At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 202 Fighting wits and courage
"All are unified, all are unified~"

Zhang Wangbei opened his eyes and saw the bloody face of the guard, and subconsciously stood up.

"Du Tong, I will take you down." The guard said urgently.

"Don't worry about me. Pack up your guns. Don't let the Tartars take them!" Zhang Wangbei said.

"Capital, if you don't leave, the Tatars will come!" the guard said anxiously.

"The country's most important weapon is more important than your life and my life, go!" Zhang Wang Beida shouted.

The guard gritted his teeth and turned back to pick up the musket.

There was a handful at the back, but its owner held it tightly in his hand, unable to pull it out in a hurry.

"Throw them down with guns and men, don't delay!" Zhang Wangbei shouted.

As a result, both the man and the gun were dragged to the side and thrown down.

Zhang Wangbei pushed away the two bodyguards on his body. He could only survive because of the bodyguards of his bodyguards. This was not the time to grieve and immediately went to find the musket.

Of the thirty musketeers and more than two hundred infantry, only five or six were able to move at this time, and there were still ten or twenty who were injured and unable to move.

Ten is not one.

At this moment, the Yuan army emerged from the horse path.

"kill……"

bang bang bang~
Yuan Bing was immediately pushed back.

Zhang Wangbei looked back and saw the musketeers standing on the ladder, placing their guns on the wall and firing.

After finishing the shot, he immediately handed the gun to the person below to reload and load it. More than 30 people also felt like they were shooting continuously.

On the horse road, Shi Libo shouted: "Charge forward and be sure to grab the weapons!"

"When the army is advancing, we must seize the weapons. Those who succeed will be made marquises!" Bo Luohuan added: "We will fight all the troops, and we will not hesitate to lose Xiangyang!"

Grass?Marquis?It wasn't long before the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and those who were not relatives of the emperor were only knighted after death, but there were no marquises alive, even Bo Luohuan himself was not able to be knighted.

No one doubted his promise.

The guns and artillery made the Yuan army doubt life from top to bottom, and everyone thought that a real thing was worth the price.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty roared towards the horse road to kill, and some smart people set up ladders to find another way.

bang bang bang~
The sound of gunfire continued, and more than 30 ladders were erected. A group of Song soldiers climbed up the city, searching for muskets and wounded people under the cover of muskets.

"There's still a handful left, a handful left!" As soon as Yu Zhanchi shouted, he saw a black shadow falling from the sky.

"This side is ready, what about the other side?" Yu Zhanchi shouted.

"All found, nothing missing." Lieutenant General Zhang Chengqian replied.

"Retreat!" Yu Zhanchi gave the order, and the Song army retreated like a tide, handing over the city wall to the Yuan army.

When they noticed that the gunfire had stopped, Yuan soldiers rushed forward in a swarm, trying to find the muskets. However, they were crowded together and before they could even bend down, they saw more than a hundred black dots flying down the city wall.

"Not good, Tianlei!"

Amid the exclamations, a roar rang out, and Yuan Bing was enveloped.

Bo Luohuan on the bell tower saw it clearly, and punched the wall angrily, and cursed: "Zhi Niang thief, so treacherous!" It was already dark, and the Song army withdrew its troops back to the camp. Liu Shiyong summoned the generals to discuss tactics.

"Today, the city wall was broken. However, the first climbers suffered 56 casualties. General Zhang Wangbei was seriously injured and [-] musketeers were injured, all because the Tartars covered the city wall with thunder. Do you have any countermeasures?" Liu Shiyong asked after summarizing the battle situation.

"The sky thunder hand is hidden behind the city wall, and there are trebuchets. Guns and artillery can't reach it. There is nothing we can do." Tang Yongqin said: "Today, the tunnel under the city has been prepared. We should collapse the wall and let the guns and cannons hit the city directly. No matter the sky thunder hand or the sky thunder hand, there is nothing we can do." There is no place to hide even if you fire back and forth."

Yu Zhanchi said: "A high tower can be erected outside the city with musketeers on it to suppress the inside of the city and completely control the city wall."

