This is too strong!
Climbing up the watchtower again and looking at Kaifeng Fucheng five miles away, Wanyan Wu Qimai had the same thought pop up in his mind.
Kaifeng Mansion is too big and too strong!
Although this city is built on the south bank of the Yellow River with a flat plain, there is no danger at all. However, the Song Dynasty court and Kaifeng's army and people used countless wealth and their hands to build Kaifeng Mansion into a fortified city with copper walls and iron walls!
"Your Majesty, there are two city walls we can see now, one high and one short. The short one is called the Sheep and Horse Wall, which is built against the moat of Kaifeng Mansion. Unless we can fill in the moat, the warriors who cross the moat will be There was no way to find a wide enough foothold outside the sheep and horse wall.
In addition, boats can be sailed in the moat of Kaifeng Mansion. Navy warships coming from Liangshan are likely to appear in the moat!
In the sheep and horse wall of Kaifeng Mansion, there are also horse-faced piers, one every sixty steps. A female-headed wall was also built on the horse-faced pier, and behind the female-headed wall there should have been cannons and bed crossbows placed.
In addition to the female-headed wall on the horse-faced pier, female-headed walls were also built above other parts of the city wall. In front of all the women's head walls and sheep and horses walls, there are also wooden fences, which are wooden fences. They are usually eight or nine feet high. It is impossible to climb over them and can only be cut down. But when our warriors were chopping logs, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty would poke their spears behind the wall of women's heads and shoot with their divine arm bows..."
Standing next to Wu Qimai, the one explaining to him the defense situation of Kaifeng Mansion was Wanyan Yibu.
In the past few months, he has been trying every means to collect intelligence on Kaifeng Prefecture's city defense. Although he could not get the confidential data on Kaifeng Prefecture's city defense, he could still detect the city defense facilities that were clearly placed there. of.
After all, Kaifeng Mansion is a very busy industrial and commercial center city and the financial center of the Song Dynasty. There are tens of thousands of merchants coming in and out every day, so it is normal for a few traders to mix in.
In addition, Wanyan Wanli also specifically consulted Guo Yaoshi, Liu Yanzong, Han Chang and others who were familiar with the Song Dynasty's city defense methods, and figured out the general model of the Song Dynasty's city defense, so now he can discuss it with Wanyan Wu Qimai. It’s time.
"Then how should the Jurchen warriors break through Kaifeng City?" Wanyan Wu Qimai asked, "Isn't this city much stronger than the Khitan city we broke in the past?"
"This..." Wanyan Weili said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the Khitan cities we destroyed in the past were not really fortified according to Song people's standards, so there is no comparison."
The Khitans don't know how to defend the city at all. They don't build so many pieces of equipment. They just surround the city with a few walls. When defending the city, they send some people to shoot arrows, throw stones, and at most boil some dung juice... ..
Compared with the current defense of Kaifeng Fucheng, this kind of defense method is nothing more than children's play.
In fact, in the historical battles between Song, Jin, and even Song and Meng, it was extremely difficult to break a castle that the Song army had carefully defended...Abandonment, surrender, food exhaustion, and internal strife were the most important things in the Song Dynasty. The main reason for the city's fall. This also includes the two falls of Kaifeng Prefecture in history!
But now, the Song army's defense in Kaifeng Mansion has been completed, and now the soldiers and civilians defending the city are resolute, and the Song Dynasty official Zhao Kai is even more resolute. There is no possibility of surrender or abandonment, and internal strife is certainly not possible. As for running out of food... ....The Jin soldiers haven’t surrounded Kaifeng Mansion yet!
The water transportation of the Bianhe River, Huimin River, and Xincai River is still smooth, so Kaifeng Prefecture will certainly not run out of food.
"How should we capture Kaifeng Mansion?" Wanyan Wu asked.
He knew that Wanyan Onli might not have studied how to conquer Kaifeng Mansion?
"This..." Wanyan Wanli frowned, "There are only two ways to take Kaifeng, one is to siege; the other is to attack by force."
"How to siege?" Wanyan Wu Qimai continued to ask.
Wanyan Wanli said: "We have to cut off five canals including Wuzhang River, Bian River, Xincai River, Huimin River and Jinshui River."
This matter was accomplished very simply in the original history!
Because when the Jin soldiers came to Kaifeng for the first time, the Song Dynasty court had no time to prepare, so it did not fortify the five canals or form an inland river navy.
When the Jin soldiers came to Kaifeng Mansion for the second time, the Song Dynasty court still did nothing... When the Jin soldiers came to Kaifeng Mansion again, Kaifeng Mansion was still an L city! The five canals leading in and out of Kaifeng Prefecture are still undefended.
But now, Kaifeng Prefecture is fortified, and the Kaifeng-Liangshanbo section of the Wuzhang River and the Kaifeng Prefecture-Biankou section of the Bianhe River are all fortified. There are also more than 200 "Liangshan warships" operating on Liangshanbo, Wuzhang River, and Bianhe River.
However, the Wuzhang River and the Bian River are not big rivers, and the Jin soldiers still have ways to block them.
"We can set up hundreds of cannons along the Bian River and Wuzhang River," Wanyan Wanli said. "In this way, we can blockade the two rivers and push back the Song Dynasty's Liangshan Navy. Then we can set up floating bridges and completely block the rivers." Die Bianhe and Wuzhanghe!"
