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

Chapter 49 Chaos
Fengqiao Town is located between Zhuji and Kuaiji. Although it is called a town, it was once the seat of the county seat. The city defense is complete. The instigator arranged for Zhang Hongfan to lead five thousand troops to station in it.

In order to capture the entire territory of Shaoxing Prefecture and achieve the strategic goal of holding the Qiantang River for confrontation, Liu Shiyong ordered [-] soldiers and [-] civilians, claiming that the [-]-strong army set out from Shengxian County.

Because the Song army lacked horses, their movements were under the surveillance of the Yuan army's horse scouts. Liu Shiyong knew this, so he only maintained the formation and marched together, without giving the Yuan army's cavalry a chance to make a surprise attack.

After entering Kuaiji Mountain, Liu Shiyong sent out scouts to prevent the Yuan army from ambush, and set up military strongholds at strategic points to control the back roads for more than a hundred miles. They marched steadily for fifteen days without giving the Yuan army any chance. Chance.

Seeing the Song army arriving outside the city, Kublai Khan conferred the title of Batu (meaning warrior in Mongolian), the general of Zhenguo, the envoy of Jiangdong Road, and the garrison commander of Fengqiao Town Zhang Hongfan sighed: "We haven't seen him for several months, but Liu Shiyong changed it." It’s so big that you almost don’t know it!”

In the past, Liu Shiyong would have killed him first and would not have been so cautious at all.

It cannot be said that Liu Shiyong cannot fight, it can only be said that his style is different.

The husband fights with courage, the commander is the vanguard, and all the troops fight to the death, they can win the battle.

After arriving at the city, the Song army rested for a day and began to attack the city the next day.

The routines are the same, the archers shoot at each other, and the peasants fill the moat.

But unlike the force of the Yuan army, the civilians of the Song army did not seem to care about their own lives. Even those who were hit by arrows would struggle to crawl into the moat and fill the river with their own bodies.

Liu Shiyong sighed: "If Yuanlu behaves like this in Jiangnan, Wang Shi will definitely be disadvantageous."

Lin Jingxi said: "I'm afraid that the country will be ruined and we won't be able to make progress after regaining the south of the Yangtze River."

Liu Shiyong was silent.

The previous time, they instigated the capital to march into the army and carried out large-scale plundering in order to boost morale. Later, it developed into a massacre. The towns in Shengxian and Xinchang counties were emptied out. In the countryside, every family wore mourning and every family held funerals.

Therefore, Liu Shiyong easily recruited five thousand civilians, and they were all brave and unafraid of death.

Zhang Hongfan, who was supervising the battle at the top of the city, worried: "The Prime Minister has not returned, and the Yuan soldiers are unstoppable. We don't need three months, and all the people in Jiangnan will be lost!"

It was just that although he had the trust of Kublai Khan, he could not get into the eyes of the proud and powerful Mongolian soldiers, and no one listened to his words.

In fact, no one listened to what Dong Wenbing and Cui Bin said. It was Boyan and Ali Hague who restrained the Mongolian generals from moving.

During the filling of the river, the Yuan army came out of the city several times to attack, but Liu Shiyong put up a car formation to protect the army, and because he was afraid of thunder, the Yuan army did not attack.

In three days, the Song army paid two thousand casualties and filled in a passage of more than 50 feet.

On the fifth day, the main force of the Song Army was dispatched.

Zhang Hongfan knew that he was about to take action, so he turned around and walked down the city wall.

Based on the experience of various places, the Song army now has a routine for attacking the city. The archers come forward to harass, and the shield men protect the grenadiers from approaching for bombardment. When the defenders at the top of the city are defeated, they immediately build ladders to climb the city and seize the gate.

Liu Shiyong made a slight improvement and used a shielded torsion ballista to project sky thunder. Although the accuracy was a bit off, the effect was better.

After only one round of bombing, the Yuan army screamed for their fathers and fled with their heads in arms. The Song army successfully scaled the city wall, then opened the city gate, and the army swarmed in.

Liu Shiyong said proudly: "Your Majesty's magic, the country will be restored soon!"

"Invincible and unfavorable in all directions!" Lin Jingxi nodded in agreement.

If it weren't for the moat, the army would have been able to break the city the same day it arrived, so I asked who else.

All three thousand forwards entered the city. Before they had time to disperse, the houses on both sides of the street opened their doors and windows, and countless Yuan troops rushed out and crashed into the Song troops.

"Fight!" Roaring, Song Jun rushed forward.

It's a close-quarters fight, and it's a melee, and what matters is the quality of the individual soldiers.

Most of the Song army were new soldiers, while the Yuan army had many veterans. In addition, the Yuan army had better equipment, so the Song army immediately suffered a big loss.

Liu Shiyong was furious when he saw this and shouted: "The Chinese army will follow me into the city and we must annihilate all Yuanlu."

"Kill!" the whole army roared.

