Liu Guangshi nodded gloomily, thinking to himself: "Although this old general is commendable for his loyalty and bravery, he is extremely stupid. He actually supports a woman to become the emperor. It is really sad."
He was thinking this in his mind, but he said in his mouth: "Since the old general is already sure of victory, I don't need to waste any more words. I just want to ask the old general about something."
Zongze asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Liu Guangshi looked hesitant, but finally said: "The old general is already old, why should he offend the world for a woman? How about retreating into seclusion and retiring to old age?"
When Zongze heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "For the sake of the country and the people of the Song Dynasty, why should I be afraid of offending a woman? I tell you, Her Royal Highness is smart, wise, benevolent and kind, and she will definitely lead the Song Dynasty to prosperity. Prosperity. If you know the current affairs, you will submit to the imperial court early, otherwise you will perish."
Liu Guangshi looked at Zongze with a pale face and thought to himself: "This old general is really hopeless."
He waved his hand behind him, signaling the army to start attacking.
For a time, the sound of war drums was deafening, and Liu Guangshi's army began to attack Chenzhou City.
Zongze's face darkened and he shouted loudly: "Archers, prepare!"
Following his command, the archers began to fire archers were all elites mobilized from Da Nei by Zhao Yingluo. Their arrows were fast and accurate, and they could shoot directly at the array of Liu Guangshi's army.
For a time, a large area of the forward of Liu Guangshi's army was shot down.
Liu Guangshi looked ahead with a gloomy expression. He knew how powerful these archers at this time, we were in a dilemma and had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the attack.
He shouted loudly: "Cavalry, prepare!"
Following his order, the cavalry began to charge towards Chenzhou these cavalry cannot withstand the attacks of archers, their impact is extremely strong and can scatter the opponent's array.
However, just as the cavalry was about to approach Chenzhou City, another dense rain of arrows fell, and the cavalry fell to the ground one after another.
When Liu Guangshi saw this, he was originally thought that the impact of the cavalry could break up the opponent's array, but he did not expect these archers to be so powerful.
He shouted loudly: "Infantry prepare!"
It was too late, then it was too late. Following Liu Guangshi's order, the infantry quickly charged , facing the dense arrows, these infantrymen could not get close to Chenzhou City, and they could only fall to the ground after being hit by arrows.
Seeing this, Zongze burst into laughter and said, "General Liu, do you understand now that the world no longer belongs to you? It is best to surrender to the imperial court as early as possible."
Liu Guangshi looked at this scene with a pale face. He originally thought that Chenzhou City could be easily captured with the impact of cavalry and infantry, but he did not expect these archers to be so powerful.
He shouted loudly: "The whole army is ready!"
Following his order, all the soldiers began to launch the final charge towards Chenzhou , facing the dense rain of arrows, these soldiers could not get close to Chenzhou City and could only fall to the ground after being hit by arrows.
Seeing this, Zongze laughed loudly and said: "General Liu, do you understand now that the world no longer belongs to you? It is best to surrender to the imperial court as early as possible."
Liu Guangshi saw his army falling one after another, and felt sad in his knew that he had been defeated, and that he had been defeated so completely.
He shouted loudly: "Withdraw the troops!" Following his order, the remaining army began to retreat , it was too late by now, the archers' arrows had already shot behind them.
Liu Guangshi saw his army falling one after another, and felt sad in his knew that he had been defeated, and that he had been defeated so completely.
He shouted loudly: "Continue the attack!"
However, following his order, the remaining army continued to launch a final charge towards Chenzhou , facing the dense rain of arrows, these soldiers could not get close to Chenzhou City and could only fall to the ground after being hit by arrows.
Zongze stood on the city wall, looking solemnly at the retreat of Liu Guangshi's he repelled the enemy's attack this time, he was not at ease in his heart.
He knew that Liu Guangshi would not give up was a veteran with rich military experience. Although his army was repulsed, it was not completely wiped will continue to look for opportunities to launch their next attack.
Although archers played an important role in this battle, their number was not Liu Guangshi concentrated his attacks, it would be difficult for them to withstand the opponent's impact.
Zongze took a deep breath, knowing that he must now come up with a way to deal with Liu Guangshi's next attack.
At this moment, a soldier came and reported that a reinforcement force from Kaifeng had arrived outside Chenzhou City.
Zongze was so happy that he immediately ordered the city gates to be opened to welcome the arrival of reinforcements.
This support force is an elite cavalry led by Yue soon as they arrived, they immediately began to set up defenses in preparation for Liu Guangshi's next attack.
Yue Fei suggested to Zongze that he could use the terrain advantages to set set up an ambush in a forest outside the city and had archers ambush in the trees, waiting for the enemy's arrival.
Not long after, Liu Guangshi's army appeared time they no longer rushed directly to the city wall like last time, but first sent out cavalry to conduct a probing attack.
As a hail of arrows fell, Liu Guangshi's cavalry fell to the ground one after afterwards, Yue Fei's cavalry rushed out of the woods, causing chaos in the enemy's rear.
Liu Guangshi felt bitter in his heart as he watched his army retreat knew that he had lost the chance to capture Chenzhou, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
Liu Guangshi left Chenzhou in despair with the remaining defeated soldiers and returned to Lin'an to return his orders to the knew that his failure had caused the emperor to lose trust in him, but he still wanted to defend himself.
He knelt before the emperor, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, although I failed to capture Chenzhou this time, it is not because I did not try my best, but because the enemy was too cunning."
Zhao Gou listened to Liu Guangshi's defense expressionlessly, but thought to himself: "This old general has indeed tried his best, but his ability is not qualified for this position."
He knew very well that Liu Guangshi's failure was not just because of the enemy's cunning, but more importantly, because his tactics were too old and unable to cope with modern is also the reason why he has been unable to capture Chenzhou.
To win this war, we need a general who understands modern warfare better.
After a period of hard defense, Chenzhou City was never breached by the imperial morale of the imperial army gradually declined due to the prolonged siege.
Zongze knew now was a good time to ordered Wang Ce to lead the elite cavalry in a surprise attack, causing chaos in the rear of the imperial the same time, he ordered the gunmen to launch an attack on the camp of the imperial army, leaving the other party unable to respond.
