1160. Battle of Tongchuan Prefecture (Part 1)(1/2)
Xiao Yulin had just left, and Zhao Dongting came to scout again.
The next morning, Yue Peng, who received the scouts, led a large army to attack Tongchuan Prefecture.
In the Song Dynasty and Western Xia camps, only about two thousand soldiers were left to guard the camps. The rest of the soldiers headed towards Tongchuan Prefecture.
The Song army marched in front, and the Western Xia army followed behind.
After the scout in Tongchuan Prefecture discovered this scene, he hurried back to the city to report the news.
The defenders in the city hurriedly gathered towards the northern city gate.
There are countless gunfire cars on the top of the city.
There are also the New Song Army and the hot air balloon army in the Dali Army waiting for battle in the city and will be at their disposal.
To this day, both sides have been preparing for this battle for a long time.
The deputy palace master of Guigu personally sat in the middle of the city, preparing to command the three armies. In addition, Chi Fenggu assisted in the east end of the city wall, and became the deputy commander.
There is also a chief general of the Tongchuan Prefecture defender sitting on the west side of the city wall.
The entire north wall of Tongchuan Prefecture can be said to be very defensive.
As the rising sun gradually rose, the Song Dynasty imperial guards and the Western Xia imperial guards also slowly appeared outside Tongchuan Prefecture.
Tens of thousands of troops lined up and advanced, and then stopped about five hundred meters outside the city and arranged troops.
There are dozens of groups, all arranged in square arrays. It seems that the formations are really intimidating.
Even though the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture were flocking to each other, their expressions were solemn at this time.
Because both sides will inevitably suffer damage to each other, not because there are too many people on the side, which side will not be damaged. If you are shot, no one can die on your behalf.
Even the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were quite solemn at such moments.
There was an extremely depressing murderous aura above the military formation.
Yue Peng, Zhao Hu, Du Hu, Zheng Yihang and others stood in front of the army. In addition to Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and others also led the army to the front and lined up on the left side of the Song Dynasty imperial guards.
Yue Peng raised his telescope to observe the situation at the city wall.
So many artillery chariots are enough to show how well the guards in Tongchuan Prefecture are prepared.
Faced with the hot air balloons of the Song Dynasty and Western Xia, the deputy palace master of Guigu also had his own way of dealing with it. There were many people in Tongchuan Prefecture who did not appear on the top of the city wall.
Yue Peng put down the telescope and just sneered, "Use this trick again."
When the Song army attacked Dali, a high-ranking official in Dali had already suffered the loss of using such despicable tricks.
I just want to come, because the deputy palace master of Guigu did this because there was no other way.
The weapons and armor of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were much stronger than those of the New Song Dynasty, and the Dali army was much stronger, so he did not dare to give up the city wall easily.
In this battle, perhaps only by consuming many Song army soldiers on the city walls could Tongchuan Prefecture have the possibility of defending it.
Otherwise, if the soldiers in the New Song and Dali Army were inevitably defeated, they had already suffered from the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
However, the deputy palace master of Guigu could not have imagined that Yue Peng had no intention of showing mercy this time.
This was from Zhao Dongting's instruction.
Miao Youli and Pang Wenbo died in Chongqing, which made Zhao Dongting angry.
In the new Song Dynasty, he will be destroyed.
Now that Xinsong is destroyed, it can be said that only two cities are separated from Tongchuan Prefecture and Chongqing Prefecture. In this case, he naturally will not take into account the lives of those people.
This is unkind.
But this is the choice he had to make as the emperor.
Only by doing this can the defenders in all parts of the Xinsong territory dispel the plan of using the people as shields. Otherwise, the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty would also lose a lot in the Xinsong territory.
That was not what Zhao Dongting was willing to see.
To govern a country, one must be kind, but one must first weigh the trade-offs of interests.
Now Zhao Dongting has become more and more mature emperors. His style of conduct has gradually undergone subtle changes compared to before.
It was gradually difficult to see the shadow of the past in him. He was no longer the boss of the company in his previous life, but the real emperor of the Song Dynasty.
