Chapter 46 Inspired blood and fighting spirit
The Song army in Wengcheng kept throwing thunder.
However, the Jin army attacked the city so intensively that no matter how fast the thunderbolts were thrown, the damage range would be limited after all.
After the role of the fierce fire oil tank was greatly reduced, the city fell into a fierce close combat.
There was the sound of blunt objects hitting the iron armor everywhere.
The Jin army attacked the tower in droves, and was killed in droves.
Some places in the city changed hands several times.
The Jin army fought very fiercely. After breaking through the defense line many times, they expanded the scope of their operations.
The Song army was very tenacious and resisted to the death.
Sometimes it takes three Song troops to surround and kill one Jin soldier, and even four or five to kill one Jin soldier.
The military discipline of the Song Army has been in disrepair for a long time, and many people no longer know how to fight.
If it hadn't been for this period of time, Zhang Shuye was training troops in the city every day, and Zhao Ning was constantly mobilizing and indoctrinating everyone, the current situation might have been more tragic, or even worse.
The soldiers of the Song Army fell quickly one by one, and those behind immediately came up to replace them.
On the steps of the city tower, there were many Song troops standing, looking nervously at the top.
As long as there is a vacancy on the top, the ones at the front will fill it, and the ones behind will go up in order, so that there is a continuous supply.
In the wind and snow, everyone’s backs were wet with sweat.
Death is so close, right before our eyes.
But no one flinched, and no one said a word even though they knew they were going to die.
Everyone was silent, holding on with actions that seemed silly.
The officers shouted in their ears: "For our home! For our children!"
Although his voice could no longer be heard in the noisy tower.
But everyone knows what he's talking about.
Bang bang...
One after another "iron artillery" crossed the city wall, smashed in, and exploded on the ground in front.
People around him hurriedly ran away.
The officers continued to shout: "We cannot retreat! We will fight the enemy to the end!"
An officer who had been promoted to Du Yuhou for his merits quickly climbed up the steps.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I will kill the enemy with you!"
Everyone could not help but feel sad and angry as they watched one young man after another go up and then never come down again.
The sounds of fighting and screams can be heard in most of Tokyo.
The people looked here nervously.
Everyone's face showed fear, but many people still stood firm in their places, holding the iron rods in their hands tightly.
As soon as the Jin army invaded, they would form a new line of defense in this area and engage in street fighting with the Jin army.
Zhao Ning looked in the direction of the South City Gate and the West City Gate. He looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was very nervous in his heart.
You must cross this hurdle. After crossing this hurdle, you can walk slowly on the road ahead!
For the past month, he had been in the Wende Hall day and night, looking through the Song Dynasty's financial reports, various policies, and past memorials.
Including various policies from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the restructuring during the Qingli Period, and why they failed.
Then to the rise of party items.
Alliance of Chanyuan.
Wang Anshi’s Reform.
Chongning expands the border.
To the Sea Alliance.
Finally, we get to the Battle of Tokyo City.
The Song Dynasty was turbulent for hundreds of years.
However, it has accumulated disadvantages for hundreds of years, becoming poor and weak.
He listed corresponding restructuring policies for various problems in the Song Dynasty, and formulated strategic plans and goals to enrich the country and strengthen the army in the next few decades.
So, you must cross this hurdle!
At this time, he knew that every living life on the city was dying.
As a person in the 21st century, encouraging those people to die on the battlefield is a huge psychological challenge in itself.
He felt as if a mountain was weighing on his heart.
However, since we have traveled to this war-torn era, we must constantly challenge ourselves and endure it.
Because the situation will be more difficult in the future, and there will be countless moments like this.
The trebuchets on both sides tirelessly hurl explosive thunderbolts at each other.
Until the Jin Army's "iron artillery" was used up first.
The pressure on the Song Army's city walls was greatly reduced.
In a bloody battle that lasted for more than an hour, the Song army recaptured the city again.
During this period, the Song army jumped down from the city together with the Jin army who had attacked the city.
I just jumped into the city.
He fell down and his body twitched a few times.
Some medical personnel who were around rushed over.
They took off the soldier's helmet and prepared to rescue him, but found that he was already dead.
He wanted to say something: "My name is...my family..."
In the end, he died before he finished speaking.
Then he was carried down.
On the city tower, the Song Army officer shouted: "Come up, gentlemen!"
Jin Bing also roared: "Kill these Song dogs!"
The Jin army is still climbing up.
We have to admire their fighting will and force. They wielded their weapons with greater strength and faster speed than the Song army, and their attacks were more decisive and ruthless.
This is something that has been tempered on the battlefield for a long time, and it is impossible for ordinary people to do it.
At this time, below outside the city, corpses were piled up like a hill.
There are the corpses of the Jin army and the corpses of the Song army.
Even Wanyan Wushu's heart sank when he saw such a scene.
"Report! The Axianmeng Security Army has been annihilated!"
Meng'an was the thousand-man commander of the Jin army, and the number of men varied according to the importance of his position.
A captain of a thousand does not mean only a thousand men, but three thousand men.
The Meng'an Mouke system was a system of integrating soldiers and farmers of the Jin Army, similar to the Tang Dynasty's Mansion Army system and the Ming Dynasty's Guard system.
There are three hundred households in a muke, and one person from each household will be drawn during war.
There are about three hundred people in a Muke.
Ten Mooke is equivalent to one Meng'an, and the strength of Meng'an is generally about 3,000.
"Report! Dujimou defeated!"
"Retribution! Shujia plans to defeat the enemy!"
"..."
Under the banner, Wanyan Wushu listened to these reports, his heart sank.
After the Song army recaptured the city head, they began to use long knives to chop down the ladder below.
If the upper part is cut off, the height of the ladder will not be high enough, and the people below will not be able to climb up the battlements.
Some people used iron hooks to pry up the ladder.
The iron hook hooked the ladder, and about ten people pushed it out at the same time. A long line of Jin Army soldiers on the ladder fell from the top and died immediately.
The war has been going on for several hours, and both sides are obviously tired.
Screams kept coming from the pile of corpses under the city tower, and those who were not dead were crawling with difficulty.
"Help me! I'm not dead yet!"
No one paid any attention to them.
At this moment, Song Jun on the tower used ropes to hang up pots of boiling oil.
Then start falling down.
After the hot oil slanted down, it quickly scorched the iron armor, and a lot of it seeped in from the gaps in the iron armor. The Jin soldiers on the ladder let out painful wails and fell one after another.
In many places, the Song army also pulled up molten iron in iron containers from under the city.
The wind and snow fell into the molten iron without any ripples.
