Chapter 548: The Momentum of Breaking the Bamboo
The long-awaited sound of fighting sounded in the ancient Youzhou, and the stars were scattered into Youzhou and divided into Yan Kingdom. It is said that the north is too yin, so it is called the netherworld, one of the ancient Kyushu and the thirteen thorn history departments of the Han Dynasty.
Youzhou is the name of the Han people, while the Liao people call it Xijin Mansion.
The army of the Great Song Dynasty had been divided into three routes, the left forward led by Di Qing had reached Liangxiang, and the right forward led by Cao Wei bypassed Xijin Mansion after receiving Zhao Zhen's decree and marched north to Miyun in Danzhou.
At the same time, Zhao Zhen's Chinese army had also reached the Gaoliang River, the place where Taizong's Northern Expedition was defeated......
As long as Zhao Zhen further north is Lu County, that is, Tong County in later generations, it can be seen that this place is less than ten miles away from Xijin Mansion.
Under the pressure of such a large army, the entire Xijin Mansion is in danger, as if it will be swallowed up by the Great Song Dynasty in an instant, and there are three lines of defense in the entire Xijin Mansion, the outermost is a simple defense line with Flying Fox City, Guiyi City, Yongqing, and Wuqing as the strength,
The number of these cities is small, but the distance is relatively close, and they can help each other, and the cities are all built later, all of them are high and deep, and it is generally difficult to break through, in order to drag the enemy's footsteps.
But it's a pity that they happened to run into the Great Song army carrying artillery, the damage of mortar to the city wall and fortifications is far greater than that of ordinary artillery, and the huge projectile is the nemesis of the city defense, and the Great Song Dynasty does not need a complete city wall, just pull out the stronghold, and have a steady stream of sixteen guards from the country to take over the city defense and construction.
Artillery, a product that spans the times, suddenly appeared on the land of Yanyun, and the Liao people didn't know how powerful it was, even if there were rumors, they scoffed at it, how could there be a siege equipment like a blow from a god? If there really is, why didn't Da Song use it earlier? Never heard of it?
As a result, the entire city defense of Nanjing Road became powder wherever the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army went, and it also made the original military towns of Fanyang and Gu'an easily taken by the Great Song Dynasty.
The huge mortar cannon retreated sharply with a roar like dry thunder and was caught by the metal claw, and jumped wildly on the ground before calming down, Zhao Zhen's ears had already beeped, buzzing non-stop, he just came to check it out, who would have thought that the sound was so loud?
Plucked out his ears, Zhao Zhen looked at the city wall in the distance, the huge cannonball hit his head with a terrible whistling, this kind of projectile mortar projectile weighed dozens of catties, and it would be even more ignorant under the action of gravitational acceleration......
A huge impact sounded, the heavens and the earth seemed to change color, and the bricks and stones on the city wall splashed up into sharp killing weapons, Zhao Zhen's face trembled fiercely, and he was a little frightened when he saw such a powerful mortar cannon.
This is the power of civilization, this is the power of science and technology, and Zhao Zhen is fortunate that the Great Song Dynasty has mastered this terrifying power.
The power of a cannon is terrifying, the Great Song Dynasty has not yet entered, the gate of Anci City not far away is opened, this is the first time in the history of the Great Song Dynasty attack, the Liao people took the initiative to open the door to meet the enemy, it seems that they also know that this city can not be defended.
No need for Zhao Zhen to say anything, the army naturally operates normally, in the face of the menacing Liao cavalry, the central forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty began to charge, they are all the elite of the back army, mainly responsible for protecting the emperor's heavy responsibility, seeing that someone came to charge the battle, naturally will not show mercy.
The Great Song Dynasty Huode, with red as the natural color, when the army was conquering, these elite cavalry were divided into bright red cloaks, usually used as cold and warm clothing, once on the battlefield, not only can increase the momentum but also form an effective command role, the army can clearly see their position, in order to support or attack.
The bright red cloak and shiny plate armor all show their might and elite, and the plate armor shows its toughness to the enemy as the best protective armor, that is, the long knife pierces it, and if the speed is not enough, it still cannot penetrate it.
Blunt objects smashed on it will be absorbed by the protruding diamond pattern and arc design, except for the two concussive coughs of the internal organs, there is basically no big problem, just a few breaths, the war knife in the hand of the back army can easily harvest the enemy's life, will not give him a second chance to strike.
The Beiwei army was like a fierce tiger, charging forward without pause, the weapons in their hands flew up and down, taking away fresh lives again and again, until they killed through the enemy formation, they would slowly stop advancing, and then rush back to kill.
The cavalry and foot soldiers of the Liao people could not withstand such an intensity of charge, the losses of the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty were not enough, and they were killed and wounded but heavy, under this kind of high-intensity battle, the spirit of many Liao people began to collapse, and the desire to survive slowly defeated the persistence and glory in their hearts, and the headwind situation was always the most difficult to fight.
Seeing that the cavalry had already played the momentum of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen did not hesitate to pull out his sword, turned over and began to charge, and in an instant the entire Great Song Dynasty army began to fight forward like crazy, and even appeared to fight without death, but even so, the Liao people still did not have any cheapness, the armor of the Great Song Dynasty was too sophisticated, and the result of the long knife cutting was better was to be stuck on the plate armor, and the most fatal thing was that only a white mark could be left, and then the sharp horizontal knife in the hands of the Song people would pass through their leather armor. Easy and fast.
The forbidden army can't help but work hard, and they can't do it without going crazy, the official family took out the sword of the Son of Heaven, and rushed forward without even saying hello, if their speed is slow and the momentum is insufficient, it is likely that the official family will directly face the enemy!
You must know that this battle is a battle with equal numbers, once the official family is put into the battle array, no one dares to imagine the worst result, Xia Zhu is crazy and has to cut down the Liao soldiers around him, even his own soldiers have to avoid him a little, at this time the Xia Jian army is the most hideous and terrifying.
Zhao Zhen's dragon flag was raised high, and for a while, the army of the Great Song Dynasty was like eating stimulants, and the momentum was raised, and a crazy fight began, no one knew where Zhao Zhen's eyes were looking, but they knew that as long as they fought bravely to kill the enemy, they would be seen by the officials.
Wouldn't it be a good thing to protect the official family and obtain military merits at the same time? Maybe you can take advantage of this opportunity and soar, right?
During this time, everyone has a preliminary understanding of the emperor, it is true that he loves soldiers like children, and the official family who is high above the nine heavens can actually sit with the soldiers, looking at the bonfire and imagining the future after the class teacher returns to the court, who should marry a wife and have children when he goes back, how much tax can be reduced when he goes back, who can transfer the official price when he goes back, and so on, these are all things that the official family loves to talk about.
To put it mildly, even if there is no responsibility to protect the official family, the soldiers have to sacrifice their lives to protect Zhao Zhen, who is willing to let him die in such an official family?
The soldier dies for his confidant, this is not to say, Zhao Zhen's every move makes them really feel their status in the hearts of the officials, who dares to say that they are thieves with the army? Who dares to say that he is a fighter? No matter what others think, they are warriors in the hearts of the official family anyway, and this alone is enough!
The army marched all the way, repelling the Liao people, and even Xia Zhu was infected by the momentum of the army, and he waved his sword and roared......
