On the enemy's building in the south gate of Taiyuan City, Wanyan sat on a lifting rod, holding the guards and medical officers on both sides. At this time, the Taiyuan guard stared blankly at the distance outside the city and faintly passed by.

The Tianzhu Army's strong cavalry exploration was silent.

Compared with ten days ago, the pleated flesh of the Dragon and Tiger King was actually smoothed out a lot, with protruding cheekbones, slightly sunken cheeks, dull eyes, chapped lips, and a messy beard.

, almost covering most of his face, and he looked quite depressed.

As a veteran who has experienced many battles, Wanyan Tuhesu's will and nerves are extremely tough, and shouldn't have been defeated so easily. However, this time the defeat was too miserable and the losses were too great, even his own deputy general

Han Qinghe also broke in. The Taiyuan City, which was originally guarded by tens of thousands of people, was only 4,000 left, and a total of 6,000 troops, and they all lost. This was not only because he had lost since he started the army with Taizu.

The worst time, even the prestige was ruined. More importantly, the lack of troops caused the Taiyuan city defense to be empty. If it were not for the urgent issuance of 3,000 Ding Zhuang to assist in defending the city, I wouldn't know how to guard this sheepskin that was leaking.

The Taiyuan City.

In addition to the major psychological blow, physical trauma is also an important reason for Wanyan Tuhesu's expression of haggardness.

On the same day, Zhang Rui shot his left thigh with a shot. The lead bullet passed through the gap of the armor skirt and shot into the quadriceps. The bullet rolled and hit the femur. Because the lead cartilage was hard, the bones were not broken, but the lead bullet was broken.

With the surgical level of this era, even if he is a famous doctor in Taiyuan Prefecture, he cannot remove the broken shrapnel. After ten days, no matter how much medicine, cleaning, applying a bag, or acupuncture, the wound will be uncontrollably red, swollen, inflamed, and suppurating and water flowing.

The severe pain and high fever made a lively Jurchen man lose weight. Not to mention riding a horse and bent his bow, even holding a cup of tea.

Wanyan Tuhesu no longer dares to underestimate the Tianzhu Army. He can defeat thousands of his troops head-on with equal forces. The combat effectiveness of this army is definitely not inferior to that led by Zonghan and Lou Shi.

The Jurchens are strong in the army. What's even more terrifying is that this army is not only very strong, but also has amazing forces.

Before Wanyan Tuhe quickly sent troops. According to Zong Fu's military newspaper and the rewards of pacification, it was estimated that the number of soldiers killed about six or seven thousand was about six or seven thousand, so he sent Han Qinghe's army and himself three thousand.

Reinforcements. I never expected that the hidden strength of the Tianzhu Army was several times more than what I knew. What is even more incredible is that the other party dared to besiege Taiyuan and divide troops to block the enemy with just tens of thousands of people. This is what

You have to be more courageous than to do such a thing!

"Gao Du, I confirm that the Tianzhu Army that besieged the three gates of our Taiyuan City only has more than 10,000 troops?" Wanyan Tuhesu was still a little unbelievable, and asked a general around him who was about thirty years old and had a strong expression.

This military general was the newly promoted deputy general of Wanyan Tuhe after Han Qinghe's death, Gao Yong, deputy commander of the Taiyuan Infantry Army. Gao Yong was also from the Yanjing Han Army signing army and was highly valued by Han Qinghe. He was respectful at this time

The local salute said: "If you return to the capital, the enemy troops who blocked each junta only had three or four thousand troops. There were enemy camps in the direction of Jinyang, and there seemed to be few people, and the total number of enemy camps would not exceed

Ten thousand people.”

"If you dare to besiege Taiyuan City with 15,000 troops!" Wanyan Tuhesu sneered, "When I followed the left deputy marshal and besieged Taiyuan City guarded by the Song army, our army had 60,000 troops, even if

In this way, it took eight or nine months to break through the city... I want to see how his more than 10,000 troops captured my Taiyuan City!"

