Chapter 402
: Hurry up the town
Zhao Dongting didn't say anything anymore, just nodded slightly.
His army was evacuated from Cenxi, which should have caused the Yuan army to be slightly paralyzed, right?
If the Yuan army thought they would not dare to snatch their heads, it would undoubtedly be easier to secretly capture Su'e Town.
In this way, the policy of dealing with the sudden change of situation was officially finalized in the Cenxi Palace Hall.
Before the generals left, Zhao Dongting personally wrote a superstition, asking the fast horse to convey Wen Tianxiang, who was stationed in the borders of Tengzhou and Rongzhou.
Although Zhao Dongting himself is in Tengzhou, except for the four armies of Tiankui, Tiangang, Tianji and Tianxian, the other army is still under the direct jurisdiction of Wen Tianxiang.
Zhao Dongting did not want to issue orders beyond the level, because that might damage Wen Tianxiang's prestige.
After a brief stop, the atmosphere of war spread quietly in Guangnan West Road again.
On this day and night alone, more than 20,000 soldiers stationed in Cenxi left Cenxi and went west.
Without a city as a support, their armies could only rely on fast horses to communicate.
It is no longer so easy for Zhao Dongting to get news from Leizhou.
When the army drove into the wild, it could only be considered as acting according to the opportunity. This is the limitation of this era.
Just two days later, Monto led an army of 70,000 to Decenxi.
However, he had already learned that the Song army had left. He only took a short rest in Cenxi and left 20,000 soldiers to guard the army, so he took the lead in going west.
His mission was to chase Zhao Dongting's less than 30,000 Song troops, so that they had no time to take care of him.
Therefore, although he did not encounter Song Jun in Cenxi, he was not very angry.
And tonight this day, war broke out in Su'e Town.
Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue's army were divided into dozens of divisions, each with only a thousand people, which undoubtedly put great pressure on the scouts and investigations of the Yuan army. More than ten divisions that were originally surrounded by Hanjin marched at night, specifically picked small paths and raided Su'e Town, which undoubtedly caught the Yuan army off guard.
The reason why Zhao Dongting thought of guerrilla tactics was that he was interested in the underdeveloped communication in this era.
When the sound of artillery fire suddenly rang outside Su'e Town, this undoubtedly proved that he was correct in choosing guerrilla tactics.
The Yuan army was not familiar with landmine tactics, and did not arrange minefields inside and outside Su'e Town. After the Song army had quietly approached Su'e Town, the army headquarters led by Jin Hao took the lead in attacking the gate of Su'e Town, and threw lightning vehicles into Su'e Town.
After he led his army to leave Su'e Town, he received a scout order and rushed back to Su'e Town.
Su'e Town is just a city of earth, and the city walls are like walls. The wooden city gate collapsed without two cannons.
The Yuan army in the city was still panicked, and saw Song troops suddenly appearing everywhere outside the city and launching an attack on Su'e Town at the same time.
Before they could approach the city wall, they used thunder to attack the city.
Although the Song army was not large, it suddenly emerged from all directions, which made the Yuan army in the city feel like they were ambushed from all sides.
The commander of the Yuan army, Chang Ge, was the commander of Yesuer. He was born in the Northern Song Dynasty and was a Han Chinese.
He has been following Yesuer for some time and is a veteran. When the Song army was sieging the city, he was patrolling the city defenses. The result was good. As soon as the battle started, he, the main general, was in trouble and a thunder that landed on his side, which immediately exploded him into a bloody and bloody situation. As well, he was blown to death by two commanders next to him.
After the Song army's artillery fire, it officially launched an attack on the city.
Jin Hao led a thousand people under his command to attack the gate of Su'e Town first. Everyone in the army was riding war horses and holding a dragon gun. They were still hundreds of meters away from the gate. Then they fired a volley at the Yuan soldiers who were exposed on the city wall.
Su'e Town is not big and the city wall is not wide. The Yuan army only had three or four thousand people stationed at the city wall.
Although the current shooting skills of the Song army soldiers can only be said to be unsightly, the Yuan army suffered heavy losses in an instant due to the random guns.
Jin Hao led the soldiers straight into the city gate, and the Yuan army never dared to emerge.
He was full of energy and felt that he had never fought such a good battle.
On the official road, 100,000 soldiers from both sides of the Song and Yuan dynasties fought, and the Shenlong Gun had not yet seemed so powerful. At this time, it could be said that he was showing his sharpness.
This is equivalent to using modern and modern soldiers to fight ancient soldiers, how could it not gain the upper hand?
Amid the sound of gunfire, the Song army entered the city from the gaps in the broken city walls.
The Yuan army in the city was in a panic, and the chief general was killed and could not organize a decent resistance at all.
The Song army entering the city attacked the center of the city from the edge of the city wall at the same time, which made the Yuan army in the city dizzy.
Although the Yuan army also had bows and arrows, the bows and arrows were undoubtedly far behind the Shenlong Gun.
In just less than two hours, the war in Su'e Town was completely extinguished. It ended with the great victory of the Song army.
The more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers stationed in Su'e Town were actually less than 4,000, and the rest chose to surrender under the powerful firepower of the Song army.
Their troops were dispersed and they were beaten by the Song army so hard that they dared not show up. They were unable to wait for reinforcements and did not surrender, so they had no other choice.
Among these Song troops, Miao Youli, who was promoted to commander of the Tianshang Army, had the highest official title.
After no Yuan army resisted in Su'e Town, the two gathered together. They each brought a lot of surrendered soldiers in their respective troops, but they were in trouble.
There were more than 6,000 surrendered soldiers in the Yuan army, and they could not be killed or released, and they were able to be taken into the army and consumed food and grass. This was undoubtedly a burden.
Seeing the commanders of each army looking at them, Jin Hao quietly said, "General Miao, how do you think these surrendered soldiers should be dealt with?"
He himself was unwilling to lead these surrendered soldiers to march.
Miao Youli sat on the stairs outside Su'e Town Government Office, and was also distressed, saying, "The emperor said that the surrendered soldiers cannot be killed..."
Jin Hao didn't say anything, but was still looking at Miao Youli, waiting for his next sentence.
Although his military rank was higher than Miao Youli, now they are at the same level. Moreover, everyone knows that Miao Youli is a veteran of the Song Dynasty. Jin Hao is naturally willing to throw it to Miao Youli for such a headache. He is much younger than Miao Youli, so it’s nothing to be stolen, right?
Miao Youli glared at Jin Hao angrily, laughing and crying, "Why should you take it back to your respective garrisons first and send a message to the military aircraft to decide the seizure?"
Jin Hao grinned and said, "There are 6,000 surrendered soldiers. Wouldn't every army have to bring 500 soldiers back? Can you hold on to the food and grass?"
Miao Youli was a little unhappy, "Then why would you kill them all."
"hey-hey!"
