Under the city of the Daimyo's Mansion, the Liao army has already set up an offensive posture, in order to attack the Daimyo's Mansion Liao Army gathered a total of 100,000 troops, Yelu Renxian and Yelu Yixin each led 50,000 soldiers and horses to the Daimyo's Mansion to half surround, leaving only the south gate to the Song army, and the siege of three is missing one, which is the basic way of siege.
The Liao army did not launch an attack on the first day, but chose to rest, after all, the long-distance march Liao army needs to have a short rest, the battle plan of the Liao army has been drawn up, the Liao army will attack from the east and west sides of Dading Mansion, and the east as the main direction of attack, which has a lot to do with the geographical advantage of Dading Mansion, although the Daimyo Mansion is located on the plain, but in the west of Dading Mansion is a canal, the depth of the attack is narrow, and the north gate city wall is the highest and most solid, not suitable for attack; Attacking in the south was easily flanked by the rear army of the Song army, which was not conducive to retreat.
Compared with the other three sides, the east is the best choice, first of all, the east wall is not very high, and it is an endless plain with enough space for the Liao army to set up the army, although the east is also vulnerable to the sneak attack of the rear troops of the Song army, but it is also conducive to the Liao army to retreat in the direction of the crown city.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo" The horn of the Liao army sounded outside the Daimyo's mansion, this is the sound of the Liao army assembling to attack, the Liao army gathered 70,000 troops in the east of the Daimyo's mansion, led by Yelu Renxian and Yelu Yixin, in order to compete for who attacked the Daimyo's Mansion first, Yelu Renxian and Yelu Yixin divided the east wall of the entire Daimyo Mansion into two, Yelu Ren attacked the north of the east city wall first, and Yelu Yixin attacked the south of the east city wall, so the entire Liao army formed two completely different attack surfaces.
Priority to attack the Daimyo's Mansion is not just a merit, whoever first invades the Daimyo's Mansion has the right to distribute the Daimyo's Mansion, you can imagine that the Daimyo's Mansion as the capital of the north of the Great Song Dynasty, and is located on the bank of the canal, is an important economic center in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, as for how much wealth there is in the city, it is definitely an astronomical amount, of course, the Liao army must first take the Daimyo's Mansion if they want to get these.
"Lord Wang, there is a big danger on this city wall, you better go down" Seed Master Dao persuaded Zhao Yu.
Zhao Zhen objected: "No, this king will never go down, tell my brothers that this king will sit on this city gate tower and live and die with you." ” "Wang Ye" what else does the seed master want to say.
But he was interrupted by Zhao Yan and said: "Command the enemy with peace of mind, don't worry about this king, this king will not interfere with your command." ” "Yes, the last general will go here, Lord Wang, be careful yourself."
Seed Master Dao saluted Zhao Yan and said.
The cultivator came to the city wall and said, "Everyone obeys orders, and no one is allowed to attack without the general's military order." ” After watching the Liao army approach him step by step, the planter issued a military order: "Catapult, bed crossbow eight hundred steps ready." ” Eight hundred steps is the farthest effective range of the Song army's large equipment, "1,200 steps, 1,000 steps, 950 steps, 900 steps, 850 steps, 820 steps catapults, bed crossbows" After the order of the planter, dozens of stones and hundreds of crossbow arrows with small arms thick went towards the Liao army, the stones smashed one by one, and the crossbow arrows pierced a string, and the vanguard attacking troops of the Liao army soon appeared one after another, as if they were scratched by the claws of a tiger.
At the distance of 800 steps to 600 steps, the Liao army was basically in a situation of being passively beaten, but after this distance, the Liao army's counterattack began, and the Liao army's long-range attack weapons stayed at the position of 600 steps and began to counterattack the Song army, and the main long-range weapon of the Liao army was a catapult; With the cover of catapults, the Liao siege troops began to attack, and they rushed towards the Daimyo's mansion with improvised ladders, followed by the Song army's large bed crossbows and aimed at these heavy siege equipment.
"Crossbowmen prepare, release the arrows" "Thunder stone rolling wood, gold juice poured down for me" The order of the division was issued one by one, although the Liao army suffered setbacks and suffered a lot of losses, but the Liao army still continued to attack, and the situation on the battlefield was changing over time, and the advantages of the Liao army's strong individual combat effectiveness began to show, and some of the Liao army began to climb to the city wall through the ladder, and at this time the city wall was crowded with Liao soldiers who wanted to climb the city wall through the ladder.
Li Xian trotted all the way to the front of the seed master and said, "General Seed, let them go, the brothers are about to be unable to hold on." ” "No, this is the first day of the war, let the reserves prepared under the city reinforce it."
Seed Master Dao said.
Li Xian shouted at the planter: "Now is not the time for the Genliao army to fight for consumption, it is appropriate to die one less." ” Seed Master Dao looked at the Liao army under the city and finally decided: "Okay, let them go, but everything must be doubled, and the Liao army must be hurt at one time." ” "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Li Xian and the disciples in the mouth of the Dao are actually the firearms unit of the Song army, and the firearms unit used to defend the city has been strengthened, and the weapons of each of them are earth-shaking thunder and explosives bags; Due to the shortage of iron sheets, the Song army made a large bag of explosives for every ten catties of gunpowder, although it was black powder, but the power of ten catties of black powder should not be underestimated; In addition to these, the Song army also developed a simple throwing weapon, which is an enlarged version of the slingshot, and a wooden board was added to fix the trajectory, so that the large slingshot can easily throw the explosive bag and the earth-shattering thunder for two or three hundred steps.
Under the leadership of Li Xian, more than 500 Song army firearms troops climbed the city wall, each of them held an explosive bag and a sky-shaking thunder, and each fifty steps also had a large slingshot launcher, and there were some explosive bags next to it, and on the city ladder there was a group of people who were constantly transporting earth-shaking thunder and explosives bags to the city wall.
"Obey orders, prepare, and ignite," Li Xian issued a military order.
After Li Xian's order, these firearms soldiers of the Song army holding explosives bags and earth-shaking thunder lit the fuse one after another, and then ran to the battlements to throw the explosives bags and earth-shaking thunder down, and the slingshot launcher began to throw explosives bags one by one to the rear of the Liao army; After the first round of throwing, they came back and threw the second and third rounds, and at the same time the Song army's crossbowmen began to fire arrows non-stop.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom" The sound of explosions began to sound under the city, because the Liao army had never seen firearms at all, so they did not know how to dodge, although there were many blind horns in the middle did not blow up, but still gave the Liao army great lethality, in a short period of time the Liao army paid a painful price, because the people were too dense many Liao soldiers fell in pieces, and some were not killed on the spot but were injured.
A flame carries a cloud of snow mist and a cloud of gunsmoke, the firearms soldiers who threw the explosives package have undergone special training, and it is not too much of a problem to throw out twenty or thirty steps of the ten-pound explosive package, and in addition to the height of the city wall, the farthest pitcher can throw fifty steps, so the Song army formed a firearms attack surface at the distance from the city wall to thirty steps, and the rain of arrows in the sky is thirty steps away, and then there is the explosive package shot remotely by slingshot projectiles, catapults and bed crossbow arrows This was the first large-scale unilateral use of firearms in human history, and the previous battle of Songxia Tongguan was nothing compared to it.