Wanyan Tuhe is very confident. In terms of field battles, the mixed army of Khitan and Han under his command cannot be compared with the elite Jurchens. But in terms of defending the city, this army of miscellaneous troops is stronger than the Jurchens. Of course, he advocates it in his bones.

Offense is the best defense, Wanyan Tuhe Speed, and he will never be willing to trap Choucheng. He still has the last mobile force in his hand, two hundred Jurchen Iron Cavalry.

Before the Tianzhu Army completed its encirclement, Wanyan Tuhesu had already forced himself to support his sick body and made arrangements for the city defense. Five hundred soldiers were arranged to garrison in the three gates of the east, south and north, all of which were old soldiers, including the bow.

More than half of the crossbow soldiers were full of arrows. These three passes can be said to be the Taiyuan barrier. These three barriers have not been lost for a day, and Taiyuan is worry-free for a day.

The remaining two thousand old soldiers were mixed with the newly issued three thousand Han troops and stationed on the outer city of Taiyuan and the four walls of Zicheng. The most elite two hundred Jurchen iron cavalry and three hundred elite soldiers were directly controlled by Wanyan Tuhesu.

Keep it in your hands as a reserved motor force.

Despite this, Wanyan Tuhesu still felt that his troops were short of strength and five thousand soldiers guarded the outer city and the Zicheng eight walls. Each wall was only 600 people defended, and more than half of them were new people...every time I remembered this,

Wanyan Tuhesu was extremely saddened by the 6,000 soldiers who were destroyed in Tuqiao and Shouyang City... Now, he can only hope that the three gates of Taiyuan can perform the fierce attack on the Jin army's Western Route Army.

, causing significant damage to the enemy invading this time, and thus delaying the enemy's siege.

Wanyan Tuhesu never expected that the Taiyuan Sanguan City, which he had high hopes, would change hands at an astonishing speed within one day...

On April 12, with the order of the First Field Commander, the three mixed brigades sent heavy armored spearmen, sword barracks and musket barracks to officially launch an attack on the three passes.

Seeing the well-armed, well-formed and high-spirited troops under the city, Wanyan Tuhesu's face became heavier. At the Battle of Tuqiao, he was defeated and the most embarrassing thing was that he almost didn't.

When I saw what the enemy's army looked like, I saw the bright chariot city and the deadly flames from beginning to end. At this time, I finally saw the true face of this army. Although I had not fought, it was not difficult to see with his experienced eyes that this was

A truly powerful army.

However, what confused Wanyan Tuhesu and Taiyuan Jin army was that this army that was preparing to attack seemed to have no siege equipment. And after gathering, they stood still, as if they were waiting.

What are they waiting for? Do you really expect to dig a tunnel to enter the pass city and send a message early that the enemy has dug the tunnel for several days in a row, and it seems that it has dug under the city wall.

Wanyan Tuhesu knew very well about the trick of digging tunnels. When the Jin army attacked Taiyuan that day, they used this trick many times, but it had little effect. They were repeatedly broken by the Song army by fire, water, and stone blocking.

Hundreds of elite soldiers were lost. Although they suffered enough on that day, they also paid enough tuition. Now when they meet the Tianzhu Army who is playing this trick, the Taiyuan Jin Army has a lot of experience in dealing with it.

I'm afraid you won't come, so when I come, I'll try the hardships we suffered that day. This is Wanyan's idea of ​​gloating quickly.

The Tianzhu Army was indeed digging tunnels. In three days, the tunnels had been dug from one mile away from the three passes to the base of the city wall. Today is the day of the first battle to blast the city to seize the city. Just after Chen Shi, after a full meal, he had enough rest.

The engineering camp blasted the city, from the tunnel that had been dug long ago, passed through the three gates and the city walls, and then emerged from the ground at the base of the city wall. Under the cover of the cave house, rolled the wood under the turbulence, and quickly dug out the blasting points one by one. Then, the

Twelve large wooden barrels containing 500 kilograms were rolled in and pushed in. After igniting the fire rope, they quickly evacuated from the tunnel.

