Chapter 197: The Battle of Fancheng (3)
"You're here?"
Lu Wenhuan glanced at Gundam, and then looked at Baicheng in the distance again.
Compared to the battle when Gundam conquered Lumen Fort, the battlefield here is not very intense, but looking at the corpses lying on the ground on the battlefield, you can see that the battle here is not inferior to the Battle of Hakujo.
Gundam nodded, his eyes swept over the soldiers around him, and he noticed that the guns they were holding were all in the style of the Huaxia Army: "That's right. Looks like you're in trouble?"
"There is no way, the troops were consumed too much before, and there is really no way to conquer that fortress. Lu Wenhuan smiled bitterly.
Unlike Gundam, he still has Xiangyang to defend, so the troops he brought this time are less than 5,000, which is much worse than the 8,000 in Gundam's hands.
"That's just as well. ”
Gundam smiled and encouraged, "But don't worry, I'll help you." Looking back at the fortress in the distance, his heart began to deliberate, estimating how to take action next, so that he could take this fortress as soon as possible.
Lu Wenhuan pursed his lips and said, "Thank you." He felt a lot of guilt when he thought about what he had done before.
With Gundam's talent, if he hadn't had those things at the beginning, he would not be just a general soldier now, and he could even become a member of the party like his brother Lu Wende.
"What's wrong with you?"
Gundam trembled a little when he heard the voice, so he turned his head and looked at Lu Wenhuan with surprised eyes.
Lu Wenhuan hurriedly responded: "It's nothing, I just miss my brother." If my brother is still here, how could I make a mistake in judgment and cause the appearance I am today?" His eyes were sad, but he was secretly angry, if Lu Wende was here, he would definitely not become like this.
"The past is over, we still have to look to the future, don't we?" Gundam's expression was flat, and he used his unique calmness to dissipate the anger in Lu Wenhuan's heart: "And the white city hasn't been captured yet, but it's not the time to sigh." Got it?"
"I understand that. ”
Lu Wenhuan nodded, regained his spirits, and took out the courage of a commander to give orders.
With the help of Gundam's command, their attack this time was not as weak as before, and they quickly forced into the front of the fortress, and with a quick step, they could break into the fortress and destroy the tartars who were huddled inside.
Seeing the enemy surging in, those fortresses also became crazy, even if the cannon chamber was already hot, they continued to fire, and those soldiers even rushed out of the trenches and directly fought with the Song soldiers who broke through.
But under the continuous attack, these people eventually collapsed from exhaustion, and could no longer hold on.
Watching those soldiers fall, Gundam showed a little luck: "It seems that this time, we have succeeded." ”
However, Lu Wenhuan stood aside, feeling a little confused, he walked to the front of the fortress and carefully looked at the corpse lying on the ground.
Gundam was surprised and opened his mouth to ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"Just a few things for sure. Lu Wenhuan replied, his subordinates did not stop, but turned over the corpse of a Yuan army, making him face the sky.
Gundam took one look at it and sighed, "Are they Han Chinese?" Alas, what kind of battle do you say we are fighting here? Even if we kill many people, aren't we compatriots killing each other?" Thinking of the reason why these people are here, Gundam hates the Tartars even more: "Those Tartars, they really aren't things. ”
Although it is called Tartar, today's Yuan army has long been different from the previous Mongolian army, especially after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of Han people were conscripted into the army, becoming the vanguard of the Mongol conquest of the Southern Song Dynasty.
"That's right. ”
Lu Wenhuan closed his head and replied: "It's just that don't you think that there are too many Han people here? ”
Only then did Gundam notice this, and he asked, "Indeed. Do you suspect that the Tartar is cheating?"
"Maybe yes. After all, that tartar has always been cunning, and will not let us succeed easily. ”
Lu Wende nodded solemnly, and Gundam was affected by it, and he also began to think about it, what the hell was the Yuan army doing, so that they could easily break through these two fortresses.
Just as he was thinking about it, a horse galloped in the distance, and it was Li Yi, who had served as a patrol soldier before.
When Li Yi saw the two of them standing here, he hurriedly rode his horse and shouted, "General, something is wrong." ”
"Grunt", Lu Wenhuan secretly said that it was so, and hurriedly jumped up, directly grabbed the reins of the war horse under Li Yi's crotch, and only waved the reins violently, and pulled the galloping war horse, he stared at Li Yi deadly, and opened his mouth to ask: "What's wrong? Isn't something happening in Xiangyang?"
"General Qiyu. ”
Li Yi took a few breaths, and it was easy to recover.
He said to Lu Wenhuan: "Just after you left Xiangyang, that Ah Shu launched a brazen attack and came towards Fancheng. We can't resist, so we can only come here and ask you to come back and help us. Otherwise, Fan Cheng would fall into the hands of the other party. If Fancheng is lost, then Xiangyang is afraid that it will be difficult to keep it. ”
And so it was. ”
Lu Wenhuan's eyes widened, and he looked extremely angry.
Gundam was also shocked as he listened, and he hurriedly asked, "Is this serious?"
"Of course it's true, if I lie, it will be thunder. Li Yi raised his palms and swore to the sky.
"If that's the case, that's bad. Gundam's expression was solemn, and he saw that Lu Wenhuan had already clenched his hands tightly, and he didn't know that the blood had fallen to the ground.
Lu Wenhuan raised his voice and shouted to the many soldiers present: "The whole army listens to my orders. Rush back to Fancheng immediately, and make sure to hold that Fancheng. He apologized to the Gundam and said, "I'm sorry, there are changes in Xiangyang at the moment, and I really can't sit still." As for here, then please. After saying that, he bowed respectfully and saluted Gundam.
Gouda accepted it calmly and said, "Then you can go, remember, don't let the other party succeed, understand?"
"Of course. ”
Lu Wenhuan stepped on his war horse and quickly led a group of soldiers along the Han River towards Fancheng.
Based on the current situation, if they are one step late, then Fan Cheng is afraid that it will not belong to them at all.
Seeing everyone go away, Gundam silently prayed, "I hope this time, they can repel each other safely." "It's just that when I think of the plan of the Yuan army, I am still a little afraid, after all, since the Yuan army has been planning for so long, it is absolutely impossible for it to just break through Fancheng, and there may be a more important purpose.
In order to prevent this, he still has to be prepared for defense, and this Lumen and Baicheng have just been captured, and I am afraid that there are still enemies in the fort, and if those enemies are not cleared out, it will be a trouble.
With this in mind, Gundam prepares to send his soldiers deep into the fort to search for suspicious enemies.
At this moment, however, the cavalry he had sent out earlier had returned, and told him that a large number of Yuan soldiers had been found thirty miles outside the city, and it seemed that they were rushing towards them.
And the timing was also just right, just when Lu Wenhuan and the others had just left, which even made Gundam wonder if there were Yuan Army spies in the army for a while.
"Sure enough. It is impossible for the Yuan army to abandon these two fortresses so easily. Gundam was thinking about it, and asked the generals around him to start reorganizing the soldiers to meet the upcoming Yuan army.
Fancheng is important, but these two fortresses are also of considerable importance, otherwise why would they mobilize heavy troops to attack these two fortresses?
