The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 892 Bloody Battle at Hengshan ([-])
Chi Fenggu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Only tens of thousands of troops besieged the Song camp, I don't believe how they can deal with it!"

Wang Ziqian still chuckled, "But if the damage is serious, what will we do with the reinforcements from the Song Army?"

"Ah!"

Chi Fenggu sneered, "Junior Brother might have aroused the ambitions of others too much, and destroyed his prestige. Could it be that... he was scared of being beaten by Song Jun?"

Wang Zigan nodded indifferently, "Yes. I am indeed quite afraid of the fighting power of the Song Army."

"Humph!"

There was contempt in Chi Fenggu's eyes, "In this case, then only my army will go out of the city. Only in this way, the military achievements are all mine."

Wang Ziqian murmured, "Brother, should you think about it again? The tens of thousands of Song Imperial Guards are much more difficult to deal with than Liu Hongyi."

But Chi Fenggu said: "Brother, I know what you said, brother. As long as the army attacks the camp tomorrow, won't you pay the price? Don't forget, brother, the speed of soldiers is precious, and the sooner you can get rid of this song Only when the army is destroyed, can we concentrate on dealing with those Song imperial guards."

As he spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Junior brother is young, why is he so mature and prudent, without even the slightest bit of vigor?"

Then his eyes swept across the generals in the hall, and he said meaningfully: "If they all have the mentality of the younger brother, then I, the soldiers of Dali, might as well not attack the Song Kingdom at all?"

Some people laughed in the hall, and some didn't.

The prince was not angry at all, and just raised his wine glass when he heard the words, "Then I wish my brother a successful start and make great contributions to Dali."

In the middle of the night, there were continuous torches in Hengshan Village going out of the city.

The prince did not move.

However, Chi Fenggu personally led [-] imperial troops out of the city.There are more than [-] hot air balloons covering the sky in the night sky.

This is the remaining hot air balloon in his army, which was nearly half damaged before.

There are scouts jumping in the forest.

Then soon, before Chi Fenggu led the army to Songying, Liu Hongyi and others learned that the Dali army was about to attack.

The soldiers were woken up one after another.

Liu Hongyi and the others looked at the exhausted expressions of the soldiers, and there was a little guilt in their eyes, but they were helpless at the moment.

No one said that reinforcements might arrive by dawn.

Right now, it's better not to say it.

When there is no retreat, the power that the soldiers unleash is the most terrifying.

More than [-] grenades and more than [-] sky cannons were quickly assembled.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty stayed in the trenches, waiting for the Dali army from Chi Fenggu to attack.

Under the orders of Liu Hongyi and others, most of the torches in the barracks were extinguished, and the remaining torches were gathered in several remote corners.

In most of the barracks, there is only moonlight shining.

This can most effectively avoid the hot air balloon bombing of the Dali Army.

And the remaining torches were left by Liu Hongyi and others to attract the Dali Army's hot air balloon fire.

Hot air balloons at night are blind.I just don't know how it will feel if those Dali army hot air balloons really throw the Thunderbolts at the places with torches, and then learn that there are no Song army guards around the torches.

Less than half an hour later, a long stretch of torches appeared under the hillside.

The Dali army stretched for several miles.

They formed formation at the foot of the mountain.

The torches that stretched like a long snake became neat, and it could be seen that the Dali army was divided into more than ten large and small army formations.

After a while, there was a drumbeat.

More than a dozen army formations were divided into four roads up the mountain.

Judging from the number of torches in the army, the strength of these four groups should be about the same.

But whether it was really the case when he fell to the ground, only Chi Fenggu and the soldiers in his army knew.

Liu Hongyi can use torches to attract the firepower of hot air balloons, and with Chi Fenggu's clever plan, it's not uncommon for him to use torches to create doubts.

After all, night is not day, and neither side can clearly see the situation in the other side's army.As long as it is a general with some experience, I am afraid that they can come up with such a method.

Although Liu Hongyi and the others knew that Chi Fenggu might be cheating, they could only let the soldiers keep guarding their positions.

