In the west city of Chang'an City, a fierce fighting began in the city gate cave.
The attacker was Nianhan, who was known as the best general in the world, the deputy commander of the Kingdom of Jin, and had once penetrated the Western Army of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty.
There are two people on the defensive side. One is Liu Qi's powerful general Yan Chong and the former Song Army general Qu Duan who has nothing.
At the beginning, Chang'an City was in chaos, and Yan Chong of Ximen responded immediately. He even lit countless torches on the city wall just in case.
But Nianhan was not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, he kept letting his troops disappear and appear, acting as suspicious troops.
Yan Chong didn't feel relieved when he saw this, so he could only exclude the scouts from going to check the enemy's strength. After all, in Yan Chong's eyes, Nianhan did not appear under Chang'an City at this time.
It's not a problem to open the city gate slightly at this time.
But it was this thought that made Ximen of Chang'an miss instantly.
Just when the city gate opened and the military scouts started to take action, the Jin soldiers who had been lying under the city pretending to be dead for most of the day suddenly rose up.
Holding a short sword, he killed the scout who rushed out on the spot, and then attacked the city gate and started to entangle with the city gate defenders under Yan Chong.
These people are all dead soldiers of the Jin people. In order to ensure their speed and agility, they don't even wear armor.
But it was such a group of guys with flesh and blood who kept advancing under the power of strong bows and crossbows, and they were able to survive until Nianhan's army rushed into Chang'an City.
Upon seeing this, Yan Chong knew that he had done something stupid. Instead of running away, he directly withstood the Jin's attack and fought fiercely with the Jin in the city gate hole, refusing to take a step back.
"No matter whether His Majesty escapes or fights to the death, we cannot let the Jin man rush into Chang'an City so easily.
I will repay myself for the wrong things I have done.
Brothers, attack with a certain family, fight to the death, fight to the death! "
Charges, deadly battles, and killings caused the Song army to die continuously, and also caused the attacking Jin people to stop their charge.
In the deadly battle, the casualties of both sides continued to increase, but overall, the Song Army's casualties were more tragic because of the surprise attack.
Just when Yan Chong was about to lose his hold, Qu Duan finally came out and charged directly into the enemy's army with his more than a thousand troops.
The two short spears in his hands kept charging and knocked a gold soldier off his horse.
Qu Duan is brave, and all the soldiers under his command are willing to die for him.
But after all, Qu Duan is not Yue Fei, nor is he Han Shizhong, who is famous for his bravery. His bravery cannot turn the tide of the battle.
But he still rushed to Yan Chong, and faced Yan Chong's thanks, Qu Duan mocked him mercilessly.
"If you don't know how to fight, don't harm the soldiers here, and get out of here!"
"You..." Yan Chong didn't expect to be disgusted by this guy before he died. He almost couldn't help but chop this guy into pieces with a knife.
"What are you, you are scolding you, are you still not convinced?" Qu Duan still sneered, looking at more and more Jin people rushing in, he just showed a sneer.
"The Jin people are tall and brave, good at riding and shooting, but I, the Song Dynasty, also have ways to restrain them. You guy has been a general for many years and you have even forgotten this!"
Although Qu Duan's words were unpleasant, they made Yan Chong react.
"crossbow!"
"I, the Great Song Dynasty Shannu, have fallen into a deadly battle in Chang'an. All kinds of crossbows have been placed on the city wall. At this time, you are probably still worried that Nianhan will attack the city wall.
If you don't take down all the bows and crossbows now, don't you plan to give them all to the Jinren? "
Qu Duan's scolding made Yan Chong blush, but he did not continue to refute. But just when he was about to go to bring in many bows and crossbows, he hesitated again.
There was a slight hesitation in Qu Duan's eyes, as if he had something to say but couldn't.
When Qu Duan saw this, he knew his worries, and the roar in his heart surged up again. He looked at the hesitant Yan Chong, and then at the battlefield in front of him where the fighting was still going on.
"Thief, if I want to surrender, do you think your troops and horses can stop me?"
Such words finally brought Yan Chong back to his senses, then he smiled awkwardly at Qu Duan and immediately yelled.
"Brothers, follow me up the city wall to lift the crossbow and hand this place over to General Qu Duan!"
After giving the order, more than two thousand soldiers who had not yet completely fought in the battle returned to the city wall under the leadership of Yan Chong.
The crossbows on the city wall are not the kind of crossbows that can be used by one person, but real Han crossbows.
The enemy-breaking bow that requires dozens of people to barely lift is also called a mechanical crossbow.
It is a divine arm bow with a bow length of three feet and three feet, a string length of two feet and five feet, and a range of more than 240 steps.
There is also the Zhuge Liannu that Zhuge Kongming improved and is now called a strong crossbow.
In addition, there are various types of crossbows and crossbows. These are the real support for the Song Dynasty to fight to the death with the Jin people. They were not carried before to rush to the city gate quickly.
