137. Decisive Battle Pingnan (seven)
The tunnel that the Yuan army spent more than two months dug was originally dug about two meters deep from the ground. At this time, as the army attacked the city, it continued to dig again.
The elite soldiers in the tunnel finally dug up the tunnel diagonally. Seeing the light, the Song army surrounded it before they could be happy.
As soon as he surrounded him, he shot a few shots and poked the Yuan army soldier who was about to emerge and died in the tunnel.
Then, a groove plate was pressed up.
That's all, the groove pressing plate is the groove pressing plate. There is no need for you to nail nails next to you. Is it so amazing?
The Yuan army in the tunnel realized that something was wrong and rushed upwards, but the cover made of iron bars was sunk, which was hundreds of pounds, and the Song army soldiers were pressing them, so they couldn't move at all. Moreover, the Song army on it kept poking inside with long spears, which made the elite Yuan army scream continuously.
The tunnel that had just been dug through was sealed by the Song army before it could run out.
The Yuan army in front wanted to retreat, but at this time the tunnel was full of Yuan army ready to retreat, where could it be?
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Jun at the entrance of the cave widened his eyes and showed a look of horror.
Song Jun brought firewood over and threw it on the trough board. In an instant, only the dim light of the torch was left in the tunnel.
The fire suddenly rose, but because the firewood was wet, thick smoke came out.
Under the command of the centurion, dozens of soldiers waved huge wooden boards and fanned the thick smoke into the tunnel.
"Ahem!"
Thick smoke rolls.
The elite Yuan army in the tunnel couldn't help but cough in an instant, and tears were soaring from the thick smoke.
The crying father and mother in front wanted to leave the tunnel, but the tunnel was more than two miles long. The soldiers in the back row didn't know and were still rushing forward desperately.
This situation occurred simultaneously in more than ten places in Pingnan County.
I don't know how many Yuan soldiers scolded the Song army for being unethical, but they had to gradually suffocate in the smoke and fell to the ground.
Their death was extremely miserable, their eyes were wide open, their tongues were pulled out, and their faces were so smoked that they could not see their original color.
There were only a few tunnels that were not detected by Su Quandang. Although the Yuan army inside ran out, they were soon discovered by the Beggars who were patrolling the city. Just now, they were surrounded by another army and forced the elite Yuan army back to the tunnel. Then, using the same method, the grooves were blocked and the rabbits were smoked with fireworks.
Because of the short time, the Yuan army that ran out of the tunnel was extremely limited and was soon annihilated by the God Beggar Army.
In this way, the Yuan army dug nearly thirty tunnels underground in Pingnan County, but it was almost incomprehensible and harmed many of its soldiers.
Ali Hague had a total of 130,000 people, 60,000 siege the city, 50,000 were waiting in the camp, and 20,000 elite soldiers were squeezed into the tunnel. At this time, all of these elite soldiers were dizzy. It was not until the other end of the tunnel was filled with smoke that the soldiers behind hurriedly ran out of the cave.
This made the Yuan army, who were waiting outside the tent and preparing to march from the tunnel, confused.
Soon, smoke spread out of the tent and rose slowly in the Yuan army camp.
Thirty authentic exits, all of which were sporting fire with wet firewood. God knows how strong the smoke will be?
The smoke quickly made the air in the tunnel fade, and countless elite Yuan army soldiers suffocated to death, and the bodies were piled up everywhere.
The Beggars' Army at the exit was still suffocating, full of energy.
The commander finally reacted in the Yuan army camp and hurriedly sent his soldiers to report to Marshal Ali Hague.
Zhao Dongting also saw this scene with a telescope on the top of the city and suddenly burst into laughter.
Zhao Da next to him said in confusion: "Master, when will you be so happy?"
Although the Song army is currently at the moment, there are soldiers who are losing their money all the time. The emperor should not have laughed suddenly.
Zhao Dongting handed him the telescope and said, "Look at the Yuan army camp."
Zhao Da respectfully took the telescope, looked over, and his mouth suddenly opened, "Haha, they really marched from the tunnel!"
He smiled much louder than Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting nodded fiercely and shouted: "Soldiers, drive them down!"
Countless Song soldiers shouted loudly, and the arrows became denser.
Some of the scattered arrows rushed to Zhao Dongting, and were blocked by the flying dragon soldiers in the front row with shields. He was standing at a dead corner, but the Yuan army could not hit the catapult.
Zhao Dongting still cherishes his life, especially after several assassinations, he cherishes it even more.
