Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 180 The Third Cruel Siege

------------

Qu Duan led 20 soldiers and horses to clear the way ahead, and did not encounter any ambushes along the way.Uploaded by a friend == Zhong Shidao led [-] soldiers and horses behind him, and behind him was Zhang Yu's [-] soldiers and horses.

It can be said that Puzhou itself will become extremely empty, but neither Zhong Shidao nor Zhang Yu has any worries in their hearts. Now that the officers and soldiers are in a strong attack position, they are not afraid of the Liangshan bandits' counterattack at all.

Yue Fei's 4000 troops had been divided into three parts. He, Zhang Xian, and Yang Lin led 3000 people, Lu Fang led 3000 people, and Guo Sheng led [-] people.Yue Fei issued an order that no one should attack, as long as he hid himself well.

"Brother, I'm afraid there's something wrong with us hiding like this? The soldiers are a little dissatisfied with you?" Zhang Xian hid in a mountainside position, looking at the Northwest Army walking in the distance, he couldn't help but ask.

"We're going down now, that's looking for death! There are 20 enemies, and there is no chance of winning if we attack rashly." Yue Fei said.

"Then when will we attack?" Zhang Xian said.

"When the enemy is exhausted, when the enemy has no fighting spirit, we will attack in one fell swoop! At that time, 1 people can defeat the enemy's 20 people!" Yue Fei said.

So Yue Fei's army continued to hide. There are many mountains in the east of the river, and there are many places to hide. They are not afraid of being discovered by the northwest army.

The Northwest Army rested in Jiangzhou that night, and the next day the whole army marched towards Jinning City.By the afternoon of that day, the 20 troops finally arrived at the city of Jinning.

Zhong Shidao took a few cronies to observe the situation in Jinning City. When he saw the scene of people coming and going on the Jinning City Wall, he also frowned secretly, and it was difficult to judge how many people were there.Unless it is a field battle, or a full-scale siege, this can determine the approximate number of enemies.

"Order the soldiers to rest on the spot, and start attacking the city after half an hour!" Zhong Shidao gave the order without hesitation.

So the 20 army first took a short rest, they ate some dried meat, drank some cold water, and began to replenish their strength.Many soldiers of the Western Army had relaxed smiles on their faces. They didn't pay attention to Jinning City in front of them at all.

Jinning City is just an ordinary city in the east of the river, and the city is guarded by a group of "grass bandits" in their hearts. It is impossible for them to pay attention to Jinning City.

"The bandits from Liangshan have occupied five prefectures in Hedong, and Jinning is one of them! After we capture Jinning, General Feng Mei must have captured Gaizhou City, and Zhang Xiaochun must have captured Fenyang City as well! Then we will conquer the remaining two cities with all our strength, and we will wipe out the Liangshan bandits in the east of the river! Unfortunately, the main force of the Liangshan bandits is in Koryo, which is too far away from the Central Plains, and it is impossible for us to travel long distances to get there. Otherwise, we will wipe out Your Majesty will definitely reward us for the so-called 'King of Liang'." The one who spoke was a young general named Zhe Yanwen, the son of Zhe Ke who led the army this time, and he came out with his father at the age of 18 this year I have fought, and I am likely to inherit the Zhe family general in the future.

"There is no problem for General Feng Mei to capture Gaizhou City, but that Zhang Xiaochun, I am afraid that he is not capable enough to conquer Fenyang." Qu Duan was sitting next to him, and Qu Duan laughed.

Although Feng Mei herself was not good enough, she led the Northwest Army anyway, so Qu Duan took a high look at it. As for the so-called Taiyuan prefect Zhang Xiaochun, he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Brother Qu, you said we have so many soldiers and horses coming to Hedong, will Xixia take the opportunity to attack us?" Zhe Yanwen asked worriedly.

"The Xixia people are nothing, I believe they don't have that kind of courage." Qu Duan said.

In the past few decades, the situation of the Northern Song Dynasty and Xixia has undergone great changes. In the northwest, soldiers and horses of the Northern Song Dynasty often suppress the Xixia people, but it is difficult for the Xixia people to fight back.After hundreds of years, the Xixia people have already lost their vigor, and they are the same as the Khitan people, or far inferior to the Khitan people.Therefore, Qu Duan has no fear of the Xixia people, and does not think that the Xixia people dare to attack the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Brother Qu, the drums are ringing, and the city is about to be attacked!" Zhe Yanwen stood up suddenly, and said.

"Okay, try to take down this Jinning City today!" Qu Duan laughed.

It was already dusk, but the Northwest soldiers and horses launched a brutal siege battle at this time.

30 huge trebuchets were set up, and countless boulders were thrown towards the city wall.

Under the city wall, hundreds of ramming vehicles began to move, aiming to reach the gate of Jinning City!

While the rest of the Northwest soldiers were holding ladders, under the supervision of the general, they shouted loudly and rushed towards the city wall!

There are 20 soldiers in the northwest. At this moment, [-] soldiers are charging to the south gate, and another [-] soldiers are charging to the east gate. They must be defeated in one battle.

Numerous soldiers held their shields and braved the rain of arrows falling from above, and then climbed up when they came to the bottom of the city wall. On the way up, they had to be careful of the boulders, lumber, boiling oil, etc. that fell from above.

"A mere Jinning City, except for the moat on the west side, the rest of the city doesn't even have a moat. It's easy to capture such a small city!" In front of him, he smiled.

"The Liangshan bandits are well prepared. Look at the rain of arrows falling from above. How many bows and arrows do they have?" Zhong Shidao frowned.

