Iron gun Yang Tiexin

After resting outside the city of Hangzhou for five days, the three armies had all recharged their batteries, so Xue Ji ordered his soldiers to prepare to storm the city of Hangzhou.

This is also Xue Ji's desperate choice.

Shi Miyuan's trump card to Xue Ji has already been sacrificed, but now two days have passed, and no news has come back, just like a drop of water dissolved in the sea without a single splash .

"Could it be that something unexpected happened?"

Involuntarily, Xue Ji thought in his mind. [

"But, even if you die, you still have to send a letter back first!"

Although Sanji was angry in his heart, Xue Ji had nothing to do about it.Because, the so-called trump card is not in Xue Ji's control at all.

What's more, there is nothing in front of my eyes!

In desperation, Xue Ji could only pin his hopes on the more than one hundred thousand troops under his command.

After these few days of operation, 12 Song troops have moved ten miles outside Hangzhou City, and surrounded Hangzhou City on three sides.

The last side is the Qiantang River in Haohao Tangtang.

Most of the naval forces of the Song Dynasty gathered along the Jianghuai line. Although there were naval forces on the Qiantang River, the number was limited, and most of them lived in Hangzhou. Now that Hangzhou is occupied, the Qiantang River has become the territory of the Yingzhou army.

In order to deal with the bandits that appeared out of thin air, Shi Miyuan actually ordered to mobilize the navy to the Jianghuai line.

But the navy of the Song Army was just a navy, not a navy, and it was quite difficult to go around to Qiantang by sea. Besides, there was a navy from Shandong on the other side of the Jianghuai River.

Anyway, since Shi Miyuan ordered the dispatch of the navy to Hangzhou, until now, Xue Ji has not received any news that the navy has come to join.

also.Xue Ji also had another thought: the number of rebels in Hangzhou should be limited, and he has already gathered 12 troops under his command. If he has to wait for the navy to come to share the credit, he doesn't have to look good.

Therefore, I hesitated again and again.In the end, Xue Ji gave the order and started to attack the city directly.

On the sixth day after Xue Ji arrived at the city of Hangzhou, Xue Ji personally ordered 3 people to leave the city and arrive outside the city of Hangzhou.

According to the usual practice, Xue Ji first sent a sergeant to the city of Hangzhou to talk nonsense, mostly saying that surrender can reduce crimes, and stubbornly resisting is a dead end.

Not surprisingly, Xue Ji's move did not get the slightest response from Yingzhou Army.Instead, he was shot with an arrow.

It's just that the Yingzhou army who shot the arrow was more measured. This arrow just shot on the helmet of the shouting Song army, and the Song army was so scared that he ran back with his head in his arms.

"Hmph! You don't have to drink a toast! Come on, prepare to attack the city!"

Following Xue Ji's order, a whole [-] light soldiers of the Song Army came out in a row, carrying bags of sacks, and ran down the city of Hangzhou.

This is to fill in the moat outside the city of Hangzhou first. [

As soon as Song Jun made a move, the city of Hangzhou quickly began to respond.

There was a "squeak" sound of crossbowstring twisting.At the same time, there were sergeants standing on the arrow tower at the head of the city, waving command flags, and reporting a series of numbers to the bottom.

After those Song soldiers ran to a distance of about a hundred steps outside the city of Hangzhou.Then I heard a loud cry from the city of Hangzhou, "Let go!"

Before the voice fell, a black "dark cloud" shot out from the top of the city and rushed directly to the bottom of the city.

The direction shrouded by the "dark cloud" was surprisingly the place where the Song army filling the city was advancing.

Wherever the "dark cloud" passed by, the Song soldiers couldn't stand up one after another, shouting and wailing together.

at this time.Xue Ji had just had time to take a closer look, but found that there were no dark clouds there, which were clearly dense clusters of crossbow arrows.

Just when the first wave of crossbow arrows landed, thousands of Song soldiers fell to the ground, and many of them were killed.There are more than one crossbow bolts inserted.

"This... how many bandit soldiers are there in the city? I'm afraid at least [-] to [-] archers have to shoot in volley to have such an effect, right?"

Just when Xue Ji was shocked, the crossbow arrows at the top of the city did not stop in the slightest. Instead, they followed the Song Army's vanguard and covered them layer by layer in a very regular manner.

The rain of arrows from the Yingzhou Army struck very quickly, and it took less than half a quarter of an hour to cover the Ten Thousand Song Army from the beginning to the end.

But the effect of the rain of arrows is quite good.

After the rain of arrows, there were less than 500 of the [-] Song soldiers who could still stand upright, and most of them were scattered on the outermost periphery to escape the catastrophe.Most of the rest were shot into hedgehogs, and there was no sound at all. Although there were a few survivors, most of them were shot by arrows, and only fell to the ground and howled.

"Hiss..."

