Chapter 2315: The battle flags under the city are gathered again today, like a dream, attacking again
In the 69th chapter of "Water Margin", the story of "Dongping Mansion accidentally trapped Jiuwenlong, and Song Gongming released the two gun generals" happened here.
When Song Jiang fought this Dongping Prefecture in the book, he also took the trouble.
...When the Altan Army arrived here, he immediately found the red flags on the top of the city and the soldiers were lined up.
The opponent's army has entered Dongping Prefecture City.
It seems that they are going to defend this strong mansion.
Although Altan was confused at this time, he immediately set off and prepared to start siege.
To talk about the terrain here in Dongping Prefecture City, it is very unfavorable to the Mongolian army.
Because there are two lakes in the south and north of Dongping Prefecture.
The one to the north is called Dongping Lake, which is only a few miles away from Dongping Prefecture.
The one on the south side is the famous Liangshanpo, which is not too far away.
Just between these two lakes is Dongping Prefecture City. The terrain here makes it extremely difficult for the Mongolian army to flexibly advance and retreat here.
What's more, to the west of Dongping Prefecture, there is a wide Beiqing River flowing out from Liangshanpo.
And there is also a Wen River to the south.
Due to the warm climate here, there is no freezing on the lakes and rivers even in winter.
This made the Mongolian army unable to pass through the ice like on the Yellow River, which also seriously limited their mobility.
But now Altan has made up his mind, let alone the other party has entered the city now.
Even if the enemy ran all the way to the horizon, he would chase after him until the enemy was completely wiped out!... Just when Altan was ready to attack Dongping Prefecture, Monk Wanyan Chen in Nanjing was once again in a tough battle.
Under the pressure of the enemy and the attack of the catapult, Monk Wanyan Chen had no choice but to give up the defense on the city.
Then he used ten thousand enemies to set up a solid ambush at the gap in the city wall, and bombed the attacking Semuren Legion to death and injuries.
After that, the street fighting in the city, which was similar to before, broke out again.
However, this time, Monk Wanyan Chen's strength has been much weaker than before.
Because the defenders in the city were already suffering heavy casualties under Altan's attack, the number of regular troops was less than 20,000.
Under such circumstances, Monk Wanyan Chen had to arm the civilians.
Let them put on armor and hold swords and guns, and defend and fight in various buildings in the city.
However, these people knew nothing about long-range weapons such as steel-arm crossbows and bows and arrows, and lacked hand-to-hand combat experience when fighting with the enemy with swords and guns in hand, so the battle was extremely unsatisfactory at the beginning.
Fortunately, in the hands of Monk Wanyan Chen, there are enough enemies! Often, the Mongolian army piled up firewood and wanted to burn the newly built neighborhood gate.
Or when gathering together and throwing torches into the various yards.
They would immediately see a 10,000 enemy in the yard, slamming the people they bombed! Moreover, Monk Wanyan Chen also used the same trick to lay the catapult on the bell and drum tower and the commanding heights in the city, and kept bombarding the Mongolian army in the streets and alleys with 10,000 enemies.
At the same time, Monk Wanyan Chen collected all the steel arm crossbows in his hand and handed them over to his regular army.
Let them hold on to these weapons anyway.
These steel-arm crossbows played an important role in this city wall offensive and defensive battle, and could penetrate the Mongolian army's armor without any obstacles during street battles.
This also made the steel-arm crossbow a weapon among the soldiers of the Semuren Legion.
Whenever there were many steel arm crossbow strings in the streets and alleys, the Semi people would quickly curl themselves behind the heavy giant shield, which made their attack more and more difficult.
...But under the tenacious resistance of the Jin Dynasty defenders, although the Mongolian army was struggling, it still gradually eroded the streets and houses in Nanjing city, and pushed from north to south little by little.
At this time, Monk Wanyan Chen fought to the death, but also felt sad and sad as if he was scratching his heart and liver! "This is really true! If he had died in battle at that time, he would have to suffer these two more times!"
Now this sentence has become the catchphrase of Monk Wanyan Chen.
But just when Monk Wanyan Chen watched Nanjing City fall little by little, and in the end there was less than half of the defense zone left... he actually heard the sound of the life-saving horn last time! Then the Mongolian army began to retreat from the city, and Monk Wanyan Chen and the big Jin Sanying ran towards the north of the city again.
This process was like a dream. Monk Wanyan Chen simply wondered if he was asleep, and once again dreamed of the scene of surviving the last place.
But when he climbed to the top of the city, he realized that this time he was not dreaming! The red coat army with the red flag fluttering... they came again!... This time, Yang Miaozhen led the Shandong army to come from east to west again. Unlike the last time, they did not pull out the hunting formation like a big comb, but gathered tightly into a group.
A total of 30,000 Shandong troops followed the city walls of Nanjing City from east to west, and went forward little by little.
Countless steel-arm crossbow arrows were like locusts in the sky, shooting fiercely towards the Mongolian army under Nanjing City! Seeing the enemy coming from the east, once they approached the Sour Zaomen Gate, they would block all the Mongolian troops in the city! So the Mongolian general Zhalaer ordered without hesitation that the entire Mongolian army in Nanjing City retreat! When Monk Wanyan Chen saw this scene, he felt that he was crying but not crying, and he was really amused and crying! "It's so painful to die, why is it so difficult?"
At this time, Wanyan Chenglin, who was standing next to him, still said what he said in his heart.
At this moment, Olei Jida slapped the wall with excitement and sighed: "Heaven does not destroy my great gold! Heaven...I will not destroy me!"
...Not mentioning this big Jin Sanying, she was thrilling with great emotion at the top of Nanjing.
So where did the 30,000 Shandong army under the city come from?
It turned out that just when Yang Miaozhen found that the Meng army was coming back again and was chasing her.
Miss Yang ordered the entire army to retreat without hesitation and entered Dongping Prefecture City between the two lakes.
After that, she only left 10,000 defenders and Wang Yunfeng, who had rich combat experience in Dongping Prefecture, and allowed him to continue to entangle with the Mongolian army in Altan there.
However, Yang Miaozhen himself led 30,000 Shandong troops out of the city from the east gate of Dongping Prefecture, and made a big circle to cross the Wenshui River.
She bypassed Liangshanpo, went to Caozhou, and rushed straight to the city of Nanjing again! This girl Yang Miaozhen, who turned into a cocoon and turned into a butterfly, made a maneuver that was unpredictable to ghosts and gods.
Chapter completed!
