At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 166 Darkness Chen Cang
In the late autumn of October, Yang Zhenlong stationed troops under Zhenjiang City, and trenches were still being dug. Jiang Wanzai was blocked by the Wuhu water. However, the Yangtze River water stabilized, and Guan Da led the Wuya ship out of Wujiang.

On the eighth day of October, the fleet with the Wuya large ship as the core arrived ten miles downstream of Jizhou in Jiangyin.

woohoo~
The horns shook the sky, and more than [-] large and small warships of the Yuan army sailed down the river and headed straight for the Song army.

On the Wuya ship, Song Bing constantly adjusted the angle of the ballista, firmly locking his target.

After a moment, Yuan Chuan approached and first used a trebuchet to throw sky thunder.

Boom~ boom~ boom~
The five-toothed ship was immediately covered by gunpowder smoke.

"Kill, kill him!" Liu Jie shouted.

But just as Yuan Chuan entered thirty steps, he saw more than 30 sky thunders shooting out of the smoke.

Boom~ boom~
Any Yuan ship that was hit was immediately injured, and when the Yuan ship that escaped the bombardment came closer, he saw the huge racket fall.

In case of a serious injury, the racket stick is much more powerful than Tianlei.

The two sides were entangled, and they only used their crossbows to fire at each other. The five-toothed ship was covered with copper, and the thunder exploded like a tickle. Even if it hit the deck, its power was weakened by the sandbags.

Since they were not afraid of explosions, of course the Five Tooth Ships went rampant and disrupted the Yuan army's formation. The Guan Da in the rear commanded the ships to follow up, often forming a local situation where more and less were defeated.

Of course, most of the small boats exchanged injuries for injuries, and neither Song nor Yuan had any advantage to take advantage of.

However, the five-toothed ship was too incomprehensible. The Yuan army became more and more timid as they fought, while the Song army became more and more excited. Whether it was throwing thunder from the sky at each other in the distance or jumping into gangs to fight, they all had the upper hand. Unknowingly, the Yuan army began to Scattered away.

"Those who retreat will be killed..." Before Liu Jie could finish his words, a scorpion bumped into him, and Li Sen was the first to kill him.

"Wanhu, leave quickly." The personal guards blocked the Song soldiers and fought in a group.

Both sides were entangled, neither dared to throw thunder, and only fought with swords and guns.

In a close encounter, the brave one wins, and the Song army naturally kills them. Within a moment, the Yuan soldiers dived away one after another.

The water is not safe.

Not to mention the thunder that explodes in the sky, just say that ships come and go, and if you accidentally hit them, you will be seriously injured.

On the water, there were broken pieces of wood, broken boats and corpses everywhere, and soldiers who fell into the water kept plopping.

By the afternoon of the battle, all the Yuan troops retreated. Those who left early returned to Jizhou or even Jinshan further upstream. Those who moved slowly had to land on the spot, and some surrendered directly.

The Song army sank more than [-] ships, and the rest were all injured. Even the five-tooth ship had two holes punched out, and the soldiers suffered casualties of more than [-].

Fortunately, as a victor, he could clean up the battlefield and take away all the personnel and ships floating on the water. In the end, more than [-] ships were captured and more than [-] Yuan soldiers were captured.

The Yuan army suffered a terrible loss, with a total loss of more than 350 ships and [-] to [-] soldiers injured. Because too many escaped or were captured, detailed statistics on casualties cannot be made.

The Song army retreated to Fushan Pass in Pingjiang Prefecture to recuperate, while the Yuan army hid in Jinshan to lick their wounds. Without the support of the navy, the Yuan army in Jizhou withdrew, allowing the Song army to occupy a pass.

In the Yuan army camp in Caishiji, Li Heng, Atahai and Zhang Yu sat together, looking at each other in silence.

After a long time, Zhang Yu said: "Jizhou was defeated, and half of the Zhenjiang navy was gone. If the Song army attacked by force, the entire army would be annihilated."

"Without the navy, Zhenjiang and Jiankang will be attacked from both sides. What should we do?" Atahai sighed.

Li Heng said: "For the current plan, we should retreat to the north of the Yangtze River and try our best to protect Yangzhou. As long as Jinghu Province is safe, we can make a comeback at any time and launch a two-pronged attack strategy."

