"Zhao Dutong, Your Majesty ordered you to take Pufu quickly, why haven't you launched an attack yet?" Zhang Shijie came to the tent of the Chinese military camp and asked as soon as he sat down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Cardinal, it's not that the last general is unwilling, but the form is very unfavorable to us!" Zhao Mengjin replied, "Lord, please see, the streets around Pufu are vertical and horizontal, there are many intersections, and the streets are narrow and difficult to concentrate troops to attack. Although the front is more spacious, but the width is only less than two arrows, the length is not more than 100 steps, and the place of the house gate is concave again, if you break the door and enter, the enemy can shoot from both sides, if you do not pay huge casualties it is difficult to break through. ”

"Then concentrate your forces in one place and storm the village!" Zhang Shijie said unhappily.

"Cardinal commander, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers in the Chinese army, not only to block everywhere to prevent the thieves from escaping, but also to patrol the whole city to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity to make chaos, and there are still about 5,000 soldiers in the Pu Mansion, our army is not superior, if the damage is too heavy, it is even more powerless to attack!" Zhao Mengjin explained.

"Then are all the ballistas and rockets in your army? Your Majesty is sympathetic to the soldiers, and you have already given the order to let go of the attack, don't you know! Zhang Shijie said angrily.

"The last general knows that Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and cannot bear the casualties of the army. But once we let go of the attack, it will be all burned, and we will lose our original intention of attacking Quanzhou. Zhao Mengjin nodded and said.

"Alas, Zhao Dutong can understand the holy will, and it is no wonder that His Majesty trusts you. But His Majesty has ordered that the battle must end before it gets too dark, otherwise military law will be engaged, but there is no way to do both at the moment, but to concentrate on the ballista to destroy the wall first, and then fight for it one by one! Zhang Shijie sighed lightly. I feel in my heart that this is really the Lord who loves his subordinates, but the subordinates are for the sake of the Lord, how can they not win with such a harmonious monarch and minister.

"This ...... Cardinal, although it is difficult to have both, but the last general wants to be able to protect the property in the mansion as much as possible, lure the enemy out of the mansion, or lure the enemy to one place, and then suddenly concentrate the ballista to bombard with flowering shells, consume a large amount of his vital strength, and launch a general attack to destroy the remnants of the enemy! Zhao Mengjin said his plan and said, "So please also ask the cardinal to tell Your Majesty that Rong Mo will have a little time!" ”

"Zhao Dutong, I am not satisfied with what you said, Your Majesty is worried that as soon as the tide falls, the thieves will abscond from the secret passage, so we are required to fight quickly to prevent future troubles, so even if Your Majesty agrees, it will not be extended for much time!" Zhang Shijiejue's Zhao Mengjin's idea is indeed feasible, but the time is urgent, and the implementation is really difficult.

"Oh, just now, the last general watched the enemy, they have already transferred the main force to the fortification of the palace gate, concentrated in front of the main hall, and the warehouses are all set up in the backyard and the east road, and they can launch an attack when they are relaxed!" Zhao Mengjin thought for a while and said.

"Okay, sooner rather than later, if the thief fails to make peace, he will know that it will be difficult to escape justice, so once he launches an attack, he must be swift and fast, and he will not give him a chance to breathe, lest he take a risk, that is the jade is burned!" Zhang Shijie nodded in agreement and admonished again.

"The commander of the cardinal, the commander, the enemy army wants to charge the battle with cavalry!" As soon as the two of them agreed, a soldier ran into the tent and said.

"You read that right?" Zhang Shijie asked in surprise.

"Cardinal, it will never be wrong to see that the enemy army is clearing the blocked door and opening the passage!" The soldier affirmed.

"Cardinal, someone will send a pillow when you are really sleepy!" Zhao Mengjin listened to it, looked at Zhang Shijie and smiled dumbly. He was also a general of the infantry army, and he knew very well that in addition to the strong mobility of the cavalry, which came and went like the wind, the impact of the war horse relied on the impact of the warhorse, and the faster the speed, the greater the impact. But the war horse is not as flying as it moves, it needs a certain distance to gradually accelerate, and this distance needs at least three hundred steps to reach the fastest, but the gate to the front of the battle is only a stone's throw away, and it is only about one hundred and fifty steps, and the speed cannot be raised at all. The slow-moving horses were no different from the targets, and even the cavalry that rushed into the formation without speed was greatly reduced in power, and was surrounded and killed by the infantry army.

"It's not so simple to look at things with Ben Shuai, Your Majesty is at the head of the city, they must rush there!" Zhang Shijie still thought a little more about such an abnormal thing and said vigilantly.

"What the cardinal is worried about is that His Majesty often says that the abnormal is a demon. The last general will immediately go to the front of the battle to kill this fang, and never let them come to His Majesty's eyes! Zhao Mengjin immediately got up and said.

"Well, Ben Shuai swept the battle for you!" Zhang Shijie nodded......

Zhao Mengjin came to the front of the formation, only to see that there were infantry archers in Pufu who shot on the wall to stop the formation, covering the cavalry out of the palace to line up, and Guantong reported that there were about 500 enemy cavalry, all of whom were Mongols, and the generals were thousands of slaves on the Mongolian march.

"Order all ballistae to be reloaded with blooming shells, concentrate on bombarding enemy formations, and fire ballistas and archers to kill approaching enemy cavalry!" Zhao Mengjin knew that with such a short distance, it wouldn't take long for the cavalry to jog even if they were jogging, and a good archer could shoot three arrows at most to get to him, so he could only strike first, "Set up a shield, the pikemen step forward to block the enemy, and the sword and shield soldiers are ready to fight!" ”

"Target, the front door, the flowering bullet shoots continuously!"

"Burst ballista, enemy cavalry in front of the target, non-stop shooting!" With Zhao Mengjin's order, the ballista team immediately prepared to launch and attacked at the same time.

'Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......'

'Boom, boom, ......boom' ordered the flags to swing, the ballistas fired in unison, at this moment people found that the ballistae arranged here were by no means the dozen or so in front of the formation, on the roofs of the surrounding houses facing Pufu, shops and hotels all hid ballistas, there were as many as 50 of them, and the power of firing together was enough to shock people's hearts.

The sudden fire strike suddenly caused a great confusion among the enemy horses that had just been assembled, in fact, the horses were the most timid, and if they had not undergone special training, they would be frightened and run away when they heard some movement. At the moment, although the war horses of the hundred slaves have passed through the battle array, they have definitely not heard such a big movement, and the flying shrapnel is wantonly cutting the flesh and blood of the people and horses, and for a time the people and horses are in chaos, not to mention the rushing formation, and even the formation cannot be arranged.

The sudden artillery attack not only disrupted the enemy's formation, but also caused great casualties, the men and horses injured by the shock wave of the explosion and shrapnel fell down, and the people who were not dead struggled to get up, but they were knocked down and trampled by the frightened war horses, and they were also completely dead in an instant. And those who haven't had time to leave the house are not much better, the war horses scattered joy in the courtyard, not only took off the master's back, but also knocked the barricades that had just been built into pieces, and the soldiers who were guarding there were also frightened and ran around, avoiding the frightened war horses.

"Charge into battle, charge into battle...... Baijianu saw that his cavalry had collapsed, suffered heavy casualties, and was drowned in the smoke of gunpowder, he tried his best to suppress his war horse and rushed out of the dust, drew his sword and roared to meet the flying crossbow arrows, and rushed to the Song army's large array......
