Chapter 51 The Battle of Tongguan (19)

Ladders burst and spread out in the fireworks, and together with the soldiers on the ladder, they fell to the ground with a bang. More ladders were raised and vertically towards the city.

Although these ladders are simple in workmanship and are even tied up with wooden sections, teams of Jin soldiers flocked up along the simple ladder as long as they reached the top of the city.

The knife cuts the axe and slashes, and the arrows fall like rain.

Under the pressure of the Song army at the city, teams of Jin soldiers either attacked fiercely or searched for the gap between the city defenses and climbed up. However, unlike last time, after breaking the first line of defense of the Song army at the city, after the regular imperial guards and the wing army, there were also civil soldiers holding long spears and iron spears. They were not arranged to the front line to resist the Jin soldiers who climbed the city, but stood behind the imperial guards, and dozens of people were under the command of an imperial guard. As soon as they saw Jin soldiers breaking through the upper city, there were a few or dozens of people raising spears together. Even though the Jin soldiers were extremely brave, there were many civil soldiers on the front line and did not contact the Jin soldiers on the front line. They used long soldiers such as long spears and iron spears. With a command, hundreds of iron spears were poked over. The Jin soldiers who were scattered in the city were picked up again without any reaction.

As a result, the Jin soldiers struggled more and more. There was no equipment for climbing the city. They could not completely suppress the crossbowmen at the top of the city. They had to face the imperial guards wearing heavy iron armor after the rain of arrows. After passing this level, they had to face the spearheads that looked like a forest. After several contacts, there were already mountains of corpses and blood on the top of the city, with heavy casualties.

This was the case at the city wall. Wanyan Sali's face turned pale and ordered one after another, saying, "Don't pause or retreat. If the soldiers retreat, they will be killed. If the soldiers retreat, they will be killed. If the soldiers retreat, they will be killed. If the soldiers retreat, they will be killed. If the soldiers retreat, they will be killed!"

This time he went to war, he was the oldest Wanhu, and Zong Bi ordered the generals to obey his temper. If he failed, he would have the greatest responsibility, and he would have the greatest determination. Even if he could wipe out all the soldiers of San Meng'an under him, he would not order to take a step back.

The war was rolling and the war drums were like thunder. Under the strict order of Wanyan Salibu, nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command kept rushing to the generals and rushed straight to the city, not daring to hesitate or retreat.

Such a strong attack was greatly damaged. The officers in front of them felt sorry for the loss of their subordinates' land, so they rode their horses to Wanyan Salibu. They asked and said, "Master Wanhu, leave some people for us. If you continue to attack like this, I am afraid that even if you conquer Chang'an, there will be no more than a few of your confidants left."

Although they were crying, Wanyan Salibu was unmoved and had a blue face. He angrily shouted: "It is the business of all the Jurchens to conquer Chang'an. So what if my son dies, the world is ours!"

"I'm afraid others don't think so!"

Meng'an Zhelu, the oldest man under his command, angrily said: "Look, except for our Jurchens, who are still fighting hard, how did Han Chang's troops fight? They are slow and lazy and unwilling to work hard. We have several opportunities. They are all because they are unwilling to attack hard, and at the top of the city attacked by the Han army. The Song people have the least pressure and have drawn a lot of troops to other areas. Han Chang is a Han general. In my opinion, he is completely in his heart towards the Emperor of Song and refuses to really work."

Wanyan Salibu knew in his heart that in fact, except for his troops who have been attacking hard and suffered the greatest damage, only Wanyan Huo Nu's daughter was the same. The other Saba and others did not work so hard, but were trying to minimize the losses of their troops, so only he and Wanyan Huo Nu's daughter suffered the greatest losses.

But they were also thousands of Jurchen households, and the generals under their command were also sloppy and were unwilling to criticize them directly. Han Chang was a Han army. Although he was actually quite hard, he was still criticized by the Jurchen generals and refused to take it seriously.

He thought for a moment and knew that he had no choice but to deal with the Jurchens, so he stopped the generals' words first, and summoned the officers to order him and ordered him: "You go and inform Han Chang and ask him to work harder. If you are still lazy, I will definitely report to Marshal Du and punish him heavily in the future!"

After saying that, he felt a sigh of relief and ordered his generals to go to the front to supervise the battle, and he must enter Chang'an in this battle.

Han Chang's Han Chang's Han army was only more than 6,000, the fewest among all the troops. Since the crossing of Longkou, he was the vanguard and the rear of the palace. In the past two days, he was preparing to climb the city and do the most miscellaneous work. When he was under Wanyan Zongbi's tent, the Han army had been following the Jurchens for a long time, and even many generals were wearing Jurchen robes and spoke fluent Jurchen words, and they were extremely combat-effective. Moreover, there were many civil and military signing troops captured in the army, so there was no need for elite cavalry troops like him to do these hard work. In this way, he was extremely resentful and was extremely dissatisfied with the Jurchen families such as Wanyan Salibu. Yesterday, when he had his actions to show off his power, he really wanted to exhale his chest.

