Chapter 1267 Breakthrough (2)
Chapter 1267 Breakthrough (2)
After discussion, they can now determine the intention of the Dali Army. However, Jin Hancai, Yang Kanglong and others have not led their troops to arrive yet.
Seeing the red sun gradually revealing its true face behind the mountain, Gu Junying stood up first and said, "Everyone, let's lead the army to break west first!"
Yin Yongning hesitated a little, "Captain Gu, most of the army has not arrived yet, should we wait?"
Gu Junying looked at the sun and frowned slightly, "Wait a little longer, I'm afraid the deployment of the Dali Army will be even more stringent. If they completely tie their feet on the sidelines and sweep them toward this side, it will be even more difficult for us to break through."
"Can……"
Yin Yongning was still a little unwilling to accept it, but he understood that Gu Junying was right.
At this time, Shi Kangsheng stood up and said, "All the regiment commanders, Captain Gu is right. If we don't go to break through, we will miss the opportunity to break through. In my opinion, let's break through according to the original plan. Perhaps we can disrupt the deployment of the Dali Army. At that time, Commander Jin and Commander Yang will lead the army to break through again, it will be easier."
After hearing what he said, all the generals nodded slowly.
As the leader of the Great Saint Regiment, although Shi Kangsheng is of the same military rank as Yin Yongning and others, his prestige is naturally higher.
The commander of the special forces in each imperial guard can be said to be the commander of the army.
At this moment, the generals no longer hesitated. They gathered all the troops and went out of Liuye Village and headed west.
There are a total of six legions, one special regiment, three iron cavalry regiments, and two light cavalry regiments. This lineup is definitely not weak.
However, at this time, there were countless Dali troops gathering at several passes leading to Zhenxizhai on the west of Chenzhou.
They guarded the city based on the pass, with gunfire chariots, sky thunder and other objects defending the city, which can be said to be a lot of obstacles.
The sun gradually revealed all the time.
The originally red dawn light gradually turned golden.
In the three counties of Chenxi, Yuanling and Luxi, Dali troops were each out of the city.
Although they were swept by the Iron Cavalry of the Song Dynasty last night, they were naturally reorganized by this time.
In this Chenzhou, the Dali army may still have more than 80,000.
The Dali army in Chenxi and Luxi counties all left the city. They were divided into two groups, one towards the west and the other towards Yuanling County.
This is naturally a combination of arrangements.
He wanted to defend Yuanling and at the same time encircle the various great Song cavalry in Chenzhou. Only defending Yuanling would undoubtedly allow him to encircle with the greatest force.
In general, the Dali soldiers who were arranged to encircle by him would probably have more than 60,000.
He was afraid that he also wanted to take this opportunity to completely destroy the army under Zhang Jue.
If he succeeds, he may have new vitality. He does not have to lead the army to fight against the river and continue to rush to Changsha.
Because with his current military strength, it is very likely that he can return to Shuzhong. At that time, it will not be difficult to go to Dali.
This is also an opportunity for Feng Hebi.
In Zhenxi Village, Zhang Jue led more than 10,000 infantry to defend the village. By dawn, no cavalry would have returned to the camp, and he felt a little upset.
He just ordered the troops to go to Chenzhou to sweep the troops outside Dali County. Logically speaking, there should always be troops rushing back first at this time.
Seeing the sunlight getting stronger and stronger, there was a horn sound in Zhenxi Village.
All the generals gathered.
Zhang Jue led the infantry to escort food, grass and other supplies and weapons out of the village, and walked straight to Luxi County along Wuxi.
Only before he led his army to Jiumao Pass between Luxi and Zhenxi Village, Gu Junying and others led their army to this place.
Jiumao Pass lies across the two peaks.
The entire pass is made of stone and is several meters high, like a gray dragon crawling on the ground.
You can see the Dali Army's artillery chariot and military flags above the pass.
The Dali army stood densely, and Gu Junying and others led the army and were still thousands of meters away from the pass. The archers in the Dali army had already put the arrows on their backs.
"end!"
When Gu Junying, Shi Kangsheng, Yin Yongning and other generals saw such a formation in the Dali Army, they all waved their hands to stop the army from moving forward.
Each of them looked a little solemn.
Because their army lacked heavy firearms at this time, it was not easy to break such a pass.
Looking at the crossing pass from afar, several regiment commanders gathered in front of the army.
The soldiers' armors exuded a deep luster in the sun.
Gu Junying frowned and said, "Everyone, the Dali Army has so many artillery chariots set up on the top of the city. If we force ourselves to break through the barrier, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties!"
Shi Kangsheng also said: "All the soldiers in our army have flying claws, so it is not difficult to go to the top of the city. But we have to break the barrier..."
Looking at the dense Dali soldiers on the pass, even if it was him, he had no confidence at this time. After all, no matter how strong the soldiers of the Great Saints Group were, they were not invulnerable to swords and guns.
As soon as the words fell, all the generals were silent.
After dozens of seconds passed, Gu Junying remembered what the general under his command said to him last night and said, "Otherwise, we will lead our army back and fight with the Dali army in Chenzhou first! Seeing that we were delaying our troops, the marshal would come to help us."
"Can……"
Yin Yongning said: "Even if the marshal arrives, it will probably take time to break this pass. Moreover, if the Dali army in this pass chases out of the pass, what about us?"
Shi Kangsheng said, "Then let's fight with them! Humph, if they dare to fight with us on the plain, would my Song Dynasty imperial guards be afraid of them?"
All the generals showed a thoughtful look.
If it is a plain fighting, the Dali army, except for the hot air balloons that can pose a threat to them, are not taken seriously by them.
The important thing now is that no one knows how many hot air balloons the Dali Army has. If there are too many hot air balloons, they can't stand it.
And at this moment, Lu Ziming, the commander of the second cavalry regiment of the Tiangui Army, suddenly spoke and said, "Everyone, why don't we abandon our horses and fight?"
All the generals looked at him.
Lu Ziming pointed to the towering mountains on both sides of Jiumao Pass and said, "We are all cavalry under our command. It is not easy to break the city, but if we dismount, we can lead our soldiers to the mountains on both sides of the pass. There are trees in the mountains as cover, so it is difficult for the Dali Army to achieve success. And we have the Shenlong Gun, and we are afraid of them when fighting in the mountains?"
When Gu Junying and others heard this, their eyes were filled with gleam.
Shi Kangsheng said excitedly: "This plan is very wonderful!"
The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty never only know how to fight in the fields, but mountain warfare is also their ordinary training subject. Even ordinary imperial guards are dragged into the mountains and forests to train.
As long as the heavy firearms in the Dali army cannot make a contribution, their hope of breaking out is really great.
