The Mongolian troops in the city saw Totuohar stripped naked and tied to a cart, and their morale suffered a huge blow.
In the camp outside the city, inside the Chinese army's tent, Zhao Tai made a sand table by himself.
Wu Xian looked at it and said, "Everyone, come around and take a look!"
Zhao Tai pointed to the city on the sand table and said with a smile: "I am pressed for time, so it is not very beautiful, but the general situation of Pi County can still be reflected from above!"
Wu Xian stroked his beard under his chin, nodded slightly, and said against his will: "Well, it's clear at a glance!"
Zhao Tai saw that everyone understood clearly, so he picked up a wooden stick and pointed out: "Yesterday, there was no problem with the way we attacked the city. However, if we hesitated and only attacked one place, the soldiers and horses on the walls of the city could send troops and horses without restraint. Reinforcement means that our brothers who have attacked the city are still unable to open up the situation!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded slightly and felt that what Zhao Tai said was reasonable. A general said: "Yesterday, our troops rushed to the top of the city and indeed found an endless stream of enemy reinforcements!"
Wu Xian looked at Zhao Tai and said, "Xuan Xiang, tell me how to fight!"
Zhao Tai nodded and glanced at everyone, "The frontal offensive deployment remains unchanged. We will fight today just as we fought yesterday!"
Zhao Tai took the wooden pole and clicked it on the sand table, "But today, in addition to the frontal attack, a force of troops will be arranged to attack on the east side of the city and on the canal, so that the enemy troops on these two walls cannot fully reinforce the North City."
Wu Xian immediately ordered two generals to take charge of attacking the West City and the East City.
Zhao Tai continued: "The last one is Nancheng! In order to prevent the enemy from abandoning the city and escaping, an ambush needs to be arranged outside the city!"
"We are surrounded by three and one is missing. I am familiar with this, but I didn't expect it to be used on the Mongolian army today!" Wu Xian smiled and said, "This task can be given to my cavalry!"
Zhao Tai finally said: "Yesterday we attacked the city, and in the evening we annihilated the Mongolian army who came out of the city to attack, and captured thousands of Mongolian soldiers Totuohar alive. Now the morale of the troops in the city must be shaken, so without further delay, everyone, please work hard, we will fight Enter Pi County and have dinner in the city!"
"Here!" Upon hearing this, all the generals immediately clasped their fists together, their armors making a clanging sound.
At this time, the Jin Army artillery group outside the city continued to bombard the city wall.
Compared to yesterday, the section of city wall that was smashed looked even more dilapidated.
Yang You and others on the top of the city had not yet recovered from the shock of Tuotuo Ha'er being captured. They saw that the Jin soldiers below the city had already set up their formation and made up their minds to attack Pi County.
"Damn it, fight them!" Yang You gritted his teeth and ordered in a deep voice.
At this moment, a gunshot sounded outside the city, and the Jin army launched an attack on Pi County from three directions: east, west, and north.
This time Zhao Tai also arranged his loyal troops in the queue. When Xu Erzhu heard the military order, he raised his sword high and shouted sternly: "Attack!"
"Brothers, the attack on the city has been accomplished!" the officers shouted, taking the lead and leading their subordinates to press towards the city.
The attacks from the east and west were mainly to contain the defenders' strength. The Jin soldiers in the west still focused on attacking the section of the city wall that had been blasted by the artillery group.
In addition, Wengcheng also became the focus of the attack. The Zhongyi Army, which had newly joined the siege, pushed a huge battering ram and served as the main attack.
The Jin army still followed yesterday's routine, using archers to suppress both ends of the attacked city wall and blocking the Mongolian army from coming for reinforcements. At the same time, the siege troops took advantage of the heavy losses of the Mongolian army on that section of the city wall to quickly approach the city wall and then climb up. .
The brothers of the Wuwei Army were familiar with the road and quickly rushed to the top of the city. However, Yang You was also prepared. When the artillery bombardment was bombarded, he withdrew the defenders and waited for the Jin army to attack. Then he pressed the elites. Both sides were immediately at the top of the city. Start a fierce fight.
At this time, when the battle on the city wall was fierce, the loyal troops who rushed to the Wengcheng had already cut off the iron locks of the suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge fell with a "bang".
The loyal soldiers wearing infantry armor and carrying iron pockets did not avoid the arrows from the city head. They held their shields and pushed the battering ram to hit the city gate again and again.
At the same time, two teams of men and horses erected climbing ladders on both sides of the city gate. The soldiers climbed up to the top of the city and fought fiercely with Sergeant Li's soldiers.
The gate of Pi County was in disrepair for a long time. After being hit many times, it finally withstood the impact. It was knocked open with a "bang". The loyal soldiers outside the city suddenly cheered and pushed the battering ram through the door opening to hit the city inside. Door.
When Yang You saw the Jin army attacking Wengcheng, he was so shocked that his liver and gallbladder burst. He shouted: "Block the city gate and take back Wengcheng!"
However, the morale of the Mongolian army defending the city was low, and the Jin army was attacking everywhere. The Mongolian army was restrained. The Mongolian army who rushed to help failed to recapture the Wengcheng. Instead, they were pushed to the gate tower by the Jin army.
"Hit me!" Xu Erzhu shouted loudly, pulling the rope himself and swinging the huge siege hammer high back. Then as soon as the rope was loosened, the huge iron-wrapped wood slammed into the city gate, straight behind the city gate. The Mongolian army collided like waves.
"Wanhu, the city gate is about to be breached, and the city can't be defended anymore. Escape!" An officer ran over, grabbed Yang You, and shouted, "If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
When Yang You saw more and more golden soldiers at the top of the city, he couldn't help but sigh, and finally gritted his teeth and ordered, "Retreat!"
After finishing speaking, he, surrounded by his subordinates, went down to the city with his sword in hand, and then galloped to the south city with hundreds of cavalry.
At this time, the South City Gate and the Wengcheng Gate were opened, and the suspension bridge was lowered. Yang You led five hundred cavalry and galloped out of Pi County.
He glanced back at the city while galloping, then urged his horses to gallop south.
Pi County was the place where Kuaduan troops gathered when they attacked the Southern Song Dynasty. There were many warehouses and military supplies in the city.
Zhao Tai let go of Nancheng without fighting in order to leave a retreat channel for the defenders, so as to weaken the resistance will of the Mongolian troops in the city and prevent them from being destroyed together.
Of course, Zhao Tai will not let the defenders in the city escape easily. The Mongols will soon attack the Jin Kingdom in a large scale. The more Mongolian troops they eliminate in Shandong this time, the more advantageous it will be for defending the Mongolian offensive in winter.
At this time, Yang You led five hundred cavalry, rushed out of Nancheng, and galloped all the way south. The cavalry ran for thirty miles in one breath. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, Yang You reined in the horses and ordered in a deep voice, "Rest here for a while. Let me sort out my thoughts."
After speaking, he dismounted and sat on the ground. The cavalry behind him also dismounted and lay on the ground panting.
Yang You quickly thought about where he should flee if Pi County was lost.
It now seems that one is to bypass Pi County and run north to Jinan, wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Hebei, and then go south with the reinforcements to regain Pi County. The other is to run south to collect soldiers and horses on the north bank of the Huaihe River to prevent the Jin army from cutting off Li Fen. And Kuo Duan's way back.
Yang You is Yang Miaozhen's nephew and Li Fen's cousin. He gritted his teeth and already made a decision in his heart, "Get up and follow me south to Lianshui!"
At this time, he had just stood up, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly, which made him change his expression instantly, "No, the enemy cavalry is chasing us!"
