The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 459

The personal guard who came up with the idea immediately replied: "Yes, General,"

Ali Hague also had nothing to do. Seeing that the others had no choice, he said, "Okay, let's try."

A group of personal guards quickly took out the ropes, tied the mutilated corpses to several strong personal guards who were proficient in martial arts, and made several "snowballs". Lie down on the ground, rolling back and forth on the wall of fire, when the corpse is burning, untie the rope, tie a new corpse, roll over again, and the burning corpse is put aside, the rest After putting out the fire, the guards pierced the corpse with a weapon, took out the blood from the corpse, and sprinkled it on the fire wall as water. At the same time, the Mongolian army inside also sprinkled the demolished earthen wall on the fire wall. After several times, a short section of the fire was finally extinguished and a gap was successfully opened.

Ali Hague said happily: "Listen, the soldiers inside, everyone bent forward, held your breath, and rushed out from the gap." The visibility in the thick smoke was extremely low, and Ali Hague couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. shouted.

Under the guidance of Ali Haiya's voice, groups of Mongolian soldiers rushed out from the gap. After a while, Kong Yuan and others destroyed another section of the wall of fire ten meters away. Immediately, more and more soldiers came through the gaps Chu bowed his body and rushed out.

Through the gap in the smoke, Niu Fu sighed: "It's a pity that there is not enough time, otherwise we can dig a few more trenches. In that case, the more than 3000 Mongolian soldiers will definitely not be able to escape."

Among the three generals stationed in Fancheng, Fan Tianshun, the youngest, said: "After the war is over, if I have the opportunity, I also want to study at Lin'an Military University for a year or so."

After paying the price of burning more than 300 people to death and injuring more than 800 people, the Mongolian soldiers finally left the outer city, and 18 of the [-] death squad members of the Song Army lay forever between the inner and outer cities of Fancheng .

On the afternoon of April 31st in the fifth year of Xianchun, I held a special meeting in the apse of Lin'an Palace. This was an important meeting I held before I left for the expedition. Ministers of various ministries, important ministers in the court and some relevant personnel, in addition, Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing also sat on my right and attended the meeting in person.

"Dear dear friends, the Battle of Xiangyang has gradually entered a white-hot stage. According to the battle report just received, the Battle of the Outer City of Fancheng has ended. The Mongolian Army's Ali Haiya Department broke through the outer city wall on April 24. Of course, there are Our army took the initiative to retreat. In the fierce battle for more than 6000 days, our army killed and wounded more than [-] enemy troops at the cost of more than [-] casualties. The ratio of the two sides is one to two, which is also in line with the The normal ratio of casualties between the siege and the defenders, according to the garrison of Fancheng, because the military doctors gave timely treatment, the death rate of our army is far lower than usual,"

I first talked about the latest battle situation in Xiangfan, and then said: "According to the plan, I plan to go on a personal expedition in the first ten days of this month. The main content of today's meeting is to make arrangements for the affairs of the court and China after I leave Lin'an."

Most of the important ministers in the court have heard about the fact that I will personally conscript the royal driver, and now they hear me formally propose it, and they can't help sighing.

"Before the meeting officially starts, I will first announce the commendation order given to the Xiangyang Military Region, Xiaoqi, read it,"

Wei Xiaoqi, the commander of Jinyiwei, attended the meeting as a non-voting attendee, but stood behind me all the time. Xiaoqi took two steps to the left and read aloud: "In order to commend the defenders of Fancheng who performed outstandingly in the battle of the outer city of Fancheng, Specially awarded to Wei Guohu, the commander of the 17th Battalion of the 46th Battalion of the No. [-]th Division of the Xiangyang Military Region, a Huaxia Gold Medal, and a captain of Shangqi, who will be rewarded after he survives; One Chinese gold medal for each of the death-defying team members, posthumously named Xiaoqiwei; the other [-] death-defying team members were awarded Xianchun silver medals, and they were named Yunqiwei, and they were promoted to three levels according to their original military positions. The Military Affairs Council will inform the whole army to encourage them, I respect you,"

After Xiaoqi finished reading, he retreated behind me again, and I continued: "Wen Aiqing, the Government Affairs Council will write up the heroic deeds of the soldiers in Fancheng and publish them to the public, so that newspapers of all sizes in Lin'an City will publicize them widely, so as to establish heroes who resist Mongolia. The relevant materials are provided by the Military Council, which will become the practice until the end of the war,"

Wen Tianxiang stood up and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty,"

"My dear ministers, this meeting has officially begun. Let me first talk about matters related to government affairs," I said with a serious expression, "After several years of reforms, our court's government affairs have been on the right track. All government affairs maintain the original order. In addition to the main tasks of developing the economy and refreshing government affairs, governments at all levels need to cooperate with military logistics operations in various places. During the war, if anyone delays military affairs, they will be dealt with according to military law. I am announcing two measures. First, the normal state affairs are supervised by the Empress Dowager, with the cooperation of the Government Affairs Council, and all ministries, divisions, and agencies must be dedicated to their duties; And Jin Yiwei, sent to Yingzhou through a secret letter of pigeons, "

The civil officials headed by Wen Tianxiang stood up and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey the order,"

In recent years, a large number of young officials such as Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu have grown up, and have successively become the core ministers of the Xianchun court.

