Chapter 162: Annihilation
The appearance of the Dragon Bird Army Boat Division completely reversed the battle situation of Yacheng. Under this small cliff city, in just over half a month, the Yuan army has lost more than 3,000 troops. For an army with less than 10,000 soldiers, the loss of 30 percent of the elite troops has reached the limit of its endurance. If it weren't for Ali Hague's desperate stumbling at all costs, if it weren't for the fact that he was willing to fight to the death without spending money and fighting to the death, this second-rate army composed of the Han army and the newly attached army would have collapsed long ago.
The Yuan army, who was already exhausted, was supported by a breath of energy, and seeing that the building was about to break, coupled with all kinds of heavy rewards and temptations, this was the only way to play extraordinarily. At this point in the war, whether it was the Song army or the Yuan army, everyone was boiling, trying their last strength to survive. When the balance of the war gradually tilted towards the Yuan army, there was a thunderclap, and the Dragon Bird Army Boat Division appeared on the stage, slamming a heavy weight on the balance of the Song army. The Yuan army on the scales flew out directly.
When the Longque Army Boat Division defeated the Yuan army to block the ships with lightning speed, entered Fanfang Port, and stabbed into the chrysanthemums of the Yuan army, the Yuan army besieging the tower was like an ant nest that was poured with boiling water. The corridor is already narrow, where is it so crowded, the scene is called a miserable: people crowd, people step on people, people hit people, people press people...... There were even panicked soldiers who jumped off the building directly. It's okay to jump to the head of the city, there are countless human meat mats, and if you are unlucky, jump to the bottom of the city and directly become human meat patties.
Dewarmed Buhua just roared: "Go back!" Give it all to Lao Tzu back! If you work harder, you will win......" The next moment, he was drowned in the crowd of fleeing, and the silver glittering sword that was once coveted was also trampled by a pair of big feet without hesitation......
Seeing that the low-hanging fruit victory slipped out of his hand like this, Ali Hague, who was sitting under the Chinese army, almost vomited blood, and his calm and calm demeanor was gone.
"Atta, let's go, if you are caught up in the rout, it will be over!" Brother Guan only screamed in panic.
Monk Langzhong also persuaded bitterly: "Marshal Du, the defeated army is like locusts, and even the tiger power that does not cost ten thousand households to get rid of temperature can't stop it, and it's too late if you don't leave......"
Ali Hague slowly stood up from Jindun, and an invisible majesty emanated, suffocating the breath of Brother Guan, Monk and others, and a cold voice came into the ears of Brother Guan, Monk, Beiting Army and Zhongjun to sit down the ears of all the Yuan Army: "My Su Luding is here!" My seat is here! People who want to return to Daying, Qiongzhou, and the land shore alive will gather here! ”
At the end of November of the second year of Xiangxing, the Longque Army Boat Division landed, there was no hope of breaking the city, and the morale of the Yuan army, which was cut off after retreating, was greatly defeated. Wanhu dewarmed and died in the chaotic army, and the marshal of the Mongolian and Han armies, Ali Hague, was in danger, gathered the rout, and retreated to the southern camp.
The Dragon Bird Boat Division did not land, but patrolled the sea with a section to watch the enemy in Dagang and Xindi Port. Then, more than ten warships were concentrated and launched a thunderous attack on Fanfang Port, allowing the Yuan army to taste the terrifying power of a thousand guns for the first time. In this era when naval warfare relied far on arrows and close to gang fighting, the huge superiority of muskets could completely make up for the lack of troops. What's more, the Yuan army did not have many troops left behind to guard the ships, and even less when it was divided into the three major ports.
Under the thunderous blow of the Dragon Bird Army, the Yuan Water Army that stayed in Fanfang Port was defeated, and most of the ships were destroyed. By the time Ali Hague collected the defeated soldiers and returned to the camp for rescue, the Dragon Bird Boat Division had sailed away. The Yuan army, which had lost its sea power, even though it had several times the enemy's strength, was helpless.
