The Guardian Army under Hai Dongqing was already quite well-equipped, and the delay of more than ten days just gave him time to breathe, giving him the opportunity to transport all the materials transferred from Snake Island. Although the Liao people didn't give much supplies, they still gave a lot of basic combat materials such as weapons and arrows. Combined with the previous support, the number is enough to equip a decent soldier and horse.

The 25,000 cathars did not have armor, but they all had weapons. Among them, there are more than 3,000 bows and arrows, more than 5,000 light shields of the Liao army, and more than 10,000 light helmets. Therefore, this is the most well-equipped apologists led by Hai Dongqing since the uprising.

Eight thousand cathars were the first echelon, and they were fully equipped, with four thousand well-armored cathars charging forward with ladders, two thousand archers following closely behind, and two thousand shield-bearers carrying shields as cover. A three-dimensional formation was formed and rushed to within a hundred steps of the city.

Without waiting for Guo Kun's order, the defenders at the head of the city fired arrows in unison, and the feather arrows poured down like a torrential rain. But because of the shield cover, and the road leading to the city is unhindered and unimpeded. In addition, the fire pot thrown by the Holy Spirit Regiment had not been extinguished, and some of the defenders at the head of the city had to free up their hands to extinguish the fire, and the fire attack was limited. During the tea time, the cathars rushed to the city at the cost of only more than a thousand people.

The defenders at the head of the city began to throw wooden stones down, and countless stones and sassholes rolled down, and the flesh and blood below the smashed were flying sideways, screaming in the sky. But Rao was so, and dozens of ladders were erected in the rain of stones and arrows, and set up at the head of the city.

Two thousand apologists began to shoot arrows at the head of the city to suppress, the apologists under the city began to attack the city, and the eight thousand cathars of the second echelon also roared. At the same time, seven or eight rushing cars were also pushed by the bandits to rush to the city gate where the fire had already broken out.

The city and the city fell into a scorching fierce battle almost instantly, and quickly reached the climax of the battle.

For the forbidden army defending the city, there was not much pressure in the face of such an attack, and the more than 10,000 defenders did not have much disadvantage in terms of numbers. Even if there is a disadvantage, it is compensated for by the high walls of the fortified city and the combat power of the equipment. In addition, the materials for defending the city are sufficient, and there is no pressure at all. As the battle progressed, the cathars suffered heavy casualties, while the defenders at the head of the city were not too much to lose at all, except for a lot of fire wounds and some sporadic shots from the archers below.

The cathar offensive did not make much progress. The assault on the walls was deadly and hopeless, and the only way to make progress was at the gates. The gates were on fire, and the drawbridge was on fire, which could be a concern for the defenders. And it seems that the defenders at the head of the city did not care about this, they did not even care about the fire at the city gates, and they did not specifically increase their manpower to stop the rushing cars from bombarding the city gates. For the cathars, this may be a breakthrough for them.

Sure enough, after the siege entered the second hour, after the hundreds of breakthroughs at the head of the city were repulsed, when Hai Dongqing was anxious about this, there was good news from the city gate that made Hai Dongqing excited. With a loud rumbling sound, the heavy city gate with smoke and fire was blasted open by several rushing cars, and the passage leading to the city was suddenly opened. The city gate would not have been blasted open so easily, and the east gate of Xingren Mansion, which was a little thick, was blocked by more than a dozen iron bars, and even a huge rushing car might not be able to shake it. In addition, in such a siege battle, there must be a forest of logs behind the city gate, full of sandbags to resist horses and other things, even if the city gate is blasted open, it may not be useful.

However, what is surprising is that the moment the city gate was opened, the cathars found that the city gate was empty and unimpeded. The cool breeze blowing through the hall made the sweaty bandits feel comfortable, and this surprise came too suddenly.

Hai Dongqing, who received the news, looked up to the sky and laughed, the officers and soldiers held it up, and they were stubborn, thinking that they would be able to defend the city, and it seemed that they did not expect that the city gate would be lost at all. This is the price of their arrogance. Those 2,000 imps of the Holy Spirit Regiment are worth dying. At least the fires they set at the gates and towers worked. The city gates were burned and weakened, the towers were still burning, and the defenders could not be reinforced in time. As soon as the city gate opened, Xingren Mansion was at your fingertips.

After learning this exciting good news, the Holy Maidens suddenly sang loudly, and the sound of silk and bamboo resounded on the battlefield.

"The Holy Father is great, invincible, and unrivaled by divine soldiers. The Holy Father is the greatest, as if walking on the ground, attacking the city and pulling out the village, and killing all the stubborn enemies. ”

Accompanied by a bewitching singing, Hai Dongqing ordered loudly: "All attack, attack the city, don't entangle with them at the head of the city." After entering the city, they will kill people when they see them, and the chickens and dogs will not be left. They were forced to go down to the city to fight. ”

Hai Dongqing personally led the remaining 9,000 guardians to rush to the city gate, and all the guardians who were attacking the city wall gathered at the city gate, they stepped on the embers of the city gate, shouting and rushing into the city, and after a while, tens of thousands of protectors poured into the city gate. Although the defenders at the head of the city struggled to gather at the gate to stop this, but the city was so narrow that they could not come with many people, and they could not stop it.

