Chapter 3: Collision (1)

Chen Hangyan led more than 20,000 soldiers of the Broken Army, with the cooperation of 70,000 or 80,000 heroes in eastern Zhejiang, and slowly approached the vicinity of Lin'an City.

He didn't want to attack the city urgently, the defender Fan Wenhu was a wreck, the sailor had not yet reached the designated combat position, and the land division was attacking too quickly, which would definitely scare Fan Wenhu out of the sea. Although this General Fan was incapable of fighting, he was one of the best in escaping, and the two Zhejiang places were so big, letting him go, and chasing him was really a waste of time.

Therefore, Chen Hangyan adjusted the deployment of troops, reorganized the team, and tried his best to avoid the black sheep harassing the people in the rebel army. On the one hand, he sent Langli Leopard, Guojianglong, Zuanshan Harrier and other leaders of the People's Army, who had experience in cooperating with the Broken Army last time, to pacify the local area under the banner of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and order the officials who defended the territory for the Northern Yuan to surrender.

Chen Hangyan promised in the name of the Governors of the Great Song Dynasty and Zhejiang that those who voluntarily surrendered before the destruction of Lin'an City would be treated as righteous before the battle. No matter what happened under Fan Wenhu, as long as he was not the one who was extremely angry with the people, he could be forgiven. If a military general wants to stay in the army, he can choose to go to the Shaowu Command Academy for two years of training, and after he comes out, he will serve as a general of the Broken Army or the local garrison according to his original official position and performance in the school. And those civil officials who came out of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, as long as they did not help the Mongols to oppress the good in office, could enter the echelon of alternate officials, or receive a high "settling-in allowance" to return to their hometowns.

Chen Hangyan wrote clearly in the inscriptions to the remnants of the soldiers in various places, it is not that Lao Chen bullies people and does not give officials to everyone. The Metropolitan Governor's Office has regulations that the appointment of local officials can only be achieved through imperial examinations, training, or local elections. Even if the official and vows are made now in order to win over everyone, when the two Zhejiang are stable, everyone will be removed again. Instead of being false and deceiving for a while, it is better to make it clear to everyone from the beginning.

As for the wealthy households and people in Zhejiang, Chen Hangyan told them not to worry. According to the Provisional Statute of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, their private property was supposed to be protected, and if anyone robbed them of their property in the name of the Broken Army, they could go to Chen's camp at any time to denounce it. Chen Hangyan swore in the name of his ancestors that no one would be allowed to take advantage of the chaos to harm the people.

As soon as the text came out, the two Zhejiang shook. Some of the non-descendant generals of the Fan family's army, who had long been half-hearted, surrendered one after another, although most of them chose to go to Fujian to enjoy happiness and do business out of consideration for the current situation. However, this act of non-resistance still greatly accelerated the recovery of the two Zhejiang. And the people of all over the country saw the heroic posture of this benevolent and righteous army with their own eyes when the army swept through Liangzhejiang last time. Seeing that the Fan family couldn't support it, they beat the water dogs one after another. Some of them sent a message to the Broken Army, asking the two generals Chen and Fan to send men and horses to his hometown as soon as possible to expel the transit envoys and warehouse envoys of the Northern Yuan, as well as those tax collectors who did evil under the banner of the Mongols. Some simply organized themselves and smashed the Mongolian and sex-eyed petty officials who usually rode on the heads of everyone into meat sauce. The "hard work" of these tax collectors and corrupt officials accumulated furniture and gave it all to the surrounding people. In the middle, there are also some wealthy and big families who try to take advantage of the chaos, taking advantage of the huge family business and strong local appeal, occupying the local yamen, claiming to open the way for the broken army. The situation was chaotic, and both the Northern Yuan and the Broken Army couldn't take care of cleaning them up, and these people were also having a good time.

By the end of May, several die-hard elements who tried to venture closer to Hangzhou were attacked by the people's army led by Li Xingtong, and disappeared, and the forces that could set off storms in the two Zhejiang provinces were basically subdued.

Fan Wenhu bitterly hoped that Kublai Khan's reinforcements would not come, and knew that the Great Yuan Dynasty had completely given up on himself. At this moment, he had no choice but to shake his spirit to face the battle, and first sent a few henchmen with acceptable combat effectiveness to test Chen Hang's eyes, but as soon as the soldiers left the city, they were bombarded head-on by artillery, and finally survived a round of artillery bombardment, and with a tremor on the ground, Li Xing personally rushed over with the cavalry.

For the glorious image of Li Xing, the devil, Fan Jiajun still remembers it vividly. Seeing the galloping momentum of thousands of horses and the Li Zijiang banner raised high, the soul went three points first. Relying on the cooperation of the archers at the head of the city, he pretended to release a few rounds of cold arrows, and immediately turned around and rushed desperately towards the city gate.

