The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 867 Attacking River City ([-])

In Chongqing Mansion, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu led the Flying Dragon Army out of the city, and the army of ten thousand people spread towards Peiling, the city of Peizhou County in the east.

Yue Peng personally led the Tiankui army to attack Nanchuan in the south.

Miao Youli, Zheng Yihang, Pang Wenbo and others stayed behind in Chongqing.

Dazhou.

Xiao Yulin led the Tianjie army out of the city in the early morning and rushed to Kaijiang, the county town of Kaizhou.Only in the afternoon, Liu Zijun also led the Tianxiong army out of the city, and also went to Kaijiang.

The situation on the Dazhou side is even more embarrassing than that on the Chongqing side. The Dali army occupies several states, and it is likely to encircle Kuizhou Prefecture.

Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun left the city, not necessarily without the intention of rushing to help Kuizhou Mansion.

Compared with Dazhou, there is no doubt that Kuizhou Mansion is the top priority in the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness.

Correspondingly, after the movement of the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty, the Dali Army quickly made targeted mobilization.

At this time, their troops were scattered in the prefectures and counties occupied by them. After figuring out the intentions of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, it was inevitable to send troops to resist.

The Zangzhou Dali Army seemed to be aware of the changing situation in the north, and suddenly led the army to leave Zangzhou and continue to march north.Direct troops into Suiyang, Zhenzhou.

Zhenzhou is different from the prefectures and counties of these minority tribes. It is a real city under the rule of the Song Dynasty.

After Zhang Jue received the report from the scouts, he immediately led his army to set off, closely following the footsteps of the Dali army in Cangzhou.

According to a rough calculation, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the three kingdoms of the New Song Dynasty, Dali, and Song Dynasty have gathered in the territory of Kuizhou Road.

It seems that the flames of war will be ignited again.

So only two days.

Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun led the army to the outside of Dekaijiang City.

To the east of Kaijiang City, there are clear water and stacked rivers flowing through, and there is no shortage of water sources. The turbid river in the moat is surging.

On the head of the city built with bricks and stones, the banner of the Dali Army can be seen spreading, and the armor is dense.

Looking at the military flag, it is the Huben Army of the White Horse Army.

In the New Song Dynasty, the three armies of Longyou, Huben, and Tiema attacked the Song Dynasty from along Dazhou. Although the Huben army was not as famous as the Longyou army, it was second only to the Longyou army among the seven white horse armies.

At this time, no one knew how many tiger and ben troops gathered in Kaijiang City.

However, there are less than 2 people in the army of Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun.

The two led the army until they stopped slowly a few hundred meters outside the west gate of Dekaijiang City.The cavalry and infantry soldiers each accounted for about half of the army, and they were all neatly dressed in black armor.

Flags and cloaks fluttered in the wind.

The two armies of Tianyong and Tianjie formed their own formations.

Looking from a distance, one can see that Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin are both deep in the formation.There is a big banner standing high on the side.

In front of the army, there was a fierce general in the army, holding a gun, and glaring at the city.

And at the top of the city, many generals of the Dali Army looked coldly at the outside of the city.

Beside them, there are many artillery carts.

The crossbowmen stood behind the wall, only the tip of the arrow was exposed, and the cold light was shining.

There are also ballistas, and the sharp arrows like javelins are even more breathtaking.

Although the ballista lacks flexibility, it is a sharp weapon for defending the city.Its range is not much worse than grenades.

This persistence lasted for about ten minutes.

There was movement in Xiao Yulin's army first.

All I could see was the ordering flag soldier on the female carriage waving the red ordering arrow in his hand.

Then, some soldiers in the army bowed their waists and hurried to the front of the formation.

There are about 200 people, it is the grenadier battalion.

After running to the front of the formation, the 200 people all squatted on the ground, and then one of them took off the wooden box on his back, put it on the ground and opened it.

Inside were swarthy grenades.

The soldiers work in groups of two and cooperate with each other to combine the grenades at a very fast speed.

Immediately afterwards, movement was also seen in Liu Zijun's army.

The same grenadier battalion soldiers ran to the front of the army to set up guns.

This magical weapon of the Song Dynasty is definitely a great deterrent to the Dali Army.

Now, they can also use hot air balloons to resist the hot air balloons in the Song army.But with grenades, they were helpless.

After waiting for a full two hundred projectiles to be deployed in front of the Song army, the generals of the Huben Army on the top of the city couldn't help but look a little ugly.

Then, a general waved his hand and shouted to the city: "Bring them up!"

Countless people were taken to the top of the city.

The hands of these common people were tied with hemp rope, and there were soldiers of the Huben army with spears guarding them.

