Guo Dehai has been fighting for half his life, and this is the first time he has encountered this situation.

The explosion just now really frightened him, and the defenders on the city were also frightened by the explosion.

The 20,000 Mongolian troops in Zhengzhou City are now in panic and the military morale has been shaken.

Guo Dehai stood at the top of the city and roared angrily, "Don't worry, everyone, just defend the city. Mongolia has its destiny. I don't believe the enemy can summon thunder from the sky and blow me up to death!"

At this time, Wu Xian led 3,000 soldiers and rushed through the gap, meeting the Mongolian army reinforcing in the city.

Guo Dehai was able to catch the enemy by surprise. If he hadn't placed 3,000 men behind the city wall to prevent the Jin soldiers from digging tunnels into the city, the Jin army would have already rushed into the city.

At this time, the two armies were fighting for their lives on the slope. The Jin army's morale was very high, but after all, there were too many new soldiers and they were unable to defeat the defenders for a while and failed to rush into the city.

This gave Guo Dehai an opportunity to stabilize his army's morale. When the defenders on the city saw that after the explosion, the Jin soldiers were not in front of them, they would not turn around and run away.

Therefore, under his orders, the panic-stricken defenders reluctantly picked up their weapons, came to the edge of the city wall, and fired a wave of arrows at the pressing Jin army.

Zhao Tai's idea was very simple, use gunpowder to explode, and then take advantage of the defenders to be frightened, and use all his strength to directly capture the city.

Therefore, after the explosion, Zhao Tai gave an order, and all the golden soldiers in formation pressed forward.

At this time, the Mongolian troops on the city hurriedly fired arrows, and dense arrows shot down the city head.

In siege battles, the attacking side often suffered huge casualties, but Zhao Tai cherished the lives of his soldiers, so he never exposed his soldiers to the enemy's arrows on a large scale during the siege.

After many days of preparation, the Jin soldiers built a large number of equipment. The Jin army attacking the city pushed siege towers, wells, and shield carts. The soldiers hid behind these equipment. Most of the arrows on the city were shot in front of the equipment. It was difficult to

Injuring the soldiers behind.

Seeing the Jin army approaching despite the rain of arrows, Guo Dehai quickly shouted angrily, "Quickly, bring in more reinforcements."

Now the hearts of the defenders on the city are shaken. Once the Jin soldiers attack the city, the fearful Mongolian army may be defeated.

In order to stabilize his position, Guo Dehai could only mobilize troops and horses from the city to help.

At this time, Zhao Tai was standing on the watchtower, scanning the battlefield, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw that Wuxian was actually blocked in the gap.

In Zhao Tai's view, such a violent explosion had frightened the defenders in the city, and the city wall was blown up, leaving nearby defenders dead or injured. The defense should be empty, and Wuxian could rush directly into the city.

Now that Wuxian was blocked, Zhao Tai was a little surprised, but he immediately understood that the other party must have a reserve team behind the city wall for reinforcements so quickly.

The Jin army has many new soldiers. If the enemy army is allowed to stabilize its position, the city will be difficult to attack.

Zhao Tai immediately ordered, "Set the trebuchet to the front of the city!"

Zhao Tai gave an order, and more than ten trebuchets moved forward slowly, pulled by mules and horses and pushed by soldiers.

When the artillery carts moved forward, the Jin army's siege troops had already rushed to the front of the city. The shield carts in the front row stopped and lined up under the city. The archers hid behind the shield carts and fired arrows at the city.

The sword and shield bearers of the Jin army carried the city ladder and hugged the siege tower towards the bottom of the city.

After the military order was given, it was like a dam had opened! The soldiers were swarming towards the city wall of Zhengzhou like a flood!

The morale of the Jin army was high, which frightened the Mongolian army defending the city. As soon as they experienced the explosion, they were attacked by the Jin army. The Mongolian army responded in a panic.

There were originally many ballistas at the top of the city wall in Zhengzhou, and there were trebuchets behind the city wall, but they were all panicked and did not fire a few times.

