Chapter 1937 falls short
This is the 28th day when the Song army besieged Qunnu City. Since the people who broke through Qunnu City a few days ago, the soldiers of Qunnu City have no longer dared to move around.
In fact, not only the soldiers in Qunnu City, but even the Indian soldiers in the ravines did not dare to move around. The ravines were originally the support of the Indian army, but now they have become the support of the Song army.
Relying on these crossbows of the Song army, the crossbows of the ravines, almost achieved a situation where one man could pass by ten thousand men. The Indian people in Qunu City continued to test, and the final takeover was full of heavy casualties.
And under such a powerful siege by the Song army, the soldiers in Qunun City did not dare to break through rashly.
But time waits for no one, and the pressure on the Indians is getting bigger and bigger, and they are even at a level that they are almost unable to hold on. The problem of food is urgent.
This situation is really ridiculous. The army of hundreds of thousands was suppressed by an army of more than one hundred thousand people. The food could not be transported in, and the materials needed could not be transported in. The huge Qunun City was actually blocked.
There are six gates in Qunun City, and there are almost any defense lines of the Song army outside each gate. It is more difficult to break through the Song army's defense lines than to pass through the Buddha's seat!
The longer it delayed, the less beneficial it would be for Najepolo, so at the end of November he made a comprehensive breakthrough.
The news was passed to all the Indian soldiers, and the emperor was about to lead the elite to break through, and everyone, regardless of the soldiers, could follow him.
When the sound of Nagasvalan's trombone continued to sound from various places, the big breakthrough of Qunun City officially kicked off, and countless Indians brought their families to the streets.
They were about to leave this dead city, and even if they might die on the way to break through, they would resolutely. Everyone was instilled with a concept that the Song army would massacre the city after occupying the city.
The news from Seljuk has been recognized as the Song army's strategy to fight the enemy. The entire Qunun City has been in panic and does not intend to die in this "dead city".
The easiest way now is to leave the city, because there is no way out except this method.
The voice of Nagasvalan's trombone resounded throughout the sky inside and outside the city, and countless Indians began to break through the siege, even the soldiers guarding the ravines outside the city were no exception.
Such a trombone sound means that the emperor of the dynasty has given up the capital and is about to begin a great migration. The people of India can hear a deep sadness from the trombone sound, and even the soldiers of the Song army who are not sad can hear it.
Qunnu City is like a big forest. When a fire breaks out in the forest, all animals will sprint out regardless of their own life, either destroying the forest or rushing out to seek a glimmer of life.
The choice of life and death will be willing to choose the latter. When forced to do so, they can only break through the simplest and most rude method.
Even if the Song army deployed the defensive gullies again outside the defense circle of Qunnu City, it could not stop the Indians' desire to survive.
The wisdom of China is great. This can be seen from the art of war. The so-called "siege of encirclement is not the application of warfare, but also the application of psychology.
When facing enemies who are surrounded, there are three possible ideas: first, surrender, second, fight to the death, and most of them are the third: wait and see and obey the commander.
When surrounded, if the enemy is surrounded on all sides, it may prompt the enemy commander to make up for the death. On the contrary, if a gap is deliberately left, it may cause the enemy commander to sway between running away or fighting to the death, and at the same time, it may cause the enemy soldiers to lose their fighting spirit.
More importantly, leaving a void gap is not to let it go, but to set an ambush in the place where the enemy must pass, or to block the focus at that place, so that the enemy can fall into an ambush during the hasty escape.
Especially for the enemy who besiege the castle, once the enemy abandons the city and fles, it will be free from the pain of siege and completely eliminate the enemy on the field battlefield.
In contrast, it is obviously much less difficult to fight against an enemy that is fleeing, and the cost will be much less. A slightly smart general can calculate this.
But it was precisely this common tactic used by military strategists that was ignored by Shi Yuansun, or he deliberately ignored it. The reason was that he was eager to make contributions and planned to completely encircle the Death Qun Nu City.
He forgot that there were too many enemies, and even if the Song army had strong combat power, they could not completely surround and kill the Indians in Qunu City.
Quantitative change will produce qualitative change, which is something Shi Yuansun never imagined.
The Indians who were rushing like tides could not see the end. The Song army's encirclement was much larger than the defense circle of the Indians, which also meant that the troops were dispersed.
It is not a problem when facing small groups of enemies. You can achieve "support from all sides when there is difficulties", but when encountering saturation strikes, you will feel powerless.
The concentrated Song army can produce more killing effects, but the scattered Song army cannot support each other and can only fight for each other.
The Song army had no choice but to start gathering, otherwise it would be possible to be defeated by each one, and the encirclement became riddled with holes in an instant.
At this point, the war was no longer a conventional positional war, but a chaotic, clueless war that could only fight each other.
When Shi Yuansun saw the Indians breaking wildly, his face turned pale. He knew where his loophole was, but he always wanted to win the bet.
But the final result was as Liang Huai predicted. What he said to himself before leaving was indeed correct: "Without surround and fight back to the death, the front line will not exist, the enemy must not be destroyed, and the enemy cannot be captured!"
The Indians were really brave and fearless this time. The traps and mechanisms buried by the Song army were all filled with their lives by the Indians. The bodies accumulated in the pit, allowing the later generations to step onto the gullies in front of them.
It is not difficult to find the Emperor of Heaven in this chaos, but what can I do if I find it?
A large number of Indians have filled the front lines, and it is comparable to climbing the sky to rush over. Even if they have the ability to rush over, can the soldiers stationed there withstand the fierce attack of the elite Indians without fear of death?
A large number of war elephants were lined up in square formations and used iron chains to rush towards the fortifications of the Song army. The wooden thorns on the ground and the caltrops on the horse rope were not fatal to this kind of behemoth, but on the contrary, they could arouse their anger.
The Song soldiers armed to their teeth were thrown away by the nose of an elephant. The thick elephant legs could stomp people with just one step. The people who fell to the ground could not withstand the trampling of the furious war elephant.
The earth was trembling and the elephant group was roaring. This was a victory for the Indians. Even if the Song army tried hard to kill, it would only kill more than 80,000 people. This was the best result.