Fan Wenhu was so angry that he scolded, and personally went to Wengcheng to supervise the battle, and successively cut down three hundred households and one thousand households, but he still couldn't stop the rout.

"His grandmother's, Lao Tzu usually raises you, provides you with food, and provides you with ...... drink" Fan Wenhu scolded, before going to war, he held the illusion of frustrating the enemy's spirit and bargaining when he surrendered in the future, but he didn't expect that his descendants did not have the courage to fight with Li Xing at all.

"Dashuai, you can't fight, if you fight again, the big devil Li will be killed in the city!" Some generals hugged Fan Wenhu's arm and cried.

Fan Wenhu let out a long sigh, and the sword fell to the ground weakly. He ordered his soldiers to let go of the urn city, let as many defeated soldiers come back, and turned around and went up the city wall.

Holding the wall battlement and looking out, I saw Li Xing leading a team of cavalry back and forth, rushing the children of the Fan family who stayed outside the city. And those who have lost their formation and coordination have become the training objects of the people's army. Dressed in various costumes, the militia divided into small squads and sent the new recruits to hell by slashing with knives and spears or shooting with feathered arrows. The most infuriating thing is that most of the bows and arrows in the hands of those civilian soldiers are shoddy, and they are not fatal when shot on the body, and they pierce the children of the Fan family like hedgehogs, lying in a pool of blood and wailing for a long time.

"Strong crossbow, give me a bed crossbow, shoot the one surnamed Li, shoot the one surnamed Li!" Fan Wenhu roared. For a while, he forgot his original intention of surrendering the city. More than two dozen henchmen pushed three bed crossbows that had already opened their bowstrings, and shot them down with a "buzz".

Li Xing led the people under the city to rush and kill, and suddenly heard the sound of the wind above him, and he was stunned, and saw several soldiers on the left and right falling to the ground one after another. A huge bolt of crossbow shot straight into the crowd around him, knocking over three or four of the cavalrymen and horses.

"Fan Wenhu, peel your skin after the city of Lao Tzu is broken!" Li Xing raised his sword and scolded at the head of the city, not waiting for a new round of crossbow arrows to be launched, and rode away. The nearby militia who were helping the battle had crossbow arrows shot down from the city, and they also avoided it. The city gates where the defenders took the opportunity to close, under the miserable city walls, were full of dead and wounded of the newly annexed army. Others held their injured arms and banged desperately on the city gates, praying for Fan Wenhu to show mercy and let them into the city to heal.

"Brothers, Fan Da Soft Egg doesn't dare to open the city, you surrender here, and the Broken Army will treat your wounds!" Li Xing found a relatively safe location far away from the city, and shouted from afar.

"Brethren, we have a wronged debtor. Two generations of traitors with his surname Fan, what good can you get by following him, it is better to surrender in Kaesong. lest the sword have no eyes when the city is sieged. Chen Hangyan sent a few soldiers with loud voices, standing beside Li Xing and shouting.

There was chaos in the city and under the city, and everyone knew that Lin'an couldn't hold on to this situation. Some people began to quietly discuss, calculating how many people could be evacuated from the sea with Fan Wenhu with the current capacity. Someone whispered, "Forget it, where can you run on the sea, the Great Song Sailor may be hiding on the sea, just waiting for us to die!" These words were in Fan Wenhu's ears, and his scalp exploded. When employing people, he did not dare to take extraordinary measures to rectify the situation, so he had to personally patrol the city, ordering his soldiers to reorganize the city's defense equipment and fight with the broken army.

Before the buffalo could pull the winch and re-pull the few ballistas, the siege artillery of the Breakers was pushed to the firing position. Li Xing hated Fan Wenhu for plotting against himself with a ballista just now, and ordered the artillery to bombard the city tower first and destroy the ballista. The artillerymen received the order, adjusted the firing angle with sandbags, and then, under the command of Wu Kang, fired a cannon at the city tower that had been temporarily fortified not long after Lin'an City.

"Ping-pong" bricks and stones splashed everywhere, the city tower shook, a puff of smoke came out, and half collapsed. After Fan Wenhu saw the artillery, he immediately left the city tower, so he escaped. Several of his guards who were in charge of the ballista were blown away at the same time as the ballista, and not even a single corpse was left behind.

"Thirty-seven degree angles, three catties of charge, six taels and four coins, flowering shells, two cannons in a group, three consecutive shots!" Wu Kang raised the flag high and ordered according to the data of the first artillery.

The loader quickly adjusted the amount of gunpowder and the angle of the heavy cannon, and the six heavy guns were divided into three groups and roared at the same time.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The explosions were wave after wave, and the head of Lin'an City, which was not very high, was half a foot shorter in an instant, and the soldiers defending the city held their heads and fled in embarrassment. The wounded soldiers who were wandering under the city walls completely gave up their intention to enter the city, threw away their weapons, raised their hands high, and cried out to the captives to surrender.

