Chapter 2749: Is the expedition for killing and wounding, in times of crisis, the marshal crosses the river
At this time, in Fancheng City, Wu Qijun ordered people to push the cart, which was filled with remaining flowering bullets, and was about to bury the horse road on all four walls.
But at this moment, he heard the sound of war horses running wildly on the Cross Street, coming from south to north!...When Wu Qijun and Hai Mutang raised their heads, they found that this was the adjutant who had just sent Hai Mutang to send flags to Xiangyang City.
Because the people in Fancheng need to retreat, they must summon ships from Xiangyang in advance, so the first thing Hai Mutang did was to send this person over, but he actually ran back in a blink of an eye.
The adjutant ran to the two of them. Before the horses stopped, he shouted, pointing to the south of Fancheng and shouting: "There is a boat coming across the Han River!"
"So fast?"
Hai Mutang was stunned when he heard this! The adjutant sitting on the horse in front of her jumped down while shouting: "I just started uttering flags, and the ship opposite came over. The more than thirty ships were all our soldiers!"
Hearing this, Hai Mutang suddenly woke up.
It turned out that this was after reinforcements came to Xiangyang from Master Jiang’s side, and the previous crisis had been greatly alleviated.
So when they found that the guns and cannons in Fancheng suddenly stopped and the situation was extremely bad, they immediately sent reinforcements to the north bank of the Han River! Mrs. Jiang's reaction was so fast. The rescue came at the right time!... At this time, there was already a crowd of people in Fancheng.
The 15,000 civilians who helped Hai Mutang rebuild the city wall and build the fortress have fully felt the friendship of the Huaixi New Army in the past two or three days.
Not only did they stand in the city of Fancheng, they not only fought bloody battles, but they also protected the city and the people inside, but also did not harm the people in the city.
Not only that, the silver and fields that the Tongzhou army had previously promised to the civilians were also cashed in as soon as possible.
The people who were suffering from wars and famine in the city were also distributed to the Huaixi soldiers to help them in emergency situations to prevent them from starving to death.
To be honest, these people in Fancheng have only seen official troops robbing food, but have they seen such soldiers?
So in the past two or three days, driven by more than 10,000 civilians, the people in the city have already trusted Hai Mutang, the Huaixi Army.
Under such circumstances, Hai Mutang ordered the whole city's elders that he would lead troops to block the invading Mongolian army.
All the people were asked to take refuge in Xiangyang through the ferry on the Han River, and the people in the city also expressed their extremely cooperative attitude.
Through the propaganda of the Huaixi Army, they already knew what the Mongolian Army was.
If they didn't leave now, they would be afraid that they would not be able to escape under the Mongolian army's butcher knife.
If you walk slowly or have a chaotic order, it will also allow these soldiers who have used their lives to open up a way out for them, which will increase a lot of casualties and losses! Therefore, the people of Fancheng helped the elderly and young, and all came to the streets with their packages. They lined up in a team under the organization of the civilians and husbands and walked slowly.
Even some people want to run wildly because of fear, or are usually rascals and unwilling to abide by discipline.
Under the intimidation of the wooden sticks in the hands of the civilians on both sides of the street, they also lined up according to the rules and did not dare to violate the discipline at all.
After Hai Mutang jumped onto the war horse and ran to the south gate of Fancheng, reinforcements by the Han River had already begun to get off the ship and go ashore.
When Hai Mutang learned that the 1,500 Huaixi New Army were fully equipped with ammunition and physical strength and had not suffered any losses in the previous battle, she was greatly relieved! Hai Mutang ordered the Huaixi New Army to immediately gather the incendiary bombs and grenades they carried with the army to the top of the city so that the city wall could last longer. At the same time, Hai Mutang also asked the people in Fancheng to board the ship immediately! The Huaixi Army immediately drove into the city to support the Fancheng defenders.
Hai Mutang also saw a large area of ships from Xiangyang, which were already driving towards Fancheng under the call of flags.
At this time, Hai Mutang looked at the wide open south gate of Fancheng, and the wide street was crowded with anxious people.
On the Han River outside the city, countless ships were paddling towards this side desperately... She didn't feel relaxed at all, but was still extremely anxious! In this season, the Han River was about fifteen meters wide, which was about forty-five meters.
Although the river surface is not too wide, and Xiangyang has obviously used all the ships.
But if these 700,000 to 80,000 people want to cross the river, there is not enough time for a day or a night! Thinking of this, Hai Mutang's eyes passed through the south gate of Fancheng again, followed the heads of the people like a sea of people, and looked to the north wall.
Now, across the entire Fancheng and the city walls to the north, Hai Mutang could still feel the temperature of the flames rising in the moats in the north of the city, where large areas of black smoke and hot streams soaring into the sky were soaring into the sky.
But only God knows how long the fire in the trench can burn!... At this moment, Hai Mutang found that the ships coming from the south bank had already begun to dock, and almost all of them were empty.
She hurriedly asked the soldiers to escort the people through the passage through the pier outside the south gate and boarded the ship as fast as possible.
When the people in the south gate rushed from the city gate to the dock like a flood that opened the gate.
But Hai Mutang saw a group of people walking down from several ships coming from the second batch and walking towards this side.
Hai Mutang took a look and found that among these people, the leader was Master Jiang! It turned out that Marshal Jiang found that Fancheng was extremely dangerous, so he came here in person.
Hai Mutang finally had a backbone. She had been trying hard to defend the city before, but she was still repeatedly frustrated.
Now that Marshal Jiang, who is far more intelligent than her, has arrived, Hai Mutang feels sore in his nose and tears almost flow down on the spot! At this moment, Master Jiang's wife has walked quickly to Hai Mutang.
Jiang Yuxin turned around and looked at the people of Fancheng who were rolling past like a river, and then turned to look at Hai Mutang with an excited face.
At this time, Hai Mutang immediately came over and quickly reported to Marshal Jiang about the situation during the battle today.
When she heard the enemy's skillfully using artillery and catapults, she also creatively improved the use of ten thousand enemies, which made Fancheng shaky, Miss Jiang Yuxin also frowned.
Marshal Jiang patted Hai Mutang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have done a good job. The previous city wall was well renovated.
But I didn’t expect the enemy to discover the secret of the cluster bomb so quickly... Now I officially take over the city defense!"
"yes!"
When Hai Mutang heard that Marshal Jiang was indeed here to guard Fancheng, he was immediately excited.
Chapter completed!
