Chapter 173: The Summer of Dinghai (Part II)
In the early morning, before the sky was completely light, more than 200 carts appeared at the gate of the Mongolian army camp outside Yingli City.
"What for?"
A few Mongolian soldiers came out of the camp bag, came to the camp gate, and asked about the party. They were the foot soldiers of the Mongolian army, watching people cook, and food was also prepared for them.
"Official, I came from Shatuo to deliver food to Yingli. The military men are right behind! ”
Wang Ying hurriedly replied with a hippie smile and party words.
Most of the Mongolian army were cavalry, and the large camp was set up outside the city, one is the habit of customs, but the outside of the city is wide, which is conducive to cavalry attacks.
"Come with me and get the grain to the granary to the south."
The Mongolian soldiers glanced at the lazy "Mongolian army" cavalry behind them, and directly moved away from the horses and let the carts of the people into the camp.
The trenches and wooden stakes were so-so, there were no arrow towers, the camp was deserted, the snoring was like thunder, and it seemed that most of the Mongolian army was still sleeping.
Wang Ying snorted softly and shook his head secretly.
The Mongolian army is afraid of heat, and the early morning is cool, which is a good time to sleep. In addition, the Mongol army attacked the city all the way and was invincible, and there was no war in Western Xia.
Wang Ying touched the cold grenade on his waist, and waited for a while, he had to make this place a sea of corpses and blood.
It's a pity that the cavalry is lacking, otherwise this iron cavalry will be a good scene.
It's a pity for Li Shou......
Wang Ying's nose was sour, and when he looked up, he seemed to have walked halfway through the camp. Wang Ying gently took out the sky-shaking thunder in his waist, unscrewed the iron cover, and then took out the fire fold to polish it, igniting the lead of the earth-shaking thunder.
"What are you going to do on a dog's day? Hurry up and ......"
The Meng soldiers who led the way were full of surprise, and before they finished speaking, the Song soldiers behind him held sharp blades and stabbed him several times in the back and neck.
"Sleep well!"
Wang Ying whispered softly, stepped forward to open the felt curtain of a camp bag, and threw the smoking earth-shattering thunder in his hand.
All!
Violent explosions resounded in the Mongolian army camp, one after another, breaking the silence of the early morning.
"Pikemen, prepare!"
Cao Erxiong shouted loudly and struggled to urge the horse forward.
"Brothers, follow me across the northern camp of Tatars!"
With a roar, Cao Erxiong rushed into the camp gate with hundreds of cavalry. Behind the cavalry, countless pikemen followed.
"The artillery, all set up, aimed at the city gate!"
Zhao Wei shouted angrily.
The Mongolian army camp outside the city had its own grenadiers and pikemen to deal with, with Cao Erxiong and 200 cavalry to help. He only needs to lead the artillery to deal with the Mongolian cavalry that may appear in the city.
The earth-shattering thunder continued to explode in the camp, and the shattered pieces of iron flew wantonly, reaping the lives of the Mongol army. Pillars of smoke billowed everywhere in the camp, one camp bag after another was blown apart, many camps collapsed, and the smell of choking gunpowder filled everywhere. From some tattered camp bags, it can be seen that countless wounded Mongolian soldiers are wriggling and moaning in pools of blood, letting out terrible screams, and the cries are earth-shattering.
Summer is hot, and early mornings are a good time to sleep. The Song army rose suddenly, and the paralyzed and careless Mongolian army was caught off guard. Many Mongolian soldiers lost their lives while they were still asleep. And the entire Mongolian army camp also fell into chaos.
Some of the Mongol troops were killed and wounded by the earth-shattering thunder of the Song army before they could rush out of the tents. Some tents fell, and the Song army did not hesitate, and stabbed the Mongolian soldiers who were struggling to come out of the tents, and the screams were endless, staining the guns and barrels of the guns red, and also staining the tents red.
Throwing out three earth-shattering thunderbolts in a row, Wang Ying, together with all the Song soldiers, immediately took out spears from the grain cart, worked in groups of three, or lined up, and went straight to the panicked Mongolian army in the smoke of gunpowder.
The Mongolian army didn't have time to put on their armor, many of them were naked with swords and bows, and some of them met the Song army who rushed to meet in a narrow way, and they collided together in an instant.
