Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 720: Qingqi is prestigious

Views:

Outside the Dongguan city of Xinzhou, Zhao Yun rode on a war horse, looking up at the city in front of him. At this moment, the walls of Dongguan City were already full of holes, cracks everywhere, and many places were stained red with blood. Looking at the Dongguan City in front of him, Zhao Yun couldn't help but smiled coldly and said, "Today, I will definitely take this Dongguan City."

"Don't worry! Zhao Yun." At this time, a general came from Zhao Yun, but the general of the Southern Army of the Song Army was in charge of the world. He usually has a gloomy expression on his face. At this moment, he is also full of smiles with three tips in his hands. The two-edged sword turned around in front of him and said to Zhao Yun: "We have attacked this Dongguan city for three days. Now there are very few defenders in the city, and the city wall can't support it. Only one cannon is needed. A round of attack. It will surely be able to defeat the city wall. When the time comes, let the heavy cavalry force attack, and you can take down the Dongguan city."

After listening to what Tianxia said, Zhao Yun curled his lips and said, "Tianxia, you have a good calculation. Why should you return the credit for the final attack on Dongguan City to your heavy cavalry army? It should be the light cavalry. Go up."

"Oh!" Guan Tianxia also gave a rare smile, and said: "Everyone is working for His Majesty Song, so why should you divide you? Whether it is a heavy cavalry army or a light cavalry, who will win Dongguan City? It’s the same! Besides, the defenders in this city are not weak. Yang Huai, Zhang Dingtian, and Di Hu are all tiger generals under Xia Cheng’s account. Even if they break through the city wall, they won’t be able to capture them. In comparison, the heavy cavalry army is safe to come."

"No!" Zhao Yun shook his head like a rattle, and said, "If Yang Huai and others are still struggling to death, then Qingqi should be allowed to go. Qingqi is highly mobile. If Yang Huai's counterattack is met, it will be great. It is a safer way to avoid the edge and slowly grind the enemy to death."

In this way, Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia are both generals of the Song army, but they are arguing about who is vying for the first merit in capturing Dongguan City. Qingqi was led by Zhao Yun from the beginning of its creation, and it can be said to be a soldier under Zhao Yun. The heavy cavalry army has also grown up bit by bit under Guan Tianxia, and Guan Tianxia has shown great care for the heavy cavalry army.

Seeing such a dispute between the two, the generals who were behind them were suffering. Zhang Long, the general who followed Zhao Yun to fight against the gold, shook his head helplessly, and said to the lieutenant Song Wan beside him: "Lao Song, you And get ready with Qingqi. It seems that the'discussion' between the two generals will not be over for a while."

Both Zhang Long and Song Wan were responsible for assisting Zhao Yun in commanding Qingqi, while Zhang Long was mainly in charge of the heavy cavalry army. Zhang Long could understand that if the city wall was really broken, Qingqi would be the most suitable. After all, although the city wall fell, the remaining walls were still there, and it was not suitable for heavy cavalry troops to launch an attack. As for the persistence of managing the world, to put it bluntly, it was just that the two of them watched each other's jokes.

Zhang Long and Song Wan both looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time they nodded, and Song Wan turned around to make preparations. Zhang Long smiled bitterly, and immediately before, he said to Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia: "General Zhao! General! Don't make trouble. It's better to order the siege as soon as possible. We will take down Dongguan city early, and we will attack Shangrao next. Yeah!"

"Hahahaha." Zhao Yun smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes. Zhang Long makes sense! Let's stop fighting in the world. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, let's go to the light cavalry! Let's do it like this. !"

Anyway, he half-pushed and half-decided that Qingqi would make the final blow. Naturally, Zhao Yun didn't need to fight anymore. He laughed and gestured to the messenger behind him. The messenger had waited for a long time, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Yun's gesture, and immediately blew the horn on his chest. On the other hand, Guan Tianxia glared at Zhang Long angrily, and stopped talking.

With the sound of the horn, artillery pieces pushed out from behind the Song Army formation, and under the control of the soldiers, they began to fill the shells mixed with fire and thunder ammunition. And seeing the appearance of these artillery pieces, on the head of Dongguan City in the distance, the guards and soldiers who were already a little flustered were even more frightened. Many people even dropped their weapons and ran into the city.

"Damn! I'm ready to stand." In the middle of the city, the Xia's army general, Di Hu, yelled at him, straightened up his spear and killed several soldiers who wanted to escape. A blood-stained roar: "Who dares to escape? I will kill him first."

Di Hu's intimidation finally temporarily stopped the panic of the defending soldiers on the front of the city, but this was only on the surface. In fact, the soldiers had no confidence in fighting for a long time. These days, the cannonball that fell from the sky was not only about to smash the city wall, but also defeated the soldiers' confidence and fighting spirit. The defending generals Yang Huai and Zhang Dingtian, who were not far away, had already realized this, and their faces became increasingly ugly.

