Summary

The chapter depicts a fierce battle between the Jin and Song armies at Taiyuan City. Jin soldiers aggressively climb cloud ladders to attack the Song forces, who are defending the city wall. Despite heavy casualties from arrows and the limited use of iron fire thunder due to dwindling supplies, the Song soldiers manage to hold their ground. A pivotal moment occurs when a wounded Song soldier detonates an iron fire thunder, destroying a cloud ladder and allowing the Song army to regain control of the wall. Meanwhile, the Jin army attempts to use a massive siege hammer to breach the city gate. After several unsuccessful attempts with thunderous bombs, the Song army employs oil and crossbow fire to set the siege hammer ablaze, forcing the Jin soldiers to retreat. The battle concludes with significant casualties on both sides, and the Jin army decides to encircle the city instead of continuing direct assaults.
