Southern Xinjiang Fengyun [278] Fierce soldiers like Yuejiang 2

(Go to the net.)

The Ming and Vietnamese armies looked at each other across the river, and in the Ming army's formation, Li Dingguo, the commander-in-chief of the army, was reading a piece of information provided by Jinyiwei with Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu and others. 1, "On December 11, the ninth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song army crossed the border and marched towards Jiaozhou City, the capital of the Li Dynasty. ”

Li Dingguo read a historical document about the war between the Northern Song Dynasty and Annan during the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty: in the ninth year of the Northern Song Dynasty's Xining, the Northern Song Dynasty's Southern Expeditionary Army entered the territory of Jiaozhi, and the first battle with the Li Dynasty army was the Battle of Duli Pass in early January 1077. The pass was a fortified point for the Li Dynasty's army. Guo Kui sent the cavalry general Zhang Shiju to attack this military stronghold of the enemy. The Cochin people refused to fight with war elephants. The Song army used powerful bows and crossbows to shoot at these war elephants and enemies, and used broadswords to cut off the noses of these war elephants. Some of these elephants, some of whom had been shot, and some of whom had their noses chopped off, turned around and ran back to their own troops. The Song army took the opportunity to attack and defeated the enemy. The Song army not only occupied the Duli Pass, but also took advantage of the victory to attack the county.

The Song army arrived at the Fuliang River (now the Red River) on December 21, the two armies fought a decisive battle with more than 400 Li army warships blocking the waterway in the south of the Yangtze River, the Song army could not cross, Guo Kui and Zhao Du sent troops to cut down the wood to make a stone machine to attack and according to Yanda's suggestion, secretly sent the army to set up an ambush in the mountains, gradually reduced the troops, showed weakness and lured the enemy Li Changjie in the plan, poured tens of thousands of people to cross the river to attack, the Song army ambushed the troops, the foot and cavalry attacked, taking advantage of the time when its sails were broken, selected elite soldiers to take a raft to attack, defeated the Jiaozhi army, killed thousands of Li Chao Hongzhen Prince and Zhaowen Prince died in battle, Zuo Lang agreed with this theory, both the Chinese historical books and the General Compendium of the History of the King James and the Yue Dynasty

"Ruyue River, also known as Ruyue Crossing~!" Li Dingguo's eyes were fixed here

"Ruyue River?" Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu and others also came over, "Isn't the place where we are now like the Moon River?" ”

Li Dingguo hurriedly read aloud: "When the Song army first arrived at Ruyue River, it was attacked by Li Changjie and lost more than 1,000 people, but the historical materials about this battle can only be found in Vietnamese historical books, such as the Complete Book of Dayue Historical Records and the General Supervision Compendium of the King James Yue History, and there is no relevant record in Chinese historical books. ”

Ai Nengqi urged, "Second brother, read it quickly." ”

Li Dingguo shook his head helplessly, "No." ”

"None?" Liu Wenxiu was disappointed

Li Dingguo said: "But the course of the Battle of Fuliangjiang was described in detail at that time. ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "But we are now in Ruyuejiang. ”

Ainengqi said: "That may not be, if the battle of Ruyuejiang is a decisive battle, and the Annan people win, they will definitely write about it." Such a small number shows that the battle of Ruyuejiang is only a small battle for the forward, but the highlight is the battle of Fuliangjiang. ”

