Privy Councilor Wanyan Sai reminded him.

"Thanks for the advice, Commander. I understand that the west gate guarded by my general is as solid as gold. If the Song army wants to enter the city, they must step on the corpse of the general -"

"Hey, I'm thinking that in the past few years since I came to the throne, I haven't been able to do any favors to the people of the Jin Kingdom. Instead, I have repeatedly lost the territory left by my ancestors."

"Now that we are trapped in Bianliang, will the last thirty thousand warriors of the Jin Kingdom be destroyed in my hands?"

Wanyan Shouxu was not in a good mood. He drank two big mouthfuls of "Hero Drunk" and choked and coughed.

"Your Majesty, please don't be so pessimistic. Even if our 30,000 golden warriors die, it will not make the Song army feel better. Please take care of yourself. I will go to the city to garrison..."

Wanyan Shilu stood up, clasped his fists at Wanyan Shouxu and others one by one, and then retreated.

Sure enough, the "Yue Family Army" did not attack the city overnight, but settled into the camp step by step, without even saying hello to Bianliang City.

Cui Li's messenger took advantage of the darkness and entered the camp of the "Yue Family Army".

Guo Mo did not show his own banner, but hid in Yue Ao's army. It seemed that he did not want people to know his existence so early.

"Yue Dutong, this is a personal letter from my General Cui——"

The messenger handed over a letter in a polite manner. Lawrence Lu, who was standing in front of the handsome man, took it and handed it to Guo Mo.

Guo Mo was sitting behind the commander, but no one introduced his identity to the messenger. The messenger mistakenly thought that the person sitting in the middle must be Yue Ao, the commander-in-chief of the "Yue Family Army".

"I will not write a reply. I will go back and tell you General Cui to guard the east gate. He will be needed if necessary."

"I will report the merits of General Cui to His Highness the Crown Prince truthfully. As for the handling of this water village, I will send someone to take over it tomorrow."

It turned out that Cui Li's letter implicitly proposed that the "Yue Family Army" should enter the city from the east gate, but Guo Mo had a different idea.

This time the "Yue Family Army" was well prepared. Whether it was siege equipment or horse fighting, they were no worse than the Jin Army. They had been training for so long and had not really experienced the baptism of a war.

If you enter the city through the east gate, Cui Li will have to take the victory over the city, but the subsequent street fighting will also be a headache.

As a result, the power of the military formations trained by the "Yue Family Army" was greatly reduced, and the opponent's more than 30,000 sergeants were also waiting for work.

There was nothing to say all night, and it was dawn the next day.

After a hearty meal, Yue Ao beat the drum and gathered the generals. Guo Mo was also dressed in armor, but he sat aside, leaving the center position to Yue Ao, the commander of the "Yue Family Army".

"The generals are ordered to capture Bianliang City today. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to supervise the battle in person. I don't want to see anyone who hesitates before the battle."

"I have always felt that attacking the Kingdom of Jin is something that does not require mobilization for every man of the Song Dynasty. I will not say much and will only say one thing - you must be worthy of the three gilded characters of 'Yue Family Army'!"

"

The siege battle began, and more than a hundred trebuchets were pushed to the front of the 50,000 "Yue Family Army".

These trebuchets, which were jointly modified by Guo Mo and Feng Mofeng, were lighter and more accurate than those in the hands of the Mongols, and could throw stones up to two hundred paces away.

More than a hundred of them were neatly arranged in three rows, completely covering the west gate of Bianliang City.

"Trebuchet, second row, prepare, first row, release -"

Forty or fifty trebuchets "fired" at the same time, and it was like a hailstorm fell on the top of Bianliang City, but the hailstones were a bit too big.

The artillery stones used by the "Yue Jiajun" were all polished by special personnel and were approximately spherical in shape, about the size of later basketballs.

If a cannon stone hits a person directly, his bones and tendons will definitely be broken, and he will be dead.

Even if it hits the city wall, it will still cause some damage to the city wall, not to mention the defensive equipment placed on the city wall.

Some of the boiling soup even knocked over the large pot, and the surrounding Jin army was scalded.

Some cannon stones that happened to roll down the racetrack could injure the Jin troops along the way.

"Quick, hide, each find a place to hide -"

Who has ever seen such a posture among the city guards commanding the city?

He hurriedly hid in a blind corner of a virgin wall while shouting loudly.

There are 10,000 troops stationed at the west gate. Today the Song army is going to attack the city. Early in the morning, 2,000 troops are on the city wall, 1,000 troops are on the city wall, and there are 500 troops on each side of the horse racing track to facilitate reinforcements at any time.

"Third row, prepare, second row, put -"

So cruel, the "Yue Jiajun" actually applied the "three-stage shooting" method to the trebuchet, which almost gave the Jin army on the west city wall no chance to breathe.

After three rows of trebuchets fired five rounds each, the Bianliang city wall was already in a mess. Especially among the thousand soldiers who were originally guarding the city wall, not even half of them could escape safely.

"General Wanyan, how can we fight this...this battle?"

