MTL - Poor Family-Chapter 893 Repeat the trick

  Chapter 893 Repeat the old trick

In the next few days, the Jin soldiers did not launch an offensive. Wan Yanchang wrote to Wan Yanxie also urgently for help, asking for heavy siege weapons. The government participated in the war, and the troops stationed in the southern states of the East Road were mainly Han troops, with a number of about 15,000 people, of which 5,000 people were stationed in Jiexiu County to defend the important logistics area. Maintain local order.

  Although Wan Yanchang also knew that there would be hidden dangers in taking time out of the local army, he didn't care too much about it now. His mission was to attack Taiyuan Mansion, and Wanyan Xie should also consider the matter of maintaining local stability.

After the disastrous attack on Taiyuan City, Wan Yanchang also temporarily gave up the crowd attack method, and began to adopt an alternative siege method, attacking the city with strategy and ingenuity. The powerful thunder of the Song Army left a deep impression on him. According to my impression, he also has 300 Thunderbolts from the Song Dynasty in his hand, which can fully play a role.

  Wan Yanchang, like other generals of the Jin army, hated the thunder made by the Kingdom of Jin, and abandoned it as if he was walking on it. On the contrary, they all liked the thunder of the Song Dynasty, which was practical, stable, and powerful.

  At night, under the cover of night, dozens of Jin soldiers approached the North City quietly. When the Jin soldiers captured Taiyuan City, they used a sneak attack at night.

  Now, Wan Yanchang wants to repeat the old trick. Although the four main city gates in Taiyuan are urn cities, the city still has a weakness, and that is the water gate in Taiyuan.

Almost all big cities will have water gates, which are convenient for water transportation and bulk material transportation, and Taiyuan City is no exception. The water gate of Taiyuan is located in the northwest corner of the city, and there is a Cao River connected with Fenshui in the west. Because of winter, the river has frozen. , The water gate has also been temporarily suspended.

   But the water gate is a shortcut to enter Taiyuan City. There is no urn inside, only two wrist-thick iron gates. The gates are eight feet high. If the two iron gates are blown apart, even cavalry can enter the city.

  This plan was put forward by Liu Yanzong, the commander of the Han army, and received the unanimous support of the generals. No one wanted to lose their troops in the siege battle.

  The specific implementation plan is that 20 soldiers of the Han army are highly skilled in martial arts and quick in movement. Two miles away, 5,000 Jurchen cavalry are ready to charge towards the city gate when the explosion sounds.

  The twenty soldiers moved quickly, bending over and running for a while, and crawling on the ground for a while, getting closer and closer to the city wall.

On the top of the city, the Song army was very vigilant. There were a thousand soldiers patrolling on the top of the northern city. any movement.

The general on duty tonight at the head of Beicheng is Yang Wenyi, the commander. He is Liu Qi's subordinate. At this time, he hurried to the northwest corner of Beicheng. !"

   "Have you all seen it?" Yang Wenyi asked.

   Several soldiers nodded, "We have all seen it. There are about a dozen to twenty people. They are all lying on the ground at this moment."

  Yang Wenyi immediately realized that there might be an enemy situation. On the one hand, he sent soldiers to notify Liu Kai, and at the same time urgently dispatched 1,000 soldiers to Beicheng for support.

The 20 Jin soldiers under the city also found that there were soldiers gathered at the top of the city to observe below. They suddenly felt that something was wrong, so they had to lie on the ground, not daring to run forward any more. If they walked forward, they would enter the range of the Song army's divine arm crossbow. They didn't dare to reveal their figure before they were sure.

   At this time, Liu Kai also hurried to the northwest corner of the North City. In fact, he heard that an abnormality was found in the northwest corner, so he immediately guessed the target of Jin Bing.

  Yang Wenyi pointed to the distance and said: "There seems to be an ambush two miles away, and the brothers heard the neighing of war horses."

   Liu Kai looked intently into the distance, only to see a faint black shadow shaking in the distance, and there was indeed an ambush.

   "Did you report to the capital?" Liu Kai asked.

   "I have sent someone to report."

  Liu Kai thought for a while and said: "Don't startle the snake, and make a decision after the generals come."

   Not long after, Li Yanqing also rushed over after hearing the news. Liu Kai went forward and reported the soldier's discovery to Li Yanqing in a low voice, and said, "Obviously, the other party wants to repeat the same trick, blowing open the water gate and opening the passage into the city."

  Li Yanqing pondered for a while and said, "Could it be a slap in the face? The target is somewhere else."

   "It's unlikely, that would expose their intentions, but since everyone is worried, we can strengthen our guard everywhere."

  Li Yanqing nodded, "The first is to strengthen the guard, and the second is to block the possibility of them entering through the water gate. Is there any way to add a third gate?"

