From the morning to noon, people changed several times, but Tie Xuan kept saying the same thing: It's not that he didn't want to surrender, but he didn't dare to surrender. Dao Yan, who had spent countless words and couldn't open the city gate, was tired and gave him the ultimatum.
:If the city is not opened and surrendered, the city will be attacked.
Tie Xuan still put on an "innocent" expression and asked for some time to allow him to discuss with his subordinates before making a decision. However, the person trying to persuade him to surrender turned around, so he sternly ordered the officers and soldiers on top of the city: defend the city to the death, and be cowardly.
Fighters will be killed without mercy!
After a morning of trying to persuade them to surrender, but with no progress, the Tatar army became impatient and sent troops to attack, regardless of the Yan army's dissuasion. And these Tatars were also cunning and cunning. They did not directly attack with horses, but drove them away.
Thousands of captives were in front. These prisoners were captured from nearby villages. They were originally intended to be taken back as slaves, but now they were used as stepping stones.
"We are the people of Ming Dynasty, please open the door quickly and let us enter the city!"
"We are good people, please send troops to save us."
"We want to enter the city, please open the door quickly and let us enter the city!"
Not to mention, this move is so fucking shameless. No, there was a large group of innocent people crying and fighting under the city gate, and many people were beating the city gate crazily. Anyone who saw that look of despair would feel unbearable.
, let alone the determination to ignore death.
However, once the city gate is opened to allow them to enter the city, they will be fooled by the Tatars. Not to mention whether they will take the opportunity to swarm in, God knows whether there are spies among these prisoners, in case these spies enter the city.
If you come knocking and destroying things, it's really hard to guard against.
Just when Tie Xuan was hesitant to open the city gate, his sleeve was pulled by someone. When he looked down, he saw Wan Lei kneeling on the city gate and whispered to him: "Sir,
All the city gates have been sealed by me and cannot be opened. The only solution we have now is to deal with the people outside the city."
After Wan Lei finished speaking, facing the people outside the city, he knocked his head heavily on the city head, making a banging sound.
Tiexuan was helpless when he saw this, so he had to take off the black gauze on his head, follow Wan Lei's example, kneel to the people outside the city, and said in a trembling voice: "I, Yin Tiexuan of Shuntian Prefecture, have no virtue and incompetence, and have brought trouble to the people."
Water and fire. Now the Tatar troops are approaching the city. I am worried about the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city, so I dare not open the city gate. Dear fellow villagers, I can't help you."
After saying that, Tie Xuan also kowtowed three times. His forehead was already bruised, and blood stayed on his face, interspersed with tears. The bystanders were speechless when they saw this. Seeing this, the people in the city stood there blankly, all stunned.
Bewildered and at a loss.
"Both the left and right are dead, brothers, fight with the Tatars, and every one killed will count as one!" After a short silence, one of the prisoners raised his arms and shouted, which immediately attracted hundreds of responders. They didn't say anything.
, turned around and rushed towards the Tatar army.
"Hoo!" A hail of arrows flew in. When the Tatar army saw that the prisoner who had been used as a stepping stone had turned against them, they fired arrows without saying a word. Thousands of arrows fell like raindrops into the prisoner formation, like mowing grass.
Hundreds of lives were harvested. The captives who were lucky enough to survive were already desperate. An old man with several arrows in his body turned to the top of the city and shouted: "Kill all the Tatars, for us..."
Before the word "revenge" could be uttered, another hail of arrows fell, and there was only dead silence outside the city gate. Wan Lei knelt down silently again, and the sergeant beside him knelt down without saying a word when he saw it.
Di, like Wan Lei, kowtowed three times to the outside of the city.
The dead are great. No matter how noble a person is, they can't help but bend their knees when they see this kind of massacre happening in front of them. Even if they are heartless, they can't help sobbing.
No matter how bloodless a soldier is, he will still be filled with anger.
After a short silence, a junior officer stood up, drew his sword from its sheath, struck it against the female wall, and shouted angrily: "Kill the enemy and take revenge!"
"Kill the enemy and take revenge!"
"Kill the enemy and take revenge!"
...
One pass to ten, ten to one hundred, and soon it turned into the roar of the entire city's officers and soldiers. There was no trace of timidity on their faces, and their hands and feet were no longer as trembling as before, because they had found the
The reason why you are no longer afraid of death is that the soldiers will win!
