967. The decisive battle of Jiu Mao Pass (Part 2)
As more than 20,000 new forces under Feng Hebi joined the battle, the situation in Jiumao Pass changed again.
After hundreds of hot air balloons arrived above the pass, they threw down the sky-blasting thunder one after another, making the Song Dynasty imperial guards dare not fight in military formations and scattered each of them.
Under the command of the generals, the soldiers tried their best to get mixed with the Dali Army. At this time, these Dali Army seemed to be their amulets.
However, this also allowed the Dali army to hold on in the city again and relieved the trend of retreat.
The army of seals outside the pass approached the city without any obstacles with siege equipment.
Ladders were ladders on the city wall, and many Dali soldiers climbed up to the top of the city along the ladder.
They took down the city wall on the east side of Jiumao Pass without any effort. Then, Dali soldiers ran down the city heading everywhere.
Even though the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were brave, their losses gradually increased even if they were brave.
However, when he learned that Zhang Jue had already arrived with his army, all the generals still led their soldiers to fight to the death.
Even Zhao Dongting joined the fight.
He, Kong Qiangu, Qi Wulie and the masters of the Zijing Villa kept shuttled through the crowd. On such a night, it was even more difficult to capture their traces clearly.
The battles around the city gate corridor were extremely fierce.
The soldiers on both sides are filling in with their lives. If you advance, I retreat, I will advance, and I will advance. It is difficult to solve the problem.
The Dali Army was naturally far inferior to the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. At this time, some people might want to retreat, but they couldn't even retreat.
The army outside the pass was still swarming into the corridor, forcing them to bite the bullet and continue fighting with the Song Dynasty imperial guards.
The situation is getting worse and worse for the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
They had only eight thousand soldiers and fought until now, just like big trees in the torrent, looking like signs of being washed away.
At this time, outside the pass, Feng Hebi also ordered the scouts to rush to Luoxian Pass and other places to report the news. He obviously wanted to gather all his troops under his command.
Duan Shi and Feng sat in the carriage together and said meaningfully: "Is Marshal Feng going to fight the Song army?"
Feng Hebi said: "If we don't have a decisive battle, we can only be eroded by the Song army one by one. What do the prince thinks?"
Duan Shi sighed: "These Song troops are indeed powerful, and they are much more powerful than the army we pieced together."
As he said that, he looked at Feng Hebi deeply and said, "Is Marshal Feng confident in this decisive battle?"
Feng Hebi asked Duan Shi, "Want to hear the truth or lies?"
Duan Shi said: "What about the truth? What about the lies?"
Feng Hebi said, "If you listen to lies, then our army will definitely destroy Zhang Jue's Song army. But to be honest, if Zhang Jue leads his army to arrive, our chances of winning are probably less than 50%.
Duan Shi frowned slightly, "The truth is really not lies, it sounds good..."
He sighed again, "Is it because of the raid of thousands of cavalry of the Song army that forced us to such a situation? If we lose, what should we do?"
Feng Hebi was silent for a while after hearing this, suddenly sneered, touched Duan Shi's ear, and whispered: "If you lose, you will sacrifice your life for the country. Could it be... the prince has other ideas?"
Duan Shi didn't care and just asked, "Can you not have Marshal Feng?"
Feng Hebi's smile gradually calmed down, "Let's talk about it after the battle! If we win, there is still hope."
After saying that, he looked back and looked towards Changsha.
In the sight, the fight continues.
Only at this time, Zhang Jue finally led the army to come.
He led nearly 20,000 infantrymen, but only two infantry corps rushed directly to the city.
Many soldiers stopped at the city gate and were still thousands of meters away.
This is the sky-rushing gunner in the army.
As a regular group of imperial guards, Tiangu and Tiangui armies had as many as 100 sky-storming cannons in their army, and together with twenty special forces, there were a total of 120.
Although the Flying Army, as a special imperial guard, did not have sky-rushing cannons in the army, it was more than enough to deal with less than 40 hot-air balloons of the Dali Army.
When the sky-rushing gunners set up the sky-rushing guns in the night, they all aimed at the glowing hot air balloons in the night sky.
