Chapter 195 [Reverse Ge]
In Qiongzhou in May, the temperature is actually very high. People are in the sun and don’t have to do anything. They sweat and get sweaty in less than a quarter of an hour. If they stay for half an hour, they will be dizzy and they can’t control their thirst. If they stay for another half an hour, they will feel nauseous and dizzy. This is a sign of heatstroke.
In such weather, launching an attack on a city is definitely a severe test for an army and is incompetent without elite soldiers.
However, a mile outside the Qiongguanbei City, a messy team was being organized, preparing to launch an attack on the Qiongguan Yuan army.
This team had about six or seven hundred people, more than two hundred gun players, more than three hundred crossbow players, and about two hundred auxiliary soldiers carrying long bamboo ladders, trench cars and various backup bows and arrows, swords and guns. This was a very standard Song army array, and Su Jingyu, the general commander of this team, was sweating heavily, his face turned red, and his heart was resentful.
Su Jingyu was Su Jingzhan's brother. He was originally a navy army, that is, the chief general of the Longque Army Navy. One of the battalions he commanded was the main force of the navy, mostly composed of the children and servants of the Su family, and was very combat-effective. Su Jingzhan, who was the chief commander of the navy, was able to break through the siege from the sea of corpses and blood in Yashan, and this Su family general played a key role.
After the head of the Su family Su Liuyi was implicated by Zhang Shijie, the Su family navy was merged into the Longque Army and changed to the Navy. Although Su Jingyu was secretly unfair to be the head of the family and was depressed, he did not dare to act rashly. After all, Zhao Lie has a great reputation.
During this expedition, the navy was originally only responsible for blocking the sea surface and not allowing the Yuan army to attack or escape from the sea. But for some reason, today the general ordered the navy to launch an attack on the shore.
When siegeing the city, there are strong troops and strong troops, but instead use the navy. Su Jingyu was puzzled, but he also received the order very quickly. His Su family army was not a pure navy, and had been attacking cities and resisting the enemy in the early years. However, as he wandered on the sea, the Su family army slowly transformed into the navy. However, his old foundation was still there, and he could still be separated from the army when he went ashore with his shoes.
However, the next order almost made Su Jingyu curse: the Su family army camp does not move, only the new recruit camp is used.
To attack such a strong city, use the new recruits? The new recruits who have been reorganized for only a few months, isn’t this going to kill them?
Su Jingyu took the sign with a gloomy face. He thought of a possible possibility - the general did not want the Su family army to grow and wanted to use the Yuan army to weaken them, otherwise he would not be able to explain why he used the navy to attack the city.
When Su Jingyu talked about this consideration to Su Jingzhan, the new generation of the Su family helms a calm face and said only one sentence: "Stop talking nonsense, and then go to the battle after receiving the order."
No matter how resentful Su Jingyu was, he had no choice but to choose on the battlefield. After receiving the order, he had to go out to fight.
The main generals were all doubtful, not to mention the soldiers below. When the soldiers in the new recruits heard the order, they were all uproar. Most of the new recruits were surrendered, and they were thinking about "Would we use us as cannon fodder?" As a result, the troops were in chaos. Hundreds of people could not set up the formation for a long time, and the soldiers' energy and physical strength were consumed in a noisy and back-and-forth manner.
Chang Tai, Chen Pingbo, Wan Zhong and other generals who were watching the battle on the sea warship could not bear to see it, and couldn't help asking Zhao Lie for battle.
Zhao Lie said lightly: "No hurry, when you take action, wait patiently."
The generals looked at their direct boss again, but saw Jiang Fenglie, Ouyang Guanhou, Zhang Ba, Su Jingzhan and others all had no expression on their faces and had no choice but to withdraw.
As soon as Chang Tai left the cabin, he put down his fists and looked back at the chaotic array between the enemy buildings in the north and south of Baishakou, and was extremely depressed: "I really don't know what the general is thinking. Sending these soldiers to the front line will make me lose the majesty of my Dragon Que Army?"
"That's right." Wan Zhong was also very upset. He had been remembering this song for a long time.
Chen Pingbo was worried, "If this formation is a little bit powerful, if the dragon is more courageous, it would be a bad thing to go out of the city to fight back."
