Chapter 330: The King of Heaven, Asking for a Monthly Pass
Outside Jianghua Island City, the camp of the Northern Expedition Army Army is located on the east side of Jianghua Island City, with a small river on the east side, with a right side leaning against Jianghua Island City, Mani Mountain on the south side, and a long moat was dug to protect it.∽↗∽↗,
The Shangjun camp of the Northern Expedition Army also occupied a large area. When it was about to send troops to Liaodong, Chen Dexing transferred the newly formed and trained First Cavalry Division from Jeju Island to the Shangjun. The First Cavalry Division was a rare horse-ridden cavalry in the Song army sequence, and it was a heavy cavalry with armor. It was a line-up attack, and it was a double cavalry. Although there were only 1,500 people, it was equipped with 00 military horses, most of which were selected from the group of military horses brought to the Southern Song Dynasty by real gold, and some were also plundered from the Goryeo people.
So many horses naturally need an open field for training for them to run, let them be familiar with the master's orders and the cooperation of the battle formation, and even listen to the roar of cannons here and smell the smell of gunpowder. Chen Dexing had high hopes for such a cavalry, otherwise he would not have been transferred from Jeju Island. The new tactics designed by Chen Dexing for the Northern Expedition Army were the cooperation of three types of cannons, infantry and cavalry. It was referring to some tactics in the later line infantry era, and was actually learned from computer games in later generations.
To summarize it simply, it is to use artillery to disturb the enemy, fight with infantry, and attack and chase and flee with cavalry. The perfect cooperation of the three arms should be able to restrain the advantages of the Mongolian cavalry in field battles. At the same time, in strategic maneuvers, the navy's mobility is relied on the maneuverability of the Mongolian cavalry to fight against the powerful maneuverability of the Mongolian cavalry.
Today, the three armies of artillery, infantry and cavalry in the camp of the Northern Expedition Army were dispatched together to conduct joint formation exercises. They were disbanded, gathered, started, arranged, and changed formations. The staff had long arranged the wooden men repeatedly and used small teams to conduct the drills. Now it was the whole army's drill, and when the entire army's drill was basically completed, it was time for the Northern Expedition Army to launch another attack.
However, unlike Chen Dexing's every game he had to attend in the past, Chen Dexing never showed up in today's drill. A morning passed quickly, and the army on the school ground was having lunch in an orderly manner.
General Lu Hu of the Army, Zhang Xizai, the new military advisor of the cavalry division, and Wang Wei, the commander of the cavalry division, were patrolling together at the resting ground of the cavalry division. The war horses were a delicate thing, they had to eat good food, use good food, and also needed to serve them. They wiped the body, massaged the muscles, and so on. Being a cavalry is definitely a very hard job, and it is not careless at all.
That's why Lu Hu and others patrolled in the cavalry resting ground during the training intervals. Supervised the soldiers to serve the horses first, and then it was their turn to have a meal and rest. After walking around, Lu Hu and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the horse can finally serve you." Lu Hu turned around and asked the cavalry commander Wang Wei. "I did a good job. I want to ask for a merit for you from my elder brother."
"It's all my brothers, why should I ask for me?" Wang Wei shook his head indifferently. It's not that he doesn't care about merit, but that there is no use in Chen Dexing's system at present. His cavalry commander is already the sixth largest dispatcher in the army, second only to the upper, middle, lower armies and the North and South Fleets. The five above are Lu Hu, Gao Da, Liu Monk, Gu Dali and Wang Lufei, all of whom are among the twenty-two brothers. Did his own brothers squeeze their positions?
While the two were talking, the general who was eating suddenly made a commotion, and the sound of the rice bowl falling to the ground one after another.
Wang Wei's face darkened. Just as he was about to patrol, he heard Lu Hu screaming at the sound.
"What's wrong?" Wang Wei asked at Lu Hu's face, which was almost stunned.
"Monie City... There is something flying over the mountain city!"
Wang Wei quickly turned around. Then he looked up and widened his eyes like Lu Hu, "What is that?!"
Above the Mani Mountain City, there is an UFO that looks like a ball, hanging in the air two or three meters high, with a round top and a pointed bottom, with a red surface and a white word "Chen" on it!
Lu Hu and Wang Wei both took out the telescope from their arms. The telescopes were all produced by Watsons, a business run by Fatty Qu (you can tell at first glance that they were named Chen Dexing). Because they were crystal polished, the output was not high. Currently, only senior officers and warship observation posts were equipped.
The UFO turned out to be a bulging ball, as if it was sewn from satin (it was sewn from two layers of good silk with the best cloth raft), and there was something like a basket hanging. There was also someone inside the basket, which looked familiar, as if...
"Big brother...Brother!"
"Why did my brother go to heaven?"
It turns out that the one in the basket is Chen Dexing!
Lu Hu and Wang Wei screamed at the same time. Compared with Chen Dexing in the basket, the UFO was quite large, at least as big as a house. Such a huge object was hanging in the air, and in full view of everyone, how could it not surprise people?
