"Put!" With Wang Dan's roar, the Song army in front of him immediately let go of the rope in his hand, and a truncated log immediately rolled down the hillside, and the Jiaozhi people who were attacking along the mountain road below saw the logs that rolled down, and immediately panicked and ran away, but unfortunately their two legs could not run the rolling of the log anyway, and as a result, many people vomited blood on the spot, and even if they did not die, they were seriously injured.

A pile of logs rolled down, and this wave of Jiaozhi people who attacked upwards were also repelled again, and they didn't dare to make any more moves for the time being, which also made Wang Dan laugh out loud with great relief, and then said a few words to the heads around him, and then turned around and came to a flat land halfway up the mountain, where Zhao Hao and Cao Commander and others were already waiting for him.

Speaking of Zhao Hao, they were really unlucky, they originally planned to stay in the city of Thang Long Fu and wait for rescue, but what they never expected was that Li Gande had already dug an aqueduct and led the water of several tributaries of the Fuliang River to Thang Long Fu City, fortunately, the terrain of Thang Long Mansion was relatively high, so that the water pouring into the city was not very much, and there were not even any casualties, but it also made Thang Long Mansion become a country.

In addition, what is even worse is that because the water came too suddenly, Wang Dan and they had no preparations at all, and as a result, a lot of materials were flooded, and other things were better, the key is that many firearms were stained with water and could not be used temporarily, so that Wang Dan and their Song army's combat effectiveness plummeted, after all, firearms have always been the signature weapons of the Song army, and generally as long as firearms appear on the battlefield, they have almost laid the foundation for the victory of the Great Song army.

On the day that Thang Long Mansion was flooded, Li Qiande commanded the army to launch a fierce attack on Wang Dan and them, this time it was not a small fight before, but a real strong attack, although the combat effectiveness of these Jiaozhi people was not strong. But after all, the number was several times that of theirs, and the loss of most of the firearms made Wang Dan feel very uncomfortable when they were fighting, so they couldn't resist for a while, and the battle line retreated again and again.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Hao was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground again. However, fortunately, Wang Dan and Cao Commander made these veterans on the battlefield, after shrinking the defensive line, finally stabilized the battle line, and Li Qiande could no longer advance half a step, which finally made Zhao Hao recover some confidence.

However, although the battle line was stabilized, the city of Thang Long was full of stagnant water, and there was not even a place to sleep, and what was worse was that Li Gande actually threw the dead body into the city with a trebuchet. These corpses soaked in water will not take long for them to rot and stink, causing a plague, which can be described as extremely vicious.

In this case, Wang Dan and the others immediately discussed it, and then proposed to Zhao Hao to withdraw from Shenglong Mansion City, because staying in the city any longer would only be a dead end, and they also thought about the location of the retreat. Just southwest of Thang Long Castle, there is a relatively high peak. The flood certainly didn't reach the mountain, and the steep hill made it easier for them to defend.

Zhao Hao was already frightened by the six gods at this time, and he was even more eager to leave the Shenglong Mansion City, which was full of stagnant water and dead corpses, so he immediately nodded in agreement, so Wang Dan and the others immediately gathered their troops. Finding the opportunity to break out of Li Qiande's encirclement, and then retreating to this mountain peak while engaging Li Qiande's pursuit, they now took advantage of the steepness of the mountain to repel Li Qiande's numerous attacks. However, it also paid a lot of casualties.

"Danzi, how are the casualties on your side?" As soon as Wang Dan came to the flat land on the mountainside, the commander of Cao, who was sitting there and gnawed fruits, opened his mouth and asked, their food was already very tight, and they lost some supplies when they retreated from the city, including a batch of grain, fortunately, the mountains are full of jungles, wild fruits are everywhere, and there are a lot of prey, which can alleviate their food crisis.

"There are basically no casualties, Li Gande sent troops to attack so many times in vain, and it is estimated that he has already been discouraged, these attacks are only tentative, I estimate that they will not last long before they will retreat." Wang Dan also sat down at this time and picked up a fruit and nibbled on it, their food was almost finished, and now they could only rely on fruits to satisfy their hunger.

"That's good, calculate the time, it is estimated that General Huyan and their reinforcements should also arrive, I hope that Li Qiande's army will not retreat, and they will be wiped out by then." Commander Cao spoke again when he heard this.

"It's beautiful, Li Qiande is not a fool, he will definitely not stay and wait for us to attack from both sides." At this time, the short commander rolled his eyes, and then continued to lower his head to change the wound on his leg, the day before yesterday in order to block the attacking Jiaozhi rebels, he personally went into battle to fight with the enemy, but was slashed by the enemy, fortunately the injury was not very serious, and the wound showed no signs of inflammation.

"But speaking of which, Li Qiande's scheming is really deep enough, he actually dug an aqueduct a long time ago, and flooded the entire Shenglong Mansion, we have withdrawn, but it is estimated that those Jiaozhi people in the city will be miserable." Commander Cao spoke again at this time, this time he suffered a big loss from Li Qiande, and he was also very unconvinced, but unfortunately he was not as good as others now, so he could only put all his hope on Hu Yanping and their reinforcements.

"Generals, when will our reinforcements come?" At this moment, Zhao Hao, who had been sitting there without making a sound, finally had a weak voice, his pale face was a little sickly, when he retreated from the city before, he was not injured, but after coming to the mountain, he filled his hunger with all kinds of wild fruits every day, Wang Dan and their soldiers were nothing, but Zhao Hao's delicate stomach couldn't stand it, and he had been having diarrhea for the past few days, and he felt that if he continued to pull it like this, he would have to die here.

"Your Highness, don't be anxious, Li Qiande released water to flood the vicinity of Shenglong Mansion, which will definitely affect General Huyan's march, so it is normal to wait a few more days." Wang Dan spoke again at this time.

"Well, I hope so!" Zhao Hao now has no strength to regret it anymore, now he only hopes that Hu Yanping's reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible to save him from this dire situation, and he has already made up his mind, as long as he can return to the deep-water port safely, he will no longer care about anything to appease Yuezhou, and immediately let people prepare ships to go north, and after returning to the capital, he will stay there honestly, and will definitely not step out of the capital for half a step.
