In Qiongzhou in May, the temperature is actually very high, people don't have to do anything in the sun, and they sweat in less than a quarter of an hour; After staying for half an hour, I was dizzy, and I couldn't control my thirst no matter how much I drank water. If you stay for another half an hour, you will feel nauseous and dizzy, which is a precursor to heat stroke.

In such weather, launching an attack on a city is definitely a severe test for an army, and non-elite soldiers are not competent.

However, at this moment, a mile outside the northern city of Qiongguan, a chaotic team was forming a team, preparing to launch an attack on the Qiongguan Yuan army.

This team consisted of about six or seven hundred men, more than 200 gunmen, more than 300 crossbowmen, and about 200 auxiliaries carrying long siege ladders, trenches, and various spare bows, knives and guns. This is a very standard Song army array, and at this time, Su Jingyu, the general commanding this team, was sweating profusely, his face was red, and he was resentful.

Su Jingyu is Su Jingzhan's brother, originally a naval army, that is, the admiral of the Dragon Bird Army, and a battalion under his command is the main force of the navy, mostly composed of the children of the Su family and servants, and is very combative. Su Jingzhan, who was the commander of the naval army at the beginning, was able to stand out from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and this Su family would play a key role.

After Su Liuyi, the head of the Su family, was implicated by Zhang Shijie and lost power, the Su family's naval army was merged into the Dragon Bird Army and changed to the navy. Although Su Jingyu was secretly unhappy for the head of the family and depressed, he didn't dare to make a mistake, after all, Zhao Hunting was righteous.

In this expedition, the navy was originally only responsible for blocking the sea surface and preventing the Yuan army from attacking or escaping from the sea. But for some reason, today the marshal ordered the navy to go ashore and launch an attack.

To attack the city, the army with strong soldiers and horses is not used, but the navy is used. Su Jingyu was very puzzled, but he also accepted the order very quickly. His Su army is not a pure naval army, and he has been attacking the city on land to resist the enemy in the early years. It was only with the wandering of the sea that the Su family army slowly transformed into a naval army. However, the old foundation is still there, and wearing shoes ashore can still be different from the army.

However, the next order made Su Jingyu almost scold his mother: the Su family's military base camp did not move, and only the new barracks were used.

Storm such a fortified city, with a new barracks? The new recruits who have only been reorganized for a few months, isn't this sending them to death?

Su Jingyu took the fire sign, his face was gloomy, and he thought of a possibility - the marshal didn't want the Su family army to grow, so he wanted to weaken them with the help of the Yuan army, otherwise he couldn't explain why he used the navy to attack the city.

Su Jingyu told Su Jingzhan about this consideration, and the new generation of the Su family at the helm had a calm face, and only said one sentence: "Don't talk nonsense, take the order, and go to war." ”

No matter how resentful Su Jingyu is, on the battlefield, he can't choose, and after receiving the order, he must fight.

The main generals have doubts, not to mention the minions below. When the soldiers of the recruit battalion heard the order, they were all in an uproar. Most of this new barracks are soldiers, and their minds are floating, thinking about "whether to use us as cannon fodder". As a result, the arrangement of troops was chaotic, hundreds of men and horses could not be deployed for half a day, and the energy and physical strength of the soldiers were consumed in the noise and tossing back and forth.

Chang Tai, Shen Pingbo, Wan Zhong and other generals who were watching the battle on the surface of the warship really couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Lie for battle.

Zhao Lie only said lightly: "Don't worry, when you make a move, wait patiently." ”

The generals looked at their immediate bosses again, but saw Jiang Fenglie, Ouyang Guanhou, Zhang Ba, Su Jingzhan and others all expressionless, so they had no choice but to withdraw.

Chang Taiyi exited the cabin, put down his fists, looked back at the chaotic array between the enemy buildings in the north and south of Baishakou, and was extremely depressed: "I really don't know what the marshal thinks, sending these soldiers to take the lead, isn't this the prestige of my dragon bird army?" ”

"That's it." Wan Zhong is also very unhappy, he has been remembering this work for a long time.

Shen Pingbo was worried: "With such a formation, it is a small matter to fall into prestige, if that dragon is more courageous, it will be bad to go out of the city and fight back." ”

……

Qiongguan was at the head of the city, and on the top of the tower, Long Wenxiang and the generals of the Yuan army looked at the situation under the city, first surprised, then doubtful, and finally their eyes lit up.

