Chapter 220: Five Thousand Against Ten Thousand

The cannons fired in a disorderly manner completely shattered the confidence of the Yuan soldiers who were still on the dock, and those who were looking for the treatment of the wounded turned their heads and ran, and those who found a certain part of the combined bow hurriedly turned around, and they could turn around with one and go back, who was still stupid and standing here waiting to be blown up by the cannon.

The Hongyi cannon began to adjust the firing angle, and the range of the cannon began to extend to the cavalry team that had already run away for a while, and after more than a dozen artillery bombardments, the neat cavalry brigade was also dispersed, and even the men and horses suffered another 100 casualties.

Guarded by a group of personal soldiers, Dong Wenbing beat his horse and fled wildly, and the Yuan soldiers who did not ride horses also spread their legs and ran back to Humen Town desperately, and the rout was eye-catching. Until today, they were a group of proud Mongol soldiers, who galloped across the battlefield with their excellent horse and archery skills, and who would never fear any enemy.

But now they look like losers, they don't even have the courage to look back at the enemy's situation, they only have one thought, that is, run faster, and if they run faster, the shells will not blow themselves up.

"General Du, the captains are asking, Humen Town is two miles away, and it is still within the range of our artillery, do you want to ......?"

Du Hu said categorically: "No, you can only attack the Yuan soldiers in your sight, the people in Humen Town are innocent, even if you blow up and injure one, it is a big crime, General Zhao knows that he has to break your legs." ”

"Yes, General, I'll give an order forbidding the firing of artillery into the village!"

"Well, these Yuan soldiers are still in the land of my Great Song Dynasty, they can't run away, they will be defeated by us sooner or later, don't be in a hurry!"

Du Hu and Zhao Tianyou have been together for a long time, knowing his strange temper, the prince and general are not worth mentioning in his eyes, but an ordinary person can make him angry and angry.

Is that the right thing to do? Du Hu didn't understand it very well at first, and felt that it was appropriate for a civil and military official to die for the emperor's life, not to mention that an ordinary person, life or death was a trivial matter.

When they were pirates on Sanshan Island, it was not particularly obvious, but after arriving on Hong Kong Island, Zhao Tianyou's behavior began to gradually affect them. After hearing and seeing, they all learned that they should protect the safety of every citizen, which is the duty of a soldier, and it is as important as protecting the emperor and the dynasty.

At this time, countless large and small ships came from the direction of Panyu, and this was the cavalry led by Ling Zhen to support Du Hu to prepare to go ashore to fight. At the beginning, there was a serious shortage of boats, and after passing the news from the nearby fishermen and people, the fishing boats within dozens of miles rushed over, even if they helped the Song army to transport a batch of horses.

Although the time exceeded the agreement, but the 5,000 men and horses also rushed to Humen Town, although they missed the spectacular situation of watching the artillery battle, but there were still a lot of Yuan soldiers scattered everywhere on the entire dock, and they had to send people ashore to clear them.

"General Du, congratulations! The results are amazing! There was no way that there were too few ships in my hand and the capacity was insufficient, so I didn't catch up with the excitement. ”

Ling Zhen looked at the scene on the dock and shook his head, regretting that he didn't catch up with the scene, such a spectacular situation on the dock showed how amazing the cannon bombardment salvo was at that time.

"It's all the credit of our Hongyi cannon, and personal ability is no longer important! However, General Ling, the Yuan soldiers on the dock have already fled and gathered in the village of Humen Town, and the number of cavalry is still more than 10,000......"

Ling Zhen clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly and said, "General Du, no matter how many Yuan soldiers there are, I am not afraid, they have all been beaten like this by you, and it is not a rush and a collapse." I hope I can hand over Dong Wenbing, so that I can match your merits! ”

"General Ling deal with it carefully, the artillery on my side will sweep the formation for you, if there is any case, return to the dock as soon as possible."

"Thank you, General Du, Ling has gone!"

Du Hu also sent the soldiers on the ship to go ashore together to clean up the remnants of the Yuan soldiers on the dock, and clean up the discarded swords and weapons everywhere, these things are good treasures. With them to arm the recruits, they can save a lot of materials from the blacksmith's workshop, free up the steel used to make swords and cast two more cannons, and strengthen the artillery unit as soon as possible, so as to defeat the Yuan soldiers.

Du Hu's army has fought two large-scale naval battles, and in addition to winning the battle, he has also trained all the recruits on the ship, and the skills are familiar at the same time, the confidence of these recruits is high. The strength of the South China Sea Fleet is growing every day, and there is not much time left for the first batch of recruits, and it is necessary to familiarize themselves with and master several types of weapons on the warships in the shortest possible time, and in principle, everyone must master them, from launching actual combat to repairing and maintaining techniques.

Once they are familiar with it, they will become veterans on another ship, responsible for imparting them all kinds of skills, and the best talent can even become captains. Therefore, everyone is studying and training hard, and Du Hu is also assigning personnel and positions as much as possible, so that they can learn to think in actual combat and learn to fight independently.

It took a while for people to shout and neigh, and hundreds of large and small ships took turns to dock before Ling Zhen's cavalry team was sent to the dock.

"All the team, please give the order from the general!"

Ling Zhen wore a black coat, a blue-gray high-headed horse on his hip, and a two-handed giant sword on his back, and walked in front of the cavalry team.

"Brothers, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and cavalry in Humen Town, and we are going to destroy them now, but we only have 5,000 warriors, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! ”

"Kill all the Tartars, kill all the Tartars!"

Ling Zhen roared loudly: "Okay, you are all my good brothers, use the steel knife in your hand to cut off the heads of a few more Yuan people, and rush with me!" ”

The vanguard was struck by a thousand sword and shield bearers, who lifted the leather shield from the horse's back with his left hand, and raised it gently towards the sky, roaring loudly in his mouth.

"Roar, roar! Kill all the Tartars, kill all the Tartars! ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a group of riders followed, although there were only 5,000 cavalry, but the sound of the earth-shattering momentum was like a rainbow, compared with the Yuan soldiers who had just been defeated and retreated, it was simply the original cowardly Song army reversed.

"General, the big thing is not good, there are hundreds of boats on the dock, all of them are cavalry and war horses of the Song army, and it will be too late if you don't leave!"

Dong Wenbing had just recovered from the panic of the pier shelling, and he didn't want to stay in Humen Town anymore.

But before he could catch his breath, the cavalry of the Song army arrived, which made him even more incomprehensible, the cavalry of the Song army had already been defeated, where did this cavalry come from? But he thought about it again, such a powerful cannon Song army has it, and a little cavalry is not a trivial matter, but now his subordinates are unstable and can no longer fight a tough battle, so why don't you take this opportunity to evacuate!

"Order the brigade to withdraw, and Shi Huijie will take two thousand men and horses from the headquarters to cover."
