Pu Atong hurriedly ordered people to rush back to deliver the letter, so that the city could quickly send some fierce oil bombs and fire dragon water cylinders. But it was too late, and after the Song army had completed the fixing and arrangement of the car wall, they immediately launched an attack on the Jin army.

The Song army's bows and arrows shot out of the gaps in the baffle and landed on the Jin army's position. At this time, the pikemen of the Jin army were standing in a row on the edge of the trench in a daze, dazed and at a loss, and they happened to be the live targets of the Song army's attack.

With only a dozen paces away, the archers of the Song army were almost all out of arrows, and after a burst of arrows breaking through the air, the Jin army spearmen standing on the edge of the trench fell almost in rows. And the few Jin soldiers who were lucky enough to dodge the bow and arrow immediately jumped off the earthen wall and hid with their waists bent. And the archers of the Song army immediately aimed their attacks at the rear row and the Jin soldiers on the dirt mountain.

Under this round of sudden blows from the Song army, the Jin army suffered heavy casualties, and more than 1,000 soldiers were killed in one fell swoop. The rest of the soldiers immediately sought cover. So suddenly there was a very rare situation, and there was hardly a single person in sight in the entire line of defense.

In fact, from the erection of the Song army's car wall to the attack on the Jin army's defense line, it was completed in a very short time. At this time, the second convoy of the Song army began to attack, and the rear convoy of the first group of the attack had just arrived at the wall. As soon as he saw that the Jin army was hiding, he immediately set up a wooden ladder, rushed through the wall of the car laid by the Song army, and launched a frontal attack on the Jin army's defense line.

When the Jin army came back to their senses and wanted to block the attack of the Song army, but it was too late, taking advantage of the short gap for the Jin army to hide from the bow and arrows, the Song army erected a wooden ladder on the trench with the warp, rushed through the first trench, and entered the Jin army's defense line outside the city. The soldiers of the Jin army could only raise their swords and guns and started a white-knuckle battle with the Song army.

The whole process of the Song army's attack on the defensive line was clearly seen by the monk Wanyan Chen on the Bianliang city wall, and he never expected that his painstaking construction of the outer defense line would be attacked by the Song army so quickly. At the same time, I also had to admire the tactics used by Yang Yan to break through his own defense.

Strictly speaking, Yang Yan's tactics are not complicated, and many people have used them in history, and the chariot used by the Song army is also very simple, but it is a kind of transformation of the shrimp toad car, and the Jin State can also make it without any effort, but this is such a combination of tactics and tool changes, but it has produced a great effect, and it has broken through the Jin army's outer defense line at once. Even if the Jin army prepared fierce oil bombs and water dragon water cylinders on the defense line outside the city, at most it could only deal a certain blow to the Song army's car wall and delay the Song army's breakthrough time, but it could not completely stop the Song army's attack.

Although it is said that the Jin army's defense line outside the city has not collapsed, as soon as it enters the stage of hand-to-hand combat, the Jin army will have no advantage at all, and the fortifications will basically be scrapped, while the Song army has the advantage of being outnumbered, so it is only a matter of time before it is only a matter of time before it wins.

The archers of the Song army hiding behind the wall of the car could no longer attack the Jin army at this time, and the bows and arrows of the Jin army were almost completely ineffective, and even the Jin army in Tushan was stunned, and forgot for a while that they should continue to attack the follow-up troops of the Song army.

Fortunately, Pu Atong was still able to keep a clear head at this time, and while he commanded the Jin soldiers to resist the attack of the Song army, he ordered the archers, bed crossbows, and trebuchets to immediately retreat behind the second trench, and the Jin army archers, bed crossbows, and trebuchets stationed behind the second trench immediately launched a long-range attack on the follow-up troops of the Song army.

It should be said that Pu Atong still has a fairly strong command ability in battle, and after a short period of adjustment by him, the Jin army finally recovered from the panic and began to put up an orderly resistance. The Song and Jin armies fought fiercely in the narrow strip of the first trench and the second trench, while the long-range weapons retreated to the second line and resumed the attack.

It was only during this period of panic that the Jin army was in a panic, and the second group of attack troops of the Song army had carried out most of the journey, and the bed crossbows and trebuchets basically lost their striking effect. Although bows and arrows can still attack, they are not very lethal. Therefore, the second group of attacking troops of the Song army soon entered the combat position, and the 5,000 infantry army immediately joined the battlefield along the wooden ladders built by the previous group of Song troops. This time, the cart was filled with bags of gravel and dirt, and the soldiers on the cart took the bags from the cart and rushed to the side of the trench to fill the trench.

At this time, on the battlefield, the Song and Jin sides fought fiercely in order to compete for positions, and the soldiers on both sides showed great courage and tenacity, not giving in at all, waving the weapons in their hands, desperately attacking the enemy. Every step of the position, every small dirt mountain, is very fierce, often through the two armies back and forth, desperately fighting and changing hands several times.

