Chapter 1083: The Lowest Casualty Capture Battle in the History of the Great Song Dynasty (Second Update)
Chapter 1083
After the six rounds of concentrated salvo of Yuanyou stone throwing machine, the south gate of Xiazhou City, the east of the Liaoguo River, was finally no longer maintained, with the continuous rumbling sound, the entire south city gate collapsed, the original towering city gate tower, as well as the female wall, all disappeared, and instead, this is a section of nearly ten zhang long, has collapsed ruins.
Seeing this scene, the Seed Master Dao immediately made a decision, but asked the eight Yuanyou stone throwers to reorient and start bombarding the city wall close to the collapsed position.
At this time, General Liu, whose eyes were already red, took the lead, leading the elite of the 1,000-yuan Youjia as the leader, and behind the 1,000-yuan Youjia was a full 5,000-yuan elite infantry of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Drums! Attack Xiazhou! The seed master pulled out the war knife at his waist, pointed diagonally in the direction of Xia Zhou, and shouted loudly. Dozens of drums were instantly beaten, and the passionate drum beat was so exciting.
Countless Great Song warriors roared angrily, waving the weapons in their hands, and assaulted the collapsed city wall.
The Liao army on the city wall also tried to intercept the Song army from both sides, but unfortunately, the Yuan You stone thrower once again showed how terrifying their existence was.
The strange and terrible roar of the porous stone projectiles thrown by the Yuanyou stone thrower was like the shrill laughter of the hellish demons, mercilessly destroying everything that stood in its way.
None of the female walls, iron armor, flagpoles, and flesh at the head of the city could stop them from advancing and rolling. And where they passed, they only left a straight passage, surrounded by broken flesh and bones......
The elite soldiers of the 1,000-yuan Yujia only encountered extremely weak resistance, and then stumbled to the highest point of the collapsed ruins.
The standard-bearer raised the banner under the cover of several elites, roaring the Great Song Wansheng, and countless heroic and fearless Great Song soldiers around him crossed them and continued to move forward, forward!
"Strong my Great Song Western Army......" Looking at the Great Song Tiger Ben who rushed forward and followed and rushed towards the gap, the corners of the eyes of the Seed Master Dao were moist, and he muttered in a low voice, and the next moment, the Seed Master Dao raised his sword high. Strong, my big Song Tiger is invincible! ”
The Liao army in the city, the main general died, and many generals were also buried under the stone bullets of the Yuanyou stone thrower, and I saw with my own eyes that the towering and strong south gate of Xiazhou City was easily destroyed into ruins by the Song army.
Countless young people in Xiazhou, they mustered up their courage, struggled to break away, and even pushed down the Liao soldiers in front of them, and fled towards the city one after another.
In front of a weapon that non-human beings can resist, being able to survive has become their only choice. In the same way, the morale of those Liao soldiers is like the winter snow meets the summer sun, and in a short time, the ice and snow melt, and there is no fighting spirit and courage.
When the first Liao army soldier threw down the weapon in his hand and ran away into the distance, next, more and more Liao soldiers ran towards the city.
The officers and men of the Liao army in other directions have not even been able to feel the atmosphere of the war, but the Liao army on the side of the southern city of Xiazhou has already begun to collapse the whole army.
Especially when there was a huge stone bullet that crossed the city wall and smashed through several houses, the people of Liao in the city also began to flee frantically towards the north of the city, and the military and people's hearts of the entire Xiazhou had completely collapsed.
An hour later, the seed master stood on the southern city wall that had not yet collapsed, looked at the city wall of the south city gate section that had been turned into ruins, and then set his eyes on the Yuanyou stone throwing machine position that was more than eighty zhang away from here.
At this moment, the expression of the cultivator Dao seemed very calm, but his heart was already turbulent, even if he originally attached great importance to these long-range weapons that Wang Jingluo attached great importance to, but it was not until this time that he understood that his attention was still too contemptuous for the Yuanyou stone throwing machine.
Even if Xiazhou is not an earthen city like the ancient city of Wuyan, even if the city wall of Xiazhou City is stronger, but in front of the terrifying power of the eight Yuanyou throwing stones on the opposite side, it is more than a zhang thick, and the solid city wall with solid bricks on the outside and rammed earth on the inside also looks so fragile and pitiful.
Originally, the prediction of the seed master Dao was that the southern wall of Xiazhou could be destroyed in about one day, but as a result, it took less than three hours from the first stone bomb flying out to the time when the Great Song Huben occupied the entire Xiazhou.
This can be regarded as the easiest and shortest siege battle in the past twenty years. In the face of the devastating power of the Yuanyou stone thrower, the soldiers of the Liao army were already demoralized, so that the raiding Great Song Huben did not encounter any powerful counterattack at all.
Except for dozens of unlucky ghosts who were wounded, none of the 50,000 Song troops were killed in battle, which was definitely the lowest casualty rate in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.
At this moment, the eight Yuanyou stone throwers were surrounded by the entire five thousand elite Song troops in the center, and dozens of craftsmen were dismantling the eight Yuanyou stone throwers.
After the dismantling of these eight Yuanyou stone throwers that have made great achievements are completed, they will be sent to Xiazhou City, and then used to defend the city.
"Tell General Zhang that if the Yuanyou stone thrower battalion is missing a part, or it is within twenty zhang of those Liao people. Ben is going to ask for his head. Do you understand? ”
Hearing the words of the planter, and recalling the scene of Fang Cai's Yuanyou stone throwing machine showing great might, the soldiers of the Song Army present at this moment understood more and more why Lord Wang attached so much importance and caution to this matter to the pacification of the North Shaanxi Road.
"Your Excellency, don't worry, the last general will definitely not let those Liao people and spies have any chance to get close." General Zhang, who is specially responsible for the safety of Yuanyou's stone thrower, was awe-inspiring in his heart, and immediately responded loudly.
#####
The sound of the battle in Sanchakou Fort continued, the Song army in the city, and the Liao army in the city all attacked each other with their lives, and the rocks, rolling logs, ladders, and occasionally the roaring gunpowder bullets all showed the intensity of the battle.
But at this time, Yerodadon, who was supposed to be supervising the battle in front, was now in the tent of the Chinese army, with a blue face, staring at the messenger who was lying on the ground.
And the dozen or so generals in the military tent couldn't help but look at each other, and their faces looked very ugly.
They never thought that the Song State would react so quickly, they were attacking Sanchakou Fort on their side, and over there, the scheming and scheming general of the Great Song Dynasty actually quietly crossed the turbulent Wuding River when the Hedong Dao army of the Great Liao gathered on the border of the Liao and Song Dynasty, and tens of thousands of Song troops gathered under the city of Xiazhou.
"Song Gou is really despicable and shameless, it is clear that they want to invade my Daliao, but they have been suffering and have no chance, so they will use such a method as pouring sewage on the soldiers on the border of my Anding Fort to lure my army to go to battle." A Liao general couldn't help but slap his thigh angrily and said angrily.
