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

Chapter 196 Running away
Boom~ boom~ boom~
The iron bullets roared and hit the city wall, the bricks and stones cracked, and the sand and sand flew.

The Xiangyang city wall is indeed strong. Although it looks like there is a lot of movement, the damage is actually limited.

Zhang Wangbei was not in a hurry, he just waited patiently.

Encircling a point for reinforcements can not only eliminate the enemy's physical strength, but also weaken the will of the defenders. Wait for the Yuan troops from the surrounding cities to come for reinforcements.

At this time, Xiushui was swimming upstream, and Lai Abachi was sitting by the water, biting into a chicken leg.

In the village not far away, there were fireworks and hundreds of corpses lying in a pool of blood, dying with their eyes open.

While feasting, a soldier rushed over and said, "Deputy Marshal, there are Song soldiers stationed at the exit of the mountain road."

"Assemble the entire army and set off immediately!" Lai Abachi shouted.

Immediately, three thousand forwards gathered together and ran towards the exit.

They had just massacred the village and had a hearty meal, and their morale had recovered a lot, very quickly.

When we arrived at the exit, we saw an army stronghold standing on a hill, with more than a thousand soldiers and civilians busy carrying stones and wood.

Fenning County Lieutenant Zhou Kuan was also sizing up the Yuan army. Seeing that the enemy was fully equipped and the formation was dense, he couldn't help but show a hint of worry.

Fenning was originally a county, and the tallest was the school lieutenant. There were usually only five hundred soldiers in the city, but because there were many bandits gathering in the mountains, the number increased to a thousand, but most of them were brave, and their equipment and fighting skills could only be said to be average.

"Brothers, fellow villagers!" Zhou Kuan turned around and said, "I am waiting here to buy time for my parents, wife and children to retreat. If we are alive, my family will die, and vice versa. How do you decide?"

"Fight it!" Everyone shouted in response.

In order to buy time for the retreat of the rear county and the surrounding people to hide, Zhou Kuan led the army to fortify here.

Laibachi did not give the Song army more time, and immediately ordered a hundred households to lead the army to charge.

Different from the steepness of Tongzhong Ridge, the Wuming Mountain located on the mountain road is only [-] feet long and not very dangerous. The Yuan soldiers quickly rushed into the range of the crossbows, and the two sides began to shoot at each other.

When he reached sixty steps, Zhou Kuan shouted: "Crossbow, fire in turn, pay attention to the thunder hand!"

Shhhhhhh~
The short spear shot out and pierced several Yuan soldiers in the front row on the spot, but the Yuan soldiers rushed up regardless of their own safety.

When they entered thirty steps, Yuan Bing planned to throw sky thunder, but was hit by a bed crossbow and died on the spot.

At this time, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty all stood up, and each took out their bows and crossbows to shoot at the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty.

Arrows rained down like rain. The Yuan soldiers' shields could only cover one side, and they had no heavy armor to protect themselves. More than a hundred people were shot over on the spot. The rest were shocked and immediately retreated back.

The Song army did not have sky thunder. Fortunately, the crossbows were simple to make, and they prepared many simple crossbows with enough arrows. They could shoot from a high position and achieve extraordinary feats.

Lai Aba's seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he shouted: "Come on, charge forward. How can a stragglers block the way?"

The elite divisions of the Song Dynasty were all vulnerable to a single blow, but now they are still unable to defeat the brave warriors of the country with their elites?Lai Abachi doesn’t believe in this evil.

However, after the second wave of Yuan soldiers left more than a hundred corpses, they retreated hastily.

A fierce battle was going on in this mountain road, but in Hengshan Mountain, Ali Hague and others were waiting for dark.

Thinking that the horse infantry was not as fast as the navy, Jia Juzhen suggested hiding in Mount Heng to build rafts and cross the river when the Song army relaxed.

In a few days, more than a hundred wooden rafts were built. Although they were not very strong, they were enough for crossing the river.

After nightfall, Ali Hague led the army to carry the raft to the edge of the Xiangjiang River. After the Song army's sentinel boat was far away, he immediately put down the raft and led their horses back.

