Chapter 223 Raid
In the quiet night, there was only the sound of the cold wind. In the military camp, whether it was grinding one's teeth and farting, one could clearly hear it.

Compared with the wild, the military camps in the city are equipped with stoves, so even the Cantonese soldiers will not feel cold.

There were no such good conditions on the top of the city, and the Song soldiers patrolling the city were shivering from the cold.

When northerners go to the south and feel cold, it is because it is too humid. But when southerners go to the north, it is really cold.

Unknowingly, in the middle of the night, when the patrolling army changed shifts, Li Sanlang climbed up the city wall with a hutch.

Now, he is already the commander, with five hundred brothers in charge, and he is full of authority.

Outside the city, Hu Duhu and Wu Maer looked at the city, both frowning.

Although Wu Ma'er was not idle after his release, he was placed in the second-line area of ​​Mizhou, almost idle. However, he did not expect the Song Army to suddenly land, and Mizhou suddenly became the front line.

He wanted to lead a counterattack, but there were not enough troops under his command, so Wu Maer had to ask for help from Hu Duhu in Haizhou.

When it came to the safety of his chrysanthemum, Hu Duhu did not hesitate and personally led [-] troops to return for reinforcements.

Originally, they wanted to defend Mizhou to block the Song Army's westward advance, but the two of them combined, and there was a high probability that the [-] soldiers would not be able to stop the Song Army.

Go and don't want to go.

Wu Ma'er has a profound background, but when it's time to wash away his shame, how can he run away in desperation?But suddenly Duhu wanted to make a great contribution by expelling the Song army.

After getting the news that Zhang Shijie was approaching Mizhou, the two of them made some plans and decided to have a black tiger take out the heart and raid the Song Army's lair.

Therefore, the two men joined forces with five thousand soldiers and sneaked to the outside of Jiaoxi County in a detour.

It has to be said that as the main army, the Yuan army was indeed familiar with the geography of Shandong, and the Song army did not notice any abnormalities.

While the two of them were watching, Yuan Bing behind him was eating dry food to regain his strength, which lasted only a quarter of an hour.

It was freezing cold, and staying outside for too long would consume a lot of energy, so the soldiers devoured their food and immediately headed toward the city wall under the cover of darkness.

Of course, there were soldiers patrolling the city, but the range of the torches and braziers was not wide, and the soldiers could not see too far.

At thirty steps, further forward was the area covered by fire. The crossbowmen aimed at the soldiers coming and going at the top of the city and quickly let go.

huh~
Arrows shot out, and screams were heard immediately.

"Enemy attack~"

clang clang ~
The rapid sound of the gong sounded, and all the Song troops jumped up and rushed out of the tower and turret.

Yuan Bing rushed forward quickly without any hesitation, only to hear screams from the formation.

The Song army did not have time to dig a trench, but the more small pits they dug, the more likely they would be broken if they kicked in.

Yuan Bing showed no signs of slowness and quickly rushed to the city wall. Two of them raised their hands and one stepped on them, grabbing the top of the wall with their hands and climbing up.

Under Yuanting's rule, all the city walls except for critical areas were demolished. After all, what they were good at was cavalry, and they were most annoyed by city walls.

Because Jiaoxi is located along the coast and has a port, it was not demolished, but it collapsed due to disrepair over time. Later, it was renovated to prepare for the Song army's cross-sea attack, but it was not very high.

The Song army arrived not long ago and did not have time to reinforce and raise the height, making it easier for the Yuan soldiers to climb.

In an instant, hundreds of yuan soldiers rushed up the city wall and immediately rushed to both sides.

"It's settled!" Wu Ma'er looked happy.

"After we capture the city, burn the baggage and then retreat, lest the Song army's ships and cannons attack." Hu Duhu said.

"With the logistics cut off, the Song army can only withdraw. Shandong has turned the corner into peace!" Wu Ma'er said with a smile.

According to common sense, if the city wall is captured, the morale of the defenders will inevitably drop sharply, and the attackers can easily occupy the entire city.Bang bang bang~
In the flickering light of the fire, countless blood flowers bloomed among the Yuan soldiers.

