Chapter 336: Fate

"Bang!"

A loud bang represents the beginning of the battle.

The projectiles fired from that gate cannon continued to fall in the city, making everyone, including Duan Ling, feel the pressure.

Duan Ling didn't care, he had long been used to this situation, but Wang Guozuo and Li Debiao were much more embarrassed, and asked in a low voice: "General Duan, when will we retreat?"

"Retreat?" Duan Ling's face was stunned, and he glared at the two of them directly: "What nonsense are you two talking about, and you won't give me a quick counterattack?"

"Fight back?"

The two of them suddenly panicked, and they couldn't figure out the current situation, after all, didn't the plan they had made before plan to retreat after the other party began to attack the city? Why did Duan Ling ask them to fight back at this time?

Seeing that the two of them looked at a loss, Duan Ling immediately drew his knife and shouted, "If you don't fight back, believe it or not, I'll kill you now?"

"I, we get it. ”

Threatened by the Xueliang long knife, the two of them suddenly had a thrill, feeling like they were being doused with ice water from head to toe, and hurriedly stood up from behind the city wall and began to lead the soldiers under their command to resist the attack of Zhang Rongshi.

Compared to the rejection of the Gundam, this mausoleum is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it will still deceive them.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Rongshi immediately laughed and complained, "Hmph." I thought these guys had some other skills, but they just had some verbal skills. If you really go to the battlefield, it's like this. He knew too well the appearance of those soldiers resisting, and it was completely the same as the Song Dynasty, or it was no different at all.

So much so that Zhang Rongshi thought that this mausoleum was just a scholar with some eloquent ability, and the reason why he was able to kill Fan Wenhu and capture Tongcheng was only because he persuaded Na Li Debiao and Wang Guozuo that he could succeed.

But as soon as he appears, the other party will naturally return to his original form.

With this in mind, Zhang Rongshi ordered his men and horses to continue to speed up the attack, so that they could capture Tongcheng.

This Tongcheng is in the hands of the other party for a moment, and the threat to Anqing will be one more day, and it must be annihilated quickly, otherwise it will be really dangerous when the city is completely plunged into famine.

"General Duan, the Yuan army has already attacked the city wall, we should retreat. ”

Seeing that the other party was attacking fiercely, Li Debiao and Wang Guozuo were also extremely distressed, after all, it was their soldiers who died.

Duan Ling replied: "It's just that the city wall has been destroyed, what is this? Give me to continue to resist, I don't believe that the other party's offensive will be so fierce, and I really dare to pay so many sacrifices?"

Wang Guozuo and Li Debiao looked at each other, and saw that Duan Ling was always standing proudly in front of the front, so they had to reply: "General Qiyu, I will understand." Then the two of them retreated, continuing to lead the soldier to resist the attack of Zhang Rongshi.

If you talk about orders, this mausoleum is indeed much stricter, even Fan Wenhu can't compare, but compared to Fan Wenhu, Duan Ling at least has one advantage, that is, he is willing to stand with the soldiers, just this makes the two of them feel a little at ease.

If an accident really happened, Duan Ling would be injured or even sacrifice his life just like them.

That's for sure.

Seeing that several generals were standing behind them, those soldiers were also cheered up, and they regained their spirits, and in a short period of time, they repelled the Yuan troops who attacked the city wall.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Rongshi was also quite surprised: "I didn't expect these Song troops to be able to support until now?" If it was usual, the Song army would have collapsed long ago, but now there is no trace of retreat, which makes Zhang Rongshi also feel uplifted, but there is a trace of admiration in his heart.

"But even so, then you can't change your doom. ”

As soon as his heart was crossed, Zhang Rongshi gave another order, and many soldiers poured up on the city like a tide, and finally completely crushed the stubborn "Song army".

Seeing this scene, Duan Ling Fang sighed and said, "Retreat." ”

"Can you finally retreat?"

Hearing this, Wang Zodon was overjoyed, and hurriedly led his soldiers to flee outside the city along the established route.

It's just that Li Debiao hesitated, he looked at Duan Ling and said, "General Duan, aren't you retreating?"

"Humph!"

Glaring at Li Debiao sideways, Duan Ling suddenly scolded: "You haven't retreated yet, how can I leave easily?" Seeing the Yuan army killing in the distance, he raised his long knife and waved it fiercely, cutting off all the rushing Yuan troops, and blood splattered all over the ground.

Shocked by this scene, Li Debiao hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "I'll understand." Seeing that Duan Ling was still fighting in front of him, he didn't dare to hesitate, so he naturally led his subordinates to flee outside the city.

After there were few soldiers left in the city, Duan Ling breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "It's good that they all escaped, otherwise it would be a rout, which would not be good." Seeing that the soldiers of the Yuan Army jumped out one by one, he did not continue to fight, and immediately killed several people, and then jumped and escaped from the battlefield.