"Stop, let the wounded soldiers come over, and give Fan Wenhu half a pillar of incense to consider the time to surrender!" Chen Hang saw that the enemy army at the head of the city had no morale at all, and he was unwilling to fight these wretches, so he ordered loudly. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)

The shelling stopped abruptly, and several groups of civilian troops who were skillful in cooperating with the Broken Army stepped forward and ordered the soldiers of the new annex army who had come to surrender to walk in order to the middle of the civilian army ranks and squat. The doctors who accompanied the army also reluctantly stepped forward to bandage the wounds of those who surrendered.

At this moment, the ballistas in the city are in ruins, and they can no longer threaten the people in the city. Several articulate soldiers, protected by shield-bearers, walked near the walls and shouted loudly.

"Surrender, brethren, is it interesting to be a dog for a tartar? Kublai Khan didn't even pay you a military salary! ”

"Brothers, tie up Fan Wenhu and offer the city. Even if he goes home to farm, it is better than following Fan Wenhu, who was beaten by our General Li so that he even broke his belt with a dead buckle, and escaped for 300 miles bare-chested! ”

For a time, Fan Wenhu's various ugly things on the battlefield were described by the soldiers. Every sentence was very expressive, and the soldiers in the city had a fever in their ears, and they really hated themselves for being blind and following such a bad seed. At the moment when the army's heart was fluctuating, a group of civilian troops came to the city, shouting in a messy local dialect from all over Zhejiang: "Tubao, don't follow Fan Wenhu, the family has been allocated land, ten acres of paddy fields, and the Great Song Dynasty will not collect agricultural taxes within three years!" ”

"Seven pounds, go home. The Metropolitan Governor's Office has an order to rent monasteries and other people's land, and only pay 30% of the rent at most. Go home and save money to marry a daughter-in-law! ”

All kinds of dialects are subdued, and some of the words are incomprehensible to the defenders, but they all know that this is an authentic Liangzhejiang dialect, and the army can't make it up. In an instant, the soldiers in the city were in chaos.

Seeing that this was not the solution, Fan Wenhu dispatched archers to the city to shoot and kill the shouters, and secretly arranged for people to go to the port to take care of the large sea ships that had been prepared. These sea ships were all smuggled by him from the south with a lot of money, and they were fast, stable, and carried a lot of goods.

The archers climbed up to the top of the city under the threat of their sabers, fired a few arrows indiscriminately, and shot the shouting enemy back. Afraid that the other party would fire artillery again, he hurried down to the city. As soon as he straightened up from behind the battlement, he saw several groups of soldiers of the Broken Army walking up with long shields one man high.

"Don't go down, don't go down, the enemy army is going to climb the city!" Fan Wenhu's nephew, Fan Cheng, threatened to shout with a war knife, "Shoot me, as long as they are ready to climb the city, they won't open fire!" ”

The archers were helpless, and bent their bows and arrows again, and crackled with arrows, causing the opponent's long shield to clang. The heavily armored shieldmen of the city's Breakers didn't pay any attention, letting the arrows tickle the shields or the all-steel curved armor on their shoulders.

After shooting for a while, the people in the city were tired, and the rain of arrows slowly thinned out. The besieging team was unhurried and lifted hundreds of iron pipes more than four feet long into the air.

"What's that?" Fan Cheng exclaimed in surprise, this was a weapon he had never seen before, saying that it was a spear, and it had no blade. It's a crossbow, but I can't see where the strings are. When he was probing his head and looking around, he suddenly heard a shout "Release!" ”。

Fan Cheng immediately shrank his head, but unfortunately it was too late, and more than five hundred muskets rang out at the same time. The white and shiny projectile brought a shower of iron rain to the city.

The unlucky Fan Cheng was hit by three projectiles at the same time, flew over the battlement like a harrier, and fell under the city. The archers were stunned, cried, jumped up and ran down the city.

The musketeers outside the city held back for months, waiting for this moment. They lined up in three horizontal lines to shoot in turns, and after several waves of fire, there was not a single living creature on the city.

"Uptown, Uptown!" Fan Wenhu pressed his back against the city wall and urged the soldiers. At this time, who is willing to risk their lives, everyone just saw clearly, all those who were beaten down the city wall, there were more than one to several small holes on their bodies, and some people were obviously penetrated, a small hole in front of them, but behind them was a hole with a large bowl mouth, blood was flowing outward, and no matter how much soil was used, it could not be blocked.

"Go to the city, kill the enemy army, and each person will be rewarded with a silver ingot!" Fan Wenhu gritted his teeth and used the magic weapon of housekeeping.

"Keep your own flowers!" The soldiers shouted as they dodged backwards.
