Chapter 189: A boring first battle

[NEW](.)

learned that Li Nan led the army to Yongzhou,. x

Zhang Fuhua, a native of Tianfu, is a Jinshi of Shenzong Yuanfengjian. It was originally built for the Jixian Palace, and later due to the dispute between the two parties of Yuanyou, it was relegated to Yongzhou, the most dangerous place in Lingnan.

Yongzhou is connected to Dali and Jiaozhi in the south, which belongs to the place where the tripartite forces meet, and the situation can be said to be extremely complicated.

After Zhang Fuhua came to Yongzhou to take office, he maintained the ambivalence of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty who not only looked down on the Nanban foreigners, but also feared them, and was extremely hostile to the internal servants and Miao tribes, and treated the Jiaozhi people extremely well when there were disputes, so he was unpopular with the people.

When Li Nan first came to Guangnan West Road, Zhang Fuhua not only did not go to Guizhou to greet him, but disobeyed the decree issued by him everywhere, so Li Nan sent Wang Hu to lead 500 bandits to attack Yongzhou, and finally captured Zhang Fuhua alive.

I don't know how Wang Hu and his subordinates cleaned up Zhang Fuhua, anyway, the letter of allegiance of Lord Zhizhou was sent to Li Nan's hands, and now he is also Li Nan's person.

Although Zhang Fuhua knew Li Nan's intentions, the relationship between the two should not be exposed, he pretended not to know and asked: "Dare to ask General Li, why did you bring troops to Yongzhou this time?" ”

Li Nan shouted at many officials and nearby people: "General Ben has been on Guangnan West Road for less than a year, but I heard that the Jiaozhi people have repeatedly invaded the territory of Yongzhou, plundered and killed the people of our Great Song Dynasty. As an official of the imperial court, it would not be a dereliction of duty if I failed to protect the safety of the people, so I led my troops to prepare to punish those damned Jiaozhi people! ”

When the people of all ethnic groups standing nearby heard Li Nan's words, they quickly told each other, and soon they all let out excited discussions.

In the past hundred years, these people living in Yongzhou, no matter what ethnic group, have been deeply affected by Jiaozhi, many people's relatives and friends have been killed or taken away as slaves, they have long hoped that someone can avenge them, but unfortunately the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty has repeatedly disappointed them.

In fact, Zhang Fuhua himself also hated the Jiaozhi people who often caused him trouble, but there were too few Song troops in Lingnan, and he really had no bottom in his heart.

Zhang Fuhua took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "General Li, the Jiaozhi people are very vicious, are you sure?" If it really angers them, it will bring disaster to the people of the state capitals! ”

After listening to Zhang Fuhua's words, Li Nan smiled, although this Zhizhou said it well, for the safety of the people, in fact, he was afraid that the Jiaozhi people would fight and lose his life.

Li Nan said indifferently: "Don't worry, you just need to manage Yongzhou City well, as for the Jiaozhi people, then leave it to me to clean up." ”

"The general is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

The courage of the people here is obviously much greater than that of Zhang Fuhua and others, and when they heard that Li Nan was really going to conquer the Jiaozhi people, they all shouted enthusiastically.

After resting outside the city of Yongzhou for a night, and refusing many people who wanted to join the army, Li Nan led the army to the south early the next morning, aiming directly at Guangyuan Prefecture.

The Lingnan region is mountainous and forested, and the road is difficult, which can be regarded as the first training for these soldiers.

The slave army was in front, the Dinghai army was in the middle, and the Zhennan army was behind, although Li Nan, who came from later generations, did not understand the art of war and had not experienced formal killing, but he also knew that the march would send scouts, so hundreds of servants who were good at turning over and crossing the mountains were scattered around the army.

Guangyuan Prefecture has been the land of the Song Dynasty for many years, and later in the battle of Fuliangjiang, after Guo Kui defeated the Jiaozhi people, this place was actually given to the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty by the Song Shenzong, I have to say that after such a victory, he also took the initiative to give up the territory, which really made Li Nan smack his tongue and couldn't understand.

Li Nanke, who came from later generations, no matter what the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi was, and what his thoughts were, in his eyes, the world was an ownerless thing, and those who were capable could live in it!

The 5,000 army was coming, and Li Hui, the Jiaozhi Prefecture Pastor who was guarding this place, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly gathered more than 30,000 Jiaozhi soldiers to prepare for the battle.

30,000 to 5,000, although the difference in the number of the two sides was a bit large, Li Nan still ordered the army to continue to advance, and finally came to the outside of Yuanping City in Guangyuan Prefecture.

