War of Nations (1)

The autumn colors of Jiangnan West Road are very different from those of Beiguo University. There are many mountains here, and the north wind coming across the river is blocked by the mountains and rivers and stops. Skimming the sea and descending the clouds, separated by the peaks, stagnant. Between the stormy and rainy days, it is unpredictable. The wasteland at the foot of the mountains is moistened with green like ink, and along the foot of the mountain, the layers of trees are dark red and yellow, as if someone has painted them with a paintbrush, and they are indescribably gorgeous.

"The old man has heard that Jiangnan is good in autumn, and I can see it today, it is really extraordinary!" Boyan pointed at the boundless autumn colors in front of him with a horsewhip and praised. The last time the army went south, he attacked the city all the way, and he was like a bamboo, and he didn't care about appreciating the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River until he reached the city of Lin'an. Now that the army is blocked by Zou Huan, he has time to take care of the boundless autumn colors in front of him.

He was in the mood, but the soldiers on the left and right couldn't raise any interest. The army was blocked outside the mountains for more than a month and could not advance half a step, and outside Fengxincheng, a small county, there were more than 30,000 corpses on both sides of the enemy, but the world-famous Mongolian iron cavalry never broke through the defense line of a group of grass thieves and rogues. If this stalemate continues, there is no need to fight, and the brothers will be dragged down by just delaying.

In this situation, Boyan still has the heart to travel in the mountains and rivers, and he is indeed worthy of his prime minister's belly. Ignoring the frustration of his generals, he intoxicated himself chanted a little word that was out of tune, hummed a nondescript Mongolian pastoral song, pointed to another hillside in front of him, and ordered with a laugh: "I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time, how about you accompany the old man on the horse?" After that, he didn't wait for everyone to reply, and rushed out first.

Under his crotch is a cloud-chasing horse from Sanhe, with ears like bamboo batches, eyes like hanging bells, and four slender and powerful legs. The soldiers were afraid that the commander would be killed by the thieves in the mountains after he was alone, so they hurriedly chased after him. More than 400 riders swept through the hills like clouds, and although the number of people was small, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.

Boyan took the mount at the top of the hillside, reviewing. After galloping, he already saw sweat on his forehead, but there was no tiredness on his face, watching the soldiers catch up one after another, stopping beside him, Boyan wiped the sweat with the sleeves of his robe, sighed and said: "Old age is not strong in muscles and bones, I want to lead the army here when the old man led the army here, and he has not sweated more than 300 miles in a day and night, and he has never sweated like pulp, now, hey!"

"The prime minister's sword is not old, and the majesty is still there!" Tens of thousands of firefighters didn't take the time to say loudly. In that year, he followed Boyan in Ezhou with 200,000 troops to break the Song Dynasty 600,000 soldiers and horses, after the war, people did not leave the saddle, the horses did not untie the belt, along the river eastward, along the way successively defeated several Qinwang soldiers and horses, which laid the overall situation of the war to destroy the Song Dynasty, forcing the Empress Dowager Xie to surrender. For these veterans who have followed Boyan for many years, the Battle of Ezhou and the Jiangnan Attack represented the highest glory and glory in Rongma's half-life, so every time they were mentioned, there was a boiling urge in their blood.

"Hmm!" Holding his beard in his hands, he nodded in satisfaction. This is exactly what he hopes to achieve, no matter how the battle situation is stalemate, generals at all levels must have a winning mentality. If the generals' minds are confused before the battle is decided, then there will be no suspense in the whole battle.

"The last general is willing to follow Lord Boyan and create more brilliance!" Several rising stars in the army saw the veterans patting the boss's ass, and they were not far behind and stepped forward to say.

"Create brilliance again, that's a good point!" Boyan straightened his body on horseback, pointed to the highest mountain in the distance, and asked, "Do you believe that a few mounds in this mere can stop the old man's footsteps?" ”

Without waiting for the generals to answer, he himself answered, "The old man has been in a position for half his life, and every time he goes to a place, he is like a bamboo." Wouldn't it be boring to fight this kind of battle all your life? That halfway monk can't stick to it, just what I want, just what I want! ”

"The prime minister just used him to refine his soldiers!" The Fire One does not spend many years following Boyan, and knows his mind very well. After listening to what Boyan said, he immediately cheered.

The two old men who were over half a hundred years old blew and sang, and soon swept the shadow of defeat away from the hearts of the young generals. Although some generals did not believe in the theory that the fire man does not spend money on military training, seeing that the master was so confident, his depressed mood also became active. For a time, the autumn wind on the hillside was bleak, the war horses neighed, and the pride rushed straight to Xiaohan.

