Collision (four upper)

When Du Hu, the governor of the naval division, returned to Lin'an with the captives, Chen Hangyan's team had already started and went west to kill. Except for the two teams of Langli Leopard and Guojianglong, who followed Chen Hangyan to cooperate with the main force, several other civilian army teams were assigned by Chen Hangyan to capture Huzhou, Jiaxing, Pingjiang and other places.

The one who stayed in Lin'an was a relatively old military general, whose name was Xu Xingzhi. He once won the first rank of Jinshi and completed a military course at the Command Academy, and he is a rare talent who is both civil and military. As soon as Du Hu's fleet docked at the port, General Xu immediately sent someone to meet him to arrange supplies, and after a brief introduction to the battle situation between the two Zhejiang, he handed Du Hu an urgent document.

The document was sent urgently from Fujian Province, and Du Hu opened it and was immediately surprised. The order given to him by Wen Tianxiang was to assist Chen Hangyan, take Jiankang in a short period of time at all costs, and then cooperate with all of Chen Hangyan's military operations.

Let me listen to Chen's command? What does this Chen Da master want to do? Du Hu wondered. The military order was like a mountain, even if there was doubt, he could not slack off, immediately reorganized the battleship, left Lin'an overnight, and drove to the mouth of the Yangtze River by water.

"Jiankang, Jiankang?" On the way, Du Hu wondered in front of the map and thought about Wen Tianxiang's next step. According to Du Hu's estimation of the battle situation, at this time, instead of rushing to attack the Jiangnan East Road, Chen Hangyan should seize the time to knock down the remaining places in the two Zhejiang, and then arrange a defensive line along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Firmly hold in Jiangyin, Jingjiang, Lipu, Zhenjiang and other places, and with the cooperation of the naval division, firmly block the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The lower reaches of the Yangtze River are wide, suitable for the action of the sailors, and the Mongols want to attack Liangzhejiang, and they cannot cross the river to attack, so they can only kill down from the Jiangnan East Road. The Breaker Army could concentrate other men, including a large number of civilian troops, to fight the enemy in the water network area, making full use of the terrain to restrain the mobility of the Mongol cavalry.

But in doing so, the next battle was concentrated on the east and west roads south of the Yangtze River, where there were Da Chun and Lu Shikui, plus large and small local forces, in case reinforcements came from the north during the war......?

Thinking of reinforcements, Du Hu's eyes lit up suddenly. Could it be that the prime minister learned that the Mongols had gone south? But the Mongols have many routes to go south, and a healthy fight may not be able to stop them.

"Could it be that the prime minister is planning to go on a northern expedition?" Du Hu was suddenly taken aback by his thoughts. Now Kublai Khan's army is either concentrated in Liaodong or in the hands of Boyan, and is trained in Dadu. There are not many garrisons in Shandong, Hebei and other places, and if a partial division goes north at this moment, Boyan needs to weigh it, either gambling that this partial division will not threaten the safety of the capital or the northern grain route, or not going south immediately, but pulling out the thorn on his back first.

Thinking of this, Du Hu's eyes suddenly brightened, Prime Minister Wen is not a person who is very good at fighting, so his layout method is never according to common sense. The Northern Expedition of the partial division was very risky for this partial division. But for the entire Jiangnan battle, it is definitely a good move. Based on the current development trend of the Broken Captivity Army on various battlefields, as long as Boyan can be successfully dragged to the north for more than three months, there will be a chance to completely solve the two armies of Dachun and Lu Shikui, and exchange one partial division for the enemy's two-way army, plus two advantageous roads, in three months, this deal is absolutely cost-effective.

But those who go to the Northern Expedition will not be able to come back. A chill rose in Du Hu's heart. For the revival of this country, in the past five years, countless heroes have fallen on the altar. Every day, there are countless heroes who come forward one after another to accept the choice of fate. He suddenly envied those land division warriors, as a water master, the Great Song Dynasty had an absolute advantage over the Northern Yuan, he never had to take this kind of risk, and he would never be able to make himself as noble as others.

Entering the mouth of the Yangtze River, the fleet immediately slowed down. The river water is less buoyant (density) than the sea water, and the river breeze is not as strong and stable as the sea breeze, so the large warships that are ordinary across the sea are too cumbersome in the river. Fortunately, the waterway in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is wide, and the Northern Yuan has no talent for water warfare, so it cannot do any effective interception action.

"General, are we going to requisition some civilian ships and put them on the periphery of the fleet!" At dinner, the captain of the Dolphin, Zhang Yun, came over the ship and suggested. When he followed Zhu Qing to transport grain to the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the Yellow Water Ocean, he once had a battle with the Great Song Dynasty sailors. At that time, he was unlucky, and the ship was directly sunk by the Great Song Sailors, but thanks to his own proficiency in water, he escaped death. After escaping death, I couldn't swallow this breath, and I always pondered the shortcomings of the sailor's gunboat. Although he has now become a captain of the Naval Division of the Broken Army, he still can't get rid of this "bad habit".

"Tell me, what are you doing collecting civilian boats?" When it comes to combat-related matters, Du Hu has never been arbitrary. Seeing that Zhang Yu personally ran over to remind him, after arranging for him to sit down, he asked patiently.

