The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 276 The Battle of Anfeng

The result was naturally not what I expected.

The wooden target on the side of the mountain was shattered by the Songlong Cannon, and even the ground was blown into a big hole. If it was a person, whether it was an infantry or a cavalry army, there would be no bones left and it would be difficult to escape.

After everyone came back to me, whether it was Jia Sidao and other ministers in the court, or the newly appointed officers of the Imperial Forest Army, they all sighed. In addition to being shocked, they were all shocked. Is this a weapon? Such a powerful weapon There is really no other words to describe it. The four well-informed envoys were also dumbfounded after watching the artillery test, let alone these people now.

This is an era where it is easy to create gods. The backwardness of technology makes it easier for ancient people to believe in the existence of gods. As a time traveler, am I not also the guardian god of China? Even if I am not, I will make myself A great god.

With the establishment of the Royal Forest Army, firearms will gradually become popular. Although this is my secret, more and more people will know it. I let Jia Sidao and others watch the test firing of the artillery, the purpose is to let them understand , I am the real Son of Heaven, the true Dragon Son of Heaven who is destined by God, don't have any other intentions and come up with any tricks. At the same time, I will also let the senior generals of the Imperial Forest Army know that the Great Song Army is an invincible existence, and It is no longer the Mongolian iron cavalry that crosses the battlefield.

Jia Sidao's heart was even more complicated. Is this what Lian Zhen said should not be violated? The monk seemed to be right about this point, and he was glad that he didn't tear himself apart with Zhao Yu immediately. Just imagine, if this What would happen if the so-called Great Song Dragon Pao hit his mansion a few times?

However, Jia Sidao began to have some doubts about Lianzhen's statement that "the superior position cannot last long".

"Ten years of Emperor Taiping," Jia Sidao recalled Song Lizong's prophecy, should he wait so wrongly for ten years, or should he cater to the superior, the ZTE of the Song Dynasty, whether he would like to see it or not.

I waited for everyone to regain their composure before saying: "Dear dear friends, this is the dragon cannon, an artifact of my Song Dynasty, and it is also a cannon in the true sense, not a cannon that throws stones as it used to be said. There are hundreds of gates, tell me, with such artifacts, will I still be afraid of the Mongolian cavalry? Will the northern expedition to the Central Plains and the recovery of rivers and mountains be just a dream?"

"What, there are hundreds of doors," Fan Wenhuan asked in surprise, not knowing whether it was excitement or panic.

"Well, that's right," I replied without hesitation. Of course, I am very clear that there is only one such artillery at present, but since there is already the first one, it shows that the manufacturing technology of the artillery is feasible.

Fan Wenhuan continued: "If these hundreds of dragon cannons are fired together, it will be enough to destroy the world."

I smiled: "Fan Aiqing is right. I plan to build several hundred more dragon cannons in two years. By then it will not be hundreds of salvoes, but hundreds of dragon cannons. Of course it can be done." It has come to the end of what Fan Aiqing said, "

"Your Majesty, that means that our Royal Forest Army will also be equipped with this kind of artifact," Zhang Shijie, who saw the artillery for the first time, couldn't bear it anymore, and asked excitedly.

"Of course, not only the Imperial Forest Army, but I plan to equip all the troops in my court. Dear dear friends, now you all know what an artifact is, right?"

"Back to the emperor, all the ministers know," several brigade commanders of the Yulin Army replied first.

"Well, this artifact is a top secret of our dynasty. You need to keep it strictly confidential. No matter who it is, once it is leaked, it will be dealt with by military law, Xiaoqi,"

"The little one is here,"

"Pass down my will, no one can enter the Gunpowder Department at will without my order,"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

"Thank you Daolin,"

"The minister is here,"

"As the barrier of the Gunpowder Division, the Imperial Forest Army also has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding. If there is any mistake, I will hold you accountable."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise not to let a moth fly in,"

"Okay, dear friends, it's already time for lunch, follow me back to the Imperial Forest Army garrison, let's eat in the army today,"

"Yes, I will obey the order,"

Three days later, Shen Mo and Yun Zhongfei returned to Lin'an.

From the exhausted but excited expressions of the two, it can be seen that they won, Xia Gui won, and Luzhou Army won.

"Chen Shen Mo, minister Yun Zhongfei is here to see His Majesty," after the two returned, they rushed to the imperial study room without stopping.

"You two lovers, thank you for your hard work. Sit down and have a cup of freshly brewed hot tea first. It must be very cold in the north at this time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Shen Mo said, "Your Majesty, it's already freezing in the north, and when I left, it was snowing heavily around Anfeng Army."

"It's snowing. Fortunately, Xia Gui chose the right time. If it was three days late, it would be inconvenient for the army to move. It seems that God is also helping me,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, if it's snowing, you won't even be able to find the secret path,"

"Well, Shen Mo, tell me about the process,"

Shen Molian drank two cups of hot tea and said: "Your Majesty, after the minister and Yun Zhongfei received the order, they immediately selected twenty imperial guards and set off on October 22 at Maoshi (five o'clock in the morning). During the two nights, the minister and others only rested for more than two hours, and finally arrived at Luzhou Mansion on Huainan West Road one day earlier in the evening of October 24th."

