Chapter 281: Boyan's Raid
Zhangpu in southern Fujian, Liangshan Daying.
This is where the Song Jundong camp is located, echoing with the western camp of Tonggu Mountain, and is controlled by Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, Chen Zhi, Mrs. Xu, etc. Wen Tianxiang is the general leader of southern Fujian political affairs, and Chen Zhifu is the assistant; Zhang Shijie was in charge of the military, and Mrs. Xu assisted him. The two ministers of civil and military affairs showed their strengths and had the help of their right-hand men, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people, firmly guarding the sea gateway of the Song army, ensuring the safety of the Song army's sea logistics and transportation and the retreat of the army, and rejecting tens of thousands of strong enemies outside Zhangpu City, which played an extremely key role in the final victory of the decisive battle between the main force of the Western Battalion and the Yuan army.
When the Longque Army of Tonggu Mountain inflicted heavy losses on the Yuan army with guns, the Song army of the Liangshan camp was also under the command of Zhang Shijie, Mrs. Xu and a group of generals of the She army in southern Fujian, repelled the third attack of the Yuan army's fierce general Li Heng.
That's right, it was Li Heng and the five thousand horses he led by the Red Army.
At the beginning of the decisive battle between the Song and Yuan armies, Boyan sent Li Heng and Wanzhidu to lead 5,000 elite cavalry each to attack the rear of the Song army in a big detour. After more than half a month of long-distance attacks, tens of thousands of troops and cavalry were like bamboos, successively breaking through the Song army's just regained Shaozhou, Yingdefu, Qingyuan and other state capitals that had not been consolidated in time, and rushed straight to Guangzhou, defeating Su Liuyi, Su Jingzhan and his sons, the governor of Guangnan, with strong forces, and cutting off the Song army's land grain route, completing the first stage of the expedition delivered by Boyan.
Subsequently, Li Heng and Wanzhi did not stay too long, and hurriedly supported a pro-Yuan Guangzhou envoy to sit in the state city, contain the remnants of the Su father and son who retreated to Xiangshan, and each led nearly 10,000 fine horses to quickly roll back to the north without stopping, and carried out the second phase of Boyan's task - to jointly attack the Southern Fujian and Southern Song army.
Li Heng and Wanzhi are all fierce generals of the Yuan army, and there are nearly 10,000 elite cavalry under their command, except for the Dragon Bird Army, there are almost no opponents. Nearly 10,000 iron horsemen swept along the way like a tornado, how could the repeatedly destroyed and dilapidated city walls of Quang Nam Zhuzhou County withstand it? It was almost the speed of a city in a few days, and in just half a month, it finally reached the border of Fujian and Guangzhou, under the city of Haiyang in Chaozhou, Chen Bing.
Zhang Shijie, who was guarding southern Fujian, saw that the enemy was strong, and wrote to Zhao Hunt, requesting to abandon Chaozhou, shrink his troops, and build a camp in Liangshan to reject Li Heng and Wanzhidu's army.
Although the Han and She armies commanded by Zhang Shijie and Mrs. Xu were more than 100,000, they were basically second-line troops, with weak combat strength and many auxiliary services, and the number of soldiers in the more than 100,000 people was only 30,000 or 40,000. Only by relying on the strong defense of the walled city can we give full play to the strengths of the infantry and contain the iron cavalry of the Yuan army - that's right, it only needs to contain the elite cavalry of the Yuan army, so that it cannot achieve the strategic goal of a joint attack, which is victory.
Zhao Lie quickly issued an order to grant Zhang Shijie's request, cede Chaozhou, and shrink his troops to the Liangshan camp. After the Yuan army captured an empty city, it did not stop long, and quickly advanced to the north, and Chen soldiers built a camp and built a village under the Jiuhou Mountain north of Chaozhou, south of Zhangpu, and dozens of miles away from Liangshan, and the Song army of the Liangshan camp was separated by a Zhangjiang River, far away.
During this period of time, Zhang Shijie, a veteran general of the land war and a famous cavalry general, has done a good job, repeatedly repelling the attacks of Li Heng and Wanzhedu, and defending the Liangshan camp as solid as a drip. Even at the critical juncture of a fierce offensive and defensive battle in early August, regardless of the guards and obstructions, he personally used his bow to go into battle, and the arrows were wounded. After this battle, for ten days, there was no end to the active figure of the all, only Li Heng led the army to fight alone, the more urgent the offensive, the more angry and corrupt it was, it could not help but make people think differently.
It was rumored in the Song army that the "Badulu" of Meng Yuan was severely injured by the deputy marshal, and he suffered an arrow wound, and he was not far from death or simply died. Even Wen Tianxiang wanted to show credit for Zhang Shijie, but Zhang Shijie was old and serious, and the news was unconfirmed and not credible.
Until mid-August, the old and strong Zhang Shijie faintly felt that Li Heng's fierce offensive seemed to be a little wrong with the intuition of a commander...... It seems to smell like trying to cover the obstacles. So she asked Mrs. Xu to personally order more than 100 elite She soldiers and attack the right camp of the Yuan army where they were stationed after the night attack.
