    Li Bao ordered the Jin soldiers to push the city-climbing cart back to the Jinying side of the moat, and asked him to bring Song soldiers to raise the city-climbing cart by four feet. In this way, the city-climbing cart was already three feet higher than the city head. The Liao soldiers wanted to  It would be impossible to throw a log weighing hundreds of kilograms up and roll it down the steps.

    Jie Wanli stood at the top of the city and watched the Song soldiers in the distance heighten the city car. He smiled contemptuously. He ordered the Liao soldiers to move dozens of earthen jars from the corner of the city to the city head. After the city car was raised,  Slowly approaching, Jie Wanli gave an order, and the Liao soldiers at the head of the city picked up these earthen jars and threw them at the city climbing vehicle. The jars were broken, and the lamp oil contained in them flowed down the city climbing vehicle. Li Bao was shocked and quickly sent an order to board the city.  The cart was pushed back. The cart moved very slowly. Jie Wanli commanded the Liao soldiers to shoot rockets at the cart. The cart was made of wood and burned easily after being poured with oil. In a short time, the cart became a  A fire rack, even if you want to put it out, you can't put it out.

    Wan Yanliang lamented that it was a pity. If he had taken some fire prevention measures earlier, such as watering the city climbing car, he might have used it to climb to the top of the city. The manufacturing of this city climbing car was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it was impossible to build another one in a short time.  Fought.

    Wan Yanliang asked Li Baodao: "Where is the ten thousand catty hammer that General Li mentioned?" Li Baodao said: "The ten thousand catty hammer is still thirty miles away. If we want to break the city, it seems not easy to climb to the top of the city. Why not try digging a tunnel?  .¡±

    Wan Yanliang shook his head and said: "It takes a long time to dig a tunnel. Moreover, there is a watchtower at the top of the city, and there must be a listening room in the city. I'm afraid it will be useless." Li Bao said: "We have city digging trucks in our army.  , dig a tunnel into the city, and it can be dug out at dawn."

    Wan Yanliang had never heard of the name of the city digging truck he was talking about, and he didn't know what it was. Li Bao personally sent several strong men holding shields to check under the city wall. He frowned and chose a place under the city wall for a long time before choosing a place under the city wall and said: "  Start digging right here.¡±

    The capital city of Yunnei Prefecture is located in a shallow hilly area. Not only are the foundations of the city wall built with huge stones brought from far away from Xixia, but there are also many stones on the ground under the city. Excavation is very laborious. No wonder Li Bao is frowning. Yunnei Prefecture talks about land and water conservancy.  It is not as good as Ningren, and the transportation convenience is not as good as Roufu, but the Liao Kingdom chose this place as its capital. The important reason is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack when building a city.

    Digging a tunnel under a city wall, as long as it is big and wide enough, is equivalent to opening another city gate.

    Wan Yanliang was greatly surprised when he heard that Li Bao was going to dig a city at the foot of the city wall. It should be noted that digging a tunnel into the city meant a surprise attack. Naturally, the more concealed the better, the excavation site was far away from the city and some disguise was required.  The tunnel passes through the bottom of the moat. If it is dug through accidentally, the river water will pour in. The consequences will be very serious, so the amount of work is very large.

    The city defenders often set up listening rooms deep underground under the city walls, using large tanks to listen for the sound of digging. The watchtower on the top of the city observed the enemy camp. If new layers of soil were turned up and the moat became muddy, they would know that the enemy was there.  Tunnel dug.

    Li Bao would dig a tunnel blatantly at the foot of the city wall, which would naturally be much faster, but how could the Liao soldiers at the top of the city watch you dig indifferently?  When the digging truck was pushed under the city wall, Fang Jinshi understood.

    This excavating truck is like a large container in later generations. The walls and top are made of very thick hard pine boards, and there are some vertical timber supports inside. In order to prevent fire, the top is thickly paved with silt. This excavating truck is pushed to  At the foot of the city wall, the Jin soldiers got into their carts and dug as hard as they could. No matter whether it was big rocks or wood, the Liao soldiers at the top of the city could not damage the digging carts. Even the Liao soldiers dropped the stone lions in front of the government office without smashing them.  Damn this sturdy digging truck.

    The Liao soldiers could not get out of the city, so they could only see that there was no other way. The digging truck extended straight to the moat, and a winch rope trolley was set up inside to dump the excavated soil and stones into the moat. Although the excavation was not interfered by the enemy troops at the head of the city,  , but the foundation in Yunneizhou is too hard, there are many rocks, and the space inside the excavator is limited, so the excavation progress is not fast.

    The Jin soldiers dug very deep before digging towards the city in order to bypass the foundation made of huge rocks in Yunneizhou. The next morning, the excavating Jin soldiers moved some stones away and unexpectedly found a  entrance of the cave.

