243.The Battle of Wutong Ridge (3)

Wutong Ridge, a low hill outside the city of Cen Xi.

Wutong Ridge is actually not a mountain, just an arched hill, around the hill, is more than ten meters of empty plain.

Undoubtedly, Wutongling is the best place to garrison near Cenxi County, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Not long after, Kong Yuan, who was in charge of the Chinese army in Wutongling, received the news.

"How dare the Song army go out of the city?"

He was woken up by the guards, and was surprised to hear of the scouts.

This was naturally unexpected.

In terms of troops, the Song army had no reason to take the initiative to attack, and it was so fanfare. In Kong Yuan's opinion, this is undoubtedly very wrong.

"Could it be that the Song army reinforcements have already arrived in Cen Xi? It can't be that fast, right? ”

With doubts, Kong Yuan put on his clothes and walked out of the camp tent, and asked the scouts outside, "How many soldiers and horses does the Song army have?" ”

The scout who had just returned from outside Cenxi County replied, "General Hui, it should be no more than five thousand." ”

Kong Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly, "If you dare to come to my military camp tent for less than five thousand, what is the idea of the Song army?" ”

He had 20,000 elite soldiers stationed in Wutongling, and no matter how you looked at it, he felt that the Song army seemed to be here to send him to death.

With less than 5,000 people, how could it be possible to capture the Yuan army camp that occupied a favorable position?

Could it be to explore the reality of our army?

Kong Yuan has always been cautious, and after a few thoughts flashed in his heart, he said to the guards next to him: "Order the generals to come to the tent to discuss matters!" ”

Soon, many generals of the Yuan army hurried to Kong Yuan's marshal tent.

Kong Yuan sat at the top and said directly: "Nearly 5,000 soldiers of the Song army left the city and went straight to our army's camp along the official road, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Is Song Jun looking for death?"

At that time, a general chuckled lightly, "With less than 5,000 soldiers, you dare to attack our army's camp." ”

After saying that, the general arched his hand and said: "General, the last general asks for orders to lead the army to stop the Song army!" ”

However, the rest of the generals immediately spoke, "Our army has Wutongling terrain to defend, so why bother to attack the Song army?" ”

He looked at Kong Yuan with burning eyes, and said: "General, it's better for our army to defend the mountain, and when the Song army rushes to the mountain, the large armies in the west and north camps take advantage of the chaos to return to the rear of the Song army, wouldn't it be able to annihilate this Song army that doesn't know the height of the sky?" ”

"Ben's concern is that this is not so simple......"

Kong Yuan shook his head and said slowly: "If you are the defenders of the Song army, will you invade our army's camp with such a meager force?" ”

Most of the generals sneered and shook their heads.

A general said: "If I am the general of the Song army, I will definitely defend the city and will never take the initiative to go out of the city." ”

Then someone immediately intervened, "Could it be that Song Jun has any other plans?" ”

But another general said: "The Song army only has a total of 10,000 soldiers, can there be troops for other deployments?" ”

"Alright."

Kong Yuan waved his hand, "No matter what Song Jun's idea is, time is pressing, they should be close to Wutong Ridge right now." Everyone, go back to reorganize the army and fight first, to prevent the Song army from attacking the camp from the rest of the place. They attacked at night, and the soldiers and horses on the official road did not do anything to cover up, probably to attract the attention of our army. Remember, no matter which direction the Song army or men and horses attack the camp from, they should not easily go out of the camp to pursue. We just need to keep them out of the camp, and when their deployment is fully exposed, you will take a detour as appropriate, and strive to annihilate all the Song troops. ”

"Yes!"

Many of the people in the tent will agree with a bang, and then leave in a hurry.

However, they didn't take this matter too seriously in their hearts, even if the Song army all went out of the city, it would be impossible for the other 5,000 soldiers and horses to sneak attack the camp in any direction, it would not be easy to succeed, right?

It's not that they don't know that the Song army has that kind of unpredictable weapon, but ......

Kong Yuan was still sitting in the tent, his fingers looking at his forehead, "Is it really a plank road to be repaired in the Ming Dynasty, and Chen Cang is secretly crossed?" ”

He really couldn't figure out what the 5,000 Song troops were trying to do when they swaggered out of the city.

Because in his mind, his Chinese army and Western army would be enough to block the five thousand Song army, or even annihilate it.

If these 5,000 Song troops are bait, then this bait is inevitably too small, and it can't attract all the 20,000 soldiers under his command.

Take advantage of the chaos to rush straight to the Chinese army?

Kong Yuan smiled, a confident glint in his eyes.

His Chinese army was laid out in a gossip array, defending layer by layer, and if the Song army dared to rush, it would definitely end up being wiped out.

Even if the Song army broke through the western camp, how many people could be left?

