The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 546 The Battle of Yizhou ([-])

end of March.Under the direct leadership and supervision of the two Mongolian gods, Njiya and Yintianya.The first batch of [-] musket samples produced by the Weapons Supervisor of the Yuan Dynasty was successfully released.As soon as the message is received.Kublai Khan, who was overjoyed, immediately went to the Weapons Surveillance to inspect.And ordered on the spot.Kudos to all artisans.

After listening to Njiya's report.Kublai Khan said to the privy envoy Zhenjin beside him: "True gold. Pass on my will. Immediately form a firearms battalion. Transfer General Shi Bi from the front line of Mingzhou to Dadu. He will serve as the first commander of the firearms battalion."

"Yes. Father."

After learning about the progress of the ammunition formula.Kublai Khan said: "My lord, about the ammunition for muskets. I think the current formula should be used first. Let's gradually improve it."

"That's the only way to go." Cai Enjiya frowned. "I didn't expect that the study of gunpowder in the Southern Dynasty would be so deep. Could it be that I got the help of the guardian." Speaking of this, Enjiya suddenly remembered the situation in the Valley of the Kings.

"Guardian." Kublai Khan didn't know Cai'en Jiya's experience in the Valley of the Kings.But when Cai Njiya mentioned the guardian, he also froze for a moment.After a while, he changed the subject. "My lord, I guess. As long as the power of our army's muskets is close to that of the Southern Dynasty. With the combat power of our army's cavalry, we can completely compete with it."

"Exactly. The emperor is right."

The third day of April.Xie Daolin led the Second Division of the Imperial Forest Army, [-] artillery pieces and [-] projectiles to Xuzhou.For the sake of confidentiality.all the way.The Imperial Forest Army played the banner of the eighteen chambers of the Xiangyang Military Region.The artillery was also disguised as a haystack.

After ordering the soldiers to rest.Xie Daolin immediately discussed with the two generals Li Tingzhi and Xia Gui, the coaches of the East Route Army.It was decided to dispatch a total of [-] soldiers from the imperial forest army and the six divisions of the Eastern Northern Expeditionary Army.Launched the Battle of Yizhou.

Yizhou has a long history.It can be traced back to more than 2000 years ago.In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.More than a dozen small countries have emerged in Yimeng.Among them, Fei, Feng, Tan, Ju and other countries had prosperous civilization and great influence.Among these small states, the state of Feng was established in the ancient village of Feng in the north of Linyi today.It is the embryonic form of the ancient Yizhou City.The ancient city of Yizhou is roughly located in the urban area of ​​Linyi City, Shandong Province.All the territories under its jurisdiction belong to the Yimeng Mountains.The terrain is complex.There are open plains.There are rolling hills.There are also mountainous mountains and criss-crossing rivers.

According to the plan.The Northern Expeditionary Army on the East Road was divided into three groups.General Wang Sheng led an entire army into Teng County.General Zhu Huan led a group of soldiers to attack Yizhou.The task of Wang and Zhu is to attract the Yuan army in the two places.But don't attack the city easily.Li Tingzhi and Xia Gui led the army to bypass Yizhou and go straight to Yizhou.

In the early morning of the fifth day of April.Wang Sheng and Zhu Huan bid farewell to Li Tingzhi and Xia Gui.Take the lead in sending troops northward.

The next morning.Following Li Tingzhi's order.The [-] troops were dispatched in batches.In charge of the vanguard battalion is still the Polu Army led by General Jiang Cai.Then came the Second Division of the Yulin Army led by Zhang Shijie.Next came the four-compartment Eastern Northern Expeditionary Army.

"It's finally the day of the counterattack." Li Tingzhi, who left Xuzhou City, couldn't hide his inner excitement.Said to Xie Daolin and Xia Gui who were beside him.

"That's right. Xiangfu. Now the army in the middle road has won consecutive battles. It has recovered the whole territory of Henan. We shouldn't be too far behind." Xia Gui said with a smile.