"This matter is too big for us to decide. It should be decided by the Great Khan." Atahai said.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Li Heng said.

From the perspective of the court, there are many benefits to having a foothold in Jiangnan. For Li Heng, if he lost Jiangxi, he naturally hoped that Jiangnan would also be completely lost.

Everyone is losing, so one person won’t stand out too much.

"I just regret that something happened again in Tubo, otherwise the prince would have gone south, why would he be here." Atahai was very unhappy.

Regardless of Zhenjin's military level, the decision to evacuate Jiangnan was the final decision.While the three were discussing, a soldier came in hurriedly and said, "Marshal, the Nanshan stronghold has been destroyed, and the Song army has arrived at Zhenjiang City."

"What?" Atahai was shocked.

The reason why he was able to come to Caishiji to inspect military affairs was because Jiuhua Mountain had not yet been lost, and Nanshan Mountain was still separated, so Zhenjiang could sit back and relax.

Who would have thought that if you don’t throw it away, it’s enough, if you throw it away, there will be two.

"What a thief!" A Tahai read the battle report, trembling with cold, unable to speak.

It turned out that Zhao Cunzhong persuaded Duo'erde to put on a show, and the two sides staged a bloody battle. The day before yesterday, Duo'erde pretended to be defeated and entered Nanshan stronghold. When the Yuan army was unprepared, he launched an attack and easily captured Nanshan stronghold.

"The treasonous traitor will implicate the nine tribes!" Li Heng was also furious.

Zhang Yu was still relatively calm and said: "Marshal, you should return to Zhenjiang to take charge of the overall situation."

"Okay, I'm here to help you two." As soon as Atahai left the tent, a soldier rushed towards him and almost hit him.

"Marshal, the Song army suddenly crossed the river and occupied Wankou." The soldier said.

"Impossible!" Zhang Yu was shocked and angry, and said: "Old man Jiang is stationed in Wu...how dare you bully me, such a good thief!"

Zhang Yu is so angry.

Obviously, Jiang Wanzai was trying to find a way to cross the river on the surface, but in fact he sent his troops back and crossed the river to attack Anqing Mansion.

Mingxiu plank road, dark Chencang.

"We can no longer hesitate. We must abandon Jiangnan and go all out to defend Jiangbei." Li Heng said.

Atahai said: "Captain Zhang, please mobilize the navy and me to help the Zhenjiang people return north, and you two can collect the Jiankang people's property, how about you?"

"You can't do anything. We should focus on our troops." Li Heng said.

It doesn't matter whether we have new auxiliary troops or not. The Mongolian headquarters must not be lost. The Han troops in the north are equally important and must be brought back.

Without these backbones, even if there are millions of new auxiliary troops, they will be vulnerable.

Atahai took more than a hundred boats down the river, and arrived at Jiaoshan Water Village one night. Liu Jie welcomed him into the village.

As soon as he sat down, Atahai couldn't wait to ask: "How many ships do you have?"

"Five or six hundred."

"So many?" Atahai couldn't believe it, and then realized that this was not Liu Jie's answer.

"Atahai, long time no see." Zhao Cunzhong turned around and bowed his hand to Atahai.

"Traitor!" Atahai was shocked and angry.

Liu Jie was obviously persuaded by his sudden appearance in such a grand manner.

"Marshal, please forgive me," Liu Jie said, "Jiangnan was defeated too quickly. In the end, all the parents, wives, children, and clan members fell into the hands of the imperial court. There is really nothing we can do."

Seeing that Atahai was unwilling to give up, Zhao Cunzhong said: "Atahai, don't struggle anymore. The Yuan soldiers you brought are all surrounded."

"You!" Atahai was speechless.

"Swords and guns have no eyes, and I don't want to hurt you. Don't resist." Zhao Cunzhong said: "When the imperial court and Yuanting exchange prisoners next year, you will still have a chance to turn around. If you die here, what will it do to the matter?"

Atahai sighed and let go.

It is better to die than live, and the two countries are indeed interested in talking about prisoner exchange, and there is a chance to go back.

Of course, Atahai wanted to eat Zhao Cunzhong's flesh in his heart. After all, the traitor was [-] times more hateful than the enemy.
