A ray of light appeared in the sky. The soldiers in Dulun Village Wangtuan Tower yawned, rubbed their eyes, and looked out. At first glance, they saw densely packed outside the city as if they were figures. They suddenly hit a clever and rubbed their eyes hard to see clearly the situation outside the city. They saw that there were countless Song troops outside the city, and they couldn't see clearly. Only a "Song" flag fluttered in the morning wind.

He hurriedly woke up the soldiers around him and pointed at the outside of the city and said, "Look outside, is the Song army going to attack the city!"

Several soldiers got up and saw the situation outside the city clearly with the light. They were so scared that they were scattered. The little leader hurried down to the city and went to report to the village leader.

Liu Sheng has been feeling restless these days, so he got up early and was about to wash up. The little leader guarding the city rushed in and said, "The master of the village is not good! I don't know how many Song troops have come outside the city, it seems to be attacking our city!"

When Liu Sheng heard this, he was so scared that his only sleepiness disappeared. He hurriedly asked, "You can see clearly!"

The little leader said: "The little one is very accurate! If there is any falsehood, the village leader will be engaged in military law!"

Liu Sheng did not dare to be negligent. He was about to order the generals in the village to go to the village hall to discuss matters, but he heard the sound of "boom, boom" from outside.

"The earthquake?" Liu Sheng was confused and looked at the little leader. "I heard that the sound came from outside the city. What's the movement?"

The little leader was about to cry: "Master, I guess it's the Song army using gunfire to bombard the city gate!"

Liu Sheng was so scared that he was shocked and shouted: "I'll go and see it quickly!"

With the little leader, Liu Sheng arrived under the north wall and heard two more rounds of cannons, and cracks had appeared in the village gate.

"What are you doing while standing? Quickly block the village gate!" Liu Sheng shouted, and ran up the lookout tower quickly.

The village usually prepares some materials to strengthen the village gate, which are nothing more than big wood. After Liu Sheng's instructions, the soldiers guarding the village gate were in a hurry and carried the big wood and rushed to the back of the village gate.

Liu Sheng arrived at the tower, looked outside, and took a breath of cold air. It was just dawning at this time, and it was not clear in the morning light. He only saw several Song army formations outside blocking the north side of the city. At this moment, he saw light in several places, followed by the sound of cannons and smoke from gunfire rose.

I don’t know how many cannons were fired and hit the village gate. Liu Sheng felt that the entire city wall was shaking.

When the incident happened suddenly, Liu Sheng felt that his eyes were black and he was a little unsteady. He held the village wall and forced himself to wake up. Liu Sheng hurriedly followed the village wall and looked around. Fortunately, the Song army only surrounded the north and there were only a few cavalry outside the south gate, leaving a way for the party and Xiang soldiers in the village. I don’t know if it was because of the lack of troops or deliberately leaving the south gate to hunt down the defeated soldiers.

At this time, the village was in chaos, and many people ran around and shouted, as if the city had been broken. Liu Sheng did not dare to neglect, so he ordered the generals who were guarding the city to return to the village hall and recruit the generals to discuss matters.

Outside the city, Zhang Ke looked at it in the blink of an eye and there were countless cannons hitting the village gate and the nearby village walls, and praised: "The current cannons are indeed not comparable to those before! There are also newly built cannons to defend the city on Linfu Road, but they are not so neat and so accurate! If you don't see it with your own eyes, who will believe it!"

Yao Shouxin said: "I use twenty-five cannons, each five cannons, divided into five groups, alternate rounds. Now that I have fired three rounds, the village gate is shaking. I estimate that if you shoot at most five rounds, the village gate will be broken. The general is ready. After the village gate is broken, the fifteen cannons in front of the formation will be made into three groups, and each group will shoot one shot directly. After this round of cannons is fired, the general will quickly bring the infantry into the city. The twenty-five cannons in front are cooled with water. After you lead the troops into the camp, you will shoot the village wall. Instruct the soldiers not to let me know, and you must not go to the village wall!"

