The thief has retreated! ”

"The thief has retreated!"

Above and below the city, a tidal wave of cheers sounded.

This battle was not easy to fight, and even many people thought that they would not be able to hold the outer city wall. And they will die here forever.

Because the Yuan army had 40,000 people, and countless gaps were broken, there was really a great hope of breaking the city. No, it can't even be said to be possible, but it is bound to be able to break the city.

At this time, the Yuan army retreated, which was really a fluke for the Song soldiers and people in the city.

It was their indomitable fighting spirit that made the Deyuan army timid.

Let the soldiers of Deyuan dare not rush into the city desperately.

If it were not for this, it would be impossible for the Yuan army to retreat.

Only at the head of the city, Huang Hua and the others still had solemn faces.

Although the male city wall is temporarily defended, it is already full of holes. If you continue to fight like this, the outer city will eventually be broken.

What is even more worrying is that the east and west walls do not know if they can stop the Yuan army.

After all, at this time, at the east and west city walls, there were only about 2,000 guards, but the Yuan army had more than 20,000.

In particular, the soldiers who went to the west of the city led by Ah Shu personally may even exceed 30,000. Even if there is little, it will never go anywhere.

His army was outside Changle County and did not suffer much damage.

The people of the city did not speak. Most of the righteous people in the rivers and lakes are also gathered under this southern city wall, and at this time, they have to support the east and west city walls, and it is inevitable that some whips will be beyond their reach.

Gao Tianzong hurriedly ran to the head of the city with his injuries and asked Huang Huadao: "Pacify the envoy, should we immediately go to the east and west sides to help?" ”

Huang Hua looked at the bloody wound on his arm and sighed softly, "The soldiers have fought hard until now, do you still have the strength to continue fighting?" ”

Gao Tianzong lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

There is a limit to human physical strength.

Even though he now wanted to lead his army to the east and west to resist the Yuan army, he also understood that it would be difficult for the soldiers to continue fighting.

They have been fighting with the Yuan army for so long at the southern city wall, and it is not easy to be able to kill the Yuan army.

The armor, swords, and spears are made of iron. But the soldier's body is not iron-clad after all.

Even if he led the army past at this time, it would be difficult for the soldiers to regain their previous bravery.

Huang Hua looked back at the depths of the city, sighed deeply, and said, "Pass the order, let the soldiers retreat to the inner city!" ”

After all, he was going to abandon the outer city.

The people who attacked the city walls on the east and west sides were the new forces of the Yuan army, and the hope of holding the city wall was really slim.

Gao Tianzong hesitated a little, "Pacify the envoy, if you abandon the outer city, then ......"

Huang Hua muttered: "The home is gone, but it can still be rebuilt." But if the soldiers are gone, then the people of Fuzhou City will also be gone. Fuzhou City ...... will cease to exist. ”

Just as Ah Shu was unwilling to pay too much to capture this Changle County, Huang Hua actually didn't want the soldiers to die in vain on this outer city wall.

To the best he could, he had done. If you can't hold it, you can't hold it, and if you continue to hold on, you will only bury this Changle County in vain.

Those people who are unwilling to take refuge in the inner city temporarily, he has no way to continue to protect them.

As a pacifier, he must focus on the big picture.

And the overall situation at this time is the vast majority of the people of Changle County in the inner city.

Gao Tianzong heard Huang Hua's whispering, didn't say more, gritted his teeth, and finally ran away to pass the order.

At the head of the city, a green arrow rises into the air and explodes in the air.

The soldiers at the head of the city walked towards the bottom of the city.

There was such a cry, "Retreat to the inner city!" Retreat to the inner city! ”

Fuzhou soldiers and people from all over the country gathered on the two main streets and headed towards the inner city.

There were many soldiers carrying the corpses of their robes.

They were reluctant to leave the bodies of these brothers outside.

Revert to one 's origin.

If it were not a last resort, the Great Song soldiers would not leave any brothers. Even if it's a brother who has already died in battle.

The southern walls gradually emptied.

And at the east and west walls. The battle continues.

The two Yuan armies attacked the city together.

With neither city head thundering, it was only a matter of time before they broke the city.

The Great Song hot air balloons on the east and west city walls were only struggling to support opposite the Yuan army hot air balloons.

Zhi Yongshou, Kui Yinghao and others were in the city, their faces were solemn.

The dense Yuan army under the city and the continuous thunder explosions made them feel a heavy sense of oppression in their hearts.

