Chapter 56
The sun slowly climbed to the sky. Under the attack of more than a dozen rounds of cannons by the Song army, Dangxiang soldiers no longer took the cannons and then went to the city wall. Almost all the defenses on the city wall were set to spin, such as Wanglou, oil-boiled iron pans, and all kinds of things were broken.
After looking at the sky, Han Qi said, "It's time. It's been more than an hour since Dangxiang people didn't go up to the city wall. It's time for the infantry to get to the city!"
Zhao Zi said: "What the Taiwei said is. I will let the infantry prepare now. The artillery fired another round of cannons and then began to attack the city!"
After saying that, he called the personal soldiers to come and order the troops.
Wild horse Siwen sat on the chair and stopped when he heard the cannons outside. He said to his personal soldiers beside him: "Go up the city wall to see if the Song army has come to attack the city. Zhi Niang thief, there are no cannons in our city, how can we fight this battle?"
The personal soldiers stood up lazily and climbed up the city wall along the corridor. The city wall was already bumped into pieces, spreading shells from the Song army. When they arrived at the city wall, they stretched out their necks and looked out, and saw that the Song army infantry outside the city had already reached the city wall. They were stunned for a moment, rubbed their eyes, and then the personal soldiers suddenly woke up and said at the top of their throats: "No, the Song army has attacked the city!"
Wild horse Siwen suddenly stood up and whispered: "Everyone is on the city wall to prevent the Song army from attacking!"
After half a day of artillery attack, many people died in the Dangxiang army. Hiding under the city, it would be unsafe to be a little farther away from the city wall. There might be a Song army shells crossing the city wall. There were unlucky people who were not known at first, who were killed there. When we arrived, everyone was tired. Wild Horse Siwen shouted so hard that his heart was broken, but the soldiers there were not busy.
Weilekema was still dreaming, and a personal soldier rushed in and said loudly: "Taiwei, the Song army opposite is lined up! The generals have arrived at the tent of the general, and wait for the Taiwei's orders!"
Weilekema was woken up and couldn't figure out what happened for a while. She sternly said to her personal soldiers: "It's not dawn yet, why are you quarreling!"
After saying that, he remembered what the personal soldiers meant. He shook his head and asked, "What did you just say?"
The personal soldiers said: "The Song army has lined up on the opposite side, and the generals have arrived at the commander's tent!"
Weilekema sat up suddenly and hurriedly put on his clothes. It was wrong together and said to his personal soldiers: "The Song army is in the valley, how can we arrange the formation?"
The personal soldiers said: "When the Taiwei, the Song army was lined up on the mountain. I have never seen the young man before, so the Taiwei needs to see it in person."
Weilekema quickly put on her clothes. When she arrived at the front tent, she saw all the generals in the army, looking at herself anxiously. After sitting down, Weilekema hurriedly asked, "What's going on? It's so urgent! Before dawn, she gathered in the commander's tent. Could it be that the Song army came to attack?"
He did not move to the cliff and crossed his hands: "Taiwei, the Song army has arranged an array before dawn, and now the formation has been set up. The generals rushed over. Unfortunately, the Taiwei has not yet risen and I don't know how to deal with the Song army."
Weilekema frowned when he heard this: "How can the Song army come from the valley? Although the mountains are flat, they cannot be arranged into large formations."
Mebu Ali said: "The Song army is just arranging on the mountain. Taiwei, you should go out and take a look in person, quickly mobilize the army, and prepare for combat. The Song army has already arranged the formation, and it is estimated that the sun rises and it is time to attack."
Weilekema brought all the generals out of the commander's tent, and arrived in front of the entire army to see the Song army's formation.
At this time, the sun had not risen, and a trace of white fish belly had just appeared in the east, and the opposite side looked a little blurred. When Wei Kema looked, he saw the Song army lined up on the opposite hillside. The sun had not risen, and it was unclear, and only the crowds were dense.
