    Dozens of crude long ladders were leaning against the crenellations of the A-shaped fort, with more than a dozen civilians pressing down on each foot of the ladder to prevent the defenders from pushing the crude ladder down.  Those who are relatively brave among the common people - or in other words, have been tortured for days and are numb from the excitement of today's Jurchen Tatar drive - there are always a hundred or ten people who come up the ladder.  Either with bare hands or with a sharpened stick, without any protection, he desperately climbed toward the fort.  At this moment, no arrows were fired from the A-shaped fort, and not even a human figure could be seen. Only the billowing mist could be seen on the wall.  At this moment, among the thousands of people gathered under the wall, no one wanted to think about what the defenders at the A-shaped fort were preparing to deal with them.  The A-shaped fort is not very big, with a circumference of only more than 150 steps.  A garrison of fifty people is a perfect fit for such a large fortress.  Dozens of simple long ladders stand on top, which can be called a dense crowd.  The long ladders were also crowded with people climbing up.  Under the fort wall, there were more people looking up with red eyes.  Such a scene and such a crowd would almost overwhelm this small fortress!  Even the guy named Hong Da who had been giving orders was silent at this moment. In such a situation, even if he knew that the defenders of the A-zi Fort only had the defensive means of firing arrows and releasing weapons, they couldn't help but  You would think that if thousands of people risked their lives and dozens of garrison troops could pile up this small fort with their lives alone, wouldn¡¯t they be able to take down this small fort?  At this moment, even Guo Rong and others at Yingzhou City Fortress, who had been paying attention to the battle at Jiazi Fort, couldn't help but have the same idea for a while.  Looking from the Yingzhou Fortress, one can see not only the thousands of ragged and almost unarmed people who are like dense ants on the top and bottom of the A-shaped fort.  Behind them, there were Jurchen light cavalry grabbing the two wings, stretching their bows and shooting upwards. A wave of heavy arrows, which the Jurchens used to use with large arrows, passed over the crowd and rushed straight into the A-shaped fort.  Among the light cavalry on both wings, Jurchen infantry warriors rolled up in formation, and were about to follow the thousands of people and attack directly on Jiazi Fort.  There are only two hundred Jurchen warriors in this formation, but their momentum is far greater than the densely packed thousands of civilians!  Each person wears double armor, like moving steel fortresses, and the sound of metal collisions is heard as they move.  The armored man on the outside uses a large shield for cover.  The soldiers in the middle all have long knives, hammers and other weapons that are convenient for hand-to-hand combat.  After every few dozen steps, Pu Liyan would shout loudly to keep the formation in order.  Behind them, there were hundreds of Cangtou who were suppressing them, catching up from behind and overtaking them, rushing in front of them to clear the messy battlefield in front of them into a path for the heavy armored infantry soldiers to pass. ?? These pale heads are either wearing leather robes, or hanging chest straps outside the leather robes.  Wearing a small pointed hat is not worthy of a long sword.  On each person's waist is a Jie Shou Dao.  In addition, some people also used bows to throw bags in addition to the first sword, and occasionally fired arrows aimlessly at the A-shaped fort.  However, most of the Jurchen auxiliary troops participating in the war were still working hard to clear the roads, pushing away the broken rows of cars, pushing the piles of corpses down the trenches, and filling the passing roads more densely.  Some people even crossed the ditch and continued to pull out the remaining deer villages.  They all carried big ropes with them. After tying them, a few people worked together to pull out the Luzhai stuck in the frozen soil in three strokes. It was much faster than those of the common people just now.  The side-firing arrows and crossbows on the B-shaped fort kept flying, and these blue-headed bullets suppressed the auxiliary troops, and some people kept falling.  But these auxiliary troops knew better than the common people that the Jurchen military methods were fierce. The flags did not waver, the retreat horn did not sound, and no one looked back. They just immersed themselves in working hard.  If they are dead or injured, drag them away and throw them aside.  On the battlefield, the people shouted at the top of their lungs, and the leaders of the auxiliary army gave orders.  There are also the uniform shouts of the Jurchen heavy-armored warriors when they pause for a moment to reorganize after dozens of steps in the row, reverberating into a ball and filling the front of the A-shaped fort, as if the sound alone can destroy the A-shaped fort.  It's like treading flat!  At this moment, Jiazi Fort is still quiet.  Some of the Jurchen knights galloping through the formation cheered, as if this small fort, like countless famous cities in the Liao Dynasty, was about to succumb to the might of the Jurchen army!  Yin Shuke and Wanyan Xiyin's central army coming from behind also accelerated their advance. For a city with a complete defense system, at this critical moment, the defenders in the city must select elite forwards to attack.  , to support the outer garrison.  Strive to maintain the integrity of the defense system.  (A real city defense battle must involve repeated battles in the peripheral defense system, even if the mobile forces in the city are gradually exhausted. Fighting against the city wall for the siege party or repeated battles on the periphery are two completely different things.  During the Song Dynasty, the defenders of Xiangfan fought in dangerous areas for several years. Even though the city behind was surrounded by a moat that was several hundred meters wide and was almost the strongest in the world, the defenders did not easily retreat to defend the city. During the Jingkang period, the defenders did not retreat.  The Bianliang defenders had no ability to resist and allowed the Jurchen army to force the city into the stronghold. At the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Guan Ning cavalry almost only relied on cannons to fortify the city. It can only be said that the army's field combat ability and fighting will have degraded to a certain extent.  ???, an army with a little combat effectiveness would never do this in a defensive battle - Oscar press) Yin Shuke and the Chinese army composed of hundreds of heavy cavalry controlled by Wanyan Xiyin and more light cavalry, when the time comes  We must attack head-on and push back the counterattacking defenders!  Under two black flags, Wanyan Xiyin raised his whip and pointed at the A-shaped fort that was almost submerged by the crowd and said with a smile: "It turns out that the Yingzhou city fortress is nothing more than this. It's just a piece of soil before you step on it. It fell down. You spent so much money."  All the efforts to lure these barbarians out and deal with them are in vain! You have too much regard for these barbarians!" Yin Shu, however, remained calm, staring at the battlefield, and replied calmly: "Not yet!  After the fight, why are you so anxious?" Wanyan Xiyin smiled and didn't care about Yin Shuke's attitude. He glanced at the direction of Yingzhou City Fortress and asked in surprise: "Are these barbarians really not good at fighting? Why don't they come out now?  That¡¯s too late!¡±????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ At this moment, everyone inside and outside Yingzhou City, whether it was on the city fort or in several forts outside, stared at the situation in front of the A-shaped fort with wide eyes.  Needless to say about the B-shaped fort, the defenders were already desperately trying to support the A-shaped fort.  Arrows and crossbows seemed to be shooting at the locusts sideways.  However, thousands of civilians were already red-eyed seeing that the fortress was about to be destroyed. Even if hundreds of people died, they would not think it was anything special.  The Jurchen army and horses following behind were at their most powerful at this moment. The Jurchens occupied the entire northern China, and their ferocity was greatly reduced. They could still charge and kill dozens of times before the battle. Under the influence of the Wu family army, which was composed of the ashes of the Western army.  There are many corpses in front of the powerful stacked arrow array, but they are still attacking repeatedly.  At this moment, the rain of arrows fired from the side of the Y-shaped fort is nothing in front of them wearing heavy armor.  The reason why several small forts can be well defended is that they can support each other.  But at this moment, no arrows were fired from the A-shaped fort, and no one was seen behind the crenels. What could a single B-shaped fort do?  The guard of the Y-shaped fort looked at the rain of arrows shot from here like water droplets falling into the sea, and knocked on the crenels fiercely: "This man surnamed Meng just wants to dedicate the fort. There are so many guards like Zhi Niang and thieves."  Why don't you use the city's ordnance? Don't let me meet this guy in the battle, it's either him or me!" At the Yingzhou City Fortress, Guo Rong also clenched his fists and couldn't help but turn around and ask behind him.  Lieutenant Commander Ni Jie asked: "Is the leader about to attack?" Ni Jie answered loudly every time: "Meng Nuan has ulterior motives! Why don't we use the garrison at the top of the city? How can these common people who are marching into the battle directly attack the armor?  "In front of the Zi Fortress?" When the Jurchen infantry warriors were about to cross the ditch, Guo Rong asked again: "If the enemy doesn't attack, the Jurchen Tatars will open the Zi Fortress!" Ni Jie also said with red eyes: "We can't let it happen."  We brothers were lured out for Meng Nuan! All the elites like us were killed, and we were still guarding the city!" Ni Jie, who has always been cautious in front of Guo Rong, didn't care at this time!  He lost his words and almost yelled in front of Guo Rong with a straight voice.  Guo Rong was startled for a moment and stamped her foot fiercely: "Is it possible that the Jiazi Fort was lost in one day?" Ni Jie said loudly: "Isn't it because Meng Nuan, a thief, joined the army? Now that I have gone to the Jiazi Fort, I have lost this content.  Thief, you are clean! We just have to defend Yingzhou City!" No one around Guo Rong said anything.  Everyone knows in their hearts that the A-shaped fort can be taken down in one day. Is this an understatement?  