Chapter 22 Fight for merit, explosives barrel prestige
Manila's reinforcements to rescue Legamati were easily defeated by the 25,000 right thousand cattle army led by An Jun, and the Manila reinforcements who rushed to the big river rushed to cross the river first, but were frozen to death by the icy river, after the war, 15,000 Manila reinforcements, less than 700 people escaped, more than 8,000 people were captured, and Manila Generalissimo Bambo was captured alive.

The four gates of the city of Legamati were surrounded by the new army led by Fan Zhongyan, and the four camps were like four pockets, blocking the entire city of Legamabi.
"Congratulations to the general for his great achievements, and after returning to Bianjing, he is expected to be crowned a marquis!" In the Great Song camp, Fan Zhongyan looked at An Jun, who had returned from victory, and said with jealousy.
Fan Zhongyan now also understands the weakness of Ma Yi's army, just when An Jun ambushed the reinforcements in Manila, the defenders of Legamati once opened the city gate and carried out a tentative attack with the new army, but they were defeated by the new army in a short time, and the most important thing is that the new army did not use any new weapons in the battle, which made Fan Zhongyan finally understand that if the Western Xia is described as a tiger, then the Great Song Dynasty is at least a lone wolf, and Ma Yi is at best just a rabbit, and Ma Yi, who has lost the naval barrier, may not even be as good as a rabbit.
Fan Zhongyan, who understood the combat effectiveness of the Ma Yi army, was very dissatisfied with An Jun's move of ambushing the reinforcements in Manila and ordering the new army not to attack the city of Legamat.
"Rejoice and rejoice! I heard that Lord Fan also repelled an attack by the defenders of Legamat, killing hundreds of people and capturing hundreds of people! "Take off your iron armor and be handsome in your official robes. looked at Fan Zhongyan with a smile and said.
This kind of merit is nothing compared to the merit of killing more than 6,000 people, capturing 8,000 people, and also capturing Generalissimo Ma Yi! Fan Zhongyan looked at An Jun's hypocritical smile and thought with disdain in his heart.
"Now that General An has routed the Manila reinforcements, should we start attacking Lejami immediately?" Fan Zhongyan changed the topic and said to An Jun in a deep voice.
You must know that in this expedition to Mayi, the Great Song Expeditionary Army did not bring much grain and grass materials. Grain and grass were only used for a month, and there were only 200,000 bows and crossbows, rocket carts and grenades were also brought with them, and at the same time, they also brought iron barrels of explosives specially developed by the Ordnance Institute to bombard the city walls, but there were only two.
Although there are a lot of these things, enough to take the Legamais, but the time has been long, it is inevitable that there will be a sudden situation, now the Great Song Expeditionary Army has consumed half of the grain and grass, plus there are many more prisoners in the army, if the Legamaica cannot be taken in the short term, the expeditionary force will fall into the predicament of lack of food, so Fan Zhongyan is so eager to ask for the siege.
"Good! Now that Jamaica has become an isolated city, it is a good time to siege the city, and today is a day off. Tomorrow we will attack the city with all our might! An Jun also knew the only weakness of the expeditionary force now, and nodded in agreement with Fan Zhongyan's request.
"I wonder how General An will arrange the siege tomorrow?" Shi Yuanchun, the general of the new army, who is both civil and military, immediately asked An Jun eagerly.
An Jun pondered for a while, and finally said to Fan Zhongyan and the others with a smile: "That's it! Tomorrow, the new army is responsible for feints to attack the east, west and south gates, attracting the main force of the Lejami defenders, and General Ben leads the right Qianniu army to attack the north gate. Aim for a hit! ”
This bastard who wants to steal merit again! Hearing An Jun's words, Fan Zhongyan and other generals of the new army scolded angrily in their hearts at the same time.
The official level crushes people to death! knew that An Jun was snatching the credit, but Fan Zhongyan and the others could only accept it helplessly. Resentful, they snorted coldly and withdrew from the tent.
……
In the tent of the new army camp at the east gate of Jamabi, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Shi Yuanchun, Gao Zunping, and Yang Zun, five generals of the new army, were sitting in the camp tent with angry faces discussing An Jun's struggle for credit.
"! An Jun, this old bastard, is so unkind, he actually snatched all the credit, so that our new army can't find anything, something! If Lord Zhao is here, it will make An Jun, a bastard, so arrogant! Yang Zun, a civilian-born general, scolded angrily.
Yang Zundi's words made Fan Zhongyan even more unhappy in his heart, how awkward these words sounded to Fan Zhongyan, didn't this clearly say that he Fan Zhongyan was not as good as Zhao Lei! Originally, Fan Zhongyan, who became Zhao Lei's stand-in in the new army, was already very unhappy. Now hearing Yang Zun's words, there is actually a trace of resentment towards Zhao Lei in his heart.
The new army established by you Zhao Lei, why do you have to pull me to take care of it for you! Now Ma Yi, who has been sent to a distant place by the official family, is also robbed of the credit by Anjun's old thing, the new army yamen is not an easy place to stay! Fan Zhongyan thought with a sigh in his heart.
"Lord Fan! Could it be that we just watched An Jun snatch all the credit! Han Qi, who was also both civil and military, said in a deep voice at this time.
"What if you don't look at it? Do we want to disobey the orders of the manager? Gao Zunping whispered angrily.
