The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 172
Li Yunze obviously accelerated his marching speed.

The state capitals along the way naturally attack when they can, and fight when they can.

The defenders were eliminated and various supplies were harvested.Immediately following was the destruction of the gentry, landlords and wealthy merchants.

After that, the fields are allocated, the title deeds are given, and manpower is recruited.

Those who are willing to follow are naturally very loyal.Those who don't want to follow will definitely understand after experiencing the Mongolian army's revenge.

He went south from Jiangling Mansion, bypassed Dongting Lake, entered the land of Jingxiang, and successfully captured Tanzhou.

This time the siege did not use Li Yunze's shot, nor did it use infantry chariots nor C4.

Relying entirely on the soldiers and horses that were gradually compiled and trained to attack the city, they were defeated in one battle.

At this time, there is no need for Li Yunze to give special instructions.

The soldiers and civilians who gradually got used to it dealt with the Mongolian army sloppily, collected supplies and began to arrest gentry, rich merchants and landlords.

The whole set of procedures is very proficient, and it is obvious that he has rich experience.

At the same time, the Mongolian army chasing all the way from Lizhou Road also arrived on the other side of the Xiangjiang River.

Li Yunze didn't leave quickly because there were so many civilians in the army.

The chasing Mongolian army was not fast. Apart from the impact of the previous defeat, the most important thing was that they were busy regaining lost ground along the way and looting wantonly.

On the one hand, I dare not fight, on the other hand, I don't want to fight.

All the way down like this, facing each other across the Xiangjiang River.

But today Li Yunze decided to do it.

The reason is simple, the leader of this Mongolian army is too cruel, Li Yunze wants to kill him.

His name was Zhu Guobao, and he was General Dingyuan.He is also a famous traitor general under Kublai Khan's command.

When he was in Fujian Province last year, he beheaded all the captives after defeating the Song army.

This time when he was chasing Li Yunze, this person kept slaughtering the people who had taken Li Yunze's land deed all the way, with a very serious intention to kill.

Although the murderous intent is heavy, he is very cautious.

After understanding the reasons for the previous defeats in detail, Zhu Guobao not only set up a tight and long defense line along the river, but also spread out the camps occupying the terrain, absolutely not giving Li Yunze any more battles to drive out the defeated soldiers.

Even his main camp was set up a few miles away from the shore.

From a cautious point of view, it has indeed been done very well.

However, he still underestimated Li Yunze's ability.

On this day, Li Yunze climbed a hill facing Zhu Guobao's main camp.

The top of the mountain is not high, only about a hundred meters, and it belongs to the branch of Yuelu Mountain.

The advantage here is that the height and angle are suitable, and it is convenient to observe Zhu Guobao's main business.

Through the high-power telescope, it was confirmed that Zhu Guobao was indeed in the main camp. Li Yunze took out the measuring equipment and started surveying and mapping.

The height angle distance, under the calculation of the advanced computer, soon appeared on the tablet computer.

Then, Li Yunze took out the mortar.

Too far away for a sniper rifle.

For mortars, that's just fine.

After adjusting the secret position, Li Yunze looked down the mountain to the shore.

Hundreds of ships, carrying soldiers of the Chuang army, beat drums and shouted, and headed for the opposite bank.

The reaction on the other side was quick, and immediately there were ships sailing out to meet them.

After the news reached the main camp, Zhu Guobao also boarded the towering viewing platform and looked towards the river.

Through laser ranging, various data are determined for the last time, and then the density is adjusted according to the data given by the analysis software.

After finishing these, Li Yunze opened a metal ammunition box with exquisite workmanship.

There is only such a shell in the whole box, and its price is almost as high as that of the cannon.

The name of this shell is called the terminal sensitive shell.

At this time, the surface of the river was already filled with gunpowder smoke, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

After training along the way, Li Yunze finally began to equip his own staff with firecrackers.

As early as the end of the Ming Dynasty, he ordered a large number of steel pipes and accessories from Laiyang Metal, and after using them in many worlds, he still has a lot of surplus.

As for the processing of incoming materials, all of them are sent to the world of Dream of Red Mansions, and the craftsmen are asked to concentrate on finishing the work.

Judging from Li Yunze's customer feedback, the quality of Laiyang Metal is indeed very good, definitely not inferior to that of Rhinemetal.

The Ming army can use it with simple training, because the Ming army has already popularized firearms.

Here, although the Song army invented the burst gun, it is still an army with cold weapons in essence, which requires longer training and familiarization.

Now, it is time for the firecracker to officially debut in this era.

Gunpowder smoke filled the river, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Relying on the intensive and precise shooting of firecrackers, the invading fleet clearly had an advantage.

On the shore, there are more trespassing ships sailing to the other side. On the one hand, they are suppressing the Mongolian fleet, and on the other hand, they are waiting for the Mongolian army to appear chaotic, and they will go to the shore to kill.

As for why the Mongolian army was in chaos, of course it was because they suddenly lost their main general.

Zhu Guobao on the viewing platform, seeing the critical situation on the river, prepared to go down to supervise the battle in person.

He had just set off here, but he was stunned to hear a shrill sound like a whistle from the sky.

Subconsciously looked up, only to vaguely see a small black dot rapidly falling from the sky.

When the distance from Zhu Guobao was still more than ten meters high, the warhead sensing device of the last sensitive bomb was activated, and it exploded instantly, spraying countless shrapnel towards Zhu Guobao.

