Water Margin people

"Still want to run? The entire mansion is surrounded!"

Seeing that Wanyan Zhong still wanted to run away, Shi Jin sneered and stabbed two more Jurchen soldiers to death.

"kill!"

After hearing what Shi Jin said, Wan Yanzhong gritted his teeth and swung his gun directly at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin laughed and fought with Wan Yanzhong.

Shi Qian saw the chaos in the Duke of Yan's mansion and jumped off the roof with a smile. However, his target was not Wan Yanzhong or the dead soldiers, but Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen, Cao Yongyi, Liu Yanzong, and Xiao Yixin. et al.

"Do you still want to resist?"

Shi Qian held a dagger and looked at several people with a smile.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Zuo Qigong stuttered and looked at Shi Qian, his face full of fear.

"My brother is not kind to you. He didn't raid your home or make things difficult for you. He still lets you live in such a big house, but you guys are thinking of rebelling. What do you think I want to do?"

Shi Qian looked at several people. All of them had gray hair, the youngest was over fifty, and they were all rotten civil servants. They couldn't carry it on their shoulders or lift it with their hands. They were truly powerless!
"Brother Shi Qian, I've solved it here!"

Shi Jin's voice sounded, and Wan Yanzhong had been beaten to the ground by him. Although Wan Yanzhong had martial arts skills, he was not Shi Jin's opponent.

"solved!"

Shi Qian smiled and clapped his hands. Zuo Qigong and others were already tied up tightly.

The fighting in the yard is coming to an end. The best use of the dead soldiers is to assassinate secretly. Now they are all exposed in the yard. In a head-on conflict, they are no match for the regular army, and they will be killed quickly.

"go!"

Li Kui held two axes still dripping with blood and looked at the broken limbs and arms in the courtyard, and said.

Bao Xu, Li Gun, and Xiang Chong immediately gathered together. The trapped camp was the main battle camp. A battle in the outer city was about to break out. They had to rush somewhere.

There was a touch of fish belly white in the eastern sky.

"kill!"

Outside Xijin Mansion, the already prepared army roared in unison.

"The first to reach the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

Wan Yanchang shouted to the army.

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. When the resentful army heard about the serious injury of the daughter, they were all excited.

"kill!"

Following Wan Yanchang's order, a hundred thousand resentful troops rushed up to Xijin Mansion carrying ladders and shouting.

Not long ago, Wanyanchang received a letter from Wanyan Yinshuke. Wanyan Yinshuke had no way to break through Juyong Pass, and there was no way to transport siege equipment.

If you don't have equipment, you can only rely on force. Wan Yanchang doesn't like this kind of siege technique. The Jurchens always attack the city first with equipment, and then attack the city wall after the enemy loses the power to resist.

So Wanyanchang gathered all his troops to the north of Xijin Mansion, and he wanted to gather all his troops to attack one point.

"Are you coming!"

Lu Zhishen, who was on the city wall, looked at the surging enemies below the city and snorted coldly.

"Cannon! Fire!"

Lu Zhishen roared, and on the city wall, the artillery spit out tongues of fire. Rows of projectiles hit the enemy, and the shells smashed into the enemy's formation.

But this time the artillery did not achieve much effect. With 10 people charging, the power of the artillery was too small, and the damage and deterrence caused were overwhelmed by the momentum of the charge.

"Brother Hua Rong, are you going to compete again today?"

Pang Wanchun looked at Hua Rong with a smile and said, he often competed with Hua Rong in archery. Although he won less and lost more, he never tired of it.

"Okay, but the competition between the two of us is too monotonous. Why not compete as a legion today?"

Hua Rong smiled and nodded, but there were too many enemies today, and it would be too boring for the two of them to compete. "Okay, I'm in charge here!"

Pang Wanchun burst into laughter. He had no reason to refuse this kind of competition.

The resentful soldiers who rushed to the city of Xijin raised their shields and roared as they set up the ladders. Some of them already held their shields and daggers and began to climb the ladders to climb the city.

"shoot!"

Pang Wanchun shouted, and the soldiers around him fired in unison. Their target was not the soldiers holding shields under the city, but the soldiers waiting to be replaced in the rear.

Pang Wanchun and Hua Rong led their archers to shoot at the same time, cutting off the enemy's formation in an instant. The first and subsequent troops only saw a gap of twenty or thirty steps.

"Smash!"

Sun An gave an order, and the soldiers threw stones and logs, as well as scalding hot water and oil at the bottom of the city.

Screams rang out under the walls of Xijin Mansion, and the high momentum of the soldiers who ascended first was almost wiped out.

"Blow the drums and let the follow-up army fill in!"

Wan Yanchang roared, and the follow-up army was out of touch with Xiandeng and could not make up for it in time, causing the siege rhythm to be disrupted.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of war drums sounded, urging the siege army to continue the attack.

"Capital, the enemy has been prepared for a long time. If we rely on people like this, we might not be able to attack. We still have to wait inside the city!"

Wanyan Loushi opened his mouth and said that although the morale of their army was high when they attacked the city, the enemies on the city were in good order. If they continued to attack like this, it would be impossible to break the city.

"I just regret that those trebuchets were not delivered, otherwise they would have smashed the city wall."

Wanyan Zonghan said angrily, their Jurchen trebuchet can throw up to [-] kilograms of boulders. If that kind of equipment is available, it will not be easy to break the Jijin Mansion.

"It won't help to say this now. Pay attention and be sure to find the enemy's flaws!"

Wan Yanchang spoke to everyone in a low voice. He knew very well that it would be difficult to break through the Xijin Mansion just by relying on the resentful army. What he wanted was to find a flaw in the battle, and then the elite Jurchens would come out to seize the flaw and break the Xijin Mansion. .

The siege continued.

Xian Deng's soldiers who climbed up the ladder to attack the city were constantly knocked down by boulders, and Xian Deng was never able to get close to the female wall.

Being unable to attack for a long time has greatly reduced the morale of the first troops. The constant accumulation of corpses has made many people fearful. They can't see the hope of attacking the city wall.

"Why is there still no movement in the city?"

Wanyan Zongqian frowned as he looked at the sun rising in the east. Zuo Qigong promised to help break the city at dawn. Now that they had attacked a lot, there should have been some movement in the city.

"They're all trash, they fail more than they succeed!"

Wan Yanchang gritted his teeth and said, now there is no need to hold out hope for those people in Zuo Qigong.

"Go forward with the crossbow and suppress the enemies in the city!"

Wan Yanchang then ordered that since the people in the city were unreliable, they had to rely on themselves. If there were no large equipment, then bows and crossbows would be used.

"Crossbowman, follow me!"

Wanyan Zongwang called the crossbowmen to come forward. These crossbowmen were all elite Jurchens with superb shooting skills.

"Master, those Jurchen elites haven't moved yet. It seems they want to use these servants to consume us!"

Wu Song said.

"They are worthy of consuming us?"

Lu Zhishen looked at the enemy with disdain. It was impossible to attack the Xijin Mansion using the human sea tactic, even if all the 10,000+ enemies died under the city.

"If we are ten, besiege us, if we are five, attack us, if we are twice as many, we are fighting! These Jurchens are used to fighting with the wind, and they think we are the same as the Liao people."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile that he had seen the Jurchens attacking the city, that is, relying on weapons to attack the city. This method of attack was effective against the decadent Liao Kingdom, but Liangshan was different.