"Boss! What kind of coach is he Anjun! Don't forget that Zhao Dacai is the commander of this attack on Ma Yi, and An Jun is just cooperating with the commander of the navy! Shi Yuanchun said loudly with disdain for An Jun.
"Although An Jun is only the commander of the expeditionary force, he is our top boss after all, since he has given the order, can we disobey it!" After all, Yang Zun's background is relatively low, he doesn't want Gao Zunping and Shi Yuanchun to be the people in the Jiangmen, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan have strong backers behind him, although he is unhappy in his heart, but at most he is complaining, disobeying orders, Yang Zun, who has no background, does not dare to do it easily, but Yang Zun forgets that he is now a member of the new army, his backstage is Zhao Lei, and the backstage above is the emperor, although it is not as good as An Jun who was born in the hidden mansion, but there is no need to be so afraid of him.
"Actually, why should we pay attention to An Jun's order, you must know that this is a siege battle, if there is a sudden huge change on the battlefield, such as the city gate of Li Jamabi is suddenly blown open, we can attack the city in one step, can it be that after capturing Li Jamabi, he An Jun will still find us trouble!" Han Qi's eyes turned sharply, and he suddenly thought of the two huge iron barrels in the camp that were specially used to siege the city, and immediately said to the others with a sneer.
"You mean those two siege bomb barrels in the camp!" Fan Zhongyan immediately understood what Han Qi meant, and said slowly with understanding.
"Good way! Tomorrow we will blow open the city gate with a barrel of explosives, and then kill Ru in the city directly, can he Anjun still cure us of the crime of attacking the city too quickly! Hearing Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi's words, Gao Zunping immediately slapped his legs and shouted.
"Hey, hey!" In the entire camp, the sneers of the generals of the new army came and went.
……
In the barracks outside the city of Rimaimira, the Great Song Expeditionary Force had finished burying the pot and eating, and the 50,000 troops were waiting for the whole army.
In the Great Song military camp south of the city of Lejama, the generals of the new army, who were supposed to disperse the other two gates, gathered in one battalion, that is, the new soldiers, and only left 5,000 people in the east and west battalions, and the other 20,000 horses were secretly stationed in the south gate camp.
The morning sun gradually jumped out of the valley in the east, reflecting the beautiful morning sun, and the 20,000 men and horses of the new army at the south gate formed a tight four phalanx, staring at the huge city of Lejami in front of them.
The voyage was really unable to transport war horses, and Ma Yi did not have a horse at all, and the general of the new army, who had no riding tools, stood on a high ground, holding a monocular telescope sent by Zhao Lei, and quietly looked at the city wall of Legamati.
"General Yang! You ready? Fan Zhongyan looked at the well-trained soldiers of the New Army in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and asked Yang Zun in a deep voice behind him.
"You're all set!" Yang Zun replied confidently, Fan Zhongyan said.
"Good! Immediately ordered the east and west gates to feint to attack the city gate, and let the demolition team blast the city gate! Fan Zhongyan said to Yang Zun with a calm face.
"Yes!" Yang obeyed the order and turned to leave.
Soon after, the sound of earth-shattering shouts of killing was heard from the east and west gates of the city of Lejama, and Fan Zhongyan also ordered 5,000 soldiers to feint to attack the city gate, covering the demolition team to bury a barrel of explosives under the city gate.
"How?" Fan Zhongyan, who cared about the work of the demolition team with a telescope, asked Yang Zun, who was in charge of the blasting, with concern after seeing the demolition team return.
"That's it! As long as Master Fan gives an order, the South City Gate will definitely become a ruin! Yang Zun said loudly with excitement on his face.
"Good! Ordered the soldiers to stop the siege, line up the offensive formation, and wait for the city gate to collapse and attack Legamabi! Fan Zhongyan said with great joy.
The new army that came to feint slowly retreated, and quickly reorganized the formation, and with Fan Zhongyan's ignition order, the new army's demolition captain lit the fire lead.
Rumble!
After a loud roar, the south gate of Jamabi was full of flames, gunsmoke, dust, and screams.
Under the equally shocked gaze of the Nova Army and the Lebanese defenders, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the South Gate of Legamabi, including the nearby twenty-meter-long city wall, that greeted everyone's eyes, turned into ruins, and a wide avenue appeared in the eyes of the Nova Army.
"Into town!" Fan Zhongyan saw that the power of the explosive barrel was really amazing, and he raised the sword in his hand with great joy and said loudly to all the new troops.
Brush!
The army marched neatly into the city of Legamat, and the defenders of Legama, who had lost the protection of the strong city walls, were simply the target of the new army, and soon lost the courage to resist and surrendered on their knees.
Fan Zhongyan led the new army to quickly attack the city of Legama, and they fought all the way until the city of Lejama, only to encounter stubborn resistance, and finally the new army with the help of grenades and crossbows, killed all the defenders of the city, and occupied the whole of Legamati in one fell swoop.
……
"General! Big things are not good! The Forces nouvelles had occupied Legamat, Pham Trung Yen had occupied the province, and the whole city had been occupied by them. At the north gate of Jamabi, An Jun, who was waving his army to attack the north gate, suddenly heard the sound of the south gate shaking the sky, and saw the smoke and clouds in the sky.
Damn it! Seeing that the merits of the hand flew away, what secret weapon did the new army have, and it was able to take the entire Legamati in one fell swoop! An Jun looked at the Ma Yi soldiers who fled in chaos at the north gate, and had no interest in attacking, thinking of it in confusion and annoyance.
