867. Attack on Kaijiang City (Part 1)(1/2)
In Chongqing Prefecture, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu led the Feilong Army out of the city, and ten thousand troops spread toward Peiling, the city of Peizhou County, to the east.
Yue Peng personally led the Tiankui army to attack Nanchuan.
Miao Youli, Zheng Yihang, Pang Wenbo and others stayed in Chongqing.
Dazhou.
Xiao Yulin led the Tianjie army out of the city in the early morning and rushed to Kaijiang, Kaizhou County. Only in the afternoon, Liu Zijun also led the Tianxiong army out of the city and also rushed to Kaijiang.
The situation in Dazhou is even more embarrassing than in Chongqing. The Dali army occupied several states and was in an attempt to encircle Kuizhou Prefecture.
Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun may not have the intention to go to Kuizhou Prefecture to help.
Compared with Dazhou, Kuizhou Prefecture is undoubtedly the top priority in the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields.
Correspondingly, after the Song Dynasty imperial guards made some movement, the Dali army quickly mobilized targetedly.
At this time, their troops were scattered in the prefectures and counties occupied by them. After understanding the intentions of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, they were forced to dispatch troops to resist.
The Dali Army in Jingzhou seemed to know the changes in the situation in the north, so suddenly led the army to leave Jingzhou and continue to march northward. The troops directly entered Suiyang, Zhenzhou.
Zhenzhou is different from the prefectures and counties of these minority tribes. It is a real city under the rule of the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Jue received the report from the scout and immediately led his army to set off, chasing the pace of the Dali Army in Guanzhou.
Roughly speaking, the territory of Kuizhou Road has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in the New Song, Dali and Song dynasties.
The war seems to be about to ignite again.
This only took two days.
Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun led the army and arrived outside Kaijiang City.
There is clear water on the east side of Kaijiang City, and there is a stack of rivers flowing through it, and there is no shortage of water sources. The turbid river water in the moat is surging.
On the city wall built with bricks and stones, the flags of the Dali Army spread and the army was full of armor.
Looking at the military flag, it is the Tiger Army among the White Horse Army.
The three armies of Longyou, Hu Ben and Iron Horse attacked the Song Dynasty from Dazhou. Although the Hu Ben Army was not as famous as the Longyou Army, it was also the second only to the Longyou Army among the seven white horse armies.
At this time, no one knew how many Tiger Army gathered in Kaijiang City.
However, there were less than 20,000 people in the army of Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun.
The two led the army until they had to open hundreds of meters outside the west gate of Jiangcheng. The cavalry and infantry in the army accounted for about half of them, all wearing neatly-dressed ink armor.
The flag and the cloak sway in the wind.
Tianyong and Tianjie each formed their own formation.
Looking from afar, you can see that Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin are both deep in the formation. There are big stars standing tall on the side.
A powerful general in front of the army immediately held a gun and glared at the top of the city.
At the top of the city, many Dali army generals were looking coldly outside the city.
Next to them were many gunboats.
The crossbowmen stood behind the wall, only the tip of the arrow was exposed, and the cold light flashed.
There are also crossbows, and the sharp arrows that look like javelins are even more breathtaking.
Although the crossbow cart lacks flexibility, it is a powerful tool for defending the city. Its range is not much different from that of the grenade launcher.
This confrontation lasted for about ten minutes.
There was a movement in Xiao Yulin's army first.
I saw that the flag soldiers on the female car shaking the red arrow in their hands.
Then, soldiers in the army hurried to the front of the formation with their waists bent.
There were about two hundred people, which were the grenade battalions.
After running to the front of the formation, the two hundred people were half squatting on the ground, and then one of them took off the wooden box on his back and placed it on the ground to open it.
There is a dark grenade launcher inside.
The soldiers formed two groups of people and cooperated with each other to combine the grenade canisters at a very fast speed.
Immediately afterwards, there was also movement in Liu Zijun's army.
The soldiers of the same grenade battalion ran to the front of the army to set up artillery.
Such magical weapons from the Song Dynasty were definitely a great deterrent to the Dali Army.
Now, they can still use hot air balloons to block the hot air balloons in the Song army. However, they can do nothing about the grenade launcher.
After waiting for two hundred grenade launchers, the generals of the Tiger Ben Army on the top of the city looked a little ugly.
Then, a general waved his hand and shouted at the city: "Boe them up!"
Countless people were taken to the city.
The hands of these people were tied with hemp ropes, and there were soldiers guarding the Hu Ben soldiers holding spears on the side.
It's this shameless method again.
But when Tianjie and Tianxiong armies saw this, there was no sign of retreating.
The vanguard general in front of the Tianxiong Army shouted at the top of the city: "If you are aware of your tact, you will quickly abandon the city and surrender. Otherwise, you will die under artillery fire immediately!"
A general from the city wall responded, "Do you ignore the lives of these people?"
Liu Zijun sneered coldly in the army.
Kaizhou magistrate surrendered to Xinsong, and Kaizhou was the enemy of the Song Dynasty. At this time, Kaizhou was the enemy of the Song Dynasty. In the current situation in the Song Dynasty, how could he take care of so many things?
Even though the emperor conveyed the holy intention to the army, he could give up the niche and seek a complete collection of things.
Because only by ending the war as soon as possible can more people be rescued.
"Fire a fire demonstration!"
Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin issued such orders almost at the same time.
Then there was a cannon in front of the army.
The Tianjie Army and the Tianxiong Army had hundreds of grenade launchers in front of the formation, and ten of them fired shells at the same time.
These shells were all hit on the walls of Kaijiang City.
Gravels are flying.
The smoke rises.
There was a scream at the top of the city wall.
The generals of the Hu Ben Army all showed a slight surprise.
They did not expect that the Song army would no longer care about these people. This made them completely ineffective in threatening the Song army with the people.
A general hurriedly led his soldiers to the top of the city.
After the artillery was stopped, the Song army did not continue firing.
Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin both held telescopes and looked at the city wall.
They naturally saw many Xinsong soldiers evacuating to the city.
I don't know if I plan to abandon the city wall or what I plan to do.
But no matter what, Kaijiang City will always be taken.
A few minutes later, the flag on the female car in the Tianjie Army was shaking again.
The tent of the grenade launcher camp in front saw the flag shaking, and shouted loudly: "Prepare to fire the cannon!"
Immediately afterwards, the same sound rang in front of Tianxiong Army.
Two great Song imperial guards attacked Kaijiang City, Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin both had the idea of winning.
"fire!"
With the last loud shout, the west gate of Kaijiang City was covered with artillery fire in the blink of an eye.
The smoke of gunpowder is everywhere.
Minced meat flew across the city.
A crossbow chariot fired the javelin-like arrows and shot to the city with the sound of breaking through the air.
However, these javelins fell in front of the grenade launcher battalion. The range of the grenade launcher is still inferior to that of the grenade launcher.
Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun were very cleverly aware of this distance.
This made the generals of the Hu Ben Army on the top of the city panic and gritted their teeth with hatred. They only regretted that there was no such powerful weapon as grenade launcher in their own army.
If their military equipment could be as powerful as the Song army, how could their Hu Ben Army have fallen into such a passive situation?
After just two rounds of cannons fired, the Hu Ben Army on the top of the city was almost gone.
I don’t know how many crossbows, soldiers, and catapults were blown up in the explosion just now.
