Chapter 77: Surrender or Kill
The front row of men with shields and various soldiers carrying ladders and pushing siege vehicles rushed towards the palace.
Although the morale of the officers and men of the Dinghai Navy, the Huzhou Army, and the Broken Enemy Army was low, they were still attacking the palace and rushing forward.
But the deputy commander of the support army made Wu Wenli shout a few times, but he didn't see how many soldiers in the army charged forward.
He was originally a member of the staff of the Emperor of Ge Lijun, and he was considered a die-hard loyalist, and the former commander was killed by a landmine, and he was ordered to be in danger. Finally urged the sergeants to rush here, I wanted to perform well and strive for the first credit, but now I was naturally dumbfounded when I saw the soldiers like this.
Then he gritted his teeth, ordered the standard-bearer to wave the flag, raised his sword and shouted: "All the soldiers, follow me to the palace and arrest Emperor Song." The reward for killing the enemy is ten taels of silver, the reward for killing the enemy's generals is ten taels, and the one who captures the Song Emperor alive will be crowned an official and knighted!"
This time he can be regarded as a bloody capital, this kind of reward is not promised by Ge Lijun, he may have to pay out of his own pocket.
After shouting, Wu Wenli whipped his whip and rode his horse, ready to rush to the palace first. He thought that there was a heavy reward, and the soldiers would be positive.
But not far away, he noticed that there were still not many people charging with him, and he couldn't hear the earth-shattering roar.
Most of the guards did not move forward.
What the fuck!
Wu Wenli was furious, turned around and scolded: "You bastards, don't you still charge, didn't you hear the general's order?"
"Whoosh!"
At this time, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the army, straight to Wu Wenli's throat.
Wu Wenli was caught off guard, and was directly pierced by a cold arrow, the expression on his face instantly froze, blood gushed from his mouth, and he fell off the horse.
A one-eyed soldier with an eyepatch in his left eye raised his longbow high and shouted: "Ge Lijun betrayed the country to seek glory, Wu Wenli is greedy and tyrannical, do you really want to attack our Great Song Emperor for them?"
With that, he slammed his longbow to the ground.
Originally, these soldiers in the support army who were reluctant to charge were all patriotic, but at this time, seeing Wu Wenli being killed by a cold arrow, and someone shouted loudly, he had taken the lead, and the courage in his heart surged up, and no matter what bullshit horn sounded, a piece of people threw their blades to the ground one after another.
Afterwards, the soldiers guarding the flag will also cut it to the ground.
Wu Wenli has been constantly exploiting in the army in the past few years, deducting military salaries, which has long made people complain.
The officers and men of the escort army who charged out at the front saw the mutiny behind them, shrank their heads, and hurriedly ran back.
Although some generals were loyal to Ge Lijun, when they saw the general trend, they did not dare to forcibly order their soldiers, for fear that they would fall into a fate like Wu Wenli.
So, before the city was broken, the supporting army was tantamount to surrendering.
Zhang Shijie and when they saw this scene in the city, they were naturally overjoyed.
The Huzhou army attacking the city next to the escort army was affected, and those generals who were close to Ge Lijun finally managed to stabilize the soldiers.
However, the combat effectiveness that such an army can exert can naturally be imagined.
As soon as he rushed less than three hundred paces, he saw the flag waving on the wall of the palace.
Then there was a rumbling sound.
"Put!"
"Put!"
The stone-throwing poles of nearly 100 catapults arranged along the city wall were raised in unison, and stones the size of a horse's head roared towards the attacking array of the state protection army, the Dinghai navy, and the enemy army.
Some soldiers with shields in the front row were smashed to the ground with shields, and some soldiers pushing siege engines were even smashed to the ground.
However, catapults are still too few in the end, and their lethality is insufficient, compared to tens of thousands of troops, the effect can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
The three armies of Huzhou, Dinghai, and Po Enemy still charged forward under the command of the military flag.
But as soon as he rushed less than a hundred steps, he saw that the ground in front of him exploded one after another, and rubble flew up. The shield-bearers who rushed to the front were blown to the ground in an instant, and their limbs were all over the ground. In front of the entire palace wall, it was as if it had been damned, and the sky shook with a bang.
Zhao Dongting has already let people bury a lot of thunder here, as the last defense of the palace.
At the beginning, the Yuan army was destroyed before attacking the palace, and now Ge Lijun's army has enjoyed this feast of mines.
On the city wall, Wan Yanzhang stared at this scene and was shocked. He seemed to suddenly understand how the Hulukou army had been destroyed.
Seeing the Leizhou Army being blown up in pieces, he only said that the trap of the Song Army was simply invincible.
