"Master, you're ready!" Sima Huang Fan of the Fifth Brigade pushed Luo Datongdao staring at the battlefield.

"The artillery fire must be strong and the speed must be fast. Take all the people back before the enemy can react!" Luo Datong stared at Huang Fan and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, the chief magistrate will complete the task!" Huang Fan stood attentively and saluted.

"Be careful, there are too many of us that brothers cannot come back. You must come back for me!" After Luo Datong returned the gift, he put his hands on his shoulder and patted him hard for a few strokes and said excitedly.

"Don't worry, we have not accompanied His Majesty to Tokyo yet, so we will not die!" Huang Fan smiled, saluted again, turned to the city.

Luo Datong stood on the city wall and watched him leave. At this time, several teams of soldiers had already assembled under the city. After Huang Fan came down to the city, soldiers immediately moved away to resist the horse. A path that only two people had cleared was cleared there. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers came out of the passage one after another, took advantage of the shadow of the river embankment and then stopped.

A soldier took out the fire note and shook it. With a "puff" sound, he drew a flame. He drew a circle in the air and swayed left and right a few times. The sound of cannons suddenly rang out, breaking the silent night. This shelling concentrated all the medium-sized artillery of the Fifth Brigade's Artillery Regiment and strengthened the heavy artillery regiment of the Artillery Brigade, with a total of more than 40 artillery pieces, and launched artillery attacks before the battle.

The river channel is only twenty meters wide. With the medium and heavy artillery equipped by the Song army, it can be said to be seamlessly covered. Even if interval shooting is used to ensure the continuity of firepower, it can still ensure that indiscriminate shooting covers every inch of land on the front. In the eyes, it seems that a burning fire wall is advancing forward, which can be said that no grass grows where the artillery fire passes.

Luo Datong looked at the sky reddened by artillery fire, and seemed to be deaf about the thunderous sound of cannons. The roar of "District, don't open the city, don't save us..." still echoed in his ears, bringing his thoughts back to the daytime battle, and his heart was filled with regret.

After today's battle began, the Mongolian and Yuan army could only continue to use the human sea tactics to charge in order to find a way out, but they were not all good at it, and they also looked for the weaknesses of the Song army's defense in the battle. The enemy soon discovered that the Song army's firepower points were prominent outside the town, which not only gave them great damage to the subsequent reinforcements, but also became an obstacle in the attack, making it impossible for them to quickly mobilize their troops to consolidate the breakthrough after the breakthrough.

In addition, the enemy also found that these firepower points hanging outside the main position were also the weakness of the Song army. While maintaining the pressure on the town, they mobilized heavy troops to try to pull out these firepower points and eliminate the confidant problems during the attack. At the same time, they did not have the intention of surrounding the points and attacking aid, so as to lure the Song army out of the town for rescue. They could take the opportunity to enter a melee and find an opportunity to seize the village gate.

Luo Datong also quickly discovered the change in the enemy's tactics. The firepower points on the periphery are generally united with a squad with a hundred-subs gun, and a mortar squad is supported by a squad. The troops vary slightly according to the size of the firepower points, but the maximum number of troops is only fifty. Each firepower point can support each other and can receive reinforcements from long-range artillery in the town.

If we follow the previous battle scale, the allocation of troops in the firepower point is enough, and at least we can protect ourselves. However, the scale of the enemy's attack in this battle is far more than the battles participated by the Fifth Brigade, and the position is chosen to be above the earth platform. However, this height does not have an advantage in the surrounding flat terrain, and soon falls into the dilemma of being attacked from all sides.

When Luo Datong saw the firepower point outside the town, under the siege of thousands of enemy troops, it was like a few small reefs in the stormy waves on the sea, constantly washed away by waves of surging waves. As the saying goes, "There are many ants to kill the elephants." Although the firepower point could initially be severely killed by cross-fire, it soon became too busy to take care of itself and fell into a situation of fighting on its own. The artillery arranged in the town, under the fierce attack of the enemy, had tried its best to provide support to the firepower point outside the town, but it was ineffective. The enemy used the gap between the artillery to cool down and stop shooting to assault.

Seeing the firepower points coming out were flooded one by one under the enemy's tide attack; watching their soldiers, their brothers fought back to death, and some people hung grenades on their bodies and rushed into the enemy group. Some people had no time to load ammunition, so they jumped out of the fortifications with bayonets to fight against the enemy. When the enemy approached, the artillery ignited the shells and threw them directly at the enemy. When the enemy rushed into the position, they loaded the shells into the cannon chamber, and blew them up with the enemy together.

