It is said that the misfortune of the enemy is the great fortune of one's own side. The soldiers of the Song Army who got up early in the morning, looking at the Li Dynasty camp in the distance, felt that the meat buns and steamed buns in the morning were more sweet and delicious than before, and they all ate one or two more than before.

In the face of these soldiers with super good appetites, the men and soldiers in charge of logistics also felt happy. In any case, if they can go out with the army, they are also part of the army. If they have merit, they will also receive some reward.

Although it is a shameful thing to be a soldier in the army. But every time they had a meal, Zhao Xiaoxi, a dignified prince, would come to visit them in the room, and this feeling of respect made the men and soldiers very excited.

In Cho Hyo-seok's words, it is the duty of the officers and men of other armies to go into battle and kill the enemy. It was their duty to provide these soldiers with delicious food. As long as you do your duty well, it is also a manifestation of meritorious service.

At present, these soldiers give such a high evaluation to their early performance, which is undoubtedly an affirmation for the soldiers. Even these guys and soldiers know that today's morning is no different from the past.

After breakfast, the soldiers in the military camp of the Song Dynasty, as usual, emphasized a military discipline drill for a while. This kind of after-dinner exercise also makes these soldiers understand that they are on the battlefield at the moment, and remember not to be careless and complacent.

Compared to the Song army camp, everything is as usual. The soldiers of the Li Dynasty, who were fortunate to be suffering early in the morning, looked at the gruel that could be counted in the bowl, as well as the small dough, and felt that this little thing was not enough to stuff the gaps between their teeth.

But leave them alone for now. The other team officers and military attachés didn't eat any better. In the early morning, the barracks and granaries were burned, and many soldiers witnessed it with their own eyes. It seems that this food has also become an urgent problem for them.

When the soldiers complained that this breakfast would not fill their stomachs, the three commanders finally decided that they could not retreat. The cavalry of each army was gathered and sent to the nearby capital city to collect grain and grass, hoping to prolong the war for a while.

When the food and grass were not replenished, they had to stick to the camp. It is enough to prevent another sneak attack by the Song army. Just face this. At night, the artillery could not be defended at all, and none of the three of them thought of a good way to defend it.

At this moment, the large camp of the Song army was opened, and there were neat and uniform infantry phalanxes. will drive out of the camp. Came to the distance. A place not far from the Li Dynasty camp. Left and right sides. However, two guards cavalry were placed on guard.

At the same time, the artillery, which was pushed back to the camp in the morning, was also pushed out at this moment. At the front of the infantry. Yao pointed to the large camp of the Li Dynasty army in front of him. Looking at this posture, the Song army is going to adopt the tactics of counter-defense and offense today.

The three commanders who had been notified looked at the Song army that had gathered in front of their camp. The armor situation of that water, they are also very dizzy when they see it. felt that compared to them, only team-level military attachés were equipped with iron armor, and the Song army was really a luxury.

Looking at the Song army that appeared in front of the camp with a strict military appearance, the persecution made the three of them a little dignified. Even if they knew that behind them, they had far more troops than the Song army in front of them.

But the army of the Li Dynasty, which had just been defeated, did not dare to act rashly before it was uncertain about the Song army's intentions. Speaking of which, they were really afraid of the Song army, and there were endless strange weapons. I think it's smarter to defend the camp.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who was staying in the rear of the army, saw that the Li Dynasty army could not come out of the camp. He said with a little surprise: "Zhao Da, since people don't want to come out to fight, let the artillerymen tell them what will happen to the shrinking turtle." ”

Zhao Da quickly said: "Yes! ”

Tell the guards to convey the order to the artillery team, these artillerymen who have just passed their addiction in the morning. He also looked very excited, and began to set up the artillery and prepare for the launch.

As for the sword and shield bearers and archers, they also watched the movements of these artillerymen, knowing that these artillerymen were about to make a big move. For the power of this weapon, these Song soldiers are also very clear.

The only way to fight this kind of artillery is to rush in front of them with your life. As long as they get within range of the artillery and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them, these artillery pieces can be defeated.

If you think that if you shoot far, you can escape the blow of artillery, and the end will only be worse. After all, even a four-legged war horse can't shoot faster than a cannonball. When the turtle ends, it is to be broken.

Compared to this morning's sneak attack, most of them use voice to give orders. At this moment, the artillery is equipped with the standard level of previous training. The military attaché's flag is used as the final instruction.

The three commanders who could see the movements of the artillery also felt that this thing was really difficult to deal with. But in the current situation, they really don't know whether to go out of the camp to fight a decisive battle with the Song army. After all, if it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

There was even a silent prayer in the heart of the capital that these heavenly thunder weapons used by the Song army would best fail. In this way, with the soldiers of both sides fighting face to face, they may have a hope of victory by relying on their numerical superiority.

