The Jin army's "iron artillery" fired one after another, streaking through the air like meteorites and densely hitting the city top.

Bang bang bang...

Countless explosions spread out horizontally on the city wall.

Thin pieces of iron scraped against the stones of the battlements, cutting countless fine marks.

The shield in Song Jun's hand was filled with thin scraps of iron.

Some pieces of iron pierced the shield directly and hit the armor.

Fortunately, he was protected by iron armor, otherwise the pieces of iron could easily cut through flesh and blood and enter the body.

Fortunately, during the Song Dynasty, gunpowder was not that powerful.

If this had been replaced by 19th century explosive shells, the city would have been completely destroyed.

Moreover, the gunpowder manufacturing capacity in the Song Dynasty was not perfect, and the Jin people's gunpowder quantity was also limited.

At this time, along the ladder, the first Jin soldier to climb up suddenly slashed at the Song army on the battlement with an axe.

Fortunately, the Song army reacted quickly and immediately used their shields to block the attack.

The banging sound was drowned in the noisy siege battle. The Song Army soldier only felt his arm shake, and the comrades next to him quickly pulled out the iron bone flower.

The Jin Jun who had not even had time to retract his ax was hit in the head by Tieguduo, and his iron helmet was dented.

Even though it is only a small piece, the skull underneath is basically broken.

He fell down unwillingly and fell to death on the Jin army at the foot of the city. He was thrown to the side and trampled under his feet.

No one paid attention to him, and the Jin troops below were crowded together and frantically climbed onto the goose carriage.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the southern wall of Tokyo City is almost covered with Jin troops.

It was a dense mass of darkness, like a dense swarm of ants.

You know, there are 300 ladders, and even if each ladder is only 20 meters apart, it is still 12 miles.

And the width of Tokyo City is exactly this width.

So many people crowded under the city and climbed up the city, like hungry wolves.

At this moment, they no longer care about military tactics or formations.

That is to use the crudest and simplest method to attack the city and take it down.

This is also Wanyan Zonghan’s appeal.

After all, war is as much business as it is politics.

The Jin Army invested a lot of manpower and material resources in moving south, and these all cost money.

The money spent must be brought back from the war.

There are two ways to get it back:

One, the other party will pay directly.

For example, in the first Battle of Tokyo at the beginning of the year, Wanyan Zongwang blackmailed Song Qinzong for 5 million taels of gold and 50 million taels of platinum.

In order to make the Jin army retreat, Song Qinzong and his ministers looted the city of Tokyo, and finally gave all the money to Wanyan Zongwang.

This time, Wanyan Zonghan's taste was even greater, and he asked for 10 million taels of gold and 250 million taels of silver.

This amount of silver almost exceeds the total amount of silver in this era.

After all, the main currencies of the Song Dynasty were copper coins and iron coins, not silver.

Second, capture Tokyo City, plunder the city yourself, occupy these lands, and collect taxes later.

This is a question of input and output.

If we only invest money but cannot capture Tokyo and cannot get money, then the battle will be a loss.

After investing so much money and fighting a losing battle, Wanyan Zonghan, one of the leaders of the main war faction, would find it difficult to beg Wanyan Wu for favors when he returned.

At least it will affect his political prestige in the court.

This also further drove Wanyan Zonghan to capture this city no matter what method he used.

And Zhao Ning also deeply understands the criticality of this war.

Therefore, no matter what method he uses, he must defend the city.

The situation at the top of the city was changing. The iron artillery of the Jin army's trebuchets poured in, and the thunder of the Song army's trebuchets roared away.

Countless Song troops were hit and injured by the explosion, and screams continued on top of the city.

The people behind kept dragging the wounded down, and then new people came up.

Likewise, countless Jin troops were injured by numerous thunderbolts.

Pain and madness intertwined, and blood burned in flames.

As soon as the Jin Army soldiers climbed up, they were beaten down by the Song Army's sword and axemen, Tie Guduo.

Every time a person fell, several others below were hit and fell to the ground.

More and more people are falling, and more and more people are climbing up the ladder.

A new round of Jin troops swarmed to the top of the city, and the Song troops attacked with axes.

Suddenly, a piece of iron artillery came and hit the Song soldier head-on, knocking him to the ground and exploding, affecting several Song soldiers around him.

Jin Jun took the opportunity to jump up quickly and climbed onto the tower.

This Jin soldier's movements were fast and ruthless, and he hit the mace in his hand hard, hitting the helmet of a Song soldier.

With a bang, half of the helmet collapsed.

And the thorns on the mace were also pierced.

Although the iron plate of the helmet was not blown through, a small part of the head was crushed.

The Song soldier was killed on the spot.

Before he had time to think about it, a Song soldier next to him came over with an axe.

There was no time to aim, no time to think, the ax struck the golden army on the shoulder.

There was a clang, but it didn't cut in, leaving a deep mark on the armor.

But due to the huge force, the Jin Army soldier was knocked back two steps.

During this process, other Song armies have followed.

Tieguduo hit the golden army, making a thumping sound.

The Jin army was surrounded and fell to the ground.

However, in such a short period of time, a defensive gap was left in this place. The Jin army behind quickly rushed up, and three people rushed up in one breath.

The hole in this defense is equivalent to being torn open.

The three men fought together with other Song troops, while the Jin troops behind them came up without blocking them.

The three Jin soldiers in front were killed, and five more came up behind.

more and more.

"Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers of the Song Army roared angrily, and someone wielded a big hammer with both hands and hit the Jin Army.

Some use the back of an ax to hit.

More Song troops came from both sides.

The Song soldiers with red eyes in front simply hugged the Jin soldiers and pushed them forward crazily.

The Song troops behind him who couldn't push him pushed them all together until they reached the battlements and fell down together.

The human flesh and blood body, wrapped in iron armor, fell from the top of the city and hit the densely packed golden army below. In an instant, it lost its last consciousness.

The body and the hit Jin Jun fell to the ground, and were then trampled by the Jin Jun who came up from behind.

The bodies piled higher and higher.

"Fire the oil tank! Hurry!"

In the noisy sea of ​​​​people, the Song Army officer at the top of the city shouted.

I saw a strong Song army holding a fire oil tank in one hand, roaring angrily, lighting it, and then rushed towards the battlements, spraying fire crazily at the Jin army who had just climbed up.

However, the wind and snow were too heavy.

The counselors of the Jin Army also took into account the heavy firepower of the Song Army, so they chose such weather to attack the city.

The effect of the fierce fire oil tank was not as great as last time. The fire was even blown in the direction by the strong wind, and its lethality was greatly weakened.
