Chapter 140 [Retreat becomes rout]

On the sixth day of November, the Dragon Que Army's special operations team and the storm attacked Wanning Wharf at the same time. Under the synergy between explosives and storms, eleven warehouse ships were flooded with a large amount of sea water. In addition to the impact of wind and waves, seven ships eventually sank, and the remaining four ships were seriously damaged and could not be repaired and used in the short term.

The warehouse ship was blown up, the trestle was destroyed, and the food was hard to lose. The news spread and the Yuan army camp exploded. The grain officials suddenly became rats crossing the street, and everyone chased after them. Once surrounded, the noise that was clamoring to the head was enough to swell anyone's head.

All quarrels can be summarized into one sentence: How much food and grass is left?

How much food and grass are there? Can you answer this? Lord Wanhu has already had strict orders. Who dares to leak military aircraft, put them in cloth bags, and trample them to death. Therefore, even if the grain officials were beaten to the point of bleeding, bruised noses, and even had their ribs broken, they would refuse to answer or say a number that was so exaggerated that no one could believe.

The law enforcement in the military can no longer control the situation. The world is the most important thing to eat, which is related to fullness, hunger, life and death. How can you be afraid of death?

On the third day after the ship bombing incident, the storm gradually stopped and the sea surface calmed down. However, people were panicked and the army had no intention of fighting. The entire camp was filled with signs of collapse.

Suddenly, The Hague never expected that he would lead 8,000 troops to come with confidence and fight with confidence, but he lost his troops and returned with great defeat. He originally planned to defend himself, but as long as the Dragon Que Army blocked the Dragon Que Army's way out, the mission would be completed. Unexpectedly, the Dragon Que Army used this trick to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot...

How much food and grass is left in the army? No one knows better than Huhu Hague - there is enough food for 6,000 troops for ten days. If the warehouse ship is intact, take advantage of the storm and waves to calm down, and quickly ship to the north to transport grain. At the same time, the army implements rations, and the clutch can hold on until life-saving food and grass arrive... But now it is useless to say anything. If you don't take advantage of the fact that there are still food and grass in the army, and there are warships that can be used to retreat at the wharf. If you drag it for another ten or eight days, you may not be able to leave.

In fact, in the heart of Huhuo Hague, in addition to worrying about food and grass, he was also worried about the warships on the dock. You must know that the Dragon Bird Army sentry, which is elusive and hateful, has not yet been seen. In other words, they may also raid again at any time and attack the warships. Although he has dispatched thousands of troops and set up a close defense, his opponent's firearms are terrifying, and he is really unsure whether he can defend them. The destruction of the warehouse ship is just a defeated retreat; if the warship is destroyed, it will be the end of annihilation of the entire army.

Hushu Hague had never doubted why the Song people blew up the warehouse ship but did not blow up the warship. The final conclusion was that the Song people imitated the three plans of the land war, and if they did not fall into the trap, the Song people would simply blow up the warship, and eliminate their own retreat. The consequences... Hushu Hague shivered. Now that things have come to this point, even if they know it is a plan, they have to act according to the intentions of the Song people.

On the tenth day of November, the Yuannan Army, which besieged Wan'an, suddenly lost 6,000 troops from the Hague, and all of them were drawn. More than a thousand troops were guarding the camp and defending the Longque Army's attack. The remaining troops retreated to the dock, boarded the ship and headed south, and met with Ali Hague, the commander of the Yuannan Army.

As soon as the Yuan army moved, the Dragon Bird army also moved.

Soon, the Polu Camp approached the Yuan army camp under the leadership of Ouyang Guanhou and Shi Yang. Part of the Yuan army Beiting Army and the Han army, and the new affiliated army guarded the camp, using strong crossbows and hard bows to resist. Although the Polu Camp's muskets were good, they were difficult to break the bullets in the face of the strong villages and dense fences, and they could not get close to them for a while.

As the two armies were confronting each other, bursts of explosions came from the direction of the dock, and the sound of shouts shook the sky. When the Yuan camp defenders were shocked and suspicious, shocking news came from the rear: the army gathered in the dock, and when they were boarding the ship, they were suddenly attacked by a Song army. The Song army was not large in number, but the firepower was fierce, and there were explosives suspected to be shocking thunder. They caught the guards off guard and retreated step by step. Attacking the Song army was like a sharp cone. In a short time, they broke through the third layer of the Yuan army's defense. They broke into the fastest, and suddenly lost the Hague and didn't even have time to dispatch troops to block the gap.

