1161. Battle of Tongchuan Prefecture (Central)

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty suddenly stopped taking into account the actions of the people, which made the war fall into an absolute disadvantage when it just began.

War requires morale.

Although the deputy palace master of Guigu still has arrangements for hot air balloons, grenade launchers and other objects in the city, he asked the soldiers to retreat just now when the battle started. This is definitely not a good thing.

He probably won't have the chance to retreat again.

Because if the army retreats again and again, the morale of the army is likely to be disintegrated. This will be fatal to the army.

As the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture retreated, the sound of artillery continued.

Yue Peng will never miss such an opportunity.

After six rounds of cannon fire, there were no more than a few defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture on the top of the city.

Yue Peng waved his gun and shouted: "Kill!"

Another arrow took off.

The sound of the Great Song Imperial Army on the ground was shocking the sky and rushed towards the city almost at the same time.

The grenade launcher is no longer aimed at the head of the city wall, but at the base of the wall.

Before the army could reach the city, the grenade launchers used the grenade launchers to break through gaps under the city.

The entire north city wall of Tongchuan Prefecture was in vain under such firepower bombing.

In the air, the hot air balloons in the Song Dynasty and Western Xia armies also pressed into the city at the same time.

Tongchuan Mansion hot air balloon slowly retreated.

They only retreated, but did not dare to retreat too far. Because if they retreated, the city's robes would face bombing from the Song army and the Western Xia army's hot air balloons.

The Deputy Palace Master of Guigu could not have arranged so many soldiers in the tunnel, unless it was almost the same as emptying the entire underground of the northern urban area of ​​Tongchuan Prefecture.

And this is naturally impossible.

Even if the Deputy Palace Master Guigu had already made such a plan, it would not be a huge project that could be completed in just a few months.

Moreover, with the construction technology of this era, it is probably impossible to create such a magical dungeon. Even if so, the national strength of Xinsong is difficult to support.

Many soldiers of Tongchuan Prefecture must be hidden in the shelter in the city.

Although those bunkers have some protective effects on hot air balloons, they cannot withstand the continuous bombing.

In just a few minutes, the Song Dynasty imperial guards rushed into the city.

The first to enter the city was the Shield Soldier.

Following closely behind are the Shenlong Gunners in the army.

There is no need for Yue Peng to give any more instructions for such a formation, because for the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, this is a conventional method of siege.

And there were indeed Tongchuan Prefecture ambushers in the city.

The Tongchuan Prefecture troops who hurried down to the city wall did not evacuate too far from the city wall.

As soon as soldiers from the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty entered the city, they encountered resistance from the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture in the city.

Arrows, thunder and so on all came towards the Song army soldiers.

The explosions were endless.

"kill!"

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty only shouted and shouted to the sky, swarming towards the city.

They never paid attention to those arrows.

Many arrows shot on the soldiers' armor and only jingled, let alone shot on those shields.

Yue Peng, who was already the Grand Marshal of Xianglong Military Region, did not join the army to enter the city this time.

Hearing the sound of cannons in the city, he only said to the messenger next to him: "Let the hot air balloon army forward and clear out a foothold for our Song Dynasty imperial guards!"

The messenger fired another arrow.

The hot air balloons of the Song Dynasty and Western Xia armies received orders, and the soldiers in the hanging basket shook the fan hard and pressed into the city.

The hot air balloons of the Tongchuan Prefecture defenders have no choice but to retreat.

Because they retreated, all the ambushers on the ground in the city would be exposed to the hot air balloons of the Song and Western Xia army.

The general in the army gritted his teeth and ordered, "Shoot the arrow! Block the enemy's hot air balloon!"

The hot air balloons of Tongchuan Prefecture were slowly lined up and shot rockets at the Western Xia and the hot air balloons in the Song Dynasty.

Only at this time, no one noticed that hundreds of Song soldiers came under the city wall, but did not enter the city, but threw the flying claws towards the top of the city.

They all have skillful movements.

After throwing the flying claws onto the top of the city, he pulled the rope hard. Seeing that it was solid, he climbed up to the top of the city.

All of them still carry things on their backs.

These are undoubtedly sky-rushing cannons and shells.

Outside the city, due to the influence of the city wall and range, they could not hit the hot air balloons of the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture. If they were to the city, it would be a different situation.

In just a short time, these agile sky-storming gunners climbed to the top of the city.

There were no defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture on the top of the city. Looking around, they were just devastated.

Bloody or charred corpses were lying everywhere on the ground.

After the sky-rushing gunners entered the city, they hurriedly set up guns at the top of the city.

At this time, the hot air balloons on both sides were still shooting at each other.

Countless rockets passed by.

There was a blast.

There were also shouts from soldiers in the slowly falling hot air balloons.

The hot air balloons on both sides have their own losses.

At the city, the Song Dynasty imperial guards were still pressing forward against the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture.

Whether it is the Tiankui Army, the Tianyong Army, or the Tianmeng Army, they are all long-standing troops.

Such an army is often easier to command.

Without even waiting for the commander to give the order, the generals in the army knew what to do with their soldiers.

The first ones to charge into the city were the Sixth Regiment of the Tiankui Army, the Seventh Regiment of the Tianyong Army, and the Sixth Regiment of the Tianmeng Army.

These three regiments are infantrymen.

Although they suffered losses after rushing into the city, they were not panicked. The soldiers all scattered at a very fast speed.

There were regiments in the Great Song army, and there were battalions in the regiments, and there were platoons in the battalions. Although there were only more than ten people in each squad and only more than a hundred people in each squad, they were all organized. As soon as they rushed into the city, the Great Song Imperial Army seemed very organized, and they were attacked by platoons in each place where the guards of Tongchuan Prefecture were ambushed.

It looks messy, but in fact it is not messy at all.

This is the result of long-term training.

The legion trained through Zhao Dongting's modern method is obviously not comparable to the Xinsong and Dali Army.

Although their army was also established, they were not as clear as the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. Many armies were quite bloated.

Such an army is troublesome to command, and often the orders are difficult to convey in time.

Even if the deputy palace master of Guigu is a talented person, he cannot do anything to all soldiers like their arms and fingers.

After all, most of the Tongchuan Prefecture troops were in their own formation at this time.

What the Deputy Palace Master of Guigu could do was to assign tasks to them early and let them lie in ambush. The commanders of each army were still commanding.

And these generals can only say that they have high or low abilities.

Whether it is Xinsong or Dali, the selection of generals is not as strict as that of the Song Dynasty. It can even be said that some generals can be called "a bag of wine" and rely on nepotism.

This is a very common situation in this era, and it was the same in the Song Dynasty in the past, and it is still a bit worse than that.

It can be said to be the disadvantage of the hereditary system.

If a son takes over his father's position, there is no guarantee that the generals in the military can have talents. After all, it is possible that the children born to some generals may have less IQ.

The combat effectiveness of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty undoubtedly shocked the Dali army in the city again.

They were ambushing in the city, but they seemed to have no advantage.

The Song army holding the Shenlong gun were simply fearless and rushed forward with a scream.

Apart from the sky-burning thunder, it was difficult for them to strike against these Song troops.

The Tongchuan Prefecture Army, which was ambushing in the city, was soon damaged.

The gunshots were like rain.

At the same time, the Tongchuan Prefecture Army continued to kill generals from all over the place.
