The weapon used by Chen Xun was a big knife about five feet long.

The knife is long and sharp, and is made of Hebei's top-quality iron, forged by famous masters. The blade is thick and slightly bent, which is conducive to chopping. If you hold it on a horse, it is easy to use the impact of the horse galloping to wipe your neck and chop your head.

Even if there are no horses, they are held in their hands during infantry battles, and with Chen Xun's huge arm strength, they dance like a windmill, they still have strong lethality.

A Mongolian soldier climbed up from the top of the city along a simple long ladder. As soon as he exposed his head, Chen Xun's long sword fell from the sky, accompanied by a thunderous roar of "death" and the blade slashed off the Mongolian soldier's sky spirit cover, slashing the head wearing an iron helmet into two halves.

Blood splattered, red and white stormed.

The corpse of the Mongolian soldier fell straight down and hit the two people behind him. The two unlucky guys screamed and fell down from the city wall, not knowing life and death.

Chen Xun was a little panting and took a deep breath with his long knife. He couldn't remember which one he killed.

"This is the second day after the Mongols attacked the city. It would be too embarrassing to break the city." He thought secretly.

He paused the long sword on the ground for a moment. Chen Xun stood up and tried hard to cut the long sword horizontally, smearing the neck of the Mongolian soldier who had climbed up from another long ladder. The man covered the wound like a fountain, screaming "hehe" in his mouth, tilting half of his flesh and head connected to his spine, and fell to the sky.

"Brothers, it's time to fight to the death!" Chen Xun shouted in a hoarse voice. He kept yelling from Ximensha in Shangjin City to the East Gate: "There is still hope of survival when fighting to the death. There is only one way to die if you are afraid of death! The city is in your life, and the city is broken, and you will die! Kill them all!"

"kill!"

The city guards with red eyes agreed loudly, slapped with a long-handled axe, two pieces of wolf teeth, huge forks, dense bows and arrows and deadly rolling wooden stones, desperately greeted the siegemen who were attached to the long ladder. Arrows flying above and below the city were like locusts, accompanied by screams and blood flowers, and the sound of fighting sounded on every section of the city wall in Shangjin City.

The tide-like crowds under the city were charging, and seven or eight floating bridges formed by boats and wide wooden boards were built on the wide Jinqian River. The black crowds ran across the river from the pontoon bridge, filled the trenches under the city wall with cloth bags filled with soil, and set up long ladders, like a wave of high reefs, attacking the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall were resisting, and Shangjin City was not big, with a circumference of four or five miles. The Mongolian army was attacking without any difference, and they were besieged on all sides, and the attack was the most fierce in the direction of the north gate.

Kublai Khan and several tens of thousands of households were on the earth slope five miles away from the north gate. Here was the limit of the shooting range of the crossbow on the city. Here they watched the progress of the siege from afar.

Kublai Khan seemed a little dissatisfied, and there was a trace of black air floating on his broad face.

Wanhu Shi Tianze was a little flushed and kept sending orders to his personal soldiers around him. As time went by, his orders became more and more frequent.

The other tens of thousands of households looked at the fun with their expressions, calmly, and whispered a few words from time to time, glanced at Shi Tianze a few times, with smiles in their eyes.

"There are four thousand guards in the city, right? Two thousand Song soldiers and two thousand Fan Yongji's soldiers, right?" Looking at the sun's height, it was almost time for lunch, Kublai Khan finally spoke. He was silent all morning, like a wooden carving.

Shi Tianze wiped the sweat from his head and looked around. He realized that everyone else was unintentionally answering. The question was obviously asking himself, so he had to answer nervously: "Yes, I heard that there were thousands of young and strong people in the city."

"That's even ten thousand people." While speaking, a javelin-like crossbow arrow shot from the Shangjin North Gate Tower was inserted under the earth slope with a squeak. The long arrow rod hit the front of a shield chariot, penetrated the wooden shield, and the arrow rod inserted into the shield surface and trembled slowly. Kublai took a look and said calmly.

"Ten thousand people, Lord Shi, your 50,000 troops have been attacked for a day and a half, and even the city wall has not yet risen."

