As Liu Hongyi said, although they have no experience in battlefield fighting, they do not lack courage. Because, they are grateful to the Great Song Dynasty court and are full of centripetal force for this court.

The sky was gray.

Dark clouds hung very low.

In the misty rain, Yue Li's army approached the outside of Yongzhou.

Their black armor and uniforms seemed to merge with the heavens and the earth.

There was a sudden silence on the walls.

Facing the seemingly endless Yue Li Army, whoever it is, his heart will be full of depression.

The rain poured into the armor and was cold.

The cavalry of the Yue Li army was in front, and the foot soldiers were behind the palace, slowly moving forward. The sound of their footsteps sounded like a sound in their hearts.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

It was only about 500 meters away from the city that the continuous army suddenly stopped.

As the flag waved, the soldiers slapped their blades on their chests. There was a clattering sound.

This is to overwhelm people.

The garrison at the head of the city put the thunderbolt on the artillery cart, drew the bow and arrows, and waited for the battle.

There were also dozens of grenadiers, all aimed at the outside of the city.

It's a pity that although there is also a flying army in the garrison, in such a rainy day, the hot air balloon cannot be lifted into the sky.

"Ready! Listen to the order! ”

There were generals running around the city, shouting incessantly.

"Kill!"

After a few minutes, drums sounded outside the city. Then there was a shout of killing that shook the sky.

The two Yueli cavalry formations at the front moved out of the way, and the infantry regiment at the back charged towards the city gate.

There are people in the army who push tall towers, and there are countless ladders.

These are the most common siege machines.

The Song generals at the head of the city all raised their hands high, staring at these Yue Li soldiers with burning eyes.

Waiting for these Yue Li soldiers to advance dozens of meters, such a shout sounded on the city wall, "Release!" ”

The commander waved the red flag in his hand heavily.

Rumble.

Rumble.

The levers of the artillery carts were raised high, and the thunderbolts were thrown out of the city.

Dozens of grenadiers also fired at the same time. The cannonball, much faster than the thunderbolt, landed in the crowd outside in the blink of an eye, and then exploded.

Sergeant Viet Li's stroke was blown up and someone flew up.

Immediately after, the thunderbolts thrown by the artillery carts also fell on the crowd from far and near.

The rumbling was endless.

Many potholes appeared in the originally flat land outside the city.

The neat formation of the Viet Li army became slightly scattered.

Under the power of the thunderous grenadier shells, no one will not be cowardly.

The shouts of the soldiers of Yue Li were completely muffled.

Their original rainbow-like momentum seemed to have fallen to the bottom in an instant.

The generals in the rear army formation were also stunned.

They had seen the power of thunder, and they did not feel invincible. But he didn't expect that the grenadier in the Song army was several times more powerful than the thunder.

Seeing the soldiers in front of them being blown to pieces, these generals felt a chill in their hearts, which was even more cold than this spring rain.

By this time, a second wave of shells had already fallen on the city.

The infantry army array attacking the city gate was crying father and mother, and the formation was even more scattered.

Hood Zishi looked at Chen Guojun and said, "Boss, order the withdrawal of the troops!" We can't take this Yongzhou City. ”

His eyes fell on the city.

The Song army at the head of the city was densely packed.

They have a total of 30,000 soldiers left, and they are afraid that if they fight hard, they may not be able to take this Yongzhou City.

Chen Guojun's eyes looked at the artillery trucks and thunderstorms on the city, and muttered in a low voice, "It would be great if our dynasty could also have such an armament......

He sighed, "Order Mingjin......"

He just came to test the depth of Yongzhou City. And now, although the city has just been attacked, it can already be seen that the Song army in the city has some heritage.

Just these artillery carts and grenadiers doomed this Yongzhou City to not be taken by their Yue Li army.

Hood Zishi nodded, and said to the herald next to him: "Mingjin retreat!" ”

Neither he nor Chen Guojun planned to let these foot soldiers rush to the city gate. Because Yongzhou City can't be taken, any further fight will only increase casualties.

There was an abrupt sound of gold.

Before and after, the infantry of the Yue Li Army has only taken two or three minutes from the time of launching the attack to the present.

The crowd retreated.

But the cannon was still ringing on the city.

