The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 115 Bombarding the city
The ground was shaken, more than a dozen places on the city wall were blown down, the banner of the Yuan army was blown up, soldiers were bombed down from the top of the city, or they were blown to pieces on the city wall, bloody and bloody, and the scene was extremely bloody.

The commander-in-chief of the Yuan army is Ali Haiya's deputy general and the commander of Wan Fu, who is also a Uighur, named Wu Mu Tuo.

Ali Haiya defected to the Mongolian general Bu Lian Jidai back then, bringing his friends from the same village, Tuoheti, Wu Mutuo, etc., and a dozen people. Later, he was recommended to the then king Kublai Khan, and he was also the guard of the palace.In the Battle of Ezhou, Ali Haiya and others took the lead bravely. Ali Haiya was rewarded for being injured in Zhongliuya.

Some time ago, because of his meritorious service in pacifying Hunan, he was promoted to Pingzhang political affairs, and he was in charge of Huguang.

With such achievements, his brothers such as Tuo Heti and Wu Mu Tuo have naturally risen, and now the worst is also at the rank of commander-in-chief.

Although Wu Mutuo was not as close to Ali Hague as Tuoheti, he was also highly valued by Ali Hague, commanding [-] troops and horses.

It is precisely because of the [-] troops and horses that he has the confidence to dare to defend Tanjin and block Zhao Dongting's [-] troops and horses in front of the county.

As an important county in Tengzhou, Tanjin County can be connected to Guangnan East Road in the east, Jingjiang Mansion, the base camp of Ali Hague Army in the north, and can march into Rongzhou in the south, and then threaten Leizhou.The current situation of Yu Yuan's army is nothing more than that. Although Tanjin County cannot be said to be unavoidable, if it is in the hands, it can take a lot of initiative.

Wu Mutuo knew very well in his heart that as long as he defended Tanjin, the coach Ali Haiya would definitely send troops to help, and even fight against the Song army outside the city.

But what he never imagined was that Song Jun's artillery was so powerful.

He hid quickly just now, but he was not blown to pieces by the shells, but he couldn't escape being injured by shrapnel.

A fragment of iron flew out from the explosion and pierced his back, making his back bloody very quickly.

Wu Mutuo snorted, but when he saw the tragic scene at the top of the city, he forgot even the pain behind him.

How can this be?

His eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't believe that such a formation was caused by Song Jun's little iron lump.

At this time, dozens of shells roared towards the city.

The Yuan army screamed, and even the warriors carrying the banners were blown down to the city, and they were still holding the banner embroidered with tigers tightly in their dead hands.

How can this city be guarded?
Wu Mu dragged on the ground, and the panicked soldiers of the Yuan army dragged him a few times, but he still couldn't let go.

He was full of self-confidence, thinking that the city wall he specially reinforced could definitely stop the Song Army's catapults.But now, the city wall is as fragile as tofu.

The general next to him could only be fooled when he saw his own side, and his face was full of anxiety, "Master, what should we do?"

Ebony came back to his senses, his eyes flickered, his face was gloomy and he didn't speak.

He didn't have any good ideas in his mind for a while, but as the general, he knew that he couldn't panic, otherwise he would lose this battle.

Seeing him sitting up, the doctor accompanying the army hurried over to clean his wound.

The iron plate was deeply embedded, and because the doctor was captured by the Yuan army from the people, he was full of nervousness, and his hands trembled slightly.But he is worthy of being a fierce general of the Yuan army, even so, he just gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

The general watched anxiously from the side, shouting to the soldiers to avoid the shells.

The explosive range of the shells that can be thrown is about five meters. Dozens of shells fell on the top of the city at the same time. How could the crowded Yuan army be so easy to hide?

Another cannon fire.

A section of the city wall collapsed several meters down.

This is just the beginning, and the Yuan army has already lost hundreds of people.

It is true that they are standing too densely on the top of the city, and one shell can often kill more than ten people.

Even if he is a master of hundreds of battles in the Yuan army, he can only be beaten like this, and he is a little panicked.

Seeing the soldiers running up and shouting, the general was even more anxious, "Master, why don't we let the soldiers enter the city?"

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

Wu Mu dragged his beard slightly, "If you abandon the city wall, wouldn't the Song army take advantage of the situation and seize the city?"

The general hurriedly said: "Why don't we fight them in the streets and stay at the top of the city, all the soldiers will be killed by their weird artillery."

street fighting……

Hearing this, Wu Mutuo's eyes gleamed brightly, pushed away the soldiers and stood up, saying: "Send the order, go and escort 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 pro-army to run down the city wall.

Most of the Southern Song Dynasty were Han people, but they were Uighurs, and they would not regret the lives of these Han people in the slightest.

