Chapter 277 Guoqiao Town (End)(1/2)
Bangbangbang, after a rapid bangzi sound, a group of people suddenly appeared on the gate tower of Guoqiao Town...51o.
Cao Rong was in charge of the battle in the rear army. When he saw figures appearing on the city gate tower, he immediately shouted loudly: "Scatter, all disperse."
He also realized that the Jin soldiers under his command gathered towards the city gate without realizing it.
If the Song army throws the mysterious firearm, it will inevitably cause huge casualties.
However, a rain of arrows fell on the city gate tower of Guoqiao Town. Wang Minqiu led 200 archers to shoot arrows down the city gate tower. At the same time, Ji Qing and others commanded a group of miscellaneous soldiers to smash the earth, rocks and broken wood from the city like raindrops.
Guoqiao Town is already an empty city, which means that those houses are almost useless.
Therefore, Yu Yin ordered people to demolish all the buildings near the city gate overnight, in exchange for the mountains of rolling wood and stones piled up on the city gate tower.
However, regardless of arrow rain or rock, it did not cause too much casualties to the Jin army.
Cao Rong commanded the troops to retreat, observing the movements of Guo Qiao Town, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The Song army's firearm made him feel a little afraid of throwing weapons. After pondering for a while, Cao Rong ordered the Jin soldiers to attack again. The Jin soldiers carried the horses and rushed towards the city gate like a tide. On the top of the city, the Song army continued to resist, but they were still mainly arrows and stones. After several rounds of repeated deaths, Cao Rong also calmed down.
I'm afraid there are not many mysterious firearms...
Otherwise, how could the Song army be reluctant to use it?
Thinking about it, this Song army is only a thousand people, and I'm afraid it's not the elite of the imperial guards.
A ferocious look appeared on Cao Rong's face, and the concerns in his heart disappeared. He saw him pull out his sword, pointing at the gate of Guoqiao Town, and roaring with hissing: "Three Army men, charge with me. Capture Guoqiao Town, no matter how many chickens and dogs are left..."
This is also the Jin army's favorite order to hear.
Before, in Fengqiu and Qicheng. After the Jin army was captured without blood, in order to appease the people, Cao Rong ordered that he should not act rashly, so that these soldiers and ruffians could not make extra money and were already a little dissatisfied.
Now that the city massacre order was issued, the Jin army will naturally no longer be polite.
They all rushed towards Guoqiao Town as if they were injected with chicken blood...
The area of Guoqiao Town is not too large. It is adjacent to the north bank of Guangji River, so it is relatively high. The city gate is also very small, so after the Jin army launched an attack, it immediately squeezed into a group. On the city gate tower, Yu Yin squinted his eyes and stared at the Jin army swarming in, and an unconscious smile appeared on his face. He nodded slightly.
Pang Wanchun really came up with a good idea.
The terrain of Guoqiao Town is destined to make the Song army defeated the Jin army if they want to fight in a field.
Not to mention that the Song army was mainly infantry, while the Jin army was iron armored cavalry. More importantly, the infantry under Yu Yin did not have the Divine Arm and Lunger armor used by the Song army in the field. Once the battle was fought, the entire army would be wiped out.
The battle with Cao Ning was due to an unexpected surprise and Cao Ning's underestimation.
However, even if the old man was so angry that he was already in a state of great affair, he was destined to be unable to make the same mistake with Cao Ning's previous experience.
Guoqiao Town is not enough to stick to it.
Moreover, Yu Yin didn't want to fight the Jin soldiers in Guoqiao Town.
To put it bluntly, the reason why he stayed in Guoqiao Town was to delay time. Mutuogang could successfully transfer the supplies, food and grass, and at the same time gain more time for Kaifeng. Therefore, Yu Yin did not want to fight the Jin soldiers to the death, so if there was no surprise, the result would be less optimistic.
Pang Wanchun’s plan is to lure the enemy.
With Guoqiao Town's persistent attitude, he lured the Jin soldiers to siege them to siege.
Only by gathering the Jin soldiers together can the thunder in the palm of the palms play the greatest role. For this reason, Yu Yin gritted his teeth and persevered, waiting for the Jin soldiers to reveal their flaws. As expected, Cao Rong was deceived... Then his chance came!
"Liang Yucheng, fire a cannon!"
Liang Yucheng, who heard the order, hurriedly bowed to accept the order.
However, he did not have the thunder cannon used by the Song army, but only one cannon.
Liang Yucheng installed the cannon and ignited the medicine twist. After hearing a loud noise, Ji Qing on the city gate tower immediately shouted: "Smash the thunder in the palm of your hand."
Two hundred miscellaneous soldiers had been impatient for a long time, so they quickly ignited the medicine twists on the thunder in their palms and threw them into the city.
This does not require any arm strength or accurate head.
At least hundreds of Jin soldiers gathered at the gate of Guoqiao Town, and countless Jin soldiers rushed over like a tide. Just throw the thunder in your palm.
Cao Rong originally wanted to go to the battle himself, but he didn't expect that the cannon made Cao Rong shudder.
Seeing countless black iron balls dropping from the city gate tower, Cao Rong felt a sudden shock and immediately knew that the situation was not good.
“Retreat, disperse…”
Cao Rong was stunned and screamed.
