The first thousand one hundred and fifty-three chapters are wiped out
"Damn it, there's no end to the killing!"
Hu Yanlei saw that the opponent was like an ant and couldn't finish killing him, so he was so angry that he cursed.
Lieutenant General Zhou Ping reminded: "General, it's time to use kerosene!"
"I know, you don't need to remind me!"
Hu Yanlei was furious and shouted: "Prepare the kerosene barrels and obey my orders!"
He shouted to Zhou Ping again: "Hurry up and patrol other places, don't be attacked by the arrogant Jurchens."
"Follow the order!"
Zhou Ping led a group of soldiers to patrol and defend elsewhere.
Arrows were still missing like rain from the city top, and soldiers holding shields kept falling to the ground, but more soldiers continued to join in.
The battering ram was still advancing step by step. It had already crossed the ice of the moat and was about to go ashore. Hu Yanlei shouted, "Throw down the kerosene!"
Hundreds of soldiers poured down barrels of kerosene. Three hundred barrels fell in an instant. A dozen torches were thrown down, and the kerosene burst into flames. The fire was raging, forcing the battering ram team to retreat.
Alubu in the distance sighed lowly, Song Jun still used kerosene.
He turned around and shouted sternly: "Attack the torches!"
Ten thousand cavalry lit torches, like a long fire dragon, and galloped towards the city wall two miles away. The sound of horse hooves was like muffled thunder, making the earth begin to shake.
Hu Yanlei shouted: "The crossbowmen are ready to shoot!"
In just a moment, the cavalry team rushed to the city. Arrows were lost like a storm. Soldiers were constantly hit by arrows and fell off their horses, but more soldiers struggled to throw torches at the top of the city.
Torches fell like raindrops on the top of the city. More than a dozen barrels of kerosene were ignited by the torches, and a fire broke out on the top of the city.
Hu Yanlei shouted in a hurry: "Throw the torches and kerosene barrels down the city, and protect the other kerosene barrels!"
There was a chaos on top of the city. The soldiers threw torches down the city, covered the burning kerosene barrels with wet bedding, and threw the bedding and kerosene barrels down the city.
After working for a long time, the fire on the top of the city was finally put out. At this time, there was a loud bang, the city wall shook, and many soldiers became unstable and fell to the ground.
Although the battering ram army was forced back by the fire, they did not go far. The torch siege was to cover them. Under the cover of the torch offensive, they took the opportunity to launch an offensive.
"Use kerosene!"
Hu Yanlei yelled, "Throw down the kerosene!"
Hundreds of soldiers ignored the fall, picked up kerosene and smashed it down on their heads and faces. Just as the enemy hit the city wall for the second time, kerosene poured on their heads and bodies, and instantly the fire on the ground was ignited, turning them into a pile of fire.
, just two steps away, the soldiers in front fell down one after another. What was originally a shocking blow, the battering ram turned into scraping against the wall.
Hundreds of barrels of kerosene were smashed down, and the city turned into a sea of fire. Hundreds of Jurchen soldiers turned into burning men, wailing and struggling in the swamp of fire. The battering ram was thrown away, and the soldiers ran outside crying and running.
After a dozen steps, he fell headlong onto the ice and gradually became motionless.
The huge three-foot-long battering ram also turned into a fire stick, which continued to burn and finally burned to charcoal.
At the end of the day, the Jurchen army's only siege weapon was destroyed by the Western army. Arupu was at a loss what to do. It was possible to cut down trees to make a battering ram, but the Western army implemented a strong wall and cleared the field. There was not a single tree within a radius of fifty miles. Where?
Made a battering ram.
"Captain Ten Thousands, the beams of the houses can be used as battering rams!"
"Roof beams?"
Arubu has been in the Central Plains for a long time, and he knows what the beams of ordinary houses look like. The beams of ordinary houses are too thin and short to be used as a battering ram. If it is a residence of a wealthy family, the main beams will be very thick.
It can be used as a battering ram.
"Captain Ten Thousands, we almost succeeded just now!"
"Captain Ten Thousand, it's still early, let's continue!"
Everyone tried to persuade them, but Alupu nodded, "Okay! Find the beams, they must be strong enough. It is the main hall of a wealthy family. Take a look after they are dismantled!"
A captain led hundreds of cavalry to find the main beam. Everyone had to wait patiently. Everyone realized that the crisis was coming. Basically, there were only two meals of dry food left, one each for tomorrow morning and noon.
, we will run out of food at night.
At this moment, the earth began to tremble slightly, and there was a muffled thunder in the distance. Alubu stood up in shock and looked to the west.
I saw several spies running from a distance, shouting: "The Western Army is coming to kill! The Western Army is coming to kill!"
Arupu was so frightened that his scalp exploded and he shouted: "The Song army is coming, blow the horn quickly!"
"Woo——"
The horn sounded, and the Jurchen soldiers who were resting stood up one after another. They also felt the murderous intent and quickly got on their horses.
The moonlight was bright, and the snow-covered land was particularly clear. A few miles away, a dark cavalry appeared.
At this time, the spies rushed over and reported loudly: "The Western Army has 20,000 cavalry, and they are coming with a fierce force."
Another spy came to report, "Captain Ten Thousands, the city gate is open, and ten thousand Western troops have come out."
Arubu quickly made a judgment that they could not be the opponent of the Western Army and would be completely destroyed.
"Blow the trumpet and retreat!" Alubu immediately ordered.
"Woo~woo~"
The rapid sound of the horn sounded, which was an order to retreat. More than 10,000 Jurchen cavalry turned their horses and fled eastward.
In a moment, 20,000 Western Army cavalry came overwhelmingly. The leader was none other than Yang Zaixing. He had received the news that the Jurchen cavalry had crossed the Yellow River the day before yesterday, and immediately led 30,000 troops to support Songcheng County.
The 20,000 Western Army cavalry did not stop and continued to chase the enemy. Hu Yanlei also led his troops to pursue the enemy. The cavalry had no time to clear the battlefield, and there would be many wounded soldiers. The infantry who arrived later had to deal with the wounds.
The Western cavalry was chasing after them in a hurry. The Jurchen cavalry ran desperately and passed through a low hill. In the night, a storm of arrows suddenly shot out from both sides. The Jurchen cavalry was caught off guard and a large number of them fell on their backs.
"Woo——"
The horn of the Western Army sounded, and five thousand cavalry were killed on each side. They detoured to intercept the fleeing Jurchen cavalry.
The Western cavalry rushed into the enemy group instantly and drove the Jurchen cavalry to pieces. Not long after, 20,000 main cavalry also arrived, and 30,000 Western cavalry surrounded the Jurchen cavalry from all directions.
This Jurchen cavalry belongs to the Jurchens in a broad sense. They are actually Bohai and Korean people. Their combat effectiveness is generally weaker than that of the real Jurchen cavalry. They are no match for the Western cavalry one on one, not to mention that the Western cavalry is three against one.
The Jurchen cavalry was defeated. Arubu led more than a thousand people to fight their way out and fled eastward in panic. The rest of the Jurchen cavalry either died or fled. The Western Army did not accept the surrender, and the Jurchen cavalry was finally destroyed.
After escaping across the Yellow River in one breath, Aru replenished the number of cavalry that escaped and gathered together sporadically. There were less than 3,000 people. Excluding those who died in the siege, that is to say, 10,000 people were wiped out in this battle.
.
Alubu was frightened for a while and immediately sent someone to inform Wanyan Digunai to withdraw his troops. He himself returned to Licheng County in panic...