When they first occupied Tanjin County, they had killed an unknown number of people in the city.If it weren't for the need for some ordinary people to work as young adults, they might have slaughtered the entire city of Jinjin.

The Yuan army did a lot of such things, especially in Huguang, Tongchuan, Chengdu and other places, where the Yuan army often slaughtered cities.

The reason is that most of the people in these places are loyal and resolute, and there are often people who revolt against the Yuan Dynasty.

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

Ali Hague is very keen on this iron and blood policy.

Soon, when the cannon sounded for the fourth time, the generals and the Yuan army escorted hundreds of people to the top of the city with swords and guns.

In the army formation of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Dongting saw this scene with a telescope, but he couldn't let go of his raised hand.

The Yuan army doesn't care about the life and death of these people, he can't help it.

The Southern Song Dynasty was able to persist until now, thanks to the righteous men of the people, and to resist the Yuan Dynasty and restore the country, the strength of the righteous men of the people is even more needed.

Zhao Dongting knew very well that he needed the power of the people, otherwise, he would not have worked so hard for the welfare of the people as he did in Leizhou.

Qin Han also saw the people on the top of the city, tilted his head and said indifferently to Zhao Dongting: "Hundreds of people, why should they die?"

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

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu stared at the side, scolding the Yuan army for being shameless.

In fact, this kind of trick is often used by the Yuan army in the defense of the city.In the past, most generals in the Southern Song Dynasty would not care about it. Compared with the rise and fall of the entire country, the lives of ordinary people are really nothing.

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

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

"Ha ha!"

On the top of the city, Wu Mutuo saw that the Song army stopped firing, and laughed wildly, "Song dog is nothing but mediocrity!"

Song Jun called Yuan Jun a Yuan thief, but Yuan Jun was even more ruthless, calling Song Jun a Song dog.When it comes to swearing, the literati in the Southern Song Dynasty are really no match for the tough nomads in the north.

Seeing that Zhao Dongting still refused to give the order, Qin Han had a strange light in his eyes, and said, "In five days, the reinforcements from the Yuan thieves will arrive."

He was naturally urging Zhao Dongting to fire on purpose.

Zhao Da also said beside him: "Your Majesty, let's fire!"

Even though Zhao Dongting's image in his mind can be described as wise and powerful, at this moment, he also felt that Zhao Dongting was a bit weak.And this is a common problem of many Southern Song emperors, which caused the people to criticize and complain.

However, those emperors are weak, but they haven't reached the level of Zhao Dongting, and they don't care about the lives and deaths of hundreds of civilians.At least Zhao Da thinks so.

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

Qin Han snorted softly, and said, "Your Majesty will lose the big by doing this."

Zhao Dongting just pretended not to hear it, unless it was a last resort, he really couldn't bear to bombard these people.

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

When they saw the black flags of the Song Army outside the city, they all had joy in their eyes.

The imperial court's deeds in Leizhou have already spread to Tengzhou, and many young and strong fled to Leizhou. Most of them are old and weak who can't run and don't want to leave their hometown.

An old master saw the orderly and shiny fish-scale guards in the middle of the army formation, and exclaimed excitedly: "That is the army of our Emperor Song!"

The soldiers of the bodyguards fought bravely, and now there are many legends circulating in Tengzhou, all of which came from Leizhou. After countless people exaggerated, only the name of the bodyguards was like a god army among the people. The Yue family army back then did not give up.

Looking at the damaged city wall, they immediately understood why the Yuan thief brought them to the top of the city.I heard that many such things happened in the past, and they were used as a shield.

The old master glared bitterly at the soldiers of the Yuan army who were not far away, and suddenly shouted: "Everyone, I am getting old, how can I be reduced to relying on Yuan thieves?"

He should have some reputation in Tanjin County. When he yelled this, many people who were still panicked looked at him.

The old master's eyes were rosy, "The Yuan thief wants to use my life to defend the city, let me take care of us from the emperor, we and them..."

It's just that before he finished speaking, the general of the Yuan army not far away realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Kill that old man!"

The soldier's spear pierced the old master's chest in an instant. He stared and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the last two words no matter what.

The crowd panicked.

I don't know who it is, but suddenly shouted at this moment, "Fight with these thieves!"

Immediately, a person in the crowd rushed towards the soldiers of the Yuan army.

With some kung fu skills, he pulled out the saber of a soldier of the Yuan army, and chopped off the head of the soldier who was caught off guard to the ground.

Blood spattered all over his face, but he didn't wipe it away, and then chopped at the soldiers of the Yuan army next to him.

This blood immediately aroused the blood of the people of Jinjin County who were pushed away from the city.

Wu Mutuo's army has been burning, killing and looting in the city these days, which has already made them hate it very much.

"Fight them!"

"Kill it!"

For a while, many people on the city wall rushed towards the soldiers of the Yuan army with bare hands.