When Taiyuan City was sharpening its swords and guns, setting its bow and arrows, staring at the three large arrays outside the city, and being on guard, a series of earth-shaking shocks caused the soldiers in the city to fall and tremble.

The three gates in the east, south and north were all blown up by a gap of more than one meter. The crushed sand and stones formed slopes one by one. The smoke filled the three infantry phalanxes that were ready to go were ready, both fast and slow.

Holding a gun, he rushed to the gap in Guancheng with a tremor in the footsteps. At this time, on the walls of Guancheng, there were defenders like wooden stakes, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, or a black face.

On top, there were dull expressions and terrified eyes...

In this era, if a siege party kills the city head many times, even if it is repeatedly driven down, it will be a heavy pressure on the guards' psychology. When the city wall collapses, the enemy comes in a fierce manner, and the psychological pressure on the guards' psychology.

The strike was almost an order, and no one would think that the city could be preserved under such circumstances. When the soldiers of the brigade of the Zhu army leaped onto the city wall that day, the Jin army in Guancheng fled like a tide and rushed to Taiyuan.

City gate.

The soldiers of the mixed brigade did not pursue the enemy, but quickly occupied and consolidated the city and received a large amount of baggage discarded by the enemy. The first, second and third cavalry regiments, which had been held for too long, were in Yang Zaixing, Yang Zhechong, and Fang.

Under Hong's leadership, he rushed out from the east, south and north directions. He used a sharp blade to easily kill the defeated soldiers who had no intention of fighting.

Two thousand four hundred iron cavalry, chasing more than a thousand desolate infantry soldiers, was easier than chopping wooden men on the training ground. They chased and chopped until an arrow from Taiyuan City. They saw the bowstrings on the city wall and the arrows shining.

At the same time, the sound of gold sound came from the central army behind, and the cavalry soldiers turned around in disappointment. They stepped on the corpse and sticky plasma, raised their blood blades and howled, and ran around Taiyuan City.

Among the three major cavalry regiments, the proportion of the Western Army scattered soldiers was relatively high. In the past, they were on the city wall, staring at the Xixia people with fast horses bent bows under the city, and the Liao people and Jin people demonstrating around the city.

.And today, it is rare for them to be proud.

There were only two or three hundred surviving Jin soldiers who escaped the disaster and ran to the gate of Taiyuan City, all of whom looked at the arrogant Han army cavalry, which was as trembling as the Jurchen hero in their impression.

Three solid city, with 1,500 elite soldiers, within half a day, the city was broken, the barriers were lost, and all the soldiers were lost.

The defenders on the Taiyuan city wall looked at the huge gaps with black smoke not far away, as if they saw the scene of Taiyuan city in the next moment, all looked panicked, unconsciously looking back quietly, looking at the rod lifting up the enemy's building.

The silence on the silence...

After the defeat of the Jin soldiers, Wanyan Tuhesu closed his eyes speechlessly until the city was killed and the entire battlefield became extremely quiet, and then slowly opened his eyes. The pair of eyes that were so sharp that they were once extremely glorious were in a state of bleakness.

, murmured: "It turns out that there is such a method of siege. No wonder Shouyang lost it overnight... Tianzhu army was killed on behalf of Tianzhu. Did they say that?"

Gao Yong took a step forward and whispered: "The capital is in charge, the gunpowder of the Tianzhu Army is so sharp, destroying the city and shattering the village, like a cone penetrates the white silk, just like defending alone, I'm afraid..."

Wanyan's expression was slightly lit up, and his eyes flashed: "Board instead of defense?"

Gao Yong said worriedly: "If you can't go back to the game, you're afraid that our army's morale will be lost before the reinforcements arrive."

Wanyan suddenly glanced across the left and right, and saw the anxious expression of the defenders on the city wall. His chest felt stuffy, and suddenly he coughed violently. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his sleeves. When he slowly moved it away, there was a dazzling red color on the white sleeves.
