As soon as the sky was dawn, a muffled thunder sounded from afar. When the sound of the war drums came, Li Yanqing, who had just woken up in the military yamen, suddenly changed his face. The Jin soldiers were about to attack the city. Thinking of the sneak attack by the Jin soldiers last night, Li Yanqing suddenly felt that the Jin soldiers were a little anxious and deceived the opponent's emperor and could play with them calmly, but the Jin soldiers started to attack the city without getting anything, which was not in common sense.

‘Is it?’ Li Yanqing suddenly thought of Yan Qing’s mysterious mission. He began to vaguely feel that perhaps Yan Qing’s mission had been successful and a plague broke out in the Jin camp.

Only in this way can it be explained why the Jin soldiers were so eager to attack the city. They wanted to plunder and retreated north.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing became secretly excited. He strode to the order and said, "Tell me my order, all the troops will come to the city and prepare to fight to the death with the Jin soldiers!"

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’ The loud drum sound was ringing, and the huge drum sound echoed over the capital, which was also an order to assemble.

The capital began to mobilize in full. A team of soldiers ran out of the barracks, wearing armor and holding spears in their hands, and ran towards the city with murderous intent. Forty thousand soldiers had already 20,000 soldiers on the city, but now another 20,000 soldiers rushed to the city.

At the same time, 80,000 militias also began to gather in their respective posts. Among the 80,000 militias, 30,000 were reserve troops of the North City, and there were 10,000 people on the other three walls, while the remaining 20,000 were logistics support troops, responsible for transporting supplies, transporting wounded soldiers, delivering food in the city, etc. If the Jin soldiers only attacked the North City, they would mainly be responsible for the support of the North City.

Infected by the intense drum sound, not only the militia, but also hundreds of thousands of residents in the city were mobilized, and they had money and strength to work, and they all walked out of their homes to prepare for the death battle with the Jin soldiers.

Li Yanqing rushed to the north city, and forty catapults and thirty fire cannons were installed on the north city head. These were defensive heavy weapons removed from the south city wall of the outer city. All were installed on the north city head. The buildings in the other three outer cities had not been demolished yet, and they could barely fight in small battles, but if it was a large-scale attack, it would not be enough. It could only be outside the north city. This is also the reason why the Jin soldiers demolished the city. Otherwise, it would be difficult to pass through narrow alleys just by siege ladders, let alone large siege weapons such as nest cars and cloud ladders.

The catapults on the top of the North City have been repeatedly tested, and they are basically brand new catapults, and there will be no problems with at least a dozen rounds of projection.

“Is the fire-proof soil ready?”

Li Yanqing walked around and saw no mud bags. He couldn't help but ask with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Qing stepped forward and bowed and said, "The dirt bags will be very messy in the city. I put them under the city. If you need it, you can get to the city at any time."

"no!"

Li Yanqing flatly refused, "Once turmeric oil appears on the top of the city, it must be buried immediately. It will be too late. The soil must be placed on the top of the city, and ten bags can be placed close to the female wall every thirty steps."

Li Yanqing's military orders were like mountains, and Zhang Qing did not dare to delay any more and immediately ordered the militia to transport mud bags to the city.

When Li Yanqing came to the western section of North City, he found that there were too few crossbows. He immediately said to Xu Ning: "Come all the crossbows in South City are here!"

Xu Ning said carefully: "I'm afraid there will be catapults in Nancheng."

"The possibility of Nancheng is not high, just leave a few less aircraft. Beicheng needs bed crossbows to deal with nesting vehicles and catapults!"

Xu Ning nodded and immediately arranged for someone to transport the bed crossbow.

At this time, another sideline found Li Yanqing, "Report to the commander, hundreds of thousands of people in the city have left their homes and asked to participate in the battle to defend the city. General Cao doesn't know what to do? Please give instructions from the commander!"

Li Yanqing was in a big way. In fact, the army defending the city was enough. Forty thousand regular troops and eighty thousand militia were more than enough for an inner city. Moreover, the opponent was likely to only attack the northern city, even if a few months of protracted war was enough. If hundreds of thousands of people joined in, it would be too much or too little.

