The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 734 Breaking through Xiushan ([-])

When the smoke was exhausted outside the city, the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty made another movement.

The [-] forbidden troops were divided into two parts, one was still marching towards the east gate of Xiushan County, while the other was going around towards the south gate of Xiushan County.

A Dali general on the top of the city saw this, and hurriedly sent someone to the depths of the city to report to Zhao Liangcai.

The Song army obviously wanted to divide into two parts to attack the city, but their main defensive force was concentrated on the east gate.

Although the total number of Song troops was only [-], it was possible to break through the city from the south gate.

And as long as the city gate is broken, it will not be so easy to expel the Song army.

Zhao Liangcai galloped from the mansion to the bottom of the city wall in a hurry, and ran up to the top of the city wall.

Then seeing that the Song army was not far from the city to the south outside the city, they hurriedly dispatched troops and rearranged the troops in the city, and asked the generals to lead the army to the south gate of the city to help.

Zhao Liang had heard of the Song army's destruction in Yongzhou.Therefore, although he despised the Song army's siege policy, he did not dare to neglect it.

A large number of Xiushan soldiers rushed to the south gate.

Immediately, the city gate became densely packed, and the soldiers were rushing about in full swing.

Zhang Hongwei led the Tianji Army to the south gate.

Nearly ten thousand soldiers lined up in ten small square formations, and these small square formations formed a rather mysterious formation with each other.

Zhao Liangcai was on the east gate, unable to see the scene here.

The generals who were supervising the battle here frowned slightly, because they were a little uncertain about the Song Army's intentions.

The ten square formations of the Song Army formed a rectangular formation, which could be attacked or defended.No one could tell whether they were planning to attack the city, or whether they were just trying to disperse the troops in the city.

But even if the troops were dispersed, could it be that there were only nearly ten thousand Song troops outside the Dongcheng Gate, and they could break through the Dongcheng Gate?

You know, the East City Gate is the most heavily guarded place.There are countless cannon carts on it.

Could it be that the real killing move is at the south gate?
But when Xiushan County was preparing for the battle solemnly on the top of the city, there was a sound of drums outside the city.

The sound of the drums was as loud as thunder.

I saw the order flag waving on the women's car in the phalanx of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty.

Both Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen did not go out to the army again, but hid in the depths of the army to arrange command.

Outside the south city gate, a hot air balloon slowly inflated like a mushroom.There are a total of two hundred.

But outside the gate of the east city, there was dust flying in the Song army, and the Song army began to change formation.However, no soldiers attacked the city.

"Sure enough, I want to break through the South City Gate!"

The general of the Xiushan Army who was supervising the battle at the Nancheng Gate showed a sneer, and immediately ordered: "Order the Qitian Army in the city to take off immediately to face the Song Army!"

A messenger led the way.

The general murmured, "Do you want to destroy the city just by relying on hot air balloons? Hmph, why don't you think you are the only one in the whole world with hot air balloons?"

Zhao Dongting implemented the New Deal, and set up flying troops, grenadiers, etc. in each forbidden army.Dali is obviously doing the same in China.

As the most advanced weapon of this era, hot air balloons are also known as invincible. There is no reason not to equip all armies.No matter how much, it's always better than nothing.

The strategy of controlling the air has gradually become popular in the military in this era.

Just over ten minutes.

Inside and outside the South City Gate, there are hot air balloons flying high into the sky.And in terms of quantity, the number of hot air balloons in Xiushan's army is even more than that under Zhang Hongwei's command.

There are about five hundred.

This is naturally a huge gap.

But in the depths of the army formation, Zhang Hongwei watched the scene with one eye, watching Xiushan Army's hot air balloon flying towards the outside of the city, but his expression did not change much.

But outside the East City Gate, there was still a dusty scene.

This made Zhao Liangcai in the city a little confused.Even the generals from Guigu Academy didn't know what the Song army wanted to do.

Juggling?

Paralyze the military?

Zhao Liangcai looked to the south at high altitude.

Seeing the mighty hot air balloons of our own side, far superior to the hot air balloons of the machine army that day, although I was still a little puzzled, the corners of my mouth couldn't help showing a little smile.

He really didn't know what capital Song Jun had to break through Xiushan City.

hot air balloon?
With just two hundred hot air balloons, this is absolutely impossible.

