"Go that way, go that way." The Song army, which came to the city of Datong Mansion again, was no longer at a loss last time, and Yang Zongbao, who had obtained the shame plan, was actively arranging the task in the way that Zhao Ling'er gave the other party's trenches.

The mortar was taken out and pushed to the front line, and now it is being adjusted by a group of soldiers who have been specially trained to shoot mortars.

The rifle-armed soldiers were divided into squads, which were drawn out and began to shoot in all directions of the local trenches.

In Zhao Ling'er's words: "Although the trenches extend in all directions, they are not without weak points, and the first weak places that can be found are naturally the end of the outermost trenches." ”

Since there was no way to achieve two-sided joint support at the outermost end of the trench, it became the breakthrough point of Zhao Ling'er's entire plan, if he could approach carefully, with the powerful power of the musket, the Song army could completely make an invasion of the trench.

And when these people invade the trenches, there must be a group of people armed with sniper goggles to cover the invading soldiers from a distance.

As soon as the Khitans in the trenches showed their heads, they did not hesitate to shoot them. Mortars, on the other hand, will serve as a truncated trench. Taking advantage of the fact that mortars can attack the trenches, it is possible to divide the trenches into many small sections.

Then let the Song soldiers clear the Khitans in the trenches in small sections, without being stopped by others who came in for reinforcements.

In this way, the Song army could complete the clearing of the trenches at a small cost.

In this way, the entire Song army began to be under the command of Yang Zongbao. According to Zhao Ling'er's concept, the whole operation began.

The moment when the first shells fired from the mortar exploded in the trenches dug by the Khitans. The actions of the Song infantry also began.

The forward troops, covered by mortars and snipers in the rear, slipped smoothly to the end of the outermost trench. Then he fired a machine gun into the trench there, and after killing the Khitans guarding there, he successfully entered the trench.

When all the members of their squad entered the trench, the captain of the squad put up a red flag outside the trench.

After seeing this red flag, one of the mortars that had been shelling this trench just now adjusted the direction of its fire and began to attack the trench further back.

The squad began to advance along the trench after the mortars stopped attacking the trench they were in.

At the other end of the battlefield, the other squads used the same method to enter the trenches. Their advance was also begun. Each squad consisted of two people holding two shields in front to prevent the Khitan bows and arrows in the trenches.

The soldiers in the back took advantage of this cover and kept pulling the trigger of their rifles towards the Khitans, who had no other defenses at all.

On the other hand, the mortar groups, which were constantly changing the direction of fire in line with the movement of these squads, effectively cut off all the trenches that were connected together.

Other Khitan soldiers who tried in vain to reinforce their compatriots who were attacked by the Song army were often faced with passing through a section of road that was constantly baptized by artillery fire.

For this reason, many Khitan soldiers were killed, so that nearly half of the trenches were soon occupied by the Song army. After occupying those trenches, the Song army not only continued to send troops to reinforce the advancing squads, but also began to send people to fill the trenches with sandbags that had been loaded in advance. This enabled the artillery to pass through these trenches and approach Datong Province.

The Liao army guards in Datong Mansion watched the soldiers in the trenches begin to retreat. Panic also began to appear, and he rashly opened the city gates, hoping to send troops to the trenches for reinforcements.

But he didn't expect that his action would cause the Khitan soldiers to suffer a catastrophe. Just when he ordered people to open the city gate, and then let a large number of Khitan soldiers prepare to go out through the city gate and enter the trenches.

The artillery of the Song army also just advanced to a position where it could bring the gate of Datong Mansion into range, and those artillery did not miss this heavenly opportunity.

They immediately set up the battery and fired shells at the group of Khitans who were about to pour into the trenches.

Because the Khitan soldiers who rushed out of the city gate were completely crowded together, they suffered heavy casualties when they were attacked by shells.

Basically, none of the Khitan soldiers standing in the doorway were spared, and they were all buried under artillery fire, and the scene was very tragic.

At this time, when the Liao army defender, who finally realized that he had made an unforgivable mistake, just wanted to order the city gate to be closed, he was shot and killed by the first Song army soldier who advanced to the city gate.

After seizing the city gate, this Song army team did not love to fight, because Zhao Ling'er had already mentioned before the war that if the opponent's main general made a mistake, it was likely that a team that advanced relatively quickly would be able to successfully capture the city gate.

