Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1036 Battle for Xiping Mansion
Although the crossbow arrows on the city are sharp, they can't pose a real threat to the goose holes leading to the ladder car and the city. The soldiers of the Song army can move safely in the passage, climb through the inner ladder of the ladder car, and continue to climb up the city. attack.

Obviously, Li Liangfu's commanding ability is far inferior to that of Wu Cunli.

Wang Cunli defended Shengwei City with thousands of people, so Xu Huiyan was extremely cautious and destroyed the defense facilities as much as possible. He did not invest in military projects for ten days, but Wu Jie went straight to the topic and came to the head. Obviously he did not put Li Liangfu on in the eyes.

Of course, this is also related to the military environment and the character of the general. The situation in the north of Shengwei City is complicated. Any opportunity that can be taken advantage of will have the result of slowly advancing troops.

In addition, there was a tacit understanding between the north and the south. Since the Jurchens wanted to reap benefits, they should not cross the boundary. Xingwei City was obviously the boundary between the two sides. He was attacking the city while taking on the duty of defense.

When the Xiping Mansion arrived at Dahe in the northwestern camp in front of the temple, it had lost the meaning of the inner defense fulcrum. It did not need to care about the Xia army's attack on the rear. In addition, Wu Jie used sharp troops, and the military law was particularly cruel. Everything will be punished.

The result is obvious, the Song army's attack is swift and violent, it must be taken as soon as possible, and the army will gather to destroy the last strength of the party members.

Wu Jie's eyes were expressionless, and he watched the offensive and defensive battle at the south gate coldly. Seeing that the Song army was fighting quite hard, he was a little impatient.

It was because Gao Ping's speed was too fast, he directly reached Dahe, and Yaobin's arrogant posture put him under too much pressure.The war of annihilating the country led by the Western Sergeant Army actually gave the Dian Qiansi a big advantage. If Gao Ping really arrived in Xingqing early, the commanders of the Western Sergeant Army would lose all face!
Qu Duan didn't seem to ask about the specific affairs ahead, but he was also in the official pond, secretly urging him to quickly take down Xiping Mansion.

Due to the continuous transformation of the military, the technical weapons of the Song Army continued to increase, and the logistical pressure was also very important. His troops consumed huge resources every day.

Just sweeping the outer strongholds of Xiping Mansion, these troops consumed a large amount of supplies, and the pressure of transporting the luggage was very high. The mobilization of the Western Guards and the generals complained a lot. Even the Western Guards were a little impatient to join the Army Division, and sent to Guantang almost every day. , Urging the army to step up the attack.

At the south gate, he invested more than [-] people at one time, and more than [-] ladder carts opened and fell on the battlements. Shooting, many people were shot to death. A long gun was aimed at the midair, and some people were stabbed so heartbroken that they fell to the bottom of the city.

However, there were still many people struggling to jump down. They fought fiercely with Xia Jun, covering the follow-up and continuing to fight on the city. One group of people fell, and another group came up. The breakpoints of the city wall were like ground meat. machine.

The Song army was also red-eyed, and the archery tower was directly close to the city wall, on the bank of the moat. The soldiers of the two sides held bows and shot at each other. One fell and the other made up.

More officials and soldiers of the Song Dynasty set up simple ladders, or grabbed big arrows nailed to the city wall, and struggled to climb to the top of the city. Down, rolled and screamed, but more people still attacked the top of the city.

The fierce battle was still going on. The hot boiling water and oil poured down from the city were steaming on the ground, and the fierce flames fluttered in the strong wind. The scorching temperature drove both sides into madness.

Everyone has lost the ability to think, screams, roars, curses, drums, the squeaking of the ladder wheels on the ground, the vibration of bow strings, the sharp sound of feathered arrows passing through the air, The crackling sound of gunfire, the chirping sound of cannon stones flying through the air, the rumbling sound of hitting the city wall and outside the city wall, and the shocking and violent explosion of iron cannonballs.

All the sounds are intertwined, forming a miserable scene of purgatory on earth.

On and off the city wall, there are corpses of the war dead everywhere, and wounded soldiers howling miserably can be seen everywhere. Medical officers and guards shuttle back and forth. They are the hope of seriously injured officials, and every time they appear, it means that they may save lives.

The North Gate also invested nearly ten thousand troops. The main attack was Wang De's Xuanwu Army. This is definitely a division of tigers and wolves. What kind of commander brought out what kind of soldiers. This group of bloodthirsty men launched an uninterrupted onslaught on the city wall .

In order to prevent the Northern Guards from having anything to say, under Qu Duan's intervention, the 52nd Brigade Town was assigned to Wang De to attack the city and was responsible for the support of the attacking troops.

Li Shifu calmly commanded the battalions of vehicles, forming a long line to suppress the city. Support role.

"This ruined city has dragged on for three days, and I don't know how the tunnels are doing?" He smacked his lips and chattered dissatisfied.

Chariot soldiers can only display their maximum combat effectiveness in mobile warfare. He felt very aggrieved to support the infantry under the city wall.Moreover, he had to supervise the excavation of the tunnel, which made him a little speechless, and he became a groundhog.

"Taiwei, the two tunnels are close to the city wall, but I am afraid that they will not dig too fast if they hear the noise."

"Hit me hard with iron cannonballs, make the movement louder, or cover up the sound."

The man rolled his eyes. They listened to the movement with a pottery jar buried on the ground. What's the use of you using iron cannonballs to make movement?He should have heard the sound of digging underground. As the general of the town, he would actually make such a speechless common sense mistake.

Just as the battle was raging ahead, Qiu Yun came to a village, and the person who came to meet him was Lin Silang wearing a short jacket.

"I said Shiro, how is it?" Qiu Yun asked carelessly.

"It's almost there. It takes a lot of effort to transport it. It can't be shaken. It's up to you." Lin Silang has been around for many years. Although he is still nerdy, he is much better than before, at least he can talk.

"The excavation of the tunnel is almost done now, and the laying of the wooden rails is basically completed. They are stepping up the final polishing. It is estimated that the shipment can be made today. Will it be completed today?" Qiu Yun's attitude was very indifferent, but his heart was extremely anxious, and there were people fighting every moment. He has learned to control his mood swings, but he still has rich emotions, and he cannot treat officials as pawns.

How did Lin Silang understand Qiu Yun's thoughts? He also cared about the life and death of officials, and couldn't bear the needless sacrifice of more people. After thinking carefully for a moment, he nodded and said, "The xanthate is almost prepared, and it can be transported in batches. Be careful."
