Chapter 2638: You have your own jade scales to know the urgency, the Jade Emperor is on top, on the occasion of offense and defense
The guys arranged five thousand troops on the three peaks and ordered them to defend the mountain.
Meng Gong's order was: Once a high ground fails, all the troops on the mountain will be beheaded and shown to the public to serve as a warning.
If there were any defenders on these three mountains dared to surrender, even their relatives in Lin'an City would be held accountable! So these three 15,000 imperial guards set up camps on the three high grounds.
They hoarded food, grass and weapons, dug wells and springs for drinking water, and made full preparations for the fight.
When the war begins, the unrepentant troops need to climb upwards and attack while climbing the mountain. The difficulty is really conceivable.
What followed was before the Southern Song army could approach the battle.
There were large pieces of rolling wooden stones thrown down from above on the mountain.
They rumbled down the mountain, rumbling faster and faster, and heavy stones injured countless Southern Song troops.
And there is also the kind of thunder that is very headache-inducing. Their round ceramic shells are wrapped in firewood and rattan.
After rolling down the mountain, if the thunder explodes when jumping in the air, the range of killing will be even larger.
And as always, the choking smoke is also very unbearable.
Under such circumstances, the Song imperial guards on these three mountains were surrounded on all sides, so it was impossible for them to escape.
At the same time, it is impossible to surrender to the Southern Song Dynasty, because his family will definitely be severely punished for this.
At the same time, Meng Gong promised them, and the excitement of a large sum of money after winning the battle.
These imperial soldiers were so arrogant that they threw stones and shot arrows, and they beat them in a very handsome and brave manner.
But what about Wuxuan here?
In fact, Wu Hui did not use all his strength to attack.
Because during the entire attack, Song Wuhui basically used the previous two vassal armies of Quanzhou and Fuzhou, with a total of 40,000 people.
As for his own army, he used a steel armed crossbow to output long-range support to the front line during most of the battle.
Song Wuhui was not in a hurry to conquer Lin'an, but was waiting for the teacher's instructions to him.
If he immediately conquered Lin'an, at least he would not be able to handle many things in Lin'an City.
Therefore, after the commander gives a reply, he can only attack the city without regrets.
On the other hand, Song Wuhui also felt sorry for his two armies, Longxiang and Huben. These 40,000 people were elite soldiers he had worked hard to manage for four years.
Once this army joins the Tongzhou Army, it will show signs of the world's most powerful force when it comes to the rifle.
Therefore, he must not let his troops suffer in vain because of a rash attack or taking a mountain at any cost.
In fact, in Song Wuhui's heart, he also followed the consistent military purpose of commander Shen Mo.
In the hearts of the generals of Tongzhou, soldiers have never been a consumable. They should try their best to avoid unnecessary casualties from soldiers.
As for the other 40,000 servants, to be honest, it would be no pity that they all died.
But if Song Wuhui really let their entire army rush up to die, these people would probably be killed and injured, and the rest would be deserters and run away, so as not to be killed by General Song Yulin in front of the two armies.
Therefore, in this case, when Song Wuhui commanded the war, he also tried his best to avoid causing major casualties to the Quanzhou Army and the Fuzhou Army.
In this way, as the situation of increasing and declining, the battle begins to become long and stalemate.
