Chapter 204 The Sorrow of Wuzhou (I)

But some people pondered: "Marson, General Shu Mo said bluntly that the army had no food at this time. How should we hold on until the army came to rescue?"

Ali Hague chuckled and said, "Station the city first. If we really can't defend it, we will abandon the city and let the Song army chase our horses. After we leave the city, we will go east and join the army of Marshal Du as soon as possible. At that time, the Song army will be destroyed. Marshal Du has a 100,000 army, and it will take no time to destroy Wuzhou. As long as we hold on for half a month, no, as long as we hold on for ten days, we will be able to turn defeat into victory in this battle!"

The more he said, the happier he became, with his waist straight and his eyes full of firmness.

Some of the generals quickly agreed, while others quietly thought about it.

Ten days is the best situation. Judging from the current situation of the army, I am afraid that even ten days may not be able to hold on.

However, after they returned to the military camp, they immediately informed the three armies of the army. This finally made the dispersed morale slightly condensed.

It is already a blessing in disgrace to get this news before the Song army sieges the city.

That night, there was a rare fact that no soldiers in Lipu County mutiny again.

The next morning, the Song army outside the city rushed towards the city gate, preparing to attack the city.

At the front were neatly tidy shield soldiers. They were not the kind of swords and shield hands, but special shield soldiers. The shields they held were more than one meter high. About five hundred meters away from the gate of Lipu County, the army stopped and the tail was not seen. The shield soldiers set up shields in front, and the siege cars, catapults, etc. were slowly pushed out of the military formation.

Zhao Dongting personally took charge of the central army, and next to the chariot were the drum formation and the golden formation.

Several female carriages were also on the left and right, and the flag soldiers stood high on the female carriages, ready to convey Zhao Dongting's orders at any time.

And the four armies in the front, back, left and right also have such command centers.

Su Quandang commanded the imperial guards in front of the palace, whose number of people increased to 20,000, were in charge of the front army. The flags were waving, swords and guns were everywhere, and the murderous aura was ready to attack the city at any time.

On the city wall, the Yuan army soldiers looked at the Song army all over the mountains and fields, and quickly pulled their bows and arrows, waiting for the battle.

Although their troops were higher than the Song army, they could not squeeze so many people on the top of the city. Seeing so many people in the Song army, they did feel pressured.

What scared them the most was the dozens of dark little things next to the Song army's catapult car.

Grenade launcher.

Although there are not many shells in the Song army, there are still more than a dozen.

Because of the news that Boyan came to support, the letter of persuasion to surrender failed to completely disintegrate the Yuan army. These more than ten shells became Zhao Dongting's next killer move.

At the same time, outside Wuzhou City, there were also large troops siege the city. However, the Yuan army was siege, and the Song army was guarding the city.

Dozens of Yuan army marched forward in a mighty manner, and the horns kept ringing in the army. The leader of the general stood on the chariot with silver armor, holding a spear, and his face was solemn.

This person was not Boyan, the marshal of the Yuan army to conquer Song capital, but Kong Yuan, the vanguard of the Song Dynasty who was appointed as General Wuyi.

Kong Yuan, whose courtesy name was Yanheng, was born in Xingyan Village, Xinhe County. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has extraordinary talent. At the age of seventeen, he was summoned to join the Yuan army as a soldier. He then went to war with the army and made many military achievements. He was appointed as the general commander of the army.

In the 11th year of Yuan Dynasty, he attacked Song Dynasty in a large-scale manner, Boyan was the marshal of the capital, Kong Yuan was the vanguard, promoted General Wuyi, marched into Jiangnan, and now stationed troops in Guangnan East Road.

There were only a few civil rebels left in the entire Guangnan East Road, and even the Guangzhou City, which was previously captured by the commander Ling Zhen and the transshipment judge Wang Daofu, had been captured again by the Yuan army. Ling Zhen and Wang Daofu became wandering troops and could only deal with the Yuan army in the Guangnan East Road, which was difficult to become a general trend.

When this happened, Zhang Shijie, who was in Leizhou, was so scared that he was sweating all over, and was very afraid. However, he was very impressed by Zhao Dongting's actions of defending Benzhou. If he had really listened to him and led his people to Yashan, he would have been destroyed by the Yuan army after the city of Guangzhou was destroyed.

Zhao Dongting insisted on not going to Yashan, which could be said to have escaped the death disaster.

As the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, Boyan led the central army to occupy 250,000 troops to control the civilian rebels. At this time, he only needed a little force to deal with the civil rebels. After receiving the letter of help from Ali Hague, he immediately sent Kong Yuan, a Han general who was good at fighting, to seize Wuzhou and rush to Ali Hague to help.

People like Kong Yuan who were born in the Yuan Dynasty were not surrendered to the Southern Song Dynasty, but were not discriminated against in the Yuan court.

Although Kong Yuan was not as loyal to the Yuan court, he was also loyal to the Yuan court.

Leading his army to hundreds of meters in front of Wuzhou City, he raised his gun and ordered the three armies to "stop!"

Dozens of Yuan army formations slowly stopped, and the solemn aura rushed into the sky.

They used a thousand people as a formation. Looking roughly, they were afraid that there were 60,000 or 70,000 people, horses, and infantry.

Kong Yuan was tall and thin, but his eyes were extremely aggressive, with the wildness of the Yuan general. His eyes slowly swept across the towering Wuzhou city walls, and the guard camps with steep mountains below the sides, with a hint of clarity in his eyes, and then he ordered: "The army took turns to attack the city without taking into account the mountain villages on both sides, just take the city gates. He ordered the navy to attack the Song army's water camps at the same time, without seeking to break the camps, just restrain their troops."

"Abide by the order!"

Several messengers waiting beside the chariots led the order and left.

Kong Yuan looked at the city again.

Judging from the arrangement of the mountain and water villages, the Song general who guarded the city had some skills. But Kong Yuan felt that he was still secretly secretly, and the Song army was only ten thousand people. The Yuan army only had to break the city gate, and Wuzhou would be lost. This mountain and water village seemed useful, but in fact, it was useless except that it could annihilate more Yuan troops. Once the city gate was broken, it would become a decoration.

As for the towering city wall, it is even more useless.

Kong Yuan marched from Guangzhou to Wuzhou, and the army did not carry much siege equipment, not even a stone castle or an arrow tower, but only a siege hammer and a small number of ladders.

He had known about the situation in Wuzhou for a long time and had already made up his mind to get the city gate. Although the casualties would be greater, it was also the fastest way to break the city.

The city gate must be the most tightly defended place in the Song army, but at the same time, it is also a weakness. Choose the strong position and attack it, and use the strong to defeat the strong, and the Yuan army will win.

On the top of the city, Qin Han and Wanyan Zhang stood on the edge of the wall. Qin Han still looked indifferent, while Wanyan Zhang was a little solemn, "Military advisor, the Yuan army is so powerful that it is several times or even ten times that of our army. Can we really stop them?"

Qin Han answered the question irrelevantly, "Wuzhou City is a majestic city..."

But he was right. The height of the city wall of Wuzhou City is even the Jingjiang Mansion of Guangxi. After all, this is a key military base. Countless dynasties from ancient times to the present have no idea how many times the city wall has been raised and widened.

Wanyan Zhang frowned, "It's true that Wuzhou is majestic, but our army's forces are so scattered, you even dispatched 4,000 to guard the water camp, and two thousand each guard the mountain camp. There are less than 2,000 people at the main city gate. Even if the people help you, can you stop the Yuan army?"
