The battle of the infantry army in the Song Dynasty is very interesting, the officers and soldiers in the army are divided into two kinds of soldiers and auxiliaries, excluding the utility of the army and the envoys in the team, the main thing is the utility and the strong soldiers, to put it bluntly, the utility is the senior sergeant in the army, each is a strong person in martial arts, and the preferential treatment is to be exempted from the face tattoo, after the military has made meritorious contributions, it can also be promoted to a low-level officer at any time, which is considered an officer's reserve, and the living soldier is a new force, and they are all strong soldiers, As for the auxiliary soldiers, most of them are in slightly poor physical condition or leftover members in the army, their task is to help the utility or raw soldiers carry the armor, and help the raw soldiers or utility armor when they are about to fight, so that they have enough energy and physical strength to devote themselves to the battle, and the auxiliary soldiers are second-line soldiers, only when they are forced to go into battle together, the combat effectiveness is relatively weak, the general Song army has this configuration, and the army of the palace has not changed this configuration, but relatively speaking, The quality of their auxiliaries is also comparable to that of ordinary Song troops, so the combat effectiveness of the whole army is quite strong.

When the Song army began to attack, Liu Qingfu at the head of the city noticed the movement of the Song army and hurriedly drove his soldiers to the city to defend it.

The siege chariots of the Song army, under the impetus of the generals, slowly approached the city, because the previous artillery bombardment basically solved the heavy weapons on the wall of the northern army, so the way was not much hindered, only occasionally, one or two stones fell in the army formation, causing some casualties.

Liu Qingfu in Baoying County, after the city defense, a certain amount of effort in the city defense, in addition to the city wall itself and the moat such as the standing facilities, he ordered people to set up several temporary defense lines outside the city, the outermost part of the scattered iron or bamboo made of thistles, the second layer is to dig out a shallow ditch buried under the antler wood, the third layer is also an obstacle to resist the Song army's raids, and even dug a lot of traps outside the city, it can be said that he can do everything in a few days, which caused great trouble for the Song army's attack.

The Song army was not afraid that the Northern Army had obtained so many objects, and they now had all kinds of siege vehicles made by Seiko in their hands, which were enough to deal with these things.

The first row was the shield bearer in front, and they quickly cleared the outermost tribulus terrestris, so as not to cause trouble to the Song army behind and stab the feet of the robes, and after doing these things, they stopped and formed a shield wall to provide a defensive line against arrows for the follow-up soldiers and horses, covering the follow-up soldiers and horses to attack.

A screen car pushed by manpower immediately crossed the shield player's defense line, and continued to advance forward, a team of Song troops followed, and rushed to the second line of defense built with antler wood, although this thing can block horses, but for the Song army dominated by the infantry army, the defensive effect is limited, a large number of Song troops under the escort of the screen brand car, soon arrived at the antler wood, the Song army immediately started, under the cover of the shield hand to follow, frantically dismantled these antler wood that was not deeply buried.

Seeing the Song army's behavior like this, Liu Qingfu was greatly frightened, and immediately ordered people to brave the artillery stones that were still being fired outside the city, and got up and fired arrows at the Song army outside the city.

Seeing such a situation, the soldiers of the Northern Army knew that if they didn't work hard, Baoying County might not last long, so although some people were afraid, they still stood up and began to pull the bowstring, releasing arrows towards the city, and for a while the arrows released by the Northern Army in the city fell like flying locusts, immediately causing certain casualties to the Song army outside the city.

The Song army was also prepared, while continuing to fire artillery, a large number of crossbowmen who had already been prepared strode forward under the command of the general, and stepped forward to the back of the shield bearer, the shield soldier immediately squatted down and made way for space, and the crossbowman immediately aimed at the city and began to fire arrows.

Suddenly, a rain of arrows immediately returned the color to the northern army in the city, and the northern army that could not dodge was shot over the city on the spot, and a miserable scream sounded in the city.

Since then, the siege has completely begun, and the Song army rushed to the city like a tide.

Such a battle scene naturally does not need to be counted, and the battle situation is also quite tragic, even the veterans who have participated in the battle of Huzhou, under such a fierce battle, will be a little frightened, as for those soldiers who have seen such a battle for the first time, it is even more so, many people are a little soft!

Under the stubborn counterattack of the Northern Army, the Song Army broke through the defense line of Antlerwood, and the offensive was stopped, and the speed of the attack slowed down.

