    On the day of the official siege, He Chian stood in the lookout shed not far from Moutong City, preparing to watch the upcoming siege drama.

    He Chian was not the only one in the lookout shed.  On the left side of He Chian is Liu Guo, the chief reporter of the "Da Song Beijing News", and on the right side is Huang Gan, who came to Xin Shuai's camp on behalf of Zhu Xi and is now the chief reporter of the "Special Zone News".  On Huang Qian's right hand is Liu Xianlun, the chief reporter of "Xiayi Express". Liu Xianlun is a fellow villager of Liu Guo. Together with Liu Guo, he is known as the "Two Commoners of Luling". His reputation in the cultural and journalistic circles is increasing.

    Liu Xianlun's right hand is Chen Guangya, a reporter from "Nan Asia News". "Nan Asia News" is run by Chen Liang, so it is normal to send reporters.  Anyway, Zhao Luan and Chen Liang are both unambiguous. Zhao Luan has "Xiayi Express" and Chen Liang has "South Asia News". The capture of Moutong Mansion is a key battle in the attack on Dali. This battle is naturally particularly arousing.  It is natural for the media to pay attention and various newspapers send reporters to cover the matter.

    Currently, these five people are the reporter representatives of the five most influential newspapers in the Song Dynasty.  Liu Guo represented the Beijing News of the Song Dynasty. Since he was backed by a prestigious newspaper that was the mouthpiece of the imperial court, Liu Guo ranked first and was naturally expected by the public.  As for the influence of "Xinbao" in the Song Dynasty and "Jingbao of the Song Dynasty", it naturally ranks second.  The circulation of "Special Economic Zone News" ranks third, and with Zhu Xi, a world-famous Confucian, as the backing, it is worthy of being ranked third.  It's just that "Xia Yi Express" and "Nan Ya Xin Bao" are not ranked in the newspaper rankings of the Song Dynasty. These two newspapers are not as good as some local newspapers!  However, he had a strong background, so his treatment was similar to that of the major newspapers, so the five major reporters occupied the best field observation booths.

    As for other people, they don¡¯t get such good treatment. Some tabloids don¡¯t even get treatment to watch the game. Reporters from local newspapers gather in a press area with a barbed wire fence in front, which is better than no security.

    Duan Jinnan was treated well, and he was also in a lookout shed. The lookout shed was one foot above the ground and even provided telescopes. However, Duan Jinnan didn't take it seriously as he was followed by two staff officers.  Also in the lookout booth were a group of people wearing foreign costumes. Looking at the costumes, among them were people from Jinglong Jindian Kingdom.  The Jinglong Jindian Kingdom is also called Meng Le (pronounced meng¡¤le). Speaking of it, the king of Meng Le Kingdom, Payazhen, was originally the Yinsheng Jiedushi of Dali Kingdom. Due to the chaos in the Gao family, Payazhen  Then he left Dali and expanded everywhere. Now it claims that its country has a population of eight million and nine thousand war elephants. The Jinglong Jindian Kingdom was only established twelve years ago. It must be said that the expansion speed is really astonishing. What is abominable is that the Jinglong Jindian Kingdom  He also hugged the golden thigh of Song Dynasty, so Dali Kingdom was naturally helpless.  When Duan Jinnan saw this situation, he knew that the people from the Jinglong Jindian Kingdom must have come to see the direction of the war. No matter whether the Mengli Kingdom was sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, or maybe they wanted to attack Dali with the Song Dynasty, it was definitely not good.

    ?????????? In fact, not only did Menglu Kingdom send people, but also people from Qi Kingdom and Luo Shi Gui Kingdom came to watch the battle.

    The reporters were naturally invited by Marshal Xin. Marshal Xin had tasted the sweetness of news building and naturally would not let go of the best opportunity to establish his authority. So reporters from major newspapers and tabloids all went to the battle, and they didn¡¯t know what would happen when the time came.  What does it look like to hype up a siege battle?

