115. Shelling the city head

The earth shook, and more than ten parts of the city wall were blown up, the Yuan army flags were blown up, the soldiers were bombed down from the top of the city wall, or they were blown up to pieces, bloody and bloody, and the scene was extremely bloody.

The commander of the Yuan army was the deputy general of Ali Hague, the commander of ten thousand men, and also from Uygur, named Eumtuo.

Ali Hague joined the Mongolian general Bu Lianjidai, but he brought his fellow villager Torheti and Eumuto and more than a dozen others. Later, he was recommended to Kublai Khan, the king of the then clan, who was also a guard of the royal palace. In the Battle of Ezhou, Ali Hague and others took the lead. Ali Hague was rewarded for being injured in the ravage arrow. From then on, he got the opportunity to show his military talent and rose to prominence.

Some time ago, he was promoted to Pingzhang Political Affairs and managed both Huguang because of his contribution to pacifying Hunan.

He achieved such achievements, such as Tohoti, Ebony and other brothers, naturally rose to a high level, and the worst one now is the level of a thousand men.

Although Ebony was not as close to Ali Hague as Toheti, it was highly valued by Ali Hague, commanding 12,000 troops.

It is precisely because of these 12,000 troops and horses that he has the confidence to defend Wujin and block Zhao Dongting's 35,000 troops and horses in front of the county.

As a major county in Tengzhou, Hanjin County can connect to Guangnan East Road in the east, and in the north, Jingjiang Prefecture, the base camp of the Ali Hague army, and in the south, they can march into Rongzhou and then threaten Leizhou. Although Hanjin County cannot be said to be necessary to lose, if it is held in its hands, it can take a lot of initiative.

Eumtuo knew very well that as long as he defended Hanjin, the commander Ali Hague would definitely send troops to aid, and even oppose the Song army outside the siege.

But what he never expected was that the Song army's artillery was so powerful.

He just hid quickly, but he was not blown into meat by shells, but he could not escape being injured by shrapnel.

A piece of broken iron flew out in the explosion and stabbed his back, making his back bloody.

Ebony groaned, but when he saw the tragic situation on the city wall, he even forgot the pain behind him.

How is this possible?

His eyes were full of shock, and he really couldn't believe that this formation was caused by the small iron lump of Song Jun.

At this time, dozens of shells were already whistling towards the city.

The Yuan army screamed, and even the warriors carrying the big flags were bombed down to the city, and they were still holding the flag embroidered with the tiger in their hands.

How can I guard this city?

Ebony was stunned on the ground, and the panicked Yuan soldiers next to him pulled him a few times, but he was still reluctant to leave.

He was full of confidence and thought that the city wall he had specially reinforced could definitely block the Song army's catapult. But now, the city wall is as fragile as tofu.

When the general next to him saw his side, he could only be foolishly bombed, with a very anxious look on his face, "Master, what should we do?"

Ebony came back to her senses, her eyes flashed, and her gloomy face did not speak.

He had no good ideas in his mind for a while, but as the leader, he knew that he could not panic, otherwise he would have lost this battle.

The doctor who followed the army saw him sitting up, hurried over to help him clean up the wound.

The iron piece was embedded very deeply. The doctor was nervous because he was captured by the Yuan army from the people. His hands were trembling slightly. The pain made the ebony sweat. But he was worthy of being a powerful general of the Yuan army. Even so, he just gritted his teeth and did not hum.

The genital general looked anxiously from the side and shouted loudly to avoid the shells.

But the explosion range of the grenade launcher shells is about five meters, and dozens of shells landed on the city at the same time. How could the crowded Yuan army be so easy to hide?

It's a cannon again.

A section of the city wall collapsed several meters.

Only the beginning of this, the Yuan army was already damaged by hundreds of people.

They were really standing too densely on the top of the city. A shell fell and often killed more than ten people.

Even if the Yuan army had a hundred battles, they could only be beaten, and they were a little panicked.

The general of the gang watched the soldiers running and shouting, and his face became more anxious, "Master, why don't we let the soldiers enter the city?"

He felt that if he continued like this, the entire city wall would be flattened.

The ebony dragged his beard slightly widened, "If we abandoned the city wall, wouldn't the Song army take advantage of the situation to seize the city?"

The general in charge hurriedly said, "Why don't we fight with them in the streets? We will continue to stay on the top of the city. The soldiers will be killed by their strange artillery."

street fighting……

When Eumutuo heard this, his eyes suddenly appeared in his eyes. He pushed the soldiers away and stood up, saying, "Send the order to take the people in the city to the top of the city!"

The general immediately understood and was overjoyed, "I got the order!"

Then he waved his hand and led a group of personal troops to run under the city wall.

Most of the Southern Song Dynasty were Han people, and they were Weiwuer people, so they would not regret the lives of these Han people at all.

When they just occupied Hanjin County, they had killed countless people in the city. If some people were not needed to do odd jobs as men, they might have massacred the entire Hanjin city.

The Yuan army did not do a lot of such things, especially in Huguang, Tongchuan, Chengdu and other places, where the Yuan army often massacred the city.

