Chapter 495 can be discussed
Finally, Tong Guan's expectation did not work, the rain began to lighten, Tong Guan looked at Yangzhou City full of unwillingness, the sky brightened, the rain began to stop, Tong Guan hesitated whether to try in the attack.
At this time, the battle in the north of Yangzhou City, the North City Gate was not as fierce as the West City Gate, after all, it was only for the purpose of diversion, so after the first round of attacks was unsuccessful, the next few rounds of attacks were really just used for the diversion of the system.
Although it is just a containment appearance, but the three-day attack also makes the soldiers tired and exhausted, after all, fighting is not acting, even if it is used as a containment force, then it must play the role of containment No, otherwise you don't do anything, how can the people in the city be afraid?
So in three days, the army here also launched several rounds of decent attacks and once attacked the city wall, but unfortunately in the end they were all defeated again, and after this attack, everyone also retreated and repaired according to the custom.
While the army on this side was retreating, waiting for Tong Guan's order to retreat, but retreating, the gate of Yangzhou City suddenly opened, and the general under the city immediately realized that it was not good, and this Ryukyu army was going to raid him.
The advance and retreat of this soldier needs to change the formation, especially this kind of siege warfare, it is not that you can retreat, you can rush when you say that you can rush, often the transmission of orders takes time, and the temporary change of formation of soldiers also takes time, so when the Song army at the north gate is not ready, the attack of the Ryukyu army's troops out of the city begins.
If it was just an attack by this small force, everyone sacrificed part of the army to adjust the formation, and after a while, the castle saw that their side was ready, and the other side retreated, and the matter passed, but this time it did not seem to be the case, and the attack of the Ryukyu army seemed to be very resolute.
Just when the general was puzzled and couldn't figure out what the Ryukyu army meant, the north suddenly received a report from the scouts that the outer troops were under attack.
Under the front and rear flanking attacks, although the Song army also wanted to resist, the exhausted soldiers, the chaotic formation, and the formation quickly collapsed under the front and rear flanking attacks, and the soldiers began to rush towards the west gate in a panic, hoping to resist the opponent's attack with the strength of their own team.
The attacking Ryukyu army did not step forward to strangle, but followed behind the team to chase and drive, trying to use these defeated troops to break the opponent's Western Front army formation, so as to break through the defense line of the opposite Song army in one fell swoop.
The battle at the North Gate lasted less than half an hour, and when Tong Guan heard that the North Gate army was being attacked from the front and rear, he knew that things were going to be bad, and immediately tried to adjust the direction of the defense, and then the army began to retreat slowly.
However, the West Gate, which had been sealed a few days ago, was quietly removed from the barrier earlier today, and 20,000 or 30,000 enemy troops were killed in the city at once, disrupting the retreat plan of the front line.
In desperation, Tong Guan had no choice but to mobilize troops to block the Ryukyu army that was killing in front, while establishing a defensive line facing the north and mobilizing troops to try to support the troops at the north gate.
But the army of the north gate collapsed too quickly, Tong Guan had just established a simple defense line, and the defeated army in the north rushed to this side, looking at the panicked flow of people, as well as the Ryukyu army behind the sheep, Tong Guan was also frightened and didn't know what to do.
And the 30,000 people who rushed out of the city, the leader didn't know what kind of monster it was, dressed in iron armor and holding a double hammer, no matter who stood in front of him, he couldn't help the power of his hammer.
Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, Tong Guan made a decision and ordered the general to command the rest of the war, while he himself took 10,000 troops to the west.
Under the impact of the defeated army on the North Road, the Chinese army's large array only lasted for an hour before it collapsed, and the reason for the collapse was that Zhang Yuanba broke through the opponent's Chinese army again and cut down the opponent's handsome banner.
Since the Ryukyu army had won the battle, it immediately launched a pursuit, and under the division and encirclement, it pursued for twenty or thirty miles before it began to arrange a defensive line to search for the Song army that did not come and escaped.
I was busy until midnight, and news came from Jianye that Tong Guan fled into Jianye City with 10,000 defeated soldiers, Zhang San just smiled, Zhang San thought that he would run back to Tokyo in one go, but I didn't expect this guy to just run to Jianye.
Jianye City has recently been threatened by the 30,000 Ryukyu Army, and has been strengthening its military strength recently, and now there are more than 80,000 people in the forbidden army, and after the destruction of the Jianye Naval Division, the Great Song Dynasty re-established the Naval Division in Wuhu, and the upstream shipyard began to build new ships ready to go down the river at any time.
So Tong Guan's run to Jianye is a good idea, this also proves that he is not a complete idiot, the battle is smoother than imagined After a night of statistics, in addition to the successful escape of the Southern Route Army, the remaining two roads collapsed, and seventy percent of the rout soldiers were captured and captured.
In this way, the Yangzhou campaign that lasted for nearly two months came to an end, and in the past two months, Zhang San successively eliminated the forbidden army to aid 100,000 troops in Hangzhou, the forbidden army levied 200,000 troops in Yangzhou, the second reinforcement of 100,000 troops in Taizhou, and more than 60,000 people in the Jiankang Water Division.
Friends are breaking Suzhou, Hangzhou and other cities to eliminate the forbidden army There are nearly 50,000 people, and it is estimated that less than 70,000 of them escaped in the end, so it seems that Zhang San has killed more than 450,000 forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty.
This is a terrifying number, Zhang San's Ryukyu army also emptied its family funds for this battle, not only pulled out the soldiers who had only completed three months of primary training to defend the city, but also transferred most of the troops from the navy's warships to complete the current campaign goal.
But this is only less than one-third of the troops of the Great Song Dynasty, the forbidden army in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty has as many as 600,000, and only 200,000 have been mobilized in the three transfers, and the other troops are all drawn from all over the country, and the Great Song Dynasty also has a strong western army, as well as a garrison in the north to defend the Liao State.
So Zhang San also recognized the reality, if he didn't leave in these places, he could only have a war of attrition with the Great Song Dynasty, and the ending might be that both sides hung up together, so Zhang San felt that it was time for him to talk to Tong Guan, and the Great Song Dynasty monarchs should also know their own strength and be able to look at their requirements calmly.
After Zhang San made a decision, he asked Xu Guanzhong to see Zhu Mian, the father and son of the Zhu family were caught by Zhang San in Suzhou, this so-called king of Jiangnan has no future demeanor, so after being arrested, he was also scared of and urine, Zhang San was still very concerned about this person, I heard that Zhang San immediately let them transport them to Yangzhou and put them in prison, in order to use them at this moment, and it can be regarded as finding a suitable reason to release the two.