The shouting and scolding continued, Turkic dialect, Mongolian dialect, Dangxiang dialect, Jurchen dialect, Chinese dialect, Dashi language, and even some unknown languages, immediately in close combat, flesh and blood flying, and soon a large number of people fell to the ground.
The smell of blood filled the air, corpses and moaning and screaming wounded people everywhere, broken arms and hands, human organs all over the ground, and both sides stepped on blood and mutilated limbs to fight for their lives, and everyone blushed.
"Brothers, kill!"
Cao Erxiong took the lead, took the lead, and led the Song cavalry on a rampage, desperately slashing and killing. The knights crowded around him, forming a cavalry array of arrows and charging forward.
Although the Song army lacked horses and cavalry, the cavalry was well-armored and the horses were well protected. Compared with the armor of the Mongolian army, the fine steel armor of the Song army undoubtedly has a huge advantage, and the impact power is also amazing.
The Song army's cavalry array swept all the way, destroying the withering and decaying, and the panicked Mongolian army was constantly slashed and killed, and soon the northern camp of the Mongolian army was penetrated.
The panicked Mongolian army fled to the south of the camp, and Cao Erxiong was about to continue to charge with the army, but was stopped by the generals.
Cao Erxiong is the commander of the first army, and if he dies in an unfortunate battle, the generals will not be able to bear this responsibility.
"General, Tatar warhorse!"
A sergeant pointed to the horses in the stable, and the countless war horses screamed in surprise.
How to look at it, there are also thousands of war horses.
In the camp of the Mongolian army, almost all the horses outside the tents of the Mongolian army are armed, but each person has one. The rest of the war horses should still be domesticated in a centralized manner to avoid overcrowding in the camp.
"What's so strange about this! I heard that the Tatar expedition to the west, one cavalry has six war horses, and the wealth is rich, so I have to obey it! ”
Cao Erxiong suppressed the shock in his heart and said disdainfully.
With these captured war horses, the army under the command of Lu Wende will greatly increase its mobility, and the time will still be afraid of the Mongol cavalry.
"Some people are optimistic about the stable! The other part of me will come with me to deal with the remnants of the Tatar army! ”
Cao Erxiong shouted loudly, his eyes on Yingli City, and the city gate was always closed.
"Thorn!"
Wang Ying shouted angrily, and together with several Song army pikemen, he stabbed straight with his spear, and the Mongolian army on the opposite side was stabbed piece by piece, and almost no one could stop him. They marched all the way along the middle line of the camp, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, no matter how fierce the Mongolian warriors were, they were all stabbed by their spears, and soon there were countless blood holes, and they fell to the ground.
The Mongolian cavalry is good at cavalry archery, but it is a weakness in infantry formation. The pikemen of the Song army fought in groups, with countless spearheads, dodging one or two, but not the third and fourth. In particular, the Song army's stabbing and spear skills were hugely lethal, steady and ruthless, and the stabs were all fatal and vital points, and the Mongolian army could not dodge, either dead or seriously injured. The pikemen of the Song army moved forward all the way, invincible, and the Mongolian army fell one after another, constantly retreating in a hurry.
"Bow and arrow, shoot!"
The generals of the Mongolian army were all veteran generals in the army, who had experienced countless battles, and they shouted loudly and commanded the Mongolian army to shoot and kill the Song soldiers under the cover of tents.
The feather arrows roared, and the Song soldiers were constantly overturned, and their forward offensive was stagnant.
"Hurry up and get on the horse! Kill it! ”
The generals of the Mongolian army shouted one after another, and the Mongolian army looked for war horses one after another, and they were about to storm when they got on the horses.
The Mongolian army is good at riding and shooting, dismounting and fighting with the enemy, and there is only one way to die.
One by one, the smoking earth-shattering thunder was thrown over, all over the ground, "呲呑" was smoking, the Mongolian army's soul was scattered, all of them were pale, and some people screamed.
"Fire ...... Utensil! ”
It was this kind of firearm that caused them to suffer heavy casualties, and they had to fall into a protracted war in Lingzhou City without success. This kind of murderous demon thing, the Mongolian soldiers were all frightened, and many people changed their faces.
The explosion of "Tongtong" continued to sound, and the Mongolian troops on their horses were shrouded in a thick smoke, and the flesh of the men and horses flew all over the sky, and the ground around them was everywhere, and the smell of blood in the air was even stronger.
