The struggle of the reborn prince

The Guards Battalion concentrated the elites of the Zhongyong Army, but after the outbreak of the war, most of them just stood behind as a reserve team to cheer, and the only time they went into battle was to block the Chage Brigade at the Zhuolun River, and they didn't win a big battle.There is no pop-up window on the net and the update is fast. Although everyone has said it well, you are the treasure of the town house in our army, the last trump card in the hands of the prince, but watching them fight lively in the front, the stars on the military flag are going up one by one Filling, everyone is unhappy, and it is inevitable that there will be criticisms on the lips.

These words reached Xin Zhao's ears, as if the Guards Battalion he led was just a vase next to the prince, and it became a useless decoration on the head of a silver wax gun. Letting go of this opportunity to show her combat power, blocked the mouth of Youyou, so she kept pushing, trying her best to make this happen.After Zhe Meiluan learned of Xin Zhao's true identity, she felt even more in danger, and she didn't want the prince to underestimate her. This was related to her future status in his heart, so she didn't want to let it go.

Although the two had different purposes, they finally helped Zhao Tun.The upper and lower members of the guard camp heard that the prince was going to use their trump card, and they were also eager to try, ready to try their skills.However, Zhao Tun thought about the long-term. In addition to preventing Wei Ming Anhui from jumping over the wall and burning food and grass, there was also a huge hidden worry buried in his heart. The reason why he chose to launch the siege campaign at noon was to take advantage of the Xingzhou Xia army's unresponsiveness. At night, when reinforcements cannot cross the river, the time difference is to cook raw rice into cooked rice. Even if reinforcements arrive at that time, Xia Jun will stick to the city, no matter how many people come, it will be useless.

Now the reinforcement troops are all on top except for the Hedong Army defending Dongguan Town, and they have no mobile troops in their hands.Once Lingzhou City cannot be attacked for a long time.Xixia sent reinforcements after dawn, and he would face the situation of being attacked from both sides. At that time, he had to abandon Lingzhou City, which was about to be acquired, and turn to deal with the reinforcements of Xia Army.Now the only option is to quickly capture the inner city and capture or kill the boss named An Hui.In order to disintegrate the Xia army in the city, destroy their confidence in resistance, and control the whole city.

In addition, the Guards Battalion is his own basic force, and the proportion of those who are appointed is also the highest. That is to say, there are many officers and few soldiers. Rebuild an army as a base.No more starting from scratch.And if an army does not experience war for a long time, it will inevitably degenerate, just like those imperial troops in the early Song Dynasty, they were all powerful at first.Later, guarding the capital and enjoying peace, they all became useless and became a laughing stock in history.

Zhao Ren thought about what the prince said was reasonable, but had no choice but to agree.He followed Zhao Xin's suggestion and strengthened them with a cannon battalion and his personal guards. Thinking about adding several battalions of foreign archers guarding the central army, the strength of the army was comparable to that of the Xia army guarding the inner city. It was almost there, and he went to command the generals to rescue the Shaanxi Army with peace of mind.Surround and annihilate the remaining enemies in the city. . .

Zhao Tang approached the inner city to inspect, and saw that all the trees within [-] paces outside the inner city had been cut down.Houses and bridges were demolished, clearing the world.You can see the cornices of the palaces in the city and the spires of the pagodas.Although the city wall is much shorter than the outer city, there are many defensive measures. In order to prevent the Song army from setting fire, the city was not only covered with wet felt but also painted with mud.There is not only a moat outside the city, but also a trench dug. It seems Wei Ming An Hui had a hunch that the outer city would not be able to defend, so he also worked hard on the inner city.

Look at the sheds on the city wall, the fences on the female walls, the watchtowers in the city, and the lanterns of various colors.A pine torch is inserted every ten steps on the city wall, and a lantern is tied to the belly of the wall to illuminate the upper and lower parts of the city.One step up the city, one armored soldier, five more men in ten steps, five leaders in five steps, ten leaders in ten steps, generals in a hundred steps, and soldiers all over the city. At this time, the Song army was forced to the bottom of the city, and the peasants were still strengthening the city wall. , Carrying the defense equipment.The circumference of the inner city is only more than a thousand paces. Thinking about it, Xixia was not rich at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the capital here was not long, and there was no major construction work. It only repaired and expanded the government offices of the previous dynasties, which seemed a bit petty.

Zhao Tong turned around and quickly formulated a battle plan. He chose the west city as the main attack direction, because it was close to Linyuan, the terrain was flat, and the place was large enough. There were no residential houses around, and the city was close to the warehouse, which was easy to control.The city wall is the old city left when Lingzhou City was built. Although it has been repaired, it is much weaker than other places after thousands of years of wind and rain.In this tiny place, and it is heavily defended, sneak attack is almost impossible, the only way is to attack by force.While arranging the battle plan, Zhao Tong arranged for people to cut down trees, collect door panels and big logs to make simple pontoon bridges, long ladders and other siege equipment.

