Chapter 699: The battle under the city of Yangzhou is drummed

The continuous charge of the Song army, like a surging tide, was unstoppable, and the Jin army had to retreat backwards after stubborn resistance.

Liu Meng, who had been shocked out of his internal injuries, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth with the help of several lieutenants, and then he was very unwilling to order a retreat!

Liu Meng knew very well in his heart that this situation would not retreat now, the Song army had an amazingly powerful firearm to cover the way, and hand-to-hand combat had a devilish army such as Zhanyun Iron Cavalry to strangle.

And these are simply not able to resist them, even if they have a slight advantage in the number of troops, but so what?

The victory of a real war is not directly related to the number of troops.

The rout army surrounded Liu Meng and quickly retreated to the north, because Liu Meng was ready to withdraw to Yangzhou City, with the advantage of Yangzhou City's high water depth, hoping to resist the Song army's northward advance.

Liu Meng led the remnants of the tens of thousands of troops to retreat quickly, leaving an elite cavalry to block the Song army's way.

When the Battle Cloud Iron Cavalry and the Jin Army cavalry collided together, it was like two opposing waves colliding.

But these were obviously useless, Liu Meng thought that the cavalry left behind would be able to hold back the Song army for a while, but when he withdrew from the battlefield for only thirty miles, this brave Jin cavalry was all wiped out on the battlefield.

"Marshal, the Song army is about to catch up!"

"What! So fast? So ......"

While Liu Meng was stunned, he also got an answer in his heart, that is, the cavalry left behind had been wiped out.

But fortunately, Yangzhou City is not far from the north bank of the Yangtze River, so after running all the way, he finally arrived at Yangzhou City: "Soldiers, Yangzhou City is ahead, follow this commander into the city to resist the Song army!" ”

At this time, the Jin army was eager to grow two more legs, for fear that if one was not careful, he would be chased by the Song army behind.

It was not so much that they were afraid of the Song army, but that they were afraid of the Song army's firearms and the devil's army.

When the deboning steel knife disintegrated the bodies of their companions, they could no longer bear the slightest anger, because the chill rising in their hearts had already chilled them to the bone marrow!

When Liu Meng led the remaining tens of thousands of troops to prepare to enter the city, the gate of Yangzhou City was tightly closed, and the arrow directly pierced the throat and died.

Immediately after not giving Liu Meng time to reflect, a rain of arrows on the city tower has already explained a qiē!

"Not good! Draw from the bottom of the kettle! ”

Liu Meng looked at the merciless rain of arrows on the tower of Yangzhou City, and suddenly realized that his head was buzzing and he almost fell off the horse.

Liu Meng knew that this time it was completely planted, and Yangzhou of his nest garrison was lost, which was not only a strategic mistake, but also an extremely severe challenge to the current situation.

"Marshal, what should I do now, the Song army in the rear will ......"

"Attack the city with all your might, and you must take Yangzhou City for Ben Shuai!"

"Yes!"

At the sound of an order, all the armies began to attack Yangzhou City with all their might.

And at this moment, standing on the tower of the city is the head of the Quanzhen Sect, and in addition to Ma Yu, Sun Buer and other senior brothers, there are many disciples and sect members of the Quanzhen Sect.

Although these disciples were dressed in military uniforms and armor, they wore Taoist gossip marks around their waists, and these people applied for a cold battle one by one, because this was the first battle of their Quanzhen Sect to assist the imperial court.

Ma Yu looked at the golden soldiers who poured up like a tide, and then dusted off the dust and said, "Senior brother, let's welcome His Majesty here!" ”

"What the senior brother said is very ......"

Qiu Chuji stroked his beard, and then said solemnly to the disciples of Quanzhen, "Pass the order, go down and resist the attack of the Jin soldiers with all your might, and be sure to delay until the arrival of the imperial army!" ”

"Yes!"

The tense offensive and defensive battle has finally begun......

Although there are not many troops defending the city in Yangzhou City, Liu Meng's army is a field army and does not carry siege equipment, so it is also difficult to quickly take Yangzhou City, which is high and deep!

Liu Meng commanded the army to attack the city below, but his heart was as anxious as a fire, he didn't care much about the guilt of Yangzhou City, after all, a city and a place are dead things, and they can be recaptured if they are lost, and what is lost is just a Yangzhou city.

But the dilemma he is facing now is how to save this Song army under his command!

And at this time, the sound of horses' hooves in the rear shook her heart and touched everyone's hearts!

There was a thunderous sound that shook the earth.

There is no need to probe the horse, and there is no need to look back, everyone knows in their hearts that this is the cavalry of the Song army chasing here!

All siege fortifications came to a standstill as they faced the much stronger Song army.

The gate of Yangzhou City in front was closed to block the way back, and there was a strong Song army in the rear. Liu Meng had no choice but to reorganize the formation and prepare for the arrival of the Song army.

However, Liu Meng, who was proficient in battle formation, faced this situation, while reorganizing the army to resist the Song army, he also ordered the army to quickly withdraw from the city of Yangzhou.

Because he didn't want to be stabbed by the unknown army behind him in the process of the duel with the Song army.

The tactical idea is perfect, but the reality is extremely cruel, because the vanguard army of the Song army is too fast to ride on the ground, which has been fully verified in the northwest battlefield.

"Your Majesty has an order, no grenades are allowed!"

"Your Majesty has an order, capture the commander of the Jin Army, Liu Meng!"

"Your Majesty has an order, and there is no forgiveness for killing!"

“……”

Military orders have been conveyed to the army, and now the wind has accelerated the outbreak of war!

Bright!

The moat was surging, swaying wave after wave of blood.

There are a total of 200,000 Jin troops in Jiangbei, in addition to the original 20,000 Jin soldiers in Yangzhou City, and the 50,000 raiding cavalry on the north bank of the Yangtze River, now Liu Meng only has 80,000 troops left in the corner of the city to resist stubbornly!

After repeated fierce battles, there were too many soldiers of the two armies who died here, and the blood melted the ice and snow, converging into a blood lake with a radius of dozens of miles.

The cavalry charged, the infantry fell into battle, stirring up waves of blood, countless blood flashes, indescribable beauty, and the red bewitching was even more shocking.

These blood stained with white snow are not only those of Jin Bing, but also those of the Han family who died generously.

The Song army besieged the Liao army and entered the endless slaughter!

"Whew! I never thought that the imperial army would be so brave, if I had such iron-blooded soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, why would I be reduced to the broken mountains and rivers! Ma Yu on the city tower looked down at the battle outside the city, and he couldn't help but gasp because he saw the madness of the Song army in this battle.

Qiu Chuji nodded slightly and said, "Yes, epidemics can be contagious, thoughts can spread, and in the same way, bloodlust can also spread......"
