Chapter 114: "Boom!"
In the battle of the expedition to the west, Li Xin led the army to cross the Motianling, hit the Jiangyou Pass, and then gnawed down Fuxian within three days, but finally ran into a wall in Mianzhu City, at that time, there were 20,000 square meters of southern army, with Li Xin's strength at that time, even if it could be gnawed down, it would take more than ten days or even longer, and the price of gnawing down would be that his own troops would be disabled.
However, at that time, it only took Li Xin a day or two to miraculously break open the gate of Mianzhu City and drive Cheng Ping's troops out of Mianzhu City.
This is something that is simply impossible to understand in this era, and almost everyone in the entire Great Jin Dynasty, whether in the court or in the opposition, can't figure out how Li Xin did it.
So much so that Li Xin could only blame this matter on the non-existent "Pure Yang Zhenren", and today, in the eighth year of Taikang, Pure Yang Zhenren has even become a well-known immortal, and many people in various places have built temples for him and molded his golden body.
But after all, there are some people who don't believe in God, they don't believe that there is really any god who blew up Mianzhu City, but the facts are in front of them, and the explanation given by Li Xin is clever enough, so these people are just skeptical.
Mu Ying naturally knew about the Mianzhu incident back then, but he was very arrogant, thinking that Li Xin had done something, and when he heard Li Xin say this, he immediately reacted, turned his head sharply, and looked at these unknown things that were pressed under the white cloth.
"Master Hou, these ......"
This fashion is early in the morning, the sky is still dark, but it has been faintly white, a round of red sun is rising in the east, and the first ray of sunlight is spreading down, shining on the face of the Marquis of Jing'an.
Li Xin quietly looked at the sun in the east and said slowly: "When Pei attacks the city in a while, you will know." ”
When attacking the city yesterday, the Hanzhou army had already shown the situation of the end of the crossbow, and most of Pei Jin's troops would attack Hanzhou with all their strength today, wanting to break the city in one fell swoop.
Mu Ying was originally short of breath, but when she heard this, she took a few deep breaths and said, "Master Hou, these things...... What should I do, do I want to send someone to ......? ”
"No, you don't."
Li Xin said quietly: "I have already arranged people, you just defend the city normally like yesterday." ”
Mu Ying nodded, looked at the brighter and brighter sky, and said: "Three days ago, Pei Jin's headquarters began to beat drums and attack at Chenshi, and at this time it was already close to Chenshi, and they were coming soon. ”
Li Xin took out a clairvoyant mirror from his sleeve, closed one eye and looked into the distance, and then let out a long breath.
"Here they are."
When Mu Ying heard this, he hurriedly took out his own clairie mirror, looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw that a few miles away, the crowd of black oppressors had already surged towards Hanzhou City.
His face changed slightly.
"Master Hou, I'm going to coordinate the war, it's dangerous on this city wall, go down quickly."
Li Xin shook his head slightly.
"Today I will be on the tower of the city, and I will not go anywhere."
As he spoke, he got up from the ground, took out his armor from under the white cloth behind him, and dressed himself in a hurry.
A set of full-body armor is quite troublesome to wear, so when many generals are fighting, they do not leave their armor at night and do not leave their hands to prevent sudden problems, but at this time, the enemy is still several miles away, and there is enough time for Li Xin to calmly cover the armor.
After putting on the armor, he put the pheasant sword at his waist, then took a black cloth from his body, covered his face, and finally put the helmet on his head, revealing only his two eyes.
Mu Ying was on the side, and after watching Li Xin get dressed neatly, he exhaled and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou is better to go downstairs, there will be a catapult to throw stones on the city tower later, if it hurts you......"
Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry about me, you just go and command." ”
Mu Ying looked up, and the imperial army in the distance had reached a distance visible to the naked eye.
He took a deep breath and turned to leave.
"Master Hou, I haven't seen your kid yet, after this incident, I have to go to the capital to meet my nephew, you can't have an accident here."
With that, he turned away with great strides and shouted on the city walls.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, the whole army is on alert!"
"Ready, archers are ready to shoot at the place of an arrow, and shoot straight within a hundred paces!"
Mu Ying had a very high prestige in the Hanzhou army, and after a few shouts from him, the Hanzhou army on the city wall immediately stood on guard, staring at the imperial army coming from afar.
Yesterday, the reason why the Hanzhou army was so embarrassed was because Mu Ying ordered the water to be released, but today, the military order that the Hanzhou army got was to deal with it with all its might.
Li Xin looked at the scene in front of him and smiled slightly.
Wang Tao and Shen Gang walked behind him at some point, hugged their fists at him and said, "Master Hou, the brothers are all in armor." ”
The brothers in their mouths are the hands of Li Xin who brought them from the capital to the north and from the north to the city of Hanzhou.
Li Xin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Let them be on standby at any time, and they must not act rashly without my order!" ”
Shen Gang bowed his head deeply.
"Obedience!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a stone the size of two adult fists whistled from a distance, rubbed Li Xin's forehead and smashed to the ground, turning into shatters on the bluestone city wall.
Li Xin's forehead was wiped with a wound, he reached out to wipe the blood on his forehead, and then glanced at the place where the stone fell with palpitations.
It is less than a meter away from those "sky thunders"!
Shen Gang and the others were taken aback, and immediately surrounded them, looking nervous.
"Master Hou!"
Li Xin waved his hand, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just a flesh wound." ”
"You take these things off the tower for the time being."
Shen Gang and the others immediately took action and moved all these heavenly thunders to the bottom of the city tower, leaving only one on the city wall, which was held by the Marquis of Jing'an to play with.
On the wall of Hanzhou City, which was thrown by catapults, from time to time there were soldiers of the Hanzhou Army who were injured by stones, or even directly killed, and at the same time, these court soldiers were pressed under the city of Hanzhou with shields.
At the same time, ladders were erected on top of the city wall.
In just half an hour, the defense line of Hanzhou City was broken, and the troops of these imperial courts had already begun to build a cloud ladder!
However, the Hanzhou army, under the command of Mu Ying, quickly counterattacked, and pieces of Luoshi and hot oil made these people who climbed on the ladder scream and fell, and at the same time knocked down a large number of people behind them.
However, there are many more people who flock to the ladder!
The assault is so cruel, stacking with human lives, and when the defending side is unable to deal with the crowds under the city, the city will be broken.
At the same time, there was also a person at the gate of the city holding a thick piece of wood, which was made into a ram and slammed into the gate of Hanzhou City.
Li Xin was dressed in black armor and covered with a black scarf on his face, watching quietly from the city wall.
He was waiting for a suitable opportunity.
The battle was extremely fierce, and on the city walls, under the city walls, there was a choking bloody smell everywhere.
Finally, a soldier of the imperial court jumped from the ladder and jumped onto the wall of Hanzhou City, he held a long knife, and hacked to death a soldier of the Hanzhou army with one sword, tearing a hole in the city wall!
More imperial troops poured onto the walls of Hanzhou City.
Marquis Jing'an squinted his eyes and waved his hand.
More than 100 people covered with armor, each holding a clay pot in their hands, stood in the position that Li Xin had explained before.
The Marquis of Jing'an was expressionless, took out a fire fold from his sleeve, and pointed it on the lead of the clay pot.
The clay pot is in free fall, falling from the city walls.
At the same time, hundreds of clay pots were set on fire at the same time and fell from the city walls.
Fell into the crowd below.
Li Xin, who was on the city wall, slowly closed his eyes, and then covered his ears with his hands.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion resounded throughout the city of Hanzhou.
Even though Li Xin had covered his ears in advance, he was still a little hurt by the shock.
