Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Now the morale of the entire Xiangyang City has dropped to the extreme, and the faces of a large number of soldiers are full of fear. In the past few days, they are sometimes frightened awake when sleeping, worried about the artillery fire from the Guanzhong army.

If you can no longer do something to boost morale. Then within a few days, their soldiers' emotions will collapse.

These days, many soldiers have begun to break down emotionally. When people face attacks that they cannot understand, they often fall into despair.

"General Wang! I know you are eager to achieve great results, and I also know that you want to share my worries, but now is not the time to attack." Meng Gong, the coach of Xiangyang City, shook his head and said. (Change here whether there is a direct relationship between the protagonist and Meng Gong. Xiaoyun’s mother is a noble lady in the north. I will revise the previous article again in the evening.)
"But Meng Shuai, if we don't go out of the city to fight! The soldiers in the city can no longer bear it.

Now the Mongols are attacking us with artillery fire all day long. Our bows and arrows or crossbows, as well as other cannons, flint cannons, and sky-shattering cannons, cannot reach them at all. "Another general said.

"Yes! Meng Shuai, if we don't think of a way anymore, our morale will completely collapse."

There was no way, the fighting in the past few days was really frustrating. They were completely passive and the enemy did not attack the city at all. They just sent cavalry to wander around the bottom of the city. As long as they dared to climb to the top of the city, then What greeted them was a heavy barrage of artillery fire.

The artillery weapons used by the Guanzhong army were more powerful than those used by the Mongols. The Mongols could only use some trebuchets and fire some explosive packets.

But on the side of the King of Guanzhong, all kinds of advanced gunpowder weapons have been used, and when the cavalry from the city came over, they had to go up to the tower.

After all, you can't guarantee whether the enemy will really attack the city. If they really attack the city, there won't be a single soldier on the tower, and it will be over.

Therefore, even if they were facing the artillery fire of the King of Guanzhong's army, they still had to send some people to the tower.

"Brothers, I also know that everyone is very frustrated in the battle, but I can't help it! The enemy is outside and has the entire Xiangyang City surrounded by water. If we attack rashly, the entire army will probably be annihilated. Now the only way is to hold on. The city, waiting for reinforcements is the last chance." Meng Gong looked at all the generals and said.

He has been stationed in Xiangyang for several years, and has been increasing the nearby city defenses, establishing a complete Xiangfan defense system, as well as the Huaihe River defense system.

If it weren't for the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, Chongqing Prefecture would have been occupied by the Mongols. It is also very good to establish a mountain city defense system in Chongqing.

But a year ago, the Mongolian army broke through Chuzhou City, causing a big gap in the entire Huaihe River defense system.

Meng Gong tried his best to remedy the situation last year, but there was still a huge gap in the defense system.

But what he didn't expect was that Xiangyang City, which he had worked hard for many years to build a complete defense system, would be beaten so badly. He had only been here for a few days, and King Man of Guanzhong had only been here for six days.

During these six days, the Guanzhong army sent some cavalry to harass and shout outside the city. The rest of the time they used various artillery weapons to attack. Without even spending a single soldier, they, the defender of the city, suffered heavy losses.

If this continues, let alone half a year, or even a year. Whether it can last for a month is a big question.

"Meng Shuai, King Guanzhong's artillery is so powerful that our various defensive equipment cannot reach the other side. How long do you think Xiangyang City can hold on?" A young general stood up and said.

"I think it will take up to three months, and it will be over after three months."

"Three months, you think too highly of yourself and underestimate the King of Guanzhong. I think it will be one month at most. In one month, our city will be blown up. The firepower of the Guanzhong army is too fierce." Another middle-aged general spoke.

is not that right? The indiscriminate bombing these days has caused serious damage to many city walls, and the Guanzhong army did not bomb one city gate, but several city gates, hundreds of them each time. Cannon volley fired.

In this situation, let alone three months, it would be difficult to hold on for even one month. The city wall can withstand the guards like them, but the soldiers can't withstand it either.

When two armies are fighting, the most important thing is actually morale. If one side has high morale and the other side has low morale, then the battle does not need to be fought at all. The side with high morale will definitely win.

"You're right. If we don't take any measures, we will indeed be doomed. We must find a way to destroy these artillery pieces of the Guanzhong army." Another veteran also nodded with deep understanding.

At this moment, Meng Gong also knew that the situation was indeed very urgent. If they did not destroy some of the artillery weapons of the Guanzhong army, they would definitely lose this battle.

"General, give me a thousand cavalry, and I will lead them to rush out of the city and sneak attack the Guanzhong camp under the cover of darkness.

If with luck and God's blessing, I can kill Zhang Yong, the king of Guanzhong, then we will win this battle.

Even if they are unlucky and die outside the city, they must destroy all their siege artillery. "The general named Wang knelt on the ground and said.

"The general is also willing to go."

"Good brothers, do you understand? Once you rush out of the city, without the protection of the city wall, you will face hundreds of thousands of Guanzhong troops, and even tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry. You will not be able to come back at all." Meng Gong said.

This time, if you rush out, you will not survive a narrow escape, but ten deaths. It will be impossible to come back.

As long as they rush into the Mongolian camp, they will definitely be surrounded. The Guanzhong army is not like them. The Song Dynasty has a large number of cavalry troops. If you want to use the mobility of the cavalry to make a sneak attack, you must be prepared to use all the cavalry. Be prepared to throw it down.

"Meng Shuai! I am not afraid of death! It is my honor to die for the Song Dynasty. After my death, I ask you generals to take care of my family." The general named Wang knelt on the ground and said.

"Okay! But you can't go out with an army tomorrow. The Guanzhong army is very cunning. The last time they attacked Chuzhou City, a young general led an army to sneak attack, but he fell into the Guanzhong army's trick." Gong said.

The military system of the Guanzhong army is very complete, and the defenses are very tight at night. Although the Guanzhong camp is not too far away from them, if you rush out of the city, you will be immediately discovered by the spies guarding the door.

Then they would blow off the fireworks they carried with them to report this. The defenders in the city were completely unable to stop it.

"Meng Shuai, what do you mean?"

"Tonight you will go out of the city as the main force to sneak attack the Guanzhong Army camp. You must destroy all their artillery weapons. I will arrange three more generals to lead 500 soldiers and horses out of the city to feint attack to cooperate with you." Meng Gong thought. After a moment, he spoke.

This is the safest method, sending multiple cavalry units to carry out harassment.

"Shuai Meng, five hundred people is a bit too small, aren't we? How about sending another five hundred infantry?" a general said.

"No! All those who go out to fight in the city this time must be cavalry, not a single infantryman." Meng Gong shook his head and said.

Are you kidding me? If you want to sneak attack the Guanzhong camp, you will definitely not be able to send any infantry. Sending infantry will mean death, and it will have no effect at all.

"Shuai Meng! The infantry can also attract some firepower for the cavalry troops, allowing the Guanzhong army to disperse some of their forces. In my opinion, the other three groups of troops can each lead another 500 infantry, and gather a thousand people out of the city!" The bearded general stood up and spoke.

There is no way, the Song Dynasty is now located in the south, and there is a lack of war horses. It hurts to lose one of the war horses. General Wang's thousand men and horses should not be able to come back, but the remaining cavalry should have a chance. Running back.

Sacrifice some of the infantry and bring them back is the most correct choice.

Anyway, for infantry, as long as there are still strong men in the city, you can recruit more at any time, but for cavalry, you have to use one less.

"Well! If that's the case, then each team will send an additional 500 infantrymen, all of whom are swordsmen, to support General Wang and raid the Guanzhong camp tonight." Meng Gong gritted his teeth and said.

There is no way, as a commander, as a general, sometimes sacrifice is inevitable.

Losing a beloved general and thousands of soldiers and horses, if they can destroy the firearms of the Guanzhong army, or destroy some of the weapons, it will be good for them.

"Shuai Meng, please rest assured that I will fulfill my mission. I will die in the Guanzhong Army camp tonight." The young general named Wang knelt on the ground and said.

When Meng Gong saw this scene, he shed tears at the corners of his eyes. The Song Dynasty has never lacked capable generals, and all of them dared to fight. But it will never be reused.

Even if they win on the battlefield, what awaits them is not a reward, but further suppression, from the civil service group.

That night, thousands of troops gathered together, several city gates were opened at the same time, and these troops rushed out at the same time, rushing towards the Guanzhong camp with great momentum.

The scout troops under Zhang Yong also discovered the situation immediately and immediately set off the fireworks they wore to notify the camp that the enemy troops were coming to harass them.

After seeing the red fireworks, the troops from the Guanzhong Camp immediately mobilized. "There are red fireworks, and the enemy is attacking. There are red fireworks, and the enemy is attacking at night."

"All night watch soldiers, get up, prepare to defend, prepare to defend!" The Guanzhong Camp immediately took action after seeing the red fireworks.

The Guanzhong Army has strict regulations, and there are several ways to deal with night attacks. It is a required course for every mid-level and senior officer. All soldiers also conduct enemy camp attack drills during training periods.

In order to prevent enemy night attacks, there are five thousand people in the Guanzhong camp every night wearing armor and holding soldiers. These people will react immediately when they see red fireworks.

Then the rallying horn is sounded, and the sleeping soldiers will immediately put on their clothes, carry their own weapons, and follow their generals to build fortifications.

Zhang Yong, who was sleeping soundly, was also woken up.

"Report! Report back to the King of Guanzhong. The scouts in front have sent news that several cavalry units are attacking the camp."

"Yes! I understand. Who is the general in charge of the night shift today?" Zhang Yong asked.

In addition to the five thousand armored soldiers, there is also a general on night shift who cannot sleep all night and must wear armor to guard the camp all night.

You can go to rest during the day the next day.

"Avoid the King of Guanzhong, the general guarding tonight is General He Daoyong!" The ordering soldier knelt on the ground and said.

"Well! You go and inform General He and ask him to destroy all the enemy troops in the outer camp. No enemy troops can rush into the inner camp. Go and inform other generals.

