"What is your general doing? Why didn't you see me?"
"Just now Jin Bing put in a lot of orders, the general led people to search, all the orders must be turned in, anyone who dares to hide it will be killed!"
Tao Shuang understood. It turned out that he had gone to search for the letter of surrender.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and a general angrily scolded: "I ordered all the orders to be handed over, and those who disobeyed the order will be beheaded. ?”
Tao Shuang hurried to the door, and saw dozens of soldiers holding torches in the distance, and a general of the Song Army kneeling on the ground, his hands were tied behind his back, and his helmet had been knocked off.
"Commander, I can't read, I want to know what is written on it? That's why I hid one."
"fart!"
Song Junjun said angrily: "You think I will believe you? Bring it up!"
A scribe was brought up and stood aside tremblingly.
General Song Jun asked: "Did he ask you to read to him the content on the list?"
"Have!"
"Hmph! What else do you have to say now?"
Those who were tied back were all desperate, and he said loudly: "All brothers know that Jiandao Pass will be captured sooner or later. Now that there is no water, everyone persuades the commander to retreat, but the commander refuses to agree, thinking that everyone Don't know what's on your mind?"
The chief general of the Song army said gloomyly: "What do you want to say?"
"Everyone knows that you want to use this to get promoted, but you can't climb up by stepping on the corpses of your brothers!"
The general of the Song army slapped the face hard, and ordered: "Drag it down, cut it off!"
Several soldiers dragged the general on the ground and left. The general struggled and shouted: "The surname is Chen, we are all raised by our parents. We have parents, wives and children in our family. Brothers don't want to die. You can't do this... Ah! "Then there was a scream.
After a while, a soldier came forward with a plate. On the plate was a human head, which seemed to be the general just now.
"General, Hong Du's head has been beheaded!"
"Hang it on the top of the wall, whoever dares to surrender will be executed together!"
Tao Shuang was horrified by the sight, walked back to the room and asked, "Is this your chief general?"
Xiao Bing nodded, "You are here to persuade him to surrender! I advise you not to think about it."
"why?"
"Wanyan Loushi died at the hands of my general, do you think he will surrender?"
"Ah! Is he Chen Qing?"
"Exactly!"
Tao Shuang hated it very much. After fighting for so long, Wanyan Wulu actually didn't even know who his opponent was, and even sent himself to persuade him to surrender. It's really funny!
At this time, a soldier outside shouted, "The commander is here!"
The little soldier turned pale with fright, and sneaked out quickly.
Chen Qing strode into the room, Tao Shuang hurriedly saluted, "See General?"
"You surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin?"
Tao Shuang sighed and said, "No one wants to surrender to the Kingdom of Jin, but if we don't surrender, the Jin soldiers will massacre the city. For the common people, we can only endure the humiliation!"
"Hmph! All the officials who surrendered use this as an excuse. I've heard it a lot, but whether you surrender or not has nothing to do with me, and I can't care so much. You go tell Wanyan Ulu that you can attack the city if you have the ability, don't It's useless to do these small tricks!"
"The next official must convey it."
"Also, I want to ask, is there any movement from Liu Qi in Jingzhou?"
Tao Shuang shook his head, "There is no movement?"
Chen Qing sneered, "I don't think so!"
Before Tao Shuang could speak, Chen Qing waved his hand, "Go back! Tell Wanyan Wulu that he has the ability to go to Guanzhong on Jingyuan Road, and it is wishful thinking to pass by me!"
……
In the Jinbing tent, after listening to Tao Shuang's detailed narration, the water in the Guancheng will be cut off, the hearts of the soldiers are unstable, and internal strife has already appeared.
Wanyan Wulu was very proud, he stroked his beard and said to the generals: "Now you understand why I know that the opponent's city is full of stone buildings, but I still use fire to attack the opponent's city, just to consume the opponent's water. I just realized that the water source was cut off by us, I can imagine their dumbfounded looks on the spot, haha!"
All the generals bowed together and praised: "Marshal is wise!"
Wanyan Wulu was very useful, and he said again: "But we really didn't expect that our opponent would be Chen Qing, everyone, his head is worth [-] yuan! He can also seal ten thousand households. This is done by the wolf lord himself. Offering a reward, this opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune depends on whether everyone can seize it."
All the generals in the big tent screamed excitedly, Wanyan Wulu glanced at Han Chang and saw that Han Chang was silent and thoughtful, so he snorted and said, "General Han is thinking about something different?"
What he meant was that he was blaming Han Chang for not keeping up with his own train of thought?
Han Chang hurriedly bowed and said, "I was wondering why Chen Qing mentioned Liu Kai. Did Liu Kai take the opportunity to attack Pingliang Mansion? The commander-in-chief had better remind General Chizhanhui to prevent being attacked by Liu Kai's army!"
