Chapter 174: The City That Never Falls
Seeing that the elite western army at the head of the city was being slaughtered one after another, Min Shi, a famous general of the seed family who had been watching the battle from behind, couldn't help but shout: "This is the trick of the Great Liang, they want to consume our troops." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Tong Guan saw that Daliang blew up all the ladders in an instant, and he also knew that he had underestimated Daliang's firearms, and said with an unhappy face: "Collect the troops, and start building Yuliang Avenue tomorrow." β
The beam has not destroyed a large number of ladders, some generals of the Western Army also feel a little strange, the master Min and Tong Guan said about it, the ladder more than ten zhang high is too fragile, the beam can easily destroy the ladder, it is difficult to ensure that the soldiers and horses behind can follow up, but Tong Guan directly as a deaf ear.
Tong Guan used troops in the west for more than ten years, opened up many territories for the Song Dynasty, Tong Guan also became the head of the military attachΓ©, in Tong Guan's view, he should be the hero of the expansion of the territory, even if it cannot be compared with Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and other famous generals, but also than Yang Ye and Di Qing of the dynasty.
But what made Tong Guan angry was that the people actually regarded him as a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people, and the people respected the old man and the people, not him Tong Guan.
When he was a civil official, he disobeyed Cai Jing's will and was dismissed by Cai Jing from the party. Later, he served as a military general, but he still refused to flatter, so he was disliked by Tong Guan, and Zhao Ji summoned the seed master many times, Tong Guan was even more taboo about the seed master Tao.
As Tong Guan continued to use force in the west, the Taoist also continued to make contributions, and the official was called the old man by the army and the people, and he faintly became the first person in the army.
Tong Guan naturally didn't want to be the first person in the army, so he began to suppress the seed army when he transferred troops. I want the entire breeder to disappear from the world's sight.
When Fang La was fighting, there was no family army in Tong Guan's Western Army.
This time to fight Tokyo, the Western Army did not have many available troops. Tong Guan had no choice but to transfer an army of breeders, and the leader of the troops was also Min, a lesser-known breeder among the contemporary breeders.
Tong Guan still wanted some face, and he didn't send the seed master Min to die, but when he attacked the city on a large scale the next day, he let the seed master Min go to battle, which seemed to give the seed master Min a chance to make meritorious contributions.
In fact, in Tong Guan's mind, Liangshan thieves have been in charge for many years. There are also many soldiers and generals who are not afraid of death, and no matter how brave the Western Army is, it is impossible to capture the city in a day.
The result was just as Tong Guan expected. There were no results that day, but more than half of the Min divisions who participated in the battle were killed or wounded.
However, on the third day, it was the Western Army of Tong Guan's cronies, but Tong Guan didn't expect Daliang to use firearms, and the Western Army of his cronies suffered greater casualties.
It was not easy to build a road that led to a wall more than ten feet high and wide enough. This is also the reason why Tong Guan began to choose to attack the city with siege equipment.
Da Liang completely regarded this siege battle as an opportunity to train his troops. More than 100,000 recruits had to take turns to go up to the city every day to draw bows and shoot arrows.
Under the uninterrupted rain of arrows in the big beam, it is even more difficult to build the Yuliang Avenue.
Fortunately, it was the forbidden army that Tong Guan transferred from other state capitals to do these miscellaneous duties, otherwise the Western Army would have suffered more than half of the casualties after piling up Yuliang Avenue.
If it weren't for Tong Guan ordering the Western Army to monitor those forbidden troops, I'm afraid those forbidden troops would have broken and fled.
In two days, the 30,000 Song Dynasty forbidden troops who were doing miscellaneous labor suffered less than 10,000 casualties, and a ten-zhang wide road was paved with earthen bags and corpses.
The real bloody war has just begun.
The western army rushed upwards without dying, and the girder used all the killing weapons, catapults, bed crossbows, divine arm bows, and firearms. Luda, Wu Song, Shi Xiu, Li Kui and other infantry troops all blocked in front of Yuliang Avenue.