Li Tingzhi nodded and said, "Yes. Thank you General. Xia Shuai. Let's get on the horse."

After the three got on their horses.Li Tingzhi told Miao Zaicheng and Zhang Jun, who stayed behind in Xuzhou: "General Miao. The two sides staying in Xuzhou must always be prepared to go north. Once our army captures Yizhou Prefecture, it will attack the entire Shandong. Arrive At that time, the troops were insufficient. You led a half-commissioned army to station in Yizhou. The defense of Xuzhou City was handed over to General Zhang Jun."

Miao Zaicheng and Zhang Jun said in unison: "Yes. Don't worry, Commander."

Li Tingzhi smiled slightly.He said in high spirits: "Okay. Let's go."

After departing from Xuzhou.The army marched northeast.Five days later.Bypass Yizhou.Come to Luozhuang store, which is seven or eighty miles south of Yizhou Prefecture.Jiang Cai, the leader of the Polu Army who arrived one day earlier, said: "Commander, Luozhuangdian is east of Linyi River. Go straight north and you will be Yizhou Prefecture. Let's camp here today."

"Okay. General Xia Song. Send the order down. All the troops rest for one night. Attack the city tomorrow."

"Yes. Commander."

Inside Yizhou City.The temporary commander-in-chief of the Yuan army.

Dong Wenbing, the coach of the Eastern Mongolian Route Army who got the news, immediately held a military meeting.

"Everyone, Li Tingzhi and Xia Gui gathered [-] troops in the Southern Dynasty to attack Yizhou, Tengxian and Yizhou respectively. What's your strategy for this?"

The veteran Tian Yingdu first said: "Dong Shuai. Our East Route Army currently has 5000 people. In addition, there are more than 4 new troops in the Yizhou area. The total strength is nearly [-]. Although the number is larger than that of the Southern Dynasty. But the final general thinks that we should use the solidity of the three cities, defend and counterattack, and annihilate as much as possible of Li Tingzhi's effective forces."

"General Tian. This statement is wrong." Tian Yingdu had just finished speaking.Just listen to a young general. "Father Commander. Our army has more troops than the enemy army. We also take advantage of the right time, place, and harmony. When the enemy's foothold is not stable, attack first."

The young general who spoke was the youngest son of Dong Wenbing.The new army commander Dong Shixiu.Dong Wenbing has three sons.The eldest son, Shiyuan, and this son, Shixuan.Shixiu, the youngest son.The three of them are proficient in arching horses.Everyone has the courage to be undeserved.If we only talk about martial arts.Dong Shixiu is the most.

Tian Yingdu was once a general under the Mongolian rebel Li Fen.Afterwards, I feel Dong Wenbing's righteousness.It fell to Mongolia in 1262.For seven years, he has been following Dong Wenbing in the East and West.Combat experience is very rich.Dong Wenbing valued him quite a lot. "Although the little general's words are good, but Tian thinks that this battle should focus on severely injuring the Song army. The most effective and direct way is to let the enemy army attack our city. When the enemy army is exhausted, our army will fight again. Go south from the mountain road with an elite all the way. Cut off the return route of the Song army. This will be a great victory."

Dong Wenbing gave an "en" and said, "Wen Yong. You fought the Song Army outside Xuzhou City. Tell me about it."

Dong Wenyong said: "Dong Shuai, all generals. Although the combat effectiveness of the Song Army has been greatly improved, except for the Polu Army, the rest of the troops are still inferior to our cavalry army in horse battles. However, the Song Army's fire bombs But it can restrain our army. This time the Song army is going north, and it must also carry fire bombs. Therefore, I also agree with General Tian’s intention. Hold on to the city. First destroy its vital forces, and then slowly break through.”

Dong Wenyong's prestige in the army has always been very high.What you say has some weight.

