Chapter 1935(1/2)
More than ten miles outside Songcheng.
Shenxian Ridge.
The Shenxian Ridge Mountains are the tallest and most radiant mountains in Songcheng.
This is also an excellent defensive place.
The Yuan army sent from Huayuanhua to the city set up several positions along this Shenxian Ridge.
At this time, He Fangsong, Jin Hao and others were still commanding Tianying and Tianfu army soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the Yuan army positions.
The Yuan army had a total of five positions, and at this time, the two positions at the forefront were in a confrontation.
The commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment of the Tianfu Army, Tang Yuankai, and the commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment of the Tianying Army, Xue Heyu, have led his army to launch two waves of attacks on the position, but because the Yuan army occupied favorable terrain and the firearms were quite weak, they were repelled with two consecutive waves of attacks.
Although the Yuan army's positions became quite messy during the fierce attacks of the two armies, the soldiers of the two armies also paid a price that cannot be ignored.
In the 7th Infantry Regiment of the Tianfu Army, Ma Xuebo, Duyu Hou, was wounded by two gunshot wounds, and was carried down by the soldiers.
There were also four generals at the military level who were in charge of the army.
The Tianying Army suffered a lot of losses.
At this time, both Tianfu and Tianying were resting.
Just in the mountains on both sides of the official road, the sound of gunfire stopped briefly.
The two consecutive attacks failed to tear the gap in the Yuan army's position, which made Tang Yuankai, Xue Heyu and others look a little ugly.
The so-called "one-stop work will bring down again and then exhaustion will bring down three times.
If they could not tear the Yuan army's position through the third wave of offensives, it would be difficult for them to have another chance.
He Fangsong and Jin Hao will definitely arrange for other groups to replace their positions.
And that would undoubtedly be a kind of frustration for Tang Yuankai and Xue Heyu.
They are the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty! Even if there are more than 3,000 Yuan troops in the position, they should be able to tear the position apart.
On the left side of the official road.
Tang Yuankai led his 7th Regiment soldiers only a thousand meters away from the Yuan army's position.
A few hundred meters below are the Tianfu Army.
The Tianfu Army is all under pressure here, and it is inevitable to break this position, it is just a matter of time.
Tang Yuankai failed to tear the gap in the Yuan army's position twice, which made Jin Hao frown slightly.
At this time, Tang Yuankai was ready to start his third attack.
He looked around and most of the soldiers were covered in dust.
But looking at the eyes, the fighting spirit is still high.
He sat facing the soldiers and said loudly: "Brothers! It's been twice! The Yuan army is already timid. We must tear this position apart this time! Can we do it?"
"yes!"
A soldier shouted loudly.
Tang Yuankai looked at the trumpeter and said, "Blow the charge!"
The trumpeter picked up the military horn and put it in front of his mouth.
The charge rang.
Tang Yuankai raised the dragon gun in his hand and shouted: "Brothers! Kill!"
He led the remaining soldiers of the Seventh Regiment to fight to the hillside again.
The sound of gunfire resounded again.
One by one, the soldiers rushed towards the Yuan army's positions.
Immediately afterwards, on the hillside to the right of the official road, Xue Heyu also led his soldiers to attack the positions of the Yuan army again.
The war is tragic.
The smoke of gunpowder is everywhere.
And this time, the soldiers of the 7th Regiment of the Tianfu Army and the 5th Regiment of the Tianying Army finally rushed into the position of the Yuan army with his courage and will.
This is the moment that He Fangsong and Jin Hao are waiting for.
The two of them used their telescopes to see the vanguard army breaking through the defense line of the Yuan army's position, and they immediately ordered and led all the soldiers of the army to rush towards the top.
The soldiers of the Seventh and Fifth Regiments had already entered the position, which could reduce the threat of artillery fire from many Yuan army for them.
"kill!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the two armies were all over the mountains and rushed up the mountain.
They were like the most ferocious wolf pack, and they quickly rushed into the Yuan army's position with the artillery fire fired from the Yuan army's position.
Soon, the two positions became messy.
The Yuan army had already lost its momentum in a short period of time.
Faced with so many Tianying Army, Tianfu Army soldiers were obviously unable to withstand their little force.
After being suppressed by the Song Dynasty imperial guards, the Yuan generals from both positions led their soldiers to retreat hurriedly.
He Fangsong and Jin Hao led the army to chase after him.
I don’t know how many Yuan army died in such a way that they chased from the front-line position to the second position defense line of the Yuan army.
Facing only the second line of defense of the Yuan army, He Fangsong and Jin Hao did not lead the army to pounce directly on them.
When fighting, you need to pay attention to skills.
Although they can win even if they fight, it will make the soldiers suffer greater losses.
This is undoubtedly something Jin Hao and He Fangsong don’t want to see.
They didn't want to remove several positions of the Yuan army, and their Tianying and Tianfu armies were also crippled.
This is a loss.
And just as He Fangsong, Jin Hao and others were deploying to remove the second-line positions of the Yuan army, they were leading the Yuan army to get closer and closer to this place.
There are only two roads to lead from outside Shenxian Ridge to Songcheng.
The same is true from Songcheng to Shenxian Ridge.
This is actually quite unfavorable to the desire to occupy the Taiwan Strait, because he led his army to attack the Song army from the official road.
It is impossible to form an encirclement force against the Song army.
Unless he chooses to go around the back of Shenxian Ridge from another direction, and then, he doesn't know how long it will take.
Moreover, with such a close distance, the movements of his army will sooner or later be discovered by the Song army.
This is obviously undesirable.
So, Zhanbutai ordered his cavalry to go into battle lightly and go to the front to bite the army of Jiankang Military Region before talking about it.
With a huge advantage in military strength, it is obviously quite confident that it can not occupy Taiwan.
Even if he was unable to take advantage of his troops, he could wipe out the Jiankang Military Region in front of fighting, even if he just destroyed the Jiankang Military Region, he would have taken advantage of it.
What he had to do in the middle was to expel Xianglong and Jiankang Military Region, rather than persuade the two armies of Jiankang Military Region and Xianglong Military Region.
As long as he can destroy the two armies and let them withdraw from the Dayuan realm, he will be a well-deserved hero of Dayuan.
On the official road, yellow dust rolled.
The Yuan army paid the most attention to cavalry, and the domestic army was mostly cavalry.
He occupied more than 160,000 people under his command, of which the cavalry occupied more than 80,000.
In the past, the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty usually had several helpers who specifically served them, exchanged horses, carried food, weapons, etc., but now, there is no such situation.
When all the weapons were replaced with Shenlong guns, the cavalry no longer needed help.
In other words, these more than 80,000 people are all serious cavalrymen who can fight.
Although their speed was not fast, based on the situation at this time, they were afraid that they could reach Shenxian Ridge before Jin Hao completely removed the frontier positions.
At this time, Su Quandang was still waiting for news from Tianying and Tianfu under the Shenxian Ridge.
He did not receive any news about Zhanbu's army leading to Songcheng.
It is obvious that the scouts in the Jiankang Military Region could not cross several lines of defense to inquire about the situation behind Shenxian Ridge.
Now the Yuan army's combat is becoming more and more professional, and there is no reason not to arrange laid-off posts along the positions.
Time passes slowly.
It's about a while before dusk is fashionable and there is still about an hour.
Jin Hao and He Fangsong rested under the second line of defense of the Yuan army for about two quarters of an hour, and then launched an attack on the Yuan army's positions.
To be continued...
