Chapter 1307 War spreads to northern Xinjiang (China)

The sun shines on those weapons, refracting the cold light, just like the shimmering sea at dusk.

Just as the siege of the city was just beginning, the Yuan army had about 20,000 people all advanced towards the North City Gate.

The drums in the army were shocked.

The powerful weapon of the artillery was pushed forward by the Yuan army without any accident.

There are about 200 hot air balloons in the air.

It seems that the Yuan army obviously intends to do a test first.

At the same time, there was about 20,000 troops heading east to Longxing Prefecture.

If you want to break the city, you must first explore the Song army's defense against the virtual and the real. This is a must-do. The commander of the Yuan army will naturally not not even understand this.

But what he probably didn't expect was that the defensive arrangements in Longxing Mansion were actually very balanced.

Tiannan, Tianyou, Tiankong and Longxing Prefecture garrisons were guarding the city heads on the southeast, northwest and north, each with five thousand soldiers on the city, and two thousand under the city as reserve troops.

In addition, the remaining 3,000 soldiers from the army were on standby in the center of the city.

These three thousand soldiers are all Iron cavalry and have extremely strong aid capabilities. No matter which city wall is in a tense situation, they can rush over to support it in a very fast time.

Wang Yinglin, Huang Fu and others did not set up any lines of defense in the city because they had never thought that the Yuan army could break the city.

This is their confidence.

Not to mention that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were invincible in the world. Even if the city was just ordinary soldiers, it would not be easy for the Yuan army to break the city.

Forced attacks on cities must have a great advantage in military strength. The tens of thousands of Yuan army are obviously not enough to form such a large advantage in military strength.

Moreover, there was a big river flowing outside Longxing Prefecture, which made the moat surging water surging, which further exacerbated the difficulty of the Yuan army breaking the city.

Among the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, the one who guarded the northern city wall was the Dark Army of Heaven.

At this time, the commander of Tiannan Army Ma Xiu was on the top of the city.

Seeing the 20,000 troops approaching the city wall, his face did not change much. He just looked up.

"Prepare to face the enemy!"

Such shouts sounded on the top of the city.

The grenade launchers of the grenade launcher battalion were all aiming at the Yuan army outside the city, and the same was true for the gun propellers, as well as countless crossbows and arrows.

Although most of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty had abandoned cold weapons such as bows and crossbows during the rushing, they naturally would not use them without using them when defending the city.

These things are much easier to manufacture than the Shenlong Gun, and they can also achieve considerable effects when defending the city.

After all, the Yuan army could not stop the bow and crossbow.

When the Yuan army was still hundreds of meters away from the city wall, there was a roar on the top of the city.

Hundreds of shells poured out of the city.

These are the grenade launchers in the Tiannan Army. Except for the twenty grenade launchers in the special forces regiments in the army, the rest are all here.

The flames exploded on the ground outside the city.

Flesh and blood fly.

This alone caused the Yuan army to suffer a lot of losses.

Immediately afterwards, the Yuan army was closer to the city wall with a grenade cannon, and the masts on the city were raised high.

Dark thunders were thrown out of the city.

The Song Dynasty flag was flying on the top of the city, and the soldiers looked not at all panic.

With hundreds of grenade launchers and hundreds of artillery chariots, such firepower is not something that can be broken into the city with just 20,000 troops.

The artillery fire was in the sky, and the explosion even covered up the shouts of the Yuan army.

The soldiers in front of the Yuan army were frightened by this series of bombings. Before they could approach the city, many people were cowardly.

After finally someone ran to the city dozens of meters, he had to face the grenades and crossbows of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

Those Yuan army soldiers who were rushing in front were all fired by sharpshooters in the army.

After more than ten minutes, no one in the Yuan army could pass through the moat.

There were a large number of corpses lying outside the moat, and there were also corpses floating down the water on the surface of the river.

Under such circumstances, a sound of gold sounded from the central army of the Yuan army.

Obviously the commander also knew that it would be impossible to break the city like this. Even if he didn't order the gold medal, the siege army would retreat.

The Song army's firearms were so powerful that they were a bit unreasonable.

The Yuan army retreated like a tide.

This offensive was undoubtedly full of thunder and little rain.

Only many holes after the explosion and the corpses of the Yuan army were left outside the city.

On the top of the city, Ma Xiu, who was slightly thin, showed a smile on his face.

As long as there was constant ammunition in the city, he was even confident that he would block all the Yuan army outside the city.

As long as the logistics supply is not cut off by the Yuan army, there is no possibility of ammunition in the city being cut off. With the current national strength of the Song Dynasty, it is not too difficult to support more than 200,000 imperial guards in combat.

After this army retreated, the Yuan army outside the northern city wall did not launch an offensive easily.

Only in the east of the city, the 20,000 Yuan army that surrounded the east wall also launched an attack on the front of the city.

However, their result was similar to the Yuan army that attacked the North City Wall.

Huang Fu led the Tianyou Army to guard the East City Gate, and the firepower was not below the Tiannan Army.

The 20,000 troops rushed to attack the city, and after being bombarded by artillery shells, they retreated in a hurry, and failed to pose any threat to the city wall.

Then, they gathered towards the army north of the city.

The Yuan army probably knew that it was not easy to attack Longxing Mansion, so they began to camp outside the city.

By the evening, the Yuan army tents several miles outside the city were everywhere.

Tens of thousands of troops were all stationed on the north side of Longxing Prefecture.

Obviously, although they cannot take over the Longxing Mansion for the time being, they do not intend to retreat just like this.

Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked the northern border of the Song Dynasty, but no one has tasted the sweetness until now, and no one dares to lead his army to retreat easily.

Inside the tent of the Yuan army camp.

There was a Mongolian man sitting in the main seat, and below were dozens of Yuan army generals.

This great man is the head coach of the Yuan army. Although he is a Yuan person, he is wearing Han costumes. His temperament looks very different from a powerful general like Balahar.

Perhaps, he can be described by the word "Quan" in "Elegance".

But his status in the Yuan Dynasty was far beyond comparison with Balahar.

Because this man is Zhen Jin, the prince of the Yuan Dynasty, and he is also the father of Tolando.

In history, Zhen Jin was actually a good person. He respected the wise and confucians of the Han Dynasty, advocated that the children of Mongolian nobles learn Han culture, and advocated that taxes and service should be reduced, and frugal. Unfortunately, he ended up in a depressed end because of his disagreement with Kublai Khan. If he followed the original historical development trajectory, he would have lived in a few months.

I just don’t know if the arrival of Zhao Dongting’s “butterfly…” and a hurricane blew in this era. I wonder if it would also change the fate of real gold.

"After a setback in the siege, what are your ideas?"
