The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 525 Wang Family Ancestral Hall

Boyan went on to say: "When the troops of the Southern Dynasties entered the Stone Buddha Temple area, our army immediately dispatched and besieged from all directions. As long as there is one way to attack, we can give full play to the speed advantage of our cavalry. Go straight to its artillery battalion. And force The musketeers of the Southern Dynasties engaged in hand-to-hand combat with our army. Generals. According to Boyan’s estimation, the Southern Dynasties attacked Dengzhou. They only bombarded the South Gate but did not siege. The reason is that their firearms can only be used in a concentrated manner to achieve the greatest effect. Therefore, our army only needs to adopt a multi-way attack. It can disrupt their firearms pattern."

Ashu nodded.Asked: "General Shi. In your opinion. If the Southern Dynasty army loses its firearms. In the field. Does our cavalry have an advantage?"

Shi Yuqi said: "Marshal. There should be no doubt about this. It is said that even the emperor of the Southern Dynasty once said it. In mobile warfare. They are not as good as our cavalry."

"Movement warfare." Boyan said thoughtfully. "That word is used very well. General Shi. You are familiar with the Southern Dynasty. Do you think this method is feasible?"

"If you can encircle the Song army within a certain range. Use archers to fight firearms. Maybe you can fight. However, the Southern Dynasty army has nearly 10 people. Although the artillery battalion moves slowly, its throwing bombs are very easy to use. Therefore, it is also It is not an easy task. The general thought that the multi-way attack that General Boyan said is advisable. If the Song army can be cut into two parts, then concentrate the superior force to attack one part first. Maybe there is a better chance of winning."

Ali Hague asked: "General Shi. How can our army divide it into two parts?"

Shi Yuqi said: "Form a death squad. Headed by the Cavalry Shield Army. Attack from the two wings. Break through forcefully."

A Shu said: "General Shi's method also has merits. All generals, just speak freely. No matter whether it is useful or not, you can propose it."

About an hour later.The generals of the Yuan army still have not reached an agreement on the details of the attack.Although there are merits in various methods.But there is always a problem that cannot be overcome.That is how to break through the Song Army's firearm formation.

Ali Hague was a little irritable.Can't help but patted the table and said: "Commander, the last general is willing to lead the death squad to attack the enemy."

"Wait." Ashu stared at the table in front of Ali Hague.Suddenly said without thinking. "Table. Table."

"Table. What do you mean?" Ali Hague didn't know what happened.He also looked at the table in front of him and said.

"The shield is too small. Even the shield of the divine force can't protect many people. I just thought of it. If a table is used instead of a shield, is it feasible?"

Boyan reacted very quickly.He smiled and said, "Master, it's totally feasible. You just need to cover the table with a layer of iron sheet, and then cover it with a wet quilt. According to Boyan's judgment, muskets cannot penetrate. Even if you encounter fire Just hide under a table and you'll probably be all right. Of course. Except for artillery. General Shi. You brought a musket this time. We'll see if we try it. If it works. Then the cavalry will use large shields as a weapon. First. The infantry will take this table first. It should be able to greatly reduce the damage of muskets to our army."

Shi Yuqi said: "You can try it. The general also thinks that muskets are difficult to penetrate."

"That's good. Act now. Archer."

"The end is here."

"Go and call all the excellent craftsmen in Nanyang to the commander's mansion. This commander thinks that even the cavalry can use the modified table."

"Yes. Marshal. The last general obeys the order."

Whether it works or not.But finally found a way that seems to work.This made all the generals of the Yuan army very angry.After half an hour.All the outstanding craftsmen from Nanyang City and the Yuan Dynasty Middle Route Army came to the martial arts field in the Shuaifu.

Shi Yuqi raised the gun herself.One shot was fired at targets five meters, ten meters, and 20 meters away.Test fired.A musket cannot penetrate a processed tabletop ten meters away.Even at a short distance of five meters.The musket is not very effective either.Although it can barely penetrate the desktop.But it didn't hurt the objects placed behind the table either.

Ashu said loudly: "Okay. General Arhan. You will be in charge of supervision. Make it immediately."

"Yes. Commander."

The city wall around the south gate of Dengzhou City almost collapsed under the repeated bombardment of 55 artillery pieces.I hold up the binoculars.Looking north through a lull of artillery smoke.There was no one on the walls.

"They all escaped."

get my instructions.Lu Wenhuan gave an order.As the vanguard, the Second Chamber and the soldiers of the Zhongshun Army rushed to the city gate under the leadership of Wu Songhan and Meng Tianxiang.No resistance was encountered.When the cavalry army and Zhongshun army in the second chamber rushed into the city gate.It was found that all the defenders in the city had withdrawn.

In about a quarter of an hour.There are scouts to report.The defenders in the city had retreated from the north and east gates of Dengzhou City when I bombarded the artillery.

Although Dengzhou City is not big.But it has been more than 100 years.An important military base in southern Henan.Since 1141, it has belonged to the Kingdom of Jin.Dengzhou became the bridgehead of the long-term confrontation between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.After Mongolia destroyed the gold.It also became the forefront of the Mongols' southward invasion.

From the outside.The walls of Dengzhou City look alike.But get into it.But found that the city is a depression.