However, before he could say anything, he heard a series of loud bangs. Even the Jin army, who was hundreds of meters away from the gate of Guoqiao Town, could clearly feel the trembling of the ground. A bunch of blood mist broke out from the gate of the city gate.
The Jin army was blown away by the sudden thunder in the palm of their hands...
Immediately afterwards, Yu Yin shouted the order, and Dong Xian, who had been waiting under the city gate for a long time, immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.
The smoke filled the face, and a pungent smell of blood came to my face.
Dong Xian couldn't help but frown and quickly dodged a way out. Immediately afterwards, Gao Chong He Yuanqing, like a tiger descending from the mountain, roaring out of the city with the Beiwei Army. Outside the city gate, the Jin army was killed and injured by countless deaths and wounded, and the ground was covered with wreckage. The ground of hundreds of meters was dyed red, which was even more shocking in the sun. Before they could come back to their senses, they saw a team of Song troops coming out of the city.
Gao Chong danced his big gun and rushed around the chaotic army, as if he had entered a no-man.
He Yuanqing waved his double hammers, and there was no enemy in front of him. The Beiwei Army behind the two men all held a seven-foot sabre and rushed out of the city with two beasts, rushing into the chaos, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Behind the Beiwei Army, Niu Gao and Dong Xian led their troops to follow. Although they were infantry troops, they showed unusual combat power.
The Jin soldiers were killed so hard that they dared not to fight.
They searched for mounts and walked away in a panic...
At the same time, another cannon sounded on the gate tower of Guoqiao Town.
The Black Flag Arrow Team broke out from behind the Jin soldiers, causing the already panicked Jin soldiers to have no intention of resisting and flee one by one.
Although Cao Rong tried his best to stabilize his position, the situation was over.
After killing more than a dozen deserters in succession, they were no longer able to control themselves, so they had to escape in a panic under the protection of their personal care.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The shouts of killing gradually became weaker.
Seeing that the Jin army was defeated, Yu Yin couldn't help but breathe a breath of turbid air.
When I came to the battlefield again, I no longer had the strong discomfort as strong as yesterday... I was lucky to win this battle. It can be said that it was because of the power of the thunder in my palm and the advice of Pang Wanchun. I had always felt that I could plan and command thousands of troops. But in this battle, he already understood that he was not the material of the army...
When fighting a large army, it is about a calm and steady response. Mount Tai presses on the top and does not change his color.
But just now, he lost his composure several times. If it weren't for Pang Wanchun's previous explanation, he would have thrown his palm thunder in advance.
Even so, he still didn't take a good job.
After all, the order was still a little hurried. If I were to put it in a pressure, not to mention more, in twenty breaths, the lethality of the 200 palm thunders was at least twice that of now. But just now, he was still panicked and even a little impatient.
Perhaps, this can be compensated in the future.
But Yu Yin realized that if he charges into battle and fights the battlefield, he might be a good player.
But he is not good at planning. Some things can be cultivated. Some things are indeed born... the melee of only a few thousand people, so they look like this. So can he persist in the battle of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions in the future?
Thinking of this, Yu Yin sighed softly.
Although I have made a decision in my heart, I still feel an inexplicable loss.
I am indeed not the kind of person who can compete for the world... I have watched some film and television works later in life. Seeing the generals who are planning and strategizing loudly shouting "No matter how casualties, just how much the result is," I always feel that it is not difficult.
But if you really want to enter the battlefield, can you have the courage to shout such words?
What a strong and cold heart this requires...
But Yu Yin is still a literary youth in her bones!
At noon, Guoqiao Town has returned to peace.
The war has stopped. Although the Jin army returned after being defeated, Cao Rong ran away...
Although the Song army won the victory overall, Cao Rong's escape made Yu Yin feel more or less regretful.
"Today's confrontation, the enemy's thieves suffered more than 700 casualties, but our army had only 100 casualties, which was a great victory."
In the lobby of the official office of Guoqiao Town, Wang Minqiu reported the results with great enthusiasm.
However, Yu Yin seemed very quiet. After hearing Wang Min's request for a report, he suddenly asked: "You guys, although Cao Rong was defeated, the enemy's thieves will come back sooner or later. Guoqiao Town is not enough to hold on. We have previously relied on the thunder in the palm of our hands and unexpected tactics to win. However, once the enemy's thieves arrive, Guoqiao Town may not be able to withstand the enemy's attack."
As soon as the words came to an end, everyone was silent.
Yu Yin closed his eyes and pondered for a moment and said, "Guo Yaoshi will not let go of this defeat. This man has outstanding military tactics and is very scheming, which is not comparable to Cao Rong, a man. We have two ways now, should we continue to stick to it or retreat to Mutuogang? In short, today is the seventh day of the lunar month. If we hold the enemy for two days, it will be considered that we have achieved the merits.
Let’s talk about it, how should I choose next?”
Everyone looked at each other...
Pang Wanchun couldn't help but nodded secretly.
To be honest, he was about to remind Yu Yin about this, but he was worried that Yu Yin would win one after another and be blinded by the victory.
It has been two days since Kaifeng Prefecture has not been moved, and no reinforcements have arrived.
Then the Privy Council's idea is very clear... They will never fight to the death with the Jin army for Guoqiao Town, and must have made up their minds to rely on the Kaifeng City to fight the Jin army. In two days, they will surely make a lot of preparations.
“Brother means…”
Gao Chong couldn't help but speak.
To be continued...
