The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 456 Famous General Boyan

Wu Song said with a sneer: "General Boyan. Wu knows that you are a follower of Tianya Shenzun Yin Tianya. With your martial arts, you are among the best generals in Mongolia. But Wu may not be afraid of you. If you and I only He is a martial artist. Today Wu will definitely learn the general's skills. It's just that the two countries are at war. Wu naturally dare not disobey the order of the army. Go out of the city and fight with you."

Boyan said: "It is said that the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties would only rely on the city. They never dared to fight our army with real swords and guns. It seems true. Even a hero like General Wu can't hold his head. What's more, others Almost."

For Boyan's humiliation without dirty words.Wu Song smiled instead of anger: "General Boyan. As a soldier, he can only be called a hero if he can win the war."

Boyan froze for a moment.He laughed loudly and said, "Haha. General Wu is right. But Boyan fell into the lower ranks. Boyan was taught."

"Don't dare to be. General Boyan. You have traveled thousands of miles to our country. Our Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette. We pay attention to coming and not going indecently. Wu will give you an arrow." Wu Songhan said while taking out Cloud piercing bow.Bend the bow and take the arrow. "General Boyan. Look at the arrow."

For Song generals in Xiangfan area.Boyan has done research.Naturally know Wu Songhan's marksmanship.Don't dare to neglect now.Holding Fang Tian's painting halberd with both hands.His eyes were fixed on the feathered arrows shot by the opponent.

The feathered arrow shot by the Cloud Piercing Bow was extremely fast.Only an instant effort.It was less than one meter away from Boyan's head.

Boyan suddenly shouted. "Open." Accompanied by this voice.Two-handed power.Fang Tian's halberd draws an arc lightly.The top of the painted halberd just happened to touch the fast-moving feather arrow.The halberd in Boyan's hand weighed more than forty catties.Coupled with Boyan's deep internal strength.The hatchback overlaps.Immediately, the feather arrow fell to the ground.

In the eyes of others.This arrow is very common.In addition to the speed.Nothing fancy.Boyan's blow is also an understatement.It also looks unremarkable.But both parties involved are very clear.The arrow Wu Songhan shot with all his strength was infused with the inner strength he had cultivated over the years.Plus the power of the Cloud Piercer Bow.And it was condescending to shoot.Since it is full of strength.When Boyan shot a feathered arrow from the opponent.Then spread the power all over the body.And this feather arrow actually broke through his self-defense qi.In the end, he had to use the weapon in his hand to resolve it.

On the surface.The two are evenly divided.No difference.But Wu Songhan understood.I am still a bit inferior.able to maintain a tie.It is entirely dependent on the ability of Piercing Cloud Bow and the condescending environment advantage.As Yin Tianya's apprentice.Boyan is also very clear.Although Wu Songhan's inner strength is slightly inferior to his own.But with the power of its strong bow.It is a matchable opponent.

"Good archery. General Wu. Boyan accepts this gift with respect. It will be returned in the future. There will be a later date."

Say it.Boyan turned his horse's head.walk away.

The army commander at the side, Zhao Wenyi, said: "General, the enemy only has four to five thousand people. Do you want to join forces with the imperial forest army at the east gate and destroy them?"

"No." The voice of Wang Anjie, the highest-ranking general in Yingzhou City, came from behind.

Wu Songhan looked back.He hurriedly said, "See General Wang."

"See General Wang." Zhao Wenyi and other generals also hurriedly saluted.

"Hello, generals," Wang Anjie replied. "Bo Yan's Qixue army is all cavalry. There are four to five thousand people. Do you think our army's only five thousand cavalry can fight Qixue in the wild. Don't talk about one-on-one. It's two-on-one. Our army will also be at a disadvantage. Your Majesty has an order. In the first stage of the Battle of Xiangfan, our army's task is to destroy the enemy's vital forces. It is not to fight to the death with the Mongolian army."

Unconvinced, Zhao Wenyi said: "General Wang, why don't you watch Boyan come to Yingzhou to demonstrate like this?"

Wang Anjie said with a smile: "Haha. Don't worry, General Zhao. The Mongols won't last long. When I received the news of Boyan's attack, I just received a letter from Commander Zhang Shijie of the Imperial Forest Army. The other two brigades of the Second Division of the Imperial Forest Army It has already arrived in Ezhou in Hubei Province. It is estimated that it will arrive in Yingzhou within a few days. When our army's troops around Xiangyang are deployed, the anti-encirclement battle will begin."

Wu Songhan said: "General Wang is right. I have been here for some time in the Lin'an Army. Although I can only watch the brothers in the Xiangyang Military Region fighting bloody battles. Everyone is a little anxious. However, once the anti-encirclement war starts. Naturally, my third party has the opportunity to fight the Mongolian army head-on. Are you afraid that there will be no battle at that time?"

"En. General Wu. Now that Boyan has retreated, I won't stay here any longer. I'll go to the east gate to have a look."

"Yes. General."

When Wang Anjie arrived at the east gate of Yingzhou City.Boyan led a group of cavalry troops who had just arrived at the city.

"Mr. Zhang. How is the situation?"

Zhang Shijie said nervously: "General Wang. It's Boyan's cowardly Xue Jun."

"En. Boyan Jun just came from Tanjiawan Village. I came from there too."

"So fast. General Wang. Is there a battle there?"

"Bo Yan didn't seem to come to attack the city. After General Wu shot an arrow, he left."

