Chapter 303 The Battle of Jinan
It was a dark night and the wind was high, and the spring was cold. Jinan's west gate quietly opened, and Shi Mobulao led a thousand elites out.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhudu personally led [-] troops out of the city as a response.

The robbery of the camp failed, and an army of [-] covered Shi Mobulao's retreat. It succeeded. Of course, he took advantage of the situation and attacked and defeated the Song army in one fell swoop.

After half a circle, Shi Mobulao touched the front of the Song Army's camp.

There was a brazier in front of the village wall, and there were not many Song soldiers on duty walking around the wall.

After quietly watching for a moment, Shi Mobulao felt something was wrong.

It came so smoothly, and there were too few troops on the wall. Even if Zhang Shijie underestimated the enemy, the generals below did not dare to reduce the number of guards.

The Song Army's military discipline was notoriously strict, and even the Yuan Army had heard of the ferocious power of its Military Law Corps. Under such circumstances, who would dare to make a mistake?

The deputy general came closer, took off the copper coins from his mouth, and asked in a low voice: "General, do you want to do this?"

Shi Mobulao was not a reckless man after all. After hesitating for a moment, he uttered one word: "Withdraw."

The deputy general didn't say much. He immediately turned around and signaled to return to the city.

It was silent when it came, and it was silent when it left, but just a mile after exiting, only a scream was heard.

"No, caltrops!"

"There is a Song army blocking the road, so we fell into a trap."

"Be careful of pitfalls."

Shi Mobulao rushed to the front immediately, only to see shadowy figures swaying, and he didn't know how many Song troops there were.

"Change to Route [-]!" Boss Shi Mobu shouted, got on his horse, and said: "Send a signal and tell the marshal that the Song Army has an ambush."

咻咻 咻 ~
Three groups of fireworks took off at the same time, and then exploded into red, yellow and green flowers.

Everyone saw it and said bitterly: "Zhang Shijie is indeed treacherous!"

"Marshal, how should we respond?" Wan Huerjili, who led the troops, asked.

"Change the direction and be sure to take Shi Mobulao back to the city." Zhu Du shouted sharply.

Qi returned to Qi, but Zaodu didn't think that Shi Mo would never come back because he was immortal. There was no dangerous and dangerous road outside the city. At worst, he would just have to travel ten or twenty miles more.

Just as he turned around, he heard gunshots ringing out as densely as fried beans.

Screams broke out over and over again, and before he could react, the second round of gunshots rang out again.

"No, the marshal has been ambushed!" Zhang Hongfan exclaimed.

Because they were worried, he and Oruch waited for news at the top of the city. The place where the gunfire came was from Sakon.

"Come here!" Oruch shouted: "Gather our troops and go out of the city to pick up the marshal back to the city."

"The chaos in the dark night is too dangerous, so the king cannot leave the city." Zhang Hongfan said.

Oruchi was eager to make meritorious deeds, but he knew that Zhang Hongfan was right.

Zhuo Du and Shi Mobulao are both good generals, but if he dies or is captured, it won't be a big problem. If he is captured, Jinan City will not be able to defend it.

"Hanu!" Oruchi shouted: "Lead the troops out of the city and be sure to help the marshal return to the city."

Hanu is the commander of his bodyguards, and is also in charge of the army in Jinan. There are 8000 people in his headquarters, which is absolutely elite.

Hanu took the order and led the army out of the west gate. Before they had gone two miles, they heard a loud bang coming from behind the team.

Hanu looked back and saw that there were still flames remaining where the explosion occurred, and there were more than a dozen Yuan soldiers lying around.

"We didn't see any fire, so..." Hanu suddenly realized that the Song army had used the sky thunder that did not need to be ignited, and shouted: "Tell the king that our troops are blocked, please send troops to go through the east gate."

There was also an ambush at the east gate, but Oruchi became cruel and ordered five thousand soldiers to bring out guns.

