1009.Battle of Fuzhou (Part II)

They looked nervous, but their eyes were determined.

In the sky, several hot air balloons of the Yuan army that broke through the defense line turned into fire balls one after another.

After all, they didn't break the city easily.

Nearly a hundred soldiers gathered in the urn above the city gate, constantly throwing down thunder. This made the Yuan army that went forward and succeeded one after another to be annihilated in the smoke and dust.

Mo said that he was an ordinary soldier, he was a master of the True Martial Realm, and he was afraid that he would not be able to break through through the city gate at this moment.

In just ten minutes, no Yuan army dared to attack the city gate.

The Song army's defenses were more tenacious than they could have imagined.

It stands to reason that as heavy as Changle County, with few guards in the city, the resistance of the Song army on the outer city wall should not be so resolute.

But Song Jun resisted so willingly.

Are they planning to defend the outer city?

In this way, when the outer city is destroyed, the inner city and self-city of Changle County will not be easily taken?

The Yuan army spread under the southern walls of Changle County (Fuzhou City), which was several miles long, trying to find a breakthrough. But under the bombardment of thunder, it was slow to break the city.

There are scouts who will return this military information to Ashu'er in time with the Chinese army.

After listening to this, Ah Shu couldn't help frowning slightly, looking at the city in the distance.

Along the south city wall of Changle County, there is only a single city gate of Shunchang Gate, and there is an urn city to assist in defense. He didn't expect that the army would not be able to break through the walls until now.

How many defenders did the Song army arrange at the head of the city?

The general Bagen said from the side: "Marshal, are we trying from the rest of the city walls?" ”

Ah Shu shook his head slightly: "No." In order to break the city, only by concentrating troops can the losses be minimized. ”

He looked at the flames that exploded under the city from a distance, "Wait a little longer, with such a sharp weapon as the thunderstorm, it is impossible for this Changle County City to withstand it for a long time." ”

He knew how many troops there were in Changle County now.

Mo said that it was impossible for the Song army to concentrate all its forces on the southern city wall, and even if it did, he also believed that the army would definitely be able to blow up a gap under the city wall.

And it only takes a few openings to blow up, and then the army will break the city.

The southern wall of Changle County was nearly three kilometers long, and he did not believe that the Song army at the head of the city could defend it without leakage.

It was only a matter of time before the army broke through the city.

"The marshal is wise."

When Bagan heard Ah Shu say this, he said no more. The war horse suddenly snorted twice, and seemed to be a little restless.

He may have felt the murderous aura of his master on his back.

The fighting continues.

The defenders of Fuzhou at the head of the city are far from densely packed, but fortunately, there are many people helping at the head of the city, and it seems that there are people everywhere.

People with different expressions and countenances were running around the city walls.

Only a few of them dared to go to the edge of the city wall to throw mines, and most of them were in the trenches of the city wall to help transport thunder, fire oil, stones, arrows, etc.

This is already a huge help.

The soldiers of the Fuzhou garrison were able to concentrate on meeting the enemy at the edge of the city wall.

If it weren't for this, the Yuan army would have already broken the city. After all, on average, the wall that each soldier needs to defend is nearly two meters long.

And that's not all.

No general would have evenly distributed his forces on the head of the city. In ancient times, wars could not be offensive and defensive, but would have heavy breakthrough points and defense points.

In terms of cities, the gates are of course the weakest point. Therefore, Huang Hua also has the largest number of troops in this city gate urn city.

At this time, there were nearly 200 soldiers in the urn city alone. One can imagine how sparse the rest of the city wall was.

Fortunately, the Yuan army did use the city gate as the main breakthrough, and he was wise with his arrangement.

Dozens of minutes passed.

After paying a heavy loss, the more than 200 hot air balloons of the Yuan army finally slowly retreated to the back.

It's not that they don't dare to continue fighting, but at this moment, the city wall has been completely blown up. Their cover mission was accomplished.

About 200 meters away from the west side of Shunchang Gate, the foundation of the wall several meters wide was simply blown through by the Yuan army with thunder.

Rubble collapses.

The walls shook.

A Song sergeant exclaimed: "The city wall has been blown up!" The walls were blown open! ”

While shouting, he ran to the place where the gap appeared, and threw a thunderbolt below.

