Chapter 125 does the opposite

These mortars have not spoken since they moved to Yulin County, and they are dragged over and dragged over every day, watching people busy with their work, and watching the drama themselves have already suffocated the brothers of these artillery teams, and they quickly unfolded, loaded the shells, measured the shooting yuan, and opened fire.

First of all, the buildings on the city wall suffered, the south gate tower lay down, the arrow tower collapsed, and it was difficult to deal with the city wall. The city wall was originally narrow, and there were relatively few targets in the middle, most of them fell on both sides of the wall, and more than a dozen cannons were fired in a row, Zhao Ta saw that the effect was limited, and ordered the artillery fire to be extended forward.

Zhao Ta knew that the power of the artillery he 'invented', the killing area of the flowering bomb was more than 20 square meters, and the effect of a high-powered grenade was about the same, and it would be put in the future generations such a large-caliber shell could destroy half of the building, fortunately, at this time there was no invention of reinforced concrete, the buildings were all civil structures, and the projectile flying dozens of meters high could break through the roof with the help of the potential energy that fell. But watching the bowl-sized iron ball fall from the sky, fall to the ground with a bang, and then explode again, and the horizontal shrapnel shoots in all directions, and the explosion can scare people to death even if they don't kill people.

You think that this city is also a big place, and there are now more than 2,000 garrisons in it, plus the family members of the military supervision department, the yamen and the officials, how can there be five or six thousand people, it is simply an ant's nest, how can every shell land can kill a few people. The flames of the explosion ignited the houses, and everywhere there was thick smoke, gunpowder smoke, and fire everywhere, the problem was that no one had ever seen such a weapon, and the people who were not killed by the bombing were scurrying around like frightened ant colonies, which caused even greater panic ...

After several rounds of artillery bombardment, except for the south gate, the other three city gates were opened almost at the same time, the drawbridge was left behind, and people flocked out, but the city was not big, and the gate could be so big, the men and horses trampled on each other, and were squeezed into the moat, and countless people were trampled to death, and the men, women, and children cried and shook the sky. Zhao Ta was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him, this is really an unexpected gain, besieging a city and capturing a city are completely two different concepts, especially this kind of state and county administration with a certain status, the impact on morale and politics is huge.

Of course, Zhao Ta would not give up the gift given to him by God, but he did not take immediate action, but when there were three or four thousand people fleeing, he ordered the Flying Tiger Battalion to attack, and used a roundabout tactical move to attract the fleeing people and soldiers, because the people who ran out at this time wanted to go back, but only fled wholeheartedly, and there was no fighting spirit, so they were left to be chased and beaten. And the people in the city, who run slowly, are either old and weak, women and children, or have too much property, carrying large bags and small bags, packing up the soft and delaying time, they have no ability to resist, and they can't hold the city if they want to.

'Surrounded by a hundred horsemen, you can wrap up the crowd', the three Flying Tiger Battalions are each responsible for one side, and they are in a group to form a surprise attack, with knives and guns, to hunt down the fleeing Western Xia people, they are not greedy, they can catch as much as they want, anyway, it is for nothing. People are sometimes like this, once their faith collapses, they have no thought of resisting, watching the shiny sabers flying above their heads, the rushing companions are shot down one after another, the timid ones throw down their weapons and surrender, there is an example and two learn, and it doesn't take long, the outside of the city is full of gangs of captives, of course, even if you run fast, even if you get cheap, no one will chase them to the death.

When Zhao Ta led the Jaguar battalion into the city, the situation inside was even worse than he expected, with corpses piling up, houses collapsing, and the streets full of discarded armor and discarded belongings. He knew that he didn't have much time, so he ordered people to rush everyone who hadn't escaped yet. Let people pick out a few captives who can speak Chinese, and when asked, they learned that their first round of artillery fire collapsed the city gate building, which frightened the three leaders who stayed behind. …,

Just when the three of them were arguing, another round of artillery fire arrived, but Qu Er and Wu Li, who advocated resistance, were killed, and how dare to wait for the two people who picked up their lives, gathered their own soldiers, braved the artillery fire to open the city gate and ran, the other crowds were leaderless, and wanted to find the people in the palace to get an idea, and saw that the people were also busy packing the car, ready to preserve their strength! In an instant, the people's hearts were scattered, and where could the remaining petty officials be suppressed, they followed the trend and cheapened Zhao Ta!

After asking about the situation, Zhao Tazi led a team of people straight to Li Jifeng's palace to raid his house, and walked to the door of their mansion, where Zhao Ta encountered the only organized resistance in the city. These hopeless royal families, both men and women, led swords and guns and family soldiers to launch a charge again and again, they were knocked down by rounds of dense shots, but they still charged non-stop, which is not so much to say that they are resisting, but rather to show the most impeccable temperament of a royal family!

Zhao Ta walked into the Yunwang Mansion with blood, in addition to the gold and silver, he was also interested in those documents and maps, loaded into the car, and did not forget to remove the plaque on Li Jifeng's gate before leaving, which was the evidence that he captured the Mida Cave. They then looted the treasury, set the city on fire, drove the captives on the road to join Zhao Ren, and then headed east.

