The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1506 Shangluo is Broken
To capture the thief first, capture the king, this is an unbreakable tactic in any dynasty.

Compared with smashing down the city gate, it is obviously more meaningful to assassinate the general of the Yuan army.

The city gate was broken, and Pao Ze outside the city still had to risk his life to force his way into the city.But killing the general of the Yuan army is enough to make the Yuan army in the city mess up.

In fact, Yuan Jun was indeed flustered.

They had just been gathered by the Lord General, and they were planning to set up defenses in the city.But in the blink of an eye, the general was dead.

He is dead, who will take charge of the overall situation?

The organizational system in the Yuan army is not like that in the Song army.Their chief general has absolute authority in the army. Although there are also lieutenant generals and so on, it is almost equivalent to an empty title, which is only set up to supervise the chief general.Not to mention whether he has that kind of prestige in the army, just in terms of leading troops in combat, he may be a layman.

As for those partial generals, etc., most of them can only control their own subordinates.

Following the death of the chief general, there were panicked shouts, "The general is dead! The general is dead!"

A group of low-ranking generals in the army looked around and looked at each other.

The deputy general and the supervising army were even more pale.

In the army, the only one who is truly capable of commanding battles is the fallen general.

The horse formation, which was originally fairly neat, gradually became a little disorganized.

Immediately, the Yuan army was at a loss.

On the top of the city, artillery fire is still spreading.

Below the city, a shell was falling just outside the city gate.Amidst the loud bang, the city gate was blown to pieces.

Countless people behind the Yuan army turned their heads, and seeing this scene, their expressions became even more flustered.

"Song Jun is about to come in!"

"Song Jun is about to come in!"

I don't know how many people are shouting.

These Yuan troops who had lost their generals became even more panicked, and then scattered like birds and beasts.

They hurried along the various streets towards the depths of the city.Naturally, they no longer cared about looking for those Wudingtang priests who assassinated their generals.

After just a few minutes, the sound of artillery above the city stopped.

The sound of killing outside the stadium was loud.

In less than 10 minutes, the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty appeared outside the corridor of the city gate.They rode on horses, holding Shenlong guns, and rushed into the city like a rainbow.

In the air, those flame-breathing hot air balloons also spread towards the sky above the city.

Afterwards, the sound of gunfire in the city was chaotic.

The Tianbao army and Luzhou garrison officers and soldiers mopped up the disintegrated Yuan army in the city.

This war did not end until almost dawn.

Of the 2000 defenders in Shangluo Mansion, more than [-] were killed.Only less than [-] people were killed, most of whom were captured.

Zhang Guangbao and Yuan Kangbo led their soldiers to take down the government office, but the government office was empty at this time.

They didn't send troops to chase after them. While letting the soldiers clean up the battlefield, they only sent people to hang the national flag of the Song Dynasty on the top of the city and in the government office.

Two flags were flying in Shangluo Mansion.

At this time, the soldiers of the Tiangui Army led by Ba Tuom had also gathered in Shangluo Town and Liangjingshan, and rushed towards Luonan County.

As long as Luonan County is taken, the entire Shangzhou territory will fall into the hands of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

Within the territory of Jingzhao Mansion, Qianyou Town.

Shi Kaiji led Tianshang, Tianmeng, Tiankui, Tianqiao, and the garrison troops of Chengdu Prefecture and Chongqing Prefecture to gather here.

This made a total of [-] Song soldiers gather in the mere Qianyou Town.

In fact, with such a force, it is not impossible to try to attack Jingzhao Mansion.But Shi Kaiji did not do this.

In the five days since he arrived here, he didn't even send out a single soldier.

At this time, Wang Dagang, Wei Feiying and other army commanders, vice presidents, and Du Yuhou gathered in his tent.

Shi Kaiji just routinely asked how the situation of the lieutenant soldiers was.

After Wang Dagang and the others reported to each other, Wang Dagang couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Marshal, when do you plan to send troops to Jingzhao Mansion?"

Shi Kaiji just chuckled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to take down Jingzhao Mansion?"

Wang Dagang said: "If we continue to delay, there will only be more Yuan troops gathered in the Jingzhao Mansion, and the preparations will only be more adequate! Aren't we going to lose many soldiers in vain?"

Shi Kaiji shook his head lightly, "The emperor told us to play it safe and develop our base areas first. It is determined that the Yuan Dynasty will not be able to consume our Great Song Dynasty. There is no rush to deal with the Jingzhao Mansion. Wait for Deputy Commander Zhang to lead the army to take Shangzhou In Guozhou and Guozhou, our territory in Jingzhaofu Road will be similar to that of the Yuan army. If we don’t fight them, they will find a way to fight them. Fighting opportunities may also appear.”

