The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1009 Fuzhou City Battle ([-])

Their expressions were tense, but their eyes were firm.

In the sky, several yuan army hot air balloons that broke through the defense line turned into fireballs one after another.

After all, they could not break through the city easily.

Nearly a hundred soldiers gathered in the urn above the city gate, and they kept throwing thunder.This caused those Yuan armies who went forward one after another to be annihilated in the smoke and dust.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even real martial arts masters, I am afraid that they will not be able to break through the gate of the city at this moment.

In just over ten minutes, no Yuan army dared to risk their lives to attack the city gate.

Song Jun's defense was tougher than they imagined.

It stands to reason that in a city as heavy as Changle County, with few guards in the city, the Song army's resistance on the outer city wall should not be so firm.

But Song Jun resisted so desperately.

Could it be that they plan to stay in the outer city and fail?
In this way, when the outer city is destroyed, the inner city and self city of Changle County will not be easily taken down?
The Yuan army spread under the south wall of Changle County (Fuzhou City), which was several miles long, trying to find a breakthrough point.But under the bombardment of Hong Tianlei, it was still unable to break through the city.

A scout reported the military situation to the ears of A Shu who was in the Chinese army in time.

After hearing this, Ah Shu couldn't help but frown slightly, looking at the city.

Along the south city wall of Changle County, there is only a single city gate, Shunchang Gate, with an urn city to assist defense.He didn't expect that the army could not break through the city wall until now.

How many defenders did the Song army arrange on the top of the city?
General Ba Gen said from the side: "Marshal, are we trying from other city walls?"

A Shu shook his head lightly: "No. To destroy this city, the only way to minimize losses is to concentrate our forces."

He looked at the flames exploding below the city from a distance, "Just wait and see, there is such a sharp weapon as thunder, it is impossible for Changle County City to resist it for a long time."

He knew about how many troops there were in Changle County now.

Not to mention that it was impossible for the Song Army to concentrate all its troops on the southern city wall. Even so, he believed that the army would still be able to blow up a gap under the city wall.

And it only needs to blow up a few gaps, and it will be a matter of course for the army to break through the city.

The south city wall of Changle County is nearly 3000 meters long, and he does not believe that the Song Army defense at the top of the city can be watertight.

It is only a matter of time before the army breaks through the city.

"Marshal is wise."

Ba Gen heard what A Shu said, so he didn't say anything else.The horse that was sitting down suddenly snorted twice, and seemed a little restless.

He may have felt the murderous intent of the master on his back.

The fighting is still going on.

The Fuzhou garrison on the top of the city is far from densely populated, but fortunately there are many people helping out at the top of the city, so looking around, it seems that there are people everywhere.

People with different expressions and appearances were running on the city wall.

Only a handful of them dared to go to the edge of the city wall and throw mines down. Most of them used earth trucks to help transport thunderbolts, kerosene, stones, arrows, etc. in the trenches of the city walls.

This has been a huge help.

The soldiers of the Fuzhou garrison were able to concentrate on meeting the enemy on the edge of the city wall.

If it weren't for this, the Yuan army might have broken the city.After all, on average, the city wall that each soldier needs to guard is nearly two meters long.

And the actual situation is not just that.

No general would evenly distribute his forces on the city.In ancient times, wars could not be about offense and defense, there would always be important breakthrough points and defense points.

As far as the city is concerned, the city gate is of course the weakest point.Therefore, Huang Hua deployed the most troops in the city gate and urn city.

At this time, there were nearly two hundred soldiers in the Wengcheng alone.It is conceivable how sparse the soldiers on the rest of the city wall are.

Fortunately, the Yuan army did use the city gate as the main breakthrough point, so his arrangement was wise.

About another 10 minutes passed.

The more than [-] hot air balloons of the Yuan army finally receded slowly after paying heavy damage.

It's not that he didn't dare to continue fighting, but that at this moment, a city wall was completely blown apart.Their cover mission is considered complete.

About 200 meters away from the west side of Shunchang Gate, the base of the wall several meters wide was blasted through by the Yuan army with thunder.

The rubble collapsed.

The walls shake.

A soldier of the Song Army exclaimed: "The city wall has been blasted! The city wall has been blasted!"

While shouting, he ran to the place where the gap appeared, and threw Thunderbolt downward.

