Chapter 725: Tentative Attack (1)

Wanyan Xie finally suppressed the news that the temporary grain warehouse was attacked to avoid affecting morale. Early on the third morning, the Jin soldiers launched the first attack as planned.

As soon as dawn was dawn, rumbling drums sounded in the Jin army camp. At the same time, a rapid alarm sounded at the top of Tokyo city. The Song army had received orders last night and did not take off their armor. So when the alarm sounded, the soldiers quickly arrived, and tens of thousands of soldiers soon appeared on the city wall.

At this time, the Tokyo city wall was covered with thick ice. Under the morning sunlight, the entire city shone with a magnificent light. From a distance, it was a magnificent crystal city. This was also a complex and vast project. It took the Song soldiers a full ten days to completely cover the ice wall.

At this time, Li Yanqing stood at the north city and looked at the Jin soldiers camp faintly visible in the distance. On the city, you could clearly hear the slow and rhythmic sound of war drums in the Jin soldiers camp. This was exactly the same as the sound of war drums the day before yesterday. It was the sound of gathering drums. All the soldiers of the Song army knew that the war was coming.

"Today should be just a test attack!" Liu Qi whispered beside him.

Li Yanqing shook his head, "The tentative attack is true, but tentative attack is also an attack on the city? Never underestimate the enemy and be attacked by the enemy."

"I understand that I will definitely not let the enemy take any advantage!"

Liu Qi turned around and ordered the soldiers to prepare. Li Yanqing still looked at the distance intently. In fact, he also understood in his heart that a tentative attack means that the enemy will not invest too much troops and will not use too many large-scale siege weapons. This is certainly a favorable side, but there are also an unfavorable side, that is, a tentative attack generally does not use its own tribe. The head coach of the Jin soldiers does not have the heart to pity the soldiers, and the enemy will be very brave in siege, and will not retreat easily.

But this was also an excellent training opportunity for the defending soldiers. Li Yanqing understood, and Liu Qi also understood that they actively made arrangements.

The north city wall is about twelve miles long, and one hundred and twenty large catapults, two hundred cannons are installed, as well as bed crossbows, oil fire cabinets, iron fire thunders, buckets of turbulent oil and sandbags, wooden rocks, etc. This is also the width of the capital city is two feet and five feet. If it were an ordinary city, it would not be able to accommodate so much material.

Despite this, Li Yanqing was very cautious and built dozens of stone houses on the top of the city, placing materials such as the sky-shaking thunder, iron fire thunder, and tincture oil in the stone house to prevent the Jin soldiers from using tincture oil to attack the city. The best use of fire was the Western Xia. The Jin soldiers suffered a great loss in the Western Xia fire when they attacked Datong Prefecture. Now that the Jin Kingdom conquered Xixia, there was no reason they did not use fire attack. Li Yanqing in Taiyuan had already experienced it.

Li Yanqing was even more worried that it was a catapult. If the catapult was damaged and the ignited thunder could not be shot out in time, then there would be a tragedy in Taiyuan. A catapult was damaged and did not shoot out due to the catapult, killing and injuring more than a hundred people. Li Yanqing did not want to commit this terrible lesson again.

Although the craftsmen have inspected the trencher three times, Li Yanqing was still worried. He knew that the trencher was not damaged now, but after many times of use, the strong pulling force may break the leather bag bound the trencher. For this reason, he arranged a craftsman next to each trencher to check the abnormalities of the trencher at any time. This is also the lesson Li Yanqing learned. Arranging a craftsman will definitely have a great effect.

"They are here!" several soldiers suddenly shouted.

Li Yanqing turned around and stared into the distance. He saw two armies appearing in the wilderness outside the city. The flags were like clouds and they were heading towards the city. There was an army in the distance, but it was obviously keeping a distance from these two armies.

Li Yanqing immediately judged that the two armies were siegeing the city today, with about 20,000 people. The army behind them was a siege, or axe fighter, forcing these two armies to attack the city to death. The number of opponents was not large, and obviously they would only attack Beicheng.

"Tell the archers to prepare and the trencher prepare for war!" Li Yanqing issued an order to prepare for battle.

‘Dong! dong! dong!’ The fierce drum sound suddenly sounded outside Tokyo, followed by the low and hoarse sound of deer antlers echoed in the wilderness for a long time.