Seeing this situation, even though Xue Ji never regarded these Song soldiers as human beings, he couldn't help biting his teeth and gasping for breath.

As for the Song Jun behind Xue Ji, they were all terrified and trembling, as if they had been pierced by thousands of arrows.

It's no wonder that these Song troops are in such a state. The Song army's overall combat effectiveness is not strong. These so-called forbidden troops are even rookies among rookies. These soldiers and ruffians are already determined!

It took a while to regain consciousness, Xue Ji looked at the city for a while with a complex expression, and finally turned into a long sigh, "Retreat! Back to camp!"

Although Xue Ji is a civil servant, he is not completely a pighead in terms of military affairs. He knows that brute force is not the answer.

After the brigade returned to the camp, Xue Ji began to send people to communicate with the Yingzhou army at the head of the city, planning to carry the dead and wounded Song army back first.

On this point, Hangzhou City is very generous, and agreed very lightly.

But when these dead and injured Song soldiers were taken back to the camp, Xue Ji was dumbfounded. [

Not to mention the dead Song Jun, his appearance is so miserable that it makes people feel horrified.But the most troublesome ones were the injured Song soldiers. Three or four thousand wounded needed to be healed, and the medical officers and medicinal materials accompanying the Song army were obviously not enough.

What's even more frightening is that under the wailing of those wounded soldiers day and night, the morale of the Song army dropped again and again. Judging from that posture, it seemed that there was a possibility of collapse at any time!

"How can this be done? How can this be done?"

After returning from the wounded barracks, Xue Ji locked himself in the handsome tent, turning around like ants on a hot pot.

"Damn it! It's too bad!"

"This group of rebels who can't be killed! After I break the city, I will behead all of you rebels. No, it's a thousand cuts, no, it's a sky lantern!"

Although there were cruel words in his heart, in fact, Xue Ji really couldn't think of any idea that could break Hangzhou City for a while.

In the end, Xue Ji grabbed several handfuls of hair, and was about to find a place to support the central government's hairstyle. Xue Ji finally came up with a non-solution method, that is, called a meeting of generals to discuss countermeasures !

As Minister of the Ministry of War, in theory, all generals are Xue Ji's subordinates.

But in fact, Xue Ji looked down on none of the generals under his opponent.Because Xue Ji is a civil servant, and those generals, big and small, are basically warriors.

Because the military system of the Song Dynasty is very strange, the status of the warriors is extremely low, so basically there are no educated people serving as soldiers!

The main constituents of the most grassroots soldiers in the Song Dynasty are not civilians, but refugees!It's the kind of rough guy who has no family business, no worries, nothing.

The generals of the Song Dynasty were basically hereditary.The son of the captain will continue to be the captain, and the descendants of the general will continue to be the general. If you want to be promoted one step higher, it will be impossible.

Like Yue Fei, he was able to be promoted from a commoner to the commander of the three armies. In addition to his excellent skills, the more important thing is that he was born with good timing, and he also met noble people along the way, and was appreciated and promoted!This kind of situation is definitely rare!

It is precisely because of this that the army of Song Dynasty is quite lifeless, basically a pool of stagnant water.

The so-called good people don't serve as soldiers is probably handed down from the Song Dynasty.

Although the relationship with his subordinates is very cold, at this time, Xue Ji has no choice but to lower his body to discuss matters with these rough guys.In addition to Xue Jizhen's little intention to find a countermeasure, more of it is to pull those generals to back up!If the war is really disharmonious in the future, say that this group of big soldiers is not good at it!

After making up his mind, Xue Ji called all the commanders above the level of the army (500 people) to the commander's tent for a meeting. The superintendent did not let go.

Xue Ji's calculations are good, but although these big-headed generals are not educated, they are not stupid. When they know that their chief has something good to do, they will never think of him. It is probably not right to ask him to wait for someone now. What a good thing!

So, in the face of Xue Ji's inquiry, these big-headed generals all hung their heads and said nothing, what are they doing!

Seeing that the generals under his command were so uncooperative, Da Shangshu Xue was very angry. He took the throne and spat a lot of saliva on the top of the generals' heads.

Until Xue Ji spouted dry mouth, all the generals in the audience didn't fart loudly, Xue Ji even cheated his chest.

"I'm telling you, if you can't think of a way to break through Suzhou City today, tomorrow morning, all of you trash will lead the charge!"

With Xue Ji's harsh words, the generals below finally panicked.

There is no doubt that Xue Ji can definitely say that he can do something like letting generals like himself charge forward to die.

Who told Xue Shangshu to be a man of culture, and all of us generals are reckless!

And judging from today's battle, it is absolutely doubtful to lead the charge!

The safety of their lives was threatened, and these warriors finally panicked. One by one, they grabbed their hair and beards and began to think seriously.

Not to mention, these veterans have a lot of ghost ideas when they use their brains, but after a while, all kinds of messy ghost ideas pop up one after another. (to be continued...)
