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

Chapter 178 The Battle of Yangzhou
"kill~"

The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty each drew their guns and stabbed each other into the chest at the same time, killing each other. The soldiers behind them stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to fight.

Within a moment, the narrow tunnel was almost filled with corpses.

"Come on, pour water!" Yuan Jiang shouted.

If the reverse reasoning fails, then flood the Song soldiers in the tunnel to drown them, and at the same time prevent the Song soldiers from planting explosives.

Just when the pool was dug, there was a loud bang and countless earth and bricks flew down, burying the Yuan army underneath.

"Come here, follow me and block the gap!" Ah Shu shouted.

The Song Army's underground siege method had long been spread throughout the Yuan Army. A Shu had been dealing with it carefully, but after persisting for a year, the Song Army finally succeeded.

The city wall was broken, and the Song army swarmed in. Before the Yuan army in the vicinity had recovered, they grabbed the remaining city wall and shot arrows at the Yuan soldiers from a high position.

Thunder?

The generals have been fighting for a long time, and the stock is running out, and they are all calculating to use it.

Yuan soldiers did not stand still, they fought back with bows and crossbows, and moved towards the gap under the cover of the low wall of the house.

Outside the city, horseshoes rumbled. Shi Bi and Wu Ma'er each led three thousand horse troops and rushed to the ditch, hoping to cut off the Song army's backup.

Miao Zaicheng and Yang Zhenlong led two thousand horse troops each to stop the Yuan army from fighting.

Miao Zai paired up with Wu Ma'er, Yang Zhenlong vs. Shi Bi, and they met their opponents in chess. During the clash of weapons, people kept falling off their horses, and horses' hooves flew past, turning into spring mud on the spot. It was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

On the top of the city, Zhang Shijie has commanded the ballista to fire, and bombarded the gathering place of reinforcements in the city.

Yuan Bing's thunder hand still wanted to fight back, but when it came out, arrows were raining down or thunder was rolling, so he could only hide here and there.

After a while, Yuan soldiers retreated to the west of the city.

"Kill, kill back!" Ah Shu was furious.

Jia Gu Zhiqi, the governor of the Jianghuai Province, came and persuaded: "Marshal, [-]% of the elites are lost, and the whole army is discouraged. It is better to withdraw from Yangzhou and make another plan."

"You dare to disturb the morale of our army?" Ashu became more and more angry and raised his knife to chop people.

Jia Gu Zhiqi was not afraid or evasive, he looked directly at Ah Shu and said: "If killing me can save the situation, why bother with this body? The matter has come to this, even if the four heroes come back to life, it cannot be undone.

The current plan is to gather elites to guard Gaoyou and prevent the Song army from moving north along the river. "

"Report~" A horseman galloped over and shouted: "The navy of the Song Army has gone up the Yellow River. Huai'an has been lost. I instruct the deputy marshal of the capital to withdraw from Gaoyou. I ask the marshal to make a decision immediately."

"I have never missed an important event in the country!" Ah Shu was so angry that he vomited blood, but he knew that the situation was over and Yangzhou could never be defended, so he ordered: "Order all the generals to gather their troops and retreat to Chuzhou. Governor Chen Yan's troops will be cut off from behind. If you order us again, we will all retreat to Xuyi."

When the order came out, all the generals immediately gathered their troops and went out of the west gate. Only Chen Yan's face was ashen.

His father, Chen Yiben, was the deputy envoy of Huangzhou along the Yangtze River. Boyan greeted him before he arrived. He was awarded the title of Governor of the Yangtze River. Ten thousand households in the army.

At the beginning of the surrender, following Ashu's attack on Li Tingzhi, he felt relaxed and happy. On weekdays, he ate some free money and drank some soldiers' blood, and was extremely happy.

Unexpectedly, within two years of the good times, Song Jun actually came back.

"General, Wanhu Tomache has arrived outside the door and requests troops." The guard came in and said.

Chen Yan saw everyone on the left and right were in fear, gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, how about using Tomato as a tool for promotion?"

"It all depends on the general!" Everyone on the left and right was overjoyed.

The brave and brainless ones were all grinded to death in the millstone, and the rest were mostly those who were greedy for life and fearful of death, so naturally they put their lives first.

Besides, the general doesn’t care about his father, wife and children, so what do others care about?
Not a moment later, General Xuanwu and the general manager of Chuzhou Road, Daru Huachi, came in and said, "Chen Yan, after the marshal ordered you to stop, why haven't the army left the camp yet?"

