Chapter 273: Collapsed Morale

Even if it is the most expensive treasure knife, once it loses its sharp blade, then its value is comparable to that of a burning stick, and in the same way, this Yuan cavalry that has lost its courage and counterattack in haste and chaos is not comparable to the weak Song army's combat strength in the past.

The cavalry of the Song army, which was like a beast out of the cage, only took an instant to break up the formation of the Yuan army's resistance, and the cavalry saber built on Hong Kong Island showed the advantage of improving technology in the fight.

Then the power of the horse's sprint, the head-on sabre and the scimitar of the Yuan cavalry intersected, and the scimitar was split on the spot, which was enough for three percent, that is, it could fight with the Song army's saber for a few rounds, and the scimitar was also scarred, and this knife was basically wasted.

In terms of the process of steelmaking and the process of quenching and sharpening, the current level of Hong Kong Island has greatly exceeded that of the Mongol Yuan, which is comparable to the Damascus knife with its complex forging process, and is also comparable to the Japanese forging technology introduced and developed from the Tang Dynasty.

However, at present, the technology of Hong Kong Island is only the initial development, and a balance has been found between large-scale production and excellence, with the proficiency of the process, the technology on the assembly line is mature, and the practical performance of the saber is likely to be greatly improved.

These Song cavalry were full of fighting spirit, in addition to the superiority in morale and equipment, their numbers also prevailed, 6,000 out of the cage of the tiger defeated against 4,000 remnants, that scene is already Suo Duo has no way to watch anymore.

"General, you guys retreat first, leaving us in the stall for a while!"

"Let's go, General!"

In the rapid urging of his subordinates, the Song army had already broken through the defense line, and under the fierce offensive, the Yuan soldiers fell one after another, and were soon surrounded and slaughtered, and some scattered and fled from the battlefield, and soon there was only Suo Duo and hundreds of people around him still resisting.

"Let's go, General, there's no chance if you don't leave!"

Suo Duo stayed in hesitation, he was reluctant to leave all the last strength, and led a few hundred people to try to rush out of the Song army that had been surrounded, but he was repulsed after several attempts. At this time, as long as Suo Duo turns around and escapes, there may be a glimmer of life, if the Song army is surrounded on all sides, it will be difficult to fly at that time.

"That's it! Walk! ”

Sodo flicked his horse's head, signaled to his closest guard, and under the cover of other soldiers, he turned his horse's head and fled to the east.

"Give me chase! Can't let that guy run away! ”

Ling Zhen slashed the Yuan soldiers who were blocking him off his horse with a knife, and chased after dozens of cavalrymen, following closely in the direction of Suo Duo's escape, he had already given Zhao Tianyou a package ticket, and it was absolutely impossible to let him go.

At this time, the battle outside the northern city entered the most fierce white heat, countless lives were wiped out in the blink of an eye, when too many deaths had been seen in their eyes, the soldiers felt indifferent to everything that happened around them, only a belief left in their heads.

Kill, kill to the city wall, the enemy stands so high, we can only win if we climb to the top of the city wall! Like moths throwing themselves into the fire, these soldiers kept pouring towards the ladder of corpses, and only there was a chance for them to climb the city.

However, the cannonballs and arrows of the Song army in the city were like scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens, constantly scattering to the most active positions of each Yuan soldier, turning those brave soldiers into corpses. It is also strange to say, why the interval between the Song army's cannons is getting shorter and shorter, and even the explosion heard in the ears is almost not stopping.

Both sides have already exerted their full strength, and the production capacity of Hong Kong Island, which has been replenished with abundant supplies, has recently been concentrated on two hard currencies, flowering shells and armor-piercing cones, to ensure sufficient supplies for this campaign. The firearms battalion and the city guards in the city are very bold, and the cannonballs and bundles of arrows that can't be shot are enough, that is their confidence, no matter how many people you have in the Yuan army, before we finish shooting, don't think about moving forward.

It's like a tug-of-war, when both sides are anxiously exerting their strength, they feel that their strength is almost the same as that of the other party, and they even have the ability to turn the tide of the battle in the next moment and defeat the opponent completely.

There should be more than half of the soldiers in the Yuan army who are not afraid of death and fight desperately, this is the spirit they have cultivated in the tribe since childhood, because when they were young, one defeat was enough to kill the entire tribe by others, so they developed the habit of participating in the war to do their best.

Of course, the first to be killed or wounded in battle damage was this group of people, as the brave soldiers slowly lost their lives and wounded, the Yuan army was able to gather fewer and fewer troops under the city, and none of them were able to climb up the ladder with their lives.

"It's time for the fire, brothers! Yuangou has no strength, give me the aim point, and pick the generals who command the battle! ”

Liu Changhai walked back and forth in the city, constantly cheering for the soldiers of the firearms battalion. Although they suffered very few direct casualties under the arrows of the Yuan army, they were burned by the firing of their own artillery, and many people were burned by the barrel of the cannon.

He also noticed that the battle situation had entered a critical moment, and after the last bit of combat power of the Yuan army was consumed, the remaining people were afraid that they would have to flee the battlefield, and when there was no hope of victory at all, the loyal soldiers were not willing to die in vain.

At the edge of the battlefield, a small group of more than 20 yuan soldiers, who were far away from the siege point of the ladder, leaned against the back of a pile of dead horses, and dodged the fire of the city's artillery fire. On their left, there is a small road, which is a path that the people who used to go out of the city to work in agriculture pass through all the year round, leading to the direction of Datang Town.

The small leaders of the two teams were silent, quietly communicating with their eyes and movements, leading them to run along the path, and it would not take long for them to leave the battlefield. Although the fate of the deserters who are caught is also death, but after all, there is a chance to die, especially their small team, life and death are still relatively united on weekdays, and most people have already expressed their unwillingness to die here.

"Get on your horse and follow the path, right away!"

After a brief pause, the group of soldiers turned on their horses and galloped down the path without hesitation.

On the frenzied battlefield where more than 100,000 people participated in the war, the small movements of these 20 or so people were inconspicuous, and the impact on the war could even be ignored, but some people in the fighting team around them could see it clearly.

"Big brother, someone ran away from the path over there, what should we do?"

"What else can I do? My brothers are almost dead, and if you want to live, follow me and run! ”

"Thank you, big brother, the brothers all want to withdraw, but the Qianfu is still ......"

"Cover me, watch my actions, once you succeed, tell the brothers to withdraw slowly, I am waiting for you in front!"

A commander who was about to give an anxious command suddenly noticed several of his men rushing through the stabs.

"What are you doing?"

"Poof!"

"Ah, you ......"

The corpse of the commander fell to the ground, and the soldiers surrounding him turned their horses and galloped away in the direction of the path......
