Chapter 319: Attacking Hengshan Mineral Medicine and Destroying the Main Force, Western Xia is on the verge of death
The main reason why the Yokoyama defense line is difficult to fight is that it is a mountainous area.
All military cities and forts are built in dangerous places.
Either two mountains and one road, or the terrain is steep and difficult to climb.
Yue Fei, who was in battle for the first time, was going to attack Luyi Fort in a narrow place between two mounds.
This kind of place is meaningless to go over the mountains and mountains, because your logistics can't be transported, so what can people do when they go over the mountains?
Not to mention that it is a barren land, during the war, it is even more fortified and clear, and rat meat cannot be eaten.
The so-called war is fought with logistics, and what is maintained is the logistics line.
Only when logistics are supplied will there be combat effectiveness.
Therefore, if you face Luyi Fort, it can only be a direct attack.
The open space in front of the military fort is narrow, and at most it can accommodate 100 people to come forward, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack in the true sense.
There are also trebuchets in the fort, and if there is an artillery battle on both sides, it will take at least half a month to take it.
Li Yunze didn't have so much time to spend here, so he simply arranged for the cannon fodder of the dead soldiers' battalion to push an iron-clad wooden cart loaded with explosives for mining and went straight to the fort gate.
Yue Fei's daring warrior is to provide support for him.
"Master." Before the battle, Yue Fei saw Zhou Dong who came to visit, and immediately complained, "Can you tell Senior Brother, you don't need to take care of me like this." ”
Zhou Tong was puzzled, "You are going to attack the city, that is, it is stronger than those dead soldiers' battalions, how can you take care of it?" ”
"Master, look." Yue Fei patted the sturdy armor stomach on his body, and then motioned to the brave warriors in the same department nearby, "We are just brave warriors, but everyone is issued with such a good armor stomach. The amount of food and clothing these days is even better than I have ever thought of.
There must be wine and meat at noon. Such treatment, not even the forbidden army..."
Yue Fei thought that it was all because he was Li Yunze's junior brother, so he was taken care of so much.
"Hahahaha~~~" When Zhou Dong heard this, he immediately laughed, "You, you don't understand anything." Also, you are just a daring warrior, so you naturally don't know, now that the soldiers and horses are strong, your senior brother is willing to spend money in the army. This is how it is treated in the army today. Don't say it's you
These brave warriors who are going into battle, even the Bow and Arrow Society Solidarity Society, which transports grain and grass, can also be mixed with a leather armor. It's not that they are reluctant to give them iron armor, but they can't use the grain and grass to escort them. ”
Yue Fei was surprised, "Is that really the case?" How did the imperial court become so rich? ”
Zhou Dong's expression was a little stunned: "Although your senior brother has become a powerful minister, things are done well." The twilight of the past few years has been swept away. You and I have traveled all the way, and the smiles on the faces of people everywhere have obviously increased. ”
Recalling what he saw and heard along the way, not only were the many bandits and strongmen like cattle hair almost gone, but the people everywhere looked obviously better, and the clothes on their bodies were also thicker.
Yue Fei nodded slowly, and he also felt that Senior Brother had done a good job.
"Pengju." Zhou Dong said earnestly: "No matter what happens to your senior brother in the future, whether he is ruined and discredited by the Qing monarch, or he embarks on the path of Zen and giving up the throne." You just have to pay attention to whether the people of the world have a better life. If it's better, you can do anything
I didn't see it, I was fighting abroad to resist foreign humiliation. If your senior brother doesn't do well, then hang up the seal and go, and be at ease in the rivers and lakes. ”
Yue Fei bowed deeply, "The apprentice knows." ”
After eating, the sound of a low military horn resounded throughout the barracks, and a large number of sergeants were neatly dressed and left the camp one after another under the leadership of generals at all levels.
Originally, this kind of battle was only at the level of thousands of people, and there was no need for a general of Li Yunze's identity to be present in person.
】
But who let this be Yue Pengju's first battle, Li Yunze personally led the team to watch the battle in the back.
The cannon fodder braved the rain of arrows and cannon stones of the defenders, gritting their teeth and pushing the heavy wooden cart slowly.
Around the carts, shieldmen with large shields were guarded, and in the back were crossbowmen firing at the defenders on the ramparts.
As for the daring soldiers, they swept further behind.
Although they did not know what was in the wooden cart, the defenders knew that they must not be allowed to get close.
All kinds of defensive equipment flocked to the city, and arrows fell like raindrops of stones, fire putty bottles, thunder stones, and rolling logs.
The defenders even resorted to powerful bed crossbows.
The bed crossbow with strong kinetic energy can even penetrate the iron sheet of the wooden car, and the heavy wooden car that shakes with it is also swaying.
More than a dozen crossbows were lost one after another, and they were nailed to the wooden cart like a circle of needles.
Seeing that the shot could not penetrate the covered wooden cart, the defenders turned to attack the dead man pushing the wooden cart.
Although he was wearing a heavy armor stomach on his body, he could face the stout crossbow that was half a human tall in the face of the bed crossbow, but all those who were shot were directly shot through and nailed to the ground.
The crossbow was lost and pierced through the body but was not dead for a while, and the desperate screams really made people's scalps tingle to hear.
There were dead soldiers who couldn't bear it and turned around and ran, but they were quickly killed directly by the generals who supervised the battle.
The sources of these dead soldiers, in addition to the death row prisoners in various places, are more prisoners captured during the suppression of bandits, as well as those gentry and wealthy families.
Of course, they did not have the consciousness of dying for Li Yunze and the Great Song Dynasty. The only thing that can supervise them is the sword of the warlord.
