The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1161 Battle of Tongchuan Mansion ([-])

With the sky cannons firing in unison, the Tongchuan Hot Air Balloon Army quickly fell into a disadvantage.

After several rounds of cannon fire, not to mention how much their hot air balloon was damaged, but the situation has been suppressed.

The hot air balloons in the Song and Xixia armies also changed accordingly.

With the support of the sky cannon, the Qi Tian army, which was as curved as a sword, continued to press forward like a god.

The hot air balloons of the Great Song Imperial Army scattered around.

They began to clear the way for the robes on the ground.

Those defenders of Tongchuan Mansion who had stepped out of the bunker or tunnel were now exposed to their eyes, and naturally became their bombing targets.

And this naturally put more pressure on the defenders of Tongchuan Mansion on the ground.

They are dealing with attacks from the air and the ground at the same time, and they have nothing to do with the hot air balloons in the air.

Apart from complaining in my heart that my own hot air balloon is really useless, I really only have to be bombed.

Many defenders of Tongchuan Mansion couldn't stand the bombardment, and ran back to the bunkers or tunnels one after another.

This only relieved the pressure on the Great Song Forbidden Army on the ground, and made them even more aggressive.

Some soldiers ran outside the city one after another to report the situation in the city to Yue Peng and others.

The Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty entered the city again.

Under Yue Peng's order, the entire infantry of the Tiankui, Tianyong, and Tianmeng armies was dispatched.

Although calculated, the real infantry of each army is no more than four regiments, and the total number is no more than [-].But this kind of power has a great influence on the city.

After all, it is impossible for the Tongchuan government army to swarm up.

They occupied the city, so they must have line after line of defense.Although there are 2 soldiers, it is estimated that there are less than [-] people ambushing in front of the city wall.

Of course, it's not impossible for the deputy palace lord of Guigu to send the army behind to the front for reinforcements.

But since he hasn't moved yet, it is obvious that he has no such plan.

Even if there is a transfer, it must be done in the tunnel.The soldiers of the Song Army couldn't see these.

It is impossible for the deputy palace master of Guigu, Chi Fenggu and others to let soldiers show up on the streets when the air supremacy is gradually being occupied by Xixia and Dasong hot air balloons.

The fighting in the city became more intense.

As the remaining infantry regiments of the Great Song Forbidden Army poured into the city, hundreds of meters inside the city were quickly occupied by the Great Song Forbidden Army.

Those defenders of Tongchuan Mansion who hid in the bunkers and did not dare to show their faces were all surrounded and annihilated.

It is not easy for the Great Song Imperial Army to break through those tunnels.

Guigu Deputy Palace Master and others deployed heavy troops at the entrance of the tunnel.

These soldiers all resisted with Thunderbolt, and their lethality was by no means low.

Gradually, corpses littered the city.

The smell of blood spread in the air along with the gunpowder smoke.

However, there has never been a clash of swords and soldiers between the two armies.

It seems that after Zhao Dongting invented many hot weapons, cold weapons have gradually been relegated to the sidelines.

Take the Forbidden Army of the Great Song Dynasty as an example, unless they were iron cavalry, or they were killed to the point of running out of ammunition and food, they basically would not use swords and guns as their main weapon.

The Shenlong gun is much more powerful than a sword or gun.

That is to say, Zhao Dongting has not yet popularized the Shenlong blunderbuss to every soldier in the army, otherwise, it will be closer to modern warfare.

It is conceivable that the modern army has the advantage against the cold weapon army.

The fight did not end until noon.

After nearly two hours of fighting, nearly half of the northern city of Tongchuan Prefecture was captured by the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty.

The hot air balloons of the defenders of Tongchuan Mansion kept retreating and suffered heavy losses.

The morale of the defenders gradually declined.

Although they still have a lot of soldiers, they are afraid that everyone is worried about whether they can hold the Tongchuan Mansion, and they are not sure at all.

The fight was ended by the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty first.

At this time, Yue Peng led all the iron cavalry outside the city to the city, and let the soldiers call gold in the city.

He didn't want the soldiers to continue fighting so tiredly.

He is bound to win Tongchuan Mansion.There is no rush to wipe out all the defenders of Tongchuan Mansion in the city immediately.

Because he was not afraid that the Tongchuan government army would run out of the city.

The hot air balloon in the sky is not a decoration.

It would be more in line with Yue Peng's wishes if the Tongchuan government army withdrew from the city.

When the time comes to bomb with hot air balloons, the troops of Xin Song Dynasty and Dali in Tongchuan Mansion will be completely defeated.

