Chapter 536 Rekindling the Flames of War

Ali Haiya said: "Yes, Commander. The general will understand."

Ashu said "hmm".He continued to order: "After General Ali Hague leaves, our army will raid Dengzhou. General Arahan. General Zhang Hongfan."

"The end is here."

"The commander-in-chief ordered the two of you to take 1 troops each and set off before midnight. Attack the east gate and the north gate of Dengzhou respectively. There must be no mistakes."

"Yes. The order of the last general."

"General Atahai."

"The end is here."

"You lead [-] infantry to stay in Nanyang."

"Yes. Commander."

"The rest of the generals will be with Marshal Boyan and this commander. Set off at midnight tomorrow night. Attack Dengzhou."

All the generals shouted in unison: "Yes, Commander."

At noon the next day.Gongsun Xiaochen and Tian Xiuyan returned with two captains of the scouting team.General Ali Haiya of the Nanyang Yuan Army led the troops northward.the difference is.The judgments of the two scouts were quite different.It is said that there are [-] to [-] soldiers and horses.One said it was less than ten thousand.

"Why is there such a big difference?" I thought for a while. "Explore and report again."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

After the scouts left.Lu Wenhuan said: "Your Majesty, the Yuan army in Nanyang used to be about 1. Later, Guo Kan took away more than [-] people. There should be more than [-] people left. At this time, [-] to [-] troops were dispatched. The general thinks it is impossible .”

"En. Lu Aiqing's words are reasonable. I agree with you. If there are only 3 or [-] people left in the Nanyang Yuan army camp, it will be very difficult to stop our army from attacking. Ashu and Boyan will understand. Nanyang is lost. The whole of Henan It was completely exposed to our army."

"Exactly." Lu Wenhuan said. "I don't think Ah Shu would do such a risky thing."

Tian Xiuyan said: "Your Majesty, I will go and find out at the end of the day."

I know that Tian Xiuyan is highly skilled in martial arts.You can go there yourself: "That's fine. Repair your face. Bring more people."

"No need. Your Majesty. It is convenient for the last general to act alone. Although the last general is defeated by thousands of troops, it is not difficult to escape."

"That's good. Quanyi. You have to pay for Xiuyan's life."

Zhang Quan clasped his hands together and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Wenhuan watched the two walk out of the Chinese army tent.He said: "Your Majesty, before General Tian and General Zhang come back, our army needs to readjust the strength of the Dengzhou camp. We can advance and retreat freely."

I nodded and said: "The current situation. Divide up and fight. It is undoubtedly beneficial to our army. Lu Aiqing. Send the order. All armies are in a state of preparation. The west gate and south gate are closed. Each city gate is only open for one hour a day. All the garrisons in the west and south retreated to the city of Dengzhou. The artillery battalion was stationed outside the east and north gates. The camp outside the east gate was the main one. Strictly defend.”

"Yes. Your Majesty."

At 26:[-] p.m. on the [-]th.Tian Xiuyan and Zhang Quanyi hurried back to Dengzhou.The two ran all the way.Didn't even have time to take a sip of water.He immediately reported to me: "Your Majesty, it has been confirmed. Ali Hague only brought [-] soldiers and horses. I sneaked into the enemy camp early this morning and captured a centurion. According to his account. Ali Hague made great fanfare. In fact, there was only one Thousands of soldiers and horses. The purpose is to confuse our army. As for the movement of the Nanyang army, this centurion will not know."

"Confused our army." Fang Ling said. "Ashu doesn't care about Xuchang?"

"No. Xuchang can be regarded as an important place for military strategists. Unless..." Lu Wenhuan said thoughtfully.

"En. Lu Aiqing is right. Ashu is basically aware of our army's strength. Jiang Aiqing took away [-] soldiers. This time, General Wu and General Fan took away a large number. It doesn't matter whether they know that Zhang Shun's army has marched north ahead of schedule. As long as they believe that Wu Songhan and Fan Tianshun have taken away forty artillery pieces, they are likely to attack Dengzhou. My banner has always been in the camp of Dengzhou East Camp. If Ashu captures Dengzhou, I can be cut off The contact between the Northern Expeditionary Army and Xiangyang in the rear. It can also kill me here. It kills two birds with one stone."

"Two birds with one stone." Fang Ling laughed. "Ashu is just daydreaming. More than 40 artillery pieces of our army are waiting for them."

I smiled and said, "Lu Aiqing. Order the generals to come here to discuss matters."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

"Cultivate your face. I still have one thing for you to do. Your physical strength is acceptable."

"Your Majesty, rest assured."

"Okay. Repair your face. You rest for a while. Set off immediately. Arrive at Jiaxian County as quickly as possible. Order General Wu and General Fan to join forces. Take the initiative to attack. Concentrate firepower to annihilate Ali Haiya first. Then return to Dengzhou .If my predictions are correct, the two armies can attack inside and outside. This time there is a chance to severely damage Ashu's central army."

Tian Xiuyan said without hesitation: "Yes. The last general will go here."

Dawn on the 27th.After meeting with the Ministry of India and Thunder.Zhang Shun led his army to launch a fierce attack on the south gate of Xuchang.Twenty artillery pieces aimed at the south gate together.Following Wanyan Tianlei's order.The cannons sounded like thunder.The tranquility of the early morning was broken in an instant.

"Sacred weapon. Sacred weapon." It was the first time Yin Yinglei Buqu saw the firing of cannons.Everyone couldn't help cheering.The power of the projectiles had shocked them.Not to mention the more powerful artillery.

