As soon as the sun rose, Lou Su ordered his troops to gather in order, led by Wanyan Huonv, and prepare to meet Wang Xiaolie's approaching army. An army of 10,000 people cannot hide it no matter what. Lou Su got the news yesterday and made arrangements accordingly.
Zhe Keqiu led the Fuzhou soldiers to continue attacking the city. Wanyan Huonv led the Jurchens to assist Xiao Haohu and blocked the reinforcements in the west of the city. As long as the reinforcements are blocked for five or six days, Shaanzhou City should be destroyed. As long as the city is broken, the Jin army will have an absolute advantage.
Since last night, the drumbeat of the siege Jin army has not stopped. The Jin army rushed towards the city head one after another, regardless of casualties, and rushed towards the city head with their lives lost. In the early morning, hundreds of Jin troops invaded the city, but the city gate was still firmly guarded by the Song troops.
Zhang Chi and Chi Yuping each guarded a section of the street and fought with the Jin army entering the city. The streets were stained red with blood, and if you stepped on them, you would slip if you were not careful. The people in the city organized themselves and voluntarily participated in the battle. Suddenly, there were shouts of killing everywhere in the city of Shaanzhou.
After repelling the Jin army entering the city, Chi Yuping held a long knife in his hand and looked at the street in front of him. His eyes were bright red and there was no other color. There were corpses lying on the ground in grotesque shapes. From the houses on both sides of the street, people poked their heads out from time to time to take a look at the street. On the roof, people from Shaanxi Province stood in twos and threes. Some people held bows, while others held bricks and tiles, nervously staring at the city wall.
Chi Yuping no longer remembers how long he has been killing on this street. I just remember that since entering the city, this kind of fighting has never stopped. More and more Jin troops entered the city day by day, killing one wave and another, as if there was no end.
A subordinate came to Chi Yuping's side and whispered: "Commander, do you want to take a rest while there is no Jin Army?"
Chi Yuping shook his head violently and said: "No need. Instruct the soldiers not to move their positions unless the Jin soldiers sit down for a rest. The Jin soldiers may come in at any time. The sooner you block them, the easier it will be to eliminate them. .”
The subordinate whispered his promise and hurried to the back to deliver the order.
Yan Ping waved the big hook in his hand and hooked a golden soldier to the top of the city. The soldier next to him chopped off his head with a knife and kicked his head off the city wall. The golden soldiers outside the city are like ants, and the ladders are almost all over Shaanzhou City. No matter how they fight in the city, the Jin army seems to be endlessly killing them.
Yan Ping gritted his teeth and was about to swing the big hook in his hand when he suddenly felt his feet slip and almost fell down on the city wall. After holding on to the parapet and taking a few breaths, Yan Ping felt his eyes were dazzled, his legs were trembling, and he could hardly stand. In the past two days, Yan Ping has just been holding on for a while. In fact, Yan Ping has exhausted all his energy. As long as he stops, he may never wake up.
Li Yanxian stood on the city tower holding a long bow, looking at the Jin army outside the city, his face sinking. He could see that the Jin army was determined to capture Shaanzhou. Yuanyuan and Shao Ling were blocked by the Jin army and could not get closer for a while. On the other side, Zhang Qi's three thousand troops did not dare to get too close and had already reached the nearby mountains. The reinforcements are right in front of us, but we can't rely on them.
Looking back at the city wall, there was fierce fighting everywhere. Every time the Jin army breaks through, a wave of Jin troops will enter. The defenders on the city tried their best to block the gap, while the reinforcements sent by Wang Xiaolie wiped out the Jin army entering the city in the shortest possible time. Stories like this happen all the time, giving the defenders no chance to breathe.
Such sieges are rare. The Jin army did not care about casualties at all. As long as the city was not broken, the drum beat of the attack would not stop. How many Jin soldiers have been killed these days? Li Yanxian couldn't count them all. All I know is that the Jin army attacking the city seems to be dying endlessly.
Chi Yuping held a long knife and looked at the street coldly with his eyes. How long has it been since Jin soldiers entered the city? The time of a stick of incense? Or a quarter of an hour? Or an hour? Chi Yuping could not count them. I just felt like I couldn't see anything else in my eyes, just blood.
Suddenly, a shout of murder came from the houses next to the street. Chi Yuping seemed to hear someone shouting that the Jin army was entering the city from the south. Raising the steel knife in his hand, Chi Yuping shouted sharply: "Kill with me!"
After saying that, he took a big step and headed south. The soldiers behind him were no longer in formation and rushed straight behind him.
