"After a day's journey of riding down the horse, we deployed two hundred rafts on this river, which were used by the Mongolian warriors and the Han Chinese. Then go up the horseback for half a day's journey, there are our warriors to guard both sides of the river, I allocated two thousand households a total of 1,700 soldiers, once the ship of the Sinan Si people, immediately raise the fire alarm, two thousand households on both sides of the river, with a strong bow to shoot the Sinan Si ship from the downstream, each thousand households are divided into three teams, three teams take turns to shoot, our army's archery is unparalleled in the world, if the Sinan Si people want to break through, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. ”
Tath was noncommittal, but just let the white horse under the seat slowly move forward, and suddenly said: "Even if there are many people and boats, they can force through Chapter 4o7 Han craftsmen and start to imitate Mongolia's own bed crossbow."
said that it was an imitation, but it underestimated the craftsmen of the Northland. Although they were familiar with the 4o7 artisans who encountered in the Mongols' southern expedition to imitate bed crossbows, they immediately gained many craftsmen who were skilled in making large bows and crossbows, so when they led the southern expedition this time, they equipped the army with a considerable number of bed crossbows.
The use of the bed crossbow in water warfare is nothing less than a clever move, the bed crossbow has a long range and great power, which is the only weapon in water warfare. This year, in the two armies that invaded Huaidong and Jinghu, they invariably used bed crossbows to block the river and curb the actions of the Song Dynasty sailors. However, the Mongol army on Huaishang could only place the bed crossbow on the shore and shoot at the river, which was far less than the bed crossbow on the wooden row heavy floor to be close to the Song army's warships, which was convenient for shooting, and the bed crossbow was also covered and covered by the wooden building, and it was not easy to be killed by the arrows of the Song army. This qiē is all thanks to the idea of this wonderful water city tower.
"You can't come up with this idea of building a wooden building on the water." Tath knew his men well, and he understood that the Mongols who grew up in the steppes knew nothing about water warfare, let alone the concept and technology to build a water tower: "Who built this water tower? ”
He also replied honestly: "When Zhang Rou captured De'an Mansion, he got a craftsman named Gao Xuan, originally the warriors thought he was just an ordinary Sinan Si person, so they wanted to kill him, but he himself lay on the ground and begged, saying that it was a craftsman who built a wooden row for Sinan Si's army, and he would build a wooden row and a wooden building, so Zhang Rou sent this person to our army, I asked him to try, and it was really good, the wooden raft and wooden building built were tall and strong. Fortunately, this person fell into our hands, otherwise the Sinan Si people would use this person to build a water fortress, and it would be even more difficult for us to conquer. ”
"Very well done." Tath never praised his subordinates lightly, and this sentence was enough to make Ye Li suddenly excited: "We came from the grassland, and we are born with the ability to not pass through water, but if we can get the help of these Jiangnan craftsmen, this big river will not be a real obstacle." ”
He gently turned the horse's head, and when he returned to the horse, he said suddenly, "But don't forget the strengths of our Mongols. Our cavalry has never met an opponent. You may be very confident in the defense on the river, but if you can't resist Sinansi's warships, you can temporarily abandon the river bank, lure them all to 6 places and then use iron cavalry to assault, this is a tactic to cover up our weaknesses and highlight our advantages. ”
also forced to promise immediately, but there were some disdains in my heart. He thought that the three well-laid Han water defense lines were so strong that even if the Song army downstream had a hundred warships, it would be difficult to attack them. As long as the Song people are powerless on the water, whether it is Yingzhou or Xiangyang, it is equivalent to the bag of the Mongols.
"We can't delay here too long, once we delay here, we won't have time to besiege Xiangyang before the summer." Tathzema ran towards the camp: "We must take this city within ten days!" ”
At this moment, the Mongol king had no idea that the Song army had already begun to prepare for a counterattack. The target of the counteroffensive was the main Mongol forces on the outskirts of Yingzhou.
When he returned to the camp, it happened that an arrow warrior galloped in from the south, bringing urgent news from the Mongol army stationed in Fuzhou, and after the Song army drove Zhang Rou back in Huangzhou, he went up the river and rushed into Zhangdahu with 50 warships, and used more than 200 ships for the transportation of the Mongols in Zhangdahu. At the same time, the Song army in Huangzhou, the main general Meng Dutong, led a large army to break into Fuzhou, and the Mongolian army fought more than 1,000 people, three battles and three victories, the Mongolian army except for a part of the Song army left to contain the Song army, the rest of the people were ready to drive away the captured cattle and horses to prepare to retreat north. But now the torches in the south of the Yangtze River stretch for hundreds of miles, at least 100,000 horses, and the people are noisy, ready to cross the river into Fuzhou. The Mongol marching thousands of households in Fuzhou did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent envoys to Tath to report the emergency.
When he heard the news that the Song army was preparing to cross the river with an army of 100,000 to attack, he became excited, and as soon as the quiver retreated, he stood up and shouted: "Please give me 3,000 cavalry, please give me 3,000 cavalry, I am willing to personally go to Fuzhou to wipe out all the 100,000 people of Sinan Si!" ”
Tath smiled and asked, "Sinan Si has so many soldiers and horses, and each of them can shoot you into a hedgehog with one arrow, aren't you afraid?" ”
Liu Badu'er laughed, reached out and took a camel bone arrow from the arrow gourd, and said: "The arrows shot by the Sinan Si people are weak and weak, and I want to sweep them 100,000 people as simple as that." With a slight force, the camel bone arrow broke in two. The so-called camel bone arrow is not necessarily made of the shin bone of a camel, but the camel bone is extremely tough, and its name shows the strength of the arrow shaft, but in the hands of Liu Baduer, it was broken as lightly as a dead branch.
Tath waved his hand and smiled: "Don't be anxious and rejoice, let me ask you, what if Sinan Si people are in front of you with artillery, and meet your 3,000 cavalry?" ”
Liu Badu'er immediately stopped laughing and shouted: "Just like the king ordered, although Sinan Si's artillery is powerful, but when Chapter 4o7 is like a forest of banners, and when he hides under the trees like a starry tent, he can't help but be faintly worried.
