"Let me go!" With Wang Dan's roar, the Song army in front of him immediately loosened the rope in his hand, and a piece of long logs immediately rolled down the hillside. The Jiaozhi people who were attacking up the mountain road below saw the rolling logs and fled in panic. Unfortunately, their legs could not escape the rolling logs. As a result, many people vomited blood on the spot, and even if they were not dead, they were seriously injured.

A pile of logs rolled down, and the Jiaozhi people who were attacking upward were also repelled again. They did not dare to make any moves for the time being, which also made Wang Dan laugh with great relief, and then he said a few words to the few around him. Then he turned around and came to a flat ground halfway up the mountain. Zhao Hao, Commander Cao and others were already waiting for him here.

Speaking of which, Zhao Hao and the others were really unlucky. They originally planned to stay in Shenglong Mansion City waiting for rescue, but unexpectedly, Li Gande had already dug a water diversion channel to lure the river water of several tributaries of the Fuliang River to Shenglong Mansion City. Fortunately, the terrain of Shenglong Mansion is relatively high, which makes not much water flowing into the city, and does not even cause any casualties, but also makes Shenglong Mansion a land of marina.

What's worse is that because the water came too suddenly, Wang Dan and the others had no preparations before. As a result, a lot of supplies were flooded, and other things were better. The key is that many firearms were stained with water and could not be used for the time being. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Song army, Wang Dan and the others, plummeted. After all, firearms have always been the iconic weapon of the Song army. Generally, as long as firearms appear on the battlefield, it almost laid the foundation for victory for the Song army.

On the day when Shenglong Mansion was flooded, Li Gande commanded the army to launch a fierce attack on Wang Dan and the others. This time it was not the small fight before, but the real strong attack. Although the combat effectiveness of these Jiaozhi people was not strong, the number was several times that of theirs. In addition, they lost most of the firearms, which made Wang Dan and the others feel very uncomfortable when fighting. So they couldn't resist for a while, and the front line retreated again and again.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Hao was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. Fortunately, Wang Dan and Commander Cao ordered these veterans on the battlefield to finally stabilize the front after shrinking the defense line. Li Gande could no longer advance half a step, and this finally restored Zhao Hao to some confidence.

However, although the front line has stabilized, the city of Shenglongfu is full of water, and even the place where they sleep cannot be found. What's worse is that Li Gande actually threw the dead bodies into the city with a catapult. These corpses were soaked in water and would rot and smell bad in no time, causing a plague. This move is extremely vicious.

In this case, Wang Dan and the others immediately discussed it, and then proposed to Zhao Hao to withdraw from Shenglong Mansion City, because there was only one dead end to stay in the city. As for the retreat location, they also thought about it. Just southwest of Shenglong Mansion City, there was a relatively high mountain peak, and the flood would definitely not flood the mountain. Moreover, with the help of the steep mountain, it was also convenient for their defense.

Zhao Hao was so scared that he was so scared that he wanted to leave Shenglong Mansion City, which was filled with water and dead bodies, so he nodded immediately. So Wang Dan and his friends immediately gathered their troops and found the right opportunity to break out of Li Gande's encirclement. Then, while fighting against Li Gande's pursuit, they retreated to the peak to defend. Now a few days have passed. They used the steepness of the mountain to repel Li Gande's attacks countless times, but they also suffered considerable casualties.

"Egg. How are your casualties?" Wang Dan asked as soon as he came to the flat ground on the mountainside. Commander Cao, who was sitting there gnawing fruits, asked. Their food was already very tight, and when he retreated from the city, he lost some of the supplies, including a batch of food. Fortunately, there were jungles everywhere on the mountain, wild fruits everywhere, and a lot of prey, which could alleviate their food crisis.

"There are basically no casualties. Li Gande sent troops to attack so many times and returned in vain. He probably was discouraged. These attacks were only tentative. I guess they would not be able to hold on for long before they would withdraw their troops." Wang Dan sat down at this time and picked up a fruit and ate it. Their food was almost finished, and now they could only rely on fruits to satisfy their hunger.

"That's good. Calculate the time. I guess General Huyan and his reinforcements should arrive. I hope Li Gande's army will not retreat, and they will be able to catch them all in one place." Commander Cao spoke again when he heard this.

"It's so beautiful. Li Gande is not a fool. He will never stay and wait for us to attack on both sides." At this time, the short commander rolled his eyes and continued to lower his head to change the medicine for the wound on his leg. In order to stop the attack on the Jiaozhi rebels the day before yesterday, he personally went to fight with the enemy, but was cut by the enemy. Fortunately, the injury was not very serious, and there was no sign of inflammation in the wound.

"But speaking of this guy Li Gande's scheming is really deep. He had already dug a water diversion channel and flooded the entire Shenglong Mansion. We have withdrawn. But I guess the Jiaozhi people in the city are in trouble." Commander Cao spoke again at this time. He suffered a great loss on Li Gande this time, and he was very unwilling to accept it. Unfortunately, the current situation is not as good as others, so he could only put all his hopes on Hu Yanping and his reinforcements.

"Dear generals, when will our reinforcements come?" At this moment, Zhao Hao, who had been sitting there without saying a word, finally said weakly, with a pale face with a bit of illness on his face. He was not injured when he retreated from the city before, but after he arrived on the mountain, he used various wild fruits to satisfy his hunger every day. Wang Dan and the others were nothing, but Zhao Hao's delicate stomach could not stand it. He had been diarrhea these days, and he felt that if he continued like this, he would have to die here.

"Your Highness, don't be anxious. Li Gande lets water flood the vicinity of Shenglong Mansion, which will definitely affect General Huyan and his marching, so it is normal to wait a few more days." Wang Dan said again at this time.

"Oh, I hope so!" Zhao Hao no longer had the strength to regret it anymore. Now he only hoped that Hu Yanping's reinforcements would arrive early and save him from such a scattered situation. Moreover, he had made up his mind that as long as he could return to the deep water port safely, he would no longer care about comforting Yuezhou. He would immediately prepare a ship to go north. After returning to the capital, he would stay there honestly and would never take a step out of the capital again. (To be continued)
