Chapter 1831 A desperate gamble is also a moth to the flame
In the south of Yanjing City, a large area of fire caves and tiles shimmered; in the Jin army camp, it turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Large areas of the city wall collapsed and collapsed, and some gaps were opened that were enough for the rebels outside the city to rush in. The defensive equipment on the city gate was
Most of it has been destroyed. The southern city wall of Yanjing is devastated and incomplete. Several deep pits have been broken in places where there have been collapses. The smoke is still there. Most of the corpses mixed with rubble and bricks have not had time to be restrained... Ordinarily, now
The rebel troops outside the city were able to take advantage of the situation and forcefully attack the city. However, after several rounds of artillery bombardment, the rest of the army, which had gathered like ants, still stood still. Wanyan Xie, who was still in shock, could not move at least for now.
We can probably predict the combat intentions of the great enemy Xiao Tang.
That traitor... wants to completely bombard the south of Yanjing City into a piece of ruins, and even the broken city walls will be destroyed. Now that the two armies are facing each other and keeping distance from each other, our army
He was still helpless against the terrifying artillery in his artillery array. Whenever a military horse appeared within the sight of the men, they would still be bombarded by rounds of stone-throwing artillery shells... and this was also the case.
Completely destroy the morale of our army, and then attack the general into the city from the ruins that allow large groups of troops to move around. By then, it will be even more difficult to withstand the enemy's front!
Wanyan Xie also knew very well that with the war situation in such a situation, the chance of still holding on to the city of Yanjing was extremely slim. He could not help but feel frightened, but at least it was the birth of a girl.
The veteran in the alliance who followed Aguda and risked his life to build a kingdom for his nation. Although he was old and had enjoyed the glory and wealth of the founding minister for many years, Wanyanxie also asked himself about the kind of love he carried in his bones.
The tenacity and fierceness tempered by the white mountains and black waters have not yet retreated, not to mention that regarding the national destiny, even if he risked his own life in Yanjing City, he was absolutely unwilling to do that kind of embarrassing escape because of the enemy's power.
For the coward and coward who has to survive!
Even if he consoled himself and considered abandoning Yanjing City immediately, trying to preserve the strength of the Jin Kingdom's troops and horses, he fled to the northeast in panic... Wanyan Xie also knew better that the capital of Yanyun and the land of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun were here.
The territory, the population of various ethnic groups, the wealth and food... not only must they all be surrendered to the country's great enemy, Xiao Tang, but now the country is in decline. Not only are the Jurchens and Langs of various tribes fearful, but the Han, Khitan, Bohai,
Ridiculous people, miscellaneous people... The people of all tribes and tribes who originally belonged to the Jin Kingdom saw that the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom no longer had the same power to roam the northern land without any opponents, and it was no longer possible to overwhelm the tribesmen everywhere and surrender. Now,
But more than just dissent, in the land of Yanyun, led by the rebel general Yeluyu, a large number of military and horse tribesmen have surrendered to Xiaotang!
If our army is afraid of the enemy and abandons the city and flees, and then he easily captures Yanjing City... Wanyan Xie can also understand the current situation very well. If a certain family does not retreat, then it will be the same as before.
What's the difference between the Liao people who were killed by the Jurchen tribesmen and lost their armor? After being completely in decline, all the state capitals also surrendered in despair!?
However, Xiao Tang's army is now several times larger than his own, and the fortifications in the south of Yanjing City are almost useless. If you want to win the last chance of victory, you will continue to try to take advantage of the intact city passes and the remaining fortifications in the south of Yanjing City.
The city's equipment is trying its best to consume the enemy's troops and horses, and I am afraid that the only way to survive is to risk the troops, and there is no other way to think of...
Wanyan Xie also thought in his mind, and immediately shouted loudly, giving orders to the bodyguards of the earth-colored tooth generals beside him: "Pass an order from a certain family commander to teach Wanyan Pu's slaves, Hu Cigu, and Wu Cun come to see you quickly. We still have to fight to the death to defend the city, even if we try to injure the enemy's troops as much as possible, Zhemo can only do this... No matter how powerful Xiao Tang's traitor is, if Yanjing is lost, the land of Yanyun will no longer be able to be saved. By then, those guys will send troops to the northeast again, shaking the foundation of the Jin Kingdom, and it will be difficult to regain its strength! A certain family would rather die here than watch that traitor Xiao Tang continue to infringe!"