    As for the envoys from various countries who came to watch the battle, half of it was at the request of the envoys. For example, the envoy from Mengli State took the initiative to request to watch the battle.  This is not surprising. In view of the growing strength of the Song Dynasty, the Mengli Kingdom is now truly aware of the threat of the Song Dynasty. Now the Song Dynasty is sending troops to the Dali Kingdom, or the next one will be the Mengli Kingdom, Marshal Xin  If we want to build the Belt and Road Initiative and use the road from Mengli State to connect with the Kra Isthmus, it is impossible to say. Who knows what Marshal Xin is thinking!  Therefore, Mengli State must understand the combat power of the Song Dynasty before it can choose its own countermeasures.

    As for Zi Qi Kingdom and Luo Shi Gui Kingdom, Xin Shuai invited them to watch the battle.  These two countries can be regarded as the Jisi Kingdom of the Song Dynasty, located at the junction of Guizhou and Yunnan in later generations. In the past few years, the strength of these two small countries has been rising, and they are not as good as the Song Dynasty. They will occasionally have conflicts with the Song Dynasty.  The country of Dali was sometimes at war with each other.  However, in the past two years, the two small countries have become much more honest. In order to make them more honest, Xin Shuai specially invited representatives from the two countries to watch the battle, which was like killing a chicken to show the monkey.

    There were no envoys in Bagan to watch the battle. It seemed that after the Song Dynasty wiped out the Dali Kingdom, there would be a battle between Song Dynasty and Pugan.  In this regard, the Mengli envoy secretly rejoiced that it would be better to divert the disaster to the west, and the Song Dynasty's military front should not be directly directed at the Mengli Kingdom.

    It must be said that the preparations for the siege were quite tedious. Reporters and spectators on Liu Guo's station used telescopes to look at the battlefield situation in front of them from time to time. They saw that siege equipment was constantly being moved forward, and even risk-taking troops were dispatched.  Black smoke squeaks and dragsThe tractor is good. There is an iron plate installed in front of the tractor. The bow and arrow are shooting on it, making a crackling sound. It is very lively.

    However, that¡¯s it, as time goes by, the long-range confrontation in the front is lackluster, and the exciting battle has not started, damn it!  This foreplay is too procrastinating!  As a result, the reporters who were busy started to find topics to chat about.

    Among the five of them, Huang Qian has always been unhappy. While the other four were having a lively chat, Huang Qian had a sad face and was completely absent-minded.

    Liu Tai turned to Huang Qian and said:

    "Brother Huang, I'm still thinking about your Thunderbolt Chariot. Let me tell you, the Thunderbolt Chariot is the secret weapon of our Song Dynasty. It is specially used to crush the Jin soldiers. As for the scumbag soldiers of Dali Kingdom, they are basically useless.  There¡¯s no need for thunderous chariots, Brother He, I¡¯m right!¡±

    Huang Qian was unhappy. Of course Liu Guo knew the reason. This time when he sent troops to Dali, he managed to equip the army with six thunderbolt chariots built under the supervision of Zhu Xi.  This is because the Privy Council has different opinions on this. Opponents said that there is no need to use a thunderbolt chariot to kill a chicken, and there is no need to use a thunderbolt chariot to defeat Dali. Those in favor said that it is necessary to test the combat effectiveness of a thunderbolt chariot in actual combat, so they compromised.  The result was that the Southwest Expeditionary Army was equipped with six Thunderbolt Chariots.

    According to the plan, the Thunderbolt Chariot came out to capture Moutong Mansion, but unfortunately, the Thunderbolt Chariot was too bulky. It weighed more than eight tons and could not pass on the pontoon bridge. As a result, the Thunderbolt Chariot had to  It must be said that it is a great regret to stay in the rear and not be able to show off in the battle of Moutong Mansion.