Liu Kai thought for a while and said, "It's best to block the gate with huge stones, but the huge stones won't be ready until tomorrow at the earliest. You can use huge ice blocks to seal the gate of the water city from the inside first, so that even if the golden soldiers blow up No entry through the iron fence."

  Li Yanqing said with a smile: "You can prepare the giant ice block first, but don't rush to seal the door, wait until the golden soldier explodes for the first time and then seal the door."

  Liu Kai suddenly realized, "They all want to use their tricks?"

  Li Yanqing sneered: "Since they can't remember the lesson, I'll make their lesson a little deeper."

  The soldiers lying on the ground under the city lay on the ground for half an hour, almost frozen to the point of freezing, the defenders on the top of the city gradually dispersed, and the twenty soldiers heaved a long sigh of relief.

   "Boss, do you want to move on?" Several soldiers asked.

  The leader of the golden soldier glanced at the cavalry behind, and said to one of his subordinates: "Go back and ask, do you want to continue?"

The soldier slowly withdrew and retreated back. Not long after, the soldier who had reported the news came back, and he fell on the ground and said to the leader: "It is useless for General Alihu to reprimand us for being cowardly. We have wasted too much time. He told us to go first." Beside the water gate, if the Song army is not abnormal, then light the detonation thunder, if we are discovered, then give up the action, and warn us not to give up the action without authorization, otherwise we will be beheaded!"

  The leader is a bit embarrassed, what does it mean that there is no abnormality? Just now, he reported something abnormal just now. After all, Jin Bing was still unwilling to give up, and even suspected that he had lied about the military situation. He secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Then go ahead!"

The twenty soldiers got up again and rushed towards the water gate. This time they were not noticed by the Song army, and almost ran to the bottom of the city in one breath, leaning against the city wall. The twenty Jin soldiers brought a total of three thunderbolts , one for the inner and outer iron gates, and the other is a spare.

   It was easier to blow up the water gate. Jin Bing brought a cloth bag, first tied it to the iron fence, and then put the Zhentianlei in the cloth bag. From the beginning to the end, there was nothing abnormal.

   At this time, the golden soldier who lit the fire took a look at the leader, as long as he lit the fire, there was no room for repentance.

The leader looked around carefully for a moment, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he nodded. The soldiers who lit the fire ignited the torches and ignited the matchlock that shook the sky, and twenty people fled to both sides. After running dozens of steps, they lay on the ground. They couldn't run far, and had to blow up the iron gate inside.

In just a moment, Zhentianlei exploded, and the city wall shook accordingly. A puff of thick smoke flew into the air, mixed with a lot of ice chips. The explosive force was so strong that almost the entire iron gate was broken at the root. , flew out more than ten feet away.

  The sound of the explosion was the signal, and in the distance Ali, the commander of the Jinbing Wanfu, suddenly shouted, "Kill!"

   "Kill!"

  The 5,000 Jurchen cavalry suddenly mobilized, and the 5,000 cavalry rushed like a tide, overwhelming the sky and covering the sky. The 1,000 Wanyan cavalry guards led the way, and charged a sharp spear towards the water gate in the northwest of Taiyuan City.

  According to the plan, when the Jurchen cavalry ran a mile away, the second explosion should have exploded. At this time, another violent explosion sounded from the direction of the water gate.

   Ali was overjoyed suddenly. The water gate must have been blown open. He hissed and shouted, "Break into Taiyuan City!"

In front of the water gate, the corpses of twenty Jin Guo Han soldiers were scattered all over the place. They did not cause the second thunder explosion. It was a thunderbolt dropped from the top of the city, which happened to land between them. Before they could react, it exploded in an instant It exploded, killing all 20 soldiers, their bodies were torn apart by the shock wave and shrapnel, and their death was extremely tragic.

At this time, the Song army in the city was quickly transporting large ice cubes. The huge ice cubes were transported from the ice cellar. In fact, they were already prepared and placed beside the water gate. The block was stuffed into the city cave, and then an iron gate inside was closed.

Just as the iron gate was closed, five thousand cavalry had already killed a hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall. At this moment, the long arms on the top of the city swung out, and dozens of thunderbolts flew from the top of the city, flying towards the cavalry group. Flying overhead, dozens of thunderbolts exploded on top of the cavalry, and the poisoned iron pieces shot in all directions. The huge explosion frightened the horses, and countless cavalry turned their backs.

At the same time, dense soldiers appeared on the top of the city. They raised their crossbows and fired at the cavalry. The arrows from the stormy peninsula shot at the cavalry. Five thousand cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Turn around and flee northward.

  Wan Yanchang, who was standing in the distance watching the battle, was full of remorse, and his heart seemed to be bleeding. He couldn't bear it anymore, roared, and slammed his fist **** the big tree.

  In just two short rounds of attacks, the Jurchen cavalry suffered more than 2,300 casualties. Most of the wounded were hit by poisoned iron plates. In the painful torment, these cavalrymen could not escape death in the end.
