Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1061
If Liu Jinzhong flees with 1 horses, then Guazhou will definitely not be able to defend, and Liu Jinzhong who escaped may not have a good end, and most of them will die in the cover of the Mongols.

Although Yu Yin was a little worried about Sun Kewang's actions, he could only acquiesce in the special period, and said that he would explain to Sun Kewang at the meeting.

If Sun Kewang could keep Guazhou, he would have saved the way for the Jin Kingdom to expand westward, and also saved a business route for the gentry in Guanzhong. It's a minor flaw.

After receiving Yu Yin's understanding, Sun Kewang immediately summoned the officers of the Liu Department to give instructions, and let Zhang Sheng and others take over the 1 people.

The Liu Department was originally a branch of the Western Army, and Sun Kewang still had some prestige among them. With the addition of ten generals, most of the two acquaintances rode first, leaving only two generals in the city, and the rest were low-level generals. In general, it is still relatively easy to control.

Following Sun Kewang all the way to the old department in Hexi, everyone was very excited to see that he had mastered the Liu department.

When the situation in the city changed, the Mongols outside the city had already set up camps and made simple siege equipment.

The 1 troops of the Liu Department had just changed officers, and their hearts were in turmoil. Sun Kewang was still a little worried, so he put them in the east city and the south city, two walls that the Mongols would not attack for the time being, and let the soldiers and officers have a period of running-in.

After the Mongols were stationed in the camp, the Chechens first went to Shucheng to let the defenders open the city and surrender. If not, once the city was broken, the army would not stay behind after entering the city.

Sun Kewang beheaded the messenger to show his determination to fight.

Seeing that the city would not surrender, Chechen immediately led tens of thousands of horses and set up a formation under the city, preparing to attack Guazhou. After the city was broken, he could rush to Jiayuguan and join his father Batur Huntaiji.

This southward battle may be related to Zhungeer's future successors, so Chechnya must perform well.

In the early morning, the Mongols formed a formation outside the northern city of Guazhou. Chechen put his hand on his forehead and looked at Guazhou in the distance. No matter how big or small, he dares to stop my Zhungeer's iron cavalry. That Sun is expected to be no more than a first-rate bandit, but he actually killed my envoy and broke this city. I will definitely slaughter the whole city to show my Zhungeer's military might!"

As he said that, Chechen looked at Ikeminan, the leader of the Huite Department, and said, "Let the Huite Department attack!"

The siege battle was costly. Although Chechen looked down on the small city of Guazhou, but the siege would kill people. Naturally, he couldn't waste Zhungeer's warriors. Such things as vanguards could only be done by the Huite Department.

In the field, the sound of horns soared into the sky, and all the attention of the soldiers on the top of the city was drawn to the outside of the city.

Sun Kewang rushed to the edge of the city wall in a few strides, and glanced at the Mongolian army formation below the city. He saw a gray figure, countless warriors from the Huite Department, carrying ladders and simple trench bridges, moving forward slowly.

The Mongol warriors brandished the scimitar and pushed forward towards the top of the city with a tsunami in their mouths. The attack and defense of Guazhou finally started.

On the northern city, the soldiers of the Golden Army on various sections of the city wall were on guard nervously. The gunners beside the iron sand cannons and bowl-mouthed guns had already been loaded and were manipulating the cannons to find targets. He took up his weapons.

Behind the city wall, next to more than a dozen artillery vehicles, several soldiers were holding iron rods and prying open the wooden box. One soldier took out a white stone bullet covered with bulges, and placed it carefully on the pole thrower. In the leather pocket, another soldier was holding a torch, ready to light the fire at any time.

It turned out that this stone bomb was not an ordinary stone, but a shocking thunder nicknamed Ten Thousand Enemies.

"Your Majesty, there are probably 2 people!" Sun Kewang said, watching the moving Mongolian soldiers and horses.

His name is Jiang Jianxun, and he also participated in the anti-Qing struggle in the south of Shanxi in history, but now the situation has changed. With the addition of Jin Guo, a regime that has gone the way of sinicization, some people who had originally embarked on the road of fighting the Qing were absorbed into Jin Guozhong Come.

