1022. Ashu is frightened
He was suddenly a little glad that he chose to send troops to help after receiving Zhao Dongting's letter.
If it weren't for that, it would probably be his exile country that would face these firearms in the future.
There is very little affection between countries.
The Great Song Emperor's intention to lay out the Dongsha Islands and build them into a maritime trade hub was already somewhat obvious. The geographical location of the country is 100 times better than that of the Dongsha Islands.
Emperor Ah Xing didn't think that just because of the meeting two years ago, a shallow conversation would make Emperor Da Song give up his ambition to dominate the sea area.
What's more, he actually owed the Great Song Emperor a great favor at the beginning.
Next to Emperor Xing, there is Mo Li, the general of the original Doubei City defenders.
In the past two years, Emperor A Xing has been overthrown, and the forces of the Martial Arts League in China have been swooped, causing the old forces of the Martial Arts League to fight back wildly, and the domestic competition has continued. Mo Li chose to rely on Emperor Ah Xing, and made many military exploits, which also made him the right-hand man in Emperor Ah Xing's army, and the current city lord of Doubei City, which is really the top real power figure in the country.
North Taoyuan, Zhongdou North, South Gong. In the entire Liuqiu country, the real power can be compared with Mori, but there are only a few people.
At this time, he saw Emperor A Xing's eyes staring at the hot air balloon in the air, and said faintly: "Lord, how can the Great Song Dynasty arrange such a heavy force in the Dongsha Islands?" ”
This sentence seems to be a question, but in fact, it is obviously a side knock on Emperor Ah Xing.
When Emperor Xing heard this, he didn't say anything else, only said: "This has nothing to do with us." We were invited by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to help them win this battle. ”
Maury seemed to realize something, nodded slightly, and stopped talking.
In the affairs between the two countries, it is not his turn to point fingers. If you go on any more, it will be a passover.
This is definitely a taboo for powerful ministers. Because the slightest transgression is very likely to arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Every emperor hopes that his courtiers will be able to do things, but at the same time, he never wants his subordinates to think too much. Because you think too much, your ambition will not be small.
In the past, many powerful ministers in the past dynasties ended up disgraced because they failed to accurately measure their proportions.
Although Maury is not very old, he is undoubtedly a person who knows a lot of measure.
After some time, the army finally headed towards the county town of Changle.
A scout galloped in front of the army and shouted, "The army is slowly pressing into Changle County!" ”
The army was commanded by Lu Yingcai, the commander of the Guangzhou Garrison Military Region, and it seemed that Lu Yingcai was obviously not so eager to fight with the Yuan army.
"Prepare to go!"
Emperor Ah Xing raised the long sword in his hand and shouted. His eyes looked at Song Jun on the side.
The officers and men of the Guangzhou Garrison Military Region were the first to set off.
The officers and men of the army marched in long columns, there were no cavalry, all of them were foot soldiers, about 10,000 people.
Flags fluttered in the army.
After that, the defenders of Crescent Island led by Kongzhu and the defenders of Beihuandao led by Liu Ximad were also 5,000 each.
Emperor Ah Xing led the army behind the palace.
Although the uniforms of the non-commissioned officers are different, at this moment the army is flying the banner of the Guangzhou Garrison Military Region.
The army spread for miles.
The Yuan generals such as Bagen, Hob, and Oshier led the Yuan army to run wildly in front.
They are constantly under the bombardment of hot air balloons above them, and there is no need for them to shout at this time, every soldier in the army is using all the strength to feed.
Outside the southern city wall of Changle County, the army hurriedly crossed the moat along the pontoon bridge. Then he hurried to the city in panic.
However, Bagan and the others did not completely lose their proportions, and before entering the city, they still left the soldiers to dismantle the pontoon bridge.
At present, Marshal Ah Shu is leading a large army to attack the inner city, and they can imagine what kind of disaster it will bring to the army if they allow the Song army to enter the city like this.
As long as they stayed here to stop the Song army, it was impossible to do it. The hot air balloon in the sky alone had already caused a lot of confusion in their army.
Inner City West.
Ah Shu remained in the army, quietly watching the soldiers in front of him attack the city.
By now, many of his soldiers had naturally crossed the moat and were attacking the city walls.
Artillery fire continued to explode on the city and on the ground.
The walls were devastated.
However, until now, the Yuan army has still not been able to blow up a gap under the city.
There were not many people at the head of the Song army, which made the resistance of the Deyuan army extraordinarily great. Breaking the inner city will obviously be much more difficult than breaking the outer city.