The reason is that most of the people in these places are loyal, fierce and resolute, and often have uprisings and resisting the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan army massacred the city, one was to relieve future troubles, and the other was to intentionally deter them.

Ali Hague is very keen on this iron-blooded policy.

Soon, when the sound of cannons rang out for the fourth time, the generals and the Yuan army used swords and guns to thrust hundreds of people to the top of the city.

In the Southern Song army formation, Zhao Dongting saw this scene with a telescope, and his raised hand was unable to put it down for a long time.

The Yuan army did not care about the life and death of these people, and he had to care about it.

The Southern Song Dynasty was able to persist until now, thanks to the people's righteous men. If we want to resist the Yuan Dynasty and restore the country, we need the strength of the people's righteous men.

Zhao Dongting knew very well that he needed the power of the people, otherwise he would not have spent as much effort to seek benefits for the people in Leizhou.

Qin Han also saw the people on the top of the city and turned his head and said to Zhao Dongting indifferently: "Hundreds of people, why should we cherish death?"

But he knew what Zhao Dongting was thinking at this time.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu stared at each other, scolding Yuan Jun for being shameless.

In fact, the Yuan army often used such tricks when defending the city. In the past, most generals of the Southern Song Dynasty did not care about it. Compared with the rise and fall of the entire country, the lives of the people were nothing.

Zhao Dongting closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, then opened his eyes again, but still did not order the fire.

His thinking is still a little different from that of the ancient generals. In the eyes of those generals, hundreds of people are nothing, but for Zhao Dongting, hundreds of people are really a big number. After all, he has traveled through time in modern times, and in modern times, every life is so precious.

"Ha ha!"

The ebony on the top of the city saw that the Song army stopped firing, and pretended to be rampant, "Song Dog is nothing more than that!"

The Song army scolded the Yuan army as a thief, but the Yuan army was even more cruel and called the Song army as a Song gou. If we talk about cursing people, the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty was really not as good as the fierce nomadic peoples in the north.

Seeing that Zhao Dongting still did not give orders, Qin Han saw that strange light flashed through his eyes and said, "In just five days, the Yuan thieves' reinforcements will arrive."

He was naturally deliberately urging Zhao Dongting to fire.

Zhao Da also said from the side: "Your Majesty, fire the fire!"

Even though Zhao Dongting's image in his mind was wise and powerful, he also felt that Zhao Dongting was a little weak at this moment. This was the common problem of many Southern Song emperors, and the root cause of criticism among the people.

However, those emperors were weak, but they were not as good as Zhao Dongting, and they would not care about the life and death of hundreds of civilians. At least that's what Zhao Da thought.

Zhao Dongting said with a cold face: "I invented this cannon to deal with the enemy, not to deal with my people."

Qin Han snorted softly and said, "The emperor will lose his big fortune in this way."

Zhao Dongting just pretended that he hadn't heard it, and he really couldn't bear to bombard these people without any necessity.

At this time, the people who were taken to the city gradually struggled out of panic.

When they saw the dark Song army flag outside the city, they all looked joyful.

The imperial court's actions in Leizhou have long been spread to Tengzhou. Many young and strong people have fled to Leizhou. Most of them are old and weak who cannot run away and do not want to leave their hometowns anymore.

An old master saw that the middle of the military formation was neat and shiny with fish scales and guards, and shouted excitedly: "That is the personal army of our Emperor of Song Dynasty!"

The guards' personal army are brave in fighting. Now there are many legends circulating in Tengzhou, which are all from Leizhou. After countless people exaggerated it, the name of the guards' personal army is like a god army among the people, and is probably no less than the Yue family army back then.

Looking at the damaged city walls, they immediately understood why the Yuan thief took them to the top of the city. I heard that many such things had happened in the past, and they were regarded as shields.

The old master glared at the Yuan army soldiers not far away, and suddenly shouted: "Everyone, we are old, how can we become the Yuan thief?"

He should have some reputation in Hanjin County. When he shouted this, many people who were still panicking looked at him.

The old master's eyes were rosy, "The Yuan thief wanted to use our lives to defend the city, so that the emperor would take care of us, and we would like to them..."

But before he finished speaking, the Yuan army general not far away realized that it was not good and hurriedly shouted: "Kill that old man!"

The soldier's spear instantly stabbed the old master's chest through. He stared at his eyes and opened his mouth, but the last two words could not be expressed in any way.

The crowd was in amazement.

I don’t know who it was, but at this moment he suddenly shouted, “Fight against these thieves!”

Then a man suddenly rushed towards the Yuan army soldiers in the crowd.

He had some kung fu foundation, so he pulled out the swords of the soldiers of the Yiyuan Army and chopped the head of the unexpected soldier to the ground with one sword.

Blood splattered his face, but he didn't even wipe it, and then chopped it at the Yuan soldiers next to him.

These blood immediately completely aroused the bloodiness of the people of Hanjin County who were dispersed from the city.

The Ebony's army has long been so hated that they have burned, killed and looted the city these days.

"Fight with them!"

"Kill!"
