Zhao Bingyan understood what Wen Tianxiang meant. How could an army without any assistance sustain the continuous attacks of tens of thousands of troops?
Perhaps the Changning Army has been defeated and Lingxiao Mountain has become rubble.
Wen Tianxiang had once fought alone, and he knew how difficult it was to be under siege and interception without any foreign aid.
Zhao Bingyan slammed the table and said: No more waiting, rush over.
He asked Wen Tianxiang to cut off the rear and lead the guards straight to the front.
Qujing is known as the key to Yunnan and Guizhou and the throat of Yunnan. During the Dali Kingdom, it attached great importance to the defense construction of the city to defend against foreign enemies. When the Yuan army took over, the city was completely protected. As long as the defenders did not give up, the Song Dynasty Guards could only rely on the force in their hands. Don't even think about entering the city by firing cannons.
However, Zhao Bingyan is here, and the city gate must be opened for him.
When Wang Bao saw that he was covered in mud and water, he couldn't bear to start work immediately and asked him to bathe and change clothes.
He said he didn't have time and wanted to take the artillery to surround the city.
A group of people rode horses to observe the city from a distance.
Wang Bao said that the city wall was three feet high and horses could be raced on it. There was an urn at the city gate and watchtowers at the four corners. The Tatars also set up many trebuchets and cannons around the city wall.
His scouts were exposed because their accents did not match. Two of his scouts were killed by the Tatars and hung in public at the south gate. It was all thanks to the brothers from the special operations brigade to raid the south gate at night to retrieve the bodies. Twenty-three good brothers were sacrificed. Na.
Zhao Bingyan was angry. His special forces team members were the best in a million, and they had never suffered such heavy casualties.
Sun Huchen said in embarrassment: "The Tatars have been prepared for a long time. There are more than 10,000 men and horses. If we attack by force, we must build a large number of ladders and other siege equipment. The sacrifices may be more than 5,000. If we don't get ten days, we may not be able to take them down."
Xiao Chengzhang, the commander of the artillery regiment, made a nervous report: "The walls of Qujing City are thick. Our mortars can only knock down enemy artillery on the wall, but they can only scratch the wall. If we want to blow up the city wall, we can only use the Zhuge Divine Cannon."
Zhao Bingyan had already read the four doors, and he said: "Mr. Zhuge once captured Meng Huo seven times and recaptured Nanzhao. When we attack Qujing, he will definitely help."
He ordered Simon to be released and set up an ambush outside the city. Blast open the south gate and rush in to kill the turtles.
Wang Bao and Sun Huchen immediately adjusted their deployment.
Zhao Bingyan took Xiao Chengzhang to choose artillery positions. An open space was found three kilometers away, and Xiao Chengzhang was asked to lead two artillery regiments to dig out the howitzer's position.
This girl was so happy that she immediately started getting busy.
He personally came to a hidden ravine one mile in front of the south gate and taught Qian Shipan to drive to the cannon emplacement.
The next day, he first went to Xiao Chengzhang to release twenty howitzers, and told Xiao Chengzhang to wait until the city gate exploded before firing, blasting two hundred meters from the outside into the city. Then bomb from the city to the city wall. After taking a break to burn incense, continue to bombard the city wall and a 100-meter section of the city.
At this time, the infantry will launch a charge, and the howitzers will fire a barrage on the 150-meter line of the city to stop the enemies reinforcing the city gate.
Xiao Chengzhang understood instantly.
Zhao Bingyan asked him seriously if he remembered? Repeat it again.
This infantry-artillery coordination is no joke, if you don't get it right it will kill your own people.
After confirming that it was correct, he went to the cannon position and installed the cannon. He smiled and said to Qian Shipan: "This time I learn to fire cannons. The guards will transform into artillery. If you do it well, you can become the commander of the artillery regiment in the future."
This girl immediately asked her brothers to get busy.
After Zhao Bingyan calibrated his movement, he pointed at the city gate and asked Qian Shipan: "Why don't you build the Weng City Gate instead of the Weng City Wall?" The girl complimented: "The King of Han just broke through the Weng City Wall to blow up his grandson to save trouble. The main city gate.”
He laughed loudly: "You can teach me, let's get to work."
The first shell roared away immediately and hit the wall of Wengcheng with a loud bang. The defenders facing the shell were so frightened that they jumped up and fell down the wall.
The ancients were very smart. When building the city, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking and hitting the main city gate, they built an urn city outside the main city gate for easy protection. The urn city gate was often opened on the side, not facing the main city gate.
Such a city design. The enemy must turn when attacking the main city gate, which greatly weakens the impact of various weapons such as ramming cars and wood.
Zhao Bingyan's artillery shells are not missiles and cannot be turned to attack the main city gate, but he can demolish the urn wall and attack the main city gate directly.