When the position could no longer be defended, almost every position issued flag words to the command post, but it did not ask for rescue, but asked the governor not to send troops out of the city to rescue them. Luo Datong also saw that after the capture of the position, the Mongolian Yuan enemy, who suffered great casualties, not only dismembered the bodies of the dead Song soldiers and vented their anger, but also beheaded the captured soldiers at the bottom of the city to demonstrate to the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

This scene made Luo Datong feel sad and angry, but he still had a trace of calmness in his mind. He did not order to risk going out of the city to rescue and stop the registrar commander who was no longer calm. He only ordered to strengthen fire support for several firepower points that had not yet been lost. The artillery soldiers were also red-eyed and continued to shoot despite the danger of the artillery bombing, and finally resolved the crisis. The enemy stopped fighting until the darkness, but they still siege several firepower points with heavy troops...

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the rescue troops defeated the enemy and began to return to the city one after another. They rescued more than 200 trapped officers and soldiers and collected more than 100 remains of corpses. But their sacrifice was not worthless. This small army not only killed a large number of enemy troops, but also delayed the enemy for a whole day. Luo Datong personally sent the wounded soldiers to the medical hospital for rescue, and paid tribute to the dead, temporarily placing the corpses in the temple. After everything was handled, the east was already bright and the war would begin again.

Surprisingly, the enemy did not continue to attack the city, but turned to the old way of the north of the town. Luo Datong was puzzled. Everyone thought that it might be possible to attack the city for two days. The enemy suffered heavy casualties but failed to advance, so they chose to break through outside the town. However, they did not know that Fu Li's enemy had been defeated and fled. Tu Tuha was facing the situation of being attacked from both sides, so they were eager to break through.

Although the situation is unclear, the fierce battle is no less than the previous two days. Faced with the enemy coming to attack, the Song army relied on the fortifications built to resist the enemy. Although the enemy's offensive was fierce, the Song army was not inferior to the momentum. When the two armies were fighting fiercely, the cavalry brigade launched an assault on the Mongolian and Yuan army. Everyone knows that once the cavalry successfully deviated to the enemy's side, they could launch a surprise attack and take the initiative in the state of insufficient preparations. Even if the enemy can eventually organize effective resistance, it will have to pay a considerable price.

In the past, when the two armies fought, most of the battles were fought by infantry troops. After relying on powerful firearms to kill and injure the enemy cavalry, they then pursued the defeated enemy. In addition, the Song army had few cavalry, and established cavalry were used as strategic reserves and would not be used easily. The Mongolian and Yuan army was in a passive defense in this battle, and the advantages of cavalry over infantry, as well as tactics such as fast maneuvering and detour attacks were not very useful to the Song army.

After several defeats in the battles, the Yuan army also realized that under the sharp firearms of the Song army, the unfavorable cavalry and shooting effect began to decline. Because under the attack of the firearms, the attacks of the light cavalry and archers of the infantry will inevitably suffer greater losses. The Song army infantry equipped with flintlock rifles and bayonets can undertake both long-range attacks and melee hand-to-hand combat tasks, and can easily achieve shooting and impact conversion, greatly strengthen their combat capabilities, making it difficult for them to gain advantage in field battles.

Therefore, since the outbreak of the war, the Song army's cavalry has been in a state of being so-called and has not played a real role. However, this does not show that the Song army's cavalry is not strong in combat, and the Imperial Guard Cavalry Brigade has formed an army as early as Qiongzhou. It has been extremely strict in training and the best equipment. It can be said to be the elite in the army. They suddenly killed people from the side and behind, which immediately disrupted the enemy's attack. The Mongolian and Yuan army fought and retreated, and the Song army did not give them a chance. They chased and killed the enemy's cavalry and inevitably encountered it.

The Mongolian Yuan started with cavalry and shooting, and all guards in the personal army were also organized. The Mongolian Yuan Qinzhan Guards were even more powerful in the enemy. They were skilled in fighting with archery and horses, and did not participate in military farming training like the Han army, so they still maintained their original combat effectiveness. However, the cavalry brigade of the imperial guards was not weak, and the courage and skillful tactics they showed in fighting against the Yuan cavalry were actually not much lower than those of the enemy. Especially at this moment, the Song army occupied the initiative on the battlefield.

The two sides were difficult to separate in the wilderness. Fang Sheng, the commander of the cavalry brigade, also led his troops to charge. During the battle, he changed his horse three times and killed Jia Mao, the deputy commander of the central guard of the Han army. The commander of the commander of the Han army, was like this. It can be seen that the battle was only fierce. The soldiers under his command also fought hard without retreating, desperately fighting the enemy, fighting hard, and out of the enemy.

However, the guard cavalry brigade had only a few thousand people, which was still weak for tens of thousands of Mongol Yuan cavalry, especially the Qinzhan Guards put a lot of pressure on them. As the casualties increased, Fang Sheng led his troops and retreated, preparing to leave the battlefield. However, the enemy was chasing him and worried that retreating into the position would break down his defense line, so he led his troops to retreat north.
