The scene of the war became grand and tragic again.
This is already considered a total charge.
Everyone knows that this will be the last battle.
Ironwood City's troops are approaching the city this time. Whether they can achieve final success depends on this battle.
The final battle!
This time, the momentum of the Mongolian army was different from the two charges.
They were shouting, and they didn't know what they were shouting. Their eyes were gleaming.
Even though people continued to die around them, they remained unmoved. There was only one target in their eyes, which was Jinghua City!
Failure or failure!
They have almost no way out...
As long as they can be the first to rush into the city, they will have a lifetime of glory and wealth!
The Mongolian soldiers rushed towards Jinghua City like crazy, while Long Yan's artillery and firecrackers kept shooting at the Mongolian army.
Although Long Yan was very skilled in three-stage shooting, the Mongolian army was outnumbered after all. Moreover, this time they did not choose to concentrate their attacks, but surrounded Jinghua.
The scattered attacks also weakened Long Yan's city defense strength. Now, each of Long Yan's city gates is defended by less than 5,000 people.
On average, for every five thousand people, there are 25,000 Mongolian troops to defend. However, the Mongolian army will not obediently divide the army into four equal parts.
They will choose city gates with weak defense capabilities to focus on attacking.
Although the initial plan was not successfully realized, the combat discipline of the Mongolian army still existed despite being trained by Ironwood City for so many years.
Catapults, ladders, siege engines...
Not only the equipment, but the fighting quality of the Mongolian soldiers also caused great trouble to the Longyan City defense army.
For the people on horseback, hunting is their basic skill. The range of fire muskets is about 300 to 400 steps, while the range of the Mongolian army's bows and arrows reaches 150 steps!
Because they were riding fast horses, the Mongolian army was able to approach the city wall at the fastest speed. In the process, they were naturally able to avoid Long Yan's artillery fire to a large extent. When they reached their shooting distance, they Then they began to organize soldiers to cover the soldiers on the city wall with arrows.
flexibility!
At this time, mobility, which was not important in siege warfare, showed their natural advantage.
"beat!"
"Get it right for me!"
On the wall of Jinghua, the guard was already anxious and shouting everywhere.
Continue like this……
The hit rate is too low!
And on the contrary...
The combat effectiveness of these Mongolian armies was outrageously strong.
Although the accuracy and lethality of the arrows were far inferior to those of the fire guns, they also caused considerable casualties to the Longyan defenders.
Coupled with the fire attack, many places on the wall were already in flames.
It’s too late to put out the fire!
Fortunately, Yu Qian had already made preparations and had temporarily prepared a defense team organized by the people. They were responsible for transporting artillery fire, arrows, and putting out fires.
This prevented the fire from burning in an uncontrollable direction...
The battle situation became anxious.
The Mongolian army is not 100% sure of defeating the enemy, and the Long Yan army is not 100% sure of being able to defend it either.
Charge after wave.
Wave after wave of injuries.
Wave after wave of changes in troops.
A wave of fire was extinguished again...
Now, it's all about the willpower of the two teams.
Under the city, the Mongols fell one after another, and on the city wall, Longyan soldiers were constantly being carried off the battlefield after being hit by arrows.
After waves of intense offensives, the Mongolian army finally put a ladder on the city wall of Beijing.
Mongolian soldiers lined up, some were shot to death by firecrackers, and some were thrown down ladders by rolling logs.
After attacking continuously for more than an hour, the Mongols finally rushed to the city wall.
Then, the two sides started a hand-to-hand battle, with white knives going in and red knives coming out. Soon, the walls of Jinghua were stained red with blood. "
"Hold it! Hold it all to me!"
"Protect Mr. Yu!"
Zhao Yan shouted loudly while fighting the Mongolian army. At this moment, besides the city defense, what he was most worried about was Yu Qian.
No matter how capable Yu Qian is, he is still a scholar after all. Even a rough guy with good martial arts may not be able to survive such a cruel battle, let alone Yu Qian, a scholar with no strength.
But now Jinghua obviously cannot leave him.
Yu Qian has become the backbone of these people.
If he died...
Jinghua is in complete chaos!
Yu Qian was indeed a little powerless when facing such a bloody scene.
He also wanted to rush forward and fight with the Mongols, but when he swung his knife to chop, the Mongolian soldier caught him with a backhand and flicked the knife away from his hand.
