Chapter 1697 1373. Battle of Weizhou (Eight)

Perhaps because of the rush to rush to Weizhou City, the Yuan army did not even let the scouts take the lead in investigating the situation.

It was not until he moved forward for dozens of meters that the vanguard general in front of the army came back to his senses.

He frowned slightly and raised his hand suddenly.

The army stopped.

Then he ran towards the army.

Under the flag, he said to the main general of the Yuan army: "General, something is definitely wrong with the last general. The smoke of wolf smoke in the city is coming, why are the gunshots so sparse?"

The Lord General gasped, "What do you mean..."

Then he hurried down and said, "Let the scouts come forward to check and see if there is an ambush from the Song army!"

Logically speaking, with the 50,000 troops of the Song army, if it were not for the full force of attacking the city, it would not have been like this.

However, if the Song army was attacking the city with all their might, there would be no reason for the gunfire to be so sparse.

This undoubtedly made the chief general of the Yuan army feel confused.

He has arrived outside Weizhou City and he is not willing to take risks anymore. He is only two miles away from Weizhou City, and his eyesight is within reach, so it is not a big deal to waste some time a little.

As his generals conveyed it, scouts soon ran out of the army and headed towards the front of the official road and the mountains and forests on both sides.

In the dense forest, more than 10,000 soldiers of Tianqiao were hiding here.

There are steep mountains on both sides of Weizhou City, and it is no problem to hide more than 10,000 soldiers.

Qiu Muke, the commander of the Tianqiao Army, is a veteran general. He is about forty years old, with a medium figure and looks quite capable. He is the commander of the 7th Regiment of the Tiansha Army.

During the Battle of Fujian, he followed Chen Diaoyan to lead the army out of the city, with the most outstanding military achievements and sufficient qualifications in the army. He was a veteran. Therefore, when Zhao Dongting formed the new imperial guard, he promoted him to the commander of the Tianqiao Army. The deputy commander and Du Yuhou in the Tianqiao Army were also the deputy commander and Du Yuhou in the original Tianqiao Army.

In that battle in Fujian, the structure of their Seventh Regiment was almost wiped out, with less than 1,000 people and even Qiu Muke was seriously injured.

Zhao Dongting's title of him as the commander of the Tianqiao Army was not a good way to make up for it. At the same time, it also had the intention of promoting the rest of the Song Dynasty to fight bravely and take the Seventh Regiment as an example.

Seeing that the Yuan army suddenly stopped, Qiu Muke frowned slightly.

Then he looked at the Du Yuhou Pei Yuande on the side and said, "Old Pei, these Yuan soldiers are afraid they have discovered anything."

Pei Yuande, who is still a few years older than him, nodded and said with some regret: "It's a pity that they have not yet entered our best attack range."

"Not so much."

Qiu Muke tightened the Shenlong gun in his hand and said, "Send the order to make the soldiers ready for attack!"

Things in the world are always hard to be as satisfactory.

Qiu Muke thought that instead of letting these Yuan troops find that their Tianqiao army was ambushed here, it would be better to rush out first, at least take the initiative in momentum.

"Brothers, kill me!"

When he saw a scout from the Yuan army running out, Qiu Muke no longer hesitated at all and shouted loudly.

This shout kicked off the decisive battle in Weizhou.

One by one, Tianqiao soldiers emerged from the forest, everywhere, killing towards the Yuan army on the official road like a tide.

Immediately following, there were also shouts of killing on the side of the official road.

The sound of charge was stirring.

Shan Cailiang, deputy commander of Tianqiao's army, saw Qiu Muke launching an attack, and also led his soldiers to rush out of the dense forest.

He was quite young, about thirty years old, but he was already considered an old senior in the army. He joined the army at the age of sixteen, and then after the small court was displaced overseas for more than half a year, it was not until Zhao Dongting seized power in the vicinity and revolted against the Yuan army that he gradually accumulated military achievements and became the centurion of the army.

Later, this young centurion, who was young but quite ideal, studied hard in the army again.

He is not the kind of talented person. He has never read a book before. It took him five years to succeed in becoming a Jinshi of the Confucian general. In this process, the efforts he put in are naturally unimaginable.

