Chapter 199: The Battle of Fancheng (5)

"Fight back, give me to knock them back. ”

Even though he was hiding behind the trenches, Gundam leaned out halfway and aimed his gun at the enemy in the distance.

Seeing that the same was true of the Gundam, the rest of the soldiers felt the same way, knowing that if they did not do their best, they would not be able to repel the enemy, and they also leaned out at the risk of being shelled and aimed at the Tartars who rushed at them.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Short but heavy gunfire rang out continuously, killing many of the incoming cavalry one by one.

Soon, the battlefield returned to its previous calm, and the previous gunfire and artillery all disappeared, leaving only the wailing of people, which made people listen with extra caution.

"It's finally over?"

Gundam's brows furrowed, he knew quite well that this time was just a test, to test how much strength they still had, and that what followed was the real attack.

In the distance, another group of cavalry came out of the ranks, and the number was also average, at the level of about five hundred.

Since the ranks of the troops, these people have instigated their horses, like arrows from the string, and rushed towards everyone again.

"Everyone listen to my orders and open fire. ”

Gundam had no choice but to stand up again and lead his soldiers to fight back.

There is no way, all his men are infantry, and they are not good at cavalry and archery, if they want to draw with the Yuan army, they can only rely on fortresses and positions, so that the initiative will completely fall into the hands of the other party.

In response to this, the Yuan army can naturally launch an attack anytime and anywhere, first dragging the opponent back, and then cutting off its logistical supplies, and when the opponent is dragged to exhaustion, it can launch a fierce attack on this point.

The Mongols' tactics of conquest of the world are nothing more than these.

Even Gundam is still tired in the face of the tactics that Mongolia is best at.

In this way, after three or four rounds, the soldiers in Gundam's hands were dead and crippled, and only about half of the soldiers were able to fight, and the artillery and other heavy equipment carried by the army were also destroyed under the continuous attacks of the opponent.

"Whew!"

The muffled sound of a horn reverberated throughout the battlefield.

Gundam poked his head out from behind the trench with a solemn expression, and immediately saw the cavalry in the distance rushing towards the entire position in unison, one by one, almost frantically. The black oppression, the dust and sand that was kicked up also covered half of the sky, coupled with the sound of horses' hooves that shook the earth, made everyone present frightened.

"Is it finally getting started?"

Looking at this scene, Gundam's hands clenched violently, and the corners of his mouth became hideous, but when he thought of the situation in the army, his eyes dimmed.

After several encounters, the other side has already discovered his details, and the previous attack has also eliminated the only few artillery pieces in his hand, if you want to resist the opponent's attack at this moment, it is really a fantasy.

However, Gundam still refused to give up, and he shouted, "Attack, attack." ”

In the face of such a ferocious attack from the other side, Gundam knew quite well that only by doing his best to hold this place at all costs could he make the other party frightened and understand his determination.

In this way, he will be able to gain a foothold here and hold out until reinforcements from Lin'an arrive.

After the arrival of reinforcements, the Song Dynasty could hold the two fortresses of Baicheng and Lumen, ensuring that the logistical supply from the Yangtze River to the Han River would not be cut off.

Of course, all of this is premised on that they can hold this place.

In the face of a flood of enemies, Gundam had no choice but to raise his true strength and once again step up and lead the crowd against the Tartars.

............

On Lion Rock.

Fan Wenhu's ears moved slightly, and he listened to the sound of the battlefield in the distance: "Gundam, they have already fought?"

"That's how it should be. ”

Pointing to the foot of the mountain, he said as the guards who followed him left and right.

"It's so tragic" Standing on top of an abrupt mountain rock, Fan Wenhu overlooks the entire foot of the mountain.

In his position, it was enough to have an unobstructed view of the entire battlefield, including Nabaihe Fort, so it was clear how many Yuan troops were coming, and under the pressure of these Tartars, Gundam was forced to lead his soldiers to withdraw from the outside positions and retreat towards the mountains.

It seems that Gundam intends to take advantage of the terrain here to block the Tartars.

"So what are we going to do?

"But those Tartars have come here, how can we resist?"

"That's right. We're just a navy, how can we fight against the Tartars?"

There was some commotion among the soldiers, and they began to complain.

Previously, they had followed Gundam's instructions to go deep into the mountains and forests in order to search for the Tartars that might be hidden, but after searching half of the mountains, they had never found any trace of each other.

Now that the Yuan army is getting closer and closer, everyone has begun to be afraid.

If the Tartar cut off their way, how will they be able to escape?

After all, they are just a naval army, and they are not good at land warfare at all.

"You ask me, how do I know what to do?"

Fan Wenhu scolded angrily, not noticing the embarrassed looks of the soldiers around him.

Before, they were a little resentful because of Fan Wenhu's escape, but now when they see Fan Wenhu looking like this, they feel even more bottomless.

Encountering such a commander, how can they survive?

Could it be that we will die in this deep mountain and forest like this?

As if they looked at each other, many soldiers were all moved, but they did not resist because they were afraid of Fan Wenhu's obscenity.

"Look. Someone ran towards our warship. ”

At this moment, someone pointed to a group of Tartars in the distance and shouted.

Fan Wenhu stared at it, and sure enough, he saw that the Yuan army had divided a group of men and horses, and was running towards the place where their battleship was anchored, apparently planning to snatch the Song army's warship.

"Not good. We must rush back, or let the Tartars take the ship, and it will be troublesome. Fan Wenhu shouted, quickly turned around, and ran towards the battleship in the distance.

"But General, don't forget Commander Gao's orders, he told us to search for the hidden Tartar army. ”

Some people were surprised, just Fan Wenhu's appearance without the slightest sense of responsibility was really speechless.

Fan Wenhu scolded: "Didn't we look for half an hour and didn't find it? So those Tartars are definitely not there, what are you worried about? And you know that the most important thing is the battleship." If the ship is taken by the Tartars, then we will be in trouble. If we don't have a battleship, how can we go back??" A look of anger flashed on his face, and he shouted directly: "Now follow me immediately, and make sure that the battleship is not lost, otherwise I will take your life." ”

At this time, Fan Wenhu remembered to give orders.

After all, the battleship is his treasure, if there are no these battleships, then his capital to stand in the Song army will be gone.

"I'll understand. ”

Many soldiers replied one after another, followed Fan Wenhu to turn around, rushed down from the bottom of the mountain, and ran towards the battleship.

If these warships were taken by the Yuan army, they would be equivalent to tigers with their teeth pulled out, and when the time came to return to Lin'an, they would definitely be laughed at by others.