As he was crossing the river on a wooden raft in fear, Ali Hague put his hand on his forehead and said: "It all depends on Pingzhang's plan, otherwise he will die without a burial place!"

"Destiny is in the Yuan Dynasty, so we are safe and sound." Jia Juzhen said modestly: "We set out overnight, hoping to get rid of the Song army's siege."

"Don't worry Pingzhang, the schedule will not be delayed due to lack of military discipline." Ali Hague said.

By joining the Abachi Butu Village, he might not be able to seize the exit earlier, but in order to boost his morale, he chose to indulge.Jia Juzhen was worried that Ali Hague would adopt the same method. It was not that he was reluctant to leave the people, and he might never come back again. It didn't matter if he slaughtered villages and cities, but he couldn't afford to waste time.

The Song army was too fast and caught the Yuan army by surprise. However, the defenses in various places were empty. If they didn't take this opportunity to escape, they might not be able to escape.

So, a group of more than a thousand people got on their horses and all headed west.

There were originally four to five thousand soldiers, but the infantry could not keep up with the speed and all fell behind. The cavalry also dispersed a lot, leaving only this much.

The fewer people there are, the faster the speed, which is not a pity for Ali Hague.

When we left Hengshan at dawn, a rather large village appeared in our field of vision, with approximately two hundred households.

Ali Hague asked: "Pingzhang, the army has been short of food for many days. Can you raise some food and grass?"

"As it should be." Jia Juzhen replied.

Ali Hague ordered: "Surround this village and make it offer a hundred stones of grain. If one pound is missing, the village will be slaughtered!"

The Yuan soldiers were ordered to roar and surround the village.

The villagers were alarmed and recommended the chief security officer to ask questions.

The security guard was so frightened that he trembled, but he didn't dare not to come. He bowed and said, "General, you guys are all good people. They have never committed any crime."

"The army is passing through the border. You will donate one hundred dan of food for us. If there is a shortage, the whole village will be killed!" Ali Hague said fiercely.

"General, the prince has ordered that miscellaneous taxes be exempted. At this time, there are no jobs available, and there is no one in the village..."

Before Bao Zhang could finish his sentence, Ali Hague rode forward and stabbed Bao Zhang to the ground with a single shot.

Ali Hague drew his gun and shouted: "The military situation is urgent. If there is no food and grass for an hour, everyone will be killed without mercy!"

The villagers were frightened and immediately went home to raise food and grass. Even the stingiest people gave out a lot of food for fear of being massacred.

After the food was obtained, Ali Hague also collected pots and started cooking on the spot. After a hearty meal, the whole army set off immediately.

With little information, the people only scolded the Mongolian soldiers for not treating the southerners as human beings, but they did not know that most of Hunan had fallen into the hands of the Song army.

Zhenjin knew this very well. As long as the Song army sent a large army... no, no large army was needed, as long as a messenger was sent, the flags in various places would be changed immediately, and there would never be resisters like Li Fu.

After all, as an invader, Yuanting has yet to win over people's hearts.

"Everyone, we have rested in Chenzhou for two days, where are we going next?" Zhenjin asked.

"I thought that the people of Chenzhou should be moved to Sichuan for a long-term plan!" Tumuge'er said.

"How can I come back after being so devastated?" Zhen Jin still has delusions.

"Your Highness thinks that Master Wang may return in the short term?" Tumuge'er directly exposed Zhenjin's naivety.

Even if Yuanting develops artillery in the short term, it will not be possible to return to Hunan until ten or eight years.

“In the future, Sichuan and Shu will be the key to going down the river, but after years of fighting, the place is broken, and if we want to recover, population is the key.

Moreover, if one thing disappears and the other increases, if one hundred thousand people of Chenzhou are moved away, the Song Dynasty will become a little weaker, which will be of great benefit in the future.

If possible, Fangzhou, Guizhou and other places will be relocated. " Suo Yuandai said.

"That's all, you are presiding over this matter. You just need to be more considerate of the people and don't harm them." Zhenjin's enthusiasm waned.

Don't blame him for feeling bored, it's his first time out of town and he behaves like shit. It really stinks.

　It was disconnected on the first day of April, which is not a good sign. Please forgive me.
