Monument Yangmen

Chapter 699

40 soldiers of the Imperial Army gathered in front of the Dianjiangtai, and 20 troops gathered on the left side of the Dianjiangtai.

60 people joined together to form a sea of ​​people.

The pure black covers the sky and the earth.

They seem to be the only ones in the world.

Solemn, solemn, and chilling.

Cao Bin is wearing a set of bright light armor, the armor is dazzling in the sun, rendering him like a god walking in the world, tall and mighty, unattainable.

"Emperor's order, within a day, overcome Tongtai Pass."

"Shu~"

All the soldiers saluted together, "No."

Cao Bin raised his hand and waved north, solemnly said: "Beat the drums, march!"

"Dong dong dong..."

The drum order of the Song army marching is very unique, one long and one short, one long and one short, just like human breathing.

As time goes by, it gradually becomes high-pitched and deep.

"kill!"

Catapults, bed crossbows, and siege crossbows formed row after row of barrages before the army arrived at Tongtai Pass, bombarding Tongtai Pass.

On the basis of effectively killing the enemy, they provide cover for the soldiers in the siege operations.

The siege equipment such as siege chisels, boarding vehicles, archery towers, and ladders, etc., arrived at the city under the control of the soldiers.

The tragic siege battle officially started.

The Song army fought, with a strong unique color of the Song Dynasty.

It is very different from other dynasties.

The Song army fighting in the cold weapon era has some characteristics of firearm warfare in later generations.

Although there are no powerful guns and artillery, the Song Army has unique bows and crossbows.

Short crossbows, long crossbows, strong crossbows, strong crossbows, bed crossbows, row crossbows, Zhuge crossbows and so on.

In addition to the thick infantry armor that is as protective as a fortress, the Great Song Forbidden Army also has bows and crossbows. A major feature of the Great Song Forbidden Army.

It can be said that the equipment of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty has reached the peak of the cold weapon era.

So far, the most powerful bed crossbow in the Song Dynasty has a range of hundreds of feet, and even some rifles of later generations are hard to match.

If it weren't for the high cost, Da Song would have conquered the world with just a bed crossbow.

If such an army were thrown to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, they would probably have embarked on the journey of conquering the world long ago.

Therefore, the army of Song Dynasty is not weak, and the soldiers are not weak.

The reason why he was being bullied all the time had nothing to do with the soldiers.

Relying on the strength of their soldiers, the Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty went to the city to fight one after another.

From the beginning of the battle to the stalemate in the fierce siege battle, the firing of crossbow arrows never stopped.

Millions of crossbow arrows fell down, and the city wall to the south of Tongtai Pass was sieved by the range.

The original combat mission to rush to the sunset to win the Tongtai Pass was completed in half a day.

The victories were brilliant, at least in the victory report that Cao Bin sent to Zhao Guangyi, the victories were quite brilliant.

Tongtaiguan victory.

The imperial army lost 6000 people in battle, and the Xiang army lost [-] in battle.

Killed one hundred thousand Liao troops.

No prisoners.

Millions of crossbow arrows and hundreds of thousands of troops have all swiped the bronze platform. It would be strange to have any prisoners.

The battle report was delivered to Zhao Guangyi the next morning.

Holding the battle report, Zhao Guangyi looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "In half a day, we took down the Tongtai Pass, hahaha..."

Zhao Guangyi smiled happily, and happily attributed the victory of this battle to himself.

He proudly showed off to the civil servants of the military counselor, "Look, the older Cao Bin is, the less courageous he is. The whole person is as smooth as a wheel, and he doesn't move. When I dial, he will call soon." won the battle.

This old guy is just playing tricks on me, but he can't escape my eyes. "

"My Emperor Shengming!"

At this time, the civil servants of the Military Counselor naturally gave Zhao Guangyi a tactful compliment.

Yang Qi, Zhao Pu, and Zhao Defang are still acting as clay bodhisattvas.

Yang Qi felt that Brother Yeluxiu had been beaten passively for so many days, and it was time to fight back.

……

Yang Qicai was right. Brother Yeluxiu, who was far away in Jiayuguan, was not only not angry when he got the battle report of Tongtaiguan, but laughed instead.

The smile is as carefree as Zhao Guangyi.

"Zhao Guangyi is indeed Zhao Guangyi, he hasn't changed at all. This king can rest assured."

After sighing, Brother Yeluxiu ordered Xiao Talin, "Pass down our military order, ordering the troops of Ruzhou, Yanzhou, Yanzicheng, Tanshan, Bei'an Prefecture, and Jianzhou to draw half of the troops to gather in Jiayuguan, and follow the king to go out to fight. .

It was ordered that the first-line troops in Yingzhou, Mozhou, and Yuguan should shrink their troops and stick to the main cities of each prefecture. Once lost, they were allowed to withdraw to Jizhou.

Then pass an order to Han Derang, let him guard Youzhou for the king, no matter what method he uses, he must hold back the army of Cao Bin's department for at least a month.

Even if all the soldiers under his command were killed in battle, he would not hesitate.

Also, an order was sent to Yelu Xiezhen, telling him to hold back Yang Yansi for this king.

We must not let Yang Yansi's soldiers and horses jump out at a critical moment and destroy the overall situation of the king.

Before the war between the king and Cao Bin is over, the king does not want to see Yang Yansi's troops appear in Xinzhou and Wuzhou. "

Xiao Talin beat his chest with one hand, and after saluting, he quickly conveyed Brother Yeluxiu's will.

Following Yeluxiu's order, it was transmitted to the three armies of the Liao Kingdom.

The Liao army in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun began to shrink their troops rapidly.

All the soldiers and horses shrank to the main city of the state almost overnight.

Especially on the route where the left and right armies of the Song army marched.

There were no Liao soldiers in the countryside of each state, and all the Liao soldiers were huddled in the cities of various places.

This greatly facilitated the offensive operations of the left and right armies.

……

Shuozhou.

After the vanguard general Shang Qingzi wiped out Shuozhou, he subconsciously widened his marching route.

Without permission, Shang Qingzi still dispatched a small team to invade Huanzhou in advance.

Then, Shang Qingzi got a shocking news.

The imperial court of the Liao Kingdom robbed them of their tasks.

In Huanzhou, there were no Liao troops in the countryside, and even the Liao people were called into the city.

Before the rangers entered Huanzhou, their task of clearing the Liao people from the countryside was completed.

The bewildered Shang Qingzi sent someone to send this news to Yang Da immediately.

However, Yang Da is not in the mood to pay attention to this matter yet.

At this moment, Yang Da has led the [-] revival army under his command to besiege Shuocheng.

Shuocheng is a big city.

The same holds true.

Moreover, Shuocheng's military strength is the strongest that Yang Da has ever encountered since he entered the Liao Kingdom.

There are [-] Liao soldiers in Shuo City, all of whom are the most elite soldiers in Shuozhou.

Yang Da led the army to station outside the city of Shuocheng, looking at the dark Liao army on the top of the city, he lowered his head and thought about the countermeasures to break the city.

Yang Da is unwilling to do this kind of thing like a strong attack unless it is necessary.

The storm consumes a lot of troops.

Whether it is Yang Da or Yang Qi, they are not as rich and powerful as Zhao Guangyi, and they can't afford to spend only these precious soldiers.

Using gunpowder may not necessarily produce miraculous effects.

The several cities attacked before all used gunpowder. The defenders of Shuo City will definitely make a series of arrangements for gunpowder.
