1367. The Battle of Weizhou (2)(1/2)

Everyone thinks that the Song army does not seem to be sieging the city in large numbers.

After all, both sides now have grenade launchers. Although there is not much to rely on in the city wall, even if it is just 30,000 defenders in the city, it is not something that the Song army can afford.

Furthermore, the defending city side still has to take advantage. Even if both sides are evenly matched, the siege side will inevitably have to pay more to break the city.

As a veteran, Tu Boda certainly knew what serious consequences would have for the soldiers not to get a rest.

A tired soldier will be defeated.

If the entire army was allowed to resist the Song army here, it would have really been the plan of the Song army.

So, after a little pondering, Tu Boda ordered only 10,000 soldiers to defend the city, and the rest of the soldiers were resting and waiting in the camp.

This was because he had the shadow of being defeated by the Song army before, otherwise, he would not have even left ten thousand soldiers on this city wall.

After all, if the Song army really attacked the city in large numbers, it would be too late for him to mobilize the defenders in the city.

After that, before Tianshang Army arrived at the city of Weizhou, Tu Boda himself returned to the government office.

These days, he has found several beauties in the city, but he has not had time to enjoy them one by one. Every night is a spring night worth a thousand gold for him.

The night is getting heavier and heavier.

The five thousand imperial guards of the Song Dynasty also arrived outside the city of Weizhou. Then, they stopped about 500 meters outside the city.

Grenade launchers took off the grenade launcher behind them and set up guns on the spot.

The soldiers behind were still standing quite scattered and remained motionless in the cold wind. Only the torches were fluttering in the wind.

Commander Wang Dagang personally stood in front of the army.

When the grenade launchers were setting up guns, he just looked at the Weizhou city where there were also many torches.

If the Western Xinjiang of the Song Dynasty was stable, there would be no problems with the Western Xia. To support Zhongxing Prefecture, they had to take over this Weizhou City.

Soon, a general led his way to Wang Dagang, "Captain, the grenade launcher has been set up! Waiting for your order!"

He looked at Wang Dagang at the top of the city and slowly narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

In front of the army.

Among the imperial guards, there were a total of 1,500 grenade launchers, and they were all aimed at the head of Weizhou city. Among them, the most dense grenade launchers aimed at the city gates.

About two minutes later, Wang Dagang ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare to fire!"

His orders were quickly conveyed.

The grenade launchers carried the set up grenade launchers and continued to approach Weizhou City in the dark.

Only about four hundred meters away, shells poured out from the city.

Wang Dagang's eyes suddenly widened and shouted: "Fire!"

During the artillery fire, the imperial guards hurriedly placed the grenade launcher and shells on the ground, and also started shelling at the top of the city.

The sound of cannons inside and outside Weizhou City was rumbling, and it was as dense as rain.

On such a night, I think it is difficult to fall asleep even if I lie in a warm bed.

I don’t know how many people in Weizhou City toss and turn to sleep amid the sound of cannons.

Both sides of the Song and Yuan dynasties were consuming grenade launchers.

Although the cost of grenade launchers is not cheap, losing some grenade launchers is nothing compared to victory.

Now is not the time to be stingy with arms.

Zhang Guangbao mobilized Tianhui, and Tianqiao's grenade launcher was sent to Tianshang Army, which undoubtedly made the Yuan army at the top of the city confused.

They only thought that the Song army had about 20,000 troops, and at most only two troops. The number of grenade launchers was somewhat beyond their expectations.

Even if they were condescending on the city and taking advantage of some advantages, they were still a bit miserable by the grenade launcher of the Song Dynasty imperial guards.

In the light of fire, countless Yuan troops were engulfed.

The city that was originally waiting for the battle quickly became extremely chaotic in the flames.

At the city, although the Song Dynasty imperial guards also suffered considerable losses in the artillery fire of the Yuan army, they did not show any chaos.

After all, only the grenade launcher ball is in front.

Five rounds of cannons fired.

The Song imperial guards under the city had already vented thousands of artillery shells on the top of the city.

Even though the power of shells in this era is far from comparable to that of later generations, so many shells are enough to blow the head of Weizhou to the point of bruises.

There were countless gaps on the top of the city, and the front of the city collapsed and the acropolis was damaged.

Several walls even collapsed.

Even the city gate collapsed at the time.

"withdraw!"

In the army of the sky, Wang Dagang suddenly raised his gun and issued such an order.

Soon, the front-line grenade launchers retreated to the back.

The sound of cannons on the top of the city also stopped suddenly.

When the Yuan army saw the retreat of the Song Dynasty imperial guards, they made deafening cheers.

No matter what, the Song army's offensive was repelled. And they survived.

At this moment, I am afraid that the Yuan army had such thoughts in their hearts, and the Song army was just like this...

But then they were a little confused, because after the Song army outside the city retreated, they did not retreat back to the military camp like this.

Wang Dagang led five thousand soldiers and stood quietly outside Weizhou City.

There were Yuan troops whispering on the top of the city wall.

"These Song Kou are not planning to continue to attack the city, aren't they afraid of death?"

"New recruit, what do you know? It's just a drum. Wait, without the three drums, the Song army would not retreat so easily."

The veteran who spoke looked at the cheering soldiers around him, and his eyes were full of contempt. They were all unsightly recruits.

However, he really made this statement.

With the sound of drums outside the city, the continuous torches slowly pressed down against the city again.

It was still the first artillery fired by the Yuan army.

Then the Song imperial guards outside the city fought back.

After another round of confrontation, the city wall became even more ragged.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty finally failed to break through the firepower at the top of the city and retreated to the back "helplessly".

After that, there was another long confrontation.

The night became darker and darker without realizing it.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty reorganized the army longer than before, but they never intended to retreat.

In fact, some of the Yuan army on the top of the city were tired. Seeing the Song army outside the city remained unmoved and their eyelids were fighting, but they could only hold on with the shouts of the generals.

Before the Song army retreated back to the military camp, no one could slacken.

Outside the city.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty still stood upright.

Although many of them were new recruits, standing in the Song Dynasty military camp was a regular subject, and the Yuan army was far from comparable.

The same recruits were trained in different ways, and their appearance was completely different.

A general galloped in front of Wang Dagang and asked, "Captain, when will we attack again?"

Wang Dagang frowned with thick eyebrows.

In fact, he was not willing to attack the city under such a situation.

The Yuan army took advantage of the situation. Every grenade canister in the army was blown up, and every soldier died in battle was as if he was digging meat in his heart.

But he had no choice.

He had to let the Yuan army see the firepower of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards first, otherwise, this attack would have no meaning.

Furthermore, of course I also want to numb the Yuan army.

Looking at the general in front of him, Wang Dagang slowly said: "At the hour of Mao, wait until the hour of Mao, and immediately beat the drum and roar!"

"yes!"

The general took the order and ran away again.

It’s Mao hour, five in the morning.

Speaking of which, Wang Dagang has been confronting the Yuan army outside Weizhou City for several hours.

And what he has to do is to persevere until dawn.
To be continued...
