The Yuan army was lined up in a dense queue, and was bombarded by a salvo from the Tang army's artillery, and suddenly there was a big mess and it was on the verge of collapse.

"Retreat slowly! Don't mess around! Don't mess around! ”

"Those who dare to escape, kill!"

Although the Han Army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was the official Yuan army sequence, all the military salaries and supplies were provided by the landlords and gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Except for the Mongolian Daru Huachi generals at the two levels of Wanhu and Qianhu, most of the middle- and lower-level officers were the sons and daughters of landlords and gentry.

The gentry were wealthy, and under the abundant money and food, the Han army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang was well-equipped and their morale was not low. After all, this army is not raised in vain, in addition to fighting for the Yuan Court, they also have to "defend the township", in fact, it is to suppress civil unrest and protect their property.

The Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Han armies were listed as armed, such as large counties with large populations, such as Qiantang County with 1,000 households, Renhe County with 1,000 households, and so on. Thousands of households are the children of the county's wealthy gentry.

And the ordinary sergeants are mostly the children of tenants under their control. These soldiers are relatively simple and honest (ignorant), and there is no national righteousness, the main family gives the military salary money and food for them to fight, they are grateful to Dade, and the military spirit and obedience will not be bad.

In any case, their life is better than that of the "field slaves" who farm, and this is all a gift from the Lord's family.

Moreover, the comrades-in-arms around him are all villagers in the township, and they are no strangers to each other, how can the cohesion be so bad? If anyone is afraid of death, isn't it a loss of their ancestors to return to their hometown?

As for what to fight for the Tartars and fight for the tigers, I'm sorry, they don't know, and they don't bother to know. They only know that they are paid as soldiers, and they are not hungry.

Therefore, the Han army was essentially a landlord regiment training arms, similar to the Hunan army in later generations. Obviously, such an army is not a rabble, and it is not weak because it is a puppet army.

Under the maintenance of the bullet pressure of the officers of the sons and daughters of the gentry, the traitor army, which was almost collapsed, quickly resumed its formation, and then retreated in an organized manner, widening the distance between it and the Tang army's warships.

Of course, the Yuan army did not really retreat, they just wanted to withdraw from the attack range of the Tang army's artillery. More than 6,000 casualties were not enough for them to really collapse.

At this time, we can see the characteristics of the regimental training armament. Of the more than 6,000 dead and wounded Yuan troops, about half were only wounded, wailing and wailing on the ground. And their robes, who were not injured, rushed over to lift them up and retreated together.

"Four or five, bear with it!"

"Sanba, you can't die, don't scream!"

There was no need for the generals to order, and the wounded were taken away by their robes.

It's too late, it's fast, but in fact, this scene is only two minutes.

At this time, the Tang army, while approaching the shore, nervously loaded the second ammunition, hoping to fire another salvo.

Li Luo stood on the deck of the Chang'an, watching the Yuan army's chaotic retreat, and quickly taking the initiative to take away the wounded, and couldn't help frowning.

Cui Xiuning said: "After we restore Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is a lot of pressure on public security, and it is difficult to quickly occupy other places. These traitor armies are not easy to deal with. ”

Li Luo sneered: "Gentleman? Since they have no national righteousness and are willing to be traitors for the sake of the tiger, we will suppress them all and distribute all their land to the people. ”

Cui Xiuning nodded, "That's all it can be." It's not impossible for them to cooperate with us, but we can't meet their conditions. ”

Li Luo knew what she meant. The reason why these gentry are loyal to the Yuan Court is because the Yuan Court gave them a lot of privileges. The powers of taxation, law and order, forced labor, and litigation are all in their hands, and they also enjoy privileges in their careers, economics, and laws.

There is no name of lord, but the reality of a lord.

Can Li Luo afford these? Even if he can afford it, how can he give it? The Song Dynasty treated scholars so favorably, claiming to share the world with scholars, but even Zhao Guan's family would not give it. Li Luo, the future generation, still needs to say?

