"Sons, when you repay the country with death......"

The Song cavalry general had just finished his sentence when an arrow pierced the air and entered his throat.

"Ho Ho ......"

The cavalry general of the Song army had an expression of extreme pain on his face, his neck was shot through, and large strands of blood poured into his trachea.

Before the man dies, he falls straight down the horse!

A series of cheers sounded on the side of the Dang Capture Army, and the Dang Capture Sergeants rushed towards the Song Army one by one in high spirits.

The generals of the Song army were killed in battle, and the soldiers were still in chaos, where could they resist the re-charge of the Dang Capture Army.

"Ah......h

The Dang Capture Army once again cut through the Song Army's cavalry formation, and the Song Army cavalry was in a panic, and some people wanted to organize a counterattack and led people to rush to the Dang Army.

Someone wants to retreat, keep the main forces of the army, and start retreating!

Some people are panicked and don't know what to do, so they stay where they are, looking panicked.

In this way, the three thousand cavalry of the Song army were completely confused!

On the battlefield, once the army is in disarray, then it will be followed by a major defeat, or even the total annihilation.

"Kill!"

The Dang Capture Army entered the Song Army's cavalry array, and those Song cavalry who wanted to organize resistance collided with the Dang Capture Army cavalry head-on.

And then there was no then!

The Song army was chiseled through again, and this time even the banner of the Chinese army could not be kept, the banner was cut off by the sweeping army, and the 3,000 cavalry of the Song army was completely finished.

On the city of Fengxiang Mansion, Zhe Keqiu's body trembled slightly, and his face turned blue!

"Damn, shit! How so! ”

"Three thousand people, it's not the opponent of the other party's thousand people, did I spend money to raise such a group of waste?"

Zhe Keqiu roared madly, without any of his usual demeanor.

Ever since his two sons were killed in battle, his spirit had begun to change a little abnormally!

"Father."

Zhi Yancheng stood up and said.

"Shut up!"

Zhe Keqiu turned his head and glared at Zhi Yancheng viciously, his eyes as if he wanted to kill.

"Father's son asked to lead his troops out of the city to rescue the 3,000 cavalry of my family's army."

Zhi Yancheng faced the gaze of Fold Ke and forcibly resisted his fear.

Zhi Keqiu shook his head and rejected Zhi Yancheng's request.

"There's no need to save it, those 3,000 people are finished, the morale of the army has been defeated, and bringing it back will only waste food, and even affect the morale of the soldiers in the city."

……

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Chen Yan put down the binoculars and no longer paid attention to the cavalry battlefield over there.

He knew that the overall situation over there had been decided, and there would be no more accidents!

Chen Yan turned his attention back to the siege of Jigong Mountain Fort, where the Dang Capture Army had already killed the city and began to fight with the defenders in the city.

The two sides fought desperately, the combat effectiveness of the captive army, and the will to fight, although they left off the Song army, but in the offensive and defensive battles, it was still not easy to fight.

There was almost a two-to-one casualty ratio!

The Dang Capture Army killed and wounded two people in order to kill a Song army!

It's just that as the Dang captives landed in the city, gained a firm foothold on the city, lined up in a military formation and fought with the Song army, the casualty ratio decreased rapidly.

One-to-one, one-to-two, one-to-three, and even quickly to the point of one-to-five!

The morale of the Song army in Jigongshan Fort has become much worse than before, and it has begun to be suppressed and beaten by the captive army.

Rumble!

After a loud bang, the walls of Jigongshan Fort were blown down by gunpowder from the captives, and smoke and dust rose everywhere, and everyone who was shocked felt a pain in their eardrums.

The city wall was blown down a large part, and the army of the Dang Capture Army launched an attack and directly entered that section of the wall.

The 7,000 defenders in the Jigong Mountain Fort died and surrendered, and within one day, one of the three fortresses outside Fengxiang Mansion changed hands to the Dang Capture Army.

Fengxiang Mansion not only couldn't support it, but also folded 3,000 cavalry inside!

At this time, the cavalry strength of the Song army was basically swept away!

……

It's night!

A loud bang came from the direction of Yuanding Fort outside Fengxiang Mansion, and the wall of Yuanding Fort was blown down by the method of digging tunnels to bury gunpowder by the captured army.

The captive army entered the city at night, and Yuanding Fort changed hands!

The high-level leaders of the Zhe family army led by Zhe Keqiu did not sleep all night, and they did not dare to sleep.

For fear that the Dang Capture Army would launch a night attack on Fengxiang Mansion City.

"How's that okay, guys? In one day, Jigong Mountain, Yuanding Erbao changed hands, how should I guard Fengxiang Mansion? ”

Zhe Keqiu didn't sleep all night, his eyes were a little red, and he asked in poor spirits.

"Big brother, have you noticed anything?"

Zhi Keshi said tentatively.

"What?"

Zhe Keqiu shook his head.

"The thieves used the kind of weapons that would explode to break the city, and directly blew down the city walls, although the enemy army was strong in combat, but there was almost no strong siege of the city."

Zhe Keshi said.

"Third brother, what do you mean?"

"Big brother, I found that the thief army seems to have buried the kind of weapon that can explode and produce flames under the city, and then blew down the city wall."

"If we can find out where the thief army is buried in advance, and then dig a good tunnel, wait for the thief army to take the bait, and be caught off guard, can we catch the thief army by surprise, then Fengxiang Mansion can be defended?"

Zhe Keshi said a hypothesis.

Everyone thought about it for a while, and nodded their heads to think it was feasible.

In later generations, it was the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who invented this way of burying black/gunpowder to break the city.

With this method, they broke through Changsha, Wuchang, Jinling...... Fortified cities!

Swept most of China!

The Manchu Qing could deal with them, but the only way was to dig tunnels, and then ambush them in advance, or pour water into the tunnels and destroy the tunnels.

It is similar to the current idea of folding and adapting!

I have to admit that this is suitable for the qualifications of a famous general, and it is not a loss to be a general who leads troops to fight all year round. (Historically, at this time, Zhi Keshi had already died of illness)

"Let's arrange it, set up a listening urn every ten zhang at the base of the city wall to prevent the night attack of the thief army."

Fold can ask for arrangement.

There has been such a thing as a listening urn for a long time.

As soon as the tunnel siege appeared, such a thing as a listening urn naturally came into being!

The earliest use of the tunnel siege method was used by famous generals in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in the conquest of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

And the listening urn was also invented at that time.

Listening to the urn, as the name suggests, is an urn.

The bottom of the urn is smashed through and then half buried in the earth, which can clearly capture the movement of the enemy digging the tunnel and judge the position of the enemy.

It sounds low, but it's practical!

It is possible to ask for a herald to order the only remaining fort of Jiudang Mountain, so that the defenders of Jiudang Mountain also bury the listening urn, and carefully prevent the captives from burying gunpowder to blow up the city wall.

It's just that the compromise is really an overestimation of the combat effectiveness of the defenders of Jiudang Mountain!

Within one day, Jigong Mountain and Yuanding Second Fort were lost, and 3,000 cavalry were lost, which had already frightened them.

The defenders of Jiudang Mountain were obedient and listened to the urn buried, but they did not play their due role.

On the second day, the Dang captives made a feint to attack Jiudang Mountain.

Although it was only a feint, it almost broke the city several times, and the casualties of the defenders of Jiudang Mountain were almost the same as those of the besieging army.