These She soldiers are all Mrs. Xu's personal soldiers, all of them are brave and brave, and they are good at night battles. Originally, I just wanted to spy on the news, but I didn't expect to easily break into the right camp of the Yuan army, and kill all the way to the Chinese army where the end was located - until this time, I found out that the seat of the end has long been replaced, and the horses in the camp are actually all mules, none of the cavalry, none of the Mongols are gone, and all the people fighting with them are infantry, the infantry of the newly annexed army!
The finisher and his 5,000 elite horsemen are all gone!
When the news came back to the Liangshan camp, Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang were shocked.
Where have all the finishers and his 5,000 horsemen gone?
Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang made eye contact, and they both saw a touch of panic in each other's eyes.
……
Tonggu Mountain, the Song Lord is stationed in the palace.
The generals of the Minnan Army and the Guangnan Army, such as Chen Hangyan, Chen Guilong, Huang Hua, Luo Bantian, Li Zifa and others were all surprised. They entered the palace for a banquet this time to celebrate the victory, after three rounds of wine, the emperor lightly high-fived, and dozens of soldiers carried large boxes of fish into the room. The box opened, revealing a fully restored, shiny heavy armor in front of him.
The voice of Zhao Hunt, the lord of the Song Dynasty, echoed in the main hall: "This time we fought fiercely with the Yuan Tartars, attacked the enemy, and defeated the strong enemy. The results of the battle the day before yesterday have been counted, and the specific rewards will be communicated to each battalion in the near future. Today's banquet of all the kings, are meritorious ministers, should be rewarded, then this battle captured the repair of the iron floating map heavy armor 328 bodies, Fujian, Guangnan troops each take half of it, bento is the color of today's banquet. ”
Chen Hangyan, Li Zifa and other generals of southern Fujian and Guangnan were surprised and ashamed. Although they all participated in the decisive battle in western Fujian, they were waving their flags and shouting to help the individual from beginning to end, and they were shocked to watch the guns of the Dragon Bird Army, but they did not fire a single arrow. There is definitely no credit, hard work - if exposure to the scorching sun counts, it is a bit of hard work.
I didn't think that I could get such a generous reward like this, this is a lot of iron floating heavy armor, a good thing that money can't buy.
The generals of Min Guang sang in unison with gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness." At the same time, I secretly hated in my heart, if the Yuan army came to ask for wildfire again, this time I would have to fight no matter what, and I wouldn't be a spectator again......
God seemed to hear the voices of the generals of Fujian and Guangzhou, and there were sudden hurried footsteps and a long report outside the hall: "Report - the Yuan army invites battle!" ”
On August 23, half a month after the Battle of Western Fujian, the Yuan army launched another attack on the Song army, throwing more than 30,000 troops, all of which were newly annexed troops. The generals of the Min and Guang departments of the Song army strongly asked for war, and the Song lord bowed down. Subsequently, a part of the Longque Army was escorted, and the two armies of Fujian and Guangzhou totaled 20,000 horses to meet the Yuan army.
The Yuan army had many soldiers, and the Song army was sharp, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.
When the battle was in full swing, the south gate of the Yuan army's camp opened, pouring out a large number of men and horses, with no less than 20,000 troops, and the Song army's Longque Army immediately went out to meet the enemy.
However, in the face of the fierce bullets of the Dragon Bird Army, the Yuan army did not know whether to live or reinforce 30,000 horses. On the entire battlefield, the Yuan army has invested 80,000 troops, except for the Yuan army commander Boyan did not appear, its scale has been close to the battle of western Fujian.
Although I can't understand the Yuan army's refueling tactics, the so-called "soldiers come to block, water comes to flood", the Song army also bet on all the dragon and bird army, ready to let the Yuan army taste the taste of artillery bombardment and infantry rush again.
The commander of the Yuan army was the deputy marshal of the capital, and the commander of the Song army was the deputy marshal Jiang Fenglie, and the deputy was the deputy.
And the main masters of the two armies: Zhao Lie, the lord of the Song Dynasty, and Prime Minister Boyan, are both in their own camps, pondering each other's backs.
When night fell, the two armies were still fighting fiercely, and the Yuan army did not retreat, and the losses were heavy, even worse than the battle of western Fujian. The enemy troops who were beaten so badly did not retreat, and the Song army, which was fighting well, had no reason to collect their troops and return to the camp.
In front of the viewing platform of the Tonggu Mountain Palace, Zhao Lie, who had not put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand for a moment, had a feeling that once he or Boyan appeared on the battlefield, it would be the time to distinguish the winner and loser - it's just that what happened to Boyan launching this big war? Although the Yuan army is numerous, it has been pressed and beaten by the Song army, and I don't see that the Yuan army has any chance of winning? With Boyan's wisdom, he shouldn't have taken the initiative to launch such an uncertain battle.
Although everything seems to be in favor of the Song army, it is not a good sign that he can't understand and can't see through the plans of the enemy commander.
Zhao Lie faintly felt that he seemed to have overlooked something...... It wasn't until Ding Xiaoqi ran to report with a panicked and out of breath that a cavalry of the Yuan army suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, with thousands of men and horses, cutting off the passage between Tonggu Mountain and Xidaying, Zhao Lie finally understood what he had overlooked, and finally understood why Boyan launched this "no chance of winning" battle......