About ten minutes passed, the Yuan army finally heard the sound of gold.
Ali Hague's face turned pale and kept roaring in anger, "Ming Jin to withdraw the troops! Stop the troops!"
He never expected that the Song army had already known that they were digging tunnels and waiting for them in the city.
At this time, Ali Hague felt like a fool, no, it was just like that.
Twenty thousand elites, that's a total of twenty thousand elites, all of them. They are all his elite soldiers. However, these 20,000 elites did not have any effect, and most of them were smoked to death by the smoke.
This almost made Ali Hague vomit blood. He had never suffered such a big loss for more than ten years.
This is a shame, a great shame.
If the Southern Song Dynasty is not destroyed, Ali Hague feels that he has no shame to go back to the mainland even if he lives, it is better to wipe his neck cleanly so as not to be ridiculed.
The military advisor stood beside him and heard the soldiers' reports just now. He was sweating all over, and his back was instantly soaked with sweat.
He didn't dare to say anything, and he took two steps back and lowered his head.
He is now afraid to attract Ali Hague's attention. With Ali Hague's current mood, he might directly draw his sword and kill him to vent his anger.
However, Ali Hague is in no mood to pay attention to him now.
After the rage, he was full of thought about counting the losses of this battle. The tunnel battle failed, and he didn't know if he had enough troops to attack the city.
Soon, under the Pingnan city wall, the Yuan army retreated like a tide, leaving only corpses everywhere.
Song Jun on the top of the city cheered.
Then the cheers quickly spread to the city, and countless people ran out of their homes and went to the streets, cheering.
They heard the soldiers on the top of the city shouting, "The Yuan army has retreated" and "The Yuan army has retreated."
This made the people in the city think that Pingnan City was preserved like this. This is their home, so they are naturally happy.
Countless people knelt on the streets of the city gate, shouting long live the mountain.
The soldiers of the Song army were busy repairing the city walls and strengthening the city gates.
Zhao Dongting also smiled on the top of the city. They won for the first time in the fight.
The Yuan army left a lot of corpses outside the city, probably a lot of them. If there are those in the tunnel, you can imagine that the Yuan army must have been seriously injured this time.
After watching it for a while, Zhao Dongting led the Feilong soldiers back to the government office.
All the people along the way knelt down, and the eyes they looked at Zhao Dongting were filled with countless hopes and expectations.
When the Southern Song Dynasty was about to perish, it finally ushered in a wise and powerful monarch. I don’t know how many years they have been looking forward to.
Over the years, they have regarded themselves as the people of the Song Dynasty, so naturally no one wants to see the territory of the Song Dynasty being occupied by the Yuan army.
Zhao Dongting returned to the government office, his eyes were filled with joy, waiting for the rest of the world to report on the war situation.
On the other side, after making many losses, the Ali Hague army finally retreated to the camp, but their faces were all ugly. Ali Hague looked even more like a cannibalist.
He had always stared at the top of Pingnan in the central army before. Judging from his experience, the Song army would have suffered at most two or three thousand people. But he was afraid to think about the losses of his men and horses. Because of that number, he felt frightened and panicked.
As the head coach, you should not have such emotions.
He rushed back to the coach's tent angrily, sat behind the desk, but couldn't help but feel angry, and raised his hand to overturn the desk.
The short military advisor stood outside the tent, swallowing his saliva, and he really had no courage to enter the tent.
But he was destined to escape this disaster.
Soon, the commander of the Yuan army came in angrily and reported the war to Ali Hague.
The Yuan army's tunnel elite soldiers lost more than 14,000, and the soldiers who attacked the city lost as many as 25,000.
This is a total of 40,000 people.
Ali Hague gritted his teeth, squinted his eyes for a while, and then forced the extreme anger that surged to his chest, shouting out, "Get in."
The military advisor really rolled in and crawled into the tent, knelt on the ground and cried, "The Marshal gave him guilt! The Marshal gave him guilt!"
A gloomy look flashed in Ali Hague's eyes and he slowly said, "You have made plans to cause our army to suffer such damage. Even if I want to forgive you, the general will not spare you." As he said that, he drew out the command arrow and threw it out and said, "Come, pull him down and behead him."
The military advisor cried and shouted, but was dragged out by the soldiers.
A little unbearable flashed in Ali Hague's heart, but it only disappeared in a flash.
It is true that he likes this military advisor quite well, but for such a huge loss, someone must take the blame, otherwise it will damage his prestige as the head coach.
None of the generals in the tent dared to plead for the military advisor.
