Some of the masters of the six gates who climbed the city also had fire in their mouths. Although the burning sensation on their mouths was unavoidable, they could still illuminate a bright light, and especially attract the attention of the Song soldiers on duty. But they attracted firepower to others!
Regardless of whether they had fire breaks in their mouths or not, it was absolutely true that everyone was holding on to the hook rope on their hands and feet and flying upward. Each of them knew very well in their hearts that at the moment they held the rope, this
The length of the rope is closely related to their lives.
In three to five minutes, more than a hundred and six gates were closed by masters, and the Song soldiers guarding the gate above were all wiped out. Of course, at this time, the Song troops behind the gate were also alert and came together, like a surging tide.
At the pass, layer after layer of Song army corpses fell down on the stone steps on both sides of the city gate tower. It was not until a large number of soldiers from across the state climbed up to Donglang Pass on hook ropes that the overall situation was finally settled.
For this reason, the Song Army suffered losses of many thousand men, while the Quanzhou Army also lost thirty to fifty soldiers from the Six Gates.
On the tenth day of May, Donglang Pass fell to the enemy for the second time. The 10,000 soldiers guarding the pass lost more than 3,000, and the remaining troops withdrew to Jinniu Pass via Dingshan. The next day, the entire state army swept through Dingshan and Ningshan counties.
Qu Wutong's face was extremely gloomy. He didn't know that when Donglang Pass fell again, it was the same day that Zhu Biao led his army back to Yongxing in triumph. But he knew that this news could never be reported to the royal city like this.
Of course, this does not mean that Qu Wutong must conceal military information, but that he must take action to save the situation before the King of Song is furious and orders an edict to punish him severely.
It would be best for you to wipe your neck cleanly. Even if you don't injure Yongxing's family and children, you will still be embarrassed in front of others.
The pass that Zhu Biao led his troops to take back with great difficulty was simply thrown into his hands by Fu Yiyang. This is not incompetence or dereliction of duty, so what can I say?
"Order the troops, order the troops! Take back Ningshan, Dingshan, and take back Donglang Pass!" Qu Wutong gave the order loudly. Fortunately, the guard general of Donglang Pass was not a pure idiot. When he could not defend the pass,
, and also knew that before retreating, they burned all the equipment and military supplies. Otherwise, if the Quanzhou Army had the siege equipment and military supplies stored in Donglang Pass, Qu Wutongzhen would not dare to say that he had "taken them back".
Because among the siege equipment stored in Donglangguan, there are not only siege vehicles, well gates, ladder trucks, lookout trucks, buckets, rams, but also quite a few thunder vehicles. These things can be used both offensively and defensively.
It’s a big killer!
On May 12th, 40,000 Song troops came out of Jinniu Pass. A thousand cavalry guarded Ningshan, and the army entered Dingshan County. At dusk, the troops approached the city.
Sixty Pili chariots are neatly displayed outside Dingshan City, and the towering stone tips proudly show their power to people. And this is why the distance from Jinniuguan to Dingshan County is less than fifty miles, with a distance of 40,000.
However, it took the Song army a whole day to arrive.
There are also hill-like piles of stone bullets lying quietly behind the Thunderbolt Car Matrix, but anyone can imagine what kind of power they will unleash to attack their enemies when they 'wake up'!
Sixty large and medium-sized Thunderbolt vehicles were all arranged in the north of Dingshan County. There was a depressing chill in the early morning mist. The livestock in the army seemed to feel this heavy atmosphere, and the horses and cattle were restless.
It hooves, or makes a low, high-pitched cry from time to time.
This morning was the planned siege time. The Song army who arrived at Dingshan City at dusk yesterday had prepared all their siege equipment overnight, but there was no saying that they would show mercy.
"Start attacking the city." Qu Wutong said sternly to the messenger standing next to him. He has 40,000 troops. It is said that there is only one battalion of the Quanzhou Army in the city. After all, Fu Yiyang has not mobilized too many Quanzhou troops these days. The strength of the sergeants was far from being restored to its original state. Although Qu Wutong was a little puzzled as to why the Quanzhou Army garrison in Dingshan County did not retreat as early as yesterday, the siege of the city was already as fast as an arrow. No more posting.
Forty-eight naked men, working in teams of two and two, beat the war drums hard on the drum cart. The sound of the drums penetrated the morning fog, passed through the helmets, and penetrated into the ears of every Song Army soldier, letting them His spirit could not help but be lifted.
He held the sword and gun tightly in his hands. The sound of drums also drifted into Dingshan County, which had suffered several military disasters in recent times, and immediately caused a great commotion from the city head to the city.
"Play..." The drumming just stopped.
Shouts with different personalities followed, followed closely by the noisy sounds of machines, and countless stone bullets flew up happily, scrambling to hit the city wall. , although the result of this is often that they will be shattered to pieces, they still fight on like warriors who are not afraid of death.
Qu Wutong smiled. His ears were filled with the whistling sound of the wood shoots cutting through the air, the bang bang sound of the blocking wood colliding with the wood shoots, and the dull sound of the stone bullets and the city wall coming from not far away. The sound of impact is so wonderful.