"No matter how many bows and arrows there are, the city wall is so low, our soldiers will be able to rush up soon." Zhe Keqiu said.

At this moment, a soldier ran over, knelt down on the ground, and said, "You two generals, someone has rushed up!"

Zhong Shidao, Zhe Keqiu was overjoyed, and Zhong Shidao said: "Since our soldiers have rushed up, it will be very easy to break the city!"

He is very happy in his heart now, but he still has some faint regrets. He feels that he really had a high opinion of the Liangshan bandits before.The bandits in Liangshan were indeed still "thieves", and they were still vulnerable to the Northwest army.

At this moment on the city wall, Liangshan soldiers were extremely nervous, even their leader Lin Chong was extremely nervous. Northwest soldiers and horses had already rushed up, and Liangshan soldiers fought back bravely, driving those northwest soldiers and horses down the city.

"Kill! Kill them! They must not be allowed to enter the city!" Lin Chong shouted loudly.

The surrounding Liangshan soldiers continued to fight the enemy bravely. When the setting sun was like blood, all the soldiers' clothes turned into blood clothes. There were corpses everywhere on the city wall. There were enemies and their own, but generally speaking, they were still enemies. more.

There were too many Liangshan soldiers on the city wall, and soon those northwest soldiers and horses who rushed up were driven down again.

"Marshal, the Liangshan bandits are very brave, we have been driven down again!" A small soldier strode over and reported to Master Zhong.

"Continue to charge! Keep charging! Kill the enemy!" Dao Zhong gritted his teeth.

Under the cover of various siege weapons, the 20 Northwest army kept charging. They kept rushing to the city wall, and then they were constantly driven down by the Liangshan army!Their siege weapons are powerful, but the city walls are dominated by the Liangshan army!

The sky has gradually turned dark, but the Western Army's attack still hasn't stopped. Shocking shouts of killing can be heard within a radius of tens of miles, and the smell of blood is everywhere. They were all terrified and fled towards the distance one after another.

"Marshal, our soldiers are really exhausted!" Qu Duan was originally leading the attack on the city, but was driven out. At this moment, he limped to the front of Zhong Shidao and said with a bitter face.

"How is your tui?" Zhong Shidao asked with concern.

"Marshal, it's fine! But, do you want the soldiers to rest for a while?" Qu Duan said.

"No, we are exhausted, and so are the Liangshan thieves! Our Western Army is the strongest army in the world. If we can persevere, do you think those thieves can also persevere?" Mr. Zhong said.

"I'm afraid the thieves won't be able to persist." Qu Duan thought for a while and said.

Ordinary thieves are mobs, and they will collapse quickly when faced with too much pressure. At this moment, Zhong Shidao and Qu Duan also use this mentality to look at the Liangshan army in Jinning City.

They didn't know that the Liangshan army in Jinning City was all new troops, inexperienced, and without good generals, and everything else was better than the Northwest Army outside.Their individual qualities and their will to fight are far superior to those of the Northwest Army outside.

In the middle of the night, the siege became more violent. Five trebuchets had problems due to continuous shooting. More and more corpses were piled up on the city wall, but Liangshan soldiers were still full of fighting spirit and were still waiting. A bo attack.

But at this time, the Western Army couldn't take it anymore, and many soldiers of the Western Army were lying on the ground unwilling to move forward.

"Marshal, the soldiers are really exhausted! You must let them rest!" This time, Zhe Keqiu came to Zhong Shidao and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone.

Most of the Western Army is the Si Army. This time, 20 of the 5 troops are the Zhejia Army. Seeing that the Zhejia Army was severely damaged during the siege, Zhe Keqiu was already a bit unbearable.

"General Zhe, you lead half of the troops to rest first, and continue to attack tomorrow morning! My Zhongjia army will fight overnight!" Dao Zhong snorted coldly.

Zhe Keqiu, but no matter what mood Zhong Shidao is in now, after getting the order, he immediately withdrew his Zhe family general.

Zhong's army is still attacking, but Zhong Shi's mood is getting more and more depressed. The Liangshan bandits are really too tenacious, occupying such an ordinary city, facing such a huge attack, they didn't collapse?Are they different from other thieves?Aren't they thieves too?Why can you persist?

"Attack me, attack fiercely! I don't believe that bandits can persist to this extent!" said the 70-year-old seed teacher, gnashing his teeth.

In the morning of the next day, the Zhong family army finally couldn't hold on anymore and began to retreat to rest. At this time, Zhe Keqiu continued to attack with the remaining half of the soldiers and horses. At dusk, when the Zhe family army retreated At that time, the family army continued to attack.

This kind of teacher's way and compromise can be found, and the two of them worked in shifts. In the following ten days, the Northwest Army did not stop at all, and continued to attack 24 hours a day!Such an attack, not to mention the "grass bandits" of the Song Dynasty, even the Xixia people would absolutely not be able to bear it.

Zhong Shidao, Zhe Keqiu and others are getting more and more shocked.

"Marshal, the soldiers really can't hold on anymore! If we continue to attack like this, I'm afraid we will collapse first!" Tian Qu Duan came to Zhong Shidao on this day, and said with a tired face.

He didn't know how the people in the city felt about such a 24-hour attack. He only knew that the Northwest Army, the most powerful army in the Song Dynasty, could no longer support it!Even though they could take turns to rest, staying for ten days in a row would be a huge physical and mental torture that the Northwest Army could no longer bear.