Before finding out where Chi Fenggu intends to make a breakthrough, any troop mobilization is futile.The chances of hitting right on the wrong side are too small.

The four Dali armies marched up the hill side by side.

The hot air balloon in the air is the first.

Before the infantry on the ground arrived at the barracks, the more than [-] hot air balloons bombed the Song army camp.

The torches were annihilated in the explosion.

What they really bombed were places where there were only torches but no Song soldiers.

This made many soldiers in the Song army laugh secretly.

The hot air balloon at night is really fucking blind, and these Dali generals are too stupid.

Cannon fire rang.

There were clusters of flames exploding in the Song Army camp.

"what!"

"what!"

A soldier of the Great Song Dynasty made a deliberate scream under the command of the general, but he couldn't help laughing after the scream.

It went on like this for about ten minutes.

The Dali army's hot air balloon blew up all the places with torches, and then threw some mines in the air, and finally retreated.

Thunderbolts are all war preparations, and no country is willing to use them lavishly.

You know, materials are extremely scarce in this era.Even in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Dongting ordered the opening of new mines, but didn't the army recycle waste after every battle?
While the hot air balloon retreated, the Dali soldiers who were only a few hundred meters away from the barracks also continued to move forward.

Up to the fence, they encountered no resistance.

The sound of the drum suddenly sounded like thunder.

"Kill!"

The torches from all walks of life rushed through the already riddled fence and rushed towards the depths of the Song camp.

It is still impossible to tell which places are crowded and which places are few.

There was the sound of cannon.

A grenadier fired from the side of the Songying trench.

It's just that these shells have to face the Dali army from all over the place, and such a battle can't make the Dali army feel timid.

What's more terrible is that the hot air balloons in the sky gathered towards the sky above the trench again when they saw the flames in the Song camp.

This caused Song Jun's grenadiers to run wildly carrying the grenadiers.

The sky cannon also started firing.

There was a burst of flames in the air, and then a hot air balloon fell down like a fireball.

But after the sky cannon fired, it undoubtedly exposed its position.

The soaring gunners are also like the grenadiers, firing back the cannon to change places, and firing back cannons to change places.

Although this avoids the bombing of hot air balloons in the air, the efficiency of destroying these hot air balloons is undoubtedly greatly reduced.

Under such circumstances, the Dali soldiers killed outside the trenches.

Sure enough, there are feints and main attacks.

On the west, south, and east sides of the camp, although the Dali army spread their torches, their actual strength was only about 2000.

They only rushed to more than two hundred meters outside the trench before they all stopped and stopped attacking.

Only the few army formations on the north side of the camp really launched the onslaught.

There were more than [-] of them, and there were many torches. They rushed to the trenches like locusts passing through the border to the sound of drums.

Gunshots resounded.

In the moonlight, I don't know how many Dali soldiers were hit by bullets and fell to the ground on the spot.

And until this time, the corpses on the ground during the day have not had time to clean up.

The Song Shenlong musketeers fired.

When the Dali army got closer, the archers and crossbowmen also began to shoot arrows.

This made the Dali army's offensive slightly hindered, but at the same time exposed the location of the Song army.

Hot air balloons flew over the trenches.

Thunderbolts were thrown down.

There were flashes of fire both inside and outside the trenches.

Fortunately, the trench was dug extremely deep and not wide, so very few thunderbolts fell inside, and the power was suppressed by the soil.

When the Dali soldiers got closer, and some were within tens of meters from the trenches, some Dali soldiers began to throw thunderbolts outside.

This is almost a reproduction of the daytime battle situation.

It's just that the Dali army is lighting torches, so of course they will suffer some losses.

Those soldiers holding torches are often targeted by Shenlong musketeers or archers.

However, Dali archers can only rely on luck if they want to shoot the soldiers of the Song Dynasty in the trenches.

As Wang Zigan said, although they attacked the camp at night to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Song army, the resistance to breaking the camp was greater than that during the day.

When someone finally reached the trench, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were stroked and no one rushed out of the trench.

They let those Dali soldiers jump into the trenches, or on the flat ground behind the trenches, and then fought with those Dali soldiers.

In the moonlight, only the cold glow flickered.
