Chapter 1207 The army forces the city (Last Part)
Chapter 1207 The army forcing the city (Part 2)
The tent was silent.
Some were disappointed, while others nodded in a very agreeable way.
Obviously they also have their own opinions.
Most radical factions like Zhang Hongwei wanted to destroy these Dali troops at any cost. However, people like Liu Zhuwen were inevitably thinking more deeply.
But now that Zhao Dongting has made a decision, Zhang Hongwei and others will naturally not say anything.
Liu Hongyi had no intention of discussing this matter, but just looked at Prince Gan with a smile and said, "The emperor said in his letter that you should first be the general of the staff in Chief Zhang's army, and then promote it later. I wish you a success in the future."
Everyone in the tent congratulated the prince on his behalf.
The prince smiled and bowed, "Thank you for your recommendation, Zigan, thank you for your recommendation."
Afterwards, everyone began to arrange the matter of oppressing Hengshan Village.
Since we are going to force the Dali Army to retreat, in addition to having a prince doing this "trump card...", we naturally have to reflect the strength of the Song Dynasty imperial guards.
Liu Hongyi, Zhang Hongwei and others are planning to come out this time.
When everyone left the tent, the military assembly call rang.
Countless soldiers of the Song Dynasty ran out of their tents and ran to their respective schoolyards to gather.
Apart from those who were injured, there were still more than 36,000 people in the camp who could go to war at this time.
Thirty thousand is the three armies of Tianxian, Tianji and Tiangui led by Zhang Hongwei, Liu Zhuwen and Miao Cheng.
And the more than 6,000 were the soldiers of the Jingjiang Prefecture Garrison and the Qiongzhou Garrison.
Although there are not many people, if you look down from the military camp, it will be dense and full of mountains and fields.
The barracks were crowded everywhere.
In less than half an hour, the army left the barracks and headed towards Hengshan Village.
There are six hundred hot air balloons in the sky covering the sky.
The soldiers on the ground were continuous for several miles. Infantry and cavalry intersected, the flags were waving, and the tigers were powerful.
The ink color or the crimson armor always made the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty look more murderous than the miscellaneous soldiers like Dali.
Such a large army, not to mention more than 36,000, would be just ten thousand people, and I am afraid that it would have the momentum of black clouds covering the city.
At this time, Yan Wei'ang, who set out from the Xining Mansion, had not yet arrived in Hengshan Village.
Only the Dali scout rushed back to Hengshan Village to report the news.
Countless Dali soldiers came to the city.
Although they were defeated in a row, there were still tens of thousands of people in their army. As the saying goes, the crowd is brave and will not be so scared that they hurriedly abandoned Hengshan Village.
Under the scorching sun, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty approached Hengshanzhai.
When they arrived in the wilderness thousands of meters away from the city, the army slowly stopped.
The army was lined up along the line, almost blocking the outer periphery of Hengshanzhai East Gate.
The ink-colored armor reflects a bright luster under the scorching sun.
Chi Fenggu personally came to the city.
Most of his imperial guards and soldiers under his command were waiting for the battle.
As Prince Gan expected, after he had no news, Chi Fenggu was unable to easily command his soldiers.
These disciples from Guigu Academy were all promoted and airborne by Duan Qilin, and they really had no foundation in the army.
There are many people under Wang Zigan's command.
In addition, there were many people from Hengshanzhai who were taken to the top of the city, which made the city look crowded.
Liu Hongyi, Zhang Hongwei and other generals of Song drove their horses to the front of the army and looked at the city with a telescope, their faces were not very good-looking.
The Dali military always takes the people as the main body, which really makes them furious and makes them feel a little bored.
These guys are too unattached.
But thinking about it again, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't seem to reflect their great benevolent political love for the people.
"Set up the cannon!"
Under the orders of Liu Hongyi and others, hundreds of Song grenade launchers ran to the front from the military formation.
There are about 400 grenade launchers in total.
This is definitely a terrifying number.
When these about four hundred grenade launchers were all set up outside the city, countless Dali generals on the city wall changed color.
Not to mention the overwhelming hot air balloons in the air, the Song army's only grenade canisters was enough to break through the east gate of Hengshan Village.
Although they have many gunboats, compared to the gunboats, they still want to go farther than grenade launchers. Not only is the power much worse, but they are even inferior in range.
A general asked Chi Fenggu, "General Chi, the Song army's grenade launcher is too powerful. Should we wait for them to enter the city and then fight with them?"
This general obviously wanted to abandon the city wall.
Chi Fenggu shook his head and said, "No need. There are so many people on the top of the city now that the Song army will never fire easily."
He obviously knew quite well about the Song army.
The speaker looked at the people who were jailed by swords and guns not far away and were crying and saying nothing.
In the past, the Song army had never done anything to bombard the people. This persistence was undoubtedly the weakness of the Song army in the eyes of these Dali generals.
But at this time, someone suddenly drove his horse out of the crowd in the Song army formation.
He held a dark trumpet in his hand and shouted to the city: "Everyone in the city, the emperor of the Song Dynasty has given him the decree of literature and martial arts. My prince Qian advises you to surrender."
"It's General Wang!"
"Prince Qian!"
Although Wang Ziqian was just a few words, it caused a sensation on the city wall at this moment.
The Dali soldiers were so far away that they could not see Wang Ziqian's appearance clearly, but those who were familiar with him could naturally hear his voice.
No one had ever thought that Wang Ziqian, who had no news after the camp, had already joined the Song Dynasty, and in this short time he became a lobbyist of the Song Dynasty and came to persuade him to surrender.
And his words of persuading surrender were so simple, which was enough to show how confident the Song army was to break the city.
"Has Prince Qian joined Song?"
Chi Fenggu's eyes flashed with light, and his face gradually became ugly.
He could have predicted how much impact the appearance of Wang Ziqian would have on the morale of the army.
After all, Wang Ziqian was once the chief general of the army.
At this time, the Song Dynasty hot air balloon in the air also spread towards the Hengshan Village.
The Dali soldiers below could only look up.
The only hot air balloons in the city dared not to meet the enemy. Although they also took off, they slowly retreated.
The Song Dynasty hot air balloon did not throw thunder down, but countless papers fell down like snowflakes.
Prince Qian outside the city shouted again: "If you abandon the city and surrender, the Song Dynasty will definitely not blame you for the past."
Some people cursed at the top of the city, but some people looked inexplicably.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and no one knows what they are thinking.
