The speed of the pursuit of the Songjiang army was far faster than Musa had imagined.

His original idea was to take a short rest here after taking Shuangyang Town. If it would take a day for the Matsue army to catch up, they would continue to break through the siege the next morning. After continuous maneuvers, look for terrain where you can ambush them, or take advantage of possible flaws in the Matsue army to strike back and move back to the disadvantage.

But the cavalry of the Songjiang army came only two hours later than them.

The front foot of the 4,000 guards had just entered Shuangyang Town, and before the city defense task was fully assigned, the cavalry group of the Songjiang Army chased after them with the sound of thunderous horses' hooves and stopped outside Shuangyang Town. Some of the arrangements they had made inside and outside the camp, as well as the deceptive tactics they had prepared to escape from the land, had little effect.

Fortunately, there is also a Shuangyang town nearby that can be utilized.

Musha was a little glad of his luck, even though Shuangyang Town was only a big town, but it had a complete fence to protect against pirate attacks, and there were even two earthen towers more than four meters high in each direction. It can be used for lookouts, or it can be arranged for a team of archers to shoot condescendingly.

If Shuangyang Town is replaced by an ordinary village, the cavalry chasing outside will directly launch a strong attack.

After all, after half a day and a night of rapid marching, the current Guards were at their weakest in history. Even if the cavalry of the Songjiang Army did not really charge, they only confronted each other from a distance, and made gestures from time to time to scare a few times, it was enough to completely drag down the guards after a long time.

"Sure enough, I still shouldn't die."

Reassuring himself with optimism and rejoicing, Musha quickly laid out the plan. The first wing temporarily used the walls of Shuangyang Town to confront the cavalry outside, and as long as the other party did not show its move to storm the town, it would not be ignored. The 2nd Wing scavenged grain and grass in the town, and forcibly requisitioned labor for their use, strengthened the walls, and built some improvised equipment to defend the city. The 3rd and 4th Wings immediately rested. Prepare to take turns defending the city.

One orderly order after another allowed the already tired guards to stabilize their position in Shuangyang Town.

Although there are nearly 10,000 people in this town, they can casually pull out hundreds of young and strong people when they encounter Haikou on weekdays. But how to be the opponent of these heavily armed elite soldiers. Despite the resentment in his heart, he could only obediently obey under the threat of the sword. At the same time, I look forward to the Songjiang army coming in and coming to exterminate this gang of thieves.

What they didn't know was that the four thousand Songjiang cavalry were now outside Shuangyang Town, but they didn't dare to attack rashly.

Although they knew that the Guards must have been exhausted to the extreme after fleeing here overnight, they were defending the wall after all. The cavalry did not carry any siege means, and if they forcibly stormed the town, they might not be able to pick up the cheap. Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry. These ace troops of the Omanis are going to be cornered, and they will still be able to bite them back.

Cavalry and infantry are exchanged for one, even if the other party is the ace of the Guards, it still does not earn!

After weighing, the 4,000 cavalry chose to keep an eye on the spot, waiting for the Ninghai Garrison Brigade to arrive by the way. Last night, the cunning Omanis used a trick to break through, if they can be nailed to this Shuangyang Town, then even if they fight to lose this big town, the Songjiang army will admit it.

It was getting dark.

The cavalry of the Songjiang Army chose to retreat five miles and keep an eye on it from a distance. The current state of the Omanis. It would be nice to be able to barely defend the city, and there was absolutely no extra body to march again overnight.

This landing battle in Quanzhou, which was unexpected by both sides at the same time, entered another stage.

Just one night later. At noon the next day, the Ninghai Garrison Brigade quickly caught up and restored the situation to the vicinity of Quanzhou Port. Combining infantry and cavalry, they watched the Omani guards. Both sides were afraid of each other, so they didn't take the initiative.

The only difference is that the situation of the Omanis is much better than it was then. After seizing Shuangyang Town, they have a capital that they can hold on to for a long time. Therefore, instead of rushing to evacuate the dead place as last night, we can take a relatively more relaxed posture and look for new opportunities while defending the city.

Seeing the Omanis begin to continuously strengthen the defenses of Shuangyang Town. Chai Yi, who arrived later, knew that the Omanis would probably not move again in a short time.

In the spirit of precaution. The Matsue Army still responded with the strictest possible response. Not only did he tear down the two stone bridges more than 20 miles away on the south side, but he also made the nearby towns within a radius of 50 miles vigilant Cheng Dù mentioned the highest. The four doors must be closed, and only two hours a day during the day can be opened.

With such a method, even if the Omanis break through overnight again, it will be difficult to succeed as lightly as Shuangyang Town. And the target town only needs to hold on for half a day, and the cavalry of the Songjiang Army can chase it again and encircle and annihilate it under the city!

After a very long period of time for both sides, the defense of Shuangyang Town has been greatly strengthened, and the Guards not only completely rested, but also threatened to "raid the house and kill people if they are not honest", repeatedly interrogated, compared with many parties, and improved the surrounding map from the local townspeople. However, they never found a second chance to break through.

