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

Chapter 237 Had to retreat
Boom~
There was a loud noise underground, and a group of Song soldiers nearby were all knocked to the ground. Only the musketeers in the rear were far away and were not affected.

"kill~"

Dozens of soldiers rushed over with shouts and shouts. The musketeer raised his hand and shot one person, then immediately crouched down and drew the gun.

A bayonet was added in front of the musket to deal with the situation at hand.

bang~ bang~
Two gunshots rang out, and the two Yuan soldiers fell to the ground. The sword-and-shield spearman passed over the musketeer and blocked the front.

Sakon's team came to support.

At this time, the Yuan soldiers had just climbed over the trench and were fighting with the Song soldiers.

After the musketeers finished loading, they immediately opened fire and knocked down three Yuan soldiers. Upon seeing this, the Yuan soldiers stopped entangled and disappeared into the fortifications.

Relying on the familiar terrain and mines, the Yuan army firmly controlled half of the city and did not allow the Song army to control Pizhou as they wished.

The fight lasted until dark, and both sides turned to defense.

Although it was a defense, there were still explosions and shouts of killing in some areas. Both the Song and Yuan armies showed extraordinary fighting will.

In the middle of the night, a white light flashed in the sky, and thunder rolled in.

Bang, big raindrops fell, making a crackling sound in an instant.

Chen Wei rushed out of the fortification and took a look. Under the residual light of the candlelight, the rain was falling from the sky to the ground. In just a moment, water was already flowing from the ground into the ditch.

"Notify all armies to retreat in turn and retreat to the city wall to defend themselves." Chen Wei ordered.

"General, do you want to report to the deputy general manager for his decision?" the guard said.

"It's too late." Chen Wei said: "If you spend the night in the rain, you will be exposed to the wind and cold. If the heavy rain does not stop, the ditch will definitely be filled with water. How can we let the brothers soak in the water?"

The trench provides some protection, but it cannot block the rain. Even if there is a place to hide from the rain, it cannot prevent the rainwater from pouring back and gathering. When the time comes, the trench will really become a ditch, but it will no longer be a place for people to stay.

At this moment, a messenger rushed in and shouted: "Deputy Commander ordered the whole army to withdraw to the camp."

"We don't want the city wall?" Chen Wei then thought about it. The city wall is indeed not an important place anymore. If you don't want it, just don't want it.

Chen Wei and Jiang Cai reacted quickly, and Yi Hei Lost was also not slow. After the heavy rain had started for half an hour, he ordered the whole army to attack.

"It's raining heavily, and the Southern thieves' guns and artillery can't be used. It's time to compete with each other. Brothers, kill!"

"kill~"

Yihei lost his head in the lead, followed by more than [-] Yuan soldiers, charging towards the Song army's position with great momentum, but only saw the Song soldiers' backs disappearing in the rain curtain.

After all, they didn't dare to attack immediately and let Song Bing retreat calmly.

Chen Wei returned to the starting position and found that the artillery here had been transported away, and then chased back to the camp. The heavy rain stopped and turned into light rain.

There used to be several hills outside Pizhou City, which were about [-] to [-] feet tall. However, after the Yellow River changed its course, it often flooded and the silt accumulated. These mountains were only a few feet high. The army set up camp here, even if the Yellow River flooded again. If a major flood breaks out, there is no need to worry about catastrophe.

The water level of the Yellow River has not risen significantly at this time, but the waves are still very scary.

Outside Xuzhou City, more than two thousand large and small warships and more than five hundred wooden rafts untied their cables at the same time and ran wildly downstream along the river.

Liu Guojie was on the front boat, with Haerha accompanying him.

"Wanhu, I can take revenge no matter what this time." Haerha said. "It's been more than a year of preparation. If we can't get revenge, what's the point of living?" Liu Guojie said through gritted teeth, without even changing the name of Haerha.

Defeated again and again, he lost all face. If Yuanting had not had many generals in the navy, he would not have been able to retain the position of Qianhu.

