In the Qi army camp, many soldiers looked at the dark figures outside.
Zhao Tai looked at Zhang Rou, "Ai Qing, are you sure you can hold Beiying?"
Zhang Rou cupped her fists and said, "Your Majesty, please return to the city to watch the battle and watch our soldiers from the North Camp repel the enemy."
Zhao Tai nodded: "Well, I won't interfere with your command. Prepare to defend immediately!"
The Mongolian army was about to attack Beiying, but Zhao Tai did not stay in the camp. Instead, he ended his inspection and returned to Yangquan City to take charge.
When Zhao Tai returned to the city, the sound of trumpets rose to the sky outside the city, and the sound of the Mongolian army's trumpets resounded throughout the earth!
At this time, the Mongolian army, which had been preparing for many days, was finally about to take action!
Under the banner of the Mongolian army, Guyu, Meng Ge, and Batu were stationed on horseback. They looked at the Qi army's camp from a distance and saw deer antlers and horses scattered all outside the camp. The walls of the camp were filled with Qi army's crossbowmen. Outside there are several rows of sword and shield bearers and spearmen.
They did not stand inside the wall, but outside the wall, preventing the Mongolian army from approaching the wall.
At this time, Brother Meng saw the Mongolian troops arrayed in front and raised the flag to show that they were ready. He casually said to Guyuk: "Great Khan, Liu Heima is ready."
Guiyou then waved his hand and said, "Let's get started!"
He gave the order, and the Mongolian soldiers behind him raised their heads and blew their horns.
In the front line of the Mongolian army, the 30,000-strong Hedong Han army under Liu Heima was in charge of the attack. When Liu Heima heard the attack horn, he immediately drew his sword, pointed forward angrily, and shouted loudly, "Attack!"
Zhao Tai killed Liu Heima's son. In order to take revenge, Liu Heima personally commanded his troops and took on the important task of attacking the Qi army's camp.
Of course, he took on this task not only because of revenge against his son, but also because the Qi army attacked Hedong, which affected his interests.
If the Qi army occupied Hedong, then his land in Hedong would be confiscated by Qi, and Zhao Tai would not allow him to retain tens of thousands of private soldiers.
At this time, he gave an order, and the Mongolian soldiers all over the hill stepped forward in unison.
Tens of thousands of Mongolian troops moved towards the Qi army camp like a carpet.
This time the Mongolian army was fully prepared for the attack. Not only did the team have a flying bridge to cross the trench, but there were also hundreds of shield vehicles equipped with large shields in front of the formation.
These shield carts are vehicles with a large shield or wooden door erected on them. They are pushed forward by the soldiers at the front, which can protect the soldiers behind from most arrows.
At this time, the Mongolian army advanced forward and soon entered the firing range of the Qi army's artillery. However, the Qi army's artillery did not launch an attack.
Liu Heima commanded his subordinates, slowly approaching the Qi army's camp, and arrived in front of the obstacles set up by the Qi army.
The shield chariot in the front row of the Mongolian army stopped in front of the trench, and a large number of Mongolian soldiers slowly gathered behind the shield chariot.
"Boom, boom, boom!" At this moment, the artillery that had been moved to both sides of the Qi army camp finally opened fire.
The Qi army's artillery did not bombard the front of the Mongolian army, but shot diagonally into the Mongolian army's formation from the side.
The shield chariot used by the Mongolian army to resist the Qi army's bows and arrows was vulnerable to artillery shells. It was like a paper lake and was torn into pieces by the artillery shells.
After the artillery shell exploded with the shield car, the wood chips produced swept across the Mongolian army behind, and the wood chips knocked over the Mongolian soldiers hiding behind.
The power of the Qi army's artillery shells was not reduced, and they were fired diagonally into the Mongolian army formations, like plowing fields, piercing the Mongolian army formations.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
If we attack the enemy camp, even if we lose tens of thousands of people, as long as we can capture the northern camp and force Zhao Tai to fight, I think it's worth it! "
The Qi army's artillery fired from both sides, and those who hit the Mongolian army were killed instantly.
Seeing this, Liu Heima quickly roared, "Attack us!"
At this time, the Mongolian army hurriedly built a trench bridge, and the soldiers rushed out from the gap between the shield vehicles and shouted towards the Qi army's camp.
Zhang Rou stood on the wall of the village and immediately waved her hand, "Fire the arrow!"
The crossbowman standing on the wall immediately took aim and fired.
Behind the village wall, several rows of archers bent their bows, pointed their arrows diagonally at the sky, and then launched a wave of arrows.
The Mongolian army was charging. The soldiers in front were hit by crossbows and fell into the trench. The soldiers behind them saw a rain of arrows rising from behind the wall of the Qi army's stronghold before they had even taken two steps.
These arrows missed the stronghold wall, blocked the sky and the sun, and then fell like locusts, hitting the Mongolian soldiers with their heads and faces covered.
For a moment, the Mongolian soldiers screamed and fell to the ground one after another after being hit by arrows.
Liu Heima roared angrily, "Suppress the archers, let me attack the swordsmen!"
Behind the shield car, the Mongolian archers fired arrows at the Qi army's camp, covering the Mongolian army to clear obstacles and launch a charge.
The arrows shot by the Mongolian army fell down. The Qi soldiers standing outside the wall immediately raised their shields to block the rain of arrows, and the array remained motionless.
At this time, arrows from both sides intertwined. The Mongolian soldiers carried their shields, crossed the trench, and cleared the antlers and horse stakes. The soldiers were continuously shot and fell to the ground.
The Mongolian soldiers moved their comrades who were thrown to death on their horses together, and cleared the obstacles with difficulty.
After suffering heavy casualties, the Mongolian soldiers finally reached the wall of the village.
At this time, the Qi army on the wall of the stronghold immediately threw thunderbolts forward, with loud "bang" noises, directly blowing up the approaching Mongolian army.
There were also pitchers in the Mongolian army, and they threw thunderbolts at the wall of the village, which landed on the shields of the Qi army, causing a series of "boom" explosions.
At the top of Yangquan City, Zhao Tai stared at the battlefield and said solemnly: "If the Mongolian army launches a fierce attack regardless of casualties, Zhang Rou will be under great pressure!"
Wang Bin said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mongolia sent another mission to the Southern Song Dynasty. I think we should instigate an uprising by the princes of Hedong, force the Mongolian army to attack in an all-out way, and then use the defense to kill and injure the Mongolian army!"
Zhao Tai nodded slightly: "Mongolia wants to use the Southern Song Dynasty to threaten King Gu and force him to fight. Gu should take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Mongolian army is in Yangquan and incite the princes of Hedong to rebel against Mongolia. In this way, the Mongolian army will either retreat or make a full-scale attack. No matter what choice they make, the lonely king will win in the end!"
"Kill!" On the battlefield, the sound of killing was loud and explosions occurred one after another.
At this time, the Mongolian soldiers had already rushed to the foot of the stronghold wall and collided with the Qi army outside the stronghold wall.
The Qi army's shield hand was in front, resisting the Mongolian attack. The long gunmen hid behind the shield and kept stabbing, causing the Mongolian soldiers to spurt blood and scream in agony, preventing them from approaching the wall.
The Qi army's crossbowmen on the wall were condescending, aiming at the Mongolian army and shooting them. The Mongolian soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but they were unable to shake the Qi army's defense line.