Outside the southern city wall, the shield soldiers in the front row of the Huzhou Army were killed nearly 100 in the blink of an eye, and the bloody scene made people feel terrible. They were already affected by the morale of the escort army, and seeing such a danger in front of them, the shield soldiers were suddenly reluctant to charge forward. looked at the support army next to him who was watching the play in place, and he was even more unwilling to work for Ge Lijun in his heart.
In the past, only the Flying Army, the Mighty Army, the Ding Navy, and the Enemy Breaking Army were Ge Lijun's lineage, and the Huzhou Army and the Guardian Army were later recruited and expanded by Cun Yong, and their status in Ge Lijun's heart was not high, and their combat effectiveness was also low. They are usually responsible for guarding the city, patrolling, disaster relief and other duties, and they do not have much loyalty to Ge Lijun at all.
At the moment, the shield soldiers and siege infantry in the front row of the escort army were all deadly frozen.
The soldiers in the back row rushed up, but they were blocked, and the scene was a mess in an instant.
The commander in the army rode a war horse, but he couldn't even open the horse, and he shouted and scolded himself, but no one paid attention to it.
The army was slowly retreating.
Even the Song army on the city wall was dumbfounded, thinking in his heart, this hasn't made you taste powerful, why did you mutiniate and retreat?
But they were naturally happy, and raised their swords and shouted.
Their morale was like a rainbow, which made the Debao army even more afraid. The retreat was faster, and the generals couldn't stop screaming at the throat.
Zhao Dongting saw this scene on the cliffside, and he knew a little in his heart, so he called Yang Yidong to his side and whispered a few words to him. Yang Yidong ran towards the wall of the palace with a happy face.
Yang Shufei looked at it strangely and asked, "?g'er, what are you asking General Yang to do?"
Zhao Dongting thought that Yang Shufei was just afraid of tired Yang Yidong, so he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and said, "The queen mother will naturally know later." ”
In front of all the ministers, he is usually called Yang Shufei's mother.
When Concubine Yang saw him selling Guanzi, she was even more curious, and looked towards the wall of the palace. Here on the cliffside, the view is wide, and you can see almost the entire battlefield.
The eastern wall.
The loyalty of the Dinghai Navy and the Broken Enemy Army is still relatively high, although many people were killed by mines, they are still shouting and rushing to the palace.
I saw that there were constantly mines set off by them, with rumbling and dust, killing countless soldiers and even generals.
"Shoot your crossbows!"
But there were still dozens of meters away from the city wall, but there was another loud shout on the city wall. The Song army herald moved his hands and changed the flag.
Countless crossbow arrows burst out from the crossbow bases of the city wall, and with the sound of breaking through the air, they shot straight into the formations of the two armies.
The crossbow of the Song Dynasty was already extremely powerful, and some shield soldiers and even shield belts were pierced, screaming again and again.
Dozens of steps further, there were arrows raining down on the walls of the palace.
For a while, Rao was a little stunned when the navy and the enemy army wanted to break the city and capture Zhao Dongting alive.
There were thunder in the ground, and catapults, crossbows, and archers on the walls, and they were so dense that they were killed and wounded.
The siege war was originally extremely consuming of troops, and if the five armies attacked together, they might really be able to break through the palace, but now that the Leizhou army is only left with their two armies attacking, it is naturally overwhelmed. With less than 20,000 horses, even the generals of the two armies could not see much hope if they wanted to break through the layers of defenses.
They hurriedly told the scout to report the news to Ge Lijun and asked him to send troops to help.
Then, the commanders of both armies ordered a retreat, and assembled five hundred meters from the palace.
In the first wave of charge, the Song army did not lose a single person, and the Leizhou army did not even touch the city wall, and lost thousands of men and horses in vain.
Even Wan Yanzhang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
This should be the real Song Dynasty army, why is he so unlucky, but he encountered the extremely strong Song army of the little emperor?
He really couldn't figure it out, they were all Song Jun, how could the difference be so big. If they had encountered a Song army like the Leizhou army on the day of their attack on the island, they would have won a great victory.
At this time, the forbidden army on the southern city wall suddenly shouted in unison, "You are all soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty! The emperor has an order! Surrender and not kill!"
"Surrender or kill!"
"Surrender or kill!"
The shout gradually broke through the sky, infecting all the forbidden troops on the northern wall.
Su Liuyi's eyes were moist, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Surrender or kill!"
Su Quandang was slightly stunned beside him, and then raised the spear in his hand and shouted, "All soldiers, chant with me!"
"Surrender or kill!"
"Surrender or kill!"
For a while, such a shout resounded throughout the palace and beyond.
The Leizhou army was even more moved, and almost mutiny again.
This is naturally Zhao Dongting's instructions. Le Chan, Yang Shufei, and the ministers looked at Zhao Dongting's eyes full of admiration. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Strongest Fighting God Claw Book House in the Ages" for free for the first time.