Seeing that morale was in danger of collapsing in the face of the huge deterrent power of the bed crossbow, one of the dead soldiers who shot arrows came out of the crowd, and the bow and arrow in his hand roared out like a meteor, shooting the Western Xia soldiers who operated the bed crossbow one after another.
Such superb archery skills naturally amazed everyone.
"Hua Rong really has real skills, it's a pity." Li Yunze, who witnessed this scene later, shook his head slightly, this guy was brainwashed by Song Jiang, and it was really pitiful and lamentable.
"For his sister's sake, give it a chance."
The choice of life is really important, Hua Rong let Song Jiang and the others go, but now he can barely save his life by relying on his sister's nepotism, and fight for his life in this dead camp.
In addition, there is also the big sword Guan Sheng, when Li Yunze supported Zhao Huan to take the throne, Guan Sheng refused to accept the order, thinking that he could not move troops without the order of the official.
As a result, it was originally a very promising future, but because of this, he was sent back to continue his own inspection, and he estimated that he would have to retire.
Hua Rong's performance boosted morale, and without the terrible threat of the bed crossbow, the dead soldiers regained their courage and pushed the wooden cart under the city gate with a snort.
The defenders' thunder stones and fire ash bottles were thrown down as if they didn't want money, but the result was useless.
According to Li Yunze's professor, the detonation procedure was started, and then everyone rushed back.
There was a thunderclap on a sunny day, and a cloud of dust rose into the sky, enveloping the entire military fort.
The flying gravel and dirt even smashed into the assembly place of the brave warriors thousands of paces away.
Yue Fei, who was stunned, shook his head, and subconsciously leaned over and picked up a piece of gravel, which was already crystallized at an extremely high temperature, and it would shatter when touched.
"It's... What spell?! ”
Before Yue Fei could figure it out, the horn of the attack over there had already sounded.
A group of thousands of brave soldiers lined up in thousands and pressed towards the direction of the military fort.
Behind them were the elite of the forbidden army in heavy foot armor.
The expected fierce battle did not occur, and the defenders on the city walls had already been wiped out, and those within a radius of several hundred steps were almost the same.
Bypassing the crater, following the ruins of the crumbling city walls into the fort, the gray and debris was all in pieces.
It was all the way through the dust area to the other side of the fort, and then I saw the defenders who were already frightened crazy.
Yue Fei leaned over and flipped a Western Xia sergeant lying on the ground, but the place where he started was extremely soft, and after careful inspection, he found that the bones and internal organs were actually broken!
Only then did he gasp.
What a divine thing this is, it's so terrifying!
If this is the case, then what is it for us to wait for those who practice martial arts to work hard for more than ten years?
It's like after the appearance of machine guns, the steppe tribes became good at singing and dancing.
When thermal weapons appeared, the practice of martial arts could only be to strengthen the body.
After all, even if he is a famous hero in the world, it is a shot down.
With tons of minerals to open the way, the military fort city that needed to be filled with the lives of countless Song soldiers was easily broken down one after another at this time.
The Hengshan defense line, which the Tangut people were proud of, was so vulnerable in the face of mine explosives.
The reason why he no longer uses C4 and turns to this is because Li Yunze feels that the acquisition of C4 is too high-profile, and every time he returns to the modern world recently, he always feels as if a pair of eyes are staring at him.
It is much easier to convert into mining drugs, and there are many mines in South Africa, and the regulation of this thing is also very loose, so it will not be so eye-catching.
In addition to destroying the Hengshan defense line of the Tangut people, the use of mineral medicine also played another unexpected role.
On this side of Hengshan, there are many party members, Qiang people, and even Khitan people, as well as miscellaneous people who can't say what they are.
In the past, most of them were on the side of the Western Xia, and whenever a major war broke out, they would ride horses and carry bows and arrows to attack the Song army.
It can be seen that after seeing the earth-shattering movement of the fortified city being blown open, these Hu people gradually changed their concepts and began to contact the Song army to change camps.
Li Yunze naturally did not refuse to come.
Just give some money and food, and then arrange some messy duties and dispatches for the tribal leaders, send some gold, silver and jewelry, etc., and you can get a large number of cannon fodder, why not.
As more and more Hu people joined, the size of Li Yunze's army became larger and larger.
The Xixia people didn't expect the Hengshan defense line to be broken through so quickly, and they were still blocked in Pingxia City before, afraid that the Song army would come to a standing army that would drive straight in, so they hurriedly dispatched it.
By the time they came, it was too late.
Successfully broke through the narrow and difficult Hengshan defense line, and the scale of the Song army had expanded to more than 100,000 people, like a flood that swept the entire Hengshan Seven Prefectures.
Dragon, Yin, You, Hong, Shi, Yan, Xia Qizhou, plus the Jianing Military Division, the Left Wing Shenyong Military Division and the Xiang Right Military Division were all defeated.
In the past, the walls were strong enough to resist the siege of the army for months or even years, and in front of the explosives, it was just a cigarette.
When the main force of the Standing Army of Western Xia finally crossed the Yanchi Desert and came to the outside of Yanzhou City, they were greeted by the main force of the Song Army that had been waiting for a long time.
The armor soldiers pressed forward in formation, the crossbowmen army followed, and the light horses on both sides galloped and harassed.
The defeat of the Tangut people was a matter of course.
The standing army, which was less than 50,000 men, was almost completely wiped out in this battle.
Because there is a desert behind him, when he fled, he was chased all the way by Fanqi, and it was almost impossible to escape.
The famous iron harrier, the famous step puller, the famous ...
A group of elite soldiers and horses of Western Xia were completely removed in this battle.
According to the theory of war, the main battle determines the fate of the country.
When the Western Xia lost the Hengshan defense line on which they depended, and lost almost all the main forces of the standing army, their fate was already doomed!
The Western Xia, which had rebelled against the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, finally came to be beaten down by its former master.