Bo Yan saw that his morale was stirred up by his words, and then he began to strike while the iron was hot, "Pass the order Gegen, lead the new annexed army to strengthen the offensive, day and night, this commander will hunt with that halfway monk within ten days!" ”

"Yes!" The herald responded and rushed down the hillside. The smoke and dust brought up by the horses' hooves were like a yellow dragon, rolling towards the camp of the newly annexed army.

"What a halfway monk!" Boyan stroked his beard and muttered to himself. The expression on his face showed seven points of appreciation and three points of disdain.

Zou Xun, the commander of the Broken Army, is indeed a halfway monk, although he has been a military squire, he is like most of the leading generals of the Song Dynasty in this era, and he is an authentic Wen Jinshi. The Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and this tradition was not reversed until the collapse of the country and the collapse of the family. After Zou Wei led the army, he won less and lost more, and the battle of Ganzhou was even more defeated, and the soldiers around him were almost lost, and it was all by luck that he escaped from the chaos.

After Wen Tianxiang Baizhangling training, Zou Xun, who had experienced countless defeats, began to transfer, and gradually turned from undefeated to defeated when facing the enemy, and finally defeated Dachun's 100,000 male soldiers in the first battle of Ganzhou. Even so, in the eyes of the Mongolian generals, he was still a half-and-a-half general who could not fight, and under the deliberate promotion of Boyan, the Mongolian soldiers unanimously believed that the Broken Army could defeat Dachun under the leadership of Zou Xun, half of which was due to luck, and the other half was caused by the fact that the elite soldiers of the Great Yuan Dynasty were all in the north to quell the chaos and had no time to look south. Once the army marches southward, led by a foolish general like Zou Wei, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Broken Army is, no matter how many bandits and bandits there are, it will be impossible to escape the fate of final destruction.

In order to hit the enemy's morale as much as possible, and also to provoke the captured army to go to war as soon as possible, Boyan also specially asked the Han staff in the army to compile Zou Xun's defeat in his life into Jiangxi slang songs, and taught the new attached army under his command to sing every day near Hualin Mountain, Feixia Mountain, and Fengxincheng, "If Meizhou is lost in the first war, the officers and men of the three armies will lose their courage." defeated Longyan again, and heard ghosts crying on the way back to the division. 100,000 banners went down to Hunan and Jiangxi, only to see the generals returning ......"

Many veterans of the Broken Army were so angry that they took the initiative to ask for battle, but Zou Wei just stood still. Later, even the people's army who came to help the war and the new annexed army just now learned this song and circulated it in the army in private. Zou Wei was not only annoyed when he heard this, but ordered someone to copy the entire lyrics in block letters, frame them, and hang them in his Chinese military tent.

"Lost Meizhou in the first battle, defeated Longyan again, and carried 100,000 banners to Hunan and Jiangxi ......" Among them, the responsibility for the failure of the battle of Meizhou and Longyan is not him, one Zou Xun's task was originally to deceive the enemy and lure the enemy, and the other time was because Wang Jiweng and Huang Quji, two commander-level figures, suddenly rebelled. But the battle of Ganzhou with Li Heng failed, but Zou Wei thought it was his own shame.

Because of this, he rejected the advice of the soldiers to attack or sneak up on the enemy. Except for some of the new annexed troops who came from Jingxiang, most of the Mongolian veterans who had experienced ten to twenty major battles were all Mongolian veterans who had experienced ten to twenty major battles, and their individual combat ability and coordination ability were not under the elite of the captive army. At present, although the morale of the civilian troops rushing from various places is high, they are not good at field warfare, and they are still less able to fight against the wind, and once the local situation is not properly handled, the entire defense line may collapse.

Jiangnan West Road has many mountains and few roads. Such terrain is most suitable for defending against danger, as long as a few key points are blocked, even if Boyan has no last resort, there is no room for him to exert himself in the mountains. Moreover, the Mongol army's best skill was to run long distances, block the main roads, and rely on high mountains and fortresses to fight him, so as to prevent the enemy from making a detour to attack his rear.

What's more, Zou believes that time is on his side. In the past few years, with the efforts of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Fujian and Liangguang have become more and more prosperous, and the national strength and popular support have been recovering little by little, while the national strength of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has become more and more declining. Boyan is an invincible commander, he has many brave soldiers under his command, but without stable rear support, the longer the battle drags on, the greater the possibility of defeat.

"Ninety-nine with a steel knife, kill all Hu Er before stopping, I am a good son of the Han family, don't make horses and cattle for Tartars......." Some veterans of the Broken Captivity Army were angry when they heard the slang songs sung by the new attached army under the mountain, and sang on their own.

