Chapter 459: Dawn (3)
At the end of the day, the horizon shows a brilliant dawn. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The soldiers who had already lined up neatly were waiting silently.
In the Chinese military tent, Cai Siwei, who had excitement on his face, was also waiting for His Royal Highness the King of Wei to issue an order for a general attack.
Wu Shaogang's expression was still calm, but his hands were clenched.
"Let's start attacking, Cai Siwei, remember, capture Haizhou Prefecture City as quickly as possible."
The Dingkun cannon began to roar, the earth began to tremble, and the sound of a tidal wave of shouts also appeared.
。。。
Ali Hague was on the city wall, and when the artillery of the Song army began to roar, Ali Hague was surrounded by the guards around him and went down the city wall, it was too dangerous on the city wall.
The guards did this with good intentions to avoid any accidents in Ali Hague, but the impact of this move was something that the guards did not expect, and the sergeants in charge of garrisoning on the city wall, after Ali Hague left, thought of not how to resist the attack of the Song army at all, but desperately dodged, not to be swallowed up by the Song army's artillery.
On the city wall, there are almost no stubborn Mongolian soldiers, and some of these stubborn Mongolian soldiers are temporarily recruited people in the city, when the sound of artillery sounds, most of them are so frightened that they pee their pants, not to mention sticking to the city wall, it is very difficult to even stand up.
The sergeants desperately made their way to the bottom of the city walls, all they thought of was to dodge the artillery, and the task of holding the city had little to do with them.
Some of the sergeants of the Mongolian army also followed these people and rushed towards the city wall, even if the officer pulled out the steel knife, it had no effect, in fact, these officers were not satisfied in their hearts, when the deputy marshal Ali Hague was surrounded by personal guards and left the city wall, they also had a shadow in their hearts.
Less than half an hour of artillery bombardment, the walls were almost empty.
The artillery of the Song army is also strange, the focus is to bombard the city wall, the cannonball did not extend to the city, so leaving the city wall and dodging far away, it can still save his life.
At this moment, Ali Hague has returned to the official office, and he doesn't know the situation on the city wall at all.
The breath of despair has completely spread among the army, almost no one wants to resist desperately, the Song army in Sichuan does not kill prisoners, and even allows physically strong prisoners to enter the army of the Song army, this matter has long been reported in the Mongolian army, not only the new annexed army, but even the Mongolian iron cavalry is aware.
If you can surrender and save your life, why resist desperately when there is no hope.
。。。
At the end of the day, the brigade finally began to charge Haizhou City.
In this charge, Cai Siwei dispatched 8,000 people, leaving only 2,000 people as a reserve, and as for the remaining 10,000 sergeants of the Dingkun Army, they can also participate in the charge at critical moments.
Eight thousand soldiers roared angrily and rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and after setting up the ladder, there was no reaction from the city wall.
The soldiers who charged in front couldn't believe all this, and it was difficult for the Mongolian army to give up resistance.
Soon there were soldiers along the ladder, climbed the city wall, the sound of the sword impact appeared, it seems that there are still Mongolian soldiers stationed on the city wall, but the sound of the sword impact is very short, less than a quarter of an hour disappeared, and more soldiers climbed the city wall, seeing that the city wall has been controlled by the black torrent...
Cai Siwei, who organized the attack, saw this scene, his body began to tremble, and he finally understood the arrangements and deployments of His Royal Highness King Wei, why he did not launch a general attack yesterday, to say that it was impossible to say that such a situation could not have happened yesterday.
Seeing that the siege battle was unusually smooth, Cai Siwei did not waste time at all, and led the remaining 2,000 soldiers to gallop away in the direction of the south gate on horseback.
。。。
Zhang Jue is ready to carry it to the death, yesterday's battle, the casualties were close to 10,000 soldiers, and the loss of about 20% of the troops, if this situation is put on the other Song army, the team is afraid that it will collapse long ago.
The Mongol iron cavalry was indeed strong, and so was its commander, Hedan.
However, Zhang Jue believes that the soldiers under his command are more powerful and will definitely be able to resist the attack of the Mongol army.
In the early morning, when the 20,000 soldiers led by Chang Mingquan arrived, Zhang Jue was ecstatic, with the addition of 20,000 fresh troops, he even had the idea of defeating the Mongolian army, but fortunately, Chang Mingquan reminded him that His Royal Highness the King of Wei meant that to stop the advance of the Mongolian reinforcements, and the rest of the aspects should not be considered for the time being, let alone a comprehensive counteroffensive.
Looking at the brilliant dawn on the horizon and listening to the rumbling drums at the front of the position, Zhang Jue issued an order to resist the attack of the Mongolian army, although he was a little unwilling, why couldn't he take the initiative to charge the Mongolian reinforcements, but he had to wait until they launched an attack before starting to resist, wouldn't this have always been passive.
Chang Mingquan didn't know the situation, so he could only remind Zhang Jue to obey the orders of His Royal Highness King Wei, after all, the battlefield was not far from Haizhou City, and if there was any new order, the herald would come soon to give it.