"The Lord! It is the Lord!"
At this time, the sharp-eyed soldier also recognized Chen Dexing in the basket and shouted.
"Put the Lord in heaven!"
"The Lord is indeed not a mortal!"
"The Lord is the King of Ming, and the Lord of Ming is born..."
"King Ming, King Ming..."
The public opinion that Chen Dexing was the king of Ming Dynasty came to the world and had long been promoted in the army. The instructors of Dayi from all departments said this, and the Ming people who joined the Northern Expedition Army believed it. At this moment, they all started to clamor together.
"Let's go and see what's going on!"
Lu Hu turned around and said, without waiting for the answer, he quickly walked towards Mount Mani. Wang Wei and several other officers followed closely behind. Seeing them walking up the mountain, many officers and soldiers gathered on the hillside. In the blink of an eye, there were already crowds of people on the north slope of Mount Mani, and everyone was looking up. The rumors that Chen Dexing fell from the sky spread among the generals like flying.
The UFOs that appeared above the Mani Mountain City were naturally seen by naval officers and soldiers in nearby ports, merchant islands for trade, and residents of Ganghua Island. Of course, they also included King Wang and Liu Yu, who lived in the Cui family mansion. The two men and ministers in the troubled kings and ministers played chess in the house and discussed the move to the capital of Gyeongju. Gyeongju was originally Tokyo, the capital of Silla. The damage encountered in the thirty-year Goryeo Mongolian War was not great, and the surrounding clans were strong enough to defend the royal family. Moreover, Gyeongju is located on Gyeongsang Road, in the southeast corner of the Goryeo Peninsula, far away from the west coast of Goryeo where the war was about to take place. Once the situation is critical, you can float to Japan for a temporary escape. It is indeed a place where you can advance or retreat.
While the two were chatting, there was a commotion outside, and someone could vaguely hear "King Ming! King Ming!" in Chinese.
Liu Yu stood up and opened the closed window. The louder noise came in with the spring and the gentle wind. The eunuchs in the Goryeo Palace in the yard put down their work and just raised their heads to look at the sky.
Liu Qi also looked up at the sky, and suddenly opened his mouth wide and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Liu Qing, Liu Qing, what did you see?" King Goryeo didn't see Liu Qing answering, and then he arrived at the window. Looking up, he was stunned.
"This, this, this...what is in heaven?"
Liu Yu shook his head, "I don't know... it seems to be above the Mani Mountain City, which is where King Chen lives!"
Wang said: "Go and take a look, we'll know..."
At this time, the imperial street of Jianghua Island City was already crowded with people, and people seemed to be tides toward Yong'an Palace. The palace gate was open at some point, and the crowd rushed in and looked up at the sky from the main hall square near Mount Mani. Some of them were brave enough to climb up the city wall of the palace. As for Mount Mani, they couldn't get up, because they had already been crowded with officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army.
"Go a step aside, let go, the King of Goryeo is here!"
Liu Yu took a few guards to protect Wang Yu to Mount Mani. He was the first to open the way and shouted in Chinese. Many of the military generals around him recognized him as the Grand Goryeo official and made a narrow passage.
Mount Mani is not very high, with an altitude of only more than 400 meters. The mountain city was built about halfway up the mountain. There is a huge platform at the highest point, which is the location of the later Qianchengtan. It is said that it has nothing to do with the Lord. However, in the 13th world, this is the last stronghold for the Goryeans to resist the Mongol invasion.
At this time, the "Qianchengtan" had three layers inside and three layers outside. Many people squeezed up together, all of whom were officers of the Northern Expedition Army with some status, civil servants from the Northern Recruitment Division, and charlatans of the Tiandaoism.
Wang and Liu Yu also squeezed in. Now they finally saw clearly what the UFO looked like. It was an oversized satin ball with a large basket hanging underneath. In the basket was a person standing, which was Chen Dexing with a full face full of energy. There were several thick ropes under the basket, where they were tied, and there were more than a dozen strong men in big and thick sturdy men holding it so that the silk balls would not let the silk balls drift away in the wind. Under the silk balls, there was a woman in white and a few men in Taoist robes, both of whom were solemn, and they looked up at the silk balls and Chen Dexing in the basket below.
At this time, the silk ball had already become a little deflated and its height was slowly decreasing. It seemed that it would soon fall to the ground. The people who watched the scene opened their mouths and hooked their necks, and couldn't even remember the sounds and shouts.
Suddenly, the woman in white shouted in an almost sacred tone: "The Ming King came to the world, sweep away the demons and save the people! My Lord Chen, created stones, thunder, cannons, looked into the distance, killed the demons Mengge, led the crowd to sweep away the demons on the sea, and now he created the celestial ball to communicate with the heavenly beings. The miracle is obvious, and he must be the Ming King came to the world!