"If I were the commander of the Jiangyin Army, I would do it!" Zhang Yu's face flushed, obviously feeling a little ashamed of his idea, "Jiangyin is the throat of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, I have collected a large number of civilian boats, as well as the kind of cars and boats with slender bodies and pedal-powered vehicles, and I will give you a set there!" ”

"What a cover, you tell me carefully!" Du Hu did not take Zhang Yu's statement as a pestle at all, and encouraged him to carefully explain his thoughts. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)

"Our naval division battleship is large, with a thick deck and fierce firepower, which is an advantage. But except for the one piece of firepower, after arriving at the river, all the advantages became inferior forces. Look..."Zhang Yu stood up, pointed to the Jiangtu on Du Hu's book case and explained: "In the middle of Jiangyin, there is Jingjiang Island, and there is a newly built fortress on it. The waterways are narrow on both sides, but they are a few miles wide. If I ambush here, fill my clippers with sesame oil and straw, and when you get close, hundreds of ships will rush out one by one......."

"I'm going upstream, I'm slow, and it's hard for the boat to turn around. You kid, it's enough to shy" Du Hu smiled and "scolded". That's exactly what he's worried about. At present, the Great Song Naval Division is mainly used for sea and inland river operations, and it needs a completely different shape from the current naval division, but this year, the Metropolitan Governor's Office is obviously unable to provide new inland river warships.

"Therefore, I suggest that we recruit civilian ships and choose those with appropriate load and fast speed. Dismantle a few small cannons from the battleship and send a group of musketeers to the civilian ships. The Tartars are all in one boat, relying on a ruthless force that is not afraid of death. Let's use small boats to hold the arsonist boats on the perimeter, so that the big ships can bombard them from a distance. As long as the first wave of attacks is sunk, the other ships will not dare to board! Zhang Yu smiled and carefully said his suggestion.

"Very good, I'll call Fang Sheng and them in a moment, and everyone will add more. He's fought river wars with you, and the two of you are in charge of escorting the fleet of ships! Du Hu nodded and ordered. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)

On the morning of the third day, the fleet passed through Jiangyin, and the guards of the north bank and the Jingjiang fortress really released more than 100 arsonist ships downstream. Du Hu had already prepared here, Fang Sheng and Zhang Yu came up with dozens of small boats, and with a few small cannons and hundreds of muskets, they shot most of the sailors on the enemy ship. On the side of the main fleet, they forcibly opened the way with artillery, fought for half a day, and wiped out all the Yuan army sailors who came to set fire.

There are also Northern Yuan troops stationed in Jiangyin on the south bank, but the commander of the leading army is a local, I heard that Lin'an has been taken, and several people and horses under the banner of the second division of the broken army are moving here, and the total number has exceeded 50,000 people, and the banner of righteousness was immediately raised. The defenders of Jingjiang, who had lost support on one side, were unable to support themselves, and under the heavy artillery bombardment of Du Hu, the whole army was annihilated. Seeing the failure of the fire attack and the loss of the Jingjiang fortress, the defenders on the north bank were so frightened that they abandoned the port and fled lifelessly.

In this way, all the way to stop and stop, on the morning of the seventh day, Du Hu forcibly passed through several fortresses that were still in the hands of the Northern Yuan and killed near Jiankang. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)

Chen Hangyan's troops left a day earlier than the sailors, but the road was too far, and they had to entangle with the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty along the way, and they had not yet reached the periphery of Jiankang. However, there was a local rebel army under the banner of Li Caiyou, more than 3,000 people, who secretly greeted them, sent a small boat to contact Du Hu, and proposed that they assist in attacking Jiankang City.

Du Hu waited impatiently, left half of the fleet to patrol the river, loaded the rebel army on the boat, turned around and rushed back to Zhenjiang, combing Jiaoshan, Jinshan, Zhenzhou, and other dangerous places near the Yangtze River. The local defenders did not have long-range weapons, and they had already lost the hearts of the people, and they were beaten by Du Hu and the people's army.

After another four days, Chen Hangyan finally killed outside Jiankang City, and fought a big battle with the defenders near Jiangshan, and the Mongolian thousand households who were supervising the war were killed with light artillery. More than 1,000 Mongolian warriors who followed Qianhu rushed forward to avenge the main general, but were stopped by Chen Shuang and his cavalry, and they didn't even flee back with half of their horses' legs.

As soon as the Mongol army died, the Han army and the new annexed army immediately lost their backbone and withdrew like a tide. The guard general Wang Wenxiu had no choice but to retreat with the rebellious army, which was dozens of miles, until he entered the city, and then gained a firm foothold. Fortunately, when Du Hu and Zhang Tang harassed the two Zhejiang, Kublai Khan allowed Jiankang City to rebuild the city wall, so with the newly built high wall, Wang Wenxiu could hold out for a few days.

This person is a disciple of Xu Heng, but he has learned some skills in judging the time and affairs from his master, and knows that with the three melons and two dates in his hands, he "can't feed" Du Hu and Chen Hangyan, while forcibly recruiting the people in the city to help defend the city, while sending people to ask for help outside in the starry night. The river was blocked by Du Hu's sailors, and the urgent letter could not be sent north. But the road to the south is still open, and Lu Shikui, as the governor of one party, can't see death without help. Besides, Wang Wenxiu also calculated in his heart that if Jiankang couldn't hold it, Lu Shikui's retreat might be threatened, and with this one, he was not afraid that the person surnamed Lu would not come to help.
