Chapter 727 Song Army's Offensive (Part 2)

"Then what do you have?" Mr. Zhong asked General Song.

General Song said to Zhong Shidao: "Report to the Grand Commander, the last general thought that we can follow the Xia army and dig tunnels into the city wall of the Xia army's Mangdang Mountain Camp, and then bury a large amount of explosives under the city, and then detonate them."

"This is a good idea..."

"In this way, it will be much less difficult to attack the city..."

Everyone said with a big talk; Master Zhong thought about it and said, "It is inappropriate to do this."

Everyone looked at Master Zhong with a questioning look. Master Zhong glanced at everyone and said, "There is a reason for this. First, it took a long time to dig the tunnel, but we didn't have that long time at all. Second, you can look at the surrounding terrain. There are all mountains, and the underground is full of stones. It is very difficult to dig. If you want to dig under the city wall, you don't know what year or month it will take."

"Master, then do you have any good solutions?" A Song general asked Master Zhong.

Zhong Shidao thought about it and walked to the sand table and said, "You see, this is the defense system built by the Xia army in Mangdang Mountain, which is currently under our army. The entire defense system of Mangdang Mountain is divided into three layers. The first layer is these castle strongholds outside Mangdang Mountain. Due to the insufficient military strength of the Xia army, all the Xia army basically had no garrison in these places. The second layer of defense is the line of defense we are facing now. This is the top priority of the Xia army's defense. This line of defense is mainly composed of trenches, city walls and cliffs. The Xia army built city walls on all the necessary roads to enter the mountain. These city walls are made of stone, and the stones for building the city were mined from these self-made cliffs. As for this third line of defense, we don't know...

Everyone has seen the result of the attack from the city wall. The Xia army actually built a dome on the city wall, which made our army unable to climb the city wall at all when attacking. But look at it, not every place of the entire Xia army's Mangdangshan camp has such a defensive design. We can completely avoid the Xia army's city wall and attack from the cliff. Although this place is much higher than the city wall, it is the only place we can break through. Moreover, this time our army will be divided into multiple attacks at the same time, with one route as the main and multiple routes as the auxiliary. As far as our general knows, the Xia army does not have much military strength in the Mangdangshan camp, and we must make them tired of dealing with it..."

The next morning, the Song army launched an attack on the Mangdang Mountain Camp again. Lu He, who was having breakfast, received a report from the deputy general: "Report, report, report... Report to the general, the Song army suddenly launched a fierce attack on the cliff on the southeast side of our country. The Song army's offensive was very fierce, and it used a large number of stone-cattering tools and thunderstorms."

When Lu He heard this, he immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks and came to the sand table; at this time another deputy general came to report: "Report, report, report... Report to the general, the Song army launched an attack on our southwest cliff. The offensive was extremely fierce. Please send troops to reinforce quickly."

"Damn it." Lu He shouted angrily: "The Song army already knows that our army is insufficient, so we divided our troops to attack and ordered all units to guard the death penalty. We will immediately order people to go for reinforcements."

This time, the Song army's attack seemed to be crazy, and launched several group charges against the Mangdang Mountain Camp in one breath, and the ones covering the attack were more than 100 kilograms of explosives! Although the Xia army was the defensive side, the losses were also huge. The most violent attack was on the cliff on the southeast side. The Song army invested 100,000 troops and more than 50 stone casters here, and the explosive packs kept throwing them on the cliff. The Song army pushed the ladders and tower cars to the bottom of the cliff to climb; the Xia army used thunderstone rolling wood and large sky-shaking thunder to counterattack.

The Song army once attacked the cliff under the cover of the stone-cattered tool. If Lu He had not transferred a few cannons, the cliff on the southeast side would have been lost. In just one day, the Xia army would have lost more than 3,000 people, three times that of yesterday. Lu He sat in the central army's tent and fought according to the style of fighting. In another two days, the Song army would be able to break through the second line of defense. Once the Song army broke through the second line of defense, most areas of the Mangdang Mountain Camp would be lost, and the Xia army would really become trapped in the lonely city.

Lu He looked at the generals and said, "It is not a solution to continue to fight like this. We must increase the killing and damage to the Song army. Otherwise, we will not be able to defend the Mangdang Mountain camp with the troops in our hands. The prince's reinforcements will take at least five days to arrive. We must understand it after holding on for more than five days."

"General, brothers have worked hard, the Song army is more than ten times that of ours. If you want to defend for another five days, there is basically no hope. General, please leave! General Yumo and others led their brothers to fight to the death with the Song army. If we really can't defend, we will burn all the food and gunpowder in the camp and die together with the Song army..."

"Die together, die together..." Lu He kept muttering in his mouth; "I have a way..."

After giving some explanation, Lu He said to all the generals: "You all go and prepare separately! Select thirty dead soldiers to meet all their needs tonight."

"Yes, follow the general's military orders..."

Thirty dead soldiers were quickly selected, and Lu He personally invited them in the central army tent, and served them with good wine and meat. He also selected two beauties for each of them from the military prostitute camp. These thirty dead soldiers were the key to whether Lu He could defend the camp in Mangdang Mountain, so Lu He was satisfied with all their requirements.

The next morning, the Song army sent a large army to attack the cliffs on the southeast and cliffs on the southwest. After tenacious blocking, the Xia army finally lost and retreated. The Song army successfully occupied these two cliffs. After occupying these two cliffs, the Song army did not rush to attack, but defended the cliffs. Lu He directed the Xia army to conduct a long-range attack. At the same time, he organized several counterattacks and was defeated by the Song army.

A Song general hurried to Zhong Shidao to report: "Report, report, report... Report to the commander, our army has successfully rushed to the cliff and is currently stepping up the mobilization of troops to defend."

Zhong Shidao frowned and asked, "Has the Xia army launched a counterattack?"

"Report to the Grand Marshal, the Xia army organized several counterattacks, but they were all defeated by their brothers..."

"It shouldn't be repelled!" Zhong Shidao said in a little confused manner. Then Zhong Shidao seemed to have thought of something, so he immediately said: "Hurry, order the army to quickly evacuate the cliff! Be quick, otherwise it will be too late."

"Master, what do you mean?" Song Jiang asked in confusion.

"Go and do it quickly, it will be too late if it is too late." Master Zhong roared angrily.

Not long after, "Dang, Dang, Dang..." Mingjin's voice remembered. At this time, the cliffs on both sides were Song troops. It was easy for the Song army to climb up, but it was difficult to continue. Moreover, when the sound of the Song Jin sounded, many Song troops didn't know what was going on. Why did the position he had finally obtained give up like this, but the military order was not said. Since we were asked to retreat, then retreat!

But it was too late. When the Song army was still in a state of confusion, the Song army suddenly heard the sound of "boom, boom, boom..." on the cliffs on both sides. All the Song army on the cliffs were reimbursed...
