Chapter 331: The Battle of Anqing (4)

Zongyang Town.

Looking at the position in the distance, Gundam's face darkened slightly, and he fell into complete silence.

"What's wrong?"

Duan Ling glanced sideways at Gundam and felt a little strange.

The attack on Zongyang Town was the attention of Gundam, and the commander of this war was also Gundam, but when he arrived on the battlefield, Gundam became like this, and he really couldn't figure out what was going on.

"It's fine!"

Gundam shook his head and replied in a nonchalant tone.

Duan Ling muttered in his heart: "It's okay? It's strange that you're like this, it's okay." Since the other party didn't want to answer, he was not interested in continuing to ask, but just looked at the battle situation in Zongyang Town in the distance, and said: "Then what are you going to do now? You must know that although the strength of Zongyang Town is much worse than ours, it is much stronger than us in terms of the naval army." If we continue to dwell, it won't do us much good. ”

They only came with infantry this time, and although they captured more than a dozen warships from the other party, they were not relevant people after all, so it was naturally difficult to operate clinker. If you want to fight the other party with a half-hung water army alone, it will be hell.

As for the reason why he was able to press the other party to fight this time, it was only by sneak attack that he was caught off guard.

When the other party reacted, he naturally began to reverse the situation, so as not to fall into a state of passive beating. At present, the two sides are also in a stalemate, and if the fierce battle continues, it is not known when it will end.

"Retreat. Gundam said.

Duan Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Retreat?"

"It's nature. Gundam replied, "Don't forget, the purpose of this attack is not to capture Zongyang Town, but to destroy the opponent's naval army. Now that all the opponent's warships have been destroyed, there is naturally no need to continue fighting. ”

"That's the same!" Duan Ling replied.

After capturing Chizhou again, they did not stop there, but turned their guns and attacked directly to Zongyang Town, and the defenders of Zongyang Town were immediately attacked by the Huaxia Army into the town, although they mobilized troops in time to block the attack, but the warships stationed here were all taken away by the Huaxia Army. Even if it couldn't be taken away, it was set on fire and burned down.

Without these warships, the Zongyang Town Navy naturally could not be dispatched, and then threatened Chizhou.

With the signal flare rising, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army above Zongyang Town also evacuated here in batches with warships, and the whole process was completed in one go, even if the defenders of Zongyang Town wanted to resist, in the midst of the artillery fire in the sky, they could only watch the other party retreat.

And when the Zongyang Town Navy saw the other party retreating, they were naturally glad to have escaped.

"Fortunately, the other party escaped, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been able to hold out. It's just that those battleships were captured, but it was a problem. ”

Li Debiao felt a little lucky, he also knew his strength, if the other party continued to attack, he was afraid that it would be difficult to fight, after all, the other party was Gundam, even in the Song army, there were a number of famous generals.

If the other party continues to attack, it will be difficult for him to keep Zongyang Town, so he can only flee from the wind.

Just after the Huaxia army retreated, after about half a quarter, I saw another army appear in the distance. Seeing this army appear, it naturally surprised Li Debiao, and hurriedly stepped forward, and only after seeing the leader of the army, he was relieved.

"It turned out to be Wang Guozuo, I didn't expect that Fan Wenhu to send you?"

With a happy face, Li Debiao walked up and said happily.

"Hmm!"

Wang Guozuo replied: "After receiving your letter, General Fan immediately asked me to lead the army, but fortunately, the Huaxia army retreated, and you are safe." ”

"It's just a blessing. Li Debiao shook his head and replied self-deprecatingly: "After all, the leader is Gundam, and he may be old age, so he has never really attacked." If he goes into battle in person, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it at all. ”

Li Debiao is naturally clear about his own strength, and he understands that the reason why the other party has not captured it before is just to test his strength, if he waits until the next time, what will follow is a more ferocious battle.

When the time comes, it will determine the outcome of the entire campaign.

After Wang Guozuo heard this, he was naturally in a solemn mood and asked, "Is this really the case?"

"Naturally. ”

Li Debiao replied.

Wang Guozuo took a sideways look, and saw that before Zongyang Town, it had already been destroyed by the artillery fire, and the warships in it were basically sunk, even if they wanted to repair it again, they were afraid that they would not be able to use it.

"In this way, it seems that the Huaxia Army also came prepared, not rashly. ”

was stunned by the scene in front of him, Wang Guozuo was also worried, thinking about Fan Wenhu's instructions before leaving, he was even more scared, in terms of the current situation, it is a problem to hold Zongyang Town, what else to talk about defeating the other party?

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

"Are you sure that Gundam really led the army to attack Zongyang Town?"

With a hideous face, Fan Wenhu scolded the herald fiercely.

The herald was also taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "Exactly. That's why Commander Li sent me here to beg the general to send troops to help. If they take Zongyang Town, then they can directly threaten our Tongcheng. At this point, he almost screamed, and his voice was all earnest.

Fan Wenhu ignored it, and his eyebrows were still locked.

"Is this Gundam really that powerful?"

He had also worked with Gundam before, but he didn't believe that the other party had this kind of ability, and he could destroy Zongyang Town so smoothly.

