262. The Yuan army siege the city
For generals, knowing the trade-offs is the most basic quality.
A coach like Boyan will naturally put victory first.
He did not recruit the generals to discuss the matter, and chose to remain silent. Come to think of it, the generals under his command will also quickly realize what is in his mind.
And so, in two days.
The remaining 6,000 or so days of idle troops originally stationed in Huangweidang rushed to Duanxi with all the grain, grass, and equipment.
Zhao Dongting naturally remained in Duanxi City.
But news came from Fengchuan, and the Yuan army never moved. Obviously, Boyan had no intention of recapturing Duanxi.
This made Zhao Dongting feel a little pity.
took Duanxi at night, but still failed to temporarily relieve the siege of Wuzhou.
He could see that Boyan was determined.
After learning the news, Zhao Dongting immediately announced Qin Han and said: "There is no movement of the Yuan army in Fengchuan City, Boyan seems to be planning to go to the city to ignore these surrenders, and he will attack Wuzhou in these days, what do you think?" ”
Qin Han groaned: "We can only wait for it to change, if Wuzhou is tight, let's find a way to help Wuzhou." ”
Zhao Dongting frowned slightly, "Hasn't there been any news from Dali?" ”
The Southern Song Dynasty had too few troops, and if Dali did not send troops to help, even if there were firearms, the outcome of this battle would be unpredictable.
Zhao Dongting had no confidence in his heart.
Qin Han shook his head, "There is no news back yet." ”
Zhao Dongting said quietly: "Time can have passed for three months. ”
He returned to Pingnan from Shuzhong in early April, and at that time, the vertical and horizontal talent that Qin Han said had already gone to Dali, and now, it was already the beginning of July.
When Qin Han heard this, his face did not change much, and he only said: "Dali is a long way to go, and it will take time. ”
He still seemed confident.
Zhao Dongting couldn't help muttering in his heart, he didn't know if Qin Han had any ghost ideas.
He is a person from the Guigu Academy, and he should represent the mysterious force in Shu. Whether they really helped Song or not, it is still difficult to say.
Zhao Dongting's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and said in his heart: "It seems that you can't have much hope for Dali." ”
However, can Zhang Jue withstand the combined attack of Yesuer and Boyan in Wuzhou City?
Although Wuzhou is dangerous, the Yuan army has nearly 400,000 people after all!
If the Yuan army attacked the city, the battle would not be comparable to that of Kong Yuan's attack on Wuzhou, hundreds of thousands of people would attack the city, and it would be difficult for 50,000 people to defend it.
However, he doesn't have a good plan at the moment.
As Qin Han said, they can only wait and see what happens now, waiting for the battle situation to change.
The Tianxian army is stationed in Duanxi, and at least they are free to move. If you go to the side of Wuzhou City, it will be equivalent to being framed in a war cage.
And in the evening of this day, news came from Fengchuan that the Yuan army Boyan had finally marched towards Wuzhou.
Zhao Dongting's mood instantly became solemn.
Dali may be unreliable, now, it depends on how long Wuzhou City can hold off the Yuan army. If the Yuan army can always hold on to Wuzhou City before the food is exhausted, then this battle will be won. It's just that the likelihood doesn't seem to be high right now.
He still stayed in Duanxi City, quietly waiting for the battle report from Wuzhou.
At dawn the next day.
Outside Wuzhou City, there was a sudden sound of thunder and thunder.
The Yuan army is approaching Wuzhou City, and it has reached the thunder array.
The sound of this explosion indicated that the Yuan army was getting closer and closer to Wuzhou City. It's just that I don't know how they walked through the thunder array.
In about ten minutes, the Yuan army had already pressed outside Wuzhou City.
As far as the eye can see, there are Yuan soldiers outside the city. Flags fluttered, mountains and fields, I don't know how many people there were.
Zhang Jue stood on the head of Wuzhou City and looked at the Yuan army's large array with a telescope.
In the camp of the Yuan army, which was like a black cloud, he could see the location of Boyan's Yesu'er's Chinese army.
Boyan's army was on the east side of Wuzhou City, and the whole army was dispatched, with an army of 150,000. Yesuer was outside the northern city wall, and his strength was similar to that of Boyan.
As a veteran, Zhang Jue can roughly estimate how many people there are in the Yuan army from the number of military formations.
What about the soldiers and horses?
He also got the information, and his old opponent also rushed to Wuzhou from Kuizhou with more than 200,000 troops, but now, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in Too'er?