"The generals are listening." Dong Wenbing thought for a while.No longer hesitated. "It is ordered that Teng County's garrison General Dong Wenzhong and Yizhou's garrison General Haratu guard the city. Don't go out to fight the enemy lightly. Tomorrow, the Japanese commander will personally go out of the city to fight the Song army. We will make plans later."

"Yes. Dong Shuai."

On April 300th, at the dawn of the Buddha.Li Tingzhi led the Polu army and the soldiers of the Eighth Chamber to leave the camp.Go to Yizhou City.After more than an hour.Song Jun arrived more than [-] meters outside the south gate of Yizhou City.Li Tingzhi and Xia Gui were wearing battle armor.In the center of the team.Xie Daolin hides behind.On the left and right sides are Jiang Cai, Shi Zhong and other masters of the Eastern Route Army.

Dong Wenbing standing on the city wall is fully armed.Seeing that Song Jun had arrived.Immediately ordered [-] elite cavalry.Surrounded by a crowd of generals.Go out and fight.

Xie Daolin has never met Dong Wenbing.Hand build a pergola.look ahead.I saw that this person was in his early fifties.tall and big.In the palm of his hand was a mountain sword.Stepped down a black black horse.It gives people a kind of majesty at a glance.A sense of momentum. "A good general." Xie Daolin couldn't help but secretly praised him.

Li Tingzhi patted the horse lightly.Stepped forward three or four horses and said: "This commander is Li Tingzhi from the Northern Expedition Army on the East Song Road. The man who came is General Dong Wenbing from Mongolia."

Dong Wenbing also stepped forward a few horses and said: "Exactly. General Li. I haven't seen you for a long time. You are always good."

"General Dong. Mr. Li has always had a bad life."

"Really." Dong Wenbing said in a daze. "General Li. You are the pillar of the Song army. You might as well submit to our Yuan dynasty..."

Li Tingzhi interrupted: "General Dong, you know why Li is not good."

"Dong doesn't know. Please tell me."

Li Tingzhi said loudly: "General Dong, you are a Han. But you help the evildoers. In turn, you help the Mongols oppress our people. There are still many Han people like you in the Mongolian army. It is precisely because of this that Li has a bad life." ah."

Dong Wenbing was at a loss for words.After a while, he said: "General Li. More than 100 years ago, the emperor of the Song Dynasty ignored the Han people in the north and abandoned them. Our ancestors could only survive under the rule of the Jin people. After that, the Mongols rose again. This is not our fault. also."

"General Dong. I once mentioned it to the emperor. What happened back then was indeed the fault of the first emperor. You and other ancestors cannot be blamed. After a hundred years, I will be wise and powerful to the emperor. I will work hard and take it as my duty to recover the rivers and mountains. At this time, you still have to pay attention. If you want to continue to work for the tiger, you are very wrong. General Dong. You are loyal, well-informed and reasonable. You have done a lot of good things for the Han people in the north. I mentioned it repeatedly to the emperor. Li hopes you can understand the situation. Recognize your ancestors as soon as possible Return to the clan. Don’t be a traitor again.”

Dong Wenbing was a Han Chinese.If you go on.It's a mistake.And there are many Han soldiers in the Eastern Route Army.Then he sneered and said: "General Li, don't talk nonsense here. How dare you let the horse come here. It's almost a fight with Dong Mou."

Li Tingzhi laughed out loud.He turned around and said, "Which general would like to take the lead."

Jiang Cai couldn't bear it long ago.He galloped his horse forward and said, "Commander. The last general is the vanguard. He should fight by himself."

"Okay. General Jiang. This commander will sweep the battle for you."

Jiang Cai is fast.In an instant, he rushed to the front of the Yuan army.Dong Wenbing nodded and said: "Since Li Tingzhi doesn't dare to fight, Dong will not accompany him either. Shixiu, go to fight."

"Yes. Grandfather." Dong Shixiu responded.Applause forward.Big knife in one fell swoop.Fight with Jiang Cai.
