Seven days have passed unconsciously, and Li De basically hasn't slept a few times in these seven days, and a large number of baggage in Bianliang City has been continuously transported to Mangdang Mountain through Cao Yun ships, and at the same time, the Xia army in Mangdang Mountain has used the people to establish a stable camp; In these short seven days, the Xia army transported millions of stones, grains and grass to Mangdang Mountain, and immediately a large number of weapons, armor, arrows, and captured earth-shattering thunder.
"Report, report, report to the prince, the forward of the Song army from the west has arrived in Zhengzhou."
An officer hurriedly ran in to report to Li Deyu.
"Let's explore and report again," Li De said with a frown.
After the officer left, Li De said to himself: "According to the marching speed of the Song army, the vanguard of the army of the Planter Dao should almost arrive in three days, but now less than one-third of the grain, grass and weapons in the city have been transported, so it is impossible to take them all away, so it is better to burn them all to prevent future troubles."
In fact, at this time, Li De was facing a very dangerous situation, in order to carry more heavy baggage, Li De sent most of his soldiers and horses, and now there are only 10,000 Xia troops in Bianliang City, and they are still guarding various strategic places; In addition to the Song army on the west road, now the Song army led by Zhang Dunli on the south road has arrived in Chicang Town, and the 30,000 elite Song troops from the north have just crossed the Yellow River and have arrived in Huazhou.
But let Li De just give up Bianliang Li De is really a little unwilling, in order to get Bianliang City Li De is exhausted, although he knows that sooner or later he will give up, but when it is really time to give up, Li De is a little reluctant, even if he wants to leave Li De, he is not willing to lose it to the Song army in vain, in order to block the attack of the Song army, Li De made some arrangements in Bianliang City, of course, the first thing to do is to burn the grain and grass that cannot be transported.
Three days later, the last Xia army's Cao transport fleet at the Bianhe wharf had been loaded, and the Song army had begun to enter the city from the west of Bianliang City, and at the same time billowing smoke rose in the east city, and all the baggage originally stored by the Song army in the west city had been burned by the Xia army, and this was also the beginning of the Bianliang struggle.
"Lord Wang, you see that the Song army should be from the west of the city."
One of the generals said, pointing to the smoke to the west.
Li De patted the general's shoulder and said, "Let's protect the fleet."
"Lord Wang, why don't you let the last general stay to block the Song army," the general said to Li De.
"Let you go, that's so much nonsense."
Li De said with a displeased face; "Hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu tells you that these things are important because there is one less Mao Benwang who can't spare you, get out."
"Yes, the last general commands," the general said with a fist salute to Li De.
After the fleet slowly sailed away from the Bianhe wharf, Li De led his own guards to return to Bianliang City, at this time the battle in Bianliang City has begun, in these few days the Xia army has been very familiar with Bianliang City, relying on the advantage of terrain, the Xia army used bows, bed crossbows, firearms to stubbornly block the Song army's troops entering the city, the Song army advanced not far after entering the city and could not attack, the Xia army relied on the advantage of firepower to completely suppress the Song army.
"How's the situation?"
asked the officer guarding the front line.
"Lord Wang, the Song army's offensive at the beginning was very fierce, but it can be seen that the Song army did not have many troops entering the city, at most no more than 3,000 people."
The officer reported to Li Deyu.
Li De sneered: "Only more than 3,000 people dare to attack in a big way, and I didn't say anything to kill them." ” "But my lord, we don't have enough troops in our hands now, and there are more than 800 people in our hands, so why don't we let the brothers stationed in other places support us," the officer suggested to Li De.
"No, eight hundred is enough."
Li De said very confidently; "Didn't this king remember that he had stored some gunpowder in Xicheng, and all of them were brought out for this king."
"Yes, Commandment" Soon five barrels of gunpowder were moved, all of these gunpowder were configured in Bianliang City, there was a gunpowder factory of the Great Song Dynasty in Bianliang City, but due to the war, almost all the workers in the gunpowder factory ran away, Li De once resumed the work of the gunpowder factory after occupying Bianliang, and in this short period of a few days, a lot of gunpowder was also configured, but most of the gunpowder and firearms carried by the Xia army were the reserves in the warehouse of the Song army that were captured before, and most of the gunpowder and firearms had been moved away before the withdrawal of the Xia army.
At the same time, there are a lot of raw materials, and the remaining Li De intends to use it in the defense of Bianliang City, but not very much.
After the five barrels of gunpowder were moved, under the command of Li De, the Xia army made all the five barrels of gunpowder into explosives packs, and hid them in the houses on both sides of the road.
"Lord Wang, most of the Song army has already come in."
The officer reminded Li De.
Li De, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately ordered: "Then let's start After the gunpowder exploded, all the troops immediately attacked and annihilated all the Song troops before they could react." ” "Yes, I understand" "Boom, boom, boom" a tragic explosion, most of the people who were bombed by the Song army turned on their backs, together with the houses on both sides of the street all collapsed, splashing up bricks, stones and smoke and dust so that a radius of hundreds of meters were shrouded in it, after the explosion, the Xia army immediately attacked before the Song army did not react from all sides to kill, this time the Xia army was dismounted and fought on foot, in this kind of city Xin'er street battle, the foot soldiers were far more flexible than the cavalry, and the defending troops had a great advantage.
The explosion caught the Song army a little off guard, and now more than 800 Xia troops suddenly killed out, the Song army was killed and retreated without much resistance, Li De of course will not let go of this golden opportunity, 800 Xia troops chased all the way, and drove out the Song army that had just entered the city for a long time, this battle was just a small battle in Bianliang City, and it would not change the situation on the entire Bianliang battlefield, although the Song army lost more than 2,000 people, but this was a drop in the bucket for the Song army, and it didn't hurt at all.
Due to the lack of intelligence, the Song army did not know the situation of the Xia army in Bianliang City at all, and the commander of the Song army did not know how many soldiers and horses the Xia army had in Bianliang City, and how the defense power was, but there was one thing that the Song army knew, that is, the Song army was swaggering to Mangdang Mountain to transport grain and grass baggage.
In the evening, outside Bianliang City, inside the Song army camp.
Seed Master Dao summoned the generals and said: "The commander has received news that a unit of the Xia army has gone south to Mangdang Mountain, and it seems that Li De intends to rely on the terrain of Mangdang Mountain to deal with our army."
"Marshal, at the end of today, the general sent 3,000 people into Bianliang, but was fiercely blocked by the Xia army and was forced to withdraw from the city, but when our army entered the city, the Xia army burned down the two granaries in Xicheng, and the fire has not been completely extinguished yet."
One of the generals said to the planter.
Today's first update is presented, and there will be two more later:
