Chapter 0719: This Is Called War!
When Yang Qi led the scarecrow and the Zamahe warriors to the Zhongjun Point Jiangtai, Cao Bin had already assembled the soldiers of the forbidden army and was waiting for Yang Qi.
Standing on the platform, looking at the crowd below, Yang Qi was full of emotion.
Such a strong soldier and horse, commanded by Zhao Guangyi, is simply a waste.
Yang Qi was wearing a heavy armor, looked at the soldiers in the audience, and said in a deep voice: "Order, the crossbowmen in each army are out of line." ”
"Brush Brush Brush ~"
With Yang Qi's order, nearly 100,000 crossbowmen in the audience stood up together.
Yang Qi said in a deep voice: "The crossbowmen are temporarily assembled into an army, and the generals and colonels at all levels are temporarily served by the Zamahe warriors. ”
After the crossbowmen were assembled, the Zamahe warriors were also assigned to the army as basic generals.
The officers and men in the forbidden army did not dispute this.
This was the norm in all armies of the Great Song Dynasty.
In wartime, generals will bring their own generals to the war, and having the generals serve as the basic generals will make it easier for the generals to control the whole army.
"Order, mobilize 200,000 people, and fight with the crossbowmen."
“……”
"Order, all the crossbowmen, abandon the original bows and crossbows, and use trebuchets against the enemy."
“……”
"Order, trebuchets are only allowed to drop gunpowder shells and fierce fire oil bombs."
“……”
"Order, Tianwu Army, Tianxiong Army, 50,000 shield soldiers in the two armies to fight."
“……”
"Order, gather all the things that can hold water in the whole army, fill them with water, and let the shield soldiers handle them."
“……”
"Order, all the gunpowder in the army will be sent to the hands of the general, and the general will call it uniformly."
“……”
One command after another was conveyed from the point general's platform.
The soldiers of the forbidden army followed Yang Qi's order and moved.
They were surprised to find that from beginning to end, Yang Qi had not conveyed the order of who would attack the city.
After all Yang Qi's orders were delivered.
They finally determined that Yang Qi did not order the mobilization of soldiers and horses to attack the city.
Moreover, of the nearly 700,000 troops, Yang Qi mobilized less than 160,000, and the rest were completely idle by Yang Qi.
Almost all the soldiers in the barracks were puzzled by how Yang Qi would attack Youzhou City.
With doubts, they followed Yang Qi's footsteps and arrived in front of Youzhou City.
"Trebuchet! Put! ”
Rows of trebuchets were neatly placed in front of Youzhou City.
100,000 crossbowmen, the number of trebuchets at their disposal, that's a pretty terrifying number.
Wait until the trebuchet is neatly arranged.
Yang Qi raised his hand and ordered: "All the crossbowmen obey the order, put on the fierce fire oil bomb, only shoot the city wall, and must also shoot the fierce fire oil on the city wall." ”
Filled with fierce fire bombs.
"Put!"
"Whoosh!"
"Put!"
"Whoosh!"
“……”
Nine in a row.
Hundreds of thousands of fierce fire bombs were thrown onto the walls of Youzhou City.
After the unlit fierce fire bomb broke on the city wall, it splashed one after another, and in just a moment, the southern wall of Youzhou City was dyed black.
……
On the head of Youzhou City.
After seeing the trebuchet of the Song army, the Liao army was ready for battle.
When they saw the fire bombs smashing through the walls without hurting them, they burst into laughter.
One by one, they all said that the Song army was really stupid, and the crossbowmen of the Song army should feed the wolves and so on.
Only Han Derang and Yelu Hugo frowned into a Sichuan character.
"Song Jun is going to set fire?"
Han Derang asked with a frown.