The people on the slopes are all nobles, and at least one thousand households are qualified to stand up. Kublai Khan said this in front of them, which made Shi Tianze feel so excited to find a crack in the ground.

"Please wait for your highness, I will take someone up in person!" Shi Tianze gritted his teeth and bowed: "I can't take Shangjin before sunset, so I'll come to see you!"

"Mr. Shi, you misunderstood. I'm not blaming you." Kublai Khan waved his hand and raised Shi Tianze who had bowed down with the horse whip in his hand. He said with a gentle voice: "The Song people are good at defending the city. We all know that the Great Mongolians and the Song people have been fighting each other over the years, and they know this very well, and they are not blamed for you."

Shi Tianze secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that the Mongols' most important courage in wars. If Kublai Khan blamed him for not being attentive enough and was reluctant to invest in his troops, it would be troublesome.

However, Shangjin City is indeed tenacious. Kublai Khan said that a few ten thousand households who fought with him took turns to fight. Whoever made the most contributions would be the most awarded in the future Han territory would be the greatest. Shi Tianze finally got the lead and wanted to make a contribution, but he did not expect that Shangjin City would be so difficult to deal with. The Song soldiers inside did not surrender. The guards of the city were brave and courageous, which made him devote all his strength but could not start the situation for a long time. It was so embarrassing.

If Kublai Khan really blamed him, he would have to personally lead someone to climb a ladder to prove his innocence.

"The Song people are good at defending the city, just like our Great Mongolian Kingdom is good at field raids. It is a skill obtained from long-term research. If you can't defeat it in a short period of time, it is not because you are incompetent, but because the Song people are good at this, but we are not very good at attacking the city." Kublai Khan said in a deep voice: "Master Yao once said that the Song people have a saying that there is something short of a ruler and an inch of a person, but it is just that everyone has their own abilities."

He turned his head to look at the generals and smiled: "I have expected this since I came over to Lin. I watched the battle for two days and saw that Lord Shi could catch up with him for another three days, but that would have been too long."

Shi Tianze hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it takes less than three days, and you will definitely be able to conquer tomorrow."

"The arrows on the city are fierce, and the defenders are not easily defeated. Even if you capture them, they will lose their lives in vain and cannot be worth it." Kublai Khan shook his head.

Shi Tianze expressed his loyalty: "For the sake of the Great Mongolian Kingdom and for His Highness, our soldiers have already put life and death aside."

Kublai Khan looked at him, laughing and continued to shake his head: "Mr. Shi, you are wrong to say that. Your soldiers are not your property, but the property of the Great Mongolian Kingdom. Their lives should be used in a suitable place and thrown under the city walls, which is not worth it."

As soon as these words were said, not only Shi Tianze, but also everyone on the slope was stunned.

Not worth it? What does it mean? Don't siege the city?

Seeing that they were stunned, Kublai Khan became proud and smiled stronger. He raised his hand and made a gesture to the Mongolian soldiers beside him.

The Mongolian soldiers took the order and raised the horns at their waists and whimpered, and the sound of the horns that rolled across the grasslands as low as spring thunder, spreading into the distance.

Behind the earth slope was the rear army formation. As the trumpet sounded, several huge wooden tower-shaped objects, towering like clouds, slowly revealed from the rear formation. In line with it, many wooden vehicles were pushed.

"This is... a siege ladder?!"

"Lu Gongche, it turns out to be Lu Gongche. Can you still find craftsmen who can make Lu Gongche?"

"That was a car crash!"

A burst of amazement came out of the mouths of the crowd. These things were all powerful weapons to destroy the city, many of which were improved by the Tang Dynasty and actually appeared in the hands of the Mongolians.

"War is a combination of courage and wisdom. Wouldn't it be a reckless man by relying solely on brute force?" Kublai Khan smiled coldly and pointed at Shi Tianze: "Give all these to your soldiers. Within two hours, I will see the heads of the guards in the city, as for the others in the city..."

He turned his eyes to the head of Shangjin City where black smoke was rolling, and a cruel light shone out from the slender gaps of his eyes.

"All slaughtered, no one needs to be left."
