Chapter 188 Sheepskin Raft
Suddenly, I found that Luo Luo's new book is ranked 11th in the new book monthly ticket list, and I still have 39 votes to enter the top 10. If you have monthly tickets, can you support Luo Luo?
.........
The rainstorm was like weaving, and thunder and lightning were rolling in the dark clouds in the sky. In the distance where the sight was almost impossible, there were several dragons hanging down from the sky.↖
Hundreds and thousands of ships pulled their anchors in this storm, with oar shafts connected, and dozens of miles of long queues were discharged on the water surface of the Yangtze River. At the forefront of the fleet were twenty three-layer oar-mounted warships ships that were shipped out in a row. The wooden oars on both sides of the ship were neatly swung, and they separated and pushed the huge hull to break through the waves.
After passing Chongqing, the water flow rate of the Sichuan River slowed down a little, and it was not so difficult to sail against the current. Therefore, the hundreds or thousands of wooden boats on the river were all moving forward with their own power and did not use a boatman.
On the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Song army in the brigade was moving forward in the muddy road. The soldiers fell step by step, some supported each other, and some used their spears as crutches, complaining along the way. The officers rode on horseback, waving their whips in their hands, trying to drive the soldiers to speed up the march. However, it was useless - Sichuan had many years of war, and there was no other valuable things in the treasury room except Huizi. Sichuan's Huizi depreciation was even more than Lianghuai, and Huizi in Jinghu could not be regarded as a hundred cents of money.
The army in Sichuan had been in a state of "no military pay" for a long time, and they were dependent on the generals scraping some land on their respective territory to support them. However, the territory of the generals in Sichuan was also ravaged by the Tartars, and they could not find much money or property at all. If they were asked to use their own capital, it would be harder than climbing to the sky!
When we were guarding the city before, everyone protected their homes and relatives. We had to fight desperately without rewards. But now we are going out of the city to fight in the field and march in the rain and heat. If we don’t need rewards and feed them, how can we get up?
Of course, Pu Zezhi and the generals in Sichuan knew this. But they did not have much wealth in their hands, and there was still a big battle to deal with! Moreover, in order to seize the opportunity, they could not wait for the property transported by the Yangtze River to arrive in Chongqing, so they hurriedly set off.
Besides, what we have to deal with this time is the Tartars who have run out of food and support. There should be no hard battle, right? Of course, if we know that it is possible to fight a hard battle, Pu Zezhi and the others would not dare to pull the army out of the strong city.
Chen Dexing was not worried at this time. Anyway, the more than 5,000 people he brought were brainwashed Han chauvinists. When he heard that he wanted to kill the Tartars, he would send troops. No one had ever thought about getting a reward for driving and giving him rewards - he didn't dare to think that Chen Dexing's Pili Navy had pressure to make people positive and motivated! I remember that during the Long March of the Red Army, someone dared to ask the Political Commissar General what rewards he wanted for the opening fee?
Three thousand and hundreds of oarists are now bare-chested, trumpeting, and paddling hard. The instructors of each ship used this time to continue to reason with them - the topic of the two days is that the Mongolian New Affiliated Army was slaughtered and eaten meat! Chen Dexing got some "survivors" from somewhere. He cried on each ship about his miserable experience.
The sailors on the boat were either from the Huai River or from the northern part of the country, and some were from Sichuan people who had just joined. Who didn’t know that the Tartars were cruel? Who had never been bullied by the Tartars? Hearing such a story, everyone was indignant, and they all gritted their teeth and wanted to fight back. They also caught a few Mongolians to cut their flesh and drink!
Chen Dexing himself is now in the crowded and narrow cabin of the Tiger, holding Kong Xiucai and Zhang Jiu (Zhang Hongfan) and others reading the "battlefield communication" word by word. Not to mention that there are still a few scholars in the Pili Navy, and the articles are very good. And they are easy to understand, not the kind of person who is full of paper, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand - such a writing style is not very suitable for tabloids.
The footsteps sounded outside the cabin, and then I saw the cabin door being pushed open. Yang Po'er, dressed in men, walked in hurriedly.
"Gongwei, do you tell me something is wrong?"
In the army, the woman also put away her charming look that was so sexy that she was so sexy that she didn't wear makeup on her face, and she was also wearing a wide men's clothing. Apart from her breasts, there was nothing seductive.
"Is there any news about Cuixian?"
Chen Dexing put down the manuscript in his hand and asked with concern. The current battle situation seemed very clear. The Mongolian army was already in a turtle. When will it cross the Sichuan River and when will it be their doomsday - the tired and hungry army was attacked halfway through, and naturally there was only the result of the entire army being wiped out!
But Li Cuixian is still in the Mongolian army! How can he finish his eggs when the nest is destroyed? Although there is already a princess waiting for Chen Dexing in Lin'an, he never thought about breaking up with the little witch...
