It turned out that Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Chen monks had fought with the Great Song Dynasty for many years, and they knew the power of the heavy infantry of the Song army, so they also trained a heavy infantry according to the style of the Song army, but the Jin army had never used it on the battlefield. Now Wanyan Chen monk saw that although the Jin army crashed open the city gate, the Song army was too tightly guarded, and the Jin army could not kill it at all, so he wanted to send heavy armored infantry to fight, but he was afraid that his heavy armored infantry was the first time to go into battle, and ordered the general Daduchen to go into battle in person and take the lead in the charge.

Both the Song and Jin had heavy cavalry, and they had many battles on the battlefield, but the battle between the heavy infantry on both sides was still one, but neither side expected that it would happen in this environment.

This time it was a hard-fought battle, both sides were heavy infantry, and the quality of weapons and armor was almost the same, knives and axes clashed, armor and armor collided, and the warriors' roars and screams would sound almost at the same time, and the warriors in front fell, and they were immediately filled by the warriors behind, and no one would back down. In fact, the fallen fighters were not necessarily fatally injured, and many of them were forced to faint by the strong impact of their opponents. This is also only the case with hoplites.

Although the heavy infantry of the Song army was much more skilled in cooperating with each other, the Jin army was supported by a fierce general like Daduchen in the array, so the two armies fought an evenly matched match for a while. However, although the Jin army finally stabilized its position and did not retreat, it was very difficult to advance into the city again. In this way, the battle for the gate has also entered a stalemate.

Daduchen waved his mace, "huh, huh" twice, and stoned two more Song soldiers to death, but before he could rush forward, the gap was immediately filled by the Song soldiers behind. Daduchen couldn't help but let out a sigh, he was also a third-generation disciple of Huining Temple, but in this narrow and crowded space, he had a superb martial arts but could not exert it, so he could only rely on brute force to fight with each other like ordinary soldiers. Therefore, in this environment, he is just a soldier with stronger combat effectiveness, although he has knocked down more than ten Song soldiers in a row, but his physical strength and energy are also rapidly consumed.

With a "whew" stick, Daduchen knocked down another Song soldier, and at this moment, only to hear "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" in the crowded city gate hole, there was a sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air. Almost at the same time, three Jin soldiers beside Daduchen let out a miserable scream, each with two or three crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies, and fell to the ground and died. There were also two arrows that hit Daduchen's body, one was bounced away by the heavy armor, and the other pierced the armor, but the strength was completely eliminated and did not cause damage to Daduchen. But the sound of arrows breaking through the air kept ringing, and behind the left and right of Daduchen, there were continuous screams of Jin soldiers after being hit by arrows.

Daduchen couldn't help but be surprised and surprised, in such a narrow and crowded space, how could the Song army use bows and arrows? When I looked up, I saw that behind the Song army, a row of Song army's crossbow archers was more than half a body taller than the others, and everyone was holding a divine arm bow and was firing crossbow arrows at the Jin soldiers. Only after careful inspection did I realize that they were actually launched by their companions on their shoulders.

It turned out that Zhang Shiyan saw that the Jin army also used heavy infantry to compete with the Song army, and in the face of the stubborn resistance of the Jin army, the Song army could not block the Jin army out of the city gate, and he couldn't help but be very anxious. Although the Song army is now able to block the Jin army, because after the city gate is opened, there is a subtle change in the psychology and morale of both the attacker and the defender. After a long time, I'm afraid it will still be unfavorable to the Song army.

At the same time, the 200 heavy armored infantry who were transferred also killed 60 or 70 people at this time, and the city wall has been transferred to 500, although there are still 800 heavy armored infantry in Haozhou City, but I don't know if it is enough. It is not clear how many heavy infantry the Jin army has, and if the heavy infantry is exhausted, what will be used to resist the Jin army?

At this moment, Zhang Shiyan suddenly saw the Divine Arm Archers standing on the side, although they all had crossbow arrows loaded, but now the city gate cave was crowded with people, and they didn't dare to fire it easily. Zhang Shiyan had an idea and immediately came up with a solution. He immediately ordered all the Divine Arm archers to ride on the shoulders of their companions. In this way, the Divine Arm Archer is a lot taller than everyone else, and can condescend to the unhindered Jin Army to fire crossbow arrows.

