Chapter 291: Bombardment Counterattack

The battle of western Fujian in the summer and autumn of the first year of Xingyan was a watershed between the Song and Yuan dynasties.

At the beginning of the war, the Yuan army suppressed and weakened the Song army with its absolute superiority, but when the Song army's hole card dragon and bird army made its debut, it counterattacked fiercely, and the Yuan army was defeated. Boyan used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to lead out the main force of the Song army, and then secretly crossed Chencang with strange soldiers to surround Tonggu Mountain. If it succeeds, no matter how brilliant the results of the Song army have been before, it will eventually be defeated, and it will even be beaten back to its original form - it is not difficult to imagine what the Great Song Dynasty will be like once it loses a male lord like Zhao Lie.

The final outcome of the war was finally determined on August 24. It was a battle, the Yuan army general Wanzhedu, Arslen led 4,500 cavalry to surround Tonggu Mountain, a bloody battle in one night, lost 2,000 soldiers, and the complete ones were not able to sneak attack but were beaten into blood by Zhao Hunt himself, Alslen was burned into charcoal, and the rest of the Mongolian soldiers were scattered.

At dawn, Jiang Fenglie, Shi Yang and other main forces of the Chinese army waved their divisions back, biting the Mongolian cavalry that had fled for a while, and beheading hundreds of ranks. In the end, only a few hundred Mongol cavalry fled back to the shore of the Korean River and escaped by boat.

After receiving the news of the failure of the attack, Boyan saw that he could not do anything and finally admitted defeat. A few days later, he withdrew his troops and prepared to return to Ganzhou, losing Fujian to the Song army.

However, just as the Boyan army was about to stop and was about to pull out the camp, four large transport ships suddenly appeared on the surface of the Tingjiang River. Although these transport ships from the east aroused the vigilance of the Yuan army, they did not take it too seriously, after all, the transport ships were not warships, they could only transport troops, grain and military funds, lacked the ability to strike, and even barely protected themselves.

However, the next moment, when the four transport ships pulled the shield of one side of the hull from both sides, revealing the black hole of the gun, from Boyan down, tens of thousands of troops were stunned.

The gunboats that first appeared in this era were not specially made by the Song army, but used the troop carriers when they were all attacked, and then after several days of emergency modifications, the guns were opened on the side of the ship, the non-retreat slides were installed in the hold, and many partitions were removed to serve as ammunition rooms, and then the dragon roar cannon was carried into the cabin.

Everything was in a hurry, without considering the bearing capacity of the hull, not even caring about the damage to the ship, and holding the premise of one-time use, this epoch-making gunboat appeared silently in front of the Yuan army camp. In order to prevent the Song army from taking the opportunity to cross the river, Boyan not only ordered the dismantling of the pontoon bridge on the river, but also gathered tens of thousands of troops on the river bank to deter and warn. And these tens of thousands of troops are within the range of gunboats.

After a range-measuring shelling, the drums of war were beaten, and eight guns on four gunboats fired in unison. In this earth-shattering roar, a full-scale attack on the blood-stained Tingjiang River and the great harvest of 100,000 enemies was launched.

Since the appearance of the dragon roar cannon on the battlefield, the Yuan army has been completely abused by this kind of terrifying killing weapon that is almost force majeure, and it has been abused to death and has no way, and has long suffered from "cannonphobia". So much so that as soon as the cannon sounded, the whole army panicked, the iron ball swept away, and all the military discipline prohibitions lost their deterrent power at this moment. In less than a moment, tens of thousands of Jiang defense troops of the Yuan army were defeated, and the rout swept the Boyan army that was preparing to camp west.

If the Yuan army's battalion was still in existence at this time, and the branches of the armies performed their duties in the Ruoda defense area, even if the Jiang defense troops were chaotic, they might not even be able to rush in, let alone attack the Chinese army. The worst consequence was that tens of thousands of Jiangfang troops suffered heavy losses, and they were cut and bloodied by the Song army again, and they suffered losses and losses, and it still could not be said to shake the fundamentals.

However, when a defeated army that packs its bags, dismantles the barracks, forms a long line, and only wants to escape back to its nest away from the terrible battlefield, is suddenly hit by a blow from the sky and swept by a rout from the ground, this is definitely the deadliest and most terrible situation for an army, and there is no one. Even if Boyan was a world-famous general, instigating the general of the capital army, he was attacked by tens of thousands of routs when the army did not open a formation at all and was unprepared, and the Chinese army inevitably fell into chaos, and it was impossible to gather and rectify the army at all.