Meng Yuan can afford it because the things are not Meng Yuan's in the first place, they are generous to others. And this is their rule. As long as the gentry have paid the required amount of tax.

As for the people at the bottom, the court will let you die.

When the Yuan army was slowly retreating, suddenly the hull of the Chang'an shook, and Li Luo and Cui Xiuning immediately covered their ears.

"Boom, boom, boom...... "Boom, boom, boom" reloaded thousands of large and small guns, and fired a second salvo.

In the billowing black smoke, thousands of large and small projectiles roared towards the retreating Yuan army. The iron pellet of ten catties is bigger than a fist, and the one catty of bullets is only the size of an egg.

Although the Yuan army withdrew dozens of zhang at this time, it was still within the strike range of the Tang army's artillery. However, due to the quick learning of the lesson of the Yuan army, the queue opened quite a bit, and this time there were less than two thousand casualties.

However, the psychological blow to the Yuan army was still heavy.

A ten-pound shell bombarded a war horse, not even counting the bombardment of people and horses, but continued to bombard forward, plowing a blood groove in the Yuan army. In the end, he jumped and killed and wounded three or four Yuan troops.

The power of this cannon killed and wounded seven or eight Yuan troops. Their fine armor is simply useless.

A cannonball that lost its kinetic energy landed next to Wanhu Sudaru Huachi Atali. The cannonball, which was stained with blood, had obviously killed someone, and it was steaming, dripping and spinning on the ground like a hot spinning top.

Rao is Atali is a bold and fierce general, and his scalp is numb when he sees this cannonball.

It's just a little bit like that, I'm going to see Changshengtian by myself.

Two rounds of artillery shelling killed and wounded 8,000 Yuan troops, and the loss rate was as high as 20%, but not even a single Tang army was killed, and the psychology of the Yuan army suddenly collapsed.

The sound of screaming and wailing suddenly exploded, and many people were stunned when they saw the flesh and blood and still steaming shells.

The rebels' firearms, too powerful.

They all retreated dozens of feet, and they could still be beaten.

They also have artillery, but they can only hit half a mile at most, and the power is far behind.

The Yuan army, which retreated at the end, could no longer bear to collapse because of the heaviest casualties. Thousands of people shouted and ran forward in a mess, not even caring for the wounded. Even the most elite Tanma Red Army also instigated the war horses to run.

Even if they didn't run, their horses would not be able to fight if they were so frightened.

Who knows how far the rebels' artillery can hit, don't run, wait to eat the cannons?

"Don't mess around!"

"Rebel gunpowder needs to be reloaded! Don't mess around! ”

At this time, the most resilient were the officers of the gentry, who wore iron armor and led their families, brandishing long knives and shouting hoarsely, restraining their subordinates from escaping.

In the end, the Han army was not completely chaotic, and there were not many people who fled, but they had lost their fighting spirit and retreated to the west in a mess.

Atali and the other three 10,000 households were relieved to see that the Han army had not fled.

"Withdraw to Lin'an City!"

"Back to the city!"

"Sugmaimat, you lead the cavalry to prevent the rebels from coming ashore to pursue!"

"Wow!"

The Yuan army still reflected the quality of elite soldiers, and while retreating to Lin'an City, they sent the remaining 8,000 cavalry to the palace.

As for preventing the landing of the Don Army, it is already impossible. For now, the only way to do this is to retreat to the city and rely on the city walls to wait for reinforcements from all over the world.

As soon as the Yuan army retreated, Li Luo immediately ordered the Tang army to take the opportunity to land.

A full hour later, the Tang Army's land division and Japanese military slaves, nearly 80,000 people landed. After the sailors had unloaded the grain and grass, they set sail and left, preparing to blockade the sea and search for the remnants of the warships of the Yuan army, along with all the merchant ships.

According to the plan, without the permission of the Tang Army, the sheet board could not go to the sea.

After the landing of the Don army, it was also dark. This place is still seven or eight miles away from Lin'an City, so Li Luo had to order to camp on the shore and prepare to attack Lin'an at dawn.