Now under Qu Duan's reminder, Yan Chong finally remembered.
But Yan Chong's departure made the city gate once again in danger. Nianhan seemed to have figured out what Yan Chong wanted to do, and upon seeing this, he immediately charged more fiercely.
The casualties of the Song Army also became more tragic.
"General, the brothers in front can't bear it anymore!" Qu Duan's captain soon came to Qu Duan, looking at his general as if he wanted to persuade him.
But after seeing Qu Duan's look, he chose to close his mouth.
"A certain family has said that it is impossible for a certain family to surrender. Zhang Zhongyan and Zhao Bin have lost the face of our Qu family army. If I were to surrender to the Golden Dog now.
How will the people of the world see me in the future, how will the ancestors see me!
Kill them and fight to the death here today. If everyone dies, then we will continue to kill with the ghost of the golden man in the underworld! "
Qu Duan was holding a pair of short spears and kept charging towards the front. Nianhan looked at Qu Duan who was still fighting to the death and was still trying to stop him with few soldiers. He couldn't help but spit fire from his eyes.
"Qu Duan, you have obviously been abandoned by that Zhao Huan son, why are you still working so hard for him, surrendering my big gold to me, and enjoying the glory and wealth.
In the future, conquer Luoyang, capture the Zhao family, and kill them all to vent your anger! "
"Get out of here, mother. I killed the thief for the sake of my ancestors, not for the stupid king.
You bastard, if you have the guts, come here and see if I can shatter those dog teeth in your mouth! "
Qu Duan doesn't have any sense of elegance now, his mouth is full of dirty words, and he is as crazy as a wild dog when he kills people.
He blocked the road with all the corpses, suppressed the space of the Jin cavalry, killed the Jin's horses, blocked the city gate even more, and withstood the Jin's attacks again and again with his flesh and blood.
Until there were only a dozen or so people around him, until he was scarred, shaky, and could fall down at any time.
But at this time, the person he had been waiting for finally arrived.
"Win the string!"
Yan Chong returned again, with rows of crossbowmen holding divine arm bows. Behind them were large powerful crossbows and several mechanical crossbows to break the enemy's bows.
The rows of sharp arrows shone with cold light, but Yan Chong still did not draw them.
Seeing this scene, Qu Duan looked at Yan Chong until he hesitated for some reason and couldn't help spitting blood.
"You bastard Yan Chong, what are you waiting for, you bastard? There are only rebel general Qu Duan and Jin Ren Nianhan here, what are you waiting for!
Are you going to keep that crossbow arrow to give birth to your cubs?
shoot! "
With a final roar, Qu Duan threw off his helmet, and a sharp spear penetrated his heart directly, and his mouth and nose were filled with blood.
"Kill the thief!"
"shoot!"
Qu Duan's last roar in his life and Yan Chong's order were issued at the same time, and sharp arrows suddenly covered their eyes.
The wide city gate now seemed extremely narrow, as if it had been completely covered by the rain of arrows. Countless Jin people and their war horses were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.
Also shot through were the remaining Quduan soldiers, as well as Quduan, who had lost his voice.
Arrows continued to explode, enemy-breaking bows and powerful crossbows roared continuously, and the soldiers holding the divine arm bows did not even notice that their hands had been cut by the bow strings.
Thousands of arrows were slanted out in just three sticks of incense, and corpses piled up like mountains, almost completely blocking the city gate.
The city gate was blocked with corpses.
Nianhan retreated!
He was once again repulsed by Song Jun's madness. Looking at the blocked city gate, Nianhan was speechless for a long time.
On the city wall, the rolling stone was also thrown down, and the boulder appeared again with a roar and fell.
"retreat!"
Nianhan's plan failed.
In fact, he succeeded. Without Qu Duan, he could have rushed into Chang'an. Wanyan Zongfu had already laid an ambush outside the city.
His plan could be implemented perfectly, and the elite of the Song Dynasty could be almost destroyed in this battle.
But he failed, lost to a... a madman.
When Zhao Huan, Li Gang and others appeared in Xicheng, they saw such a scene, with countless corpses filling their eyes.
More than two thousand Song soldiers all fell into silence. They looked in front of them without saying a word, their palms dripping with blood, and blood continued to drip to the ground.
The fierce general Yan Chong walked up to the corpse and seemed to be digging hard at the corpse, trying to find Qu Duan's corpse from inside.
But he was destined to fail. The huge power of the enemy-breaking bow was enough to tear a person apart, and Qu Duan was turned into a puddle of rotten flesh with an indistinguishable appearance under such a blow.
Until his death, he never thought about surrendering to the Jin people, and he never even thought about it for a moment.
After all, he is Qu Duan, not Zhang Zhongyan or Zhao Bin.
If you really want to say it, Qu Duan is more like the arrogant general who rebelled against his relatives in Wuzhangyuan and still stayed on one side and refused to surrender to Wei.
Wei Yan!
