Chapter 634: The Beginning of the Killing

Zhao Shuo's target this time is Uzgen, which is located northwest of the stone tower. It's not a city, it's more like a bunker.

Located at a pass in the Pamirs, it is a small open basin to the west and rugged mountains to the east.

This Uzgen has a completely one-man posture that is incomprehensible.

"Your Majesty, this Uzgen is difficult to fight, otherwise, I think it's better to go north, Kashgar over there should be easier." After being educated by Zhao Shuo, Yong Xie Bu, who had already surrendered, put forward his own opinion.

"What do you think?" Zhao Shuo looked at the others.

"Your Majesty, according to our investigation, there are almost 40,000 troops in this Uzgen, and there is plenty of food and grass, if it is a hard attack, it will be difficult." Mo Qi said.

"Your Majesty, with my 3,000 soldiers and horses, I am willing to go and try how the defense of this Mongolia is." was asked by Zhao Shuo to keep an eye on it again and again, and finally Tuoba Hong, who had no choice but to take it with him, also spoke at this time.

"Wei Yan, what weapons did you bring with you when you came out this time, tell me about it." Zhao Shuo chuckled.

What kind of weapon is there, Zhao Shuo naturally knows that when he says it at this time, he deliberately gives it to Yong Xie Bu and Tuoba Hong.

"Back to Your Majesty, because I came out in a hurry, I didn't bring many things, there were dozens of newly produced submachine guns, there were dozens of muskets, there were enough bullets, enough small shells, and the artillery was not brought because of the tight time, plus the high altitude here." Wei Yan replied honestly.

"Okay, that's enough." After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo looked at Tuoba Hong, and then at Yong Xie Bu. "Mongolia belongs to the nomadic people, the army is troubled cavalry, I really have to be careful when it comes to the confrontation between the two armies, but when it is the turn of this siege and fortification, and give them to you for a few hundred years, they can't compare to me."

Zhao Shuo's words are punns, he is talking about Mongolia, but there are a lot of Western Xia.

"Your Majesty wants to fight here?" Yong Xie Bu was not convinced. Although he had already surrendered to Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo belittled Mongolia, and he was still unwilling to accept it.

"What kind of Kashgar you are talking about, I have no interest, this Uzgen, I must take it." Zhao Shuo gave an affirmative answer.

"Your Majesty, you just give the order, how to fight, I will arrange it immediately." Wei Yan who spoke.

After Zhao Shuo decided to start fighting, Tuoba Hong automatically closed his mouth, words can be said casually, but things cannot be done casually. Moreover, he also wanted to know how Zhao Shuo wanted to attack Uzgen, a mountain fortress in Mongolia.

"Go and transfer two thousand soldiers, remember, everyone with submachine guns, must join this team." Zhao Shuo gave simple instructions.

"Your Majesty, there are no less than 40,000 troops in Uzgen, the book of war is on the clouds, the strength of the besieging side must be 1.5 times that of the defending side, before the siege can attack the city, the enemy army is 40,000, and our army is nearly 60,000. Yongsheb spoke at this time;

With 20,000 men, it is necessary to capture Uzgen, which is too indifferent to the Mongol army, which is simply naked contempt.

Yong Xie Bu was unhappy, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to let Zhao Shuo increase his troops.

At the very least, if there were more of them, the Mongols would have been able to find a suitable reason to retreat after the capture of Uzgen.

"Yong Xie Bu, look at that Uzgen, built between two mountains, has Liu Wan's army set aside? 60,000 people rushed up, all of them were live targets, and they were not attacking the city, but sending them to death. After saying Yong Xie Bu, Zhao Shuo said to Wei Yan, you go down and prepare, when you are ready, come and call me.

Wei Yan was sent down, and then, Zhao Shuo looked at the remaining three. "Three, let's make a bet, I will use these two thousand troops to attack Uzgen, if I am lucky to take it, in the future, the three of them will be completely attached to me, those who are careful or something, don't use it anymore, if I fail, or unfortunately hang here, then the matter will be simple, you can do whatever you want, I can't control it."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo glanced at the three of them. "How?"

"Your Majesty, you have promised me that after the end of the war, let me be a rich man and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and now if I gamble with Your Majesty, isn't this a contradiction?" Mo Qi was the first to speak. "Although the number of people is not large, with the mind of His Majesty, it is certain that a big victory will be returned."

Mo Qi expressed his attitude that he could win, and he also said his thoughts, not betting.