.............................
In this critical predicament, what response did the general of the Jin army in Yanjing City make? He didn't even need to think about it according to military tactics. Xiao Tang vaguely remembered what he had played in later generations, such as Real-time strategy games such as Age of Empires can actually figure out the opponent's intentions. If the enemy builds many defense towers, the casualties will be huge if the troops attack them forcefully, but I conveniently built a lot of long-range artillery with a higher technology tree level. The range of the troops is also beyond the strike range of the opponent's defense towers, and the enemy cannot seize the time to sneak attack on their hometown, so they can only send troops to try to eliminate the artillery troops who are clearing the defense towers in front of their hometown...
And now the Jin army in Yanjing City is jumping over the wall. If they still have the intention of fighting to the death despite being trapped, they can only make a desperate move, otherwise they will only fall into the passive situation of being beaten. Therefore, Wanyan Xie is more likely to have to fight to the death. He planned to carry out a surprise attack to save lives, and then allocate some of the troops and horses in the city as daredevils, and use the greatest possible surprise attack to try to burn and destroy all the slinging artillery equipment in the front line of the rebel army. Moreover, Xiao Tang was sure that even if Wanyan Xie also knew that his intentions would inevitably be seen through, but he could only order the soldiers and horses in the city to attack one after another like moths flying to the flame, not even sacrificing the lives of many soldiers, and trying to make the final move. struggle......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
It's night, the moon is bright and the stars are few.
One team after another, the Jin Army cavalry with people holding grass and rings on their horses filed out from the south gate of Yanjing City. There were large areas of ruins around them, and the pungent smell of burnt corpses in the air seemed to have not dissipated. , even if they drove out of the city gate, and the incomplete and collapsed walls of the city wall gathered, it seemed that the effectiveness of using the trench city to defend against the large number of enemy troops outside had been greatly reduced; even if they were ordered to sneak attack the various rebel camps on the opposite side at night. I am afraid that the enemy has already prepared the formation, but there is no point in sneaking out of the city to hide...
Wanyan Pu's slaves, Hu Cigu, and Wu Cun had already accumulated meritorious service during the Jurchens' conquest of Liao and the founding of the People's Republic of China in the early years. However, now they are the generals of the Jin army who were ordered by the commander Wanyan Xie to attack the enemy at night. Knowing that they had to come, even if the fifteen thousand Jurchen armored cavalry they led, most of them would not survive this battle tonight, but they were huddled in the almost completely destroyed city wall of Yanjing City. , just sit back and wait for death.
At any rate, even if our lives are at risk here, we must first make a desperate attack and do our best to burn down the extremely powerful slinging artillery equipment listed in front of the enemy's formation! As long as we can destroy Xiao Tang's attack, It is a powerful weapon for the city. It is possible to defend the dilapidated city and fight to the last moment. If reinforcements can arrive from all directions if we work hard for a few more days, the battle of Yanjing may not be able to turn around again!
Teams of Jin Army death knights were at the forefront, and they were all brave warriors with heavy weapons such as axes, maces, and long machetes hanging on their saddles. Behind them were other teams that were already fighting.
The healthy cavalryman held the bow in his hand, and the rest of the cavalry soldiers also held sabers in their hands. Under the reflection of the moonlight, a cold light shone out, and the large number of golden armor cavalry all carried seals filled with kerosene.
Clay pots and fire seals. The ferocious expressions on Wanyan Pu's slaves, Hu Cigu, and Wu Zhi's faces became more and more solemn. They each led their warriors to ride forward, and the torches in front of them were shining brightly.
, but when the rebel artillery array, which could not keep a clear eye on the surrounding situation, came closer to a distance of about 200 paces, which was already within the range of a strong bow, Wanyan Pujianu, who was full of murderous intent, took the lead in shouting, and immediately shouted.
Taking out the long sword in his hand, he galloped away on his horse.
A large number of Jin Army cavalry followed Wanyan Pu's slaves, forming an assault formation and charging forward. Looking at that posture, it was like a wave of madness, and it was unstoppable!
