Chapter 968

The rapid assault became the last straw that crushed Habichi. The fierce artillery fire harvested Nian Qiang's life. The injured war horses were wailing and dragging their masters to rush into the team. The various units of the Song army continued to break into the array, and the formation was chasing with guns and stabbing. Habichi realized that only by leaving contact can he have the opportunity to regroup, so he turned his head and retreated.

Habichi's idea was good, but he forgot that the Jianding Army was just a group of children with no practical experience, and after being hit hard, he was already in panic and retreated immediately. However, this retreat was not a big deal and he could not stop the car at all. The soldiers who were eager to escape from the bloody battlefield retreated without looking back, and they could not achieve their goal of reorganizing.

The road was close to the water and the forest. People instinctively worried that the Song army would drive to the water, so they chose to approach the mulberry forest. At this moment, the Second Division's personal guard camp in the forest had not yet had time to attack and encircle the enemy's flanks as planned, so the Yuan army retreated. Seeing that the commander of the personal guard camp could no longer act according to the plan, the Yuan army would slip away from under his nose, and immediately made a decision to rush out of the mulberry forest, shooting and intercept it. After receiving the enemy, he used grenades to open the way, and threw it into the enemy group as if he was not rich.

The Yuan army, which was intercepted on the flank, was even more chaotic at this time. They were eager to run and had no intention of resisting, and rushed over one after another. Although the guard camp failed to complete the task, they also peeled off a layer of Habichi's skin. Then they joined the pursuit team without stopping and rushed into Guabu Town with the defeated army.

Habichi looked at his team. There were only more than a hundred cavalry around him, and they all looked frightened. Several young soldiers were trembling immediately and were unable to fight again. But most of the Song army was chasing him at the back. Thinking about it, they could only retreat into the town first, gather troops before making plans. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the town, he saw many people gathering there, carrying swords and bows, as if he was going to pick him up, and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

When we got closer, we found that the streets were full of people, men, women, young and old, as if they were besieging their Qianhu House. Habichi was shocked and grabbed a person to ask, and then he learned that the Song army had been in the town and found the corpses of the Southern Army who died inside when they were found. After being discovered, he rushed into the Qianhu House in a panic. After Aolu discovered it, he led the team that had just assembled to attack Qianhu House, trying to destroy them. However, the house was too strong, and the Song army resisted stubbornly, and the Dudian, who was serving inside, also rebelled and helped them defend the city.

The Southern Army, which was eager to jump over the wall, set fire to block the attack. Now, under the command of Aolu, although there were many casualties, they had broken the gate and rushed into the courtyard. However, the Southern Army vowed not to surrender, and the battle between the two sides was still ongoing, fighting with the enemy from house to courtyard. However, the enemy was very tenacious, and they made little progress and had not yet attacked the inner house.

When Habichi heard this, his eyes turned black and he vomited blood, almost falling off his face. The results of his battles and years of business were all in this house. Not only did he hide his life savings, but his wife and children were also in it. Now he was regarded as a battlefield. Wouldn't he be destroyed by his family and be busy for most of his life?

Looking at the situation in front of him, Habichi not only regretted it, but he realized that the Southern Army's massive crossing of the river was because of the soldiers of the lost Jiangbei who were surrounded by him. What he regretted was why he was rushing to chase the Southern Army across the river and was trying to let them escape. And it was okay to chase them. Why didn't he turn his mind at that time? He threw the corpses into the river and threw them into the wild? How could he not deal with it well? He had to put the soldiers at his doorstep to show his life to the public! Not only did he attract great revenge from the Song army, but his family also destroyed.

I hate the Song army that is really cruel. For the sake of a dozen people, I will use the army to destroy my own door. I can discuss it and send it back to you. Isn’t it over? I also hate those friendly troops. It’s only a few dozen miles away, and I lighted up beacons and sent people to deliver letters. As a result, a day passed, and I didn’t even see the reinforcements. Could it be that the land in Jiangbei is all my Habichi?

