The treacherous hero finally went to Sanjiang. The competition on this list is so fierce. Luo Luo is looking for support from everyone. Most of the people who have not collected it have collected Luo Luo Luo's books. Is it okay to vote for a few more recommendation votes?
......
The sound of the horn whimpered and echoed on the plain on the west bank of the Grand Canal. The horn was blown by a Song army scout riding on a horse with all his strength. The low whimpering sound rolled across the plain and reached the bank of the canal.
On the west bank of the canal, an army that could not see the boundaries at the end of the canal is moving forward in a vast way! This army is mainly composed of infantry soldiers and cattle pulling people. Inside the infantry, they advance by the river bank, and the chariots are outside, connected to the end, and stretching endlessly, just covering the other side of the infantry soldiers. These chariots are either piled with various equipment, deer forts, horses, camp tents, or full of rice and flour bags.
However, Chen Dexing's invaders' vehicles were not in the queue. These stone-driven machines are now Jia Sidao's treasures, and they all "enjoy" the treatment of infantry and slowly move forward under the protection of other vehicles. Chen Dexing rode his horse behind the army convoy, watching small but powerful cannon cars lined up in neat rows, quietly driving forward with a smug smile on his face.
After only two months of resurrection of the soul, I have already formed such a small team. Although there are only 2,000 people, at most it is the size of a regiment in later generations, the leaders of all levels are their own brothers. Although this guy is not sure that he is a close friend after worshipping him, this is always a good start!
In a chaotic world, the gun is the capital to settle down! It is also the capital to support the sky and turn the tide!
‘When will there be 10,000 troops and 50 galleys, there will be no unattainable places in the coastal areas of East Asia.’ Chen Dexing was thinking about it, and the sound of whimpering horns came from afar. This is a signal of an enemy calling the police!
On the edge of the canal, all the generals who were marching covered their heads raised their heads and looked nervously at the southwest direction. This place is not under Yangzhou City, but in the empty wilderness. Apart from a canal, the army has no support! Even if the generals and soldiers of the Song army in the two Huai Rivers were not Lao Yu, they also learned through hearing and witnessing that the Mongolian cavalry's reputation in the field!
Even in the "victory battle" two months ago, six of the Song army were defeated by the charge of the Mongolian cavalry! Now, at least more than half of the soldiers who followed Jia Sidao south escaped from the Mongol scimitar. If the same "victory battle" occurred on the bank of the canal far away from Yangzhou City, without the crossbow arrows falling like rain on the top of Yangzhou City, even if it was a battle with the backs, it would be difficult to get a advantage with the cooperation of the Mongolian cavalry and the Han Hou infantry, right?
"The Lord of Privy Councilor has an order, the whole army will stop and rest on the spot!" A horse ran, and a loud voice was on the back of the horse, conveying Jia Sidao's orders loudly.
"Stop!" Chen Dexing shouted loudly and ordered his soldiers.
"Qingzhi, is the decisive battle going to start here?" Huang Zhishen rode a donkey and went out with Chen Dexing. He asked nervously at this moment.
"The terrain here is good, it is the battlefield for the army to fight!" The answer was Lu Shihu, the second generation of the Lu family in Anfeng, although he was a civil servant, could also fight. Now he was wearing a full body and following Chen Dexing's side.
"It should be here!" Chen Dexing was tall and rode a tall Western Region horse. His vision was wide. When he looked around, he could see the surrounding terrain. The terrain here was indeed more conducive to the battle between the army. The canal channel behind him was almost straight south, and there was no stream to rely on. Even if the Song army set up a formation on the back, he could not use the terrain to protect his flanks.
On the right side of the Song army was a large area of barren farmland, where the sight was at its peak, and there were two small forts, which spread along the canal. It should be a village of the Song people. Due to years of war in the Lianghuai area, there were no unguarded villages. Even near the bank of the Yangtze River, the villages were built like a small castle. The young and strong men in the villages were all lit with bows and swords and guns. The people were strong - most of the people who were not strong had already gone to Jiangnan, but although there were no Mongolian Tartars invasion there, there were no invasions there.