I set off on the morning of October 22, and within two days, I arrived in Luzhou, which is [-] miles away from Lin'an. The speed is really fast enough, and it can be compared with the [-]-mile express.

"When I arrived at General Xia's mansion, I rested for two days. At the end of Haishi on the 26th (27 o'clock in the evening), I and the 28 Luzhou soldiers led by General Xia marched to the Anfeng Army on the south bank of the Huaihe River. The hundreds of soldiers are all very good, and their speed of marching at night is not slow at all. Although they are not as good as the imperial guards, they also show the quality of elite soldiers. On the evening of the 29th, the troops arrived at the foothills south of Anfeng Army. After resting, the troops, under the leadership of General Xia Gui, detoured westward. The road was full of mountain paths, and in some places there were no roads. After about four hours of difficult shuttle, they arrived at the destination in the early morning of the [-]th. On the ground, which is west of Yangjia Town, the troops had been lurking in the dense forest for a whole day, and at half past Yinshi (four o'clock in the morning) on ​​the [-]th, they were preparing to launch a sneak attack,"

"The mountain road is rugged, it's hard for the old general Xia Gui,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, although General Xia said he practiced martial arts every day, he was old after all. Halfway through the walk, his physical strength was exhausted. I followed His Majesty's order and guarded General Xia's side every step of the way. Later, I asked the imperial guards It took turns to carry the old general on his back, and then we arrived smoothly, "

"Well, Shen Mo, continue,"

"Although the Mongolian defenders in Yangjia Town have gone through a carnival, they are still heavily guarded. After consultation with General Xia, Youchen and Yun Zhongfei each led ten guards, sneaked in, and wiped out seven or eight secret guards by the gate Later, it was still discovered by the Mongolian guards. Seeing this, the ministers lit the gunpowder and other inflammable materials they carried with them, and opened the west gate of the town. General Xia saw the fire as a sign, and immediately commanded eight hundred strong men to rush into the enemy camp. ,"

For a master like Shen Mo, war will make him excited, especially the first real war. Shen Mo became more and more excited as he talked: "Your Majesty, the war between the armies is completely different from the confrontation between martial arts people. The scene is spectacular. , the cruelty really opened my eyes."

Shen Mo drank another cup of tea before continuing: "General Xia took the lead, wielding a long knife in his hand, and charged in first. The ministers did not dare to neglect, and followed Old General Xia. After a while, the ministers felt that the long sword was not too good Suitable for this kind of large-scale war, they seized the swords and spears from the enemy one after another. Fortunately, everyone is quite proficient in all kinds of weapons. They guarded General Xia and fought in the enemy camp. Those Mongolian soldiers are worthy of being the best soldiers in the world. He was well-trained. Although he had just gone through the carnival, he was a little caught off guard at the beginning, and nearly two hundred soldiers were beheaded by our army, but he soon launched a counterattack under the organization of the Mongolian general Huchi, who was guarding the town, and launched a counterattack. Relying on the advantage of a large number of people, we have gradually stabilized our position."

I nodded and said, "According to previous information, there should be two thousand Mongolian and Han soldiers in Yangjia Town."

"Your Majesty, the number of enemies in Yangjia Town is roughly the same as expected," Shen Mo said, "The Mongols are very fierce. They divided our army into three, intending to encircle and wipe them out. However, the eight hundred soldiers selected by General Xia The death squads are not mediocre. Although they are weak against the strong, they are not afraid at all, and they are not at a disadvantage. Not long after, they heard roars from the north gate of Yangjia Town. The ministers knew that it should be the North Gate Outside the gate, the Polu army from Yangzhou launched an attack according to the agreement. The Mongolian guard knew something was wrong and ordered the [-] Mongolian soldiers guarding the north gate to defend the town gate with all their might. The Mongolian soldiers and generals surrounded the Luzhou army, and the defender Huchi knew very well that as long as the enemy commander who sneaked into the town can be quickly captured before the north gate is breached, the battle can be reversed, otherwise it will be defeated."

"The battle is so fierce. Those Mongols must not have thought that our army would dare to take the initiative to attack." Listening to Shen Mo's story, I also became a little excited. Although I knew that our army won in the end, the process also made me feel nervous .

"Your Majesty, at this point in the war, the key is to watch the time. If the eight hundred death squads hold back the defenders in the town, they only need to break down the town gate to win a complete victory. At that time, the ministers did not know the front According to the situation, it is expected that the main force led by General Xia will also be fighting fiercely with the main force of the defenders in the south of Yangjia Town. The Luzhou army has about [-] people, and the other two groups saw the Mongolian soldiers besieging their own. The coach also desperately came to meet up, but he was tightly blocked on the periphery. Seeing this, General Xia waved a long knife in his hand and shouted loudly, "The reinforcements are here. I, Song Haoerlang, just need to hold the enemy for a while." , I will break into the main army, and when the time comes, I will be able to win by attacking both inside and outside. Soldiers of Luzhou, fight,' under the encouragement of General Xia, everyone shouted, 'Fight,'"
