In Chongqing Prefecture, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu led the Flying Dragon Army out of the city, and the army of 10,000 people spread towards Peiling, the county town of Peizhou in the east.

Yue Peng personally led the Tiankui army south to attack Nanchuan.

Miao Youli, Zheng Yihang, Pang Wenbo and others stayed in Chongqing.

Dazhou.

Xiao Yulin led the Tianjie army out of the city in the early morning and rushed to Kaijiang, the county seat of Kaizhou. Only in the afternoon, Liu Zijun also led the Tianxiong army out of the city and also went to Kaijiang.

The situation in Dazhou is even more embarrassing than that in Chongqing, where the Dali army occupies several prefectures and has the tendency to encircle Kuizhou.

Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun went out of the city, and they may not have the intention of going to help Kuizhou Mansion.

Compared with Dazhou, there is no doubt that Kuizhou is the top priority in the strategy of clearing the wilderness.

Correspondingly, after the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army moved, the Dali Army soon had a targeted transfer.

At this time, their forces were scattered in the prefectures and counties occupied by them, and after figuring out the intentions of the Great Song Dynasty's forbidden army, they had to send troops to resist.

The Dali army in Qizhou also seemed to know the changes in the situation in the north, so he suddenly led the army to leave Qizhou and continue to march north. Directly enter Suiyang, Zhenzhou.

Zhenzhou is different from the prefectures and counties of these few tribes, and it is a city under the rule of the real Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Jue got the scout's report, and immediately led the army to set off, closely following the pace of the Dali army in Qizhou.

Roughly calculated, the territory of Kuizhou Road has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops from the New Song Dynasty, Dali and the Great Song Dynasty.

It seems that the flames of war will be ignited again.

And so it was only two days.

Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun led the army to the outside of Dekaijiang City.

There is clear water and the Diejiang River flowing through the east outside the city, and there is no shortage of water sources, and the turbid river in the moat is surging.

On the head of the city built of bricks and stones, you can see the banner of the Dali army spreading, and the army armor is forested.

Looking at the military flag, it is the tiger army in the White Horse Army.

The three armies of the New Song Dynasty Longyou, Huben and Tiema attacked the Great Song Dynasty from along the Dazhou line, and although the Huben Army was not as famous as the Longyou Army, it was also the existence second only to the Longyou Army in the Seven Armies of the White Horse.

At this time, no one knew how many tiger armies were gathered in Kaijiang City.

However, Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun did not have less than 20,000 people in the army.

The two led the army until a few hundred meters outside the west gate of Dekai River City and then slowly stopped. In the army, about half of the cavalry and infantry soldiers were all neatly dressed in ink armor.

Flags and capes swayed in the wind.

The two armies of Tianyong and Tianjie formed their own formations.

Looking from afar, you can see that Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin are both in the depths of the formation. There is a large rope standing up high on the side.

In front of the army, there were fierce generals in the army who held guns and immediately glared at the head of the city.

At the head of the city, there were also many generals of the Dali Army who looked coldly at the outside of the city.

Beside them, there were a number of artillery carts.

The crossbowmen stood behind the battlements, only the tips of their arrows exposed, and the cold glow flickered.

There are also ballistas, and the javelin-like arrows are even more impressive.

Ballistae were inflexible, but they were a powerful tool for defending cities. Its range is not much worse than that of a grenadier.

The confrontation lasted for about ten minutes.

Xiao Yulin's army was the first to move.

I saw the flag soldier on the women's car shaking the red arrow in his hand.

Then, some of the soldiers in the army hurried to the front of the battle with their waists bowed.

There were about 200 men, and it was the grenadier battalion.

After running to the front of the formation, the two hundred men were all half-squatting on the ground, and then one of them took off the wooden box on his back and opened it on the ground.

Inside was a swarthy grenadier.

The soldiers worked in groups of two and coordinated with each other to assemble the grenadiers at a very fast speed.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zijun also saw movement in the army.

The same grenadier battalion officers and men ran to the front of the army to set up guns.

This kind of divine weapon of the Great Song Dynasty is definitely a great deterrent to the Dali army.

Now, the hot air balloons in the Song army can still be resisted by hot air balloons. But grenadiers, they were helpless.

After waiting for a full two hundred grenadiers to be placed in front of the Song army's formation, the faces of the generals of the Tiger Ben Army at the head of the city couldn't help but be a little ugly.

Then, one of the generals waved his hand and shouted at the city: "Bring them up!" โ€

And innumerable numbers of people were carried up to the city.

The hands of the people were bound with hemp ropes, and they were guarded by tiger soldiers with spears.