Thrower?
With hot air balloons, what power can grenade launchers do?
Thinking of this, Zhao Liangcai's expression suddenly changed.

He was able to achieve his current status in Dali, so he was naturally not an ordinary person.In governance, he has an unusually rich experience.And running the army is equally good.

Dali has lived in peace for decades, although he has never led an army.But there are countless military books that I have read.

He suddenly thought of something at this moment, and lost his voice: "The hot air balloons of the Song Army are attracting our army out of the city! They want to break through the city through the east gate!"

Then he panicked and said to the messenger next to him: "Go and let Qi Tianjun send two hundred hot air balloons to come here! Go! Go!"

He almost stomped his feet anxiously.

"Yes!"

The messenger didn't dare to neglect, he quickly took orders and ran down the wall in a hurry.Climb on the horse and head towards the south gate.

It is not easy to manufacture hot air balloons in this era, and there are only [-] hot air balloons in Xiushan County.And at this time, they have all been dispatched to the south gate.

Seeing the messenger gallop away, Zhao Liangcai looked out of the city again, heaving a sigh of relief.

But then he couldn't help thinking, even if the Song army broke through the east gate, what would happen to their soldiers at the south gate?

Did they think that two hundred hot air balloons could stop five hundred hot air balloons?
Aren't those soldiers on the ground only to be bombed?

Thinking of this, Zhao Liang almost changed his mind.But in the end, he still held back abruptly.

Three hundred hot air balloons against two hundred, can also win.

In the southern sky, the hot air balloons of the two sides quietly moved extremely close to each other.Seeing that the flames of war will start to ignite from high in the sky.

It wasn't until this time that Song Jun outside the East Gate finally stopped doing useless work.

Amidst the dust, dozens of grenade launchers were suddenly brought forward.Then lay it out in front.

Zhao Liangcai saw this and his expression changed drastically.

If he didn't know Song Jun's plan at this moment, he would be the head of Xiushan County.

The Song army's hot air balloons and grenades were divided into two groups, which clearly used hot air balloons to lure the enemy.This grenadier is the real killing intent to break the city.

He then said to the messenger next to him: "Hurry up and urge the Flying Army to come over!"

Then he ran towards the city.

In this battle, he did not intend to personally command in front of the battle.I didn't have this plan before, and I don't dare now.

The prestige of the Dasong grenadier is not inferior to that of the hot air balloon.

In the air, hot air balloons are invincible.Grenadier, invincible on the ground.

Right now, the hot air balloon in their city is still in the south, but here, there is nothing that can stop the grenade.

In other words, the Song army could only let the Song army bombard the city.In this case, standing on the top of the city is obviously putting oneself in danger.

Obviously Zhao Liangcai would not do such a stupid thing.

Before the dust settled, dozens of grenade launchers from the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty had already been set up properly.

The snare drum suddenly beat up.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The soldiers shouted loudly.

On the female carriage, the orderly waved the flag vigorously.

Cannons sounded.

Cannonballs shot towards the walls of Xiushan City with gray smoke.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

There was a burst of sound, and the sky shook.

The soldiers of the Xiushan Army on the top of the city had never touched this grenadier before. At this moment, they felt the city wall tremble and watched countless bricks fall to the ground. They couldn't help being a little dazed.

Someone secretly swallowed.

Originally thought that Hong Tianlei was already the most powerful firearm in the world, but now he suddenly discovered that Hong Tianlei was nothing compared to this thing with a tail.

Many soldiers panicked naturally.

The soldiers behind the cannon carts and arrow stacks didn't know what to do.Even those generals are the same.

Because the shooting range of the artillery cart and the crossbow can't reach as far as the grenadier.

Some generals looked towards the sky above the south city gate.

The only thing that can deal with grenades is probably only hot air balloons.

But when they saw the situation at the high altitude in the south, their faces turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat broke out.

Inside the city, Zhao Liangcai was also looking up at the sky in the south.At this time, his face was equally ugly.

The situation where five hundred hot air balloons crushed Song Jun's two hundred hot air balloons did not occur.

On the contrary, at this time their hot air balloon is still being ravaged.

After the hot air balloon exploded, it continued to fall towards the ground.Just like the stars keep falling.

On the ground, densely packed shells with thick smoke shot up into the sky.