"Everyone, please sit down. The second thing I'm talking about is about the defense of Lin'an City. At present, the number of imperial guards in my court has increased to 1000 or 100. This time, I will take away 1000 people, and another group of 16 people." The team will be stationed in the gunpowder prison for a long time, and the remaining [-] people will be under the control of Lan Yu, who is in charge of the guards, and will be under the control of the queen mother to keep the peace of the palace. The temporary garrison is composed of the No.[-] army under the jurisdiction of the second wing of the Lin'an Military Region, the independent wing of the Lin'an Military Region, and [-] marines under the jurisdiction of General Zhang Gui. The [-] soldiers belong to the Military Affairs Council and the Queen Mother. common moderation,"

Related to this, Lan Yu, the commander of the imperial guards, Zhao Bao, the commander of the second chamber of the Lin'an Military Region, Zhang Gui, the commander of the Marine Corps, stood up and said, "I will obey the order."

"Well, please sit down. The third thing is that I announce that the accompanying personnel of this imperial conquest, Shi Chen, Zhao Shun, Sun Zhao Aiqing, Lu Xiufu Lu Aiqing, and Jiang Wanzai Jiang Aiqing, the four of you represent the Privy Council, the Government Affairs Council, and the Military Affairs Council to accompany me in the expedition. ,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey the order,"

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to focus on matters related to military affairs. Wen Aiqing and all the dear ministers in the government affairs system, you should retreat to the court first,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers and others will retire, Shouhe and the Queen Mother will retire, and the ministers and others will retire,"

After I watched Wen Tianxiang and others leave, I said again: "This Xiangyang battle is the most critical battle in the Song-Mongol war. If our army wins, we can take advantage of the momentum to make the Northern Expedition. Therefore, all generals must abide by the military orders and march forward bravely." , must not be mistaken,"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

"Shi Yan's Shi Aiqing, Fan Wenhuan and Fan Aiqing,"

"The minister is here,"

"Shi Aiqing is temporarily in charge of the Military Affairs Academy staying in Lin'an. The two of you coordinate all the logistics supplies of our army to ensure the military supplies of the frontline soldiers. At the same time, we need to arrange the recruitment work for this year and complete the recruitment of [-] new recruits before September. task,"

"Yes, I will obey the order,"

"Everyone, I have decided to set up a special unit composed of the Lin'an Military Region Independent Division and some members of the Marine Corps. This unit will go north from the coast, land on the Shandong Peninsula, and then go straight into the hinterland of Mongolia. I will take this unit It is called the advancing column, and its mission is to turn the world upside down within the enemy. This task is very difficult but at the same time has great significance. The success of the advancing column will create favorable conditions for our army's all-round northern expedition."

I paused and said: "Yin Yinglei, the governor of the Lin'an Military Region, and Han Jing, the deputy commander of the Independent Chamber of the Military Region, listened to the order."

"The minister is here,"

"Yin Aiqing, I appointed you to concurrently serve as the commander of the advancing column, seal the upper guard, give a gold belt, and Han Jing serve as the deputy commander, and seal the title of Flying Cavalry Captain,"

"Thank you, Your Majesty,"

"You two dear ones, the advancing column set off on May [-]th and was escorted by the North Sea Fleet to the landing site,"

Yin Yinglei said: "Yes, I obey the order,"

"Next is the military affairs arrangement of the Sichuan Military Region, Guangxi Military Region, and Miaojia Military Region in the southwest. The Imperial Forest Army will consult with Tian Xiuyan to listen to the order,"

Last July, after Tian Xiuyan and Gongsun Xiaochen left Lin'an Military University, I arranged for them to join the Yulin Army and serve as military councilors.

"The minister is here,"

I looked at the disciple of the Great Wizard Jiang Yang and said, "Xiuyan, I have appointed you as an imperial envoy. I will set off tomorrow and rush to Chengdu Mansion to convey my instructions to General Gao, the governor of the Sichuan Military Region, and let him lead the army. Sichuan Military Region No.20 Second Chamber, I will go south with you lightly, and defeat the Mongolian army in Dali at the fastest speed. In order to unify the command of the Dali Battle, I decided to establish a Southwest Temporary Military Region, with General Gundam as the envoy, Fan Wenhu The general and the great wizard Hongyuan served as the deputy system envoys, and Wang Lixin and Wang Aiqing served as the military counselor. The troops under his jurisdiction were one and a half units of the Guangxi Military Area, the Miao Family Military Area and the 22nd Unit, a total of 5000 people. They defeated the Mongolian army in Dali. Afterwards, some people formed the Yunnan Military Region on the spot and stationed in Yunnan, and the rest returned to Chengdu with Gundam. I have written the specific plan and sealed it in these two kits. The first kit contains information about the recovery of Yunnan. The battle plan, the content of the second kit is the plan after the end of the Yunnan war,"

The young Tian Xiuyan said excitedly: "Yes, I obey the order,"

I smiled and asked Xiaoqi to hand over the two kits to Tian Xiuyan, and then said: "Li Beiyang and Li Aiqing obey the order."

Li Beiyang said loudly: "The minister is here,"