"Don't worry, our fortifications are perfect. The Mongols obviously underestimated the enemy. They didn't have any large equipment, so they wanted to attack the city. We happened to beat them hard to boost the morale of the city!" Sun Kewang squinted his eyes at the Mongolian army who came to kill him, and said in a deep voice.

????At this time, the forwards of the Huite Division had entered the firing range of the Jin Army's artillery and artillery vehicles, but Sun Kewang was not in a hurry to launch an attack. With his experience in defending Luzhou, he knew that he had to wait until he could inflict the greatest damage on the enemy. It's worth it to attack.

The city of Guazhou is relatively thin. If you want to defend the city, you must first increase the morale of the defenders, and second, you must severely damage the morale of the enemy.

This time the cannon cart threw out not stone bullets, but ten thousand enemies, thunder that shook the sky. Even if there were not many Ming Dynasty who were good at using firearms, it was not easy for Jin Guo to make one. Only by exerting the greatest effect can we not lose money!
The generals of the Jin army on the top of the city could already see the faces of the Huite warriors. The mysterious soldiers rushed to the fortifications of the Ming army carrying ladders. Suddenly, the whole ground collapsed, and the Mongolian warriors in front rolled into the pit. A few people were immediately pierced by spikes.

The appearance of the trap slowed down the speed of the Mongols, and the people behind caught up with the people in front, and the Mongolian forwards began to crowd, and the number of people quickly became dense.

When they erected the trench bridge and moved away the horse antlers, more people were blocked on one side of the trench, and countless people crowded together.

"Why don't the defenders in the city fight back?"

Seeing that the warriors of Hui Te's troops had entered the range of the Jin army, but the artillery on the city did not respond, Ikemin could not help but feel uneasy.

The defenses of the cities of the Han people are generally relatively complete. Outside the city of Guazhou, there are criss-cross trenches and antlers all over the city. There must be equipment such as artillery carts and artillery in the city.

Chechen also felt that something was wrong, but it was not his Zhungeer warriors who attacked the city, so he didn't look into it carefully, but said casually: "Either the defenders were too frightened by our momentum to react in time, or they just wanted to wait for our army to attack the city." Get closer and prepare for precision kills."

While the two were talking, more than a dozen objects suddenly flew out from behind the city wall of Guazhou.

This was obviously thrown out by the cannon cart, but why is the projectile so small? Shouldn't the cannon cart be throwing a boulder weighing tens of kilograms?

Chechen frowned slightly when he saw the shells flying out. At this time, the shells had already flown over the heads of the troops in front, and hit the edge of the deep trench crowded by the warriors of Huite.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A few shells that flew in suddenly exploded directly in the sky, and the stones splashed down like a rain of stones. The Huite warrior below was startled, and suddenly his body was short, and he felt like a thunderbolt hit his head.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Before the warriors of Hui Te could react from the explosion in the sky, the remaining shells fell into the crowd, followed by a series of explosions.

The Huite warriors who were close to the explosion point felt a shocking force, and their bodies were thrown out and fell heavily on the ground.

More than a dozen Huite warriors around the bombing point were all knocked down, forming several empty circles. A centurion was thrown two feet away by the explosion. He vomited blood, and none of the Huite warriors around could stand up.

Seeing this, Chechen and Ikeminan, who were riding on horseback, fell silent for a moment, all of them were shocked by the divine thunder.

This is actually the ignited thunder that was thrown out with the help of a trebuchet, which had already appeared in the Song Dynasty.It's just that it is difficult to control the timing of the explosion, so it is rarely used. Jin Guo has made improvements to the lead wire, but still three bombs exploded before landing.

At the beginning of the offensive and defensive battle in Guazhou, there were beacon fires everywhere along the Great Wall, and pillars of smoke were lit from the beacon towers on the Great Wall and passed to Chang'an.

Batur's 8 people in Huntaiji and Sengge's 6 people began to attack the Great Wall, and there were thousands of miles of beacon smoke in the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.

In the backyard of a small restaurant in the east of Chang'an City, a secret agent of the Tiandihui took out a carrier pigeon, packed it with a secret letter, carried it to the courtyard, and suddenly threw the pigeon up. The carrier pigeon immediately flapped its wings and flew southward under the darkness of night. .