In addition, Habichi hated these subordinates in front of him, and there were so many Song troops. You didn't go to fight, but you just stared at a few Song troops who sneaked into the town and chased them unyieldingly. What's the use of those bones? Just let them leave. It's okay if you chase someone and fight, but you just chase them into your mansion. Why don't you let them enter your house? Now, not only will your home be destroyed, but you will end up with so many people? Not only will you die, but when the Song army catches up, you will also be robbed.

"Qianhu, the Southern Army has caught up with me, what should I do?" At this time, the Baihu, who had been cut off from behind, also entered the town and asked panting.

"What else can I do? Let's run!" Habichi sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Qianhu, the Southern Army appeared behind us and in the south. Where can I retreat?" Baihu asked anxiously.

"Where can you retreat? You can't retreat to the south of the Yangtze River. I want to go to Duwanhu Mansion, go to Duwanhu, and go to the right to sue Brother Du. They will refuse to save their lives, so that our entire army will be destroyed. We must not let them go!" Habichi gritted his teeth and said, "You can't live anymore, so no one can live well."

"Thousand Houses, those people..."

"Let them hold on for a while, otherwise no one can leave!" Habichi's family is now destroyed, and he is a bachelor, and he is free from worries. What are these tribes? He snorted coldly.

After Habichi finished speaking, he walked east through the streets, and the defeated people quickly urged the horse to follow. The people gathered in the town had a flexible mind. When they heard the shouts of killing outside the town, they realized that things were not good, and followed Qianhu's footsteps. When the remaining people found something wrong, they had no intention to fight. They cursed Habichi and Wuyi dispersed, but it was not so easy to leave at this time...

Habichi went to complain with a lot of resentment. In fact, he really misunderstood others. They were still trying to rescue them at this time, but they were suffering from the obstacles of the road and it was difficult to make progress. They had to not want to save them.

The reinforcements from Changlu Town were the closest and came the fastest. They also knew that their side and Habichi Qianhu were dependent on each other and could help each other. Once they were annihilated, they would have to support the situation alone, so the rescue was the most active. Five teams of 100 people came. However, when they came to Chushui to prepare to cross the river through the pontoon bridge, the pontoon bridge was bombed into several sections with a few loud bangs and left with the rolling river.

Building a pontoon bridge is not easy. It requires not only ships, but also other materials, and technology. Where can I find it now? And the flags of the southern army on the other side are waving, obviously, they have been prepared for it, so how could they allow them to build a pontoon bridge safely? The leading deputy Qianhu thought about it. Even if everything is done, building a bridge will not be completed in a short while. Let’s find another solution!

All fools know that without a bridge, crossing the river is the best and fastest way. So they started to search for ships along the river, but since the Song army blocked the Yangtze River, shipping was cut off, and merchant ships and cargo ships were nowhere to be seen. However, there were still small boats for fishing and ferrying. After a while, they were busy and even those who were scared and robbed, they really brought more than 30 ships.

However, they soon discovered that the ship was too narrow, and it was impossible to cross with people and horses. But the rescuers were like putting out fires, so they chose a team of 100 people to abandon their horses and take the boat to cross the river to seize the ferry, and then try to cross the horses across the river. But the Song army was not a fool. They had already set up positions at the ferry. When they were halfway through the river, they first bombarded with mortars.

This is the first time that the Mongolian army in Jiangbei has seen this new type of firearm. An oval iron lump with small wings fell from the sky with a harsh roar. It would be fine if it fell into the water. Most of them would be watered by the raised water column. A few unlucky ones were hit by shrapnel and blood spilled on the river. If they accidentally fell into the boat, they would fall into reasonable feeding. Even if there was no explosion, it would be enough to smash a hole as big as a basin on the bottom of the boat, and there was no way to block it. The final result was almost the same. The difference was that one was feeding the turtle alive and the other was feeding the turtle dead.

Even though they were lucky enough to escape the bombardment of artillery fire, when they were about to step onto the land, they were greeted with another crackling explosion. Hundreds of guns were aimed at a small boat and fired. Not only did the people become sieves, but the boats were all turned into colanders. No one in this world could successfully cross the river with colanders. Of course, the old monk Bodhidharma who could cross the river with one reed was not counted, but how many Bodhidharmas were there in the world? I’m afraid they only heard of legends and no miracles were seen.

