The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and there was chaos in front of Huizhou City.

The new army of Xixia who broke into the camp was defeated miserably. Almost all the generals were killed in the battle. There were only a few thousand soldiers left and they were driven outside the west gate of Huizhou.

The west gate of Huizhou was closed tightly, and Mi Qinzan's sword climbed up to the top of the city, looking at the scene below with a blank look on his face.

what happened?Where have the fifty thousand troops gone?Where are He Lian Hu Bao and those commanders and generals?Why...are there only a few people left?

The remnants of the army below kept hitting the city gate, and they were not without weapons in their hands. Many people were carrying logs. "Bang, bang," they seemed to hit Mi Qinzan's chest hard.

From the rear, the Song army slowly pressed forward, shooting arrows from time to time to put pressure on the remaining troops, who desperately tried to open the solid wood and iron door.

The Song army did not accept surrender. If they could not enter the city, they would die. The only way to survive was to open the city gate.

Zhao Tong was sitting on the horse at this moment, squinting at everything. Zhang Xian's seven-kill series was successful. He lured the enemy in, harassed and sneaked attacks, confused the enemy, and cooperated with the group to win more with less, defeating Xixia's army that was five times larger than his own.

The camp was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, a scene like Shura hell. Zhao Tao suddenly had an idea and drove out the remaining people, hoping to see if he could take this opportunity to open the gate of Huizhou City.

Although there are still thousands of soldiers guarding Huizhou now, they no longer have generals to command them, and many of the weapons used to defend the city, such as stone cannons, were taken away when they went out to attack the Song army's camp. At this moment, the city head no longer looks like The barriers were so tight before.

At this time, Yang Zhi commanded his soldiers to shoot arrows at these Xixia soldiers from a distance, forcing them to rush against the city gate. With so many people gathered under the city, it was not impossible to violently destroy the city gate. After all, Huizhou's reaction was a bit slow. It did not stop these remaining soldiers from running down the city.

Mi Qinzandao looked pale at the top of the city. He leaned over and watched. A total of 6000 to [-] people gathered below, all of whom were new troops coming to support.

These are his own people, and if they are in the city, they will be a viable force. However, he did not dare to order the city to be opened and let them in. The Song army was not far away and was watching eagerly. Once the city gate is opened, these people will swarm in. When the time comes, If the Song army comes up behind and the west gate of Huizhou is blocked, the west gate of Huizhou will not be safe. Once the west gate of Huizhou is not safe, the entire Huizhou city will be in danger.

Mi Qinzandao weighed the pros and cons and thought a lot in his mind. When he heard the sound of banging on the city gate getting louder and louder, he sighed and ordered: "Put down the wooden lime bottles to drive away these remnants of the army!"

The soldiers beside him immediately showed their unbearable expressions, but the situation in front of them was very clear. They really didn't dare to open the city gate to let people go, and they didn't dare to let these remnant troops continue to destroy the city gate. There was no other way but to drive them away.

After the pro-army troops passed the order, they immediately took action from the top of the city. All they saw were various objects rolling down. The remnants of the army gathered in front of the west gate were unable to dodge, and they were immediately hit with brains bursting, bones broken, and tendons broken.

At this moment, they have no way to retreat and no way to move forward. They cry for father and mother, and they can only wait for the tragic fate of death.

Yang Zhi frowned as he watched from behind. This Xixia coach is really cruel. These are his fellow comrades. At this moment, he would rather smash them to death than open the city gate to let them in. It is so cold-blooded and ruthless.

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes and whispered to Li Yanxian next to him. Li Yanxian immediately led a sentry out, joined Yang Zhi's troops, and then commanded the soldiers to shout loudly.

What he was shouting was that the Xixia general was vicious-hearted, worse than an animal, and unworthy of being a human being.

Then he started firing arrows to kill them, and while shooting back, he reminded the remnants of the Xixia army that if they wanted to survive, they had to break open the city gate, otherwise they would be dead, and they would never survive.

The remnants of the army suffered numerous casualties, so they were unable to retreat. The arrows behind them were like locusts, and they had no chance of survival. They could only move forward and hit the city gate desperately.

At this moment, many people in the remnant army were already red-eyed. Everyone on the left and right was dead. The only way out was to open the front door.

They all picked up the big wooden piles, regardless of life or death, and rushed to hit the iron door without stopping for a moment.

This method of ramming the city gate is most afraid of continuing, because no matter how strong the city gate is, even if the back of the gate is filled with rocks and soil, it will always break.

As long as the inertia continues, there is no door that cannot be opened. However, during a normal siege, if soldiers hit the door, the city will focus on greeting them. All kinds of things will be smashed down, and arrows and crossbows will be fired. They will not call the opponent all the time. Keep going.

But it's different now. If you can't open the city gate, you will die, so no one thinks about anything else. They all rush to hit it. Even if the attack from above is fierce, they keep moving forward. As long as there is someone who falls, someone will immediately follow up and hit the door. The action never stopped.

And it was not one wooden pillar that hit the door, but three or four, all as thick as a person's arms and extremely heavy. If this continued, the city gate would have been deformed.

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes as he watched from behind, something was going on!It is impossible to say that these Xixia remnants can really break through the Huizhou city gate. As long as the outer gate of Huizhou is broken, everything will be fine and it will be easy to capture the city.

Because no matter what obstructions are piled inside the city gate, they can be removed and removed. Even if the Thousand Jin Gate is put down, it can be destroyed by finding a way.

