Chapter 348: Circling the City

After the general of Baozhou received the secret protection of the scouts, he was really surprised, the 200,000 Song army attacked, Baozhou is the city with high walls and thick walls, it is a traditional military town, but the troops and materials stationed in it are limited, and it will not last long to lose it.

However, the Song army actually went around the city, and 200,000 people did not take the flat official road, but turned to Anxin Benxiongzhou, not only to walk an extra day or two, but also to cross several rivers to go to Bazhou, which was much more difficult than directly taking Baozhou and going north.

If the direction of the Song army's attack is Yuan Dadu, such a detour is even more undesirable, what kind of march will leave a fatal hole in the rear, and it will be attacked by the Yuan army in Baozhou at any time, how dare it must be to do this!

The 200,000 troops passed three days from the southern city of Qingyuan, and the petty officials in Qingyuan County were so frightened that they did not dare to go to the yamen for a few days, and there were many people who took off their official uniforms and blended into the ordinary people.

This is the sixteen states of Yanyun during the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also the front line of the Northern Song Dynasty's resistance to Liao and Jin, but the Northern Song Dynasty finally failed to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, and the territory here has been ruled by the Jin State for a long time, and the people in the city have been mixed with different ethnic groups, but the dominant Han people are the majority.

It didn't take much time, three days was enough, and as soon as the majestic Song soldiers outside the city passed, many of the Han people who had been bullied by the Jin and Yuan people for a long time stood up and prepared to resist.

This was an unexpected result, the few soldiers of the Yuan army in the county town had already returned to Baozhou, and even the Mongolian officials chose to flee, and the remaining Han officials wanted to go to the yamen to work three days later, and found that the yamen had been occupied by the common people.

Du Hu and Chen Longfu didn't know what Zhao Tianyou's purpose was for them to bypass Baozhou, and they didn't know anything about the spontaneous popular uprising of the Qing Yuan to occupy the yamen and raise the banner of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the two Song armies in Bazhou met, there were too many people to camp outside the city, and the military camp stretched for more than ten miles, so that the people nearby saw it, and the Han people applauded, and some foreign races who often bullied the Han people hurriedly fled home to pack up their softness, preparing to escape from this land as soon as possible.

"General Zhao, why don't you let me take Baozhou down? There are tens of thousands of troops there, and if we continue to go north, they will make trouble for us from behind!" After Chen Longfu crossed the river, he also fought a few good battles, and his morale was on the rise, and he was very puzzled by Zhao Tianyou's order, didn't this make him lose the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Haha, General Chen, you have made too many achievements in this battle, and you still care about this small Baozhou? Next time, I'll leave the task of attacking Yuan Dadu to you! ”

Chen Longfu trembled in his heart when he heard this, and immediately realized that he was a little disrespectful to Zhao Tianyou just now, and a cold sweat broke out from his back, and it was cold to the tip of his nose.

"General Zhao, don't blame me, it's not that I doubt the general's orders, Long Fu was a little presumptuous when he said just now, I will make amends to the general here first. But I didn't mean anything else, I was just worried that the Yuan army in Baozhou would launch a sneak attack on us from behind. ”

Zhao Tianyou saw that he was still quite interesting, and understood that he was beating him, so he said with a smile: "It's okay, General Chen has made too many contributions all the way north, and it is inevitable that he will be mentally tired, and it is inevitable to say the wrong thing." Rest assured! I don't care. ”

If Du Hu or other officers from the martial arts department questioned Zhao Tianyou's order, they would definitely ask them bluntly, even if they couldn't get an answer at the moment, they wouldn't be worried that Zhao Tianyou would be angry. Because of the knowledge that Zhao Tianyou taught them, there are doubts about everything, and everything must be verified, of course, the most critical thing in the army, after receiving the order, the first thing is to carry it out, no matter how doubtful it is, it can only be verified afterwards.

Chen Longfu nodded again and again, closed his mouth tightly and didn't dare to talk more, it is true that he has won all the way recently, and he may not have realized that the tail behind his ass has risen to the sky. The daily marching and fighting are just discussed with Du Hu, and others are still in their eyes, and the two armies often fight independently, only cooperating and coordinating with each other, Chen Longfu is really a little overestimated of his ability.

The main reason why they were able to win the battle was not how capable he was, but that the entire Yuan army had turned from prosperity to decline in the face of gunpowder weapons, and the army that had lost its morale and belief in victory was only one step away from being destroyed.

If the firearms battalion of Chen Longfu's army is transferred, will he still be able to win battles again and again? may be able to win the Yuan army, but the price paid is many times greater than now, and if he can't hold on to his Chen Long's restoration of so many military exploits, I am afraid that these soldiers and horses in his hands have been exhausted.

A large number of shells and gunpowder were transported from the ship, and the entire Song army was sufficiently replenished, and the firearms battalion with more than 30,000 people had consumed an astronomical amount of ammunition in a battle.

There is a profound truth in the saying that the poor are rich and the rich are rich, and force is the most effective means of obtaining resources, and it is also the most resource-consuming way, and the consumption of firearms battalions is huge, and the benefits brought at the same time are even more amazing.

In the era of Genghis Khan, he relied on this powerful force to rob the wealth of countless countries in the world and establish a world center in the barren steppe.

Of course, the way the Great Song Dynasty governed the country is incomprehensible, the richest country in the world, was conquered by a nomadic tribe that drank blood, among which there was certainly the combat method of the Mongolian cavalry, which was indeed the most advanced at the time, but it was directly related to the serious distrust of the army in the Great Song Dynasty.

When the Song army was entrenched in the area of Bazhou for repair, Kublai Khan returned to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and began to requisition forces from all over the country, promising generous conditions to all khanates that could send troops to support, and even giving them freedom, only retaining the status of a vassal state, and giving up all taxes and rights.

From a business point of view, Kublai Khan was sure to make money, and if he really failed, the conditions he promised would become empty words, and no one would approve and implement them. If he defeats the Song army, then he is still the representative of the Immortal Heaven, and the king who controls this world is to retract his original promise, and there are also countless ways.

Under the Great Mongol Empire, in addition to the four khanates, there are countless small tribes and small countries, this time the comprehensive recruitment of troops is also a test of whether these countries can accept the rule with peace of mind, Kublai Khan has long made up his mind in his heart, as long as he can defeat the Song army, there are many goals to be destroyed next, and Meng Ge's son must not be allowed to say in public that he Kublai Khan is not the heir of the orthodox golden family.

In a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of troops of various colors marched in the direction of Yuan Dadu.