"General Yang Huai." Because of the previous battle, Zhang Dingtian was not healed from serious injuries. Now he is barely going to fight, his face is pale. Where is the aura of one of the four powerful generals of the original Great Sage? However, the expression on Zhang Dingtian's face was very firm, and he said to Yang Huai: "Let me take the Saint King Death Guard and rush forward. At least it can be delayed for a while."

"No!" Yang Huai immediately shook his head and rejected Zhang Dingtian's proposal, saying: "The Saint King Death Guard is the last resort. It is not a last resort, and they must never be allowed to go out of the city to fight. Moreover, the Saint King Death Guard's strength is to deal with infantry. Most of the Song troops outside the city were cavalry, especially the light cavalry and heavy cavalry armies, which just restrained the infantry arm of the Saint King Death Guard. There is no chance of winning with the Saint King Death Guard to fight the enemy. "

"But we can't just sit and wait for death like this!" Zhang Dingtian was also anxious, and all the fools could see that the Song Army outside the city was going to use artillery to completely destroy the walls of Dongguan City. Today, the defenders in the city, together with the Saint King's Death Guard, and the cavalry, are only less than 20,000 people, but outside the city, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses have been killed! Without the protection of the city wall, it would be impossible to withstand the enemy's attack, and Dongguan City would be unable to defend it.

Yang Huai still had a gloomy face, obviously hesitating, but after hesitating for a while, Yang Huai still shouted in a deep voice: "No! We just stood guard like this and can't go out of the city to fight. Even if the city wall is defeated, it will form a line. The low wall, the enemy's cavalry still can't take advantage of it. Don't worry! We can still hold on. Okay, heaven! Go and prepare to arrange the Saint King Death Guard to fight at the gate of the city!"

Zhang Dingtian was speechless. He knew that Yang Huai's decision was not a matter of motives, but the result of careful consideration, but Zhang Dingtian could not agree with Yang Huai's judgment. Even without the cavalry attack, there are still so many infantry outside the city, which can pose a threat to the defenders in the city. But Yang Huai was the main general after all. Now that Yang Huai had made up his mind, Zhang Dingtian had no other choice but to obey Yang Huai's orders and go down to the city with a worried expression on his face.

After watching Zhang Dingtian go down the city, Yang Huai's expression did not improve. He turned his head and glanced outside the city, his heart sank to the bottom, and then turned his head and looked in the direction of Shangrao to the south, and said secretly: "My lord. Yang Huai is incompetent and can only do this step."

While Yang Huai was talking to himself, he heard the sound of breaking through the air suddenly outside the city, and saw the sound of more than a dozen artillery at the same time, and countless boulder fire bombs were shot into the sky, carrying arcs. Flew over here. Yang Huai immediately tightened his face and shouted in a deep voice: "Ready to fight! Avoid it!"

In fact, Yang Huai's words are simply unnecessary, so how could the soldiers on the front of the city be invisible with so many boulders flying over? Without the reminder from Yang Huai and Di Hu, the soldiers also began to scatter around the city, dodge the huge rocks and fire bombs that fell from the sky. The soldiers in the city had known for a long time that it was impossible to stop such a boulder, and that the only way to do it was to avoid it.

"Boom boom boom!" More than a dozen loud noises rang out, and huge rocks and fire bombs slammed heavily on the city. Although the soldiers tried to avoid them, there were still dozens of soldiers who were splashed with broken stones and iron pieces. It was hit, and there were even a few people who were hit by the boulder, and they were directly smashed into fleshy flesh. And the boulder fell on the city wall, and the entire city wall was trembling one after another. The soldiers even felt that their feet were unstable, and the city wall seemed to collapse at any time.

Yang Huai was also a little untenable, but there was no way to deal with it, and he could only look outside the city with a full face. The attack range of the artillery was far beyond the attack range of the archers on the city. Yang Huai didn't dare to go out of the city to fight. How could Yang Huai feel like he was passive but couldn't fight back? For more than ten days, every day of the battle has been like this. Being bombarded by artillery has long wiped out the morale of the soldiers, and the next battle is naturally at a disadvantage.

"Oh? This Dongguan city wall is really good." After a round of artillery attacks, he looked at the Dongguan city wall that was on the verge of collapse, and the world smiled coldly. I originally thought that this round of attack would completely destroy the city wall, but I didn't expect it to be able to support it.

Zhao Yun on the side also smiled and said: "This Dongguan city is Xia Cheng's base area, and the city defenses are naturally very strong. You know, Xia Cheng is the number one overlord in the south."

"Follow him, I want to see how long this city wall can withstand. Keep attacking me!" Guan Tianxia's face was cold, and with a wave of his arm, he gave orders to the soldiers behind him, those who had been prepared long ago. The artillery immediately launched a second round of attacks. The countless boulders slammed into the city wall in an arc, and a "boom!" was heard, and a corner of the city wall suddenly collapsed. Seeing this scene, Guan Tianxia immediately shook his fist and shouted: "Good fight! Keep fighting! Blast me off the wall."