Seeing that Fan Wenhu did not respond, the herald hurriedly shouted, "General Fan, you really can't delay." Otherwise, we're really finished. When he said this, the generals here were also worried, looked at Fan Wenhu together, and begged in the middle of their mouths: "General, please make a decision quickly, don't continue to delay." ”

Whether this man's words are true or not, it won't be a good thing for them to let Gundam attack this place.

"Okay. ”

Fan Wenhu only then ordered: "Since it is what Li Debiao said, then I will send 3,000 men and horses to cooperate with him to defend Zongyang Town." With a sweep of his eyes, he said again: "Wang Guozuo." This time, the army will be handed over to you to command. Remember, you must defend the town of Zongyang and defeat the sneak attacker. You know what?"

"Beat the other party?"

Hearing this, Wang Guozodon was embarrassed.

Duan Ling aside, the strength of that Gundam is not weak, otherwise how can he still be in a high position under the rejection of Jia Yidao and Lu Wenhuan.

If he could, Wang Guozo really didn't want to fight against Gundam.

Fan Wenhu saw Wang Guozuo's face embarrassed, and immediately shouted: "That's right. Or are you not?"

"General Qiyu, it's not that the last general is afraid. It's just that the Gundam is very strong, and if you rely on it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat the opponent. Wang Guozuo hurriedly defended, for fear of being suspected by Fan Wenhu.

Fan Wenhu snorted lightly and said, "So what? You know, he only has 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and you and Na Li Debiao together also have 7,000 soldiers and horses, which is 2,000 more than the other party." How can you not fight the other party?" Seeing that the other party still had to argue, Fan Wenhu was even more annoyed, and waved his big hand and ordered: "Don't argue." I have given you so many soldiers and horses this time, but I trust you. If you fail, don't blame me for being rude. In his tone, he made no secret of his threat.

Told by this, Wang Guozuo naturally lowered his head and said helplessly: "The last general understands." ”

As Fan Wenhu's lieutenant, Wang Guozuo didn't know how to do it, Fan Wenhu was just afraid of fighting Gundam, so he pushed himself out, so that even if he failed, he would have enough time to escape.

In the past, Fan Wenhu did just that.

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

"How are you?"

Li Debiao's voice sounded in his ears, which surprised Wang Guozuo.

After Wang Guozuo glanced sideways at the other party was Li Debiao, he relieved himself and said, "It's nothing." I just remembered what the general had ordered before leaving. ”

"General, what did Fan Wenhu say?" asked Li Debiao, without any respect in his words.

Wang Guozuo didn't care much about it, they had always treated Fan Wenhu in front of him and behind his back, and immediately said, "Alas." It's not about the Gundam, he wants us to defeat the Huaxia Army and capture the Gundam. Do you think it's possible?"

"Defeat the Huaxia Army?"

Hearing this, Li Debiao shook his head again and again, only feeling ridiculous.

After the previous battle, he already knew that the other party was not that weak, but a real lion in a hundred battles, and now that all the warships in Zongyang Town had been taken away, the naval army could be said to be completely suspended, and it would be too naΓ―ve to defeat the Huaxia army and recapture Chizhou with the army in his own hands.

"IMHO, it's simply impossible. ”

Facing Wang Guozuo, Li Debiao replied frankly.

Wang Guozuo's face was also full of bitterness, and he replied: "That's right. I also know it's impossible. It's just that the general has already given the order to die, and if we can't complete the mission, then he may hold us accountable. ”

"Guilty?

After hearing this, Li Debiao was naturally extremely disgusted: "Is he so afraid of death, he doesn't even dare to face Gundam head-on?" If he is really a famous general, he should go into battle in person in the face of this situation.

In this way, not only can the soldiers in the army feel at ease, but also can understand the enemy's situation in the battle and give corresponding commands.

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, nothing more than this.

However, that Fan Wenhu sent Wang Guozuo, and the army led by him was only 3,000, and he now only has 3,000 troops left, and it is only 6,000 men, which is far from being a superior force, not to mention that the other party is now taking away the warships in the army and occupying the advantage of the navy.

It can be said that now all the trends are in favor of the Huaxia Army, and they have no chance of winning.

Wang Guozuo scolded in a low voice: "Hmph." If he had dare, he would not have abandoned the army and fled, but would have risen to the front. Shouldn't you and I understand this since we followed him?" At the beginning, if it wasn't for that Fan Wenhu's compulsion, he would not have been willing to accept this task.

After all, the other party is Gundam, and Wang Guozuo doesn't have the confidence to fight against the other party.

"That's right!" Li Debiao nodded approvingly.

In the past, the back of the pad was Gundam, Li Tingzhi, Chen Wenlong and others, so he naturally had no opinion, but now that it was his turn, he couldn't accept it.

Thinking of the current situation, Li Debiao cursed in a low voice: "Could it be that this time, we are really going to die?"

Li Debiao is not a loyal minister and righteous man, the reason why he followed Fan Wenhu to join the Yuan army at the beginning was also to see that the Song Dynasty was gone, so he did not object, and now he sees that he is in a desperate situation, and he has no plan to go to the soup for the Yuan army, so he naturally plans how to survive in this troubled world.

"Actually, it's not impossible to live. Wang Guozuo saw Li Debiao's curiosity on his face, and immediately complained.

Li Debiao's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh." Tell me, what is it?"
