Chapter 147 [Don't "Fight" and Don't Know]
The Yuan army besieged the city, mainly attacking the south gate and assisting the west gate, which was exactly the same as when the Xing Dynasty attacked the Jiyang military city.
Yacheng opens four gates, the east gate is blocked by Ningyuan water, a few miles behind the north gate is the Li Tong of the lofty mountains, both places can not put the troops, it is that regardless of the siege of the Song and Yuan dynasties, they can only attack the west and south two gates. Five miles outside the south gate of the city, there are two ports of Dagang and Fanfang Port, from the port all the way to the city gate, a slip of the shed, the earthen house, or the place where the ship's merchant hoards goods, or the tea house and food shop, mixed with the residents of Han Lifan and so on, quite prosperous.
Due to the typhoon and rain on the island, it is difficult to see a sturdy house, because with the conditions at that time, no matter how strong the house is, it can not withstand the storm, so it is simple to build a squatter mud house, anyway, there are many trees on the mountain, and it is easy to destroy and rebuild. However, the foundations are very flat and solid, and when the war is going on, these houses can be bulldozed to form troops. In the front, the Song army attacked the Jiyang military city, and the Yuan army attacked the cliff city, all of which used this method to arrange troops.
Of course, the war was all over, and all the merchants and civilians outside the city fled. or sail out to sea, or take refuge in the mountains, or flee into the city, and do not dare to stand in the way of the great army, or they will be crushed into mud.
Due to the existence of the two ports, the outside of the South Gate is the only place where thousands of soldiers can be placed.
Three miles ahead of the west gate, is the Xindi Port of the three ports of Yacheng. There is only one flat passage that is no more than five feet wide, and the rest is mostly potholed earth stalks, and on both sides there are undulating high slopes and dense forests. Only in front of the west gate there is a high and low earth slope that can place some soldiers and horses, supporting 2,000 deaths, and any more will affect the deployment of the siege city. Therefore, although the Yuan army also put a soldier and horse for containment purposes like the Song army at the beginning, its function is really just to contain it.
On the battlefield on the south side, the Yuan army launched no less than ten attacks. On Simon's side, there have only been two diversionary battles. The most recent time, it was launched by the Hague by accident.
For the newly defeated army of the Sudden Hague, Ali Hague naturally will not let it stay with his own troops and horses, otherwise it will inevitably affect morale, so reorganize this remnant army - in fact, it is to take the command of the remaining 300 knights of the Beiting Army that was originally handed over to the eldest son for meritorious service, leaving only 50 horsemen to the eldest son, and the rest of the defeated soldiers will not move, and will still be handed over to the eldest son to command. Then the men and horses that were previously arranged at the West Gate were recalled and replaced by the Lost Hague Headquarters.
Suddenly, The Hague didn't dare to say a word, when he sent his troops to the south from Qiongguan, Atta handed over to him as many as five hundred knights of the Northern Court, the original intention was to let him use this to strengthen the army and make contributions. As a result, he did well, losing nearly two hundred knights. For more than ten years, he has fought with their father and son in the north and south, from the snowy north to the southern and southern mountains, and the casualties have not exceeded 100 people, and he has lost 200 ...... Suddenly The Hague has no doubt that if he were not the son of Ali Hague, his head would have fallen ten times.
After receiving 50 sticks and lying on the hard bed board, the Hague led the remnants of his headquarters of about 2,000 men into the camp in front of the West Gate, and in order to show Atta that he was still ambitious, he gathered 500 soldiers and horses the next day and launched an attack on the West Gate.
Of course, this little force can't be expected to capture the city, and it is intended to contain the Song army and assist the base camp army that attacked the south gate. It is a pity that the Song army is extremely tenacious, and they also have muskets, although they are few, but they have repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Yuan soldiers, and his containment effect is some, but it has failed to achieve the goal.
Muskets, muskets! Suddenly the Hague tooth itched, fortunately, the Ximen defenders did not have this kind of weapon, otherwise even if he wanted to fight, the defeated army under his command who was afraid of being beaten would not have the courage to attack.
The military camp in The Hague was stationed in the port of Novaya Zeml, and his own Chinese military tent was in a merchant's house near the port. The house is made of polished square reefs, which are not ornate, but solid and spacious. The back door of the house provides easy access to a reef and a rocky sandstorm, and the front door provides direct access to the port. The last batch of Yuan army generals stationed in this house turned this house into a Chinese army tent, and after the Hague was suddenly replaced, they also felt that this place was good, and they still took it as the location of the Chinese army.
