The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 457 Hero

I thought for a while and said: "That's good. Let's give the Fancheng garrison another week. Junshi, send an order to the Xiangyang Military Region immediately. The time I gave them is to stick to it until the 23rd of the second half of this month. Of course. If the Fancheng garrison The army has the ability to kill more enemies while preserving itself. It can also extend the time for retreating to the inner city."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

"Junshi. Your Military Council once again reiterated the mission of the first phase of the war to the front-line military regions. That is to rely on the city and wipe out a large number of enemy troops. At the same time, we also need to protect our soldiers and avoid unnecessary casualties. This point Just like the battle in the outer city of Fancheng. Eliminate Mongolian soldiers twice as many as our army at a relatively low cost."

"Yes. I obey the order." Lu Xiufu got up and saluted. "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

The Mongolian soldiers who besieged the outer city of Fancheng were under the command of Ali Haiya and Kong Yuan.They attacked one after another.As the degree of destruction of the outer city walls intensified.As the defender, the generals of the Song Army felt more and more difficult.Niu Fu, Fan Tianshun, and Wang Fu, the three members of City Lord Fan, devoted almost all their energy to the defense of the outer city.

April 17th (seven o'clock in the morning).When the Mongolian trebuchet roared again.Dozens of death squad members fought hard.Under the leadership of Yantai Hezong, the head of a hundred households, a gap was finally opened.Climbed the tower.Guarding this section of the tower is the 46th Battalion of the [-]th Army of the No. [-]th Division of the Xiangyang Military Region.As soon as I saw a Mongolian soldier boarding the tower.The commander of the battalion, Wei Guohu, immediately led the army of a capital (a hundred people were the capital) to meet the enemy.

These Mongolian death squads were extremely ferocious.Holding a Mongolian scimitar.All of them are skilled in knife skills.He fought fiercely with the soldiers of the Song Army who rushed up.The head of a hundred households, Yantai Hezong, is tall and tall.Powerful.Holding a handle of extremely rare barbed terrier bones in both hands.or smash.or rinse.Song Jun's weapons only need to be hit once.He was knocked out by him immediately.

The barbed terrestris bone has a handle at one end.One is oblong.There are iron spikes on it.An improved version of the Warhammer.That is to add a lot of sharp spikes to the hammer head.It has become the strange weapon barbed wire thorn bone.This rare foreign eight-door weapon requires a lot of strength to use.Therefore, it is not common in the military.According to legend.In history, the only celebrity who used barbed thorns as a weapon was the minority leader of Wuling County during the Three Kingdoms period (that is, the King of Wuxi Fan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms) Sha Moke.

The Mongolian soldiers who climbed the tower closely followed Yantai Hezong.The intention is to hold on to this hard-won gap.So that the follow-up reinforcements can climb up from here.

The Song army guarding the city naturally knew.If you don't drive the enemy down as soon as possible.The consequences could be disastrous.As the supreme general defending this section of the city wall.Wei Guohu roared angrily.With a long gun in hand.Take Yanzong directly.In an instant, the two were fighting together beside the city wall.Although Yantai Hezong's moves are heavy and fierce.But Wei Guohu is not a vegetarian either.The spear in his hand swung up and down deftly.For a while, Yantai Hezong was blocked.

About seven or eight minutes passed.When the 8 Mongolian soldiers who first climbed the tower were all killed.More than 100 Mongolian soldiers climbed up from the gap one after another.With the addition of more than 100 Mongolian soldiers.The Song army in front of the gap immediately fell into a hard fight.

Wei Guohu saw this.My heart is in a hurry.In addition, the martial arts of Yantai Hezong were slightly inferior.In desperation, his marksmanship became chaotic.A few flaws were revealed.Opportunities seized by experienced opponents.A move of "sweeping thousands of troops" hit the spear in Wei Guohu's palm.

under the collision.Suddenly Wei Guohu was so shocked that his blood boiled.Both hands and shoulders were numb.A mouthful of blood spewed out immediately.Yantai Hezong was justified and not forgiving.The backhand is another move of "white snake upper body".All I could hear was the whistling wind of Chenopodium Guduo.Slashed fiercely.at this time.Wei Guohu was already unable to retaliate.The soldiers around couldn't tell who they were from and came to rescue them.Even if you want to.Nor does he have the ability to rescue his own battalion commander from Yantai Hezong's sword.

Just at this very moment.Wei Guohu moved.

It was beyond Yantai Hezong's expectation.Wei Guohu did not make any form of resistance.Instead, he suddenly dropped the spear in his hand.Pounce on it alone.He hugged his opponent with lightning speed.And rushed to the gap at the top of the city.This gap has long been smoothed out by chaotic stones.Caught off guard.The two fell off the tower together.

From Wei Guohu abandoning his gun to falling off the tower.This continuous movement is only between lightning and flint.

The sudden change stunned the soldiers on both sides.

The first thing to react was Song Jun's capital.He only heard him yell: "Brothers, avenge the Commander." Wei Guohu's heroic actions immediately infected all the soldiers of the Song Army present.Everyone works hard.Desperately fighting with the Mongolian soldiers again.

Right here.Although more and more Mongolian soldiers climbed up.But the [-] soldiers of the Heitan Regiment arrived in time under the leadership of General Wang Fu.As the most elite unit of the Xiangyang Military Region.The combat power of the Heitan regiment is no small feat.In addition, the number of people has an advantage.Three times five divisions two.Soon, the Mongolian soldiers who boarded the tower were driven down or slaughtered.

