Section 304 It is difficult to save the overall situation
Liu Yansi and Zhang Junyue can't hold it anymore, and they can't grasp such a good opportunity, so they really don't want to fight.
The purpose of entering the city has been achieved, no matter how the Zhao clan chooses in the end, but the division within Caizhou is a foregone conclusion.
Yuan Huaifeng doesn't have that much ability to suppress the impact of splitting, even if Yuan Huaihe is here, the army is a little divided, so where can there be much energy to defend the city?
It's time to pull out the city!
Seeing the expressions of the two of them eager to try, Yang Kan knew what they were thinking, but at this time they were already ready to fly, Yang Kan also believed that no one could reverse the situation, and he was in charge, so it was good to leave this opportunity to fight in the city to the other party, which could be regarded as a good fate.
"I won't say much about the two of you, beware of Yuan Huaifeng and Yuan Invincible Dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, pay attention to your own safety, if you are invincible, let the magic strong crossbowmen and magic weapons be strong, don't be strong!"
"Privy rest assured, the great victory is imminent, and we are not the kind of profligate. Liu Yansi also pursed his lips and smiled, "Everything is for the purpose of winning, and everything else can be put aside." ”
"Well, it's good to understand, let's go, I'm waiting here for your good news, and I guess I should go to the city over there. Yang Kan nodded.
The two armies were like evil dragons that suddenly raised their heads, and launched a direct attack from both flanks of the east gate, with the strong attack of the two armies, the stone artillery and the fire dragon cannon also launched the most ferocious round of bombardment, and the heavy ballista even simply reached the city wall to launch a counterfire, which also caused heavy losses to the Yuan army defending the city, which was already a little unbearable.
Of course, the price paid by the Song army is not small, especially in terms of equipment, the Caizhou army, which occupies a geographical advantage, is still stubbornly resisting, after all, this is where their family house is, taking a step back, maybe the city is destroyed.
It is this momentum, even if they are at an absolute disadvantage, they are still unwilling to fail, even if there is the last hope, they have to resist to the end.
The confrontation between Mei Guo and Yuan Wushu has entered the most thrilling duel, the green Shen Sword against the overlord Ge, the black clouds in the sky are mixed with pale green light and shadow, just inside and outside the Zhao family's mansion, the howling sound pierces the heart, and the sword qi is strong, and it is even more to scrape off a layer of soil from the mansion.
Pang Zushou paid attention to Mei Quan's fight with Yuan Wuxian, and at the same time killed the remaining strong crossbowmen to avoid the damage to Mei Quan, of course, when necessary, he did not hesitate to give Yuan Wushu a supplementary blow to completely end his fate.
At this time, Yuan Wushu had already expected everything, but instead threw away all his thoughts, faced Mei Guo wholeheartedly, and brought his martial arts strength to the extreme.
Zhao Tianshou had already left, he knew very well that the city was about to be destroyed, and all he had to do was to let the army that the Zhao clan could control immediately withdraw to guard his home.
You must know that the Song army who entered the city after a hard battle did not know the difference here, Pang Zushou explained to him that all the gentry and merchants who belonged to the Zhao clan or were related to the Zhao clan could be sheltered, and they only needed to hang a green flag outside their home.
The king of the Song Dynasty rose in the east, advocating wood, and the green flag represented the Song Dynasty, indicating that life is endless.
The harm brought by Zhao Tianshou's approach to Caizhoujun is obvious, when the surrounding robes are left in groups, who can continue to stick to their posts and fight bloodily, and when the family house can be preserved, who is willing to face death?
Yuan Huaifeng soon felt this irreversible change in the situation, several city walls were broken through, even if they temporarily pressed the reserves, they could only deal with it like a leak, and when Liu Yansi and Zhang Junyue jointly attacked, the whole situation turned to an inevitable collapse.
The southern city wall was the first to be breached, and the fire dragon cannons on the enemy's naval ships burned a corner of the southwest city wall into white ground, and the Song army that rushed in quickly broke through the south gate, and at this time Liu Yansi and Zhang Junyue also boarded the east city wall.
Everything is irretrievable, Yuan Huaifeng knows very well that this is not a crime of war, and the huge difference in strength is destined to have no suspense in this battle.
Then let's fight, use a battle to decide everything, after giving birth to this heart, Yuan Huaifeng's heart is transparent and free.
Facing the direction that Liu Yansi and Zhang Junyue were coming from, Yuan Huaifeng let out a long roar and flew up.
Ten thousand cannons fired in unison, bombardment for half an hour, the light and flames covered the sky, and the entire northern city wall slowly collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Feng stood on the high platform, his face expressionless.
The onslaught of three consecutive days has finally ushered in the day of collapse of Shangcai, a famous city in the north of Caizhou, and the joint efforts of Zhou Wang and Wang Shouxin have made the progress of this battle suddenly accelerated.
The city wall is still spitting out green plants with fangs and claws, which is a spell plant ban set up by Caizhou, but under the suppression of the dominant Song army's magic mage power, these have nothing to do with the overall situation, and it is difficult to stop the advance of the army at all.
"Yuan Huaihe still hasn't shown up?" Jiang Feng tilted his head slightly.
"I still haven't seen him, I haven't seen him for two days. Zhang Wanshan next to him said in a deep voice.