The roar like a roar from the top of the city was naturally transmitted to the enemy camp on the opposite side, but the Tatars didn't seem to understand what was happening on the top of the city, and they still waved their whips and beat their horses and rushed to the bottom of the city.
"Hoo!" A hail of arrows shot up to the top of the city like locusts. The defenders on the top of the city were about to fight back when they heard Wan Lei roar: "Everyone hide behind the parapet."
There is a one-meter-high parapet on the city tower, which is used for cover. If it is not used as a good cover, Wan Lei will not do it while braving the rain of arrows and fighting with others. No, he will lead the cat there.
Behind the parapet, the soldiers followed suit and all ducked under the parapet. No one could be seen on the top of the city anymore. Those arrows flying up were in vain to take advantage of the defenders.
However, the Tatars did not expect these arrow feathers to be able to shoot down the city. Archery was just a cover for the siege team. No, after this round of volleys, the siege team began to go into battle. Some Tatars pushed a few wooden carts.
The rushing car took the opportunity to slowly approach the city gate.
Don't underestimate these rams. They have cowhide-inlaid guards on them. The Tatars are hiding in them. Even if arrows are fired from the city top and rocks fall, they will not be hurt at all. Once the rams arrive in front of the city gate, they can
They stopped and hit the city gate with huge wood. No matter how thick the city gate was, it would be broken. Once the city gate was broken, the cavalry under the city launched a charge, and the city came down.
And that's not all, the Tatars also prepared a lot of siege ladders, put them on the city wall and started climbing. The enemy was coming fiercely, and the defenders on the city seemed to have run away, but no one appeared, let alone
The ladder was knocked down, and the Tatars below who were preparing to cover themselves with arrows suddenly became redundant.
When the Tatars at the bottom of the city saw this, they were so happy that they put down their bows and arrows and started to climb up crazily. The charging car even hit the city gate in an awkward manner, as if they didn't want to look back until they hit the south wall. Seeing the climbers climbing the ladder,
The Tatars were about to climb to the top of the city. The Yan army, who had originally planned to just sit back and watch, couldn't sit still, so they rushed forward one after another and started to grab the credit.
At this moment, the Tatars who were climbing the ladder felt that their hands were wet, as if they had touched some oil. When they looked down, they saw oil flowing down the ladder, but they had not had time to study these pungent smells.
What kind of oil is oil? You can see the flames flashing on the top of the city. Immediately afterwards, a fire suddenly broke out above the ladder. With a roar, the flames spread rapidly down the ladder. The Tatars who were climbing at the front saw it and hurriedly reached out to put out the fire.
Miao, but the more he patted, the more intense the fire became. Soon, the fire spread to his sleeves and feet...
"Ah..." screams came, and the Tatar who was on fire didn't even have a place to roll. His hands and feet were dancing wildly and he fell down. The friends behind him saw that it was not good and wanted to retreat, but the retreat was blocked by the people below.
The accomplices were blocked, unable to move forward or retreat, but the flames kept rushing downwards. After a while, the ladder turned into a fire ladder.
Those Tatars who were unable to advance or retreat on the fire ladder saw that the situation was not good, so they abandoned the ladder and jumped down one after another. Some who were lucky enough not to be killed were trying to roll to put out the flames on their bodies, but the defenders who had not seen their faces for a long time finally appeared above.
, but what appeared with them was a fully drawn bowstring, followed by a burst of angry shooting, which directly turned the burning people below into hedgehogs.
The Tatar leader who was supervising the battle not far away was furious when he saw that his ladder team was easily defeated. Not only were all the ladders burned, but hundreds of people died.
The defenders fired some retaliatory volleys. However, the defenders were well prepared, and before the arrows arrived, they ducked behind the parapet to hide themselves.
The defenders did not show up, and the Yan troops who had rushed halfway also stopped in a very sensible way. They just looked at the charging cars at the city gate eagerly, hoping that they could knock the gate open so that they could swarm up and take advantage.
.However, these charging cars kept rushing for nearly half an hour, and the city gate seemed to be made of iron and did not move at all, which made them puzzled.
Little did they know that the city gate had been built into a wall by Wan Lei. Unless he used a cannon to blast it, Xiu wanted to break it open. What they didn't even know was that not only did they have an unbreakable wall in front of them, but there was also another wall made of
The invisible copper wall and iron wall forged by faith!
