Da Song: The opening game killed Ximen Qing

“Continue to attack and take Gaotangzhou!” Hu Cheng did not reap the good results, but planned to continue to expand the victory.

Although Gaotang City is a state city, the city is strong.

However, in the eyes of the Liangshan rebels, there was no city that could not be breached.

Especially when the Song army had just suffered a major defeat and suffered heavy losses, it was impossible to withstand the attack of the Liangshan rebels.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Fifty guns of the artillery regiment kept firing, and one shell after another smashed towards the head of the city.

Solid shells bombarded the walls, leaving large holes in the head of the city. Many Song soldiers were hit by shells and smashed to death on the spot, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

“Phew! Shout! Shout! ”

The crossbowmen of the Liangshan rebels also approached the city wall and began to suppress the Song army on the city wall.

And the artillerymen, who had long been prepared, rushed to the walls of Gaotang City with a large amount of gunpowder.

More than two hundred pounds of gunpowder were piled up under the city gate.

“Boom!”

When a violent explosion sounded, the entire gate tower was blown up. The soldiers of the Song Army hiding on the city gate tower were directly buried in the rubble.

“Kill! Storm the city and kill the Song army! ”

Seeing this, he gave the order.

A large number of soldiers of the Liangshan rebel army entered Gaotang City from the collapsed city gate tower.

The soldiers of the Song Army in the city were already frightened. They originally thought that they would be able to hold on to the city for a while, and maybe they would be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived. But in the blink of an eye, the city had already been breached. A large number of Song Army soldiers have already been killed.

“Surrender! I give up! ”

“I don’t want to die, don’t kill me!”

At this moment, the remaining soldiers of the Song Army chose to surrender one after another. For them, this may already be the only way for them to save their lives.

A large number of Song soldiers surrendered, so much so that the Liangshan rebels took Gaotang City in a very short time. And the price paid is very small.

“Commander, the entire Gaotang City has been taken by us. The Song Army’s Baoxin Army and General Ling Army were completely annihilated by us. Chen Tongbing, the commander of the Baoxin army, was defeated and killed. Where are we going next? Mu Chun, deputy commander of the Sixth Army, asked.

“Let the brethren take a break, and early tomorrow morning, leave a regiment to guard Gaotang City. The rest of the troops, attacking eastward, cooperated with the rest of the troops, took Dezhou and Binzhou, and solved the Deqing army, Xin’an army, Zhenning army and Heng navy of the Song army. Shu Cheng ordered.

“Yes, Commander!” Mu Chun nodded.

After capturing Gaotang Prefecture and solving the Baoxin Army and the General Ling Army, the Sixth Army already had a huge advantage on the battlefield.

The remaining two forbidden armies and two box armies of the Song army, although there were still more than 28,000 people.

However, with low combat effectiveness and low morale, it was no longer possible for them to withstand the attack of the Liangshan rebels.

Over the next half month, the Sixth Army of the Liangshan Rebels moved to Dezhou and Binzhou, and together with other units of the Sixth Army, captured Dezhou and Binzhou.

The Song army’s Deqing Army, Xin’an Army, Zhenning Army, and Heng Navy were all defeated by the Liangshan Rebel Infantry Sixth Army.

Most of these Song troops surrendered to the Liangshan rebels, and a few were killed.

In the case that they could not defeat the Liangshan rebels, the officers and soldiers of these Song army units would naturally focus on saving their own lives.

After leaving an infantry regiment each in Gaotang, Dezhou, and Binzhou to garrison, and attacking the surrounding counties, Hucheng led the main force of the Sixth Army and attacked westward. He planned to cooperate with the Eighth Army and eliminate the rest of the Song army. Then an attack was launched on the daimyofu, the seat of Luzhi on the east road of Jizhou.

The daimyofu was an important city and defense town of the Great Song Dynasty in the north.

Not only is there a large population, but commerce is also prosperous. In addition, the Song army stored a large amount of combat materials here. Such as grain, armor, arrows, knives and guns, war horses and so on. The scale of the artisan supervisors here is also very large, and there are thousands of craftsmen working here.

If the Liangshan rebels can capture the daimyofu, this will undoubtedly further strengthen the strength of the Liangshan rebels. It is of great benefit to the Liangshan rebels to launch an attack on the entire Jizhou East Road and even the West Jizhou Road West.

The battle between the Eighth Army of the Liangshan Rebel Army and the Song Army was at a critical moment.

The three forbidden armies of the Song Army, the Guangxin Army, the Shun’an Army and the Tianwei Army, as well as the three armies of the Dingwu Army, the Qingyuan Army, and the Anguo Army, amounted to more than 40,000 people. Compared with the Eighth Army of the Liangshan Rebels, there were more than 10,000 people.

However, in the battle, after several hard-hitting collisions, the Eighth Army of the Song Army had gradually gained the advantage.

And the Sixth Army of the Liangshan Rebel Army entered the battlefield at this time, which gave the Song army a fatal blow.

More than 20,000 Liangshan rebels entered the battlefield, directly giving the Liangshan rebels an absolute advantage in strength. One by one, the phalanx of infantry easily crushed the infantry of the Song army.

There was even a cavalry battle between the two sides.

The two cavalry regiments of the Liangshan rebels engaged in a head-on confrontation with more than 3,000 Song cavalry.

Although the cavalry of the Song army was very strong in battle, it was still unable to resist the Liangshan cavalry and was defeated.

By early May 1114, the Liangshan Rebel Sixth and Eighth Armies had won a decisive victory on the Northern Front. More than 80,000 Song troops, except for a very small number who fled into the daimyo mansion, the rest have been wiped out by them. Most of these Song soldiers surrendered to the Liangshan rebels. Not many people were actually killed on the battlefield.

As an important city in the East Road of Jizhou in the Great Song Dynasty, the city defense was naturally very strong.

However, there is not enough army to defend, and even the strongest city is a decoration!

Especially when the Liangshan rebels still had a sharp weapon to attack the city, the remnants of the Song army wanted to hold the daimyofu, which was even more delusional.

On May 6, two armies of the Liangshan rebel army, the daimyofu, launched a fierce attack.

Especially after using a large amount of explosives, it directly blew up the wall of the daimyofu for a while, which made the Song army in the city completely terrified.

Without the protection of the city wall, the strength and combat effectiveness are far from the opponents of the Liangshan rebels. How could they possibly withstand the attack of the Liangshan rebels?

In a very short time, the Liangshan rebels took the entire daimyofu.

And the officials of the Great Song Dynasty on the eastern road of Jizhou, such as the transfer envoys, the punishment envoys and the pacification envoys, fled at the first time.
