Chapter 351: Desperate news
After two consecutive nights of shelling, the soldiers of the Yuan army in the city suffered heavy casualties, the hard laborers worked all day and half died, Harry Chiduo's energy was also exhausted, and the bombed city wall had no intention of repairing it.
However, just when the Yuan army was slack, the infantry of the Song army, which had been waiting for a long time, appeared, and almost did not encounter any effective obstruction, they rushed into the city of Zhuozhou from the two collapsed city walls, occupying a large number of fortified strongholds near the gap in the city wall.
At this time, although Harry Chiduo was a little desperate, he still had nearly 50,000 main soldiers in his hands, and it was impossible to capture it without his hands, and let the Song army occupy Zhuozhou City, so he concentrated his forces to launch counterattacks again and again against the Song army entering the city.
The infantry of the Song army is inconspicuous and does not show its outstanding role in recent battles, but their strength is also increasing day by day, and they have never stopped evolving. After all, they are the cradle of all other arms, and they need to constantly provide high-quality soldiers, and most of the most basic and solid training is completed in the infantry.
After entering the city, the two sides launched a difficult positional battle, the power of artillery at this time was no longer able to support the Song army, the Song army and the Yuan army entering the city have been staggered, the positions and fortifications have been mixed together, the shells can not distinguish the enemy from the enemy, it is inevitable that they will be injured by mistake.
The soldiers of the Yuan army have been cultivated as warriors since childhood, and their physical fitness and hand-to-hand combat ability are above the Song army, as well as their own flexible ways of fighting.
But now the Song army's team combat ability has grown rapidly, and the armor-piercing cone and iron-shelled thunderbolt have given a great combat power bonus, especially the extensive use of the armor-piercing cone, which has overwhelmed the opponent in the Yuan army's advantageous projects.
Although some people are eliminated because they do not have enough arm strength to effectively use the strong bow, most of the soldiers have improved their strength very quickly, and more and more people can use the two-stone strong bow.
At a distance of dozens of paces, if the two soldiers of the Yuan and Song dynasties met, it was the soldiers of the Song army who fell nine out of nine in the past, and the accuracy and strength of the bow and arrow were still lethal, and the quality of individual soldiers was very different from that of the Yuan army.
But now the Song army dares to say that it can have an eighty percent victory rate, and the military uniforms and armor of the Song soldiers have all been renewed, all of which have been redesigned by Hong Kong Island, and are made of metal and animal skin fibers, which greatly improves the ability to resist punctures.
At the same time, the armor-piercing cone is also constantly upgrading, while ensuring the sharpness and piercing ability, it slightly reduces the weight of its own arrows, allowing more bows to fire armor-piercing cones, and allowing more soldiers to skillfully use it to kill the enemy.
The improvement of the quality and level of these equipment has improved its own protection ability, and strengthened the strength of the means of attack, and the treatment of upgrading spears and shields at the same time can only be enjoyed by the infantry of the Song army.
The counterattack organized by the Yuan army in the city not only did not destroy the Song army that entered the city, but was defeated in the confrontation again and again, and after leaving a large number of corpses and retreating, the area occupied by the Song army continued to expand.
The soldiers of the firearms battalion were not idle, and some of the sub-guns were already unloaded from the gun trucks, dismantled into pieces by many soldiers, and carried to the city on their shoulders. If the infantry in the city was supported by artillery, it would be even more powerful, and no matter how much the Yuan army organized a counteroffensive, it would probably end in failure.
The generals around Harry Chiduo were sent out again and again, but the news of his return was bad news, and occasionally some generals who persisted for a long time were only more defeated, and his soldiers died more.
When the first sound of artillery fire sounded in the city, Hari Chiduo, who was still trying to counterattack, was completely desperate, and after a little discussion with two subordinates, he decided to abandon Zhuozhou and find an opportunity to break out of the city, preferably fleeing back to the direction of Yuan Dadu.
When they tried to gather their troops and escape through the North City Gate, which had not yet been attacked, the Song army opened fire outside the North City Gate, and after a few rounds, the North City Gate was half blown up, and their hopes of riding horses out of the city quickly were instantly dashed.
The four city gates were destroyed and the way out was blocked, and the remnants of the tens of thousands of troops had no way out, but they aroused the last blood, riding horses and wielding scimitars to rush the position of the Song army, trying to kill a bloody way out of the city.
Killed and wounded by cannonballs and armor-piercing cones in rows, the number of battle losses rose rapidly, and after a few hours, the corpses of the Yuan army were piled up in the streets and alleys, and the corpses of people and horses continued to fall towards the streets and alleys of Zhuozhou City with the extension of the Song army's battle line, and slowly approached the yamen, the state capital, which Harry Chiduo was holding onto.
At this time, Harry Chiduo finally understood that the Song army did not want to let them go from the beginning, and the rigorous and orderly way of fighting was aimed at killing every soldier of the Yuan army.
He followed in the footsteps of Kublai Khan for more than 20 years, and killed not 1,000 Han people but 800 with his own hands, and each of his soldiers was stained with the blood of other tribesmen. But with such a clear purpose, a well-planned combat method that does not leave a single gap, and a front-line soldier who is not greedy for merit or rashness, what kind of general must be this to bring out such an army, this is definitely not the previous Song Dynasty army, it must be from ......
Harry Chiduo couldn't think of a language that could describe the current Song army, the tactics that were not revealed, the invincible artillery, and the soldiers who were like fighting machines, he felt all this very deeply. Out of great loyalty to Kublai Khan, what he wants to do most now is to bring the information here to Yuan Dadu, no matter what the price is, and personally tell Kublai Khan that the Song army is invincible, and the wisest choice is to evacuate Dadu immediately and lead his people back to the grassland.
Only in this way can the lives of these tribesmen be saved, and the lives of the best Mongolian warriors and young people will not all die in the hands of the Song army, which will be a fatal blow to the entire Mongol Empire.
He knew that Kublai Khan had requisitioned more troops from the four khanates, not only to defend the capital of Yuan to the death, but also to wipe out all these Song troops, giving a resounding slap in the face to those who had the idea of peace in private.
Others may not know that Harry Chiduo has already experienced it firsthand, and knows that no matter how brave the Mongol soldiers are, they can no longer directly confront this Song Dynasty army, and there is only one way to die if they insist on going to war. To say that there is still a slight chance of victory, there is a slight possibility of victory, there is a move to the Mongolian steppe, which is the home of the Mongolian knights, fighting here, there is absolutely no possibility of victory.
Does he still have a chance to break through and tell Kublai Khan the news?