The climate in Qiongzhou is certainly hot, but if you live by the sea, as long as the sun sets, the night is actually quite cool, which is why the Yuan army stationed the barracks in the port. Although this will make the soldiers live in a scattered place, once there is an alarm, it is not conducive to a quick assembly, but it is much better than the irritability, exhaustion and even epidemic brought to the soldiers by the heat, and the lesser of two evils - the Yuan people may not have heard this sentence, but it does not prevent them from making the right choice.
What's more, the Song army is weak at the moment, and the defense of the city is still insufficient, is it still capable of raiding?
After dinner, it was the end of the hour, the sun had not yet sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the sea breeze was blowing, with a hint of coolness, blowing away all the heat of the day. Suddenly The Hague, escorted by more than a dozen Beiting sergeants, was walking out of the backyard and waddleing along the beach.
The wound of the stick in the Hague was almost healed, and although there were many of the fifty sticks, the severity of the injury depended on the meaning of the executor. If I really want to hit you, one stick can cripple you, and two sticks can kill you. I don't want to hit you, and a hundred sticks will only hurt the flesh and skin. The injury of the Hague looked terrible, and the pain was not light, but it did not hurt the muscles and bones, good medicine and good treatment, coupled with careful care, after seven or eight days, the wound began to scab and close.
According to the instructions of the military doctor, he can now walk and take a walk every day to speed up his recovery.
Walking on the beach, I don't know if I have accelerated the recovery of The Hague, but it is very pleasant to blow the sea breeze and listen to the ebb and flow of the tide.
Ships can be seen passing by from time to time on the sea, and in the past, merchant ships and fishing boats were common, but during the war, the sea was full of patrol boats.
Suddenly, The Hague and his entourage turned around a pile of reefs, and saw two swordfish boats with patrol flags stranded on the beach, and the patrol soldiers of the two boats kept pouring out of the cabins and jumping onto the beach.
Suddenly, Hague's face sank: "Which patrol is this?" One ship ran aground, and two ships ran aground at the same time...... Hum. โ
The accompanying Beiting sergeant knew that the lord was angry, and the two ships of patrol were going to be unlucky.
A sergeant said, "My subordinates stepped forward to ask." โ
Suddenly Hague nodded with a cold face, and suddenly felt that the two ships of patrol were a little strange, after their ships ran aground, they didn't mean to worry at all, but kept taking out strangely shaped packages from the cabin. These packages have two straps, which are easy to carry on the body. Also, among the dozens of Yuan soldiers, none of them carried a sword and a gun and a bow, and they didn't even carry weapons?! Unarmed patrolmen?
As soon as the Beiting sergeant turned out from behind the reef, the patrolman on the beach suddenly split up and rushed over, and before the Beiting sergeant could speak, the other party had already asked violently, "Who is coming?" โ
Which of these Beiting sergeants is not an old soldier in the army? If it is delegated to the Han army and the new annexed army, it is an ordinary soldier who has the qualifications and strength to be the head of the brand, how can he endure the shouting and questioning of these new annexed army patrols.
"You don't have to know who I am." Sergeant Beiting said coldly, "You just need to know that among the people in the back, there are tens of thousands of adults." โ
Sure enough, when Sergeant Beiting saw the effect he pretended to have, the patrolmen were obviously shocked. They glanced at each other, and one of them ran quickly to the beach, apparently reporting to the leader of the patrol. One of the other people asked with a smile, "Suddenly...... Who is the Lord of the Nakamanho? โ
The Beiting sergeant raised his nostrils: "Lord Zhongwanhu is also what you can ask a pawn?" โ
As he spoke, The Hague and his party had turned out of the reef and were approached by a group of patrols. For some reason, a wave of uneasiness swelled in the heart of the Hague, and he was about to drink to make the other party stop. But the patrolmen stopped when they were about twenty paces away from him.
The first young and handsome young man with a head and waist tag hanging from his waist took two steps forward, and his face did not have the slightest respect and trepidation when he met Shangguan, and some were just surprisesโyes, surprises.
As soon as the young man opened his mouth, the group of Beiting sergeants changed in disbelief: "You just lost The Hague?" โ
Suddenly, the corner of The Hague's eyes jumped inexplicably: "You ......"
The person who came smiled, his teeth shining blood-red in the sunset: "Meet me, I'm Zhao Lie!" โ
Zhao Lie stretched out his hand, but he didn't mean to hold it, he had a gun in his hand - the original May Fourth military pistol.
Bang! The firelight flashed, and suddenly there was a bloody hole in The Hague's forehead, and a skull exploded in the back of his head, mixed with a large canopy of plasma, spraying the face of the proud Beiting sergeant before.
This Ali Hague's eldest son, Wanhu in the Yuan army, and the fierce general of the Yuan army who led an army of 8,000 to attack the Wan'an army, fell straight down with a face full of disbelief.
