Chapter 262 Fire Suppression

On the border tower of Xingqing Mansion, two Shenwu cannons were firing in turn.

The roaring sound of cannons shocked everyone's hearts, as if they were witnessing a miracle, it was astonishing.

Song Xi used a telescope to observe the enemy's situation twenty miles away, and issued orders from time to time to adjust the scope and intensity of the bombing.

The Song family's army in the city is already ready to go, and they can kill the enemy as soon as the city gate is opened.

The Tatar soldiers who were attacked did not know what they would face next. They were still crying and fleeing towards their camp in panic.

All the companions around him fell in pieces under the gunfire, and not even half of them were able to escape successfully.

The young Tatar generals who were riding fast were cursing and running away, their hearts filled with uncontrollable fear.

The Song Army's weapons seemed to have eyes, and they kept chasing after them and bombing them indiscriminately. This was the first time they had encountered such a terrible situation in many years of fighting, and they didn't even have a chance to fight back!

The weak and incompetent Dazhou Sheep actually possess such powerful weapons, can they continue to plunder survival resources in the future?

The two neighboring countries have long had a deep hatred. The strong rise of one means the decline and demise of the other.

The Tatars were resentful and unwilling, so they could only meet with the large army first and then discuss ways to counterattack.

It is impossible for the Song family army to have no weaknesses. When they find a breakthrough, they will definitely retaliate severely!

The Tatar soldiers, who were pursued by artillery fire, would go all the way north and did not really stop until about fifty miles away. This place was not far from the Tatar camp, and Zhou's weapons did not continue to attack.

The Tatar generals were all still frightened. After taking a short rest, they began to count their numbers. Today's attack on the city brought a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, but now they were hit by artillery fire and only more than 13,000 people were left!

"Damn it! We have to go back as soon as possible to report to the Great Khan. The Song family army got a strange weapon from nowhere. It is as lethal as an earth dragon turning over!"

"Go back to the main camp to consolidate our forces first. I don't believe that Xingqing Mansion can withstand an attack by 60,000 people! Ladders and bows and arrows must also be prepared. The Song family's army must not dare to leave the city because there are not enough troops."

"It's better to send a few people back to ask for help from the Great Khan first. The seventh prince's matter must be reported as soon as possible. If the Song family army has another attack, wouldn't we just have to wait to die?"

"Bah! You coward! The people of Zhou are just a bunch of cowardly white sheep. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

The arguing Tatar soldiers will slow down and walk towards the camp, and their original nervous and fearful mood will gradually calm down after they are safe.

However, before they could reach the vicinity of the camp, a large crowd of people running towards them appeared in their field of vision.

A group of Tatar soldiers immediately became alert, and after a closer look, they discovered that they were their colleagues who were staying behind in the camp.

They ran forward with fear on their faces, as if they were avoiding something dangerous.

The Tatar soldiers who were stopped at the same spot thought to themselves strangely, and at the same time, they had an ominous premonition in their hearts. Just when they were about to run up and ask questions, the roar of artillery fire suddenly rang out again!

This time they attacked from the rear of the main camp. Judging from the situation, their camp had been completely destroyed. The 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the main camp fled in panic, looking for a possible way out like headless flies.

The two parties quickly joined together and after a hurried conversation, they understood each other's situation.

It turned out that when the Seventh Prince led his men to attack the city, the Tatar camp was also under heavy artillery fire.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the camp suffered heavy casualties. It was visually estimated that only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses were left. After the two sides met, there were less than 50,000 soldiers and horses. They lost so many warriors in such a short period of time!

Of the 80,000 starting troops, only 50,000 were left. This was an unprecedented situation for the Tatar army!

Even Dingbeihou, who was brave and good at fighting at the time, would not have been able to cause so much damage in just half a day!

Now that they can neither attack the city nor return to camp, what should they do next?

The Tatar generals quarreled again and could not agree on the follow-up actions.

Some want to return to the Tatar capital immediately and report the changes here to the Khan. How to solve the problem requires gathering the wisdom of everyone. They continue to suffer and are just waiting to die!

Some thought that they should take advantage of the situation and return to Xingqing Mansion. These artillery fires were definitely not unlimited. When the weapons of the Song Army were completely disabled, they would attack the city with all their strength to capture the target, and bring back Zhou's new weapons to atone for their sins.

Several Tatar generals argued and fled towards the east. Although they had great differences, they acted in the same way.

The eastern part of Yunchuan is where the Tatar capital is located. They say they want revenge, but in their hearts they are more inclined to save their lives.

How could Song Xi allow the Tatars to escape easily?

These 50,000 Tatar soldiers will soon encounter a new round of bombing!

Dao Hong and Jian Dong respectively led 10,000 soldiers and horses and one cannon to attack them from the east and west, while Song Xi led Xingqing Mansion's 30,000 soldiers and horses and three cannons to pursue the fleeing Tatars.

Five cannons bombarded continuously for half an hour, and the Song family army, which was ready to go, surrounded and suppressed the remaining defeated soldiers from three directions.

This battle lasted less than three days, and Xingqing Mansion achieved complete victory!

The 80,000 Tatar soldiers will not survive, and the Song family's 50,000 soldiers and horses only have dozens of casualties. Such a war record is unheard of, and Song Xi's ability has refreshed everyone's understanding!

The border guards who had been stationed in Xingqing Mansion for a long time were very excited and praised their lord's talents with praises. The local people were also dumbfounded and were shocked to crown Song Xi as the God of War.

If we were just grateful and curious about the Song Army in the past, now we have more respect and awe after this battle. The fierce and cruel Tatars are no longer a scourge. With the protection of the Song Army, everyone can rest easy!

Song Xi did not feel complacent about the victory in this battle. After resting on the spot, he began to plan his next move.

The Tatar corpses all over the ground were burned, and after cleaning them up, they began to raid the central and western areas of Yunchuan.

The Tatars are a nomadic people. In addition to establishing a prosperous capital city in the east, other tribes and people are scattered in various places to build felt bags to live in. Each settlement is very far away, and only a few noble tribes live there.

Relatively larger.

Song Xi ordered his scouts to carry out small drones to conduct reconnaissance everywhere, and would only lead troops to conquer areas where the Tatar army was confirmed. He did not kill all the ordinary Tatar people, but only sent the Song family army to drive them east.

Half a month later, the central and western parts of Yunchuan were completely occupied by the Song army, and all the Tatars were driven to the eastern part of Yunchuan.

Song Xi ordered Dao Hong and Jiandong to stay temporarily to deal with related matters. The 20,000 Song family troops were responsible for patrolling the new territory and Xingqing Mansion. He himself rushed to Lanquan Mansion with 30,000 troops and horses, intending to see the battle situation in Xirong before proceeding.
