The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 738 Burning Xiushan Mountain

The two cities are full of endless wars.

Afterwards, under the support of powerful artillery fire, the eastern city gate broke through the city first.

When the soldiers of the Tianji Army attacked the top of the city, there were not many Xiushan soldiers on the top of the city after being bombarded by artillery fire.

With the force of thunder, they took down the entire east gate city, without encountering any large-scale resistance on the way.

More and more soldiers of the Tianji Army had poured into the city at this time, but those Xiushan soldiers who had left the city before were blocked from outside at this time.

The chief commander of the battle at the head of the city was not spared, and was beaten into a sieve by the Shenlong gun.

The Tianji army would suddenly launch a counterattack and directly enter the city, which was indeed beyond their expectations.

It was even more unexpected that the rear army of the Tianji Army blocked all their soldiers from outside the city.

At this time, both the top of the city and the corridors of the city gate are under the control of the Song army.

The guards in the city were no more than a few thousand people, and after countless losses, they had already scattered like birds and beasts.

The cannon throwing carts and grenade launchers carried by the Tianji Army were carried to the top of the city.

Then, the artillery fire began to vent outside the city.

There are also many soldiers throwing thunderbolts below.

Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen had made up their minds to show the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty in this battle, and they obviously had no intention of saving shells.

In the passageway of the city gate, the soldiers of the Tianji Army piled on top of each other, forming a dragon formation, firing continuously.

Inside and outside the city, soldiers from Xiushan were shot and fell down constantly.

In such a fight, if you fall down, it will be very difficult to have a chance to get up again.

Unless the general is injured, otherwise, ordinary soldiers will not be cared about at all.There are even quite a few people who were directly trampled by Pao Ze.

Of course, there are also those who swear to protect the soldiers.

At this time, human nature is glorious.At the same time, it is indifferent and cold-blooded.

Zhang Hongwei saw that the general situation had been settled, so he ordered several regiment commanders in the army to lead their soldiers to the south city gate to rush for help.

In just over ten minutes, thousands of soldiers of the Tianji Army spread directly from the streets in the city to the Nancheng District.

At this time, the Tianji army occupied the city gate, and captured all the artillery vehicles of the Xiushan army who were close to the city gate and had not had time to retreat.There are thousands of people, it is enough to defend the city.

On the street, every house is closed.

When thousands of soldiers of the Tianji Army ran towards the Dongcheng District, they occasionally encountered scattered Xiushan soldiers on the street. They were not polite, and they all shot down.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they approached the south gate.

At this time, at the South City Gate, soldiers of Xiushan Army were still fighting bloody battles with soldiers of Tianxian Army.Xiushan's army is on the inside, and Tianxian's army is on the outside.

Song Ruili supervised the battle from a high place. Originally watching the whole battle situation, he still had hope in his heart to persist until Jiang Kui's reinforcements arrived.At this moment, seeing the thousands of Heavenly Machine Army, the color on his face no longer paled.

He is not God.

The battle at the south city gate was difficult and dangerous just now, and he managed to stabilize the situation under this situation, but he was completely powerless to control the Xiushan army at the east city gate.

In this era of commanding and fighting, orders are quite unchanged.Moreover, he couldn't see the battle situation in Dongcheng District at all, and he didn't dare to give orders easily.

When the sound of the artillery fire from the previous end suddenly became intensive, he knew that the East City Gate was most likely lost.However, he never imagined that the Tianji Army would rush over to help so soon.

There are [-] soldiers over there. Could it be that they were defeated by the Tianji Army so quickly?
Song Ruili didn't know that Zhang Hongwei directly led the army to occupy the top of the city, but at this moment he closed his eyes dejectedly, and sighed: "Mediocre general... mediocre general..."

He was obviously blaming the generals who supervised the battle at the east gate.

In his opinion, as long as he is not stupid, there is absolutely no reason for the Tianji army to capture the gate of the city so quickly.

But it is obviously useless to say these now.

When he opened his eyes again, Song Ruili's eyes showed a little struggle, and then quickly became firm again.

He probably belongs to the kind of person who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back. Seeing thousands of Tianji soldiers getting closer, he still doesn't want to give the order to retreat.

"Fight to the death! The rear army deploys defenses along the street to block the reinforcements from the Song thieves!"

He coldly uttered these words to the orderly waiting beside him.

The orderly hurried downstairs.

This battle, I am afraid that it will not be given up until one side is completely exhausted.

And in fact, it is.

The sound of gunfire in Xiushan City lasted from noon until late at night before barely stopping.