The soldiers of the 20th Battalion immediately came to the side of the tower and looked down.I saw more than [-] meters away from the city wall.Yantai Hezong was carrying Wei Guohu towards the plundering Mongolian army.

"General Wei is still alive."

The walls around Fancheng are not very high.In addition, there are many corpses of Mongolian soldiers at the bottom of the city wall.When Wei Guohu and Yantai Hezong fell, they happened to hit one of the corpses.So that the two people are not life-threatening.Just a momentary coma.After the powerful Yantai Hezong was awakened by Mongolian soldiers.Looking at Wei Guohu beside him, he still breathed a sigh of relief.He carried it on his body.Back off.

Yantai Hezong is rude outside.But there are many eyes.Although the siege failed.However, a general of the Song Army was captured.And he is the only enemy general captured alive since the attack on Fancheng.It can be regarded as confession.

but.Song Jun couldn't judge Wei Guohu's life or death.Not to mention rescue.

Keep your eyes fixed on the front. Wang Fudao, Deputy Commander of No.17 Chamber: "Whether Commander Wei is dead or alive, he is a hero of my Seventeenth Chamber. He is a hero of our Xiangyang Army. He is also a hero of our Great Song Army." Finished.Facing the direction of Wei Guohu.Wang Fu solemnly paid a military salute.

Although the two hundred soldiers of the Heitan regiment were proud and arrogant.He has always looked down on the soldiers of other brother troops.But he was also impressed by Wei Guohu's heroic deeds.Unanimously, they followed General Wang Fu and saluted in the direction Wei Guohu left.Pay tribute to the heroes in my heart.

The intensity of the battle that day was the highest since the Mongolian army attacked Xiangfan.After more than two hours.Only then did the soldiers on the city hear the order of the Mongolian army to retreat.

Looking at the traumatic outer city walls.Wang Fu said worriedly: "If Ali Hague continues to launch such fierce attacks several times. I don't know if the outer city can persist until the end of the month."

Fan Tianshun also said with a serious face: "Our army is not feeling well. The Mongols are also having a hard time. According to their military strength. Today's battle. Ali Haiya has already used at least [-]% of its troops. It will take another two or three days. Once the Mongolian army All forces were used. That was the real war."

"En. However, our army finally killed and wounded nearly [-] Mongolian soldiers in this outer city. We have completed the mission entrusted to us by the imperial court." Niu Fu smiled and said. "General Fan, General Wang. I reckon. The imperial court's instructions should also arrive."

April 22.Lu Wenhuan of the Xiangyang Military Region and Lu Shimeng, a councilor, came to Fancheng again.

After a short greeting.Lu Wenhuan said: "Three generals. The order from the Military Affairs Council has arrived. Teacher Meng. Read."

"Yes." Lu Shimeng took out the military order from his arms and read. "Generals of the Xiangyang Military Region. The military affairs council has discussed the battle on the outskirts of Fancheng. It has been approved by the emperor. The soldiers of Fancheng can withdraw to the inner city for defense as early as April 23. If they are able to continue, they can withdraw until the end of the month."

"The 23rd. That's tomorrow." Fan Tianshun said.

Lu Wenhuan said: "That's right. It's tomorrow. Three generals. Your Majesty is very satisfied with the battle on the outskirts of Fancheng. I want to emphasize this again. The primary task of our army is to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible while preserving ourselves."

"Yes. Lu Shuai. The general understands."

"En. Next, let's discuss the battle on the outskirts of Fancheng. Three. What do you think? When will we withdraw our troops?"

Fan Tianshun first expressed his opinion: "Shuai Lu. In the opinion of the last general, we should stick to it until the end of the month. For more than half a month, our army relied on the outer city wall. We killed and wounded nearly ten thousand Mongolian soldiers. The effect is still very good. Obviously. According to our estimates, Ali Hague will launch a more violent attack tomorrow. This also creates favorable conditions for us to severely damage the enemy."

"Will it be dangerous?" Lu Wenhuan was a little worried.asked. "For example, after the Mongolian army took advantage of the situation to break through. It forced our army to fight decisively outside the inner city."

Wang Fuyan said: "Lu Shuai. This possibility is not impossible. If the Mongolian army is allowed to climb the tower and our army cannot retreat to the inner city for a while, the situation that Lu Shuai said may happen. Between the outer city and the inner city. Street fighting with the Mongolian army. However, the last general thinks that General Fan is right. Since there is this opportunity, our army should give it a go.”

Lu Wenhuan said: "This kind of situation must be avoided. Such an outcome is hard to predict. If there is a mistake, even the inner city may be lost."

Niu Fu said: "I have a total of more than 4000 defenders in Fancheng. In addition to the dead and seriously injured soldiers, counting the lightly injured and the militia, there are 23 to [-] people. At present, all of them are stationed in the outer city. If they are in the outer city It is impossible to retreat to the inner city before the fall. Then there is the danger of annihilation of the entire army. The last general thinks that it is better to defend until the [-]rd. There is no need to take this risk.”

Just when Lu Wenhuan was hesitating.Lu Shimeng, who had been listening all the time, suddenly asked: "Three generals. Is there any fire oil in Fancheng?"
