Chapter 48 Rebooting the Army (3)
Holding shields and carrying ladders in the front row, various soldiers who were pushing the siege cart crossed and rushed towards the palace.
Although the morale of the Dinghai Army, Huzhou Army and the soldiers who defeated the enemy were sluggish, they were still attacking the palace and rushing forward.
But Wu Wenli, the deputy commander of the army, shouted a few times, but no number of soldiers in the army charged forward.
He was originally a staff member of Ge Lijun, and he was a loyal man. The commander of the capital was killed by a landmine. He was ordered to be sentenced to danger. He finally urged the soldiers to come here, and wanted to perform well and strive for the first achievements, but now he saw the soldiers like this, so he was naturally stunned.
Then he gritted his teeth, ordered the flag bearer to wave the flag, raise his sword and shouted: "All the soldiers, follow me to rush to the palace and capture the Emperor of Song. Those who kill thousands of enemies will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, those who kill the enemy will be rewarded with ten taels of gold, those who capture the Emperor of Song alive will be awarded with the title of officials!"
This time he spent a lot of money. This reward was not promised by Ge Lijun, and he might have to pay it out of his own pocket.
After shouting, Wu Wenli waved his whip and rode a horse to take the lead in rushing to the palace. He thought that with a large amount of money, the soldiers would definitely be active.
But when he rushed out not far, he realized that there were still not many people following him, and he could not hear the shocking shouts of motivation.
Most of the soldiers of the escort army were staggering.
This is fucking!
Wu Wenli was angry and turned around and scolded, "You bastards, haven't you charged? Haven't you heard this general's order?"
"Swoosh!"
At this time, a cold arrow suddenly shot from the army and took Wu Wenli's throat.
Wu Wenli was caught off guard and was directly pierced by a cold arrow. Her expression instantly frozen. Blood was gushing out of her mouth, and she fell off the horse's back.
A one-eyed soldier with a left eye with a blindfold raised the long bow in his hand and shouted: "Ge Lijun sells his country and seeks honor, Wu Wenli is greedy and violent. Do you really want to attack our Emperor of Song for them?"
After saying that, he threw the longbow in his hand to the ground.
Originally, the soldiers in the army who were unwilling to charge were patriotic. When they saw Wu Wenli being shot to death by a cold arrow, someone shouted loudly, and he was already taking the lead, and all the courage came up in his heart. No matter what the bullshit horn sounds, people threw weapons to the ground one after another.
Later, the soldiers guarding the flag also cut the flag to the ground.
Wu Wenli has been doing exploitation in the army over the past few years and withholding military pay, which has long been full of complaints.
The escort soldiers who charged forward saw the mutiny in the back, shrank their heads and ran back quickly.
Although some generals were loyal to Ge Lijun, they did not dare to force their soldiers when they saw the general trend, for fear that they would end up like Wu Wenli.
Therefore, before the city was broken, the escort army had surrendered.
When Zhang Shijie and the others saw this scene on the top of the city, they were naturally very happy.
The Huzhou Army, who were sieging the city next to the Protector Army, were affected. The generals who were close to Ge Lijun finally finally stabilized their soldiers.
But the combat power that such an army can exert can naturally be imagined.
After rushing less than three hundred steps, I saw the flags waving on the palace walls.
Then there was a rumbling sound.
"put!"
"put!"
The nearly a hundred catapults of stone throwing poles arranged along the city walls were raised high, and stones as big as horse heads could roar towards the Huzhou Army, Dinghai Army, and breaking the enemy's attack array.
Some soldiers carrying shields in the front row were smashed to the ground, and some soldiers pushing siege cars were even beaten to the ground.
However, there are still too few catapults and insufficient lethality. Compared with tens of thousands of troops, the role can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
Huzhou, Dinghai, and the three armies of the enemy still charged forward under the command of the military flag.
But just after rushing less than a hundred steps, the ground in front of them exploded and gravel splashed. The shield soldiers rushing in front were instantly blown up and over, with their limbs all over the ground. The entire palace wall seemed to be punished by heaven, with a rumbling sound, and the sky shook and the earth.
Zhao Dongting has already made people bury the mines here as the last defense of the palace.
When the Yuan army was destroyed without attacking the Shanghang Palace, Ge Lijun's army now enjoyed this landmine feast.
On the city wall, Wanyan Zhang stared at the scene and was shocked. He seemed to suddenly understand how the army at the gourd mouth was destroyed.
Seeing the Leizhou Army being blown up in pieces, he only thought that the trap of the Song Army was simply incomparable to human power.
Outside the city wall on the south side, nearly 100 shield soldiers in the front row of Huzhou Army were killed in a blink of an eye. The bloody scene made people feel scared. They were already affected by the morale of the guardian army. Seeing that the front was so dangerous, the shield soldiers were immediately unwilling to charge forward. They looked at the guardian army who were watching the show on the spot, and they were even more unwilling to work hard for Ge Lijun from the bottom of their hearts.
The six armies of Leizhou used to have only the Flying Army, the Powerful Army, and the Dinghai Army. The defeated the enemy was the direct line of Ge Lijun. The Huzhou Army and the Guzheng Army were later recruited and expanded. They had a low status in Ge Lijun's mind and had low combat power. They usually took on the responsibilities of defending the city, patroling, and disaster relief, and did not have much loyalty to Ge Lijun at all.
At this moment, the shield soldiers and siege infantry in the front row of the army were both firmly fixed.
The soldiers in the back row rushed up but were blocked, and the scene was instantly messy.
The commander in the army rode a war horse but couldn't even walk on the war horse. He still shouted and scolded, but no one paid attention to it.
The army actually slowly retreated.
Even the Song Jun on the city wall was stunned and thought to himself, this has not made you taste the most powerful, why did you mutinate and retreat?
But they were naturally happy and raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
Their morale was like a rainbow, which made the guards even more afraid. They retreated faster, and the generals could not stop even shouting.
When Zhao Dongting saw this scene on the cliff, he knew a little, called Yang Yidong to his side and whispered a few words to him. Yang Yidong ran towards the wall of the palace with a happy face.
