In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 306 If you don’t do it quickly, you will fall back into the valley and compete with dogs.

Trebuchet Senhu is a big man-eater.

Because the lower part of Dashanguan Pass is not wide, the Mongolian army's fifty trebuchets are arranged in two rows, and they plan to place them about [-] steps away from Dashanguan City, with an average of one every ten meters, which is relatively dense.

There was no way. Tuo Lei had visited Dashan Pass before and knew that the north side of Dashan Pass was very narrow and could only accommodate twenty or so trebuchets. He had already taken it seriously and brought fifty of them, arranged in two rows.

And because he knew that the Song Army's bed crossbow was more powerful and had a range of two to three hundred steps, the trebuchet was prepared to be placed three hundred steps away.

But there is another difficulty in Dashan Pass, that is, the ground is uneven, and there is a slope all the way down from the Song Army. This is quite laborious for the Mongolian army who pushed the trebuchet into battle.

The Mongolian soldiers began to push forward desperately. After a while, a trebuchet finally entered the [-]th step.

"Bang" suddenly there was an earth-shattering cannon sound in the distance.

Then, whoosh, a black cannonball flew out.

artillery?
Subotai heard that Peng Yibin, the leader of the Song army, had artillery in Shandong, but he did not expect that there were also artillery in Sichuan.

This was also the first time he saw the Song people's cannons, and his eyes immediately widened, because the Song people's cannons really hit very far.

When the cannon fell after hitting more than 400 steps, it made a splash, and the black cannonball jumped up and rolled forward along the ground.

There are mountains and rocks in front of Dashan Pass.

The Song Army spent a long time digging trenches, but the cannonballs could bounce off the ground.

Moreover, in order to allow the cannonballs to bounce, the Song Army shoveled away a lot of surface soil, leaving only rocky surfaces within a radius of six to seven hundred steps.

In addition, Dashanguan is located at a high altitude, and there is a downward slope in front of it. The cannonball immediately bounced forward after landing.

The advancing trebuchet suddenly started to tremble.

Plop, the cannonball rolled forward dozens of meters and hit the bottom of a trebuchet.

In Kacha, the trebuchet collapsed almost instantly, and then with a bang, the huge trebuchet collapsed from top to bottom.

The shell continued to roll forward.

"Ah" someone screamed from behind, and the shell passed against his leg bone and half of his thigh was lost.

Because the trebuchets are relatively dense, one is about ten meters away, and they are arranged in two rows.

The Song army's first shot hit the trebuchet, which shocked the Mongolian army.

"Fight from the side, hit from the side." At this moment, Chen Xiaodao at the top of the city stopped the cannon that was about to fire below.

There are fifty cannons on Dashan Pass, and today there are twenty cannons placed in the front, probably one every ten meters.

When Chen Xiaodao saw that there were two rows of trebuchets on the opposite side and they were so dense, he immediately ordered to hit them from the side.

He ran to the far west and took control himself.

Boom, the second shot was fired from the westernmost cannon.
The shells fell at thirty degrees into the Mongolian trebuchets.

The second shot directly hit a trebuchet, almost destroying it. Kacha instantly tore the trebuchet into pieces. The shell jumped forward again, and Kacha hit the second unit in the rear row.

There were a few big cannibals pushing trebuchets in the middle, and the Turks were torn apart one after another.

After one shot, the broken trebuchets and slingers with severed limbs and arms were mixed together at the scene, with screams and wailing everywhere.

The Mongolian army was directly stunned. None of the soldiers and horses brought by the Mongolian army from the Western Expedition had ever encountered such sharp artillery.

Before the trebuchet could reach [-] steps, it was already fully hit by the Song army's artillery.

The trebuchet was slow and heavy to push, and the key was that they were going uphill.

Even though Su Shengsun behind him desperately ordered to push forward, he still couldn't pick up the speed.

Bang, bang, bang, the sound of artillery fire at the scene soon began one after another.

The artillery fire from the side has a very high hit rate. If you are lucky, you can hit two aircraft in two rows at the same time.

Even if some of them failed to hit the trebuchet, they could still hit the Mongolian army pushing the trebuchet when they bounced off the ground.

Starting from 450 steps, the Mongolian army's advance became increasingly difficult. From time to time, trebuchets were smashed, and cart pushers were knocked down from time to time.

As the number of carts decreased, some trebuchets began to be unable to push.

After finally advancing to within 32 steps, only [-] of Subutai's fifty trebuchets were still intact.

At this time, the city head was already within the range of the trebuchet.