Although the Western army was wearing heavy armor, it was still difficult to resist in the face of catapults, bed crossbows, divine arm bows, and firearms. Rows and rows of Western troops fell like wheat harvesting, but the Western army still rushed upwards one after another.
The corpses on Yuliang Avenue were also piled higher and higher, and every half an hour, Tong Guan had to send the forbidden army who was doing miscellaneous labor to move back the corpses of the Western Army and clean up Yuliang Avenue.
Fortunately, Da Liang did not attack these forbidden troops who had been reduced to miscellaneous labor.
The Western Army also gave the Liang soldiers a lesson, so that the Liang recruits knew what tragedy was.
But the Western Army also has a limit, when the attack for half a day, the Western Army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and found that it could not attack the city at all, and the Western Army units were unwilling to attack the city.
Tong Guan still remembered the burning of Hangzhou by the Western Army, and was afraid that the Western Army would cause a mutiny, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.
After rewarding the three armies and resting for a day, Tong Guan ordered the Western Army to attack Tokyo again.
Daliang did not take the opportunity to destroy the Yuliang Avenue piled up by the Song army, but the Western army still could not reach the top of the city.
Catapults, bed crossbows, divine arm bows, and firearms, none of which can be resisted by heavy armor and flesh and blood, especially the divine arm bow is a non-stop shooting, which does not give the Western army any chance at all.
Rows of soldiers with good strings turned around at the head of the city, and when they arrived at the head of Yuliang Avenue, they shot at the head of Yuliang Avenue, and hundreds of paces away could still shoot through the rain of arrows composed of heavy armor divine arm bows, how could flesh and blood pass through.
Before the more than 100,000 soldiers had finished their circle, the Western Army was afraid to move forward again.
Tong Guan could only collect his troops and return to the camp again, but this time, no matter how Tong Guan promised, all units of the Western Army were unwilling to attack the city again, unless Tong Guan let the pro-army around him go into battle.
Tong Guan often used force in the west, although he did not go to the front line, he still selected nearly 10,000 grown up teenagers from the Western Army to be pro-army.
Although Tong Guan was reluctant to let the pro-army go into battle, he had to send the pro-army up under the clamor of the army.
As a result, Tong Guan's pro-army had not been in battle for a long time, and it was even more unbearable, and after two or three thousand casualties, no one dared to approach Yuliang Avenue one step.
Tong Guan valued the pro-army raised by Jin and also disobeyed, and almost angrily pulled off the dozens of beards.
When the stalemate was in place, news came from the border pass that Western Xia sent troops to invade the border.
It turned out that more than half of the 150,000 Western troops in the south of the Yangtze River were killed and wounded in the Western Xia, and after Tong Guan led the 100,000 Western Army to attack Daliang, he raised troops to recapture the places that had been captured by the Western Army over the years.
When Tong Guan learned of the invasion of Western Xia, he just got off the donkey and led the Western army to Kansai.
Shi Jin also announced to the world that he would not attack the Song Dynasty when foreign enemies invaded.
This move was also praised by the people.
However, the girder did not stop the pace of expanding the territory.
Five days after the siege of Tokyo was lifted, Shi Jin sent Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Dong Ping, Sun Li, Luan Tingyu, Lu Da, Wu Song, Shi Xiu and others to lead 50,000 troops to attack Wang Qing.
Wang Qing was originally a rogue soldier, how could he change his nature after the rebellion, and the soldiers and horses under his command were very harmful to the people. In addition, Shi Jin's fame shocked the world, and many heroes have invested in the beam.
Coupled with the powerful firearms of Daliang, in less than a month, Lin Chong and others exterminated Wang Qing and seized several state capitals.
Although Shi Jin told the world that he would not attack the Song Dynasty, there were still several state capitals south of Tokyo that surrendered to the Great Liang, some of them were afraid that Lin Chong would lead the army to attack, and some saw that the Western Army could not take down Tokyo and felt that the Song Dynasty was gone.