This is true at the hills on both sides of the intersection, and at the middle there are cavalrymen, and they can’t see the end at first sight.
Seeing this scene, Weile Kema said in surprise: "How can the Song army set up the military formation on two mountains? When the attack was uneven, how can we ensure the neat lineup? Liu Ji is a long-time general, how could he do such a thing!"
The one on the side did not move to the cliff and said, "Taiwei, don't worry about these things for now. How can we set up a formation? The Song army has artillery that can be used hundreds of steps away. If it is close, it will be even more difficult to attack! If it is too far away, the Song army will snatch the valley entrance!"
Weilekema said, "If you don't defend the mountain pass and let the Song army come in and arrange the array, wouldn't it be a loss of geographical advantage? The Song army has artillery, can it still be transported to the mountain? Instruct the army to quickly arrange the array and prepare to fight the Song army to the death!"
On the one hand, the generals agreed and gathered their own troops. The Dangxiang military camp was arranged in a formation, which did not take much effort.
On the opposite mountain, Liu Ji looked at the military camp of Dangxiang people at the foot of the mountain, and his face was as deep as water. According to the information found by the detective cavalry, most of the nearby Dangxiang people had escaped, and most of the rest were in this valley. Win this battle until the Yellow River has no more big battles to fight.
Seeing the Dangxiang people lined up, Liu Ji said to each of his personal soldiers: "Go and send orders to artillery, and follow the deployment, and follow the military orders to disrupt the Dangxiang people's military formation!"
The Dangxiang people are still a habit of fighting cold weapons. The formations are dense, and the elite soldiers are concentrated next to the commander of the middle lane. For the Song army, with long-range firearms such as artillery, the first time is to attack the elite soldiers of the middle lane. The formations of the middle lane are dispersed, and the defeated soldiers rushed to both sides, and the opponent's military formations will be dispersed.
Looking up at the sky, the sun suddenly jumped out, sprinkling the rays of the sky, and the sky and the earth suddenly became bright.
Liu Ji took a deep breath and said sternly: "The whole army fired fire!"
As the flag was shaken, the artillery fired fire at the Dangxiang Army in the set-up artillery positions, and for a moment, the smoke of gunpowder filled the mountain.
The flowering bullet exploded in the Dangxiang army, and for a moment the ghosts and howls. Weilekema was startled and saw that several people not far away from the front were hit by the flowering bullet, either dead or injured. The injured person was struggling on the ground, and was shocked and could not speak for a while.
Wu Xingyao said sternly: "How can I fight this battle? The Taiwei must order the entire army to retreat, otherwise they will be killed by the Song army's artillery!"
In fact, the Song army's artillery was not that powerful and the damage area was not large. However, the Dangxiang army was densely packed, which was equivalent to bombarding the people standing, and the effect was quite considerable. After one round of cannons, the Dangxiang army was in chaos.
Seeing that the central army began to show signs of collapse, Weilekema said helplessly: "Let's retreat five miles and reorganize the army!"
Before moving to the cliff and Mibu Ambang looked at each other, and they all agreed with each other and galloped towards their own military formation. Their subordinates were mainly their own tribes, so where would they die here? Before the battle, they were lucky enough to stop the Song army here. As a result, they were passively beaten here, and which fool was still here to listen to Lekema's command?
After two rounds of artillery, seeing that the Dangxiang on the opposite side was in chaos, Liu Ji ordered the soldiers to let all the cavalry in the middle advance and directly attack the Dangxiang army. This army was originally barely gathered together, how could it be possible to stop the Song army's attack?
Weilekema took the central army to retreat. He didn't walk far away and found something wrong. The two wings did not move to the cliff and Mebu Abba ignored the orders at all, and actually let the central army cover the rear. He took the army and left directly. Once these two armies left, there were only a few central army left. Not to mention the Song army facing the coming, even the civilians behind could not protect them.
These large tribes in the headquarters have already moved their tribe members out of Tiandu Mountain, so where can they still have the intention to fight?
