Kai Fu Han

Chapter 348 Dare to Bet
At the same time, the defense of more than 20 sections of the city wall that was attacked put the rebels on the city wall a bit stretched. Soon, the Jin army attacked several sections of the city wall. After gaining a firm foothold, a steady stream of Jin troops began to climb up the city wall along the breach.

"Go help!" Liu Xinqi ordered.

The guards who were already eager to take action immediately took the order and ran towards several broken sections of the city wall. The golden soldiers who attacked the city wall were swept down three times, five times five divided by two, and the siege ladder was also pushed away.

The defense on the city wall stabilized again.

"Thank you, leader, for your help!" Yu Jin came over and thanked him.

"They have increased their manpower." Liu Xinqi reminded.

It can be clearly seen from the city wall that after the siege manpower was consumed by less than half, the Jin army did not call for gold and withdraw its troops. Instead, it sent five more square formations and 5000 people rushed forward.

"I'm going to command the defense of the city."

Yu Jin quickly walked away. The battle to defend the city was ongoing, and the rebels had suffered heavy casualties. At this time, the preparations in the city were also mobilized to help defend the city.

"The city gate has been filled in." Liu Xinbao reminded.

Liu Xinqi looked around and saw that a three-foot-wide passage had been filled in at the city gate.

There was a car being pushed over slowly by Jin Bing.

The car crash consists of a frame with a huge iron-clad wood hanging on the front. It can use the potential energy accumulated in the swing to hit the city gate. The structure is very simple, but it is very heavy.

The crash car was quickly pushed along the passage to the city gate.

"Go to the oil!" shouts came from the city gate tower.

A large amount of grease was poured from the pouring spout on the city gate, and then the grease was ignited.

For a moment, the city gate cave was like hell. The golden soldiers screamed and ran for their lives. Many golden soldiers were covered in grease and their whole bodies were set on fire. They jumped into the moat next to them.

Liu Xinqi looked at this scene and truly realized the cruelty of the city defense battle.

There have never been so many casualties in the Xinghan League's siege, whether it was the enemy or themselves.

As for this city defense battle, so far, the number of casualties on the Guangnan City Wall is estimated to have exceeded 5000, and may have been close to [-].

"Jin Jun wants to make a great achievement all at once."

"Indeed, without even a little temptation, just attack with all your strength." Liu Xinbao also agreed.

If it weren't for the moat, there were only about twenty siege points, and too many people could not be deployed. It is estimated that the Jin soldiers would directly press the entire army and take away the rebel defenders in one wave.

At that time, it would be useless even if the soldiers of the Xinghan League helped. Quantitative changes would lead to qualitative changes.

"Leader, look, the golden eagle!" Liu Xinbao reminded.

Liu Xinqi raised his head and looked south. Sure enough, a golden eagle flew towards that direction, flew over the city wall, and landed in the city.

There is an intelligence point of the Military Intelligence Department in the city, and a beacon is set up on the roof so that the golden eagle can identify it and then land.

Soon an intelligence officer from the Military Intelligence Department sent the information to the city wall.

"Yangxin was captured and the food was burned." Liu Xinbao finished browsing quickly and reported to Liu Xinqihui.

"I thought Gao Yuan would transport some of the food out of the city first, but I didn't expect him to be so decisive." Liu Xinqi replied.

"It was not burned by us, but by the defeated Jin soldiers. Gao Yuan is organizing the people to put out the fire. I don't know how much can be saved." Liu Xinqi added an explanation.

"Understood, you inform Jiao Rui and let them try to break out. I think the rebels can't hold on anymore." Liu Xinqi ordered.

"Yes!"

The golden eagle quickly flew out of the city and landed in a forest outside the city.After a while, fifty soldiers from the special battle company appeared in Liu Xinqi's field of vision, all riding horses and rushing straight towards the Jin Army's central army.

These horses were all captured by the Jin Army in the past few days.

The Jin Army seemed to have anticipated the Special Operations Company's charge. The Jin Army's cavalry units, which had been guarding both sides of the Chinese Army's formation and had not participated in the siege battle, saw the appearance of the Special Operations Company. They immediately separated half of them and mounted their horses to meet them. Go up.

These 50 people retreated at the first touch and began to lead these golden soldiers in a circle to lure half of the golden soldiers away.

"It seems useless!" Liu Xinbao said worriedly.

"You didn't pay attention, this is only 50 people." Liu Xinqi reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking, thirty more soldiers from the special battle company rushed out from the other direction. The Jin army's center formation had to divide the remaining half of the cavalry to meet them again, but they were led away again.

Then ten more soldiers from the special operations company appeared.

This time, the Golden Army only sent a hundred cavalry to fight in the middle formation. They were shot by soldiers of the special company with short spears, crossbow arrows at close range, and then saber melee. In a few breaths, only a dozen cavalry were killed and fled.

These ten soldiers of the special battle company continued to charge towards the Jin Army's central army. Judging from the comparison of their numbers, they looked like moths rushing to the flames.

The head coach of the Jin Army did not dare to let these warriors "moths" swoop close to him. Who knows if these warriors could kill anyone a hundred steps away. Many of the Jin Army generals before were able to kill someone a hundred steps away. He was shot in the head by Shao Zhen.

He could only send another thousand riders to meet him, but was led away again.

In this way, there were only one thousand cavalry and five hundred infantry guards left on the left and right sides of the central army.

When the Jin Army coach was praying that this group of demons would not appear again, ten more soldiers from the special operations company rushed over on horseback.

After the last 1000 people were sent out, the infantry formation in front of the Chinese army formation began to retreat and guard around the Chinese army formation.

This retreat left the siege troops without backup and became a lone army. Their morale immediately dropped sharply and the offensive became decadent.

"Ding! Ding!"

Seeing that he couldn't make a wave of success, the coach of the Jin Army could only withdraw his troops.

Seeing the golden soldiers receding like a tide, the surviving rebels on the city wall immediately shouted loudly in celebration.

"Will they attack again today?" Liu Xinbao asked.

"Probably not, it will be dark soon." Liu Xinqi replied.

After a while, Yu Jin came over.

"Mr. Liu, although we have defended today, but I just counted the other three walls and our side, all of which suffered heavy casualties. Tomorrow..."

I didn’t know what to say next, so I paused.

"Don't worry, Wanyan Zongbi's logistics point Yangxin City has been captured by us. Now they have no food supplies. It is not certain whether they will attack the city tomorrow." Liu Xinqi comforted.

Yu Jin wasn't too surprised when he heard this.

"However, when the Jin army goes out, they will definitely carry at least seven days of food and grass. It has only been three days since Wanyan Zongbi left the city. They still have four days of food and grass. Facing an offensive like today, we cannot hold on for four days."

"Your calculation is wrong. Although the Jin army still has four days of food and grass, it is impossible for them to attack Yanshan City until there is not even a grain of rice left without logistics." Liu Xinqi replied.

A gambler cannot become the commander-in-chief of tens of thousands of people, and those who are adept at fighting will not achieve great success.

Wanyan Zongbi didn't dare to bet that he could take Yanshan City before the food ran out. If he couldn't take it, his tens of thousands of gold troops might all be buried in Cangzhou.

The Jin Kingdom did not have many elite soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of people were killed in Cangzhou. Wanyan Zongbihui was beheaded alive by the Jin Emperor.
