In the next few days, the Jin soldiers did not launch an offensive. Wanyan Chang wrote a letter to Wanyan Xie for emergency assistance, demanding support for heavy siege weapons. At the same time, Wanyan Chang ordered the garrisons of the southern prefectures of Hedong Road to rush to Taiyuan Prefecture to participate in the war. The garrisons of the southern prefectures of Hedong Road were mainly Han troops, with a total of about 15,000 people, of which 5,000 were stationed in Jiexiu County to defend the important logistics areas. The remaining 10,000 people were mainly responsible for extermination of civil anti-Jin teams and maintaining local order.

Although Wanyan Chang also knew that there would be hidden dangers in taking time out of the local army, he didn't have to think too much about it now. His task was to attack Taiyuan Prefecture, and the matter of local stability maintenance would be left to Wanyan Xie to consider it.

After a crushing defeat in the attack on Taiyuan City, Wanyan Chang temporarily gave up the man-style attack method and began to adopt alternative siege methods, using strategies and clever skills to attack the city. The powerful power of the Song army's thunders left a deep impression on him. He also had three hundred thunders of the Song Dynasty in his hand, which could fully play a role.

Like other Jin soldiers, Wanyan Chang hated the thunder that the Jin Dynasty created itself and abandoned it as if he was walking. On the contrary, they all liked the thunder that the Song Dynasty was practical, stable and powerful.

At night, dozens of Jin soldiers quietly moved closer to the north city under the cover of night. When the Jin soldiers captured Taiyuan City, they used night sneak attacks and used the thunder to blew open the northern city gate of Taiyuan. The Jin soldiers entered the city and succeeded.

Now, Wanyan Chang wants to use the same trick again. Although the four main gates in Taiyuan are all urns, there are still weaknesses in the city, that is, the Water Gate in Taiyuan.

Almost all big cities will have water gates to facilitate the transportation of canals and bulk materials. Taiyuan City is no exception. Taiyuan's water gate is located in the northwest corner of the city and has a canal river connected to the Fen River to the west. Because of winter, the river water has frozen and the water gate has temporarily stopped using it.

But Water Gate is a shortcut to entering Taiyuan City. There is no urn city inside, only two iron gates as thick as wrists. The city gate is eight feet high. If the two iron gates are blown up, even cavalry can enter the city.

This plan was proposed by Liu Yanzong, the commander of the Han army, and received unanimous support from the generals. No one wanted his troops to suffer any further losses in the siege.

The specific implementation plan is for twenty Han soldiers, who are skilled in martial arts and quick in movements. Two miles away, five thousand Jurchen cavalry were ready, and they rushed towards the city gate just when the explosion sounded.

Twenty soldiers moved quickly, bent down and ran, and crawled on the ground, getting closer and closer to the city wall.

On the top of the city, the Song army was very alert. There were a thousand soldiers patrolling on the top of the north city. They were divided into ten teams and patrolling close to the city wall. There were also hundreds of soldiers standing at each battlement, monitoring any movement outside the city.

The general on duty tonight on the north city was commander Yang Wenyi, who was Liu Qi's subordinate. At this time, he hurried to the northwest corner of the north city. Several soldiers pointed at a distance and said, "I just saw someone running below!"

"Did you all see it?" Yang Wenyi asked.

Several soldiers nodded, "We have seen it. There are about a dozen to twenty people. They are all lying on the ground and not moving now."

Yang Wenyi immediately realized that there might be an enemy situation. On the one hand, he sent soldiers to inform Liu Ya, and at the same time, he urgently dispatched a thousand soldiers to rush to the northern city for support.

Twenty Jin soldiers under the city also found soldiers gathering on the top of the city to observe below. They suddenly felt something was wrong and had to lie on the ground, not daring to run forward any further. Then they entered the range of the Song army's divine arm crossbow without a clear grasp. They did not dare to expose their figures before they were sure.

At this time, Liu Qi also hurried to the northwest corner of the north city. In fact, when he heard that he had found an abnormality in the northwest corner, he immediately guessed that the target of the Jin soldiers must have been to rush to the water gate, wanting to explode the water gate and break into the city.

Yang Wenyi pointed to the distance and said, "There seems to be an ambush two miles away, and the brothers heard the neighing of the war horses."

Liu Qi looked into the distance intently and saw a faint black shadow shaking in the distance, and there was indeed an ambush.

"Did you report to the governor?" Liu Qi asked.

"Someone has been sent to report."

Liu Qi thought for a while and said, "Don't alert the enemy first, and then decide after the governor comes."

Soon, Li Yanqing also rushed over after hearing the news. Liu Qi came forward and whispered to Li Yanqing to report the soldiers' discovery, and said, "It is obvious that the other party wanted to use the same trick again, explode the water gate, and open the passage into the city."

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Can you make a sound attack on the west? The target is other places."

