The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 425 Tips

When Lu Shikui saw his father rejecting him with a military order, he said anxiously: "Father, Second Uncle is right, this is a very good opportunity."

"Nonsense, you dare to disobey the emperor's order,"

Seeing that Lu Wende was angry, Lu Shikui didn't dare to speak again.

Lu Shimeng on the side suddenly said: "Father, second uncle, eldest brother, before I returned to Xiangyang, on the afternoon of September [-]th, the emperor specially called me to Shifeng Trading Company and gave me a kit in person. Speaking of, if the Mongolian army tentatively attacks Xiangyang City in the near future, then when it plans to retreat, it can open up its kits. In the previous two days of siege, the Mongols used ladders, siege vehicles, and Crossbows and other large equipment, but it is obviously just for show. The purpose is nothing more than to understand the confidence of our army to counterattack and the deployment and control of the city defense. It is not trying at all. This is completely consistent with the temptation that His Majesty said. If the situation analyzed by the elder brother is true ,That,,,,,,"

The first batch of trainees from Lin’an Military University officially graduated in early July, and they went to major military regions to report one after another. Lu Shimeng, one of the founders of the military university, conveyed to me through President Shi Yanzhi his wish to return to the Xiangyang Military Region and join the battle.

After getting my approval, Lu Shimeng returned to Xiangyang on the evening of September [-]th to take up the post of staff officer of the military region.

"Master Meng, what are you waiting for, quickly take it out and show it to Second Uncle," Lu Wenhuan said impatiently.

There is a piece of paper in the kit, which says: Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan of the Xiangyang Military Region, two lovers, the Mongolian army will carry out a tentative siege in the near future, after which the chief general Ashu will loot all the surrounding property and return from the northwest In this situation, you and the others can set up an ambush on Anyang Beach in the west of the city, and send a navy to strangle him back. This matter is up to the two of you to play by ear, and there is no need to ask for instructions.

"Haha," Lu Wenhuan laughed three times after reading it, "God, Your Majesty is really a god." However, as soon as Lu Wenhuan finished laughing, he heard Lu Wende say: "Second brother, what Your Majesty mentioned in the kit is Mongolia. Marshal A Shu, the Grand Marshal of the Conquest of the South, but what our army has learned is only the vanguard officer of the Conquest of the South, Ajihan, this, among them,,,,,, "

Lu Wenhuan calmed down, thought for a while, and said: "Brother, Your Majesty once said that a god and a man are human after all. Maybe there is a slight deviation, which is normal. Your Majesty is thousands of miles away, and it was done ten days ago. It is inevitable that there will be some mistakes in the prediction made. Regarding this matter, His Majesty has authorized us to act according to circumstances, so it is not considered a violation of military orders."

Lu Wende nodded silently, then got up from his seat, walked around the room two or three times, and said, "Shi Kui, go and call your third uncle, Shi Meng, put the map on the table."

"Yes, father," Lu Shikui replied happily. His third uncle, Lu Wenxin, is the number one general in the Xiangyang Military Region and is currently the commander of the most elite Heitan Regiment in the Military Region. It seems that Father has decided to send troops to attack the Mongols. Black charcoal groups will be used.

"Second brother, Shi Meng, wait for the third brother to arrive later, let's work out the specific plan for this operation together," Lu Wende said.

"Father," Lu Shimeng said again, "I still think of something. The emperor ordered that the Mongols must not know that there are two or three thousand cavalry in our Xiangyang military region, so the emperor suggested that they should be surrounded by infantry and attacked by cavalry." Of,"

Lu Wende praised: "Your Majesty, this plan can be done. Although this group of Mongolian troops are all cavalry, they carry with them the property and captives they plundered from the people of our court. If our cavalry suddenly launches an attack, it will definitely disrupt their formation. It's really a good way,"

There were not many cavalry troops in the Song Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the loss of the land for raising horses in the north, the number of cavalry troops was even rarer. In the last years of Jingding, the number of cavalry troops in the entire Southern Song Dynasty was only about 7000. , Lin'an's imperial army has nearly [-] cavalry troops, of the remaining [-] cavalry troops, Yangzhou and Sichuan each account for [-] cavalry troops, and the number of cavalry troops in the Xiangyang Military Region is less than [-].

After the military reform, all the cavalry troops of the former Imperial Army were assigned to the Lin'an Military Region. In the past two years, Lu Wende sent people around to buy war horses. With the purchase of [-] horses and [-] good horses from the Mongols, the Xiangyang Military Region now has [-] cavalry troops.

Lu Wenhuan smiled and said, "Brother, have you thought of meeting His Majesty?"

Lu Wende smiled and said nothing, looked down at the map.

Anyang Beach is located in the northwest of Xiangyang, east of the Hanshui River. From Xiangyang to the north, passing through Anyang Beach, and then crossing the Wudang Mountains is the shortest way.

On September 3000th, at noon, more than [-] Mongolian cavalry troops, led by Ashu and Ajahan, slowly came to Anyang Beach with looted items.

Everywhere the Mongols go, they will definitely plunder the local property and women as trophies. This is the characteristic of the Mongols. This habit has been developed since childhood. Soldiers judge heroes by the amount of trophies they have, and they themselves can get some of them. With the regularization of the Mongolian army, this situation has begun to change, but it cannot be completely eliminated after all.

