Chapter 340: Big Brother Sometimes Makes Fools
Of course, Lu Wende, the envoy of Jinghu Command, was also studying the direction of the Tatar army's attack, and learned through his own intelligence that they were going to attack their own Xiangfan and two cities. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They will have a total of 200,000 troops, 10,000 warships, with a small number of cavalry, with the northern Han people as the main force!
Their siege was well equipped, and in addition to traditional equipment, there was a large number of large, medium and small stone cannons, and even real artillery!
The Jinghu system made Lu Wende play jade chess with his sixth brother Lu Wenhuan in his study, and the words on the chess were still written by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and now they are circulating everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, they don't know that hundreds of years later, the chess is still the same word.
The sixth brother, Lu Wenhuan, finally calmed down now, and he finally understood why the eldest brother didn't care about the discussion that the Tatars applied to build, and he didn't care about the two fortresses built by the Tatars under the pretext of the safety of merchants.
With the power of stone cannons and artillery, with just a few thunderbolts, those two small fortresses can be turned into ballast!
Hey, I was worried about death before, but my eldest brother wasn't worried at all.
Of course Lu Wenhuan didn't know, his eldest brother himself was shocked into a cold sweat when he thought about it now!
After he learned the direction of the Tatar army's attack, it suddenly dawned on him that those two small fortresses were stuck in the logistics transportation line, and if they suddenly exerted force now, he would definitely be in a hurry!
The Jinghu system made Lu Wende deeply afraid, and he immediately ordered someone to go in to investigate under other names, and sure enough, he saw a number of weapons in it!
However, at this time, the Tatar army had not yet officially attacked, and he did not want to bear the responsibility of provoking the war first.
However, the men he sent to investigate reported that the walls were made of clay bricks and were vulnerable. Unable to withstand stone cannons, let alone thunderbolts and explosives/powder packs.
After investigating to this extent, Lu Wende was relieved, he sometimes looked at the eyes of the sixth brother Lu Wenhuan with admiration, and he felt ashamed in his heart, the sixth brother. You don't know, big brother sometimes makes fools, you kid has more vision than me.
The two drank tea soup while playing chess lightly.
Lu Wenhuan said: "Big brother, this time the Tatar army sent Ashudu, which means a lot. In terms of troops, they have a great advantage, 200,000 ------"
"Well, they're all soldiers. But I'll drag them with the fortress first, and the charter for help has already been delivered. ”
Previously, after the two of them laid out the fortress formation, they also deduced what to do if the Tatar army divided many fortresses, so that they could not be connected with each other, and each was an orphan.
The crowd also had a way. On the Jianghan Plain, there are many water flows. In many places, larger river boats could not be navigated, but some of them suggested that they had seen a dhow of a swordfish boat with a draft of just over three feet in the Badao River area, running like a fly on the river. If each one had a dozen arquebusiers or small tiger cannons, wouldn't they have galloped at will, specializing in Tatar rafts and rowing boats?!
Or attack their weak points at will?!
At that time, this opened everyone's minds.
Northerners use horses as boats. Southerners use boats as horses, and this is the key point.
But they didn't have the weapons in their hands before, and even if they organized this one, the attack power was not large.
However, if you can use the weapons you already have, it will make a big difference!
They thought that dozens of stone cannons that could be temporarily assembled could be shipped at the same time, and if they arrived at the position, they could quickly assemble them, even if they could only hit dozens of steps away, then they would also play an important supporting role!
The point is that the thunderbolt and the explosive/powder pack are amazingly powerful!
As soon as this idea was opened, there were too many ways for everyone to discuss around the river.
As for how to do it, Lu Wende doesn't care, it's a matter for his subordinates.
Since then, the Jinghu Theater has also had one more type of troops: rapid reinforcements on the water.
But the question is, what about some castles that really can't get close to the river?
They have two ways, one is to find the easy to defend and difficult to attack place on the terrain, there is really no more, you can dig a moat, even if it is a moat.
In this way, little by little, they perfected their defenses, and the Tatar army also perfected their preparations for the attack little by little.
March 3, 1268.
On March 3 every year, it is a festival for young men and women in the Great Song Dynasty to go on a blind date publicly, on this day, young men and women can openly ask for marriage in the name of going out in the wilderness, and even have the opportunity to find a place to hold hands.
Don't worry, at this time, the Great Song Dynasty did not give or receive kisses between men and women, nor did they catch **** prostitution, thinking that the Han people were vulgar and were the big boss Kublai Khan more than ten years later.
Only under the rule of alien races will they be interested in the lower body of the Han Chinese.
It was on this beautiful day that the Tatar army began to attack.
Countless warships, large and small, pounced on Xiangyang City like locusts!
Several teams of people and horses who couldn't see the end at a glance also pounced on Xiangfan City like poisonous snakes!
If history does not change, this will be a war that will determine the future direction of a nation, and it will be a war that will last for six years!
Over the course of the campaign, the number of Tatar army fighters increased to four hundred thousand!
In the course of the whole campaign, 150,000 people in the 5 years before and after the Great Song Dynasty, and the rescue mainly by sailors failed!
However, history has changed, the evil that cursed this Chinese nation has failed, and history has been very different------
During the entire march, the deputy commander Liu Quan's heart was quite uneasy.
He has always taken the waterway, and the main general Ashu led the team to take the land route, and there was a forward battalion to build a raft to ferry.
Liu Quan, the deputy commander-in-chief, was uncomfortable with the fact that in addition to the fact that the military geographical location was still important, the two cities of Xiangfan were very different from the past.
He had a hint of worry, in the previous conflict, he had not won the Lu Group at all!
However, in the recent period, the Lu Group has not known why the patrol scope of the patrol ship has shrunk, is he waiting for himself to go?!
At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of the horns of the Tatar army on land, the sound was deep and mighty, long and endless------ and at this time, he immediately had confidence that the real Tatar warriors were coming, they were the most heroic and warlike people in the world!
He recalled the stage when the Tatars destroyed gold------ countless horses' hooves were flying, countless bows and arrows were flying, and the Dajin warriors, who had previously seemed to be extremely brave, fell like pigs and sheep in the bloody rain.
Therefore, if you defect, then of course you have to defect to the Tatars, and the big tree is big to enjoy the shade!
At this time, the main general Ah Shu sat under a big umbrella and drank mare's milk wine.
In front of him, a river less than thirty paces wide and narrow blocked their entire army on land.
After sending someone to measure, it was found that there was already a depth of one person, and the raft could only be built again.
The shore was clanging------
The main general Ah Shu thought hatefully, this kind of river is everywhere here, it's really annoying!
He took a sip and whipped the ground with his horsewhip.
One of his deputies, a Han man from the north, knew the mind of the main general, and said with a smile: "The main general, if their Song people send river boats to block it at this time, how will our army cross the river?" They are clearly some cowardly and incompetent people, and when my army arrives, they can only be slaughtered by me! ”
When the main general Ah Shu heard this, he immediately lost his troubles for no reason, and observed the surrounding environment of this nameless river.
I saw that on both sides of the river, the water and grass were standing upright, but there was not a man or a boat.
He laughed and said, "Sure enough, if they set up a fleet on the other side, it will be very difficult for our troops to move!" (To be continued.) )
