The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 186 What a pity it is to throw so many good things into the Yellow River?
On the seven beams, Song Yingkui stood on horseback, looking at the mountains with overlapping mountains and grass.

After a few years, I am going to Wazhou again. I wonder what the once prosperous city has become now.
Qidaoliang is close to Qian Castle, and you can reach Wazhou City directly from Didao.But because the mountain road is difficult, most of the time no one would choose this road.This time, when Xiang Jun launched a full-scale attack on Yun Gu's rule, he also deliberately avoided this road.It is estimated that they were afraid that Yungu's army would attack from the side along the mountain road and block their retreat, making it difficult for them to return.In fact, when formulating the battle plan, this aspect was indeed taken into consideration.

On this mountain road, the Yungu Army has friendly forces, and the mine owners and miners of Qian Castle are a big help.

Even though Qian Castle and Wazhou were within easy reach, Xiang Jun could not control Qian Castle as easily as he did Wei Jiachuan.Relying on the cement bunker and the interconnected mines, the mine owners of Qian Castle are not afraid of Xiang Jun looking for trouble.Unlike Wei Jiachuan, who had to make a living by farming, they had no problem hiding in bunkers and tunnels for a long time. The Yungu Army could get in touch with them along the mountain road. There were solid fortifications inside and strong reinforcements from outside. Not afraid of Xiang Jun's long siege.

"The Lord of the Song Dynasty is passing through the border with his troops. I have been waiting here for a long time. I hope I can drink a bowl of thin wine to ward off the cold." After passing the last two beams of the seven beams, several miners from Qian Castle came to the roadside with their people. .

"I'm sorry to bother you all! If Song takes down Wazhou City this time, let's drink strong liquor under the city." Holding up the wine handed over by the miners, Song Yingkui drank it down in one gulp, and then invited them to come to Wazhou City then. City drinking.

After capturing Wazhou City, the help of these local snakes will be indispensable.

Having seen the mines in Qian Castle, Song Yingkui led his men straight to the foot of Wazhou City without delay.

More than 1000 soldiers and horses faced the large city of Wazhou and could only surround one gate.Xiang Jun's general who defended the city was sensible and did not send troops to fight outside the city. Instead, he closed the city gate and stood at the top of the city, watching from a distance more than a thousand Yungu troops and Sunan vassal cavalry shouting at the city.In his opinion, these people were looking for death. As long as they were held back while defending the city, when the general returned with his troops to complete the encirclement, their burial place would be under Wazhou City.

With more than 1000 people coming to attack Wazhou City, this is just a joke.

"Tao Dalan, after the war begins, be sure to use artillery to blast Xiang Jun on the gate tower of the west city until he cannot stand. Zuo Shaotang, after the artillery suppresses Xiang Jun on the gate tower, your brigade will be the first to board the troops. Use the city climbing ladder to climb to the city gate as quickly as possible, then use volleys of artillery to fend off Xiang Jun's counterattack, open the city gate, and coordinate the main force to enter the city. Commander Wei, you are the vanguard entering the city. As soon as the city gate is opened, Then lead your troops to charge forward and kill the enemy when you encounter them. Chief Bai, you lead the auxiliary warriors and cavalry to follow the Wei camp commander into the city. Remember, after entering the city, be fierce, fast, and ruthless! We must use extremely short Time to control Wazhou City."

Arriving at the foot of Wazhou City, Song Yingkui immediately launched a combat deployment. Time is life. Only by attacking Wazhou City as soon as possible can he take the initiative in the war.

After giving the order, Tao Dalan and his men carried mortars to advance and attack.One inch long and one inch strong, although the range of the mortar is not far, Xiang Jun who defended the city did not have long-distance attack methods. He could only watch the mortar advance and bombard the city head with explosive shells unscrupulously. .Mortars are new weapons, not many were made, and only eight were brought here this time.But the eight gates are enough to suppress the gate of Wazhou West City.After a round of shelling, Xiang Jun, who was standing at the top of the city, retreated to another place in embarrassment.

Upon seeing this, Zuo Shaotang quickly led his people to carry the stool ladder to the foot of the Wazhou city wall and started the stool operation.When Zuo Shaotang led his men to climb to the top of the city, Xiang Jun reacted and prepared to fight back.What greeted them was a barrage of cannons.They had never experienced such a dense bombardment with firearms. They screamed and fled in all directions.

When General Xiang Jun fled from Wazhou City in embarrassment with his soldiers, he was a little unbelievable. In just one hour, the fortified city he was guarding was actually breached. More than 1000 defenders and two to three thousand sign troops were almost completely defeated. When the enemy is encountered, they are defeated.Why does everything that happened feel so unreal?
It was not only General Xiang Jun who was shocked. The Sunan vassal cavalry who followed the Yungu army to attack the city, especially the leader of the Yeli tribe, did not dare to look at Song Yingkui after entering Wazhou City.At that time, they were still thinking about where to defend Baishi City, but today they were confused when they saw the Yungu army's method of attacking the city.Fortunately, Mr. Song was more open-minded back then, otherwise the Yeli tribe would have been wiped out.Never dare to offend Song Yungu again in the future!

"Instruct the pack team on standby at Qian Castle to come to Zhuchengzhou as soon as possible to carry the grain back to Taoyang. Remember, only carry grain, as much grain as you can carry, and stop action before dark tomorrow. Others in Wazhou City We can just let the people from Qian Castle take away the supplies and the food we can't carry. Before nightfall tomorrow, no matter how much is left, all will be thrown into the Yellow River!" Song Yingkui stood at the place where Xiang Jun stacked supplies in Wazhou City. It was with great distress that I started arranging the disposal of materials.

There are a lot of supplies piled up in Wazhou City, and the food is probably more than ten thousand dan. Unfortunately, the transportation capacity is limited, and it is impossible for a 2000-person pack team to carry all these supplies.There weren't many people on the other side of Qian Castle, and they couldn't take much with them either. At least half of the supplies would be thrown into the Yellow River.

"With so many good things, it would be a pity to throw them into the Yellow River?" Others did not dare to object to City Lord Song's arrangements. Bai Feiyan came over and asked Song Yingkui distressedly.

"What if we don't throw it away? After the main force of Xiang's army returns, we have to evacuate the city as soon as possible, otherwise we will be surrounded by them. Besides, except for food and cloth, the materials in front of us are actually not valuable, so just throw them away. Come on." The materials seized in Wazhou City did not include gold, silver or valuables, that is, grain, cloth, salt, some iron materials, hay and other sundries.In addition to food, Yungu Army is not short of other things, so there is no need to feel too distressed just thinking about it.

"My lord, Xiang Jun in the West Castle is moving around, and he seems to be coming to attack Wazhou!" Just as he was arranging for people to dispose of supplies, Wei Dadao came to report that Xiang Jun stationed in the West Castle had made unusual movements.

"Take your own troops and set up defenses in the west of the city. Don't let them miss our plan to transport food. Chief Bai, you have a force to go to the east of the city in the Gouwa Ridge area to stop the enemy. No matter what, you have to win for us. It takes one day and one night to transport food." Two to three thousand Xiang troops were stationed in the West Castle to the west of Wazhou City to prevent the Xifan Army from reaching the west bank of Sichuan Pass, while the main force of Xiang Army on the east side was less than a day away from Wazhou City.In terms of time, there is not much left for the Yungu Army. They must seize all the time to transport more food to Di Dao.

After all, there are still too few troops. If there are more than 3000 available mobile troops on hand, after a successful raid on Wazhou, at least Xiang Jun living in the West Castle can be eaten!