Because Boyan dismantled the pontoon bridge on the river beforehand, the result was that the Song gunboats were able to go upriver without hindrance, chasing and killing all the way, which made the Yuan army collapse more completely, and the situation collapsed and was out of control.

The guards of Shanghang City wanted to go out of the city to respond, but seeing the tide of chaos under the city, it was good not to open the city gate, once it was opened without knowing whether it was alive or dead, it was definitely to let a group of beasts in, and Shanghang was not destroyed by the Song army but was destroyed by the hands of its own Yuan army.

On the same day, the Song Junzhou Bridge Battalion rushed to the Tingjiang River to build a pontoon bridge, and then Jiang Fenglie and Shi Yang personally led the main army to cross the river. Shi Yang led the Fujian Guangxiang Army to launch a fierce attack on Shanghang, while Jiang Fenglie led the main force of the Longque Army to launch a thousand-mile pursuit against the rout of the army of more than 100,000 yuan.

The battle of Song, Yuan, and Western Fujian came to an end, the Song army won a big victory, the Yuan army was defeated, and the situation reversed so quickly that even the generals who had fought like this for half their lives were dizzy, and it was unbelievable that such a sharp change would occur. What is even more difficult to accept is that these generals of Meng Yuan, who still had hundreds of thousands of troops yesterday, are now surrounded by a group of remnants of defeated generals and flee in panic like lost dogs.

Those who can escape have fled, and those who can't have escaped can only fall.

After Shi Yang drove nearly 10,000 chaotic soldiers to attack Shanghang for three days, the Shanghang guards finally couldn't stand it, opened the door and surrendered, and offered a big gift - Pu Shougeng, who was tied up like a brown child.

Pu Shou Geng was both lucky and unlucky. said that he was lucky because at the beginning of the chaos, he was close to Shanghangcheng, and he immediately made a decision, immediately entered the city, and finally escaped. said that he was unlucky, also because he entered Shanghang City and seemed to be safe, but as soon as the Song army came, he was wrapped in dumplings.

At this time, in Shanghang City, even a small soldier can see that the general trend has gone, and even the more than 100,000 horses of Prime Minister Meng Yuan have ended up so bleakly, with this lonely city that is destined to be abandoned, what tricks do you want to toss? The more you resist, the more ugly you die.

However, at this time, Pu Shougeng stopped the surrender of the guard, Pu Shougeng is the secretary of Fujian Province, the official residence of the three products, far from a sub-10,000 households level of the city guard can compare. Under his desperate opposition, the Shanghang Shou General had to resist for three days.

Pu Shougeng didn't fail to see that the general trend had gone, he just hoped that the situation would change again, or that the Song army would focus all its attention on the defeat of Boyan and relax the siege of Shanghang a little, so that he might be able to escape. The reason why Pu Shougeng is so stubborn is not because of how loyal he is to Meng Yuan, but because everyone can surrender, but he, the executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of the Zhao and Song clans, dare not descend and cannot surrender.

It's just that the general trend is the same, and in the end, Pu Shougeng was still sold-just like when he sold the Zhao Song clan under the obscenity of Meng Yuan.

Reap the consequences, nothing more than that.

When Pu Shou Geng was dedicated to Shi Yangma, he was still dying, and said in a loud voice: "I am Pu Shou Geng, the left secretary of Fujian Province!" I am willing to abandon the darkness and return to the Great Song Dynasty! I want to see the officials, I want to dedicate thousands of warships to the officials, and I want to dedicate Quanzhou to the officials......"

Shi Yang glared: "You are Pu Shougeng?!" ”

Pu Shougeng raised his chest on his back: "Exactly." I ......"

"Yay! Your Majesty has an order, Pu rebels in Quanzhou pit to kill thousands of Song families, his hands are stained with blood, and the crime is unforgivable, but anyone who sees Pu rebels Shou Geng will be killed on the spot! ”

Pu Shougeng's eyes bulged out, and he was shocked: "No...... I can dedicate the ship and the city...... You can also make atonement for your sins...... I have a family of hundreds of millions, and I can fund the army to fight against the Mongols! ”

Shi Yang stared at Pu Shougeng coldly, and took out a pistol: "You don't need to offer it, a bastard, a certain family will take it for itself!" ”

Bang!
