Chapter 643: Danyang Chaos (Part I)

Danyang is in sight, the city gate is open, there are many fires in the city, and the screams are continuous, obviously the city in front of him has little resistance. This made Fang Lajun and the others feel that they could easily take this city with only one round of impact, so they were not prepared for the difficulties and dangers that might arise in their hearts.

But at this juncture when victory was close at hand, with a loud horn sounding, a large number of Song troops suddenly killed a large number of Song troops in the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road, and launched a surprise attack from their flanks!

This was really too unexpected for everyone, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Fang Shifo and his generals were also caught off guard by this raid, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. Who would have expected that there would be an ambush of the Song army outside Danyang City, as if they had already expected that they would attack this county seat.

In this way, the entire Fangla army was completely chaotic, and the sudden attack was already chaotic in the army's heart, and the enemy also released a rain of arrows in the process of rushing and killing, and the arrows flew one by one, so that many people didn't even have time to show their weapons, they were penetrated, and they fell in a pool of blood screaming.

The two rounds of arrows were released, and a large number of soldiers had fallen on both sides of the ranks, and everyone else was screaming and retreating towards the rear in a panic, while the two or three thousand men at the front of the group could only rush forward with inertia to widen the distance between them and the enemy. As for the soldiers in the middle who were attacked by the Song army, when they completely lost their fighting spirit, they were chopped and stabbed by the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou army who quickly killed them, and hundreds of people died in an instant.

As a result, a complete army was actually cut off by this round of attacks, and it was difficult to take care of the end.

Even Sun Tu didn't expect the battle to develop so smoothly. Obviously, he overestimated the fighting spirit and combat power of this Fang La army, thinking that the other party could quickly react in the event of a surprise attack and launch a defense and counterattack, so he left a hand when leading the troops to rush down, and did not let all the soldiers kill down the mountain. In this way, although the enemy army was cut off, it was still inferior in terms of troops, and could only attack the enemy on one side.

Sun Tu's reaction was extremely fast, and when he saw this, he had already shouted and ordered: "Turn around and fight the rear army, cut off its way back first, and then destroy the front army!" ”

As his order was issued, the whining of the horn and the vigorous waving of the torch quickly conveyed the order in the dark night, so that every officer of the ten-man squad knew what he was going to do at the first time, and then decisively led the army back and killed the retreating counter-army fiercely.

At this time, it was completely demonstrated that the results of the Qingzhou Army's hard training in the past few years came, in such a late night, and in the chaotic battlefield mixed with the enemy and me, they were still able to maintain absolute unity, and they continued to rush to kill the enemy in the rear as pointed out by the team, killing the enemy and retreating one after another, and there was no resistance at all.

Fang Shifo, who saw this scene, couldn't believe his eyes at this moment: "When did Song Jun become so strong?" "In the past, he has also fought against many officers and soldiers, even if the opponent has more troops, but he is not his own elite opponent. But today is good, it is just that he is temporarily out of control and unable to fight back when he is attacked by someone, and now the elite he is proud of can't even resist a little, which is really difficult for him to accept, and he is furious: "Everyone, kill me and defeat the Song army from the rear!" ”

Fang Shifo, who had been blinded by anger, forgot his original goal at this time, and directly ordered to fight with the Qingzhou army. Fortunately, at this time, there were still sober and understanding people around him, and he immediately persuaded loudly: "General, the top priority is to take Danyang!" The enemy army only has the upper hand for a while, they can't eat our whole army, as long as we can take Danyang, the Song army will be chaotic, and we can still turn the tide of the war! ”

Fang Shi Buddha can be reused by Fang La, and entrusted with important tasks, naturally he is not a stupid person. Just now, I was so dizzy that I gave such an order. At this moment, as soon as he was reminded, he took a deep breath, quickly gathered his anger, gritted his teeth and said: "Kill into the city, take Danyang, our army will win!" Kill! After shouting this, he had already taken the lead and rushed straight to Danyang City.

At this time, the battle at the city gate had also entered the white-hot point.

Seeing that a large number of enemy troops were coming, the officers and soldiers defending the city were also panicked, and they gathered and rushed to the south gate to kill, and fought with those who were stubbornly guarding here.

Originally, in these hundreds of years, it should be expected that his own team would be able to kill quickly, so it was enough to resist the first wave of the enemy's attack. Unexpectedly, there was a reversal outside the city at this juncture, and the Song army had already set up an ambush outside the city, so that not only the army outside the city was killed by surprise, but these people in the city were also a little dazed, so they could only forcibly resist the defenders who kept killing and kept the city gate open.

Fortunately, these should be the most warlike elite soldiers under the command of Fang Shifo, and the terrain at the city gate is narrow, which is not conducive to defending and attacking, so even in the face of more than ten times the enemy's repeated attacks, they can still hold on. At the same time, Mo Jingyao, who had already been stunned, was also pulled to the front of the team by them again to threaten the defenders.