"Three Princess..." Yang Po'er's face was full of sorrow. She paused for a moment, shook her head and said, "Once the Mongolian army is in danger, the Three Princess will leave immediately."
"Can you leave? Those who are not familiar with the place... will not get lost, right?"
Yang Po'er shook his head: "The Mongolian army is dozens of miles away from the south bank of the Yangtze River. As long as you walk north, you can reach the riverside in one night and then swim over."
Li Cuixian has been practicing martial arts with Yang Miaozhen since childhood. Although her martial arts skills are not very strong, her physical fitness is really nothing to say. In the future, she will definitely be as good as a professional athlete. Moreover, she has a very good water quality, so swimming in the Yangtze River is no problem!
"The third princess carries the token of Xuanfusi with him. If he encounters the Song army, there should be no trouble." Yang Po'er added another point.
The Mongolian and Song Dynasty war was not just the surface of the golden swords and iron horses. The underworld was actually quite fierce. Both sides had a meticulous action on each other's land, and naturally there was a way to withdraw me. The troops operating on the front line had received relevant strict orders and escorted their own meticulous action when necessary, which could be rewarded.
"It's been a long time since Cuixian is leaving, and it's time to leave. Will there be any accident?" Chen Dexing's face was filled with worry.
"It shouldn't be... The third princess has a strong relationship with Princess Baoyin, Menggehan's adopted daughter. With her protection, it should be foolproof."
"I hope this is the case!" Chen Dexing sighed slightly. There was never a foolproof statement on the battlefield where the two armies confronted each other. He regretted it now and did not let Yang Po'er bring Li Cuixian back to his camp.
...
In the midst of heavy rain and lightning, the Mongolian army of the brigade was marching on a more difficult road. After killing thousands of new affiliated troops and abandoning most of the wounded and sick, the number of the Mongolian army had dropped to less than 50,000. Although the 50,000 army was not small in size, but when they were standing at a high place, they could not feel any great momentum. The strict queues were gone, and the various flags covering the sky and the sun were gone, and even the nine white flags symbolizing the Mongolian Khan were gone. Even if you observe from a distance, you can feel how sluggish the morale of this army was. It was a bit different from the mighty magnificent ten days ago when the Mongolian army just retreated.
However, Li Cuixian, who was riding a horse and following the Mongolian concubines, knew that the morale of the Mongolian army was definitely not as sluggish as it seemed! In fact, tens of thousands of troops were in the Jedi themselves, which was in line with the military rule of putting them to death and then reborn!
Most of the new affiliated troops who were made into jerky were Sichuan people, and they could sneak away quietly. However, the Mongolians, Semu people and northern Han people were really killed. In the mountains of Sichuan, there are so many hated Han men who are sharpening their knives and waiting to slaughter the left-behind Mongolian generals. These days, even the Mongolian teams who went out to patrol and search were beaten and ambushed from time to time. If anyone fantasizes about running back to the north quietly, that is the stupidest fool. They can't get away with the accent level alone, unless they can put wings and fly all the way back!
If you can't fly, you can only fight to the death! Almost everyone in the Mongols in the dilemma have this idea. And Mo Ge, Nülin, Tuohuan, Shi Tianze and others who are in charge of the soldiers are also using veteran soldiers. Naturally, they know the truth of showing falsehoods as true and numbing the enemy.
When Mengge died, rumors spread everywhere in the army and people were in panic. This was the time when he was most afraid of being attacked by the main force of the Song army, so he had to make a big fuss and deter the enemy. Now, everyone already knew that their situation was critical, and if they didn't fight desperately, they would be wiped out! Therefore, they would show weakness and the enemy.
Now, what Mo Ge and others are most worried about is not the decisive battle with the Song army. Instead, the Song army takes the Lizhou Road to the north and blocks the Mongolian army's way to retreat north to Guanzhong. At the same time, they use small groups of troops to raid the Chengdu plain and destroy the few crops in the fields.
The horse's hooves splashed into the mud and ran fast in the rain. Princess Baoyin and her personal soldiers were running along the small road in the valley. Although her female family was temporary, the military proposal of Brother Mo and others would still ask her to listen to it. In fact, it was to make these female soldiers guarding the nobles feel at ease.
Baoyin rode his horse until Li Cuixian before he tied the reins, wiped the sweat and rain on his forehead, and shouted: "I found that the army of the Southern Barbarians is advancing west along the river. It seems that he wants to block us in the south of the Yangtze River."
Li Cuixian sneered: "The Yangtze River is so long, how can they come here? Our warriors didn't throw the sheepskin raft, did they?"
Baoyin smiled and said, "How could it be thrown away? The southerners only said that we, the Mongols, are not good at water wars. But we have gone through many big rivers that we have forced to cross on sheepskin rafts. We are just suffering from the loss this time because there are no big ships."
