Song Jun took out a total of 40 such fierce fire oil cabinets, one every three meters.

Flames erupted from the tower for a moment, and some Jin soldiers who had just climbed up were immediately swallowed by the terrible flames.

Some clothes were set on fire and fell down with flames, while others were burned and then fell down immediately.

With a bang, he fell to the ground, and his internal organs were shattered.

The Jin army behind them kept climbing up, and did not stop because the Song army used the fierce fire oil tank.

This shows the tenacity of the Jin army in combat.

Although the fierce fire oil tank attack is limited, it is more than enough to defend the city.

In this way, the two sides fought fiercely at the top of the city, and more than half an hour passed.

The death toll of the Jin army has exceeded 500.

The Song army also suffered a lot of casualties. As a defender of the city, more than 100 people were seriously injured and more than 20 people died in the battle.

People kept climbing up the tower and carrying the wounded and dead down.

Doctors had already been prepared near the city tower. When they saw people being carried over, they quickly gathered some ordinary people and carried medicine around them.

"Quickly, take off their armor."

The soldiers and civilians took off the heavy armor from the soldiers.

Some of the heavy armor was hit by stone cannons, and the armor pieces were embedded in the flesh and cut into the bones. When they took off the heavy armor, the soldiers screamed in pain, their faces turned pale, and cold sweat poured down their foreheads.

The people on the side were frightened and burst into tears.

Some people were hit in the head. Although they were protected by helmets, the force was so great that the helmets were deformed.

When people carefully took off their helmets, they found a long crack on their heads, where plasma was stuck, which was shocking.

Some soldiers who died in battle were covered with white cloth and carried away from here.

Their remains will be sent home to their families.

It could be that the child has lost a brave father, or it could be that a mother who is still in stitches at home has lost her just-adult son.

The soldiers and civilians who were staying in various places in the city fell silent when they saw the people being carried out wearing white cloths.

Human beings are most easily deceived by prosperity, thinking that peace is the norm. It is not until the moment of war that humans realize that war and destruction are so close.

The war is still going on, and the thunderous war drums and noisy shouts of killing outside the city are like a huge palm, overwhelmingly pressing down on everyone's heart.

Time seems to have slowed down.

More than half an hour passed, but it seemed like a century had passed.

The city began to change defenses.

The soldiers who were replaced trudged down and lay under the tower. They had exhausted all their strength.

Sweat soaked the clothes underneath.

When the soldiers and civilians below helped them take off their armor, they found that their sweat had frozen and was frozen together with the armor.

The battle on the top of the city showed no signs of abating, and the Jin army continued to climb up like crazy.

The Jin army's stone cannons also continued to hit, smashing countless small gaps in the battlements at the top of the city.

Rubbles and exploding iron cannons flew across the city.

Song soldiers kept falling, and people kept coming up to fill their positions.

The stone cannons on the corner tower of the Song Army also kept firing back.

After the stones were smashed, the swords came into contact with each other, with both sides wearing armor.

The weapons each fought fiercely included axes, iron bones, and hammers. No one used knives because they couldn't break armor at all.

An hour and a half has passed since the Jin army began to attack the city.

Song Jun's fierce fire oil has been changed countless times.

The Jin army climbed up to the top of the city and was driven down again. After being driven down, they climbed up again, going back and forth four or five times. The bottom of the city tower was covered with corpses of the Jin army.

Wanyan Yinshuke was about to continue mobilizing people to move forward when a military order from the rear came: "Marshal ordered the troops to retreat immediately!"

Before Wanyan Yinshu could say anything, the sound of gongs and drums came from behind, indicating that Ming Jin was withdrawing his troops.

Wanyan Yinshuke shouted with a sullen face: "Withdraw!"

The golden soldiers who were attacking the city withdrew like a tide.

Wanyan Yinshuke rode his horse and ran to the commander's position: "Marshal, why are you withdrawing your troops?"

Wanyan Zonghan's face looked a little ugly: "Now is not the time to attack the city!"

"We have already captured half of the battle, and we are about to capture it soon..."

Wanyan Zonghan said angrily: "Where do you think it is going to be captured?"

"this……"

The conceited and arrogant Yin Shuke is of course not happy, Yin Shuke is definitely a strong general.

In field battles, cavalry charges, and infantry formations, he is a master, but in siege warfare, he is not necessarily a master.

Wanyan Zonghan said again: "Go to the west city gate to inform Zong Wang to withdraw his troops."

"yes!"

"Marshal, the general is puzzled."

"The situation has changed." Wanyan Zonghan only said this, and then, surrounded by the personal guards, he returned to the coaching camp.

Wanyan Zongwang's troops at the West Gate were no better. They attacked the city continuously and more than a thousand people died.

In ancient wars, those at the front were definitely not the cannon fodder as people imagined.

Those at the front are experienced veterans.

War is not a one-on-one battle; military affairs are extremely complex subjects.

It includes social psychology, individual psychology, organizational behavior, finance, technology, management, etc.

The most important point is morale. Famous commanders, both ancient and modern, both at home and abroad, all value morale.

For example, "Sima Fa Yan Wei No. 4" mentions: In all battles, win with strength for a long time, win with Qi, win with solidity for a long time, win with danger, win with a solid heart, and win with new Qi.

The Western work "On War" also talks about the elements of war: spiritual elements, material elements, mathematical elements, geographical elements and statistical elements.

Among them, spiritual elements and everything caused by their effects belong to the first category. Spiritual elements run through the entire field of war. They are closely integrated with the will that drives and controls the entire material force, as if fused into one body.

You see, Clausewitz, the author of On War, is considered the father of modern warfare.

He also highly praised the role of spiritual power in war, which coincided with the ancient Chinese art of war's interpretation of morale.

This principle was well illustrated in Cao GUI's debate.

No matter how powerful the troops are, morale will suffer. The reason why you see those troops fighting to the last soldier is because their commanders and army concepts quickly repaired their morale after a short period of damage.

But quick repairs must give the military a chance to breathe.

Zong Wang also called for gold and retreated his troops.

Because he also found that the morale of the Song army's defenders was strong now, which seemed to be very different from some time ago.

Attacking a city when the enemy's morale is at its peak is not a decision made by a qualified commander.

After the Jin army retreated, Chengtou immediately sent the news back, and the tense atmosphere in the city finally eased somewhat.

The commander-in-chief of the Jin army and senior generals all gathered at Wanyan Zonghan's camp.

"I almost bulldozed the West City Gate!" Wanyan's mother sat down and yelled, "What do you want to do if you withdraw your troops at this time!"