    This hole was dug larger, and in front of it was the huge stone foundation of the city wall, with two lanes extending to both sides. It was so dark that I didn¡¯t know where it led. Wan Yan was rewarded with a bright face, and she felt happy in her heart. This was obviously a tunnel dug under the city.  A mysterious underground palace, or a secret tunnel dug through the Liao army.

    Wan Yanliang ordered the excavators to withdraw. The siege soldiers entered the tunnel from the excavator and advanced to the secret passages on both sides. The tunnel was very narrow and could only allow one person to advance. After walking a short distance, they came to a large tunnel.  in the hall.

    The top of this hall is three feet high, and there are a lot of hay and cotton wool on the ground. It seems to be an underground warehouse where the Liao soldiers store these materials. Continue along the alleyway, and not far away there is another hall. The things inside are the same.  After walking through four or five halls, a small stone door in front was closed.

    The leaders of the Jin soldiers believed that fighting?This stone gate is in front of Yunneizhou City. I ordered the golden soldiers to go forward and pry open this stone gate. Suddenly there was a noise above my head, and a square hole appeared on the top of the hall. A ray of sunlight came in. The golden soldiers rushed  Look up.

    There was a line of water pouring down from above at the entrance of the cave, and it drenched the golden soldiers on the ground. Then the people above laughed. It turned out that this person peed downwards, and then several people peed downwards. There was actually a cloud above them.  Liao soldiers in Neizhou City.

    After a few peeings, many torches and burning wood were thrown from the entrance of the cave. There were hay and cotton wool everywhere in the underground hall. The fire quickly burned. The golden soldiers ran out together, but the exit was narrow, and several of them escaped.  They were huddled together, and the crowd behind them came up, and no one could get out. Several halls were on fire at the same time, and the thick smoke underground couldn't get out. The fire had not yet reached it, but it was overtaken by the thick smoke.

    This tunnel hall has become a hell on earth. There are cries of ghosts and wolves, and there is no way to escape underground. Some golden soldiers want to go out and kill their companions who are blocking the road in front, but only a few people who came in behind can escape.

    Wan Yanliang looked at the Jin soldiers escaping from the city digging truck. He couldn't figure out why there was a fire burning underground. In fact, what the Jin soldiers were digging was not a secret tunnel in the underground palace, but a defensive excavation in Yunnei Prefecture City.  ditch.

    Wanyan Liang's face was livid. After waiting for a long time, he said to Tang Kuo: "Quickly order the passage to be cleared before sending people in." Li Bao said: "No, going in will also lead to death." Wanyan Liang said: "The combustibles have been  If it is burned out, where will he come from?" Li Bao sighed and said: "The fire is gone, but there is still water. This anti-ditch trench must have access to the river. It will be useless no matter how many people go in, so give up this method."

    Wan Yanliang said angrily: "It took more than a day to attack the city, and nearly 10,000 people were killed and injured. We didn't even have a direct confrontation with the Liao army. Is this city of Yunneizhou really just an iron wall?" Li Baodao said: "For the current plan, we can only use ten thousand kilograms.  The hammer has hit the city gate." Wan Yanliang said: "Then if General Li hasn't ordered the 10,000-jin hammer to be brought up, when will we wait?"

    Li Bao saw that the young general Wan Yanliang was furious, so he did not dare to neglect, and asked his Song soldiers to push out the ten thousand catty hammer. The ten thousand catty hammer was a door-breaking instrument, while the golden soldiers were carrying a tree when they hit the city gate.  The big tree trunks collided in unison. The thing that hit the door with this 10,000-pound hammer was an iron-cast cylinder that was only a little thinner than the tree trunk used by the Jin soldiers. It was more than twice as heavy as the tree trunk, and the collision force was greater. The iron pillar was made of  The iron chain was hung on a wooden frame. There were more than a dozen wheels under the wooden frame. The siege soldiers pushed the 10,000-pound hammer and ran forward, using speed and inertia, plus the weight of the iron pillar itself, to hit the city gate hard.

    Although the city gate of Yunnei Prefecture was extremely hard, the Jin soldiers kept burning it for a whole day. The force of the ten-thousand-pound hammer was very overbearing. Under the continuous impact, the iron city gate gradually dented, and the wooden door nails on the inside fell apart.  The soldiers shouted slogans and quickly pushed the ten-thousand-pound hammer and hit it violently. Finally, the city gate could not withstand the force, and holes opened left and right.

    The Liao soldiers defending behind the gate shouted: "The gate is broken, lower the Qianjin gate quickly!" The shouts and the sounds of weapons fighting merged, and the Jin soldiers poured in from the city gate like a tide that broke the embankment, with momentum like a rainbow, shouting  The sound of killing shook the sky.

