Chapter 964: Withdrawal of Troops

The appearance of Ulnu ascending to the head of Tangchi Fort naturally made both the enemy and our armies see it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, on this battlefield, the Liao-style iron leaf heavy armor he wore was too conspicuous, so the moment he jumped onto the city, he naturally became an important target for the Song army's sword (archer) man.

However, it can be regarded as the luck of this Ulnu, because it was an arrow at the moment of turning, so the crossbow shot by the divine arm bow only hit the heart guard on his back with a side blow, and it was also thanks to the armor-making process of the Liao people that was really good, and the small heart guard that was not enough to be a palm wide saved his life. And when he was hit hard and fell from the city, he fell on top of the corpse pile, and there was no damage to his whole body, but he was hit in the back and shook his internal organs, so he fainted directly.

When Ulnu's personal soldiers saw this, they didn't know how to act at the opportunity, and soon five or six of his personal soldiers rushed forward to drag Ulnu from the pile of corpses, and after covering them with shields, the spiritual personal soldiers quickly took off the general's armor on him, put on the armor of a small soldier, and chose a strong man to carry him on his back and quickly retreat.

However, although the soldiers retreated with Ulnu on their backs, the Jin army besieging the city did not waver at all, and was still screaming and attacking Tangchi Fort, although many of them felt the abnormality of the city and saw the fate of Ulnu, but before the Chinese army sent a retreat signal, no one dared to escape.

There is a way that people's hearts are like iron, and military law is like a furnace. The Jin army's handling of fleeing from the battle has always been only one word of death, so the soldiers also understand that if they die before the battle, their families may still have bereavement pensions, and if they die in military law, they will not get anything, and their families will be humiliated because of this, so naturally no one will be willing to do such a deal.

Not to mention, under the protection of his own soldiers, Ulnu was really extraordinarily lucky, and he actually escaped in the rain of arrows and arrows, and was sent straight to Wanyan Zongpan. Looking at Ulnu, who was carried back and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the heart guard that was brought back by his own soldiers to prove his injury, Wanyan Zongpan couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly turned over and went down to the ground to see, first pinched the middle of the person, behind the ear and the heart with Ulnu, and then slapped him several times, and actually woke up the fainting Ulnu.

"Ullinu, what's going on?" Wanyan Zongpan grabbed Urinu's chest collar and shouted hoarsely: "What happened to the city? Why haven't the sons been able to capture the stone fort yet? ”

Ulnu wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he spit out a mouthful of dirty blood before coughing and saying, "Ahem! Deputy Marshal...... Puruhu, quickly make people Mingjin withdraw his troops...... There is a ...... on the head of the city There is an ambush! ”

After saying "there is an ambush", Ullinu couldn't lift it in one breath, so he fainted again. And this time, no matter how Yan Zongpan pinched people and slapped him, he couldn't wake up, and Wanyan Zongpan could only order someone to send him down for treatment, and asked the soldiers who sent Ulnu back, but none of these soldiers who ran back had never been to the city, so in the end, he still had no clue what ambush was at the head of Tangchi Fort.

Just when Yan Zongpan didn't know what to do, it was still Guo Yaoshi who stepped forward and said: "Deputy Marshal, since Urinu has seen the ambush at the head of the city, it must not be wrong, it is better to withdraw the troops quickly!" ”

After Yan Zongpan heard this, he wanted to scold, but at this time, the Jurchen generals who also saw the problem also stepped forward to help, and someone shouted: "Puluhu, Guo Meng'an is right, I don't know what ambush is in the city, it's better to withdraw first!" ”

There are also humanitarians: "Deputy marshal, this battle is a feint, let's withdraw the troops!" ”

After listening to everyone's persuasion, Wanyan Zongpan was not a person who was rigid and self-serving, and after a little thought, he also knew that the truth was right, so he also waved his hand and shouted: "Mingjin withdraws his troops!" ”

Immediately, the commander of the Chinese army who was responsible for issuing orders in the main formation hung up several large bronze cymbals with a diameter of seven or eight feet in diameter, so that the sledgehammer was quickly beaten, and the forward Daxu battle flag was upright.

It should be mentioned here that drumming and ringing were the commands of ancient military commanders. Drumming is naturally beating a war drum, and Mingjin should be a "ringing cymbal", not a "gong" or some big copper cymbal. The cymbal is a kind of ritual instrument, which is somewhat similar in appearance to the chimes of ancient musical instruments, and is explained in the "Shuowen Jie Zi" as: "The cymbal, like a bell, is connected up and down in the handle".

And the military form of the Jin army is completely copied from the Liao army, and the military system of the Liao army evolved from the nomadic Hu tribe, and it would be good to find a few copper cymbals the size of a person's arm span to knock, so don't expect them to make any "drum horn cymbals".

He also said that the soldiers of the Jin Army, who were attacking frantically in front of Tangchi Fort, were stunned for a few seconds after suddenly hearing the sound of cymbals coming from behind, and then they also turned around and quickly retreated backwards in unison, and even if they retreated, they were not in order, and they watched many shield-wielding foot soldiers spontaneously and consciously gather together and prop up the shield wall to cover the archers who were only wearing light armor.

At this moment, above the head of the city at the north corner, a general in a tooth general's uniform saw that the Jin army began to retreat, and he also shouted to the herald behind him: "Raise the flag and ask for a block!" ”

Then I saw that the herald quickly opened the top cover of the city wall, and raised a long pole of more than three feet, on which hung a series of triangular colored flags of different colors, and immediately saw that a colored flag was also raised on the tower located in the center of Tangchi Fort. ”

In this battle, the Jin army attacked Tangchi Fort from the north, and the target was the northward wall of the upper left and right corners of Tangchi Fort, and Tangchi Fort responded and counterattacked only the two walls to the north (that is, the two sides of the two corners facing upwards), and the two sides of the north corner of the city wall did not make a sound and attacked.

If you don't attack, you will naturally get a military order, in case you will be scared of the Jin army as soon as the battle begins, and you must know that the five corners and ten sides of a Lingbao are all designed as a whole, and each city wall is equipped with sixty-four bed crossbow attack positions and one hundred and eight observation holes and firing ports each, as well as as three hundred and sixty ruyi stick attack ports, between any two city walls, you can form a covering shooting cross fire.

Listening to the order conveyed by the herald, looking at the Jin army who was retreating in formation, although the general in charge of the command in the north corner was so angry that he smashed the wall with his fist, but he also obeyed the order to stand by, and no one sent out even a crossbow arrow, just watching the Jin army help the old and the young...... No, it should be a quick evacuation of the injured and disabled.

The two city walls on the upper left and upper right also continued to fire arrows to chase the retreating Jin army according to the regulations, and when the Jin soldiers ran 400 paces away, they also stopped shooting.
