Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

There are golden troops hidden in the goose carts under each ladder.

The Song army began to fight back, and the archers began to shoot arrows while taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's catapults.

Immediately, the rocket pressed down like a red rainstorm, hit the goose cart, and was nailed between the ladders.

The Jin army behind was not affected by the Song army's bows and arrows, and continued to push the ladder rhythmically.

After the Song army launched the rocket, the trebuchets on the city tower also began to counterattack, throwing thunder after thunder.

After falling, it explodes on the ground.

Some thunderbolts will burst out with barbs, while others can only be used to scare people.

But the effect is very obvious. Although the violent explosion sound is not powerful, it is enough to make people's hearts tremble.

The speed of Jin Jun's ladder immediately slowed down significantly.

Two ladders that were nailed by rockets began to burn in a small area.

But it seemed that the sky was dying in the Song Dynasty, and the wind and snow immediately extinguished the flames.

Soon, the next wave of catapult strikes by the Jin army followed.

Song Jun who was injured by the smash will be dragged down by the people behind him, and immediately switch defenses.

The speed of the trebuchet below slowed down, but it was still advancing.

The two sides thus entered the initial stage of the siege battle.

When the trebuchet was about to reach the city, the Song army began to throw thunder to the city.

Some soldiers of the Golden Army were wounded and fell to the ground crying, while the rest of the soldiers of the Golden Army pushed the goose cart vigorously.

When the goose cart entered the city, the golden army's charging horn suddenly sounded.

The main force of the Golden Army, which had not moved, moved.

They rushed towards the city tower quickly. At a glance, there were tens of thousands of people, as if densely packed locusts were passing through, and quickly crowded outside the gate of the southern city of Tokyo.

The war immediately entered a completely different rhythm.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" the soldiers of the Golden Army roared.

The army leading the battle is Wanyan Wushu's army, this man is a mighty general in the Jin army, his status is second only to Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang.

He created the Tiefutu, the armored cavalry (heavy armored cavalry) of the Jin Army.

The army under his command is brave and good at fighting, and he is invincible in every attack.

"Hurry up!" Jin Jun in the goose cart shouted.

Someone immediately began to pull the rope violently, and the ladder on the goose cart quickly rose from the lying state and pressed towards the city wall.

When the ladder was put on the city wall, the soldiers of the Jin Army immediately got out of the goose cart as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Facing the overwhelming Jin army, the Song army's archers and crossbowmen no longer needed to aim.

They can shoot the golden army with their eyes closed.

"Fire arrows!"

The archer immediately drew the bow and started to release the arrows. The dense arrows soared into the sky, and instantly turned into a black cloud in the air, pressing down.

ding ding ding...

The arrows hit the golden army's iron armor intensively, even if they couldn't penetrate the golden army's armor.

But quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

A large number of arrow clusters formed a powerful force and impacted on Jin Jun. Some of them were shaken by the impact and fell to the ground, tripping the soldiers behind them.

Suddenly there was a little confusion.

Next is the crossbow, which is more powerful.

Countless metal arrows hit the iron armor like a violent storm, and the sound of metal colliding broke out, clanging like thunder.

It was as if steel was about to be shattered.

Countless traces appeared on the armor of the Golden Army.

Some of the unlucky Jin Jun were shot in the eyes without protection, and waves of blood flew out immediately.

The clusters of sharp crossbow arrows directly penetrated into the brain, killing him on the spot.

Soon, the chaos in front of the tower expanded, and patches of red blood appeared in the snow.

The Jin army behind seemed not to be affected in any way, and continued to rush forward frantically.

Jin Jun in the goose cart also quickly climbed up the ladder.

"Sky Thunder! Quick!"

Pieces of shocking thunder fell down, exploded, and made a deafening sound, blowing the Jin army under the city down into the snow.

At this time, the Jin army's trebuchet attack came again.

This time, Jin Jun used an "iron cannon" that would explode.

It fell on the top of the city, and the explosion injured a piece of Song army.

The golden army below climbed up skillfully.

Song Jun's knife and axe, and the Forbidden Army holding Iron Guduo have already been prepared.

Chapter 45 Iron Blood Bianjing

The "iron cannons" of the Jin army continued one after another, passing through the air like meteorites, and smashing densely on the top of the city.

bang bang bang...

Countless explosions spread across the city wall.

Thin pieces of iron shattered against the stones of the battlements, cutting countless fine marks.

The shield in Song Jun's hands was covered with thin pieces of iron.

Some fragments of iron directly pierced the shield and hit the iron armor.

Fortunately, there is the protection of the iron armor, otherwise this piece of iron could easily cut through the flesh and enter the body.

Fortunately, during the Song Dynasty, the power of gunpowder was not that great.