But there are still stone bullets that have not come up from behind the trebuchet.

All the civilians of the Mongolian army have been used to fill the ditch, and the Mongolian army can only be mobilized to push the stone bullets up.

The Song Army's artillery continued to fire, and the trebuchet that was parked in place became a better target.

The Mongolian army's trebuchet was quite large, larger than the one made by Zhao and Rui, and could throw hundreds of kilograms of stones, which meant it was easier to hit.

Another trebuchet of "Kacha" was hit solidly by artillery.

A giant cannibal was waving his hands and shouting: "Coming, coming, coming." to remind his companions that the shells were coming.

But the shells came so fast that many people didn't react. There was a click, and the trebuchet in front of them fell into pieces.

The scene suddenly erupted in screams, shattered trebuchets flew in all directions, and many people were cut down by the debris.

The cannonball shattered the trebuchet and jumped back.

A carriage pulling a cart of stone bombs had just entered less than ten steps behind the trebuchet.

The Mongolian troops driving the carriage suddenly scattered and fled.

The next moment, plop, the cannonball hit a horse and then hit the carriage behind it.

With a crash, the carriage fell apart instantly, and stone bullets fell all over the place.

As soon as the Mongolian army turned around and ran out for several steps, he heard a voice behind him. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt pain under his feet.

"Ah" he screamed and fell to the ground.

Shit, the Song Army's artillery shell cut off his right foot completely along the ground.

At this time, the Song army had only fired two waves of artillery. The first wave was fired five hundred steps away from them. After the attack, the Mongolian army pushed back to within three hundred steps, leaving more than thirty trebuchets.

The second wave came after they stopped and went to carry stone bombs.

After the second wave of fighting, the scene was quite tragic. There were broken trebuchets and dead and injured Mongolian troops everywhere in front of the Mongolian army. There were less than ten intact trebuchets, and a large number of trebuchet operators were beaten everywhere. There were casualties and many carriages transporting stone bullets were destroyed on the way.

The dead and injured people and broken trebuchets had blocked the road behind, and many carriages could not be pushed up.

The Song Army's artillery was silent for a moment. At this time, the Song Army was cleaning the barrel and reloading.

The Mongolian army also moved forward like crazy to transport stone bullets.

But the road ahead was difficult. There were broken catapults, dead and injured people, and falling shells everywhere.

Finally, a batch of carriages were pulled forward, because the stone bullets were huge, and each stone bullet required several people to lift it.

The efficiency of the Mongolian army's trebuchets at this time was quite low, because they had a lot of time in the previous sieges, and it took a lot of time to install a stone bomb weighing several hundred kilograms.

After they finally loaded the stone bullets, they adjusted the angle.

Bang bang bang, the Song Army's third wave of artillery fired again.

This time the Song army fought more accurately, and used two cannons to fight one trebuchet.

"Let it go, let it go." The Mongolian army didn't care. The officer gave the order, and after saying that, he turned around and ran back.

hum.

There was a buzz at the scene, and the Mongolian army's trebuchet finally fired a wave.

The Mongolian troops watching the battle from a distance behind them all shouted wildly to boost their morale.

But none of the hurried stone bullets hit the target. Usually the first wave of stone bullets is used to test the distance.

Because the Mongolian army fought in a hurry, some of the first wave hit in front of the ditch, some hit inside the ditch, and some flew directly into Dashanguan Pass. Two of the ten trebuchets hit the wall of Dashanguan Pass. The troops flew into the city.

The rest all missed.

After this wave, there were only two intact stone machines on the scene, but a large number of Mongolian troops were killed and wounded.

Subotai's face turned pale at this time. He didn't expect the Song Army's artillery to be so powerful.

If he had come here three or four years earlier, the artillery at Dashan Pass would still be a medium-sized artillery of about [-] kilograms.

In recent years, Zhao Yurui has successively replaced city defense artillery with thousand-jin heavy artillery, and even two-thousand-jin heavy artillery.

The Song Army's field artillery is still mainly medium-sized, supplemented by heavy-type artillery, but a large number of city defense artillery has been replaced by heavy artillery.

This heavy artillery is powerful and destructive.

If it hits a crowd, it will tear a bloody path.

Chen Xiaodao is using all the thousand-jin heavy artillery. There are ten two-thousand-jin heavy artillery at Dashan Pass, ready to be used when the Mongolian army ants are attached.

I just don’t know if I can use it today.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

In Katsa, the last catapult of the Mongolian army was shattered.

