Chapter 34

After receiving the news of the defeat, A Shu was dispatching troops and generals to prepare to reinforce Yangtze Bridge.

Yangzi Bridge is the key link between Yangzhou and the south, but because the south is occupied by the Yuan army, there are not many troops stationed there.

While they were gathering, they suddenly heard three thunderclaps. Ashu's horse jumped up in fright, and the whole army was in a commotion.

"Quiet!" Ah Shu shouted: "It's just thunder, why panic?"

"Prime Minister Zuo." A general said, "I have sent word to Dong Wenbing that people from the south can summon thunder. Could it be that the people from the south caused the strange sound of thunder just now?"

"How dare you disturb our army's mind?" Ah Shu yelled angrily, "Dong Wenbing's march was not good, and he lost troops and lost generals, so how can he believe in evil if he presupposes ghosts and gods?

If the southerners had this skill, how could they be in the current situation?All armies, listen to the order, don't panic, move in to reinforce Yangtze Bridge! "

A'shu was wise and brave. He had been in the army for a long time. He was honored as Prime Minister Zuo, the official secretary of Zhongshu. It was because of his achievements with one sword and one shot. All the troops trusted him, and his two words calmed the morale of the troops.

Immediately, the Yuan army set off and rushed to Yangzi Bridge.

There were a total of [-] infantry troops and [-] horse troops. There were not many people, but A Shu thought it was enough, because the Song army was sneaking in, so there must not be many people.

When they arrived at Yangzi Bridge, they saw that the Song army had already entered the wooden fort. Zhang Shijie fought bravely, and all the armies moved forward together. The Yuan army garrisoned was frightened and fled in all directions.

Ah Shu ordered: "Attack the whole army and wipe out this group of southern soldiers!"

There are only a thousand soldiers. Even if they break two formations in a row, what is it worth?Destroyable with a snap of your fingers!
Seeing the arrival of most of the Yuan army, Zhang Shijie immediately ordered a change of formation, with swords and guns in front and grenadiers and crossbowmen in the rear.

The infantry of the Yuan army charged forward, and the horse army wandered left and right, ready to attack. Before the infantry arrived, the crossbowmen fired first, and the crossbowmen of the Song army also counterattacked.

However, both sides have thick armor, and the power of their bows and crossbows is greatly reduced, so they have to fight hand to hand to determine the winner.

Seeing that the Yuan soldiers were about to rush forward, the Song army's grenadiers lit the fuse and threw it out.

Boom~ boom~ boom~
Xilulu, Ashu's horse was frightened and immediately ran away. The horsemen on the left and right were in chaos. Many knights were knocked off their horses and were trampled on countless feet. They died on the spot.

The infantry was even worse, being bombarded for more than ten times, three to 200 people died on the spot, many more were seriously injured, and the rest were terrified, crawling and running back.

With just one throw, the Yuan army's four thousand troops were defeated and collapsed.

The smoke had not yet dissipated, and the second round of throwing came again, and the Yuan army was once again dead and wounded.

This time Yuan Jun couldn't stand it any longer, so he turned around and ran away, crying and shouting.

Zhang Shijie shouted and led his troops to rush forward and kill them.

When the Yuan soldiers completely retreated, the Song army had already reached another battlefield.

As soon as Li Tingzhi and Jiang Cai led their troops out of the city, they were blocked by their old rival Shi Bi.

At this time, Song and Yuan were strangled together, inseparable, and Jiang Cai and Shi Bi also collided.

Shi Bi had extraordinary physical strength. He once lifted a stone lion weighing [-] kilograms and walked several steps. However, he failed to gain the upper hand against Jiang Cai. However, it didn't matter. The Yuan army had the upper hand as a whole.

Because the Song army has been hungry for a long time and has no replenishment of soldiers and armor, it is impossible to fight against the well-equipped and physically strong enemies with just a lot of blood and courage. It often takes two or three people to replace one.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shijie hurriedly urged his troops to attack.

"Master Wang is here!" The morale of the Yangzhou army was greatly shaken, and they became more and more desperate.

Probably because they did not expect the Song army to arrive so quickly, the Yuan army panicked. Shi Bi was entangled by Jiang Cai again and was unable to command.

Zhang Shijie came forward with his troops and immediately ordered thunder to be thrown.

rumbling~
Just like the A Shu tribe, the Shi Bi tribe was immediately in chaos.

"The imperial court has magic~"

"Run, God's punishment is coming."

"God is thundering, run away."

Especially those Huaixi soldiers who were transferred to Shi Bi's command after Xia Gui was demoted to the Yuan Dynasty, immediately fought like a headless fly.

Normally, the supervising team would go on a killing spree to suppress them. At this time, the supervising team themselves were in a panic and couldn't even think of controlling the surrendering troops.Zhang Shijie asked for a second and third round of throwing, and did not stop until the Yuan army completely collapsed.

