1010.Battle of Fuzhou
After a short time, a general ran to Huang Hua's side with his soldiers.
Without their explanation, the soldiers had already spontaneously resisted the Yuan army under the city.
And the addition of this new force naturally caused the Yuan army within a hundred meters of the city gate to suffer a catastrophe.
In just an instant, countless Yuan troops died under artillery fire.
The general wrapped in a red cloak stood in front of Huang Hua and arched his hand: "Pacify the envoy!" ”
Huang Hua nodded, "General Kui, you immediately lead your soldiers down to the city and block the gap." No Yuan army must be allowed to enter the city! Especially the masters in the Yuan army! ”
"Yes!"
The general surnamed Kui nodded and immediately shouted: "All the soldiers of the second regiment, follow me down to the city!" ”
Kui Yinghao.
Commander of the Second Regiment of the Fuzhou Garrison.
His grade is about forty, which is between the young Zhuang faction and the twilight faction. In the Fuzhou garrison, of course, he is also the number one.
Only now in the Great Song Dynasty, a general of his age is really a little embarrassed.
In terms of the art of war and tactics, they are not as good as generals like Gao Tianzong.
In terms of actual combat experience, it is not as good as Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Juena and other famous generals on the battlefield.
In the four major military regions of the entire Great Song Dynasty, there are Yue Peng and Su Quandang in the young and strong, and Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue in the old Cheng, but there are no middle-aged generals like them to take on the big responsibility.
Fortunately, most of their generals were returned from the righteous army and the box army. The foundation is not too good, but there are no complaints in my heart.
Otherwise, even if Zhao Dongting instilled the idea of loyalty and patriotism in the army, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army would have been in chaos early.
After arriving at the city, Kui Yinghao immediately dispersed his soldiers.
His second regiment had not gone out of the city to fight before, and it was still at full strength. Thousands of men in the army, in the battalion column, ran towards the gaps.
This made it even more difficult for the Deyuan army to enter the city.
Inside and outside the gaps, there were already a large number of corpses of the Yuan army lying down.
With these ordinary soldiers alone, they really couldn't break through the Song army's dragon guns, bows and arrows, and thundering defense lines.
At the head of the city, more and more soldiers of the garrison gathered.
The 20,000 yuan army besieging the city under the city was struggling.
Only at this time, the other two Yuan armies also pressed down to the city.
Their reinforcements made these Yuan troops who were the first to attack the city not retreat.
"Kill!"
The shouting of killing suddenly shocked the sky.
With the shouts of killing in the 20,000 yuan army that pressed under the city, the flag fluttered. At this moment, the atmosphere at the head of the city seemed to be condensed to the extreme.
Along the southern city wall, the garrison soldiers gathered to the point of five thousand. At this moment, they all looked at the city with solemn expressions.
The 20,000 yuan army that had just arrived was obviously not like the previous Yuan army, but only flocked to the city.
At the sound of the desolate horn, the 20,000 yuan army was divided into nearly ten shares.
They flocked to the gap.
This is, of course, highly targeted.
And in the air, there was a hot air balloon of the Yuan army pressing up. And this time, there are more than the last one.
The cupola cannons at the head of the city were aimed at the outside of the city.
Huang Hua shouted hoarsely: "Hold the gap!" Hold the gap! ”
Some soldiers spontaneously ran towards the section of the wall above the gap.
In an instant, there was another fierce confrontation.
The Yuan army was in chaos at each gap, and spread into the city under the surging artillery fire on the city.
The Shunchang Gate, which was supposed to be the focus of the city, was obviously no longer necessary to break through because of these gaps.
But Huang Hua couldn't transfer the soldiers over.
Because at this time, there were still Yuan troops everywhere under the city walls.
That's tens of thousands......
It's not so easy to get rid of them. After all, this is not a face-to-face confrontation between the two armies, the crowd is scattered, and the thunder cannot be fully powerful.
The confrontation between the openings was particularly intense.
In the end, someone in the Yuan army was able to rush into the gap.
And there were ballistas pushed out of the gap.
These ballistas are extremely powerful and can penetrate shields, so that the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty in the gap are also damaged.
But Gao Tianzong, Che Hongyu, Kui Yinghao and other generals just led the soldiers to fight to the death and not retreat.
The trumpet of the charge sounded at the head of the city.
All of them were like chickens.
Facing the Yuan army, which was several times their size, the Fuzhou garrison gave them a glimpse of what it meant to be a real Great Song soldier.
As a Confucian general, Gao Tianzong does not practice martial arts, but he also stands upright at the front of the army.
