Chapter 693: Famous generals are made of resources (two updates in one)(2/2)

So much so that in a mere Weiyuan Fort, there were piles of fire oil tanks, flying cannons, caltrop fireballs, thunderbolt fireballs, poison smoke balls and other firearms used to defend the city. In the end, even Zhang Yue couldn't figure out how many firearms were hidden in his city.

Of course, the development of Hehuang is now the most important thing on the minds of the officials. Wu Chong and Guo Kui did not go wrong at all in this procedure, and the reason is also fair and reasonable.

Today, firearms are Zhang Yue's political resources, and Jiangong Hehuang is his political capital.

In this way, the firearms were wholesaled to Mu Zheng in one fell swoop.

Seeing the Song army's weapons in full display, Zhang Yue, who was watching the battle from the tower, couldn't help but excitedly picked up his riding whip, waved it forward and swore a curse word.

"Hit the motherfucker!"

Mu Zheng, who was about to make a big move, was dumbfounded when he saw that the Song army used firearms more than ten times more frequently than yesterday.

The soldiers of the Fan army who had been preparing to attack all night were blown up by the Song army's firearms until they cried for their fathers.

But seeing the Song army's camp full of scattered Fan troops... Mu Zheng's lips trembled. This was not a crime of war, but the Song army's firearms were too powerful.

As the adopted son of Dong Fei, Ali Gu was also a famous general who had experienced hundreds of battles. At this moment, a caltrop fireball exploded not far in front of him, and two long-time battle-hardened Tibetan warriors were killed on the spot.

Ali Gu, who was familiar with the details of the Song army, couldn't help but cursed: "It's just a fortress, where can there be so many firearms? I'm afraid the armory in Qinzhou City will be emptied!"

What Aligu didn't know was that it was impossible to know whether the armory in Qinzhou City had been emptied, but the armory in Bianjing City had indeed been emptied.

The ordnance in Bianjing City was all under the control of the Yantie Magistrate's "Zhou Case". Zhang Yue once served as the Salt and Iron Magistrate, and Wu Chong also served as the Deputy and Third Envoy of the Salt and Iron Magistrate.

Which official or subordinate in charge of this line has not dealt with Zhang Yue and Wu Chong?

What's wrong with this old superior who wants to use your igniter? How big a deal is this? Do you dare not give it to me?

As for the Dangxiang general who was "faking a fight" on the side, he began to secretly rejoice that so many firearms had emptied the Song army's inventory. Fortunately, the Song army general did not know the tactics of warfare and actually used it on the weak Qing Tang Tibetan tribe instead of us.

Party people.

At this time there was a loud bang!

The Song army camp itself was hit by one. It turned out that the Song army general was too greedy and piled too much gunpowder at once. As a result, he accidentally ignited the gunpowder and killed more than a dozen Song soldiers who were operating flying artillery.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel distressed. It was not that he felt sorry for these valuable firearms, but that he felt sorry for his own soldiers.

The battle reached noon, and Muzheng's attack on the Fan army suffered heavy casualties. The Song army used bows and crossbows to greet the enemy. When the enemy finally approached the camp, they used various firearms to explode, and then the Fan army retreated in embarrassment...

After a while, the Fan army came again. The Song army first fired with bows and crossbows, and then exploded with firearms. The Fan army retreated again...

Just as Zhang Yue was waiting for him, Jing Sili thought that Mu Zheng's military skills had stopped at this point, when the situation of the battle suddenly changed.

It turned out that Ali Gu had been watching the battle for a long time and saw that all the battalions of the Song Army fought very well, except for the rear battalion, which was slightly worse. So Ali Gu took the idea of ​​​​trying and led 300 cavalry to suddenly bypass the front of the Song Army and surprise the Song Army.

The camp behind the palace.

It was Li Kui who was responsible for guarding the rear camp.

Because the rear camp was next to the Song army's city wall and could defend the city, Jing Sili did not place his elite troops here.