There were several yuan soldiers who were about to enter the city with excited faces, but they were annihilated by Hong Tianlei in a blink of an eye.

"kill!"

All around, Yuan soldiers rushed towards here seeing the gap in the explosion.

The soldiers of the Song Army and the common people also gathered here on the city wall.

Someone held up the Shenlong gun and shot at the following.

Some people also threw mines down.

In a short period of time, there were as many as dozens of Yuan army corpses lying inside and outside the gap.

And they were under the city, and it was difficult to achieve any results just by shooting arrows at the Song army on the top of the city.

From the beginning of the siege to the present, the soldiers of the Song army were actually shot and killed by the Yuan army who broke the city, which is almost negligible.

Most of the soldiers who died in battle were killed by thunder from the Yuan army's cannon throwing vehicles.

But in total, it is estimated that there are only two to 300 people.This still counts the wounded.

This is the benefit of defending the city.

Especially when the Song Army's equipment has an advantage, it is able to maximize this advantage of defending the city.

The next one cuts down the soldiers.

In ancient wars, forcible siege is often called the most undesirable method.

Only Ashu knew this, but he was helpless.

He knew that the Song Kingdom would definitely have reinforcements coming to Fuzhou City, and he didn't have much time to use other methods to break the city, so he could only use the simplest and most brutal method.

And for example, the Xin Song and Dali Army at the beginning are actually almost the same.

The current Great Song Dynasty is no longer the Great Song Dynasty in the past. The top and bottom are united, and the military and civilians in the country are extremely cohesive.If you want to destroy the Song Dynasty, it is only possible if you are as powerful as a bamboo.

As long as the Song Army is given enough time, it is impossible for them to destroy the Great Song Kingdom.

Of course, what Duan Qilin and others didn't expect was that even if they attacked Song quickly, they would end up defeated in the end.

They underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Imperial Army.Even with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they can't stand the loss at all.

As a scout reported the news of the breach to Ashu, Ashu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Then under his order, two more Yuan army formations came towards the city of Changle County.

At this time, the southern city wall of Changle County had already been blasted with as many as five gaps.Moreover, there are still Yuan troops outside the city constantly blasting the city wall with thunder.

Gao Tianzong, Che Hongyu and others divided into several groups and left from the city gate, each to block the gap.There are only more than a hundred soldiers in the city gate.

In each gap, there are dozens of guards and soldiers of Fuzhou City.They either held Shenlong blunderbuss, or held bows and arrows, and shot to the ground one by one the Yuan army pouring in from the gap.

For the time being, the Yuan army was still able to break through to the city, so the common people and the righteous men of the Jianghu did not step forward to fight.

But it is conceivable that as there are more gaps in the city wall, they must face the Yuan army directly.

The sound of gunfire at the south city wall of Changle County seemed to never stop.

"coming……"

Huang Hua watched from the top of the city that there was another commotion in the Yuan army. The sky was full of dust, and he uttered two words lightly.

The Yuan army sent troops to attack the city at this time, obviously planning to break through the city wall.

He suddenly raised his binoculars and looked towards the east.Then, it swept across the city.

Of course he knew that with Changle County's current strength, it was much easier to defend the inner city than the outer city.After all, the inner city is much smaller than the outer city.

However, he couldn't do that.

Because in the outer city of Changle County, there are countless Fuzhou people living...

Their homes and their property are all in this outer city.

If Huang Hua did not guard the outer city, it would be tantamount to abandoning all the people living in the outer city.

He couldn't do such a thing, nor... he didn't dare to do it.

Therefore, unless the outer city is really unable to resist, he will never lead his soldiers to retreat to the inner city.

But now, it seems that the critical moment of whether the outer city can be held.

If it can withstand this wave of Yuan army's offensive, the outer city can hold on for a while.If it can't be stopped, then this outer city will change hands.

In the distance to the east of the city wall, more than a thousand soldiers are rushing towards here.

Huang Hua could see that the Yuan army really wanted to use the southern city wall as a breakthrough point, and they were going all out to defend the southern city wall as best they could.

There are thousands of guards on the four city walls in the southeast, northwest, and north of Changle County, and almost all of them were dispatched by him.On the other three walls, there were only a few hundred guards left.