Long Wenxiang called a hundred households: "How is the inquiry?" ”

The hundred households saluted and said: "Envoy, the last general has asked clearly, and many subordinates have recognized that most of the soldiers in this army under the city are soldiers who went out with the marshal Ali Hague that day. Some of them were members of the same battalion. ”

After a while, another hundred households hurriedly came over to salute and report: "Baishakou is surrounded by dozens of miles, and there is no Song people in ambush. ”

Long Wenxiang nodded, and asked another old-fashioned staff: "What is your opinion?" ”

The staff said: "Although the former soldiers of Yashuai were defeated and surrendered, the training time was still short, the people's hearts were undecided, and the army's morale was unstable, so they drove the siege of the city, and it was inevitable that it would be delayed. This is a good opportunity. ”

The generals said one after another: "Xuan, Mr. Xie is right. Why did we wait for the Song people to attack with their whole army, so we took advantage of the instability of their formations to kill out of the city and frustrate the enemy's spirit. Declare it, give the order. ”

Long Wenxiang groaned: "How can the Song army musketeers of the northern and southern enemy towers resist?" ”

Mr. Na Xie said: "Send a quick soldier to quickly rush into the formation of the Song army, as long as the two armies meet, the musket will not dare to fire, otherwise the enemy and I will be injured." ”

Swift soldiers?!

The generals looked at the three of them together: the lord of Luodian, the lord of the retreating barbarian wall, Lan Nu, and the lord of the Great Dragon Ridge, Shi Sheng.

When it comes to ferocity and swiftness, there is really nothing like these natives. They can't do it in a dignified battle formation, but a surprise attack is perfect for it.

Long Wenmao looked at the three lords.

The three lords gathered and muttered for a while, and then the lord of Luo Dian said contemptuously: "We want a hundred cows, two hundred sheep, a hundred stones of grain, and fifty pieces of cloth." Well, that's pretty much it. ”

Long Wenmian bowed slightly: "Okay, then there will be three masters." ”

A moment later, the Song army under the city finally reluctantly lined up in an offensive formation, but everyone was dizzy from the sun, and they couldn't even hold their weapons. Su Jingyu was also too tired, he did not immediately order an attack, but asked the auxiliaries to push the waterwheel over, and each of them poured a basin of water from head to toe. Suddenly, there was a steaming water above the military formation, and the spirits of the soldiers of the whole battalion were lifted.

Only then did Su Jingyu pull out his waist knife, pointed at Qiong Guancheng, and shouted: "The handsome trust, let us be the first to attack, and the first to ascend will reward the ......."

Before he could say what he would reward, suddenly the north gate of Qiongguan City burst open, and a group of soldiers armed with rattan cards, wielding machetes and pike guns swarmed out, and the gurgling and strange screams converged into a terrifying scream.

The waist knife in Su Jingyu's hand almost fell to the ground, it's bad!

On the sea in the distance, Chang Tai and Wan Zhong all shook their heads and couldn't help but glance at Shen Pingbo. Alas, it's really right, it's bad!

Zhang Ba and Su Jingzhan looked gloomy, and sighed secretly in their hearts, this is bad! They didn't notice that Zhao Lie, Jiang Fenglie, and Ouyang Guanhou had a faint excitement in their solemn expressions.

On the top of the tower, Long Wenxiang, Mr. Xie and other generals smiled happily. The Dragon Bird Army's first siege of the city was frustrated before it began, so a round of back will definitely boost the morale of the army, and sweep away the frustration of being captured by the Dragon Bird Army with a thunderous force the day before yesterday.

However, before the smiles faded from everyone's faces, they saw that when they were a hundred paces away from the Song army's position, the three soldiers suddenly made a sharp turn, and the front team turned into a rear team, rushing towards the city gate at a faster speed than the previous charge...... Immediately, there were shouts of killing from the north gate.

Long Wenxiang saw with his own eyes that the officials he arranged to supervise the battle were jumped up by the leader of the soldiers who rushed to the forefront, raised his knife high and plunged it violently, the head of the hat was split in two, and the top of his head was half-wearing a knife......

In an instant, Long Wenmian's hands and feet were cold, and his whole body trembled: "Retribution!" Retribution! In the past, Zhao and Luo were held by us, and Qiong's control was broken, and today it is my turn to wait......"