I walked around the city.See all houses closed.No one was there.There is no lively scene of "being liberated" at all. "Everyone, Dengzhou City is empty."

Jiang Wanzai said: "Probably not. When Duanping entered Luo, our army also recovered Dengzhou. The scene at that time was the same as today. The people in the city were all hiding in their houses. No one dared to go out."

"Why is this? Could it be that the people of Dengzhou are willing to accept the bullying of the Mongols. But... do not welcome our army?" My thinking may still be stuck in the movies and TVs of later generations.Once the People's Liberation Army invades.Red flags are everywhere.People who chanted slogans.

Jiang Wanzai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, that's not true. Dengzhou City has experienced repeated wars. Whether it's against our Song army, or the Jin people in the past, or the Mongols now. The people in the city are all wary. From their point of view. Whoever comes is the same. The ones who suffer. It’s always them.”

Speaking of which.Jiang Wanzai shook his head.His expression became a little dark and he said: "Your Majesty. The old minister has heard from colleagues in Dengzhou. When our army passed through Dengzhou to Bianjing, some people in the city were still willing to provide various kinds of help. After all, they are all Han people. However, when our army retreated and came to Dengzhou again, because our soldiers had no food, they robbed everywhere. Hey..."

I sigh.After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's continue to publicize the policies related to our army."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Lu Wenhuan said. "The last general held a special meeting on this last night. Anyone who disturbs the people must be dealt with according to military regulations. After entering the city, the last general has sent people to post safety notices everywhere."

"En. Generals. Do you know anyone in the city?"

Wang Anjie, deputy commander of the Central Route Army, said: "Your Majesty, the last general's ancestral home is Dengzhou. The Wang family is the common surname of Dengzhou. There must be many members of the Wang family in the city. It's just that the last general has never been to Dengzhou before. I have never seen these People of the clan."

"General Wang. Do you know where your people live?"

"The last general once heard from his father. The Wang Family Ancestral Hall is located in the northeast of Dengzhou City. It is next to Huazhou Academy."

"Huazhou Academy. I know. During the Qingli period of our dynasty. Fan Zhongyan, who was the magistrate of Dengzhou at that time, founded a lecture hall in the academy. There is a Jiangnan-style garden on the east side of the academy. It is called Baihuazhou. There is a Lanxiu Pavilion .Chunfeng Pavilion and so on. That’s why the academy got its name.”

Wang Anjie said: "Your Majesty is very knowledgeable. The last general is from Dengzhou. On the contrary, I don't know its origin."

I chuckled and said, "General Wang. Go to your ancestral hall and have a look."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

After a while.Huazhou Academy came into view.

It is quite different from what I imagined.This famous academy in the Northern Song Dynasty was dilapidated.come closer.I saw a stone tablet in front of the academy.Inscribed on it is a poem written by Huang Tingjian himself.This poem is written in cursive script.I can't read the handwriting on it.

Gongsun Xiaochen said: "Your Majesty, I have learned cursive script at the end of the day. What is written on it is. 'Fan Gong planted a bamboo pavilion by the water. He wandered here to visit a guest star. The spiritual principle should not be exhausted here. The hundred-year-old grass and trees are still green.'"

"Although the centuries-old grass and trees are green, this place of study has been deserted." I sighed. "Huazhou Academy has been ups and downs for 100 years. It has witnessed the rise and fall of our dynasty. I should learn from it."

"Brother, do you want to go in and have a look?"

I shook my head and said, "No need. Wait until this place reappears the glory of Wen Zhenggong's (Fan Zhongyan) period. I have time to visit this place again."

Pass Huazhou Academy.Then walked forward for more than ten meters.I saw a quaint ancestral hall with its gate closed.

"It should be here." Wang Anjie said.

"General Wang. Go in and have a look. Is there anyone in there?"

"Yes. Your Majesty."

Wang Anjie walked to the door. "Boom, boom, boom" knocked for a long time.The door opened just a crack.A human head poked out of it.He whispered: "Jun, what's the matter, Mr. Jun?"

"Old man, don't be afraid. My late father, Wang Jian. It's next Wang'an's day. I'm here to pay homage to my ancestors."

"Wang Jian, Wang Zhongzhuang."

"It's my late father." Wang Anjie said while handing a jade pendant to the old man who opened the door.

Wang Jian.A native of Pengqiao, Dengzhou.He joined the Zhongshun Army for the first time.Later, he followed Meng Gong to fight north and south.He knew Hezhou (now Chongqing).Baoyou six years (1258).The Mongolian Great Khan Mengge personally supervised the battle under the city of Hezhou.Wang Jian ordered someone to fire a cannon to severely wound him.the next day.Then two 30-jin fresh fish in the pond were made into dough cakes and thrown to the Mongolian army below the city.And write to Meng Ge, "You will attack for another ten years. The city will not be available."After Meng Ge read it.The pain exploded.Soon he died under the fishing city.Jingding five years (1264).Wang Jian passed away.His posthumous posthumous title is "loyal and strong".

"An Jie. That's right. An Zi's generation. The jade pendant is also good. It's the token of my Dengzhou Wang family." The old man looked at the front and continued. "An Jie. Are you Song Jun?"