Several Yuan troops were full of excitement and wanted to enter the city, but they were annihilated by the thunder in the blink of an eye.

"Kill!"

Only around, some Yuan troops saw the explosion and rushed here.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Song army and the people also gathered here.

Someone held a dragon gun and shot downward.

There are also people who throw thunder down.

In a short period of time, there were dozens of corpses of the Yuan army lying inside and outside the gap.

And they were under the city, just shooting the Song army at the head of the city with arrows, it was difficult to get any results.

From the beginning of the siege to the present, the soldiers of the Song army were really shot by the Yuan army under the city, which was almost negligible.

Most of the soldiers who died in battle were killed by the thunderbolts thrown by the Yuan army's artillery trucks.

But in total, it is estimated that there are only two or three hundred people. And that's counting the wounded.

That's the benefit of defending the city.

Especially when the Song army has an advantage in equipment, it can give full play to the advantage of defending the city.

The next one is to cut down the soldiers.

In ancient warfare, forcible siege was often referred to as the most undesirable method.

Only Ah Shu knew this, but he was helpless.

He knew that there would be reinforcements from the Song State converging towards Fuzhou City, and he didn't have much time to take other methods to break the city, so he could only use this simplest and most brutal way.

And for example, the original New Song Dynasty and Dali Army are actually almost the same.

The current Great Song Dynasty is no longer the Great Song Dynasty of the past, the upper and lower levels are concentric, and the domestic military and civilian cohesion is extremely heavy. If you want to destroy the Song Dynasty, it is only possible to break through the momentum.

As long as the Song army was given enough time, it would be impossible for them to destroy the Great Song Kingdom.

Of course, what Duan Qilin and the others didn't expect was that Rao was they attacked Song quickly, but in the end they ended up defeated.

They underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Forbidden Army. Even if hundreds of thousands of troops are raised, they can't withstand attrition at all.

As a scout reported the news of the explosion to Ashu, Ashu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Then under his order, there were two more Yuan army formations coming towards the city of Changle County.

At this time, the southern city wall of Changle County had been blown out of as many as five gaps. Moreover, there are still Yuan troops outside the city who are constantly bombing the city walls with thunder.

Gao Tianzong, Che Hongyu and others divided into several shares and had already left from the city gate, respectively to block the gap. There were only more than 100 soldiers in the city gate.

In each gap, there were dozens of soldiers of the defenders of Fuzhou City. They either held dragon guns, or bows and arrows, and shot the Yuan troops pouring in outside the gap to the ground.

Because for the time being, the Yuan army was still able to break through to the city, but those people and righteous people did not come forward to fight.

But it is conceivable that as there are more openings in the city wall, they will inevitably need to face the Yuan army.

The sound of gunfire at the southern city wall of Changle County seems to have no time to stop.

"Here ......

Huang Hua watched the movement of the Yuan army at the head of the city, the dust was in the sky, and two words were gently spit out from his mouth.

The Yuan army sent troops to attack the city at such a time, obviously intending to break through the city wall.

Suddenly, he lifted his binoculars and looked east. Then he swept through the city.

Of course, he knew that with the strength of Changle County at this time, it was much easier to defend the inner city than the outer city. After all, the inner city is much smaller than the outer city.

But he couldn't.

Because in the outer city of Changle County, there are countless Fuzhou people......

Their homes, their possessions, are in this outer city.

If he Huang Hua does not guard the outer city, it is equivalent to abandoning all the people living in the outer city.

He can't do such a thing, and he can't ...... Don't dare to do it.

Therefore, unless the outer city is really unable to resist, he will never lead his soldiers to retreat to the inner city.

And now, it seems that it is a critical moment whether the outer city can hold it.

If it can withstand the offensive of this wave of Yuan troops, the outer city can hold on for some time. If it can't be stopped, then this outer city will change hands.

In the distance to the east of the city wall, more than a thousand soldiers are rushing towards here.

Huang Hua saw that the Yuan army really wanted to use the southern city wall as a breakthrough, and it was also open to the outside world, and it was necessary to defend the southern city wall as much as possible.

The four city walls in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Changle County, with thousands of guards, were almost all transferred by him. On the remaining three city walls, there are only a few hundred guards left.
