It was not until early morning that Ilik fell asleep. Not long after he fell asleep, Asil hurried in and whispered: "King, the Song army in the east is approaching, and it seems to be about to attack the city!"

Ilic sat up all of a sudden and whispered: "The Song army in front is going to attack?"

Asil nodded: "Not bad. Before dawn, their army moved forward on a large scale and had already entered the castle more than a hundred steps."

Ilik hurriedly put on his coat and said, "Take me to see it quickly! I originally wanted to supervise the battle myself today and drive the Song army out of the middle. The frontal army began to attack, but there was no energy. The frontal attack, the Song army wanted to end the war."

After discovering that they were surrounded yesterday, Ilik realized that the Song army was deliberately postponing the attack head-on, and they wanted to divide and surround themselves. What is the reason for their boldness? Anyway, it was done and the situation was extremely dangerous. Yesterday afternoon, Ilik was very anxious that he did not drive away the Song army in the middle. He originally wanted to supervise the battle himself today, but he didn't want the Song army to attack.

It is actually nothing strange that Du Zhongxiao dared to use less than 50,000 troops to divide and surround more than 70,000 Black Sweat Army. The Song army that uses firearms must reach the same firepower density, and the army density is much smaller than cold weapons. If there are artillery, generally one-third to one-fifth of the troops can have the same firepower as the Cold Sweat Army. The more than 40,000 people in the Song army, which is converted into a cold weapon army, should be 130,000 to 200,000. In other words, the Song army is more than twice the size of the Black Sweat Army by firepower, so it is certainly possible to divide and surround.

Du Zhongxiao's conservative tactics are mainly because he has doubts about the abilities of the middle and lower-level officers in the army. Nowadays, most of the middle and lower-level officers in the army are transferred from the imperial guards and then entered the Wudu Military Academy to study. Now it seems that the results are acceptable for two years of study from time to time.

When he arrived at the castle, Asil hesitated and said to Ilik: "King, the Song army has surrounded it. The castle has been covered by their artillery fire. It is better not to go to the city. If you go to the city and be seen by the other party, a round of cannons will come--"

"How do you know how they arrange it if you don't go to the city? Needless to say, let's go to the city to see!"

After saying that, Ilik went into the city first and went straight to the looking building. Asil had no choice but to follow closely behind.

Upon the looking building, Ilik looked up and found that the Song army outside the city was approaching. At this time, it was messy, people shouted and neighed, and they were obviously transporting weapons forward. At this time, the sun was not rising, and looking at the cold wind on the building, Ilik wrapped his body tightly, feeling a cool air rise in his heart.

Turning around and looking at the barracks behind, it was still quiet at this time, and the officers and soldiers had not yet risen. Ilik said to Alsey: "The Song army is already in the city, and I ordered the army to line up immediately! In today's battle, life and death, and no slackness must be done!"

Alci Yingnuo, went quickly. He fought for a day yesterday, and although the Song army was separated from the middle by the Song army, the Black Sweat Army was not afraid. Until now, there are still many people who have not realized the advantages of firearms over cold weapons, and believe that they can drive the Song army out by relying on manpower.

Ilik stood on the watchtower and could see clearly that the Song army outside the city was moving a large number of artillery forward, some of which were not far from the castle, so clearly. Yesterday, I had seen the power of artillery. Ilik was determined to send soldiers out to destroy the Song army's positions, but saw that the Song army was already in formation outside, and his army had not yet risen, so he couldn't help but slam the walls in anger.

The sun in the east showed a face, and both sides had already arranged the array. Ilik wanted to observe the situation again, but he heard the sound of horns sounded from the Song army. Before he could react, many artillery roared together, and the shells fell on the positions of the Black Sweat Army like raindrops.

As the first line of defense of the Black Khan Army, the castle was the first target of the Song army's attack. With the smoke of gunpowder on the Song army's positions, Irik felt his feet shaking violently. Looking at the city gate below the tower had collapsed and a piece of the city wall fell.

Alci was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and whispered: "King, the Song army has siege the city! They have strong artillery fire. I can't stay here anymore. So I'd better go back to the barracks! The troops have already lined up and fight the Song army to the death today!"

Ilic nodded, looked at Song Jun outside the city and then went down the lookout building with Alcy.

Zhang Ke held up a telescope in the watchtower, watching the first round of gunfire by the Song army, the Black Khan's military formation was already in chaos, and said loudly: "Order all artillery artillerymen to shoot freely! After the first round of gunfire, wait for the military order!"

The commander's personal soldiers responded to the promise, hurriedly went down the watchtower and went to the various troops to pass the orders.

Due to the barrel of artillery, there are restrictions on the number of firings, and there are regulations among artillery soldiers. Depending on the intensity of the battle, the number of artillery fires is different. Today's war is important, Zhang Ji fires less and strikes more, and ordered the artillery to fire the most shells.