Everyone was dumbfounded, the people in the city who were waiting for the good news never expected that they could not wait for the good news, but they waited for the terrible news. It only lasted for more than an hour, and the east gate of Xingren Mansion, which was guarded by more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, was breached by the bandits. They panicked, looked at each other, and didn't know what to do.

In the yamen of the palace, the officials who had gathered to wait for the news of the battle were also dumbfounded, and some of them began to scold the defenders for their incompetence and the stupidity of the generals of the forbidden army. Originally, in order to defend the city, a large number of sandbags were piled up in the east gate cave to block the city gate hole alive. However, the general of the forbidden army ordered all these sandbags to be removed and vacated the city gate. They said that the bandits could not attack at all, and there was no need to be so careful. Blocking the sandbag is a sign of lack of self-confidence. Now it's a good thing, the city gate has been broken open, what's the use of the city wall no matter how high it is? They're in. You must know that once you enter the street fight, the advantage of the opponent's large number can be completely useful. The forbidden army was incompetent and ruined the Xingren Mansion.

Someone directly pointed the finger at that Lin Jue, and it was that Lord Lin who said he wanted to do this. What can a scholar do to lead the army, this person is Zhao Kuo, who can only talk on paper, and everyone will be miserable by him.

Compared with the panic in the city, Lin Jue on the city wall had a strange smile on his face. Guo Kun frowned and said to Lin Jue: "I took a huge risk to agree to you to do this, don't mess things up, now it can be regarded as luring wolves into the house, and such sects and bandits have poured in." ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Don't worry, isn't this what we discussed last night?" Didn't you raise your hands in approval? Why is this scared again? This trick is called inviting the king into the urn, closing the door to catch the turtle, so that Hai Dongqing can not escape with his wings, and he will be completely destroyed here. lest he not be able to take the city, he will choose to anoint the soles of his feet. This person is extremely cunning, how can he be fooled if he doesn't give him some sweetness. Don't say it, uncle, I have to prepare, uncle, your task is to wait for Hai Dongqing's people to enter the city, immediately recapture the city gate, block the city gate with sandbags, and prevent them from going out. I have to go and immediately order Wu Yongbo to guard the gate of the inner city. ”

Guo Kun smacked his lips and said: "That's it, now that it's over, you can do what you want, can you still regret it?" Hurry up and don't let them break through the inner gates. ”

Lin Jue laughed, turned around and shouted, "Wei Dakui, are you ready?" Go with the official to get the credit. It's a big credit to take care of you this time. ”

Wei Dakui, who was already gearing up beside him, said loudly: "Lord Lin, thank you for your support, I have been waiting for this for a long time, everything is ready." Just waiting for the adults to give the order. ”

Lin Jue nodded and shouted, "Okay, act now." ”

After the East Gate was unexpectedly breached, countless cathars rushed into the city. Hai Dongqing led the third echelon of 9,000 apologetics to also rush into the city at the fastest speed. In the process, they did not encounter much resistance. The defenders of the city seemed to have panicked and could not organize an effective attack. Nearly 20,000 cathars rushed into the city gate without hindrance.

However, they soon sensed that something was wrong. They soon discovered that although they had entered the city, they had only entered the outer city, and within two blocks of the charge, they found another tall wall lying in front of them. This is the inner city wall of Heungin Province. Although the inner city walls were not as tall and strong as the outer city walls, they became a barrier in front of them at this moment, blocking their way forward. As soon as they got nearer, arrows came at them from the walls, forcing them not to come closer.

In order not to be delayed and occupy the inner city as soon as possible, the cathar generals chose to explore and attack along the inner city walls in the direction of both sides. However, they soon discovered that the inner city walls were spreading all the way to the seams, and there were no gaps at all. The thoughtful generals suddenly realized that they had rushed into a sandwich area between the inner and outer walls, no more than two or three miles wide. The inner and outer walls sandwiched them like minced meat, and they could not take a step forward, but could only detour along the circular sandwich to the sides, but they could not enter.

This is exactly the trap designed by Lin Jue. Lin Jue was ready to annihilate the bandits, and he was not satisfied with just repelling the opponent's attack. If it was just to repel Hai Dongqing's siege, such a goal would be too easy to accomplish. More than 10,000 heavily armed defenders to defend Heungin Province were not a problem at all. With Hai Dongqing's current strength, it is only possible to capture Xingren Mansion unless he doubles his manpower. However, Lin Jue didn't want to let Hai Dongqing go, once the siege was blocked, a shrewd person like Hai Dongqing would definitely escape. Although that will not affect the overall situation of counterinsurgency, it is still possible for Hai Dongqing to disappear without a trace, and this person definitely has the ability to get out.