The next day, the Dragon Bird Army launched another attack on the Yuanshui Army in Dagang and Xindi Port. The strength of these two port naval armies is weaker than that of Fanfang Port, how can they afford it? You can't fight it, and you can't beat it, and you can avoid it and be blocked again. I really can't even hide if I can't provoke it, and I was beaten so badly. In the end, the southern battalion urgently transferred more than ten temporary trebuchets (all the trebuchets that had been besieged before were lost under Yacheng City) to repel the Dragon Bird Army.
At this point, the Song army's counterattack came to an end, and the two armies began to confront each other.
After this battle, the Yuan army lost more than 5,000 people in the attack on Yacheng and the three major ports, hundreds of carts of grain and grass were discarded, and nearly 100 large and small ships were destroyed, accounting for half of the total ships of the Yuan army. Although the Yuan army still had an advantage in terms of strength at this time, after the crushing defeat, morale was low and everyone was afraid of battle. Ali Hague organized several breakouts, but they were all beaten back by the Dragon Bird Army Boat Division commanded by Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou. Ali Hague and his Yuan army finally saw what a thousand-man musket army had.
Even if Ali Hague was a lion, he would not be able to lead an army of sheep with no morale and no fear from muskets. This once again shows the particularity of the Qiongzhou region, if it is not for the blockage of the port, if it is not separated by a strait, if it is not hindered by the primeval jungle of Litong (Wuzhi Mountain...... No matter how fierce the firepower of the Dragon Bird Army is, there are only more than 1,000 people, and it can be blocked, but it cannot be surrounded, and if the Yuan army breaks through by different routes, it will be difficult to stop.
And now, Ali Hague has only one way, and that is to break through the harbor and escape from the sea, and to do this, it is first necessary to repel the Dragon Bird Boat Division. Will he be able to repel the Dragon Sparrow Boat Division? It has been proven time and time again that it can't!
After being besieged for half a month, the Yuan army, which had run out of food, mutinied, and although it was suppressed in time, the strength of the Yuan army weakened again, and the whole army was less than 15,000 people. Ali Hague, a desperate old lion, finally realizes a terrible fact - this is not only the place of his worst failure, but may even be the place of his own burial.
Ali Hague, who smelled the smell of danger, immediately made a decision, and on the night of mid-December, the whole army broke through from the three ports of Dagang, Fanfang Port, and Xindi Port. Due to the serious shortage of ships, they cannot carry materials with people, and they cannot carry people with materials. As a result, more than 5,000 servants were thrown down by the Yuan army, including a large amount of baggage except for grain and straw, and all of them were abandoned.
Due to the fact that the Song army in Yacheng was too small in strength and the city was still insufficient, they did not dare to go out of the city to pursue, in case the Yuan army counterattacked, and it would be a big loss if it was not possible to lose the city.
Under such circumstances, the Longque Army Boat Division had to take on the heavy task of encircling, pursuing and intercepting it alone, and concentrated most of its troops to storm the main boat division of the Hong Kong Kong Army in Fanfang, which had the largest number of troops, and could only try its best to intercept the remaining two ports. The battle lasted until dawn the next day, and the Yuan army ship under siege was like a crocodile bitten by a group of lions.
After a while, with a burst of cheers and exclamations on the sea, the Yuan military ship fluttering with the Ha Thorn Su Luding and the Chinese army Daxu ignited a raging fire, and the fire was so great that even Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, Chen Yizhong, Zeng Yuanzi, Zhao Lie, and other generals and ministers who were watching the battle on the cliff tower a few miles away could see it clearly.
Ali Hague, actually set himself on fire?!
Wen, Zhang Ershuai and the ministers looked at each other, with incredible ecstasy in their eyes. Suddenly, the entire building was filled with laughter and mourning.
This laughter is so unbridled and joyful; This weeping is so reverberating.
