The fifty-eighth chapter, the general hunts and rides across the river and returns 1

"After a day of riding down, we deployed two hundred rafts on this river, which were used by Mongolian warriors and Han people. Once we discovered the ships of Sinansi people, we would launch an attack immediately without asking how many. Let the Sinansi people take some strength first. After riding up for a long time, our warriors guarded the two sides of the straits. I allocated two thousand households, a total of one thousand seven hundred soldiers. Once we found the ships of Sinansi people, we immediately raised a fire to the police. Two thousand households lined up the river and shot the Sinansi ships that were coming downstream with strong bows. Each thousand households were divided into three teams, and the three teams took turns to shoot. Our army's archery skills were unparalleled in the world. If the Sinansi people wanted to break through, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties."

Tasi didn't comment, but let the white horse under his seat move forward slowly, and suddenly said: "Even if there are many people and ships, they can pass through Chapter 407. Han craftsmen began to imitate Mongolia's own bed crossbow.

It was said that it was an imitation, which could not help but underestimate the craftsmen in the northern region. Although they encountered the Mongols' imitation of the bed crossbows, they immediately obtained many craftsmen who were good at making large crossbows. So this time, when they led the people in the southern expedition, they equipped a considerable number of bed crossbows in the army.

Using the bed crossbow in water battle is nothing more than a wonderful chess game by Yelihu. The bed crossbow has a long range and is powerful, which is the only weapon for water battle. This year, the two armies that invaded Huaidong and Jinghu, both used the bed crossbow to block the river surface and block the actions of the Song Dynasty navy. However, the Mongolian army on the Huai River could only place the bed crossbow on the shore and fire at the river surface, which was far less than the bed crossbow on the wooden raft tower that could approach the Song army warships and facilitate shooting. The bed crossbow was also protected and covered, and it was even less likely to be killed by the Song army's arrows. All of this is due to the wonderful idea of ​​Yelihu's water city tower.

"You can't think of the idea of ​​building a wooden building on the water." Tasi knew his subordinates very well. He understood that the Mongolians growing on the grassland knew nothing about water wars, and they did not have the concept and technology to build a water city tower: "Who built this water city tower?"

Yelihu answered honestly: "When Zhang Rou captured De'an Mansion, he got a craftsman named Gao Xuan. The warriors thought he was just an ordinary Sinansi man, so they wanted to kill him. Unexpectedly, he lie on the ground and begged, saying that he was a craftsman who built wooden rafts for Sinansi's naval army and could build wooden rafts and wooden buildings. So Zhang Rou sent this person to our army and I asked him to try it. It was indeed good. The wooden rafts and wooden buildings were tall and strong. Fortunately, this person fell into our hands, otherwise the Sinansi man would use this person to build a water fortress, and it would be even more difficult for us to conquer."

"It's done well." Tasi never praised his subordinates easily. This sentence was enough to make Yelihu excited: "We came from the grassland and were naturally water-free, but if we could get the help of these Jiangnan craftsmen, this big river would not be a real obstacle."

He gently turned his head and turned his horse to Yeli, saying, "But don't forget the strengths of our Mongols. Our cavalry has never met an opponent. Maybe you are very confident in the defense and defense on the river surface, but if you can't resist Sinansi's warships, you can temporarily give up the river bank, lure them all to land and then use the cavalry to attack. This is a tactic to cover up our weaknesses and highlight our advantages."

Yeli suddenly bowed his promise, but he felt a little dissatisfied. He thought that the three carefully arranged defense lines of Han River were strong, and even if there were a hundred warships downstream Song troops, it would be difficult to attack. As long as the Song people were unable to do anything on the water, Yingzhou or Xiangyang were all the things in the bag of the Mongols.

"We can't delay here for too long. Once we delay here, we will not have time to siege Xiangyang before the summer." Tasi rode his horse toward the camp: "We must capture this city within ten days!"

At this moment, the Mongolian king had no idea that the Song army was already preparing for a counterattack. The target of the counterattack was directly aimed at the main Mongolian troops outside Yingzhou.

When he returned to the camp, a quiver happened to be speeding from the south, bringing an urgent report from the Mongolian army stationed in Fuzhou. After the Song army drove Zhang Rou backwards, the Song army went upstream along the river and rushed into Zhangdahu with fifty warships, rushing into Zhangdahu with more than 200 ships used by the Inner Mongolians in Zhangdahu. At the same time, the chief general of the Song army in Huangzhou led a large army to break into Fuzhou, fighting with more than 100,000 Mongolian troops, and won three battles. Except for some of the Mongolian army, the rest of the Mongolian army were ready to drive away the captured cattle and horses and were preparing to retreat north. However, they also found that the torch south of the Yangtze River stretched for hundreds of miles, with at least 100,000 people and horses, and the people were noisy, and they were preparing to cross the river to enter Fuzhou. The thousands of Mongolian troops in Fuzhou did not dare to be negligent, so they quickly sent envoys to make trouble for Tasi.

Liu Baduer, a 500-hundred-far-marching marching, performed bravely in the battle last year and was deeply favored by Tasi. This time he fought as the vanguard of Tasi headquarters. When he heard the news that the Song army was preparing to cross the river to attack with a 100,000 army, he became excited. As soon as the quiver retreated, he stood up and shouted loudly: "Please give me three thousand cavalry, I am willing to go to Fuzhou to personally eliminate all the 100,000 Sinansi's people!"

Tasi asked with a smile: "Sinansi has so many soldiers and horses. Everyone can shoot you into hedgehogs with an arrow. Are you not afraid?"

Liu Baduer laughed loudly, reached out to take a camel bone arrow from the arrow gourd, and said, "The arrow shot by Sinan Siren is soft and weak. I want to wipe out 100,000 of them as if it were so simple." He exerted a little force, and the camel bone arrow broke into two pieces. The so-called camel bone arrow was not necessarily made of the camel's shin, but the camel bone was extremely tough. The name shows that the arrow's shaft was so strong, but in Liu Baduer's hand, it was easily broken like a dead branch.

Tasi waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be anxious and happy. I'll ask you, what if the Sinansi people met your three thousand cavalry with artillery in front of you?"