Although the Jin soldiers were all heavy armor infantry, the Song soldiers used all divine arm crossbows, and their strength was not comparable to ordinary bows and arrows, and the distance was so close, so although some of the crossbow arrows were blocked by the heavy armor, there were still many crossbow arrows that penetrated the heavy armor and shot into the body of the Jin soldiers.

The Jin army originally thought that this was purely a contest of heavy infantry, and never thought that the crossbowmen would still be able to use it in this way, but now it is too late to transfer the crossbowmen to participate in the battle. The addition of the Song army's divine arm crossbowmen immediately changed the equilibrium situation in the city gate cave, although the Jin army was also fighting hard, but under the combined attack of the Song army's weapons from near and far, it finally could not support it and began to retreat.

At this time, even the Grand Commander was hit by two arrows, one in the left shoulder and the other in the right chest. Because the cuirass is the thickest part of the armor, although it is shot through, it is not deep in the flesh, so it is not a big problem. The arrow shot at the left shoulder was different, the shoulder was the moving part, so the nail leaf was very thin, and this arrow almost pierced the left shoulder of the capital. Therefore, he was suddenly unable to fight any longer, but fortunately, the Jin soldiers on the left and right protected him and saved his life, but he could only retreat from the battlefield.

The retreat of the majority of the ministers, the Jin army was even more unable to support it, and was finally completely driven out of the city gate by the Song army, and the two gates slowly closed again, and finally "bang" and closed tightly. Then the Song army immediately replaced a deadbolt frame again, and the engineer took a few thick planks, wheeled the hammer, bang bangbang, horizontal and vertical, and filled the big hole that was broken by the Jin army, and supported it with a few oblique logs, in the end all the gaps were blocked.

It was only at this time that Zhang Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief, although after a fierce battle, he finally repelled the Jin army and held the city gate, which was worth it. Immediately ordered the soldiers to sweep the corpses in the city gates, keep a close eye on the city gates, and try to block the city gates as firmly as possible. Then he walked out of the hole in the city gate and turned up the city wall.

Although these 500 heavy infantry were not many, the positions on the city walls were also limited. Therefore, when 500 heavy infantry joined the battlefield on the city wall, the previous advantage of the Jin army was immediately digested. Because of the narrow position on the city wall, it was impossible to lay out a heavy armor sword array, but after the heavy infantry was trained, they also knew the reason for adapting to the situation, and after entering the city, they immediately dispersed into a group of ten people, lined up in a row, and then advanced towards the Jin army attacking the head of the city.

Because it was necessary to climb the city, the Jin army besieging the city was lightly armed, but it could withstand the attack of the heavy infantry. His own knives and guns slashed the opponent's armor, which basically did not work, and more than ten snow-bright broadswords in the opponent's hand were cut down on the head together, which made it impossible to resist at all, and could only fall under the knife of the Song army one by one. The heavy infantry of the Jin army could not step on the city wall to support, so the gold soldiers in the city could only support it.

And after the gate of Haozhou City under the city was opened, it also involved a considerable part of the Jin army's energy, because in the eyes of many people, it is naturally much more convenient to enter the city directly from the city gate than to jump over the city wall, so most of the Jin army stood by the city gate, waiting for the companions in front to kill the Song army, and then rushed into the city together.

In this way, there were many fewer Jin soldiers who kicked the city, and the Jin army in the city could not stand the heavy infantry of the Song army, coupled with the gradual decrease in the number of follow-ups, so the Jin army in the city became less and less. The Song army gradually recaptured most of the battlements, and launched a ferocious attack on the Jin army's tower carts. Several more tower cars were crashed at once.

At this time, the monk Wanyan Chen, who watched the battle under the city, was also secretly surprised, and he couldn't imagine that he had spent so much effort, not only to attack the city, but also to break open the city gate, according to the general situation, when the battle reached this point, the besieging side thought that the siege party was sure to win, and the defending army arrived at this time, the will to resist should have lost most of it, but the Song army was still tenacious, whether it was in the city or under the city, they fought to the death, and now it seems that there is still the momentum of reversing the disadvantage.

Seeing this, although Monk Wanyan Chen's face was still silent, there was a big wave in his heart, was it difficult for Jin Guo's southern expedition to be a wrong decision?

