Chapter 475
Chapter 5: The Sunset Is Beautiful
Both Guo Yaoshi's army and Wanyan Zongwang's army came from long-distance raids. They were mainly cavalry and did not carry a lot of siege equipment.

Wanyan Zongwang's army was better, because of their large size, they arrived a few hours earlier. When they were stationed outside the city, they made some preparations to attack the city in order to intimidate the soldiers and civilians in the city.

However, there are only a few dozen ladders.

"Kill! The first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and a hundred households will be sealed off!" The general of the Jin Kingdom, Duji Shangshui, gave an order, and thousands of Jin soldiers began to move.

Sanhe County got its name because there are three big rivers in its territory. It belongs to a city with abundant water and grass. Although the city wall is only two feet high and incomplete, the moat is six feet wide and more than one foot deep. Let alone a golden soldier who is not good at fighting fortified battles , even if it is the army of the Song Dynasty, it has to pay a heavy price to attack the city when it is fully prepared.

This was also the main reason why Wanyan Zong hoped to besiege and not attack. A ruined county town with only tens of thousands of people does not need to consume the lives of a large number of men from the Jin Kingdom. It is the best policy to force them to surrender.

However, all difficulties are not difficult in the eyes of Duji Shangshui.

Because he could see clearly from the hanging tower that Sanhe City was in chaos. Although there were many people standing densely on the city wall, only [-]% of them wore military uniforms. Not complete, many even hold wooden guns.

Is this an army?

Are they guarding the city?
Just for show!

Therefore, in the first wave of attacks, Duji Shangshui ordered the whole army to raid.

There is no main attack point, and more than 300 golden soldiers rushed up like a tide within a width of more than 1 meters.

"Shoot the arrows, let the arrows go, shoot them to death!" Jiang Xingjin rushed to the tower of the south gate, shouting desperately.

"Swish, swish..." The arrows whizzed out like locusts.

"Ahh..." The scream of the golden soldier after being shot by the arrow came from under the city wall.

However, it doesn't help.

Surrounded by golden soldiers on three sides, Jiang Xingjin judged that the most likely direction to be attacked was the south gate, but he had no cards to play.

There are only 3000 people in the city who can be called soldiers, and there are more than 1 temporarily armed civilians. There are very few real archers. There are at most a hundred in each direction of the city gate.

More than 100 archers fired arrows at more than 1 people, and they couldn't even slow down the pace of Jin Bing.

"Plop, plop..." The purpose of the first wave of gold soldiers rushing over was not to climb the city wall, but to throw the cloth bags filled with soil into the moat.

Thousands of cloth bags were thrown in. Although the moat could not be filled up, several passages four to five meters wide were opened in the moat, barely enough for water to flow through.

"Kill!" Immediately, the second wave of golden soldiers swarmed to a stop, roaring and rushing to the opposite bank stepping on the cloth bags dropped by their companions.

"Let the arrows!" The first wave of golden soldiers rushing to the bank were archers, and they immediately lined up on the river bank, bent their bows and set arrows, and shot wildly at the city wall.

As more and more golden soldiers crossed the river, the number of archers gathered on the bank quickly increased to more than 2000.

Two thousand against ten thousand, although it took a lot of effort to shoot upwards, it quickly suppressed the Song Army archers on the city wall.

"Ahhhh..." The screams were endless, and people fell to the ground with arrows, and the people on the city wall were so frightened that they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

"Kill!" More golden soldiers rushed over, carrying long ladders, and desperately put the ladders on the edge of the city wall, and then with scimitars in their mouths, they climbed up quickly with both hands and feet.

"Kill them down, beat them down!" Jiang Xingjin yelled anxiously.

It's just that his courage is commendable, but he is only a civil servant, basically ignorant of urban offensive and defensive warfare, and is completely supported by his blood.

In Sanhe, Jiang Xingzhou, the younger brother of Jiang Xingjin, was the only one who could be considered a soldier and knew how to command.

Holding the sword, Jiang Xingzhou galloped back and forth on the city wall, rushing wherever there was an emergency, just like a firefighter running exhausted.

"Pfft!" An arrow hit Jiang Xingzhou's shoulder, and he screamed in pain, the sword in his hand flew down the city wall.

"My lord, we can't hold on any longer!" A soldier next to him rushed to rescue him, but was instantly pierced through the chest by an arrow flying over.

"Resisting is death, escaping is death. Instead of being chased and killed like a dog, it is better to fight!" Jiang Xingzhou gritted his teeth, pulled out the arrow from the arrow, and stabbed a golden soldier who had just charged up the city wall with his backhand He roared angrily, "Master Da Song, it's time to repay the emperor's favor, kill, kill!"

On the city gate tower, Jiang Xingjin stood at the highest and most conspicuous place, motionless like a wooden stake.

He is a civil servant, and he cannot fight the enemy like a younger brother, but he is the county magistrate of Sanhe, he must be nailed here to boost the morale of the people on the city wall, otherwise, as long as he turns around and runs away, everyone will collapse up.

"My lord, it's dangerous here!" The head of the county yamen's office lowered his head, hid behind a pillar, and begged bitterly, "Please hurry to the back to supervise the battle, my lord. This place is entrusted to me, and I will definitely stick to it!"

"Boss Li, your performance today is commendable for your loyalty and bravery. If I can return to the Song Dynasty alive, I will definitely write a letter to the current emperor and ask for credit for you!" Jiang Xingjin not only did not retreat, but took a step forward, holding the railing in his hand. Looking at the strong general of the Jin Kingdom under the banner on the other side of the moat, he shouted: "Golden Dog, you will be punished by God for breaking your promise! I, Jiang Xingjin, are here. If you have the ability, come and kill me!"

That general was Duji Shangshui. As the main general, he didn't need to charge forward, but led a group of generals to stand by the moat to watch the battle.

Duji Shangshui was in a good mood because his judgment was confirmed.

There are not many soldiers in Sanhe City. Most of the people on the city wall are ordinary people. They can't even hold a knife steadily. How can they kill the enemy?
It took only an incense stick of time to start the battle, and most of the troops had already crossed the river, and even a few warriors had even climbed to the top of the city.

Duji Shangshui believed that there was at most one incense stick before the city walls would be occupied and the city gates would be opened.

Next, it's time for a wonderful massacre!
"Hagrid, kill that guy upstairs at the city gate!" Duji Shangshui raised his hand when he heard Jiang Xingjin's call.

Hagrid was a sharp shooter. Although he couldn't compete with the Condor Archer, he could draw a five-stone bow and shoot copper coins within a hundred paces.

Hagrid immediately jumped off his horse, bowed his bow and set an arrow, aiming at Jiang on the city wall and marching.

However, before Hagrid's arrow could be fired, there was a flash of fire on the city wall, and Hagrid fell backwards as if he had been hit hard by something.

"What's wrong?" She was shocked and wanted to go over to check.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt as if his chest had been hit by something, and a feeling of powerlessness swept across his body instantly.

The sunset is so beautiful!
This was the last scene Duji Shangshui saw when he fell off his war horse!