Inside the city gate is a city cave of more than ten feet. The city head cannot be attacked here, so it can be done day and night, little by little.

"Come here!" He immediately ordered: "Adjust the artillery and crossbows to cover the city and break the gate!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the soldiers immediately pushed the cannon, lathe, crossbow and other objects into the shooting range, and then started firing "boom boom boom".

Just look at the bluestones flying across the sky, and the crossbows firing randomly, all directed towards the position above the city gate, because this is where the guards throw rolling logs and stones downwards. As long as this is controlled, the pressure on the Xixia remnants who hit the door below will be greatly reduced. . "Don't stop, keep attacking!" Zhao Tong gave the second order.

A moment later, there was only a loud "rumbling" sound, and the entire city tower above the west gate collapsed. Mi Qinzandao in front stood up from his chair with a sudden change, his face changed drastically.

He was extremely angry at the moment, what was going on?The Xixia soldiers attacked the city, and the Song army cooperated with the cover from the rear, but there was no other way to stop it.

"Fight back, fight back!" he roared angrily: "Smash all the rebels below the city to death, leaving no one behind!"

The defenders at the top of the city immediately increased their efforts to throw wood and rocks, but at this moment they could only hit some people nearby, because there was no way to get close to the top of the city gate.

In this way, the city gate became a safe place. It was difficult to shoot arrows on the city, and there was nothing missing from above. For a moment, the remnants of the army below crowded towards the city gate with a huff.

Just a moment later, there was only a "click" sound, followed by a continuous crashing sound, and the west gate of Huizhou was broken!

Just look at the two large iron-clad wooden doors, which are more than three feet thick, shattered and fell on both sides, and the sand and gravel behind the door instantly overflowed.

Zhao Tong was immediately overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly gave orders to the soldiers, asking them to shout that they must rush into Huizhou City to save their lives. For a moment, the remnant Xixia army at the city gate seemed to be going crazy and moved stones outside. piece of gravel.

Mi Qinzan Dao, who was on the city, turned pale and turned to ask the soldiers next to him: "Has the Qianjin Gate been released?"

The soldier said: "Master Commander, you gave the order before and the gate has been closed long ago."

Mi Qinzandao was stunned when he heard this, and then he patted his head suddenly, but he drank too much wine and forgot about it.

But it is not safe to put down the Thousand Jin Gate. The gate is inside the city gate. No matter how strong it is, it can block the opponent for a while, but it will not be able to block it for a lifetime. When the time comes, if you slowly work inside, won't it mean that the city will have to be destroyed in the end?
Mi Qinzandao couldn't help but take a breath when he thought of this.

Almost all the [-] new reinforcements were wiped out, and Huizhou was lost again. This was not as good as Shikawa's previous loss of the city. At this moment, there were soldiers and horses, and they were lost under his nose. But it was a serious crime to lose his head. Even if he was in a high position and had a high status, The commander-in-chief of the Military Department, who oversees the military affairs department, cannot escape death.

Thinking of this, Mi Qinzandao's eyes flickered, and then he called his soldiers to whisper a few words, and then hurried down to the city.

At the city gate, the sand and gravel could not stop the remnant army who wanted to survive. At this time, there were still 4000 or [-] people left in the remnant army. They all dug out rocks and stones desperately. It didn't take long to dig deep into the city gate hole. Going a step further, you can already see the Qianjin Gate.

Huichuan City is an iron gate, and I don’t know how thick it is. These remnants of the army took their weapons and struck them randomly, but they couldn’t move them. They shouted with a bright mind: "They also used logs to hit them!"

Immediately, many people went back to the door and carried the big log over. Then they all carried it and slammed it against the gate.

Upon impact, the gate trembled three times. It seemed to be no stronger than the city gate. After all, it was not growing in the wall, but there was a gap above it and it slid down to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the remaining soldiers were overjoyed and hurriedly charged again.

I don’t know whether it was because the wall bricks in the Huizhou City Cave were too old, or because the remnants of the army had tried their best to survive. Just over an hour later, a loud noise was heard. The inner wall collapsed directly, and together with the thousand-pound gate, they all fell to the ground with a loud bang. Most of the remaining soldiers who hit the door were immediately killed.

But the remnant army behind them didn't care about this. When they saw the Qianjin Gate collapsed, they couldn't help cheering. Then they rushed forward to clean up the broken bricks and debris, dead bodies and dried wood. Seeing that there was still bluestone piled up behind the gate, they couldn't help but continue to carry it.

Zhao Tong held the telescope in his hand and carefully looked at the scene inside the doorway. At this time, the sun was in the west, and the light just shone in, so he could see clearly.

He called Zhang Xian and said: "Move all the troops and horses in the camp and prepare to enter the city!"

Zhang Xian's face was filled with joy: "Your Majesty, inside the city gate..."

Zhao Tong nodded: "The thousand-jin gate has been knocked over. It won't take long for the city road to be opened!"

Zhang Xian was even more happy when he heard this, turned his horse's head and went straight to the rear camp.

Less than half an hour later, shouts of joy came from the city gate. Even without a telescope, you could see that there was light penetrating through the doorway, and the city gate was completely opened.

The remnants of the army crowded under the city swarmed in. Li Yanxian and Yang Zhi in front hurriedly turned back to look at Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes, then waved forward vigorously: "Enter the city!"

Following his order, the horn sounded, and the army, like tigers coming out of the gate, rushed towards the gate of Huizhou...