Ilik had just stepped down from the viewing tower, looked at the open city gate, and said to Alsey: "Order all the soldiers in the city to withdraw, this city is useless! Such a small city cannot be stopped in front of the Song army's artillery fire!"

Alsey obeyed the order and had not yet taken action. The first round of the Song army's artillery had arrived. The city gate collapsed and many shells were shot into the city. Many soldiers were injured and screamed on the ground. The scene in the city was terrible, as if it was hell on earth.

Ilic shook his head, took his personal soldiers and hurried out of the city and returned to his commanding tent.

Alsey dealt with the soldiers in the city, quickly reached the commander's tent, and said to Ilik: "King, the artillery fire of the Song army is too powerful. Should we retreat some? Their artillery was far away, and it was only two or three miles at most. We can retreat to the back to be safer."

Ilik shook his head: "Where is retreating behind? The Song army is behind, and we have no way out! Order each army to immediately organize troops to attack the Song army in the middle, and drive them out of our military camp at any cost!"

Alci responded to his promise and immediately dispatched personal soldiers to various military camps to pass military orders.

The 70,000-person military camp was not very large except for some special troops on the edge. The two sides confronted each other from east to west, extending far from north to south, and the depth from east to west was not enough. They were stabbed in the middle of the Song army. Now the front military camps are all within the range of the Song army's artillery, and the situation is terrible.

Irik sat in the commander's tent and heard an explosion sound beside him. The commander's tent was cut open and his face was heavy. He still had insufficient strength of the Song army, thinking that more than 70,000 troops were always superior to more than 40,000 people. After inserting in the middle of the Song army, he thought that he could drive them out with the advantage of military strength. Now it seems that it is a blessing that he can drive them away without breaking down today.

The huge explosion made many Black Sweat soldiers lose their minds, and some of the troops had collapsed. They rushed forward to the Song army. The Song army's artillery positions were protected by infantry, and those who rushed up were shot and killed. Some soldiers went crazy and chopped and killed in the military formation, and were soon killed by their comrades.

This round of artillery fire did not last long, and it stopped slowly in less than half an hour.

Ilik left the tent and saw that his 40,000 troops were completely in chaos. He was still persisting in the encirclement of the Song army. When the guards next to him saw Ilik coming out, they turned their faces, as if they didn't know each other. Ilik sighed and just took his personal soldiers to watch. At this time, he couldn't even set up a complete military formation. The leaders of each formation were either dead or hiding in a safe place, and ignored his subordinates. This round of cannon completely broke up Hei Shan.

Zhang Ke stood on the watchtower and could roughly see the situation of the Black Sweat Army through the telescope. Seeing that most of the enemies had been dispersed, there were still a small part left, and several troops were still in line up and ready to fight. After thinking about it, he said to his personal soldiers: "Appoint each artillery position to be closer to those Black Sweat Army in the array, shoot at them. Other artillery position should be free to shoot! Fight another round so that the Black Sweat Army can no longer fight!"

The personal soldiers agreed to the promise, and several people acted separately and went to various places to pass military orders.

Pan Jie put away his knife and breathed. Just now, the Black Sweat Army attacked the rear in vain. The Song army relied on the various artillery sent last night and the powerful reserve team to withstand the Black Sweat Army. As the artillery continued, the Black Sweat Army's attack became weaker and weaker, and we could finally take a breath.

At this time, the Black Sweat Army was quarantined for more than 30,000 people, looking at the artillery fire in front of them, with a loud sound, and they were at a loss. Yesterday they had seen the artillery fire in the Song army, but they were not particularly powerful, and they suffered relatively small losses. Today is different, with so many artillery, I don’t know what it is now. There was no communication between the two sides, and Ilik was surrounded in front, so they dared not escape.

After two or three cups of tea, Ilic found several important generals to come in front of him and discussed countermeasures. Everyone had different opinions. Some suggested surrendering, some suggested waiting for death, and maybe there would be a chance until the evening. While arguing, suddenly the cannon in front of him rang again.

Compared with the previous round of artillery, this time the artillery was more targeted. Any part with a slightly complete system got the most shells and was quickly dispersed. As the rounds of cannons fell, the Black Sweat Army's system was completely dispersed. Everyone was lying on the ground, waiting for the Song army's artillery fire to end soon. Without military formations and command, the Black Sweat Army had completely become a scattered soldier.

Ilik hid behind a big rock, and a general beside him could not dodge and was hit by artillery fire, killing his life.

In fact, artillery in this era was not very lethal. Even if the flowering bullets fell into the crowd, few people would die. Few people died, but many were injured, and most of them were injured. Even Irik himself had a cut in his legs.

Looking at the military camp, Ilik sighed: "I didn't expect that the Song army's artillery was so powerful, it was not comparable to yesterday. Forget this battle, I can't continue. When the artillery stopped, Asil, you go to the Song army's military camp and our army surrendered."
