The castle guards of Tokyo North Gate were somewhat flustered in the face of an additional twenty thousand Jin Bing, but they fought with all their might.
Since the Thunder Cannon Operators were busy concentrating their attacks on the Catapults, the Archers and Rocketmen were occupied suppressing the Jin's Archers, as well as those advancing Jin Bing.
As a result, they were somewhat negligent towards the Jin Bing who climbed up the City Wall using the long ladders, and the Fire Oil was not brought over.
Hundreds of Jin Bing, dressed in gray-yellow armor and wearing fur hats, managed to climb up onto the City Wall and began to engage in combat with the soldiers.
More Jin Bing continued to ascend the Siege Ladders towards the City Wall, starting their assault on the city.
Right Chancellor Li Gang was extremely angry and wanted to rush up to the City Wall, wielding his Broadsword to cut down those Jin people and protect the Great Song.
However, the Imperial Guards firmly blocked him, sending several to protect him.
Qin Feng led several hundred Imperial Guards up to the City Wall, carrying his Broadsword and taking his place in fighting against the enemies.
In reality, he could not replace Li Gang; he genuinely wanted to kill those Jin Invaders who came to invade our Great Song and meet a terrible end.
Of course, there were also some Iron Shields around him to block arrows shot at him.
The walls of Tokyo were very long, and dozens of siege ladders had already been set up by the Jin Bing, continuously climbing upwards.
At this moment, there were already hundreds of gray-yellow armored Jin Bing above, along with some wearing yellow armor, likely stronger than ordinary soldiers.
From the gaps created by the ladders, they charged towards the City Wall. Although they were not numerous, they were quite fierce.
Just in front of Qin Feng and his group was a Siege Ladder from which dozens of Jin Bing emerged, engaging in battle with the defending soldiers.
Leading them were several Jin Bing in yellow armor, taller than ordinary soldiers by two levels. They were much more ferocious, wielding large curved blades and cutting a bloody path towards Qin Feng.
The soldiers defending the city surprisingly did not stop them, and they just charged through.
Qin Feng hated these Jin soldiers to the core. Not only did they invade the land of the Song State, but they also plundered the beauties of the Song State, taking them back to Jin Kingdom as slaves and concubines. It was truly despicable!
They were clearly just herdsmen, yet instead of tending to their cattle and sheep, they ran amok in other countries.
Initially, it was the help of the Song State's elder brother that allowed them to quickly train their troops and take the opportunity to destroy Liao Kingdom.
Now, they were coming to attack the Song State, aiming to annihilate Great Song. They were truly insatiable Vicious Wolves that needed to be dealt with!
Qin Feng led dozens of his subordinates and charged towards them.
The few Jin soldiers clad in yellow armor also brought several dozen soldiers in gray-yellow armor and rushed towards them.
Qin Feng swung his Broadsword and sent one of the yellow-armored Jin soldiers' curved blades flying, then struck at his neck with a single blow.
The throat was instantly cut, blood gushed out, and with a thud, he fell to the ground, dead.
The Jin soldiers were somewhat astonished; they did not expect this person to be so formidable, killing Mouke with a single strike.
In the Jin military structure, every hundred households formed a Mouke, which was roughly equivalent to a centurion in the Song Army. Every thousand households formed a Meng'an, similar to a captain of a thousand.
There were still two Meng'an and three Mouke wielding curved blades, accompanied by dozens of Jin Kingdom soldiers.
They glared angrily and charged at him.
The battlefield was so brutal that losing a brother was commonplace.
Qin Feng was not afraid of these Jin soldiers; the Song people were also very brave. They just had not shown it before, but now it had been unleashed. For you people, there is no way out.
Under the siege of the City Guards, they naturally took down these Jin Bing, all slaughtered on the City Wall.
Qin Feng's Broadsword also beheaded two Meng'an soldiers, looking fierce as they were killed in just a few strikes, utterly useless.
The soldiers also brought over several barrels of Fire Oil, which were poured onto the Ladders, quickly flowing down below.
Torches were placed on the Ladders, instantly igniting a fire that spread for dozens of meters, burning downwards.
The Jin Bing climbing the Ladders were quickly engulfed in flames, suffering horrific burns as they fell from the Ladders, most of them dying.