Zhao Yun, who was next to him, saw him, but he just smiled, did not say anything, and continued to watch the battle on the city wall. Obviously, the collapse of that corner made the defenders on the top of the city panic. They had already left the city. Zhao Yun immediately shouted to Zhang Long and Song Wan who were behind Zhuma: "Order, Qingqi is ready to set off."

"Hey!" Zhang Long had already prepared Song Wanjiang Qingqi before, and now he heard Zhao Yun's order, the two of them sang in unison, and led Qingqi to a step forward, forming a charge formation. And Zhao Yun raised his silver spear to Guan Tianxia and said with a smile: "Brother Tianxia! I'm going now."

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Guan Tianxia immediately couldn't get out of the fire. He could only snorted coldly, turned his head away, and saw nothing. However, Zhao Yun laughed loudly, screamed, and rushed directly to the front of Qingqi, leading Qingqi directly towards Dongguan City in front of him.

At this time, the third round of artillery attacks had also been launched. Under the attack of the boulders and fire bombs, the Dongguan city wall that had persisted for more than ten days finally collapsed.

Sure enough, as Zhao Yun said, the collapsed city walls were scattered on the ground, but low walls composed of ruins were formed. Behind the low walls of ruins, Yang Huai, Zhang Dingtian and Di Hu led the remaining guards. Soldiers and soldiers are standing there, waiting for them.

"Huh!" Looking at the enemy army behind the city wall, Zhao Yun's eyes flashed a cold light, so a small group of soldiers and horses wanted to block his light cavalry? It's just a dream! Immediately, Zhao Yun turned his head to Zhang Long and Song Wan behind him and shouted: "Zhang Long! You lead a team to attack from the left. Song Wan! You lead a team to attack from the right. The rest, Follow me to the middle road!"

Zhao Yun has been commanding Qingqi for several years, and there is absolutely no obstacle to commanding Qingqi. And under Zhao Yun's order, the army was divided into three in a flash. Zhang Long and Song Wan each led five thousand Qingqi around to the left and right, while Zhao Yun led the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to see directly. The gate of the collapsed city rushed over. And stationed behind the city gate was the Saint King Death Guard led by Zhang Dingtian.

It was the hero of Taihang Mountain, Zhao Yun who was equally famous as Liang Xing, who severely injured Zhang Dingtian that day. Therefore, seeing Zhao Yun rushing over this time, Zhang Dingtian's face couldn't help but paled, and he didn't dare to fight Zhao Yun hard.

Therefore, Zhang Dingtian immediately commanded the Saint King Death Guard behind him to take a step forward. With the Saint King Death Guard against Qingqi, Zhang Dingtian had some confidence. In Zhang Dingtian's view, he may not be Zhao Yun's opponent, but the holy king's death guard who is waiting in full battle can definitely withstand the impact of Qingqi.

Zhang Dingtian's conjecture was very good, but it was a pity that he had overlooked one point, that is, the power that this Qingqi exerted under Zhao Yun's hands was not at the same level as the light cavalry Zhang Dingtian had encountered before.

Zhao Yun took the lead and rushed directly through the ruins of the broken city gate and broke into the army of the Saint King Death Guard. Although the Saint King Death Guard is the foremost soldier in the Xia family’s army, Zhao Yun is the same as Gao Pang, Beast, Di Lei, Hu Tianqing, Zhang Xian, Shan Hongfei, and Lin Yuhu. one.

The soldiers of the Saint King Death Guard simply couldn't stop Zhao Yun's impact. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yun's silver spear shot and killed several soldiers of the Holy King's Death Guard. And Zhao Yun continued to rush towards the front, and none of the soldiers who tried to block Zhao Yun were spared.

"Stay steady! Hold steady!" Seeing Zhao Yun's great power, Zhang Dingtian couldn't help but whiten his face, shouting loudly, and instructing the Saint King Death Guard to stabilize his position and avoid Zhao Yun's charge. The soldiers of the Saint King Death Guard who stayed on the front line raised their big shields, preparing to withstand the impact of Qingqi behind Zhao Yun. The Death Guard of the Saint King is also worthy of the wonders of the world. Although Zhao Yun’s impact once made the Death Guard of the Saint King a little chaotic, it quickly returned to normal. Qingqi that is getting closer and closer.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" There was a muffled sound, but it was the sound of Qingqi crashing into the shields of those Saint King Death Guards. However, this time the impact of Qingqi was not so easy to block. I saw that the Saint King Death Guard soldier in the front kept the posture of holding the shield, but the whole person kept moving back, leaving deep scratches under their feet. Even many soldiers have been trampled on the ground by the horses that came from the impact, and they were kicked by horseshoes into piles of minced meat and blood!