It's just that at this time, many generals in the city, who know that once the city is lost, they will inevitably be severely punished, and they may even lose their lives, have long been unable to care about their bosses. Completely ignoring the constant shouting and threats of the enemy, he continued to urge his troops to attack and kill the past, and the only use of Mo Tuanlian was to force the defenders to not use bows and crossbows, and also to let them hold the city gate without losing.

But as the defenders followed the attack one after another, these hundreds of internal responses have gradually become exhausted, and people continue to fall, obviously to the end of the strong crossbow, and may not be able to hold out for long.

Just when the defenders over there were overjoyed, and once again urged the soldiers and horses to kill the enemy in front of the city gate with a more violent attitude, the roar of the earth suddenly broke out outside the city again, and then the three thousand Fang La troops were already under the leadership of Fang Shifo, roared into the city gate, and collided head-on with the defenders who had just rushed over.

Fang Shifo, who was holding back his anger, was worried that he had nowhere to vent, and at this moment there was no longer any hand left, and the two huge copper hammers were opened by him like two whirlwinds, first brushing past those who had quickly avoided Neiying, and then slammed into the unprepared defenders.

When the time came, the screams rang out. His two copper hammers weighed twenty or thirty pounds, and each time he swung out, he was afraid that he would not weigh fifty or sixty pounds, and he was really killed and bruised. As a result, a shocking scene happened, the hundreds of defenders who had just come over and wanted to recapture the city gate were defeated and retreated by him with a double hammer, and truly achieved one enemy with one hundred.

And the soldiers of the Fang La Army behind him, after seeing such a brave performance of their own general, also temporarily put aside the panic caused by the attack just now, and roared one by one, like a fierce tiger in the mountains, they also wanted to vent all the fear and anger just now on the Song army in front of them.

In this way, the gap between the two roads is also quickly and distinctly presented, the current wave of soldiers and horses were killed and retreated, although the defenders quickly organized the next round of offensive under the urging of the generals, but after encountering the momentum of the Fang La army, their offensive has also been frozen and collapsed, and they can only maintain a certain combat power by constantly retreating.

You know, there are still 10,000 people in the city at this moment, although they are scattered, although their main general is still under the control of the enemy at this time, but after all, there are only less than 3,000 people on the opposite side, and they are still the frightened birds who rushed into the city after being attacked. But as a result, the elite of the Suzhou army, which Zhu Mian had high hopes for and wanted to use them to hold Danyang, was completely vulnerable, not only failed to recapture the south gate, but was killed and retreated into the city, and the county seat was completely lost.

Seeing the slight knowledge, this alone can see how weak the officers and troops in Jiangnan are now, and they can no longer even resist the rebel army that has just been established. Of course, some people may want to mention that this is because of the fall of the Danyang City Gate, so that the officers and soldiers have no danger to defend the result, if the city gate is not lost, with the Song Army's consistent ability to defend the city, coupled with a variety of city defense equipment, Danyang may not be broken.

But then again, the loss of the gates was a sign of their incompetence, and if the defenders weren't too lax themselves, how could they have been in such an unmanageable situation?

Compared with the performance of the Danyang defenders who made continuous mistakes and were vulnerable, the Qingzhou army was so strong that people couldn't believe that they were actually the official army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Because as they continued to rush and kill, the six or seven thousand square troops in the rear had retreated again and again, and they were all driven out two or three miles away. And with the retreat along the way, they also paid the price of hundreds of people being killed, which was too heavy for this Fang La army, which had lost its main general and could only be commanded by a few partial generals, and many people had lost their fighting spirit, turned around and fled into the dark wilderness, it seemed that these thousands of people would soon be killed and the whole army collapsed.

At this time, the Qingzhou army had already given full play to its own combat power, not only did people continue to rush fiercely in front of them, but the soldiers and horses that had not been killed before also used bows and crossbows to disturb the enemy's formation from both sides, so that they could not stabilize their positions and form a decent defense, so they could only retreat in embarrassment.

In addition, the Qingzhou army still has crossbow arrows in front of it, and this series of ferocious offensives is indeed not something that the disheartened Fangla army in front of them can resist, and they can maintain it until this time has not completely collapsed, which has proved that their military spirit is stable enough.

"Jurisdiction, Danyang City is broken, and the enemy has entered the city......" At this time, the generals of the Qingzhou Army could still be distracted and pay attention to the situation in Danyang City in the rear. After seeing that Fang Shifo had led the army to kill, many people showed a look of worry, and Yang Zhi couldn't help but remind Sun Tu.

Sun Tu only pursed his mouth after hearing this, and then said: "Take care of this side first, if you don't break the enemy on this road, it will be difficult to save Danyang!" ”

"Kill!" The generals who received the order immediately roared again, urging the whole army to continue to kill the enemy in front of them like waves!
