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

Chapter 232 Pulling
On the tenth day of March, the sun was shining, cloudless, and the sea was calm.

Off the coast of Haizhou (Lianyungang), there is Cangwu Mountain on Yuzhou Island, and a watchtower is set up on the top of the mountain.

The Yuan soldiers on duty on the tower glanced at the sea from time to time, as if they were waiting for something.

That is of course the Song Army Navy.

Ever since the Song army crossed the sea and occupied Jiaoxi, people all along the coast were in panic, fearing that the Song army would suddenly appear.

Haizhou is close to the sea, so a sentry post was set up on Cangwu Mountain.

Suddenly, several black spots appeared in the distance.

"The Song Army is coming~ Hurry up, Wolf Smoke!" the soldiers shouted wildly.

"Calm down, that's a seabird, you stupid bird!" the card leader yelled angrily.

If the wolf smoke was lit in panic, the Shangguan would have to come and chop off a few heads.

"Head...head..." The soldier looked behind him, his teeth chattering up and down.

The card head turned around and saw countless black spots on the sea, heading towards Haizhou.

"Song Jun~ light up the wolf smoke~" the head of the card screamed.

After a while, the wolf smoke shot straight into the sky, and it was clearly visible in Haizhou City.

"Song Jun is coming~"

"Hide quickly, hide~"

"Close the windows, come and help block them..."

The people went home in panic and hid themselves.

These are all things that cannot be left. Anyone who can find a way will either fly away or scatter in the countryside, and will never stay in the city.

The so-called small chaos enters the city and the big chaos goes to the countryside. The city is always a must-attack target, and the people in the city are gathered in one place. When the rebels are looting, they can't escape even if they want to. It is the most dangerous thing.

However, the people were panicked, but no soldiers were seen boarding the city.

After a moment, a plume of wolf smoke rose from the hills outside the city, and then the more than a hundred soldiers on duty abandoned their camp and headed west.

The Yuan army in Haizhou has run away, they are the last one.

When the Song army docked, dozens of local-born officials came to surrender.

"Do you know where the Tartars are going?" Chen Wei, the forward commander, asked.

"General, because Haizhou is close to the sea and it is inconvenient to defend, Yuanlu abandoned the city and gathered troops in Pizhou." Tian Youlong, the leader, said.

"Pizhou..." Chen Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Is Yuanlu planning to abandon the Huaihe River and stick to the Yellow River?"

"No one can know about such confidential matters." Tian Youlong replied.

"In that case, let's enter the city." Chen Wei did not embarrass Tian Youlong.

The city gate was opened, but the army did not rush into the city. Instead, they sent out an engineering battalion for inspection first.

The Song Army was the originator of landmines. They also planted gunpowder in the military camp to slay the Yuan Army, so they naturally had to take corresponding precautions.

The engineering battalion spread out to check whether mines were laid in key places such as city walls, city gates, streets, warehouses, and military camps. After confirming safety, the army entered the city.

The five thousand troops in the vanguard had just settled down and came to report on their horses. There were Yuan cavalry spying outside the city.

"Want to attack with a cavalry army?" Chen Wei sneered and ordered to guard the city until the army gathered.

The rear troops came from the sea one after another, and by the time they reached the age of [-], [-] troops had gathered in Haizhou.

Just when Chen Wei was reorganizing his troops to prepare for battle, Jiang Cai led 4 people out of Lianshui and headed towards Shuyang.

The army was fully prepared, but despite Yuan Qi's prying eyes, they were not ambushed or attacked. When the army arrived, they found that Shuyang was empty.

After a short rest, the army rushed to Pizhou to kill.

There were fifty thousand troops, three thousand musketeers, six thousand horsemen, fifteen thousand infantry, and the rest were all heavy troops.At this time, it was a battle in enemy territory. Basically, each soldier had to be equipped with a civilian husband, and the required baggage also doubled.

Maybe this is Yuan Lu's strategy.

Lengthen the front line, increase consumption, and at the same time wait for the Song army to have a weakness and use the cavalry army to make a surprise attack.

Because the Song army was heavily guarded, the Yuan army had no chance, so they did not take action.

