The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Han Chang, who was guarding the west gate, hid in the middle of the Song Dynasty's fierce artillery fire. The city tower was supposed to be his command post, but it was reduced to ruins in the first round of artillery fire. Now it is burning with raging fire. If he stayed inside, he would be afraid.

It had become a roasted pig. Not to mention the war tents and enemy towers. After searching around, he found that the city gate, which was more than half blocked, was the best bunker. It was spacious inside and had a thickened roof.

, the protective wall cannot be penetrated no matter what.

As the Song army's bombardment became more and more fierce, Han Chang realized that his judgment last night was wrong. The West City he was guarding was the enemy's main target. When he sent someone to report to the commander for reinforcements, he was directly rejected.

Yan Liang still believed that the East City was the key point, and the West City was violently attacked, but it was Zhao Er's trick. As soon as the reinforcements moved, they would launch a fierce attack in the East City, so he just asked Han Chang to be patient and persist.

"Command the troops, the trenches outside the city have been flattened, and all the fortresses have been destroyed!"

"Commanding the army, the soldiers outside the city suffered heavy casualties and requested to take shelter in the city temporarily!"

"Commander the army, the sergeants outside the city called the door again, saying that if they don't open the door, they will surrender to the Song army!"

"Command the army, all the defenders outside are dead!"

The scouts kept reporting the battle situation to Han Chang, but he always answered with "hmm" and said nothing more. In fact, he didn't know how to deal with this situation. The enemy's artillery fire was raging, and he had no power to fight back. Now he opened the city gate and let go.

The entry of the garrison outside the city is equivalent to letting the Song army into the city. Organizing a counterattack is even more ridiculous. The Song army's cannons are placed on three sides.

, four hundred steps away, no matter how good the shooter is, he can't shoot that far; the trebuchet can barely reach it, but now the lookout cart erected by the Song army outside the city is more than ten feet high, which can not only hit the enemy with one shot on the city wall.

They could see every movement clearly, and even the movement in the city could not escape their eyes. They were afraid that the trebuchet would be blown into the sky as soon as it was launched.

'Dong' Han Chang, who was leaning against the wall of the city gate, heard a muffled sound, and his body shook violently. Several loose wall tiles also fell down, grazing his head and falling to the ground into several pieces.

Then there was another heavy blow every few breaths, and the entire city wall collapsed.

He was trembling as if he had malaria. 'Bang' Another loud noise came from outside the cave. He only had time to take a look before he was knocked to the ground by a strong force, and his eyes were filled with smoke and dust and he couldn't see anything.' Buzz.

The buzzing ears were mixed with the screams of people.

"Commander the Army, the enemy began to bombard the city wall. The artillery shells fell into the city, killing and wounding dozens of soldiers and men!" A soldier with a face covered in blood got into the door hole, and it was difficult to distinguish which one was the commander.

The army reported to him. But looking at the confused look in Tongjun's one eye, he knew that he was blind in one eye and his ears were not functioning properly, so he could only yell loudly in his ear again.

"Go up to the city and take a look. Where does the Song army want to break the city? You go and gather the men to prepare earth bags, wooden fences and other stuffing materials to seal the damage. You report to the commander immediately that the Song army is attacking the west city. We

All the defenders outside the city have died for their country. Now the west city is in danger, please send reinforcements quickly!" Han Chang finally said

He spoke, and then walked out of the door that was no longer safe. The three subordinates received the order and went their separate ways. However, the soldier who went up to the city felt unhappy. He hunched over and climbed the city while muttering to himself. How come he was the unlucky one?

, If I had known that I would get this fatal job, I might as well have left the commander in chief confused!

Han Chang came out of the cave to look at the sky. It was almost noon, which should be the brightest time, but the smoke above Jinzhou City was like dusk. The sun hung there like a dim lantern, but the cannonballs streaking across the sky were like

It left streaks of dazzling light like meteors, and after falling, bursts of flames shot into the sky. Then the houses collapsed, and thick smoke rose into the sky with the flames.

The distance between the two opposite gates of Jinzhou City is only 500 steps, but the artillery range of the Song Army reaches hundreds of steps, which shows that the entire city is covered by artillery fire. Look at the crowds of people running in all directions on the streets.

Dead body, Han Chang shook his head helplessly. Jinzhou City is around the corner

It's only five miles away, but there are 60,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians concentrated in it. So many people squeezed into a place as big as a palm, filling the streets and alleys of Jinzhou City. Every falling cannonball will not

Failure often takes away the lives of several or even dozens of people.

The most worthless thing in war is human life. They are the victims at this moment. The trace of compassion in Han Changdu's eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye. He ordered his soldiers to drive away the people hiding under the city and divided his troops and soldiers into several echelons.

, immediately after the enemy begins shelling

He went up to the city to defend, and the people in front were all dead, and the people behind were filling in. He knew that once the Song army broke through the city wall, Jinzhou would be unsafe to defend, and the city was surrounded by everyone, so he dug two more trenches, and now

I have become trapped in a cocoon, and I can't escape even if I want to break out.

Thinking that the Song army might enter the city, Han Chang ordered Ding Zhuang and his soldiers to build a line of defense fifty steps behind the city. If there were no materials, they would use local materials, demolish houses, and cut down trees. The Song army would not be allowed to penetrate easily.

Suddenly there was chaos again. Seeing that my house was demolished, I instantly became a homeless person wandering the streets. But looking at the body of the stopper lying on the street, I could only cry loudly and there was nothing I could do...

