It's four o'clock in the morning (ten o'clock in the morning).

Zhe Keqiu summoned the generals of Baode City.

He asked Orifumi: "How long can the food in the city be available?"

"I can still eat it for three months."

"Three months is enough." Wang Zheng said, "Within three months, the Jin army must have blocked the Song army's return route. Even if the Jin army cannot capture Taiyuan within three months, they can still go north to surround Wu Jie!

"

"From now on, no one is allowed to go out to fight. I will fight a defensive battle with the Song army!" Zhe Keqiu said, "The towers in the four directions are deployed for defense. The Song army will definitely be in a hurry to attack the city, but they can't get in!"

As soon as Zhe Keqiu finished speaking, there was a muffled sound from outside.

"What sound?" Zhe Keqiu asked in surprise.

Everyone looked at each other.

Next, several muffled sounds were heard in succession.

Zhewu walked to the door and heard faint exclamations coming from the street outside.

After a while, soldiers came in a hurry.

"Report! The Song army is attacking the city!"

When the Jin army in Dangzhou was in full swing, the Zhejia army in Baode City would never forget the fear of being dominated by a giant trebuchet on that day.

The mighty Song army was displayed at the foot of Baode City.

The victorious army's banner covers the sky, its armor is like the sea, and its momentum is like a rainbow.

Wu Jie was wearing armor and standing on the handsome platform.

His handsome platform is obviously not as high as the city tower, but it seems to be overlooking everyone on the top of the city.

Thirty giant trebuchets are like thirty giant beasts crawling in Baode City.

Thirty giant trebuchets let out angry roars one after another, and burning boulders fell from the sky one after another, as if the wrath of God was coming down from anger.

It hit the city head, cracking the rammed earth wall, and the flames burned the surrounding area into darkness.

In those gaps, there were several corpses with mutilated flesh and blood, burned black.

When a humanoid corpse fell from the collapse, the next wave of burning boulders followed.

Some of them hit the city head, and some went over the city head and smashed into the city, making a rumbling sound and plowing a long mark in the city.

Everyone at the tower was frightened. They had never seen such a terrifying weapon.

In the panic, the guards on the tower didn't know what to do. They lay on the ground in fear and covered their heads with their hands.

Some people simply turned around and ran down the tower.

When a powerful weapon first appears, the psychological shock it causes to people is huge.

People need constant training to overcome fear. Obviously, the army of this era has not yet had fear training for returning artillery.

While the city defenses were loosened in fear, the Song Army's Eight Bull Crossbows began to operate.

Dense clusters of arrows rushed towards the city head.

The city head was instantly filled with arrows.

There were more arrows flying over the top of the city and heading inside.

For a time, screams could not be heard, and the city tower became more chaotic.

When Zhe Keqiu arrived, a piece of the city wall had already been smashed and trampled.

Seeing that scene from a distance, he stood frozen on the spot.

He seemed to remember something. Zhewu came back and said that Lanzhou City fell because the city wall was smashed down.

He didn't believe it.

But now this terrible reality was right in front of him, and he couldn't tolerate disbelief.

When other people saw this, the expressions on their faces were as if they had seen a ghost.

The so-called strategy of defending and waiting for the Jin army to cut off Wu Jie's retreat, which was previously discussed, now seems to be a joke.

The development of ancient weapons may not trigger changes in warfare in the short term.

But this kind of weapon that can collapse city walls did change the war in a short period of time.

When such a new weapon appears, enemies who know nothing about it still think according to their original thinking. This is also human nature.

But it is precisely because of this that conquests occurred again and again in human history.

It was not just the city wall that collapsed, but also the will of the Zhe family army.

If they had seen this kind of weapon before, were aware of its existence, and even specially trained to adapt to this kind of weapon, they might not collapse so quickly.

But this is the first time they have met.

The city defense collapsed.

Just like in history, when the Mongols used it to smash the defenses of Xiangyang City, the Song army surrendered immediately without saying a word.

Because that is the collapse of the psychological defense caused by the huge shock.

It can be said that when Wu Jie attacked this area, he did still have the bonus period of new weapons.

Half an hour later, the forward battalion of the Song Army, carrying ladders, successfully climbed onto the west city wall.

There are very few people within a few hundred meters of the West City wall.

I still vaguely heard someone shouting there: "The meteorite is coming! There is a meteorite...God is angry..."

As per the old rules, the crossbowmen of the Song Army pressed down on the city wall.

Soon there was no one left in the city.

The city gate was then opened, and the main force entered the city in order.

In the afternoon, the Song army began to split up.

Now that the city walls are surrounded on all four sides, Zhe Kezhi will definitely not be able to escape if he wants to.

Even if they could escape, Guo Hao's cavalry had already returned.

The main force of the cavalry almost covered the surrounding area of ​​Baode City, making it difficult for them to fly even if they could only find their wings.

Next, some of the Zhejia soldiers threw down their weapons to express surrender.

Fortunately, Wu Jie was a rather particular commander, and these Zhejia troops were once his own.

The surrender process went smoothly, and as some people surrendered, more and more people began to surrender.

The people in the city locked themselves in their houses and did not dare to come out.

However, in the evening, the order in the city was not only not chaotic, but also getting better and better, and people came out cautiously.

But everyone is still discussing the meteorite incident.

It's no wonder that the military morale of the Zhe family army collapsed.

After those huge rocks were smashed down, the rumor spread from person to person that "God was angry and thunderous rocks fell from the sky".

This kind of rumor was simply unexplainable during ancient wars.

The sunset covered half of the sky, and the summer wind blew on both sides of the Yellow River.

This competition in the northwest came to an end in the evening.

Before dark, Zhe Keqiu was sent to Wu Jie's camp.

"Are you Wu Jie?" Zhe Keqiu's eyes were full of unwillingness.

"I am Wu Jie."

"How dare a mere junior dare to praise me in front of me?"

"A surrendered general, defeated here, still dares to show off his power in front of me?"

"When my family was fighting against the Western bandits, your grandfather's grandfather didn't know where to beg for food!"

Yang Zheng was furious and pulled out his knife: "Believe it or not, I will chop you with one knife!"

"you dare!"

"Yang Zheng, put away your sword, how could you be so rude to Zhe Shuai?" Wu Jie said.

Yang Zheng then put away the knife.

Wu Jie continued: "Were you so majestic in front of the Jin Army back then?"

This sentence was so heartbreaking that Zhe Keqiu was so angry that he couldn't even say a word.

"The ancestors of the Zhe family shed their blood for the Song Dynasty, but you can ask for help..." Wu Jie shook his head, "Forget it, you have ruined the century-old reputation of the Zhe family."

"If you want to kill the person named Wu, then kill him!"