...
At the top of Qiongguan City and above the quilt tower, Long Wenmang and the generals of the Yuan army looked at the situation under the city. They were first surprised, then doubtful, and their eyes lit up.
Long Wenmang called a hundred households: "How to query?"
The hundred households saluted and said, "Reported to the envoy Xuan, the last general has asked clearly, and many subordinates have recognized that the army under the city was mostly soldiers who went on the expedition with the commander of Ali Hague that day. Some of them were people from the same battalion."
After a while, another hundred households hurried over to salute and report: "There are dozens of miles below the Baishakou, and there are no people from the Song Dynasty ambush."
Long Wenmang nodded and asked another experienced aide: "What is your opinion on life?"
The aide said: "Although the army of Yass was defeated and surrendered, the time for the training was still short, the people's hearts were not settled, and the morale of the army was unstable, so they drove the attack on the city, which was inevitable to be overwhelmed. Xuanzhe, this is a good opportunity."
The generals said one after another: "Encourt Xuan, Mr. Xie's words are reasonable. Why should we wait for the Song people to attack? Let's take advantage of the unstable formation and fight out of the city to defeat the enemy's agility. Encourt Xuan, give an order."
Long Wenmang pondered: "How can the Song army musketeers from the enemy building in the north and south?"
Mr. Xie said: "Send a victorious army and quickly rush into the Song army formation. As long as the two armies meet, the musket will not dare to fire, otherwise the enemy and us will be injured."
A warrior?!
The generals looked at the three of them together: Luodian Lord Mi Lao, the retreating man Lord Lan Nu, and the big dragon Lord Shi Sheng.
When it comes to ferocity and speed, there is really no match for these natives of the foreign soldiers. They are not good at fighting formations, but the surprise attack is perfect.
Long Wenmao looked at the three masters.
The Lords of the Three Gate gathered together and muttered for a while, and then the Lord of the Luodian Lord said, "We want one hundred cows, two hundred sheep, grains, and fifty stones of cloth. Well, that's about it."
Long Wenmang nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll have to work for the three masters."
A moment later, the Song army at the city finally barely arranged into an offensive formation, but everyone was dizzy from the sun and was unable to hold the weapons. Su Jingyu was also exhausted. Instead of ordering the attack immediately, he asked the auxiliary officer to push the water truck over, and each of them dripped a basin of water from head to toe. Suddenly, a piece of water vapor above the army formation was steaming, and the soldiers in the camp were filled with energy.
Then Su Jingyu pulled out his waist knife, pointed at Qiong Guancheng, and shouted: "The general trusts us, let us be the first attacker. Those who climb first will be rewarded..."
Before he could say anything to reward, suddenly the north gate of Qiongguan City opened wide, and a group of foreign soldiers holding rattan cards, waving machetes, and guns rushed out, and the strange screams gathered into a shocking roar.
Su Jingyu's waist almost fell to the ground, no!
On the distant sea, Chang Tai and Wan Zhong shook their heads and couldn't help but look at Chen Pingbo. Alas, I'm really saying it's awful, it's bad!
Zhang Ba and Su Jingzhan's two generals looked gloomy and sighed in their hearts, "It's bad!" They didn't notice that Zhao Lie, Jiang Fenglie, and Ouyang Guanhou had a hint of excitement in their solemn expressions.
On the ridge tower, Long Wenying, Mr. Xie and other generals were happy to snatch the beard and laughed. The Dragon Que Army suffered a setback before the first siege of the city. Such a rude game will surely boost the morale of the army and wipe out the frustration of the enemy towers of the north and south being captured by the Dragon Que Army with thunder the day before yesterday.
However, before the smile faded from everyone's faces, the three foreign soldiers suddenly turned sharply when they were hundreds of steps away from the Song army's position. The front team turned into the back team, and rushed towards the city gate at a faster speed than the previous charge... Immediately, there were bursts of shouts of killing from the North Gate.
Long Wenmang saw with his own eyes that the officials he arranged for supervising the battle were jumped up by the leader of the foreign soldiers who rushed to the front, and held up their swords high and inserted them violently. The tiled hat on his head was divided into two, and half a knife grew from the top of his forehead...