At the same time, the current battlefield is a narrow strip of land between the first trench and the second trench that is not confined to the Jin army's defense line, and after it is the second group of Song army's attacking troops to join the battlefield, the Song army's combat effectiveness has greatly increased, and many Song troops have begun to attack the second trench of the Jin army, and some have even killed the second trench and entered the second line of defense of the Jin army. And there were also Jin troops who fought hard, and beat the Song army back through the first trench and approached the car wall. However, the spears spent on the car wall were not only used to deal with the enemy, but also to block the Song army's way of retreat, so the Song army's retreat was limited to the side of the car wall, and would never take a step back.

The fierce battle also caused the casualties of both armies to increase dramatically, and the battle did not last a long time, at most half an hour, and a large number of corpses were piled up on the battlefield, and blood almost covered the entire ground. The Song army and the Jin army are almost indistinguishable. Even in the trenches, many places were filled with corpses. At this time, the soldiers on both sides were almost stepping on the corpses of their comrades or enemies, wading through the blood in a desperate battle. until his own blood is shed and he falls down forever.

Although Zhao Chen stood in the distance and watched the battle, he couldn't see the details of the battlefield clearly, but he could still see the general situation clearly, seeing more and more soldiers falling, and he couldn't tell whether it was the Song soldiers or the Jin army, but he saw that the earthy yellow earth gradually turned russet. Although Zhao Chen had been to the battlefield several times, he had never seen such a fierce battle, and he couldn't help but turn pale, and he almost didn't dare to look at it anymore.

In fact, not only him, but also Han Yanzhi and Wang Yan were no better, even Li Xianzhong, who had experienced a hundred battles, couldn't help but turn his head from time to time and didn't look at the battlefield. Among the people, only Zhao Yueru was able to maintain normalcy. At this time, the temporary position set up behind the hill where they were located was full of wounded soldiers, and almost all the female soldiers of the Shocking Yan Army went to help treat the wounded.

Zhao Yueru saw Zhao Chen's uncomfortable look, knowing that he couldn't stand the tragic situation on the battlefield, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to the back to rest for a while?" ”

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "The soldiers in front are all fighting for the Great Song Dynasty, how can I retreat at this time?" Still ......" as he spoke, he suddenly covered his chest, bent down and retched a few times.

Zhao Yueru knew that it was best to divert Zhao Chen's attention at this time, otherwise he was afraid that he would really spit it out, so he suddenly thought of a way and said to Zhao Chen: "Your Majesty, I don't think it's as good as this......"

As soon as the battle began, it immediately entered a very intense state, which was also a little unexpected for Yang Yan.

However, although the resistance of the Jin army was surprisingly stubborn, the Song army, which had penetrated the Jin army's defense line, had no reason to give up. Although the losses of the Song army are not small, but the two sides are engaged in a hand-to-hand white-knuckle battle, and the Jin army will not be any better, the big deal is that the two sides are fighting for attrition, which the Song army does not suffer.

Therefore, Yang Yan immediately ordered to mobilize another 10,000 Song troops and immediately reinforce them to see how far the Jin army could fight.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to Yang Yan's side and said, "Yang Fushuai, the emperor is here." ”

Yang Yan looked back, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Chen and the others, accompanied by Zhao Yueru, came to the front of the battle. However, Zhao Chen's complexion was not very good, and he was a little pale. Yang Yan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't stay on the dirt mountain, why did you come here." ”

Zhao Chen didn't answer directly, and said, "Yang Qing, I see that you are transferring troops, is it because you want to increase your troops to attack?" ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Yes!" Your Majesty, now on the battlefield is the moment when the war has entered Guanjian, so our army can only advance now and cannot retreat, and must defeat the Jin army in one go, occupy the Jin army's position outside the city, and the next step can be to directly attack Bianliang City. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks? ”

Zhao Chen also nodded, and said with a smile: "I just asked, I said before that the affairs of the battlefield are all decided by the Qing, but I want to personally beat the drum and cheer for my Great Song soldiers." ”

Yang Yan listened to it and thought it was good. Because now the Jin army has no power to fight back, so Zhao Chen is not in much danger in front of the battle. Moreover, he personally beat the drum, which was also a great encouragement to the morale of the Song army, because in such a fierce battle, the morale of the soldiers was often the Guan Jian who decided the victory. So he immediately ordered someone to bring over a cowhide drum and handed over a pair of drum hammers to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen took the drum hammer and beat it hard. When the other drummers saw that the emperor had joined the drums, they were all very energetic, and they also beat louder than usual.

And Yang Yan took the opportunity to say to the 10,000 Song troops who were about to fight: "Sons, you have all seen that the emperor is personally cheering for you, I won't say much nonsense, so let's see your performance." ”

Listening to the sound of drums like thunder, the Song soldiers were enthusiastic one by one, shouted "Long live" to Zhao Chen in unison, and then turned around and rushed to the battlefield.
