At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 373 Most fierce battles

Kacha~
White light flashed, rumbles of thunder rolled past, and huge raindrops crashed down.

Within a moment, the water in the trench was up to his ankles.

"Withdraw, get out of the city."

"Alternate cover to prevent Tatar attacks."

"Watch your step, bring your gear, and be careful of slipping."

While shouting, Song soldiers filed away from their combat posts and evacuated along the trenches in an orderly manner.

The sky and the earth are vast, and telescopes are useless, but the trenches of the Song and Yuan Dynasties are intertwined, and some clues can always be found from those who are close.

"The Song army retreated due to the rain. Should we send troops to pursue it?" Yuwa Shi was eager to try.

An Tong looked at the heavy rain outside, shook his head and said: "The water curtain is in the sky, the guns cannot be used, and the sky thunder is not easy to ignite, but the Song Army's sky thunder can still be used. If they are chasing and killing, they will take advantage of them."

"It's just such a good time, it's a pity not to use it." Yuwashi said.

"Prime Minister, quickly send someone to observe the Taiye Pond and various waterways, lest the Song thieves pour water into the city!" He Wei said suddenly.

An Tong's expression changed and he immediately sent out soldiers to take a look.

There is no external irrigation, but signs of internal waterlogging have already appeared.

Within an hour, the water in the inner city was already up to the feet, the ground was puddled with water, and the trenches were filled with water.

The Song army blocked the drainage canals and sealed the city gates, so the rainwater could not be drained out, and it became like this.

An Tong looked up at the sky and saw that the heavy rain did not stop. He said: "If the rain continues, I'm afraid we will rob a city wall and blow it up to use as a drainage outlet."

"This is not difficult, I will lead someone to do it." Yuwashi said.

The outer city wall was so long that the Yuan army couldn't defend it, and the Song army couldn't defend it either. If they found a weak spot to attack, it would be easy to get under the wall and blast it.

In fact, Zhang Shijie did not plan to flood Dadu because there was a lack of external water and the amount of work was too large to be cost-effective.

Therefore, the Yuan army blew up five gaps, and Zhang Shijie did not pay much attention. He only asked all the troops to strictly guard the stronghold and not let a single Yuan soldier leave the city.

In such bad weather, Lu Ming led the baggage division into the camp.

"Commander Lu." Li Sanlang came up to meet him and asked, "How many artillery shells did you bring?"

"Ten thousand rounds, the weapons supervisor has tried his best." Lu Ming replied.

"There are quite a few." Li Sanlang looked happy and said: "If we fight them all, we can cover the inner city of the Tatars."

The reason for the stalemate was that there were insufficient artillery shells, otherwise the Song army would have rushed in long ago.

Of course, this does not mean that you cannot fight without mortars, but the casualties will be very heavy and it is not cost-effective.

"Now that everything is ready, let's launch a general attack!" Zhang Shijie made up his mind.

On the fifth day of May, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Song army returned to the city wall.

When the Yuan army saw it, they immediately went on alert.

"The trenches are still full of water. The Song thieves want to attack?" An Tong was a little doubtful.

"I'm afraid the bandits Song will use new cannons." He Wei frowned.

"When the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. All they can do is die." Yuwashu wiped his gun calmly.

Just outside the city wall, two hundred mortars were ready.

"Test fire, release!"

With an order, the gunner reloaded, and after a "boom", a roar passed through the sky, and the gunner exploded inside the inner city wall.

During the test firing, the Song army climbed over the city wall and moved quickly in a skirmish formation.

Boom boom~
The sound of explosions was continuous and could be clearly heard in the imperial city.

"Don't be afraid, father will protect you." Zhenjin gently nudged the baby in his arms.

But the sound of cannons was so loud that the baby was frightened and cried.

Next to her, Imperial Concubine An Zhen lost her way and said, "Your Majesty, state affairs are important. Give me the child."

"I have many elite soldiers and good generals, how can I be afraid of mere enemy forces?" Zhenjin smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let him see this prosperous world."

He Wei, who was about to come in to report the military situation, couldn't help but stop at the door when he heard this.All matters have been arranged, and the real gold really has no effect other than being a mascot to boost morale.

Zhenjin gave the child to An Zhenmi, and said: "Privy Envoy, the sun is shining brightly outside, come in and talk."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'll forgive you." He Wei rolled his wheelchair into the hall.

Don't blame him for being so determined, he was really treated well.

Not to mention the special wheelchair, the steps of the main hall were demolished and replaced with ramps, and he went to the threshold. With such great care, He Wei could not help but work hard.

"How is the Song army's offensive going?" Zhenjin asked.

"We are charging towards the city wall, I think we are going to break through the wall." He Wei replied.

"Let's go and take a look." Zhenjin stood up and pushed He Wei out.

The corners of He Wei's mouth moved, but he did not say the words of persuasion.

If you go to the front line and you may be bombed to death, but if you sit in the palace and wait for death, there is actually not much difference between morning and evening.

Just when Zhenjin pushed He Wei up the palace wall, he saw dust flying on a section of the outer wall.

The Song army succeeded in blasting and successfully blew open the city wall.

"Hold up~"

"kill~"

"Aim and hit hard."

The generals of the Yuan army kept shouting and shouting, but it was difficult to calm the panic of the soldiers.

Although there has not yet been a rout, the gunmen frequently made mistakes in loading and aimed and fired in a panic. On the other hand, the Song soldiers, under the cover of artillery, took aim leisurely, almost one shot at a time.

Not a moment later, there was another loud noise.

The second notch opens.

Nine times in a row, seven gaps were opened, and the Song army's artillery moved forward to cover the troops' charge into the city.

The Yuan army used the shelter of the houses to start street battles with the Song army.

The gunshots, explosions, and screams continued until dark. The Song Army did not stop and continued to attack.

On the third day, An Tong was shot dead. The morale of Yuan soldiers dropped sharply and they began to surrender one after another.

On the fourth day, the inner city was basically cleared.

On the sixth day, the Song army completed its rest and launched an attack on the palace.

There were still [-] defenders, all of whom were absolute supporters of Zhenjin and had a strong fighting spirit. After the city wall was blown open, they kept the Song army out for three consecutive days.

After another attack failed, Li Sanlang angrily shouted at the first regiment of the main attack: "With such a fight, how can we be worthy of the title of the First Division bestowed by His Majesty?

If you can't do it, I won't believe it if I personally bring people up. The Tatars inside are all made of iron. "

"Commander, calm down and don't violate military regulations!" The commander of the regiment was shocked.

"Afraid of being embarrassed!" Li Sanlang walked out of the headquarters with a gun and reached the No. [-] gap.

The Second Regiment was preparing to launch an attack and was frightened when they saw the division commander coming in person.

According to the military discipline of the country, regimental-level officers are not allowed to lead troops in a charge, and division-level officers are not allowed to visit the line of fire in person.

Not to mention violating military law, but if we really want to kill the division commander, how can the whole division still see each other?

"Okay, I'll just watch here. If you can't get in, my aunt will fight!" Li Sanlang gritted his teeth.

"Brothers, kill!"

Amidst the shouts, the second regiment launched a charge.

At this time, I can’t think of anything that will lead to success and fame, I just have to work hard!
Inside the palace wall, the Yuan soldiers launched a counterattack and instantly collided with the Song soldiers, starting a hand-to-hand fight.

"Three regiments, rush in, pay attention to the formation, and use more grenades!" Li Sanlang immediately joined the reserve team.

Yuwa lost no reserve team, and only brought his own bodyguards to fight.

There were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. Both sides fought to the death.
