The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 474 Raid Plan

When Ali Hague recalled the situation at that time.Still seems a little scared.It is different from A Shu and others.Ali Hague is the only Yuan army general who has personally seen the whole process of artillery bombardment.

"Return to Commander. The enemy troops on Fancheng fired a total of six shells. The timing of these six shells was almost the same. The last general was behind the catapult formation. After counting, our army lost four catapults. .23 badly damaged. Shooter killed 18. Wounded [-]."

"General Ali Hague. Please sit down." Boyan said. "Yesterday, the Xiangyang defenders also used artillery. We already know the situation."

Ali Haiya was stunned for a moment and said, "The defenders of Xiangyang also have artillery. The last general thought that only the defenders of Fancheng had them."

"That's right. The Southern Dynasties army not only had artillery, but also a large number of muskets." Ashu nodded.

"Musket. What is it?"

"It should also be a kind of firearm."

Ali Hague, who had no idea, let out an "oh" and said, "Master. Then how shall we deal with it?"

Ashu said: "Ali Haiya. Kong Yuan. In the future, when you encounter muskets from the Southern Dynasties, don't care about 21. Immediately order the archers to shoot. As long as our army's speed is one step faster, we may be able to suppress the muskets. As for the artillery. At present There is no way to deal with it. However, according to my estimate, the number of artillery pieces or the ammunition of the artillery pieces in the Southern Dynasty is limited. Otherwise, as long as hundreds of artillery pieces are fired at the same time, our army is definitely unable to compete. In the past few days, I The army stopped attacking Fancheng and the east of Xiangyang City. Instead, attack the north gate and west gate of Xiangyang. See if there are artillery. In addition, everyone is thinking of a way. Waiting for the emperor's instructions. To avoid unnecessary casualties for our army."

"Yes. Commander."

In the next few days.The Yuan army stopped bombarding the two cities of Xiangfan.Instead, attack from two directions northwest of Xiangyang City.After being bombarded by artillery again.The Yuan army stopped attacking the city completely.In the next few days.The only war happened only in the east of Lumen Mountain.The Atahhai Department and the Suizhou Army led by Xia Gui fought several small-scale battles that were not painful or itchy.The outcome is even.

end of may.I received a message from Tian Xiuyan from Chengdu.It was said that he had arrived in Chengdu on the evening of May 28th.After discussing the action plan in detail with General Gundam and General Zan Wanshou.It is scheduled to depart for the south on May 20.According to the plan, the troops of Guangxi Military Region, Miaojia Military Region, and Sheliwei will launch an offensive simultaneously on June [-].Go south this time.The Sichuan Military Region dispatched all the No.[-] seven-compartment soldiers under the command of General Lou Anbang.Chen and General Gundam accompanied him.General Zan Wanshou stayed in Chengdu.

Tian Xiuyan from West Road has news.But Yin Yinglei, who had already gone to sea, was unable to send back the news.Communication lags behind.We can only wait for them to log in.only.Regarding whether the advancing column can land smoothly.I've been quite worried.Although there are not many Yuan troops at the designated landing point.But such a large fleet.It must be impossible to escape the surveillance of the Yuan army.But whatever.There's going to be a big fight on the east coast.

June.Southwest, East Coast.Plus Xiangyang, which is at war.will enter a state of war.That will be a full-blown day.

Kublai Khan.How will you deal with it?

Most of the Yuan Dynasty.Wu Lianghetai, the newly appointed deputy envoy of the Privy Council, hurried to the palace.For firearms.Wu Liang Hetai has a deep understanding. The war against gold more than 30 years ago is still vivid.At that time, Wu Liang, who was still a cowardly commander of Xue Jun, saw his superior with his own eyes.Wokuotai Khan's adopted son Helong Wanfu was blown to pieces.that moment.Wu Liang closed his mouth in a daze.Seems to stop thinking.

"Your Majesty. An urgent report from Xiangyang. The Southern Dynasty army used firearms."

"Firearms." Kublai Khan said after reading Ashu's urgent report. "The power of the artillery is so great. It is wider than the attack range of my return artillery. Wuliang is on the stage. You have been in the field for a long time. Do you know firearms?"

Wu Lianghe nodded and said: "Return to the emperor. I remember that in the battle to destroy the gold. The Jin people used artillery. They called it Zhentian Lei. Its power is indeed great. When it bombarded, it sounded like thunder. It was deafening. Fortunately, the Jinren had only two cannons at that time. Our army was able to break through the city smoothly. Judging from the battle report in Xiangyang, the Southern Dynasty army had at least [-] cannons. And the explosion range seems to be much larger than that of the Jinren The original artillery."

Kublai Khan frowned slightly and said: "It seems that this is Zhao Yu's secret weapon in the Southern Dynasty. At the beginning, Yang Lian Zhenjia and General Shi both mentioned the muskets of the Southern Dynasty. I didn't expect there to be more powerful artillery."

"Your Majesty, Ashu and Boyan on the front line also analyzed it in the same way. Firearms are the reliance of the Southern Dynasty."

Kublai Khan nodded slightly.Immediately fell into deep thought.At this time.Qi Xue, who was on duty outside the door, came in and said, "Report. Your Majesty. My lord, my lord, is here."

"En. Xuan."

Kublai Khan handed Ashu's battle report to Yin Tianya and said, "Shen Zun. Take a look. Southern Dynasties used firearms."

