On the day of the official siege, He Chian stood in the lookout shed not far from Moutongfu City, preparing to observe the upcoming siege drama.
There was more than He Chian in the lookout pan. On the left side of He Chian was Liu Guo, the chief reporter of the Great Song Beijing News, and on the right side was Huang Gan, who represented Zhu Xi to Xinshuai Camp. Now he is also the chief reporter of the Special Administrative Region New News. On Huang Gan's right hand was Liu Xianlun, the chief reporter of the Xiayi Express. Liu Xianlun is Liu Guo's fellow villager, and he is known as the "Luling Erbu" together with Liu Guo, and is now becoming increasingly famous in the cultural and journalism circles.
Liu Xianlun's right hand is Chen Guangya, a reporter from the South Asia New News. The South Asia New News was run by Chen Liang, so it was normal to send reporters. Anyway, Zhao Han and Chen Liang were not vague. Zhao Han had the Xiayi Express and Chen Liang had the South Asia New News. The capture of the Toutiao Prefecture was a key battle to attack Dali. This war naturally attracted the attention of the media. It was natural for various newspapers to send reporters to interview.
At present, these five people are the representatives of the reporters of the five most influential newspapers in the Song Dynasty. Liu Guo represents the "Great Song Beijing News". Since behind him is the court's mouthpiece newspaper, Liu Guo ranked first, so he is naturally expected. "Xinbao" is in the same influence as the "Great Song Beijing News". Naturally, "Xinbao" is ranked second. The New News of the Special Zone ranks third in circulation, and Zhu Xi, a world-famous scholar, is the backstage, and it is also worth it. However, "Xia Yi Express" and "Nanya Xinbao" cannot rank on the newspaper rankings of the Song Dynasty. These two newspapers are not as good as some local newspapers! However, they are very famous, so the treatment is compared with the treatment of the big newspapers, so the five major reporters occupy the best battlefield observation shed.
As for the others, there is no such good treatment. Some pheasant tabloids don’t even have the treatment to watch the battle. The reporters from local newspapers gathered in a reporter area, and a barbed wire was tied in front of them, which is a safe guarantee that is better than nothing.
Duan Jinnan was treated well, and he was also in a lookout shed. The lookout shed was one meter above the ground and even provided a telescope. However, there were two staff officers next to him, and Duan Jinnan didn't care. There were also people wearing alien clothes in this lookout shed. Among them were people from Jinglong Jindian Kingdom. The Jinglong Jindian Kingdom was also called Mengli (pronounced Mengli Kingdom). Speaking of which, Payazhen, the king of Mengli Kingdom, was originally the Yinsheng Jiedushi of Dali Kingdom. Because of the Gao family's chaos,
Payazhen left Dali and then expanded everywhere. Now it is said that its country has a population of 8 million and a war elephant of 9,000. The Jinglong Jindian Kingdom was founded twelve years ago. It is impossible to say that the expansion speed is really amazing. What’s abominable is that Jinglong Jindian Kingdom also held the Jin thighs of the Song Dynasty, so Dali Kingdom naturally could not do anything. Duan Jinnan saw this situation and knew that the people of Jinglong Jindian Kingdom must be watching the direction of the war. No matter whether the Mengli Kingdom sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, or maybe they want to attack Dali with the Song Dynasty, there is no good thing.
In fact, not only Mengli Kingdom sent people, but also from Qi Kingdom and Luo Family Ghost Kingdom, there were people who came to watch the battle.
The reporters were naturally invited by Mr. Xin. Mr. Xin tasted the sweetness of news and would naturally not miss the best opportunity to establish his authority. So the reporters from major newspapers and tabloids all came on the battlefield, and they didn't know what a siege would look like.
As for the envoys from various countries watching the battle at the last stage, half of them were requested by the envoys, for example, the envoys of Mengli Kingdom took the initiative to ask for the battle. This is not surprising. Given the increasing strength of the Song Dynasty, Mengli Kingdom has truly realized the threat of the Song Dynasty. Now the Song Dynasty sent troops to Dali Kingdom, or the next one, Mengli Kingdom. Zheng Dashi wanted to build the Belt and Road Initiative and connect it with the Kra Isthmus with the road of Mengli Kingdom. That is not certain. Who knows what Zheng Dashi thought! Therefore, Mengli Kingdom must understand the combat power of the Song Dynasty, and then choose its own countermeasures.
As for the Qi Kingdom and the Luo Family Ghost Kingdom, Xin Shuai invited the battle. These two countries are the surviving countries of the Song Dynasty. They are located at the border of Guizhou and Yunnan in later generations. In the past few years, these two small countries have been in a bullish position, but they are not as strong as the Song Dynasty. Occasionally, they will have conflicts with the Song Dynasty and sometimes meet with Dali Kingdom. However, in the past two years, the two small countries have become much more honest. In order to make them more honest, Xin Shuai specially invited the two countries to send representatives to watch the battle, and the scene of killing chickens for monkeys was staged.
There were no envoys watching the battle in Bagan. It seemed that after the Song Dynasty took over Dali Kingdom, Song Pu would have a battle. In this regard, the Mengli Envoy secretly rejoiced that it would be better to cause trouble to the west. It would be better for the Song Dynasty to not directly point to the Mengli Kingdom.
It is impossible not to say that the preparations for the siege battle are quite cumbersome. Liu Guo's reporters and audiences often use telescopes to watch the situation in front of the battlefield. They saw that the siege equipment was constantly moving forward, and even tractors were ripping with black smoke. Yes, there was an iron plate in front of the tractor, and the bows and arrows were shooting on it, which was very lively.