The fog in Dingshan County is getting thicker and thicker, the color is getting darker, and the outline of the city wall is getting blurry. This is not an illusion. The cause of this phenomenon is the impact of stone bullets on the city wall. dust.
It has encountered wars several times and repaired it several times. The former is true, and the latter is just a small fight. The city wall of Dingshan County is strong, so every stone bullet hits the city wall with the sound of breaking bricks. There was a lot of dust, because the walls of Dingshan City are all old walls.
You can think of hundreds of stone bullets constantly bombarding the city wall in turn, what would it create? A large amount of dust rippling in the air, and there is an artificial yellow fog.
"Boom, boom..." The muffled sound continued, and within the time of a stick of incense, the city wall of Dingshan not far away was bombarded by hundreds or thousands of stone bullets. The parapets and battlements were like jumping to the snowy mountains, one after another. Stone falls apart.
But the bombardment of stone bullets did not stop because of the collapse of the battlements and parapets. They were still flying towards the yellow smoke one after another, mercilessly.
The sound of the war drums started again, and the three thousand soldiers of the Song Army let out a loud roar in unison. The shouts suppressed the sound of the war drums. Following this shout, the three thousand soldiers, dressed in heavy armor and holding swords in their hands, Spears and shields were divided into three teams of left, middle and right, and they marched towards the city wall in an orderly manner, followed closely by two thousand archers with quivers hanging on their waists. Suddenly, the sound of neat footsteps sounded in the open space outside the city, and The clanking sound of armor.
A smile flashed across Qu Wutong's face. Although the losses of the three thousand soldiers in the vanguard would be considerable and many lives would be lost soon, this was not important to him.
As the Song Army continued to advance, the gunners controlling the Pili Chariots were also constantly adjusting the height of the heavy objects. They used this to extend the projection area forward. This is also another benefit of the Pili Chariots, similar to those in the era of hot weapons. The artillery fire spreads. It can't kill people, but it also scares them to death. It can also disrupt the dispatch and arrangement of the entire state army. Although the actual effect of such blind fire is not very great, the sound of collapsing houses and the sound of broken wood are constantly heard from the dust and fog. It can be easily judged from the screams. Compared with the damage caused to the Quanzhou Army, the stone bullets caused greater damage to the residential buildings in Dingshan City.
The gun and shield soldiers and sword players in the front row were still pressing forward unhurriedly. They had almost entered the dust-covered area. The heavy armored soldiers in the rear were crowded with ladder trucks. As we approached the city wall, we unexpectedly encountered no resistance at all.
When the ladder truck disappeared into the dust and fog, Qu Wutong raised his right hand to stop the continuous bombardment of the Thunderbolt Vehicle Formation. He did not want the Song Army sergeant who was walking in the front to attack, not to die in the hands of the enemy but in his own hands. Under the stone bullets fired by people.
But just when the Pili chariot became quiet, the terrifying cries and neighs of horses came from behind the Song army.
Qu Wutong turned around in shock, only to see at the mountain col behind him, countless Qingqi from across the entire state were coming towards the rear of the army.
"It's the imperial court's cavalry, reinforcements from the entire state army are coming..."
"It's the cavalry..."
A series of panicked screams appeared in the military formation, buzzing, and the small voices of each individual converged into a loud exclamation. Some of the 40,000 Song troops were new soldiers, and some were recruited princes, and they were not full of fighting spirit. , when they saw the dark cavalry rushing towards them, they immediately turned pale with fright, and their hands and feet were limp. If it weren’t for the fact that they were still in the military formation, and there were veterans of the Song Army pressing them aside, I am afraid that these people would They were about to flee for their lives. However, this cannot be blamed on them. In the final analysis, they had no heart for the King of Song at all, so naturally they could not demand of them the elite principles.
Fell into a trap!
Qu Wutong and the general behind him looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. In the flash of lightning, Qu Wutong suddenly understood why the Quanzhou Army in Dingshan City wanted to fight this unhappiness in Dingshan County. Symmetrical Battle. I suddenly understood why the army arrived at Dingshan County so smoothly yesterday, and the Quanzhou Army did not even show any symbolic obstruction. It turned out that this was a trap carefully set by them.
"It turns out that the Quanzhou Army has arrived a long time ago. It is indeed a good plan." Looking at the Qingqi of the Quanzhou Army, which was only two miles away, Qu Wutong couldn't help but secretly praise. These must be Fu Yiyang's trump cards, no wonder he would allow himself to be in Ding A free march outside the mountain city.
"General, what should we do now?" The general looked at Qu Wutong who was still unmoved and couldn't help but said anxiously. The current situation is extremely bad for the Song Army, although Dingshan County is no longer worth mentioning. ', but everyone knows that with the arrival of the Quanzhou Army's cavalry, the situation has completely changed. The Song Army completely exposed its back to the unknown number of Quanzhou Army's light cavalry.
"Rear troops turn back and form formations——" All Qu Wutong could make at this moment was such a helpless and correct decision. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