The wall of Wengcheng was much shorter. After the three bombardments collapsed, he was not anxious at all and continued to fire to widen the gap. He wanted to use cannons for psychological warfare. The cannonballs exploded on the city wall, causing huge vibrations and shattering the internal organs of the defending generals.
This high-tech integrated firearm, the armor-piercing projectile that can penetrate the super-strong armor of later generations, is extremely efficient in demolishing city walls. The main city gate was quickly and clearly displayed in front of him.
At this time, the enemy troops in Qujing City were already panicking.
The Eight Bull Crossbows, trebuchets, and return cannons all aimed at the position where Zhao Bingyan was firing and greeted him randomly, but unexpectedly, an arrow flew to the steel guard plate of the cannon and made a clanging sound.
Xiao Chengzhang was worried that Zhao Bingyan would be injured, so he fired a volley at the wall before the main city gate exploded. For a time, the city wall was filled with smoke and explosions.
Immortal Banban, isn't this a waste of artillery shells? You don't even do a calibration shot.
Zhao Bingyan aimed at the main city gate and called for fire. After three cannons, the south gate of Qujing was reduced to ashes.
At this time, the charge horn of the Guards sounded, and a large number of soldiers shouted and rushed to the city gate.
An hour later, Zhao Bingyan stood on the steps of Qujing Mansion Office.
Wang Bao said with admiration: No wonder the Qujing defenders are stubborn. It is said that there lived a Pingzhang political minister named Wang, who was a descendant of the famous Wang family army in the Yuan Dynasty. The city was already destroyed, but he still commanded his men to fight in the streets in the east city.
Zhao Bingyan's new army has the combination of the 38 big cover and the 56th style, the rocket launcher clears the fortress, and the powerful and light hand grenade | shells can hit cattle across mountains.
He believed that the soldiers he had trained could win the battle and was not interested in it. He told Wang Bao that he would listen to the Prime Minister's orders from now on and that he would leave the team for a few days.
Wang Bao was reluctant to leave.
As long as the King of Han was there, Zhuge Wuhou's divine artillery could help.
He refused to let the King of Han go.
Zhao Bingyan glared at Wang Bao and said, "You can't fight without cannons. Can't you walk? You're confused." After cursing, he got into a room next to him and immediately used the Great Teleportation to move to Lingxiao Mountain.
Wen Tianxiang hurried to Qujing. The generals told him that the King of Han had gone to Lingxiao Mountain. He was immediately furious. He scolded the military leaders and waved his hands and said, "That's all. You can't stop the King of Han from wherever he is going. Tell me what to do now." What to do?”
Wang Bao said that the King of Han had given instructions to attack all the way and drive directly to Xuzhou, with the Guards settling in Xuzhou as the center. If Qu Jing could hold it, he would defend it; if he couldn't, he would retreat to Shimen to defend himself.
Sun Huchen immediately said: Report to the Prime Minister, it is our fourth brigade's next trip, and we will eventually order two A-type regiments to attack Wumeng.
Wen Tianxiang paused and ordered Zhang Qi to garrison Qujing. The army accelerated towards Xuzhou and moved closer to the Changning army.
This time, the prime minister added a stipulation to recover and occupy the city.
The generals were overjoyed and agreed happily.
Occupied, just won’t leave.
We need to attack the local tyrants and divide their land, completely liquidate the Da Yuan spies and lackeys in the area, mobilize the people to join the team to expel the Tatars, and establish new base areas.
As soon as Wen Tianxiang entered the inner hall to rest, a guard came in to report: Miss Guo Er and Miss Cheng, the special envoys of Li Mu Mountain, are here.
He immediately came out to greet them and said with a smile: "Is it appropriate for the imperial court to appoint the two girls Guo as special envoys to Dali? Tell me, how is the situation?"
Guo Xiang reported to him: Duan Shitai, the king of Dali, was too disrespectful and refused to submit to the imperial court. They went to Tianlong Temple to debate scriptures with the emperors and monks of the Duan family, and finally reached a peace agreement. King Dali promised not to send troops to the east.
This is already very good.
In this way, the Northern Expeditionary Army only had to withstand the counterattack of the Mongolian and Yuan forces in Dali.
Wen Tianxiang was so happy that he called for tea, good tea.
Guo Xiang looked around for a while and asked him weakly: "Prime Minister, where is the King of Han? Why don't you see the King of Han?"
Wen Tianxiang knew as soon as he saw Guo Xiang's expression that this woman cared about Zhao Bingyan, and secretly sighed in his heart that this man was too charming. He thought for a while and said: "The King of Han went to Lingxiao Mountain to do business. Before leaving, he told the two girls that if he saw them, they must stay for him."
Guo Xiang and Cheng Lin were confused and exclaimed at the same time: "Why?"