Some Yuan armies have already launched several waves of offensives.
One after another, scouts ran to Ah Shu to report to him that the siege was unfavorable.
But Ah Shu's expression was always cold, and he just said, "Continue to attack." ”
He was afraid that he expected such a scene.
In my heart, I have been prepared for a long time.
It's just that for some reason, Ah Shu's mind is always a little unstable today. This instability did not come from the Song army in the city.
So he looked south quite frequently.
I don't know if Bagen, Eshier, and Hob have now fought with the Song army.
Can they stop those Song troops?
Ah Shu hoped that his restlessness was just unfounded, and he kept persuading himself in his heart. But this chaotic mood has never dissipated.
This may be some kind of hunch on the part of the veteran.
In the end, he still ordered: "Pass the order, let all the armies come and assemble." ”
There was a general on the side who was puzzled, "Marshal, what are they doing at this time?" Do you think we can't take this Xicheng head? ”
Ah Shu just shook his head and said slowly: "Don't ask more, go and pass on my handsome order!" ”
The general was slightly stunned, so he had to pat his horse and leave.
He really couldn't figure out what Ah Shu's purpose was.
If all the robes surrounding the inner city are transferred, this will only make all the Song troops in the city gather to this western city wall. Wouldn't it be more difficult to storm a city?
Could it be that the marshal was planning to annihilate these Song troops at once?
Only in this way, the casualties paid by the officers and soldiers in the army will be much greater, right?
Obviously, this general did not have the bad premonition of Ah Shu in his heart.
And soon, Ah Shu was moved and glad for his decision.
Heavy fighting is still going on under the city.
When he turned his head to look further south, he saw hundreds of hot air balloons coming towards the inner city in the south.
The blood-red color is clearly Song Jun's hot air balloon.
Even Ah Shu almost flew out of the sky at this moment.
How could Song Jun have a lot of hot air balloons?
How could there be so many hot air balloons in the Guangzhou Garrison Military Region?
What is the situation of the soldiers of Bagen and Osher?
Hundreds of hot air balloons, which is enough to turn the tide of the battle.
It took a long time for Ah Shu to suppress himself, and he was terrified.
At this time, there were already many soldiers who saw the hot air balloon in the air, and they all hurriedly ran over to report to Ah Shu.
Ah Shu said with a calm face: "Quickly assemble the whole army of hot air balloon soldiers!" Be sure to stop these Song troops! ”
He still has to take the entire Changle County.
Because if he can't take this Changle County at this time, when these Song troops arrive, it will be even more difficult for him to take Changle County.
Even, it is very likely that you will not be able to take it.
If the Song army has more than 10,000 reinforcements, plus thousands of soldiers in the city. More than 10,000 people are enough to turn the entire inner city of Changle County into an iron bucket.
There were scouts in the army who rushed towards the rest of the army.
Ah Shu looked at it, but his heart was still uneasy.
He couldn't help but wonder if he had made some mistake in his estimation of the Song army's reinforcements?
However, where could the Song army draw more military horses from?
And in a short time, a scout galloped to the side of the army. The mouth shouted: "Military emergency!" Military Emergency! ”
The officers and men in the army got out of the way and let the scout gallop to a distance of only ten meters from Ah Shu.
Ah Shu looked at the flag behind him and asked, "What kind of military situation is it?" ”
The scout said: "Marshal, the Song army of about 40,000 people is rushing towards the city. Bagan and several other generals have already led their troops back into the city! ”
Ah Shu was stunned.
Many people who heard this sentence were stunned.
There are so many people in Song Jun?
But then, Ah Shu's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, and shouted: "Evil words confuse the public!" How could the Song army have so many military horses, come and pull him down and behead him! ”
Immediately a soldier went toward the scout.
The scout was stunned, and then his face was full of panic, and he said, "Marshal! Marshal! What I said is true! ”
But no matter how much he shouted, he naturally couldn't escape the fate of being beheaded.
The sword flashed by.
A bloody human head rolled to the ground.
However, the Yuan soldiers who were originally a little flustered were a little calmer in their hearts because of this.
Ah Shu said slowly: "All the soldiers cheer up and prepare to attack the city!" The Song army reinforcements will never have 40,000 people! General Bagan and the others will inevitably destroy them! ”
He had to say this, because if he didn't say this, the morale of the army might be chaotic.
40,000 Song troops, this kind of battle is too scary.