"What a good idea!" Wanyan Wu Qimai laughed, "Then how should we proceed with the assault on Kaifeng Mansion?"
Wanyan Wanli disagreed: "We can only start from filling the trenches and proceed step by step. There is no quick way to go... That's why I suggested starting the attack and siege of the city at the same time!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai asked again: "When can we start?"
Wanyan Wanli said: "We can start after Nianhan's people deliver the wood!"
This is really not easy!
To attack Kaifeng Mansion, you must first find a place to cut down trees, then transport them to the front line, and then make them into tools, and then you can carry out siege and siege operations.
Wanyan Wu Qimai took a breath and looked at the tall city wall of Kaifeng Mansion in the distance, his eyes showing greed.
That's Kaifeng Mansion!
The city of the richest man in the world!
Wanyan Wu's army of beggars came here after smelling the smell of Kaifeng Mansion. Now they have all arrived outside the city of Kaifeng Mansion, so naturally there is no possibility of retreating.
This Kaifeng Mansion must be fought even if it is not fought!
"Oh, please go to Nianhan's camp in person," Wanyan Wu said, "as long as he is willing to send 3,000 pieces of wood, 50,000 stones of grain, and 500,000 bundles of fodder to my army..." ...When Kaifeng Mansion is broken, let his troops enter the city to strengthen it for three days!"
The offensive and defensive battle of Kaifeng Prefecture has not yet begun, but Wanyan Wu's begging army has already encountered supply difficulties under the city of Kaifeng Prefecture!
It's not that they will run out of food soon, but the amount of food and grass they carry is insufficient, and they can only support the army to stay outside Kaifeng Prefecture for a month at most!
The original plan to plow the grass valley outside Kaifeng Prefecture was ruined again - because the area north of Wuzhang River and Bian River has been fortified and cleared, and it is difficult to get even wood, let alone food!
Fortunately, Wanyan Nianhan obtained some wood along the way, was able to build some equipment, conquered a few towns, and obtained some grain and more wood... Otherwise, Wanyan Wu would not be able to beg for money and Wanyan Yili would not be able to do it. Don't know how to attack the city?
…
At the same time, on the city wall of Kaifeng Mansion, Li Gang, Han Shizhong, Yu Wen Cuizhong, Zhang Shuye, Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu and others were holding a limited edition crystal telescope and observing Jin Bing from a distance. A magnificent camp.
This is a company camp where 230,000 to 40,000 troops are stationed!
And at least half of the 2.34 million troops also owned horses. Every day people shout "horse neigh", it's really loud.
But the people watching the battle on the top of Kaifeng City didn't care at all. No matter how many Jin soldiers there are, they can't beat Kaifeng Mansion!
Besides, they won't be able to launch an attack for a while - there's no wood!
Moreover, the officials personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison in the areas of Sanshan Floating Bridge, Xiaowuxun, and Pinglingxun behind the Jin army.
In fact, Zhao Kai was not trapped there!
Where Zhao Kai stayed, he was preparing to give the golden thief a fatal blow when the time came!
Han Shizhong was the first to put down the telescope and said with a smile: "Damn it, you can see really clearly with this telescope... Now I can't hide the gold thief's every move!"
Li Gang also put down his telescope, "Han Dutong, have you ever seen the gold thief? Can you predict the gold thief's next move?"
Han Shizhong said: "Reporting to the Privy Council, these gold thieves can't touch our city for the time being... because they don't have siege equipment, they can't attack our Kaifeng city. If a large amount of wood is delivered at some time, then In two or three days, the gold thieves will start filling in the trenches.”
Li Gang thought for a while and then asked: "If the gold thieves start to attack the city, how long can Han Dutong be sure of holding on?"
Han Shizhong smiled and said: "As long as the canal is not lost, it won't matter how long it takes!"
Sure enough, the heroes have the same idea!
Han Shizhong also knew the importance of canal water transportation to Kaifeng Prefecture!
"Most of the things we know, the gold thief will also think of," Li Gang said thoughtfully, "Han Dutong, do you have any countermeasures?"
"Yes! Of course there is!" Han Shizhong was full of confidence and crossed his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Privy Council, I already have a plan to defeat the enemy! And the officials have already made a plan to defeat the enemy! As long as we are in Kaifeng Mansion If you persevere a little longer, you will be able to win a great victory!"
…
"Dong dong dong..."
The sound of drums and drums once again broke the short-term peace on the Yanjin city wall, and the Jin soldiers' fierce attack began again!
The defenders on the Yanjin city wall also became nervous. Under the command of the officers, the civilians holding bows and arrows, except for a few who were responsible for observing the enemy's situation, all retreated behind the female head wall on the city wall to avoid cannons and arrows.
Only a few good players were still leaning against the crenel with their magic arms, watching the car formation that was getting closer and closer with concentration!
Under the city wall they stood on, a large section of the city trench filled with sandbags and human corpses suddenly appeared!
It seems that this wave of Jin Bing's offensive can finally reach the top of Yanjin City!
Gao Yanei, Gao Qingtian of Yanjin City, was holding the coffin in his hand and standing under the eaves of the city gate tower, just watching the gold thieves roaring towards him like a sea wave!
Yanjin is dangerous, Gaoyanei... is dangerous!