On the eighth day of April, the Song army arrived at Qingshuidu.

Qingshui Ferry is an important crossing of Yishui River, so the people gathered into the town. However, at this time, both the people and the boats were gathered together by the Yuan army and were almost destroyed.

It doesn't matter, the navy is here.

The Yellow River changed its course and the Yishui River was connected. Guan Da's naval division went up the Yellow River and then entered the Yishui River. After joining Jiang Cai's troops, they covered the army and built a pontoon bridge.

On the other side, the leader of the Yuan army, Yi Hei Mi Mi, held up his telescope and looked at it for a while, and said bitterly: "I wanted to attack halfway across the river, but I didn't want the gunboats to help me. How shameful!"

"It was expected, so there is no need for Pingzhang to be upset." Lieutenant General Gao Mieliqian advised.

Yihei Lost is the political official of Pingzhang and the Minister of the Ministry of War of Henan Jiangbei Province in Yuanting. He is the first and second leader of the Pizhou Defense Area.

Gao Meiliqian was originally a guard of Kublai Khan. His father, Gao Yuanchang, had both legs disabled. Although he was lucky enough to return to the north, he had to retire. Gao Meiliqian took advantage of his father's position and recruited envoys for Pizhou. Now his assistant is also black. Lost.

According to the plan, they were to hold on to Pizhou and create opportunities for other troops. However, Yi Hei lost his mind and felt that the spirit of the Song army should be dampened, so he led his troops out of the city and wanted to fight on the banks of the Yishui River.

It was just the black muzzle that made Yihei lost his mind to act rashly.

"Send the order, withdraw the troops and return to the camp." Yi Hei lost his mind very reluctantly, but he had no choice but to do so.

When the army returned to the city, Yi Hei lost and frowned, saying: "Although there are many trenches dug in the city, it is difficult for a big city like Xiangyang to last, so what can a small Pizhou do?"

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the soil. As long as we are not afraid of life and death, we can naturally stop the Song army." Gao Meiliqian said.

"I'm not afraid of death. It's just that if I lose my city, I won't have a face even if I die." Yi Hei lost his mind and said.

Gao Mieli remained silent.

The Song army's guns and artillery were powerful, and everyone in the Yuan army knew it, especially Gao Miiligan's father who broke his leg as a warning.

When Yi Hei lost his troops and returned to the city, there was good news - Yuanting sent ten cannons.

"Quick, take me to see it!" Yihei lost his mind and ran over impatiently.

The dark sound of cannons and the cold feeling made Yihei feel lost and intoxicated.

After touching it as if caressing a lover for a long time, Yihei lost his mind and said: "With such a sharp weapon, what should the Song army be afraid of?"

"Pingzhang, the top priority is to place the artillery." Gao Mierigan said.

"What's your advice?" Yihei lost his mind and asked.

Gao Miiligan thought for a moment and said: "The artillery is heavy and difficult to transport. I thought the Song army must have used gunboats to attack the city, or they could have been stationed on the south wall.

However, other directions must be defended. Five gates can be set up in the south city, and forts can be set up on the other walls. The other five gates are in the center, ready to respond at any time. "

"What you said makes sense, so let's handle it like this." Yihei lost his mind and followed the advice like a stream.

The cannons sent by Yuanting were the same as those captured by the Song army. Not to mention their power, they were heavy enough. If you want to quickly climb the city, you must prepare the road.

Therefore, Gao Meiligan mobilized civilians to build wooden ladder ramps inside each city wall for artillery carriages to board the city.

As for the operation, it is not something Yihei Lost can interfere with.

Although Yi Hei Mi is a Mongolian and Gao Meili Gan is a straight woman, they have no command authority.

Just like the early days of Tianlei, Kublai Khan set up the Artillery Marshal's Office, which was responsible for the transportation and dispatch of artillery, gunner training and management, etc.

The accompanying gunner will obey Yiheimi's combat orders, but will not obey transfer orders. If the gunner Qianhu finds that the situation is critical, he may even leave without saying goodbye.

Yihei Lost didn't mind this at all.

If the war was not serious, Yuanting would not send artillery south. Now that artillery is available to help, what is there to complain about?