In less than half an hour from the time the Mongolian army pushed the trebuchet to the last trebuchet being smashed, the Mongolian army threw six stone bullets at Dashan Pass.

Two pieces fell in the city, three fell on the side of the city wall, and one fell on the top of the city.

There were no casualties in the Song army, only an arrow shed was knocked down, the Mongolian army suffered two to three hundred casualties, and almost half of the Mongolian army in charge of the trebuchet was beaten.

As the Song Army's artillery paused and the last trebuchet was destroyed, except for the screams of the wounded everywhere, the battlefield seemed to suddenly become quiet.

"嚅" Subotai rode his horse a little irritably, walking back and forth in front of the formation, looking at the Song Army's city from time to time.

No one around dared to make a sound, and everyone looked at Dashanguan with horrified expressions.

Before coming, the Mongolian army didn't pay much attention to Dashanguan. Now everyone is afraid of hearing Subotai say that he is preparing to attack the city.

Even Kazuki Sun looked at Subotai in horror.

He knew Subotai too well. Subotai was a madman. Once he went crazy, no one could control him except the dead Genghis Khan.

At this time, Subotai was walking around in front of the formation, obviously considering the possibility of direct ant attack.

"The Song people's artillery is too powerful. We have lost all the trebuchets. Why don't we go back first?" Hu Shengsun hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.

Subotai was furious and said sternly: "Ye Ke Na Yan gave us [-] troops and didn't even attack the city. He just went back. How can I face Y Ke Na Yan?"

After saying that, he raised his head and looked forward: "I saw that the interval between artillery fire from the Song Dynasty was very long, and all the army ants attached to it, and they were hit by two or three rounds at most on the way."

"Can't my [-] elite soldiers defeat the small Dasan Pass?"

Suddenly, Sun Sheng advised again: "The ditch ahead is unclear and the ladder is difficult to climb. Please think twice about Ertuer."

The praise of Baltuer as a great Mongol warrior was the praise given by Genghis Khan to Subotai.

When Hu Shengsun mentioned Ertuer, he also reminded him not to act impulsively.

Ever since Subotai was defeated by Jin Bing in Huihui Valley, Subotai had been eager to clear his name. He had lost some control over his success and wanted to break through the Great Sanguan to prove his ability.

Subotai's face condensed slightly when he heard the words Baltu'er.

He is a warrior of Dameng and is known as the most brave general of Mongolia. It would be a shame to be defeated in Huihui Valley. What if he fails to attack Dameng Pass again?
This?
Just when Subotai hesitated.

Suddenly, ahead.

Boom, with a heavy sound, the gate of Song Jun's suspension bridge suddenly lowered.

The Mongolian army a mile away suddenly became commotion.Subotai calmly looked at it, and after a while.

The Song Army's city gate opened, and a group of Song Army rushed out with a roar.

There were about 100 Song troops. After rushing out, they looked for the Han troops everywhere on the ground.

These Han troops had just driven away the civilians and pushed them into the ditches. Now there were still a large number of civilians still alive in the ditches, crying and screaming.

After the Song army came out, they ignored them and went directly to the Han army on the ground.

Some Han soldiers survived being shot by arrows and were directly dragged up by Song soldiers.

"Hiss?" Subotai suddenly stared at Song Jun opposite him in disbelief.

The Song army was more than a mile away. They came out of the city openly and picked up the surviving Han soldiers one by one. Then they all knelt down in a row opposite them just like they had killed the civilians.

"cut."

With an order.

With a bang, the Song army beheaded the injured Han soldiers one by one in front of Subotai.

"Wow!" The Song army cheered and demonstrated to the Mongolian army on the top of the city.

Subotai's eyes turned green, he was almost furious, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered an attack.

Fortunately, he did not lose his mind. Not to mention that his troops and horses were not ready at this moment. He rushed over from such a distance. The more than 100 Song soldiers had plenty of time to retreat to the city.

But the people of Song Dynasty were really humiliating people, and this was their revenge for killing the husband of the people.

After beheading, the Song people continued to search on the ground. When they saw that there were still wounded soldiers, they jumped and stabbed them to death with one shot.

Every time someone was stabbed to death, the Song troops at the top of the city began to cheer.

The Song people unscrupulously killed the Han troops outside the ditch one by one in front of Subotai, completely ignoring the Mongolian troops.

The Mongolian army on the opposite side was silent, looking shocked and angry.

Many Mongolian troops could no longer resist the urge and rushed to Subotai's side: "Let's fight, break through the Dashan Pass, leave no one behind, and kill all these Song people."

