The defenders of the Li Dynasty in Pingbian City looked at the Dali siege troops who seemed to have stopped for a short time outside the city. Looking at them who were erecting the stone throwers, they didn't understand what these stone throwers were for, no matter how powerful the stone throwers were, it was impossible to smash the screen border city!

This speculation also existed in the eyes of Duan Yu and others, seeing this situation, Zhao San said with a smile: "The prince doesn't need to worry, it was just their test firing before, and they wanted to know the range and direction of the stone thrower." Now comes the real attack! ”

At this time, the men in armor began to put the black altar contents in the tray at the back. At this time, those who thought carefully noticed that the jar on this tray was about the same size as the previous stone.

Not long after, the soldier holding the altar quickly tore off a tarpaulin from the side of the altar. At this time, Duan Yu, who was standing not far behind, found that the bottom of the jar seemed to be filled with a thread, and the end felt very strange.

And at this moment, a military attache who looked like a commander said: "Take fire!" ”

Several soldiers standing by the tray lit the fire in unison. After hearing the military attache order: "No. 1, ignition!" ”

The soldier standing on the far left quickly lit the fire. Not long after, the military attache saw that the line of fire was about to disappear, and immediately shouted: "Release!" ”

Several soldiers who were in charge of operating the stone throwing machine immediately released the mechanism of the stone throwing machine. Immediately he took the jar that was placed in the stone-throwing cart, and flew straight to the top of the city. Many officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty who defended the city also felt that there was something special about this altar?

But the military attache didn't care what the consequences would be if the altar flew up the city wall. Very neatly ordered. Commanding the stone-throwing cart, he threw all the jars placed behind him on the top of the city. And at this time. The officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty at the head of the city had gone crazy.

When the first altar flew above the city head and landed on the city wall, many officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty felt. The jar looked as if it had been made of cast iron, and it had been thrown onto the city wall and smashed to the ground, but it did not break.

Just when everyone is curious. Are Dali people so rich, don't smash stones to replace iron balls. With a loud bang, this iron jar. It turned into a powder keg, setting off a ferocious heat wave, shooting all the nearby defenders of the city.

This loud noise was naturally heard by the Dali officers and soldiers outside the city. And this time. The second jar. Perhaps the timing of the projectile was a little late, and the jar was detonated before it could hit the ground when it flew over the city.

The huge roar frightened the Dali officers and soldiers under the city. But they soon saw that the debris formed by the explosion killed all the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty below. Even at all, it was too late to even dodge.

I thought it before. Is it impossible for the people of Dali to attack the city, so they want to use this kind of thing. Now look at them one by one. Accurately flew to the iron altar on the city wall, and the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty guarding the city felt that there was no way to stand on the city wall.

Standing on it, even if you are not hit by the iron altar and are hit by the debris formed by the explosion, it is absolutely impossible to survive. This terrifying weapon of mass destruction is enough to destroy the last hope of survival in the hearts of the officers and soldiers defending the city.

Looking at the officers and soldiers guarding the city who were in a mess, Zhao San, who was watching the battle in the rear, suddenly ordered: "Demolition team, up!" ”

A few armored soldiers pushing two wheelbarrows, under the cover of a group of Dali soldiers, almost sprinted a distance of 100 meters. The two wheelbarrows were pushed under the closed city gate, and several large cloth-like things were placed on them.

As soon as the fire folds were lit, the armorers shouted, "All retreat!" ”

Seeing these people hurriedly running back again, Zhao San said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, you can let the cavalry help prepare for entering the city." As soon as they strike, the gates will be completely useless. ”

Just when Duan Yu ordered the Dali cavalry to prepare, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the gate building of Pingbian City. The two large iron gates, as if blown down by the wind, were directly turned into pieces, and the city gates were already wide open.

Even Duan Yu could see that there were still many corpses of the defenders of the Li Dynasty in the city gate cave where the smoke of gunpowder had disappeared. And at this time, the Dali cavalry, who was sitting and preparing, saw the city gate wide open, and immediately drew their swords and said: "Rush!" ”

Let the Dali army, Pingbian City, which has not been able to break through for a long time, was brought by Zhao San, and this team of less than 50 people was taken. As a commander, Duan Yu also developed a strong interest in these weapons.

Maybe he had an explanation when he came, Zhao San said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, this attacking team is under your command during this battle. It's just that when they are fighting, they are only suitable for siege, and the others are not good at it.

In addition, when he came, the prince also said that he didn't have much of this thing in his hand for the time being, and he hoped that the prince could save some use. As for what this thing is, he makes you think about it, and you can know what he used to destroy the Xixia Iron Harrier with his own strength! ”

Listening to Zhao San's words, Duan Yu finally sighed: "In the hands of your prince, good things are really endless. With this kind of siege weapon, the border cities of the Li Dynasty will not be defended against Dali. Sons, kill into the screen side city, kill! ”

Under Duan Yu's roar, the Dali cavalry, who had already entered the city one step in advance, were chasing down the defenders of the Li Dynasty who had fled from the city. And the steady stream of Dali infantry rushed in with the same excitement.

