738. Burning Xiushan
Both cities were full of war.
Later, with the support of powerful artillery fire, the city gate on the east side still broke through the city head first.
When the soldiers of Tianji Army attacked the city, they could not see many Xiushan Army soldiers on the city after being bombarded by artillery fire.
They took down the entire Dongmen city with thunder, and in the middle, they did not encounter any large-scale resistance.
More and more soldiers of the Tianji Army had already poured into the city at this time, but the Xiushan Army soldiers who had left the city before were blocked from outside at this time.
The chief general of the city supervising battle was not spared and was beaten into a sieve by the Shenlong gun.
The Tianji Army suddenly launched a counterattack and went straight to the city, which was indeed beyond their expectations.
It was even more unexpected for the rear army of Tianji Army to block all their soldiers outside the city.
At this time, both the city entrance and the city gate corridor were under the control of the Song army.
The guards in the city were only a few thousand, and after countless losses, they had already scattered birds and beasts.
The artillery chariots and grenade launchers carried by Tianji Army were all brought to the top of the city.
Then, the artillery fire began to vent outside the city.
Many soldiers threw thunder below.
Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen made up their minds to show their power in this battle, and obviously they had no intention of saving shells.
In the city gate corridor, the soldiers of the Tianji Army stacked up to form the Shenlong gun array and kept firing fire to the outside world.
Inside and outside the city, Xiushan soldiers were constantly hit by the bombs.
In such a fight, if you fall down, it will be difficult to get up again.
Unless the general is injured, no one will care about ordinary soldiers. There are even many who are directly slapped by the robes.
Of course, there are also people who swear to protect their soldiers to the death.
At this time, human nature is glorious. At the same time, it is also indifferent and cold-blooded.
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Zhang Hongwei ordered several regiment commanders in the army to lead their soldiers to the south gate for assistance.
In just over ten minutes, thousands of Tianji Army soldiers spread directly from the streets in the city to the southern city.
At this time, the Tianji Army occupied the city gate and captured all the artillery chariots of Xiushan Army that had not yet been able to withdraw from the city gate. There were thousands of people, and it was enough to defend the city.
On the streets, every family is closed.
When thousands of Tianji Army soldiers ran to Dongcheng District, they occasionally encountered scattered Xiushan Army soldiers on the streets. They were not polite and they all shot and knocked them down.
In less than two quarters of an hour, they approached the gate of Nancheng.
At this time, at the south gate, the soldiers of Xiushan Army were still fighting bloodily with the soldiers of Tianxian Army. Xiushan Army was inside, while Tianxian Army was outside.
Song Ruilili supervised the battle at a high place. He had already seen the entire battle situation, but he still had hope in his heart until Jiang Kui's reinforcements arrived. At this time, when he saw thousands of Tianji Army, his face was no longer covered with blood.
He is not a god.
The battle at the South City Gate was so difficult that he finally stabilized the situation under this situation, but he was unable to control the Xiushan army at the East City Gate.
In this era, commanding wars was quite unchanging. Moreover, he could not see the war situation in Dongcheng District here, and did not dare to order it easily.
When the sound of artillery fire suddenly became dense before, he knew that the East City Gate was most likely to have fallen. However, he never expected that the Tianji Army would come so quickly to help.
There were 15,000 soldiers there. Could it be that they were defeated by the Tianji Army so quickly?
Song Ruili didn't know that Zhang Hongwei led his army to occupy the city. At this moment, he closed his eyes dejectedly and sighed: "My general...My general..."
He was obviously blaming the generals who supervised the war at the East City Gate.
In his opinion, as long as he is not stupid, there is no reason why the Tianji Army will be captured by the city gate so quickly.
But now, it is obviously useless to say this.
When he opened his eyes again, Song Ruili's eyes showed a little struggle, and then he quickly became firm.
He was probably the kind of person who did not hit the wall and did not look back. Seeing that thousands of soldiers of the Tianji Army were getting closer, he was still unwilling to issue an order to retreat.
"Fight to the death! The rear army sets defense along the streets to block the reinforcements of the Song bandits!"
He coldly spoke up to the messenger waiting beside him.
The messenger hurried downstairs.
I am afraid that this battle will be abandoned until one side is completely out of support.
And in fact, this is indeed the case.
The sound of artillery fire in Xiushan City continued from noon to nearly night before it stopped.
The strong smell of blood and smoke drifted in the air.
Corpse everywhere in the city.