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers and horses of both sides set up a position on the flat ground outside the city, and Li Nan and the generals stood on a high slope, looking at the Jiaozhi soldiers who were full of pits and valleys on the opposite side.

The other party did not defend in the city, but went out of the city to fight, Li Nan was still a little puzzled about this, but after seeing the low, simple and narrow Yuanping City not far away, he knew the reason.

Looking at the battle formations of the two sides, Li Nan asked, "Dorcott, your slave army is on the front line, can they withstand it?" ”

The tall black man pointed disdainfully into the distance and said, "These guys don't even have decent weapons in their hands, they just come up to die." ”

In fact, it is no wonder that Dorcott looks down on these cochin people, although the other party has 30,000 people, but the regular army with bamboo helmets on their heads, leather armor on their bodies, and swords and guns in their hands is only 3,000 people, and the rest of the soldiers are holding bamboo guns and bamboo rafts as weapons, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a rabble.

The army on Li Nan's side had been deployed, and standing at the forefront was a battle formation of giant shields and short swords composed of slave soldiers, behind were grenadiers with a large number of grenades on their backs, behind were sword and shield soldiers composed of servants of the Dinghai Navy, and finally the bow and crossbow troops of the Zhennan army.

A dull sound of bells and drums sounded on the opposite side, and tens of thousands of cross-toe soldiers in ragged clothes with strange characters tattooed on their bodies raised their bamboo guns and bamboo rows and began to charge......

Lu Zhishen, who had participated in the battle of Western Xia, looked at the other party's undisciplined attack method, and said with some concern: "Brother, is there any fraud on the part of the Jiaozhi people, so many infantry are stupidly rushing over, this is simply sending them to death!" ”

After Li Nan saw the battle of the Jiaozhi people, he was also suspicious, could it be that the other party was planning to deliberately attract his own attention, and then send someone to the rear to kill him to carry out the decapitation tactic?

However, the scouts he sent out did not send a warning signal, and besides, the hundreds of guards around him were all armed with AK rifles and pistols, and with their protection, he could completely ensure his safety.

Doubts are doubts, seeing that the distance is almost there, Li Nan signaled to Lin Chong beside him, and the crossbowmen of the Zhennan Army who got the signal began to shoot.

"Bouncing ......"

Thousands of archers fired arrows at the same time, and the black cloud-like group of arrows flew high and began to fall rapidly.

This was the first battle of Li Nan's army, so he tried his best to increase the lethality of his soldiers, such as the arrows he shot now are special three-edged arrows.

The first wave of arrows fell into the dense crowd of Jiaozhi, although they raised the bamboo raft in their hands to block, but under the attack of the three-edged arrows, the simple bamboo row was pierced like tissue paper, and blood splashed in the scream.

The infantry did not charge quickly, so the archers of the Zhennan army fired four rounds of foot, sweeping down a large number of Cochin soldiers like wheat harvesting.

Seeing that the enemy was about to rush to the front, Spartacus shouted and signaled the grenadiers to get ready, and the slave soldiers in the front row also raised their large shields, and the daggers were already unsheathed and waiting to drink blood, but... But the cochin soldiers turned around and ran.

Looking at the cochin man running back for his life, Spartacus, who was in charge of commanding the slave soldiers, was a little confused, he didn't understand what was going on.

Li Nan, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others, who were standing on the high slope in the rear, also stared blankly at the fleeing Jiaozhi soldiers.

Lu Zhishen looked at the deserters in Jiaozhi, and said in an unbelievable tone: "It's these guys who have repeatedly invaded the Song Realm to kill people and plunder? ”

"Shame!" Lin Chong stabbed the spear in his hand into the dirt and cursed, and he didn't know if he was scolding these Jiaozhi soldiers or the Lingnan officials who were responsible for resisting the Jiaozhi people before.

There was silence on the dirt slope, and Vero suddenly asked, "The enemy has entered the range of the bow and arrow again, do you want to release the arrow?" ”

Li Nan shook his head and said, "The number of arrows is limited, so don't waste bows and arrows on these people, let's take a look first." ”

After four rounds of arrow attacks, the Jiaozhi soldiers did not reach the front of Li Nanjun's formation, leaving two or three thousand corpses and fled.

The Cochin soldiers who fled back did not end well, because the elite of the Cochins, who were heavily armed and looked like regular troops, began to slash and slaughter the routs who fled in battle.

The frenzied killing played a role, and soon the Jiaozhi soldiers stabilized the rout,
