Chapter 184 Street Fighting
----------
"But why are the enemies still persisting? The number of enemies will never exceed 150,000. Their numbers are smaller than ours, and they can persist for such a long time. Why can't we persist?" Zhong Shidao scolded. Uploaded by a friend =

"The enemy, these grass bandits...they are different from ordinary grass bandits!" At this point, Qu Duan had no choice but to say such words.
After ten days of non-stop siege, these "grass bandits" were still able to persist. To be honest, Qu Duan was a little afraid in his heart. Not only him, but also the other soldiers of the Western Army were very afraid. The enemy was so determined.
, they are simply unwilling to continue fighting!
"Commander, I see that the enemy has really concentrated all their elites in Jinning City. It won't have much effect if we continue to attack like this, so we should stop." Zhe Ke begged.
"We will attack the city for another day tomorrow! Then the 200,000 troops will attack together. If we still can't break the city, then we will think of other ways." Master Zhong said.
At this moment, Lin Chong was wiping his sweat on top of the city wall. He stayed there for ten days without much rest and was always directing the battle. At first, he was worried that he could not stop it, but later he realized that there should be no problem. After ten days,
After the war of 2000 and 2007, these new recruits in Liangshan finally had some veteran qualities in them.
In terms of temperament, they became calm and relaxed, without the tension, anxiety, and fear before! In addition, these ten days also put the newly promoted generals to the test. Some generals have already highlighted it. Lin Chong has already
Dozens of outstanding generals were promoted on the front line.
"It's a pity that Yue Fei is not here. If he were here, he would have performed well." Lin Chong looked ahead and thought to himself.
"Commander, we don't have enough rocks!" At this moment, a battalion commander rushed to Lin Chong and said.
This battalion commander is the same Ma Yun who was in the reserve at the time. He was originally Lin Chong's personal soldier. He re-enlisted this time and performed well, and has been promoted to the position of battalion commander.
"Tear down all the houses around the city wall!" Lin Chong said.
"But if this happens, the people will be dissatisfied?" Ma Yun said.
"Tell the people that if the city is destroyed, they will only die. At this time, the people will be with us!" Lin Chong said.
In fact, there is no need to say anything at all, the people will actively cooperate with the soldiers to demolish the houses and move the stones and wood to the city walls. At this moment, no one wants the city to be destroyed, the soldiers are not willing, and the people are even more unwilling.
.If the city is broken, they
The people under the rule of these "thieves and bandits" will probably not be able to enjoy the good harvest. In addition, the military discipline of the Western Army is the worst in the Song Dynasty. Burning, killing and looting will be inevitable. But if we help Liangshan defend the city,
Liangshan's benevolence and righteousness will definitely compensate them in the future.
It was already late at night, but the enemy's attack did not stop at all. In the past few days, the enemy had added more than a dozen trebuchets, and they were still knocking down huge boulders on the city wall.
"Why didn't Yue Fei intercept the other party's food path outside?" Lin Chong said with a frown.
He didn't know that the Western Army was well prepared this time. When the 200,000-strong army came, they had already brought a month's worth of military rations with them, so they were not short of food at all, and there was no food transportation team for the time being. Yue Fei also wanted to intercept the food road.
Mission impossible.
That night, the attack seemed to have eased slightly, but when the sun rose the next day, the attack began to become extremely brutal. This time, the Zhongjia Army, Zhejia Army, Puzhou Soldiers and Horses, and the 200,000-strong army began to attack together again.
attack!
Half of the soldiers in Liangshan were resting. At this moment, these soldiers also got up in a hurry to resist the attack of the enemy army.
From morning to night, neither the Western Army soldiers nor the Liangshan soldiers had time to take a sip of water. The Western Army rushed up, and the Liangshan soldiers drove them down. When they rushed up again, the Liangshan soldiers drove them down again! The two armies counted
One hundred thousand people, everyone is fighting, everyone is killing the enemy.
"It seems that it is impossible to conquer Jinning City!" Master Zhong stood in the distance and sighed.
It was already the afternoon of the day. If Jinning City could not be conquered again, he would stop his uninterrupted attack for ten days and then find other ways to defeat the Liangshan bandits.
In the past ten days, the Western Army has suffered heavy losses. The original 200,000-strong army may now only have 150,000 left! If it weren’t for the prestige of Zhongshi Dao, the soldiers might have been unwilling to attack! Now he also has some
I can't suppress it anymore!
"The Liangshan bandits are indeed the great enemies of the country!" At this time, Zhe Kezhi came to his side and sighed.
The two of them looked at the city wall in the distance and felt that it was like a mountain. It was so difficult to move away.
"Hey, there seems to be some changes!" Master Zhong said suddenly.
"Hey!" Zhe Keqiu couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
It turned out that right in front, that section of the city wall began to fall, and countless stones fell. Although many Western soldiers were killed, both of them were filled with joy!
Jinning City is too ordinary to compare with such a real big city. Under such continuous fierce attacks, its city walls finally couldn't hold on! If such attacks continue, the city will definitely be broken!
"Come here, have all the trebuchets aim at that section of the city wall to attack! Let Qu Duan lead 30,000 elite soldiers and wait there, ready to enter the city at any time!" Zhong Shidao laughed.