But now, as the Song army advanced nearly half a mile towards Muzheng's tent, the defense area of ​​the rear camp suddenly expanded, and the gap was exposed.

Aligu led his army to storm the rear camp, but within a short time the rear camp in charge of Li Kui was defeated by Aligu.

The fall of the Queen's Camp was a surprise to everyone on the battlefield, and Ali Gu did not expect that he would succeed in such a casual attempt.

The remaining six camps of the Song army were attacked by the Fan army and held for three days, but the rear camp was breached after only holding for a moment.

As soon as the camp at the rear of the palace was broken, the panicked Song soldiers scrambled to flee toward Weiyuan Fort under the cover of Ali's bone cavalry. They piled up in front of the fort and wanted to escape into the fort. They cried and shouted and patted the city gate, begging to be released.

Go in.

However, the gates in the fort were still closed. Zhang Yue was furious and cursed at the defeated troops below: "Where is Li Kui? I will behead him with military law."

At the moment when the rear camp was breached, Li Kui wanted to rush forward and fight Ali Gu to the death, but his followers refused. They even removed his sword and forcibly followed him to escape in the direction of Weiyuan Fort.

Li Kui also wanted to resist and struggle, but the fear of death suddenly came to him. He could not move a finger in his body, so he was hugged by his subordinates and fled towards the city.

At this time, I heard Zhang Yue on the tower chanting his name and cursing.

Li Kui woke up suddenly, his face extremely ashamed. If he ran away, he would die, but if he didn't, he would have a chance of survival.

Thinking of this, Li Kui struggled away from the left and right and said loudly: "The city gate will not open. Now advancing or retreating means death. It is better to serve the country with death!"

The people below the city begged for the city gate to be opened. When the soldiers of the Song Dynasty saw that the city gate was really closed, they were also stunned when they heard Li Kui's words.

Li Kui drew out his sword and said, "Follow me and kill him!"

Immediately, Li Kui led the Song troops under the city gate to return to the camp and kill them. At this time, they learned that the camp behind the palace had been lost, and Jing Sili's Chinese army and support camp all sent troops to rescue them.

In addition, Li Kui turned around and fought back at this time, finally driving out all Ali Gu's men.

"Keep it, keep it!"

The Song army who recaptured the camp behind the palace raised flags and cheered, while Zhang Yue, who was on top of the city, also breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Mu Zheng and other Tibetan leaders who thought the situation of the war had been reversed, their morale was greatly reduced when they saw the Song army retaking the camp behind the palace. Their subordinates also had no intention of attacking and finally withdrew their troops back to the camp.

In this battle, the casualties of various Tibetan armies amounted to more than a thousand people. Although there were still thousands of fresh troops that could be used, the Tibetan leaders were unwilling to fight again.

Mu Zheng's confidence was completely shattered, and he led his army to retreat the next day.

Two days later, Wang Shao led reinforcements out of Qingyu Fort!

It turned out that under Guo Kui's tight defense, Liang Yi returned without success, so he ordered Wang Shao to lead his army from Tongyuan to rescue Weiyuan Fort.

After entering the city, Wang Shao learned that Zhang Yue had defeated Mu Zheng at Weiyuan Fort, so he invited him to join him in attacking Lintao City.

However, Zhang Yue refused on the grounds that his men suffered too many casualties.

Wang Shao had a look of embarrassment on his face after hearing this, but he was happy in his heart, so he led his army to pursue Mu Zheng alone.

Jing Sili asked: "Although our army suffered casualties in this battle, its military strength was not damaged. Now that Mu Zheng's army is shattered, it is our army's opportunity to seize Lintao City in one fell swoop. Why should Long Tu be so cautious?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "It's not about being cautious, but about judging the situation. Brother Jing, now that you and I have defeated Mu Zheng, the credit is so dazzling that no one can take it away. Why not give some to others? The credit cannot be taken by oneself.

, wouldn’t it be good to let Wang Zichun also get some credit? It can also be a favor.”