"Hmm!" Li Dingguo continued: "On the south bank of the Fuliang River, the Li Dynasty of the Annan Army anchored more than 400 warships, making the Song army "unable to help and fight". In the case of nothing to do, the Song army planned to build a pontoon bridge in the middle of the river to advance the army. However, the men in charge of the vanguard could not wait, so they first got a raft from the north bank, crossed the river with 500 soldiers, and cut down and burned the bamboo fortress of the Li Dynasty's troops, but could not find the enemy. After the 500 people landed, they sailed back to the north shore to prepare for the rescue of the troops. Unexpectedly, after the raft left the south bank, the enemy's army actually met from all sides and captured and killed the Song soldiers, who were cut off from their support, outnumbered, and fell into a serious predicament, many of them were embraced into the river by the enemy, and the rest were either dead or fled, and all of them were destroyed. In addition, a unit led by Miao Lu was stationed at Ruyuedu, sixty miles west of Guo Kui's camp. At this time, Li Chao also guided them to take a shortcut, crossing the Fuliang River and approaching Jiaozhou City. But Fang was advancing, and was immediately chased back by Guo Kui. In order not to make them repeat the mistakes of that vanguard army. After suffering this defeat, Yan Da, the head of Ma Bujun, thought that he should turn defeat into victory. He also believed that the art of war would inflict on men but not on men, and that if this defeat was used as a sign of weakness, it would certainly be possible to induce the enemy to come to the north shore to meet the battle. After the Song army made some illusions of cowardice and fear, the enemy army was determined to fight. Before going to war, the enemy knew that the naval ships sent by the Northern Song Dynasty had been intercepted in the port of Dongjing and had failed to sail into the Fuliang River, but they deliberately sent some spies to try to deceive the Song army by saying that the warships led by the Northern Song Dynasty naval generals He Bin and Yang Congxian were about to arrive to join the army. The purpose of this was to make the Song army relax its war preparedness, and also to make the Song army mistake the Li Dynasty warships that were going up the river for the Song army. Immediately afterwards, the Li Dynasty army dispatched tens of thousands of people to plan to go north to meet the Song army. After the front army of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Expeditionary Army was defeated by the enemy again in the engagement, Guo Kui hurriedly led his own army into the battle, and Yan Da also led the army to follow, which slightly repelled the enemy army. Subsequently, the cavalry generals Zhang Shiju and Wang Shu also led the cavalry to participate in the battle, and the ambushes set up everywhere were also dispatched together, and finally the enemy army was defeated. The enemy soldiers were trapped in the river and the enemy Zuo Lang general Nguyen Gen was captured by the Song army. ”

After thinking for a while, Ainengqi said: "After looking at the deeds of these predecessors, I think that the reason why the Song army did not win a complete victory was because the navy army was not able to enter the Fuliang River in time, so that the forward army fought alone, and the rear army could only be anxious across the river. ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "Our army's naval division is led by Shi Lang, a sea bolt, and the ship is strong and the artillery is sharp, so it should not repeat the mistakes of the Song army." ”

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, our naval ships are huge, and they may not be able to enter the hinterland of the Fuliang River." I have an idea that I can follow Liu Yu back then, cross the Ruyue River with elite soldiers, and then set up a moon formation on the beachhead. After finding a foothold first, he crossed the river with a large army. ”

Ainengqiqi said: "But isn't the Moon Array used by Liu Yu to deal with the northern cavalry?" ”

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "The use of soldiers cannot be rigid, although the original intention of the Moon Formation is to use it to fight against the cavalry in the north, but it is the same to set up a position on the beachhead, hugging the river at both ends, and using the river bank as the moon string." Liu Yu used a big crossbow at that time, and the muskets and artillery we have now are far more powerful than the big crossbow, and the enemy army we are facing is not a torrent of iron horses, as long as it is used correctly, even without the assistance of the navy, it can still be done. ”

"Artillery Battalion...... Get ready! ”

Another hurried sound of horses' hooves galloped in front of the artillery camp, and one hundred and twenty gunners hurried forward, pushing forty twelve-pounder guns to the front, the light of the twisters flashed, and forty torches had been ignited, and when Wang Pu gave the order, the gunners would not hesitate to ignite the fuses on the barrels with their torches.

"Artillery Battalion...... Fire! ”

This time, no more heralds rode their horses in front of the artillery camp, only the forty small flags guarding the side of the artillery carriage waved their swords at the same time. The gunner quickly ignited the fuse on the breech with his torch, and then galloped ten paces away, squatting on the ground with his hands over his ears.

"Boom, Boom, Boom......" The lead emitted green smoke and quickly ignited into the chamber of the cannon.