Chen Yan stepped forward and kicked him away. When Tomche hurriedly avoided, he was too slow to react due to old age and frailty, and was kicked to the ground. "Kill~"

The newly attached troops, each armed with swords and guns, surrounded Tomache and fought with his own soldiers.

"Take it down, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!" Chen Yan shouted coldly, drawing a knife to Tomche's neck, and said: "Just stay there, there is no chance that you will be exchanged."

"Thief, if you dare to betray the Great Khan, you will die a good death!" Toma Che cursed, suddenly twisted his neck and rubbed against the blade, and died immediately.

The general was about to die, and the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty were frightened and became more and more difficult to resist.

Originally, all those who were brave and good at fighting were lost outside the city. The remaining ones were not many in number and did not have strong fighting spirit. They were all killed on the spot within a short time.

"Bad luck!" Chen Yan wiped the blood on Tomche's body and said, "I won't stop doing anything until now. It's over now. Go catch Ah Shu and make a great contribution."

"It's up to the general to decide." Everyone agreed, and immediately mobilized troops to catch Ashu.

Just after leaving the camp, they collided with the Song army.

Seeing that Song soldiers were about to kill him without saying a word, Chen Yan quickly shouted: "Don't do anything. We are willing to hunt down Ah Shu with Master Wang anyway."

At this time, Ah Shu had already left the city and rushed towards Chuzhou with more than [-] people. Wu Ma'er and Shi Bi also wanted to leave, but they were closely pursued by the Song army and could not escape.

While in a hurry, a brigade of Song Army infantry surrounded them, apparently intending to eat up the Yuan Army's horse soldiers.

Shi Bige opened Yang Zhenlong's horse, hit the horse and left.

Shi Bi's war horse was given by Kublai Khan and was extremely powerful. Yang Zhenlong couldn't catch up with him, so he had to kill the remaining Yuan soldiers and go to help Miao Zaicheng.

Wu Maer was panicked in his heart. He was already struggling to hold on, but when he saw Yang Zhenlong coming, he was distracted and knocked off his horse by Miao Zaicheng.

Seeing that the Yuan army's cavalry had been dealt with, Zhang Shijie immediately led the army to chase A Shu.

Outside Xuyi City, Zhang Sicong knelt on the ground, holding up the official seal, head, and roster with both hands to welcome Jiang Cai's arrival.

Jiang Cai jumped off his horse, helped Zhang Sicong up, and said, "If you throw in the food when you have run out, but you can still find your way back, what's the crime?"

"Thank you, General, for your understanding." Zhang Sicong choked with sobs.

It is also sad to say that when I was in charge of the Xuyi Army, all the food for the troops was limited to Yangzhou, which made the territory poor and empty. The Yuan army came to the city and fought for two days before they ran out of food and had no soldiers to fight, so they had to surrender. .

When Jiang Cai entered the city, we could see blood stains everywhere on the streets. This was the trace left by Zhang Sicong who mobilized the soldiers and civilians in the city to kill Yuan soldiers.

"Fortunately, I acted quickly. If I were even an hour late, I would have been taken away." Zhang Sicong was still frightened.

Xuyi Daru Hua Chituo'er reacted very quickly, but he just felt that something was wrong and wanted to capture Zhang Sicong and kill the generals. If Zhang Sicong had not already assembled his troops, it was still unclear who would win.

In Sizhou City, Liu Xingzu was a moment slow and was captured by Yuan General Dadal. The five thousand defenders in the city were all under control.

When Shi Zhong led his army to the city, he found that the city gate was locked and immediately ordered a storm.

Sizhou City is located in the rear area, but there are no sky thunders. The Song army hit the city in one blow.

The new attached army immediately mutinied, Dadar saw that the situation was not good, and decisively led his troops to abandon the city.

There were only more than 300 people, so Shi Zhong did not pursue them, but only reorganized the city defense.

Sizhou is on the north bank of the Huaihe River. The city can be lost and Xuyi has no worries, so Jiang Cai only left [-] troops to garrison, and the remaining [-] troops went south. It would be a good sight to instigate.

They were all very vigilant, and when they realized that Xu Yi was missing, they immediately turned west, heading to Chuzhou to join forces with A Shu.

At the same time, the Song army in the south of the Yangtze River crossed the river in large numbers and launched a full-scale attack while the Yuan army's positions were shaking.