However, that's it. As time goes by, the long-range confrontation ahead is not good, and the wonderful war has not begun. Damn! This foreplay is really too slow! So the good reporters began to find topics to chat.
Among the five people, Huang Gan was always depressed. When the other four were chatting very lively, Huang Gan looked bitter and was completely absent-minded.
Liu Guo turned his head to Huanggan Road:
"Brother Huang, I'm still thinking about your Pili Chariot. I want me to say that the Pili Chariot is my secret weapon of the Song Dynasty, which is specially used to crush the Jin soldiers. As for the scumbag soldiers in Dali, there is no need for the Pili Chariot to take off. Brother He, I'm right!"
Huang Gan was unhappy. Of course, Liu Guo knew the reason. This time, he sent troops to Dali, and he was forced to equip the army with six pili chariots built by Zhu Xi. This is because the Privy Council has different opinions on this. Opponents say that how can you use a knives to kill chickens? How can you use a pili chariot to fight Dali? If you don’t need a pili chariot to attack Dali, you need to test the combat power of the pili chariot in actual combat. So the compromise result is that you have equipped the Southwest Expedition Army with six pili chariots.
According to the plan, the Pili chariot was launched in the capture of the Toutong Prefecture, but unfortunately, the Pili chariot was too bulky. It weighed more than eight tons and could not pass through the pontoon bridge at all. As a result, the Pili chariot had to stop behind and could not show its strength in the Toutong Prefecture War. This is a great regret.
Of course, there is actually no way to strengthen the pontoon bridge. However, the cost of strengthening the pontoon bridge is a bit high. Finally, I reported to Dashuai Xin. When Xin Shuai saw that in order to make those bulky guys appear, he had to waste a lot of time in order to make those bulky guys appear. Finally, Xin Shuai canceled the role of the Thunder Chariot with just one sentence, which made Huang Gan angry at one time, but Xin Shuai's decision also made sense, so Huang Gan could only sulk himself.
He Chian also knew about this, but Huang Gan seemed to regard Mao's group as a competitor. He Chian was not easy to respond, so obviously he could not stimulate Huang Gan anymore. To talk about those iron turtles, He Chian felt that there was no need to show off now. Originally, the reason was obvious. Tanks and armored vehicles were used to restrain Jin soldiers in the decisive battle of the plains, and one thing was better to use, but it was not suitable for use on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. To be honest, it was better to install a baffle on the Mao's tractor!
He Chian had to talk about him:
"Sin Shuai thinks it's more practical to explode the city wall. Xin Shuai has been in Wugang Holdings for two years. Not to mention anything else, the group of people under him who do blasting are not as good as anyone. Haha!"
Everyone knew what He Chian said. This time, Xin Shuai led his troops to fight and recruited a group of mining blasters and miners under his command, forming a group of their own army. This is Xin Shuai's direct line, and blasting the city wall is the best show of Xin's army.
"Haha, what I mean is, it seems that it is really a blast. Didn't it mean to engage in air strikes? Air strikes are just coming!" Chen Guangya seemed to be looking forward to seeing a wonderful siege show. It would be better to see a bunch of colorful balloons rising up from the sky, and then various firearms are rumbling and rumbling, with the sound and light effects that are the best. So the Dali army scattered, and the Song Dynasty soldiers descended from the sky, and then drove the city in one fell swoop.
"I heard that the siege tactics this time are neither blasting the city wall nor aerial strikes. I heard that it is the iron armored ladder tactics of the engineers! The iron armored ladder of the engineers is said to be amazing. A long corridor like an iron box is built on the city wall. The corridor is covered with steel plates, and the arrows are naturally unable to do anything. Then the soldiers of the Song Dynasty came out of the corridor, and a burst of bullets swept across, and they could seize the city head in a flash." Liu Xianlun was originally a fan of the Pili Chariot, but unfortunately the Pili Chariot could not appear. However, as a fanatical steel fan, Liu Xianlun felt that directly putting the floating bridge steel bridge on the city head was the best solution, not to mention that such a visual effect was shocking enough.
"In my opinion, cannons can solve the problem best. When a cannon is blasted, all city walls will be ruined." Liu Guo is a complete cannonist.
He Chian couldn't help but find it funny. Haha, bragging about this job is very easy, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to the show.
"Hey! What's the situation? The Dali Army actually left the city! Is this going to fight to the death!"
The five people had only two telescopes. Liu Guo snatched the telescope from Liu Xianlun, and He Chian handed the telescope in his hand to Huang Gan.
"I said, it would be wrong if these Dali troops did not respond at all. Since ancient times, defending the city, you cannot just defend the city to death. Counterattack is necessary. However, you usually have to wait for the siege side to attack for a long time before launching a counterattack. What a crazy thing happened to Gao Prime Minister, and he actually launched an attack as soon as the war started. Isn't this asking for death?"
"Reporter Liu Da, this is just a tentative attack. Look, there are only a thousand cavalrymen. Their intention is to fight if they can win, and leave if they can't win." Chen Guangya teased.
The Dali army lacked flattery in the Song Dynasty, so it dispatched a thousand cavalry to attack. The first is of course a tentative attack, and the second is to prevent the Song Dynasty from continuously transporting the siege equipment to the moat. In the eyes of Gao Xiangguo, he could not sit still and wait for death. If he had a tentative attack, he could at least disrupt the rhythm of the Song Dynasty's siege.