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

Forty cannons roared almost simultaneously, and dazzling fireballs whistled out of their muzzles, and wrought-iron cannon balls flew out of their chambers.

The strikers of the Annan Army on the other side of the Ruyue River were nervously clustered together, although the soil on the ground of the river beach was relatively soft, and the damage of the shells would not be too large, as long as they dodged in time, there would be no major problems. But it's easier said than done, and to dodge the whistling cannonballs can really be said to be between lightning and fire

After the whistling sound of the Ming army's artillery came closer, these Annan soldiers were immediately dumbfounded, the opponent's artillery could hit so far. As long as the people near the landing point ran away, the scene suddenly became chaotic, and everyone was in a mess, pushing each other. As a result, none of the forty wrought iron cannon balls missed, achieving the best killing effect, and after the flesh and blood flew sideways, it was a terrible scream.

The Annam army also had artillery, but it was an old-fashioned cannon modeled after the Netherlands, and it was listed at the back of the battle, mainly for the purpose of bombarding the Ming army when it was waiting for the Ming army to cross the river.

Li Meteorite shouted: "Quickly pull the cannon up~ Quickly pull the cannon up." ”

The artillery of the Annam Army dragged up six old-fashioned cannons under the cheering of a few Dutch red hairs, but before they could reach the front of the position, the second round of artillery bombardment of the Ming army began. Compared with direct killing, the terrifying scene of the earth shaking when forty cannons were fired at the same time was more deterrent to the Annan soldiers, many of whom were still farmers in the fields not long ago, or those who were weaker than them who were accustomed to abusing Champa and Zhenla, and many of them had never even been to the ground dozens of miles away. On weekdays, they know about farming and giving birth, when have they ever seen such a terrible ghost?

Boom, boom, boom

It was another wave of shaking. There was another earth-shattering bang. In less than a moment's time, forty solid iron bullets ploughed through the dense formation of the Annan soldiers with a terrible roar, and it was a terrible scene of flesh and blood flying, broken limbs and stumps dancing wildly, and the Annan soldiers once again paid thousands of casualties!

A cannonball landed not far in front of Li Meteorite's horse, and the flying rubble and mud startled Li Meteorite's war horse, and the war horse neighed and raised its front hooves, throwing Li Meteorite down heavily

"Fuck it!" Li Meteorite inherited some of the courage of his ancestor Li Changjie, he patted off the dirt on his body, found a new war horse to ride, and shouted loudly to command the artillery to fire back at the Ming army

However, the range of the artillery of the Annan army was not as good as that of the Ming army, and the Ming army's organ guns also came to the vicinity of the river beach under the cover of the artillery. As a result, the artillery of the Annan Army only dared to fire at the Ming army from a distance, and as a result, most of the shells fell in the Ruyue River.

At this time, Ainengqi had already taken off his shirt, and was about to launch a steel knife into the water to cross the river on a raft with three thousand elite soldiers who were good at water. Seeing that most of the shells of the artillery of the Annan Army fell into the water, he said to Li Dingguo: "Second brother, the shells of the enemy's artillery are mostly in the water, which is not conducive to our army's crossing of the river!" ”

Li Dingguo also found out about this situation, so he immediately ordered the artillery to carry out extended fire, and the shells fell mercilessly on the positions of the Annan army. The artillery of the Annan Army, commanded by the Dutch, was shattered, and the few old cannons were destroyed.

"Crossing the river." As soon as Ainengqi gave the order, hundreds of rafts were pushed into the water together, and the three thousand Ming troops rowed hard to swim to the opposite bank. Since the Ming army controlled the riverbank, the vanguard led by Ai Nengqi soon went to the other side of the Ruyue River, and immediately put up wooden signs as a rejection horse.

"Drive the North Kou down the river." Li Meteorite commanded the Annan infantry to launch a fierce attack on the beachhead that the Ming army had just established, "as long as they mix with the infantry of the Northern Kou, their artillery will be gone." ”
