Lipu County.
Time rewinds back to the early morning when the Song army attacked the city.
Although Lipu County is Wangxian County, its strategic position is naturally far from being compared with Wuzhou City, and the city wall is far from Wuzhou regardless of height and thickness, and it is far from the majestic atmosphere of Wuzhou.
Tens of thousands of Song troops came to the city, but they did not immediately attack the city.
Only a few hundred cavalry suddenly rushed out of the middle formation, and then split into three groups, one forward, and the other two headed towards the north of Lipu County.
At the head of the city, Ali Hague personally sat in charge, but he couldn't figure out what Song Jun wanted to do.
The smoke and dust were billowing until the three groups of cavalry reached the eastern, western, and northern city walls hundreds of meters away, and then a cavalry suddenly dismounted, knelt on the ground and began to set up the dragon cannon, and Ali Hague finally understood.
Song Jun is going to blow up the city gate!
If the city gates on three sides are blown open, with the current morale of the army in the city, I don't know what kind of chaos will happen.
Compared with Kong Yuan, Zhao Dongting has such sharp weapons as grenadiers, and the siege is obviously much more handy. It is a little pity that there were not enough shells.
Ali Hague's face changed slightly, and he said: "Order, quickly send cavalry out of the city and kill these Song troops!" ”
Some generals hurriedly took the order and left.
In just a few minutes, the east gate of Lipu County, which was facing the Song army, suddenly opened, and then hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the city to kill the flying dragon soldiers who were setting up grenadiers.
Immediately afterwards, the gates of the city on the west and north sides were also opened one after another, and some generals led the cavalry out of the city.
But they are undoubtedly slow.
How long does it take to set up a grenadier?
The cavalry of the Yuan army rushing out at the east gate had just rushed onto the suspension bridge, and several grenadiers were already ringing, and some shells rushed out and boring out.
The Yuan army had seen the power of this thing, and the soldiers at the head of the city hurriedly avoided it, and even Ali Hague couldn't help but retreat.
He looked at the cannonball as if it was coming straight at him.
Boom.
The walls were filled with dust and smoke, and rocks were scattered.
Naturally, this shell missed.
Zhao Dongting's order to these flying dragon soldiers was to let them break through the city gates.
Zhao Da sat on the horse, holding a spear, and when he saw that the cannon was missed, he was a little anxious, "It's missed!" Missed! ”
The soldier in charge of firing the cannon scratched his head, did not dare to return the mouth, and lowered his head to tinker with the grenadier and readjust the trajectory. It's cool to use the dragon cannon, and there is often no danger, but the pressure is also great. For example, in this case, if the cannonballs run out and can't hit the city gate, he will have to be whipped by Zhao Da when he goes back.
And the Yuan army, who had just rushed out of the city, was shocked when they saw the movement above their heads, and they couldn't help but jerk their horses and rushed towards the flying dragon soldiers at a faster speed.
One shot will blow a hole in the city wall, and let them fire a few more cannons, so what's the point?
Zhao Da watched the cavalry of the Yuan army rushing towards him, and raised his spear higher, "Brothers, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
However, there was not much solemnity on his face.
The Flying Dragon soldiers are the elite of the Song army, although there are only two hundred people following Zhao Da at the moment, but the hundreds of cavalry have not been taken into account by them. After experiencing such devilish training in Leizhou, if they can't even deal with this bit of cavalry, it will be in vain to blind the word "flying dragon".
When the Yuan army was about 100 meters away from them, there was another cannon fire.
The grenadier was again ejected from the barrel.
However, the shell still did not hit the city gate, but fell on the city gate.
At the head of the city, the Yuan army rubbed shoulders, and more than ten soldiers were blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, falling down the city and falling into the moat.
Ali Hague was only about ten meters away from the place where the shell exploded, and looking at the crater on the city wall, he only felt a cold sweat on his back. He boasts that his martial arts are not bad, but no matter how good his martial arts are, it is useless to encounter such a sharp weapon. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had just deliberately stood farther away and did not stand on the head of the main city again.
Outside the city, Zhao Da was reprimanding the soldier who fired the artillery, "Why can't you hit so close?" ”
The soldier's face was full of grievances, "General, it's just that the distance is too close, and the cannonballs are falling too high!" ”
Zhao Da waved his hand, "Get behind and fight!" There are only four shells in total, and if you miss them all, wait and see how Lao Tzu cleans you up. ”
The soldier shrugged, carried the grenadier, and ran behind with a few men.
The military discipline in the Flying Dragon Army was strict, even harsh, and he knew that Zhao Da was not joking. If all four cannons fail, he will really have to clean up.
Zhao Da sighed heavily, then raised his spear and rushed towards the Yuan cavalry, which was only a few tens of meters away, "Kill!" ”
He had to buy time for the soldier who fired the cannon.