Yelu Xiuge nodded and said in a deep voice: "This is not quite in line with the Song army's combat methods. ”
Han Derang wondered, "Why didn't they shoot the fire oil into the city, but instead shot it on the city wall?" Are they going to melt the walls with fire? ”
Yelu Hugo glanced at Han Derang with idiotic eyes, "The thickness of the walls of Youzhou City is far greater than that of Shangjing, and it can be melted by fire?" Not to mention this fierce fire oil, even if it is several times more fierce fire oil, there is still nothing to do with Youzhou City. ”
Han Derang's brows furrowed even deeper, "Then what is Song Jun's intention?" Setting fire to the walls will not do us any harm. Although it will have some impact on the soldiers on the city wall, as long as everyone covers their mouths and noses, it will not have much impact. ”
Yelu Xiuge shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the Song army has planned, go first and let people prepare the sand for extinguishing the fire." ”
In the fifth generation, the fire oil has been widely used on the battlefield, so all countries know how to extinguish the flame of fire oil.
Han Derang immediately sent someone to prepare something to extinguish the fire.
And Yang Qi, who was in the distance, seemed to have guessed what they would do.
I saw Yang Qi straddle the horse's back and smiled coldly, "Extinguish the fire, can you extinguish it?" ”
"Fill the fireball!"
"Put!"
With the release of the fire bomb, on the wall of Youzhou City, a flame was ignited in an instant, and the most ferocious flame was under the city wall.
When the flame is ignited.
Yang Qi ordered again, "Fill the ignited gunpowder bombs and ignited fire oil bombs and shoot them into Youzhou City." I don't care where you shoot, I can't stop. ”
The crossbowman received the order and carried out Yang Qi's order without hesitation.
In order to be able to take the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Guangyi prepared a lot of armaments.
Although there are not enough gunpowder bombs, there are many fierce fire oil bombs.
Then, you can watch the flames cross the border of Youzhou City, fly into the city, smash the homestay and military camp in the city, and then ignite a fire.
Or explode inside, match the flames, and seriously injure more people.
Youzhou City is in chaos.
was only sacrificed by Yang Qi out of the trebuchet, and the person turned on his back.
Before Han Derang could prepare sand and stones to extinguish the flames on the city wall, fires broke out everywhere in the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were in chaos.
Tens of thousands of trebuchets attacked the city, and it was an indiscriminate attack, and the destruction was great.
Some of the baggage and armaments that they placed in positions that are not easy to be valued by trebuchets or not easy to be hit by trebuchets are frequently hit.
This is the uncertainty of indiscriminate attacks, the surprises that bring.
The delivery of the trebuchet, under Yang Qi's strict order, lasted for an hour.
An hour later.
The fire oil on the walls burned out, and the walls became black, red, and white.
The Liao army on the city wall could clearly feel that the city wall was starting to get hot.
However, they have the heart to kill the enemy, but they are unable to do so.
Just like during the Anti-Japanese War in later generations, the party army was also powerless in the face of the bombing of the little devil's plane.
There was no Song army charge, and no one desperately attacked the city.
From beginning to end, it was trebuchets dropping lethal weapons.
And Han Derang sealed the south gate with a boulder, even if the Liao army at the head of the city wanted to rush out and destroy the trebuchet, they couldn't do it.
can only be beaten passively.
Han Derang's face was as black as iron, and he couldn't stand up in the heat of the city, so he stomped his feet frequently and asked Brother Yelu Hugh beside him, "Lord Wang, what should we do?" Let the Song army continue to bombard like this, and the loss of Youzhou City will be even greater than when it fought against the Song army before!
If it continues to be consumed like this, in the end, the Song army is stronger than us, and it will definitely rush up. ”
Jeruhugo frowned and said nothing.
Since he led the troops, he has seen too many tactics, but he has really never seen anything like this that makes trebuchets bombard, but does not send troops to attack the city.
Seeing that Han Derang looked at him stunned and let himself have an idea, Yelu Xiuge muttered: "This king also thinks that the Song army is trying to weaken us, and when the time is ripe, he will rush forward." Go now, send the Overseers, and restrain the soldiers, and the more you get to this point, the more you can't mess up. ”
Han Derang hesitated for a moment, nodded, and went down to carry out Yelu Xiuge's order.