In fact, this idea is good, but the reality is undoubtedly cruel. In order to prepare for this big war, the firearms workshop at the Penghu base has stored a large number of newly developed artillery shells, which can be continuously supplied to the artillery.

Now those merchants, in order to make up enough money for the ship and make more money, are willing to help the Song army act as a transport team. Although the money is not much, for such contributing businessmen, they have priority treatment when selling new product shares.

Therefore, compared with the Li Dynasty's reliance on the people and troops to escort supplies, the Song army's material supply speed is undoubtedly a few points faster. And these supplies are now being transported into the occupied cities.

Artillery for defense began to be erected on the occupied cities. This means that although there are not many defenders in the city, it is almost wishful thinking to recapture these cities with surprise soldiers.

Accompanied by the artillery officer, he waved down the flag in his hand, and the artillery who lit the fire accurately ignited the cannon. The roar of anger that made the officers and men of the Li Dynasty feel uneasy once again resounded in the ears of the officers and men of the two armies.

Looking at the flying cannonballs, the soldiers of the Li Dynasty who were sticking to the camp could only dodge everywhere like headless flies. Having seen the power of shells in the morning, they knew very well how destructive this weapon was.

A burst of explosions sounded, and the soldiers of the Song army who watched undoubtedly shouted happily: "Song army, Wan Sheng!" ”

As for the soldiers of the Li Dynasty, they searched in a panic and were able to hide from the position. The place where the shells had hit them before was even more where they did not dare to approach, for fear that they would turn into a pile of minced meat, or a corpse lying there.

In the face of the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty who could not come out of the camp, Zhao Xiaoxi was also happy and asked the artillery to teach them a good lesson. In these years, if you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, you also have to see whether the stiffness on your back is hard. Obviously, Li Chao's shell was not as hard as he imagined.

Rounds of artillery fire began to extend and baptize, and this seemed to be a larger camp than the Song military camp. Everywhere the shells went, it was a scene of wreckage. The birth of this weapon means that force has lost its usefulness in a large way.

Whether it is an ordinary soldier or a powerful general in the past. Under the bombardment of shells, they were lifted into the sky like rags. The power of this kind of artillery shell is destroying all the time, and these Li Dynasty soldiers are the opposing force in their hearts.

I was expecting that some artillery was tired, and it was not possible to stop the three commanders. Faced with this situation, I also know that it is a joke to cling to it. If it continues to be blown up like this, no matter how many of them are, they will all be blown up.

Just when the artillerymen began to feel a little out of breath, Zhao Xiaoxi, who had been observing from the rear, saw the Li Chao soldiers who were still stubborn. I also felt that if the artillery continued to fire, I was afraid that it would also be damaged, so I stopped the artillery attack at the right time.

Looking at the Li Dynasty camp, there was still no move to send troops, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said: "Zhao Da, order to withdraw to the camp." We'll come back after lunch. This king still doesn't believe it, these guys are so hard-hearted, they can always avoid it! ”

As Zhao Xiaoxi ordered the retreat, artillery was naturally the first to retreat. Looking at these artillery carts pushed back into the military formation, the three of them all looked at each other and said, "Do you want to chase them out now?" ”

In this regard, a commander said helplessly: "You see, the Song army retreated in an orderly manner. Sending troops now will undoubtedly outweigh the losses. However, our guess is very correct, it seems that the Song army does not have everything this day.

If I were a general of the Song army, I would definitely come back in the afternoon or tomorrow. In that case, we have to be ready to fight. Once their thunder is almost released, we will concentrate our superior forces and cover the past.

In any case, those thunderbolts must be destroyed. Otherwise, there is no need to fight this battle, and we will definitely lose. And if we don't close the camp any longer, our morale will be depleted. ”

As soon as the words of this commander were finished, the two commanders also felt that it was very reasonable. In the face of such an enemy, it is simply impossible to close the camp without fighting. The only thing that can be thought of is to suddenly launch a counterattack when the opponent's morale is high.

In any case, their biggest advantage over the Song army now is that they are more than twice as numerous as the other party. As long as they can fight in close combat with each other, all three of them feel that they should not lose.

Accompanied by the three commanders of the Li Dynasty, they began to select the elite from the various armies. Even the remaining cavalry of the three armies were concentrated. They will take on the heavy responsibility of destroying the artillery in the next raid.

The other units responsible for the response will also attack from the three barracks after the cavalry attack. It was hoped that this would destroy the Song army's defense line or destroy the artillery in the opponent's hand.

Perhaps it is the realization that the next big battle is likely to determine the victory or defeat of both sides. The three commanders also ordered that these soldiers should have a full meal for lunch. It's just that after giving this order, they began to worry about whether the Song army would attack in the end!

If the Song army did not attack in the afternoon, everything they had planned would be useless. Even after eating this full meal, I am afraid that the food of the army tomorrow will not be much, and I can only drink thin three meals a day! (To be continued......)
