The Mongolian soldiers rushed forward one after another. However, the "Fire Gun Formation" of Long Yan's defenders was well-organized and the projectiles were sufficient. The Mongolian army could not rush forward through the narrow city gate.
After paying hundreds of lives, the Mongolian army finally gave up this too reckless attack.
Therefore.
At first, Long Yan was nervous.
But now, Ironwood City is worried.
Although Jinghua is not the hinterland of Longyan, there are two major military groups in Youzhou and Liaodong in the northeast of Longyan.
Although Liaodong was unable to send troops to support due to the plague, the Youzhou Army, which was closer to Beijing, could provide support at any time.
Even though the Youzhou Army had rebelled against Long Yan, the rebellion had long been put down. Once the 200,000 Youzhou Army went south to Qinwang, they would be in an embarrassing situation of being attacked from both sides.
Therefore, they must end the battle as soon as possible.
His sneak attack on Jinghua was originally a lightning operation.
If it succeeds, the entire Long Yan will be in chaos.
After all, this is Beijing, the political center of Long Yan...
That's what Ironwood City thinks.
Once Long Yan loses the emperor, a situation like Long Yan with many vassal kings will definitely fall into chaos, and he can take advantage of the chaos to do something.
But the premise of all this...
It’s all a blitzkrieg success!
If you miss the opportunity to fight, everything will be hard to say!
It is very likely that he will be made dumplings by those King Qin’s troops!
At this time, Tanma Junsi had already received news.
The Youzhou army moved!
One hundred thousand infantrymen of the Youzhou Army are already rushing towards Beijing. It is expected that the vanguard of the Youzhou Army will arrive here in three hours.
In other words, Ironwood City still has three hours. If his army has not breached the gate of Jinghua City within three hours, this invasion operation will be declared afraid of failure, and they must leave here. .
Ironwood City had a headache. They had been preparing for this invasion for a long time. They spread kerosene on the city wall and then rammed the siege truck into the door. They thought that with this surprise, they could quickly break into Jinghua City. Unexpectedly, they actually resisted. down.
Although there is still kerosene, after such a long time, Long Yanjun should have a countermeasure.
"Military advisor, is there any other good idea? Our army is not good at attacking cities. If we continue to waste our troops, we will be in danger as soon as the Youzhou army arrives!"
Ironwood City asked with a sigh.
Is it really that I am too reckless?
Did you just make the decision to attack Long Yan this time?
"The Long Yan Army is not that strong, but their firearms are very powerful, and the city gate is small. It is difficult for our soldiers to break in, but as long as we can guard against their firearms, we can break the city in an instant."
BOC laughed happily.
"The military advisor said simply, firearms are so powerful, how can we defend against them?"
Tiemucheng asked with a frown.
"It's very simple, employ people." Zhong Xingyue said with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Human? What does the military counselor mean by asking my soldiers to use their lives to hit the projectiles?"
Ironwood City is going to be angry.
The population on the grassland is not large to begin with.
This is something that has always troubled him.
Want to let your brother die?
He only has so many soldiers and horses in his hands!
"Of course not. We have ready-made human shields, so we don't need our Mongolian warriors."
Zhongxing Yue said calmly.
"Human shield? Where is it?"
After Tiemucheng asked, Zhongxingyue clapped his hands, and then dozens of Mongolian soldiers came over with hundreds of Longyan people escorted.
Looking around, most of these Long Yan people are well-dressed people. It seems that they are all wealthy families in Jinghua!
"Let us go!"
"You bunch of barbarians!"
"Ironwood City, you traitor, what did our Long Yan do to you! You..."
As soon as these people came out, they all started to curse.
"Where did you catch them?"
Tiemucheng's eyes lit up.
"Hahahaha Khan, the city must be besieged. These rich people will naturally find opportunities to escape. However, they never thought that it was a trap I left for them. Khan, these are all dragon flames. There are reputable people, some of whom are relatives of the emperor. If they are used to open the way, the Longyan people will never dare to shoot." Zhongxing Yue laughed.
Originally, Tiemucheng was a little desperate, but after hearing Zhongxingyue's words, hope suddenly came to him.
"It's better for Longyan people to understand Longyan people, military advisor. If you break the city, I will remember you as the first one!"
Zhong Xingyue smiled and nodded. He didn't care whether he took the first credit or not, as long as he could avenge Long Yan, that's all!
Many years ago, Long Yanren took something from him, so he would get it back twice as much from Long Yanren!
As long as he can achieve his goal, he will do anything!
Hatred is so terrible.
…
The Mongols were repelled, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, they also realized that the skinny scholar in front of them was not a simple character.
At first, he was very dissatisfied with Yu Qian, but now, Zhao Yan admires him so much.
Regardless of whether he came up with the idea to repel the Mongolian army, the fact that all the literati were running for their lives and he was the only one to go upstream was worthy of their admiration.
At this moment, the soldiers were resting, but Yu Qian was not. He was still checking the city defenses on the city wall.
The fire on the city wall has been extinguished, but the smell of kerosene still lingers in the air.
The pungent smell made Yu Qian frown.
The city wall was sealed with fire for defense, and then the engineering vehicles went straight to the city gate. It seemed that there were masters in the Mongolian army.
The fire attack is not terrible, but Yu Qian is worried that they will come up with some more vicious plans.
"Master Yu! There's a situation! Look over there!"
Hearing the scout's shout, Yu Qian quickly looked towards the Mongolian military camp.
When he saw the driven Long Yanren, Yu Qian felt a chill in his heart. What he was most worried about had happened.
Now that the city gate was wide open, he originally wanted to defend it with fire guns, but now that Long Yanren was in front, it was difficult for them to shoot. Let’s not talk about the identities of these people. Even if they are ordinary people, if they shoot casually here, the city will probably be in chaos.
The popular sentiment he had just stabilized would definitely collapse again.
At this time, the two brothers Zhao Yan and Zhao Hui also climbed onto the tower.
"Master Yu, what's going on?"
The two asked nervously.
Yu Qian didn't say anything, just gestured with his head.
Seeing the hundreds of Long Yan people in the distance, the two generals raised their eyebrows, especially Zhao Hui.
He recognized that those Long Yan people were the ones who went out from the south gate.
"This... I was careless. If I hadn't let them out, we wouldn't be facing this situation." Zhao Hui blamed himself.
"Okay, General Zhao, now is not the time to blame ourselves. We have to find a way quickly. Otherwise, if the Mongolian army enters the city, Beijing will be devastated."
Yu Qian sighed.
He also knew that this situation was inevitable.
"What can we do? We can't shoot at the people, right?"
Zhao Yan said helplessly.
As the three of them were talking, the Mongolian army had already advanced to less than 500 meters from the city gate.
"Actually, there is nothing to think about now. It is just a question of whether to shoot or not. If we don't shoot, the Mongols will enter the city and massacre our people. If we shoot, we will be charged with killing our compatriots. Moreover, There are not only common people inside, but also kings and nobles. If we lose this battle, all of us will die, and if we win, most of us may die afterward."
Yu Qian said leisurely.
After hearing Yu Qian's words, everyone lowered their heads. They all understood this.
"Killing one person can save ten thousand people. There is no need to consider this. Don't worry, two generals. The order to shoot was given by Yu Qian. If anyone is held responsible in the future, I will bear the responsibility alone!"
"Master Yu..."
Seeing the determined expression on Yu Qian's face, the two brothers Zhao Yan and Zhao Hui fell silent.
At this moment, they actually still have a sense of survival. Unexpectedly, when it comes to dying for the righteousness, these two generals are not as decisive as any scholar.
