1162.Battle of Tongchuan Prefecture (II)
In the case of the cupola cannon firing in unison, the Tongchuan Hot Air Balloon Army quickly fell into a disadvantage.
After several rounds of artillery fire, it is not said how much their hot air balloon has been damaged, but the situation has been suppressed.
The hot air balloons in the Great Song and Western Xia armies also changed.
The Monkey Army, which was like a sword, continued to press forward like a divine help, with the support of the cupola cannon.
And the hot air balloons of the Great Song Forbidden Army scattered around.
They began to clear the way for the robe on the ground.
The defenders of Tongchuan Province who had stepped out of their bunkers or tunnels were now exposed to them, and they were the target of their bombing.
And this naturally made the pressure on the defenders of Tongchuan Mansion on the ground even greater.
They were dealing with attacks from the air and the ground at the same time, and they had nothing to do with the hot air balloons in the air.
In addition to complaining a few words in my heart that my hot air balloon is really useless, it is really only a part of being bombed.
Many of the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture could not withstand such bombardment, and ran back to their bunkers or tunnels.
This alone has reduced the pressure of the Great Song Forbidden Army on the ground a lot, and the momentum of rushing and killing is even worse.
Some soldiers went outside the city one after another to report the situation in the city to Yue Peng and others.
The Great Song Dynasty forbidden army had an elite into the city.
Under Yue Peng's order, the infantry of the three armies of Tiankui, Tianyong, and Tianmeng were all dispatched.
Although the real infantry of each army is only four regiments, the total number of people is only more than 10,000. But this kind of power has a great impact on the city.
After all, it is impossible for the Tongchuan army to swarm up.
They occupy the city, and they must have arranged a line of defense. Although there were 90,000 soldiers, the number of those who were ambushed at the front of the city wall was estimated to be less than 20,000.
Of course, it is not that the deputy palace master of Guigu cannot transfer the army behind to the front to reinforce.
It's just that since he hasn't moved yet, he obviously doesn't have such a plan.
Even if there is a transfer, it must be carried out in the tunnel. These are not visible to the soldiers of the Song army.
It is impossible for the deputy palace master of Guigu, Chi Fenggu and others to let the soldiers show up on the streets when the air supremacy was gradually occupied by the Western Xia and Great Song hot air balloons.
The fighting in the city is even more intense.
As the rest of the infantry corps of the Great Song Forbidden Army poured into the city, a radius of several hundred meters inside the city was quickly occupied by the Great Song Forbidden Army.
The defenders of Tongchuan Mansion who hid in the bunker and did not dare to show their heads were all surrounded and annihilated.
Only the Great Song Forbidden Army wanted to break through those tunnels, but it was not an easy task.
The deputy palace master of Guigu and others arranged heavy troops at the entrance of the tunnel.
These soldiers are all resisted by thunder, and their lethality is by no means low.
Gradually, corpses littered the city.
The smell of blood spread through the air with the smoke of gunpowder.
However, there was never a clash of swords between the two armies.
It seems that after Zhao Dongting invented many hot weapons, cold weapons have gradually been beaten into the cold palace.
Take the Great Song Forbidden Army as an example, unless it is an iron horse, or it kills to the point of running out of ammunition and food, it basically will not rely on swords and guns.
The dragon gun is much more powerful than the sword and gun.
That is, Zhao Dongting has not yet popularized the Divine Dragon Gun to every soldier in the army, otherwise, it will be close to modern warfare.
The advantage of using a modern army to deal with a cold-armed army can be imagined.
This fight did not end until noon.
After nearly two hours of fighting, nearly half of the Beicheng District of Tongchuan Prefecture was taken by the Great Song Forbidden Army.
The hot air balloons of the defenders of Tongchuan Province continued to retreat backwards, suffering heavy losses.
The morale of the defenders gradually declined.
Although they still have a lot of soldiers, they are afraid that no one is afraid of whether they can hold Tongchuan Mansion, and they are not at all sure.
The fight ended first by the Great Song Forbidden Army.
At this time, Yue Peng led the iron cavalry outside the city to the city, and let the soldiers sing gold in the city.
He didn't want the soldiers to fight so tiredly any longer.
Tongchuan Mansion, he is bound to win. There is no hurry to wipe out all the defenders of Tongchuan Mansion in the city immediately.
Because he was not afraid that the Tongchuan army would be able to run out of the city.
A hot air balloon in the air is not an ornament.
If the Tongchuan Mansion army withdrew from the city, it would be more in line with his Yue Peng's wishes.
When the time comes, the bombing will be carried out by hot air balloons, and these soldiers of the New Song Dynasty and Dali in Tongchuan Mansion will be completely defeated.
Just inside the city, the Great Song Forbidden Army and the Western Xia Army began to make rice.
Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian were both invited to the courtyard where Yue Peng temporarily stopped.
When the two of them saw Yue Peng, their faces were a little complicated.
They knew that the Great Song Forbidden Army was strong, but they really didn't expect it to be so strong.
The 90,000 defenders in Tongchuan Mansion could not resist the offensive of the Great Song Forbidden Army.
They originally thought that Yue Peng would eventually let their Western Xia army help, but now that they look at it, it is naturally not possible.
There are still more than half of the soldiers in the Great Song Forbidden Army who have not moved.
In addition to the light and heavy cavalry that could destroy the iron cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty head-on, there were also rumored special regiments that were much more powerful than the ordinary forbidden army, but they were not dispatched.
The two of them couldn't stop thinking about whether the defenders of Tongchuan Mansion could form an effective resistance if all the forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty were pressed up.
Perhaps, the two of them will really be reduced to watching a drama this time.
As soon as he arrived at the house, Yue Peng smiled at the two of them: "Yue Mou thanked General Helian and General Qu for their help." ”
There was no alcohol in the army, he just picked up the teaglass.
Qu Rujian and Helian Cheng smiled, but they were a little weird.
Except for the Qi Tianjun who was like a sword, they really didn't help much. Not even a flag waver.
Then Helian Cheng said: "Marshal Yue is polite, our Western Xia Forbidden Army has not been of much use until now. ”
Yue Peng got up and sat the two of them down, and said with a smile: "After all, the New Song Dynasty has two roads, Chengdu Mansion and Tongchuan Mansion, and even if this Tongchuan Mansion City is broken, there will inevitably be troops in the New Song Dynasty who will resist us." When the time comes, the two generals will have to bother General Helian and Qu Rujian to really help. Moreover, this Tongchuan Mansion alone also has to bother the two generals to contribute. ”
Saying that, he looked at Qu Rujian, "General Qu's Qi Tianjun is really powerful, which opened Yue's eyes." ”
Qu Rujian arched his hand, "Marshal Yue praised it falsely, Qu knew that the Qi Heavenly Army was still much worse than your country's Flying Heavenly Army." ”
This is not self-humility, but what he says from the heart.
Even though he had never seen the Flying Army, he could think of how elite the Flying Army would be from these Great Song Forbidden Army.
It is true that there are thunderstorms and hot air balloons in his Qi Tian army.
However, the rest of the equipment is far from being comparable to the Flying Army.
Although the air armor and the divine dragon gun are not of great use, Qu Rujian thinks that there must also be a cupola cannon in the Flying Army.
And the cupola gunners in the Great Song Forbidden Army on the city wall just now can be said to have opened his eyes.
He asked himself, if his Monkey Sky Army encountered such a sky-rushing artillery regiment, it would inevitably only be destroyed.
After a few words of greeting, Yue Peng brought the topic back to the topic, and said: "At present, the defenders of Tongchuan Mansion are gradually withdrawing into the city, and they are ambushing everywhere in this city, so that our Great Song Forbidden Army has also paid a lot of losses. Yue wanted to ask the two army commanders to wait for the next large-scale attack, and lead the soldiers to go around the depths of the city from both flanks, and form a situation of flanking on both sides with the defenders of Tongchuan Mansion of our army. I wonder if the two generals are willing? ”
Helian Cheng groaned slightly when he heard this, "Marshal Yue has a word, Helian Cheng should do his best to help." It's just that...... Will the defenders of this city be prepared for it? ”
He had a little embarrassment on his face, "If they had been prepared for it, our Western Xia Forbidden Army would not have such a sharp weapon as the Divine Dragon Gun, and it might not be too smooth." ”
What kind of strength the forbidden army of Western Xia has, he knows in his heart.
It is not easy for the New Song Army and Dali Army in Tongchuan Mansion to block the Great Song Forbidden Army, but compared to their Western Xia Army, it will never be weaker, and it should even be stronger.
After all, the weakness of the Western Xia army did not happen overnight. For decades, the Western Xia army was known for not being able to fight.
After the Emperor Zongnu ascended the throne, she mostly followed the methods of the Great Song Dynasty to govern the army, but until now, the results have not been particularly significant.
Yue Peng chuckled when he heard this, "General Helian don't worry. Since Yue has made it clear that the battle to destroy the New Song Dynasty this time, your country's forbidden army is only as an aid, so he will not let your country's forbidden army gnaw those hard bones. When attacking again, Yue will let the special regiment in the army rush before your army to make a way for your army to kill. ”
Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian were moved.
After looking at each other, Helian Cheng said: "In this way, Helian Cheng is relieved." ”
He was even a little looking forward to it.
Because he also wanted to see up close, how powerful the special regiment in the Great Song Forbidden Army was.