On the one hand, because he and Wanyan Changzhi are like flesh and blood, they absolutely support and support Wanyan Changzhi's decision, and on the other hand, it is also because Wanyan Chen is also well aware of the current situation facing the Jin State, which is absolutely not optimistic. It is necessary to take advantage of the fact that the Song and Mongolia have not yet formed a north-south attack, and first hit one of them hard, so as to lay a good foundation for the development of Dajin in the future.

And this time he raised troops to attack Haozhou, it was to implement Wanyan Changzhi's strategy, the purpose was to attract the attention of the Song army, and it was best to lure Yang Yan over, and then Wanyan Changzhi would lead the army to attack from the western front, conquer Liyang Mansion in one fell swoop, and seize the strategic important place built by the Southern Song Dynasty in Jiangbei.

Although Monk Wanyan Chen is not a proud and arrogant person, looking at the entire Southern Song Dynasty, only Yang Yan and Bi Zaiyu can be worthy of his attention, and others such as Cao Xun, Gao Zhen, Meng Zongzheng and others are still effortless to deal with them consciously. Therefore, when he learned that Yang Yan was still sitting in Ezhou, and the person who presided over the overall situation in Haozhou City was Gao Zhen, Monk Wanyan Chen was also full of confidence, thinking that it would be easy to take down Haozhou, and it would be interesting to see if Yang Yan could sit still at that time. As long as Yang Yan can be lured out, Wanyan Changzhi can immediately send troops and enter Xiangyang Mansion, in that way, this time the southern expedition will be in the palm of his hand.

But Wanyan Chen monk never expected that he would encounter a difficult bone in Haozhou, so from this point of view, it may not be easy to achieve the goal of the southern expedition this time. It will even ...... Fail?

Thinking of this, Wanyan Chen monk immediately forbade himself to think about it anymore and forced himself to focus on the battlefield. Although the casualties of the Jin army have not yet been counted, judging by the experience of monk Wanyan Chen, it will never be small. Moreover, most of the battle has passed, and the Jin army is very tired, but the Song army is probably not any better now.

Now the Jin army has two choices, one is to withdraw the troops, and the other is to continue to invest troops. After all, now the Jin army has attacked the city with the scriptures, and has crashed into the city gate, there is a siege war, to achieve such a result, it is not an easy thing, once the army is withdrawn, it is equivalent to the previous efforts are abandoned, but continue to invest troops, whether it can capture Haozhou, Wanyan Chen monk has no bottom in his heart, if he still can't capture Haozhou, the loss of the Jin army will be further expanded. Therefore, at this time, Monk Wanyan Chen was also in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to choose.

But at this moment, the whole army of the Jin army suddenly let out a sigh, it turned out that the Song army had fought hard and finally regained control of the city gate, drove the Jin country out of the city, and closed the city gate again. Moreover, the general Daduchen was also seriously injured and was carried back. On the city wall, after the heavy infantry of the Song army participated in the battle, the situation gradually fell to the side of the Song army, and the Jin army could only support it on the city wall.

At this time, Monk Wanyan Chen also knew that the general trend had gone. Because it was the Jin army that broke through the city gate, and after entering the city, it was driven out by the Song army, which brought a heavy blow to the morale of the Jin army. Monk Wanyan Chen is also a famous general who has experienced a hundred battles, and immediately made a decision and ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

With the sound of the horn of the Jin army's collection of troops, the Jin soldiers who attacked the city retreated one after another along the tower cart, and then the tower cart left the city wall one by one and slowly withdrew. At the same time, the long-range weapons of the Jin army began to be activated again to cover the retreat of the army. And the Song army did not show weakness, the Jin army retreated from the city wall, the crossbowmen reoccupied the battlements, opened their bows and arrows, and the bed crossbows and trebuchets of the Song army were all immediately launched, pursuing the retreating Jin army under the city. At the same time, Gao Zhen also ordered the mobilization of 1,000 cavalry, ready to go out of the city to pursue the Jin army.

And the Jin army was under the city, braving the blow of the Song army, and still retained 3,000 troops to prevent the Song army from killing out of the city and taking advantage of the situation to pursue. After waiting for the tower carts, bucket trucks, and city trucks to return safely, they retreated one after another. During the entire retreat process, the Jin army seemed to be very orderly, so that the Song army had no chance to take advantage of it. Seeing this, Gao Zhen had no choice but to give up the idea of pursuit, ordered to clean up the corpses in the city, check the losses, treat the wounded, and ordered the engineers to immediately repair the damage to the city wall gate.