But don't try to hold the gate there after seizing it, because at this time, this squad and the large army are in a state of disconnection, even if they are equipped with rifles, if a large number of Liao troops attack this team at this moment, they may not be able to stop it.

So at this time, their only task was to find a way to quickly destroy the latch used to hold up the city gate, and once they had done this, they could retreat into the trenches.

Next, just wait until the other squads also advance here, and then you can launch a general attack.

It was precisely because of Zhao Ling'er's instructions that the team that seized the city gate took out the explosives prepared in advance and directly blew up the door latch.

At the same time that the latch of the door was blown up, reinforcements from the Khitans also arrived, and a large number of Khitan soldiers rushed in and killed the soldiers of this squad.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers of the Song army immediately hid in the trenches. Just after they had taken refuge in the trenches, the artillery in the rear also opened fire at the same time.

The same scene reappeared in this battle, and a large number of Khitan soldiers who filled the door hole were blown up again.

In this way, a paradoxical thing appeared on the battlefield, that is, the most important city gate in the siege war has now become a vacuum on this battlefield.

No one took the attackers, and the defenders did not dare to approach, and the wide open gate became an area that neither side dared to touch.

However, this paradoxical phenomenon did not last long, and the soldiers of the Song Army, who had basically cleaned up the trenches, finally gathered in the trenches in front of the city gate.

Seeing that the troops had gathered, the Song soldiers launched a final attack on Datong Mansion, and they finally rushed into the city, rushed to the city tower, and fought the last battle against the Khitan soldiers who were still holding the city.

About two hours later, the Song soldiers, who had strong firepower, finally cleared out the remaining stubborn Khitans and completely recaptured Datong Mansion.

Since then, this important northern town that originally belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty has finally returned to the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Dynasty after decades of foreign rule.

With the Song army seizing Datong Mansion, the trenches under the city were naturally useless, out of respect for those Khitan warriors, Yang Yanzhao issued an order, that is, through these trenches, the bodies of those Khitan soldiers were buried on the spot.

Just when the soldiers were burying the corpses, Yang Yanzhao entered the Datong Mansion. For this Datong Mansion, he Yang Yanzhao still has a different kind of feelings.

After all, he was born here, but at that time, Datong Mansion was still an important town in the Northern Han Dynasty, and Yang Yanzhao was still surnamed Liu at that time.

Unexpectedly, after many years of separation, things are no longer human, and of course, the people of the Northern Han Dynasty, who regard the Yang family as heroes, are now looking at themselves and their teams with a fearful look.

"Uncle? You're not used to this kind of hostile gaze from the people of your hometown, right? At this time, Zhao Ling'er, who had changed into a personal soldier uniform, rode a horse and walked to Yang Yanzhao's side.

"It's a little unaccustomed." Yang Yanzhao sighed.

"Then uncle, you have to get used to it, I think we will be treated the same when we enter other Yanyun important towns in the future. After all, these places have been far away from the Central Plains Dynasty for many years. ”

"Yes, it's just that how to govern these places after recovering them is not something that one of my generals can control, and then it will be Kou Laoxi's headache." As he spoke, he had already arrived at the yamen of Datong Mansion.

At this time, the yamen of Datong Mansion was being guarded by several Song soldiers, and when they saw Yang Yanzhao coming, they hurriedly saluted the commander.

"Liaoguo Xijing is staying inside, right?"

"Hui Dashuai, the Liao State Xijing and his family are now in the residence behind the yamen, and they are being guarded by our people."

After listening to the soldier's report, Yang Yanzhao nodded, then entered the yamen and walked directly towards the house behind. As soon as he entered the back house, he heard a woman's cry coming from inside.

But when he walked in front of the woman, the woman actually stopped crying, and then called out Yang Yanzhao's name in a very confused tone: "Yanzhao? ”

"That's right, it's me, sister-in-law. We haven't seen each other in decades, haven't we? ”

At this time, a man walked out of the back room, looking to be around fifty years old, and his mouth kept scolding: "What are you crying about?" Isn't it the first time that you have lost the battle and been captured? ”

Just when this man was about to come over and hit this woman, he suddenly froze: "Yan Zhao? ”

"Brother Liu, we haven't seen each other for a long time." (To be continued......)
