For three whole days, the Yuan army still had no signs of dispatching, and the spies of the bureau did not send back useful information, just when Zhao Yu was about to send a navy to a big parade along the canal, the scout cavalry suddenly came to report that a small group of Yuan army rangers were found in the northwest of the mausoleum area, because the distance between the two sides was too close, our scout cavalry fired first, killed and wounded five enemy soldiers on the spot, and then quickly broke away and came back to report. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Immediately after that, the sailor sentry ship patrolling the canal also found several small warships coming from the direction of Shaoxing, which seemed to be coming to snoop.

Zhao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and felt that the reflex arc of the commander of the Yuan army was too long, and it took so long to send troops to reconnoitre, but fortunately, they still came. Ni Liang reported that he had sent detectives to investigate again, and at the same time ordered the lookout posts at various commanding heights to strengthen the observation in the direction of Shaoxing, and the armies entered the alert; Zheng Yong also sent three dragon boats out of the Yuhe River to block the enemy ships and further ascertain the situation.

Shaoxing to the mausoleum area is only more than 30 miles away, the enemy scout appeared ten miles away, Zhao Yu judged that the enemy brigade is not too far away, and the strength is not too much, it is estimated that it is a thousand troops stationed in Shaoxing Mansion. He estimated that the enemy general had made a mistake in judgment and did not detect his own strength, thinking that a thousand-man army would be enough to deal with it; Second, out of prudence, only the vanguard troops were dispatched this time. But he thought that no matter what the situation was, he must first determine the situation before he could further decide how to fight.

Therefore, Zhao Yu felt that Ni Liang and Zheng Yong's handling measures were not improper, and this also showed that Ni Liang had gradually matured after years of experience and study and training in the new army training camp, and he was no longer the foolish girl who only knew how to follow him and obey his orders in everything. Now, after gradual readjustment from top to bottom, young officers have gradually grown up, and now they have become the most vigorous and energetic unit in the whole army. He can also gradually let go and not have to do everything himself.

Today, the burial ceremony of Rijong and his queen will be held, that is, the coffin will be reinstalled, and then moved into the Xuangong Palace, and the underground palace will be closed. Of course, Zhao Hao, as the successor or the descendants of future generations, must be present, and at the moment, seeing that Ni Liang has fully understood his strategic intentions, he does not have to interfere too much with their command, and the troops and materials owned by the protectors are sufficient, and they are fully prepared, even if there is a mistake in the first battle, it will not affect the overall situation.

In fact, there was nothing to do with Zhao Yu at the burial ceremony, the coffins of Li Zong and his wife had already been chopped by the tomb robbers, and the coffins were made according to the original situation. But the dragon robe could not be worn, so it could only be covered with bones. Then put the burial goods in turn, and then send the treasure book, he sealed the coffin one by one and moved it into the underground palace.

The Xuangong Palace is actually a rectangular stone room, with a heavy stone wall outside. Considering that the soil in the south of the Yangtze River is wet and the groundwater level is high, the outer wall is added to the second layer, and the two walls are filled with cement. In the stone wall, the outer coffin is placed first, after the coffin is moved, and after the burial object is put in again, the coffin is covered with a heavenly pan capsule net, and then covered with a cypress fang, and then closed with the original cypress wood. Finally, the entire Xuan Palace was closed with stone strips, and then the King Kong Wall was built.

Because it is the second burial, the whole ceremony is not very grand, but it is very cumbersome, and it is said that it is completely implemented in accordance with the old law of the Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum. And this ceremony is very special, the music here is continuous, the monks and Taoist priests chant excessively, and the paper ash is all over the sky, but the sound of guns and cannons over there is very intense. Zhao Yu thought that if this ancestor had a spirit at this moment, he didn't know how he would feel, whether he wanted to lift the coffin board.

If you say that this life is wonderful enough, Li Zong is not a prince, but only a relative of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family, he is the ninth grandson of Zhao Dezhao, the son of Zhao Kuangyin. After the death of his predecessor Ning Zong, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan abolished the crown prince Zhao Hong, and he was lucky to sit on the throne. But the first ten years of his succession to the throne were all under the coercion of the powerful minister Shi Miyuan, and he didn't care about government affairs at all, and he didn't start to govern until after Shi Miyuan's death.

At the beginning of the pro-government, Rijong also wanted to do a lot of business, and he was determined to prosper, and took reform measures such as deposing the Shi Party, personally promoting Taiwan, clarifying the administration of officials, and rectifying finances, but the wish was good, and the results were seen by everyone. In the later period, the government fell into the hands of Ding Daquan, Jia Nidao and other treacherous ministers, and the country declined rapidly. After the Mongols attacked Ezhou, Jia Rudao declared himself a vassal to Mongolia in his name, and completely ceded the land north of the Yangtze River to Mongolia.