"What a fellow, you have such guts? It's just a pity that you failed after all. ”

Zhang Rongshi saw the other party leaving, although he wanted to continue the pursuit, but the defeated Song army still maintained its fighting spirit, and even rescued Duan Ling first, so he had to cry out in vain and let Duan Ling and others escape from Tongcheng.

For him, retaking Tongcheng is the first priority.

After completely taking Tongcheng, Zhang Rongshi came to the place where the grain was stored, opened the burned granary, and immediately lamented: "Sure enough, that guy is just to destroy this grain and grass." If this is the case, then you can only ask Lin'an for help first. "At present, the food is empty, and if we want to meet the needs of the Anqing army, we can only send an invitation to Lin'an, so that we can gather enough food to ensure that the army in the city can use it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rongshi hated that section of the tomb even more: "If it weren't for this person, how would we have fallen into today's realm?" Thinking that the guy had escaped from Tongcheng, and there were not a few soldiers under his command, and he was even more afraid that the other party would be disadvantageous to the Yuan army, so he naturally sent spies to search everywhere to find out where the tomb was hiding.

Of course, Zhang Rongshi was not idle, and he also sent a letter to inform Lin'an and Anqing of the situation here, on the one hand, so that Lin'an could distribute food earlier, and on the other hand, it also allowed Xie Cheng to feel at ease, so as not to put the army in a difficult situation.

A few days later, just as Duan Ling predicted, Zhang Rongshi also got a hiding place for the Huaxia army.

"Are you sure that the tomb is hidden in the gorge mountain?"

Looking at the spy in front of him, Zhang Rongshi asked.

The spy replied, "Lord Qiyu, you can see it clearly. The mausoleum was encamped in the gorge and mountain, and it seems that it was intended to settle down here. ”

"If that's the case, that's bad. You must know that Naxia Mountain is adjacent to the Yangtze River. It is only a few dozen miles away from Zongyang Town, and if they are allowed to be stationed here, it will definitely have an impact on the logistics of our army, and they must be eradicated as soon as possible. Zhang Rongshi thought of this, he couldn't bear it, and immediately led the army to the area of Xiashan.

After the previous battle, he also knew that the other party was not an ordinary person, so he was naturally cautious, and only after seeing the military village did he rejoice.

"It would be really bad if these guys were to be stationed here!"

With a horizontal thought, Zhang Rongshi immediately took his soldiers and horses and attacked the military village, but he had just launched an attack, and countless cannons suddenly rose in the military village, and the men and horses under his command were turned over on their backs.

"Such a cannon sound, how can that Duan Ling still have such strength?"

In the midst of the rumbling cannons, Zhang Rongshi only felt extremely frightened, with the firepower he was bearing now, it completely exceeded the intensity of the previous attack on Tongcheng, if he wanted to attack it, there was no chance of victory, and it would only bury his soldiers in vain.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rongshi immediately planned to retreat.

It's just that as soon as he turned around, an army appeared from the bottom of the mountain and directly blocked the intersection.

"Is that you?"

Zhang Rongshi looked at it from afar, and immediately recognized that it was Na Li Debiao and Wang Guozuo, and the two of them also appeared here just right, and blocked Zhang Rongshi and his soldiers in the mountain road.

"That's right, it's us. ”

Wang Guozuo sneered and said, "It's just that you're curious, why did we appear here when we should be hiding in that gorge mountain?"

Zhang Rongshi's blood surged, he suppressed the resentment in his heart, and shouted in a low voice: "I remember that I had already defeated you at the beginning, why did you still appear?

Outflanked on both sides, and robbed from head to end.

In such a situation, Zhang Rongshi already knew that he lacked the skills to return to the sky, but there was still a question in his heart, that is, where did the firepower that was far better than the previous attack on Tongcheng come from?

After all, no matter how powerful that tomb was, it was absolutely impossible to conjure up an army out of thin air.

And at this moment, that section of the tomb also came out of the military village, he looked at Zhang Rongshi, and did not hide his ridicule at all: "The reason is very simple. Because the people who fought against you before were just the original army of Tongcheng. As for the current one, it is the army I brought. Otherwise, how can I conquer Chizhou and Tongcheng?"

"I see!

After Zhang Rongshi heard this secret, he understood the reason, that is, he always thought that the tomb was just alone, and he didn't expect that the Huaxia Army would venture deep into this place?

And he had fallen into Duan Ling's trap from the beginning, but he knew that the price of this answer was too cruel, and it was at the cost of his life.

"It seems that I am not unjustly defeated!"

Zhang Rongshi looked at Duan Ling in the distance angrily, and his mouth was still unwilling, but the sky-high artillery fire drowned out his last shout.