Liu Shiyong did not lose his mind and asked Lin Jingxi to go back and take charge of the camp to prevent the Yuan army from raiding.

Lin Jingxi had no ink stains and went back decisively.

The town has been reduced to a pot of porridge, and the Song and Yuan parties are so intertwined that they are inseparable.

"Du Tou, what should I do?" Grenadier Liu Langsheng asked.

Dutou Jiang Fangyi shouted: "All the thunder hands are concentrated, and anyone who has an impact will be blasted!"

Immediately, twenty thunder wielders gathered around, not one of them missing.Jiang Fangyi asked everyone to count the Tianlei again, and found that nothing was missing. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No matter what, Tianlei cannot allow any loss!"

"Wei." Everyone responded, and then they didn't know what to do.

In the melee between the two sides, the thunder bombardment must be half to half. Jiang Fangyi could not make this determination.

Seeing that the Song army did not launch a bombardment, Zhang Hongfan laughed and said: "In terms of hard fighting, how can the southern army be worth mentioning?"

Just looking at it, Zhang Hongfan couldn't laugh anymore.

A Song soldier had his arm cut off, but he rushed forward and bit the Yuan soldier's throat. He refused to let go no matter how hard the opponent struggled and was stabbed with Yuan soldiers' swords and spears.

Another Song soldier hugged the Yuan soldier's weapon, and when his colleagues on the left and right killed the Yuan soldier, he died with a smile on his face.

Too many Song troops were possessed, and the Yuan troops couldn't help but feel timid, so they fought half-heartedly.

"Those who ruin His Majesty's important affairs are those who instigate the capital!" Zhang Hongfan said bitterly.

Complaints are complaints, business matters should not be forgotten. Zhang Hongfan looked down at the overall situation. After finding the grenadiers, he shouted: "Zhang Hu, lead the bodyguards to attack, and we must take down the sky thunder!"

"Zhang Hu takes the order!" Guard Qiangu Zhang Hu took the order.

Soon, an army of 500 people was assembled, wearing iron armor on the upper body, leather armor on the inside from top to bottom, and iron helmets, holding long swords and heavy axes.

These are the private soldiers of the Zhang family. They are all brave and brave warriors. They are supported by generous food and salary. They always protect the left and right, and they overcome difficulties in battle. They are the standard equipment of the noble families of the North.

This army rushed out like fireflies in the snow, killing the Song soldiers and retreating steadily.

The equipment gap is too big, and courage can no longer make up for it.

The Song Army's spear pierced the iron armor and was deflected. The swordsman was hacked to death in the distance before he could step forward.

When Liu Shiyong entered the city and saw this scene, he immediately shouted: "Jiang Fangyi, thunder strikes!"

Jiang Fangyi was impatient and immediately stepped forward with a grenadier.

Boom~
The sky thunder exploded, Zhang family's personal guards fell to the ground, and the rest immediately scattered.

"Keep throwing!" Jiang Fangyi had just lit the fuse when an arrow flew and hit his cheek.

A group of crossbowmen appeared on the roof, shooting randomly at the thunder hand.

Jiang Fangyi used his last strength to throw Tianlei out, and then fell to the ground.

"Dutou~" The others screamed and rushed to Jiang Fangyi, only to see that he had no breath.

Li Jiu, the deputy head of the capital, shouted: "Bombard the house!"

Immediately, the grenadiers threw the sky thunder towards the roof. Although it rolled down a lot, it still blew the crossbowmen's shit.

At this time, the Song Army's crossbowmen reacted and fired at the Yuan soldiers' crossbowmen, quickly relieving the crisis.

Liu Shiyong pulled out the arrows stuck in his armor and shouted: "Array, array!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud rumble was heard, and the world shook.

"No, Yuanlu's horse army is attacking!" Liu Shiyong was shocked, but he could only count on Lin Jingxi to give good command.

Outside the city, a thousand horse troops galloped on both sides of the Song Army's camp. When they reached the vicinity, they turned their horses around and galloped along the trench, while arrows rained down like rain.

There were not many archers in the Song camp, and they were moving targets, so the counterattack had little effect.

After shooting for a while, the Yuan army's cavalry distanced themselves and rushed straight towards the camp.

The six-foot shallow trench jumped across, and the horse hit the wooden wall. The knight took advantage of the situation and jumped up. After landing, he rolled several times and slashed with his sword.

Lin Jingxi was stunned by such a brilliant operation. By the time he reacted, more than a dozen Yuan soldiers had already entered the camp.

"Sky thunder bombardment~" As soon as Lin Jingxi finished speaking, the grenadier had already thrown out sky thunder to seal the gap.

The horses continued to charge, but the knights couldn't stand it any longer, and they all hit their horses and fled.

Although the more than ten Yuan soldiers who rushed in were brave, they could only suffer under the siege of the Song soldiers.

In the city, Zhang Hongfan, who had tasted the powerful thunder from the sky, scattered his guards and resolutely carried out a chaotic battle.