Jiang Cai slashed Shi Bi open with his sword and shouted: "The imperial court is coming with magical powers, and all the armies are trying their best to kill the thief!"

"Kill~" Yangzhou soldiers marched forward bravely, killing the Yuan army to pieces.

Seeing that the whole army was scattered, Shi Bi couldn't help but cursed: "A Shu mistaken me!"

Now that the matter has come to an end, it is important to save his life. Surrounded by his personal guards, Shi Bi turns around and leaves.

He himself was in a panic, and he didn't care about reining in the defeated troops, he just kept his head on his way.

You can't just leave the battlefield if you want. Jiang Cai sent his troops to pursue him, but Shi Bi ran too fast and soon disappeared.

At this time, A Shu, who did not believe in evil, mobilized another army and horse to support him, but the horse army was frightened away before approaching, and the infantry could not resist a round of bombardment.

When Ah Shu saw this, he was shocked and angry but could do nothing. Just when he was about to collect the defeated troops, a thunderbolt fell nearby. The newly replaced mount was frightened and ran away with him.

The Yuan army was defeated, the Song army captured countless, the siege of Yangzhou was broken, Zhang Shijie and Li Tingzhi successfully met, and the Yangzhou soldiers could also pack up the spoils with peace of mind.

"I don't think the imperial court can restore the country with this magic!" Li Tingzhi praised in admiration.

Zhang Shijie said: "Your Majesty has a destiny, so God has given you divine magic."

The two of them were overjoyed, but Ah Shu and Shi Bi, who had already retreated to the camp, looked at each other in silence and looked gloomy.

"Send a message to Dong Wenbing in Japan that Yannan people have the skill of summoning thunder, and we will ridicule him for lying about ghosts and gods to pretend to be a failure. Today's fiasco is even worse in Taizhou. It is really shameless to see people." Ali Haiya said tragically.

Cui Bin, who was on the opposite side, had an equally miserable look on his face and said, "The fireworks are still going on, why don't you believe in evil? Today's army has lost ten thousand and three. I think Liu Shen must be unlucky. If we go to another three thousand, half of the thirty thousand army will be lost." , Qingtian can’t go down!”

Ali Hague was originally going to return to Beijing under the imperial edict. When he heard that the southerners had established a new emperor in Wenzhou, he asked to lead troops to attack. Kublai Khan agreed and appointed Cui Bin as his deputy.

The two ordered [-] troops and arrived at Qingtian County. Together with Liu Shen, they felt that Qingtian city was destroyed and the young emperor must run away. In order to avoid future troubles and to perform meritorious service, Liu Shen asked for orders to lead troops to attack Wenzhou.

Even if the little emperor is still allowed to run away, it will be much easier to occupy Wenzhou, whether by storm or to persuade Qingtian or Taizhou to surrender, and Ali Hague does not think that the current strength of the Song army can pose a threat to Liu Shen, so he agreed to this plan.

In total, Liu Shen had taken Wenzhou. After Ali Hague tried to persuade him to surrender to no avail, the whole army was dispatched and the city was indeed broken.

I didn't expect this to be a sinkhole.

Jiang Zheng was more daring than Liu Shiyong. He abandoned half of the city, then bombarded him with thunder, and set fire to the city. He wiped out more than 3000 troops in one fell swoop.

That is to say, Ali Hague is in good health, otherwise he would have to vomit blood for a liter.

After a long moment of sorrow, Ali Hague said bitterly: "The matter is over, the whole army has returned to Chuzhou, and we will fight again tomorrow."

Cui Bin said: "Chuzhou can no longer be defended. Retreat to Quzhou and choose a general to defend it. You and I will go to Dadu to apologize."

Kublai Khan listened to Cui Bin's advice, and Ali Hague was naturally willing to listen.

Hearing that they were about to retreat, the Yuan army camp burst into cheers.

All the soldiers were in panic. Whenever there was a loud sound, they would be nervous for a long time. They were really scared.

When I was packing my things, I heard a loud bang outside the camp, followed by countless shouts of killing.

"No, the Song army is coming~"

With a cry, Yuan Bing got up and ran, not even armor and weapons.

When Jiang Zheng led his troops into the camp, all he saw was a sea of ​​headless flies.

Having nothing to say, he waved his troops to cover up the attack and left.

On that day, the Yuan army in Chuzhou was completely wiped out, Ali Hague only escaped with his life, Cui Bin was wounded and captured, and the Song army achieved an unprecedented victory.

 How can you believe in evil?Xie should be read as yé, and the tone at the end of the sentence expresses a question or rhetorical question, which is equivalent to "what" or "he". Of course, there is no problem in reading it as xié, and there is no ambiguity.