From the Ganshui River to the Yangtze River, and then from the Yangtze River to the Huaihe River, now floating boats are on the Yellow River. If they retreat further, they can only go to the North Sea to play on sheepskin rafts.

Although Liu Guojie believed that he was equally strong in land warfare, he was unwilling to go to land with such an outcome.

In the rear, General Zhaoyi, Navy Wing Wanhufu Daru Huachi, and Yellow River Navy Chief Tuotuolitai Haoli said: "All the naval forces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are dispatched. If we cannot make achievements, the situation in Henan and Shandong will be critical."

"General, don't worry. The heavy rain this time means that the Song thieves can't use their guns and cannons. It all depends on their bravery. How can the Yuan warriors be inferior to the southerners?"

Today, we are going down the river, using the giant tree as a guide to break its formation. Each ship will take advantage of the situation and join forces to fight. We will win! "Zhang Yu said confidently.

"I hope the tactics will work." Haoli nodded and said.

After Zhang Yu, Liu Guojie and others led the remnant troops to Hanzhong, they found that the Hanzhong garrison was stationed in the mountains and had little to do with the navy, so they applied to the Yellow River to reorganize the navy.

It turned out that most of the Yellow River Navy had gone south, and the two of them assisted Haoli in building ships and training troops, and finally pulled out the Yellow River Navy.

Over the past year, the Yuan army has practiced back and forth, just to avoid the Song army's muzzle and jump gang after destroying the formation.

At dawn, we were halfway through the journey.

The sky was overcast, with heavy rain and light rain. The water level of the Yellow River rose rapidly, and all the farmland on the tidal flats on both sides was submerged.

In the turbid waves, Guan Da went down the river and took the navy to Suqian.

He had worked with Chen Baitiao for a long time during the Yangtze River water battle, so he naturally knew how the weak Song army defeated the strong in the Ganshui water battle.

Now he only has more than [-] large and small ships under his command, and most of the artillery has been moved to land. Of course, he will not stay in Pizhou to wait for a fight.

Anyway, Jiang Cai's troops have sufficient food and grass, so they will wait until the water situation stabilizes before fighting back. Not only himself, he has also asked for the Yangtze River Navy to assist in the battle, in order to completely destroy the Yuan Army's Yellow River Navy.

When Liu Guojie arrived outside Pizhou City, he saw that the original water village was empty, not to mention the boats, not even a single plank of wood.

"Come, go to the city and ask about the situation." Liu Guojie shouted angrily.

Haerha jumped on a boat and went to the city in person to inquire about the situation.

When they arrived in the city, they didn't see a single good house. Even Yihei lost his mind and could only hide in the dilapidated tower and shivered. The soldiers couldn't find a place to take shelter from the rain, which made it even worse.

After the Song army seized the city wall, they carried out a large-scale shelling of the city. Originally, it was fine to sleep in the open in May weather, but when it rained, they just stood there.The consequences are shown.

"General, this situation cannot last long. If the army breeds a plague, everything will cease. It is better to abandon Pizhou and go to Xuzhou to prepare for the war." Ha'erha persuaded.

"The road is muddy, how dare you abandon the city and leave?" Yihei lost his mind and said.

"The navy has arrived outside Pizhou City and can help the army move." Haerha gave his suggestion and asked about the whereabouts of the Song Army's navy.

"The river bank is so wide that it is difficult to navigate. He unloaded the artillery on the shore and was only responsible for transporting grain and grass. Now there is no trace. I am afraid he has retreated downstream." Yihei lost his way and said.

In all likelihood, this was the case. Haerha took Yihei and lost his way to see Liu Guojie. After the three of them discussed for a while, they decided to evacuate Pizhou when Haoli and Zhang Yu arrived.

In fact, this kind of weather is still very suitable for a decisive battle with the Song army. However, many soldiers have typhoid fever, so they have to retreat to avoid the breeding of plague.