In fact, no one thought that they could hold the east and west walls.

You must know that even the most well-defended southern city wall was almost broken by the Yuan army. With so many Yuan troops, it is not an easy existence to deal with.

With this amount of troops in Changle County, it is really better to defend the outer city than to defend the inner city.

So after seeing the green arrows in the air, Zhi Yongshou, Kui Yinghao and others did not hesitate.

They told the people of the city to withdraw first.

Then there are the people at the head of the city, and then there are the righteous people in the rivers and lakes.

It was not until the end that the soldiers of the Fuzhou garrison at the head of the city finally withdrew from the city.

It's quick to say, but the process actually lasts for two quarters of an hour.

The army is not something that can be withdrawn, especially when fighting.

If it weren't for the help of the people to carry ammunition, carry out the gun carts, etc., this time would have been much longer.

The Yuan army blew a gap in the city wall more than ten minutes ago.

On the east and west sides of the city wall, only the soldiers of the Fuzhou garrison can be seen fighting with the Yuan army.

It was not until the people and the righteous soldiers who carried out the throwing artillery carts and other ordnance gradually moved away that the generals of the Song army gave the order to abandon the city wall and retreat to the inner city.

Inside the city walls on the east and west sides. The officers and men of the Fuzhou garrison all fought and retreated.

They never gave up their resistance completely because of the retreat, because they still had to buy time for the people to enter the inner city.

And this kind of fighting and retreating is inevitable, so that many Fuzhou soldiers can no longer return to the inner city.

Of course, if not, there seems to be no other way.

If they retreat, the Yuan army will advance, this is an inevitable thing. If you retreat in a hurry, the loss may be greater than if you retreat while fighting.

Unless the Yuan army had not yet broken the city, the soldiers quickly withdrew to the city. Only in this way, those ordnances, I am afraid that they will have to be left to the Yuan army. Civilians will also suffer heavy casualties.

The soldiers of Fuzhou can now ignore the people who are stubborn in the outer city, but it is impossible for these people who have come up to kill the enemy in righteousness.

The situation of fighting and retreating was within the expectations of the generals. At the same time, it is also the price they are willing to pay.

This is only because the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are the patron saints of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting once said that the people of the Great Song Dynasty could kill the enemy. But before the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty fell completely, I would never let the people of the Great Song Dynasty go into battle to kill the enemy!

Shouting for killing, gradually approaching the inner city.

Outside the inner city of Fuzhou, there is also a moat. It's just that this river is not as wide as the moat of the outer city.

In the past, Hanoi was full of dazzling flower boats, but now there is no trace of them.

Only a few bridges remain to connect the city.

The soldiers who had been guarding the northern city wall were the first to rush to the city.

After that, Huang Hua, Gao Tianzong and others led the soldiers and the righteous soldiers of the rivers and lakes to rush back from the south city gate.

As soon as he arrived outside the inner city, he arranged a heavy defense line on various stone bridges and city gates.

Huang Hua ordered: "Order the east, west, and north sides, and blow up all the bridges immediately after returning to the city!" ”

Gao Tianzong was slightly stunned, and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

If the bridge is blown up, then those people who remain in the outer city can really only be slaughtered by the Yuan army.

However, in order to protect the people gathered in the inner city, it is inevitable to blow up the bridge.

Those stubborn people, speaking badly, are really a bit of their own fault.

And in any era and place, there seems to be no shortage of such people.

There were scouts galloping in three directions: west, east, and north.

Bai Yu Toad, the warrior monks of Yongquan Temple, the common people, and the righteous people of the rivers and lakes entered the city.

Now the Yuan army in the south should not attack for the time being, and even if they attack, they will not be of much help.

In a tug-of-war at the head of the city, firearms are more powerful than manpower.

Time passed quietly.

The sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer to the inner city.

Although the northern city wall was not attacked by the Yuan army, the soldiers of the Fuzhou garrison still carried out the military order and blew up the bridge.

Some of the bridges have a history of 100 years and are scenic spots in this Changle County. Under the fires of war, it had to be reduced to the past.

Near dusk, Chengdong Kui Yinghao and other generals led the army and civilians to finally rush back to the inner city.

As soon as the bridge was crossed, the soldiers began to defend at the end of the bridge. Stubbornly fend off the pursuing enemy forces on the other side of the bridge.

Then with a bang, the bridges over the north moat were blown up one after another.