There was a loud bang, and the thick city wall still failed to block the heavy blows of the Song army's heavy artillery, and collapsed helplessly. Before the smoke and dust dispersed, Han Chang hurriedly ordered the men to block the gap, and the soldiers went up to the city.

In the defense, if someone hesitated for a moment, he stepped forward and fell to the ground with a knife. Under the threat of death, the soldiers climbed up to the top of the city tremblingly, and the strong men tremblingly carried the earth bags and rushed to the gap.

But the artillery fire of the Song Army, which had just stopped for a moment, started again, and became more fierce. The artillery shells fell like raindrops on the top of the city, and among the crowds in the city. Several large artillery shells exploded at the collapsed gap, and nearly a hundred people were ready to add to the blockade.

The man who was doing the work was exploded with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The people behind him didn't dare to step forward after seeing it. The guy who threw him away suddenly retreated, but what was waiting for them at this time was a shower of arrows shot by the soldiers.

"Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!" Han Chang roared loudly and ordered the soldiers to drive away the civilians and brave the artillery fire to continue to block the gap. Groups of people were driven in one after another, but there were very few who survived the artillery fire.

Young, the people behind were forced to step on the corpses and continue to move forward. The gap was not blocked much, but the corpses around him had piled up into a hill, making it impossible to move forward, but Han Chang, who was red-eyed, still could not stop.

Motivated by this, he continued to fill in the blockage at the expense of human life.

When Han Chang commanded the troops to block the gap under artillery fire, the artillery fire suddenly turned towards the city and extended behind it, advancing like waves, turning Jinzhou City into a sea of ​​fire. And the shrill trumpet sounded outside the city, and he immediately

Realizing that the Song army was about to launch a general attack, they hurriedly used the gap between artillery fire to gather soldiers and go to the city. They used prepared swords and carts to temporarily block the gap to prevent the enemy from entering the city.

Han Chang could not help but gasp when he climbed to the top of the city. He saw that under the raging artillery fire, the city's defense facilities were completely destroyed, corpses were scattered everywhere, and few of the soldiers left guarding the city survived. Under the city, the Song army had already opened up a passage and a moat under the cover of artillery fire.

After being cut off, siege vehicles and bridge vehicles rolled forward under the push and pull of the troops. Flags were fluttering in front and behind them, and countless soldiers were ready to attack with guns.

"Fire arrows, don't let the enemy troops get close to the city wall." Han Chang waved his sword and drove the archers to fire arrows at the bottom of the city to prevent the enemy troops from building a bridge to climb the city. The Song army under the city also suddenly accelerated, holding up their shields to block the rain of arrows.

, machine guns also began to fire at the city head to cover the siege troops.

The machine gun firepower of the Song Army was fierce, especially the firepower points arranged on the siege vehicles. Its height exceeded the city wall and could shoot at the top of the city without any obstruction. Although the archers fought back desperately, they could not suppress the Song Army at all, and instead suffered

They suffered huge casualties and were unable to stop the approach of the siege vehicles. With the successful erection of several vehicle bridges, the Song army could directly

Pressing the city, a group of infantry first crossed the river and rushed straight into the gap that had been blown up by the artillery. They used the broken walls as cover to disperse the men who were still blocking the gap. A few explosive packs blocked the people in front.

The sword cart exploded, rushed into the city first, and quickly built a simple defense line. While resisting the enemy's counterattack, they climbed up the city and fought for the city wall...

"The city is broken..." Seeing the Song army's battle flag planted on the city, the Jin army, who had been frightened by the Song army's ferocious artillery fire, no longer had the heart to fight. They shouted and fled into the city, but their commander

Throw it at the top of the city.

"Tongjun, let's surrender! We are all Han people, and the Song army will not make things difficult for us." As the number of siege vehicles approached the city wall, more and more Song troops entered the city, and the Jin army, which suffered heavy casualties, was no longer able to stop it.

, only Han Chang and hundreds of soldiers were left to retreat to a section of the city wall relying on the turrets. Seeing that the situation was over, a centurion persuaded him.

"If you dare to surrender again, you will be punished on the spot!" Han Chang shouted sharply with a knife.

"Commander the army, our Han army has suffered all casualties, but the reinforcements have not arrived. It is clear that we..." The centurion was not willing to give in, and persuaded again, but before he could finish his words, he was struck by Han Chang with a knife.

He fell to the ground and saw that he was dead.

"If you dare to surrender again, this will be your fate!" Han Chang shouted, pointing at the corpse on the ground.

'Puff, puff...' Before Han Chang could finish his words, several sharp knives were thrust into his back, penetrating through his armor, and he fell to the ground.

"Don't fight, we offer Han Chang's head to surrender!" Before Han Chang could close his eyes, his head had been chopped off. He raised it high with a spear and surrendered to the Song army. He first served the Liao Dynasty, and then followed his father.

Jiang Jin. But in the Battle of Yanjing, Han Qinghe Jiang Song was able to end well, but he ended up like this. I don't know how he felt at the last moment.

Han Changshou marked the fall of the West City. The Wolf divided his troops into three groups, one of which was attacking along the main road towards the center of the city, and the other two groups were developing along the city wall to the south and north of the city respectively. At this time, the east wall of the city was also being fired by artillery.

The bottom collapsed, and the Tiger Wing Army also broke into the city... (To be continued)
