At the same time, outside the city of Wuzhou, there was also a large army attacking the city. However, it was the Yuan army that attacked the city, and it was the Song army that defended the city.

Dozens of troops of the Yuan army marched forward in a mighty formation, and the horns in the army continued to sound. The leader of the generals was covered in silver armor, standing on top of the chariot, holding a spear, and his face was full of solemnity.

This person is not Boyan, the marshal of the Yuan army's expedition to the Song capital, but Kong Yuan, the vanguard general of the Song Dynasty who worships General Wuyi.

Kong Yuanzi Yanheng, born in Xingyan Village, Xinhe County, learned martial arts since childhood, was slightly extraordinary, at the age of 17, he was called into the Yuan Army as a pawn, and then went out with the army, repeatedly made military exploits, and was awarded the general commander of the army.

In the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was massively attacked, Boyan was the marshal of the capital, Kong Yuan was the vanguard, promoted to the general of Wuyi, marched into the south of the Yangtze River, and now is stationed on the Guangnan East Road.

In the entire territory of Guangnan East Road, only a few civilian rebels are still resisting, and even the city of Guangzhou, which was previously captured by the commander Ling Zhen and the transfer judge Wang Daofu, has been recaptured by the Yuan army. Ling Zhen and Wang Daofu became guerrillas, and they could only fight the Yuan army in the territory of Guangnan East Road, which was difficult to become a general trend.

When this happened, Zhang Shijie, who was in Leizhou, was so shocked that he was covered in a cold sweat, and he was afraid, but he admired Zhao Dongting's actions of sticking to Jiezhou. At that time, if you really listened to him and led the crowd to Yashan, I am afraid that after the city of Guangzhou was broken, the Southern Song Dynasty would have been annihilated by the Yuan army in Yashan like in the history books.

Zhao Dongting insisted on not going to Yashan, which can be said to have escaped death.

As the commander of the Song Dynasty, Boyan led the Chinese army of 250,000 to Guangdong, and only needed a little force to deal with the civilian rebel army at this time. After receiving Ali Hague's letter of request for help, Dang even sent Kong Yuan, a Han general who can fight well, to take Wuzhou and rush to Ali Hague.

For example, Kong Yuan, a Han man born in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, was not a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, and was not discriminated against in the Yuan court.

Although Kong Yuan was not a Han Chinese, he was also loyal to the Yuan court.

When he led the army to a few hundred meters in front of Dewuzhou City, he raised his gun and shouted to the three armies, "Stop!" ”

The dozens of army formations of the Yuan army slowly stopped, and the killing aura soared into the sky.

They were in a formation of 1,000 people, and if we looked at it roughly, I was afraid that there were 60,000 or 70,000 people, horses and infantry troops.

Kong Yuan was born tall and thin, but his eyes were extremely aggressive, with the wildness of a general. His eyes slowly swept over the towering Wuzhou city wall, as well as the steep defensive walls of the mountains below on both sides, his eyes showed a little understanding, and then ordered: "The army takes turns to attack the city, you don't need to care about the cottages on both sides, just take the city gate." Then order the water army to attack the Song army's water village at the same time, not to break the village, just to contain their forces. ”

"Obey!"

Several heralds waiting beside the chariot led the way.

Kong Yuan's eyes looked at the city again.

Judging from the layout of the mountain and water village, the Song generals who defend the city have some skills. But Kong Yuan felt that he was still a hundred secrets, the Song army was only 10,000 people, and the Yuan army only needed to break the city gate, and Wuzhou would be lost. This cottage and water village seem to be useful, but in fact, except for being able to annihilate some more Yuan troops, it is useless, and as soon as the city gate is broken, it will be reduced to decoration.

As for the towering walls, they are even more useless.

Kong Yuan marched from Guangzhou to Wuzhou, and the army did not carry much siege equipment at all, not even catapults and arrow towers, but only with siege rams and a small number of ladders.

He had long known the situation in Wuzhou, and had already made up his mind to take the city gate directly, so that although the casualties would be greater, it was also the fastest way to break the city.

The city gate is bound to be the most heavily defended place of the Song army, but at the same time, it is also a weakness. Choose its just place and attack it, and break the strong with the strong, and the Yuan army will win.

At the head of the city, Qin Han and Wan Yanzhang stood on the edge of the wall. Qin Han still looked indifferent, while Wan Yanzhang was a little dignified, "Military Division, the Yuan army is so powerful, several times or even ten times that of our army, can we really stop them?" ”

Qin Han replied, "Wuzhou City, but it's a heroic city......"

But what he said is right, the city wall of Wuzhou City is so high that even Jingjiang Mansion, the capital of Guangxi, cannot be compared. After all, this is an important place for soldiers, and countless dynasties throughout the ages have not known how many times they have raised and widened the city walls.

Wan Yanzhang frowned, "Wuzhou is majestic, but our army is so scattered, you even sent four thousand to guard the water village, and two thousand each to guard the cottage, there are less than two thousand people at the main city gate, that is, with the help of the people, you can stop the Yuan army?" ”

Qin Han just shook his head, but he didn't speak.

Wan Yanzhang's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, but he was helpless. He really couldn't guess Qin Han's intentions.