, but the landlords of officials and gentry were not as reasonable as Jiangbei. Compared with Jiangnan, the farmers in front-line areas such as Lianghuai, Jinghu, Sichuan, and Jingxi Xiangyang Prefecture are much lighter, and the taxes and land rents are relatively low. Once they encounter northern and southern invasion, they can still be exempted from rent and taxes. The reason is that they are all in their hands, and they are already part of the Song army's defense system, so they naturally cannot be oppressed too much. If they really force the farmers to have no way to survive and rebel, they will be cheaper than the Mongolians in the north.
"Those two forts are still in our hands?"
Chen Dexing had already seen a large banner with Song characters hanging on the walls of the fortress, which was obviously not occupied by the Mongols. This kind of fortress was very strongly built, and there were more than a thousand young people in each village, and even the elderly, weak, women and children could fight. If you really fight your life, it would be enough for the attacker to drink a pot.
"That was deliberately not fighting," although Lu Shihu had never been to the front line, he had a lot of experience in the Mongols' tactics. "The Tartars have always thought they were invincible in field battles, and even if they left two forts for us, they would win. What Liu Gan is most worried about now is not to be defeated by the canal, but to cross the river to the east of the canal."
At this moment, dozens of Song army warships were sailing slowly in the canal, including two 23-wheeled vehicles and ships. They were all warships of the Lianghuai Navy, following from Yangzhou City. As long as Jia Sidao gave the order, these navy troops could immediately use small boats to build a floating bridge on the canal to allow the army to cross the river.
"Lu Jiyi, are you saying that the Tartars deliberately left a flaw, just to lure us to fight with these two forts?" Huang Zhishen, who was standing beside him, shook his head and said, "Mr. Sumilius will still build a bridge on the canal, right?"
"No!" Chen Dexing shook his head, "If the Privy Councilor wants to fight, he will not build a bridge. If the bridge is built, there will be no situation of fighting against the enemy."
"What if the Northern Territory occupied two fortresses?" Although Huang Zhishen was familiar with military tactics, he was born as a businessman after all, and had no place to learn practical tactics. Now he has become a curious baby and has been asking questions all the time.
"If that were the case, we wouldn't have come." Chen Dexing smiled and said to Huang Zhishen, "Millions, remember, win 60% in a war. The winning range is up to 60%. If there are more, it will be difficult to fight. If Liu Gan doesn't sell a few flaws, we will turn our heads and walk back to Yangzhou. What should he do if he really attacks Yangziqiao?"
"Then the Privy Councilor..."
"Of course, we must let Ye Liugan see the winner, so that he will fight us! Otherwise, if he pats his butt and leaves, where will we cut our heads and reward our merits?"
While the three people were talking, the horn of the army was heard again, and then the cavalry was sent over and over again. First, the strong brave army came out first and divided into two units to occupy two fortresses as support for the army. Then the seven armies including Wu Feng, Danyong, Xiongsheng, Zhenhuai, Wuding, Xiongbian, Zhongjie and others received the order and launched a battle formation on the back of the water between the two fortresses. At the same time, the convoy that originally protected the right wing of the army was divided into three, and the grain trucks were concentrated on the bank of the canal. Vehicles transported equipment (the equipment has been removed), Luzhai, camp tent (the tent has also been unloaded), and other items also followed Xiongwu, and the Yongrui armies went to the north and south. This was to use the chariot formation and the Luzhai to protect the two wings of the army.
On the entire battlefield, there were shouting, commands, and steps, as if it was a mess, but if you looked down from a high altitude, it was not difficult to find that the Song army soldiers in a row were moving in an orderly manner. In just a moment, they set up the decisive battle shelves west of the canal. (A good activity of falling pies in the sky, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you to get!
