Chapter 493 New situation

After a day of fierce battle, Quanzhou City seemed to have returned to peace. Biqu    'ΩΔ Pavilion Ww     W.

BiQuGe.

The results of the CN the next day were initially summarized and sent to Zhao Bing's desk. In this battle, the Song army suffered more than a thousand casualties, of which more than 600 were killed. Most of the casualties were caused by seizing the foothold of the Nanchengtou. The Ruifeng Camp of the Navy alone was killed in battle, and the wounded were almost the same. It can be said that they were either killed or injured, and no one was spared, which shows the tragic battle at that time.

The front army who feinted the attack on the North City also suffered huge casualties. Their siege equipment was simple and they had to face the most fierce Detective Mass Red Army, which fought among the defenders. Therefore, the casualties left the side of the South City. However, after completely controlling the South City Wall, the casualties dropped significantly, mainly because they were injured by the ravage or by a few enemy troops who were fighting stubbornly when pursuing the remaining soldiers. It also confirmed that the enemy in the retreat had the lowest combat effectiveness.

Relatively speaking, the enemy suffered more casualties. More than 2,400 enemy corpses were collected at the top of the city and in the city, and nearly 1,000 injured enemy. However, in the subsequent defeat of the enemy, only less than 600 people were captured, and some of them were sent to the military camp by the people in the city. This shows that the enemy voluntarily gave up the East City and the West City after receiving the order to retreat and retreated into the Pu Mansion in an orderly manner.

After Zhao Bing analyzed the report, it was found that most of the enemy's casualties were caused by crossbows and grenades, while most of the casualties of his soldiers were caused by close combat, which was in line with his prediction. His success was due to advanced weapons and equipment, but there was still a gap with the enemy in terms of melee capabilities. Of course, there were also related to the enemy's occupation of favorable terrain, and the factors of individual soldiers were not ruled out, because the northerners were better than the southerners in terms of body shape and physical fitness, and one-on-one battle was born at a disadvantage.

The generals were surprised by this battle, but they were also very excited. Because in previous battles, unless the opponent took the initiative to surrender or had an overwhelming advantage in combat power, they would have to pay several times, or even more than ten times the enemy's casualties to win. As the siege side, only paying half of the price of the defender, it can be called a great victory in one day.

However, Zhao Bing was not satisfied, because the casualties of these veterans could be called the team he brought out. In the most intense battle of Yashan, his soldiers had never suffered such a large casualties, which made him extremely heartbroken. The deaths of these people were just to get money. Although they were needed to raise money to restore the country, they still made him feel guilty, and he felt that he might not be suitable for this turbulent era and be an iron-blooded king.

But Zhao Bing knew that since he had not caught up with the good times, he came to this unlucky time and was forced to embark on this journey of hegemony without turning back. He could only wipe away his cheap tears and put away his compassionate heart and walk on without hesitation. Even if there is no hope ahead, full of bumps and thorns, he will pounce on it and crawl over...

The city has been captured, and Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang are busy laying down city defenses, rectifying public security, taking over the treasury in the city, and appeaseing the people. Pu Shougen's house is also surrounded by layers of land, and seems to have become a tiger locked in a cage, but everyone knows that as long as it is not removed for a day, it will always be a cancer. Those wealthy merchants who think of it are lucky and unwilling to cooperate with the court, and even secretly planning anti-Song matters. The reinforcements coming from all over the place will also make the people in the city uneasy, and they are worried that the court will not be able to deal with Pu Shougen and cannot stop the enemy reinforcements, so they are also in a wait-and-see state.

Therefore, we must not only break through the Pu Mansion as soon as possible, but also fight a defensive battle. Zhang Shijie and Zhao Mengjin are in the city, and only Liu Zhu, the navy outside the city, all dispatched them. Of course, Zhao Bing cannot rest assured. The injured officers and soldiers cannot stay here for a long time. Today they will return to Qiongzhou for further treatment and send back the remains of the dead. After he went to the navy camp to see him off, he used this reason to inspect the defense outside the city. Ying Jieyan naturally knew the emperor's little thoughts. If he blocked him, he would be cheating, so he could only let him go, but he told Ni Liang to protect His Majesty and not let him enter the city.

Zhao Bing then transferred to the Warriors, and under the escort of several other dragon boats, he moved from the bay to the seakou of Jinjiang into the inland river. He looked through the window and saw that Quanzhou City was on the east bank of Jinjiang. At this time, Quanzhou had become a metropolis in the southeast, but compared with the later generations, the population was much smaller, and the vegetation was still well maintained. The silt in Jinjiang and Quanzhou Bay was not serious. It was still very different from later generations. At that time, Quanzhou Port brought continuous silt through Jinjiang and the continuous silt of sand brought by Jinjiang, which had expanded several times to the south, and the Jinjiang Plain also expanded into the sea. Zhao Bing, who was used to seeing the changes in the world, no longer had the fuss and so many feelings at the beginning.

The ship was surging upwards. There were few tributaries on this section of the river, the river channel was smaller than the drop, and the water flow was not fast, so the ship was traveling very quickly. The brave army on the river surface saw the Warrior coming and joined the escort team. More than a dozen dragon boats were marching through the waves on the river surface and were also spectacular. Zhao Bing had no intention of enjoying the river view of the early summer, but asked them to slowly walk for observation. Now that summer has just begun, there is still little precipitation, so the water volume is not abundant. The river bank is exposed, the widest water surface is about 200 steps, and the narrowest part is more than 100 steps.

Judging from the turbid river water and the splashes stirred by the oars, Zhao Bing estimated that the water depth was about two meters, and large ships were difficult to pass, so the guards were all small and medium-sized gunships and rocket ships. He was not worried that he could not defeat the Yuan naval army because they no longer had naval army, and warships were detained in the port, and the ships on the river were towed to the east bank of the river. If you want to find a ship, you had to go up at least a hundred miles. However, the shallow water on the beach was slow, which was conducive to building a floating bridge.

He felt that he had thought of it, and there was no reason for the Yuan army on the west bank to be logged and tied up rafts, thinking that he was preparing to build a bridge. Zhao Bing did not want to disturb the Yuan army at this moment. They did not have the help of the navy and wanted to build a bridge on the river where warships were rampant on their side. He just needed to dispatch a dragon boat to destroy their pontoon bridge and let them have a waste of time.

‘Bang!’

"Your Majesty, the 'Dare' number seems to have been hit!" Guan Tong reported at this time.

"Inquiry about the situation!" Zhao Bing asked.

"Your Majesty, you dare to be penetrated by an iron bullet on the port side of the magistrate, and no casualties were found!"

"What else did you see just now?" Zhao Bing asked anxiously. He had heard a muffled sound before, very much like the sound of gunpowder explosion.

"Your Majesty, there was a flash of gunpowder explosion on the West Bank. Yes, the smoke has not yet dissipated!" Guan Tong reported again after confirming.
