Chapter 1486
1162. Battle of Tongchuan Prefecture (Part 2)
With the sky-rushing cannons firing together, the Tongchuan Prefecture Hot Air Balloon Army quickly fell into a disadvantage.
After several rounds of gunfire, it is not until the loss of their hot air balloons is over, but they have been suppressed in the situation.
The hot air balloons also changed in the Song Dynasty and Western Xia armies.
With the support of the sky-storming cannon, Qu Rujian's Qitian Army continued to press forward like a divine help.
The hot air balloons of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards were scattered towards the surroundings.
They began to clear the road for the robes on the ground.
Those Tongchuan Prefecture defenders who walked out of the bunker or the authentic ones have now been exposed to their eyes and have naturally become their bombing targets.
This naturally puts the pressure on the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture on the ground.
They are dealing with attacks from the air and the ground at the same time, and they have no way to deal with hot air balloons in the air.
Apart from complaining in my heart that the hot air balloon on my side is really useless, it is really only a blow.
Many defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture could not withstand such bombardment and ran back to the bunker or tunnel.
This alone reduced the pressure of the Song Dynasty imperial guards on the ground a lot, and the charge even worsened.
A soldier ran out of the city one after another to report the situation inside Yue Peng and others.
The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty entered the city again.
Under Yue Peng's order, the entire infantry of the three armies, Tiankui, Tianyong and Tianmeng, was dispatched.
Although each army has only four regiments of real infantry, and the total number is only more than ten thousand. However, such power has a great impact on the city.
After all, the Tongchuan Prefecture Army could not have swarmed.
They occupied the city and must have arranged lines of defense. Although 90,000 soldiers were ambushed in front of the city wall, there were probably less than 20,000 people.
Of course, the Deputy Palace Master of Guigu is not unable to transfer the army behind to the front for reinforcements.
Since he has not moved yet, he obviously has no such plan.
Even if there is a mobilization, it will inevitably be carried out in the tunnel. These are beyond the sight of the Song army soldiers.
The deputy palace master of Guigu, Chi Fenggu and others could not have made soldiers appear on the streets when air supremacy was gradually occupied by the Western Xia and Song dynasties.
The battle in the city is even more intense.
As the remaining infantry corpses of the Song Dynasty imperial guards rushed into the city, hundreds of meters inside the city were soon occupied by the Song Dynasty imperial guards.
The defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture who were hiding in the shelter and did not dare to show their heads were all surrounded and annihilated.
It is not easy for the Song Dynasty imperial guards to break through those authentic things.
The Deputy Palace Master Guigu and others arranged heavy troops at the tunnel entrance.
These soldiers all resisted with thunder and thunder, and their lethality was definitely not low.
Gradually, corpses were everywhere in the city.
The smell of blood spreads in the air with the smoke.
However, there has never been any wars in the two armies.
It seems that after Zhao Dongting invented many thermal weapons, the cold weapons have gradually been injected into the cold palace.
Take the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty for example. Unless they are iron cavalry or are killed to the point where they are exhausted from ammunition and food, they will basically not focus on swords and guns.
The Dragon Gun is much more powerful than the sword and gun.
That is, Zhao Dongting has not yet popularized the Shenlong gun to every soldier in the army, otherwise, it would be closer to a modern war.
It is conceivable that the advantage it has to use modern troops to deal with cold weapons troops is to deal with them.
The fight did not end until noon.
After nearly two hours of fighting, nearly half of the northern urban area of Tongchuan Prefecture was taken down by the Song Dynasty imperial guards.
The hot air balloons of the Tongchuan Prefecture defenders continued to retreat, causing heavy losses.
The morale of the defenders gradually declined.
Although they still have many soldiers, they are afraid that anyone can defend Tongchuan Mansion and are not sure.
The battle ended first by the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
At this time, Yue Peng led the iron cavalry outside the city to the city and let the soldiers sing gold in the city.
He didn't want the soldiers to fight so tiredly anymore.
He was determined to win the Tongchuan Prefecture. He was not in a hurry to destroy all the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture in the city immediately.
Because he was not afraid that the Tongchuan Prefecture Army could run out of the city.
Hot air balloons in the air are not decorations.
If the Tongchuan Prefecture Army withdrew from the city, it would be more in line with Yue Peng's wishes.
At that time, the soldiers of the New Song and Dali in Tongchuan Prefecture will be completely defeated.