Zhang Ke nodded and agreed and said excitedly: "I don't expect that we have already lined up, and there is no news in the village. What I thought before is useless. The so-called soldiers are more important than speed. When fighting, it makes sense to fight quickly!"

"Yes, we thought too much-" Yao Shouxin nodded. It was the first time he was commanding a war, and he lacked experience. All strategies such as guiding the enemy out of the city are redundant. If you are prepared and fight without preparation, you need to be fast and unexpected. At the fastest speed, approach the front of the camp at the fastest speed, set up a formation at the fastest speed, set up a gun position, give full play to the advantages of the artillery, and attack the city with all your strength. The best strategy is redundant.

The combat plan before departure has been changed several times, and this is the situation that must be achieved in the end. Of course, the plan only requires that the two battlefield commanders go outside the city at this time. The speed of marching on the road, where to rest, the requirements for reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, etc. were decided before departure. When you arrive at the city, it depends on the performance of Zhang Ji and Yao Shouxin.

When it was at the darkest time before dawn, there was no news leaking, and there was enough time to unfold. In this case, why did Zhang Ji and Yao Shouxin still not know how to attack? Yao Shouxin is an expert in using cannons. The gun position is set reasonably. The three directions are divided into oblique and direct shooting, which does not give the village time to react. After the gate is opened, there will be a few more rounds of direct shooting, and the infantry will follow in the city to lay the foundation for the battle situation.

No matter how you arrange it, as long as there is no accident, you can use absolute firepower advantage to overwhelm the enemy. This is what Du Zhongxiao has always emphasized in the Yingtianxiang Army. When officers are studying, they also talk about various strategies, but the focus is not on these, but on various strategic and tactical principles. The core of it is to form local advantages on the battlefield. After achieving local advantages, you must not hesitate, fight decisively, and avoid dragging the mud. Zhang Ji is not this system, Yao Shouxin is an artillery soldier, and hesitate when encountering accidents.

Liu Sheng was promoted to the tent, and as he looked at the generals who were rushing to speak, a soldier rushed in and said, "Master, the gate of the village is about to be broken!"

Liu Sheng sighed: "The situation is gone! You all quickly gather your troops and horses, follow me out of the city from the south gate, escape from the village, and serve the Prime Minister quickly!"

Everyone agreed loudly and stood up to disperse. Liang Zuo was young and raised in the Prime Minister's Mansion, where the Prime Minister's Mansion was located.

Liu Sheng and the generals left the village hall together, wanting to fight Qingning Deguang. At this moment, he heard a loud noise, and the village gate to the north was collapsed, and a piece of the city wall was collapsed. Many soldiers were pressed into the ruins and kept wailing.

Liu Sheng shouted: "Catch troops and horses quickly and block the gate of the village with me. Don't allow the Song army to rush in!"

As he said that, he pulled out his waist knife, took his own soldiers, and rushed towards the collapsed village gate. Halfway through the road, he heard a few cannon sounds from outside the city, followed by several shells flying in from the broken village gate, hitting Liu Sheng and others in the front, crushing a bloody road.

The generals who left the village hall were shocked and rushed up to check Liu Sheng's injuries.

The military camp's sect is facing two gates from north to south, and three points form a straight line. The gate is located in the middle. The small military camp, only a hundred steps from the gate to the gate. The Song army's cannons outside the city can penetrate the gate. Once the gate is broken, the Song army outside the city fires cannons, and all the shells are hit in the gate. Most of the Dangxiang soldiers in the village are concentrated on the middle road. For a while, the North Gate and the gate become a bloody road.

Who has ever seen such a scene? After the three-wheeled cannon, he heard a strange shout, and the soldiers in the village exploded. Everyone, relying on their instincts to head towards the south gate, and the generals could not stop it. After opening the gate, they rushed out and ran out. Not long after they heard the cannons. Several Song army artillery positions outside the south gate fired together, and there were ghosts and wolves howling at the gate.