The firearms, stone cannons, bed crossbows and other weapons that the Yuan army did not have time to take away were all captured by the Tang army.

Under the military order, the officers and men of the Tang Army stripped off the armor of the fallen of the Yuan army, and then buried their bodies on the spot. And the corpses of the war horses were all disposed of as a meat supplement in the army.

The seriously wounded members of the Yuan army who were too late to take them away were all beheaded. Minor injuries can save a life.

These seriously injured people are not easy to manage, and it is a great burden to bring them, and Li Luo does not sympathize with them, so he simply disposes of them all.

In the Battle of Feioupu, the Tang army killed and wounded 8,000 Yuan troops at the cost of not suffering a single casualty, which can be described as a great victory.

However, this battle is not fair. It was not the first battle of the landing of the Tang army, because the Tang army was always on the river during the battle.

………………

The provincial Pingzhang Youxian, with a large number of officials, stood at the head of the city with his eyes open, looking at the direction of Feioupu. He hoped that the Evil Warrior and Attali and the others would bring him good news.

But when he saw the Yuan army brigade returning in a hurry, his face immediately turned pale.

Defeated.

Defeated.

And the losses are not small ... Are the rebels so difficult to deal with?

Also, why didn't you see the evil martyr? Don't...... You Xian was a little incredulous when he thought of this. Evil Delie is a cavalry with 10,000 cavalry, and a full 10,000 iron cavalry under his command, how can this be?

"Pingzhang official! The rebels have landed, and we have lost the battle, damn it! ”

Wanhu Suodaru Huachi Atali went up to the castle tower with an ugly face, pulled off his helmet, revealed his ugly hairstyle, and said viciously.

"What the hell is going on? Are the rebels so sharp? What did you guys do! You Xian glared at Attali angrily, "What about the evil martyr? Could it be that he died in battle? ”

Atali saw You Xian's anger, and he didn't care, he was a Mongolian, although You Xian was a Pingzhangtang, he was a Han Chinese, and he couldn't dispose of himself at will. Besides, this battle is not his fault.

"Pingzhang official, your evil martyr is dead. He died pitifully under the artillery of the rebels, and even his horse died. The artillery of the rebels was very powerful, they did not go ashore, and as soon as the countless artillery bombardments, we suffered a big loss. ”

Attali said with a dark face.

You Xian also said in Mongolian: "My Atali, your words make me feel as if I heard a warrior complain that the enemy's knife is too sharp. The rebels have artillery, don't we Dayuan warriors have it? ”

Attali said: "My Pingzhang official! If you had seen the rebels' artillery, you wouldn't have said that about me Atali! Our artillery is like a child's bow and a warrior's strong bow, and it cannot be compared at all! ”

You Xian looked at a Han soldier named Shi Yi in disbelief, and said in Chinese: "Tell me, the rebel artillery, what the hell is going on!" ”

Da Yuan's firearms are already very powerful, he doesn't believe that the firearms of Li Luo's rebels are so much more powerful than Da Yuan's.

How can I, Dayuan, lag behind others? Even firearms, no.

Shi Yi said with a wry smile: "The good sect knows that the rebel artillery is a mile or two apart, and it is still under one cannon, and the people who were shot are all broken, so it's not powerful." I didn't know it, and I lined up in a dense line to wait for the rebels to land, and just taught them to bombard them for two rounds, so I really didn't suffer a loss! ”

"The sons are quite tough, they haven't collapsed, and it's not bad. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape today. Also, in addition to the evil deeds, Wanhu Gu Qi also died, and two third-grade generals died. ”

You Xian was already forty-four out of seventy, and he was even older when he heard the words.

"Recruit young men and prepare to defend the city. Early tomorrow morning, Li Luo's rebels will come to attack the city. You Xian ordered worriedly.

The rebel artillery is so sharp, how can this city gate be blocked?

"Also, all the gates were fortified and blocked with boulders overnight! Let's do it..."