"It makes sense. I did want to mention Chi Zhanhui, but when Chen Qing mentioned Liu Kai, he was actually testing whether we had the intention of taking the Jingyuan Road. Later, he simply made it clear that he wanted us to take the Jingyuan Road. , that way, he can really walk upwards stepping on the bones of his soldiers."
"Then what is the commander-in-chief going to do next?"
Wanyan Wulu really hoped that his strategy of cutting off water would be successful in the end. Since he had made a good start, he should stick to it so that the Song army would collapse without fighting because of the complete water cut off.
Of course, this is also the essence of Chen Qing's "Jiang Gan's strategy", which successfully convinced Wanyan Wulu that the Song army was trapped in a water shortage and would be completely cut off in a few days.
It was Chen Qing's real intention to hold back the golden soldiers on the West Road and buy time for Wu Jie.
Wanyan Wulu stroked his beard happily and said: "Since his water storage can't last for a few days, we might as well wait for him for another ten days, until his army retreats without fighting and the water is exhausted. Of course, continue to attack with fire. Give me ten days of continuous attack, and let them have no peace for a moment."
"Ah!" Han Chang was taken aback, and quickly reminded: "I'm afraid that the battle with Monk Yuan won't last so long."
Wanyan Wulu said coldly: "Isn't Wanyan Meili going to confront the Song army? It's normal to have a confrontation for several months, not to mention that it's only ten days, and he can't wait?"
"But Wu Jie may not be willing to confront. Besides, Chen Qing can go to Wujia Town to fetch water. A cavalryman can fetch more than a dozen bags of water, and even use a donkey cart to pull water. How can the water source be cut off?"
Wanyan Wulu's face suddenly became extremely ugly. After a long while, he glanced at Han Chang coldly and said, "I just hope you understand that I am the coach, and I have the final say in this big tent!"
After speaking, he snorted heavily, turned and left.
Chapter 49 Offense and Defense
Beginning at dusk, the Jin soldiers once again launched a fierce fire attack on Jiandao Pass.
Five large trebuchets cast in turn, throwing kerosene, dry firewood, straw, wood, and all kinds of burning things to the top of the city and into the city.
The raging flames on the top of the city engulfed the entire top of the city. Regardless of the top of the city, the inside of the city was also filled with flames, thick smoke billowing, and everything above one foot was burned into scorched earth.
The Song army has all moved to the south, where the fire cannot reach.
Song Jun built more than 100 large tents, and moved the warehouse materials and some water storage.
Chen Qing stood on a high place, looking solemnly at the burning city in the pass city.
There was an unconcealable worry in his eyes.
"The commander seems very anxious?" Yang Yuanqing saw Chen Qing's worry.
Chen Qing sighed slightly, "If the Jin soldiers use the battering ram at this time, the city gate will be broken."
Yang Yuanqing was startled, and he also became worried, "Then what should we do?"
"There is a way to completely block the city gate!"
Chen Qing pointed to the boulder they used to defraud the city not far away and said, "Transport that boulder over to block the city gate, and then block the city gate with sandbags."
"But Jin Bing can also drag away the boulders and mud bags in the casino from outside!"
"There's a way for a humble job!" the capital head Luo Gan said aside.
"What can you do?" Chen Qing and Yang Yuanqing looked at him together.
"I have observed that the fire seems to be very strong on the top of the city, but in fact there are still places that are not burning. We can choose a few soldiers to rush to the top of the city with soaked quilts. Once the enemy uses battering rams or firearms to attack , we also burn them with oil."
"This method is possible, but how do we know the opponent's dispatch of troops?"
Luo Gan pointed to the cliff on the left and said: "There is a cave there, and there are many vines on the cliff. We can choose two soldiers with strong martial arts skills to climb up. From the cave, we can see the movement outside the city."
Yang Yuanqing slapped his fist and said excitedly: "This method is good!"
Chen Qing also felt that this plan was more reliable. He pondered for a while and said, "Two-pronged approach, the door must be blocked, and kerosene must be used. In addition, prepare more sand to pave a road to the top of the city."
Chen Qing immediately mobilized all the soldiers to carry sandbags to the city gate, including transporting the huge stone weighing seven to eight thousand catties by donkey cart.
Soon the soldiers found a larger and heavier boulder outside the southern city, weighing tens of thousands of catties, especially its size was so clever that it could be stuffed into the city cave, but it happened to be stuck in the city cave and could not be dragged out unless crush it.
However, enemy soldiers can still sneak in through the gaps, and they still have to fill the gaps with sandbags.
Soldiers of the Song Army walked close to the stone wall behind the warehouse. The stone wall was not burned by fire, and they walked along the stone wall to the city wall, and then along the city wall to the city gate.
The entire Guancheng was mobilized. Soldiers ran like ants carrying sandbags, and dozens of them went to the city carrying sandbags.
The fire was raging on the top of the city, and the heat was scorching, making it unbearable.
The soldiers covered their noses and mouths with wet towels, and spread the sand out with shovels. The corridor to the city was close to the city gate, and it was only about thirty steps to the top of the city gate.