Just inside the city, the Song Dynasty imperial guards and the Western Xia army began to make meals.
Heliancheng and Qu Rujian were both invited to the yard where Yue Peng temporarily stopped.
When the two saw Yue Peng, their faces were a little complicated.
They knew that the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were strong, but they never thought that they would be so strong.
The 90,000 defenders in Tongchuan Prefecture could not resist the offensive of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards.
They originally thought that Yue Peng would eventually ask their Xixia army to help, but now it seems that it may not be possible.
There are still most of the soldiers in the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
In addition to the light and heavy cavalry that could destroy the Yuan Dynasty's iron cavalry head-on, there are also special forces groups that are rumored to be much more powerful than ordinary imperial guards, which have not been dispatched.
Both of them could not help but wonder whether the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture could form effective resistance if all the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were suppressed.
Perhaps, the two of them will really become moviegoers this time.
As soon as he arrived in the house, Yue Peng smiled at the two of them and said, "Mr. Yue thanked General Helian and General Qu for their help."
There was no wine in the army, so he just picked up the teacup.
Qu Rujian and Heliancheng smiled, but they were a little strange.
Apart from Qu Rujian's Qi Tian Army, they really didn't help. They didn't even shaking the flag to cheer.
Heliancheng then said, "Marson Yue, you are polite. Our Xixia Imperial Guards have not been used for it yet."
Yue Peng stood up and let the two sit down, and said with a smile: "There will be Chengdu Prefecture in the Xinsong Dynasty and Tongchuan Prefecture. Even if the Tongchuan Prefecture city is broken, there will inevitably be troops in the Xinsong territory to resist us. At that time, we will have to worry General Helian and Qu Rujian to really help each other. Moreover, Tongchuan Prefecture alone will also worry the two generals."
As he said that, he looked at Qu Rujian, "General Qu's Qi Tianjun is really powerful, which opened Yue's eyes."
Qu Rujian bowed, "Master Yue praised it, but Qu knew that the Qitian Army was still much worse than the Feitian Army of Your country."
This is not a humble person, but a heartfelt word.
Even though he had never seen the Flying Army, he could think of the elite of the Flying Army from these Song Dynasty imperial guards.
It is true that there are thunder and hot air balloons in his Qitian army.
However, the remaining equipment is far from comparable to the Flying Army.
Although armor, dragon guns, etc. in the air are of no use, Qu Rujian thought that there must be sky-rushing cannons in the Flying Army.
The sky-storming gunners in the Song Dynasty imperial guards on the city wall just now opened his eyes.
He asked himself that if his Qitian Army encountered such a sky-storming cannon regiment, it would have to be destroyed.
After a few greetings, Yue Peng brought the topic to the main topic and said, "At present, the defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture are gradually retreating to the city and ambushing everywhere in the city, which has caused our Song Dynasty imperial guards to suffer a lot. Yue wanted to ask the two commanders to lead the soldiers from both wings to the depths of the city when they launch a large-scale attack next time, and form a situation of attack on both sides with our army's defenders of Tongchuan Prefecture. I wonder if the two generals are willing?"
Heliancheng pondered slightly when he heard this, "Marantor Yue has something to say, Heliancheng should help him with all his strength. But... will the guards in this city be prepared for a long time?"
He looked a little embarrassed, "If they had been prepared for a long time, our Xixia Imperial Guard would not have such a powerful weapon as the Dragon Gun, and it might not have been too smooth."
He knew what kind of strength the Xixia imperial guards had.
It is not easy for the New Song army in Tongchuan Prefecture to block the Song Dynasty imperial guards, but compared with their Xixia army, it will never be weak, and it should even be stronger.
After all, it is not a matter of weakness in the Western Xia army. For decades, the Western Xia army has been famous for being unable to fight.
Even after the empress ascended the throne, she often followed the means of the Song Dynasty to govern the army, but the results have not been particularly significant yet.
Yue Peng chuckled after hearing this, "General Helian Don't worry. Since Yue has made it clear that this battle to destroy the New Song Dynasty, your country's imperial guards are just for assistance, so he will not let your country's imperial guards chew those hard bones. When the attack is launched again, Yue will let the special forces regiments in the army charge first before your army and fight for your army's way."
Heliancheng and Qu Rujian were moved.
After looking at each other, Heliancheng said: "In this way, Heliancheng is relieved."
He even looked forward to it.
Because he also wanted to see how powerful the special forces in the Song Dynasty imperial guards were already.