The Mongolian army has been in the world, sweeping across the Western Regions, and defeating invincible opponents in the world. It has never been so humiliated, and many Mongolian soldiers and horses can't stand it.

"The Song people are deliberately picking shirts, brothers, don't be impulsive." Hu Shengsun advised again.

Subotai was a peerless general, and he could still endure it.

Unexpectedly, several Song soldiers on the opposite side took dozens of steps forward and unzipped their pants.

Shh, he started to urinate facing the Mongolian army, wiggling his buttocks while urinating.

"Hahaha." The Song troops at the top of the city laughed wildly.

Now the Mongols can still bear it.

Zheng, someone just drew his sword and looked at Subotai fiercely. As long as Subotai said the word "up", he would rush forward immediately.

However, he still endured it and just stared at the city head fiercely.

Just when he was about to vomit blood.

Sudden.

A row of Song troops appeared on the top of the city, seemingly holding a huge banner, and all the Mongolian troops immediately looked at it.

I saw the Song soldiers pulling away from the left and right and lowering them.

Wow, there was a huge banner, which seemed to be made of many sheets, with two rows of Chinese characters written in ink on it. It looked like the handwriting was still fresh.

Although Subotai can speak some Chinese, he can't read Chinese characters, and the distance is a bit far, so he can't see clearly.

"Go and take a look. What's written on it?" Subotai turned around and pointed at Li Changguo.

Li Changguo had no choice but to ride forward on horseback. He was afraid that the Song people would hit him with cannons on the way.

But he thought too much. The hit rate of a single rider was very low. How could the Song army waste artillery shells.

He cautiously ran forward for more than 100 steps. After a few quick glances, he hurried back.

But he didn't dare to speak in front of Subotai.

Subotai raised his whip and pointed it at Li Changguo and shouted again: "What's written on it?"

At this time, the Song army at the top of the city cheered, danced and sang.

Because of the distance, they couldn't hear what Song Jun sang, but it was definitely not something nice.

Li Changguo's face also turned red, but he still didn't dare to hum.

"Zheng" Subotai suddenly threw away his riding whip and drew his sword. In a flash, the sword had reached Li Changguo's neck.

"Ah" Li Changguo was so stunned that he could only bite the bullet and said:
"Subu Tai, Subu Tai, return to the valley to compete with dog food."

"Subotai, Subutai, see the golden soldiers running for their lives."

"Ah" Subotai couldn't hold back any longer, and with a roar, the sword flashed and he cut off Li Changguo's head with a single blow.

Everyone around was shocked.

Hu Shengsun's face was filled with disbelief. He didn't expect that he would kill one of his own people.

"Send the order and prepare to attack the city. After the city is defeated, no one will be left alive. Kill, kill, kill." Subotai ignored Kushengsun's persuasion and decided to attack the city by force.

Under the provocation of Chen Xiaodao and Zhang Xuan, Subotai couldn't hold back and decided to attack.

During Subotai's Western Expedition, he was almost invincible. No matter how he attacked the city in the field, he never failed. Even when he was defeated in Huihui Valley, he still believed that it was not his fault. At that time, they were cutting down mountains and trees all the way in. The army was half dead from exhaustion and was suddenly defeated. The Jin soldiers made a surprise attack, and the Mongolian army was not good at fighting in the mountains, so failure was inevitable.

At the critical moment, the mountainous terrain was narrow and the Mongolian army could not move, so Subutai was quite unconvinced and lost to Wanyan Heda.

Now Song Jun used this incident to provoke him, which directly made Subotai furious.

After the military order, there was no retreat, and the Mongolian army immediately began to take action.

A large number of Han troops rushed to the front of the formation, followed by the Xixia people in the Mongolian army, then the Khitans, the Turks, and finally the Mongolian army headquarters.

It can be seen from the formation of troops that the Han army is the least valuable consumable in the eyes of the Mongolian army.

Usually, the earlier someone surrenders and follows the Mongolian army, the more attention the Mongolian army will take.

This wave of Han troops under Subotai basically surrendered from the Jin Kingdom in the past two years. Unlike the Han troops in Hebei, they numbered about five to six thousand, which was quite large.

After all the armies were assembled, Sun Kuai Ma suddenly jumped out and ran in front of the Han army's formation, shouting loudly: "Attack the city with all your strength. Without orders, you are not allowed to retreat without permission."

"If one person retreats and kills all the tiles (ten people are one tile), if all the tiles retreat, a hundred households will be killed, if a hundred households retreat, a thousand households will be killed -"

The Han troops all around were moved.

