The occupying army first sent its most elite troops outside the city to form a line of defense.

The city towers were also covered with archers, covering within a hundred meters of the city wall.

Zhanren's voice sounded at the city gate, and Zhanren's language sounded very strange.

One by one, the sun-skinned occupying troops followed the large troops out of the city with weapons in hand.

After leaving the city, I casually stopped in the large army.

The Zhan army did not have strict military formations like the Song army, but they had a large number of people and looked quite impressive when gathered together.

Qian Yuqing didn't expect Zhanren to come out so quickly.

From this point of view, Li Kun's siege tactics still had a huge psychological impact on the Zhan people.

This tactic still existed in ancient Chinese history.

For example, in the Battle of Dalinghe in the late Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji besieged Dalinghe City, which was guarded by Zu Dashou, and this method was adopted.

The situation is very similar to now.

Jiannu's field combat ability was stronger than that of the Ming army. When Zu Dashou saw Jiannu standing on the outer wall of the city, he could not calm down. Without waiting for reinforcements to arrive, he went out of the city and was defeated in the field battle.

Li Kun was from the Song Dynasty, so naturally he had not read the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, but this siege tactic was ultimately psychological warfare.

Qian Yuqing drank the wine in his glass, put on his shoes and shouted: "The whole army is ready!"

The war drums of the Song Army sounded loudly, and the officers of the Military Department also quickly gathered.

From the military capital commander to the capital marshal to the commander, as well as the capital, officers at all levels took action.

"gather!"

The flag bearer held the flag, and the soldiers assembled quickly according to their usual training.

The forward battalion is all made up of strong men, at least 1.75 meters tall.

The crossbow archers on both wings were lined up, and there were some archers behind the crossbow archers.

By this time, the Song troops who had built the wall had already withdrawn.

Both sides spread out in the open space outside the city.

Qian Yuqing stood on the high platform and saw the occupying troops in front of them lined up in front of the city gate, extending horizontally for three or four miles and extending vertically to the bottom of the city wall.

This was Qian Yuqing's first time fighting such a large-scale battle, and he was inevitably a little unsure.

But after all, he has been fighting in shopping malls for many years, has met countless people, and his psychological quality is still good.

Appearing calm and calm on the surface, he asked: "How many men and horses are there in Zhanren?"

The experienced Li Bao said: "It seems that more than 10,000 people have come out."

Qian Yuqing saw that the occupying troops were still coming out one after another, and said, "Should our army attack first and block the occupying troops from sending out troops?"

Li Bao said: "If our army attacks, even if it kills the occupying army, it will be exposed to the range of the archers at the top of the enemy's city. It will be detrimental to our army and cannot be like this."

"Then what should we do now?" Qian Yuqing took a deep breath, his hands were sweating.

He had always heard about how Wang Shi resisted the Jin army on the northern front in Tokyo City and how he killed the enemy troops.

It’s so exciting to hear those stories!

All good men want to achieve success.

But on such a battlefield, as a person, timidity arises spontaneously.

Just like when someone mentions a roller coaster and dismisses it, isn’t it just a roller coaster? Isn’t it just a little higher and spinning around in the air? I’m not afraid!

I really want him to go up there, oh my god! Save...

Finding that our Qian Shaoqing's voice was trembling, Li Bao didn't dare to expose it, so he said: "We can only wait for the enemy troops to come out!"

Qian Yuqing asked: "Is there no other way to win by surprise?"

"Yes!" Li Bao said calmly, "Our army has rushed to make thirty small trebuchets in the past few days, which can be put to use."

Qian Yuqing naturally saw the trebuchet in the middle of the army, but due to the lack of stones nearby, the Song army could only cut down the wood and chop the wood into small pieces to replace the stones.

Qian Yuqing continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"

Li Bao pointed to the front and said: "Our army is currently setting up a formation. The crossbowmen on both sides have concentrated their crossbow offensive, specifically killing the enemy's left and right wings, causing the enemy's left and right wings to collapse. The swordsmen and axemen behind will rush in, causing complete chaos.

The enemy's offensive."

The Song army also had a limited number of crossbows and could not use them indefinitely. What Qian Yuqing was most worried about was that the new recruits suddenly collapsed and ran away during the battle.

If he loses this battle, he will really have no shame in going back to see Zhao Guan's family.

Qian Yuqing suddenly discovered that talking about war on paper is one state, and defending against the enemy in battle is another state.

Not the same thing at all.

The art of war that I read in books on weekdays was completely confused in such a large-scale war.

"Shaoqing, don't worry. Our army's military participation department has a complete system and the army can be commanded more appropriately." Li Kun said, "What I am most worried about is not the infantry occupying the army."

"What is it?"

"The occupying army has elephant soldiers."

As soon as Li Kun said this, there was indeed an elephant's cry from ahead, and the sound shook all directions.

But he saw an elephant coming out of the city gate, with two people sitting on the elephant.

One hand holds a small bow and arrow, and the other holds a spear.

Next, the elephants came out one by one, and their footsteps made the ground make a muffled sound.

They neigh loudly.

When the Zhan people saw the elephant soldiers coming out, they immediately became excited like chicken blood.

They raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

Although Qian Yuqing couldn't understand it, he also knew that these people were emboldening him.

Qian Yuqing said: "When the elephant soldiers come out, I'm not worried anymore."

"What do you mean, Master?"

"This was what happened when Guo Kui fought against Jiaozhi. You quickly ordered the crossbow archers on the left and right wings to focus on the elephant soldiers!"

"I understand!"

After Li Kun went down, he immediately arranged for someone to deliver the order.

Not long after, all the occupying troops had left the city, a total of 50,000 people, spread out outside the city in a sea of ​​people.

The sun is hanging overhead, and Champa in March is already getting hot, just like the summer temperature in Tokyo.

Wind and waves came from the sea layer by layer, pushing the distant woods to rustle.

Several Zhan people came up alone and chattered a few words in front of the Song army's formation.

The translator quickly relayed what Zhan Jun said to Qian Yuqing: "Shao Qing, Zhan Jun said that we must surrender, or they will kill us all."

Qian Yuqing said coldly: "Kill those Zhan people who spread the message!"

The few occupying troops who passed the news were immediately shot to death by random arrows from the front row of the Song army.

Zhao En was furious when he saw this scene at the top of the city. He ordered the drummer to play the drum again.

The war drums of both sides sounded.

Next, the occupying army sitting on the elephant began to blow the horn.

The occupying army shouted and the army began to move forward.

Looking down from a high altitude, the tens of thousands of occupying troops looked like an endless torrent.

This also shows that Qian Yuqing is under psychological pressure at this moment.

However, these people who often go to sea along the coast are obviously not good people.

"Long live the Song Dynasty!" Song Jun shouted, and the voice spread throughout this seaport city.

The morale of the calm army suddenly soared.

This was a war that changed the Song Dynasty’s control of the South China Sea!

The emerging maritime power of the Song Dynasty stepped onto the stage in a hurry.

The times have not given them a chance to breathe, they must fight for their own glory with ambition!
Chapter completed!