At Haishi, all arrangements were completed, and all ministries entered the attacking position.The beginning of the attack still kicked off with the most characteristic artillery attack of the Zhongyong Army. At the same time, the shooters selected by the army quickly extinguished the lights hanging on the top and inside of the city.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three field service squadrons of the Guards Battalion, who were the main attackers, went out to the side of the ditch, and then immediately shot at the city head to suppress the enemy's counterattack. While in shock, the follow-up operation team and fire support team lost no time in approaching the moat.

At this time, the firepower was tight again, the artillery fired a shot in a short period of time, the machine gun team serving as close-range fire support also fired violently, and the various ministries also concentrated their firepower to shoot at the top of the city, and the commando team released smoke to cover the enemy's attack. Sight, taking advantage of the enemy's stunned opportunity, the operation team erected the pontoon bridge as quickly as possible, and the commando immediately carried the siege equipment across the river and rushed to the city to clear the Lujiao wooden fence.

"Stop shelling, cover with machine guns!" Seeing a red flare rising from the city, Zhao Tun ordered urgently. The flare was a signal for the commandos to be in position, and it also marked their position. The artillery immediately stopped shelling, machine guns Then quickly shifted the shooting direction to leave room for the commando to operate.

"Build the ladder, go to the city!" Lin Shuo, the captain of the No. [-] Guard Squadron, leaned against the wall and erected a long ladder when the artillery fire stopped. Zhang Wu, about the same height as the wall of Xiangyi Palace, is nothing to these guards, and those who can't wait have already set up a ladder to go to the city.Lin Shuo held a gun in one hand and a knife in the other. He didn't need to hold on to the ladder at all, and went up to the top of the city first in three steps.

Most of the defensive facilities on the city have been destroyed by artillery fire, but there are also unavoidable shooting dead ends. The remaining soldiers of the Xia army just woke up and found that the Song army had already entered the city, but before they could grab their weapons, the knives had already been cut. to the neck. . .What is well-trained, just look at them. The guards battalion soldiers who used various methods to go to the city did not need to wait for orders, and immediately formed a combat group, forming a strong combat group that protected each other.

Strict and cruel training can turn a combat team into a crazy and powerful killing weapon.They don't have to worry about their backs at all, they only need to kill the enemies that stand in front of them or even appear in their sight, because enough training and long-term running-in have made them form a subconscious tacit understanding, one look, A simple action can understand each other's meaning.

The commando quickly consolidated the breakthrough and established a support position. After the support troops went to the city, they immediately joined the battle and repelled the counterattacking Xia army.Instead of attacking the heavily fortified city gate, they blew up a section of the city wall with dozens of large explosive packs.Before the smoke cleared, the other two squadrons of the Guards Battalion lying outside the city had rushed into the city. Under the command of Li Quan, the second squadron set up a blocking line to block the rushing Xia army. Under the leadership, they attacked the warehouses located in the corner of the city. . .

As the commanders of the Fan army entered the battle, the breach became bigger and bigger, and the battle shifted from the battle for the city wall to the battle on the ground.Zhao Tuan entered the inner city under the escort of the inner guard squadron. At this time, the troops entering the city had established a blocking line with a width of [-] paces and a length of [-] paces against the city wall, blocking the swarming counterattack troops of the Xia army. The two armies temporarily fell into a confrontation.The battle for the granary was also in full swing. He ordered Zhao Ren's personal guards and a command of Tibetan archers to join the battle, occupy the warehouse as soon as possible, put out the remaining fire, and save everyone's jobs first.

"Second Master, now the west city is basically under our control, just a burst of artillery bombardment can occupy the entire inner city!" Xin Zhao said.

"It's a pity that these palaces are destroyed!" Zhao Tun looked at the tall and magnificent palaces in front of him and said, "It's always easy to destroy and difficult to build. These are all money!"

"Second Master, if we want to fight house by house, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties, and I'm afraid the palace will not be preserved!" Xin Zhao knew that the prince's money obsession had happened again, and he felt a little bit reluctant.

"Well, this is really a problem. Why didn't that bastard named Anhui surrender?" Zhao Tong said while rubbing his chin.

"Second Lord, haven't you heard of Wen Chen's death festival? This old bastard has read too many books, so how could he not know this? He wants to complete his reputation and carry it to the end!" Xin Zhao said.

"That's right, he is a nerd, of course he also knows some principles of sacrificing one's life for the people, so you can talk to him!" Zhao Tang is not in a hurry at this time, the inner city has been opened, food and grass have been obtained, and there is still some time before dawn. Time, if he can be named Anhui, not only can he keep the palace, but also reduce casualties. If he is stubborn, he can just push the cannon to kill him.

"Stop shooting, shout out!" Zhao Tun thought for a while, this business won't lose money, so he ordered, "Tell Wei Ming Anhui, now Lingzhou City has been completely captured by our army, if he doesn't surrender again, I will slaughter all of them." City soldiers and civilians..."