When the decisive battle is today, he has the smallest number of people under his command, but the area responsible is very large. And it is near the Song army's city tower. Such crossbows, catapults, crossbows, turret bombs, ten thousand enemies, and rolling stones all greet his subordinates. They suffered heavy damage and suffered huge losses. When the war was unfavorable, when the troops retreated to rest, he checked his troops and lost more than a thousand people, and the most and most miserable among the troops. He was in a hurry, but the soldiers under his command were drawn out to make ladders. Even the troops in each unit were insufficient, so his soldiers were allowed to serve as soldiers. He went to find the Jurchens' ten thousand households, but he couldn't resist the number of people on the other side and did not turn against him. He just laughed and didn't take him seriously, which made him feel very tight.

Only in this way, his personality is stronger when he encounters setbacks. Although he is more pressured when siege in the afternoon and the enemy's methods are more vicious, he ordered his subordinates to attack to the death. In terms of losses, it is actually more than Wanyan Salibu.

When Wanyan Salibu's messenger arrived, Han Chang was too close to the city, a quilt with tinea oil drifted straight on his head, and it was shining thick smoke for a moment. Although the fire was not big, it was quickly put out by his personal soldiers. Han Chang's hair and beard were burned a lot, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

The Jurchen officer did not take him seriously. Seeing this Wanhu looked like this, he smiled and did not hide it. When Han Chang came to his senses, he knew that the other party understood the Jurchens, but he still explained Wanyan Salibu's words word by word in half-baked Chinese.

Seeing that Han Chang was so naughty that he didn't say anything, the officer didn't care. He just smiled and bowed. While carefully avoiding the arrows shot from the city, he hurriedly rode backwards.

Before Han Chang could speak, his personal soldiers were angry and said angrily: "Master, this Jurchen dog is really not a thing. He deliberately sent an order like this to intentionally humiliate you. If the Master just said a little, we will drag him off the horse and whip it hard before talking!"

Han Chang just said nothing, first retreated. After he felt safe for a while, he said with a gloomy face: "He didn't mean to insult me, he probably realized the meaning of Wanyan Salibu, so he deliberately acted like this."

When he said this, he was unwilling to reveal his thoughts. As a family of generals of the Yan army, he has been generals for generations since his ancestors. His father also served as generals of the Liao Kingdom and ten thousand households of the Jin Kingdom. Although he worked hard for the alien race, he was glorious and proud. He had never suffered such a cowardly aura. As the main general, if he told him about his losses, he would be greatly damaged in his reputation and general majesty.

Wanyan Salibu fought to the death while not taking into account the losses, and sent people to accuse him of being unfavorable in the fight. In this way, no matter whether Chang'an can be broken or not, he could explain to several Marshals of Du, and the lower part could not offend the rest of the Jurchens. If he really failed in this battle, it would be the word "all the Jurchens" and all the blame would be placed on him, the Han army.

He understood the other party's plan in his heart. Although he was extremely angry, he had no choice at this time. The Marshals themselves also had conflicts. Wanyan Salibu and Wanyan Yinshu were both confidants of Wanyan Zonghan. They followed Zonghan to fight many times and were not convinced by Zongbi. They were actually Zongbi's confidants, and there were only Wanyan Huo Nu and himself in front of him. Thinking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. Although Wanyan Huo Nu was the son of Wanyan Loushi, he was completely inferior to Nai's father's wisdom. Although he fought hard at this time, he had no rules and had no feelings about the strangeness in the army. Instead, he was often instigated by Wanyan Salibu and others to be unable to get along with him. He was really stupid.

I originally wanted to be perfunctory with these Jurchens for the time being, and then talk about anything else when I meet Zong Bi in the future. Unexpectedly, the other party acted like this and had not finished the battle, so I was scheming myself first.

Han Chang sneered, and as he watched several Jurchen soldiers climbing to the top of the city, there was a lot of cheers below, and several spears pierced over and pulled the Jurchens down to the city. After a few muffled sounds, the three armies were frustrated.

He made up his mind and knew that this way of fighting would be the only way to fight even if he came down to the city. Since the other party had already blamed himself for not being able to attack the city, it would be better to preserve his strength and still have the capital to speak in the future. If he still attacked without regard for the casualties and injuries at this time, he would be stupid.

Decided to make up, he quietly ordered his troops not to attack the city too quickly. The first wave of troops under the city was too serious and they could retreat to rest first.

After the military orders came, they changed their appearance in front of them. Not only did the troops with too many wounded soldiers retreat, but the rest of the siege were also hesitant and stopped immediately. They just mechanically blocked the rain of arrows on the city and avoided the fireworks. Seeing that many soldiers were retreating, and even those who were not injured began to move quietly and retreat.

"The time is here!"

Yu Yunwen at the top of the city naturally did not know these intrigues and conspiracies of the other senior generals. However, he had a keen sense of smell and had already discovered that after the city was changed, the enemy began to unable to withstand the pressure. Not only could he not climb the city in large numbers, but there were small groups of enemies who could not suppress the situation and began to show signs of retreating.

The enemy's morale is unstable and he will not leave at this time, but he will wait for when.
