Chapter 198 Luzhou is in danger

Bai Mengjin led people to rush to the border all night and day, and finally arrived at a place less than a hundred miles away from Luzhou City on the evening of August 21st.

"Young master, it has been seven days since a Jurchen army of [-] besieged Luzhou City, and they attacked the city dozens of times within seven days.

The defenders in Luzhou City are desperately defending the city, and have fought against the enemy several times. The city wall of Luzhou City has been severely damaged by something bombing, and the current situation is critical. "

Bai Mengjin has many capable people under his command, and some of them are spies who are good at inquiring about news. They are in the front to inquire about the news and report it to Bai Mengjin at any time.

Bai Mengjin was taken aback when she heard the words, her heart skipped a beat, "What? The city wall of Luzhou was blown up?"

Luzhou is a famous historical city, and it has always been a battleground for military strategists. The city wall is high and thick, what can blow up the city wall?
Ordinary trebuchets won't work, but what about gunpowder?Could it be that the Jurchens also have gunpowder?

how can that be possible?According to her understanding, besides her, no one has used gunpowder in war at present?What's going on?

"The city wall of Luzhou has been destroyed, can the defenders in the city hold on?" Bai Mengjin thought about the strength of the troops in hand.

There are 600 people around her, Feng San is nearby with 4000 people, and Liu Ershu and Jiang Sishu are not far away with 1 people.

Passing through two villages on this trip, another 5000 people were gathered, and more than 3 people went to rescue Luzhou, which seemed a little less.

"How far is Master Huiming from us? Go, inform Master Huiming, and bring people over as soon as possible. The rest of the people should rest and wait for orders."

They had traveled a long distance, and they were also exhausted, so they couldn't rush directly to the rescue at this time, they had to recharge their spirits.

Anyway, there are so many defenders in Luzhou City, so it's unlikely that they can't last a night, right?
The people below took the order and sent the order. Here, Bai Mengjin led the people to rest in the woods.

Now that the war is critical, the people around Luzhou either evacuated to the city or fled to the south, and there are almost no people in the vicinity.

At the moment, the Zhao officials and the Jurchen army are all focusing on Luzhou City, and no one has noticed the wilderness, so Bai Mengjin and the others can eat and rest with confidence.

Of course, Bai Mengjin wasn't idle here either. He found out the map, gathered and sorted out the information from the spies, and then found the best attack position, so that he could win with one hit.

This night was destined to be unsettled. The soldiers and civilians in Luzhou City swore to defend the city to the death. The Jurchen army outside Luzhou City rushed to attack the city, and Bai Mengjin's spies also went around looking for news this night.

At noon on August 22, Luzhou City had been violently attacked by the Jurchen army on the eighth day. With a loud bang, the city wall that had just been repaired was blown apart again, and many soldiers were injured.

"General, the Jurchen's attack is too fierce, and their gunpowder cans are so powerful, we may not be able to take it anymore." A general ran to the main general of the city, covering the wound on his shoulder, and shouted loudly.

"Damn it, it's all the fault of those in the Bai family, if they hadn't colluded with the enemy, how could such a magical weapon such as a gunpowder can have fallen into the hands of the Jurchens?
Now we are being blown up by Jurchen thieves with gunpowder cans, it is really hateful. "The Luzhou city guard's eyes were red, and he began to curse at the city.

"Didn't you send the letter back to Beijing? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? If this continues, Luzhou City will definitely be destroyed. What should we do?"

"General, if not, let's open the city and surrender. The imperial court doesn't care about our lives at all. What are we still trying to do here?" someone whispered beside him.

"In the current situation, we are not sure whether we can survive today. What's the use of holding on at this time?"

"Nonsense, Zhao Dalang, how can you say such things with the salary of the imperial court? If I, Da Zhao, were all greedy for life and afraid of death like you, where would there be peace for a hundred years?
Shameless villain, don't try to shake the morale of the army here. Even if the city of Luzhou is destroyed today, we should do our best to deal with the Jurchen thieves to the end. How can we say surrender so easily? "

Another general next to him was furious when he heard the words, and kicked Zhao Dalang who offered to surrender.

"Deputy General Qi, don't act wildly. In front of the enemy, we are all brothers in the same robe. How can we kill each other? What Zhao Dalang said is harsh, but it is also for the sake of all the soldiers and people in Luzhou City."

Seeing this situation, the general in Luzhou city hurriedly opened his mouth to admonish him.

Just now when Zhao Dalang said he would surrender, the general was actually shaken in his heart. It seemed that the battle would not go on. Even if he persisted, the whole army would be wiped out in the end, and the opponent might even slaughter the city.

"Let this general think again, think again."

When Deputy General Qi heard this, he immediately became angry, "General, you must not surrender, if you surrender now, Luzhou City will be destroyed, and the general will become a sinner of unfaithfulness and filial piety through the ages.

The last time the Bai family Wulang Liulang came to ask for help, the general turned him away and caused Bai Jiaerlang to die on the battlefield. It has already been a big mistake. If the general wants to surrender again this time, it will be inhumane and unrighteous.

General, do you want to be an unfaithful, filial, benevolent and unrighteous person? "Vice General Qi spoke fiercely, for fear that the Lord General really wanted to surrender.

"Qi Wulang, you are presumptuous, you can comment on how this general does things? Get lost.

You immediately take people to repair the city wall. If Luzhou City cannot be defended today, I will be the first to cut you down. "

The general of Luzhou was so annoyed by Vice General Qi's words, he angrily reprimanded him, and sent Qi Wulang to repair the city wall.

Vice General Qi didn't say a word, turned around and left, while Zhao Dalang approached the chief general with a flattering expression on his face.

And at this moment, a gunpowder can suddenly flew over from outside the city, but unfortunately, it happened to be heading towards the Luzhou general and Zhao Dalang.

Just when the gunpowder pot was about to fall to the city, it exploded directly, and the air wave of the explosion sent everyone around flying far away.

The chief general and Zhao Dalang happened to be at the center of the explosion, and they were instantly blown to pieces.

Another section of the city wall was blown up, and the main general was also killed. The soldiers guarding the city were all dumbfounded. Without the main general, no one gave orders, so what should they do?
"Brothers, since we have received the salary from the imperial court, we should take good care of Da Zhao and the people of Li.

What is behind us?Those are our relatives, wives and children. For them, we must not back down today.Hold on, the imperial court will definitely send reinforcements. "

Lieutenant General Qi, who had just walked out not far away, turned around when he heard the explosion, and saw the astonishing scene.

But right now, he was in no mood to be sad, and Vice General Qi hurried forward to shout loudly to boost morale.

Lieutenant General Qi was shouting when he suddenly heard a loud noise, which was earth-shattering and much more powerful than the powder canister before.Lieutenant Qi was so frightened that he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

However, this was not over yet, and then dozens of similar explosions were heard.The sound of the explosion was so shocking, but the walls of Luzhou City were not found to have been blown up, which is strange.

Before Lieutenant General Qi woke up, he heard someone shouting again, "Look, reinforcements have arrived, and there is a large group of people rushing over."