"The possibility is not high, and that will reveal their intentions, but since the general public is worried, they can strengthen their guards everywhere."

Li Yanqing nodded, "First, strengthen vigilance, and second, block the possibility of them coming in through the water gate. Is there any way to add a third door?"

Liu Qi thought for a while and said, "It is best to use a huge rock to block the door, but the huge rock must be prepared tomorrow as soon as possible. Beiyi can first use giant ice to seal the water city gate from the inside, so that even if the Jin soldiers blow up the iron fence, they will not be able to enter."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "You can prepare the giant ice cube first, but don't rush to seal the door. Wait until the Jin soldiers exploded for the first time before sealing the door."

Liu Qi suddenly realized, "Does the governor want to use the trick?"

Li Yanqing sneered: "Since they can't remember the lesson, I will let their lessons be deeper."

The soldiers lying on the ground under the city lie down for half an hour and their bodies are about to freeze. The defenders on the city gradually dissipate, which makes the twenty soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.

"Boss, do you want to continue moving forward?" asked several soldiers.

The leader Jin soldier glanced at the cavalry behind and said to a subordinate: "Go back and ask, see if the superiors want to continue?"

The soldier slowly retreated and soon, the soldier who went back to report the news came back and lay on the ground and said to the leader: "General Alihu rebuked us for being timid and useless. He delayed too much time. He asked us to go to the water gate first. If the Song army is not abnormal, then thunder will be lit. If we are discovered, then give up the action and warn us not to give up the action without authorization, otherwise we will be beheaded!"

The leader was a little embarrassed. What does it mean to have no abnormalities? He just reported it when he found out that there was an abnormality. To be honest, the Jin soldiers were still unwilling to give up, and even suspected that they were lying about military affairs. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's go!"

Twenty soldiers got up again and ran towards the water gate quickly. This time they were not discovered by the Song army. They almost ran to the city in one breath and leaned against the city wall. The twenty Jin soldiers brought a total of three thunders, one of the iron gates inside and outside, and the other one was spare.

It is easier to explode the water gate. The Jin soldiers brought a cloth bag, tied it to the iron fence, and then placed the thunder in the cloth bag, and there was no abnormality from beginning to end.

At this time, the Jin soldiers of the ignition looked at the leader. As long as the ignition was lit, there was no room for regret.

The leader looked around for a while and confirmed that there was no abnormality. He nodded. The ignited soldiers lit the fire note and lit the fuse that shook the sky-shaking thunder. Twenty people ran to both sides, ran dozens of steps and lay on the ground. They could not run far away, and they had to blow up the iron gate inside.

In just a moment, the thunder thunder exploded, and the city wall swayed, and a thick smoke flew into the air, mixed with a large amount of ice chips in the middle. The explosion was so strong that almost the entire iron gate was broken and flew out more than ten feet away.

The explosion sounded like a signal. Ali, the commander of the Jin soldiers and ten thousand men, suddenly roared, "Kill!"

"Kill!"

Five thousand Jurchen cavalry suddenly launched, and five thousand cavalry rushed like a tide, overwhelming. One thousand guards from Wanyan's troops took the lead and rushed towards a sharp spear toward the water gate northwest of Taiyuan City.

According to the plan, when the Jurchen cavalry rushed one mile away, the second explosion should have exploded. At this time, another violent explosion came from the direction of the water gate.

Ali was very happy. The water gate must have been blown up. He hissed, "Get into Taiyuan City!"

In front of the water gate, twenty Jin Han soldiers were everywhere. The second thunder explosion was not caused by them, but a thunderclap dropped from the city wall, which fell between them. Before they could react, they exploded instantly, and all the twenty soldiers were killed. Their bodies were torn to pieces by shock waves and shrapnel, and their death was extremely tragic.

At this time, the Song army in the city was quickly transporting large ice cubes. The huge ice cubes were transported from the ice cellar. In fact, they were already ready and kept placing them next to the water gate. When the second thunder exploded, the Song army immediately stuffed the huge ice into the city cave and then closed an iron gate inside.

Just as the iron gate was closed, five thousand cavalry had already reached one hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall. At this moment, the long arms of the city were swung out, and dozens of thunders flew up from the city and flew over the cavalry group. Dozens of thunders exploded in a series of explosions above the cavalry's heads. The poisoned iron sheets burst into densely in all directions. The huge explosions frightened the war horses, and the cavalrymen were tilted up their horses, countless of them.

At the same time, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared on the top of the city, raised their divine arms and crossbows to fire at the cavalry. Arrows from the Storm Peninsula shot towards the cavalry group. Five thousand cavalry suffered heavy casualties. The Jurchen cavalry was so scared that they were scattered. The cavalry behind turned around and fled to the north.

Wanyan Chang, who was standing in the distance watching the battle, was filled with regret, and his heart seemed to be bleeding. He could no longer help but roar and punched the tree hard.