The news from Ruyang that Ruyang had been breached, Yang Kan led a large army into the city, Yuan Wushu and Yuan Huaifeng both died, but the Song army also paid the price.
Mei was injured, and killing Yuan Wushu made him pay the price, but fortunately, with the assistance of Pang Zushou, the injury was not serious.
Liu Yansi and Zhang Junyue both suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, there was no danger to their lives, and the combat power of Yuan Huaifeng, who was thinking of fighting for his life, was indeed surprising.
As soon as Ruyang is broken, in fact, the battle of Shangcai is no longer of much significance, so Jiang Feng would rather be more stable than a strong attack, even if he runs out of equipment, he is not willing to lose one more general, and it will be a battle between the Song army and the Jin army and the Khitans in the future, and the future war will be the battle between Hu and Han, and these people are needed more.
Intelligence from all sides showed that Yuan Huaihe had not been seen, and it was Yuan Wuxing who presided over the overall situation in the city.
However, this has nothing to do with the overall situation, even if Yuan Huaihe escapes alone, what can he do? Caizhou's foundation has been destroyed, and even if he has the power of the overlord, it will be difficult to save the overall situation.
"Let the Ya army go first, the Heshuo army follow first, and the Wuning army follow!" Jiang Feng finally gave the order to attack.
As the smoke and clouds in the sky slowly faded, the entire Shangcai City began to calm down from the initial noise, leaving only the sound of the soldiers' orders and the sound of horses' hooves marching on the street.
"So Yuan Huaihe and Yuan Wuxing both fled to Yuncheng?" Jiang Feng's face was a little unsightly, and his hand was on the armrest of the Hu chair.
"When it is. Cui Shang didn't care too much, "Judging from the news reported by the He family and the Xue family, Yuan Huaihe has left the city ahead of schedule, and he should go to Yuncheng to arrange, and the news from Yuncheng is that the An Chongrong Department of the Shatuo Cavalry has entered Yuncheng." ”
Yuncheng is an important town in the north of Caizhou, like a sharp knife inserted in the waist of Xuzhou, Yuan Huaihe chose Yuncheng to defend, and at the same time obtained the support of the Shatuo people, if you want to fight Yuncheng again, I am afraid it is the national war between the Song State and the Jin State.
"This is also a temptation, it seems that Li Cunhou also wants to find a way to tie up those Hu noble chieftains who are unwilling to fight on the boat. Jiang Feng said with some annoyance.
"That's true, my lord, the Tianping army is facing off against Shi Jingjiao on the front line of Caozhou, and here An Chongrong has entered Yuncheng again, Li Cunhou may also feel the pressure, Feng Daohe and Hening are not fools, they are also aware of the threat to them in the future of our Great Song Dynasty, and want to provoke a war. Cui Shang groaned: "The minister thinks that he needs to maintain restraint to watch the situation change. ”
Now is not a good time to break out a full-scale war, after several years of war, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is large enough, and he has great righteousness, especially after marrying Li Jin, this righteous advantage will be more obvious, and it will slowly be reflected in the centripetal force of the people, as long as his policy is not wrong, even if he recuperates for a year and a half, he can make his strength have a great improvement, which Jiang Feng knows very well.
But the problem is that now it is the Shatuo people who are putting on an aggressive posture, wanting to force themselves to fight, and the more the other party wants to force themselves to fight, then the more they cannot let it succeed, and the other party does not dare to take the initiative to start a war, which shows that there are still strong anti-war voices within it, but this is where they can take advantage of it.
"What if Lone hands over Caizhou to Liu Xuan?" Jiang Feng said suddenly.
"No. Cui Shang shook his head in disagreement, "If this is the case, the Shatuo people are bound to go south to seize Caizhou, and Liu Xuan will be difficult to resist, which will expose our intentions." ”
Jiang Feng nodded, he knew that there was indeed something wrong with his idea, but if the Shatuo people were pressing forward step by step, how should he deal with it?
The Shatuo people are not Caizhou, they can be killed in one fell swoop, if they fall into the entanglement with the Shatuo people, they will not have the strength to consolidate the situation like many new annexes, and this option is not good.
Hearing that Yang Wenchang's barracks had entered the inner countryside and coveted Nanyang, the minister suspected that the Shatuo people might want to use Nanyang as bait to lure Yang Wenchang eastward and form an alliance with him. Cui Shang is also thinking about this question, "This shows that Li Cunhou has not yet made up his mind to fight us, or they do not have enough confidence in fighting us,......
"What does Bai Ling mean that we can also invite Yang Wenchang to the east?" Jiang Feng's eyes lit up.
"Yes, if we take advantage of Nanyang and invite us to attack Xuzhou together, what will Yang Wenchang think?" a treacherous smile appeared on the corner of Cui Shang's mouth.
"Yang Wenchang will only swallow the bait, but he will not take the bait, and will even take the initiative to show our intentions to the Shatuo people to show goodwill to the Shatuo people,......" Jiang Feng nodded while understanding, "Then the Shatuo people may not dare to move." ”
"Yes, the minister thinks the same, if the Shatuo people think that we are also looking forward to a war, then they have to be a little scrupulous, and Yang Wenchang's two-sided and three-sided swords will also make them jealous, maybe Yang Wenchang, who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, might also give them a knife from the flank?" Cui Shang smiled even more, "What we want is such an effect." ”