Arrows pierced his arm.
Mu Wazi's eyes were red next to him, and he begged him to let him retreat. But Gao Tianzong just ignored it.
His eyes were bulging and staring, as if there was only Yuan Jun in his eyes at this time, and he kept shouting: "Kill!" Block them! Block them! ”
Probably infected by this desperate momentum, the soldiers around him seemed to have their legs rooted in the ground.
The Yuan army continued to pour in from outside the gap, and their soldiers who stood in the gap never wavered.
Those Yuan troops pushing ballistas were shot down one after another.
Bodies were strewn across the gap.
And in the rest of the gaps, it is probably a similar situation.
The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty used their flesh and blood to resist the Yuan army outside the city. In this way, it lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour.
Early noon passed.
After paying a heavy price, the momentum of the Yuan army seems to be slightly decreasing.
Everyone is afraid of death.
Those Yuan troops saw that they could not enter the city for a long time, and those who entered the city did not come out alive, and the siege of the city gradually became less active than before.
Especially those Yuan troops who were the first to attack the city, they have been a little lacking in energy until now.
In the army of the Yuan army, Ah Shu's face was slightly ugly.
He didn't expect that he would not be able to break the outer wall of Changle County in this way.
It's not that he can't get his hole cards, it's just that he will invest his troops again. Even if this outer city of Fuzhou is captured, the price will inevitably be too great.
He heard from the scouts about how stubborn the resistance of the Song army in the city was.
At this time, if you send masters to break the city, although the success rate should be very great, those masters will also be damaged.
And taking the outer city does not mean that you will take the entire Changle County.
There are also inner cities and sub-cities in Changle County.
If you take an outer city and play all the hole cards, how to win the inner city and sub-city when the time comes?
Ah Shu looked up at the sky and pondered for a long time.
In the end, two more armies in the Yuan army left the battle and went around the east gate of Changle County.
Of course, he could see that there were many Song troops gathered on the southern city wall, and they wanted to break the city from the eastern city wall. In this way, it may be better than continuing to the southern wall.
And only after the 20,000 troops were dispatched, Ah Shu also personally led the remaining army towards the western city wall.
The drums in the army were thundering.
This drum was to boost the morale of the soldiers who were besieging the city before he left.
He needed these siege soldiers to keep going.
In this way, he can easily take the west or east city wall of Changle County. And as long as one of them is taken, this outer city of Fuzhou can be regarded as broken.
He didn't think that a few thousand Song troops could still confront his nearly 100,000 army in the city.
Head of the city.
There was a thunderbolt that exploded not far from Huang Hua's side.
Huang Hua just didn't move.
Zhi Yongshou ran to his side at some point.
When the cannon rang out, he protected Huang Hua behind him.
There seems to be some buzzing in my ears.
But Zhi Yongshou didn't care about it so much, and only yelled at Huang Hua: "Pacify the envoy, the Yuan thief is going to break through from the east and west sides!" ”
Huang Hua nodded, did not speak, and looked solemn.
Zhi Yongshou shouted again: "Are we going to withdraw to the inner city?" ”
Huang Hua finally replied and said, "Commander, you lead 1,500 soldiers to defend Xicheng!" We must not give up on this outer city! ”
"......"
Zhi Yongshou opened his mouth, but sighed lightly, and arched his hand: "Then I'll go." ”
He left Huang Hua's side, shouting all the way, and ran towards the west city wall with some soldiers who were originally guarding the west city wall.
He knew what Huang Hua meant.
Abandon the outer city, and the outer city will be destroyed by the Yuan army.
Although everyone knew that abandoning the outer city at this moment was the wisest choice, but if he really wanted to give up the people of the outer city for eternity, he wouldn't be able to say that.
As soon as Zhi Yongshou left, Huang Hua sent another general to Dongcheng with his soldiers.
The strength of the Song army on the southern city wall suddenly became much thinner.
Even Kui Yinghao under the city led the soldiers away.
The Fuzhou garrison above and below the city added up to less than 1,500 people.
This naturally made the strength that had to resist the Yuan army suddenly weakened a lot.
Soon, the Yuan army was able to break through the gap and rushed to the front of the Song army in the gap.
The city is in turmoil.
Huang Hua looked at this scene, but he was also helpless.
He expected this to be the case.
All I hope for now is that the soldiers will be able to hold on for a little longer.
Because he understands that these Yuan troops under the city are also at the end of the strong crossbow, and it is impossible to continue to attack the city for too long.
