Chapter 140: Retreat Turns into Defeat

On the sixth day of November, the Dragon Sparrow Army's special operations team attacked Wanning Pier at the same time as the storm. Under the synergy of explosives and violent storms, 11 warehouse ships were filled with a large amount of seawater, coupled with the impact of wind and waves, and finally seven were sunk, and the remaining four were also seriously damaged and could not be repaired in the short term.

The warehouse ships were bombed, the trestle bridge was destroyed, and the grain and grass were difficult to lose. The news spread, and the Yuan army camp exploded. The grain officials suddenly became rats crossing the street, and everyone chased after them, and once they were surrounded, the noise of splitting heads and heads was enough to inflate anyone's head.

All the quarrels can be summed up in one sentence: how much more grain and grass is left?

How much more grain and grass is there? Can you answer this? The Lord of Wanhu has already had a strict order, who dares to leak the military aircraft, put it in a cloth bag, and trample to death. Therefore, even if the grain officials were beaten to the point that their heads were broken and bleeding, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and even their ribs were broken, they refused to answer or said a figure that was so exaggerated that no one could believe it.

Law enforcement in the army can no longer control the situation, and the world has the biggest meal, which is a matter of life and death, so why should they be afraid of death?

On the third day after the bombing incident, the storm gradually stopped, and the sea calmed down, but the people were panicked, the army had no heart to fight, and the whole camp was filled with a precursor to collapse.

Suddenly lost The Hague did not expect that he would come with an army of 8,000 with great ambition, and he was full of confidence and waved his army to fight, but the result was a defeat and a great defeat. Originally, it was planned to hold on to it, as long as the Dragon Sparrow Army's way to the sea was blocked, the mission would be completed. Unexpectedly, the Dragon Bird Army came to this trick......

How much grain and grass is left in the army? No one knows better than the sudden loss of The Hague - there is enough food for the army of 6,000 for ten days, and if the warehouse ship is in good condition, take advantage of the calm of the wind and waves, and hurry to the north to transport food, and at the same time the army will be rationed, and it will be tight until the life-saving food and grass arrive...... It's just that it's useless to say anything now, if you don't take advantage of the fact that there is still food and grass in the army, and there are warships on the dock for retreating soldiers, hurry up, and drag it out for another ten days and eight days, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I want to.

In fact, in the heart of the Hague, in addition to worrying about food and grass, he was more worried about the warships on the dock. You know, the elusive and hateful dragon sparrow sentinel has not been seen yet. In other words, they could raid again at any time and attack the warship. Although he has stationed thousands of soldiers and is densely armed, the opponent's firearms are terrifying, and he really has no bottom in his heart whether he can prevent them. The warehouse ship was destroyed, but the army was defeated and retreated; If the ship is destroyed, it will be the end of the total annihilation.

It's not that I didn't suspect that the Hague had lost it, why the Song people blew up the warehouse ship but not the warship. In the end, the conclusion was that the Song people imitated the strategy of the siege of land warfare, and if they did not fall into the plan, the Song people were ruthless, and simply blew up the warship, cutting off their own way of retreat, and the consequences were ...... Suddenly, The Hague shuddered, the matter had come to this, even if he knew that it was a plan, he had to act according to the intentions of the Song people.

On the tenth day of November, the Yuannan Expeditionary Army besieging the Wan'an Army suddenly lost 6,000 troops from The Hague and pulled out all of them. After strictly guarding the camp with more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and guarding against the attack of the Dragon Bird Army, the rest retreated to the dock, boarded the ship and headed south, and joined Ali Hague, the commander of the Yuan Southern Expedition.

As soon as the Yuan army moved, the Dragon Bird Army also moved.

Soon, the broken camp approached the Yuan army camp under the leadership of Ouyang Guanhou and Shi Yang. The Yuan Army's Beiting Army, the Han Army, and the New Attached Army were guarded by the camp, and they resisted with strong crossbows and hard bows. Although the musket of the camp is sharp, it is difficult to break the projectile in the face of the dense fence of the fortified village, and it is impossible to approach it for a while.

When the two armies were facing each other, suddenly there was an explosion in the direction of the pier, and then the sound of the call sign shook the sky. When the defenders of the Yuan camp were in shock, the shocking news soon came from the rear: the army had gathered at the dock and was about to board the ship when it was suddenly attacked by a Song army. This Song army was small in number, but the firepower was fierce, and there were explosives suspected of shaking the sky, which caught the guards off guard and retreated. The attack on the Song army was like a sharp cone, and in a short period of time, it broke through the three layers of defense of the Yuan army in a row, and the breakthrough was so fast that it was too late to even dispatch troops and horses to plug the gap in The Hague.