Again, this is the most shameless method.

However, the grenadier battalions of the Tianjie and Tianxiong armies saw this scene and showed no signs of retreating.

The vanguard general of the Tianxiong army immediately in front of the army shouted at the city: "If you are interested, you will quickly abandon the city and surrender." Otherwise, let you die under artillery fire immediately! โ€

At the head of the city, a tiger general responded, "Do you not care about the lives of these people?" โ€

In the army, Liu Zijun sneered coldly.

The governor of Kaizhou surrendered to the New Song Dynasty, and Kaizhou was the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty at this time. In the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, where will there be so much to take care of.

Even the emperor has conveyed the holy will to the army, and as a last resort, he can give up the small crowd and seek the whole.

Because only by ending the war as soon as possible can more people be rescued.

"Artillery demonstration!"

Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin gave such an order almost at the same time.

Then there was the sound of artillery in front of the army.

Of the 100 grenadiers in front of the Tianjie Army and the Tianxiong Army, 10 of them fired shells at the same time.

These shells hit the walls of Kaijiang City.

Rubble flying.

Smoke and dust rise.

There was a scream at the head of the city.

The generals of the Tiger Ben Army all showed a slight shock.

They really didn't expect that Song Jun would no longer care about these people now. This made their method of using the people to blackmail the Song army completely ineffective.

Some generals hurriedly ran down the city with their soldiers.

And the Song army did not continue to fire after the artillery stopped.

Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin both held binoculars and looked at the city.

They saw that there were many New Song soldiers in the city, who were retreating to the city.

I don't know if I was going to abandon the walls or what I was going to do.

But no matter what, this Kaijiang City will always have to be won.

After a few more minutes, the flag on the women's car of the Tianjie Army waved again.

The camp tent of the grenadier battalion in front saw the flag waving, and shouted: "Prepare to fire!" โ€

Immediately afterwards, the same voice sounded in front of the Tianxiong army.

The two Great Song Forbidden Armies attacked Kaijiang City, and Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin both had the idea that they were bound to win.

"Fire!"

With the last shout, the west gate of Kaijiang City was covered by artillery fire in the blink of an eye.

Smoke fills the air.

Meat flew from the city.

A ballista fired javelin-like arrows that shot into the city with a sound that broke through the air.

However, these javelins all fell in front of the grenadier battalion. Its range, after all, is still inferior to the grenadier.

Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun grasped this distance very skillfully.

This only made the generals of the Tiger Ben Army at the head of the city panic, and they gritted their teeth with hatred. I only hate that there is no such weapon as a grenadier in my own army.

If their armaments could be as strong as the Song army, how could their Tiger Ben army fall into such a passive situation?

After just two rounds of cannons, the Tiger Ben army on the head of the city was almost dumb.

I don't know how many ballistas, soldiers, and catapults were blown up in the explosion just now.

"Kill!"

In the two armies of the Great Song Dynasty Tianjie and Tianxiong, the big ones shook, the drums sounded suddenly, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Under the cover of grenadiers, the foot soldiers attacked the gate of Kaijiang.

They don't know how many times they have trained in such a city-breaking exercise in the military district, so it can be said that they are familiar with the road.

There were catapults throwing thunderbolts at the head of the city to resist, but there were very few of them.

After the explosion just now, there are not many soldiers left in the city.

It is basically impossible for them to resist the simultaneous attack of the Tianjie and Tianxiong armies.

The infantry of the two armies approached 10,000 men, and they quickly rushed out of the moat.

The New Song Army did a great job, and even the stone bridges on the moat, which were originally used for traffic, had been blown up by them at this time.

This almost cut off the possibility of the Song army attacking the city with heavy equipment.

But Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun don't seem to have this plan.

There are not many heavy equipment in the current Great Song Army. The rams, ladders, and so on of the past have almost all been discarded.

Some soldiers jumped into the water with their bags in their pockets.

There were also sharpshooters in the army who were half-crouched on the ground and aimed at the ropes of the drawbridge above the city gates.

All I could hear was gunshots.

The heavy drawbridge fell to the ground with a bang, lying across the moat.

Although the drawbridge is not very wide, it still gives the Great Song Forbidden Army a way to attack the city gate.

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army at the head of the city were dumbfounded.

They obviously didn't think that the Song army would be able to use such a method to get close to the city.

Some generals shouted again and again: "Throw thunder!" Archery! Stop them! โ€

But their voices were so inaudible in the successive cannon fires.

Many of the Great Song forbidden troops rushed along the drawbridge to the city gates.
