Chapter 159: Bombing the city
He watched a lump of iron as if it was coming towards him, and hurriedly ran to the side.
He was still thinking in his heart, "How could Song Jun have such a small throwing car? How could these iron bullets be so fast?"
The shells either landed on the head of the city of Hanjin County or hit the city wall, and exploded with a loud bang.
The earth shook, and more than ten parts of the city wall were blown up, the Yuan army flags were blown up, the soldiers were bombed down from the top of the city wall, or they were blown up to pieces, bloody and bloody, and the scene was extremely bloody.
The commander of the Yuan army was the deputy general of Ali Hague, the commander of ten thousand men, and also from Uygur, named Eumtuo.
Ali Hague joined the Mongolian general Bu Lianjidai, but he brought his fellow villager Torheti and Eumuto and more than a dozen others. Later, he was recommended to Kublai Khan, the king of the then clan, who was also a guard of the royal palace. In the Battle of Ezhou, Ali Hague and others took the lead. Ali Hague was rewarded for being injured in the ravage arrow. From then on, he got the opportunity to show his military talent and rose to prominence.
Some time ago, he was promoted to Pingzhang Political Affairs and managed both Huguang because of his contribution to pacifying Hunan.
He achieved such achievements, such as Tohoti, Ebony and other brothers, naturally rose to a high level, and the worst one now is the level of a thousand men.
Although Ebony was not as close to Ali Hague as Toheti, it was highly valued by Ali Hague, commanding 12,000 troops.
It is precisely because of these 12,000 troops and horses that he has the confidence to defend Wujin and block Zhao Dongting's 35,000 troops and horses in front of the county.
As a major county in Tengzhou, Hanjin County can connect to Guangnan East Road in the east, and in the north, Jingjiang Prefecture, the base camp of the Ali Hague army, and in the south, they can march into Rongzhou and then threaten Leizhou. Although Hanjin County cannot be said to be necessary to lose, if it is held in its hands, it can take a lot of initiative.
Eumtuo knew very well that as long as he defended Hanjin, the commander Ali Hague would definitely send troops to aid, and even oppose the Song army outside the siege.
But what he never expected was that the Song army's artillery was so powerful.
He just hid quickly, but he was not blown into meat by shells, but he could not escape being injured by shrapnel.
A piece of broken iron flew out in the explosion and stabbed his back, making his back bloody.
Ebony groaned, but when he saw the tragic situation on the city wall, he even forgot the pain behind him.
How is this possible?
His eyes were full of shock, and he really couldn't believe that this formation was caused by the small iron lump of Song Jun.
At this time, dozens of shells were already whistling towards the city.
The Yuan army screamed, and even the warriors carrying the big flags were bombed down to the city, and they were still holding the flag embroidered with the tiger in their hands.
How can I guard this city?
Ebony was stunned on the ground, and the panicked Yuan soldiers next to him pulled him a few times, but he was still reluctant to leave.
He was full of confidence and thought that the city wall he had specially reinforced could definitely block the Song army's catapult. But now, the city wall is as fragile as tofu.
When the general next to him saw his side, he could only be foolishly bombed, with a very anxious look on his face, "Master, what should we do?"
Ebony came back to her senses, her eyes flashed, and her gloomy face did not speak.
He had no good ideas in his mind for a while, but as the leader, he knew that he could not panic, otherwise he would have lost this battle.
The doctor who followed the army saw him sitting up, hurried over to help him clean up the wound.
The iron piece was embedded very deeply. The doctor was nervous because he was captured by the Yuan army from the people. His hands were trembling slightly. The pain made the ebony sweat. But he was worthy of being a powerful general of the Yuan army. Even so, he just gritted his teeth and did not hum.
The genital general looked anxiously from the side and shouted loudly to avoid the shells.
But the explosion range of the grenade launcher shells is about five meters, and dozens of shells landed on the city at the same time. How could the crowded Yuan army be so easy to hide?
It's a cannon again.
A section of the city wall collapsed several meters.
Only the beginning of this, the Yuan army was already damaged by hundreds of people.
They were really standing too densely on the top of the city. A shell fell and often killed more than ten people.
Even if the Yuan army had a hundred battles, they could only be beaten, and they were a little panicked.
The general of the gang watched the soldiers running and shouting, and his face became more anxious, "Master, why don't we let the soldiers enter the city?"
He felt that if he continued like this, the entire city wall would be flattened.
The ebony dragged his beard slightly widened, "If we abandoned the city wall, wouldn't the Song army take advantage of the situation to seize the city?"
The general in charge hurriedly said, "Why don't we fight with them in the streets? We will continue to stay on the top of the city. The soldiers will be killed by their strange artillery."
street fighting……
When Eumutuo heard this, his eyes suddenly appeared in his eyes. He pushed the soldiers away and stood up, saying, "Send the order to take the people in the city to the top of the city!"
The general immediately understood and was overjoyed, "I got the order!"
Then he waved his hand and led a group of personal troops to run under the city wall.
Most of the Southern Song Dynasty were Han people, and they were Weiwuer people, so they would not regret the lives of these Han people at all.
When they just occupied Hanjin County, they had killed countless people in the city. If some people were not needed to do odd jobs as men, they might have massacred the entire Hanjin city.
The Yuan army did not do a lot of such things, especially in Huguang, Tongchuan, Chengdu and other places, where the Yuan army often massacred the city.
The reason is that most of the people in these places are loyal, fierce and resolute, and often have uprisings and resisting the Yuan Dynasty.
The Yuan army massacred the city, one was to relieve future troubles, and the other was to intentionally deter them.
Ali Hague is very keen on this iron-blooded policy.
Soon, when the sound of cannons rang out for the fourth time, the generals and the Yuan army used swords and guns to thrust hundreds of people to the top of the city.
In the Southern Song army formation, Zhao Dongting saw this scene with a telescope, and his raised hand was unable to put it down for a long time.
The Yuan army did not care about the life and death of these people, and he had to care about it.
The Southern Song Dynasty was able to persist until now, thanks to the people's righteous men. If we want to resist the Yuan Dynasty and restore the country, we need the strength of the people's righteous men.
Zhao Dongting knew very well that he needed the power of the people, otherwise he would not have spent as much effort to seek benefits for the people in Leizhou.
Qin Han also saw the people on the top of the city and turned his head and said to Zhao Dongting indifferently: "Hundreds of people, why should we cherish death?"
But he knew what Zhao Dongting was thinking at this time.
Zhao Da and Zhao Hu stared at each other, scolding Yuan Jun for being shameless.
In fact, the Yuan army often used such tricks when defending the city. In the past, most generals of the Southern Song Dynasty did not care about it. Compared with the rise and fall of the entire country, the lives of the people were nothing.