    On the side, the soldier in charge of the thousand-jin gate in the Liao army pulled out the fastening pin of the winch combination of the lifting and lowering the thousand-jin gate, and hit the winch with a hammer. The thousand-jin gate shook, but did not fall immediately. The reason was that the thousand-jin gate had been used for more than two years.  It had not been moved, and the winch chain was rusty and stuck. Even though the stone of the thousand-pound gate was not only extremely heavy, it did not fall at all.

    Qianjin Gate, also known as Suoguan, is the last checkpoint to enter the city. The stone slab used in Suoguan in Yunneizhou City can no longer be called a stone slab, but a huge stone nearly two feet thick and one foot high. It is too heavy.  It takes hundreds of people to work for a whole day to raise it at a time. The garrison of Yunneizhou City was afraid of trouble and firmly believed that it would only take the blink of an eye to fall down the Suoguan Pass, so they did not fall early. Moreover, an important function of the Suoguan Gate was to prevent a small number of enemy soldiers from breaking through.  The city gate was lowered to isolate these enemy soldiers in the urn city, making it easier for the defenders at the top of the city and the city to shoot and kill them.

    However, the Thousand Jin Gate actually played a big joke on the Liao army at this critical moment. After not using it for too long, the winch chain got stuck. The Liao soldiers who fell behind the gate followed up with another hammer, but it was already too late. When the Jin soldiers saw  The city gate was broken, and several Jin generals rushed to the winch of the suoguan machine. The first Jin general had already rushed forward with a mace. He raised the stick and beat the Liao soldier to death. The winch had begun to rotate, and the iron  The chain slid and the boulder from the Thousand Jin Gate fell rapidly.

    This golden general was so fierce that he couldn't see it. He rushed towards the winch and struggled to stuff the mace in his hand into the winch. The mace was made of solid iron. After a few "click" sounds, it caught the falling boulder.  He suddenly stopped it and stopped four or five feet above the ground. This move was so powerful that several very thick iron ropes and rings collapsed.

    The golden general wielding the mace was too close to the winch. Two winches clamped his arms and squeezed the golden general into the winch. Half of his body became like a pancake. The golden soldiers shouted and held their shields above their heads.??, resisting the rain of arrows shot from the top of the city, running through the barbican city.

    When Wan Yanliang saw that the city gate was breached, he was overjoyed. He drew his sword and shouted: "Charge!" He jumped off the platform and followed the tide of golden soldiers towards the city gate.

    Breaking through the city gate and entering the enemy's barbican city, the Jin soldiers have never failed to break the city once in history, and since the city offensive and defensive wars, such a situation has almost never happened. The barbican city in Yunnei Prefecture is only more than a hundred steps away  The length of these more than one hundred steps has become an eternal nightmare for the Jurchens.

    The rain of arrows at the top of the city was very dense, stone tree trunks fell one after another, and many golden soldiers fell down, but more golden soldiers stepped on the corpses and rushed over with shields held high. At the end of the road in Wengcheng, it seemed that there were only a few people hugging two  The wooden frame seems to want to stop the powerful golden soldiers with these two broken pieces of wood.

    Song Qian still hid his six-fingered right hand in his sleeve, calmly watching the Jin soldiers pouring into the urn city getting closer and closer. It had been some time since he arrived, and his childhood neighbor and friend Xie Wanli led him  He visited the defense of Yunnei Prefecture City. As a master among masters of city defense, Song Qian was even a little disappointed.

    What he was disappointed with was that the Yunnei Prefecture City was too strong, well prepared, and had defenders like Jie Wanli. It would be difficult for Jin Bing to break through the Yunnei Prefecture City, so his Wannulun would not be used, and of course he would not be able to use it.  There is no way to test its performance.

    It¡¯s just that the Jin Bing suddenly had the most advanced and powerful siege weapons in the world, and the Jin Bing¡¯s siege method was not afraid of death and did not care about casualties. The city gate was actually broken, and the gate was not even lowered.

    The Song family in Kaifeng, Bianliang, is most famous for their skillful hands. They can make the most powerful weapons in the world and the most delicious fish soup. They also have an almost perverted obsession with technology that most people don't have.

    Song Qian¡¯s biggest concern now is no longer his own safety, nor the justice of the war nor his purpose of coming here to defend the city. What he cares about is how good are the performance of these two Wannu Wheels?  Are there any areas that need improvement, and what is the actual effect?

    The Jin soldiers raised their shields and rushed into the narrow urn city, with the front door wide open. In Song Qian's view, they were no different from the pigs, cattle, horses and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. They were all experimental subjects. This urn city in the capital city of Yunnei Prefecture  It's a slaughterhouse.

    Wannulun is ready, really ready.