Let General He take the head of the general who led the Southern Song army this time. "Zhang Yong said while putting on his clothes.

The messenger nodded and quickly exited the camp.

At this time, the Guanzhong Camp received an enemy attack alert, but within just a few minutes, defense forces had been organized.

Some other soldiers had also put on their clothes and started to move in an orderly manner under the leadership of their respective generals.

"General He! The King of Guanzhong has an order, asking you to annihilate all enemy troops in the outer camp and take the head of the opponent's general." The messenger came to He Daoyong and said.

"Yes! I understand. You go back and report to the King of Guanzhong, saying that the last general will definitely live up to the king's orders. In a short time, I will take the enemy general's head and return to the King of Guanzhong." He Daoyong said.

If you dare to come and attack the Guanzhong camp at night, you are really tired of living and seeking death. Those who dared to do this before have grown tall grass on their graves now.

At this time, there was a cry of killing outside the camp, and a young general wearing black armor and holding a spear took the lead in the charge.

After seeing the brightly lit Guanzhong camp and the large number of soldiers in armor, the young general in black armor trembled in his heart.

damn it. They moved fast enough. After rushing out of the city gate, they rushed to the Guanzhong camp without stopping, but they didn't expect that the enemy was still ready to fight.

Don't these Guanzhong troops even sleep at night? Are everyone wearing armor?

"The enemy still has five hundred steps, the enemy has four hundred steps, shoot arrows from three hundred steps." A soldier standing on the tower watching. After seeing the Southern Song army entering the attack range, he immediately gave the order.

A large number of arrows rained down from the sky.

The Southern Song army suffered heavy losses immediately. Some of the infantrymen who followed in the rear row fell down with their heavy swords, and many cavalrymen in the front row were also shot off their horses.

"The brave man wins when we meet on a narrow road! All the soldiers follow me and charge to kill!" The young general surnamed Wang roared, picked up his spear, led the remaining cavalry troops into the Guanzhong camp, and then began to look for the location of the artillery.

But unfortunately, after rushing into the camp, he only saw rows of soldiers holding shields, spears and a strange weapon aimed at them.

"shot!"

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
All the Southern Song cavalry who rushed to score were shot to the ground in an instant. Blood spurted out from the chest, and some war horses were shot and fell to the ground, wailing continuously.

"The first row changes bullets, the second row fires, and the third row prepares."

The Guanzhong army would not give them any chance to breathe. Soon, another group of people changed their bullets and fired another salvo.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
A large amount of white smoke appeared, even blocking the line of sight. The Southern Song army had just rushed into the camp. Already suffered heavy losses.

"Ah! Ah! The Guanzhong army knows sorcery, they know sorcery."

"This is witchcraft! This is witchcraft! Their heads suddenly exploded, and their chests suddenly exploded."

Some cavalry and infantry who were following in the rear and had just rushed in were startled when they saw this strange scene.

They only saw the soldiers in front rushing forward, and then their heads exploded one by one, and a ball of blood exploded from their chests, and they fell to the ground dead.

These Guanzhong troops did not release their bows and arrows. Just aim a black iron pipe at them, and the person dies.

"Don't retreat, don't be afraid!" Several Southern Song generals tried to calm the soldiers' emotions.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" A large number of Guanzhong troops holding shields in front began to beat the shields, putting further psychological pressure on the Southern Song army.

"Surrender without killing, surrender without killing." All the Guanzhong troops began to shout loudly.

At this time, the gate of the Guanzhong Camp has also been closed.

The soldiers who were resting behind had also put on their armor and rushed out.

Now, these Southern Song troops who rushed into the Guanzhong Army camp were unable to fly.

"Damn it!" The young general surnamed Wang shouted angrily with a spear in his hand.

Thousands of troops rushed in, only to be ambushed by the enemy. What's the matter? No one revealed their intelligence. Is the Guanzhong army's reaction ability so fast?

It only took them a stick of incense to rush in from outside the city. In such a short period of time, the Guanzhong army could complete an encirclement.

How is this possible! How is this possible?
Someone sent the news of their sneak attack to the Guanzhong army in advance. This is impossible. Although the entire Xiangyang City is surrounded by water, the defense in Xiangyang City is still very good. If no one opens the city gate, there is no way to leave Xiangyang City. .

Moreover, tonight's raid was just decided at noon, and they only selected the soldiers at night.

"We surrender, we surrender, don't kill us." Seeing that they were surrounded, some Southern Song soldiers immediately dropped their weapons and began to surrender.

"You bastards, who asked you to surrender! Who asked you to surrender! Get up."

"Hmph! Capture those who surrender first, and annihilate the rest. I'll chop off the head of the leading young general. The King of Guanzhong wants his head." He Daoyong said.

Who gave you the courage to invade the Guanzhong camp of hundreds of thousands of people with thousands of troops?
If you bring 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry, it will be about the same.

The battle lasted for half an hour. In the end, all the leading Southern Song generals were killed, the cavalry was wiped out, and only a few hundred infantry were captured. (End of chapter)
