Chapter 274 The Collapsed City Wall

Wei Ming brought his wife Ha Chi and Meng Gu back to the west of the city, feeling very depressed.He doesn't know how to face Ning Kechu now.After all, the loss of the child has a lot to do with him.Although he can be regarded as someone who has been on the battlefield, he is still far from a cold-blooded person.Perhaps, he didn't want to turn himself into a cold-blooded person in his heart.It is his dream to hide in the mountains, be with his family, and live a comfortable pastoral life.He was really tired of intrigues and deceitful life.

But at this moment, there was a rumbling sound not far away, followed by an early warning sound from the top of the city, and the Mongols came.Along with it, the Hou Jin army, which had already broken out of the siege, turned back again and approached the city.

"Old Sun!" Wei Ming called to stop Sun Chengzong who was rushing towards the city wall.It is now daylight, and visibility has improved a lot as the fire has been gradually extinguished.

"You're back. How's it going? Did you catch Ha Chi?" Wei Ming took a few steps forward, and walked quickly towards the city wall with Sun Chengzong.Li Zicheng and Masamune Date handed over the wife Hachi and his wife to the people below, and specially sent a general to watch them carefully, and followed Sun Chengzong Weiming to the city wall.

"I caught it. Grandpa Ha Chi is still in a coma. I don't know if I can put out the fire. Let God do it!" Wei Ming didn't want to talk about it any more, so he paused and then said, "Old Sun, what do you mean by the Houjin Army? What? If they persist for another night, the Mongolian army will come, and the situation we will face will be even more dangerous. At that time, the city will be attacked from both sides. Can't even run away."

"What are you trying to do? Marquis Wei, you still don't fight much. Fighting depends on strength, plus a little bit of luck. And sometimes, luck is the decisive factor. Take this battle as an example, if If we can't extinguish the fire in the city as soon as possible, what will happen? After that time, the Jin army and the Mongol army will block the city gate, and we can't even get out. Didn't you notice that? No more, even the north gate they broke through. What are they doing this for? Isn’t it to trap us in the city? It will be easier to get in and harder to get out. It won’t be much by then, even if we don’t Everyone was burned to death. If you were besieged for a month, you would still have to die in this Liaoyang city. This time I was careless. If it wasn’t for that brother under your command who dug a tunnel, where would we come from so many? Water to put out the fire? If you can’t put out the fire, you’ll all have to die here. This time we can only say that our luck is better than that of the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols. Laugh at you outside the city, wait at the bottom of the city, come down and hack one to death." Sun Chengzong still has lingering fears, and he can clearly hear his non-stop gasping when he speaks, it seems that Sun Chengzong was really scared this time.

Wei Ming nodded, didn't say anything more, and followed Sun Chengzong to the top of the city.Then there was a little light in the sky, and the Hou Jin army and the Mongolian army running around the city could be vaguely seen, as if they were checking something.

"Come here, order to fire!" Sun Chengzong gave an order, and the rumbling sound of shelling rang out from time to time.Wei Ming involuntarily plugged his ears.No matter when the sound of the cannon is so shocking.Although his ears were blocked, Wei Ming's eyes could see clearly that the enemy army was still far away from the city wall, and at this distance they couldn't hurt them at all.

"Old Sun, what's the use of this picture if you can't hit anyone?" Wei Ming asked incomprehensibly.Modern artillery doesn't have that much range at all.

"Who says it's useless? These are just spies who reported the situation to the enemy's coach. Their coach will either think that we are bluffing and send troops to attack, or they will think that we are ready to defend. There is nothing to do. Take advantage of this opportunity and choose to retreat." Sun Chengzong said, Wei Ming was baffled by what he heard, is there any difference between this and not saying anything?Isn't war just these two possibilities?Can you still come up with a third type?
"If they don't attack, what else can they do if they don't retreat? Isn't it superfluous." Wei Ming said disdainfully, but he didn't interfere with Sun Chengzong's command.The most taboo thing in war is to order out multiple orders, so that the soldiers below don't know whose orders to obey, which is very fatal.At the least, it will allow the enemy to take advantage of it, and at the worst, it will cause internal strife and directly lead to military failure.

"Yes, that is to observe the situation. We are not afraid of them attacking or retreating, but we are afraid that they will stay here and not leave. We don't have much food, which is not enough for the army to survive the winter. The big fire in the Kingdom of Jin Burned everything that could be burned in Liaoyang City. I reckon that even if there is enough food left, there will not be much food left. And who can eat our little food? At that time, even the supply route will be blocked, then we will really It’s ridiculous to say that, a few days ago we were the ones besieging the Kingdom of Jin, and now it’s someone else besieging us, hey.” Sun Chengzong couldn’t help sighing.And in such a gap, there are obviously a lot fewer sentry riders outside, and they should report it.

"The world is impermanent, who can predict it?" Wei Ming followed casually.Just like myself, yesterday was the father of two children, but today, a child suddenly disappeared, who to reason with?
Both of them fell silent, letting the strong north wind beat on their faces, bringing a cold wind for a while, and a heat wave for a while, just like the mood of the two of them now, ups and downs.I took a look into the city, but fortunately, it seemed that half of Liaoyang City was saved.There were not many losses from the south of the city to the west of the city, but the north of the city and the east of the city were basically burnt beyond recognition.Moreover, the tunnel was dug right into Grandma Hachi's mansion, so how easy is it to find water further on?We can only throw all those igniters on a big fire to speed up the burning, so that the fire will end quickly.Now only the northeast corner of the city can still see larger flames. In other places, there are many places where smoke is emitted, and there are also many places that are completely extinguished.Going to look at Liaoyang City again, the magnificent Liaoyang City, which was originally divided into two cities in the north and south, now seems to be crushed by a giant beast, which is terrible.

"Hey, a famous city was destroyed just like that. How much manpower and material resources were spent on building Liaoyang City? How long did it take? It was taken away in just such a fire." Sun Chengzong looked at the devastated Liaoyang City, Can't help but sigh with emotion.

"What should come will always come, what should go will always go." Wei Ming said noncommittally.The two fell silent again, not knowing what to say, thinking about their own affairs.But at this moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from a distance, and the Mongols and Houjin men came to kill them.

"You shit, I don't know how to take a rest and get ready to fight!" Wei Ming cursed fiercely, and then ordered.

"Marquis Wei, you'd better go down. You can't be of much help here, and you'll distract the soldiers from protecting you. It's not worth it." Sun Chengzong, who was originally quite shrewd, seemed to be indifferent in front of Wei Ming. I know what is called euphemism, and I always say what I have.Although the situation is like this, can't you make up a better reason for me to step down?However, Wei Ming also knew that it was an extraordinary time, so he didn't care about being serious with Sun Chengzong, and gave him a middle finger fiercely, and was about to walk down the city wall to see if his cheap old man was dead or not.

Just when Wei Ming was about to walk down the city wall, he suddenly felt the ground shaking. Wei Ming felt that he was holding on to the handrail next to him, otherwise he would have to roll down the steps of the city wall.In that case, even if you don't die, you will take half your life.After a long while, he slowly regained his composure.Looking at the distance, the sky has been obscured by the rising dust.

"What's going on! Who can tell me what's going on!" Wei Ming jumped anxiously.No matter what accident happens now, it is not good for the Ming army.He is eager to know what happened!
"The city wall has collapsed!" Someone yelled, and Wei Ming felt his legs were filled with lead, weak and limp on the ground.The walls are down, what does that mean?