With the burning of Fire Oil, hundreds of Ladders on the city wall were destroyed, preventing the Jin Bing from climbing up, with at least several hundred burned to death.
Under the command of the Generals, the Thunder Cannoneers also did their best, destroying more Catapults, achieving a great victory.
Many Catapults were ablaze, burning fiercely and rendered unusable.
Below Tokyo City, the Jin Bing were in disarray; their attack was not very effective!
Behind tens of thousands of chaotic Jin Army soldiers stood a man in golden Tiger Head armor—Jin Army Marshal Wolibu—silent and with a pained expression.
Several Generals in Golden Armor stood to his left and right, looking at him fearfully.
The Jin Army was indeed formidable, but what was that black iron ball? It seemed to be called Thunder Cannon; it was so powerful that it disrupted the entire army.
The Generals looked anxious and frightened, saying: "Marshal Wolibu, we should retreat! Let's prepare more siege machinery for another assault on Tokyo City another day; it seems we cannot take it today."
"My army has suffered tens of thousands in casualties; many Archers have been shot down, and most of our catapults have been destroyed. The Siege Ladders on the city are all burned; we cannot attack for now!"
Wolibu glared at them angrily. Why were they acting so cowardly today when they usually behaved like wolves? They actually wanted to retreat.
He said, "I see that many of the Song Army in the city have also died. The trebuchet is broken, so use the large wooden logs to break open the Tokyo City Gate. I want to charge in and kill all those Song Army."
The several Generals exchanged glances, some hesitant to speak.
The Thunder Cannon of the Song Army is truly formidable; it has even damaged our Iron Shield and killed many of our Jin Bing.
Moreover, those thousands of Archers and Rocketmen on the City Wall shot down the Jin Bing carrying the large logs before they even reached the city gate.
A General dressed in Golden Armor, seemingly holding higher prestige in the army, slowly stepped forward.
He said, "Wolibu Marshal, our army did not expect that the Song State would possess such powerful Thunder Cannons. This has severely injured our forces, and now morale is in disarray. Many of our siege machines are also damaged. I suggest we rest for two days before resuming the attack."
Wolibu walked over and kicked him down to the ground, feeling a sense of relief.
Still maintaining an arrogant demeanor, he said, "The Golden Warriors are so valiant and have won many battles. Now that we have suffered such a heavy defeat, you actually want to retreat? Isn't that too ridiculous?"
"I command you to immediately reorganize the troops. Lift those large logs and break open the Tokyo City Gate. I want to charge in."
The Generals dared not refuse and responded affirmatively, agreeing to his orders.
At that moment, a Jin Bing clad in gray-yellow armor ran over and immediately knelt down.
He said, "Wolibu Marshal, bad news! The Great Song's most formidable Western Route Army has arrived, led by the renowned general Zhong Shidao with 80,000 elite soldiers. They are only a few dozen miles from Tokyo. What should we do?"
Wolibu realized that this was serious; he did not expect the Western Route Army to arrive so quickly—surely they had been marching day and night!
If they were allowed to attack from both sides, it would undoubtedly result in even more casualties among the Jin Bing. This was dire.
He said, "Send my military order as Marshal: let all the siege Jin Bing retreat! Fall back several dozen miles outside the city."
The generals were delighted to hear that the Marshal had ordered a retreat, smiles spreading across their faces as they cheered.
They quickly sent out messengers, and several drummers stood by, blowing their horns to signal the retreat of the Jin Bing.
The sound of the horns echoed, growing fainter as it traveled farther away.
The horn's sound could carry quite a distance, especially since many were playing it, and soon the Jin Bing heard it.
Originally, tens of thousands of Jin Bing were stuck in a position where they couldn't advance or retreat. Moving forward would expose them to heavy bombardment from the Thunder Cannon, with dozens of Jin Bing being blown to pieces instantly.
They would also face attacks from the archers and rocketmen on the city wall, resulting in numerous casualties, which made them extremely anxious.
Hearing the call was a relief; it signified a withdrawal.
They hurriedly retreated, showing no intention of continuing the siege. Many discarded their weapons, and helmets fell off their heads.
Wearing them was too troublesome; escaping was more important, so they let them go.
