In just over a month of spring, he used the lower valley defense line built for most of the winter to collapse under the accumulated offensive by the thieves. The opponent did not even have any surprises or tricks and tricks. He relied on the similar forces that both sides could not expand due to the terrain, and replenished the benefits of the equipment and relative abundant materials. He only used steady attack methods to destroy many camps he had painstakingly arranged.

The methods and steps of the thief army were also very simple. They were to shoot arrows in the sight of the official army's battalion and to flatten the ground, and then pushed up a large-tube firearm called "cannon", making a sound like thunder and bombarding the walls of the village. And how could those walls and walls built with civil and wood just to block arrows and block the passage of the walls, blocks and walls that blocked the thunderous power of these thunderous cannon balls.

Either they disintegrate and fall apart in the splashing fragments, or they are broken up with the pillars and the people are led by the whistle. The arrow towers landed on the ground and fell a large area. In this kind of chaotic bombardment and dense attack that seemed to be a landslide, the morale of the defenders, mostly earth groups, fell like a waterfall pouring down. Before the thieves started to charge, they abandoned the guards and fled in the face of casualties and horrors caused by injuries and shock.

When Song Hao got the news, he hurriedly led the team to come, but he had already lost the six large and small bases in the lower valley in one breath; he killed the deserter and rewarded and promised in front of the formation. He finally stabilized the seventh base, but the subsequent battle did not improve much. The bandits were still slowly building the road, and then pushed it up to set off firecrackers at the base.

However, when Song Hao sent out the deathful men who took the initiative to attack, it took a lot of effort to raid these seemingly busy artillery cars that were properly arranged in front of the formation; as a result, these dull and slow artillery cars were not prevented from revealing the more ferocious side. A large area of ​​white smoke suddenly burst out from the iron tube, almost covering most of these deathful men.

But after the fireworks dissipated, there were only a few people standing up in the ground; then these survivors who were in a state of despair or were overwhelmed, had not yet had time to take the steps to escape or rush, but were knocked down by the fire guns fired by the thieves, and rushed up to kill them with spikes and blades on the spot. This tragic failure scene was another heavy blow to the morale of the defenders in the basement.

If Song Hao hadn't made a quick decision to use the new force he brought to replace the original defenders from the rear, who had never seen the battle in the city, I'm afraid that they would have to follow the story of the previous base in the next moment, and turn around and flee without hesitation. But then Song Hao soon discovered these big firearms in the thief army, a flaw that was not considered a flaw.

It is when those round ball cannons hit the thick base made of soft soil, they often fall into it and can no longer jump up. They can't smash hard walls, horse-resisting horses, wooden stakes, whistle towers and the human bodies behind them, causing more casualties. This discovery suddenly reduced the casualties greatly, and also shot the strong bow and crossbow with Dongchuan's specialty, slightly blocked the routine impact of the thief army's cannon.

However, it failed to improve the unfavorable situation and decline of the Dongchuan army horses who could only passively be beaten but not fight back outside the range of the bow and arrow. Therefore, in the next matchup, Song Hao almost tried his best and racked Zuo Yao's brains, and used various countermeasures and attempts to reverse and recover.

In addition to mobilizing a lot of people to build soil to continue to set up heavy defenses in the rear; it also includes raiding enemy formations in the dark when the moon is dark and wind is high at night, and warriors from the mountains climbing over the forest from the side, while drivers behind the enemy who attacked the enemy were preventing fire and killing them to disturb them. Some people take golden drums to climb up the steep mountain walls, and clamoring day and night to harass, etc....

The result is that whether it is the warriors attacking in the dark night or the surprise soldiers who are destructive in the mountains and forests, they will cause a certain roar of firearms and the neighing of people and horses soon after they are sent out, and then no one can come back to report a correct message. And using the method of harassing the golden drum day and night, the thief army can shoot upwards to the firearms on the cliff, and soon completely calm down without knowing their lives.

However, after two or three days of long-range attacks and testing, the bandit army, who believed that they were well prepared, finally launched a strong attack; under the thief army that pushed the baffle trucks that were sporting firearms and thieves, the crossbow behind the formation had been covered and rushed to the front before they could shoot enough damage;

Then, welcoming these defenders who were waiting for the troops after being exhausted was not the swords and guns that rushed up, but another round of alternately thrown sulli-oil bombs and explosive bombs. Dust and smoke rolled, and fragments exploded and roared between them. So the brigade was completely lost in a sudden retreat with a terrified retreat.

