When the order for a thousand flying horsemen to attack was issued for about half an hour, Cheng Yanjin spoke: "Qiu Qianshi, you take people to take the lead." If Lao Cheng didn't take care of Shubao's subordinates, the war drums sounded, the city gate must be taken, and then the city gate must be held for a quarter of an hour, at least let Ben General 2,000 soldiers and horses enter the city. ”

"Order!" Qiu Qianshi got up and walked out.

Cheng Yanjin walked to his big case, reached out and slapped the table hard, and then grabbed the token on the table.

"Left side......

Cheng Biting Jin began to issue orders one by one, Cheng Biting Jin is a good general, and the level of his positional warfare is far above Hou Junji, attacking a city, Cheng Biting Jin's idea is to capture all the key positions in half an hour, and take this fortress in one hour.

The night was getting deeper.

Seeing the third watch, Qiu Qianshi took twenty people and quickly approached the fortress.

At about fifty paces, everyone crawled on the ground and slowly moved forward.

The fortresses are all strong cities with thick walls, and the gates are made of thickened wooden planks and iron, which can be said to be very strong. In addition to the city gates, there is also a moat of living water.

To deal with the moat, the common way is to block it. If it is living water, it is necessary to dig a river channel in the upstream area, and then block it and fill it in.

It's early spring, it's a plateau again, and there's a layer of ice on the moat.

There is no problem with a single person to climb through, but a large force attack this ice will definitely break. Moreover, the defending army would pour oil into the moat and set it on fire.

Qiu Qianshi took twenty people to cross the river from the ice, and then put ten catties of gunpowder bags on each person's back, ten of which were placed under the city gate, and the rest were hung on the city gate.

After everything was ready, Qiu Qianshi shook two torches in front of the city gate.

Upstream of the moat, 500 people ran frantically in front of the moat with carts and sacks full of dirt. In front of the city gate, Qiu Qianshi placed a gunpowder bag on the iron chain of the drawbridge, and then stuffed several gunpowder bottles in bamboo tubes into the cracks of the iron chains.

At that time, Qiu Qianshi did not ignite the fire.

Until the soldiers at the head of the city found that someone was preparing to block the moat at night, after the alarm sounded, Qiu Qianshi ordered to light a fire, and then everyone ran out of the city gate hole and hid thirty steps away on both sides of the city wall, and everyone was lying on the ground tightly.

There was a continuous loud bang, and the defenders of the fortress were stunned.

Don't say it's the city gate, the entire city gate building has collapsed in half, and the city wall has also been blown open with several cracks.

The finger-thick chain was broken, and the drawbridge slammed into the piers.

Qiu Qianshi's 1,000 elites began to rush to the suspension bridge.

When the defenders saw that the enemy was coming, they quickly organized men to flood the city gates.

Qiu Qianshi got up at this time, grabbed a clay pot in his hand, lit it on the torch under his hand, and threw it into the bombed-out city gate hole.

After a loud bang, there were screams in the city gate.

Qiu Qianshi gestured and motioned to his subordinates to light the clay pots they were carrying and throw them in.

Only ten clay pots were thrown, the elite had already rushed across the suspension bridge, the heavy shield went forward, and dozens of steel crossbows shot at the city gate hole, the heavy shield separated, and a team of Mo knife soldiers wielded their knives and killed them into the city gate hole.

"Go up to the wall." Qiu Qianshi gave an order, and the rest of the people lit the clay pot and threw it at the city wall, and then the siege soldiers carrying long ladders began to rush to the city wall with their shields.

The main battalion, the drums of war beat, the army began to press.

Street fighting, this is a battle of fighting for the quality of soldiers, Cheng Yanjin took the lead, held a horse lance to kill into the fortress, and went straight to the enemy's Chinese army camp.

The clay pot fire thunder has become the main force of Cheng Biting Jin's road-opening artifact, throwing it all the way, rushing all the way, and then cooperating with steel crossbows, strong bows, and heavy shields. In half an hour, the main camp of the Chinese army in the fortress was killed, and the enemy defender of the city would be trapped in the big house, and he was ready to carry it with five hundred personal soldiers.

Cheng Biting Jin pulled the horse forward.

The enemy will be less than a hundred paces away from him.

"General, I'll lead someone to attack!"

Cheng Biting Jin laughed, and then stretched out his hand: "Give that thing to Ben and bring one over." ”

This time it's not a clay pot, it's a refined steel cylinder.

Cheng Yanjin's personal guard didn't hand over the steel cylinder, but just asked, "General, do you want to use one?" ”

"Throw it over."

The guard took out the bamboo tube in the steel cylinder, lit it, put it on a large slingshot with a slide, and flew over a hundred paces away.

After a loud bang, sparks splashed everywhere.

The enemy army uses water to extinguish the fire, and the fire becomes more fierce after the water is splashed, and anyone who sticks to the fire will be burned by the fire, and it cannot be extinguished.

"Surrender, or war!" Cheng Yanjin's own soldiers shouted, and then hundreds of slingshots were carried out.

The guard over there turned pale, and helplessly knelt on one knee and raised his saber high.

"Hahaha!" Cheng Yanjin laughed, strode forward and reached out to grab the knife, and then walked straight into the leather chair of the Chinese army and sat down on the horse golden knife: "Pass on the general's order, and those who descend will not die." ”

When the day dawned, the fires in the city were extinguished, and the battalions were still busy with their duties.

Several of Cheng Yanjin's personal soldiers were being questioned by Sima in the army.

"What do you think of the effect of the new Bone Eater Fire, and what ideas do you have that need to be improved?"

That one was a new incendiary bomb that combined the Greek fire of the Eastern Roman Empire with the white phosphorus fire of willow wood. In the army, Sima needed to understand the effect of each new ghost fire used in the test, as well as the user's suggestions, and then record it for the record and send it to Chang'an.

After several pro-soldiers finished speaking, they proposed: "We think that the clay pot should be changed, and the made ones are too round and will be slippery." ”

In the army, Sima only hesitated for a moment, and then changed a new piece of paper and began to record, although these things were not requested, but those who wanted to come to the armory workshop might be interested in seeing them.

After all, ordnance is for soldiers, and soldiers must listen to their suggestions for improvement.

Almost all the soldiers in the entire Jishi Mountain Fortress have not rested, and the soldiers who did not participate in the attack last night have begun to take over the city defense.

"General, the information given by Wenyue Pavilion is that there are about 60,000 enemy troops in Jishi Mountain Fortress, but the information we got from the interrogation here is that there are only 38,000 people. The barracks and the stoves have been checked, and this should be the number. ”

Cheng Yanjin didn't speak, and the adjutant general motioned to the marching staff officer to continue.

"Last night we attacked the city and killed three thousand five hundred men. There were about 5,000 prisoners of war and about 2,000 wounded enemy soldiers. According to the interrogation of the captured enemy generals, it was learned that 20,000 people went to the rescue of Doma City. ”

Hearing this mileage, he spoke: "This number is not right, let's talk about the people who stay, then there are thousands of people missing." For Ben to turn over the fortress and find it, send someone to explore around. The enemy generals who did not give their mouths were given heavy punishments to the generals, and the generals knew that the people had gone. ”