But the enthusiasm of hundreds of thousands of people cannot be poured into a basin of cold water. When Li Yanqing thought of the 'a basin of cold water', he immediately lit up. He immediately said to the side general: "Go and tell General Cao that the Jin soldiers may attack the inner city, and let the people be responsible for putting fires in the city, so there is no need to defend the city."

"Abide by the order!" He was about to bow and hurried away.

Li Yanqing continued to inspect the city head. Except for the two defects of mud bags and bed crossbows, the other preparations were sufficient and meticulous. There were special surveillance soldiers on the city head, specifically focusing on the Jin soldiers' thunder and thunder to prevent the Jin soldiers from thunder and thunder from exploding the city gate in the chaos.

In addition, a thousand Flying Fire Thunder pitchers have been in place. So far, the Firearms Bureau has created 1,100 Flying Fire Thunders, of which 800 are iron chain thunders and 300 are rope thunders. This ensures that every pitcher has a Flying Fire Thunder. Whether it can succeed depends on their performance on the spot.

‘Dongdongdongdong’

‘Woo’

The slow and dull drum sound came from the north, accompanied by the low sound of deer antlers, and the black Jin soldiers finally appeared in the sight of the soldiers guarding the city. In front was a 50,000 army, and the 50,000 army was divided into five square formations, with flags like clouds and spears like forests, winding towards the south, like five huge carpets floating on the water, fluctuating up and down.

There were tens of thousands of murderous cavalry behind, mixed with huge nest chariots and trenchers, rumbling in the wilderness, which was particularly shocking.

This time, the Jin soldiers dispatched 50,000 elite troops and 40,000 reserve troops, a total of 90,000 troops, nearly a thousand siege ladders, hundreds of heavy siege aircraft and dozens of nest vehicles. The Jin soldiers took out almost all the siege weapons and invested a huge amount of money, and were bound to win the capital.

The commander general changed from Wanyan Zongwang to Wanyan Loushi. Wanyan Xie did not believe that Wanyan Zongwang was invincible when he attacked the Liao Kingdom and was invincible, but he basically never won when he was fighting against Li Yanqing. Wanyan Xie was also worried that he would be angry and be restrained, so he asked Wanyan Loushi, who had just come from Taiyuan to command the battle.

Wanyan Loushi was also a powerful general in the Jin Dynasty. He fought decisively, fought hard without fear, had a strong willpower, and was good at fighting hard battles. Only then did Wanyan Xie turn him into the siege, and he also had the determination to break through Tokyo at any cost. Wanyan Zongwang was too polite to the soldiers and was not suitable for this kind of life-and-death battle.

Beiwai City has been completely cleaned up, all the gullies have been filled, and all the excess gravel and rotten bricks have been transported away. There is no problem in stationing a hundred thousand troops.

The Jin soldiers were in place one after another, and they set up a large formation one mile away from the city. Under a huge coach's flag, Wanyan Xie also stared at Tokyo City in a hurry. The outbreak of the plague in the military camp put him under tremendous pressure. More than 5,000 soldiers fell down, more than 400 died. Moreover, the number of people infected is still increasing, and there is a risk of losing control. Wanyan Xie has no time to drag on it. All negotiation plans are invalid. He can only take a gamble and break through Tokyo City at any cost.

Although he had already grasped the Emperor and Supreme Emperor of the Song Dynasty, it was even more meaningful to conquer Song, which made him a complete end to this southern expedition, otherwise it would be a huge regret.

"Transfer to Wanyan Loushi to shock the Song people first!"

The order was passed to Wanyan Loushi, and Wanyan Loushi immediately ordered: "The catapult is in place!"

There were more than 300 catapults seized on the outer city wall and the Jin soldiers who made themselves during this period, including more than 80 giant catapults. However, what made Wanyan Xie most regretful is that their thunders were basically destroyed by the Song army's sneak attack, which made them only able to attack with tinder oil today, which is also the main reason why Wanyan Zongwang was dismissed.

With the orders, more than 300 catapults began to go north, east and west to the city walls. The south city was mainly affected by the terrain, and the catapults could not pass, otherwise the Jin soldiers would attack the city from all directions today.