Zuo Cheng You Shixuan said: "Li Luo has been planning for several years, and it is difficult to keep his spies in the city, so we must search closely and be careful of the rebels' internal responses." This matter will be handled by the official himself! ”

You Shixuan is the famous You Xuanfu, that is, the head of the Yuan court's spies, who has been monitoring Jiangnan for many years. In Lin'an City, he also has a huge spy network.

However, what he didn't know was that compared with the professional intelligence agency of the Special Investigation Bureau, his post office system was too unprofessional, and it had long been infiltrated by the agents of the Tang State.

Even his spy network in Lin'an City was also infiltrated, and was even used by the agents of the Tang State.

Shi Yi said a little anxiously: "Zhongtang, the rebel army is strong, our army is small, and the reinforcements are not urgent, and I ask Zhongtang to give an order immediately to gather the township soldiers from nearby states and counties overnight." ”

The so-called township soldiers are the training of the gentry clans, not the affairs of the Yuan court, and they are considered private soldiers.

Originally, the Yuan court did not allow the Han gentry to raise private soldiers, nor did they allow them to hide weapons privately. However, due to the rise of anti-thieves in the south, this ban was temporarily relaxed. Although the gentry have only just begun to train the village soldiers, and the number of training in each household is not much, it adds up to a large number.

You Xian and others made a series of arrangements, which made them a little relieved. Because of the new defeat of the Yuan army and the great setback of the army, You Xian had to transfer all of them into the city to defend the city.

It is equivalent to giving everything outside the city to Li Luo's rebels.

For Lin'an City, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Even the people at the bottom have difficulty sleeping.

Then what kind of Tang army, tomorrow will attack the city!

In the middle of the night, in a thousand-household barracks of the Yuan army, two people were talking secretly.

"Liu Qianhu, what you will do tomorrow is nothing more than to order the stones of the city gate to be removed and the city gate to be opened. As long as you do this, not only will you be meritorious, but you will also be able to reunite with your wife and family. Got it? Under the light, a young man said in a gloomy tone.

Liu Qianhu is a middle-aged man, and he is one of the few people who have achieved a thousand households by virtue of his military exploits rather than his background, and he is not a son of a wealthy gentleman.

"Since I have taken refuge in you, my old Liu can only go all the way to the dark. But I want you to be the talker, and if I do this, you will give my wife back to me. Liu Qianhu said.

The young man laughed, "It's natural. You have really become a member of my Datang, how could my brother harm his family? If you cry in front of the king, I won't be able to bear it, brother. You must know that what I did was hidden from the king, and the king did not allow us to kidnap other people's families. ”

Liu Qianhu scolded in his heart: "Really? Then you're too despicable. After the Tang Dynasty, I must complain to Li Luo! ”

"Brother Qiao, my old Liu is hard-hearted. But the hundreds of households below will really obey orders? It's a big sin to open the city and surrender to the enemy. Liu Qianhu asked uneasily, although the other party asked him not to worry about this, he was still worried.

The young man surnamed Qiao sneered: "Those who are obedient can live, and their families are fine." Whoever disobeys, the whole family will die. Of course, there are really disobedient people, so one hundred households fell into the pit and drowned. ”

Liu Qianhu felt a chill in his heart and didn't want to speak.

This young man's name is Qiao Bu, he is the third batch of students of Cui Xiuning, he was assigned to the special team of the Special Investigation Bureau, and he is a captain under Zong Day, and it has been a year since he arrived in Lin'an.

This person is ruthless and despicable, he used threats and inducements, as well as kidnapping and assassination, to force many Yuan military attaches inside and outside Lin'an City to submit.

"I also want to tell you, even without you, I, Tang, can still take Lin'an City in one day. With tens of thousands of remnants in the city, how can you keep Lin'an? I did this only to make the siege of the city suffer fewer casualties. Hmph, when the city is over, there will be a lot of people who will lose their heads. ”

Job smiled grimly. He had already figured out the situation of the officials and gentry inside and outside Lin'an City, who must be killed, who can be killed or not, and who should not be killed, all of which are on his list.

