Poor Family Chapter 732

  Chapter 732 Fierce battle at the top of the city

Dozens of siege ladders were firmly hooked to the top of the city, and a series of powerful golden soldiers stood on the siege ladders. They held copper shields and short spears and fought fiercely with the Song army on the top of the city. The soldier was picked up and flew out, screaming and falling down the city wall, falling to his death on the spot.

But a Jin soldier was killed, and the Jin soldiers behind him immediately made up for it. They used their copper shields to resist the spears stabbed by the Song soldiers, and stabbed the Song soldiers on the top of the city through the gap. A Song soldier After being pierced through the chest, he screamed and fell to the sky. Another soldier immediately made up for it.

On both sides of the battlements, throwers kept throwing iron fire thunders down the city, and there were bursts of explosions below the city. Although some soldiers were killed, the Jin soldiers had already found a way to deal with the Song army's weapons. When the iron fire thunders were thrown down, They squatted down immediately and covered themselves firmly with the copper shields. The iron plates and nails crackled on the copper shields, but did not hurt the soldiers behind the shields.

  But there were also iron fire mines that exploded under the siege ladder, breaking the ladder from the root, and the soldiers on the ladder fell one after another, causing heavy casualties.

The fierce battle lasted from morning to noon, and the siege battle had entered the most brutal stage. Arrows rained down on the city, and soldiers were constantly shot down by arrows. A siege ladder was built on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin were like crazy. Climbing up like crazy, they held shields in one hand, and fought fiercely with the Song army with spears and knives in the other. Rolling logs and stones fell on their heads like hailstones. swarm.

  Although the Song army also suffered heavy casualties, they still firmly controlled the city.

Jin Bing dispatched twenty nest carts, most of which were smashed or blown up halfway, but two nest carts rushed under the city wall. Liu Kai's eyes were red, and he shouted to the left and right: "Go to the nest! Where the car is, the enemy is not allowed to go to the city!"

He personally led 300 soldiers to a nest cart. At this time, a nest cart was less than a foot away from the city wall. A thick wooden board covered with iron was erected on the top of the nest cart. It was one foot long and five feet wide. , this is the overpass of the nest car, but this time it is a shield protecting the soldiers behind it.

Behind the shield is a four-foot-wide platform, standing seven or eight ferocious soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin, wearing iron armor, holding copper shields and spears, with ferocious faces like wild animals, and the bottom of the stairs behind them is also full of Jin Bing, the nest car could no longer move forward, and the overpass crashed down, hitting the city head heavily.

Dozens of Song Army archers who had been waiting at the top of the city fired arrows into the nest cart at the same time. The powerful arrows shot into the nest cart, but the golden soldiers in the nest cart resisted the arrow attack with copper shields. Running across the overpass and rushing to the top of the city, the main soldiers on the top of the city roared and rushed forward, fighting fiercely with several enemy troops who rushed to the top of the city, and the enemy troops in the nest car also rushed up continuously.

   "Fire Thunder with Iron!"

The Song army on the top of the city roared loudly, and three throwing soldiers rushed forward immediately, and threw three ignited iron fire thunders far into the nest car. In comparison, the shock wave it produces is not large enough to blow up large siege equipment. Its main way of killing enemies is to shoot a large number of poisoned iron nails and iron pieces into the enemy's body after the explosion, so when three bombs After the iron fire thunder exploded in the nest car, there was a moment of silence, but there was a steady stream of new enemy troops rushing up the stairs.

As dozens of Jin soldiers rushed up in a very short period of time, seven or eight Jin soldiers closely guarded the overpass, and the Song army was not allowed to approach, while the other Jin soldiers jumped onto the top of the city and fought fiercely with the Song army soldiers, sprinting with spears, Slashing with swords, **** fighting, a Song soldier in front of the battlements was cut on the forehead, blood gushed out, and fell on his back, another Song soldier rushed forward with a spear, and the spear pierced the enemy's chest.

At this time, a commander-in-chief killed the head of the city. His name was Ge Erhan, a famous warrior among the Bohai tribe. He brandished an iron spear and charged at the head of the Song army. Erhan's sudden killing caught him off guard. An iron spear pierced through his left chest and protruded from his vest. Song Jun screamed and died on the spot. The one hundred and sixty-seventy-pound corpse was picked up and thrown off the top of the wall.

The Jin Bing soldiers screamed with excitement, their morale was boosted, and they frantically killed the Song Army soldiers around them. The leader was killed, and more than a hundred Song Army soldiers fell into chaos. Inside, more than 80 Jin soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and there was a sudden danger on the top of the city, and the Jin soldiers showed signs of breaking through.

  At this critical moment, Liu Kai led 300 soldiers to kill, stabilizing the situation that was about to collapse.