It wasn't until these Yue Li army foot soldiers retreated behind the cavalry that the Song army generals at the head of the city reacted and asked people to stop throwing thunder.

That's it?

Everyone looked at the Yue Li army outside the city in a bit of a daze.

Such a siege is inevitably too anticlimactic.

It wasn't until a long time later, when the Yue Li army outside the city began to retreat slowly, that the garrisons at the head of the city came to their senses.

Cheers echoed through the city.

Although the Yue Li army did not attack the city in a big way, their retreat was a victory for the Great Song Dynasty.

Such a victory can also make these garrisons who have never been on the battlefield feel sincerely happy and excited.

In comparison, the expressions on the faces of Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong and others are undoubtedly much more flat.

Zhu Haiwang tilted his head and said to Liu Hongyi: "Yue Li Jun is here to test our reality......

Liu Hongyi nodded, and said with a chuckle: "They are still smart." It's just that I don't know if they will have the consciousness to retreat after such a temptation. ”

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became a little deep, "If they want to leave the Great Song Dynasty like this, it is also a fool's dream." ”

Zhu Hecong nodded, "Anyone who dares to invade our Great Song Dynasty must pay the price of blood." ”

Zhu Haiwang said: "Let's wait and see, if they plan to withdraw their troops......

He smiled at Liu Hongyi, "I hope that Liu Anhui will give me and Ha Cong a chance to let my two brothers lead the army out of the city to exterminate them." ”

Liu Hongyi's eyes showed a slight look of surprise, "Do the two brothers really plan to live in the army forever?" ”

Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong looked at each other with a smile, "The army is the place where hot-blooded men should stay......"

Obviously, the two brothers prefer life in the army to being officials in the court.

Not long after the departure of the Yue Li army, there was a Shadow Hall to worship out of the city, chasing the steps of the Yue Li army from afar.

Chen Guojun returned to Guwanzhai with a large army and immediately sent heralds to Taipingzhai.

Then, the army only took a short rest, and then left Guwanzhai and headed for the southeast.

They are going to Qinzhou.

Qinzhou is next to Yongzhou, along the coast, and is partly bordered by the Yue-Li Dynasty.

Chen Guojun led his army to Qinzhou, obviously with his plans.

After taking Qinzhou, he could be supplied with grain and grass from the sea and land routes, so that his army could gain a foothold in the Great Song Dynasty.

In a strategic sense, Qinzhou is not even inferior to Yongzhou.

And the actions of their army did not escape the eyes of the Shadow Hall behind them.

After seeing the Yue Li army heading towards the southwest from a distance, several worshippers rushed back to Yongzhou City.

Liu Hongyi and others, who gathered in the city's government office, soon learned the news.

However, where the Yue Li army went to the southwest is undoubtedly a question worthy of study.

It is very unlikely that they will retreat to the southwest and Yueli, but it is also possible that they are deliberately covering people's eyes and ears, and it is also possible that they are trying to capture a town southwest of Guwanzhai.

In the southwest direction of Guwanzhai, there can be enough eight states (towns), and there is a Yongping village.

The Yue Li army was frustrated in Yongzhou City, and it is possible that they will seize the territory of those tribes and develop. And Yongping Village is also empty now.

Liu Hongyi looked at the generals in the hall and asked, "What do you think, what does Yue Li Jun want?" ”

Everyone thought about it, and then Zhu Hecong said: "They went to the southwest, so there should be only two possibilities. Either they are looking for ground to take root and waiting for domestic reinforcements, or, they are deliberately misleading our army to pursue. Maybe it will hit the ambush of our army, or perhaps, it will directly withdraw to the Yue Li Dynasty. ”

Liu Hongyi frowned slightly, "There are only a few small towns in the southwest of Guwanzhai, where can they accommodate so many of them?" Do they dare to take all those towns? ”

He didn't think it was likely. After all, none of the tribes have made any enemies with the Yue Li army now, and the Yue Li army has no reason to ask for trouble.

The deliberations went on for a long time.

In the end, Liu Hongyi and others decided not to lead the army out of the city easily. It was only that several waves of scouts were sent to keep an eye on the movements of the Yue Li army.

Yongzhou City is the top priority.