And Yang Qi, who was outside the city, also changed his tactics at this time.
The trebuchets were split in two, and one part continued to drop gunpowder shells and fire oil into the city; The other part, loaded with water bladders, began to bombard the walls.
Now, not to mention that the Liao army can't understand it, even the Song army, who is watching the battle, can't figure it out.
Zhao Pu couldn't care about the humiliation of leading the horse to Yang Qi, he pulled the reins of the horse with one hand, pulled his beard with the other, and asked Yang Qi with a sad face, "Boy...... That's how you fight? You're clearly fooling around. What is the use of setting fire to the walls and splashing them with water? ”
Yang Qi looked like a man with a high face, and said lightly: "You don't understand, just look at it......"
Zhao Pu was not lightly scolded, and he almost didn't drag Yang Qi off the horse.
"Repeat that set!"
Yang Qi ordered again.
Even Cao Bin couldn't help it anymore.
Cao Bin blew his beard and glared: "Boy, marching and fighting is not a joke, there is no ...... to fight like you."
Yang Qi turned a deaf ear, just urging the crossbowmen to continue to carry out his orders.
The burning walls of Youzhou City were hot, and the water was poured on them, and then they flowed down the city walls and into the moat beneath the city.
The water on the city wall will be quickly steamed dry by the blazing city wall.
The crossbowmen controlled the trebuchet, repeatedly carrying out Yang Qi's orders, and no one understood what he was doing.
In Youzhou City, and even outside Youzhou City, the only person who can understand Yang Qi is probably Peng Pai.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
Zhao Guangyi was anxiously circling in circles.
Frequently people spread the details of Yang Qi's siege to his tent.
Hearing Yang Qi messing around like this, Zhao Guangyi almost rushed out and strangled Yang Qi to death.
Fortunately, Zhang Qixian, Li Xin and others stopped them.
In this way, Yang Qi's move, which was considered nonsense, lasted for nearly four hours.
Zhao Guangyi couldn't bear it anymore, and roared and yelled at Zhao Defang, who was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army as a mud bodhisattva: "Go and tell Yang Yansi that little brute, he should make enough trouble, right?" ”
When Zhao Defang heard this, the chick nodded like a peck of rice, and then hurriedly walked out of the big tent to find Yang Qi.
After Zhao Defang found Yang Qi, he leaned in front of Yang Qima with a bitter face and said, "Yang Yansi, Your Majesty asked this king to ask you, have you made enough trouble?" ”
Yang Qi stared at the city wall of Youzhou City, his mouth smacked, and he muttered, "It should be almost ......"
"Order, shield soldiers, with shields on top, rush over with gunpowder bullets, go to the city, cut the wall under the city wall with a short knife, cut as deep as possible, and then bury gunpowder."
"You're crazy!"
Zhao Pu pulled off several beards and glared at Yang Qi with a shocked expression.
Rao is a person who doesn't know much about military affairs, and he also knows how strong the walls of Youzhou City are.
It was a city wall made of blue bricks, so thick that the swords wanted to cut through it?
Joke.
Yang Qi used his attitude to tell Zhao Pu that he was not joking.
"Carry out the orders of this general and be responsible for the disposition of military law."
The shield soldiers glanced at each other with sad faces, and then helplessly carried the heavy shield, formed a huge steel wall above their heads, carried gunpowder bullets, and rushed towards the city wall of Youzhou City.
"Song Jun is here!"
"Song Jun is here!"
“……”
The Liao army, which had been burned by the smoke and fire for a day, screamed one by one when they saw the shield soldiers moving towards Youzhou City.
They were burned by the smoke and fire for a day, and their hearts were full of resentment, and when they saw the Song army attacking the city, they naturally wanted to let out this evil breath.
"Archers, prepare to defend against the enemy!"
The archers raised their bows and arrows, saw the shield soldiers forming the steel fortress under the city, and then looked helplessly at the general who gave the order.