Not far away, he ran into a Jin Jun rushing towards him. Chi Yuping raised the long knife in his hand and struck him on the neck suddenly. At this time, Chi Yuping felt that it was superfluous to say a word.
There is no main road in this direction, and Jin troops can already be seen walking through the streets. Some of the people held weapons and some held various tools to fight against the Jin army. Some climbed to the roof and uncovered the tiles to defeat the Jin army below.
Chi Yuping and his subordinates collided head-on with the Jin army entering the city, and they fought together in an instant. I don't know how long they killed. It wasn't until all the Jin army fell in a pool of blood that everyone took a breath. It wasn't until he stopped that Chi Yuping felt pain in his shoulder. Looking closely, he saw that he had been slashed on the shoulder, his bones were exposed, and blood covered half of his body.
Just when he was about to take a breath, the shouting of death suddenly rang again. Most of the people in this area had died in the battle, but the Jin army was not hindered and rushed over quickly. Occasionally, there are still people on the roofs, and the tiles knocked down are no longer lethal to the Jin army.
The general beside him said: "Commander, the place here is narrow and not conducive to fighting. Why don't we retreat a little and go to the street."
Chi Yuping is agreeing. A woman on the roof tried her best to throw tiles at the Jin army. Seeing that the Song army was retreating, she shouted: "If you don't fight with the golden dogs, where will you retreat? How can you be worthy of being so greedy for life and afraid of death?" Li Observation!”
Chi Yuping was agitated and understood immediately. If he retreats, more Jin troops will enter the city. He glanced at the woman in the room, raised his long knife and said sternly: "Kill! Anyone who dares to take a step back, behead him!"
On the tower, Li Yanxian let out a sigh of relief when he saw Chi Yuping leading his subordinates to face the golden man. The defenders on the city had tried their best, and the gap in the south of the city could not be blocked for the time being. If Chi Yuping retreats again, it will be very dangerous.
At this moment, someone on the city shouted: "Look there! Reinforcements are coming!"
Li Yanxian raised his head and looked to the west of the city, and saw a large group of Song troops marching towards Shaanzhou City. The flags were fluttering, covering the sky and the sun, which was far different from when Shao Ling came two days ago. I knew in my heart that Wang Xiao must have arrived.
Seeing the reinforcements coming towards the city, the morale of the Song army on the city was greatly boosted, and they once again firmly defended the city wall.
Wanyan Huonv and a large group of Jurchens have arrived at Xiao Haohu's left wing, preparing to block the Song army coming for reinforcements. It can be seen that Shaanzhou City has reached its last moment. As long as he blocks the reinforcements for three to five days, or even one or two days, he may be able to break the city.
At a time when two armies are confronting each other, how important is a city? It is equivalent to at least 10,000 elite soldiers, or even 20,000 or 30,000. Whoever holds the city of Shaanzhou will have the advantage in this war. Although the size of Wang Xiaolie's troops was not as good as that of the Jin Army, with the addition of the city, he was firmly in the upper hand.
Lou stayed in front of the camp and paid close attention to the battlefield situation through the watchtower. Zhe Keqiu worked very hard these days, constantly breaking through the city wall. Although Li Yanxian defended extremely tenaciously, one day his troops would eventually be exhausted.
Wang Xiaolie was in the middle of the army and saw Wanyan Huonv guarding his way forward. He said to Cao Zhiyan: "You take two thousand armors and one thousand infantry to resist the Jin army blocking the front. I will lead the army and save the city. Remember, if you cannot withstand it, you will be charged by the Jin army." If my army is disrupted, it will be a big disaster! If the Jin army comes and kills it together, it is not uncommon for the whole army to be destroyed!"
Cao Zhiyan took a deep breath, crossed his hands and said, "Zhizhi Anxin! My subordinates will not let Jin Lu get his wish!"
Wang Xiaolie nodded. Looking at Cao Zhiyan, he said: "I'm leaving it to you this time! We still arrived too late. We can't save Shaanzhou if we don't take risks!"
After saying that, he turned around and led the army towards the city.
Cao Zhiyan led two thousand iron bloods, and the two wings were protected by the remaining one thousand infantry. After adjusting their formation, they headed straight towards Wanyan Huonu.
Wanyan Huonu looked at the thousands of Song troops rushing over and was stunned for a moment. Said: "The Song army is desperate? Thousands of people are charging at my army. What's the point? Zhejingluo is about to attack the city. Don't let the Song people attack his back!"
After saying that, he sent two thousand gold soldiers forward to fight Cao Zhiyan who was rushing over. He organized his troops and prepared to attack Wang Xiaolie from the side.
