The night is coming to an end, and the sky is dawning. The chaotic battle inside and outside Danyang City has also entered a white-hot situation.

Inside the city, the defenders were beaten and retreated and contracted, and they were about to give up half of the city. However, Fang Shifo was not satisfied, and continued to urge his soldiers and horses to attack wildly, and at the same time, they would set fire to the shops and houses along the street every time they went further, making the whole county even more chaotic, and many people were screaming and fleeing in a hurry, thus adding chaos to the situation in the city.

Fortunately, many people in this Danyang City were forced to flee to other places by the officials and soldiers before, and they had to have a population of 30% in the past, otherwise the number of innocent people who died tragically tonight would be too much.

Fang Shifo knew very well that his biggest threat was still outside the city, so he had to completely capture Danyang City before the other party defeated the rear army and turned to attack, so that he could fight the enemy army with the city, and at worst, he had to take the most critical granary in the city first.

But the defenders on the opposite side obviously understood this, so even though they were killed and retreated, they looked like they were about to collapse, and they were still making the last stand. Especially when retreating to the continuous treasury in the north of the city, these defenders showed great resilience under the urging of the generals, and resisted several rounds of onslaught, but refused to retreat half a step and let the way out.

Because it is convenient to be a granary in Jiangnan that has hoarded hundreds of thousands of stone of grain, once it is lost, it means that the entire war situation in Jiangnan will completely collapse, and no army can still fight as usual when there is no food. And once Jiangnan is lost because of this, these defenders will inevitably be crowned with a felony, and they will all be killed, which naturally inspires their last courage and fighting spirit, and they are desperate to fight the enemy.

It's just that the difference in combat power between the two sides is too big after all, and in the absence of favorable terrain to take advantage of, relying only on the formation of a hard block will make them pay an extremely heavy price after a few rounds of death battles, thousands of people died on the spot, and at the same time, the team was also beaten to continue to retreat, and it was about to be unstoppable.

In fact, the situation of the Fang La army in front of them is not optimistic, and such a hard fight to the death has also caused their casualties to continue to increase. Although there are a few fierce generals such as Fang Shifo charging forward, boosting the morale of the whole army, in such a large-scale battle, individual bravery is limited after all, and can only occupy an advantage in one direction, but it is difficult to completely break the enemy.

Especially at this time, the defenders had given up everything and shot their arrows straight forward, which hindered their advance even more. Even though they were less than a mile away from the warehouses full of grain, they still couldn't get close.

"General, you can't wait any longer, it's better to attack with fire......" After Fang Shifo led the army to attack again but was forced back by random arrows, some subordinates urgently suggested: "Otherwise, once the Song army outside the city enters, it will be even more difficult for us to succeed." ”

Fang Shifo's face was gloomy as ink, and he gritted his teeth unwillingly and stared at the row of granaries in front of him, he really didn't want to come to this point. Because the food here is not only the guarantee of the Song army, but also an extremely important supplement to the Fang La army.

Although Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, rich and abundant, but in the past two years, because of the sudden rebellion of Fangla, the local grain harvest has also decreased sharply. Even if Fang La and they have been persuading farmers to teach agriculture since last year, and at the same time they have also grabbed the rich grain reserves in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but this bit of food is still not enough for the Fang La army, which has swelled sharply. Therefore, taking Danyang and getting the grain here has become the key for them to ease their breath.

It is precisely because of this that when their military advisor set up such a strategy for Fang La to attack the east and west and seize Danyang by force, he would send out the two heavy generals under him. Not only that, but in order to make a foolish decision, he also handed over the most elite batch of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to Fang Shifo, and asked him to take down Danyang in a hurry.

But now, all kinds of accidents have made him have to make a move to destroy the food in the city, which naturally makes him very unwilling, but after hesitating, he can only reluctantly accept: "Prepare rockets!" "Since you can't take it from your own house, it's better to destroy the grain here than to be held by the Song army!

A group of archers also stepped forward to prepare after obeying the order, and the arrows were already wrapped around the heads of cloth, and there was a pungent smell of fire oil on them, and then the torches were also quickly delivered, and only waiting for an order, a thousand rockets flew over, and all the warehouses could be set on fire.

Fang Lajun's actions were naturally seen by the defenders in front, which made them also anxious: "How is it good?" ”

"Soldiers, the time has come to be loyal to the country! If you have enough seeds, kill them with me and stop them from firing arrows! One of the generals shouted loudly, all of them already raising their knives. But the soldiers around him all stood still, looking at him blankly, without the slightest intention of following him to serve the country.