"Then what if there is no fighter?" Wang Dagang asked again.

Shi Kaiji said: "Could it be that our army of more than [-] can't deal with the Yuan army?"

Wang Dagang was stunned and did not speak again.So did the rest of the generals.

Although they were eager to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, they also understood the plans of Zhao Dongting, Shi Kaiji and others at this moment.Your majesty, what you want is stability.

Shi Kaiji said again: "Remember to pass the order down, the officers and soldiers in the army are not allowed to take a grain of food from the common people, and they are not allowed to bully any common people. Those who violate it will be dealt with by the military law!"

"The last general takes orders!"

All the generals in the tent surrendered.

Another two days passed.

Ba Tong led the Tiangui army to the outside of Deluonan County.

Although there are only less than [-] soldiers in the Tiangui Army, it still looks like a sea of ​​people.This made the less than [-] defenders in Deluonan County panic.

After the army pushed out of the city, the Yuan Dynasty officials and defenders in the city chose to leave the city and surrender.

Batong led the army into Luonan County.

Afterwards, two thousand Qingqi were sent south to Huangchuan Town.In the evening of the same day, the two thousand Qingqi also successfully captured Huangchuan.

So far, the entire territory of Shangzhou has been captured by Tiangui, Tianbao and the Luzhou garrison.

The next day.

Batumi sent a messenger to deliver a message to Zhang Guangbao, and then led his army to the east.Rush to Guozhou.

Xiao Yulin also approached the outside of Nanyang City from Rangdong at this time.

After removing the main capital Rangcheng, Dengzhou has only two counties, namely Nanyang in the east and Neixiang in the northwest.

The spread of the flames of war has long spread here.

Before Xiao Yulin led the army to Nanyang City, he saw a few fleeing civilians on the official road.They are mostly dusty.

The reason why there are only so few refugees here is undoubtedly that most people choose to flee to the north.

Xiao Yulin was riding a tall horse in the army, and when he saw the refugees in front of him give way to both sides of the road, he lowered his head and couldn't help smiling.

Of course he was not laughing at the humility of these people, but at their choice.

When they go south to Rangdong Town or Rangcheng, they will find that it is not a hell on earth.

Under the guard of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty, although there was no government control, the people of the Yuan Dynasty felt that they could continue to live.Because no one will rob them of their food.

Before I knew it, I went outside Nanyang City.

Xiao Yulin led the soldiers of the Tianjie Army to stop a few hundred meters outside the city. He raised his binoculars and looked towards the top of the city.

You can see that there are many defenders of the Yuan army standing on the top of the city, and you can also see the barrels of the artillery carts and several projectiles.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yulin waved his hands after pondering for a few minutes, saying: "The hot air balloon army is ready to attack!"

Someone from behind suddenly agreed.

In a short time afterwards, two hundred hot air balloons slowly inflated in the Tianjie army formation.

Xiao Yulin said again: "Bomber, keep an eye on those cannons on the top of the city! Blow them all up!"

Not long after the words fell, many grenadiers in the army ran up carrying grenadiers.

They knelt down on one knee in front of the army, and then adjusted the barrels together, aiming at the grenades on the top of the city.

The Forbidden Army of the Great Song Dynasty came fiercely. With these defenders alone, not the main force of the Yuan army, it is impossible to compare with them in terms of ordnance.

As the hot air balloon slowly rose into the sky, under Xiao Yulin's order, the grenadiers carried the grenadiers forward again.

Several grenadiers on the top of the city emitted blue smoke, and they fired after they had advanced no more than ten meters.

Clouds of smoke and dust exploded on the wide flat ground outside the city.

And the grenade launchers of the Tianjie Army knelt down on one knee again amidst the sparse shells, put the grenade launchers in place, and adjusted the barrel again.

The moment they fired the cannon, the situation was completely different in an instant.

More than a hundred grenadiers fired at the top of the city, and in a blink of an eye, all the grenadiers of the Yuan army were buried in the smoke and dust.

Xiao Yulin, as the commander-in-chief of the Tianjie Army, was also a well-known general in the Song Dynasty who was capable of recruiting and fighting.Taking down this mere Nanyang City is a no-brainer.

When the hot air balloon army also arrived in the sky above the city, the Yuan army, which was bombed to pieces, was quickly defeated.