When a thunder cannon fell from the sky and exploded in the crowd of the dock, the entire dock was immediately plunged into panic and chaos. The miscellaneous soldiers scattered in terror, the cattle, horses, mules and sheep were frightened and jumped, countless people rushed to board the boat, people crowded and everyone stepped on people, and there were many people who fell into the sea.

The back road changed, and the Yuan army guarding the camp was in turmoil, for fear that the back road would be cut off, and they had no intention of holding on, so they retreated in a panic. Originally, there was an order in The Hague that when the defenders retreated, they should set fire to the camp, and the baggage that could not be taken away in the camp should be burned, and no one should be left for the Song people. As a result, due to the hasty retreat, the soldiers of the new annex who remained at the end threw a few torches indiscriminately, and saw that the camp gate was broken open, and a large number of Song troops poured in. The new attached soldiers are running around one by one, and they can't care about what is heavy, and they can't care about it anymore.

The battalion was divided into one to extinguish the fire in time, and the other to chase and kill until the seaside pier. Under the rush of the chaotic army, the already chaotic Yuan army made matters worse, squeezing people and animals, overturning and flying, and all competing to get on the ship without division of officers and soldiers. How can a narrow pallet accommodate so many people? The people who are squeezed off on both sides are dumplings as follows. At this point, the Yuan army suddenly lost The Hague and completely collapsed, and a good retreat finally turned into a great rout.

Suddenly The Hague and his personal guards were stunned at the bow of the ship, and they wanted to cry without tears.

The Hague is also a veteran of battles, and his retirement arrangements are not leaky, at least in the middle of the rules, there are not too many loopholes to drill. But unexpectedly, when he encountered an army with firepower that was completely beyond the times, his multiple defenses were quickly defeated, and he didn't even have time to deploy troops to plug the leaks......

"Muskets! Muskets! Suddenly, The Hague had red eyes, and roared at the dragon sparrow soldiers who were constantly spitting out tongues of fire, "My Dayuan has the world's top craftsmen and the most abundant materials, which is ten million times more manpower and material resources than yours!" Zhao Hunt! Wait, next time, I'll take a team of muskets and smash you and your dragon sparrow army to smithereens! ”

In the end, except for the more than 2,000 soldiers who lost The Hague and boarded the ship earlier, nearly half of the remaining 3,000 soldiers either fell into the sea or trampled on each other and died, and the remaining nearly 2,000 soldiers, warships and a large amount of grain and grass were all captured by the Dragon Bird Army. As for the Dragon Bird Army, only the special operations team killed two Li soldiers, and one Thunder team member and two junior team members were injured. The camp suffered only more than 20 casualties. This battle was a great victory.

After receiving the good news, Zhao Lie and all his subordinate generals were pleasantly surprised. Although it was expected that the Yuan army would retreat after the food was cut off, and it was not surprising that Long Feiyi's special operations team would take advantage of the situation to raid, but he did not expect that the sudden attack of the special operations team would cause great chaos in the Yuan army, and the retreat of the Yuan army would turn into a rout.

It can be said that in this battle, the special operations team made great contributions, and at the same time, it also proved the power of firearms with one actual battle after another.

Pity...... Zhao Lie is not without regrets, he is not short of guns now, only people. If the special operations squad can be expanded into a special operations brigade or even a special operations battalion, perhaps not a single one of them will be able to run away from the Hague or below.

Regret is regret, firearms are irreproducible weapons of destruction, and they must be handed over to loyal people who can rest assured.

Seeing such a big victory, Zhao Ruohe of Wanning County was overjoyed, and did not wait for the harvest of this battle to come out, and urgently urged Zhao Lie to take advantage of the great victory of the whole army, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and hurriedly sent troops south to rescue the dangerous situation of Xingchao.

Zhao Lie discussed with the generals, since the encirclement of the Yuan army has been broken, it is naturally incumbent on King Qin to go south, but he must not be hasty, he must plan carefully, and at the same time, he must arrange the Wan'an army. If nothing else, the amount of work involved in the screening and disposal of captives alone is not small.

Although it was a big victory, the mood was not much easier, and the days of the Song Dynasty were ...... Zhao Lie only sighed, but the path he chose, no matter how difficult it was, he had to go forward.

The twilight was heavy, and he looked down at the bustling crowd of people and the cars of seized materials from the city gate cave one after another, and looked up at the ends of the world, not knowing what the battle situation was on the other side, and only hoped to hold on until his reinforcements arrived.