However, at this time, Song Hao asked the new earthen trenchers that were piled up day and night in the rear, which had been used unexpectedly. Under the intimidation of these strong bows and crossbows that were relying on the earthen trench, the thieves had to stop looking for cover, and while shooting at the fire with muskets, they worked hard to dig the occupied earthen trench.

So, when the artillery carts in the rear were pushed forward and started bombarding the new earthen barrier in the distance, they could only see few figures flying away. It was obvious that the Dongchuan Army also played a trick of inserting flags everywhere, thinking that they were bluffing, but they were blindly retreating.

Then in the subsequent offensive and defensive battles between the chivalrous and defense camps, the Dongchuan Army also seemed to have found some corresponding rhythm and strategy, effectively reducing the killing and deterrent effects of the artillery bombardment. They even cut down thick pillars according to local conditions and tied them into elastic awnings and guards with strong local cloth.

Although this way, the bombardment power of the original target could not be completely blocked from the distance, it could effectively deflect the bombardment power of the original target during the process of being smashed and broken. However, the thieves also changed their methods without any hesitation and fired a burning cannon, igniting everything inside into a piece.

Then, with the thick smoke and fires that caught fire, Song Hao had to defeat a city and lead his troops to retreat temporarily. When they arrived at the next base, they had already found out with great difficulty and used the pre-made mud water to deal with the thieves' fire and arson. This also blocked the thieves' troops for two days and two nights, and the thieves' troops seemed to have stopped confrontation due to insufficient medicine.

But new changes have emerged. As the dawn broke out, the defenders in the brigade, who were exhausted by harassing all night, heard the long-lost sound of cannons again. However, this time the roar came to the water of the tributary of the upper reaches of the Fu River flowing behind. When the morning mist completely dissipated, they found that there were already several strange-looking vehicles and ships on the surface of the river.

As these vehicles and ships slowly rolled over, and fireworks radiated after fireworks, the Dongchuan Army once again exploded into the bulwarks defended by the Dongchuan Army. However, compared with the solemn front bulwarks, what was suffering this time were the baggage piled up in the rear, and the civilians who were busy working hard to dig trenches and build up obstacles and fortifications.

Compared with those front-line defenders who were initially accustomed to the possibility of killing under the bombardment, the civilians recruited and caught the enemy in the rear scattered without any accident or hesitation, running around and only discarded tools left in the ground, and the trampled fortifications. Some of the baggage was ignited, and they were dragged down by the frightened mules and donkeys and knocked them all over the ground.

Although there were only a few vehicles and ships that suddenly appeared on the water surface, they suddenly hit the key points and life gates of the Dongchuan Army. With the collapse of these builders and the loss of supplies, the so-called tactical steps of retreating calmly were once again disrupted and turned over. However, the Dongchuan Army was almost indestructible and counter-attacked for a while. They could not immediately put on their wings and flew over the water to kill the enemy.

What's more, since these pirate ships can bombard the front line of the brigade here, they can naturally continue to trace the source and bombard the relatively empty brigade behind, and even transport troops to the dock to seize and cut off their retreat, or directly take the city under the Fu River. That is, the disaster of collapse is more considerable than defeating the battle at the front.

Therefore, Song Hao issued a change of the entire army without hesitation, and took advantage of the enemy's formation that had not yet reacted, and left all his burdens and retreated to the city with all his might. However, as the saying goes, ideals are beautiful and cruel. The rhythm of fighting and walking that was originally based on many bases for alternate cover was disrupted, and the morale and calmness that Song Hao barely maintained under high pressure also appeared.

After only a few miles away, the Dongchuan soldiers who naturally stretched their troops in front and behind inevitably suffered a chain reaction collapse under the continued bombardment of the vehicles and ships that followed. Although the actual hit rate and killing effect of these extended scattered teams was limited, they could not withstand the shock of one roar after another.

The Dongchuan Army, who was walking on the ancient road for several miles in a short time, lost the last barely maintained system in the panic that spread rapidly. Then, when he was still obstructed by the next base, he was again frightened by the urging of the bombardment behind him, and almost pushed and trampled on the intact base, forcibly trampling on the corpse, rushing out a huge gap.

At this point, even if Song Hao had the ability and the world's first-class bravery could not stop these defeats. He even had to rely on his own tooth soldiers to escort left and right, constantly chop down and kill the chasing soldiers who blocked him, so as to ensure that they would not be trapped in any strange places.

Therefore, when Song Hao, who was the last one to be a lifetime, fled into the county town with most of the fangs and more than a thousand town soldiers and the state soldiers who had finally been gathered, fled into the county town without looking back. Behind the back were the bodies lying on the ground, and there were also many defeated soldiers kneeling on the river beach and shouting for surrender to the watercraft and boat.