At this time, at the north gate and west gate of Lipu County, there was finally a cannon sound.
At the north gate, Zhao Hu was in charge, and the soldier he brought who was in charge of firing the cannon seemed to be more clever and knew more about grenadiers. When he was still about 650 meters away from the city, he asked Zhao Hu to stop advancing, then turned over and dismounted and put his finger in front of him, roughly estimated the distance to the city gate, and began to set up cannons.
At this time, perhaps favored by Lady Luck, he was bombarded at the city gate with one shot.
All I saw was dust, and then the two gates collapsed one after another.
Zhao Hu laughed, and ignored the cavalry of the Yuan army who rushed over, and only said: "Hurry up and get on the horse!" Let's withdraw! ”
Then, before the cavalry of the Yuan army rushed closer, they galloped away to the east gate again.
The cavalry of the Yuan army who rushed out of the city was dumbfounded, looked at the city gate that had collapsed behind them, and their faces were full of earth, and they did not dare to chase them, so they had to slip back to the city again.
At the west gate, the situation is similar to that at the east gate.
The soldier in charge of firing the cannon did not hit the city gate with his first shot, but landed more than ten meters away from the city gate.
The commander of the army was a centurion of the Flying Dragon Army, and when he saw this scene, he just didn't scold this soldier for blood.
The soldier's face turned red, and he was so embarrassed that he hurriedly re-aimed.
The centurion led the rest of the men to kill the cavalry of the Yuan army who rushed out of the city, leaving only a dozen people to guard the soldiers who fired the cannons.
Soldier to soldier, general to general, the cavalry of the east gate and the west gate fought in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Da held a spear in his hand, and was the first to engage the cavalry of the Yuan army, rushed to the middle of the formation, and the spear stabbed continuously, and the two Yuan army stabs fell off their horses.
His kung fu is far from Murong Chuan, Le Wufu and other levels, but among ordinary soldiers, he can definitely be regarded as a master, a master, a master, a master.
In terms of martial arts alone, even Yue Peng is not completely sure that he can beat Zhao Da and Zhao Hu brothers. If the two brothers join forces, they will be defeated.
And the flying dragon soldiers who collided head-on with the Yuan army immediately afterwards were also fierce dragons and tigers, and the blades in their hands danced dazzlingly.
When the two armies staggered, the Yuan army was dumbfounded, and Ali Hague, who was watching from the top of the city, was also dumbfounded.
Hundreds of cavalry of the Yuan army went out of the city, and the number was far more than that of the flying dragon soldiers, but at this time, almost all of them were lying on the ground with the Yuan soldiers. The number of losses of the Wyvern soldiers is almost negligible, and I am afraid that there are only a few people.
"Could it be that this is an offering in the Song army?" Ali Hague couldn't help but think so.
In his opinion, only those good players recruited from the rivers and lakes can have such skills.
When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly ordered, "Send another five hundred cavalry out of the city to help!" ”
Others hurried away.
But before the man could run down the wall, another cannon rang out.
The city gate that had not yet been closed was instantly collapsed in the explosion, stirring up countless flying dust, and several of the defending Yuan troops were killed, as if the city head shook a few times.
Zhao Da looked back and saw this scene, and laughed like Zhao Hu, with an ugly face like a chrysanthemum about to wither, "Brothers, kill back!" ”
The flying dragon soldiers shouted loudly, raised their blades, and galloped forward, "Kill!" ”
When they and the cavalry of the Yuan army staggered again, hundreds of corpses of the Yuan army were left on the yellow earth.
Zhao Da led the flying dragon soldiers not to look back, and ran straight to the military formation.
This made Ali Hague's face red with anger, his eyes narrowed into lines, and he ordered: "Let the cavalry return to the city and repair the city gate quickly!" ”
In fact, he could have bricked the city gate to death, but he didn't dare, because he still had the mind of leading the army out of the city when the Song army broke the city.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise rang out at the west gate.
Ali Hague couldn't see how the West City Gate was, but within a few minutes, he saw a group of Song cavalry coming in the direction of the East Gate from a distance.
This made him tremble with anger.
Don't think about it, the West City Gate must have been bombarded by the ghost thing of the Song Army, otherwise, the Song Army would definitely not stop there.
After leading troops to fight for so many years, except for the Battle of Pingnan, Ali Hague has never felt so embarrassed. He even doubted whether he was killed by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, when he attacked the Song army in the past, he was always invincible, but when the little emperor of the Song Dynasty went out, he became defeated in successive battles.
In the final analysis, it's still Song Jun's powerful ghost thing!
The range is long, the power is great, and three city gates were broken before the official siege. This was unthinkable before.
At this time, Ali Hague's heart couldn't help but feel a little afraid. With such a sharp weapon, maybe the Song army can really survive and restore the country again?
But before he could think about it carefully, the drums were already ringing in the Song Army.