Yin Tianya took over the battle report: "Big Khan. I have also received a letter from Boyan. It talks about the benefits of firearms in the Southern Dynasties. Regarding this, I plan to go to Xiangyang City with Alaodin. Find out what the firearms are."

"It's so good. Master Emperor. Yisi Mayin, let's go."

Hao Jing said: "Your Majesty, you have already set off. There are ten return guns accompanying you."

"Shen Zun. Alao Wading and Yisi Mayin are the masters of our dynasty. Maybe you can get a glimpse of it. Wuliang is on the stage. Send Xiangyang Ashu and Boyan. Wait for the next step of the Central Army's plan. Make it after the adults arrive."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

Kublai Khan continued: "Three. The Southern Dynasty army staying in Lin'an has been identified. There is a wing of the Lin'an Military Region and some naval divisions. There are less than [-] people in total. I plan to raid the Southern Dynasty Gunpowder Supervisor outside Lin'an City."

Wu Lianghe said in surprise: "Your Majesty, the closest to Lin'an City is our Eastern Route Army and Central Route Army. But there are enemy troops defending along the way. How can we go deep."

Kublai smiled and said: "General Wuliang Hetai. You don't know. I have a friendly army in the Jiande Mansion in the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty. A few years ago, I and Lord Shenzun deployed this amazing army. It should be played It's time to play a role. Although the artillery of the Southern Dynasty is quite powerful, it is also their last reliance. As long as the gunpowder supervisor is destroyed, the Southern Dynasty will no longer be able to compete with our army."

"Friendly army. How many are there?"

"About 3000 people." Kublai Khan opened the map on the table and said. "The distance between Jiande Mansion and Lin'an is not too far. And the army of the Southern Dynasties was concentrated in Xiangyang, Yangzhou and other places. The defense along the Liangzhe Road in its hinterland is very weak. As long as our troops are careful, they can go straight to Lin'an .”

Hao Jing said: "Your Majesty, let them break up into pieces. Then we can gather in the suburbs of Lin'an."

"The emperor's teacher is right." Yin Tianya said. "Yang Lian Zhenjia and Fang Chenqian have plans. The commerce and trade industry in the Southern Dynasty is developed. The Liangzhe Road is its economic center. There are many caravans that come and go every day, and there are many people who go to work in Lin'an. For this reason, some soldiers will disguise themselves as Cargo traffickers. Fifty to one hundred people form a team. The other part pretends to be job seekers. Spread out. I don’t think there will be any problems along the way.”

Kublai Khan said: "My lord, tell me about your plan."

Yin Tianya smiled slightly: "Da Khan, Emperor Shi, and General Wuliang Hetai. After gathering in the outskirts of Lin'an, this team will destroy the Southern Dynasties Gunpowder Supervision in one fell swoop. Although I don't know the Gunpowder Supervision Defense situation. However, the vast majority of Lin’an defenders are stationed in the city. The gunpowder prison’s defense must be less than 1000 people. At that time, our army only needs to send [-] people to pretend to attack the north gate of Lin’an. The Lin’an defenders must be puzzled and panicked. They will only try their best to guard against the gates of the city. The deity estimates that they will not go out of the city to fight for a while. The main force of our army will take the opportunity to attack the gunpowder supervisor in the south of Lin'an. There are many martial arts masters in this army. Definitely It can break through the defense line of the Gunpowder Supervisor. According to the information, there is a lot of gunpowder in the Southern Dynasties Gunpowder Supervisor. As long as it is ignited, it can be burned."

Wu Liang joined the stage and said: "Although this move is risky, it is not without chance. It is only after the event is completed. How will this army withdraw from the Southern Dynasty?"

Kublai Khan said: "Wuliang is united. You don't have to worry about this. After success, there are two ways to go. One is to take advantage of the emptiness in the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty. This army can move around around Lin'an. Or occupy the mountains for Wang. Or become a bandit. Go south to Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi. Go west to Jiangxi and Hunan; the second road is to go north to Luzhou. Return from Luzhou to the border of our court.”

"The first way is feasible. Fujian, Jiangxi and other places around Lin'an do not have heavy troops from the Southern Dynasties. The defenders of Lin'an City must not dare to go out to encircle and suppress the city. But how is the second way possible. Nearly two Southern Dynasties are stationed in Luzhou Prefecture. The strength of the box."

"Hehe. This is also a big secret of our dynasty." Kublai Khan wanted to win over A Shu.So there is endless talk about Wuliang Hetai. "Wu Liang joined forces. I won't hide it from you. As early as a few years ago, I sent dozens of young generals to infiltrate the Southern Dynasty and join the army. The highest rank among them is Shi Tianze, the son of Shi Aiqing, Shi Bi. He is now The commander of the No.14 wing of the Jianghuai Military Region in the Southern Dynasties. As the guard deputy general of Luzhou City. Bute's Fourteen Chambers are the main ones."

"So that's how it is. The emperor has great foresight. Your lord has extraordinary insight. It's really a blessing for us." Wu Liang continued after flattering him. "Your Majesty, since General Shi holds an important position, why not ask him to bring some firearms from the Southern Dynasty for my reference."

"Shi Bi told me this. The Southern Dynasty has always regarded firearms as its top domestic military secret. Let alone a commander. Even the generals stationed abroad in the Southern Dynasty who are higher than him don't know anything about it."