"If necessary, set fire to the city to force the Tartars to stay away from their houses so that they can control the near side of the city wall." Yuan Dazhong said.

The Yuan army was covered by thunder. He jumped off the city wall and was caught by the soldiers below. Others had dislocated and fractured arms, but he was unscathed. It must be said that he was very lucky.

The Song army was discussing, and the Yuan army was also discussing. All the generals below Bo Luohuan gathered in the commander's mansion, including Zhang Honggang.

His father and son led an army to counterattack the city wall, but they were overwhelmed by Song Jun Tianlei. If Zhang Xi hadn't pushed him off the driveway, he might not have been spared. However, Zhang Xi himself was blown into a broken sack. It’s gone.

"The city wall is unobstructed, and a small number of soldiers can be on guard. When the Song army comes to the city, they will be blasted with thunder from the sky."

"You can plant gunpowder at the foot of the wall. If you really can't hold it, all of them will be blown up, and there will be a lot of damage."

"The city wall is difficult to defend, so we should focus on the inside of the city, prepare more trenches and fortresses, and decide the outcome of street battles with the Song army."

The generals brainstormed and came up with many effective suggestions. Bo Luohuan accepted them all and made arrangements.

The next day, seeing that the number of yuan soldiers at the head of the city had dropped significantly, the yuan army really reduced the frequency of firing artillery, only for deterrence.

Seeing the Song army building a wooden tower outside the city, Boluo Huan immediately sent archers and crossbowmen to the city to harass them.

After suffering a loss, Liu Shiyong immediately sent out musketeers to suppress it.

At this time, the range of the musket is smaller than that of the crossbow. However, the damage of the crossbowman to heavy armor is limited, while the musketeer basically shoots one.

The cultivation of elite archers is really too difficult, otherwise the sharpshooters in the Yuan army would not have such a high status.

Bo Luohuan was dizzy with a sap in the head, and when he withdrew the crossbowmen, he saw the future trend more clearly.

"...muskets and artillery will be the masters of the future. Fortunately, the Song army has a narrow territory and insufficient resources, so the country still has room for maneuver.

I heard that when the Jin people invaded the south, some people from the Song Dynasty used bamboo as a tube, filled it with gunpowder and used stone pellets to hurt the enemy. However, the gunpowder was not very powerful and the bamboo tube was not very strong, so it has not been passed down to the world.

Nowadays, people in the Song Dynasty use ferocious gunpowder and use copper cast pipes to obtain guns and shoot lead pellets, which are very powerful. The country should recruit good craftsmen to make them.

In addition, I discovered that the general of the Song Army has something that can be seen from a distance, and its significance is equally important. I hope the Great Khan will inspect it. "

Bo Luohuan put down his pen and ordered the left and right to copy more than ten copies. They were all packed in bamboo tubes and sealed with wax to ensure that there was no leakage. After that, he ordered the soldiers to dive and send them to Fancheng.

When the Han River flows through Xiangyang, it turns a corner and forms a small "ji". Xiangyang is a point inside, which is equivalent to the word "fan". The Song army moved horizontally at this point. With the advantage of the navy, the Song Dynasty The army has surrounded Xiangyang.

If you want to attack Xiangyang, you must attack Fancheng first. This was the strategy of the Yuan army back then. The Song army connected the north and south with a pontoon bridge, allowing Xiangfan to form a whole. Now the Song army relies on its water advantage to directly attack Xiangyang and leave Fancheng alone.

As long as the messenger crosses the Han River and reaches Fancheng, he can send the secret message back to Dadu.

It's just not easy, because unlike other places, the Song Army here is constantly patrolling, and even those who are proficient in water cannot guarantee to swim there, so Bo Luohuan sent more than ten people in one go.

In order to cover the messenger, Bo Luohuan selected a hundred dead soldiers and planned to attack the wooden tower in the dark to destroy the suppression of the Song army.

It was just that the Song army had to be on guard. All the one hundred dead soldiers who left the city were killed in battle, but they could not cross the distance of fifty steps.