The strong smell of blood and gunpowder smoke lingers in the air endlessly.

The city was littered with corpses.

Zhao Liangcai, Song Ruili and others escaped from the city, but even counting the accompanying relatives, there were only a thousand or so people.

The remaining Xiushan soldiers were either wiped out in the city, or they knelt down and begged for surrender.

Zhang Hongwei and the others were not very polite to these Dali soldiers. After disarming, they were detained in the army.

Later, the army went to the city to build food, and all the food, grass and ordnance in the barracks were taken into the bag by the Song army.

A regiment leader led his soldiers to rush into various government offices in Xiushan City, and destroyed all the property that could be moved and those that could not be moved on the spot.

In the end, fires spread across government offices in Xiushan City.

This made the people in the city panic, thinking that the Song army would burn, kill, loot, and even massacre the city.

Some people hurried out of the city with their families.

But in the end, after the fire was extinguished that night, Xiushan City was extremely peaceful.

The Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty did not make any disturbance to the people.

It was Zhang Hongwei's order to burn down the government office.The emperor said that Dali contributed to the chaos caused by King Guang, and Dali must pay the price for this attack.

However, disturbing the people and massacring the people are strictly prohibited by Zhao Dongting.

Zhang Hongwei can only do this, to vent his anger and show off the might of the Great Song Army.

Daide wants to rebuild these government offices in Xiushan County, and it will definitely consume a lot of gold and silver treasures.

The next day.

Fires also spread in the two military camps in the city in the early morning.

The thick gunpowder smoke can be seen almost anywhere in Xiushan City.

Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen left the city with their army.

There are countless food, grass, gold and silver treasures, and military equipment in the army, and there are [-] soldiers from the Xiushan army.

Although nearly [-] soldiers were lost in the Tianji and Tianxian armies in this battle, most of the soldiers still had excited and high-spirited expressions on their faces.

It is of course a big victory for four thousand troops to break through the big city guarded by thirty thousand people.

The army marched northward, heading towards Shanchanfu.

In the afternoon of this day, he met the reinforcements from Shanchan Mansion who were rushing to Xiushan County on the official road.

The distance between the two armies was only more than ten miles, and they both stopped on the official road after receiving the scouting report.

Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen were immediately in front of the army.

After the army was garrisoned, Zhang Hongwei asked Liu Zhuwen, "Mr. Liu, should we avoid his sharp edge first, or..."

Liu Zhuwen shook his fan and chuckled, "Does Commander Zhang know Chen Qingzhi, the white-robed general?"

Zhang Hongwei was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I understand what you mean."

Chen Qingzhi in the white robe of the Southern Dynasty, the [-] white-robed army defeated the many with less, stretched across thousands of miles, and defeated the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty.It can be said to be a legend in the military world, so naturally he has never heard of it.

But their situation now is similar to that of Chen Qingzhi who went deep into the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Zhang Hongwei immediately said: "Then Zhang led the Tianji Army to try their strength?"

Liu Zhuwen shook his head, "Why do you need to dispatch the whole army of Tianji to fight in the field. Why don't Commander Zhang lend me the Tiger Army first, and I go to the battle, how about it?"

The Tiger Army is a special force in the Tianji Army. The soldiers in the army are all elites selected from the Tianji Army, and they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

Zhang Hongwei was slightly surprised: "Could it be that Commander Liu is going to use the Tiger Army and the Shending Army to break the formation?"

Liu Zhuwen said: "As long as Commander Zhang and you lead the army in the rear sweeping formation, that's enough."

"it is good!"

Zhang Hongwei nodded, "Then in this battle, Zhang will see that Commander Liu will make another brilliant achievement!"

Using Liu Zhuwen's method, they broke through Xiushan City with a big victory.Today, Zhang Hongwei admires Liu Zhuwen even more.

In terms of force, Liu Zhuwen is not as good as him, and in terms of archery, he is far worse.But when it comes to military tactics, he is ashamed of himself.

Immediately, Zhang Hongwei called the commander of the Tiger Army, that is, the head of the Tiger Army, and asked him to obey Liu Zhuwen's dispatch.

Liu Zhuwen led the two armies of Tiger and Shending, with a total of less than 2000 people, leading the army and continuing to go north.

Zhang Hongwei led the army and followed behind.

The journey of more than ten miles, for the army, is not far, but it is not close.After all, in this era, it is already the limit for a large army to be able to travel hundreds of miles a day.

But Liu Zhuwen's tiger and shending armies both had fast horses, and their hoofs were rolling, and they galloped towards the reinforcements of Shanchan Mansion in the north at a very high speed.