Soon, they paved a ten-foot-wide sand road, and there was no fire on this road. The soldiers soon discovered another surprise. There was no fire burning on the horse-faced city wall, which was also caused by the structure of the city wall. Not affected by fire oil.
The five soldiers didn't need any quilts. They drenched their bodies with water, rushed over with the kerosene barrels in their arms, and squatted directly under the battlements on the horse's face. The thick smoke filled the air and the heat wave was pressing. Sweat profusely.
At the foot of the Mamian City is the city gate. At this time, the half moat bridge half hanging in front of the city gate was also burnt to charcoal, but it did not fall apart, and it was its existence that prevented the city gate from being damaged. Fire Blast.
It was already five o'clock, and the second batch of five trebuchets from the Jinbing outside the city arrived to replace the previous batch of trebuchets that were too worn out.
One after another, barrels of fire oil continued to be thrown, and the fire was still burning above and below the city. Even the bottom of the city wall was a sea of flames, and of course the attacking soldiers could not approach.
On the cliff, two soldiers as light as swallows climbed up the cave one after another. They dropped a long rope and pulled up various supplies. The Song Army observation post was quickly established.
At this moment, a troop of cavalry came galloping from a distance, and the leader was Han Chang, the leader of the puppet army.
Han Chang is a Han Chinese in Yanshan Mansion. He is not qualified to enter the high-level circle of the Jurchens, nor is he qualified to participate in the factional struggle of the Jurchens.
He was very clear about Wanyan Wulu's thoughts, he didn't want to participate in the war led by the fourth prince to attack Monk Yuan, but he didn't dare to resist orders, and he could procrastinate if he could. Chen Qing gave him a reason for lack of water, and he took advantage of the situation 'Believe' it.
But Han Chang is different. All he thinks about is the great cause of the Jin Dynasty, destroying the Song Dynasty and unifying the world.
No matter what, he must capture Jianbai Pass and open the way to Dashan Pass. No matter how dissatisfied Wanyan Wulu is, he must put the overall situation first.
Han Chang thought of a problem when he was sleeping. He failed the battering ram before because the Song army used kerosene and rolling logs and rocks on the top of the city.
Now that the Jin soldiers are burning the city, and there are no Song soldiers on the city, can his battering ram be able to show its power?
Thinking of this, Han Chang couldn't sleep anymore, and led a team of cavalry to check the situation.
A mile away, Han Chang stared at the city wall engulfed in flames and thick smoke.
"General, the flames at the city gate are very weak!" A cavalryman rushed back to report.
Han Chang immediately ordered: "Notify the trebuchet that the attack target should not be aimed at the city gate!"
……
At dawn, thousands of Jurchen cavalry rushed to the pass city like lightning. At this time, the fire on the pass city was a little bit smaller. The belts of two trebuchets were broken, and a group of craftsmen were rushing to repair them.
Wanyan Wulu was very upset. Han Chang insisted on attacking the city, and he had no choice but to disagree. With Han Chang, an unstable guy, once Monk Yuan was defeated and the Wolf Lord held him accountable, Han Chang would probably be behind his back Stab.
Wanyan Wulu stared at the city gate for a moment, then said coldly to Han Chang: "Are you really determined to attack the city gate?"
"Beizhi insists that this is an opportunity, and it's all about breaking into Guancheng!"
"What if you still fail?"
"Humble job...willing to take all responsibilities!"
"Hmph! If you lose again this time, I will never forgive you!"
Han Chang saluted silently, urged his horse to gallop away, and shouted to the two thousand Han soldiers, "Get ready for the battering ram!"
The battering ram used this time is a regular battering ram, with a frame and wheels. The huge hammer body is suspended from the frame with iron chains and is controlled by dozens of soldiers.
A six-foot-long battering ram was set off first, pulled by two bulls in front, and pushed by dozens of soldiers on both sides, the battering ram slowly walked towards the city gate step by step.
Sentinels on the cliff immediately noticed the enemy's movement, waved the red flag, and shot a letter arrow down.
A soldier rushed to report to the general Chen Qing, and as expected, the enemy found a loophole in the city gate. Chen Qing immediately ordered Luo Gan: "Luo Dutou and a hundred brothers are in charge of guarding the city. Army, keep the sandy road open!"
Luo Gan clasped his fists in salute, and left in a hurry.
Chen Qing ordered Yang Yuanqing to lead [-] soldiers to maintain the safety of the city gate.
At this time, the gate of the city was blocked by two huge stones. The largest one weighed [-] catties and looked like a lying cow. It was stuck in the gate. It was not easy to drag it away. The sand and soil sealed the gaps in the city gate in three layers, and the Song army had already made sufficient preparations.
The Song army on the horse face city has increased to eight people, including five tiger shooters, three kerosene operators, eight soldiers calmly watching the battering ram getting closer and closer to the city, and five tiger shooters. Resisting the urge to shoot, they cannot expose themselves prematurely.