If this is replaced by the 19th-century flower bomb, basically a piece of the city can be poured.

Moreover, the production capacity of gunpowder in the Song Dynasty was not perfect, and the amount of gunpowder produced by the Jin people was also limited.

At this time, along the ladder, the first soldier of the Jin army who climbed up suddenly chopped down the Song army on the battlements with an axe.

Fortunately, the Song army reacted quickly and immediately blocked it with a shield.

The sound of bang was drowned out in the hustle and bustle of the siege battle. The soldier of the Song Army only felt his arm tremble, and the comrades beside him quickly pulled out their iron bones.

The head of Jin Jun, who didn't even have time to take back the ax, was hit by Iron Guduo, and a piece of the iron helmet was dented.

Don't look at it as a small piece, but the skull underneath is basically broken.

Unwillingly, he fell down and fell to his death on Jin Jun who was under the city. He was thrown and pushed aside, and stepped on his feet.

No one cared about him, the Jin army below crowded together densely and crazily climbed up the goose cart.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see the southern city wall of Tokyo City, which is almost covered with golden troops.

A dense mass of ants, like dense ants.

You know, there are 300 aerial ladders, and even if each aerial ladder is only 20 meters apart, it is a 12-mile road.

And the width of Tokyo City is exactly this width.

So many people crowded under the city and climbed up the city like hungry wolves.

At this moment, they don't care about the art of war, nor the formation.

It is to use the most brutal and simplest method to attack the city and take it down.

This is also Wanyan Zonghan's request.

After all, war is both politics and business.

The Jin army invested a lot of manpower and material resources to go south, all of which cost money.

The money spent must be recovered from the war.

There are two ways to get it back:

[-]. The other party loses money directly.

For example, in the first Battle of Tokyo at the beginning of the year, Wanyan Zongwang extorted 500 million taels of gold and 5000 million taels of platinum from Song Qinzong.

In order to let the Jin army retreat, Song Qinzong and his ministers plundered in Tokyo City, and finally raised all the funds to Wanyan Zongwang.

This time, Wanyan Zonghan had a bigger taste and proposed to ask for 1000 million taels of gold and 5000 million taels of silver.

This amount of silver almost exceeds the total amount of silver in this era.

After all, the main currencies of the Song Dynasty were copper coins and iron coins, not silver.

[-]. Capture the city of Tokyo, collect and scrape the city by yourself, occupy these lands, and collect taxes in the future.

It's a matter of inputs and outputs.

If you only have to invest, you can't attack Tokyo, and you can't get money, then this battle will be a loss.

After investing so much money and fighting a loss-making battle, Wanyan Zonghan, one of the leaders of the main combat faction, will find it difficult to beg for money from Wanyan Wu when he returns.

At least it will affect his political prestige in the court.

This also further drove Wanyan Zonghan to capture this city no matter what method he used.

And Zhao Ning also deeply understands the criticality of this war.

Therefore, no matter what method he uses, he must defend the city.

The situation at the top of the city was changing, the iron cannons of the Jin Army's catapult poured in, and the thunder of the Song Army's catapult roared away.

Countless Song soldiers were hit and injured by the explosion, screaming from the top of the city.

The people behind kept dragging the wounded down, and then new people came up.

Similarly, countless Jinjun soldiers were wounded by countless thunderbolts.

Pain and madness intertwined, and blood burned in flames.

As soon as the soldiers of the Jin army climbed up, they were beaten down by the swordsmen and iron bones of the Song army.

Every time a person fell, several people below were hit and fell to the ground.

More and more people fell down, and more and more people climbed the ladder.

A new round of Jin army rushed to the top of the city, and the Song army slashed with an axe.

Suddenly, a piece of iron artillery came and hit the Song Jun head-on, knocking him to the ground, and an explosion occurred, affecting several Song Jun around.

Jin Jun took the opportunity to jump up quickly, and even went up the tower.

This Jin Jun's movement was fast and ruthless, and the mace in his hand slammed down hard, hitting a Song Jun's helmet.

With a bang, half of the helmet was smashed and collapsed.

And the spikes on the mace also pierced down.

Although it didn't blast through the iron plate of the helmet, it crushed a small half of the head.

That Song Jun was killed on the spot.

Before he had time to think about it, a Song Jun next to him drew an axe.

No time to aim, no time to think, the ax fell on the shoulder of this golden army.

There was a clang, but it didn't cut in, leaving a deep mark on the iron armor.

But due to the huge force, the golden soldier was shocked back two steps.

In the process, other Song troops have followed suit.

Tie Guduo hit Jin Jun's body, making a bang bang sound.

The golden army was besieged and fell to the ground.
