Chapter 89 One ri breaks the city

An error occurred while processing s private file

Luo Qinghan traveled day and night, and arrived at Songzikou Daying, Weizhou, Daibei at dusk on the fifth day of April.

The Khitan Army, Bohai Army, Tiger Lie Second Army, Resentful Army, Heishan Army, Shenlong Army, Thunder Army, Jinglei Army and the grain shooting army led by Hong Yun gathered in the mountains and forests of dozens of miles in Songzikou, and all roads entering and leaving Songzikou were blocked.

The armies went north one after another, and the orders they received were to change defenses normally. It was not until they entered Songzikou and saw other troops that they knew that this was a secret gathering, and gathering meant a war. So many troops gathered in a mountainous area like Weizhou, and their goal was to fight Fengshengzhou and recapture all the prefectures and counties in Daibei.

Just when everyone was anxious, Luo Qinghan arrived.

Huo Liuge, who accompanied Luo Qinghan to the front line, explained in detail the attack strategy, "Our ultimate goal is Yanjing, to capture the entire Youyan, to cut off the retreat of the main force of the Jin army, and to surround the Jin army in Hebei. Therefore, we must not only capture Fengshengzhou, but also defeat the 100,000 troops of Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Loushi, but also quickly conquered Juyongguan and conquered Yanjing."

Brother Huo Liu's words are very inciting

Motivation, the generals in the tent were excited, and they were ready to kill them. For more than a year, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army had no choice but to suppress the Jin army in Daibei, and everyone was holding their breath, especially the Khitans, who were eager to take revenge and gritted their teeth and wanted to kill to Huanglong Mansion now.

"This is a decisive battle, a real decisive battle." Brother Huo Liu waved his hands, stared at his blood-red eyes, and said excitedly, "The General Manager has planned secretly for several months and has deceived everyone. The Jurchens know nothing. We will definitely win, and it will be a great victory, an unprecedented victory."

"In the Daibei battlefield, we assembled 300,000 troops; in the Hedong battlefield, we assembled 50,000 troops to ensure the security of Taiyuan; in the Central Plains battlefield, the General General gathered 200,000 troops, not only to fight the Jin army, but also to chase the Jin army to Hebei." In order to boost morale, Huo Liuge opened his mouth and blew wildly, "As long as we take Yanjing, we can block the Jin army on the Baigou line, attack the general general north and south, and encircle and annihilate the main force of the Jin army."

"Everyone, if we repeatedly damaged the Jin army in the four battlefields of Daibei, Youyan, Zhongyuan, and Hebei, can the Jurchens still defend Huanglong Mansion?"

The tent suddenly burst into joy,

Even Yelu Ma Ge couldn't help but feel excited and shouted loudly, "Brothers, take down Yanjing and go north to attack Huanglong Mansion."

Luo Qinghan stood up, pressed his hands quietly, and signaled the generals to calm down.

"On the sixth day of the lunar month, the army set out from Matsukokou."

Luo Qinghan's finger map was drawn on Yongxing City, Fengshengzhou Prefecture. A circle was drawn. "On the ninth day of the first lunar month, we attack Yongxing City day and night, and the speed must be fast. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, regardless of whether Yongxing City was taken down, the main force would go south to attack Khan Prefecture and Ruzhou, and then directly kill Juyong Pass and Shimen Pass."

"On the ninth day of the lunar month, the Iron Supervisor will attack Qingpi Road, restrain Wanyan Yu, and give us. Attack Juyongguan to win time."

"Wanyan Yu heard that we attack Juyong Pass, we will definitely return to help quickly." Luo Qinghan looked solemn and drew a line on the map, "About 500 miles from Qingpi Road to Yongxing City. If Wanyan Yu marched day and night, he would be able to reach Jiming Mountain at most three days. So if we want to get the initiative, we must first before Wanyan Yu arrived at Jiming Mountain.

We can capture the northern city of Juyongguan so that we can free our hands to surround Wanyan Yu."

"Wanyan Loushi's return to the aid is probably faster. Most of his tents are horse soldiers. If he gallops day and night, he can get from Baishuilu to Jiming Mountain in three days." Luo Qinghan frowned deeply, "When we surround Wanyan Yu, we must prevent Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Yu from merging. If these two armies meet, it will be difficult to fight in Jiming Mountain. If you are not careful, you will suffer a loss and both sides will be injured, which will directly affect the entire battle."

Luo Qinghan looked up at the generals in the tent, "So, I hope that you will put the overall situation first and firmly follow the orders. Even if the losses are heavy, even if there are only one soldier and one soldier left, you must stick to the end and never retreat."

The generals agreed.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, when the darkness faded, the garrisons on Yongxing City Tower changed color in horror. The battle flags were flying outside the city, and large armies were approaching quickly, without a glance.

The sound of the alarm horn sounded shrillly, and the war came quietly.

The Tiger Lie Army surrounded the city as fast as possible. At the beginning of Chen Shichu, Li Jin commanded the Thunder Army to launch the first attack. At this moment, dozens of floating bridges had been built on the surface of the Sanggan River ten miles away. The subsequent army was crossing the river with baggage and siege equipment. The two sides of the river were crowded with people, which was spectacular.

