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

Chapter 99 Mid-Autumn Festival Battle
On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire army stood in awe at Zhuji Camp.

Liu Shiyong looked around and shouted: "Everyone, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the official sent an edict to express comfort."

"I respectfully listen to the edict." The whole army shouted.

Liu Shiyong opened the imperial edict and read: "Emperor Zhao of the Song Dynasty is an edict to comfort the soldiers.

Zhi said: "Everyone in Geer, please listen to my words. This boy from Taiwan is recklessly engaging in war!"The Yuan captives committed many crimes and were destined to be killed.

Now there is a crowd, and you say: 'My emperor has no sympathy for our crowd, and starts a war at the expense of my little family? 'I just heard what you said, the Yuan Dynasty invaders invaded, and I kept in mind the destiny of heaven and dare not not fight.

If you are willing to assist me alone, you will be punished by heaven. If you succeed, you will be given fame and wealth. Unfortunately, your wife will be raised by me. When she returns home in victory, I will prepare wine to welcome her in the suburbs!You believe everything and I will never break my promise. "

"Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" All the troops shouted in unison.

Everyone can understand the simple and clear imperial edict, which boosts morale.

Liu Shiyong shouted: "If you want to drink, first break Zhuji and attack the city!"

"Siege!"

With shouts and shouts, the whole army came out of the camp.

Liu Shiyong led the Chinese army to the outside of Beicheng, only to see the Yuan army behind the fortifications waiting in formation.

Five rows of goose carts moved forward slowly, and when they reached seventy steps, arrows rained down like rain, but Song Jun hid under the carts, unscathed.

After another twenty steps, more than ten black spots appeared in the sky.

The boulder fell to the ground quickly, without any hits.

It was raining for half a month, and the Song army was not idle. They built many goose carts and directly wanted to build a safe passage.

The Yuan army didn't just sit around and wait to get moldy. They made more than a dozen trebuchets and bombarded the Song army.

Seeing that the goose cart had entered thirty steps, there was only a bang, and one of the goose carts was shattered into pieces. The eight soldiers under the cart were either smashed into mincemeat by boulders, or shot into hedgehogs by broken wood. They all fell dead on the spot.

The car in front of the line stops, waits for the car behind to pick up, and continues moving forward.

Boom~
Another goose car hit, same as before.

Soon, the vehicle formation stopped in front of the trench, and the rear began to pass the earth bags. The soldiers in the front pushed away the wooden boards and threw the earth bags underneath.

Behind the earthen wall, the Yuan army stretched out their heads to fire arrows, but they were all blocked by wooden boards and had no effect.

"Use kerosene!" General Yuan ordered, and soldiers immediately turned to the rear to get kerosene.

Before the kerosene arrived, the ballista had already been pushed up.

The Yuan army immediately fired arrows again, and the Song army's crossbowmen counterattacked, with both sides firing wildly.

Jiang Shalu, who was wearing heavy armor, shouted: "Listen to my orders!"

All the thunder hands in the sky immediately cheered up.

"Target, between one and two earth walls, in the sky, light the fire, three, two, one, release~"

Shhhhhhhhhhhh
Ten crossbow arrows shot out, with faint green smoke floating behind them, flying between the earth walls and exploding with a bang.

The fire flickered, fragments flew, and the Yuan army was littered with casualties. Those who managed to escape immediately turned around and ran back.

"Straight thieves!" Timur hit the city bricks hard and said bitterly: "The southern thieves are so ferocious, how can we resist them?"

Saliman said: "We can't defend the outside of the city. Let's take it back."

"Hateful!" Timur felt aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do about it.

If two hundred steps are cleared in one round, the remaining ones will be frightened. How can they hold on?

After hearing the order from the city, the Yuan army stationed outside the city immediately ran back for fear of being a step too late.

The soldiers withdrew, but the catapults on the city wall did not stop, either bombarding the goose cart with boulders, or killing the ballista with gravel.

After a day, the Song army filled the first trench, opened five passages, and dug the first earth wall.

Although the progress was rapid, it also cost more than [-] casualties. Eleven goose carts and three crossbow carts were destroyed by trebuchets.

Seeing the sun slanting to the west, the lieutenant general Shao Yuan asked: "General Manager, do you want to withdraw the troops and return to the camp?"

Liu Shiyong replied: "The progress is rapid. We cannot give the Tartars a chance to breathe. Send an order. The rear battalion will take over from the middle army. The two battalions on the left and right will take over from the front battalion and continue to attack the city."

On the east and west sides, Zhu Huan and Wen Gang received orders at the same time and arranged for the orderly replacement of the armies.

They were applying pressure and did not launch an attack. They just wanted to guard against the attack of the Yuan army and cavalry, but it was not easy in reality.

In the north of the city, the armies were replaced, lit torches and continued to advance.

"Are you going out of the city to cause trouble?" Timur murmured to himself.

Saliman shook his head and said: "Liu Manzi is very guarded and might not be able to catch him, so it is better to recharge his batteries for street fighting."