Now the Jin army rushed to the base of the wall and entered a blind spot. They wanted to attack, but they were too late.

At this time, the Jin army who rushed to the city quickly erected a ladder to climb the city. The Jin soldiers first raised the ladder high so that the top of the ladder was higher than the top of the city, and then pulled it down, and the iron hook at the top hooked the top of the city.

, making it impossible for the defenders to push it down.

"Go up!" The ladder was put up on the top of the city, and the officer immediately shouted an order.

When the soldiers under the city saw that the ladder was fixed, they climbed up quickly!

All of a sudden, the Jin Army's siege towers, ladders and other equipment arrived one after another. Under the cover of the archers, the Jin Army's soldiers climbed up like ants.

At this time, the defenders on the city, amidst the officers' scoldings, also understood that in a battle between the two armies, either you would die or I would die, and there was no point in being afraid.

The defenders on the city began to throw down stones and shoot arrows from the protruding horses on the city wall. The golden soldiers who were climbing up the city began to fall like dates.

Seeing this, Guo Dehai felt relieved, but at this moment, a cry of surprise came from the gap.

Although the Mongolian army was more elite than the Jin soldiers, they were frightened by the explosion. Facing the Jin army's attack, they were unable to display their original strength. They were almost pinned to the ground and beaten by the Jin soldiers.

Wu Xian led his subordinates to drive the Mongolian troops down the slope and stood at the highest point of the collapse.

The Jin soldiers took advantage of the location, and stabbed the Mongolian soldiers with their spears. The Mongolian soldiers who climbed up were stabbed down one after another, and the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers rolled down the slope in layers.

The Mongolian army attacked upwards for a while and suffered extremely heavy losses. Wu Xian saw that the morale of the Mongolian army was low, so he immediately led his subordinates to charge downward. The Mongolian army's line was immediately killed by the golden soldiers and retreated steadily.

Seeing that the Jin soldiers were about to rush into the city, the Mongolian army's lines screamed again and again, and danger was everywhere.

Seeing this, Guo Dehai hurriedly roared, "Quick, send archers to both sides of the collapse to suppress the gold thieves' attack."

He gave the order, and the Mongolian troops who had just arrived for reinforcements rushed towards the gap.

They stood on the city walls on both sides of the gap and fired arrows at the Jin army on the slope. The braver Mongolian army even jumped directly onto the slope to fight with the Jin army.

Wuxian had already rushed down the slope on the back and was about to enter the city. However, the Jin army that climbed over the slope was attacked by the Mongolian troops on both sides.

The Jin army that climbed over the slope was restrained by attacks from both sides. The Wu Xian who rushed down the slope lacked stamina and was forced back up the slope by the Mongolian army.

"Okay!" Guo Dehai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the Mongolian army had stabilized its position. At this time, the Jin army's artillery group had already reached the firing position.

The gunners of the Jin Army lined up more than ten artillery carts in front of the city, then took out the thunderbolts manufactured by the Suining Ordnance Bureau from the sealed box, installed them and prepared for firing.

At this time, Guo Dehai looked around. He stared at the battlefield and found that although the Jin army's offensive was fierce and dangers continued to appear on the city, the Mongolian army still managed to stabilize its defense line.

This made Guo Dehai secretly happy, but at this moment, the Mongolian troops on the city screamed again and again.

Hearing the sound, Guo Dehai quickly looked forward, and the expression on his face suddenly changed like that of a defender at the top of a city.

He did not see the artillery group of the Jin Army, but found Zhao Tai in the center of the Jin Army, wearing Taoist robes, starting to dance again and dancing the magic sword in a muttered voice.

Guo Dehai's heart froze, could Zhao Tai really be able to summon thunder?

The defenders at the top of the city did not dare to look down upon him. When they saw what Zhao Tai was doing from a distance, they all panicked.

Guo Dehai hurriedly yelled: "Don't panic! This is a trick, there is no way anyone can summon thunder!"