The deputy general found Wanyan Shilu in a hidden place, but Wanyan Shilu was also helpless.

I only heard that the four powerful troops under the command of the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty were unparalleled in field battles, but I didn't expect that the siege weapons were so shocking. Could it be that all the preparations I had made were in vain?

"Hurry up to the city. The Song army's trebuchets have stopped and they will attack the city soon——"

Wanyan Shilu had no choice but to recruit another thousand sword and shield soldiers and send them to the city wall.

However, when nearly 2,000 gold troops were assembled on the west city wall again, the 50,000 "Yue Family Army" did not move forward, but heard the sound of trumpets again.

"Second row, prepare, first row, put -"

It turns out that the "Yue Family Army" had made calculations beforehand. Looking at the width of the Bianliang city wall, they could roughly calculate how many defenders there would be on it.

If the trebuchet fires too little, it will not help; if it fires too much, it will obviously be a waste of "cannon stones".

Therefore, it is set to five rounds at a time, and a certain amount of time will be left after the five rounds, so that the Jin Kingdom defenders on the city wall can replenish some.

"Ah, here you go again? Hurry and escape——"

This is the newly replaced city guard captain. The city guard captain just now was unfortunately hit by a cannon stone. Although he was not dead yet, he was almost dead.

"General Wanyan, this...hey——"

Witnessing the tragedy of flying rocks hitting people again, the deputy general was speechless.

"After the trebuchets stop, only two hundred people will be left on the city to monitor them. If the Song army still uses trebuchets, ignore them. If a large number of Song troops attack the city, let the brothers board the city to defend it."

Wanyan Shilu changed his defensive strategy in an instant, otherwise it would not be possible to continue like this.

Before even touching the opponent's hair, one's own people lost a small amount of two thousand?

How many people are there in total at the West City Gate? If this continues, the entire army will be wiped out within a few rounds.

"Captain Lieutenant, it seems that there are fewer Jin troops on the city. Do they dare not come up when they are under the city?"

The sergeant in charge of the trebuchet took a look at the tower. These people were on the same level as the archers, and their eyes were very good.

"Huh, you want to hide? There's no door -"

"All the trebuchets have moved forward a hundred steps. Aren't they hiding under the city? Let's smash them under the city."

With an order, five sergeants were in charge of a trebuchet, and they could slowly move forward by pushing the base of the trebuchet.

At the same time, two hundred giant shield bearers appeared on the left and right wings, each holding a giant shield, to prevent the archers on the city top from sniping the trebuchet sergeants.

"Yue Ao, you have made great progress in the past few years. Do you know how to protect the lives of your brothers?"

Guo Mo watched the operations in front of the formation from behind and couldn't help but praise Yue Ao a few words.

"Hehe, look at what Your Highness said, if you can use these sharp weapons to kill enemies, who would be stupid enough to let your brothers risk their lives? However, these are not my ideas, they are all Lao Qin's ideas."

It turned out to be Qin Ju's intention, which is no wonder. Before participating in the "Martial Arts Examination", Qin Ju had already been a captain stationed at the border for several years.

"There are three rows, each of them will send twenty rounds to Bianliang City, especially where the horse racing track extends, and hit them hard-"

Twenty rounds and two to three thousand cannon stones will take some time to finish.

The 50,000 "Yue family troops" under the city were waiting in full formation. They looked at the spectacular scene in front of them coldly, but they were very excited in their hearts.

On the city wall, there were no longer any shouts from the defenders, only the sound of roaring cannons and stones in the air, or the screams of the sergeants who were hit.

"Ladder preparation——"

Before the trebuchets were finished, Yue Ao had already issued the order to attack the city.

There are fifty ladders more than two feet long, and behind each one are two hundred people, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

Because the trebuchets hit the city from the front, of course they would occasionally hit the city wall, but at this time, they could no longer care about these details.

Yue Ao wanted to order his sword and shield soldiers to board the city before the trebuchets stopped attacking.

A dozen people carried ladders and moved quickly towards the city wall.

The west city gate, like the east city gate, is only over two feet high. It is much faster to go up to the city with a ladder than with a rope. Fifty Song soldiers appeared as soon as they appeared.

Unfortunately, at this time, the Jin soldiers on the city had already gone to find places to hide. They did not expect that while the trebuchets were still in operation, Song soldiers would board the city.

Fifty, one hundred, one hundred and fifty, two hundred...

The "Yue Jiajun" who climbed onto the city wall also lowered their waists and quickly extended to both sides to make room for more comrades to come up.

After twenty rounds of trebuchets were finished, while the west gate of Bianliang City was still filled with dust, more than a thousand "Yue Jiajun" were already mounted on the city wall.

Due to Yue Ao's temperament, he originally wanted to take the lead, but unfortunately Guo Mo stayed here, so he had no choice but to command from behind.

But, what’s so good about commanding this?

Nowadays, many of the battles fought by Guo Mo's army have been repeatedly deduced on the sand table in advance, and several possible variables have been prepared.

Yue Ao couldn't go, so Qin Ju followed the second thousand-man team up.
To be continued...
