Chapter 1367: Defeat
Although Liu Qi ordered the army to encircle and kill Wu Song, it is a pity that Wu Song has gathered more than 100 people around him, and a small defensive position has been initially formed in Xiangyang City.
"My lord, mobilize the sailors, go out of the water gate, and attack their pontoon bamboo raft." Shi Lei shouted loudly. There are also sailors in Xiangyang, although there are not many sailors in the navy, Liu Qi has not dared to come out, on the one hand, because there are fewer sailors, once attacked by the enemy's artillery, there will be heavy losses, and on the other hand, Liu Qi is also counting on the sailor to flee for his life, which is also the reason why Liu Qi's sailor does not dare to appear.
"Quick, order the sailors, attack the pontoon, and drive these guys down." Liu Qi knew that once his sailors appeared, they would become the enemy's targets, and no matter how many sailors there were, they would be destroyed by the enemy. The chance of saving one's life in the end will be slim. But what else can be done now?
Wu Song's face changed after hearing this, during this period of time, no matter how the Tang army bombed, the Song army had never used a water division. Even the seed master Dao doubted that the sailors of the Song army had already left Xiangyang, so they would use bamboo rafts to build pontoon bridges and prepare to attack Xiangyang, but now they didn't expect that there were still sailors in Xiangyang City.
Wu Song was suddenly a little anxious, once the sailor appeared, the bamboo raft would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the sailor, he glanced at the people around him, and said loudly: "The enemy wants to use the sailor, our bamboo raft can't resist it, to break Xiangyang, destroy the sailor first, you go back and immediately tell Xianggong that the army will suspend the attack, the front team will become the rear team, we will immediately withdraw from Xiangyang and look for an opportunity to deal with the sailor." Ordered artillery and return artillery to block the river, and destroy all the naval warships if they saw them. ”
In the face of Datang's artillery, Liu Qi would not use the naval warship until the critical moment, but today was undoubtedly caught off guard, Datang actually forcibly attacked Xiangyang, and even the people of Xiangyang City did not let go. In a hurry, Wu Song led a large army to the case, and Liu Qi who was killed was embarrassed, if it was a moment later, the Tang army would go ashore with a large army and crush the Song army in Xiangyang City, at that time, even if he had more means, I am afraid it would be useless, in this case, it is better to use the sailors, and pass the current crisis first.
"No matter what, our pontoon bridge in the river will definitely be destroyed, and our retreat at this time can only make our previous achievements undone." Wu Song said to the soldiers beside him.
"Say it to the general! What do you want us to do? The soldiers around him said without hesitation.
"It's better to get a tiger in the tiger's den, if you want to break Xiangyang, I'm afraid we can only wait until the next time, but if you want to win easily, it is impossible to rely on a frontal attack alone, you can only win easily by attacking from both sides, inside and outside, I am ready to enter Xiangyang City, you have the courage to go in with me." Wu Song looked at the soldiers beside him and said.
"At the general's command." The pro-soldiers shouted one after another. Although they knew that entering it was a life of nine deaths, as long as Wu Song gave an order, these people did not hesitate to carry it out.
"Very good, this time we will enter Xiangyang City together, there will naturally be secret guards in the city to respond, as long as the ambush lasts for three or five days, when the enemy slacks, it will be the time for us to attack." When Wu Song was dispatched by the Song Army's naval division, he knew that this attack had failed, and in order for the second attack to be successful, he would make such a risky strategy.
"Listen to the general's orders." The guards nodded.
"Good. Wait a minute, I'll pretend to retreat, and then break into the inner city from there. Wu Song pointed to the right, where by the river, there is a bush, as long as you hide in the grass, you can mix into Xiangyang through the ruins, as long as there is a secret guard to answer, there is no problem to come. At that moment, he took out a cannon from his bosom and lit it on the ground, he heard a loud noise, and the loud roar hid all the shouts and killings around him, which was a signal to contact the secret guards in the city.
At this time, on the river in the distance, dozens of warships slowly descended, and it was faintly visible that many Song troops were clamoring down on the warships, and these people got Liu Qi's order and were ready to storm the pontoon bridge on the shore. It can be expected that the pontoon bridge made of bamboo rafts by the Tang army is not at all the opponent of these naval warships.
"Put." On the north shore, the face of the master is gloomy, if it is not for his own calculation error, where can such a thing happen, these sailor warships will go down the river, and they will soon be able to impact the pontoon, the pontoon bridge is secondary, but the key is that there are still a lot of soldiers on the pontoon, and they will be unlucky behind. The only thing you can do is to use iron bullets or stone bullets to destroy the naval warship, even if you can only stop it. At the very least, it can slow down the enemy's attack.
Bursts of explosions came, screams on the river were heard again and again, these warships were shot one after another, even if the soldiers on board were protected by shields, they still could not resist the attack of stone bullets, and let out bursts of wails, killing and wounding countless people for a while.
But in the end, it was a big ship, and it was difficult for the stone bullet to cause fatal damage to the warship in a short time, and in the end, the area covered by the stone bullet was relatively narrow, and the sailor warship of the Song army was still indomitable to kill the past.
On the pontoon bridge, the Tang army was evacuating in an orderly manner, but when the Song army ships came, it still caused a panic, and for a while, the escape of the escape, the jumping of the river, the scene was extremely chaotic.
Seeing this, Liu Qi on the opposite side couldn't help laughing, even Shi Lei was smiling, but they didn't notice that Wu Song took a hundred and ten personal guards to jump into the river in the chaos, broke into Xiangyang City from the ruins on the other side, and then was welcomed into the city by the secret guards who rushed to hear the news.
"Kill it, kill all these guys, damn it, and think about attacking Xiangyang City." At this time, there were still one hundred and ten Tang troops at the city gate who were resisting bravely, buying time for the robe behind them, and there were countless casualties for a while.
"Brothers, whatever you are afraid of, kill all of them, kill one is enough, kill two and you will earn, kill them." Among the remnants of the Tang army, a captain roared loudly, and he took the lead in killing and pounced on the Song army on the opposite side. The Tang army behind him also rose up and killed the Song army. Even in the face of an enemy that was ten times more than a hundred times greater, the Tang army was still desperate.
"Damn." Liu Qi's face was gloomy, and he shouted loudly: "Kill all these people." He glanced at the other side and found that Wu Song was gone, and thought that Wu Song had fled, so he could only scold a few times.
