Chapter 1336 1012. Abandon the Outer City

"The Yuan thief retreated!"

"The Yuan thief retreated!"

A tide of cheers sounded above and below the city.

This war was not easy, and many people even thought they would not be able to defend the outer wall. And they would be buried here forever.

Because the Yuan army had 40,000 people and had broken countless gaps, there was really a great hope of breaking the city. No, it could not even be said to be possible, but it would inevitably be able to break the city.

At this time, the Yuan army retreated, which was a real luck for the Song army soldiers and the people in the city.

It was their perseverance in fighting spirit that made the Yuan army feel timid.

This made the Yuan army soldiers no longer dare to rush into the city without any hesitation.

If it weren't for this, the Yuan army would not have retreated.

Only at the top of the city, Huang Hua and others still had serious expressions.

Although the man's city wall has been held for the time being, it is already full of holes. If you continue to fight like this, the outer city will eventually be broken.

What is even more worrying is that the two city walls in the east and west can stop the Yuan army.

After all, at this time, the guards were only about 2,000 at the east and west walls, but the Yuan army had more than 20,000.

Especially if A Shu personally led the soldiers to the west of the city, it might even be more than 30,000. Even if there are fewer, they will never be missing.

His army was outside Changle County and did not suffer much damage.

Not to mention the people in the city, most of the righteous men in the martial arts world gathered under the south wall. At this time, they were bound to support the east and west walls, and it was inevitable that they would be out of reach.

Gao Tianzong hurried to the top of the city with his wounds and asked Huang Hua: "Empression, will we go to the east and west sides to provide assistance immediately?"

Huang Hua looked at the bloody wound on his arm and sighed softly, "The soldiers have fought hard until now, do they have the strength to continue fighting?"

Gao Tianzong lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

A person's physical strength is limiting.

Even though he wanted to lead his army to the east and west sides to resist the Yuan army, he also understood that it was difficult for the soldiers to continue fighting.

They were nervous at this southern city wall and fought with the Yuan army for such a long time. It was difficult for them to kill the Yuan army.

Armors and swords and guns are made of iron. But the body of soldiers is not made of iron.

Even if he led his army to pass by at this time, it would be difficult for the soldiers to regain their previous bravery.

Huang Hua looked back at the depths of the city, sighed deeply again, and said, "Send the order and let the soldiers retreat to the inner city!"

After all, he planned to abandon the outer city.

Attacking the east and west walls are all the new Yuan army forces, and the hope of defending the city walls is really slim.

Gao Tianzong hesitated a little, "Pussy Envoy, if he abandons the outer city, then..."

Huang Hua murmured: "The home is gone, and it can still be rebuilt. But if the soldiers are gone, then the people of Fuzhou City will be gone. Fuzhou City... will no longer exist."

Just as A Shu was unwilling to pay too much price to capture Changle County, Huang Hua actually didn't want the soldiers to die in vain on this outer city wall.

He has done his best to do. If he can't hold on, he can't hold on. If he can't hold on, he will only ruin Changle County in vain.

He had no way to continue to protect those people who were unwilling to take refuge in the inner city temporarily.

As a pacifier, he must put the overall situation first.

The overall situation at this time is the vast majority of Changle County people in the inner city.

Gao Tianzong heard Huang Hua's whisper, and stopped talking, gritted his teeth, and finally ran away to pass the order.

A green arrow was lifted out of the sky at the top of the city and then exploded in the air.

The soldiers on the top of the city walked down the city.

There was such a shout, "Retreat to the inner city! Retreat to the inner city!"

The soldiers and people from Fuzhou everywhere gathered toward the two main streets and headed towards the inner city.

There were many corpses carrying robes on their backs.

They were unwilling to leave the bodies of these brothers outside.

Falling leaves return to their roots.

If it were not forbidden to do so, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty would not leave any brothers, even if they were brothers who had already died.

The south city wall gradually became empty.

And at the two city walls, east and west, the big battle continues.

Two Yuan troops attacked the city together.

With no thunder on the tops of the two cities, it is only a matter of time before they break the city.

Toward the east and west, the Song Dynasty hot air balloons on the two walls were only struggling to support each other on the Yuan army hot air balloons.

Zhi Yongshou, Kui Yinghao and others were on the city wall, their faces were extremely serious.

The dense Yuan army under the city and the continuous explosions of thunders made them feel extremely oppressed.

In fact, no one thought he could defend the two city walls of the east and west.

You know, even the southern city wall, which had the most stringent defense, was almost broken by the Yuan army. So many Yuan army were not easy to deal with.

With this little force in Changle County, defending the outer city is not as good as defending the inner city.

So after seeing the green arrow in the air, Zhi Yongshou, Kui Yinghao and others did not hesitate much.

They asked the people under the city to retreat first.

Then there are the people on the city, and then the righteous men in the martial arts world.

It was not until the end that the Fuzhou garrison soldiers on the top of the city finally retreated from the top of the city.

It sounds fast, but this process actually lasts for two quarters of an hour.

The army cannot retreat just by saying that it is necessary, especially during the battle.

If it weren't for the fact that the people were still helping with ammunition, promoting gun chariots, etc., this time would have been longer.

The Yuan army exploded a gap on the city wall more than ten minutes ago.

On the city walls on the east and west sides, only Fuzhou garrison soldiers were fighting with the Yuan army.

It was not until the people who promoted gunfire and other military commanders gradually left, and the generals of the Song army issued an order to abandon the city wall and retreat to the inner city.

Inside the city walls on the east and west sides, the soldiers of the Fuzhou garrison were fighting and retreating.

They never completely gave up resistance because they retreated, because they also wanted to buy time for the people to enter the inner city.

This kind of fighting and retreating inevitably made many Fuzhou soldiers unable to return to the inner city.

Of course, if this is not the case, there seems to be no other way.

If they retreat, the Yuan army will advance, which is inevitable. If they retreat in a hurry, the loss of their efforts may be greater than the war and retreat.

Unless the Yuan army had not yet broken the city, the soldiers would quickly retreat into the city. In this way, the weapons would be left to the Yuan army. The people would suffer heavy casualties.

The soldiers of Fuzhou can now ignore the people who are stubborn in the outer city, but it is impossible for them to ignore the people who are fighting against the enemy in a great way.

The situation of fighting and retreating is within the expectations of the generals. At the same time, it is also the price they are willing to pay.

This is because the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were the patron saints of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting once said that the people of the Song Dynasty can kill the enemy. But before the soldiers of the Song Dynasty completely fell, I would never want the people of the Song Dynasty to go to battle and kill the enemy!

The shouts of killing gradually approached the inner city.

There is also a moat outside the inner city of Fuzhou. However, this river is not as spacious as the moat in the outer city.

The dazzling array of flower boats in Hanoi in the past are now gone.

Only a few bridges are left that connect the city.

The soldiers who were formerly guarding the north wall rushed to the city first.

Afterwards, Huang Hua, Gao Tianzong and others led the soldiers and the righteous men of the martial arts world back from the southern city gate.

As soon as I arrived outside the inner city, I laid many defense lines on the stone bridges and city gates.

Huang Hua ordered: "Send the order to blow up all bridges immediately after returning to the city!"

Gao Tianzong was slightly stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.

If the bridge is blown up, the people who stayed in the outer city will be able to let the Yuan army slaughter it.

However, in order to protect the people gathered in the inner city, it is inevitable to blow up the bridge.

Those stubborn people, if they are not nice, are really self-defeating.

And in any era and place, there seems to be no shortage of such people.

A scout ran to the west, east and north.