At the moment, Hu Jiayong commanded the resentful army, and Gao Hao commanded the Heishan army to launch an attack at the same time. Yongxing City was quickly drowned out by the deafening sound of killing.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Qinghan and Huo Liuge came with their subordinates and entourages across the river.

The old commander Dong Zhongsun, who was responsible for siege, reported the military information to Luo Qinghan. At present, Shenlong, Thunder, Heishan and the resentful army have all been put into the main force, but Yongxing City has a large defensive force and cannot be taken down in a hurry.

"We can't waste too much time here." Luo Qinghan frowned and said, "The news that Yongxing City was attacked will be spread soon. Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Loushi are restrained by the iron coach and will not come here immediately for the time being. However, when Yanjing received the news, it is very likely to mobilize troops to support Juyongguan and strengthen Juyongguan's defensive power. That is a headache for us."

"today

You must take down Yongxing City." Brother Huo Liu's tone was unquestionable, "If you can't take down Yongxing City, Datong's food and supplies cannot be transported here. Without weapons supplements and large-scale siege equipment, how can we fight Juyongguan?"

There are two roads from Juyong Pass to Datong, one is along the Sanggan River, and the other is along the Nanyang River. The road along the Sanggan River is from Yongxing City and then to Huairen City in the south of Datong. This road crosses mountains and ridges, which is not easy to walk, but now the main force of the Jin army, Wanyan Yu, guards the Qingpi Road, and the road in the Nanyang River is not open, so he can only walk this road. Because of this, there are many defenders in Yongxing City and will not be able to be defeated for a while.

In the afternoon, the battle situation became more intense. The four gates of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army attacked together, and tens of thousands of people took turns to attack, and the attack momentum was rising and falling.

Luo Qinghan came to the front line in person, extremely anxious.

Brother Huo Liu saw that the north bank of the river was filled with people and his eyes were filled with fire. He suddenly had an idea, "Call the two gunners of the Black Mountain Army over and bomb the city gate with thunder and thunder."

"No, no..." Dong Zhongsun shook his head repeatedly, "Although the thunder of the sky is powerful, it is impossible to blow up the city gate.

Yes, unless you find a way to throw the sky-shaking thunder onto the city tower and directly blow up the enemy soldiers guarding the city."

Luo Qinghan heard Dong Zhongsun's words and found them quite reasonable, "Call Marshal Hong to me."

Hong Yun arrived on a horse and was caught by Brother Huo Liu as soon as he dismounted. "Can your firearm explode the city gate?"

Hong Yun was stunned and then shook his head. Hong Yun has been responsible for the development of firearms. Although he has stolen a lot of secrets from Bianjing in recent years, and has recently even snatched a group of craftsmen from Bianjing, which has made great progress in the development of firearms, except for rockets that can deploy large amounts of troops, other weapons such as fireballs are still difficult to use in actual combat. So far, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army has only two gunner generals and has not formed an independent army.

"Will you use a hundred thunderstorms?" Brother Huo Liu was like a gambler who lost all, gritted his teeth and spent all his money.

"Huo Shuai, I only have a few hundred thunders in total. You can use 100 at a time. Will the battle be fought later?" Hong Yun was startled when he saw the old Huo's eyes suddenly widened, and hurriedly explained, "Huo Shuai, the most troublesome problem of firearms is to insert one fire cone into them.

Ignite, think about it, how can one hundred thunders fall together to make them explode at the same time?"

Brother Huo Liu was stunned and stopped talking.

"Is there a way to shoot onto the city tower?" Dong Zhongsun asked, "As long as we can shoot the firearm onto the city tower, we can take the city immediately. Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, we will suffer too much loss, and we may not be able to take it down today."

Hong Yun looked at the soldiers fighting fiercely up and down the city wall, concentrating and contemplating.

"Build a wooden platform." Luo Qinghan suddenly said, "Carry your rations and soldiers to log on the spot, build a wooden platform, set up a projector, and shoot the fireball on my way to the city tower before dark."

Hong Yun didn't dare to say anything else and took the order and left. Although Luo Qinghan's method was a little too stupid, this was the only way now.

After dark, the grain shooting army prepared ten giant wooden platforms and placed twenty propellers on it. They first shot stone bullets and found the right position. They went for half an hour before they began to shoot fireballs.

The first thunder shot into the main building on the city gate. With a loud bang, the gate tower suddenly became fragmented, and the archers in the building were even more casualties. The Jin army defended the city was both broken and their morale was hit hard.

Then fireballs flew into the sky, some fell on the streets of the city, and some fell on the city walls. Huge explosions came one after another, and the entire city swayed in the explosion. How many Jin soldiers had seen such horrifying weapons? No matter how bold and timid, they were all depressed and ran away with their heads in their arms, and the city walls were in chaos.

Dugu Feng commanded the Shenlong Army to launch an attack. More than two thousand infantry soldiers rushed towards the city wall with a ladder. For a moment, the killing sound was like thunder.

The food sprinter stopped firing the fireball and began to cover the city wall with rockets. Although the rocket's explosion was not loud, tens of thousands of rockets exploded one after another, and the sound was also earth-shaking and resounding throughout the night sky.

The arrow formation stopped, and the warriors of the Dragon Army began to climb the cloud ladder. This time it went very smoothly, without any resistance, and directly killed the city tower and rushed into the city.

On the ninth day of the first day, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army conquered Yongxing City.