Just inside the city, the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the Xixia Army began to make food.

Both He Liancheng and Qu Rujian were invited to the courtyard where Yue Peng stopped temporarily.

When the two saw Yue Peng, their faces were a little complicated.

They knew that the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty were strong, but they never imagined that they would be so strong.

Even the [-] defenders in Tongchuan Mansion couldn't resist the attack of the imperial guards of Song Dynasty.

They originally thought that Yue Peng would eventually ask the Xixia Army to help them, but looking at it now, it was naturally not necessarily the case.

In the Great Song Imperial Army, most of the soldiers have not yet moved.

Except for the light and heavy cavalry that could destroy the iron cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty head-on, there are also special regiments that are rumored to be much more powerful than the ordinary imperial army, but they have not been dispatched.

Both of them couldn't help but wondered whether the defenders of Tongchuan Mansion could form an effective resistance if all the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty pressed up.

Perhaps, the two of them will really be reduced to watching a show this time.

As soon as he entered the house, Yue Peng smiled at the two of them: "Yue thanked General Helian and General Qu for their help."

There was no wine in the army, so he just picked up his teacup.

Qu Rujian and He Liancheng smiled, but it was a little strange.

Except for Qu Rujian's Qi Tian Army, they really didn't help much.Not even flag-waving.

Immediately He Liancheng said: "Marshal Yue, you are being polite, our Imperial Army of Xixia has not been of any use yet."

Yue Peng got up and let the two sit down, and said with a smile: "After all, the New Song Dynasty has two roads, Chengdu Mansion and Tongchuan Mansion. If we break through this Tongchuan Mansion City, there will definitely be troops in the New Song Dynasty who will resist us. When the time comes, we will have to Generals Helian and Qu Rujian have really helped each other out. Moreover, the Tongchuan Mansion alone has to be troubled by the two generals."

As he spoke, he looked at Qu Rujian, "General Qu's Qi Tian Army is really powerful, it opened Yue's eyes."

Qu Rujian clasped his hands, "Marshal Yue praised you absurdly. Qu knows that the Qitian Army is far inferior to your country's Flying Army."

He is not self-effacing, but speaking from the heart.

Even though he had never seen the Feitian Army, he could imagine how elite the Feitian Army would be from these Great Song Forbidden Army.

It is true that he has thunderbolts and hot air balloons in his Qi Tian army.

However, the rest of the equipment is far from being comparable to the Flying Army.

Although armor and dragon guns are of no great use in the air, Qu Rujian thought that there must be sky cannons in the flying army.

And the soaring gunners of the Great Song Forbidden Army on the city wall just now opened his eyes.

He asked himself, if his Qitian army encountered such a sky-rocketing artillery regiment, it would inevitably end in destruction.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Yue Peng brought the topic back to the main topic, saying: "At present, the defenders of Tongchuan Mansion are gradually withdrawing to the city, ambushing everywhere in the city, and we have suffered a lot from the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty. Yuemou wants to invite the two army commanders to lead the soldiers from the two wings to the depths of the city when the next large-scale attack is made, and form a two-sided attack situation with the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture of our army. I wonder if the two generals are willing?"

He Liancheng murmured slightly upon hearing the words, "Marshal Yue has something to say, He Liancheng should help with all his strength. It's just... Will the guards in this city be prepared?"

He had a bit of embarrassment on his face, "If they had been prepared, our Xixia Imperial Army does not have such a sharp weapon as the Shenlong Gun, so maybe it would not be too smooth."

He knew exactly how powerful Xixia's imperial army was.

It is not easy for the New Song Army and Dali Army in Tongchuan Mansion to block the Great Song Imperial Army, but compared with their Xixia Army, they are by no means weaker, and should even be stronger.

After all, the weakness of the Xixia army did not happen overnight.For decades, the Xixia army has been famously incapable of fighting.

After Empress Zong ascended the throne, she often imitated the Song Dynasty's method of governing the army, but so far, the results have not been particularly remarkable.

Yue Peng laughed lightly when he heard the words, "General Helian, don't worry. Since Yue has clearly stated that the imperial army of your country is only providing assistance in this battle to destroy the New Song Dynasty, he will not let the imperial army of your country chew on those hard bones. When we attack again, Yue will let the special regiment of the army charge ahead of your army to clear the way for your army."

He Liancheng and Qu Rujian were moved.

After looking at each other, He Liancheng said: "So, He Liancheng is relieved."

He even looked forward to it a little bit.

Because he also wanted to have a closer look at how powerful the special regiments in the Great Song Imperial Army were.
