Once internal consensus is reached, the battle will be easier to fight.
There was no use shouting nonsense, all they had to do was throw away the benefits. These scholar-bureaucrats who disdained talking about money did not hesitate to take sides.
Therefore, the matter of reporting to the court is unified.
The time to fight in Guangnan is less than half a year. In other words, the time for the entire southern expeditionary army to stay in Guangnan, including the time to greet Annan, is a bit tight. In less than three months, the entire army must
Evacuated Guangnan and moved to Dali.
Zhao Xi did not want to spend the hot weather in these deep mountains and dense forests, nor could he allow the weather to cause the King Division's non-combat attrition to increase.
Therefore, he considered whether he should suggest actually attacking the city...
Nong Zhigao thought about it together with him.
Guangyuan City was not big to begin with, and was built in a low-lying area. The officers and soldiers were there day and night, so you could just throw rocks in from all directions. The key was to throw in bamboo joints that could explode.
The dead people who saw the sky died inexplicably. Even inside the house, there was no sense of security. There might be stones falling from the sky, which would hit people without knowing it... The gunpowder bombs inserted into the cracks of the stones would explode when they reached the city wall.
, the flying gravel is simply hard to guard against.
The people couldn't stand it anymore, and everyone gathered in the center of the city. With their irritable mood, the whole city was almost in chaos and couldn't be tidied up anymore.
This is not a thing!
If there is such internal chaos, it would be better to have a head-on fight with the officers and soldiers.
Therefore, the entire army of the Nong people left the city and prepared for a decisive battle.
As soon as he left the city, Zhao Xi was stunned. I said, old man, it's only been two or three days and you can't bear it anymore? You're not so anxious to seek death, are you? I'm planning to keep your life!
Not only him, but all the soldiers who continued to throw stones into the city were also stunned.
Since it was forced, Di Qing and Zhao Xi simply asked the soldiers to work in reverse shifts and throw stones and gunpowder bombs into the city day and night.
In order to save money, after determining the fuse time, the gunpowder bombs became the seasoning, just a little from time to time. This is also the reason why Nong Zhigao went to the decisive battle... It was so tortured!
Just as the soldiers were stunned, a sound of drum beating suddenly came from behind... Zhao Xi wanted Nong Zhigao to be a bastard and just quietly escape to Dali, but Di Qing still
I hope this soldier can have a real battle.
When the Guangyuan City Gate opened, sentries had already conveyed the news, and then Di Qing integrated the team.
"Fire a round of gunpowder at the cavalry over there!"
Zhao Xi saw that there were actually cavalry among the soldiers. This was probably the so-called Annan support.
When he saw it, he wanted to test the effect of the gunpowder shells on the cavalry.
"Bang...bang...bang bang..."
With a base number, thirty rounds of gunpowder bombs were launched directly from the trebuchet into the cavalry of the Nong soldiers...
There's no time to play! They had just set up their stance, and when Zhao Xi hit them like this, the entire cavalry was thrown into chaos.
The horse was frightened! The frightened war horse was no different from an ordinary horse. It was not under the command of the cavalry at all. It started from the base camp and then started running crazily...
"Attack!"
Before they were so prepared, Nong Bing's camp had already been trampled into chaos by his own cavalry.
Seeing this situation, Di Qing had already forgotten why he wanted to save Nong Zhigao's life.
As Di Qing, who rose from the bottom to a high position, he knows how to seize opportunities. This is a concept that is deeply rooted in his bones.
When the opponent's camp was in chaos, the order to attack was issued!
In front of the cavalry and behind the infantry, nearly 50,000 people rushed towards the Nong soldiers with roars...
It’s over! It’s over!
Zhao Xi regrets that, knowing that this war horse is so unbearable, he really doesn't know how to operate like this. Now it's over, Nong Zhigao's life is over!
Where is my Dali? Where is my copper mine? They were all ruined by this basic gunpowder bomb.
The battle of Quy Nhon Pu had already destroyed the courage of the entire Nong soldiers. Coupled with the thunder falling from the sky in the past few days, the Nong soldiers were already swayed by their timidity towards the officers and soldiers.
Originally, Nong Zhigao spent a lot of energy and made a lot of promises to the leaders of various Dongli villages, and finally managed to gather morale.
They had just left the city and had just set up their formation, when another lightning strike from the sky caused their cavalry to overwhelm the formation.
This charge was not only a matter of chaotic formations, but also the courage that they had just gained by relying on the strength of numbers was suddenly gone.
Then, without any explanation, they began to flee into the city and into the wild. They had no intention of fighting at all and simply collapsed.
The army was defeated like a mountain!
This scene made Zhao Xi deeply understand this sentence and perfectly interpreted it.
"I guess the same is true for the defeat of Haoshuichuan!"
Cough...cough...Yu Jing, this old boy, just tell the truth.
Indeed, as a stain on Han Qi's knowledge of military affairs, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured in the first battle. Haoshuichuan was also the national policy that contributed to the country's 20-year silence on military affairs. It was also the main reason why the entire court was trembling with fear and panic all day long when hearing about military affairs.
reason.
"The morale, combat effectiveness and equipment of soldiers are the key factors to victory or defeat in battle. Among them, morale is the most critical."
"With Quy Nhon Pu as the base, and with the constant harassment in the past few days, the entire Nong army is on the verge of collapse. It is really unwise for Nong Zhigao to go to war at this time!"
Zhao Xi had a good impression of Han Qi and did not directly comment on the defeat of Haoshuichuan following Yu Jing's lead. He was just concerned about the current battle situation... He was a little worried that Nong Zhigao would not be able to escape.
"It's better to fight to the death if you are sitting in the trapped city! However, not all Nong people are Nong Zhigao..."
The civil servants who were watching the excitement just stayed with Zhao Xi and Yu Jing, watching the Nong people being chased by the officers and soldiers, as if they were watching a play.
This kind of battle that is not evenly matched is really boring.
On one side is an unorganized and clueless escape, on the other side is a high-spirited pursuit. This is no longer a battle, but more like hunting.
Isn't it just hunting? Every time a Nong is caught, it means one more miner to work for!
The overall situation in Guangnan has been decided, and everyone is free to watch the excitement.
They walked leisurely towards Guangyuan City one by one, just like taking a leisurely stroll...
Don't chase after poor bandits. After all, this place is still the territory of other people. If we really go to the mountains, we don't know who will deal with whom.
Therefore, the soldiers of King's Division know how to give up when they are ready, and chase them to the foot of the mountain without taking another step forward.
When Zhao Xi and the others slowly approached Guangyuan City, the pursuit outside the city was almost over.
The city gates were wide open, and the same behavior as outside the city was still going on in the city.
The escort battalion was not involved from the beginning, and no one had touched the escort battalion since the collapse of the Nong troops.
The order is on the one hand, but the key is that they feel that chasing down the Nong soldiers in this situation is a bit cheap.
This is also the reason why this group of civil servants dared to wander into Guangyuan City like this.
After entering the city, Zhao Xi became the guide. Based on the path he had taken that day, he led everyone directly to Nong Zhigao's residence.
I kept thinking in my heart: Lao Nong, you must fight for your reputation and escape.
