Chapter 336: Who Sees the Ups and Downs of the Reckless Sky (I)
PS: The second update is 18 o'clock
"Flying Thunder Cannon, let's go!" Bai Nutao stood at the bow of the warship and roared loudly.
The flagship flew over, and the three warships behind crossed the hull at the same time, and the flying thunder cannon on one side was aimed at the water gate not far away. This water gate is a small water gate in the southeast corner of Ouchi Miyagi, and its main role is to attract water into Miyagi from here, but although this water gate is small, it is enough for a small warship to rush directly into it.
After all, there are many gates in Lin'an, and Zhang Hongfan can't put all the last troops in his hand on the city gate, so there are far more soldiers defending the north gate than in the south, especially in the south of the city, there are Phoenix Mountain and Qibao Mountain, and there are two city walls of the palace city and the imperial city to block it, even if the southern barbarians break through a city wall for a while, they can also be remedied at the second city wall in time.
What's more, the main force of the southern barbarian town navy has already set up a posture in the north of the city, and it is obvious that it has also taken the way of tearing the hole from the north of the city, and those southern barbarian rebels in the south of the city, to be honest, Zhang Hongfan really didn't pay attention to it, after all, compared with such a carefully selected Mongolian Shandong garrison, and compared with the battle-hardened town navy under Ye Yingwu, there is a world of difference.
Don't look at it, they did conquer Xiaoshan, but if it weren't for Zhang Hongfan's fear that Timur would not spend his hands on these horses and horses to be outflanked by the town navy and withdraw them from Xiaoshan, even if they gave these southern barbarian rebels a month, they would not be able to conquer the small city of Xiaoshan.
For various reasons, Zhang Hongfan handed over the south of the city to Timur Buhua, and Timur did not spend his troops on his hands and was also scattered, mainly stationed in the line from Phoenix Mountain to Yongjinmen, and only a few hundred people defended several city gates such as the water gate and the Lizheng gate in the north and south of the palace.
The thunder cannon roared muffled in the gloomy sky, the few Mongol soldiers on the small water gate had been wiped out of the world almost at the first bombardment, and the black flag fluttering in the wind also wanted to lose its wings and fall from the city gate.
"Don't fall in love with the war, break through the water gate quickly." Ye Yingwu frowned from behind and said coldly.
Bai Nutao nodded, waved his hand forward, and several small boats flew out like arrows from the string, sticking straight to the water gate, and the bow soldier skillfully tied the explosive bag to the column of the water gate, and after igniting the explosive bag, he simply plunged directly into the water.
"Bang bang bang!" With several loud bangs, the wooden fence of the Water Gate has been blown off.
The big ship of the sailor quickly rushed into the city, and the river in the city suddenly narrowed, and Ye Yingwu obviously expected this situation, and when the sailor warship had just landed, he had already jumped down from the side of the boat with a sword: "Jiang Tie, Wu Chucai, bring someone to follow Lao Tzu!" ”
The planks were put down, the cavalry of the Hundred Battles City gathered at the fastest speed, a red banner was already held up behind Ye Yingwu, and there was a shout in the distance, and a small number of Mongolian soldiers were rushing towards this side in a disorderly manner.
"The Mongolian Tartars have noticed it and told Li Changxi that the people behind him should hurry up to Lao Tzu and be sure to take the Brahma Temple and the Stone Buddha Temple first and occupy Phoenix Mountain." Ye Yingwu roared at the white waves on the bow of the boat, and then got on his horse himself, "Hundred battles, keep up." ”
Five hundred cavalry swept the billowing smoke and dust, like a sharp sword, straight towards the approaching Mongol foot soldiers. Ye Yingwu took the lead, but Wu Chucai and Jiang Tie soon overtook him with people, and raised their sabers high at the same time.
The Mongolian centurion, who was beckoning his subordinates to come, looked at the cavalry that suddenly appeared, and his pupils dilated suddenly, Nanbanzi, where did the Nanban come from, the water gate was only hit by a few shots, and it was blown open? And the sailors of the southern barbarians actually entered the city faster than the north of the city?
The Mongolian centurion, who doesn't know much about the overall situation, also understands something at this moment, the southern barbarians have no intention of breaking the city from only one direction, for them there is no so-called siege of three and one is missing, one south and one north who can enter Lin'an is victory!
