Chapter 1159 Attacking Kaijiang City (Part 2)
Just as the two armies changed their formation, scouts rushed over from the south and north of Kaijiang City.
When they arrived in the two armies, the scouts shouted loudly: "There are enemies leaving the city! Some enemies leaving the city!"
The Hu Ben Army really planned to go out of the city to counterattack.
Almost at the same time, hot air balloons slowly rose in Kaijiang City.
There are also hundreds of these hot air balloons.
This can be said to be the New Song Dynasty. Dali has never seen any world. Therefore, the hot air balloon that the Song Dynasty did not attach too much importance to was regarded as such a treasure!
Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin were still in the formation. They saw hot air balloons rising in the city, but dozens of soldiers galloped out of the formation.
They headed into the city.
Although the city is still in war, it is unlikely that the Hu Ben Army will directly use artillery fire to cover the city. But they are still guarding.
If the generals of the Hu Ben Army were really at stake, regardless of the cost, regardless of the life or death of the robes that were still fighting under the city, the soldiers of the two armies who attacked the city would inevitably suffer great losses.
This is a very undeserved thing.
The generals of the Hu Ben Army may not necessarily regard the soldiers as treasures, but the generals of the Song Dynasty all valued the soldiers very much. Because they finally trained them.
Except for the old soldiers in the Song Dynasty, the newly added soldiers were selected from the garrison troops of various prefectures. Which one was not an elite?
The remaining sky-rushing gunners in the circular array also began to set up guns.
The hot air balloon is spread out.
The battle in Kaijiang City will enter the final decisive moment.
Not long after, while gunfire was still resounding in the city, two soldiers appeared on the left and right sides of the Song army's round formation.
All the cavalry of the Hu Ben Army left the city.
Perhaps they realized that they would not have any chance of winning when defending the city. In terms of street fighting, their weapons could not resist the Song army's Shenlong gun.
Outside this city, with hot air balloons, and half of the Song army's troops had entered the city, they might be able to destroy these Song cavalry.
After the two armies came around from the side of the city wall, the sound of horns in the army sounded, and without any hesitation, they charged towards the Song army.
Judging from the vastness of its military formation, the number of people is more than twice that of the Song army.
The hot air balloons in the air also spread over the Song army's round formation at this time.
"Split!"
Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin ordered almost at the same time.
The two circular arrays expand outward.
Although this makes its defense no longer as tight as before, it can effectively avoid the lethality of many hot air balloon troops.
Faced with so many hot air balloons, it was obvious that the two of them didn't know whether the remaining sky-rushing cannons in the array could be blocked.
After all, there are only so many sky-storm cannons in each army.
"fire!"
When the Huben Army cavalry was still hundreds of meters away from the round formation, such shouts sounded in the army formation.
On the female carriage, she ordered the flag soldiers to shake the flag in her hand vigorously.
Two hundred grenade launchers fired together again.
Since the Song Dynasty developed to the present, the number of artillery shells in China has undoubtedly accumulated to a terrible level.
Smoke of gunpowder rose everywhere.
The shells exploded in the Hu Ben cavalry formation in the blink of an eye.
Each cannon will more or less take away the lives of several soldiers of the Hu Ben Army.
But the Hu Ben cavalry also responded very quickly.
After experiencing the initial bombardment, their formation immediately spread out. This made the grenade launcher shells unable to hit them as accurately as before.
Countless cavalry rushed towards the two circular formations.
To dozens of meters.
The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty fired.
I saw that in the rolling yellow dust, the Hu Ben cavalry fell down one after another.
But they are still charging forward.
At the same time, the hot air balloons in the sky also approached the sky above the military formation.
The sky-storming cannons in the formation fired together.
The hot air balloon shatters and falls.
The generals of the Hu Ben Army must not be able to see it. At this time, Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin did not have too much solemn expression on their faces.
They have tried such exercises in the army for countless times.
They all knew the combat methods of the troops of the Xinsong, Dali and Yuan dynasty, because they used to fight like this. However, the troops of the Xinsong, Dali and Yuan dynasty may not understand the combat methods of the Song army. If they want to get used to the Song army's extraordinary style of playing, they must pay enough price first. This is like playing mahjong. If you want to become a master, you must have to pay some tuition first.
The combat methods that Zhao Dongting gave to the imperial guards were not something that the Xinsong and other countries could master after the defeats in three or two times.
Fighting is never that easy.
The generals of the Hu Ben Army were undoubtedly a little whimsical.
If they had a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Song army, they would never have attacked the city with such high self-esteem.
The 20,000 imperial guards, not to mention the mere Tiger Army, even the Iron Horse Army may not be able to eat it.
Otherwise, where did Zhao Dongting come from the confidence to guard the whole country with only more than 200,000 imperial guards?
Soon, the Hu Ben Army paid the price for this.
The cavalry's rushing momentum was blocked by the Song army's Shenlong gun.
As they expected, the situation where the army directly annihilated the Song army's round formation did not happen.
With the three levels of protection of grenade launchers, dragon guns, and sky thunder, the Song army formation is not as easy as the cavalry of this era.
The hot air balloon army in the sky was also in an embarrassing situation.
Before they could get over the Song army's circular formation, hundreds of hot air balloons emerged from the two circular formations, blocking them outside the circular formation.
In fact, there are not many hot air balloons that are damaged during the shooting. After all, the power of the rocket is not as huge as the sky-storm cannon shells.
However, the hot air balloons of the Hu Ben Army were greatly damaged by the shooting of the sky cannon.
With the flexibility of hot air balloons, they simply cannot avoid sky-rushing cannons with accurate scales and aiming methods.
The Hu Ben Army, whether it is ground or air force, suffered losses faster than the Song army.
This naturally made the leading generals look unfavorable.
In fact, after the cavalry's rush was blocked, they realized that it was almost impossible to destroy this Song army.
The cavalry in the charge state is still an iron cavalry. The cavalry in the charge guard is a living target.
The battle lasted for less than two quarters of an hour, and a golden sound began to sound in the Hu Ben Army.
The cavalry retreated toward the back like a tide.
Obviously, these generals of the Hu Ben Army were not scheming. Even though they knew they could not do it, they still tried their best to rush forward.
But what they might not have expected was that the Song Dynasty's circular formation was no longer as simple as before.
The sound of gold in the Hu Ben Army had not yet been cut off, and drums were heard in the two circular formations of the Song Dynasty.
Chapter completed!
