The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 451 Tongfu Town

Zhao Wenyi, commander of the No.17 Army, is a native of Taizhou (now Wutai County). His ancestors were taught the 64-point gossip stick technique by an unknown master in Mount Wutai. According to legend, this set of stick techniques came from the Yang family who became a monk in Mount Wutai. Created by Wulang, Yang Wulang followed his father to conquer Khitan, and later became a monk in Wutai Mountain. He used a gun to turn a stick. The stick method was from Taiji to produce Liangyi, Liangyi to produce Sixiang, and Sixiang to produce gossip. Finally, it evolved into 64-point stick method. , because it conforms to the number of internal and external eight trigrams eight eight 64, so it is called "Wulang eight trigrams".

Even so, Zhao Wenyi, who has a heavy and strong stick, dances the cooked copper stick in his hand like a tiger and a tiger. He picks, sweeps, presses, or pulls. , do your best to defend.

It is undeniable that the Mongolian cavalry army is indeed powerful, and its one-on-one single-handed ability is far stronger than that of the Song army, but the Song army has long been prepared. The army was fighting in one place. At the beginning, the soldiers were a little panicked. However, as the battle progressed, the effect of strict training on weekdays appeared. Coupled with the superiority in numbers, the soldiers of the No.17 Army They gradually calmed down, and the situation soon entered a stalemate.

Several consecutive years of large-scale military training have significantly improved the combat effectiveness of the entire Song Army. In the newly formed Lin'an Military Region, General Yin Yinglei and General Wang Anjie cooperated tacitly. Wu Jun, the commander of the three military regions, Han and Zhao Bao are both veterans of the battlefield and have rich experience in military training. Although Zhang Shun has never been on the battlefield, he is proficient in the art of war. The veteran generals in the DPRK and Central Committee negotiated, making the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Lin'an Military Region no less than that of the original border troops who guarded the border all the year round.

Seeing Zhao Wenyi entangled Suodu, Wu Songhan put away the cloud-piercing bow, took a machete from the horse's buckle, and charged towards the densest places on the battlefield. In terms of hard work on horseback, Wu Songhan was not as good as his elder brother Wu Songhan. Jun Han, but his long-term military career has allowed him to transform the Wu family's swordsmanship into a double-hook method suitable for horse fighting in addition to the arrow method. The ordinary Mongolian soldiers are naturally far from the enemy. He convinced the crowd again, causing the Mongolian soldiers to avoid him one after another.

A moment later, Fan Xing's [-]th Army rushed to the battlefield, and the originally balanced situation was immediately broken. Suodu, who had just regained his disadvantage, looked around and saw three warships of the Southern Dynasty Navy appearing on the water to the east. Knowing that he was powerless to continue the fight, he stretched out his long spear, forced Zhao Wenyi's long stick away, and said loudly, "Break out,"

Following Suodu's order, the well-trained Mongolian cavalry quickly changed their formation. Two of the centurions gathered beside Suodu, and followed Suodu to fight to the southeast. At the critical moment, the Mongolian cavalry once again Showing strong combat effectiveness, without any scruples about his own life and death, with superb riding skills and instant explosive power, he tore open a hole before the Song army encircled him. The rest of the Mongolian soldiers, led by another lieutenant general, quickly Withdrew north.

"General, pursue them in batches," Fan Xing rushed to Wu Songhan's side and asked.

"No, General Fan, you lead the [-]th Army to the south to pursue Suodu, the [-]th Army to clean up the battlefield, and then retreat to Yingzhou,"

"Yes, General,"

"Catch Suodu alive,"

"Don't let Shuo go away,"

The morale of the Song army was high, and [-] Song troops, led by their respective generals, chased southward.

Suodu led two centurions to fight and leave. After paying dozens of casualties, he threw off the pursuing Song army. where,"

The older Anping said: "General, this should be the eastern part of Yicheng County. The subordinates have been there before. If you go further south, you will find Yingzhou City."

Suodu thought for a while and said: "Send the order, rest on the spot, and we will continue southward in a quarter of an hour."

Anping said in a daze, "General, we still have to go south."

"Well, Yicheng is not far from Yingzhou, since we are here, let's go and have a look,"

Anping was greatly surprised: "General, there are many Song troops in Yingzhou City. We are only waiting for a few hundred people. How can we get there?"

Suodu smiled: "Anping, we are not going to attack the city. Although I have few soldiers, it is convenient to come and go. The Song army doesn't have many horses, so what can I do? Besides, this time, I have to bring something back. Bar,"

Anping understood what Suodu meant, and said with a smile, "Yes, General."

At the east gate of Yingzhou City, He Quchen, the young brigade commander of the sixth brigade, is leading a group of soldiers to patrol the city wall. The Imperial Forest Army had no task of defending the city, but because the two third armies of the Lin'an Military Region went to Longwei Island , This temporarily took over the city defense of the east gate.

As the youngest brigade commander in the Imperial Forest Army, He Quchen has put in more effort than others. When he was a young guard, He Quchen received Wen Zhang's instruction and made great progress in martial arts. , his marksmanship is also among the best in the entire Royal Forest Army. If it weren't for the fact that he was the brigade commander and had a lot of affairs, he might be able to compete with the sharpshooter Li Long.