The depression that lasted for ten days seemed to be finally coming to an end! After the city was defeated, Zhong Shidao did not believe that Liangshan could still withstand the attack of the Western Army!
boom!
Suddenly there was an earth-shaking loud noise, and before all the trebuchets could be aimed at that section of the city wall to attack, that section of the city wall began to completely collapse. Countless gravel fell, and then only countless Western troops were seen heading towards that section.
Bian charged away.
In Jinning City, Lin Chong had already seen the changes there, and was shocked! The city was actually broken! That section of the city wall had collapsed!
"Commander, what should I do?" Several soldiers nearby asked anxiously.
"Order the soldiers to retreat across the board and prepare for street fighting!" Lin Chong said decisively.
The city was destroyed not because our own troops were inferior to the opponent's, but because the city wall was too fragile and Liangshan's soldiers were still intact. In this case, let's fight the enemy in the streets.
So the street fighting, which was rare in the history of ancient city sieges, began. The Western Army soldiers continued to rush in through the gap in the city wall, while the Liangshan soldiers fought decisively with the enemy in the alleys, and fought with the enemy to seize every alley.
Right of ownership.
The results of the street fighting are obvious. Liangshan has an absolute advantage! First, their individual soldier quality is better than that of the Western Army, and another is that their familiarity with this place far exceeds that of the Western Army.
The sun is setting again, and the setting sun is like blood. The battle in Jinning City is becoming more and more cruel. Blood has been sprinkled all over the city. Corpses are everywhere. Countless soldiers have fallen, countless soldiers are crying, and there are countless soldiers.
As they advanced bravely, the Western Army suffered more and more casualties. The Western Army that originally rushed into Jinning City could no longer withstand it.
When he reported to Zhongshidao, Zhongshidao couldn't believe it and said: "How is this possible? We have already entered the city, can't we still defeat those grass bandits?"
While Zhong Shidao was still doubting, Liangshan had already gained an absolute advantage, and the Western troops who rushed in through the gap in the city wall were actually driven out.
Lin Chong decisively realized the difference between his own army and the Western Army. His own army just didn't have good generals, so it was difficult to fight in the field. However, the quality of the individual soldiers exceeded the opponent's, and the fighting will was far better than the opponent's. In this case, let's continue the street fighting!
As long as the street fighting continues, the enemy's casualties will become greater and greater!
Therefore, Lin Chong quickly issued an order to let the soldiers rest on the spot without blocking the gap and wait for the enemy to continue coming in.
All the soldiers of the Western Army have retreated from Jinning City, and they all fell to the ground at this moment, exhausted! Physical fatigue is secondary, and they are even more exhausted mentally!
This battle seems to have been lost! The Western Army, which has been fighting against the Xixia people for more than a hundred years, has been able to gain the upper hand, but now it has been defeated by the grass bandits.
The soldiers didn't want to get up and just wanted to lie there.
Zhongshi Dao, Zhe Keqiu's face was full of exhaustion. He didn't expect that the city was broken but it would have such a result!
"Commander, what should we do now?" Zhe Kezhi asked anxiously.
"Let the soldiers have a good rest, and then we will bypass Jinning City and go to other places! I don't believe that other cities are like Jinning City!" Master Zhong said.
"But, with more than 100,000 enemies staying here, how can we move forward?" Zhe Ke asked.
"When we advance, we will send troops to ambush all around. It would be best if they rush out! They have been defending the city for so many days, so they must not have many generals available." Master Zhong said.
"That's all! I wonder what's going on in Gaizhou City? Has Fengmei captured Gaizhou City?" Zhe Keqiu asked.
"I don't know. After so many days, Feng Mei didn't send anyone to report the news. Damn it! If it weren't for the fact that he is Tong Guan's confidant, I would have killed him long ago!" Zhong Shidao snorted coldly.
.
Zhong Shidao also thought that Feng Mei was relying on his status as Tong Guan's confidant, so he looked down on him, Zhong Shidao, so he did not come to report the news. But he did not know that Feng Mei had sent three men to report the news, so Zhong Shidao
They went to support him, but these soldiers and horses were blocked by Yue Fei.
It was already dark, and Yue Fei was hiding in a nearby forest, paying close attention to the situation here. He also sent many spies, and soon all kinds of intelligence came to him.
"Let the soldiers prepare for battle!" Yue Fei issued such an order for the first time in ten days.
"Are we going to attack the enemy?" Zhang Xian was extremely excited.
For ten days, the rest of the comrades have been fighting bloody battles, but they have been watching from the side. To be honest, all the soldiers have been suffocating. They can no longer bear it and are eager to go to the battlefield!
"That's right! Tell the soldiers, keep charging forward this time and never take a step back! Even if everyone is killed, you can't retreat! I will defeat you in one battle!" Yue Fei clenched the spear in his hand and said coldly.
The way.
"Okay!" Zhang Xian said excitedly.
Soon the order was issued to the three brigades. Yang Lin, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng became excited after receiving the order. They had been patient for the past ten days and wanted to charge. Originally, he and the others had been defeated by Yue Fei.
But in the past ten days, they have become more and more dissatisfied, thinking that Yue Fei is cowardly.