The smoke cleared, and the watchtower was completely destroyed.

As for Zhu Guobao, it was already quite mushy.

The solid armor on his body has also been smashed into sieve fragments.

Li Yunze saw through the binoculars that the watchtower was gone, but he couldn't conclude that Zhu Guobao was finished, after all, he was nowhere to be seen.

After that, he pulled out two more boxes of ordinary ammunition, and blasted them all in one round.

The main camp of the Mongolian Army was shrouded in gunpowder smoke and flames.

The battle on the river was over, and the Mongolian army who knew how to use bows and crossbows was defeated by the rushing army who used firecrackers.

Many soldiers and horses landed on the shore and began to attack the nearby camps.

Because there was no order from the main battalion, the scattered camps nearby did not dare to move out. They could only watch helplessly as the Chuangjun pulled out several camps, burned them all, and then calmly boarded the boat and retreated before dark.

The next day, the Mongolian army on the other side of the Xiangjiang River retreated for dozens of miles, never daring to get too close.

After resting in Tanzhou for a while, Li Yunze went south again.Tens of 10 people swept across Jingnan South Road in mighty force, and returned to Guangnan East Road again.

Zhang Hongfan was extremely entangled at this time.

He didn't receive an order from Dadu, so he didn't dare to retreat easily.

But he couldn't beat Li Yunze, so he could only keep retreating and retreating.

After the Guangzhou Mansion was taken by Li Yunze, Zhang Hongfan, who had nowhere to retreat, actually boarded a boat and retreated into Yashan like Song Ting did.

What makes him smarter than Song Ting is that he also knows how to control the estuary to leave a retreat for himself.

Before boarding the boat, he sent a messenger to find the reinforcements who followed Li Yunze all the way, and agreed to attack back and forth together.

But ever since Zhu Guobao, a rare famous general, was blasted into scum, and he was severely educated by firecrackers, the reinforcements of the Mongolian army did not dare to come over at all, but just hid in the Shaozhou mansion and waited and watched.

"If there is a way to heaven, you don't go, but if there is no way to hell, you have to go."

Li Yunze, who came to the cliff again, looked calmly at the dense fleet of ships in the sea below the mountain.

In history, it was Zhang Hongfan who forced more than [-] soldiers and civilians to jump into the sea and die for the country. Now it is his turn to embark on this road of no return.

"Huang Lingshen."

"The end is here."

Li Yunze pointed to the seaport between Yashan Mountain and Tangping Mountain on the opposite side, "Seal this place, and don't let Meng Yuan's soldiers and boats go out to sea."

"Yes."

Huang Lingshen agreed first, but then began to complain about the difficulties, "King Chuang, although the seaport here is not big, it is still several miles wide. Our army is short of ships, so it may not be easy to seal it."

Dagu's sea trade is well developed, and its sea power can be called the strongest in the world.

But even so, they were still defeated by the Mongolian army.

Leaving aside many internal and external factors, simply speaking of water combat effectiveness, the Mongolian army is not just the powerful cavalry in the traditional impression.Thanks to the effectiveness of many famous traitors, their water combat power is actually not weak at all, and it can be called the second in the world.

This is also the reason why Zhang Hongfan chose to board the boat and go to sea when he didn't dare to fight Li Yunze.

"I'll give you several miles of iron chains, can they seal the seaports on both sides?"

Hearing this, Huang Lingshen was stunned, and then saluted and responded, "Yes! But you need a dead man to drive the boat, and fire the Mongolian ship in Haikou."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Li Yunze was silent for a while, and after a while, he laughed and sighed, "There is no need to shed the blood and lives of the warriors like this. I will equip you with enough artillery."

Speaking of this, Li Yunze turned his head to look at the densely packed ships on the sea below the mountain, "Sink them all with cannons!"

At this time, the use of artillery was very proficient, but the level of promotion was not as extensive as in the Ming Dynasty.

It is indeed a good choice to block the sea outlet with artillery.

I just don't know where so many artillery come from.

Having seen Li Yunze's sky-reaching methods, no one would ask more questions.

Chuang Wang took it out and used it directly, talking too much would only annoy people.

It is said that Zhang Hongfan has been waiting for the reinforcements from Shaozhou Mansion to come over, and cooperate with him to attack back and forth.

But no matter how long he waited, he couldn't wait for the reinforcements to come, which made him feel bad.

If it wasn't for the previous agreement with the reinforcements, he would have gone directly into the sea.

For that miraculous national teacher, he only has fear in his heart.

A thousand steps away, you can take the head of a person, drive wild beasts to run wild, and use Taoism to destroy heaven and earth.

Because he was too afraid, he didn't even dare to unfurl his flag as the Marshal of the capital, and he usually hid in an ordinary boat and didn't show his face very much.

On this day Zhang Hongfan felt unbearable chest tightness on the boat, so he had to resist the irritability in his heart and come out to do some activities on the deck.

"What day is it?"

Zhang Hongyi, the younger brother beside him, hastily stepped forward to answer, "To the sixth day of February in the 17th year of the Yuan Dynasty."

"Oh." Zhang Hongfan felt a little emotional, "If it weren't for that monster, we would have already pacified Song Ting on this day last year."

Zhang Hongfan, who was about to express his emotions, saw his younger brother's eyes widen and he looked behind him in a daze.

Puzzled, he turned around and looked towards the cliff mountain not far away.

Up and down the cliff, countless streams of white smoke rose!