A gust of wind blew, and the corpses of people and horses were all over the ground, and the eyes were full of screaming and screaming in a pool of blood.
And the remnants of the Mongolian cavalry, stupidly sitting on their horses, after a while, only to beat their horses and desperately flee, even the courage to fire arrows has been lost.
Cao Erxiong snorted coldly, waved his hand, the war horse galloped, and the cavalry of the Song army swept into the clouds, chasing after the fleeing Mongolian cavalry.
"Push it through!"
Wang Ying shook off the piece of meat on his shoulder, shouted loudly, and strode forward with the Song soldiers. As far as the eye could see, a Mongolian general in bright armor was commanding the surrounding Mongolian troops to resist, Wang Ying took out the earth-shattering thunder and lit it, and threw it over.
In the choking smell of gunsmoke, Wang Ying led people to rush over, stabbing people and riding stabbing horses, and the Mongolian soldiers often couldn't support one or two rounds, so they were stabbed by more spearheads. When he arrived in front of General Meng, he saw him lying in a pool of blood, the intestines in his stomach were flowing out, he covered his bloody lower abdomen, looked at Wang Ying, scolded in his mouth, and didn't understand what to say.
"Let's go on the road with peace of mind!"
Wang Ying shot hard, steady and accurate, into the throat of Meng Jiang, and then pulled out the spear. He looked at the glowing eastern sky and cried out in mournful.
"Brother Li Shou, I ............"
Wang Ying choked up, but couldn't say any more.
The Song soldiers rushed in groups of three, and fought bloody battles with the Mongolian army in the camp box. The Song army continued to move forward, and soon pacified most of the Mongol army's camp, approaching the Mongol army, which was cowering in the southeast corner and resisting stubbornly.
"All of them!"
Countless earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown into the southeast corner of the camp, and the thunderous explosion shook the earth, and the remnants of the Mongolian army were shrouded in smoke from the explosion. In the dust, the blood and flesh of the Mongolian army flew sideways, and the ghosts cried wolves. The remaining Mongolian troops fled in a panic and fled in all directions.
"Die!"
The cavalry of the Song army urged the horse forward, and the long knife in his hand flashed, and a man ran over, and the Mongolian army with six souls and no owner was cut down to the ground by him, and fell to the ground screaming.
Looking at the horror in his eyes, it seemed that it was not because of the killing and wounding of the Song army's cavalry, but the terrifying scene caused by the explosion just now.
The cavalry of the Song army attacked one after another, chasing down the remnants of the Mongol army that had fled in the wilderness.
"Aim for me, don't let one go!"
Zhao Wei stared at the south gate of Yingli and carefully admonished the gunners.
"Don't worry, general, you won't be able to escape any of them!"
The gunner said with a smile on his face, bowing his head.
Zhao Wei nodded, and was about to speak, when a gunner screamed.
"General, East Gate!"
Zhao Wei was startled, and looked in the direction of the east gate, only to see one hundred and ten Mongolian cavalry galloping wildly, heading straight to the east.
“…… These...... I'll go! ”
Zhao Wei was dumbfounded, his eyes were fixed on the back of the fleeing Mongolian cavalry, and he was speechless.
The invincible and invincible Mongolian army actually gave up rescuing his comrades in the camp outside the city and fled directly.
Feeling that he and these gunners just put up a shelf outside the South City Gate, and no one cared about it.
In desperation, Zhao Wei's eyes swept to the Mongolian army camp, the explosion of earth-shattering thunder occasionally came, and the soldiers of the Song army were chasing and killing the Mongolian army that was fleeing sparsely, the fighting was not fierce, and the battle had entered the end.
The sound of the battle ended, the sky returned to calm, and the banner of the Song army fluttered at the head of Yingli City.
On the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth month of the third year of Xingqing in the Great Song Dynasty, the Northwest Frontier Army of the Great Song Dynasty went one step further and occupied Yingli City in Jiuqu of the Yellow River after advancing close to the Shoubaotai Military Division of Rouwolf Mountain in the territory of Western Xia. Yingli City is stuck in the throat of Hexi and Xingling Land, only 300 miles away from Lingzhou City, and it can be reached in one day by land and water.
So far, the traffic between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia has been fully connected. The siege of Western Xia, which lasted for a year and a half, has also begun to show the light of day.
