If it weren't for the excessively high requirements, the bombardment accuracy of the Song army's artillery was enough, and the compound before and after the state capital of Nuoda, with hundreds of tall and low houses, it was a little difficult to directly decapitate and kill Zhehu, but it was very simple for him to be frightened.

Zhehu was really frightened when he was woken up by a cannonball at night, a shell exploded under the eaves of his residence, killing two guards on duty at night, not counting, a piece of shrapnel flew through the window into the inner room, penetrated the neck of the concubine who was sleeping beside him, and when he woke up, he was bleeding all over the ground and could not be saved.

Hiding in a dark and cold corner, Zhehu knew what fear was, he didn't know when the shells fell, let alone where the shells fell, and after each round of violent explosions, the interval was even more difficult.

Finally, when the Song army was no longer firing, the entire courtyard was full of burning flames, trees, houses, furniture, etc., because everyone was dodging the shell bombardment and no one was going to put out the fire, and a little fire could be burned into a fire.

The Daxing Mansion was destroyed overnight, and hundreds of people died from last night's shelling, which was nothing compared to the more than 2,000 shells fired by the Song army, but the sense of fear that was conveyed was the greatest gain. A message was conveyed to the Yuan army very clearly, as long as we have ideas, there is no absolutely safe place in Daxing City, and the fate of the government is the best example, and the next time it may be a military camp, a horse farm, a warehouse, it may be anywhere.

When the sense of crisis stationed in the city became stronger and stronger, not only Zhehu felt extremely depressed and uncomfortable, but his generals asked for help and took the initiative to lead the army out of the city to fight the Song army, preferring to die on the battlefield rather than die in their sleep.

Before the start of the first large-scale battle outside the city, the army led by Zhao Tianyou also drove to Daxingfu, and more than 200,000 Song troops were stationed in the southwest of Daxingfu, and a village called Chenjiazhen became the station of the Song army's camp.

With so many troops concentrated in this plain, there was neither natural danger to use nor artificially built city defenses, so the Song army arranged the army one by one, and put on a posture of starting a decisive battle with the Yuan army here.

If it was changed in the past, the Yuan army only needed to send 20,000 elite cavalry to kill seven in and seven out of the Song army's camp, which was the case more than two years ago, and the 20,000 yuan army would not hesitate to go to war directly in the face of the 100,000 Song army.

But now the Song army has set up camp on the plain, and the cavalry squads sent every day have made no secret of their tracks, and have regarded the surrounding area as their own backyard, and the Yuan army that is not in Daxing Mansion at all, even the scout messengers who go back and forth between Daxing Mansion and Yuan Dadu, must always be on guard against the sneak attack of the Song army's squad.

Kublai Khan was paying attention to the progress of the war every day in the capital of Yuan, and he was also curious why the Song army did not further encircle Daxingfu and directly cut off the communication between the two cities, so as to gradually encroach on one city and one place, and then form a strategic encirclement of Yuan Dadu.

If Kublai Khan is replaced to attack, it will definitely be fought step by step, and the Song army has been grinding since Bazhou, and I don't know if it is unwilling to fight a large-scale battle, or if there is something unprepared.

Kublai Khan thought of this and was tempted again, he lost so many lives when he besieged Bazhou, and finally did not test the size of the Song army's stockpile of gunpowder and shells, it was really like the Yuan soldiers privately spread it at that time, and the Song army's shells could never be finished, so this battle basically did not have to be fought.

As soon as the thought in his heart moved, Kublai Khan immediately dispatched troops and sent a strong army that had just come from the northwest to support, this tribe used to be adjacent to the Western Xia, and was hunted down and bullied by the Western Xia for many years, and after the Yuan destroyed the Western Xia, he surrendered to the Mongols.

They have not yet fought with the Song army, do not know the power of the Song army's artillery, belong to the state of the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, this battle can be used as the vanguard army to charge the camp, just to find out the Song army's hole cards in such a formation on the plain.

At the same time, Kublai Khan ordered the Zhehu Department of Daxing Prefecture to cooperate with this army from the flank, and if possible, to capture a few gates from the Song army's camp, then it should be regarded as the first achievement. If you can grab the cannons and shells of the Song army, it is not just an ordinary promotion to a knight, Kublai Khan also has a reward of thousands of miles of fiefdom, and it is not difficult to be a prince of the opposite sex.

The new recruits must have been stimulated, they belonged to the Western Xia to live in the bullying, living and multiplying along the rivers that were not wealthy, being suppressed by various forces, and not getting a better living environment.

If they can get the fief from Kublai Khan, for their hundreds of thousands of people, it is simply a stroke of luck to the head, a piece of land that can survive and recuperate, is their dream all day long, of course, it is worth fighting to death.

The Song Army Headquarters in Chenjia Town was originally a small inn on the cross street of the town, and the business was not good, but the surrounding people fled for their lives during the war, and this place also became an unattended place, which happened to be occupied by Zhao Tianyou.

A room of young generals is divided into two parts to start a debate, Zhao Tianyou and Du Hu are watching with teacups, and the main topic they discuss is whether the tactical status of artillery should be lowered to a lower level when mobile combat on the plains, focusing on improving the equipment and number of crossbowmen to deal with the charging tactics of the Yuan cavalry.

This kind of debate does not mean to distinguish between superior and inferior, nor does it mean that the views of one side are absolutely correct, but under the pressure of this general environment, the minds of the generals of these years have been further activated, so that each of them can consider the problem from multiple angles.

"How do you want to fight this battle? The name of this meat grinder plan, if Kublai Khan hears it, I'm afraid that he will send troops to flee back to the Mongolian steppe overnight, and we can't catch up with them at that time, so we will start strangling the troops of the Yuan army in Daxingfu? ”

Zhao Tianyou nodded slightly, his attention was on the young general who was debating, Du Hu only listened to half of his words, and did not answer at the moment, waiting for Qu Liu's speech before turning his head to answer Du Hu.

"Well, Kublai Khan can't escape, he must stay in Yuan Dadu, and these troops he transferred must all stay here, and none of them can leave."

Du Hu hummed softly, but Zhao Tianyou also understood that he didn't understand, and there were also young generals around him who also didn't understand Zhao Tianyou's behavior. Sometimes killing people is like slaughtering chickens, no matter how many people are killed, they will not even blink their eyes, but sometimes they seem hesitant to give up important actions because they may endanger the safety of the people.

"Lao Du, there are some countries and nationalities, you need to fight a little harder, fight harder, if you can destroy them all, it doesn't matter! It is to let them remember that no matter how the world changes, they should never be the enemy of Huaxia! ”