After the five rounds of cannons were shot directly, Zhang Ke brought hundreds of infantry into the city. He saw a mess. The soldiers of Dangxiang in the village ran around, shouting in horror, as if they were crazy. Some were sitting in the sky, while others were killing with knives.

Zhang Ji led his troops for many years, but when he saw that the momentum was not good, he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to arrange their troops at the city gate and stopped. Any enemy troops approached, they would shoot and kill them, and try to avoid entanglement with the enemy at this time.

The Dangxiang soldiers in the city were obviously collapsed and had lost their minds. They could only let them vent their own venting and then go forward to deal with it. At this time, the Dangxiang soldiers were either surrendered like fools or killed and slashed randomly. They had amazing strength and were difficult to catch.

Qingning Deguang crawled out of the ruins, looked at the hell-like scene in front of him, and panicked. He only heard that the Song army had attacked the city, but he didn't know what was going on, and the house was knocked down. By the time the personal soldiers dug him out, the city was completely in chaos.

The red sun in the east poked out, and the city finally calmed down. The crazy soldiers lost their strength, were so stupid that they had just woken up, and no one had the strength to do so. Facing the Song army entering the city, they had neither the strength to resist nor the will to resist.

Zhang Ke carefully led the infantry forward. Seeing that no one was resisting, he ordered the soldiers to collect all the weapons of the Dangxiang people.

After collecting the weapons of the Dangxiang people in the village, dividing them into small groups, and sending people to take care of them, Zhang Ji was relieved.

Qingning Deguang came out of his hiding place, and saw that no one was going crazy again, he let out a breath. Seeing a figure who looked like a general of the Song army in front of the village hall, he was commanding the soldiers to check around and hurriedly whispered: "I am Qingning Deguang, a member of the Qingning tribe, and work under the Prime Minister's Mansion! I am the person with the highest official title here, and the other general comes to speak!"

Zhang Ke turned his head and looked down on Ning Deguang, looking indifferent, as if he hadn't heard him, and ignored him.

Qingning Deguang was furious and was about to come forward to argue, a few Song soldiers came over and seized the swords and guns of their own soldiers.

Qingning Deguang said loudly: "I am the prime minister's mansion. The court sent it here. Let your generals come over and speak!"

The soldiers ignored him and came up to search Qingning Deguang's body directly, touched a close-fitting short sword, and threw it on the ground. After searching, several soldiers escorted Qingning Deguang and a few personal soldiers, worked with the officials in the village hall, and sent someone to watch.

Qingning Deguang shouted for a long time, but Song Jun did not respond or pay attention, just arrested people, searched their bodies, and then divided into small groups.

He was tired of shouting, Qingning Deguang stopped his mouth and suddenly felt cold. It was still February, and the morning was extremely cold. After a cold war, Qingning Deguang suddenly found that the village was very strange. The Dangxiang people seemed to have lost their souls one by one, and the Song army was silent.

After taking care of the open space in the village, Zhang Ke ordered his personal soldiers: "Transport all the military weapons out of the city and invite General Yao in!"

After a moment, the seized military weapons were transported out of the city, and Yao Shouxin brought people in.

Zhang Ke said: "It has been searched, and more than 700 people have been arrested, and more than 200 corpses have been arrested. The cavalry sent at the South Gate has not yet returned, so I don't know how many people have escaped. Such a large military camp, if we have captured it, will definitely not be able to hide it from the Dangxiang people. We must leave quickly and clean up all the villages and forts in the south before the Dangxiang reinforcements arrive. Now the whole army is making rice. After eating, I will take people to Tumaochuan and divide your troops with you. You can clean the villages and forts downstream of the Dulun River."

Yao Shouxin bowed: "That's right! There is no big city behind, the gunner will arrange the gun position, and the general will go well!"

This was a route that had been decided long ago, and there was nothing to say. The two of them found their respective generals and made follow-up arrangements.