As the most well-guarded general in the Southern Song Dynasty, although the Yuan army overwhelmed the city, he was confident that he could block the Yuan army for a while. It's just that the tens of thousands of soldiers who are nowhere to be seen in Ye Su'er make him feel a faint sense of ominousness in his heart.
War is like this, and it always makes people feel apprehensive about what is not in their grasp.
Are those soldiers hiding somewhere else trying to stop the armies of Pingnan and Rongjin?
Zhang Jue thought so in his heart.
This is the greatest possible.
Immediately, he turned his head to look to the side.
On the city wall of Wuzhou, there are already catapults and ballistas, as well as grenadiers.
However, these catapults are much smaller than the original ones, just over a metre tall. This is a catapult specially designed to drop thunder.
After the thunder, naturally no one would be stupid enough to use those stones to defend the city.
Cannonballs, on the other hand, were mostly placed under the city walls. There are only a few in the city.
This is Zhang Jue's deliberate.
He also knew that there was a thunderstorm in the Yuan army, so he didn't dare to put all the shells on the city wall.
What if it is detonated by the thunder of the Yuan army?
The Song army on the city of Wuzhou was not killed by the Yuan army, but was killed by their own thunder.
That's a joke.
Looking at the dignified-faced soldiers standing next to the catapults and grenadiers, Zhang Jue thought to himself, "My task, it is enough to defend Wuzhou City!" ”
He didn't have much energy to think about where the missing soldiers were stationed.
Prime Minister Wen, there should be a way to deal with those soldiers, right?
He looked out of the city again.
The soldiers on both sides, the Song army at the head of the city, and the Yuan army at the bottom of the city, only a kilometer away, confronted each other.
It was as if there was an extremely solemn battle intent slowly rolling in the air.
The momentum of hundreds of thousands of troops is really impressive.
Zhang Jue seems to have returned to the time when the Yuan army attacked Chongqing Mansion.
Chongqing Mansion, he couldn't hold it. Now, he will never allow himself to be broken by the Yuan army in Wuzhou again.
Time passed at a very slow pace.
There was no movement in the Yuan army's formation.
They seemed to be deliberately coercing the Song army, wanting to wait until the Song army was cowardly before attacking the city.
Zhang Jue knows this very well, but he is helpless.
After nearly half an hour passed like this, there was a sudden drum in the Yuan army.
"Ready!"
Zhang Jue hurriedly shouted.
The horn of the Song army was high.
He hurriedly raised his binoculars again and looked at the large array of the Yuan army on the east and north sides.
Sure enough, in the large array of the Chinese army of Ye Suer and Boyan, the drum army was beating the war drums vigorously.
The sound of knocking and knocking echoed outside the entire Wuzhou City.
They really attacked the city at the same time, which was obviously a plan to take Wuzhou in one go.
Zhang Jue's face was solemn, and he instructed the Lingqi soldiers next to him: "Order the Flying Dragon Army, when the Yuan army approaches the city wall for 500 meters, then meet the enemy with grenadiers!" ”
The herald received the order and hurriedly ran towards Zhao Da and Zhao Hu not far away.
The Flying Dragon Army led by them had already entered Wuzhou City at this time.
Zhao Da and Zhao Hu quickly shouted.
The battle of the Yuan army attacking the city was too terrifying, which made everyone feel extremely dignified in their hearts.
The Yuan army has now learned to be obedient, and there is no longer a shadow of siege vehicles in the army.
After the introduction of firearms such as thunderstorms, siege vehicles were quickly eliminated from the army.
Even, the return cannon that the Yuan army originally relied on the most was gone.
They also replaced all catapults with small ones, which were apparently also specially prepared for throwing thunderbolts.
Both sides intend to rely heavily on firearms.
The rumbling sound of the Yuan army's foot soldiers stomping on the ground sounded in an orderly manner. Hundreds of military formations spread to the city wall of Wuzhou at the same time.
That's 100,000 people.
There was still a distance of about 800 meters from the head of Wuzhou City, and I could only hear the drumbeat of their Chinese army suddenly becoming dense and extremely urgent.
The infantry of the Yuan army followed up and suddenly shouted to kill, and suddenly charged towards the head of Wuzhou City.
It's close.
It's closer.
When the Yuan army charged about 500 meters outside the city, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu's faces turned red, and they shouted at the same time: "Release!" ”
On the east and north city walls of Wuzhou, 200 grenadiers each began to vent their fire outside the city.
The bomb quickly exploded in the Yuan army's array.
Countless Yuan army foot soldiers were blown up in an instant.
However, even the losses caused by the power of the shells were almost negligible for so many Yuan troops.