For the Song army, it is a miracle that it has been able to hold out until now, in fact, many people have already begun to retreat, but they are constantly pressed and beaten by the enemy, so they dare not scatter, because then they will only die faster. But now, when a general asks them to fight back, they will never follow—

In the Great Song Xiang Army, soldiers only wanted to eat food and get paid. wants them to fight to the death, but that's a bit too much.

After seeing the motionless appearance of the soldiers around him, the faces of the generals showed sadness, and at the same time, the last of the sharp energy was also exhausted. A soldier is the courage of a general, and when a soldier no longer has the heart to fight to the death, it will be difficult for the general to have any use.

Fang Shifo, who was about to give the order to release the rocket, suddenly keenly grasped this change, and immediately shouted: "Don't release the arrow yet!" Brothers, kill me again! This time we will be able to defeat them and take the granary! Kill! As he spoke, he swung his hammer again and strode forward.

Fang La's army was obviously much stronger than the defenders, and at this time, as soon as he was inspired by the main general, he immediately roared again, holding his weapons high and rushing forward fiercely. And this time, they really broke through the front defense line in one fell swoop, so that the team quickly smashed into the enemy formation, and rushed straight to the defenders to quickly disperse, and the road leading to the granary in front has been dredged!

And after sensing that the general trend had gone, the defenders, whether they were generals or soldiers, also completely collapsed in an instant. No one tried to stop the enemy's footsteps in a desperate attempt to stop them, but quickly turned around and fled to the rear and to the right and left as soon as the enemy had attacked.

Victory or defeat on the battlefield often comes in an instant. Obviously, the defenders were able to forcibly withstand the enemy's onslaught after round, but because of a little change, they quickly dispersed. Thousands of people were scattered, and there was no longer the strength to resist, only one thought remained, and that was to flee for their lives. Seeing this, Fang Shifo was in high spirits, and laughed: "The Song army is really vulnerable!" Take the granary, and then turn back to guard the city gate, everyone is a meritorious man! His Majesty will reward us heavily! ”

These words once again boosted the morale of the whole army, and in the midst of the shouts, the army rushed forward, and after completely destroying the remnants of the defenders in front, they had already stormed the row of granaries in one go. When the door of the granary was knocked open, allowing people to see the bags of grain stacked inside, the cheers rang out even more: "Wu will win!" General Fang is mighty! ”

The sound spread, but it terrified the scattered defenders even more. They had the courage to resist desperately before, but now they have completely turned into lost dogs, and they don't even have the courage to look back, so they just run around with their heads covered. Some ran into the houses to hide, but more of them directly opened the city gates in other directions and escaped from Danyang City.

It is really another big shame for the Southern Song army in the south of the Yangtze River, obviously their troops are larger, and it is clear that there are reinforcements outside the city that will soon be able to kill them, but they were stunned to collapse by the mere 3,000 square army in their home field, and they really became a group of lost dogs.

Of course, they are not the only ones who have lost their dogs, and the thousands of troops in front of the south gate have also completely broken up after a fight, and everyone has lost the courage to resist, so they can only flee with their heads in their hands, but they don't even want to lose the weapons in their hands.

In the face of the continuous pursuit and onslaught of the Qingzhou army, they also retreated all the way, died all the way, and suffered heavy casualties. But this army is the most elite of Fang La's army, so even at this time, it is still making the last struggle, but the defensive formation is becoming more and more scattered as it continues to retreat, and it is almost impossible to cooperate.

Sun Tu and the others quickly saw this, and immediately, he gave the order for the final general attack: "Trap the camp, kill me and crush their formation in one fell swoop!" Ruda, kill the enemy general in the battle who wears a red tasseled helmet and makes a big sword! ”

With his shouting order, the Qingzhou Army, which had been just following the whole army forward, but could not exert all its combat power, immediately roared in a low voice, and rushed straight up like a whirlwind.

As the most capable of fighting tough battles, they have long thought that they can rush over and fight directly with the enemy. It was only under the military order that they kept holding the fighting spirit in their hearts, and this fire was completely ignited under the order, and then it was ruthlessly released on the enemy army on the verge of collapse.

As a result, an extremely terrifying scene appeared, as the trapped camp rushed past with all its might, it was a blow that penetrated the enemy's cicada-like defense line. Luda and Wu Song were even more like tigers into the flock, constantly harvesting and killing all the enemies they encountered on the road, and almost at the same time pounced in front of the red-tasseled helmet general who was still thinking about commanding the soldiers to stabilize the formation.

The staff and the sword swept up at the same time, and when they were swung down again, the general only had time to let out a scream before he was killed instantly.

And with his death, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back. After being stunned for a while, this Fangla army of thousands of people shouted, and then there was no formation, and everyone scattered and fled.

The sky is about to dawn, and the three roads inside and outside Danyang City, the two battlefields have already divided the winners and losers. And this chaotic war is about to come to an end.