Even Yin Yinglei couldn't hold back his excitement.He thought to himself: "The invention of firearms will completely change the traditional way of fighting. The era of cold weapons will soon come to an end. Your Majesty is indeed a god-man."

Since landing on the Shandong Peninsula.Yin Yinglei and Han Jing fled around with their troops.Just like bandits.Follow the plan in advance.Yin Yinglei resolutely implemented my guerrilla policy.Although on the surface.Song Jun was very embarrassed.But it also exhausted the chasing Yuan army.There is no gain.months ago.Yin Yinglei seized the only opportunity.At the cost of thousands of projectiles.The five thousand soldiers led by the big winners.The chief general Edu, who was seriously injured, also died under Han Jing's gun.Fight down.It made Yuan Jun tremble with fear.Had to mobilize more troops to hunt down.

for months.The troops marched without stopping.Or it is more appropriate to call it escape.Sometimes while sleeping and dozing off.You also have to keep one eye open.In case of Yuan army's attack.The difficulties and hardships are only known to Yin Yinglei and his subordinates.In the most difficult time.Even a small number of deserters appeared.Fortunately, most of the soldiers of the Song Army finally survived.Under the command of Yin Yinglei.Hit east and west.It broke through the siege of the Yuan army led by Dong Shixuan and Li Ting.Came to the city of Xuchang.

Although Xuchang City is also an important ancient city.But there has been no war for decades.The city wall is far less solid than Dengzhou, which is at the border.About half an hour later.The south gate was blown down by artillery bombardment with concentrated fire.Yin Yinglei gave an order.The two troops were under cover of artillery.Like an arrow off the string, it rushed towards the gate of the city.almost at the same time.Wen Zhang and Fan Liangfu led the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army to attack from the north gate.

The city guard Guo Kan led his army to resist desperately.But in front of the superior force of the Song Army.It is also helpless.In addition, the defenders had seen the power of firearms before.It only lasted less than half an hour.Zhang Shun and Han Jing led the crowd to attack the south gate.

"General. The Song army is powerful. Hurry up and evacuate from the east gate."

"General. Keep the green hills. Don't be afraid of running out of firewood. Before the Song army encircles you, let's withdraw."

Under the repeated persuasion of the surrounding guards.Guo Kan was heartbroken.He led the remnants of the army to escape from the east gate of Xuchang.Guo Kan is a master of martial arts.The soldiers of the Song army who surrounded them could not stop them.Can only let it go.When generals such as Zhang Shun, Han Jing, and Wen Zhang who attacked from the north gate came near the east gate.Guo Kan has rushed out of the east gate with more than 3000 Yuan troops.

The generals did not catch up.It just wiped out all the Yuan troops in the city.after.Yin Yinglei immediately ordered to clean up the battlefield.Appease the people in the city.Repair the ruined walls.Wen Zhang and Fan Liangfu exchanged pleasantries with Yin Yinglei, Zhang Shun, Wanyan Tianlei and others.Then he took over the grain and grass from Zhang Shun's army.Lead the army to leave.Go straight back to Bianliang.

"General Zhang. Report victory to the emperor. Our army has successfully recovered Xuchang."

"Yes. Commander Yin. The last general obeys the order." General Zhang Shun, the commander of the Lin'an Military Region, reunited with Yin Yinglei, the commander of the Military Region, after many months.It's hard to hide the joy in my heart.Soon after the establishment of the Lin'an Military Region.Some soldiers and horses went on an expedition to Ryukyu.After the Song-Meng war started.Divided into several pieces.The main generals of the military region basically never got together.

Just as Yin Yinglei conquered Xuchang.The Nanyang Yuan army was under the command of Boyan and Ashu.Launched an attack on the Song Army in the Dengzhou area.Arhan and Zhang Hongfan, who served as the vanguard, each led an army.They attacked the east and north camps outside Dengzhou city respectively.

The Song army, which had been prepared for a long time, was ready.I stand at the forefront of the East Day Camp.Personally oversee the battle.The soldiers of the Eastern Daying Camp were under the command of Lu Wenhuan, the coach of the Northern Expedition Army in the middle.The first to fight back with muskets and bows and arrows.

"Aren't there any artillery pieces?" Asahan seemed relieved.He ordered the Yuan army to charge forward against the scattered muskets.

The Mongolian iron cavalry is fierce.Although people keep falling.But still rushing forward desperately.Cavalry is extremely fast.Not long.The Yuan army at the front had rushed to the front of the camp seven to 80 meters away.This distance is exactly the effective range of the musket.The Imperial Forest Army defending the east is one and a half brigades of the Second Division.Following the order of the teacher Zhang Shijie.All the musketeers pulled the triggers of their muskets.The Yuan army in front has to clear obstacles such as antler fences.Suddenly lose sight of one another.He was swept under the horse by bursts of muskets.

but.The Yuan army did not stop attacking.Although the casualties are not small.But after clearing the obstacles.Another group of cavalry attacked.This group of cavalry is slightly different from the previous Yuan army.The first person is in a group of two.Holding a blocking object such as a table of eight immortals.Although slightly slower.But it can block the fire of the musket.

The ammunition of the musket was fired upon it.Only a muffled sound remained.Unable to penetrate the desktop.Not to mention injuring the people behind.

Zhang Shijie has rich experience.At a glance.immediately ordered.Let the musket shoot at the opponent's horse.Because of the dark sky.Zhang Shijie didn't see clearly.The horses of the Yuan army were all wrapped in a thick layer of oilcloth.