"Ninety-nine steel knives in hand, kill all Hu Er before stopping......" Several nearby civilian armed forces sang in unison, although the words of this military song of the Broken Army handed down from Baizhang Ridge were coarse, but the tone was extremely passionate. Every word is full of unwillingness to be conquered and hatred of invaders.

After the military songs sounded all over the mountain, the soldiers of the People's Army teasingly asked the soldiers of the new annex army who sang slang songs at the bottom of the mountain: "Brothers, when will you change your ancestors and become Mongolian, do you have any sisters in your family, is it worth the money of a donkey?" ”

The Great Yuan Dynasty divided the people into four classes, and the Southern Song people had the lowest status because they surrendered the latest. In the eyes of the Mongolian nobles, those with low status have no self-esteem at all, and their family goods can be taken and robbed, and their wives and children are also killed when they want, and rape is raped if they want. Which woman's family is favored by the Mongolian lord, that is grace, not an insult.

A few words just poked at the sore spot of the soldiers of the new annex army, and the new annex army, who had been admitted to Mongolia with meritorious service in battle, could not bear the humiliation, and immediately greeted the mountain with artillery and crossbows. The officers and men of the People's Army and the Broken Army guarding the dangerous places on the mountain were also unambiguous, and immediately set up artillery to bombard the mountain. In a moment, the cannon roared, and the mountains and mountains were shrouded in gunsmoke.

After Li Guida surrendered, he brought basic artillery manufacturing knowledge to the Northern Yuan, and the hundreds of heavy copper cannons cast by Ahma Huaguang Treasury were re-refined by him, and after countless failures, he finally summed up a bronze artillery casting technique. The ductility of bronze is better than that of steel, the hardness is greater than that of brass, and the performance and type of the cast artillery are comparable to the technical standards of the Broken Army before Li Guida's surrender, but the cost of the cannon body and shells is much higher than that used by the Broken Army.

Boyan went south in a hurry, bringing only a few dozen field guns. Dealing with this kind of artillery battle with short shots and long shots, the Yuan army naturally did not take any advantage, and after a short fight, the sound of artillery under the mountain fell into thin air. The Broken Army on the hill was too far away to confirm the specific lethal effect of the artillery on the Yuan army, and slowly stopped counterattacking.

An intelligence-gathering staff officer quickly ran into Zou Xun's line and handed over several of the latest battle reports, "Report General, the directions of Daxiong Mountain, Badian Mountain, Huangyeling, and Tiger Leaping Gorge have been attacked to varying degrees today, and the main attack is the new annexed army, and the Mongolian army is supervising the battle in the rear, trying to fill our defense line with corpses!" General Zhang Huxiang, General Wang Dayan and General Zhu Liang beat the enemy army back, and the mountain brigade carried out a local counterattack at Huangyeling, crushing the attacking new annex army and eliminating a Mongolian army of 100 men who supervised the battle! ”

"Pretty fight!" Qin Yiyun cheered loudly beside him, picked up the corner flag, and neatly pinned it in the direction of Huangye Ridge. "If we send a detachment of troops and horses to protrude from Huangye Ridge and stir up behind Boyan's ass, the old guy will definitely be more anxious!"

"It's easy to get out, it's hard to come back. Unless it was General Simon Biao's cavalry brigade, it was possible to get rid of the enemy army. But General Ximen Biao and General Lin Qi were stationed in Yuanzhou, and the task of defense was also heavy. So your solution is good, but we don't have rice to cook! Zou Xun turned around and joked with a smile.

After killing Da Chun, he originally planned to send several civilian army generals who performed well in the battle to the command academy for further study, but before the generals could set off, Boyan called over. Therefore, Qin Yiyun and the others had no choice but to stay in the army, leading the troops to fight while learning the application of new weapons and new tactics from the staff officers of the Broken Army.

Qin Yiyun is familiar with military books, although he has little experience in battle, he still has the impulsiveness unique to young generals. But the mind is nimble and always sensitive to catch fleeting opportunities on the battlefield. Seeing that Zou Xun vetoed his suggestion to take the initiative to attack and harass the enemy's flank, he thought for a while, and said: "If you don't attack, then send some more people to other directions, Beiyuan has always used the new annex army as a meat shield for half a month to test around, except for Fengxincheng, not to any other place as the main direction of attack, it is estimated that what kind of tricks are you playing!" ”

"Grandma's, it's not bullying Lao Tzu and soldiers!" Zhang Tang, the commander of the First Division, scolded a foul word. With the current strength of the captivity army and the people's army, they can only protect themselves from danger. No matter how strong the firepower and how high the morale is, the initiative in the war is not in your hands. If it continues to be consumed like this, the Northern Yuan side is certainly exhausted, and the losses of the broken army are not small.

