Chapter 406: Pacifying Bashu
A small team of more than 1,000 people shuttled through the mountains and mountains of Bashu, and the soldiers were full of dust and vegetables. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Tonghe's 2,000 elite cavalry, one man and two horses, were responsible for blocking the plank road for Ming Yuzhen's retreat into Bashu.
Yu Tonghe saw that the plank road was precipitous, and it was difficult to repair it if it was burned, so he made a bold decision, and the soldiers and horses burned a section of the plank road after the plank road.
"Lord Steward, now that we have lost our way, we can't find the direction of Yudu, the soldiers' supplies have been cut off, and the retreat has been burned down, so what can we do?" The cavalry Qianhu can also have chapped lips and clench his fists for his life.
"The mountains and mountains, some are the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, which are inexhaustible, let the soldiers go to the mountain in front of them to hunt and solve today's food problems!" Yu Tong's hippo whip pointed to a high mountain road ahead.
Yu Tonghe understood in his heart at this time that the supply cut off by Qianhu was not a problem of food, a team of 2,000 people, one person and two horses, and under the condition of maintaining the standard configuration of cavalry, there were at least 2,000 horses that could kill the belly, and this cavalry of 2,000 Ran could have had a farther journey.
War horses belong to the precious things in the Han land, Hao Ren is not easy to collect the war horses with the strength of the famine, and formed the most powerful cavalry team in the Han land, Yu Tonghe is a native of the north, he knows the special significance of horses, so he is reluctant to kill the war horse to satisfy hunger.
The land of Bashu is high mountains, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, two thousand elites are brave and good at fighting, each equipped with elite Qingfeng crossbows, as long as you surround a high mountain to fight prey, you can ensure the supply of three or two days, and what really affects the combat effectiveness of this cavalry is salt.
Hunger and a full meal can not affect the combat effectiveness of this cavalry, and salt is a necessity for the body, once the body does not have salt intake, the whole person will be weak, and then cause various diseases, so that the whole army loses its combat effectiveness.
Yu Tonghe wandered around in the mountains for more than a month, and also attacked some villages, salt is a precious thing in the land of Bashu, ordinary villages can not solve the problem of salt supply for 2,000 people, Yu Tonghe has never solved the problem of salt, and then the army marched to the White Emperor City.
Facing the city wall of the White Emperor City, Yu Tonghe's bull-like body, because of the lack of salt, he didn't even have the strength to climb the city wall, and he didn't have the equipment to attack the city, so he could only look at the city and sigh.
However, Yu Tonghe found a problem, from the White Emperor City, there was a steady stream of soldiers and horses marching eastward, sending a few strong troops to catch two tongues, only to know that the Great Song Army's naval army was storming the Bingshu Sword Gorge, and the soldiers of Great Xia were sending reinforcements to the east to prevent the Song Army from breaking through the Yangtze River defense of Great Xia.
Yu Tonghe saw hope in despair, clamped his legs on the back of the horse, and ordered: "To the east, attack the Sword Gorge of the Book of Soldiers!" ”
……
The Sword Gorge of the Book of Soldiers, the peaks on both sides of the river, the terrain is extremely steep, as the last line of defense of the Great Xia arch on the Yangtze River, it is also the battlefield of the Great Song Dynasty Naval Army and the remnants of the Great Xia Army.
The battlefield was full of gunsmoke and the sound of artillery roared.
Wu Liuqi, the governor of the Jiangfang Army, and Yu Tonghai, the governor of the naval army, stood on the deck of the same building ship, using monoculars to check the situation on the battlefield.
The terrain of the Warrior Book Treasure Sword Gorge was steep, and the battleships could not pass through the enemy's defense line, so they could only send sailors and other shores to feint and attack the enemy's fortress.
The sailors of the Song army were hit again by the rolling stones and crossbow arrows on the top of the mountain, and hundreds of sailors were straddled on the mountainside, but the sailors of the Song army did not retreat from the fight, and they shouted and braved the enemy's arrows and stones.