Unlike Mo Qi, Tuoba Hong was quite contradictory at this time, he hoped that Western Xia could get rid of Zhao Shuo's control, and hoped that Zhao Shuo would have an accident, but if Zhao Shuo had an accident, the big tree of the Great Song Dynasty would fall, so that Mongolia would inevitably be a dominant family, and when the time came, the Western Xia, which was free from the control of the Great Song Dynasty, would definitely fall into the hands of Mongolia.

I don't want to be controlled by the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't want to be trampled by Mongolia, the tangled Tuoba Hong has always been so entangled.

"Huh...... Either way, no matter what. "Knowing that it is not a way to keep entangled, Tuoba Hong decided to let God decide this time." Your Majesty, the ministers dare to bet with you. ”

If Zhao Shuo won, Tuoba Hong decided to be loyal to Zhao Shuo, and if Zhao Shuo lost, he would immediately return to Western Xia to prepare for the arrival of the Mongol army.

"In other words, you're betting on me to lose, right?" Zhao Shuo smiled at Tuoba Hong.

Tuoba Hong gritted his teeth and nodded. "If the army is defeated, I hope that Your Majesty will order a retreat as soon as possible and return safely."

These words are the truth of Tuoba Hong. Whether it was for Western Xia or personal reasons, he didn't want anything to happen to Zhao Shuo.

"What about you?" Zhao Shuo looked at Yong Xie Bu.

"It's impossible, it's impossible to meet this kind of battle." Yongsheb shook his head and made his choice.

"Okay, since everyone has made a choice, let's come out and take a look!" Zhao Shuo took the lead, and everyone left the camp together.

In front of the camp tent, Wei Yan had already gathered two thousand troops, and was about to report to Zhao Shuo at this moment, when he saw Zhao Shuo coming out, Wei Yan came to Zhao Shuo and said. "Your Majesty, the army has been assembled, but this time it is dangerous, the last general asks for an order to go for Your Majesty."

"Alright, you can wait a little longer." Zhao Shuo patted Wei Yan on the shoulder. The meteor strode towards the assembled army.

Coming to the front of the army, Zhao Shuo began to lecture. "Warriors, go to Uzgen of the Mongols, what kind of fortress is it, I don't believe it, I, the Great Song Dynasty warriors, can't I take such a broken grass shell?"

Hearing Zhao Shuo's words, the two thousand troops all laughed, and then shouted loudly.

"You can take it!"

"You can take it!"

……

Zhao Shuo pressed his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and after calming down, he continued. "It's no problem to take it, this time, I personally command, as long as you have firm faith and move forward bravely, this Uzgen will be broken by me in an instant."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "Listen to orders! Let's go! ”

Zhao Shuo led the army to set off, and during the march, from a soldier with a submachine gun, he asked for muskets and bullets on his back, and collected some bullets from the rest of the soldiers with submachine guns.

The submachine gun is to charge into battle, Zhao Shuo is afraid of death, or in other words, he can't die now, so he won't do such a dangerous thing.

But take a musket, five hundred meters away, meow accurately, sneak attack, he still has to do.

The army set off in such a bright way, which naturally could not hide from the eyes of the Mongols, and soon, the walls of Uzgen were covered with soldiers.

Seeing that the Song army had only sent 2,000 people, the Mongols shook their heads one after another, completely unsightly.

This Uzgen, but they spent many years to build, not to mention 2,000 people, it is 20,000 people. They are also sure to hold on.

On the city wall, 5,000 troops were left to defend, and the rest of the Mongol soldiers went down to rest.

In the eyes of the Mongols, it was perfectly fine for five thousand to defend against two thousand.

Zhao Shuo, who was still a kilometer away from the city wall, made a gesture to stop advancing, and then began to assign tasks.

"Brothers, it's time for us to attack, and after a while, all the brothers with submachine guns, suppress the fire, and hit me hard at the people on the city wall, don't care about the ammunition, until the fight is gone."

"The brothers of the submachine gun strive to be able to suppress within fifty meters and create opportunities for the brothers behind them."

"The brother behind him, with good marksmanship, can hit the enemy at a distance of 500 meters, 300 meters, or 200 meters. Remember, these people are going to fight those who the Mongols may have black guns, and those who are hiding, waiting for a sudden attack, so keep your eyes shining, you are the protectors of the brothers in front of you, and their lives are on you. ”

"Then, the rest of the men, following the stormtroopers, attacked as they went, and after rushing to within fifty meters, they threw all the small shells, remember, all the small shells, into the city of Uzgen in one go."