In short, Kong Yuan felt that he was defending Wutong Ridge and not moving, and no matter how many tricks the Song army had, it would never work.

After all, he still hadn't tasted the power of a grenadier. Otherwise, maybe I wouldn't think so.

The sky was slightly brighter.

The sun peeks out from the end of the earth, behind the mountains, tearing through the darkness.

Bits of clear light began to fall on the ground.

Su Quandang led all the soldiers to extinguish the torches, and at this time it was less than five hundred meters away from Wutong Ridge. You don't need a telescope at all to see clearly the dense tents of the Yuan army on Wutong Ridge, as well as the countless Yuan army flags that are blown by the wind.

The large camp of the Yuan army spread directly from the foot of Wutong Ridge to the top of the mountain.

In front of the camp, there are five layers of horses, and there are undoubtedly trenches, traps, and so on in between.

Su Quandang raised his gun and ordered the army to stop advancing.

The bows and crossbows of this era could shoot two or three hundred meters away, and the bows and arrows of the Yuan army had always been strong and could shoot two hundred meters away. They occupy a high place, and if they go any further, they will soon enter the attack range of the Yuan army.

Su Quandang had already seen the Yuan army waiting on the hill, so naturally he would not be stupid enough to take his soldiers up to die.

He turned his head to look at the mountains stretching to the west, drove his horse forward alone, and entered more than two hundred meters, and said: "There are generals in the Yuan army who dare to come out to fight!" ”

The generals of the Yuan army on the hillside were stunned.

You came to Wutong Ridge with great fanfare, did you really come to call for battle?

With less than 5,000 soldiers, you dare to call our battalion, are you showing off your head?

The general of the Yuan army with a hot temper was about to rush down the mountain to give Su Quandang a look, but he was dragged by the general next to him, "Don't go out of the camp, in case there is fraud." ”

The general said indignantly: "They are just such a small number of people, what can they deceive? Do you let this thief call for battle? ”

The general who grabbed him knew: "Wait, don't forget what the Lord said, let us not act rashly." ”

“……”

Hearing this, the hot-tempered general had no choice but to poke his spear into the ground in anger.

At the bottom of the mountain, Su Quandang shouted a few times, and seeing that there was no general coming down, he probably knew it in his heart, raised his right hand, and waved it forward.

The army behind slowly pressed up, shouting and shouting, and the pace was neat, and soon they reached the back of Suquandang, which was only more than 300 meters away from Wutong Ridge.

More than 300 meters is a longer distance?

Su Quan returned to the army until Zhao Da was in front of him, "General Zhao, let the soldiers set up the cannons!" ”

Zhao Da grinned and agreed, ran to the army, and asked the flying dragon sergeant to start setting up the grenadiers.

At this distance, they can completely bombard the shells to Wutong Ridge.

The Yuan army watched from the hillside, but they couldn't see the grenadier behind the shield soldiers of the Song army.

They couldn't figure out what the Song army was up to, but unfortunately, they could only stare at it because they were carrying catapults.

In this era, except for catapults, there were no weapons with a range of more than three hundred meters.

At this time, in the Song army, there were suddenly several arrows rushing straight into the sky.

The arrows burst through the air with a loud sound that echoed through the mountains.

The Yuan army in Xiying hadn't yet figured out why the Song army suddenly fired the arrow, and they were stunned for the next moment.

It was only more than ten seconds after the arrow exploded, and on the south and east slopes of Wutong Ridge, many black things suddenly fell towards Wutong Ridge.

A deafening sound rang out one after another.

When ascending Wutong Ridge, it seems that the ground shakes the mountain.

Countless earth and rocks were blasted open.

Smoke billows.

The tents of the Yuan military camps were overturned or blown up by the air waves.

The Yuan army, who was waiting outside the camp, was stunned.

They watched as the swarthy things landed in their own formations, and then countless robes were blown to pieces.

The originally neat formation suddenly became chaotic.

This thing is so powerful, who would dare to stand down there and not move?

Kong Yuan was at the top of Wutong Ridge, and he was also stunned when he looked at the shells that rained down into the large camps on both sides of the southeast.

He had heard from the defeated army of Ali Hague that the Song army had extremely powerful and long-range weapons, but he never thought that the power of the grenadier would be so great and the range would be so far.

How is this thing made?

Seeing the chaos of the camp on both sides, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Order, let the east and south sides send troops!" Take those two hills! ”

Of course, he couldn't just watch his army being bombed.

Looking at the range of the grenadiers, it is obviously impossible to run up the mountain, so that the Song army will only press up, and even his Chinese army camp will be covered by artillery fire at that time. He had no other choice but to let the soldiers of the east and south battalions go down the mountain.

Often, a weapon that hits far can't get too close, like a catapult.