Wu Liuqi felt sorry for his water army, and clenched his fists with a clucking sound!
The Great Song Army has several different arms of the army, and different arms undertake different combat tasks, and the combat mission of these two naval armies this time is to pursue and annihilate the naval army of Great Xia and attack fortified positions, which is obviously not the combat mission of the two armies, nor is it what the two armies are good at.
If there is a need for a naval army to attack a fortified position, Hao Ren will inevitably order the naval army to carry infantry who are good at fighting, and use infantry to attack the city, and will never lose, and use the hard-trained naval army to fight a tough battle that is not good at it, and it is far more difficult to train a naval army than to train an infantry.
And the two armies of Wu Liuqi and Yu Tonghai did not avoid war because they were not good at it, nor were they so vicious that they only needed military merit regardless of the life and death of soldiers.
"Governor Yu, it's not easy for the navy to become an army, and we can't let the sailors be wasted on the fortifications that we are not good at, so I ask Your Majesty to send more infantry!" Wu Liuqi cried in his heart.
"What Wu Dudu said is extremely true!" Yu Tonghai agreed: "But the messenger sent to Yizhou to deliver the letter has not yet returned, our army has temporarily lost contact with Your Majesty, Your Majesty now does not know where the commander is pursuing the enemy, how to report our situation to Your Majesty?" Even if we contact Your Majesty, Guanshan is far away, and when the infantry comes, I don't know what year and month, I am afraid that Daxia will be more fully prepared. I have already sent a small boat to Xiling Gorge to pick up the navy that remains there, and I will do so today, and when the navy's fresh force arrives, we will allow our navy to attack two more battles. ”
"Blow the horn and let the Jiang Defense Army retreat!" Wu Liuqi ordered.
"Wait!" Yu Tonghai suddenly found that the enemy on the top of the mountain was the same, and quickly stopped: "The situation seems to have changed!" ”
I saw the top of the mountain, the enemy was already in chaos, a Song cavalry, was struggling to kill on the top of the mountain, the galloping horses, the enemy scattered and fled, and the rider on the horseback did not seem to have much strength to swing the knife.
"Haha!" Wu Liuqi also found the banner on the top of the mountain, and exclaimed excitedly: "It must be that Your Majesty's army has entered Shu from the plank road first, and sent troops and horses to support us!" The time for the decisive battle has fallen, and the three armies are ordered to launch a general attack! ”
"Woo-woo-" Song Jun's trumpet whimpered.
Yu Tonghai was the commander of the naval warship, struggled forward, suppressed the enemy on both sides with artillery, Wu Liuqi as the commander of the two armies (Wu Liuqi was the commander in the river, and Yu Tonghai was the commander in the sea), personally commanded his own guards, and disembarked to fight.
In this battle, the Song army was greatly influenced by Meng Yuan, and when Hao Ren was fighting, he personally led the army to charge at the critical moment of the decisive battle, not to mention that Wu Liuqi and Yu Tonghai were all overseers.
A fixed mode of thinking has been formed in the Song army -- the commander will win this battle.
……
The Xia army's Jiangfang Peak to the east, not waiting for a large number of cavalry to appear behind the mountain, and I don't know how many enemies there are behind the mountain.
"Your Majesty has already entered Bashu, is Pyle waiting to pick us up?" On the Sword Gorge Mountain, Wu Liuqi and Yu Tonghe cavalry met and asked excitedly.
However, Wu Liuqi looked at Yu Tonghe, who looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
The people who came were so embarrassed, could it be that His Majesty was defeated in Bashu?
Yu Tonghe was already seriously lacking salt at this time, his lips were chapped, and he gritted his teeth to launch a charge, when he looked at Wu Liuqi's familiar face in a trance, his eyes turned black for a while, "Salt ......" he muttered, and he fell off the horse.