Just as the Sky Thunder players were about to invest, they were met with a burst of gunfire. None of them succeeded in taking action. Some even ignited the Sky Thunder and were knocked to the ground. The Sky Thunder cleared the surrounding Yuan soldiers.

"No, the Song Army is treacherous, so we were on guard!" Wu Ma'er was startled, punched his thigh with a fist, and shouted bitterly.

"No, if we are prepared, it will be difficult for our army to ascend the city. Charge, the whole army will charge forward!" Hu Duhu had the opposite view.

Because there were not many Song soldiers patrolling the city, they were only on guard, and there were also not many musketeers coming out of the city gate tower and turrets.

There were indeed not many. There were 32 musketeers in one building, 32 on each side, and [-] were divided into four rows. They took turns firing to suppress the city wall. The gunfire was not dense enough, but it was continuous.

The other sixteen are to cooperate with the elite shooters to suppress the thunder hand, because the thunder hand cannot be separated from the torch and is easily discovered, so the musketeers can calmly aim and fire.

"kill~"

"Rush over!"

"Kill!"

The Yuan soldiers were brave enough to charge towards the musketeers, but they were always knocked down ten steps away.

The city wall is not wide, four people abreast is the limit, and it is straight and wide. With a face-to-face output of more than ten steps, no matter how bad the accuracy of the musket is, it is impossible to miss.

At this time, some Yuan soldiers reacted and planned to jump off the city wall. It was only a person's height, and if he was not careful, he would end up with broken bones and muscles.

The man who had landed safely had just stood up when he saw a cold light piercing his face. The Song army had already arrived and surrounded and killed the Yuan soldiers under the city wall.

The first battalion of the Japanese army was an elite army trained for three years. Every soldier was at the top level when released. No matter how powerful the Yuan soldiers were, but they fought independently without a formation, they really couldn't resist.

There was no place to stay at the top of the city, and the city was also in danger. Just as Yuan Bing gritted his teeth and insisted, there were two "swooshes", and fireworks jumped into the air and exploded with a bang.

The yellow light shines, the sky and the earth are translucent, and the black Yuan soldiers are exposed at the same time.

Fireworks, a powerful tool for transmitting signals, are also an artifact for wide-area lighting at night. Although the duration is short, it is enough for the artillery in the gate tower to adjust its angle.

Boom~
With a flash of fire, a seemingly overwhelming amount of iron sand was shot out, and countless screams immediately broke out.

huh~
Another firework was launched into the sky, and Wu Maer could see through the light of the fire that a large area of ​​the attacking Yuan army had been swept away. Before he could react, there was another bang and countless screams.

There are artillery at the city gate and on the second floor of the turret, which just forms the side firepower point. The iron sand loaded is really a magic weapon for the Qing Dynasty.

"Withdraw!" Wu Ma'er hammered her thighs bitterly, full of unwillingness.

"Retreat!" Hu Duhu's legs suddenly hurt, but his heartache couldn't be overcome.

I thought that if I came at night, I could retreat calmly even if I didn't succeed. After all, they were mostly horse soldiers, and they came and went like the wind.

But I don't want to charge down in one wave. There are not only one thousand but also eight hundred in history.

The horn sounded, and the Yuan soldiers immediately retreated like a tide.

The most important task of the Jiaoxi defenders was to ensure the safety of the city. Because the [-]-strong army had all their food, clothing, housing and transportation pointed here, they did not pursue them, and did not even rush to clean the battlefield, allowing the Yuan army to withdraw.

Of course, it is necessary to send out fast horses to report the news to Zhang Shijie, but more than ten horses will not affect the strength of the city.

Hearing that the sound of fighting stopped completely, the people in the city breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh that the Song Army was really powerful.

Just listening to the sound, you can find that Song Jun's reaction is really fast, and his combat effectiveness is really strong.

But they didn't know how much effort, money and food the Emperor of Song Dynasty spent on cultivating such a team.