"Report, Brigadier He, there is an enemy situation,"

There are no Mongols around Yingzhou, so how could there be any hostility, He Quchen hurriedly said, "Say it quickly."

"Hundreds of Mongolian cavalry troops were found in Luofeng Village, ten miles away from the east gate of Yingzhou City. The villagers of Luofeng Village were killed and injured, and their supplies and food were taken away. The Mongols are currently heading towards the next village, Tongfu Town,"

"Explore and report again,"

"Yes, Brigadier He,"

"Come here, order the No. 60 Sixth Battalion to assemble immediately," He Quchen finished the order, and immediately went to the temporary headquarters of the Imperial Forest Army under the city, and told the news from the scouts to the division commander Zhang Shijie.

"This is Luofeng Village, and the nearest to Luofeng Village is Tongfu Town," Zhang Shijie pointed to the map and said, "Brigade Commander He, you immediately lead the 66th Battalion to Tongfu Town, and I will let the 64th Battalion follow up."

"Yes, Commander," He Quchen continued to ask, "If we encounter an enemy, can our army use muskets?"

"Although His Majesty has strictly ordered that firearms should not be used lightly, there is no absolute prohibition. Moreover, His Majesty has said that soldiers must protect the country of our dynasty, and more importantly, protect the lives and property of our people. Brigadier He, you play by ear, in case Your Majesty blames it, and Zhang Mou will bear it,"

He Quchen nodded: "Yes, Master,"

Both Zhang Shijie and He Quchen came from ordinary people, and their affection for the people is far greater than that of other generals. Between the lives of the people and the vague military orders, they both chose the former.

The No.60 66th Battalion is the only cavalry force in the [-]th Brigade. The well-trained soldiers of the [-]th Battalion gathered outside the east gate after receiving He Quchen's order. About a quarter of an hour later, He Quchen Chen stepped on the horse and said in a low voice: "Let's go, the goal is Tongfu Town,"

Although Tongfu Town is called a town, it is actually a larger village. Compared with the surrounding villages of Yingzhou City, Tongfu Town has a unique advantage, that is, it is built on the hillside, and there is only one road in and out of it. Once the gate in front of the town is closed, it is like an independent and closed cottage.

After the battle of Xiangyang started, every village outside Yingzhou City organized a militia, and Luofeng Village also had one. However, before the Mongolian cavalry led by Suodu, they had no time to react and were looted, but it was different from Fuzhen. , when the Mongolian cavalry army appeared from a distance, the mayor of Tongfu Town immediately ordered the town gate to be closed, and dozens of militiamen went up to the town gate to prepare to meet the enemy, and at the same time asked all the strong and strong men to gather together in front of the town gate .

This is also Suodu's back, but he came to the only defensive village in Yingzhou. Although Suo knew that his group of troops was within the strength of the Song army, they should fight quickly, but the Mongols should not go out empty-handed But Hui's habit led him to make the decision to attack Tongfu Town. Shuo believed that villages and towns like Tongfu Town that were not defended by regular troops would be easily breached by him in a short time.

From gathering to rushing to Tongfu Town, Song Jun spent a total of two quarters of an hour. Half an hour can be said to be long or short. In the eyes of most people, half an hour is just a moment , a single point is meaningless, but for the people of Tongfu Town, this half hour is unforgettable for them, and they will never forget it.

No matter how tenacious the people in Tongfu Town are, they still cannot be compared with the regular Mongolian army. After holding on for a quarter of an hour, the town gate was finally breached by Suodu's troops. Almost all the civil defense personnel guarding the front died in battle. The common people are all wounded, but despite this, the common people holding machetes and sticks are still guarding in front of the door, refusing to take half a step back. They know that behind them is the land where they grew up. Their families have their homes.

Hold on, hold on, although they knew that maybe what they did was useless, but they tried their best, they could only do this, and it didn't take long for these heroic people to fall to the ground one by one.

"It's so troublesome for such a small Tongfu Town," Suodu said dissatisfied, "grab it as soon as possible, and immediately after it's done,,,,,," Suodu hadn't finished speaking, and listened to the Mongolian soldiers who were adjourned behind him. Called: "General Qianhu, the Song army has arrived,"

"What, so fast, how much,"

"About 300 to [-] people, all of them are horse troops,"

Suodu snorted: "Boys, get on your horses and drive the enemy back first."

"Decree," Anping replied, and rushed away first.

Arriving at the front of the formation, Anping found that most of the Song soldiers 30 meters away from the opposite side had dismounted and lay on the ground. The 80 to 100 people in the front were squatting, holding long sticks like fire sticks in their hands, and about [-] people were standing behind them. , also holding the same long stick, and on both sides of the team are dozens of sword and shield players on horseback.

He Quchen said coldly: "You are the Mongolian Central Route Army,"

Anping said: "That's right, the general will be given a name,"

He Quchen thought of the elders in his hometown, but he didn't say a word, his eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Let go."