Just when the Mongolian soldier's scimitar struck him, Zhao Hui rushed over and chopped the Mongolian soldier with one knife.
"Master Yu, this is dangerous, please leave immediately!"
Zhao Hui said anxiously.
"No! I want to fight alongside you!"
Yu Qian said sonorously and was about to get the knife, but was stopped by Zhao Hui.
"Master Yu, risking your life on the battlefield is the job of us gangsters. Your mission has been completed. If you don't withdraw, we will send troops to protect you, which will be a waste of our combat power!"
Zhao Hui was very anxious.
Yu Qian, who was still willing to fight, suddenly became silent when he heard this.
At this time, he finally realized that in a real hand-to-hand battle, he would be a liability.
"good!"
He finally nodded, agreed and stepped back.
A group of people protected him from leaving.
"Brothers, kill!"
Without Yu Qian, Zhao Hui had no scruples and led his men to fight hard with the Mongolian army.
The city wall was once occupied by the Mongolian army, but would soon be knocked down by the Longyan people, and the two sides were engaged in a tug-of-war.
The losses on both sides were heavy. For now, there is no real winner in this war.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, three hours came.
After paying the price of more than 10,000 people, the Jinghua City Defense Army finally stood their ground, while the Mongolian army did not dare to attack again after paying the price of more than 30,000 people.
"Great Khan, our trip is destined to be in vain. Great Khan, please retreat. The leading troops of the Youzhou Army have arrived. If we don't retreat, they will surround us here."
A look of sadness flashed in Zhong Xingyue's eyes and he persuaded.
"I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in! Long Yan's army can't hold on any longer. In another hour, I will definitely be able to capture Jinghua!" Tiemucheng shouted angrily.
This war will cost him how many soldiers and how much food and fodder he will consume!
If we withdraw from this battle...
He has been unable to recover for many years!
grassland……
There is not such a large population for him to be so wasteful.
"Great Khan, we Longyan have an old saying: If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. If you leave now, there will be opportunities in the future. If the main force of the Youzhou Army arrives, our entire army will be annihilated. At that time, just one o'clock The chance is gone." BOC Yue advised.
"Withdraw troops!"
Of course Ironwood City also knows this truth.
Clenching his fists, he gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
at the same time……
There was still endless frustration in his heart...
Why?
Why couldn't he succeed even if Liu Zheng wasn't in Long Yan?
Is this fate?
The Mongolian army withdrew from Jinghua, and the defenders of Jinghua all breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, it was really thrilling. If the Mongolian army attacked for another hour, Jinghua would definitely fall!
Unexpectedly, they withdrew their troops at the most critical moment.
Although Zhao Yan and Zhao Hui were military generals, they could guess that King Qin's army was approaching.
At this time, Yu Qian also walked up from the city.
"Two generals!"
"Master Yu!"
Both parties saluted and said hello.
"In a deadly battle, more than half of our soldiers were killed or injured. It's time to take a good rest and let them rest. The city wall is also very damaged and needs to be repaired..."
Zhao Yan said sadly.
"I'm afraid it's not yet time. The battle may not end like this." Yu Qian looked into the distance and sighed.
Hearing Yu Qian's words, the two generals became energetic:
"Master Yu, what do you mean by this? Didn't the Mongols withdraw?"
"Master Yu means..."
Yu Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said, "Do you know why the Mongolian army retreated?"
"It should be our King Qin's army who has arrived."
Zhao Yan said.
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, Yu Qian said nothing, but looked at Zhao Yan with a complicated look.
At first, Zhao Yan didn't know what Yu Qian meant, but he quickly realized it.
"Master Yu, you mean that King Qin's army will... not be able to do so, right?"
Zhao Yan looked in disbelief. King Qin's army rebelled. Isn't this a big deal?
"I don't want this to happen either, but think about it, which army is the closest to Jinghua?" Yu Qian asked.
"Youzhou Army..."
After saying these three words, Zhao Yan was stunned.
Zhao Hui also looked livid.
Youzhou Army!
Do they really dare to rebel?
this……
Yu Qian leisurely looked at the Mongolian army leaving in embarrassment.
What an eventful time...
It’s really one wave after another...
Could it be...
Is Long Yan really so unable to withstand the hardship without Liu Shoufu?
"alert!"
"The entire army is on alert!"
"alert!"
As soon as Yu Qian's guess came out, the two guards began nervously issuing orders.
The soldiers who had just breathed a sigh of relief were tense again.