"How is the official road connecting Yunzhou, Xinchang, Zhangjiaji and Shizhai repaired, and what about the several tributaries of the Jinjiang River, can you use bamboo rafts to transport baggage and heavy supplies?" Zou Xun ignored everyone's comments about the military situation, and suddenly asked about people's livelihood.

Qin Yiyun's gaze swept over the sand table and map along Zou Xun's question. Behind the continuous dozen mountains in front of you, there are hidden villages and prefectures and counties such as Yunzhou, Xinchang, Zhangjiaji and Shizhai, if the official roads dug in the Tang Dynasty are repaired with stones and cement, a rapid troop transport line can be formed behind the mountains, no matter what point the Yuan army forms a breakthrough, the broken army can rush over as soon as possible and block the breakthrough.

Between the Ba Dai Mountains and the Daxiong Mountains, there is a river named Ruoyeshui, which is the main tributary of the Geumgang River. At this time of year, the river swells, and boats can be sailed against the current. The Jinjiang River flows into the Ganjiang River in Xinyi Town, and the two rivers waterway transports supplies back to the wounded, which is far more convenient than transporting them by land.

Zou Wei knew that the Broken Capture Army had repeatedly defeated the Yuan Army, mainly relying on its superiority in firearms and armor, rather than his own command ability. Therefore, he strives to maximize the advantages of his side in every battle. Since the advent of firearms on the battlefield, the pattern of warfare has quietly changed. In terms of comprehension of new tactics, the generals of the Broken Army were far superior to any famous generals in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"I asked the new commander of the Yunzhou prefect and the local garrison last night, and they said that the official road has not been repaired, but now it is possible to walk in a four-wheeled carriage. Most of the reefs in the water were blown up with gunpowder in clay jars, and a small part could not be blown up, and they were marked with cement and flagpoles. The old general Wu Xizheng replied loudly. He is the oldest in the army, and he handles the most things, and many things that Zou Xun can't take care of rely on his carefulness to make up for them.

"The old and weak people of Linjiang, Yuanzhou, and Longxing have been relocated to Ganzhou and Guangnan East Road under the organization of local officials, and those two places have been in war for many years, and enough land for ownership has been vacated for distribution. The new factories in Ganzhou and Jizhou can also be started, and the young people who build roads can go to Jilin and Jizhou to work after completing their tasks. The owner of the factory over there promised that those who had done their best for the country would be hired first! Without waiting for everyone to ask, Wu Xizao took the initiative to report.

Having learned the lesson of the past defeat that was out of control, this time the general of the captives prepared two lines of defense on the Jiangnan West Road. The first one is located on the top of the mountains of Daxiong, Badi, Hualin, and Yiyuan, with the mountains as a barrier and the small city of Fengxin as the center, forming a closed defense line.

If the battle situation is unexpected, the mountain brigade of the Broken Army will be responsible for the break, and all men and horses can withdraw to Jizhou from the two passages of water and land, and use Luoxiao Mountain, Yangshan, Zhongshan and part of the Ganjiang River as the second line of defense to deal with the Yuan army. The people between the two lines of defense quickly evacuated at the beginning of the battle, preventing Meng Yuan from having the opportunity to drive the people as meat shields and replenish supplies with the people's property.

In Yunzhou, Longxing, Yuanzhou and other places, there were subordinate activities of Lin Qi, Ximen Biao and others, and Dachun did not extinguish this fire of resistance several times, and the Mongolian generals sent were brutal and tyrannical, often killing people indiscriminately and taking credit. Therefore, the people in these places do not have any good impression of the Yuan army, and even some wealthy families are unwilling to stay and risk their lives. As soon as the relocation order was issued, the people immediately helped the old and the young to go south, and soon moved several state capitals into no man's land.

"This battle will be a long battle, and when you go back, talk to the generals of the People's Army and ask them not to be impatient. In the past, we were able to defeat Dachun quickly, because the Yuan army focused on the north at that time. Now that the other party is elite, we must deal with it with a spirit of 12 points. If this battle can be won, the entire Jiangnan will be under the sight. If you unfortunately lose......" Zou Xun's eyes fell on the map again, if the second line of defense was also broken through by Boyan, would he still have the face to continue to retreat?

The South Jiangxi Road connects Fujian and Liangguang, and once it is lost, the entire Yuan and Song Dynasty will return to three years ago. If you can drag down Boyan here and take advantage of the situation to seize Ezhou, you can go to the north to Lianghuai, and to the west you can take Liangjing, and the revival of the Great Song Dynasty is just around the corner.
