Chapter 2265: Let Jiangshan be the chessboard, and the ingenious plots have come one after another.
At least in order to attack the city, the ladders built by the Mongolian army were twice as heavy as the ladders they used before.
It’s nothing to carry such a heavy ladder, but it’s extremely difficult to erect it under the city...but these Mongolian troops attacking their movements were extremely rapid and efficient.
The Khitan soldiers were carrying the ladder while the other empty hand raised the Mongolian round shield to resist the rain of arrows shot from the city.
Then they raised the ladder a little and leaned on the city wall.
Then the soldiers shouted horns and shook the ladders hard.
Behind them, they supported them with all their strength, making the fulcrum of these ladders jump upwards on the city wall, and they were getting higher and higher! Good guy! These Khitan soldiers are really experienced.
Before this, they must have attacked such a high city wall in Nanjing! Seeing this scene, Monk Wanyan Chen looked at the two companions beside him with a serious expression.
After that, the large wooden stones on the top of the city also threw them down like raindrops.
...At this time, I looked down from the sky, and there were noises everywhere around the city wall.
The soldiers on the city were under the escort of the shield, desperately throwing huge rocks and rolling wood downwards.
The Khitan soldiers under the city were also under the walls and were no longer threatened by feather arrows.
He simply gave up his shield and shouted and rushed up hard.
When Monk Wanyan Chen's eyes extended more than ten feet to the distance of the city wall, he saw more Khitan soldiers rushing towards the city wall with ladders behind him.
Seeing that this team had almost 5,000 people! At the same time, a large number of Mongolian cavalry were also charging forward.
After they arrived at the land of one arrow, they immediately fired their bows at the defenders on the top of the city.
At this time, the Jin army archers on the city were also desperately shooting arrows at the Mongolian cavalry under the city.
For a moment, two large armies, several armies launched a fierce battle around the Nanjing city wall.
The battle was unambiguous, and it was extremely bloody at the beginning! Due to the accuracy of the archers of Mongolian army, the number of casualties in the city began to rise in a straight line! Monk Chen saw the Jin army archers standing between the two walls and above the wooden boards, making a series of heavy sounds of falling to the ground.
Just like straw, they were shot down by the rain of arrows from the Mongolian army... Monk Chen's heart was also constantly sinking! These Mongolians have experienced many battles and have extremely strong shooting skills.
Under their long shots, the defenders on the city were already showing signs of being suppressed.
If this continues, there will be no one on the city wall in a short time! At this time, Monk Wanyan Chen frowned suddenly and shouted loudly to the archer Qianmao who was standing by under the city wall: "Take a team of people and go into the middle of the two walls!"
"Everyone smashed a few bricks with a hammer and shot arrows outside... Go quickly!"
When the commander of the thousand-man took the order and led his troops into the middle of the two brick walls on the city.
Wanyan Chenglin and Olei and Da couldn't help but exchange a look of surprise.
This monk Wanyan Chen is really worthy of being a famous general of the Jin Dynasty. He reacts so quickly!... It is obvious that the bows and arrows on the city are at an absolute disadvantage now.
However, the actions of Monk Wanyan Chen just now can greatly reduce the casualties of their archers.
Because now, the soldiers guarding the city are under the wooden boards.
There is no one in the middle of the two walls.
As long as the archer digs outward brick walls there, digs a hole and then shoots arrows downwards.
If the Mongols wanted to kill these archers, they had to accurately shoot the feather arrows from the hole.
This actually makes it more difficult for Mongolian archers to shoot and kill the Jin army.
The Jin army archers behind the hole in the wall can regain the advantage of long-range shooting again! This monk Wanyan Chen had a brilliant idea in a blink of an eye. He is truly a genius!... Then, after thousands of archers arrived between the two walls, each of whom smashed a few bricks and shot arrows down the city.
The archers on the city were also immediately withdrawn by Monk Wanyan Chen.
In just half an hour, nearly a thousand Jin army archers were shot and killed by the Mongols! At the same time, the Khitan soldiers who kept climbing up the ladder under the city were also seriously injured by the large number of rolling wood and rocks thrown down on the city, but these Khitan soldiers were still climbing up tenaciously.
Some soldiers even climbed halfway and came to the near hole where the archers fired arrows.
Then he pulled out the scimitar.
Punching into the shooting hole!...... In the city, countless people were shouting desperately, and their ears were filled with noisy and boiling sounds.
As the blood splashed, soldiers from both sides of the enemy and us died every minute and every second.
The offensive and defensive momentum on this city wall became more and more cruel and thrilling! ... Soon, the offensive of the Khitan soldiers became stronger and stronger.
A critical momentum began to appear on the top of Nanjing city, and there were even Khitan soldiers jumping up to the top of the city at several locations.
At this time, Monk Wanyan Chen looked up at the sky and sighed helplessly! The sun had not yet reached the middle of the sky, and it was less than three hours since the start of the Mongolian army's attack.
His Nanjing City was already so critical that it was so desperate! At this time, Wanyan Chenglin and Olei and Da were also watching the scene anxiously.
The current commander-in-chief of the city is Wanyan Chen. Although they can't speak during the battle, their anxiety and worries are inevitable.
At this moment, the situation on the city was getting more and more tense! There were already a large number of Khitan soldiers spreading up from the city bottom. Seeing that the enemy's breakthrough points on the city wall had already gained a foothold and were fighting against the soldiers guarding the city... If this continues, it will take less than half an incense stick of time to fall into the hands of the enemy! At this moment, Monk Wanyan Chen waved to a guard beside him.
Then the guard picked up a gong as big as a pot lid and stood on the top of the city, "Bang!"
With a sound, a deafening sound was made.
This gong beat everyone's hearts shocked! Then, Wanyan Chenglin and Olei and Da looked down at the city in surprise.
...At this moment, a low ridge facing the city wall was a hundred meters away from the city, suddenly appeared on a low ridge facing the city wall! At this moment, in Cheng Wuhen's heart.
Suddenly I remembered a word the teacher told him in the training class.
Chapter completed!