After the failed boat ferry, they were still not discouraged and tried to find the shallows, but the Chushui River was not a small river at the doorstep. It didn't want to stop flowing everywhere like modern times, so how could it be found? One plan failed and another thought was that the Jurchens could cross the river on the past, why couldn't they try it? So everyone found a place where the water flow was smooth, but often the water flow was wide. After they finally crossed halfway, they found that the Song army on the other side had also shifted their positions and was quietly waiting for them to enter the range!

Despite the repeated failures in crossing the river, the Yuan army in Changlu Town still insisted on finding a way to cross the river. However, Habichi obviously couldn't hold on anymore. Not only did he stop waiting for others, but he also had to sue them for not saving them when they saw death. No matter who said that, it was wronged than Dou E...

Duge Wanhu Mansion stationed in Liuhe also attached great importance to it after seeing the beacon fire. Duge immediately ordered troops to help, but each thousand households stationed in all directions, and it was difficult to assemble. So he led the Qianhu Mansion directly stationed in Liuhe to set out first and notified the three thousand households in Guabu Town to immediately raise the reinforcements of the Qianhu Mansion. Because he knew that the Qianhu Mansion of Habichi and Qianhu Mansion of Changlu Town were two outpost positions on his side. Once they were lost, the first person to be threatened was himself, and he could not help him.

The troops immediately set off after being ordered. The initial itinerary was very smooth, but when they approached Guabu Town, the resistance followed. At this time, the Southern Army had already arranged defense lines on the marching road, dug trenches, and placed horse-resisting horses. For these pediatric things, these warriors who had been through battle formations naturally would not take them seriously. They immediately sent forwards to clear the roadblocks and fill the trenches.

But they found that the Song army was very unethical. They not only piled up the dirt excavated inside, forcing them to transport soil from there to fill the land, but also kept sniping with cold guns and cold cannons. It took a lot of effort and killed forty or fifty people, finally filled the trenches, but they did not even hurt the hairs of the Southern Army. But when they dragged the barricades with ropes and charged with horses, they suddenly heard two "bangbang" sounds, two huge shells flew out from the opponent's position and exploded in front of them.

Although everyone was startled and the war horses were a little scared, no one was injured. The Yuan army, who was furious, was furious and immediately charged. However, just after rushing for dozens of steps, the war horses fell to the ground. The unprepared riders were thrown off the horse or pressed under them. Before they could get up, they were on the verge of the horses that were galloping behind them. They also ended up being overturned. When they finally stopped the horses and checked, they found that the road was full of horse-rejected nails. How could the war horses not be injured after stepping on them?

Brother Du now understands that the Song army fired the cannon just now not to live ammunition, but to throw away the horse-repellent nails. But there is no way to do that after knowing it, there is only one road, and it can only pass from here, so he can only send someone to hold a shield and clear the horse-repellent nails on the road. But how could the Song army let them pick it up and keep firing guns at the people who cleaned the road, as if they were taking them as targets. Although those people leaned down and held the shield, they were all futile, and casualties continued to increase.

After paying a considerable price, the horse-rejected nail was removed and Brother Du launched a charge again. This time, there was a sudden loud noise under the road surface, and flying shrapnel splashed everywhere. The war horse either opened its stomach or exploded its legs. At first, they thought that as long as they could break through, they would be safe, but bursting sounds followed by, even though the war horse in front avoided by speed, the one behind was hit by the saplings.

Brother Du had to order to stop the attack again. He didn't know what ambush the Song army would set up on the road. There were rolling mounds in front of them, and there were obviously trenches waiting for them. As for the horse-rejecting nails and mine formations behind him, he would be dragged to death here. He looked left and right and left, and there were rice fields with good seedlings on both sides of the road. As an old farmer who changed his career, he knew that although the water in the fields was only a foot, there was no depth of mud below. People should be careful not to be trapped when walking in it. They could not even pull out their hooves when the horse entered.
