The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 531

Zhao Huai and the others were highly skilled in martial arts, and their overall strength was superior to Wen Zhang's three. In addition, they had a new force, and immediately forced the Yuan army in front of them to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, a hundred death-death team members of the Song Army rushed into the south gate of Bianliang. Although the three Yuan troops stationed in the city arrived one after another, the death-death team members, led by Zhao Huai and others, firmly guarded the city gate. , Then, [-] Song troops arrived in time under the command of Jiang Wanzai. In the face of absolute superiority, thousands of yuan soldiers only resisted for a while, and then they were defeated amidst bursts of musket fire. Where have these defenders seen firearms? They thought it was a divine soldier descending from the sky. They were terrified. The top general of the army also died under the musket.

Witnessing the power of firearms for the first time, Fan Liangfu, Meng Huanshan and others felt incredible. When they heard that there were more powerful cannons, they sighed in their hearts. No wonder the invincible Yuan army was defeated in the Battle of Xiangyang And back.

Meng Huanshan and Cheng Fei are both veterans in the city, and they have a lot of friends. Under their persuasion, these captured Han soldiers of the Yuan army are one after another. Most of them are willing to join the ranks of the Song army, and the rest are captured by Jiang Wan Zai ordered the release.

Due to the strict military discipline of the Song Army, Bianliang City returned to its former peace after only two days. For an army that would rather sleep under the eaves than harass the people, it is easy to win the favor of the people in Bianliang. What's more, most of the people in the city are Han Chinese.

Three days later, I received the good news from Jiang Wanzai, and agreed to the proposal of Jiang Wanzai and others to form the first military region of our army in the north, the Bianliang Military Region. The first batch of soldiers consisted of defected Han defenders. Organized into one army, General Zhao Huai served as the first system envoy of the military region and concurrently served as the No. Battalion Commander.

After reading the battle report, I asked Gongsun Xiaochen to call Zhang Shun, Zhang Shijie and Wu Songhan to the tent.

"See Your Majesty,"

"Mianli, General Wu, the two generals Zhang, now Jiang Aiqing has successfully captured Bianliang, and then there will be a state of persistence. Therefore, food, grass and arms will be the key. Two generals Zhang, each of you will lead The soldiers and horses of the headquarters, General Wu, you let the cavalry No.17 army accompany you, and before the Yuan army encircles Bianliang, transport the supplies to Bianliang as soon as possible."

Wu Songhan and Zhang Shun clasped their fists together and said, "Yes, the last general's order,"

But Zhang Shijie hesitated for a moment, and said with some concern: "Your Majesty, the first division of the Yulin Army is far away in Bianliang. In the end, only the new third division will be left. Will it lead to a shortage of musketeers?"

"Don't worry, General Zhang. The Nanyang defenders don't know what our army is doing. Our army is waiting for work and has artillery. As long as you don't take the initiative to attack, you will be fine. You can go and return quickly. Now that Bianliang has recovered, it must be Everyone in the Yuan Dynasty knows that there are not a large number of Yuan troops stationed along the road, so you go north from Xixia Town, and then take the official road shortcut. Tomorrow, I will increase the patrol to prevent the Nanyang cavalry from raiding you, and the musketeers will go with you. It is also to prevent A Shu's cavalry, "

Zhang Shijie said: "Yes, the general will understand,"

As Fan Liangfu said, the political significance of regaining Bianliang is far greater than the military significance. It not only cheered up the Han people in the north, but also put Kublai Khan in a dilemma. Following Wuliang Hetai's suggestion, he negotiated peace with the Western Khanates, and sent a negotiating team headed by Zhenjin to the northwest border to negotiate peace with the four major Khanates. If an agreement can be reached, at least [-] elite troops can be transferred from the border , At the same time, Kublai Khan ordered that with the general Wanfu Zhang Boluhuan as the commander and Alibo as the vanguard, [-] garrison troops from Dadu and [-] new troops were dispatched to Bianliang, intending to follow the example of the battle of Duanping into Luo, The Song army was trapped to death, and Kublai Khan did not accept Hao Jing's suggestion to transfer troops from Nanyang.

A Shu, Boyan and others in Nanyang were all shocked when they learned that Bianliang City was breached by the Song army.

"Bo Yan, isn't it afraid that our army will cut off their return and become a lone army when the Song army divides its troops and marches northward?"

"Commander, Boyan feels the same way. Maybe it's because the Southern Dynasty army lost their composure after the Battle of Xiangyang. I think Zhao Yu is young and vigorous, just like the old Southern Dynasty emperor when he was young. He is eager to make achievements, but he doesn't know what the emperor has planned."

Ashu said: "The army of the Southern Dynasty is moving everywhere. The Sichuan army and the Jianghuai army have already started their operations. Even its navy has moved north from the coast. The people who came are not good. The emperor has not many troops around him, and the new army has not formed yet. I will share the worries of the emperor, General Guo Kan,"

"The end is here,"

"This commander orders you to lead [-] infantry troops, set off immediately, and station in Xuchang, and stick to it for the time being. After the emperor's instructions arrive, we will make a next step plan,"

"Yes, Marshal, the last general will obey the order,"

"Shi Jianjun, report to the emperor,"

"Yes, handsome,"

"General Arahan, what's the move of the Song army in Dengzhou recently?"