After passing on the battle plan, Zhao Shuo asked again. "Do you remember them all?"

"Remember!" The word is unanimous.

Zhao Shuo was about to give the order to attack, when suddenly the deputy general ran out, and he asked weakly. "With so many small shells thrown in together, the Mongols are gone, and the city is gone, isn't the price too great?"

For this benevolent lieutenant, Zhao Shuo said a word. "You can go home and pick up the baby."

The adjutant left in embarrassment, and of course, he did not return to the barracks, but followed the army, ready for the storm.

"Attack!" Zhao Shuo gave an order, and the two thousand troops rushed forward and rushed towards Uzgen.

In the face of the onrushing Song army, the Mongols looked disdainful, they raised their guns and prepared for the attack.

"Hit!" It was Long Jiu who spoke, and when he was still eight hundred meters away from the city wall, Zhao Shuo gave the order.

At this distance, the attacks of submachine guns and muskets were completely inaccurate, but what Zhao Shuo wanted at this time was not to kill, but to momentum.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Shuo's side attacked, the Mongols were stunned, and they began to counterattack after complaining.

After the distance of five hundred meters, the two sides began to damage each other, but the damage on Zhao Shuo's side was generally minor injuries, which were rubbed and touched, while on the Mongolian side, in the face of Zhao Shuo's incomparably concentrated firepower, it was quickly suppressed.

Mongolia has muskets, but these are all bought from the Great Song Dynasty, although they imitate a batch, but the quality is too poor.

But on this kind of poor quality musket, Mongolia did not reach a person, this kind of musket, most of the supply to the Mongolian westward attack team, to Uzgen like a place where birds do not, Mu Tuo and Ben did not think that it would be attacked, so there are only a few dozen muskets here, which is also one of the reasons why Mongolia caused very little damage to the Great Song army.

After all, if the 5,000 Mongols were holding muskets in their hands, standing on top of the city tower, condescendingly, and shooting at the Great Song army, it was really difficult to say who would win and who would lose.

Seeing that the Mongolian army was suppressed, Zhao Shuo's heart was overjoyed, and his nervous expression relaxed.

But even so, Zhao Shuo still did not take it lightly, he stopped at a distance of five hundred meters, held his gun, aimed at the wall of Uzgen, as long as there was a head, he would attack.

The Song army marksmen were constantly scattered at the distance they could attack, but more people were unstoppable, their weapons were constantly firing, bullets and bullets, and they were rushing to within fifty meters of the city wall at the fastest distance to end the battle.

The Mongol army was very open and mobilized more soldiers to rush up the city wall, and although they were completely suppressed, these soldiers still came prepared, and they braved their bodies, bent their bows and arrows, and shot out like locusts.

"I'll go, and this trick." Thousands of arrows were shot together, which was terrifying, Zhao Shuo shouted. "Small cannonballs, if they can be thrown on the city wall, throw them at me immediately, and if they still can't go up, throw them at the gate."

The first round of arrows will inevitably cause damage to the Song army, and there is no doubt that what Zhao Shuo can do now is to prevent the second wave of arrows from appearing.

The first wave of arrows inflicted death on Zhao Shuo's army and hundreds of hand wounds, but only this wave of the Mongols was happy.

Because next, the small cannonballs of the Song army suddenly enveloped the entire city wall.

Thrown on the city wall, the bombed Mongolian army ghosts cried wolf, and the bricks and stones thrown on the city wall were splashed, and the broken wood was scattered on the city gate.

"Rush down and fight with the Mongols."

"Kill!"

……

The Song army, which was irritated by a wave of Mongolian arrows, rushed forward shouting slogans.

At first, there weren't many small cannonballs rushing up the walls, but as the distance got closer, more and more small cannonballs landed on the walls.

There was already a sea of fire above the city wall, and looking at the standing city wall, I don't know who shouted. "Let's throw small cannonballs together and blow up this wall."

As soon as these words came out, half of the small cannonballs beckoned towards the base of the city wall, and all the submachine guns and muskets were also fired at the same time.

The soldiers in the rear still threw small cannonballs at the city wall, which caused the Mongol army to have no chance to fight back.

The effort paid off, and with the constant attacks of small cannonballs, submachine guns and muskets, the city wall finally collapsed after crumbling for a while.

The red-eyed Song army rushed into the city, small cannonballs, submachine guns, and muskets continued to attack, and the siege battle turned into a massacre.