And just after more than ten minutes, he turned his head to look at Qin Han, and his eyes were full of admiration.

The five military formations in the front row of the Yuan army marched towards the head of the city, shouting and shouting, but there were no other siege equipment in the army except for the siege vehicles.

Wan Yanzhang exclaimed: "How did the military advisor know that they would take the city gate directly? ”

Qin Han only said: "The situation in Ali Hague is critical, Boyan is bound to urgently break the city in order to save him, and the Yuan army does not have so much effort to carry siege equipment, delay the speed of the march, and have no time to consume us." If you were the commander of the Yuan army, would you choose to break the city along the route of the army, or would you choose to concentrate your forces to capture the city gates? ”

Wan Yanzhang groaned slightly, and said: "The avenue in front of the city is only more than 100 meters wide, and the army cannot be expanded. ”

Qin Han nodded and stopped talking.

Wan Yanzhang looked at the cottages on the left and right, and then at the Yuan army on the avenue in front of the city, grinned, and shouted: "Prepare to resist the enemy!" ”

The Song soldiers on the city wall hurriedly moved the stones to the catapults, and the archers and crossbow carts were also busy putting the arrows on the Xuan, ready to go.

The five army formations of the Yuan army numbered about 5,000 people to 500 meters in front of the city, and they did not rush to the head of the city. Among them, there was an army array in the forefront, and the army shook rapidly, and the figures of the soldiers swayed, and soon changed the phalanx into a sharp arrow formation, and took the lead in attacking the city gate. The four armies in the rear were connected end to end, shaped like long snakes, and followed closely.

Arrow array, as the name suggests, is a formation shaped like an arrow.

The front soldiers have the most soldiers, in the shape of a diamond, pushing siege vehicles and attacking the city gate. The soldiers at the back are considered substitutes, ready to fill the vacancies in front at any time.

In other words, this entire formation is centered on that huge siege vehicle. Including the four armies in the back, too.

As long as the siege vehicles are still there, the Yuan army will be able to have a steady stream of soldiers to fill it and constantly crash into the city wall.

And they put out a long snake formation, squeezed in the middle of the road within more than 30 meters, and can make the cottage whips on both sides of Wuzhou City beyond the reach of the whip, can only attack with catapults and crossbow carts, that is, archers, I am afraid that they will not be able to shoot in the middle of the army, and the lethality is weakened to a minimum.

Wan Yanzhang saw this scene in the city, and secretly cursed in his heart.

Even Qin Han muttered, "This Yuan army commander has some skills......

They did not have grenadiers or thunderbolts in their army, so it was really a bit difficult to deal with this formation. If Zhao Dongting's army was here, the situation would be different, if there were enough shells, a single cannonball would pour down, and no matter what kind of fart formation his Yuan army put up, it would have to be blown into scum.

"Put!"

When the Yuan army was only about 400 meters away from the city gate, Wan Yanzhang raised his mace and shouted loudly.

The flag soldier next to him waved the yellow flag and pressed it forward.

On the Wuzhou city wall of more than 100 meters between the two mountains, dozens of catapults shook at the same time, and dozens of huge stone bullets were projected and landed in the Yuan army array.

However, catapults are a sharp weapon when attacking a city, but when defending a city, their power inevitably seems a little thin.

If the stone bullet falls, it can kill several Yuan troops at most, or even only one or two, and the lethality is too small.

Wan Yanzhang also sighed in his heart, but there was no way. The Yuan army was overwhelming, and he could only use any method that could consume the Yuan army.

In the middle of the Yuan army, there was a sudden sound of drums.

After only a few rounds of stone bullets, the Yuan army at the front had already run to a distance of only more than two hundred meters from the city wall.

"Crossbow!"

Wan Yan Zhanggu glared and shouted again.

The flag soldier raised the red flag again and waved it forward.

The sound of whizzing through the air was endless, and from the crossbow bases all over the city wall, rows of arrows were fired in unison towards the Yuan army array under the city.

There were people in the Yuan army who kept screaming, and there were also soldiers pushing siege vehicles who fell to the ground with arrows. However, someone will make up for it in the future.

Siege engines are always pushed towards the gates at breakneck speed.

The Song army had no more than five hundred crossbowmen, and they were all single-shot crossbows, which could not stop the pace of the Yuan army.

It wasn't until the Yuan army under the city was only 100 meters away from the city wall that arrows suddenly fell on the city, and the Yuan army was finally hit head-on.

Under Qin Han's arrangement, although there were only 2,000 soldiers stationed on the city wall, there were still thousands of people who volunteered. In this era, there are countless people who can fist and kick arrows, although these people are not as good as soldiers, but they still have basic accuracy.

For a time, there were thousands of arrows on the head of the city that fell into the Yuan army's array at the same time.

The front of the Yuan army was no more than a thousand soldiers, and under this round of arrows, excluding the shield soldiers, it can be said that there were countless casualties, and even the rear army formation suffered a lot of losses.

However, the drumming of the military department in the Yuan army did not stop.

When another wave of arrows fell, five more military formations rushed towards the city gate.

Kong Yuan completely planned to use his life to break through the gate of Wuzhou.