  Liu Kai's eyes were bright, the passage to the upper city had been controlled by the golden soldiers, and the golden soldiers from the lower part of the city poured into the city through the passage in the nest cart. If the nest cart was not destroyed in time, the golden soldiers would probably succeed in breaking through here.

   "Liu Xin!"

Liu Kai shouted loudly, and behind him a very burly young man ran up. This man is Liu Kai's clan brother, only seventeen years old, but he is extremely powerful, with his arms capable of a thousand catties. Liu Kai has been carrying him all the time. by your side.

   "See General!"

  Liu Kai pointed to the nest driveway in the distance: "Fifty steps away, you might throw the thunderbolt into the nest cart?"

   "Hey! It's not a problem to throw two."

  Two soldiers moved two thunderbolts, Liu Xin took one thunderbolt, patted it, "Light me a fire!"

A soldier blew on a torch and ignited the fuse. Liu Xin walked quickly to the city wall and squinted at the nest cart fifty paces away. The log was dropped with precision into a well.

At this time, the fuse had burned into the iron shell. With a loud roar, he threw the Thunderbolt towards the nest car. The Thunderbolt pulled out a parabola in the air and fell into the nest car precisely. The car exploded violently.

Accompanied by deafening explosions, the three-foot-high nest cart was blown to pieces, fragments of corpses, pieces of wood and thick smoke rose into the air, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. When the smoke cleared, only small ones remained in the huge nest cart. The half of the base was surrounded by golden soldiers who had been shaken to death, there were hundreds of them.

  Jin Bing's passage to the city was destroyed, Liu Kai was extremely excited, and shouted, "Kill—"

  Thousands of Song soldiers swarmed up and surrounded more than a hundred Jin soldiers. Ge Erhan also knew that it would be difficult to go back today, so he shouted sharply: "Kill all the Song barbarians!"

More than a hundred golden soldiers from the Bohai tribe became even more frenzied. At this time, Li Yanqing also rushed over from the east wall. On the other side of the east wall, another nest car that had also reached the top of the city was burning ragingly. The nest car was a bit out of luck. The iron chain of the overpass was stuck and could not be put down in time. The Song army poured a lot of kerosene on fire and ignited it. All the thirty or so soldiers who had hidden in the nest car were burned. die.

The city was blocked by a large number of soldiers, and Li Yanqing was unable to pass. He simply jumped onto a trebuchet pier and looked at the fierce battle at the top of the city from a height. He saw more than a thousand Song soldiers surrounding a hundred Jin soldiers. The nest carts in the camp had been completely blown up, and the Jin soldiers had no way out. They had to either jump off the top of the city, or fight to the death, and the Song army would not accept their surrender.

Li Yanqing saw Liu Kai again. He was on the other side, about 300 steps away from him. There is an extremely powerful commander, the commander is Mouk in the words of the Jin people, and the commander is called Meng'an, but he is actually the leader of the tribe. A large tribe can gather tens of thousands of young and strong warriors, and the leader of the tribe is called Meng'an , in charge of the military and political power of the tribe.

Meng'an Mouke is hereditary from the family, and has nothing to do with the value of force. Although this commander is only a middle-level general, his martial arts are very strong. Dozens of soldiers of the Song Army have died in his hands. A spear is extremely brave and extremely cunning. He hides behind ordinary golden soldiers. When there is a loophole in the Song army's cooperation, he will suddenly appear, assassinate more than a dozen people in a row, and then retreat quickly, like a Wolf, waiting for the next chance to make a move.

Li Yanqing was very angry. He took his wind chasing bow from his own soldiers, drew out a spiked arrow, pulled the bow sharply, and shot at the commander who was a hundred steps away. He was so fierce that Ge Erhan was caught off guard, the arrow shot from his left temple and came out from the right, and even pierced his head.

   Ge Erhan opened his mouth wide, his eyes protruded, and after a while, he fell forward with a bang.

  The death of the commander-in-chief caused the rest of the Jin soldiers to panic, and their positions were in chaos. The Song army went all out and killed more than a hundred Jin soldiers at the top of the city.

   Right at this moment, the bell for the retreat of troops in the distance 'Dang! when! when! ' It was sounded, and after nearly four hours of fierce fighting, both sides were exhausted, Wanyanzong saw that there was no hope of attacking the city, so he had to order the withdrawal of the troops, tens of thousands of golden soldiers retreated like a sea tide.

In this battle, the Jin army suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and the Song army also suffered more than 2,700 casualties. The corpses of soldiers killed in battle can be seen everywhere. The siege ladders and nest wagons were torn apart. In the raging burning, there is a scene of tragedy after the war everywhere.