In front of the army, Yue Peng slowly raised his gun.
Next to him, the big crow shaking.
In an instant, there were grenade launchers in Tiankui, Tianyong and Tianmeng troops running to the front of the formation.
The main gunner kneeled down on one knee and carried the gun.
This made Heliancheng and Qu Rujian, who saw this scene, envious.
The Song Dynasty gave them the method of making hot air balloons to Xixia, but did not make the methods of making sharp weapons such as grenade cannons, sky-rushing cannons and Shenlong guns publicly.
This is the foundation for the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty to rampant the world.
Then, I saw that the big flag was far away again.
The hot air balloons slowly expand in Tiankui, Tianyong and Tianmeng's army.
Qu Rujian also sent military orders to go.
The nearly two thousand hot air balloons of the Western Xia Qitian Army were also moving, which was much more scary than the Great Song Imperial Army.
The army of the Qitian Army seems to be different from the Song Dynasty Feitian Army. The army is composed of hot air balloon players. Even if it is Tiankui, Tianyong and Tianmeng Army, the hot air balloons in the Qitian Army are all far less than those in the Qitian Army.
When the deputy palace master of Guigu in the city, Chi Fenggu and others saw this scene, their expression changed slightly.
At this moment, they had to worry about whether the Song army and the Xixia army planned to ignore the lives of these people on the city.
I immediately thought that the Song army had never done anything like this before that hurt the people, and I couldn't help but wonder if the Song army was bluffing.
Therefore, the deputy palace lord of Guigu did not order the soldiers to retreat from the city. He only ordered the hot air balloon army in the city to take off as well and prepare to face the enemy.
Hot air balloons swelled like mushrooms in the city.
At this time, there were 90,000 soldiers gathered in Tongchuan Prefecture, and the number of hot air balloons was quite scary.
Duan Qilin almost suppressed all the remaining powers of Xinsong and Dali in these two cities.
Most of the masters are in Chongqing Prefecture.
The forces of the army are mostly gathered in Tongchuan Prefecture.
After a while, many hot air balloons slowly emerged from the inside and outside the city, almost covering the sky.
The dark shadows projected onto the ground, making the atmosphere even more solemn.
Yue Peng swung his gun.
The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty pressed forward again after just a few minutes.
Grenade launcher hand in front.
A sky-rushing gunner followed behind him.
The Western Xia imperial guards did not move, and only remained in place, maintaining the square formation.
Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and others had already discussed with Yue Peng to attack Tongchuan Mansion, but they were not the main force.
To break the city, it still requires an army like the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty with extremely strong firepower.
Four hundred meters!
Three hundred meters!
Two hundred meters!
As the Song Dynasty imperial guards pressed closer and closer with the hot air balloons in the air, the defenders on the city wall looked more and more serious.
The deputy palace master of Guigu narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a trace of light constantly flashing in his eyes.
He knew that if the Song army really ignored the people on the city wall, it would be difficult for them to defend the city wall.
They did not have weapons to deal with grenade launchers.
Most of the cannon-bombing cars on the front of the city can only be reduced to decorations.
On the east and west sides of the city, Chi Fenggu and the chief general of the Tongchuan Prefecture also looked like this.
They faced the Tianyong and Tianmeng armies of the Song Dynasty respectively. They were also forced to the city by the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
The hot air balloons on both sides slowly approached in the air.
The difference in quantity seems to be. There are always some slight differences, and they cannot be seen in such a situation where the sky is concealed.
Yue Peng stared at the city wall for a few seconds, murmured in a low voice: "The revenge of Chongqing Palace, today I, Yue Peng, will avenge me."
Then he whispered but heavy, and said to the messenger beside him: "Shoot the arrows and fire the cannon!"
The messenger hurriedly took out an arrow from his arms.
A loud arrow with a red tail wing soared upwards and then exploded in the air.
The deputy palace master of Guigu on the top of the city was wide open and shouted loudly: "Go to the top of the city! Enter the tunnel!"
