906. The army forced the city (below)(1/2)

Countless Dali soldiers came to the city.

Although they were defeated in a row, there were still tens of thousands of people in their army. As the saying goes, the crowd is brave and will not be so scared that they hurriedly abandoned Hengshan Village.

Under the scorching sun, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty approached Hengshanzhai.

When they arrived in the wilderness thousands of meters away from the city, the army slowly stopped.

The army was lined up along the line, almost blocking the outer periphery of Hengshanzhai East Gate.

The ink-colored armor reflects a bright luster under the scorching sun.

Chi Fenggu personally came to the city.

Most of his imperial guards and soldiers under his command were waiting for the battle.

As Prince Gan expected, after he had no news, Chi Fenggu was unable to easily command his soldiers.

These disciples from Guigu Academy were all promoted and airborne by Duan Qilin, and they really had no foundation in the army.

There are many people under Wang Zigan's command.

In addition, there were many people from Hengshanzhai who were taken to the top of the city, which made the city look crowded.

Liu Hongyi, Zhang Hongwei and other generals of Song drove their horses to the front of the army and looked at the city with a telescope, their faces were not very good-looking.

The Dali military always takes the people as the main body, which really makes them furious and makes them feel a little bored.

These guys are too unattached.

But thinking about it again, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't seem to reflect their great benevolent political love for the people.

"Set up the cannon!"

Under the orders of Liu Hongyi and others, hundreds of Song grenade launchers ran to the front from the military formation.

There are about 400 grenade launchers in total.

This is definitely a terrifying number.

When these about four hundred grenade launchers were all set up outside the city, countless Dali generals on the city wall changed color.

Not to mention the overwhelming hot air balloons in the air, the Song army's only grenade canisters was enough to break through the east gate of Hengshan Village.

Although they have many gunboats, compared to the gunboats, they still want to go farther than grenade launchers. Not only is the power much worse, but they are even inferior in range.

A general asked Chi Fenggu, "General Chi, the Song army's grenade launcher is too powerful. Should we wait for them to enter the city and then fight with them?"

This general obviously wanted to abandon the city wall.

Chi Fenggu shook his head and said, "No need. There are so many people on the top of the city now that the Song army will never fire easily."

He obviously knew quite well about the Song army.

The speaker looked at the people who were jailed by swords and guns not far away and were crying and saying nothing.

In the past, the Song army had never done anything to bombard the people. This persistence was undoubtedly the weakness of the Song army in the eyes of these Dali generals.

But at this time, someone suddenly drove his horse out of the crowd in the Song army formation.

He held a dark trumpet in his hand and shouted to the city: "Everyone in the city, the emperor of the Song Dynasty has given him the decree of literature and martial arts. My prince Gan advises you to surrender."

"It's General Wang!"

"Prince!"

Although the prince was just talking, it caused a sensation on the city wall at this moment.

The Dali soldiers were so far away that they could not see the appearance of the prince, but those who were familiar with him could naturally hear his voice.

No one had ever thought that Wang Zigan, who had no news after the camp, had already surrendered to Song, and in this short time he became a lobbyist of the Song Dynasty and came to persuade him to surrender.

And his words of persuading surrender were so simple, which was enough to show how confident the Song army was to break the city.

"The prince has been betrayed the Song Dynasty?"

Chi Fenggu's eyes flashed with light, and his face gradually became ugly.

He could have predicted how much impact the appearance of Prince Gan would have on the morale of the army.

After all, Wang Zigan was once the chief general of the army.

At this time, the Song Dynasty hot air balloon in the air also spread towards the Hengshan Village.

The Dali soldiers below could only look up.

The only hot air balloons in the city dared not to meet the enemy. Although they also took off, they slowly retreated.

The Song Dynasty hot air balloon did not throw thunder down, but countless papers fell down like snowflakes.

Prince Gan outside the city shouted again: "If you abandon the city and surrender, the Song Dynasty will definitely not blame you for the past."

Some people cursed at the top of the city, but some people looked inexplicably.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and no one knows what they are thinking.

In the past, tribes had to bow to the Dali royal family because the Dali royal family had the strength to intimidate them. After all, how many tribes were truly loyal to the Dali royal family?

Although the Dali army is now conquering Song, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Dali fails to attack Song, he will no longer be able to resist the Song Dynasty.

In this case, it is normal for tribal leaders to be influenced by Prince Gan to have the intention to join Song.

Of course, they didn't dare to make any decisions without authorization.

After all, they just led the army to fight. Their ethnic group and people were still living in Dali at this time.

On this side, the emperor Duan Qilin would send troops to attack their tribes. At present, the defenders in each tribe are quite empty.

After the Song army threw down countless papers, they slowly withdrew from Hengshan Village.

From beginning to end, at the end of the city, the generals said they wanted to surrender.

Only when the morale of the army changes, no one can tell.

The prince Gan finally shouted: "I will only give you three days. In three days, the army will surely attack the city. At that time, no prisoners will be left!"

Then he drove his horse back to the formation like this.

"fire!"

Liu Hongyi, Zhang Hongwei and others waved together.

Nearly four hundred grenade launchers were bombed out of the bore in an instant.

These shells did not fall on the head of Hengshanzhai City, but fell under the city.

Even so, the city wall was shaking.

In just over ten moments, it was filled with smoke and dust.

The smoke rising from the city showed the power of the Song Dynasty grenade launcher to the extreme.

Nearly 400 shells were used, and Liu Hongyi and others spent a lot of money to intimidate these Dali troops.

If Zhao Dongting had not asked the Military Industry Department to make these firearms in the past two years, the Song Dynasty imperial guards might not have been willing to consume them like this.

The army slowly retreated.

The smoke on the top of the city gradually dissipated.

The generals such as Chi Fenggu had a changeable expression.

If the Song army's shells had all fallen on the city, they could not imagine what kind of miserable situation would be on the city.

And they also knew that the Song army was not capable of hitting these shells on the top of the city, but they were just unwilling to do so.

Although the Song army was less than 40,000, it might be able to destroy tens of thousands of troops in their city.

Seeing the Song army leaving, Chi Fenggu led the generals back to the government office.

Sitting in the government office, no one spoke.

Chi Fenggu's eyes swept across the faces of the generals, only seeing the solemnity, but not anyone's face was full of fighting spirit.

In terms of situation, they were completely suppressed by the Song army.

After a while, Chi Fenggu asked, "Is it abandon or a guard? What do you think?"

He did not mention the prince's case to surrender to Song at all. Because this matter is almost known in the city, there is no need to mention it at all.

As long as he asked this, no one in the hall answered.

No one wants to be the leader.

Chi Fenggu asked again: "I have expressed my swearing to resist the Song army to the death with the emperor. Are you willing to fight with me in blood?"

Still no one spoke.

All the generals, including Song Ruili, who also came from Guigu Academy, did not speak out.

Obviously, even the attack on the Song camp failed and the prince surrendered to Song, which made Song Ruili not have much hope for fighting with the Song army outside the city.

He is a smart person and knows that the morale of the army is the most important issue for the army in the city.

Even though he and Chi Fenggu were willing to fight with this Song army, the generals of various tribes were very likely not to think so.
