1098. Chapter 1098: Before the End
Yue Fei thought that the war over the years had been due to the frequent large-scale southward movement of the Jin army, but in fact, both sides were confined to a corner and engaged in a melee between the horse and infantry armies.
Whether it was the Battle of Hebei or the Huaishang War in which he participated, the Jin army attacked the city or crossed the river, and it was inevitable that the Song army would be fighting, and the Song army could also give full play to its strengths, relying on the strong city to coordinate resistance and achieve a series of brilliant results.
Even if the Ma army moved quickly, the Song army could find a strong fortress to resist, which was completely different from the environment of the Gobi battlefield in Hexi.
As Wang Xiu said, what should I do if I take the two rivers and Yanshan? When your troops are on the offensive and facing the horse army on the plains? He broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Che soldier? ”
"Li Shifu is familiar with Qiang, but he has a good vision." Zhang Xian was jealous and said, he had already known that he would have been invited into the car brigade, but he didn't see Li Shifu, who became famous in World War I, and the importance of the use of the 52nd Brigade Town was no longer under the military division.
"Okay, people have the true essence of Wang Xianggong, so they can naturally take the lead, we have to fight this battle well, and we can't lose face." Yue Fei is not angry, and he is determined to train an elite army no matter what, and recover Hexi, the Ma army is still the mainstream, and the most important army to be developed in the Great Song Dynasty.
"In three months, we should be able to pull the Hexi Army up." Zhang Xian groaned a little and made his own assertion.
"Three months, this rabble...... Well, even if it can be done in three months, Xingqing will also take it down. Xu Qing shook his head and said, he is not optimistic about the training of the Hexi Army, the Ma Army does not have several years of training, coupled with the tempering of the war, it is difficult to form a strong combat effectiveness.
Zhang Xian naturally understood what Xu Qing meant, the large-scale war was over, what was there to worry about in Hexi? Perhaps, the north and the south will have another bit of a greasy situation, and it will be too boring to bargain and end up being nothing more than a petty fight.
Yue Fei groaned for a while, and said resolutely: "Train the soldiers, give me hard training, I will attack Ganzhou in three months." ”
Feeling Yue Fei's determination and pride, Zhang Xian and Xu Qing looked at each other, and said solemnly: "Yes." ”
In Jingzhou, Gulihei took the initiative and was also in an absolutely passive state, his troops were constantly decreasing, and it was becoming more and more difficult to defend the city.
Feng Yuan finally broke the silence, and twelve heavy stone throwers were arranged in layers, concentrated outside the walls of the southern city, waiting for the attacking troops to enter the position, and with his order, the fire twists were lit one by one.
At the end of the fire twist, on the ruined city wall, a loud noise was heard, and the wall bricks fell one after another, and the defenders on the shaking wall could not stand on their feet.
When the people were in shock, one after another solid stone bullets pierced the void and fell on the walls of the explosion site, and the city wall collapsed in large areas.
It turned out that the teachers and students of Zhongshan Academy, who followed Lin Shilang's arrival, used simple but advanced measuring instruments to accurately locate the city wall, and instructed the officials to sneak into the city at night, dig holes in the walls, and install black medicine bags.
Time was not enough, and the preparation of yellow medicine was too threatening, so he took the safest method, using the method of filling the fern wall with medicine, activating a large amount of black medicine, blowing up the city wall little by little, and then bombarding it with artillery, which always got the effect.
When the black powder explosion shook the city wall, it was difficult to withstand the blow of the artillery, you must know that the bombardment power of the artillery is huge, and the disadvantage is that the accuracy is not high, and it cannot form a continuous damage force, so it can only shoot at will in a large area.
With accurate mapping, the stone thrower was concentrated in a line, and even the tensile force was precisely calculated, and most of the artillery stones fell on the wall, achieving a precise strike, and even the Song soldiers were stunned. One by one, they watched the collapse of the city wall, almost unbelievably real.
The battle reached this point, there was almost no suspense, the city wall collapsed in three places, and without any hesitation, the Song soldiers rushed in.
The bone power is really black, the entire Jingzhou City, after a few days of bloody infighting, has long been weakened, the people's hearts are unstable, the remaining residents in the city live in fear all day long, I wish the Song army hurried in to maintain order, who resolutely resisted, he personally supervised the battle to plug the gap, but where can it be blocked.
The Song army opened the way with heavy infantry, followed by light infantry, dispersed the besieged defenders, and cut open the city gate to enlarge the army into the city.
Feng Yuan spent a day to take away the inner and outer cities of Jingzhou, the Xia army surrendered, and the residents even led the Song army to search for deserters, and more than 100 people fought to the death, and were shot by the Song army's crossbow arrows on the street, and there are not many stories after that.
is also a generation of famous generals, but because of a face problem, he finally went to a dead end, and his fate is like this.
Xingqing, surrounded by the enemy on three sides and backed by Helan Mountain, completely became a lonely city, completely fell into despair, completely did not fight for power and profit, and was shrouded by a bleak gloomy cloud, the people's hearts were panicked, the army's morale was weak, and the morale was unstable.
When Jingzhou was lost, the news of Ren Dejing's death in the battle came, and the Divine Guard Army began to launch a new attack on Gaotai Temple City, Li Renxiao almost fainted, and if Gaotai Temple City was lost, Xingqing would be completely exposed, and there would not even be any room for maneuver.
When he sat alone on the jade steps of the main hall, in a daze with a sad face, the Gang clan quietly came to his side.
"It's all over." Li Renxiao replied weakly, and his tone was full of boring loneliness.
"The Queen Mother took poison and hanged herself." He said softly.
Li Renxiao's face was sad, there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, and tears were rolling in his red eyes.
"The Queen Mother walked peacefully." When he remembered Ren's death, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and tears unconsciously ran down his cheeks.
"That's fine, don't be a captive after all." Li Renxiao said weakly, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, you still have to put state affairs first."
"I don't want to, now that the soldiers are in the city, there is no turning back." Lee In-hyo took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
He and Ren are indeed ambiguous, and the situation is becoming more and more critical, especially Ren Dejing's defeat, entering Jingzhou and holding on behind closed doors, so that the ministers continue to demand surrender, and Ren will also be punished. How could he hurt Ren's heart, in his eyes, Ren was just an understanding little woman, even the queen couldn't compare.
However, as the Qingtian Son of Great Xia, at this critical moment, he must not be cold for a woman, and he must make a choice, although this choice is painful, he must choose decisively, because time is running out for him.
Naturally, he couldn't do it himself, let alone let others do it, and Queen Gang became a suitable candidate.
The Gang looked at Li Renxiao's thin cheeks with resentment, and his heart was secretly sour, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's still ......."
