"Then what can you do," Seed Master Dao asked General Song.
General Song said to the seed master: "Marshal, the last general thinks that we can follow the example of the Xia army, dig a tunnel to the city wall of the Xia army's Mangdangshan camp, and then bury a large amount of explosives under the city, and of course detonate it. ” "That's a good idea" "In this way, the siege will be much less difficult."
The crowd said in a big tongue; After thinking about it, the seed master said, "It's not appropriate to do this. ” Everyone looked at the Planter Dao with a skeptical look; The Planter Dao glanced at everyone and said: "There is a reason why Ben Shuai thinks it is inappropriate, the first time to dig the tunnel is very long, and we don't have that long time at all; Second, if you look at the terrain around here, it's all mountainous, and the ground is full of stones, and it's very difficult to dig, and you don't know what year or month it will take to dig under the city walls. ” "Dashuai, do you have any good ideas?"
a Song general asked to the seed master.
The seed master Dao thought about it and walked to the sand table and said: "You see that this is the defense system built by the Xia army in Mangdang Mountain that our army has mastered at present, and the entire defense system of Mangdang Mountain is divided into three layers, the first layer is these castle strongholds on the periphery of Mangdang Mountain, due to the lack of strength of the Xia army, the Xia army basically has no garrison in these places; The second layer of defense is the line of defense we are facing now, which is the top priority of the Xia army's defense, this line of defense is mainly composed of trenches, city walls and mountain cliffs, the Xia army has built city walls on all the roads into the mountains, these walls are made of stone, and the stones of these cities are mined from these self-made cliffs; As for this third line of defense, we don't know Everyone has seen the results of the attack from the city wall, the Xia army actually built a dome on the city wall, which caused our army to be unable to climb the city wall at all when attacking, but you see, the entire Xia army's Mangdang Mountain camp, not every place is such a defensive design, we can completely avoid the Xia army's city wall, attack from the cliff, although it is much higher than the city wall, but it is the only place we can break through, and this time our army will be divided into multiple ways to attack, one is the main one, and many roads are supplemented; As far as this commander knows, the Xia army does not have many troops in the Mangdang Mountain camp, and we have to exhaust them to deal with it."
In the early morning of the next day, the Song army launched an attack on the Mangdang Mountain camp again, and Lu He, who was having breakfast, received a report from the deputy general: "Report, report, report to the general, the Song army suddenly launched a fierce attack on the cliff on the southeast side of our country, and the Song army's offensive was very fierce, using a large number of catapults and earth-shaking thunder. ” When Lu He heard this, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and came to the sand table; At this moment, another adjutant general came to report: "Report, report, report to the general, the Song army launched an attack on the southwest cliff of our country, the offensive is extremely fierce, please send reinforcements quickly." ” "Damn."
Lu He shouted angrily: "The Song army already knows that our army is insufficient, so it divides its troops to attack, and orders all departments to defend it strictly, and will immediately order people to go to reinforcements." ” This time the Song army's attack was like a madness, and launched several group charges against the Mangdang Mountain camp in one breath, and the cover attack was more than 100 catties of explosives, although the Xia army was the defensive side, but the same losses were very huge, the most violent attack was on the southeast side of the cliff, the Song army invested 100,000 troops and more than 50 catapults here, the explosives were constantly thrown to the cliff, and the Song army soldiers pushed the ladder and the building cart to the bottom of the cliff to climb; The Xia army counterattacked with thunder stones and large earth-shattering thunders.
The Song army once attacked the cliff under the cover of the catapult, if it wasn't for Lu He to transfer a few artillery, I'm afraid that the southeast side of the cliff has been lost, just this day the Xia army lost more than 3,000 people, three times as much as yesterday, Lu He sat in the big tent of the Chinese army at a loss, according to the way of fighting, in two days the Song army will be able to break through the second line of defense, once the Song army breaks through the second line of defense, then most of the area of the Mangdang Mountain camp will be lost, the Xia army will really become a lonely city.
Lu He looked at the generals and said: "It's not a way to fight like this, we must increase the killing and damage of the living forces of the Song army, otherwise we can't hold the Mangdang Mountain camp with the strength in our hands, and it will take at least five days for the prince's reinforcements to arrive, and we must understand it after holding on for more than five days." ” "General, the brothers have done their best, the Song army is more than ten times ours, there is basically no hope if you want to hold for another five days, general, you go, the last general and others will take the brothers to fight to the death with the Song army, if we really can't hold it, we will burn all the grain, grass and gunpowder in the camp, and die together with the Song army."
"Die together, end up together" Lu He kept chanting in his mouth; "I have a way" After some explanation, Lu He said to all the generals: "You all go and prepare separately, select thirty dead soldiers, and meet all their needs tonight." ” "Yes, follow the general's orders" Thirty dead soldiers were quickly selected, Lu He personally feasted them in the big tent of the Chinese army, entertained them with good wine and meat, and also selected two beauties for each of them from the military prostitute camp, these thirty dead soldiers will be the key to whether Lu He can hold the camp of Mangdang Mountain, so all their requirements are met by Lu He.
In the early morning of the next day, the Song army again sent a large army to attack the southeast cliff and the southwest cliff, the Xia army was finally defeated and retreated after a stubborn resistance, the Song army successfully occupied these two cliffs, after occupying these two cliffs, the Song army did not rush to attack, but held on the cliff, and Lu He commanded the Xia army to carry out a long-distance attack, and at the same time organized several counteroffensives and the results were all beaten down by the Song army.
A Song general hurriedly came to the front of the planting master and reported: "Report, report, report that our army has successfully rushed up the cliff, and is currently stepping up the deployment of troops to hold on. ” Seed Master Dao frowned and asked, "Has the Xia army carried out a counterattack?"
"Marshal, the Xia army organized several counterattacks, but they were all repelled by the brothers" "Shouldn't you have repelled it" Seed Master Dao said a little confused, and then Seed Master Dao seemed to think of something, so he immediately said: "Quick, order the army to quickly evacuate the cliff quickly, otherwise it will be too late." ” "What do you mean, Dashuai," Song Jiang asked puzzled.
"Hurry up and do it, it's too late."
The Seed Master roared angrily.
It didn't take long for the sound of "bell, bell, bell" Mingjin to remember, at this time the cliffs on both sides were Song troops, the Song army was easy to climb up, but it was difficult to go down, and when the sound of Mingjin sounded, many Song troops still didn't know what was going on, why did the position that they finally get give up like this, but the military order can't be said, since let the retreat, then retreat But it was too late, and when the Song army was still in a state of confusion, suddenly there was a series of explosions on the cliffs on both sides of the Song army's occupation, and all the Song troops on the cliffs were reimbursed The second is more presented, asking for support and recommendation:
