Chapter 363: Bloody Battle in Jiangzhou

Under the city of Jiangzhou, the sound of artillery rumbled, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the enemy and I rushed back and forth, and the battle was extremely fierce. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to defend against the Mongol Yuan, a large number of soldiers and horses were stationed at the border, and if the Great Song army attacked the north and south of the Han Dynasty, it would inevitably create an opportunity for the Mongol Yuan.

The strategy of the Great Song Army's northern and southern armies flanking, and the main army going out of the Yangtze River to attack Chen Youliang's hinterland, was correct. However, Chen Youliang is not a person who does nothing, the main force of the Middle Route Army of the Great Song Dynasty spent more than a month to defeat the enemy's main force in Poyang Lake on the periphery with fire, and the Middle Route Army besieged Jiangzhou, which can be regarded as the real fire of war on Chen Youliang's territory.

In addition to recruiting a large number of troops, Chen Youliang also has a large number of talents.

Qingfeng army in all walks of life, the first to build a building ship, tend to the leading position at that time, Chen Youliang ambition to unify China, with Hao Ren as an imaginary enemy, to build a bigger and more building ship than Hao Ren, it is said that even the treasure ship of Zheng He to go to sea in later generations is not as good as the ship built by Chen Youliang.

And the Qingfeng army has an artillery advantage, Chen Youliang is naturally not to be outdone, spending a lot of money to build a large number of artillery, I don't know if it has mastered the finishing technology of black medicine, although its power is not as good as the Qingfeng army's six-pounder artillery, the mighty artillery, almost with the Qingfeng army six-pounder artillery is slightly equivalent.

The war between the Han Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty has been comprehensively upgraded and entered the era of semi-firearms and semi-cold weapons.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Qingfeng Army, the most elite Chinese army Zhang Poyu was stationed in Anqing, in order to guard against the strong enemy upstream, and Chen Youliang regarded Jiangzhou as the Anqing of the Qingfeng Army, and once took Jiangzhou as the capital, in order to guard against the Qingfeng Army downstream, he also worked Jiangzhou.

When Chen Youliang's army came out of Poyang Lake, he took Jiangzhou as a supply base, not only stationed a large number of grain and grass military supplies in Jiangzhou, but also dug ditches, led the water of the Yangtze River to protect the city, and the city wall was raised by two zhang and eight, and built fortresses along the river, with iron cables across the river to prevent the Song Dynasty naval army from going up the river, and also took Zhang Dingbian, the captain of the Han Dynasty, as the guard, and the army was solemn.

On both sides of the enemy and us, at the same time with the Yangtze River as a logistical supply line, Chen Youliang raised soldiers and horses, a steady stream of supplies through the Yangtze River, today was wiped out 3,000, tomorrow will be replenished 5,000, the Great Song Army with 100,000 elite onslaught, it is difficult to conquer Jiangzhou City for a while.

However, the Northern and Southern Route Armies of the Great Song Dynasty besieged Jiangzhou, and the east of Jiangzhou was firmly controlled, but the triangle between the Xunyang River and the Yangtze River was firmly controlled.

Surrounded by a group of people who should join the army and stay in the guards, Hao Ren stationed his horse on a high slope and set up a telescope to check the battlefield.

But seeing that under the city of Jiangzhou, the corpses of the enemy and me, floating corpses are everywhere, under the moat, filled with mud, the corpses of the Great Song army are especially dense, and under the city wall, the battle is extremely fierce.

The Xi soldiers are the deputy Wanhu Yang Hu and Fei Champions, all handsome in black clothes and black armor, the Xi soldiers use siege towers and ladders to storm the city wall, under the city gate, with the battering ram on the roof, in the fierce chorus of the soldiers, quickly crashed into the city gate.

"Go up! Go up! Shi Nai'an set up a telescope, pointed to a siege tower in the distance, and shouted excitedly.

I saw a brave soldier of the Creek Soldiers, not waiting for the pedal of the siege tower to catch the head of the city, and flew to the head of the city with a long seedling knife.

The long seedling knife flew up and down, and cut down two or three Han soldiers, but when a dozen spears pierced, the soldier fell crookedly from the top of the city, and died on the ground.

The siege tower gangplank was set up on the head of the city, and the soldiers at the top of the tower, with a shout, rushed to the head of the city. Two oil bottles, crisply smashed on the gangplank, the torches of the Han army were thrown suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers on the gangplank, immediately put themselves in the sea of fire, most of them screamed and fell under the city, two or three brave people, regardless of the flames, desperately forward, did not distinguish the direction in the firelight, and crashed directly under the enemy's spear.

"Over there, up there again!" Shi Nai'an pointed to a ladder on the other side and shouted excitedly.

A brave warrior of the creek soldiers, climbed the ladder for most of the time, threw a sky-shaking thunder on the city, between the thick smoke rising, three or five Han soldiers, flying and falling under the city, the warrior just lit the second earth-shaking thunder, but also in time to throw out, the city has stretched out two forked wood, against the two tops of the ladder, in a shout, a ladder was pushed away from the city, the thunder exploded in the hands of the warrior, the warrior turned into a cloud of blood mist, the ladder fell to the ground.

"The gates, the gates are going to be slammed open!" A few disappointments did not disturb the interest of the old man, Shi Nai'an, but pointed to the city gate again with great interest.

When Hao Ren looked, he saw a cloud of hot oil pouring down from the city, burning several soldiers under the battering ram beyond recognition, a torch was thrown, and the battering ram fell into a sea of fire.

……

Come out and mix, you always have to pay it back!

What the enemy gives you, you will repay the enemy tenfold, and what you have given to the enemy, the enemy will take pains to repay tenfold.

Today's Great Song Army, the former Qingfeng Army, has killed and injured its enemies in this way countless times, and now, the enemy is retaliating in the same way.

Shi Nai'an deliberately adjusted the atmosphere, but he couldn't stop the fierce struggle in Hao Ren's heart, nor could he stop the atmosphere of slaughter in the Great Song army.

"Your Majesty! It's already the third offense! Liu Bowen saw that the attack was hopeless, and cautiously made a request for retreat.

Hao Ren sighed secretly in his heart, but said calmly: "Let the artillery of the firearms battalion cover, Mingjin collects the troops, and let Yu Tonghe prepare to attack!" ”

"Dangdang—"

The Great Song Army's hurried gong rang out, the stream soldiers ran back as if they were about to be amnesty, and at this time, the Han army at the head of the city shouted, the long wooden planks were put under the city, the Han soldiers rushed along the flying bridge to kill, the city gate was suddenly opened, and a team of cavalry overturned the remains of the siege tower, and noisily pursued the rout of the stream soldiers.

The artillery positions under the city of the Great Song Army and the artillery of the Han Army at the head of the city opened fire almost at the same time.

The artillery of the Great Song Army hit the head of the city, suppressing the enemy's artillery and pursuers, and the artillery of the Han Army at the head of the city directly hit the retreat route of the Xi soldiers, trying to block the retreat route of the Great Song Army, causing heavy casualties to the retreating soldiers.

Although the artillery of the Great Song Army was slightly superior, it did its best to suppress the local artillery to the greatest extent and strike at the pursuing enemy, but the retreating Xi soldiers also suffered a lot of losses.

The white banner in the Great Song Army was unfurled, and a team of cavalry rushed straight out, outside the range of the enemy's artillery, intercepted the enemy's cavalry, and the two teams of cavalry, crossbows and arrows, swords and guns greeted, and fought together.

Yu Tonghe is one of the three most elite cavalry of the Great Song Army, and he is extremely brave in battle, and the enemy's main general, Zhang Dingbian, who has the title of the immortal god of war, is to lead the army in person.

The two armies fought for a quarter of an hour, killing and wounding each other, Zhang Dingbian was sure not to win, he hung three crossbows, and he was handsome with cavalry, and he turned his horse and left.

Yu Tonghe is handsome and elite, risking death to chase and chase the enemy, until the enemy is under the city gate, Zhang Dingbian does not wait for all the retreats into the city, the city gate is slammed shut, and the Han cavalry who stayed outside the city was shot by Yu Tonghe.

A trumpet sounded, and the arrows and crossbows on the city were like flying locusts attacking the Great Song cavalry. (To be continued.) )
