Chapter 27 Siege
The rocket hit the iron sheet of the goose cart, making a "ding-ding" sound and being bounced away.
Nailed on the wooden stakes and wheels below, it did not immediately cause a fire.
But as more rockets swarmed in, the wooden pile began to burst into flames.
Upon seeing this, the Jin army immediately began to put out the fire.
The Jin army was well prepared. Before attacking the city, all the goose carts were filled with water in wooden barrels to prevent the Song army from attacking with fire.
In order to quickly extinguish the fire, the designer created a half-foot-wide gap under the goose cart. Water only needs to be poured out to extinguish the fire.
The small fire that had just started was extinguished by the water poured from the goose cart.
The Song army did not give up, but covered it with dense rockets, trying to nail any place where the goose cart and ladder could penetrate.
Fire coverage is to strive for the maximum probability.
Soon some of the goose carts were filled with rockets and began to burst into flames.
The fire in those parts was obviously difficult to extinguish, so the Jin army did not waste any more time, and those behind accelerated their advance.
Soon we entered the boundary of the moat.
Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the land of China has begun to cool down. The warm period of the previous thousand years has ended, and the winter in the Song Dynasty has become very cold.
The moat was frozen, and the Goose Car drove people over it without any reaction at all.
Seeing that the Jin army had advanced to the moat, the Song army stopped firing arrows.
The archers at the top of the city immediately retreated to make room for the stone-throwing soldiers.
When the goose cart carried the ladder across the moat and leaned against the city wall, Jin Jun inside the goose cart pulled hard on the strong rope. The ladder rose up from the goose cart, like a long arm that suddenly stretched out and rested on the city wall.
On the city wall.
The bottom of this kind of ladder is fixed on the goose cart, forming a certain angle with the city wall. It is very difficult for the soldiers above to lift the ladder down.
Moreover, the top of the ladder is still one meter away from the battlements, so it is certainly unrealistic for soldiers on the tower to lift it with their hands.
So the Song army started to hit it with stones, one stone after another, hitting the hole above the goose cart.
A Jin Army soldier who had just come out was hit by a stone falling from the sky. With a crunch, even his iron helmet was dented and his skull was cracked. He died on the spot and fell from the ladder of the goose cart.
The surrounding Jin troops immediately filled in.
The military discipline of the Jin Army is very strict. At this time, you can only go up. Anyone who retreats will definitely die after returning.
The soldiers from the Jin army behind immediately joined in, moving very fast, like nimble monkeys.
With a muffled bang, a huge stone rose from the ground, drew an arc in the air, and hit the city head.
The Jin army launched their trebuchets and began to attack the city with stone cannons.
Ten large trebuchets started running at the same time and smashed towards the top of the city.
Bang bang bang...
Immediately, five people were knocked to the ground. The Song soldier who was hit from the front was killed on the spot, and the others were shocked.
Three more went over the city wall, smashed into the city, hit the ground, bounced a few times on the ground, broke into pieces, and scattered all over the ground.
Wanyan Yinshuke shouted loudly: "Where's the ladder, drag them all up!"
"Still behind!"
Yin Shuke was furious: "Go and kill the commander who dispatches the ladder and replace him with someone else!"
"this……"
"yes!"
Not long after, a human head was brought up.
Wanyan Yinshuke said loudly: "Everyone has seen it, this is the fate of delaying the military plane!"
The Jin army shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Twenty more aerial ladders were pushed up from behind, all of which were combined with goose carts.
Yin Shuke said: "Why are there only twenty cars? Didn't you say there were fifty cars?"
"General Qi, there are only twenty vehicles!"
"Didn't I say there were 50 cars before?"
"Deputy Marshal Zong Wang transferred 25 vehicles, and we kept 25 here!"
Yin Shuke said: "Push them all up!"
"yes!"
When Zhang Bofen saw 20 more aerial ladders appearing under the city, he immediately said: "Zhentian Lei and Meng Huoyou are ready, the whole army is facing them, and we will fight them!"
The Song Army's logistics carried boxes of fire oil up, avoiding the stones thrown at them, and placed them at the top of the city.
At this time, people from the Jin army had already climbed up along the ladder. The first ones to climb up were shot down by the Song army's arrows. They made miserable screams and fell to the bottom of the tower, killing them on the spot.
The next ones will be added immediately.
About 40 people can fit into a goose cart, which is already very large.
Five goose cars were sent forward, which meant that the Jin army had 200 people coming at once.
Wanyan Yinshu's attack was obviously to allow the forwards to attract the firepower of the Song army as much as possible, so that the pressure on the subsequent main force would be reduced and the siege would be more powerful.
This is also true. The Song Army's rockets covered the five vehicles at the front, two of which were already on fire, and the Jin Army inside all escaped.
Some of those who escaped were immediately killed by stones falling from the city wall.
In the gap between the Song army and the forwards fighting, the goose cart from behind has been pushed quickly.
Strong soldiers of the Jin Army rushed forward pushing the goose cart.
"Quick! Rockets ready!"
At this time, part of the city head was occupied by slingers, and the space left for archers was significantly reduced.
The second wave of rocket coverage has naturally weakened somewhat.
20 goose carts arrived at the city, and the ladders were stretched out.
About five goose carts were hit by rockets in their flammable parts. The Jin Army soldiers pushing the carts behind immediately stepped forward to extinguish the fire, while the Jin Army soldiers inside roared and climbed up with their shields.
The goose carriage also arrived, the ladder was set up, and the horn of the Jin army's charge sounded.
Yin Shuke shouted: "Attack!"
He gave an order, and more than two thousand Jin troops rushed towards the tower like a black torrent.
The main force of the Jin army behind began to shout: "Attack! Attack! Attack!"
The tens of thousands of troops sounded like huge waves rolling in, as if they were about to crush the walls of Bianjing City at any time.
The archers of the Song Army began to fire freely, and overwhelming arrows appeared in the sky, as if a dark cloud was pressing down.
The arrows hit the Jin army's armor and made a tinkling sound.
Unlucky Jin Army soldiers were shot in the face, or in weakly protected areas.
What's more, the arrows were blocked by the Jin army's armor and couldn't hurt them at all.
Not long after, the siege team from behind had already arrived at the foot of the tower.
At a glance, it looks like a dense swarm of insects, starting to climb up the ladder.
Stones were thrown down one by one, killing each one.
Next to the archers, there were people holding long spears and stabbing down. They stabbed every Jin Army soldier who came up.
For a time, people kept falling down from the tower.
In just a quarter of an hour, nearly a hundred people in the Jin army had died.
The Song Army also had a hard time. The Jin Army's trebuchets kept hitting the tower. The Song Army defended the tower in fear, and from time to time the defenses in some places were broken open.
