Chapter 306: Boyan Who Woke Up

Chen Longfu, who won a complete victory in Jingzhou at night, cleaned up some of the Han officials who had previously descended to the Yuan, and arrested some Yuan soldiers who had slipped through the net, and opened a unified knife outside the noon gate, which was also to comfort the ordinary people in the city who were bullied by the Yuan people.

Then Chen Yijie was appointed to take charge of the unified post of Jingzhou Capital, temporarily responsible for the defense of Jingzhou, recruiting troops and horses to build an army, and beware of the Yuan army in the direction of Yichang to attack, while he led the army out of the city to the north to receive Jingmen, which was unmanned.

Zhao Tianyou received battle reports from Jingmen in Jingzhou in Suizhou, and Chen Longfu was respectful and respectful in his words, and his gratitude to Zhao Tianyou was overflowing, and the content of telling the military situation accounted for one-third, and most of the words were like sycophants.

After reading it, Du Hu shouted disgustingly, but he didn't expect that Chen Longfu, a martial artist, would be so dancing, and the letter was full of sour words, which really opened his eyes.

"As soon as someone else writes it, General Chen just wants to praise people, and his face is red before he says anything, how can he write such a military newspaper!"

Du Hu said with a smile: "It must be recruited from Jingzhou, Chen Longfu began to write a book for himself, when he was young, he had this idea, and he very much hoped to go down in history." ”

"Haha, let me tell you Lao Du, you don't need to find someone to help, the person who writes the book for you in the future will have to break his head."

"I don't want it, if I can appear in the book written about General Zhao, it will be my ancestor who has accumulated virtue, and I will be very happy!"

Jingzhou Jingmen Suizhou fell into the hands of the Song army step by step, and the Yuan army in Xiangyang still did not come up with an effective method, and hundreds of thousands of troops faced each other across the river in Xiangyang and Fancheng, but they did not have the courage to send troops south.

Fortunately, Boyan's condition gradually improved, his sanity gradually returned to normal, and he began to ask the clerk every day to report the military, government and people's conditions, etc., and he would add his opinions one by one and forward them to the officials in charge of them.

Kublai Khan did not appoint a new commander-in-chief, but he did not remove Boyan from his official position, and during his recuperation, the entire military affairs of Xiangyang almost came to a standstill. The generals who temporarily led the troops, did not seek merit but no fault, and lost elsewhere, so let others be anxious first, before the war burned to Xiangyang, everyone deliberately pretended not to know.

And Kublai Khan, who was in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, did not care about the southern expedition to the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, except for the dispatch of cavalry from the north to support, there was no clearer task, and there were no new officials with instructions to go south.

The Yuan army stationed in Xiangyang was originally divided into soldiers of several tribes, among which there were some soldiers who rotated in Shudi, who stayed because of the tense war and did not belong to the establishment of Xiangyang, and there were often some small frictions with other troops.

By the time the Song army approached Xiangyang in a big way, Boyan's body and sanity had recovered, and he took the initiative to convene a meeting of generals from all walks of life to negotiate the deployment and resistance to the Song army's attack without anyone carrying the flag.

Boyan was in charge of military affairs from the beginning, which played a very big stabilizing role in the Yuan army, and some small contradictions were also suppressed, and it seems that the Yuan army has regained its previous momentum of unity and fearlessness.

But Boyan himself knew in his heart that he couldn't resist the cannons of the Song army, and he couldn't say that the Great Heaven was in the White Tower, not to mention the combat power of these hundreds of thousands of horses, even the original 400,000 elites, and he wouldn't be wiped out without resisting a few times.

This time the defense of the city is more passive, Xiangyang is the military hub of the entire southern invasion, once it is lost, then the Yuan Dynasty's plan to invade the Song Dynasty can be closed to the coffin, and it has completely failed. Shu back and forth changed more than a dozen generals, more than 200,000 yuan of casualties, after 35 years of war, the attack on Diaoyu City has not succeeded, if this time Xiangyang is taken back by the Song army, I am afraid that there will be no ability to turn over.

He vaguely knew that Kublai Khan was not idle in Yuanda, and he was defeated by the Song army's artillery so many times, how could Kublai Khan, as a generation of heroes, stare at it? However, in Boyan's understanding, he no longer knew what method to use to confront the Song army's artillery, and all he could think of was to reduce the damage of the cannon to the soldiers.

To put it simply, it is to increase protection, wear thick armor, wear iron armor, wear rattan armor, all kinds of methods, Yuan Dadu should be experimenting, but time waits for no one! By the time you decide what to wear for three years, these people will have long since turned into a pile of white bones, and they can only rest in coffins, not to mention artillery attacks, and even the Jade Emperor is no longer afraid at that time.

"Report to the prime minister, the Song army marched slowly, almost every day was stop-and-go, when the Song army approached Zaoyang, it went around the city without stopping, and camped in the area of Goujiazhuang when the order was given!"

Boyan nodded and asked, "What is the reaction in Zaoyang County?" ”

"The cavalry stationed in Zaoyang has been withdrawn many days ago, and the scouts outside the city have found out the news that the defense in the inner city of Zaoyang County is like a fictitious situation, and the county officials have long not known where to flee. It turned out that the Han army that surrendered to our dynasty privately divided weapons and ordnance, some were taken away and some were sold, and the defenders had lost their generals, like a plate of scattered sand. ”

"Hehe, these spineless Song dogs, you should never expect them to be sincere to you, we just need the knife in our hands to be fast and sharp enough to make them afraid. Once this deterrent is lost and the cavalry stationed in the local area is withdrawn, the soft officials left behind cannot be counted on, so it will be as if Zaoyang has been lost! ”

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Boyan looked at the letter in his hand, but there was no latest report from Jingmen on the South Road.

"Why is there no news from the South Road today, and the barracks we set up in Yicheng have also been withdrawn? Didn't scouts be sent nearby to scout the enemy? ”

The herald hurriedly parted ways and said: "There is only peace from the day before yesterday, and there has been no news since then, there are 10,000 garrisons in Yicheng and hundreds of scouts, and no one has given the order to withdraw." ”

"Okay, let's explore and report again."

According to the speed of the Song army, the main reason for their slow march should be the lack of horses, or the difficulty of moving due to the heavy cannons, which affected their marching speed. Boyan's mind turned, is there a chance to do it here?

Now that the spring is blooming, the air is moist, the weather in Xiangyang is starting to heat up, and the weather is often raining, and the roads at that time are all built with ash and soil, and the protection against rain is very weak.

Bo Yan, who recovered his brain, came up with the idea of leading the army to meet the Song army on the road, and he lingered and thought about it repeatedly, for fear that this was a trick of the Song army to lure the enemy.

This time Boyan was wrong, the slow march of the Song army in Suizhou really came from the interference of the weather, and there was no intention of luring the enemy. In the transportation of ammunition in the firearms battalion, waterproof and fire prevention are the top priorities, and it is even more prudent and cautious during the march, and the ammunition must not be allowed to get wet.
