Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1039 Xiping Mansion is over

Those who came in were all officials who were born and died with him. Even if there was a military law officer Yuhou present, he was intimidated by those fierce officials and did not dare to have any objections. Qiu Yun did too much, but he also had good intentions.

Besides, the transportation of xanthate was so troublesome, everyone was trembling, for fear of accidents, he had long wanted to get out quickly, and only fools were willing to stay.

As Lin Silang was pulled out, Qiu Yun also calmed down, his eyes were serious and he said: "Okay, everyone who is fine, get out."

However, Wang De also had a serious face, sitting in the command tent to control the actions of Xuanwu and Xuanyi troops, and the soldiers and horses dispatched by the Northern Guards did not form a battalion.However, he was ordered by Qu Duan to control the two armies, which is actually equivalent to the command of the battalion, and it can be regarded as the pinnacle of his life.

It has to be said that he is also very nervous. As a general of his level, he knows that xanthate is unstable, and he is afraid that there will be vibrations during the transportation and cause a violent explosion.However, the configuration of the black medicine is not perfect, and the destructive power it produces is very weak. It can only be used on the battlefield to kill with fragments, and cannot destroy the solid city. Even if the xanthate is unstable, you have to try it.

When he got the news that the xanthate had arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the moment of blasting when he was done, but when he heard that Qiu Yun had driven Lin Silang and the others out, leaving a few of them in the tunnel by himself, his face suddenly became weird, and he immediately got up and rushed to the front camp.

Time passed little by little, waiting until it was painful, but also tense. Those who knew it were looking forward to the moment of the loud noise, and they were not disappointed.

When the people sent by Li Liangfu were gearing up to kill the Song army, they did not expect that what was waiting was not the Song army, but the fire that shot up to the sky after a loud noise, the collapsed city wall and the splashing fire. Masonry dust.

The entire explosion process was very short, and people had no time to prevent it. When the city wall collapsed, many people on the city wall disappeared in the powerful explosion.

Under the city, many people were blown to pieces, and more people were hit by flying stones and their necks were broken. All those within the range of the explosion screamed and fell down, and the bloody air wave spread. People subconsciously stop fighting.

Wu Jie, Wang De and others heard the violent explosion at the same time, and they all had bright faces, and immediately issued military orders continuously.

Being dragged into the camp, Lin Silang, who was beside Wang De, shouted anxiously, "Ninth Brother, why didn't Ninth Brother come back?"

"Ninth brother, it's time for Qiu Laojiu to come back, come here, go and have a look." Wang De was startled for a moment, and then broke out in a cold sweat, that is Wang Xianggong's favorite disciple!
The marching flag has been blown, the five-party flags are constantly being waved, and the horns are constantly being blown, which makes people's blood boil.

Seeing that the city was broken, Wang Qi yelled and led the army to charge up. He didn't ride a horse, but rushed to the front of the queue.

More than [-] soldiers from the three battalions screamed and charged fiercely at the gap in the city wall. Facing the suffocating dust, stepping on the scattered bricks, stones and broken corpses on the ground, they howled and rushed towards the blown gap. go in.

Li Liangfu's eyes were red, and he couldn't believe that there was such a sharp weapon. Fortunately, he left the trench area, otherwise he would have been blown to nothing.

Seeing that Song Jun launched an attack, he almost shouted in despair: "Hold me, we must not let them rush in."

The battle at the breakthrough was quite fierce, and the remaining Xia army and strong men, under the urging of Li Liangfu, gathered at the breakthrough to block it desperately.

Wang Qi did not act recklessly. A surprise attack on the city, a random attack without a system, is doomed to fail.The Song army still maintains a complete organizational system, with the battalion as the highest command unit, and each team cooperates with each other in accordance with the attack sequence.

That is to say, one battalion is responsible for the main attack, two battalions are flank support, and the main attack battalion has two teams as the main force.

Zhang Zhong's troops take the initiative. As the commander of the battalion, he rushes to the forefront, like a general. There is no way, the generals and schools at the decisive moment must rush to the front. As an old 72nd general, he adheres to Wang Xiu' Follow me' tradition.

Because it was not a short-distance impact, Song Jun rushed up slowly wearing half-armored infantry and holding a half-person-high shield.

Wearing light crossbowmen on the two wings, they immediately occupied a favorable position and suppressed the city heads on both sides, so as not to throw wood and stones from the city heads to block the gap.

When Zhang Zhong led the army into the gap, densely packed arrows and close-range sniper attacks came oncoming.

The role of the shield was fully utilized, the half-person-high shield was more effective than the side shields, most of the arrows were blocked, and occasionally an arrow caused a lonely bloody light in the iron forest, the infantry officers were most nervous That is, the violent sound of the arrowhead hitting the shield was simply unbearable.

When Song Jun rushed into the gap, Xia Jun swarmed up and blocked the gap with his own body. He was also fighting in iron armor. The collision of bodies, the slashing of knives and axes, blood and flesh flew all over the place.

Zhang Zhong held a long thick-backed broadsword, and danced like a tiger and a tiger. Wherever he went, blood splattered, stumps and broken arms flew around, and in the dark night and fire, he was like a hell Shura.

It has to be said that the Xia army made a heroic resistance, but the Song army was outnumbered. The three infantry battalions were constantly squeezed, and backup troops gathered one after another.Moreover, the constant diversionary attacks in all directions prevented Li Liangfu from concentrating his forces. Once the diversionary attacks had a breakthrough, they would become the main attack, and everything would change according to the development of the battle situation.

When the Song army fired rockets, a large area of ​​Xia's army fell down, the breakthrough continued to expand, and a large number of infantry poured into the city.

Li Liangfu's face was pale. Seeing that the Song army not only expanded the breakthrough, but also expanded to the walls on both sides, and groups of soldiers and horses came from outside the city, he knew it was over.

If the city wall couldn't withstand the collapse of the cannon stone, and the Song army didn't react too quickly, maybe he had time to organize the army and civilians to repair it, and he could continue to hold on.

It was obvious that they had blown down the city wall, prepared assault troops, and carried out containment attacks from all sides, without giving him a chance to react.At this time, the Song army attacked the city walls on both sides of the gap, and they fought repeatedly with the defenders, regardless of casualties. The Song army outside the city also set up ladders and swarmed up. People are being killed all the time.

It's no good, it's useless to hold on any longer. The outer city of Lingwu City in Xiping Prefecture can't be defended anymore, but the defense of some key cities is not captured at all. The whole city immediately fell. There is also Xiangqing Military City in Lingwu City .

Li Liangfu let out a long sigh, and said dejectedly: "Order all the ministries to defend every base and gradually retreat to the military city."