The toughest shield soldiers in the Song army's forbidden army were thicker than the Song army's foot armor.
Bows and arrows were helpless against them.
"They're not here to siege the city!"
From the defensive posture of the shield soldiers, Yelu Hugo could easily judge the intentions of the Song army.
Han Derang's face flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "What does Song Jun mean? ”
Jeruhugo shook his head, he hadn't figured it out until now.
The fortress of the forbidden shield soldiers kept approaching the wall of Youzhou City, and when they arrived under the city wall, the Liao army on the city wall threw down the rolling wood and other weapons to greet them.
However, the shield soldiers blindly defended, did not return fire, and ignored the Liao army at the head of the city.
After paying the lives of hundreds of brothers, they approached the city wall, and then used heavy shields under the city wall to form an arc of shield like fish scales, which was buckled upside down on the city wall.
The Liao army's rolling wood and other weapons were easily slid down when they smashed on the shield.
The soldiers of the forbidden army under the shield, although they disagreed with the stupid approach of Yang Qi's orders, but a military order is a military order.
Armed with long knives, they slashed at the city walls.
And then......
Then they were stunned.
Then I was shocked.
"Cut in?"
"Youzhou City is made of tofu?"
"Don't worry so much, execute the order quickly."
“……”
So, one by one, the soldiers of the forbidden army dug under the city with long knives.
They didn't stop until they couldn't dig anymore.
Even so, they dug nearly three feet in.
"Set off gunpowder bombs, according to General Yang's orders, fifty in a pile, stacked together."
“……”
After the gunpowder bombs were piled together.
A fire was lit.
Then in the stunned eyes of the Liao soldiers at the head of the city, the shield soldiers held their shields, turned around and ran.
"What's going on?"
The Liao army looked dazed.
When Jeruxiu looked down at the city, his face changed greatly.
The city wall of Youzhou City is slope-shaped, and standing on the head of the city, you can easily see that the city wall has been dug in.
"Run!"
Jeruxiugo yelled.
The Liao soldiers looked at Yelu Huge with a blank expression.
When Han Derang heard these two words, he asked his guards to protect him, and dragged Yelu Hugo to run back.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
“……”
A series of explosions.
There was a puff of smoke and dust, and rubble was scattered.
The walls of Youzhou City did not collapse, but it fell apart in half at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was as if someone had scraped a piece of it with a knife.
And this piece is precisely the most critical part of the defense of the city wall.
The soldiers of the Liao army, one by one, were planted under the city along the sliding city wall like dumplings, and then buried by rubble.
"Boom~"
The wall slanted, but it didn't fall.
But all the Liao troops in the city knew that Youzhou City was breached.
Having lost the most powerful protective side of the city wall, the wall was slanted again, and the Liao army was simply unable to fight on it.
They can only ensure that they do not fall by holding on to the protruding part of the city wall on the other side.
The nearly 700,000 soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty watched this scene happen as if they were watching a miracle.
They didn't think that the war could be so big, and they didn't think that Youzhou City, which they couldn't break through with all their efforts, was broken like this.
There is no more ambitious scene than the non-stop throwing of trebuchets.
It's not even as good as any of their previous attacks on Youzhou City.
However, Youzhou City was so broken.
Yang Qi sat on horseback, stretched out his hands, stretched his waist, and grinned: "Look! That's how the city was broken! A city defended by nearly 400,000 enemies can be easily taken with only a few hundred troops lost.
This is war! ”
After saying this, Yang Qi left a group of soldiers of the forbidden army who were either staring at him or staring at the walls of Youzhou City, stunned, and walked away in style.
The scarecrows and Zamahe warriors who were assigned to go down quickly gathered together and left with Yang Qi.
"Goo~"
It was Cao Bin who reacted first, and after he secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he shouted hoarsely at the soldiers of the forbidden army behind him, "The city is broken, kill it!" Capture Han Derang alive! ”
"Kill!"