The military morale in the city is not very stable to begin with. Regardless of whether Meng Nuan took the initiative to open the city or not, if the situation is like this, the military morale will probably be shaken even more, and it will be even more difficult to defend the city in the future.  God knows if we can hold on until the defenders from the south come to respond!  Who makes Meng Nuan so deep and terrifying? Everyone is suspicious of him, but they still can't touch him.  He must be sent safely to the place closest to the Jurchen Tatars so that he can surrender in a fortress!  How could we meet such a person in such a despicable place?  If I had known I should have ignored him at that time, I would have cut him clean with one knife!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~ Just when this Jurchen army was in high spirits, everyone inside and outside Yingzhou City Fortress was burned.  At the top of the A-shaped fort, a heavy drumbeat suddenly sounded. The drumbeat was not too loud.  But Guo Rong at the top of Yingzhou City, Yin Shuke and Wanyan Xiyin under the banner of Chu outside the city all heard it clearly and were shocked in their hearts!  In the blink of an eye, dozens of figures appeared on the A-shaped fort, and hundreds of gray bottles were knocked down first.  The gray bottles shattered among the crowd, and white smoke filled the air, covering people's bodies and heads.  Before they could react, the defenders used pulleys to pull up the top cauldron, pouring the boiling golden juice into the pot.Tilt down.  The hot and boiling golden juice with an unpleasant smell was poured on the body, which immediately aroused a burst of inhuman screams!  Even if you are wearing armor, you can't stop the gold juice that penetrates every crack. If it touches it, even the leather and flesh will be burned off!  So many gray bottles were thrown down from the front, the quicklime boiled when it met water, and large clouds of white smoke suddenly rose from under the fort wall, as if a pot was boiling.  I don't know how many people were dying, dancing and screaming as they were burned by the boiling quicklime.  Some of them had a lot of quicklime on them, and as soon as the golden juice was poured on them, they were roasted alive in an instant!  It turned out that dozens of long ladders were densely covered with ants attacking the city and the people were falling down continuously.  The crowd at the Hedgehog Market under the city suddenly became chaotic, with people scurrying around like headless flies.  I don't know where to run.  Even if there are still people who want to shout and command to stabilize people's hearts, but the screams can be heard all over the place, how can anyone hear them?  The defenders on the city did not stop, and then threw out the dark earthen jars filled with kerosene.  These are all artifacts from the Song Dynasty army, which were allocated from Shenwu's ever-victorious army.  Thick kerosene flowed everywhere as the earthen jars shattered. A dozen rockets fell, and a sea of ????fire suddenly rose under the fort wall.  I don¡¯t know how many people were set on fire at this moment, screaming and running around.  If it hits other people, it will set them on fire.  Some people wanted to roll on the ground to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the fire was so powerful that it could not be easily extinguished.  After rolling a few times, he twitched and gradually became motionless, curling up into a ball due to fever.  "Thousands of civilians who struggled to reach the Jiazi Fort lost their lives. In just a short moment, they didn't know how many people fell!"  The remaining common people have completely collapsed. In their hearts, there is no longer any harsh orders from the Jurchen Tatars, and there is no longer any thought of struggling for survival. All they can think of is to stay away from this Shura field! ???????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the A-shaped fort, the original dense crowd was like a nest of ants meeting water.  On the B-shaped fort, the guard who was pointing at the A-shaped fort and yelling at him was stunned and stared at the scene in front of him. After a while, he murmured to himself: "This man named Meng is a ruthless traitor!" Yingzhou City Fortress  Above, Guo Rong and others were also stunned.  Did everyone misjudge this man named Meng again?  Guo Rong turned around and asked Ni Jie again: "Are you choosing a front to attack now?" Ni Jie swallowed hard and said calmly: "No need, in such a situation, do the Jurchen Tatars still dare to attack the A-shaped Fortress today?  ?¡± Under the two black flags, Wanyan Xiyin, who was smiling just now, turned pale at the moment.  Silver skills can be used to achieve success, which is naturally not something he likes to hear.  However, the small fortresses are so stubborn and difficult to attack, which is not good news for the Jurchen army and horses. You must know that Zong Han is still waiting for the Yingzhou passage to be opened!  Since I was sent here by Zong Han as a vanguard to join Yin Shuke, I naturally have to shoulder the responsibility together.  If Yingzhou cannot be defeated, Zong Han must not be able to pass.  But the guard named Meng in Jiazi Fort was too ruthless.  It could have easily been possible to repel these thousands of people who had forced the city to retreat.  But he just put them as close as possible, so calm.  In the end, at least a thousand lives were taken away!  Such a tragic scene made Wanyan Xiyin feel slightly frightened.  Beside him, Yin Shuke's cold voice sounded: "Beat the drum, urge Hulv Mouke to come forward and seize this fortress!"
