Chapter 27 Lin'an Victory (1)
What made Boyan dissatisfied was that Alahan's slow movements were not moving into the city in time, giving him strong support. The reason why Alahan was unable to enter the city was very simple, because the suspension bridge was blown up, and he also issued an offensive order as excitedly as Boyan. However, when he found that the suspension bridge was blown up, he did not have the courage of Boyan to fill the moat with the body of his soldiers, and ordered the soldiers to dig soil to fill the river, and wanted to wait until the moat was filled before entering the city.
The suspension bridge was blown up by pure surprise, and there was no solution at all. There was no digging tool in a hurry, so how could the moat be filled so quickly. Alahan, who was looking forward to winning the victory in entering the city, never expected that Gundam actually led his army out of the city and attacked the Hui Hui artillery. When he got the news, he thought that the Song army was going to abandon the city and fled, so he hurriedly dispatched troops to intercept it. It was not until the Hui Hui artillery was blown that he suddenly realized, but unfortunately it was too late.
Alahan has experienced many battles and has rich combat experience, so he would not have made such a low-level mistake. Since the Mongolian army advanced, the Song army was about to collapse and it was difficult to have a decent battle. Lin'an City was about to be broken, and abandon the city and flee far away seemed to be the most correct inference for Alahan.
If it were usual, this inference was extremely correct, but today it was an unforgivable mistake.
Gundam is a famous general, good at using fighter jets to cause major damage to the enemy. He knew that the later the Alakhan tribe, the more beneficial it would be for Li Jun to withdraw from the city. He decided to harass the Alakhan tribe and lead the army to rush over.
The Yuan army was determined to rush into the city, but they were not in the mood to get entangled with him. They often avoided it and would fight if they really didn't work. However, Gundam's first wave of attacks actually achieved considerable results, almost disrupting the Yuan army's formation. It was still Alahan organized an effective resistance and led his army to encircle Gundam, hoping to eat Gundam outside the city.
Gundam would not be so stupid that he would be entangled with Alahan, and shouted: "Tartars, if you have the guts, go play with your Grandpa Gao in the city." He led his army to flash the crowd.
Of course, Alahan would not miss this opportunity and led his army to chase after Xinkaimen. Gundam broke the rear personally, and after the Song army retreated into the city, the suspension bridge was pulled up. Alahan could only look at the bridge and sigh. The troops that left the city to destroy Hui artillery all entered and exited from other city gates. Gundam was walking on Xinkaimen, and Li Jun was walking on Genshan Gate.
The situation in the city was that although Boyan rushed into Dongqing Gate, the Yuan army could not break through the dense firepower suppression of the Song army, and the results were not large, and the combat scope had not been expanded. The fierce battle was only carried out within a very small area around the Dongqing Gate area.
As soon as Gundam entered the city, a lieutenant rode over to convey Li Jun's order to lead his troops to guard Chongxin Gate to death and not let a Yuan army in.
Gundam admired Li Jun very much, and carried out the order without thinking, waved his hand: "You go and reply to the emperor, just say that as long as Gundam has a breath, there will be no Tartar in Chongxin Sect."
The captain saluted and left.
Gundam waved his sword and shouted: "Boys, the emperor said, we must stick to Chongxin Sect. I told the emperor that as long as I am angry, I will just let a Tartar come in. Now, I tell you, if anyone does not fight hard, let a Tartar come in, I Gundam recognize you, and the sword in my hand will not recognize you. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!"
The soldiers inspired him, and their blood was boiling. They raised their arms and shouted: "Long live the emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!" The roars formed a strong battle song, soaring into the sky.
"They are crazy? Why are they yelling for no reason?" Alahan couldn't understand why Gundam and the others roared like lions and said to themselves.
Looking at the Song army in Chongxin Sect, Alahan was a little stunned. Not to mention anything else, the moat was enough to make him suffer. How to cross the river really made him feel troubled. He was not as stern as Boyan. He was not as stern as he was. It would be strange if he was not stunned if he was not stunned.
Boyan solved this problem for him. While Alahan was hesitating, a team of personal soldiers from Boyan came over. The captain saluted him and conveyed Boyan's order, saying: "The Prime Minister has an order. You must immediately capture Chongxin Sect and give the Prime Minister strong support."
Alahan said, "I think so, but how did I cross the river? How is the Prime Minister there?"
"Sir, the Prime Minister is making slow progress, and you need your troops to break into the city to provide strong support." The captain of the personal soldiers replied, looking at the moat: "The Prime Minister said that the moat is not a problem, only if you are hard-hearted, the moat is a small pool."
Alahan is also a smart man, so he naturally understands what Boyan means to be hardened. He gasps and says, "They are all good men from Mongolia, I can't do it."
The captain of the personal soldiers waved his hand and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, obviously he was about to take him. Alahan cursed: "Boyan, you are so cruel. You actually want the eagles on our grassland to fill the river." He took a breath and ordered: "Fighting formation, charge! Target: Chongxin Sect." Finally, he executed Boyan's fatal order.
In fact, Boyan also had his own difficulties. He originally thought that he could carry out street fighting by rushing into the city. With the Yuan army's skillful scimitar skills, street fighting would never suffer any losses. It was a matter of time to capture Lin'an. However, the Song army responded very quickly and even set up a blockade line in a short period of time. Not only did the steel crossbows shoot endlessly, the deadly zha medicine bags were thrown into the formation from time to time, with great casualties. After paying an extremely heavy price, it was still difficult to conflict with the blockade line and expand the scope of the combat.
The Yuan army soldiers outside Dongqing Gate were surrounded by people, and the people behind were sucking the heat on the necks of the people in front, but they could not rush into the city. The reason was that they could not break the blockade of the Song army. Boyan had an absolute advantage in military strength, but was at a disadvantage in the battle in the city. He could not put more troops into battle and could not create a military advantage in combat. He was also extremely anxious.
It is indeed too expensive to use the corpses of soldiers to fill the moat, but it is also very cost-effective. If Alahan enters the city and the two armies attack from two directions, it is very likely to disrupt the deployment of the Song army, capture the outer city, and then capture the inner city, capture Lin'an, and end the war. This prospect is really tempting, and even if the price is paid, it is worth it.
Alahan did not understand the benefits, but he could not force his heart. After Boyan's death order, he had to roll down from Alahan's eyes. He walked silently to the suspension bridge, pulled out his scimitar and roared: "Genghis Khan!"
The soldiers who advanced in combat formation shouted: "Genghis Khan! Genghis Khan!" Stepping on the neat military and instigated, he walked towards the moat without hesitation, falling into the moat row by row, and in a short while the moat was filled.
The name of Genghis Khan, the great hero, is the most sacred existence for the Mongols, and at this time, I don’t know whether this name is a sacred existence or the incarnation of the devil.
"Oh my God, the Tartars are crazy. Are they still humans?" Gundam was stunned and it took a long time to understand and said, "The Tartars are really desperate. They actually use this method to fill the moat." He kept praising Li Junying in his heart and withdrew all the people within 500 miles of Lin'an, otherwise the people who used them to fill the moat would not be the Mongolian soldiers but the people of the Song Dynasty.
