Chapter 733: Fierce Battle at the Head of the City

Dozens of siege ladders firmly hooked the city head, the siege ladder was full of strings of strong golden soldiers, they held copper shields, held short spears and the Song army on the head of the city fierce battle, constantly there were gold soldiers were picked out and flew out, screaming and falling down the city wall, falling to death on the spot.

But a Jin soldier was killed, and the Jin soldier behind him immediately made up for it, using a copper shield to resist the spear stabbed by the Song soldier, and stabbed the Song soldier at the head of the city through the gap......

On both sides of the battlements, there are throwers who continue to throw iron fire and thunder under the city, and there are bursts of explosions under the city, although some soldiers were killed, but the Jin soldiers have found a way to deal with the firearms of the Song army, when the iron fire and thunder are thrown, they immediately squat, and firmly cover themselves with copper shields, and the iron pieces and iron nails crackle on the copper shield, but they do not hurt the soldiers behind the shield.

But there were also iron fire mines that exploded under the siege ladder, blowing up the ladder from the root, and the soldiers of the ladder fell one after another, suffering heavy casualties.

The fierce battle was fought from morning to noon, the siege war had entered the most cruel stage, the arrows on the city were like dense rain, there were soldiers who were constantly falling down by arrows, a siege ladder set up the city wall, the soldiers of the Jin country were like crazy, climbing upward, they held a shield in one hand, and the Song army fought fiercely with spears and knives in the other, and the rolling wood and stones above their heads fell like hail, there were always a few soldiers screaming and falling down the ladder, but immediately someone swarmed up.

Although the Song army also suffered heavy casualties, they still held firm control of the city.

The Jin soldiers dispatched twenty nest cars, most of which were smashed or blown up halfway, but there were still two nest cars that rushed under the city wall. ”

He personally led 300 soldiers to run in the direction of a nest car, at this time, a nest car was less than a zhang away from the city wall, and at the top of the nest car was a thick wooden board wrapped in iron sheets, one zhang long and five feet wide.

Behind the shield was a four-foot-wide platform, and there stood seven or eight fierce Jin soldiers, dressed in iron armor, holding copper shields and spears, with faces as hideous as wild beasts, and under the stairs behind them were also full of gold soldiers.

Dozens of Song army crossbowmen who had been waiting at the head of the city at the same time released arrows into the nest car, and the powerful arrows shot into the nest car, but the golden soldiers in the nest car withstood the attack of the arrows with copper shields, and they ran across the overpass and rushed to the city, and the main battle soldiers at the head of the city roared and rushed forward, and several enemy soldiers who rushed to the head of the city fought fiercely, and the enemy troops in the nest car also rushed up continuously.

"Thunder with iron fire!"

The Song army at the head of the city roared, and the three throwing soldiers immediately rushed forward, throwing three ignited iron fire thunders far into the nest car, the power of the iron fire thunder is far from being compared with the earth-shaking thunder, the shock wave it produces is not large, and it cannot blow up the large siege equipment, its killing method is mainly by a large number of quenched iron nails and iron pieces that burst out after the explosion into the enemy's body, so when the three iron fire mines exploded in the nest car, there was silence for a moment, but there was a steady stream of new enemy troops rushing up the stairs.

Due to the rush up of dozens of Jin soldiers in a very short period of time, seven or eight Jin soldiers closely guarded the overpass, not allowing the Song army to approach, while the other Jin soldiers jumped on the city, and the Song soldiers fought fiercely, spears sprinted, slashed with knives, fought bloody, a Song soldier in front of the battlement was cut in the forehead, blood gushed like an infusion, fell on his back, another Song soldier waved a spear and rushed up, the spear pierced the enemy's chest.

At this time, a commander killed the head of the city, his name is Ge Erhan, is a famous warrior in the Bohai tribe, he wielded an iron spear to kill the head of the Song army, the head of the Song army is fighting fiercely with two Jin soldiers, Goerhan's sudden killing caught him off guard, an iron spear pierced from his left chest, from the vest throughout, the head of the Song army screamed, died on the spot, Ge Erhan laughed wildly, his arms were forced, and the corpse weighing one hundred and sixty or seventy pounds was picked up and left behind the city.

The Jin soldiers were so excited that they screamed, their morale was greatly boosted, and they frantically killed the Song soldiers around, and the leader was killed, so that more than 100 Song soldiers fell into chaos, and the Jin soldiers seized the opportunity, in a short period of time, more than 80 Jin soldiers rushed to the city, and the city was suddenly in danger, and the Jin soldiers had signs of breakthrough.

At this critical moment, Liu Jian led three hundred soldiers to kill and stabilize the situation that was about to collapse.