Twenty thousand Jin soldiers had already been lined up two miles away, with distinct armor and murderous intent. They were elite Khitans among the Jin soldiers and were thrown into the first war to attack the capital of the Song Dynasty. Although they had the intention of dying, Wanyan Xie also promised that if they captured Bianjing City, the Song Dynasty's palace could be entered first.

The Jin soldiers went south and the situation was unstoppable. All the prefectures and counties in Hebei were surrendered. The more than 100,000 Song troops stationed in Hebei were defeated in one battle. Therefore, compared with the high profits of entering the palace first, taking some risks is worth it for the Khitan army. Even if the Song army in the capital cannot be defeated in one battle, I believe that the Khitan army can still enter Tokyo after paying a little blood price.

Almost every Khitan soldier had such an idea and was full of murderous aura. After a command, they would directly kill to the top of the city.

The chief general of the Jin army commander to attack the city today was Wanyan Zongwang. Although Wanyan Xie was the Marshal of Du, he only cared about strategy and military deployment, but in terms of specific operations, he completely handed over to Wanyan Zongwang.

At this time, countless pairs of eyes looked at Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zongwang looked at the hundreds of siege ladders that had been prepared, and then looked at the towering Tokyo Bianliang City in the distance. Wanyan Zongwang nodded slowly and issued a combat order, "The First Army attacked!"

‘Dongdong’

The earth-shaking sound of war drums sounded, and the 10,000 golden soldiers deployed on the east shouted and rushed towards Tokyo City two miles away. They carried more than 150 siege ladders. These siege ladders were made of wood as thick as thighs, weighing about 300 kilograms. Each rack was four feet long. There were two huge iron hooks at the front, which could directly hook the city wall. Even the ice layer could be tightly clenched, and it was even more practical than the cloud ladder.

Ten thousand gold soldiers rushed over like a tide, getting closer and closer, one thousand steps, eight hundred steps, six hundred steps, five hundred steps... they have gradually approached the range of the catapult.

Li Yanqing looked at the Jin soldiers who had already entered the range of the catapult. Although he knew that the other party was testing his strength, showing his strength was also a shock to the other party.

He ordered coldly: "Start!"

The Song army's trench plane was launched, and a series of strong winds passed by. One hundred and twenty long poles were swung out. One hundred and twenty dark thunders rose into the air, forming a dense rain of iron in the air, making a strange sound, roaring towards the heads of the Khitans.

A series of earth-shaking explosions suddenly sounded in the wilderness. Although the Song army on the city had experience in the Taiyuan defense battle, when the catapult shot out, they covered their ears and squatted down, the earth-shaking explosions still made the Song soldiers feel thrilling.

When the explosion disappeared, some brave soldiers quietly looked up outside the city, and the situation outside the city still made many people stick out their tongues.

The attacking Jin soldiers were obviously inexperienced. When the thunder of the sky fell and exploded, they just ran around, but not many people were lying on the ground.

The strong shock waves and shrapnel damage caused extremely heavy casualties between the Jin soldiers. Dozens of earth pits appeared in the wilderness, and corpses and broken limbs were covered with broken arms, and blood stained the land red.

The first round of explosion caused more than 1,08 Jin soldiers to be killed and injured. Although only 20% of the casualties of 10,000 troops, the shock caused by the explosion scared the Jin soldiers to be frightened, and turned around and ran back to flee.

Wanyan Zongwang had already prepared. Seeing the soldiers who were in the first round of attack retreating one after another, he was furious in his heart and ordered: "A sword and axe!"

Two thousand Jurchen cavalrymen rushed up with sharp axes in their hands. They killed more than 100 deserters in a row and forced the rest of the soldiers to continue to attack the city.

Under the pressure of the combat-surveillance cavalry, eight thousand Khitan soldiers had to turn around and kill the city again.

This time, Li Yanqing changed his order, and the thunder of the sky was replaced by a huge rock, and he also needed to use these eight thousand gold soldiers to hone his team.

More than a hundred large rocks rolled in the air and smashed towards the Jin soldiers rushing towards them. The Jin soldiers running in the front were overturned and overturned. The huge rock hit the soldiers. The head was instantly smashed away, bloody and bloody. The war horses were hit and fell down with a tragic neighing, pressing the soldiers under them. A stone rain killed and injured more than 400 cavalry, which made the Jin soldiers' attack aura aggression.