When the time comes, the king will go to the city, and it will save a lot of trouble. As long as he submits the list to the king, he can directly kill people.

How simple.

…………

At night, suddenly a thousand cavalry of the Tang Army came to the city arrogantly, walked around the city, bent their bows and arrows, and shot a letter of encouragement into the city.

Soon, many people in the city saw the Tang Army's Zhengyuan inscription and threatening letter.

So many pieces of paper were shot into the city, and the officials couldn't hide it if they wanted to.

When You Xian and the others saw the text and the threatening letter, they were immediately trembling with anger.

This text... It's so ruthless, it's very instigating. Moreover, Li Wei claims to be a descendant of Li Tang, which is quite confusing.

It is conceivable that once this "Zhengyuan Text" is known to the whole world, how many people will be bewitched.

The court and the Great Khan, how angry they will be!

Thinking of the Great Khan's anger, You Xian and the others shuddered.

And even more odious is the intimidation of the war book.

Li Luo said in the letter that tomorrow the Tang army will come to the city and will not descend for half an hour. The family is enslaved.

If it falls, the worst can survive. If you're lucky, you can still have an official to do.

He also said that those who kill their superiors or colleagues and surrender will be rewarded heavily.

The officials were silent for a long time after reading the inscriptions and the threatening war letters.

"Come on, give an order to arrest the spies in the city, those who dare to demagogue, have bad intentions, and spread rumors, take it all, correct the law on the spot, and deter Xiaoxiao!"

You Xian's cloudy old eyes burst out with a fierce gaze, like an angry old wolf.

He didn't believe it, tens of thousands of horses couldn't hold Lin'an City for two days!

…………

In the early morning of the next day, the Tang army of the brigade pulled out the camp and drove to the city of Lin'andong.

You Xian and other officials landed in the city, and saw that the Tang army was like a forest, swords and guns were like snow, and there were even more than 10,000 cavalry, with a majestic momentum, a strict military column, a murderous spirit, and a three-mile array.

A high phoenix flag, a high Tang character flag, and a "Zhengyuan Metropolitan Governor Tang Guogong Li" are extremely eye-catching.

Seeing this, the officials of the Yuan Court gritted their teeth and were terrified.

You Xian saw Li Luo under the Tang Army not far away, and his old lungs hurt.

Li Luo, why are you rebelling? Da Khan and Da Yuan, treat you well!

You rebel and thief, everyone will be punished!

Li Luo sat on the big food BMW sent by Kublai Khan, looked at the city tower not far away, and said lightly: "You Xian old dog, resolutely do not surrender, give the order to attack the city." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the cavalry of the Yuan army brigade had not yet arrived to support, first try to use artillery as much as possible.

After that, when fighting the Yuan army with cavalry superiority in the field, artillery would not be as powerful as it is today.

The one responsible for directing the siege was Jiang Tu.

A large number of mules and horses came out of the large formation of the Tang army, and all the artillery was pulled out and lined up in front of the formation, a mile from the city wall. The cavalry of the Tang army was divided into two wings to prevent the cavalry of the Yuan army from attacking out of the city.

And the main force of the Yuan army in the city was also transferred to the defense of the eastern city. However, when the sergeants of the Yuan army saw the artillery under the city, they were immediately frightened.

In fact, it was the cavalry that cracked the artillery tactics of the Tang army. The artillery of the Tang army and the cavalry of the Yuan army were mutually restrained. But the problem is that there are only 8,000 cavalry in Lin'an City now, not as many as the cavalry of the Tang Army, how can they go out of the city to restrain the Tang army's artillery?

If the Yuan army had 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry, then the Tang army would not dare to use artillery so recklessly, because if it was not done well, it would be a big defeat, and it might lose a lot of artillery.

The firearms corps of the Tang Army, which had already been loaded with ammunition, had the gunners of each artillery ready to operate, and they had been practicing these artillery maneuvers for a long time, and they had long been extremely proficient, just waiting for an order.

The Tang army didn't even bother to use the horn and war drums, so they directly ordered the artillery to be fired.