Liu Qian's eyes are like torches, the passage to the upper city has been controlled by the golden soldiers, and the golden soldiers under the city continue to pour into the city through the passage in the nest car, if the nest car is not destroyed in time, the golden soldiers are likely to break through here.

"Liu Xin!"

Liu Jian shouted, and an extremely burly young man ran up behind him, this person was Liu Kuang's brother, only seventeen years old, but he was infinitely powerful, and his arms had the strength of a thousand catties, and Liu Kuang had always taken him with him.

"See the general!"

Liu Jian pointed to the nest lane in the distance: "Fifty steps away, you might throw the sky-shaking thunder into the nest car?" ”

"Hey, hey! Throwing two is not a problem. ”

The two soldiers brought two earth-shaking thunders, Liu Xin took one and patted it, "Light a fire for me!" ”

A soldier blew a fire fold and lit the fuse, Liu Xin walked quickly to the city wall, squinted at the nest car fifty paces away, he had been rigorously trained to throw a log into a well five or six paces away.

At this time, the fuse had already ignited into the iron shell, and he roared loudly, and threw the sky-shaking thunder towards the nest car, which pulled out a parabola in the air and fell into the nest car accurately, and the nest car exploded violently.

With the deafening explosion, the three-foot-seven-foot-tall nest car was blown to pieces, and the broken corpses, broken wood and thick smoke rose into the air, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

Jin Bing's passage to the upper city was destroyed, and Liu Jian was extremely excited, and yelled, "Kill-"

Thousands of Song troops swarmed up and surrounded more than a hundred Jin Corps, and Ge Erhan also knew that it would be difficult to go back today, so he shouted loudly: "Kill all the Song barbarians!" ”

More than 100 Bohai Jin soldiers were even more crazy, trapped beasts were still fighting, at this time, Li Yanqing also came from the east city wall, on the east side of the city wall, another nest car that also killed the head of the city was burning with raging fire, this nest car was a little less lucky, the overpass chain was stuck, it was not put down in time, it was poured with a large amount of fire oil by the Song army and ignited, and more than 30 soldiers who were hidden in the nest car in advance were all burned to death.

The head of the city was jammed by a large number of soldiers, Li Yanqing could not pass, he simply jumped on the pier of a trebuchet, looked at the fierce battle at the head of the city from a high place, only to see more than a thousand Song troops surrounded by a hundred Jin Corps, the nest car behind him had been completely blown up, the Jin soldiers had no way to retreat, either jump from the city, or fight to the death, and the Song army would not accept their surrender.

Li Yanqing saw Liu Jian again, he was on the other side, about 300 steps away from him, and it was not easy to squeeze over, Li Yanqing temporarily put aside the plan to listen to Liu Kuan's report, at this moment, he actually found that there was an extremely strong commander in the Jin soldiers, the commander of the thousand commanders in the words of the Jin people is Mouke, and the commander of the thousand men is called Meng'an, in fact, he is also the leader of the tribe, a large tribe, can gather 10,000 young soldiers, and the leader of the tribe is called Meng'an, who is in charge of the military and political power of the tribe.

Meng'an Mouke is all family hereditary, and the force value does not have much to do with it, and although this commander is only a middle-level general, but the martial arts are very strong, the Song soldiers who died in his hands have reached dozens of people, so that a spear is extremely brave, and extremely cunning, he hides behind ordinary Jin soldiers, when there is a loophole in the Song army's cooperation, he will suddenly appear, assassinate more than a dozen people in a row, and then quickly retreat back, like a wolf, waiting for the next opportunity to shoot.

Li Yanqing was very annoyed, he took his wind-chasing bow from his own soldiers, drew a wolf's tooth arrow, pulled the bow suddenly, and shot an arrow at the thousand-captain who was a hundred paces away, this arrow was so fast and ruthless that Ge Erhan was caught off guard, the arrow entered his left temple, and from the right side, it actually shot through his head.

Gorhan grew his mouth, his eyes bulging out, and after a while, he collapsed forward.

The death of the commander made the rest of the Jin soldiers panic, and the formation was in chaos, and the Song army slaughtered more than 100 Jin soldiers at the head of the city.

At this moment, the bell of the army in the distance rang 'Dang! While! While! The sound rang, and the fierce battle lasted for nearly four hours, and both sides were exhausted, and Wanyanzong saw that there was no hope of attacking the city, so he had to order the withdrawal of the army, and tens of thousands of Jin soldiers retreated like a sea tide.

In this battle, the casualties of the Jin soldiers exceeded 8,000, and the casualties of the Song army also amounted to more than 2,700 people, the corpses of the soldiers killed on the battlefield can be seen everywhere, the siege ladder and the nest car are broken, and several burned nest cars are still burning, and there is a tragic situation after the war everywhere.
