Chapter 51 The Battle of Tongguan (15)

This time, the main general of the Jin soldiers was mainly Wanyan Salibu, who had the highest qualifications. In addition, he had been guarding Hedong, close to the six routes of Guanshan, the Song Dynasty, and was more familiar with the situation than others. It is best to use this person as the commander. However, Wanyan Salibu was so scared that he cried endlessly during a battle with the Song army. He was ridiculed as a crying man by the Song people, and his reputation was greatly damaged. He himself knew that the other tens of thousands of households were not convinced by him. After giving orders to continue attacking, Wanyan Salibu first urged his subordinates not to retreat, not to slack off, and to step up the attack of the city, thinking that the rest of the troops were role models.

Under his strict orders, the Jin soldiers climbed the city more and more anxiously. The densely packed Jin soldiers rushed towards the city walls desperately. At this moment, they didn't care about the formation and terrain. They even flocked to one place, and one fell down, and often ten people rushed forward again.

Under such a fierce attack, the defenders at the city wall did not take a step back. The shooter kept shooting out the bow and arrow until the tiger's mouth was cracked and his hands were covered with blood. Then he threw the bow and arrow, picked up the swords and guns of his dead companions, and then went to fight with the enemy in person.

The imperial soldiers at the front of the city often hugged the Jin soldiers who had just climbed up the city and fell into the city and died together when they were bleeding.

Without weapons in his hand, even his legs were cut off, he still hugged the enemy, bit with his teeth, scratched with his hands until he died together. On the long Chang'an city wall, there were fierce fighting everywhere, with broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and blood flowing everywhere.

Under the protection of dozens of guards, Zhao Huan had already reached the top of the city. Although the tragic scene in the city was like a purgatory on earth, he did not show any panic. After entering the city tower, Zhao Huan did not disturb Kang Chengxun's command, but just stood quietly and looked at the battlefield in front of him.

The bad news shows great sincerity and comes one after another.

General Hu Bin was injured in an arrow while reconnaissance of the light cavalry. He was fighting on the top of the city and was exhausted.

He died in battle soon.

Deputy General Zhu Jixiang died in battle.

The abdomen of the captain Fan Wang was cut open by the enemy, and blood, flesh and flesh flowed all over the ground, and he still fought until he fell to the city with his enemy in his arms.

There were countless middle and lower-level officers and soldiers killed and injured in battle.

Chang'an City is shaking in iron and fire.

This method of using the most simple ants to climb the city is not as high as the arrow towers higher than the city walls, nor the Lu Gong chariots that hit the city walls or the city gates, nor the stone casting car. The Jin soldiers can put such pressure on the city defenders. From morning to noon, half a day has reached the verge of breakthrough. It is necessary to say that there are too few troops guarding the city. This is the main reason. Only the simplest equipment can achieve such an effect. The enemy's bravery and good fighting are also one of the reasons.

To this extent, the emperor climbed the city to supervise the battle, and it did not bring about substantial changes. Like the Song army, which fought bravely and died, the Jin army did not care about death and injury. While neglecting the lives of the enemy, they did not take their own lives too seriously. At the same time, the Jin soldiers were superior in numbers, fighting skills and physical strength, and shooting skills. The only thing that the Song army was stronger than the enemy was the geographical advantage and the more advanced weapons and equipment.

However, the lowness of Chang'an City in the Song Dynasty did not prevent the enemy from approaching the city. Although the enemy did not attack around the city, it was only concentrated in a section west of Chang'an City. However, it still attacked with various advantages.

"Go to the camp and the guards of the squad!"

The Song army in the city had already reached the city, but still could not resist it. Even Kang Chengxun and others could not imagine it. Helplessly, he had to devote his last force. The former was shortly after the establishment of the Palace Front Division, and was led by the highest general, with only 300 people. They were all selected warriors in the army, and the latter had even fewer people. They were the military officers who were close guards around the emperor. When they were knocked down, they were at least the rank of a captain, but at this time they couldn't care.

The head of the Defeng Camp was the head captain Yi Qing, who had been standing beside Kang Chengxun for a long time. When he heard the order from the general, he looked happy and hugged Kang Chengxun and said, "The last general will not let down the general's expectations and will repay his life!"

Kang Chengxun had not answered yet, and Zhao Huan listened clearly in the city tower and said to Yi Qing: "It's better not to die."

Seeing Yi Qing being stunned, Zhao Huan smiled and said, "'Save a useful body and kill a few more golden dogs."

"yes!"

Not only Yi Qing showed an excited expression on his face, but the other soldiers of the Chaofeng Camp also listened sincerely, and each showed a touching expression on his face. The emperor was like this, even if he died in the battlefield, what would the soldiers be like?

The Defying Camp was specially used for charge and hand-to-hand combat. Hundreds of people were resting under the city. When they heard the sound of killing on the city, they all ruthlessly held their ground. After a command, they immediately arranged neatly and rushed towards the top of the city with the charge in front of the formation.

The soldiers in the first row held a large shield and raised their shoulders to cover the rain of arrows behind them. They were wearing fifty kilograms of well-built heavy armor, holding iron spears and spears. After a shout, they rushed towards the place with the largest number of Jin soldiers.