"Returning to Commander, according to reports from the scouts sent by the Pioneer Battalion, in the past few days, the Southern Dynasty troops have patrolled Liaohe Town and Wadian area in two batches, and there is a possibility of building a bridge on the Baihe River near Wadian. The Song army patrolling around Liaohe town has reached the scale of ten thousand people, and it seems that they are building a camp."

"Building a bridge," Boyan thought for a while, "The Southern Dynasty army is about the same number as our central army. Since we divide our troops to the north and attack Nanyang in two ways, it seems that it is not the best strategy. Once the firearms are separated, their power will drop sharply, no. One of these routes must be suspected soldiers, and Zhao Yu will only concentrate on one route to attack me in Nanyang."

"General Boyan is right," Ali Haiya said, "If the Southern Dynasty divides its forces, at the speed of our cavalry, we can concentrate our forces to destroy all the way first, and then we will win a big victory. The bridge thing is just a cover,"

"Well, this commander agrees with the views of the two, General Atahai,"

"The end is here,"

"I will give you [-] cavalry troops to patrol Wadian day and night. Once you find a bridge built by a southerner, destroy it immediately,"

"Yes, the order of the last general,"

"General Ali Hague, General Arakhan,"

"The end is here,"

"The two of you will lead [-] cavalry troops to Liaohe Town tomorrow. If the Southern Dynasty army has no artillery, the camp they built will be destroyed,"

"Yes, the end will be ordered,"

Two days later in the evening, about fifty miles away from the south gate of Xuchang, the Yuan army led by Zhang Shun and Guo Kan met unexpectedly. For a musketeer, pulling the trigger does not require too much physical strength. Five hundred projectiles were thrown first, blowing the Yuan army in front of them into a dizzy state. Under the command of the Yuan army, they lined up to shoot, and finally the 7000th cavalry army rushed to kill, and soon defeated the Yuan army who was afraid of firearms. More than [-] remnants entered Xuchang.

After discussing with Zhang Shun and Zhang Shijie, they didn't pursue them and went to Bianliang overnight.

In the next few days, Lu Wenhuan personally led the army to build a camp seven to eighty miles west of Liaohe Town, and the Yuan army attacked every day. However, Lu Wenhuan did not resist. Withdrawing and going back and forth like this, the camp basically didn't take shape.

A few days later, Zhang Shun and Zhang Shijie, who transported grain and grass, returned to Dengzhou smoothly. On the same day, Lu Wenhuan also stopped building the camp.

On September 24, Kublai Khan in Dadu received three urgent reports one after another during the court meeting. One was that Guo Kan encountered the enemy in Xuchang and lost thousands of soldiers; Under the personal leadership of Li Beiyang, the navy of the Southern Dynasties has reached the coast of our dynasty. Our army lost the first battle, and the minister has rushed to the Shandong naval base overnight;

After reading these three battle reports, Kublai Khan let out a long sigh and suddenly felt powerless all over his body, with pain in several joints at the same time. At this time, Kublai Khan did not know that his joint pain was caused by gout.

"Back to court," Kublai Khan said, holding back the pain.

It really is no coincidence that there is no book, ice and fire are two layers of sky, that night, I also received three battle reports, the first battle report was sent by Wang Lixin, the governor of the Yunnan Military Region. Action against bandits.

"Okay, Xiaochen, order Wang Lixin to transfer [-] soldiers from the Yunnan Military Region to support the West Route Army,"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

The other two battle reports are from Donglu Li Tingzhi, but one of them was forwarded by Li Tingzhi. The three battle reports made me even more happy.

Li Tingzhi said in the battle report that on September 5000th, the Yangzhou and Luzhou armies of our East Northern Expeditionary Army jointly attacked Xuzhou, an important town in northern Jiangsu, and wiped out more than [-] enemies. The victory of Xuzhou laid the foundation for the attack on Shandong. A good foundation is the first victory of the Eastern Route Army after its northward march. In addition, Li Tingzhi also forwarded a letter from Yin Yinglei. Taking advantage of the guerrilla thinking of the Mongolian general Edu, our army finally got the opportunity to ambushe the Mongolian Kexue in the area of ​​Yansi Village in the west of Liaocheng by using the Mongolian general Edu's underestimation of the enemy and the power of throwing bombs. Its chief general, Edu, was killed, while our army suffered only about [-] casualties. The only shortcoming is that all the throwing bombs have been used up.

"Mongol Qixue is really extraordinary, he actually used up thousands of throwing bombs of General Yin," Yuan Ji sighed.

"If you run out of throwing bombs, you can create them one after another, but cowardly Xue Jun is not so easy to cultivate," I laughed. Lei, let him approach Bianliang,"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"