Asahan, the vanguard officer walking in the middle of the team, said: "Commander, why did the Khan insist on attacking from Xiangfan this time? The city of Xiangyang is strong and tall, and it is not easy to break through it."

"Liu Zheng suggested that if there is no Xiangyang, there will be no Huaihe River, and if there is no Huaihe River, Jiangnan will be easy to conquer. This commander also agrees that as long as Xiangyang is captured, the entire Mongolia-Song war should be over."

"Marshal, is the Xiangyang battle really so important?"

Ashu said: "Ah Asahan, Liu Zheng's understanding of the Southern Dynasty is naturally better than ours. Once Xiangyang is broken, he can enter the river from Shu, sweep across the east of the river, and go straight to Lin'an. This time I came to Xiangyang. I have already understood that, although it is very difficult, but fortunately there is a fortress in Lumen Mountain, our army can build a fort in it, and we can establish a stronghold. In addition, the fort in Baihe City, which will be completed next year, our army can Step by step, the encirclement has formed. Although Xiangyang City is strong, as long as it is trapped by our army, it will only be a matter of time before the city breaks down."

Archahan seemed to understand and half understood: "Commander, the general understands, but he doesn't know why Lu Wende allowed me to build a fort here."

Ashu smiled, looked around, and asked, "Ajahan, where is this place?"

"Back to Commander, here is Anyang Beach, and further north is the Wudang Mountains,"

"Anyang Beach," A Shu muttered, with a heavy expression on his face, "this is a good place to set up an ambush. The east is blocked by high mountains, and the west is Han River. As long as the north and south attack together, Anyang Beach will become a dangerous place." ,"

Asahan said: "Don't worry, Commander, the army of the Southern Dynasty has always relied on the city, so how dare they come out and fight our army head-on? Besides, with the ability of our cavalry army, even if we encounter an ambush by the enemy army, we can still rush out." ,"

"Commander," Huai Du on the side pointed to the Han River in the west, and suddenly said, "Commander, General Arakhan, the three warships of the Southern Dynasty Navy,"

"That's right, it's the navy of the Southern Dynasties,"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw about [-] Song Dynasty cavalry rushing out from the south of Anyang Beach, followed by [-] to [-] infantry. [-] knights in black trench coats were led by a black-faced general. It rushed towards Anyang Beach like a gust of wind, and at the same time, flags stood out in the small woods in the north, gongs and drums blared, and smoke rose everywhere. Obviously, there were also a large number of enemy soldiers ambushing among them.

Ajihan asked in surprise, "How come there are so many cavalry in Xiangyang City?"

"Heitan regiment, there are two thousand people," A Shu sneered, "Lu Wende is really willing to spend all his money. Could it be that he still wants to keep this commander here? Ajahan, order the soldiers to give up the items in their hands and line up to meet them." Enemy, get rid of the black charcoal group first, Huaidu, your department is responsible for monitoring the water surface and the enemy in the north, this commander will stop the black charcoal group first, "

Ashu turned his horse's head, carried Su Luding in his hand, and came down to the south of Anyang Beach under the escort of fifty Qixue soldiers. At this time, the Heitan regiment was less than 30 meters away from Anyang Beach. behead the nameless man,"

Lu Wenxin, the commander of the Heitan Regiment, saw Ah Shu appearing in front of the formation. Although he didn't know who the opponent was, he could feel that he was very powerful and full of energy. The two led the army, took advantage of the chaos in the enemy's formation, and rushed straight to the formation, Shi Bao, led 200 people to immediately besiege this person, "

Lu Shi said that Lu Shidao is the son of Lu Wende's late eldest brother, Lu Shibao is Lu Wende's adopted son, and all three are generals in the Heitan regiment. They were born as woodcutters in the Lu family in Anfeng. People use swords as weapons.

"Yes, general," Lu Shibao replied, leading two hundred soldiers under his command to rush towards A Shu.

The distance of 30 meters is just a blink of an eye for the cavalry.

Lu Shibao took the lead and came to the front, without making a sound, he raised his saber and slashed at Ashu, Ashu snorted and said: "Good time," then he held guns in both hands and faced Lu Shibao's sword.

The swords and guns collided, and there was a loud noise in the air. Before everyone could see the pros and cons, Lu Shibao only felt his shoulders go numb, and he felt a sense of loss of strength. The secret path was not good, and he had to know that he was relying on the power of the horse's impact , it was another full blow, and the opponent just raised his gun at will to block it. The difference was not at 01:30. to his own throat.

Fortunately, Lu Shibao has rich experience in facing the enemy. Although his arms are weak, he is unruffled in the face of danger. He lowered his head and dodged the fatal shot. Ashu's Su Luding did not stab the enemy's throat, but overturned Lu Shibao's helmet On the ground, Lu Shibao was shocked into a cold sweat, but the spear in Ashu's hand did not stop, and Su Luding once again stabbed Lu Shibao incomparably swiftly.

"My life is over." Lu Shibao's martial arts are not weak, so he naturally saw the strength of the opponent's spear, and he had no way out.
