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

Chapter 356
It's nearly March, with continuous spring rain. This is a good time for spring plowing, but thousands of miles away in fertile fields, farmers are nowhere to be seen.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the Song army will arrive soon, dig trenches to save your life."

"Remember, when the cannon comes, it's safest to hold your head and hide underneath."

"Don't be lazy, this is about my life."

Outside the city walls of Chengdu, more than [-] yuan soldiers and [-] civilians were busy like ants.

Under the mandatory order of Timur Buhua, the outside of Chengdu has changed drastically.

There are ravines and fortresses everywhere.

Even if the Song army had powerful weapons, it would be difficult for them to invade the city in a short time.

In fact, it is not cost-effective to defend Chengdu. After all, there is no dangerous route in Chengdu in the west, but it has to be defended.

Chengdu fell and the Kingdom of Tianfu changed hands. Even if they could occupy a dangerous position, they would just wait to die slowly. Moreover, they would have to buy time for the construction of the Hanzhong defense line.

Moreover, Timur did not stick to Chengdu if he did not spend money. He learned from what the Song Dynasty had done and built a large number of mountain cities, intending to rely on the terrain to launch a long-term confrontation.

That is to say, the Song army encountered bad weather and had to stop, otherwise the Yuan army would not have time to build fortifications.

In Luoyang City, Hada looked at the encirclement outside the city with despair on his face.

"Marshal, the food and grass in the city will be exhausted, and reinforcements from outside the city will be difficult to arrive. Make plans early." Zhang Wenqian said.

"Now that things have come to a point, we have to break out of the encirclement with the whole army, and only one can escape one by one." Hada said.

In fact, he could surrender, but Hada was unwilling to do so.

Just when Hada was about to summon the generals to discuss the breakout, the Song army outside the city launched another attack.

tom~
huh~
Boom~
The city was immediately covered in flames, with broken limbs and broken arms mixed with rubble and broken bricks flying everywhere.

"What is this?" Hada was shocked.

Artillery is not surprising, but the large-scale use of explosive shells exceeded Hada's expectations.

In fact, Yuanting Ordnance Supervisor has been experimenting with explosive ammunition. The main idea is to fill the hollow iron ball with gunpowder and leave a hole to draw the fuse.

It works, but it's very difficult to use.

The high temperature of the propellant can easily ignite the fuse in advance. The few that are fired cannot accurately control the detonation time, so they are not equipped.

The Song Army was different. The shells roared into the air with a crisp pop-pop-pop sound, and exploded when they landed, causing people to flip over.

Outside the city, Yang Zhenlong looked at the smoke-filled city wall, waved his hand, and the entire army launched a charge.

"Go, go immediately, notify the Chinese army to break out from the west!" Hada looked ugly.

The order was conveyed, and the reserve force of more than [-] Chinese soldiers abandoned their baggage and rushed to the west of the city with only three days of dry food.

The Song army's obstruction was not resolute. Together with the 5000 yuan soldiers originally stationed in the west of the city, Hada led his troops and rushed out smoothly.

The Yellow River has thawed, and no ship can cross it. The only way to go to Guanzhong is via the Han Valley Road.

Just before the crossing, Hada suffered a powerful sniper attack.

In order to rescue Hada, the Yuan army stationed at Hangu Road kept attacking, but they were also unable to break through the Song army's blockade.

As Yang Zhenlong led the main force to pursue him, Hada was attacked on both sides and his army collapsed. Under the cover of several personal guards, he took advantage of the night to sneak into the vast mountains.

Just when the dust of the Luoyang war had settled, the Hanoi battlefield was still filled with the sound of artillery.

In order to open up the road to rescue Ha Da, tens of thousands of yuan troops launched attacks on Hanoi City again and again like a tide.

At this moment, a group of five thousand Song troops approached the battlefield from the east.

"There are only 5000 people, why should we be afraid!" The commander of the Yuan army, Oruo Luosi, snorted coldly: "Stop the attack on the city, mobilize all the ministries, and eat this Song army!"

At the age of 38, it was the time when he was most passionate about his achievements. He was full of confidence in leading the army to regain Hanoi. However, after encountering a problem under the city, Oruo Si turned his anger on the reinforcements of the Song Army.