The Third Brigade of the Dengzhou Garrison Division, which was originally located at the junction of the two counties, arrived outside Shuangyang Town under such circumstances.

With these 4,000 soldiers joining, the Matsue Army's military strength finally gained the upper hand in the face of the Guards.

Even if this unit is extremely elite, it is impossible to take out another brigade in a short period of time under the control of one brigade. And in this process, the 4,000 Songjiang cavalry could find the launching position of the charge at will and strike from the weakest point of the Omanis.

The hope of the Omanis for a comeback was completely shattered by the addition of 4,000 Dengzhou garrisons - they had no chance of defeating the Songjiang army in a frontal battle, and could only defend the town of Shuangyang.

This means that as long as the Songjiang army does not make mistakes, victory is inevitable, and the only suspense lies in how many casualties it needs to pay!

To be honest, General Musha did not expect the reinforcements of the Songjiang Army to arrive so quickly. In his opinion, even if the Songjiang Army drew troops from Dengzhou to arrive, counting the time when the news passed and the preparation stage for the mobilization of troops, it would take at least half a month to twenty days. Unexpectedly, there was a brigade of the Songjiang Army that was entrenched at the border of the two counties, and it was ready to be pulled out immediately!

This process only took more than eight days!

If he had known this, Musa might have chosen to fight to the death earlier. But now, he really has no chance of winning, and can only defend to the end in Shuangyang Town. With the elite of the Guards, he was confident that the attacking Matsue Army would pay at least 10,000 casualties. Even if the whole army is finally wiped out, it can be buried with 10,000 imperial civilians in the town.

It's a pity that he underestimated the abilities of Songjiang Jun and Chen Wu.

Seeing that the Omanis had made up their minds to defend to the death, the Songjiang army was not in a hurry to attack immediately. After all, Shuangyang Town's resources are limited, limited to the wall itself, and no matter how strong the defense is, there is an upper limit. While waiting for the siege equipment to be transported from Dengzhou, they sent the battle situation from Quanzhou to the front line in a steady stream.

I was really surprised to learn that the Omanis had made the same decision as themselves and sent elite troops to land by sea.

Historically, the Omanis have adhered to landism for more than ten years, and where did they come up with a fleet of sailors?

After a brief period of suspicion, it was determined that Lena's Ocean Sailor had not moved, and Chen Wu quickly found the answer from the countless clues in the game. Looking at the countries of the Eastern Continent, there is only one fleet that can come up with a fleet that far exceeds that of the Ninghai Division, except for the Lena people and the Empire, and that is the Andaman city-state in the South Seas!

Moreover, they had maritime trade contacts with the empire and started as merchants, and their consistent style was very much in line with the strange expression of the sailors who were afraid of war.

"The city-state of the Andaman?"

Chen Wu wrote down this scene, and sooner or later he would make this city-state on the sea look good.

However, at present, the sailors of the Matsue Army have just started, and they are far from the point of rampaging across the ocean, and they cannot afford to immediately tear their faces with the Andamanies. The top priority is to do everything possible to eliminate the elite Omanis who have become a lone army to prevent any more storms.

As for how to solve the 4,000 guards trapped in Shuangyang Town, Chen Wu had too many ways to do this.

The players' insights, tricks, and tricks are beyond the imagination of the people of this world. After Chen Wu's handwritten letter was sent, with his guidance, the Songjiang army outside Shuangyang Town quickly took action.

There is only one core strategy, besiege but not attack, destroy the wall, and let the people in Shuangyang Town escape!

As a large number of siege equipment was handed over from the War Readiness Administration to the Dengzhou garrison, the soldiers who had not been trained enough began to operate in a hurry, using stone throwers to bombard the walls of Shuangyang Town.

No matter how fortified it is, its defensive capabilities and fortification cannot be compared to that of a real city wall. The defenders in Shuangyang Town did not have the same weapons, so they could only drive the people in the town to rush to repair while waiting in vain. To their surprise, after destroying a wide opening, the Songjiang army did not intend to attack from the gap, but tirelessly expanded the width of the gap.

Soon, the gap in the wall expanded from thirty to fifty meters, to another hundred, and finally to the point where the Omanis could barely repair it.

This is true not only on one, but on all four walls!

Inevitably, the people of Shuangyang Town, who were unbearable to oppress, escaped from the gap at night. It is not that the Omanis did not use their hands to stop and kill people, but these methods only increased their hatred with the people of the town.

For a whole week, the Songjiang army always kept its composure, using these means to demoralize the defenders and intensify the contradictions in the town, but they just did not attack.

If the Songjiang Army attacks on a large scale, then the Guards will have nothing to say, and it will be just a vigorous desperate battle to repay the emperor's grace. But now, with such a sneak attack with a bow and arrow bed crossbow from time to time, coupled with the hateful eyes of the people in the town, the morale of the guards has fallen little by little over time.

Under the invisible and huge pressure, many soldiers of the Guards began to give up on themselves, and even fell into despair, just begging the Songjiang Army to come in and die quickly.

Can an army without spirit still be called elite? (To be continued.) )