Their queue is complete and their physical strength is well preserved. They rush left and right to kill, and all the people in the front row are easy to protect. The spearmen in the back row attack one after another in the gap. The enemy stabbed the gun and stabbed the enemy with little effect. The Destroyer can easily kill the opponent with one counterattack.

Shortly after this new force was invested, squad guards followed closely, supporting tight areas with outstanding personal force. The two cooperated to finally defeat the enemy's most powerful momentum.

While the urging army swept the city, the pressure was slightly reduced, Kang Chengxun ordered one after another to start using ten thousand enemies who had already been equipped.

These sharp weapons that were cast with cast iron and were packed in wooden cages were one of the most important leverages for the Song army to defend the city. Although the gunpowder was not very powerful at that time, after the explosion, the splashed iron sheets could cause great damage in the dense enemy formation.

At the same time, the nomadic peoples in the north have not yet mastered gunpowder weapons, and they can rarely see that every explosion of ten thousand enemies can make these powerful soldiers frightened and their morale plummet.

He originally wanted to use this few firearms at the most urgent time, but he did not expect that the enemy would be forced to use it for only half a day after siege.

With the order of Kang Chengxun, dozens of strong people who were transferred to the city wall immediately ran to the city wall. Three or four people worked together to lift out the ten thousand enemies in the wooden cage and transport them to the city wall.

There were about twenty ten thousand enemies prepared in Chang'an City, which had already been cast with great effort. Zhao Huan originally didn't know that the Song Dynasty had already had firearms, and occasionally he was very interested in seeing them. After trying to blow one, he wanted to mass production on a large scale. However, this kind of weapon was too demanding, and it took too much time to manufacture and required a large number of craftsmen to work together to make one. If it was to mass production, it would have to mobilize a lot of material and financial resources. The gain was not worth the loss, so Zhao Huan had to give up.

As for improving this kind of firearm, or even inventing more and more powerful firearms, Zhao Huan never thought about it. He was not a science student, and the second was that the Song Dynasty had no such industrial ability at all. He wanted to use firearms to fight the enemy. When he created a real musket, he would have been driven to Yashan by the enemy.

"Ouch."

A civil servant had an arrow on his shoulders, his body slanted, and the black iron ball in the wooden cage suddenly rolled, scaring the people present to sweat in cold sweat.

Kang Chengxun had a dark face, and as he watched people get busy, he stabilized tens of thousands of enemies. He immediately said, "Light the fire and throw it down."

The shouts of killing at the top of the city gradually subsided, and the Killing Camp rushed left and right. Although it had exhausted a lot of effort and began to cause serious casualties, it successfully curbed the momentum of the enemy's rushing upwards.

Everyone hurriedly lit the lead, then lifted the wooden cage and threw it to the most densely populated place under the city. The gunpowder lead sprinkled a brilliant spark in the air. When it fell into the air, there was a loud bang, and the entire iron ball was exploded by the built-in gunpowder, turning into hundreds of rapidly moving iron pieces, hitting around the Jin soldiers below.

As the first enemy of ten thousand people exploded, the other dozen were thrown down everywhere in the city. Thousands of gunpowder explosions rang one after another, and the sharp roars of iron pieces scattered all over the city were the screams and wails of the Jin soldiers under the city.

Compared with the killing of these firearms, they are actually far inferior to the crossbows on the city. Apart from the unlucky person who is the first to be the brunt of the bad guy, they are a little farther away, and the speed of the iron sheet is reduced, and the explosion of gunpowder can't hurt people even more. However, the Jin soldiers were originally barbarian tribes and have very low civilization. They have never seen such a strange weapon. The loud noise made by each ten thousand enemies seemed to hit the hearts of the Jin soldiers under the city, which made them very frustrated.

In addition, the most elite troops were put into the city, and the situation slowed down. After tens of thousands of enemies surrendered, the morale of the Jin soldiers under the city fell, and with the sound of the explosion, people began to retreat.

The Jin generals commanded behind the formation knew that they could not do anything. If their morale was depressed, it would be difficult to revive it in a short period of time. Such siege methods were very casualties and injuries. They were entirely due to the blood and bravery of the soldiers. In desperation, they had to order to retreat temporarily.

The rear formation was waving flags. The Jin soldiers under the city began to slowly retreat while shooting against the Song army on the city, covering the front-line troops. They fought and retreated until half an hour later, and they all retreated from the range of the Song army.

When they all retreated, the Song army at the top of the city cheered loudly, waved their swords and held their spears, and shouted and scolded the Jin people not far away. Many people burst into tears and leaned against the bloody city. They wanted to shout, but couldn't speak. After half a day of hard fighting, the Song army at the top of the city went all out, and the casualties were extremely heavy. When the enemy retreated, they realized that they were still in the world. Only these survivors on the city could realize the taste of this.

Kang Chengxun only saw the enemy retreating seriously, but felt his legs weak and almost stood up straight. He didn't care about the casualties, so he immediately arrived at Zhao Huan and knelt down on one knee towards Zhao Huan, reporting: "Your Majesty, the enemy retreat."

Zhao Huan was not as happy as he imagined. He just looked out of the city from the height of the city tower and saw teams of Jin soldiers reorganizing the team with the shouts of the commander. Although many people were covered in blood, the formation was not chaotic, and the weapons in their hands were in their hands. After the whole team sat down to rest, they were also placed beside them, ready to pick them up at any time.