But he also appeared in the field of vision of Chen Diaoyan and others because of this.

After he became a general of Confucianism, Chen Diaoyan promoted him to the deputy commander of the Seventh Regiment in just half a year. Then, he has become the deputy commander of the Tianqiao Army, which is a success and fame.

Even though there are outstanding Confucian generals and powerful generals in the Song Dynasty every year, there are only a handful of people who can have such a good position as talented person.

As he and Qiu Muke led their troops out at the same time, the Yuan army on the official road became a little panicked.

Before the confrontation began, the enemy was attacked by the enemy. This situation was undoubtedly extremely passive.

The chief general in the army quickly shouted: "Let the array! Welcome the enemy!"

The military flag is shaking.

The Yuan army soldiers followed, but perhaps because they were too frightened, they seemed a little panicked.

The vanguard general also quickly rode his horse towards the army, trying to stabilize the situation.

The gunshots rang.

The explosion of thunder thunder also sounded.

Hiding in the dense forests made the soldiers of Detianqiao's army unable to use grenade launchers, but just thunder was enough to make these Yuan soldiers frightened.

The fight started like this.

The soldiers of Tianqiao Army took the lead and saw these Yuan troops scattered, they were full of momentum.

The old soldiers even led the way.

In the Song army, the head of each enemy army meant a generous reward.

Zhao Dongting has worked hard to develop the Song Dynasty economy over the years, and the imperial court has not known how much money it has earned. But until now, there is no spare money in the treasury. Apart from improving people's livelihood in various places, Zhao Dongting has used almost all the money to build the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. It can be imagined how big it was.

As the imperial guards who wanted to charge for the Song Dynasty, Zhao Dongting invested more than several times the money that the defenders had.

Although it cannot be said that the soldiers of the imperial guards can have no worries about food and clothing if they kill a few heads, as long as they can reach a certain level of military merit in the army and do not spend money very much, their savings will definitely support them to go back and carry out other business by the end of their service.

Zhao Dongting came from later generations, and most of the money from the Song Dynasty treasury was used on ideas.

On the periphery of the Yuan army formation, soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

The old soldiers who rushed to the front of Tian Qiaojun were even more like wolves and tigers.

They are old soldiers no matter how they say they are, and they can't be embarrassed in front of the new recruits.

More than 10,000 soldiers from Tianqiao's army, including the special regiment, had a total of ten regiments. At this time, even the grenade launchers and the sky-rushing gunners rushed up with the dragon guns.

Even the fireheads in the army joined the battle ranks.

This is Zhao Dongting’s elite military policy.

In the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, even if they were horse-raising horses, they were still strong men who could carry guns to the battlefield.

The annual political review and assessment are enough to make the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty seek excellence.

The long Yuan army gradually became even more scattered.

Even just now, a veteran was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, or simply ran away and became a deserter.

They are all people with "experience", and even more vicious than some generals. At this time, they realized that defeat is inevitable.

They fought for wars just for food, and they didn't have to pay their lives for it.

After all, the Yuan army is no longer the elite cavalry that had emerged from the grassland with the momentum of sweeping across the Eight Desolations.

In order to expand rapidly, Kublai Khan continued to recruit soldiers, but at the same time he forgot to appease the Han people, and even spared no effort to exploit them, which had long laid hidden dangers for the Yuan army.

Although decades have passed, these Han soldiers did not realize that they would die for the Yuan Dynasty.

Of course, most soldiers still obey military orders and resist the soldiers of Tianqiao's army on the spot.

But they are unable to recover the decline.

The soldiers of Tianqiao Army had more firearms, more advanced, had higher combat quality, higher morale, and far more enlightenment than the Yuan army. All aspects suppressed these Yuan army.

From the beginning of this Yuan army's appearance here, they were actually defeated.

If not, Feng Hebi would not have proposed to Zhang Guangbao that the soldiers of Tianqiao Army would come to block the Jiuzhai Yuan army in the east of Weizhou City.

The combat effectiveness of the army is not just about equipment. Even the Yuan army with firearms cannot be compared with the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. It can only be said that it is more difficult for the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty to eliminate them than before.

This is destined to be a crushing battle.