Zhao Liangcai, Song Ruili and others escaped from the city, but even if they included the relatives who accompanied them, there were only a few more than a thousand people.
The other Xiushan soldiers were either annihilated in the city or knelt down and begged for surrender.
Zhang Hongwei and others were not very polite to these Dali soldiers. After disarming, they were imprisoned in the army.
Later, the army went to the city to make meals, and all the food and grass in the military camp and the weapons were taken into account by the Song army.
A regiment commander led his soldiers to travel to various government offices in Xiushan City, and smashed the property of the government office on the spot.
Finally, fires spread across government offices in Xiushan City.
This made the people in the city feel anxious, and they only thought that the Song army would burn, kill, loot, or even slaughter the city.
Someone hurriedly took his family out of the city.
But as a result, after the fire was extinguished that night, Xiushan City was extremely calm.
The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty did not disturb the people.
The burning of the government office was an order issued by Zhang Hongwei. The emperor once said that Dali was fueling the fire in the rebellion of King Guang. This attack on the truth would cost Dali.
However, it was strictly prohibited by Zhao Dongting from disturbing the people and massacreing the people.
Zhang Hongwei was the only one who vented his anger and promoted the power of the Song army.
If Dali wants to rebuild the government offices of Xiushan County, it will definitely cost a lot of gold, silver and treasures.
The next day.
Fires also spread in the early morning in the two military camps in the city.
The thick smoke can be seen almost anywhere in Xiushan City.
Zhang Hongwei, Liu Zhuwen and others took their army out of the city like this.
The army had countless food, grass, gold, silver and treasures, and armies, as well as 7,000 surrendered soldiers from Xiushan Army.
Although the Tianxian army and the Tianxian army also lost nearly 4,000 soldiers in this battle, most of the soldiers still had excitement and high spirits on their faces.
The 4,000 army exceeded 30,000 people to guard the city, which was of course a great victory.
The army advanced northward and headed towards Shanchan Mansion.
Just in the afternoon of that day, we met reinforcements from Shanchan Prefecture to Xiushan County on the official road.
The two armies were only more than ten miles apart, and they both received scouts and stopped moving forward on the official road.
Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen were immediately in front of the army.
After the army stopped, Zhang Hongwei asked Liu Zhuwen: "Captain Liu, should we avoid his edge first, or..."
Liu Zhuwen chuckled with a fan, "Does Chief Zhang know about the white-robed god general Chen Qingzhi?"
Zhang Hongwei was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "I understand what you mean."
Chen Qingzhi, a white-robed army in the Southern Dynasty, won the majority with a few, and crossed thousands of miles, defeating the Northern Wei army. It can be said to be a military legend, so he naturally would not have heard of it.
And their current situation is similar to Chen Qingzhi who had penetrated the Northern Wei border.
Zhang Hongwei then said, "Well, Zhang, led the Tianji Army to try their best?"
Liu Zhuwen shook his head, "When fighting in the field, why do you need the entire army of Tianji to dispatch? It is better for Commander Zhang to lend me the Tiger Army first and I will go to the battlefield, how about it?"
The Tiger Army is a special force in the Tianji Army. The soldiers in the army are all elite soldiers selected from the Tianji Army, and are not comparable to ordinary soldiers.
Zhang Hongwei said in a slight surprise: "Captain Liu wants to use the Tiger Army and the Divine Ding Army to break the formation?"
Liu Zhuwen said: "As long as you lead your army behind the siege, it will be enough."
"good!"
Zhang Hongwei nodded, "Then in this battle, Zhang will see Captain Liu create another glory!"
Using Liu Zhuwen's method, they captured Xiushan City with a great victory. Now, Zhang Hongwei admires Liu Zhuwen even more.
In terms of force, Liu Zhuwen is not as good as him, and in terms of archery, he is far inferior. But when it comes to military tactics, he is also ashamed of himself.
Immediately, Zhang Hongwei called the commander of the Tiger Army, the commander of the Tiger Army, to ask him to obey Liu Zhuwen's dispatch.
Liu Zhuwen led the army of tigers and divine tripods, with a total of less than 2,000 people, leading the army and continuing to head north first.
Zhang Hongwei led the army to follow behind.
For the army, it is not far away, but not near. After all, in this era, it is already the limit to being able to march a hundred miles a day.
But Liu Zhuwen led the fierce tiger and the Divine Ding army had fast horses, and the horse's hooves rolled, galloping towards the reinforcements of Shanchan Mansion in the north.
