Ma Wenzhen was rushing to Quanzhou with his siege equipment. Since they were heavy weapons, the march was slow.
Siege chariots, catapults, and boxes of firearms sealed with wax and varnish to prevent moisture.
Objects like thunder bombs and lightning bombs are most afraid of moisture, so they need to be handled with extra care.
Gert was a little panicked. The Song army was gathering in numbers, but they refused to attack the city. What was going on? He didn't dare to leave the city with his pitiful force. He could only hold the city gates, hoping that the broken walls could stop the Song army's attack.
Quanzhou was relatively isolated, and if he sent troops there for help, the garrisons elsewhere would likely be intercepted by Han Shizhong's troops. Gert would be unwilling to abandon the city and flee.
The equipment was originally scheduled to arrive on the third day, but Ma Wen only hurriedly arrived on the fifth day to join them. Zhu Qing was so angry that he kept saying he wanted to kill Ma Wen. It wasn't Ma Wen's fault, as the heavy equipment was difficult to carry.
After seeing what Marvin brought, Zhu Qing stopped cursing. Ladders, infantry fighting vehicles, crossbows, catapults, thunder bombs, heavy armor, bundles of arrows, everything was there.
"Ma Wen, you've spent all my fortune." Zhu Qing looked at the equipment with satisfaction.
Ma Wen smiled and said, "Aren't you worried that Quanzhou City will be difficult to capture? If we don't use these equipment, when will we use them?"
Zhu Qing walked back to the tent and everyone followed him inside.
In the general's tent, Zhu Qing gave the order to attack the city.
"Marvin, lead the Blue Wolf Regiment to launch a feint attack from both wings of the south city. Remember, bombard the city walls with firearms first. Kong Fuzi, lead your men to harass the east and west cities. No need to attack, just cavalry will suffice. Luo Shiqi, your mission is the most important. Set up an ambush twenty miles outside the north gate to prevent Gert from escaping."
All the generals bowed and accepted the order. Zhu Qing looked at Li Cheng and said, "Captain Li, the main attack mission for the South City is now assigned to your Grey Wolf Independent Battalion. You must break through the city gate!"
Li Cheng's blood boiled with enthusiasm: "I obey your orders!"
"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of war drums rang out outside the city. Gert, who was already terrified in the tent, became even more panicked: "What happened?"
For these soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they have already heard that the sound of the Song army's war drums means an attack, which represents fear to them.
“by.
"Q report, Captain, the Song army is besieging the city!" The guard came in a panic.
"It's finally here." Gert said dejectedly, "Pass the order and prepare for battle."
Shaobu ran in at this moment, looking panicked. Gert was furious when he saw him: "Shaobu! Why don't you go and defend the city?"
"Wan, Captain, please go to the top of the city and take a look." Shao Bu's face was full of fear.
Gert climbed up the city wall nervously, only to find that the dark mass of Song army was slowly attacking from afar.
You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it. They're all catapults. The catapults really scared Gert at Sunset Slope.
The trebuchet wasn't the most formidable thing; the projectiles inside were terrifying. Thunder bombs, thunder bombs, they were thrown out at once, causing casualties everywhere.
The key point is that this thing is scary, and the explosion sound can scare people to death.
"Captain Wan, let's run." The Baganda centurion next to him stammered in fear.
There was no suspense in this siege. The huge impact force of the catapult threw gunpowder onto the city wall, and the Mongolian soldiers on the wall were immediately blown to pieces. A corner of the city wall, which was not strong to begin with, was blown down.
Next came the crossbows with terrifying penetrating power. Some of the crossbow arrows penetrated into the city wall to a depth of several feet. Many Song soldiers climbed up the low city wall with the help of the crossbow arrows shot from the crossbows.
Li Cheng's troops, who had been timid at first, suddenly transformed into extremely brave men. These men were provoked. The tragic death of Li Cheng's family and the daily humiliation they suffered at the hands of the Mongolian soldiers had transformed this army from a group of sheep into jackals.
"Kill! Brothers, the time for revenge has come!" As countless Song soldiers climbed onto the city walls, the tactics became one-sided.
Li Cheng stood on the city wall, brandishing his sword, searching for his target. There was a man cowering in a corner, out of reach of arrows. He was the son of housekeeper Liu, the prodigal son who had betrayed his own family.
Li Cheng was furious and was about to rush forward with his knife raised. Suddenly, a figure flashed by, Shao Bu.
Shaobu rode his horse and began to flee north. Li Cheng didn't bother to kill the prodigal son and turned around to chase Shaobu.
The housekeeper Liu's son was so frightened that he tried to flee as well. Suddenly, Li Cheng spotted a dead Mongolian soldier with a dagger stuck in his chest. He pulled out the dagger and threw it back, hitting the fleeing housekeeper Liu's son. The prodigal fell headfirst, meeting his due end.
At this time, the Tielang Army had already broken through the city gate, and a large group of Song soldiers rushed into the city on horseback.
Li Cheng rushed over, pulled a Song soldier off his horse, jumped on the horse himself, and went after Shao Bu.
Shao Bu had become a headless fly, without even a guard around him. He turned around and saw Li Cheng rushing towards him with red eyes and a knife in hand. He trembled with fear and spurred his horse to run even faster.
"Swoosh!" An arrow shot by a Song soldier who had attacked the city hit the fast horse under Shaobu's crotch, and Shaobu fell off the horse.
Just then, Li Cheng arrived. Enemies meeting each other, their eyes blazed with jealousy. Without much talk, Li Cheng dismounted and lunged.
Faced with Li Cheng, who was as powerful as a mad tiger, Shaobu was so scared that he forgot all the fighting skills he had learned in his life.
After only a few rounds, Shao Bu slashed with his sword, and the move made Lao Lao unable to return the sword. Li Cheng suddenly jumped up and rushed forward with the sword.
With a "click", Shaobu's hand and the knife were chopped off by Li Cheng.
Shaobu screamed, blood pouring from his right arm. Li Chenghu roared and pounced on Shaobu like a madman. He didn't use a knife, but bit Shaobu's ear with his teeth.
With a "chi" sound, Shaobu's right ear was bitten off by Li Cheng.
Li Cheng lost his mind to the rage of revenge, biting and ripping at Shao Bu with all his might. Shao Bu was already terrified, his face a bloody mess. His nose was bitten off, and half of his face was bitten off.
Shaobu struggled to crawl forward, and Li Cheng finally regained some sanity. He went over and picked up the things on the ground.
He did not kill Shaobu with one blow, but tortured him slowly.
With one blow, Shaobu's right foot was chopped off. Accompanied by a scream that was not human, another blow, and Shaobu's left foot was only a piece of skin and flesh.
Scenes of his old mother, wife and children flashed before Li Cheng's eyes, and Li Cheng continued to raise the knife of revenge.
After another blow, another blow. I don't know how long it took, but finally Shaobu, lying on the ground, stopped moving, and blood flowed all over the ground.
When the others rushed over, they were stunned by the scene before them.
Shaobu, lying on the ground, looked like he had been torn apart by a wild beast, and there was blood at the corner of Li Cheng's mouth. He finally threw away the chain, and he used his enemy's blood to buy back his dignity.
Gert committed suicide. His right arm was already injured, and he cut his throat with his left hand.
Luo Shiqi's troops in the north city didn't even help at all. Quanzhou has now belonged to the Song Dynasty.