It's just that the centurion understood too late, and the cavalry of the hundred battles easily ploughed a bloody wave in the crowd. To the north is the south gate of the palace city - Li Zheng Gate, and this open space in front of Li Zheng Gate is the place where the Great Song Dynasty officials have reviewed the forbidden army for a hundred years, so for the cavalry, it is the best charge, and before this team of unlucky Mongolian Han foot soldiers came into contact, a hundred battles have already raised the speed to the extreme, so they can only wait for a complete massacre.
The blood stained the armor and battle robes, and even splashed on his face, but Ye Yingwu was not moved in the slightest, and the opponent was wiped out like a storm in a hundred battles, and the horse's speed did not weaken in the slightest, and continued to follow the dancing red banner in front of him to rush forward.
"Xiao Yoko, blow up the main gate of Li!" Ye Yingwu yanked the reins of the horse, "Rush over from the palace." ”
Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai had a tacit understanding that they each led a team of cavalry to bypass from both sides, and the crossbows in their hands were all aimed at the head of the city. Seeing such a posture, the Mongolian soldiers at the main gate of Li were so panicked that no one could care to fight back, and a burst of arrows came whizzing, making them busy dodging.
Seeing this, Xiao Yangzi did not hesitate at all, and went straight forward, several cavalrymen picked up explosives bags from their saddles, and their companions next to them put away their sabers and took out fire folds from their arms and lit them. The movements of several cavalrymen were like walking together, and after the explosives package was ignited, they were thrown straight to the city gate, and then a few people quickly turned their horses' heads, and just ran out of twenty or thirty zhang, and the rolling air wave behind them with heat was already hitting their backs, but it was difficult to hurt people at this distance.
The explosion shook the earth, and the city gate seemed to be torn apart by a hand that came out of the ground, and the scene behind the city gate could already be seen in the smoke and dust.
"Let's go!" Ye Yingwu did not hesitate to urge the war horse.
The drums on the Phoenix Mountain on one side have sounded, and the Mongolian Tatars who are obviously concentrated on the mountain have discovered this cavalry that broke through the city gate, but it is not Ye Yingwu's five hundred battles that entertain them, more rebels have appeared outside the square, and a row of flying thunder cannons that were urgently dismantled from the ship are aimed at Phoenix Mountain, and the banners of Yang Shouming and Wang Da are fluttering in the wind at the same time.
In fact, there are not too many Mongolian defenders in the palace, after all, Zhang Hongfan's troops are also stretched, as long as the southern barbarians can't take the Phoenix Mountain, even if they control the palace, they can only be beaten passively, so Zhang Hongfan did not lay heavy troops here in the palace.
I am afraid that this is also the only and biggest gap in the entire Lin'an city defense.
Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, the fact that there was no figure around him had already told him that he was right, and at that moment he took out the map of the palace city from his arms, and the map was full of juanxiu Xiaokai, which was painted by Zhao Yunshu for Ye Yingwu, after all, the palace city of the Southern Song Dynasty is where the royal secret is located, and the world knows very little, and because of the different preferences of the emperors of the previous dynasties, the names of the palaces are often changed, and there are such dense clusters together, and you will generally get lost when you come in for the first time.
But fortunately, with this map, he is not afraid, Ye Yingwu tightened the reins of the horse: "Quick, go to Heningmen!" ”
The sound of explosions behind him was endless, obviously under the leadership of Yang Shouming and Wang Da, the righteous army had already begun to attack the mountain, but Ye Yingwu couldn't take care of them, and he wanted to rely on the elite of the five hundred cavalry to chisel through the barriers of Lin'an in one fell swoop, and directly defeat Zhang Hongfan.
Although this move seems to be a desperate move, it is a good strategy for this flustered Lin'an Mongol defender, after all, most of them can hold the city because of their loyalty and expectations to Zhang Hongfan, and if they can take Zhang Hongfan, this battle is afraid that it will be over.
"Nanbanzi, Nanban!" More than a dozen Mongolian cavalrymen outside the Cining Palace were coming quickly, and they were taken aback when they saw the figure of Baizhan Du, but they did not catch up, but turned their horses' heads. With more than a dozen people and hundreds of cavalry dueling, that is beyond our strength, the best way is to hurry up and close the city gate, facing the city gate guarded by crossbowmen, these southern barbarian cavalry can only look at the ocean and sigh unless they have the ability to reach the sky.
However, they reacted quickly, and Baizhan Du's reaction was not slow, Ye Yingwu urged the war horse without saying a word, and Baizhan quickly divided into three teams, bypassing Cining Palace and Kunning Palace, and went straight to surround it. Under their crotches are all horses selected from one battle after another, and their horsepower is even stronger than that of this group of Mongolian cavalry. Red flags fluttered, and they actually crossed the group of Mongolian cavalry who fled in a hurry in front of the Wende Palace.
