Da Song: The opening game killed Ximen Qing

On October 8, 1113, Tong Guan’s conquest of the Liangshan rebels failed, and he led the remnants of tens of thousands of troops to shrink in the county town of Jiyin, in an attempt to resist stubbornly. At the same time, he hurriedly requested reinforcements from the imperial court.

And Song Huizong was angry because of Tong Guan’s defeat.

However, it was decided to send reinforcements. Emperor Huizong of Song was also unwilling to watch the failure of this conquest, allowing the Liangshan rebel army to continue to develop and grow.

Therefore, Gao Lian was sent to lead a 125,000 forbidden army from Bianjing to rescue Tong Guan.

It’s just that whether Tong Guan can hold out until reinforcements arrive, that’s still very difficult to say.

October 9, under the city of Jiyin.

Wu Song, the commander of Liangshan, gave the order to attack the city.

Two hundred cannons from the four artillery regiments of the Liangshan rebels began to fire fiercely at the county town of Jiyin.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

With a deafening roar, solid shells roared and smashed into the city wall of Jiyin County.

“Boom! Boom! ”

Under the action of huge kinetic energy, the shells hit the city wall fiercely, leaving large pits one after another.

Stone chips flew everywhere, and the entire city was covered with flying sand and stones.

“Ugh!”

Screams rang out, and some shells directly hit the Song soldiers hiding on the city wall.

The huge power directly smashed these Song Army soldiers to pieces, and their deaths were miserable.

“This… What the hell is this? These Liangshan thief army, will they all be able to do it? Tong Guan was not lightly frightened.

Yuwen Changling picked up a shell.

“Adult, this thing is made of iron, I’m afraid it has two or three catties!” The Liangshan thief army must have used some method to throw these iron balls up. But how exactly did they do it? Yuwen Changling was a little confused.

It’s just that now is not the time to think about it.

In the face of the fierce shelling of the Liangshan rebels, the Song troops on the Jiyin city wall suffered heavy casualties.

Even worse, the morale of the troops was hit hard.

Originally, they were demoralized because of yesterday’s fiasco. Even if Tong Guan declared, the imperial court would immediately send reinforcements to rescue them. But it also made the soldiers suspicious.

It was hard to regain some morale, but under the heavy shelling of the Liangshan rebels, it all dissipated again.

“The infantry is ready, push forward, and the crossbowmen suppress the Song army at the head of the city!” Wu Song ordered.

“Yes, Grand Commander!”

The phalanx of infantry, which received the order, began to advance towards the county seat of Jiyin one after another.

And the approach of the infantry of the Liangshan rebels made the Song army in the city like a great enemy.

“Give Lao Tzu the city wall and prepare for battle!”

“If those Liangshan thief armies invade, everyone will die!”

The generals and officers of the Song army began to urge the soldiers to take up arms and return to the city wall to fight.

These soldiers, like cattle, were driven back to the walls.

“Drop the arrow!”

The infantry of the Liangshan rebels began to cover the city with crossbow arrows, shooting those Song soldiers.

“Phew! Shout! Shout! ”

Arrows like raindrops hit the city.

A large area of Song Army soldiers fell to the ground with an arrow.

After a while, the head of the city was already full of corpses of Song soldiers.

Even there were quite a few Song soldiers who returned fire with bows and crossbows. But their bows and arrows were far from reaching the crossbowmen of the Liangshan rebels. Although the divine arm crossbow is reachable, the rate of fire is too slow, and the accuracy of the crossbowmen of the Song army is also a problem. It was simply impossible to inflict too much damage on the crossbowmen of the Liangshan rebels. On the contrary, it makes its own losses more and more.

It can be said that this battle has just begun, which caused the Song army to suffer heavy losses, casualties began to soar, and the morale of the troops fell directly to the bottom.

If it goes on like this, I’m afraid that the Song Army won’t be able to hold out for much time at all.

They also want to hold out until reinforcements arrive, which seems like a joke no matter how you look at it!

“Sir, the offensive of the Liangshan thief army is very fierce. Although they did not directly launch siege operations. But he kept throwing iron balls into the city, causing great casualties to our soldiers. At the same time, arrows are constantly being fired into the city. Their divine arm crossbows are so many that our crossbowmen were almost completely suppressed in the battle, and the losses of the troops were very large! Yuwen Changling said.

At this moment, his heart seemed to be dripping blood.

Because the Divine Guard Army has already suffered heavy losses, there are only more than 10,000 people left.

Therefore, those guarding the four walls of Jiyin County were all troops of the Dragon Guard Army.

Watching his troops being crippled one after another and suffering heavy losses, Yuwen Changling was tormented in his heart!

More importantly, seeing them in a very disadvantaged position. Once the county town of Jiyin is attacked by the Liangshan rebels, they will die!

“In any case, it is also necessary to resist the attack of the Liangshan bandit army. Otherwise, we’re done. The imperial court will definitely not see death and not save it. Will definitely send reinforcements to rescue us. Perhaps, the reinforcements of the imperial court have already set off. As long as we can resist the attack of the Liangshan bandit army. Be able to last two to three days. Reinforcements will surely arrive. When the time comes, we will be saved! Tong Guan said.

“Yes, my lord!” Yuwen Changling nodded.

He knows this too.

But the problem was that he couldn’t be sure if his troops would last that long!

If the troops are all exhausted and still cannot hold out until reinforcements arrive, then will they not be dead?

In fact, Tong Guan himself did not know whether reinforcements could arrive in time.

However, he can only use this to comfort himself and stabilize the army’s heart.

If the army is confused, then everything is over.

Compared with Dingtao County, although Jiyin City is also a small county seat, it is the seat of Xingren Prefecture.

The city wall is higher in height and stronger than in Dingtao County.

This is also the reason why Tong Guan and others think that they can hold out until reinforcements arrive.

However, soon they knew. In Wu Song’s eyes, these walls were simply like paper paste. If you want to break it, it is not very difficult.

The two-hour battle made the crossbowmen of the Liangshan rebels tired.

Although they shot a lot of enemies, many crossbowmen did not have the strength to continue shooting arrows.

Even if the pulley is installed on the crossbow of the god arm to save effort, pulling the bowstring is originally a physical work.

“Grand Commander, is it possible to storm the city?” Lu Zhishen looked impatient.

“There is no need for soldiers to possess the siege. Just tear down the city wall. Wu Songyun said lightly.

“Tear down the walls? Grand Commander, are you joking? Lu Zhishen was stunned.

“Haha! It’s a joke or not, you saw it right away. Wu Song couldn’t help but laugh.