It sounds complicated, but in fact if a unit of one thousand households dares to withdraw, all the units will be killed.

Similarly, in a team of [-] households, if any unit with a card or above dares to retreat without authorization, all [-] households will be killed.

"After the city is broken, the sword will not be sealed." Hu Shengsun continued: "Go to the top of the city first. Those who enter the city will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with 500 taels of silver, twenty oxen, horses and sheep, and five beautiful maids."

He spoke quite loudly, and when he spoke, all the Han soldiers present widened their eyes, and their faces began to show restlessness and excitement.

Finally, Shengsun suddenly raised his riding whip, pointed at Dashan Pass from a distance, and said loudly: "I, Dameng, will never be invincible in battle, and will never be invincible in attack."

"Follow me - kill -"

"Kill--" The emotions of the Han army were aroused. First, a small number of people roared, and then all the Han troops roared.

The next moment of "killing", [-] Mongolian troops on the scene roared in unison, with overwhelming momentum.

"Woo——" The horn of the Mongolian army's attack also sounded at the same time.

"Kill." The Han army started to move forward like crazy.

Zhang Xuan and Chen Xiaodao at the top of Dashanguan City were looking at the Mongolian army like fools.

Dashan Pass was originally the most dangerous pass in Shukou. After being managed by the Song Army for six or seven years, it can be said to be the most difficult pass in the world. The Mongolian army dared to attack the city without even the equipment.

Because of Zhao and Rui Jianbi's policy of clearing the countryside, there was not even a wooden board over one meter in Guo County.

In order to attack the city, the Mongolian army built some ladders and planks from the original gold sites in Pingliang Mansion and other places.

I saw Han soldiers in groups of two or three, carrying large wooden boards together. Some of these wooden boards were made of trees, and some were probably dismantled door panels.

After two people hold it up, it can be used to block arrows and fill ditches.

This thing still has some effect on arrows, but it is not good enough in front of artillery.

Chen Xiaodao watched them enter five hundred steps and immediately waved.

"beat."

"Boom" a heavy cannon next to him opened fire first.

This is a heavy artillery weighing more than [-] kilograms at Dashan Pass. It is also the first time that a heavy artillery weighing more than [-] kilograms was used on the battlefield in the Song Dynasty.

This cannonball weighed nearly twenty kilograms, and the huge iron ball came out of the barrel directly with the roar of the cannon.

The front row of the Han army on the opposite side had just entered within [-] steps. Because they wanted to conserve their physical strength, they were not very fast and did not attack.

After the earth-shattering sound, whoosh, the black shells flew straight into the Han army.

The cannon's impact point was exactly about [-] steps, so it didn't hit very far.

But heavy artillery is powerful.

Right in front of the falling bomb, there happened to be three Han soldiers holding a long wooden board. When they saw the shells falling like meteors, the Han soldier on the left reacted very quickly. He let go and hurried to the side.

Before the other two people could react, one of the Han soldiers wanted to call the Han soldier on the left.

Boom, the cannonballs hit their wooden boards hard, and the wooden boards turned into pieces like mud and powder.

A cannonball weighing twenty kilograms then hit another Han soldier on the shoulder.

Shit, the scene was filled with blood, and half of the Han army's body was almost lost.

The cannonball sank backwards, thumped, and broke the right leg of a Han soldier behind.

Then it bounced off the ground and rolled forward, like a bowling ball, sweeping over everyone and everything on the road ahead.

The Han army's formation was already relatively loose, just to prevent shelling and arrow rain.

But under heavy artillery, it was completely useless.

The first shot rolled more than 30 meters from landing to stopping.

Deaths and injuries were everywhere along the way, various body parts and fragments were scattered everywhere, and wailing and screams were endless.

There is no way, Dashan Pass has the advantage of terrain. The Song army is located high up. Not only does the ground slope downward, but it is also made of hard rocks. After the cannonballs hit the ground, they rolled very far.

If you are on the grassland and encounter soft soil, you may only roll a few meters after landing.

But the terrain of Dashanguan is very suitable for artillery.

The Song army's first shot almost destroyed the Han army.

There were a large number of casualties within more than 30 meters, and at least 20 people fell to the ground.

If this were to be replaced by the previous golden soldiers, someone would probably be able to turn around and run away.

But they are now the Mongolian army. The Mongolian army kills its own people without mercy. Anyone who dares to turn around and run will be beheaded.

"Charge, rush, speed up." A Han general felt something was wrong and could not walk slowly and was hit by artillery fire, so he immediately ordered to speed up.
