The struggle of the reborn prince

Han Chang, who was guarding the west gate, hid in the middle of the fierce artillery fire of the Song army. The tower was supposed to be his command post, but it was turned into ruins in the first round of artillery fire. Now it is burning raging fire. Has become a roast pig.Not to mention those battle sheds and enemy buildings.After searching around, he found that the city gate, which was more than half blocked, was the best shelter, not to mention the spaciousness inside, and the thickened roof and parapet, which could not be penetrated no matter what.

As the Song army shelled more and more fiercely, Han Chang realized that his judgment was wrong last night. The west city he was guarding was the main target of the enemy. When he sent someone to ask for reinforcements from the commander in chief, he was directly rejected. Yan Liang still believed that the east city was the key point, and the west city was under fierce attack, but it was Zhao Er's suspicious strategy. As long as the reinforcements moved, they would launch a fierce attack in the east city, so Han Chang just let Han Chang endure and persevere.

"Command the army, the trenches outside the city have been blown up, and all the camps have been destroyed!"

"Command the army, the soldiers outside the city have suffered heavy casualties, and they request to enter the city for shelter!"

"Command 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 killed! = Top = Point = Novel ="

The scouts kept reporting the battle situation to Han Chang, but he always answered with "um" and then there was nothing to say. 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 released When the defenders outside the city came in, it was tantamount to letting the Song army into the city.Organizing a counterattack is even more of a joke. The Song Army's cannons are placed three or four hundred paces away, and even the best shooters can't shoot that far away; The car is more than ten feet high.Not only can they see every move on the city wall clearly, but even the movement inside the city cannot escape their eyes. They are afraid that the trebuchet will be blown up as soon as it is launched.

'Dong' Han Chang, who was leaning on the wall of the city gate, heard a muffled sound, and his body shook violently, and several loose wall bricks fell down, rubbing his head and falling to the ground into several pieces.Immediately afterwards, there was another heavy blow every few breaths, and the entire city wall trembled as if it was suffering from malaria. There was another loud bang from outside the cave, and he was overturned to the ground by a strong force before he could take a look. His eyes were covered with smoke and dust, and he couldn't see anything, and his buzzing ears were filled with The howling of people.

"Command the army. The enemy army began to bombard the city wall. The shells fell into the city, killing and injuring dozens of soldiers and young men!" A soldier with blood on his face got into the hole in the door, and it was difficult to distinguish which one was the commander. The army reported to him.But looking at the bewildered look in Tongjun's single eye, he knew that he was blind in one eye.My ears don't work anymore.He could only lie next to his ear and yell loudly again.

"Go to the city and have a look. Where does the Song army want to break through the city? You go and gather young men to prepare earth bags, wooden fences and other fillings to seal the damage; immediately report to the commander-in-chief that the Song army is storming the west city. We The defenders outside the city have all died for their country, and now the west city is in danger, please send reinforcements quickly!" Han Chang finally spoke, and then left the door that was no longer safe.The three subordinates received the order to go separately, but the soldiers in the upper city were not feeling well. While climbing the city with his waist bowed, he murmured to himself, how could it be him who was unlucky? If he had known that he would get this terrible job, he might as well Let the army be confused!

Han Chang went out to look at the sky. It was almost noon, which should be the clearest time, but the sky over Jinzhou City was full of gunpowder smoke as if at dusk. The sun hung there like a dim lantern, but the cannonballs across the sky Like meteors, trails of dazzling light were left behind, and after falling, clusters of flames exploded into the sky.Immediately afterwards, the house collapsed, and thick smoke and flames rose into the sky.

The distance between the two opposing gates of Jinzhou City is only [-] steps, while the Song Army's artillery has a range of hundreds of steps, which shows that the entire city is under artillery fire.Seeing the scattered crowd and scattered dead bodies on the street, Han Chang shook his head helplessly.The city of Jinzhou is only five miles in radius, but there are [-] soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people concentrated in it.So many people squeezed into the palm-sized space, filling the streets and alleys of Jinzhou City.Every shell that falls will never fail, and often takes away the lives of several people, or even dozens of people.

The most worthless thing in a war is human life. They are victims at this moment. The pity in Han Chang's eyes is fleeting. He ordered the soldiers to drive away the people hiding in the city, and divided the army and young men into several echelons. , After the enemy army started shelling, immediately go to the city to defend. The people in front are dead, and the people behind will fill in.He knew that once the Song army broke through the city wall, Jinzhou would have no danger to defend, and the city was surrounded, not to mention, he dug two more moats, and now he is trapped in a cocoon, and he has no way to escape if he wants to break through.

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 was no material, they would use local materials, demolish houses, and cut down trees. They must not let the Song army enter easily.This time, there was chaos again. Seeing my house being demolished, I became a refugee on the street in an instant, but looking at the corpses of the stoppers on the street, I could only cry loudly and had no choice...

There was a loud bang, and the thick city wall still failed to block the heavy blow of the Song army's heavy artillery, and collapsed helplessly.Before the smoke dissipated, Han Chang hurriedly ordered the young men to block the gap, and the soldiers went up to defend the city. Some people hesitated a little, but 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 rushed to the gap tremblingly carrying earth bags.

But the artillery fire of the Song army, which had just stopped for a moment, fired again, and it became more and more violent. The shells rained down on the top of the city, among the crowd in the city.A few cannonballs exploded at the collapsed gap, and nearly a hundred young men who were about to carry out the blockage operation were blown to pieces. The people behind saw that they dared to step forward, and the guy who threw it away suddenly retreated, but at this time What awaited them was a shower of arrows from the soldiers.

"Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!" Han Chang roared loudly, ordering the soldiers to drive away the civilian man Ding Zhuang and continue to seal the gap despite artillery fire.Group after group of people were driven up, but very few survived the artillery fire, and the people behind could only step forward on the corpse under threat.The gap has not been blocked much, but the surrounding corpses have piled up into a hill, making it impossible to get down, but Han Chang, who is red-eyed, remains unmoved and continues to fill the gap at the expense of his life.

When Han Chang commanded all the troops to brave the artillery fire to seal the gap, the artillery fire suddenly turned to the city and extended to the back, advancing like waves, turning Jinzhou City into a sea of ​​flames.When the shrill trumpet sounded outside the city, he immediately realized that the Song army was about to launch a general offensive, and hurriedly used the gap between the artillery fire to gather soldiers to go to the city, and temporarily blocked the gap with the prepared knife cart to prevent the enemy from entering the city.

Han Chang boarded the top of the city and couldn't help but gasp. He saw that the defense facilities of the city were completely destroyed under the ravages of artillery fire.Under the cover of artillery fire, the Song army under the city had opened up a passage, the moat was cut off, and the siege vehicles and bridge vehicles rolled forward under the push and pull of the army.The front and rear flags were flying, and countless soldiers were ready to attack with guns.

"Fire the arrows, don't let the enemy approach the city wall." Han Chang swung his sword to drive the archers to shoot arrows down the city, preventing the enemy from building a bridge to climb the city.The Song army under the city also accelerated suddenly, holding up their shields to block the rain of arrows, and machine guns also began to shoot at the top of the city to cover the siege troops.

The machine guns of the Song Army were fierce, especially the firepower points placed on the siege vehicles. Their height was higher than the city wall, and they could shoot at the top of the city without obstruction. Although the archers fought back desperately, they could not suppress the Song Army at all. It caused great casualties, and it was impossible to prevent the approaching of the siege engines.With the successful erection of several vehicle bridges, the Song army can go straight to the city. A group of infantry crosses the river first, and rushes straight to the gap collapsed by the artillery. They dispersed under the cover of broken walls and are still blocking the gap. The young men, with a few explosive packs, blasted the knife carts in front of them, rushed into the city first, and quickly built a simple line of defense. While fighting against the counterattack enemy troops, they climbed up the city and competed for the city wall...

"The city is broken..." Seeing the battle flag of the Song Army planted on the top of the city, the Jin Army, who had been frightened by the fierce artillery fire of the Song Army, no longer had the will to fight, and fled to the city shouting, but sent their commanding army to the city. Throw it on the top of the city.

"Commander, we have surrendered! We are both Han Chinese, and the Song army will not embarrass us." As the number of siege vehicles approached the city wall, more and more Song troops went up the city, and the Jin army, which suffered heavy casualties, was powerless to stop. Only Han Chang and hundreds of soldiers were left to retreat to a section of the city wall relying on the turret. Seeing that the situation was over, a centurion persuaded him.

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

"Commander, our Han army has lost all casualties, but the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time. It is clear that we are..." The centurion was not reconciled, and tried to persuade him again, but before he finished speaking, Han Chang chopped him down with a knife. He fell to the ground, dying of sight.

"If you dare to surrender again, this is the end!" Han Chang shouted, pointing at the corpse on the ground.

'Puff, puff...' Before Han Chang could finish his sentence, several sharp knives stabbed through his back, piercing through his armor, and fell to the ground.

"Don't fight anymore, we offer Han Chang's head, please surrender!" Before Han Chang could close his eyes, his head had already been chopped off, he raised it high with a long spear, and surrendered to the Song army. Drop gold.But in the Battle of Yanjing, Han Qing and Jiang Song died well, but he ended up like this. I don't know how he felt at the last moment.

Han Chang gave the head to mark the fall of the west city. The wolves divided the troops into three groups, one along the main road to attack the center of the city, and the other two along the city wall to the south and north of the city respectively.At this time, the east wall of the city also collapsed under the continuous shooting of artillery, and the Tiger Wing Army also broke into the city...