When the Dali army's hot air balloons saw the Song Dynasty imperial guards suddenly came to the city gate with torches, and they wanted to destroy them and spread into the pass.
At the moment, the two armies in the pass were fighting in a melee. For them, resisting these Song reinforcements was obviously more important than supporting the robes below.
Only Feng Hebi's hot air balloon troops had not suffered from the sky-storm cannon, so they didn't know that hundreds of sky-storm cannons had already targeted them in the night.
"fire!"
As the general roared, fires appeared on the ground in an instant.
The shells rushed out of the cannon chamber and shot towards the high altitude.
Then, a group of flames exploded in the air.
In an instant, hundreds of Dali military hot air balloons exploded in the air and were blown up to pieces.
The fire almost illuminated the ground in the city.
There were countless soldiers inside and outside the pass looking up at the sky, stunned by it.
Hundreds of hot air balloons exploded at the same time, and this scene seemed to be the arrival of doomsday.
Such shouts quickly broke out among the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty in the pass, "Reinforcements are here! Zhang Shuai is here!"
They were naturally surprised.
And the Dali soldiers were in panic.
The seal outside the pass was combined, and Duan Shi and the other two changed color slightly in the army.
Feng Hebi sighed: "Zhang Jue's army has arrived..."
At this moment, this talented man with a high level in Guigu Academy looked at the hot air balloon that exploded in the air, and his eyes were extremely helpless.
He believed that there were no mistakes in tactical command. The reason why he fell into this situation is that the combat effectiveness of the Dali Army is far worse than that of the Song Army.
This gap cannot be made up by tactics.
Duan Shi also looked up at the hot air balloons in the night sky, with no expression on his face, and said, "The sky-rushing cannon... It seems that he is going to lose."
Feng Hebi didn't answer his words.
Because at this time, there were balls of flames in the air again.
The sky-rushing gunners in Zhang Jue's army fired the second wave of shells together.
Although the Dali Army's hot air balloon was already retreating out of the city in panic at this time, its speed was slow. In a blink of an eye, it was more than half of it lost.
"kill!"
Zhang Jue waved his sword in front of the army and led Tiangui and Tiangu's infantry all rushed to the bottom of the city.
They are as powerful as rainbows.
Although the number of people was still far less than that of the Dali army, the momentum it erupted made the Dali soldiers on the city feel a little chilled.
If they continue to fight like this, even if they have the advantage of numerical numbers, they will probably have to fight with these Song troops to lose both sides.
And at this time, there was another sky-surgery.
Only dozens of hot air balloons left in the city were left, and they were able to escape outside the range of the sky-storm cannon.
There was a sound of drums outside the pass, and the seal and monastery never ordered the gold to be whistled.
The Dali army still rushed into the corridor or climbed up the city wall on a ladder.
The inner walls of the pass were full of soldiers from both sides fighting.
The strong smell of blood had already spread in the air.
The blood and rain mixed, dyeing the ground all red.
Thousands of soldiers of the Song army guarded the passes and then now they have a decisive battle with tens of thousands of Dali troops. This war will be recorded in history if nothing unexpected happens.
In just a few minutes, the situation of the battle changed again.
A little deeper inside the pass, a sudden two thousand balls of fire suddenly appeared.
It's a hot air balloon!
All are hot air balloons.
Nearly two thousand hot air balloons have been launched one after another and spread to various places. In a short period of time, they have almost spread over Jiumao Pass.
The Dali army on the top of the city was completely stunned.
They obviously had never seen such a scene before.
Although there are hot air balloons in the Dali army, only the Zhentian Army can compare with the Song Dynasty Feitian Army. However, their Zhentian Army has been scattered among the various armies.
Duan Qilin was still guarding against those tribal troops, and it was impossible for him to hand over the making of weapons such as hot air balloons to them. Because this was his reliance on intimidating Dali.
The fight failed to continue for a long time.
As Ren Wei led the Flying Army gradually approached the sky above the city, and the Dali army outside the city couldn't help but retreat to the back.
"Run!"
"Run!"
Even if they have tens of thousands of people, nearly two thousand hot air balloons will be enough to cause a catastrophe to them.
Chapter completed!