The order was conveyed, and the Yuan army immediately turned their guns.

Upon seeing this, the Song army stopped on the spot and set up a formation of vehicles to guard against the attack of the horse army. The spearmen lined up behind them and the artillerymen hurriedly set up their cannons.While the Yuan soldiers were busy turning their guns, the Song army opened fire first.

tom~
A crisp sound and a sharp whistling sound penetrated the sky and exploded near the Yuan army's cannon.

Although it failed to overturn the cannon, it blew up more than a dozen Yuan soldiers nearby.

"The new cannon is so powerful?" Wo Luosi was shocked.

He had received a letter from the court and knew that the Song Army had a new type of artillery. However, he still couldn't believe it when he saw it with his own eyes.

Just when he was thinking about how to respond, the screams suddenly became intensive, and the Yuan army's cannons were all enveloped in smoke and fire.

"Withdraw, withdraw~" Orosi said tremblingly.

The Yuan soldiers had already panicked, especially the artillerymen who had been hit hard. Those who could still move were running away with their heads in their arms.

"Okay!" Li Xiang cheered and said: "Send the order, all ministries are preparing to counterattack, kill him to pieces!"

"Brothers, prepare to fight back."

"Get out of the city!"

The Song army generals shouted and expressed their feelings.

The Yuan army was hit hard, and the Song army defending the city was actually very aggrieved. They had to ensure that the city was not lost, and they also had to prevent the Yuan army from building a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River. They paid a high price.

But before Li Xiang could lead his troops out of the city, the Song army's artillery fire outside the city had already begun to spread.

Where the fire was shining, Yuan Bing cried for his father and mother, running around wildly. No matter how much Orosi shouted, it was in vain.

Hanoi is about to embark on a pleasant journey to chase down the defeated troops, while outside the Lujian stronghold in Shangdu, the black cavalry are clashing with each other.

Around the battlefield, countless bodies of men and horses were scattered, as well as discarded swords, guns and flags.

The two sides have been entangled for a long time, and neither of them had time to reload their muskets. The fighting method returned to the most primitive swords and guns.

Zhang Wangbeiping raised his iron spear and stabbed Yu Wa Shi who was facing him. Yu Wa Shi pushed away the iron spear, and the two of them passed each other, killing the enemy soldiers.

Men and horses collided, swords and guns were used, and screams continued.

Tens of thousands of cavalry collided, and even if they didn't die, as long as they fell off their horses, they would most likely be trampled to pieces by the horses' hooves.

In the distance, Yuxi Timur hung his arms, holding a telescope with one arm and looking at the battlefield, with an ugly expression on his face.

After learning how to ride a horse and shoot, he thought he could fight the Song army head-on, only to realize that was not the case at all.

Finally, [-] lancers were used to replace [-] Song troops and the bullets in their guns, thinking that they could win the battle with swords and guns. However, Yuxi Timur discovered that this was still not the case.

The losses of both sides were about the same.

If the fight continues like this, the goal of intercepting the Song army outside the Great Wall will never be achieved.

There were many soldiers in Song Dynasty.

Xie Xianwen went to various ministries and gathered most of Naiyan's tribe, which now numbered [-]. However, the Yuan army gathered a small Naiyan tribe, which was only more than [-].

Casualties are secondary, the main reason is that morale cannot be damaged.

At the beginning, the embarrassing exit from the Naiyan Palace tent had already caused a wave of injuries, and then another wave of injuries was caused by avoiding the pursuit. Now it is another wave of confrontation and not taking advantage of it.

When the two sides separated, the Yuan soldiers were mostly fearful and their eyes were wandering. On the other hand, the Song army mostly stared at the Yuan army.

"Withdraw~" Yuxi Timur uttered one word.

The desolate horn sounded, and the Yuan soldiers were relieved and immediately came to the rescue.He turned his horse's head and ran wildly into the distance.

"Chase!" Zhang Wangbei ordered.

For so many years, the Song army in the north has been one man and two horses, and it is completely capable of holding on to the Yuan soldiers.