And Li Zong's family life is also a mess, he married the daughter of Xie Daoqing and Jia Shi in his early years, and favored Jia because of Miss Jia's appearance. Later, because of the Empress Dowager Yang and the ministers, Xie Daoqing was appointed as the queen and in charge of the middle palace. Later, the Jia family died of illness, and he was favored by Yan Guifei, who interfered in the government and made a mess. And he is better at playing than Huizong, not only visiting the kiln, but also getting prostitutes to play in the palace. But in the end, there was only one son in this life, but the youngest son died early before he was full of age, and after his death, his nephew could only inherit the treasure.

But after the death of Emperor Lizong, he was not allowed to live in peace, and his nickname was to build the road and prepare for virtue, and the revival of the martyr Wen Renwu Shengming Anxiao Emperor, and the temple name was Li Zong. Originally, the five characters of "Jing", "Chun", "Cheng", "Yun" and "Li" were selected as the temple number, and finally positioned "Lizong", but some people said that "Lizong" was the same as the name proposed by Jin Aizong, and had to be renamed "Lizong", but the people thought that it was based on the reality of Lizong's advocating science, which made people misunderstand for so many years. And after only 20 years of death, he was dug up and exhumed, exposing his corpses in the wilderness, and he has lived for no one in this life.

"Little thief, let the Buddha go, otherwise you will be broken into pieces!" The rest of the work didn't need Zhao Hao to be present to watch, but when he passed through the Shinto, there was a scolding voice.

"This life is quite hard, and it's been tied up for three days and it's still scolding!" Zhao Yu turned his face to see that it was the gang of tomb robbers, although those people were put down, they were also tied to the tree, not only did they not eat or drink, but the soldiers and husbands in the past inevitably stepped forward to vent their anger, one by one, their noses were blue and swollen, and they were dying, Yang Lian Zhenjia was naturally beaten the most as the culprit, if it weren't for those blue eyes, it was really not easy to identify. But even so, that kid is still like a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, and he still has enough momentum to scold people.

"Did the thief hear it, the Great Khan's soldiers and horses have arrived, and if you release the Buddha, you can still keep your whole corpse!" Yang Lian Zhenjia saw Zhao Yu stop and said with a cruel smile.

"If you dare to insult Your Majesty again, cut off your tongue!" Chen Dun, as the little emperor's personal entourage, of course, couldn't ignore it, and stepped forward and slapped him twice, viciously and ruthlessly.

"You really don't pay attention to it, no one is allowed to slap anyone in the face in the future, lest they get to the Yama Palace, and they don't know each other." Zhao Yu hurriedly stopped.

"The Buddha is going to be reborn in bliss...... What did you just say? Yang Lian Zhenjia grinned, but suddenly thought of something.

"Don't be in a hurry, when I cut off your head, maybe you can still meet on Naihuangquan Road!" Zhao Hao said with a smile, not angry, and turned his head away.

"How is the Great Khan, how is the Great Khan......" This time Yang Lian Zhenjia was really anxious, and shouted like a mourner. He knew very well that he could be powerful in Jiangnan, and he dared to put no one in his eyes, which was the favor of Kublai Khan, the guard of honor, but he also offended many officials in Jiangnan, and he was hated by the prince Zhenjin. If the Great Khan really died, he would have no backer, and I don't know how few people are looking forward to his early death......

Zhao Yu said that he didn't care, but he couldn't rest assured. After leaving the mausoleum area, he went straight to the front, Chen Dun also knew that he couldn't stop it, so he could only lead a team of guards to follow closely, but he didn't get as he wished, and was stopped by Ni Liang as soon as he entered the fortified position, saying that Mr. had repeatedly explained that his majesty must not be allowed to get into danger, so he put on a posture of killing and refusing to let him take another step forward to stop the holy car. Zhao Yu knew the temperament of this 'strong seed', and knew that if he insisted on moving forward, Ni Liang would be able to carry him back, but he could only stop and choose a high ground to observe the situation at the front, and he also learned about the process of the battle from Ni Liang's mouth.

The enemy troops who came this time belonged to the Shangdu Wanhu of Hangzhou Wanhu Prefecture, and according to reconnaissance, the thousand-man team that came early in the morning was only the vanguard, and most of the follow-up troops came by land. Therefore, Ni Liang took advantage of the warning position set up at the mouth of the valley to launch a blockade to block the enemy by resisting step by step, preventing the enemy from discovering that there was fraud in it, and then not daring to enter the valley, and it was difficult to achieve the purpose of luring the enemy to go deep and gather and annihilate him. In the direction of the waterway, the enemy's attempts to conduct reconnaissance in depth were completely annihilated, and then the enemy troops deployed troops on both sides of the canal, and it seemed that their intention was to prevent our army from breaking through in the direction of Haikou, and there was no fierce battle at the moment.