Another shameless method.

But the grenadier battalions of the Tianjie and Tianxiong armies saw this scene and showed no sign of retreating.

The vanguard general of the Tianxiong Army immediately in front of the army shouted at the top of the city: "If you are sensible, then quickly abandon the city and surrender. Otherwise, let you die under the artillery fire immediately!"

General Huben at the top of the city responded, "Don't you care about the lives of these people?"

Liu Zijun in the army sneered coldly.

Kaizhou Zhizhou Juzhou surrendered to the New Song Dynasty. At this time, Kaizhou was the enemy of the Song Dynasty.Under the current situation of Da Song, how could he take care of so much.

Even the emperor has conveyed the Holy Will to the various armies, and as a last resort, he can sacrifice the minority and seek the whole.

Because only by ending the war as soon as possible can more people be saved.

"Fire and demonstrate!"

Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin issued such orders almost at the same time.

Then there were cannons in front of the army.

The Tianjie Army and the Tianxiong Army had hundreds of grenade launchers in front of the formation, and ten of them fired shells at the same time.

These shells hit the walls of Kaijiang City.

The gravel is flying.

Smoke rose.

There were screams from the top of the city.

The generals of the Huben army all showed a little surprise.

They really didn't expect that Song Jun would stop caring about these people now.This completely invalidated their method of threatening the Song army with the common people.

Some generals hurried down the city with their soldiers.

After the artillery stopped, the Song army did not continue to fire.

Both Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin looked at the top of the city with binoculars.

They naturally saw that there were many Xin Song soldiers on the top of the city retreating to the bottom of the city.

I don't know if I plan to abandon the city wall or what I plan to do.

But no matter what, Kaijiang City must always be taken.

A few minutes later, the command flag on the women's car of the Tianjie Army was waved again.

The tents of the grenadier battalion at the front saw the flag shaking, and shouted loudly: "Get ready to fire!"

Immediately afterwards, the same voice sounded in front of the Tianxiong Army.

Two imperial guards from the Great Song Dynasty attacked Kaijiang City, Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin both had the idea that they must win.

"fire!"

With the final shout, the west gate of Kaijiang City was covered by artillery fire in the blink of an eye.

Smoke filled the air.

Minced meat flew all over the city.

A ballista fired a javelin-like arrow and shot down the city with the sound of piercing through the air.

However, these javelins fell in front of the grenadier battalion.Its range, after all, is not as good as the grenade.

Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun grasped this distance extremely skillfully.

This only made the generals of the Huben army on the top of the city panic, and gritted their teeth in hatred.I only regret that there is no such sharp weapon as a grenadier in our own army.

If their armaments were as strong as the Song army, how could their Huben army fall into such a passive situation?
After just two rounds of cannon fire, the Huben army on the top of the city was almost dumbfounded.

I don't know how many ballistas, soldiers, and catapults were blown up in the explosion just now.

"kill!"

The big banners in the Tianjie and Tianxiong armies of the Great Song Dynasty were shaking, the drums were beating suddenly, and the shouts of killing suddenly shook the sky.

Under the cover of grenades, the infantry attacked Kaijiang City Gate.

They have trained countless times in this kind of city-breaking exercise in the military area, so it can be said that they are familiar with it.

There are catapults throwing thunderbolts on the top of the city to resist, but there are very few.

After the explosion just now, there were not many soldiers left on the top of the city.

It is basically impossible for them to resist the simultaneous attacks of Tianjie and Tianxiong armies.

The infantry of the two armies approached [-] people, and they rushed out of the moat quickly.

The New Song Army did a great job. Even the stone bridges on the moat that were originally used for traffic had been blown up by them at this time.

This almost cut off the possibility of the Song army attacking the city with heavy equipment.

But Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun didn't seem to have such plans.

There are not many heavy equipment in the current Great Song Army.The battering rams, ladders, etc. in the past are almost all abandoned.

Some soldiers jumped into the water with their pouches on.

There are also sharpshooters in the army squatting on the ground, aiming at the ropes of the drawbridge over the city gate.

Only gunshots were heard.

The extremely heavy suspension bridge fell to the ground with a bang, across the moat.

Although the suspension bridge was not very wide, it still gave the Great Song Imperial Army a way to attack the city gate.

The soldiers of the Huben army on the top of the city were dumbfounded.

They obviously never thought that Song Jun could still use this method to get close to the city.

Some generals shouted again and again: "Throw thunder! Shoot arrows! Stop them!"

But their voices were so inaudible amidst the successive cannon fires.

Many imperial guards of the Song Dynasty rushed to the city gate along the suspension bridge.