"Not necessarily." Timur shook his head.He also saw what Sa Liman said, and just waited for the Song army to kill the city, and Zhuji might not be able to hold on for a few days.

A fierce battle was going on in Zhuji City, but Fengqiao Town was as peaceful as ever.

Under calm, undercurrents surged.

In the military camp, a group of gang leaders came over carrying food. The leader shouted: "It's time to eat~ General's grace, add rice and vegetables!"

Hu Feng crossed his arms and walked unsteadily. All the soldiers in front moved out of the way.

He has been here for more than twenty days, and by virtue of his height and strength, he has become the dominant figure in the camp, and even the commander of a thousand soldiers has to give him a bit of a thumbs up.

When we got closer, we saw thick multi-grain porridge, vegetables and tofu, and the usual pickles.

The gang leader was also very knowledgeable and immediately scooped up the food and handed it over.

Hu Feng looked around and suddenly smashed the basin into the man's face, then grabbed him by the collar and shouted: "Sister-in-law, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, even the farmer has a piece of cake to eat, but you don't give me a meal." Yes, tell me, are you greedy while I wait for the food?"

"Hundred households, hundreds of households, please calm down." The man shouted: "The people above only gave me a little food. If you don't believe me, just ask. If a villain steals a grain of rice, he will pay for it with his head."

"Straight bitch, a hundred households of shit!" Hu Feng threw down the gang leader, kicked over the rice bucket, and turned around and shouted: "Brothers, smell the aroma of this wine and meat!"

Today, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Temur and Fan Wenhu hosted a banquet for the Mongolian headquarters and the captains of thousands of households and above. The Han army in the north gave them three catties of rice, one catty of meat, and half a catty of wine. The newly attached troops added rice and vegetables, and that was it.

"I abandoned my family and my sons to come here, but the Tartar dogs don't regard us as human beings. In the past, they just deducted food and salary. Today, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can't even bear to do anything. How can such a court be worth our lives..."

"Hu Manzi, what are you talking about? Do you want to enforce military law?"

While Hu Feng was agitating, the short but capable deputy captain Yuan Dazhong came over.

In the past, Yuan Dazhong would have taken Hu Feng without saying a word, but today he was angry and didn't want to take him.

When others eat wine, he eats wind. Are you angry?

"Second brother!" Hu Feng shouted: "Do the Tartar dogs treat us as human beings? Their official name is Qian Hu, but you are called Qian Captain. Why can't you fight? You look down on us."

Today the Tartars have enough wine and meat, and the northerners also have wine and meat, but it is us southerners who should starve. "

Hu Feng kicked over the vegetable bucket again. The vegetable soup flowed away, leaving only a thin layer of vegetables.

"Look, one mouthful among many brothers is not enough, but they think that their kindness is infinite, and they insist on us working hard..."

"Sell his mother!" Yang Liu shouted: "Brother Yuan, you are also a well-known hero, but you have no ability, but you have to sink under the villain and suffer such humiliation.

We are all working hard, Tartar dogs don't know people, and my second brother takes us to the south, and we can always win a title and become a general. "

"Second brother, rebel!"

"Kill the Tartar dogs, eat meat, drink wine and surrender to the court!"

"Second brother takes the lead, who can resist? We are rebelling!"

The crowd was so excited that Yuan Dazhong was asked to lead the mutiny.

He was originally from a wealthy family in Ezhou. He had little training in martial arts and was extremely brave. He later joined Zhang Shijie and accumulated meritorious service to the point of taking control. Zhang Shijie had always favored the Huaixi soldiers, so it was extremely rare to be able to achieve control under him.

It was because of unfair rewards and punishments that Yuan Dazhong voted after Jiaoshan's defeat, but he didn't want the treatment here to be worse.

Not to mention being demoted, he is still a third-class person, and any Mongolian man can yell at him.

Just surrendering and then revolting... does not conform to Yuan Dazhong's principles of life.

Seeing his hesitation, Hu Feng pushed Yuan Dazhong and shouted: "Let's go, follow my second brother to get the weapons."

"Let's go..." Everyone pushed Yuan Dazhong forward.

In order to prepare for war, the weapons at this time were collected and managed by each battalion, so the soldiers in charge did not dare to stop them.

With weapons in hand, courage becomes strong.

Hu Feng shouted: "If you want to surrender to the south, how can you not bring a certificate of surrender? My second brother is the one who makes the decision and takes us to kill Temur. Even if we don't fight, we will do it."

Yuan Dazhong glanced at the sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "Go to each camp first, gather the troops and kill them!"

Taking weapons privately without orders will be punished as treason.

Fan Cheng, the captain of the camp, was born as a slave of Fan Wenhu's family. He is greedy and mean by nature, and he can't stand Yuan Dazhong. Things will definitely not go well today.

"Second brother is mighty~" everyone shouted and followed Yuan Dazhong to the nearby camp.

The new auxiliary troops are all third-class people, and they all have grievances. They are usually afraid of the Yuan army's military law and dare not take action. Now that they have the leader, what else can they say?

Thanks to "Wan Jianxin" and "Silent River" for their rewards.