"Alas!" Zhao Ta looked at the cart full of loads, the pack horses carrying the belongings, the crowd crying when they left their hometowns, the resentful eyes, the excitement and joy of the victor suddenly disappeared in his heart, and he sighed long, this is history, a bloody scroll, the rise of a nation must be built on the decline and suffering of another nation, no matter how whitewashed in the history books, this fact cannot be concealed.

"Second master, is it sad that you didn't catch those beautiful county lords?" Seeing that the prince's mood had deteriorated, Zhao Xin Tima teased him in parallel.

"Hehe, then what are you happy about, you still have to stay by my side to serve tea and water, and make the bed and fold the quilt as a coolie!" Zhao Tan looked at Zhao Xin, who was a little proud, and sneered, wondering in his heart if he didn't catch a single person alive, if this guy made a ghost and killed all those people for his own joke. Thinking of this, he trembled in his heart, if the truth is like this, he will suffer in the future.

"I do!" Zhao Xin made a grimace and said, but seeing that the prince's eyes seemed to be a little wrong, his face darkened and he said, "What's the matter, isn't the second master unwilling?" ”

"Someone is waiting, what am I not willing to do, I'm afraid that one day you won't want to follow me!" Zhao Ta said with a grin.

"How could it be, unless the second master drove me away!" Zhao Xin dodged for a moment, and then looked at the prince and said.

"Lord Wang, the scout came to report, and ordered the group of people to follow, less than thirty miles away from us!" At this time, Zhao Ren caught up with the prince to report.

"Let the two battalions of Feihu and Jaguar and the township soldiers drive away the prisoners, escort the property to speed up and go first, after the second battalion of Xunshi and Tenglong is broken off with the Chinese army, all dismount and move slowly, and all the rangers return to the army with the army!" Zhao Ta looked at the sun in the sky and pondered for a moment.

"Lord Wang, this..."Zhao Renleng, what kind of plan is this Lord Wang? According to the normal practice, it is now right to prepare to form a formation to resist the enemy or abandon the plundered population and property and speed forward, and get rid of the enemy's pursuit!

"Execute it immediately, and I'll explain it to you later!" Zhao Ta Zhengse said. Although Zhao Ren was full of suspicion now, he still immediately followed the order.

The distance of more than 20 miles is indeed not far for the cavalry, and half an hour later, Zhao Tadu can already see the handsome banner of the Xia army and see the dust and smoke stirred up by the cavalry, but he still did not change the order, and led the horse like everyone else.

"Lord Wang, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd, Xia Jun will catch up, if we don't get on the horse, it's too late!" The prince can see it, Zhao Ren can see it, and he caught up with the prince and said anxiously. …,

"Zhao Ren, let me make a bet with you, Xia Jun doesn't dare to get close to our army within two arrows, do you dare to bet?" Zhao Ta said to him with a smile.

"Don't dare, the prince has always had no last resort, I will lose!" Zhao Ren immediately shook his head and rejected the prince's bet.

"You're so boring, you refused before I made a bet, what are you doing?" Zhao Ta said dissatisfiedly.

"Because we have never won a bet with the prince, we have lost every time, knowing the result, who would dare to bet with the prince!" At this time, several generals came over and wanted to persuade the prince to go first, but seeing this situation, Zhao Yong pouted and said.

"Ha Luha, you are all afraid of this king!" Zhao Ta looked at a few people and said with a smile, including Gao Zhong, who had just been with the prince for less than two years, nodded yes, "Okay, then let me ask you, if we get on our horses and run away when we find that the Xia army is approaching, can we get rid of the pursuers?" ”

"This..."Zhao Yong calculated slightly, "Now our army is still sixty or seventy miles away from Jialu Village, if it is the case of recuperation, there should be no problem, the current situation is that we have been fighting for nearly twenty days in a row, and the horsepower is declining, and the Xia army is mostly one person and two horses, even if we can barely get rid of it, the horses must be scrapped, and the craftsmen and property that have been captured have to be returned to them!" ”

"Well, that's pretty honest!" Zhao Ta nodded and asked, "Think about it again, if our army is in formation on the spot and waiting for the Xia army, can we repel them and return with their whole body?" ”

"Can't!" Gao Zhong immediately rejected the prince's statement, "Although our army has won more with less many times, in addition to the sharp guns, they all fought in danger, avoided the enemy's edge, and killed the enemy a lot before launching an attack and defeating it; After going deep into the summer realm, it also avoided the enemy brigade and used the method of surprise attack to attack the weakly fortified enemy; But the terrain here is open, there is no danger to defend, the formation is stuck in place, the enemy army is ten times that of mine, and our army is short of ammunition, the soldiers are tired, it is difficult to last, once the ammunition is exhausted, it is the result of the annihilation of the whole army! ”

"The left and right are defeated, so Lord Wang, you went the opposite way and gambled with Xia Jun, betting that Xia Jun would not dare to rush forward to fight us, isn't it too risky?" Zhao Ren understood at this moment, Lord Wang, this is Xia Jun has put up a gamble, and the bet is the life of the whole army and even himself!