The two just said a few words.Just listen to Boyan from the bottom of the city saying: "Listen, the general in the city. This general is Boyan, the deputy marshal of the Great Yuan Zhengnan. Do you dare to fight me?" Boyan's voice was loud and clear.Both the city and the city can hear clearly.

"Bo Yan. Come and attack the city if you have the ability." Wang Anjie is not like Wu Songhan.Possess internal strength.He could only answer with his own voice.The momentum is naturally much weaker.

Boyan sneered.He raised his breath and shouted: "Soldiers of the Southern Dynasty. If you don't have a city to rely on, you won't be able to fight."

Contempt for Boyan.There are no soldiers of the imperial forest army who have fought against the Mongolian army.From Zhang Shijie to ordinary soldiers are all furious.Wang Anjie saw this.He hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, don't get angry. War is not based on lip service. All the soldiers obey the order. Be calm. The archers prepare first. The rest are the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army. Hiding in the bunker."

Although Zhang Shijie has never fought a war.But in recent years, he has been familiar with the art of war.After arriving at Yingzhou City.He also learned a lot about war from Wang Anjie.Soon he returned to normal and said: "Thank you, General Wang, for reminding me. This boyan wants to provoke our army to go out of the city to fight against him."

"Well. There is such a possibility."

Boyan under the city saw that the Song army had no one to answer.With a wave of the long halberd, he said, "Fire the arrow."

The five thousand cowardly Xue troops were divided into two batches.Shoots a round of feathered arrows in turn.Thousands of black feather arrows fell mercilessly on the east gate of Yingzhou City.Fortunately, the soldiers in the city were prepared.At the moment of cowardly shooting.Then hide in the bunker or under the shield.However, more than 100 people suffered minor injuries.Thankfully no one was killed.

A round of strong shots is over.Boyan said to Huai Du beside him, "Retreat."

"General, don't you force out the firearms of the Royal Forest Army?"

Boyan shook his head and said: "Unless you attack the city, it will be very difficult to force the Imperial Forest Army to use muskets. Although the city of Yingzhou is not big, it was built with rocks. It is very difficult to attack. I am afraid that all the soldiers are treasures in the army. If it is consumed in the siege battle, then you have to try it. After all, Yingzhou is not as important as Xiangyang."

Huai Du said: "Yes, General."

subsequently.Boyan led his army to continue southward.It was not until the South Gate of Yingzhou, which is located by the Han River, that it stopped.After watching carefully nearby.Boyan said: "There seems to be a fortress in the lower reaches of Yingzhou. Where is it?"

A scout said: "General. That is Huangjiawan Fort. There is a ditch in the west of the fort. It is several feet deep and wide. Nantong Tenghu Lake."

Boyan nodded while listening, "Okay. Very good. Send the order down. Return to Lumen Mountain."

Ye Zhili said: "General, are you going back now?"

Boyan smiled: "Why. Ye Zhili. Could it be that he still wants to attack the city?"

"General. I didn't gain anything this time."

Boyan said: "Why not. First of all, the Song army in Yingzhou City did not dare to go out to fight. This has already lost a bit in morale. In addition, the most important thing is that this general has a plan to attack Yingzhou City."

Both Huaidu and Yezhili were taken aback and said: "General, you said earlier that Yingzhou City is difficult to attack. There will be a way so soon."

Boyan nodded and said: "The land route is not possible. There is also a water route. The scouts just said that there is Huangjiawan Fort in the lower reaches of Yingzhou. There is a ditch in the west of the fort. It is several feet deep and wide. Nantong Tenghu Lake. If there is heavy rain, the water level will definitely rise Then you can tow the boat into the lake. Turn around and enter the Han River. Then you can reach the South Gate. The city wall around the South Gate is low. It is quite easy to attack."

"The general's opinion." Can come up with a way to attack the city in such a short period of time.Whether it is feasible or not.Let Huaidu and Yezhili be convinced.

In history, Boyan adopted the above method when besieging Yingzhou.First attack Huangjiawan Fort.Then sent troops to repair Pingjiangyan.Broken bamboos are used to pave the mat.Then tug the boat into the lake.Detour into Han.

The idea is practical though.But at this moment, Boyan didn't think of it at all.He never had the chance to come to Yingzhou again.

Afternoon of April [-]th.In Lin'an Palace.

I am sitting in the royal study.While drinking tea, they listened to Lu Xiufu's report on the Fancheng Battle.

"Your Majesty. General Lu Wende, the envoy of the Xiangyang Military Region, has reported. In the past few days, under the bombardment of about [-] catapults in Mongolia. The outer walls of Fancheng have been severely damaged. Please give instructions, Your Majesty. Do you want to abandon the original plan?"

I didn't answer directly.Asked back: "Jun Shi, what are the casualties on both sides of the Fancheng Battle?"

"Return to Your Majesty. From April 790nd, the Mongols started shelling for several days. On April [-]th, they officially launched an attack on Fancheng. In the following days, they launched attacks every day. As of noon on the [-]th. In five days, our army killed [-] soldiers and injured more than [-] people. The casualties of Mongolian soldiers are at least double that of our army. According to the estimates of Fancheng garrison Niu Fu and others. Far more than our army."

"Junshi. Did Lu Wende say something? How long can we hold on to the periphery of Fancheng?"

"Yes. Your Majesty. There are words in the battle report. You can stick to it until the end of this month."