Although Zhang Jue was a little unwilling, he was still strict in carrying out the order, and he issued the same order, resisting the Mongolian reinforcements to the death, not allowing them to move forward, and it was impossible for the Mongolian reinforcements to approach the city of Haizhou.
。。。
Hedan was once again surrounded by depression.
On a new day, Hedan was holding back his strength, thinking that through one or two charges, he would completely crush the front of the Song army.
The sound of artillery came from Mao, which made Hedan nervous, he knew that Ali Hague, who was stationed in Haizhou Prefecture, was in great danger, if the army could not go to the aid smoothly, Ali Hague would be difficult to resist, Mo Ge and Ha Bichi both said that the artillery of the Song army was unusually brave, and it was by no means comparable to the return artillery, and the emperor had also issued an order to find out what the situation of the Song army's artillery was, but unfortunately so far, the emperor and the court did not know.
The first charge was quickly blocked by the Song army, and Hedan's eyes were full of anger, and he hated not to kill the officer who led the charge, but seeing the officer kneeling in front of him covered in blood, Hedan really couldn't start.
In the second round of charge, Hedan personally commanded and beat the drum with a drumstick, hoping to break through the Song army's defense line in one fell swoop.
However, Hedan, who personally hammered the drum and watched the sergeants charge, was still disappointed, and the rounds of charges were stubbornly repelled by the Song army, and the front cast by the Song army was still an iron wall.
Hedan really doesn't understand, he has a clear advantage in terms of strength, why can't he break through the front of the Song army, after yesterday's battle, the casualties of the Song army are obviously very large, and it is said that today will not be able to support for a long time.
When the third round of charge was launched, Hedan was already on the war horse, and if this charge still could not succeed, he was ready to lead the charge himself.
。。。
In the military tent, Wu Shaogang's face already showed a look of relief.
The heralds constantly reported on the situation on both sides of the battlefield.
There is no doubt that the city of Haizhou was captured, and the Mongolian reinforcements led by the Mongolian prince Hedan could not rush to the aid of Haizhou City, it should be said that at this time, the overall campaign deployment has been tilted towards Wu Shaogang, and when Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court understand everything, I am afraid that there will be no time to correct.
When the army began to attack the city of Haizhou, Hao Jing and Zhang Wenqian both put forward suggestions, they put forward different views around the matter of Wu Shaogang said about the steamed bun, both of them believed that it would be more practical to completely defeat the Mongolian army reinforcements led by Hedan, or even to exterminate the Mongolian army on this road, and the army of the Great Yuan Dynasty is currently attacking Lin'an City, which is still not a short distance from Shandong, and the army of Zhengnan controls a lot of places, such as Jingnan Road, Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road and Lianghuai and other places, if you want to exterminate the southern army, it means that the army must run long distances, and there are many places that need to be pacified.
Whether it is Wu Shaogang, or Hao Jing and Zhang Wenqian and others, they are all waiting for a news, that is, the news of the demise of the Great Song Dynasty, the army led by Ah Shu to conquer the south, its purpose is to completely exterminate the Great Song Dynasty, and it has been towards Lin'an City, not surprisingly, it is expected that Lin'an Mansion City was captured, and now there is a question, that is, the imperial court will choose to move the capital at a critical moment.
Other information in the direction of Lin'an Fucheng, Wu Shaogang didn't care at all, Yuan Shichun was also clear, and now in the capital, there could be no news from other aspects, in the letter written by Jia Rudao, he had suggested that the capital be moved to Kaifeng Fucheng, but he did not get the slightest response from Wu Shaogang, I am afraid that Jia Rudao understood the meaning, and for his own future, he gave up the plan to relocate the Great Song Dynasty to Kaifeng Fucheng.
Under such circumstances, Hao Jing and Zhang Wenqian's suggestions can be regarded as practical.
But Wu Shaogang still didn't say anything.
The fighter plane is in front of you, once the city of Haizhou is taken, Cai Siwei can lead nearly 10,000 soldiers to rush to the aid of Zhang Jue, dragging Hedan and the Mongolian army under his command to the death, and the 50,000 troops led by Zhang Binghui and Liu Bingzhong have entered the territory of Haizhou and are encircling behind Hedan.
Looking at the map on the table, Wu Shaogang turned his head to Hao Jing and Zhang Wenqian and spoke.
"I don't think we should move Hedan for the time being, our overall combat deployment, don't easily modify, or step by step, you just said, the south has suffered from the poison of the Mongolian army, it takes time to recover, we defeated the Mongolian army to conquer the southern army, that is, the process of restoring the vitality of the south, only we are extremely strong, can we completely defeat Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court, whether it is the Central Plains, or the south, the time of the war is too long, and the people of the world can not afford to resist the spread of war for a long time. . . ."
Speaking of which, Wu Shaogang's eyes left the map, and he looked at Hao Jing and Zhang Wenqian, in fact, his heart was also contradictory, conquest meant bloodshed, it meant that the common people suffered, and he wanted the place to be rich and prosperous, and he wanted to defeat the opponent, such a situation did not exist at all.