When a lightning cannon fell from the sky and exploded in the crowd of people on the dock, the entire dock suddenly fell into panic and chaos. The merchandise soldiers scattered in fear, cattle, horse, mules, and sheep jumped in fear, and countless people rushed to board the ship, crowded and stepped on people, and countless people fell into the sea.

The retreat changed, and the morale of the Yuan army guarding the camp was in chaos, fearing that the retreat would be cut off and no longer have the intention to stick to it, so they retreated in panic. The Hague had an order that when the defenders retreated, they needed to set fire to the camp, and the supplies that could not be taken away in the camp were burned and no one could be left for the Song people. As a result, because of the retreat in a hurry, the new army left at the end threw a few torches randomly, and the gate of the camp was broken, and a large number of Song troops rushed in. The new army soldiers ran away with their heads in their arms, and they could not care about the supplies and supplies.

The Polu camp divided up one of them to put out the fire in time, and the other one chased and killed them all the way to the seaside dock. As the chaos attacked, the Yuan army, which was already in chaos, became even worse. People and animals squeezed, and the cars overturned, and there were no officers and soldiers, and they all rushed to board the ship. How could the narrow pallet accommodate so many people? Those who were squeezed on both sides were dumplings. At this point, the Yuan army suddenly lost the Hague division completely collapsed, and a good retreat eventually turned into a major defeat.

Suddenly, the Hague and his personal guards were stunned at the bow of the boat, wanting to cry without tears.

Huhuhu Hague is also a man of a long time. His retreat arrangements are not only good, but at least the middle distance, there is no big loophole to dig into. But unexpectedly, he encountered an army with firepower completely beyond this era. His multiple defenses were quickly defeated, and even the dispatched generals could not block the leak, so he came to his eyes...

"Mustgun! Musket!" Suddenly the Hague had red eyes and roared at the Dragon Crow Army soldier who kept spitting out his tongue, "I, Dayuan, have the most top craftsmen in the world and the richest materials, which are thousands of times more manpower and material resources than you, the broken road! Zhao Lie! You wait, next time, I will bring a team of 10,000 muskets to bomb you and your Dragon Crow Army into scum!"

In the end, except for the more than 2,000 soldiers who had boarded the ship earlier, who escaped, nearly half of the other more than 3,000 soldiers fell into the sea or trampled on each other and died. The remaining nearly 2,000 soldiers, warships and a large amount of supplies and food were all captured by the Dragon Crim Army. In the case of the Dragon Crim Army, only two Li soldiers were killed in the special operations team, one Thunder Team member and two Young Team members were injured. The Polu Camp also had only more than 20 casualties. This battle was a great victory.

After receiving the good news, Zhao Lie and all the generals under his subordinates were extremely surprised. Although it was expected that the Yuan army would retreat after the food was cut off, Long Feiyi's special combat team took advantage of the situation and was expected to take advantage of the situation to raid, but unexpectedly, the sudden attack of the special combat team would cause chaos in the Yuan army, causing the Yuan army's retreat to become defeat.

It can be said that in this battle, the special operations team made great contributions, and at the same time, they also proved the power of the gun with one actual battle after another.

Unfortunately... Zhao Lie is very regretful. He is not short of guns now, only people. If the special operations team can be expanded into the special operations brigade or even the special operations battalion, perhaps, he will suddenly lose his place below the Hague and cannot escape.

Regrets are regrets. Firearms are unreplicable weapons and must be handed over to the hands of loyal people who can rest assured. It is better to have nothing than to be too bad, and take it slowly.

Seeing such a great victory, Zhao Ruohe, who knew that Wanning County was overjoyed. Before the harvest of this battle was taken into consideration, he hurriedly urged Zhao Lie to take advantage of the great victory of the entire army and rushed to send troops south to rescue the crisis in the Chaozhou.

Zhao Lie discussed with the generals that since he had broken the encirclement of the Yuan army, he was naturally unavoidable to go south to serve the king. He was just not hasty, and he had to plan well and arrange the Wan'an army. Not to mention anything else, the workload of the screening and disposal of the prisoners was too small.

Although it was a great victory, his mood was not much relaxed. The life of the Song Dynasty... Zhao Lie could only sigh, but no matter how difficult the path he chose, he had to move forward.