    Of course, there was actually no way out, which was to reinforce the pontoon bridge. However, the cost of reinforcing the pontoon bridge was a bit high. Finally, he reported to Marshal Xin. Xin Shuai saw that in order to make those bulky guys appear on the stage, in addition to spending a lot of money, they also had to waste a lot of money.  In the end, Xin Shuai canceled the Thunderbolt Chariot scene with just one sentence. This made Huang Qian furious, but Xin Shuai's decision made sense, so Huang Qian could only sulk on his own.

    He Chi'an also knew about this, but Huang Qian seemed to regard the Mao Group as a competitor. He Chi'an couldn't answer the question, and it was obvious that he couldn't irritate Huang Qian anymore.  Speaking of those iron turtles, He Chi'an felt that there was really no need to show them off now. Originally, the reason was obvious. Tanks and armored vehicles were used to restrain the golden soldiers in decisive battles on the plains. It was best to use one thing at a time. But with  It may not be suitable on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. To be honest, it would be better to install a baffle on the Mao tractor!

    He Chian had no choice but to talk about him:

    "Perhaps Xin Shuai thinks that blasting the city wall is more practical. Xin Shuai has been with Minmetals Holdings for two years. If nothing else, he has a bunch of blasters under his command, and no one can compare with them. Haha!"

    As He Chian said, everyone has known for a long time that this time Xin Shuai led his troops on the expedition and recruited a group of mining blasters and a group of miners to form an army of his own. This is Xin Shuai's direct descendant. The Xin family army who blasted the city wall  The best show.

    "Haha, what I'm talking about is, it seems that it is really a blast. Didn't you say that we will carry out aerial strikes? Air strikes are more exciting!" Chen Guangya seems to be looking forward to seeing a wonderful siege drama, preferably from the sky.  A bunch of colorful balloons were put up, and then all kinds of firearms came down from high, booming and booming, the sound and light effects were unparalleled, so the Dali army dispersed in a rush, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty descended from the sky, and then captured the city in one fell swoop.

    "I heard that the siege tactics this time were neither city wall blasting nor air strikes. I heard it was the engineer's armored ladder tactic! The engineer's armored ladder is said to be the most powerful. An iron box-like corridor was built up on the city wall.  , the long corridor is covered with steel plates, making it invulnerable to arrows. Then the soldiers of the Song Dynasty filed out of the long corridor, with a burst of bullets sweeping across, and they could seize the city in a blink of an eye." Liu Xianlun was originally a fan of thunder chariots.  fans, but it is a pity that the Thunderbolt Chariot cannot appear on the stage. However, as an avid fan of the Steel Party, Liu Xianlun feels that it is the best solution to directly build the pontoon steel bridge thing on the top of the city, not to mention, such  The visual effects are also shocking enough.

    "In my opinion, cannons can best solve the problem. If a cannon is blasted down, any city wall will be trash." Liu Guo is a complete cannonist.

    He Chi'an couldn't help but find it funny, haha, bragging is a very easy job, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to the show.

    "Hey! What's going on! The Dali army has actually left the city! Are they going to fight for it!"

    Five people only had two telescopes. Liu Guo snatched the telescope from Liu Xianlun, and He Chian handed the telescope to Huang Qian.

    "I'm telling you, it would be wrong if these Dali troops didn't respond. Since ancient times, we can't just defend the city. Counterattack is necessary. However, we usually have to wait for the attacking side to be unable to attack the city for a long time before launching a counterattack.  Why is this Gao Xiangguo so crazy that he takes the initiative to attack as soon as the war starts? This is notAre you going to die?  "

    "Reporter Liu Da, this is just a probing attack. Look, there are only a thousand cavalry. Their idea is to fight if they can win, and leave if they can't." Chen Guangya teased.

    The Dali army bullied the Song army for lack of flattery, so they dispatched a thousand cavalry to attack. The first was of course a probing attack, and the second was to prevent the Song's siege equipment from being continuously transported to the moat. In the eyes of Gao Xiangguo, this could not be done  Just sit back and wait for death, and carry out exploratory attacks, which can at least disrupt the rhythm of the Song Dynasty's siege.