For them, Pingbian City is like a nail, which has been stuck on the border with Dali. This time, Dali finally pulled this nail smoothly, how could they not be excited!

One morale is like a rainbow, and a soldier is frustrated, like a lost dog. The victory in the battle is almost doomed. And at the moment when the city was broken, Pingbian City only came in time to send out some messengers who reported the news.

The Dali soldiers who rushed into the city quickly caught the guards of Pingbian City and the civil officials on Pingbian. As for how they deal with it, everything will be up to Duan Yu. And at this moment, Duan Yu, who won the first battle, did the first thing to do was to report the victory to the imperial court.

This time, Dali sent troops to the Li Dynasty, although it was recognized by most civil and military officials. But there are still many people in China who feel that this is a war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Li Dynasty, and there is no need for Dali to mix their lives, and the Li Dynasty is not easy to bully.

With the soldiers of Dali's victory, the fast horse shouted: "Lord Shizi, great victory!" Screenside, big victory! ”

Such a happy voice of good news naturally attracted the attention of the people of Dali. This time, they didn't know much about the prince's expedition. It is today that the news will be announced by the royal family.

But in almost a day, the news of victory came from the border pass, and the speed of the siege was inevitably a little too fast. Until the post man who reported the victory rushed into the imperial city of Dali and handed the good news to the hands of Emperor Baoding, Duan Zhengming was also a little incredulous.

When he got the report document written by Duan Yu himself, Duan Zhengming said happily: "Okay, good, Yu'er won the first battle." In less than a day, at the cost of less than 300 people, Pingbian City was taken, okay! ”

Duan Zhengchun, who was also waiting for the news to come, as well as Dao Baifeng and others, wanted to know if Duan Yu was okay. Even the current princess Zhao Yu also paid more attention to Duan Yu's news, and when she heard Duan Yu's victory in the first battle, everyone was a little relieved.

Looking at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Duan Zhengming said happily: "Zhu Aiqing, how is it?" I said that Yu'er will be able to raise the prestige of my Dali country on this trip, and now you Aiqing have nothing to say! ”

For the happiness of the two brothers Duan Zhengming at the moment, even if they oppose the ministers who started the war, they don't dare to open their mouths at this time. In less than a day, Pingbian City was taken, which can be described as a record of Dali and Li Chao's battle, which has never been recorded!

Of course, some officials wonder if this is a good retribution. But when you think about it, it seems unlikely. When it comes to the character of Duan Yu, the prince of the world, they all know more or less, and it is almost impossible to report a false success.

Then there is another possibility, Duan Yu sent troops to attack Pingbian City, so that the defenders of the Li Dynasty, who seemed to be very tenacious in the past, lost Pingbian City so easily. But in any case, Dali's dispatch of troops this time was finally a victory in the first battle.

When the Dali monarchs and ministers were busy and happy, Zhao Xiaoxi had already set out from Qinghua City and directly recovered two Li Dynasty cities in one day. The Li Dynasty and the state cities of Thanh Hoa and the south were completely blocked.

A large number of Qiongzhou city defense troops, as well as the city defense troops of the state capitals on the Guangnan West Road, also began to be transported by land and sea into these recovered cities by Dali to maintain the security and defense of the city. This speed greatly surprised everyone.

Zhao Wu and others, who marched along the Friendship Pass, were also like a bamboo, and they took Langshan City in less than half a day, and took down this city that originally belonged to the Great Song Dynasty. Retaining some garrisons, the army continued to advance in the direction of Thang Long City.

And the news of the arrival of the five-way army in the imperial city of the Li Dynasty has already arrived in the two-way army one step ahead of time through the news network of Buyige. As for the attack in the direction of Dali, none of the monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty received the news.

Until the day after the screen fell, a postman who looked ragged appeared at the city gate again and shouted 'Eight Hundred Miles Urgent Battle Report'. After learning that Pingbian had fallen and Dali had sent troops, the Li Dynasty monarchs and ministers realized the trouble.

At the moment, the imperial city is guarded, although there are still three large armies. But these troops do not dare to move at will at all now. Just when Li Qiande was thinking about whether it was possible to transfer the two large armies sent to the Great Song Dynasty back to join the war against Dali.

A post guard from a neighboring city in Lang Son once again sent the news that Lang Son City had fallen and the Great Song army had advanced to the Friendship Pass. Not long after, an urgent war report from Thanh Hoa was also sent to make matters worse.

Almost on the same day, in just an hour or so, Li Qiande received three urgent war reports in a row. It was all the news that his city had been captured. Even from this moment on, the imperial city was surrounded by a three-way army.

At this time, no one dared to say that this time Da Song was not serious. Look at this frame, the Great Song Dynasty did not come to them to ask for guilt, but to destroy their Li Dynasty! (To be continued......)