But the military order is like a mountain, although the soldiers of the Song army are a little afraid, but no one dares to turn around and withdraw, because for a long time, they have been taught by the officers to form the instinct to obey the military order, the officers of the front division of the palace chattered every day to tell them, as long as the military order, even if they are in front of them even if they are a mountain of swords and fire, they must also jump, if they dare to disobey the military order, turn around and flee without authorization, waiting for them is still a dead word, fall forward in front of the battle, they can be called martyrs, If they are killed because they escape, not only will they not get a little comfort, but their families will also be humiliated by them, so the army in front of the palace has gradually formed such an atmosphere, regarding the military order as an iron order, and no one dares to cross it.

In this way, although the Song army's offensive was blocked, it did not stop, or was repulsed by the northern army, and the second group of soldiers immediately pressed up, snatched the first group of Song troops with casualties, and took their place, and continued to advance towards the moat.

There began to appear on the road of different sizes of trap pits, the northern army is also considered to be damaged, in many traps are laid in some sharpened bamboo wood, the pointed head is upward, covered with a bamboo mat, and covered with a thin layer of soil, camouflaged, the Song army is advancing in rows, a little careless will step on this kind of trap pit, if it falls into the pit, the Song army soldiers are not dead or injured, the angry Song army scolded, but also to find a way to rescue the robe out of the trap pit, but also to cover themselves, continue to move forward.

But soon they thought of a solution, every other distance, there was a pikeman under the cover of the shield hand, constantly stabbing the ground in front of him with the spear in his hand, as long as the gun was empty, they could find the trap in front, so that they destroyed a lot of traps, quickly bypassed, or the Song army that followed behind the sand and stone bags into the trap, and buried the trap.

Most of these traps were not dug deeply, so some of the traps were quickly filled up and became a smooth road, and the Song army behind continued to push all kinds of vehicles slowly, and finally approached the front of the rejection horse near the river.

In order to prevent the Song army from destroying it, Liu Qingfu also ordered his subordinates to fix the horses on the ground with standing logs, and these standing trees are buried much deeper than antler wood, which is more difficult to destroy.

But this can not stop the Song army that has been annoyed, as soon as it is close to the rejection of the horse, the Song army rushed out of a lot of heavy armor with a big axe, braving the rain of arrows on the city, frantically began to chop these rejection horses, the surrounding Song army continued to cover their actions with shields, and the crossbowmen behind them continued to release arrows to provide fire suppression for their actions.

This method of attack, the Song army does not know how many times it has been rehearsed, although it has paid a certain number of casualties, and finally these rejected horses are cut off, pushed down or dismantled, so the Song army finally broke through various defenses outside the city and forced to the moat.

From the time they launched the attack to the approach to the moat, it was a full battle from morning to afternoon, and the attacking generals alone replaced three waves, paid the price of nearly 100 killed, and hundreds of wounded, before these things were completed.

Gao Huaiyuan looked up at the sky, knowing that today's battle was fought here, and the situation on the first day was good, at least these defensive facilities outside Baoying County had been cleared, so he sent an order to go down and order the troops to withdraw.

Hua Yue also knew that this matter was in a hurry, it was not easy to do this on the first day, the performance of the attacking Song army was already quite good, if the attack continued, the casualties would be greater, so in order to preserve his strength, Hua Yue also agreed to Gao Huaiyuan's order to collect his troops, and immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Outside the city, there was a sound of gold, and a large number of Song troops with their own weapons, as well as the corpses of fallen soldiers and wounded soldiers, withdrew like a tide.

Liu Qingfu looked at the sky, and then looked at the dynamics of the Song army, and suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, the strength of the Song army has exceeded his expectations, the attack is very resolute, and the execution of orders is also very resolute, there has not been much chaos from beginning to end, and there has not been a single Song army that has escaped, this situation is very rare in the past, indicating that these Song troops are indeed different from the ordinary Song army, and the combat effectiveness is stronger than they expected.

But Liu Qingfu still breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, today he led the army to repel the attack of the Song army, and did not let the Song army capture the city wall overnight, indicating that his soldiers did not collapse.

The order is to go down, immediately count the losses, go and arrest all the craftsmen in the city for me, and rush to make or repair and throw the car overnight, tomorrow the Song army will come, we can't sit still!

Liu Qingfu instructed his lieutenant general, and the lieutenant immediately received the order, turned around and went down to make arrangements, and Liu Qingfu immediately walked in the direction of the west gate, he not only had to keep an eye on the south, but also the east and west sides of the war situation.

And Gao Huaiyuan was doing the same thing as Liu Qingfu at this time, and he also galloped towards the west gate, and Zhao Futang was in charge of the east side, only the west gate direction he handed over to Luo Zhuo's Zhenjiang Mansion soldiers and horses, he was a little uneasy, so he personally went over to see how Luo Zhuo's soldiers and horses were doing today.

When he rushed to the direction of the West Gate under the escort of a team of personal soldiers, he was stunned to find that the fighting here had not stopped, and the Song army was still attacking in the direction of the moat.
