Wuyanpuluhun was shot in the face.

He fell off his horse and crashed to the ground on the spot.

Huyan Tong, however, reined in his horse, slowed down, and stopped.

Urge the warhorse to return.

He fired another shot at Puluhun, who was still alive.

The spear pierced the armor.

Wuyanpuluhun was still alive.

Hu Yantong jumped off his horse and landed.

He drew his sword and pinned down the enemy general.

Everything is close to the throat.

Wuyanpuluhun brought a troop of Jin soldiers to assist in the battle.

They rushed over to rescue him the moment he fell from his horse.

The soldiers brought by Huyan Tong

They roared and charged forward as well.

The drumbeats of both sides,

It became more intense.

Huyan Tong lifted up Wuyanpuluhun's head.

Quickly restarted,

They raced back and forth across the open field, showing off.

He led his small team,

They rushed towards the Jin soldiers' support team.

The morale of that Jin army troop plummeted.

They were killed and fled back in a sorry state.

Huyan Tong, on the other hand, led his troops.

They took away Wuyanpuluhun's warhorse and corpse along with it.

A large contingent of Jin soldiers caught up.

Near the moat,

They were shot back by the Ming army defending the city.

"Good man!"

Li Bao personally went down to greet him.

He patted Hu Yantong on the shoulder and praised him highly.

"Victory! Victory!"

The Ming soldiers defending the city,

A burst of cheers erupted.

Meanwhile, the Jin soldiers lost the duel between their generals.

Morale is inevitably low.

Another gold general,

Without even having time to apply to play,

He rode his horse to the city walls and shouted:

"If you've got the guts, let's fight again!"

Li Bao sneered: "Shoot him to death!"

We've already won one battle.

Who the hell wants to fight you one-on-one?

A volley of arrows was fired.

That Jin general was almost shot to death on the spot.

He fell off his horse and slunk back to his formation in disgrace.

Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Talan,

They were all left looking helpless.

In their view,

The Ming army's only advantage was its superior firearms.

A general is definitely weak in one-on-one combat.

That's why I wanted to demoralize the defending troops through one-on-one duels.

But unexpectedly,

The Jurchen warriors with immense strength,

Surprisingly, he lost in the duel.

Moreover, the Ming army won a one-on-one duel.

They would never fight again.

"Hahahaha!"

Watching the Jin general who had challenged them flee in a sorry state,

The Ming soldiers on the city wall burst into laughter.

Even the Bohai soldiers who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty along with Daming Zhen and Daming Yi

They all became full of confidence at that moment.

They had witnessed the power of the thunderbolt before.

Now even military generals are this good at one-on-one combat.

What is there to fear if we defend the city?

Since the brothers Da Mingzhen,

With the help of the coastal county town of Toming,

Li Bao then began to reinforce the city walls here.

We have to reinforce it.

The entire Liaoxi Corridor,

The Ming Dynasty only had this one city.

Both sides are enemies and will attack sooner or later.

Daming Zhen and Daming Yi surrendered because the Jin dynasty did not have enough food.

They also requested that Li Bao transport more grain.

It supported the salt workers and farmers of the coastal county.

Li Bao was able to use work as a form of relief.

Let the people who have no food come and build the city.

Due to a shortage of laborers

Soldiers also took turns participating in the construction.

It took three or four months in total.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the city walls of Haibin County are short and small.

However, the thickness of the foundation wall was increased to nearly ten meters.

In terms of the thickness of the city wall,

It was already equivalent to a prefecture-level city in the Central Plains region.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Jin soldiers' trebuchets

Large stones were thrown at them continuously.

The outer layer of the city wall is more than three meters thick with rammed earth.

These were all newly added in the last few months.

It was dented and pitted by large rocks.

Moreover, it developed numerous cracks.

Chapter 3131 The Huihui Cannon

On the fourth day after being hit by the trebuchet,

A large section of the exterior wall even collapsed.

The original walls inside were exposed.

Shoddy construction project!

There was no other way but to reinforce it hastily.

There is a shortage of manpower and raw materials.

Moreover, between the old and new walls...

Lacking proper ramming and fitting,

It rained a lot recently,

It's perfectly normal for new walls to be demolished.

But the accuracy of the trebuchet was appalling.

It's impossible to demolish the new wall after that.

They also bombarded the old wall inside from the same spot.

The trebuchet bombarded the area continuously for over half a month.

Nearly half of the new walls on both the east and west sides of the city have collapsed.

It's equivalent to destroying a large portion of the outer armor of the city wall.

The old walls inside,

It suffered almost no damage.

Wanyan Zongbi feared that the Ming army would leave the city and destroy the siege equipment.

They dared not divide their troops to set up forward camps for construction.

Even the trebuchet,

They were also transported out of the Jin army camp every day.

They will be assembled outside the city.

They dismantled it in the afternoon and transported it back to the camp.

Half the time is spent on transportation and dismantling.

They bombarded the city walls for only two or three hours each day.

Wanyan Zongwang sent a telescope as a gift.