Sixty 10-pound guns, 200 6-pound guns, 400 three-pound guns, and more 1-pound small cannons, all concentrated and aimed at an area under the city tower.

It turned out to be using so many artillery pieces to attack a city gate.

When the Yuan army on the city tower saw this scene, they couldn't help but retreat one after another, and no matter how much the officers pressed, they couldn't boost their military morale.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In the deafening and earth-shattering loud noise, the east tower of Lin'an City suddenly flew with stone chips, and the stone cannons at the head of the city, bed crossbows and other defensive ordnance were almost lost.

A large number of Yuan army defenders at the head of the city were not dead but wounded, and their corpses fell to the city like dumplings.

The strong and tall city wall shook the whole way, and in the cracking of the masonry, there was a "bang", and the entire city gate and building collapsed. The huge gate was also shattered by the bombardment, revealing the piles of stones behind it.

Although the city wall is still there, everyone understands that if it is bombarded like this a few times, the city wall will definitely collapse a lot.

Although You Xian and the others retreated far away and were not injured by the artillery, they saw the tragic situation at the head of the city, and their hearts were suddenly cold.

"It's... This..."

You Xian trembled, even if this old man was confident, he knew that it was impossible to hold Lin'an City. Not for half a day.

At this moment, suddenly there was chaos under the city, and a shout of killing broke out.

"What's going on! Something happened! "How did the old man not know that something was going on in the city?

A military attache rushed over, "Zhongtang, let's go, Liu Dahai's dog day is reversed!" He moved away from the stone mill at the gate of the city, and the rebels were about to enter the city! ”

What the?

You Xian and the others were shocked, "Quickly send troops to block it!" ”

The military general said: "The rebels are going to open fire again, and the soldiers of our army dare not move forward, and their morale has fallen!" ”

You Xian took a look, and sure enough, he saw the Yuan army retreating from the city, retreating like a tide, and it was those children of the gentry who also retreated, and at the same time heard a huge roar.

This is not to blame for the poor will to fight of the traitor army, who is replaced, brave such a dense shell to defend the city at the head of the city, and can not fight back, can only be beaten, will not be willing to defend again.

Liu Qianhu's subordinates moved away the stone mills piled up at the gate of the city, and there were not many Yuan troops to recapture them.

Because morale has been lost. Knowing that Lin'an City will definitely fall, who would be stupid to recapture the city gate?

Shouldn't you run away now?

At this time, Lin'an City was already in chaos, and the Yuan army retreated from the east city and went to the west and north of the city in a swarm.

You Xian and the others saw that the general trend was gone, so they had to flee with the retreating Yuan army under the protection of their own soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Qianhu welcomed the Tang army into the city.

At the same time, 15,000 Tang cavalry also bypassed the city and pursued to the west and north cities.

It was a full two hours before the city of Lin'an regained its calm.

The fleeing Yuan army was captured and killed more than 20,000 people, and only a few thousand cavalry of the Tanma Red Army escaped.

Most of the provincial officials were captured by the Tang cavalry. Including You Xian and You Shixuan and others.

When the order in the city stabilized, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning entered Lin'an City in a dignified manner and directly entered the Zhao Song Imperial Palace.

Soon, these captured high-ranking officials of the Yuan court were escorted to the palace of the Zhao and Song dynasties, waiting for Li Luo to dispose of them.

Ironically, half a day ago, they were the owners of this city. And after only half a day, they became prisoners of the city.

To the twenty-first year of the Yuan Dynasty and the sixteenth day of April in the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, Li Luo, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, captured Lin'an and restored the old capital of the Song Dynasty!

ps: In this battle, the Yuan army was frightened by the newly launched artillery. However, when the Yuan army learned about the firearms of the Tang army, the battle was not so easy to fight. Cavalry, in particular, was also a great threat to artillery. That's all for today, good night friends, and ask for a ticket at the end of the month! Everyone is the best book friend! Welcome to discuss the plot. Crab Crab!!
