The bamboo raft drifting in the river was originally a very poetic thing, how many literati and ink writers would make a good poem because of this situation, but the current situation, I am afraid that these literati will not have such a good mood, tens of thousands of troops are ready to go, with the sound of artillery stopped, the army began to move towards the opposite bank, attacking Xiangyang.

The face of the seed master was calm, looking at the ruins and broken walls on the opposite side, just let the war horses trample on the bamboo raft, the army slowly killed towards Xiangyang City, in front, there was already a shout of killing, the Song army under the command of Liu Qi, on the shore set a large array, the archers in front, with the approach of the Tang army, countless bows and arrows flew out, towards the Tang army.

The Tang army was not afraid, the infantry in front of them held up their shields to defend against these bows and arrows, and occasionally, there were still bursts of screams, and the Tang soldiers also fell into the water, or were swept away by the river, or barely dragged the bamboo raft, waiting for the robe to come to the rescue, and the whole battlefield was chaotic.

"Order the artillery to open fire and suppress the walls." Seed Master Dao frowned, and the soldiers behind him began to wave the command flag to the artillery battalion behind him, although there were many enemies in front of him, he thought that this was a wrong way to send troops to deploy the formation, and he just used artillery to wipe out these people.

"These damn guys, they still want to go ashore and die for me. Give me death. Liu Qi stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, and as soon as the arrow flew out, he shot a Tang army to death, and his face showed a trace of pride.

"Boom! Rumble! However, at this time, there were bursts of artillery in the distance, but it was the Tang army that carried out artillery bombardment again, and the poor Song army under the city wall did not expect that the Tang army would shell the position in this case, and there were countless casualties for a while.

"The hateful Seed Master Dao is so shameless, and he still uses artillery at this time, isn't he afraid that his soldiers will be injured by artillery?" Liu Qi, who fled into the city, said loudly, his old face was dripping with blood, but he was injured by a stone, although the injury was not serious, but it was finally broken, which made Liu Qi very angry.

"The enemy obviously made preparations in advance to hit so accurately, but the enemy's artillery also has a range, as long as it is south of the city wall, the enemy's artillery cannot hit it." Shi Lei was also a little worried, but still explained.

"Is it really just a street fight?" Liu Qi's face was stunned, and he suddenly became a little nervous, the Tang army is brave and good at fighting, his prestige is all killed, with the natural danger of the moat, he can still resist one or two, but if it is a street battle, he does not dare to guarantee whether he can defeat the Tang army.

"Now only street fighting can resist the attack of the Tang army." Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although nearly a thousand people died in one breath, it meant that Liu Qi no longer dared to let the people in the city take the risk of repairing the city wall, although the street fighting was cruel, but it was only a battle between soldiers and soldiers, and it had nothing to do with the people of Limin, at least the people in the city would not have many casualties, which was probably rare good news.

"Let the young and strong people in the city be organized, we have very few people, and we can only use these people to resist." Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe it, he can't really slaughter the city." If the people in the city want to live, they must pick up the swords and guns in their hands and deal with Li Jing, otherwise, they will be traitors to my Great Song Dynasty, traitors to the enemy, and they will all be killed. ”

Liu Qi gritted his teeth, which made Shi Lei on the side frightened, and he didn't know what to do for a while. I didn't expect Liu Qi to be crazy to such a point, let the young people in the city join the ranks of defense, let these people work hard, although they can increase their own troops, but how much effect it can have is unknown.

"It is inevitable that all the old and weak in the city will be sent to the barracks, and if the young and strong cannot kill the enemy, these old and weak will be killed by the enemy, this is a certain thing, do you think?" Liu Qi suddenly sighed, glanced at Shi Lei, and said: "General Shi, the matter has come to this, and it can only be like this, for the sake of Xiangyang City, for our Great Song Dynasty, even if there is more infamy, you and I can only bear it." ”

Shi Lei felt unprecedentedly cold, Liu Qi's move is not not vicious, but there is no way to solve it, but now that the enemy is about to enter, is there still a chance to make such a vicious plan? Shi Lei didn't even know about himself.

"The enemy has entered the city, and I am invincible." Liu Qi suddenly raised the sword in his hand, pointed to the moat in the distance and said loudly: "Behead the third level, reward a thousand dollars, kill me!" ”

The soldiers in the city were moved by Liu Qi's promise, their faces were full of excitement, the military salary of the Southern Song Dynasty has always been very low, especially some of the box army, although Liu Qi's soldiers and horses were incorporated into the ranks of the forbidden army, but the predecessors were all box army, and the military salary enjoyed was also the salary of the box army, Qianguan is still a large amount, even if it is put now, it is also a heart-warming price.

Although the Tang army in front of him claimed to be undefeated, extremely fierce and brutal, and the Song army did not know how many people died in the hands of the other party, but the money was moving, and under the command of Liu Qi, countless soldiers swarmed forward and killed the Tang army.

Although the Tang army crossed the moat on a bamboo raft, it was not through the suspension bridge to come to the bright light, the steep slope by the moat also became a defense of Xiangyang City, the army will inevitably have problems when advancing, and it will not be neat, which brings a trace of advantage to the Song army, Shi Lei personally led his own soldiers, risking the danger to rush to the front.

At this time, because the Tang army had already gone ashore and some had already entered the city gate, although the power of the artillery was very great, the army did not dare to fire it, so as not to injure its own people by mistake, and only at this time could the army's skills be tested.

"Quickly assemble the ranks and prepare for the attack, with spearmen coming forward, broadswordsmen behind, and archers lasting." Wu Song's voice sounded under the city gate, the enemy in the distance had been killed, Wu Song's side was short of manpower, he needed to rectify more troops, and give full play to the strong combat effectiveness of the Tang army, in order to gain a firm foothold under Xiangyang City, and finally defeat the enemy and capture Xiangyang.

"Whoever kills the enemy's general will be promoted to the third rank." Liu Qi soon found out that Wu Song under the city, and hurriedly gave the order to attack, the other party was not a teacher, and the evil aura on his body made Liu Qi tremble, he immediately knew that the other party was probably not a person to be messed with, so he simply ordered everyone to go up together to kill Wu Song. In the end, he is a veteran, and he will know at once where the weakness of the Tang army is, as long as he kills Wu Song, the first wave of the Tang army's attack will come to naught. There is still plenty of time to reorganize the defenses yourself.