In the direction of Taniguchi, the enemy forward launched several attacks, all of which were repulsed by our troops. Judging by the scale of the attack, it was only a tentative attack, and it only destroyed the obstacles set up at the front line, as if it was clearing the way for a large-scale offensive and looking for flaws in our army's defense, so as to concentrate forces and open a breakthrough. Our army, on the other hand, held its position strictly and did not take the initiative to launch a counteroffensive.

Zhao Yu listened and looked forward with a telescope. If the whole valley is like a small short bottle, the valley is like a bottle, and the mausoleum area is located at the bottom of the valley. The mountain pass was flanked by a valley sandwiched between them, and our first line of resistance was set fifty paces from the valley pass. In his opinion, this position was well chosen, and he could use the mountains on both sides to protect the two wings to prevent the enemy from outflanking in a roundabout way, and he could use the narrowest part to shorten the defensive line, and at the same time limit the deployment of the enemy's forces, so that our side could concentrate firepower to annihilate the enemy.

Also subject to the terrain restrictions, the mouth of the valley is sloping inward, the ground is sandy, and there are only streams on each side of the valley that are a foot deep and more than ten zhang wide, which is not enough to be an obstacle to limit the impact of enemy cavalry. In the defence were two commanders of the 3rd Brigade and an artillery battalion, who laid out two foothills fifty and thirty paces in front of the position, dug a trench in front of the fortifications, and constructed two fortifications with stones and sand to hold back the onslaught of the enemy cavalry. On the way to the main position, a total of three blocking lines were set up to resist the enemy's attack layer by layer.

Zhao Hao saw that there were less than 100 corpses of men and horses in front of the defensive line, and they were scattered sporadically, and there were still sixty or seventy steps away from the nearest position. It can be seen that Ni Liang is right, the enemy army did not launch a formed attack, but only tentatively attacked the rangers, and it is estimated that they were all killed and wounded under the muskets and thunderbolts, and the rapid-fire guns arranged in the rear may not have fired a single shot. Because the rangers were often in small groups of three or five, it was a waste to bombard them with artillery, so they generally used detachment-level muskets to fire together, or to attack the rangers who were harassing in close proximity with a single shot of thunderbolts.

With the sound ......of a horn, the Yuan army attacked again, only to see a cavalry army of about 100 horsemen rushing out of the enemy formation and quickly rushing towards their own position. Zhao Hao also turned his eyes to the battlefield at this time, he knew that this was a tactic used by the Mongolian cavalry to attack the enemy formation, and after constantly dispatching rangers to clear the obstacles in front of the enemy formation, he would use the cavalry of the brigade to attack the enemy formation, which was the first wave of attack groups of 100 people.

In the impression of the world, the Mongols conquered the world with fast horses and scimitars, but in fact, the reason why they were invincible in the world was by bows and arrows. It had the longest-range and most lethal combined bow at the time, making it easy for cavalry to use. Not only does this bow have a long range, but the arrows it shoots are lethal, and if equipped with sharp metal arrows, they can penetrate heavy armor.

The Mongols were known to be good at archery, and they could shoot arrows in all directions with ease, and when combined with their powerful horses, they could continuously attack the enemy from a long distance, while not giving the enemy a chance to fight back. Under this kind of attack, the enemy defending in array not only could not catch up, but also could not even escape, only as a target for arrows, often before the start of the assault by the Mongol soldiers with bows and arrows to kill most of the wounded, when the enemy suffered heavy losses they would engage in hand-to-hand combat. And at this time, no matter how strong the enemy's spirit and armor were, it was only a matter of time before it completely collapsed.

The unpleasant tactics were destined to break their heads in front of the Song army this time, because the opponent they faced today had a firearm with a longer range and greater lethality than the bow and crossbow. When the first Mongol army entered a distance of 300 paces, the rapid-fire guns arranged behind the fortifications opened fire first, and at this time the barrel was filled with flowering shells, which had a longer range and greater power than shotguns.

'Boom, boom, ......boom' A salvo of more than 20 shells exploded around the enemy horsemen, and sharp shrapnel flew in all directions, like a handful of flying into everything that stood in their way. The struck horse fell to the ground, and the knight fell with it. Falling from their horses in the charge is tantamount to death, and they have no time to dodge, and their companions who follow them have already rushed over, and the good ones are trampled to death, and the bad ones will be trampled by the hundred horses. But at this time, even those who dodged the first round of artillery bombardment had no way back, and could only continue to move forward, waiting for them to be baptized by a more dense projectile......