For a time, both sides fought in a massacre.Oruchi heard the sound and became more and more panicked. He couldn't help but ask: "Warlord, are you going to send more reinforcements?"

"No." Zhang Hongfan said, "Instruct all ministries to be careful to prevent the Song army from sneaking into the city."

"The marshal and deputy marshals are outside, as well as my own army and [-] troops. How can we give up?" Oruchi was anxious.

The general and [-]% of the soldiers were gone on the first night, so there was no need to defend the city.

Morale will collapse and cannot be maintained.

Zhang Hongfan said: "Send a signal and all troops will return to the city on their own. The night is long and it is impossible for the Song army to completely encircle them. Most of them can return to the city."

Oruchi was flustered and chose to believe Zhang Hongfan.

When the signal was given, the first one to retreat was Hanu, who only lost more than a hundred soldiers, which was equivalent to no damage. Then came back Shi Mobulao, who only injured two people.

Finally, the 5000 troops from Zhudu came back one after another. Finding that the situation was not good, Zhudu divided the army into ten groups and each chose a direction to break out. As expected, the Song army could not intercept them all, and only half, more than [-], were left.

Fortunately, at dawn, Zhudu returned to the city safely.

"Straight bitch, Zhang Manzi is so treacherous that he specializes in attacking the rear army!" The instigator was very depressed.

Judging from the casualties, the Song army did not take Shi Mobuliao's thousand soldiers seriously at all, and their main goal was to instigate the capital's rear army.

Zhang Hongfan shook his head and said: "Zhang Shijie is not so sophisticated. There must be powerful people under his command."

"How can you see it?" Shi Mobulao felt dissatisfied, but still wanted to ask what happened.

"How could it be Zhang Shijie's handiwork when he robbed the camp troops and attacked the rear army, and also sent the ambush troops outside the city without being discovered?" Zhang Hongfan asked in return.

Chaodu has also played against Zhang Shijie. Generally speaking, Zhang Shijie's style is upfront, rarely using tricks, and occasionally using them very crudely. Last night's style of play was indeed not like Zhang Shijie's style.

Little did they know that Zhang Shijie did not have such an outstanding figure under his command, but a group of outstanding staff officers.

It was the design of the staff group that caused Sodu to suffer a heavy loss.

"It is useless to talk about the matter at this point. You will gain wisdom from every experience. Now it is better to stop distracting thoughts and concentrate on defending the city." Oruch said.

After all, it was a disastrous defeat. No one could say much. They just put the matter aside and began to mobilize troops and generals to prepare for the Song army's attack.

Generally speaking, the Song army did not have the habit of attacking the city despite artillery bombardment. They first dug trenches until they dug into the Yuan army's trenches, and then used musketeers and mines to resolve the battle.

This time was no exception. After half a month of digging, more than ten trenches were about to penetrate the outer trenches of the Yuan army.

Just when Oruch and others thought the war was about to begin, the Song army stopped.

Dirt, dirt, dirt.

In two days, the instigator saw the whole story: "The Song army is going to build a mountain of earth and bombard Jinan City from a high position!"

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Hongfan said: "There is no risk of water accumulation in the city. We only let the soldiers enter the trenches. It doesn't matter if the Song army is condescending.

Moreover, it is too slow to pile soil into a mountain, and Zhang Shijie may not be able to outlast our army. "

It is not uncommon to pile earth into mountains. There have been examples of wars from ancient times to the present, but overall they are still very few.

Too time consuming.

Time is money. If the war lasts for one more day, the food will cost thousands more dan, which is really not something we can afford.

But you can't just watch, because this is an upright and overwhelming force.

Not to mention the condescending bombardment, let's just say that the Song army directly pushed the mountain of earth in front of the city wall, so there was no need to defend.

Therefore, the Yuan army bombarded with artillery, supplemented by sending troops to attack and destroy at night, but it also destroyed three mountains.