"Put!" The Mongolian cavalry opened their bows and arrows, and shot when they turned around, which was Genghis Khan's trick to sweep the world, and the Mongolian cavalry naturally did not reach the point of forgetting their roots.
It's just that Baizhan had long expected that the Mongolian Tartars would come with such a hand, Jiang Tie shouted violently, and the cavalry under his command was like a pearl necklace with a broken line, suddenly scattered, and at the same time lay on the horse's back, one arrow after another roared over their heads, and Wu Chucai, who rushed from the other direction, also waved his hand, and the cavalry in front of him separated to both sides, because the cavalry who had fallen behind because of winding the crossbow had urged the horse to catch up, and at the same time pulled the trigger.
The Mongolian cavalry did not expect that there were still southern barbarians on the other side, and one arrow after another had accurately sunk into their backs. More than a dozen cavalrymen had already fallen off their horses at this time, while the remaining cavalry gritted their teeth and continued to rush forward.
The gate of the imperial city in the north has not been repaired since it was blasted open by Ye Yingwu in a violent way last time, and Zhang Hongfan did not arrange defenders here.
Once a hundred battles and the Tianwu Army accepted the entire Lin'an and the official family review.
Just a month later, the world has changed.
"Rush over!" Ye Yingwu quickly urged the war horse, once the Mongolian Tatars closed the Hening Gate, then a hundred battles would be like a trapped beast planted in a cage, and it would be difficult to make a difference.
The only remaining Mongol cavalry could no longer care about the approaching enemy behind them, and at the same time shouted at the city gate in front of them.
It seemed that all that remained in heaven and earth was the sound of the hooves of the horses and the hoarse but incessant shouts of the cavalry.
Not only Ye Yingwu, everyone's hearts were raised at this moment, looking at the tightly closed Hening Gate in front, as long as there were hundreds of Mongolian soldiers holding bows and crossbows at the city gate, it was enough to make it difficult for a hundred battles to get close, after all, Ye Yingwu didn't even have a decent shield here.
It's just that the hundred battles are smiling, and the Mongolian cavalry fleeing in front of them is like ashes, and there is no movement on the Hening Gate in front, as if there is no one.
Hundred battles have already caught up with the few Mongol cavalry who were lucky enough to run past half of the palace and slaughtered them all. And Jiang Tie turned over and dismounted, and rushed up to the Hening Gate with people, but Jiang Tie quickly poked his head out from the city gate: "Envoy, there is not a single Mongolian Tartar, and there is a cannon sound in the northwest Yongjinmen!" ”
Ye Yingwu was stunned, and immediately smiled: "Let's go, go to the city and have a look." ”
"Envoy, don't we just rush out of the city gate." Xiao Yangzi asked puzzled.
Ye Yingwu clapped his hands, walked up to the city gate step by step, stepped on the Hening Gate under his feet, saw the road he had walked, and remembered that he had walked here a month ago, when he was still new to Lin'an, except for the five thousand soldiers under the city gate, there was no basis for it, the city was the forbidden army of Senran, and the city was a hundred civil and military officials led by Eguanbo.
But this time, the city is empty, and the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty and the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty have all dissipated like a cloud.
Heningmen, Heningmen, you really watched all this go to prosperity and wither like an epiphany, if you have feelings, I don't know how you will feel. Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and patted the bricks of the city gate, strode to the bottom of the city tower, and could clearly see Lin'an with gunsmoke from the Hening Gate.
Fengyu Gate is also commonly known as Yongjin Gate in the world, and now it is shrouded in smoke and dust, I don't know how many Mongolian soldiers are gathering from all directions, no wonder there is no one here in Heningmen, I think it was transferred over.
You don't have to think about it to know that it must be Li Fu who made a fuss, Ye Yingwu shook his head lightly, but he just saw the figure that crossed the royal street surrounded by a team of guards, and the black flag with silver edges made him look very abrupt.
"Zhang Hongfan!" Ye Yingwu gritted his teeth, and Huo Ran turned around.
And Zhang Hongfan also seemed to notice something, and subconsciously looked around, but because the gate of Heningmen had been closed, he didn't know that Ye Yingwu was about to rush under his nose, and what attracted his attention was the Yongjin Gate shrouded in smoke and dust in the distance.
I didn't expect the Southern Barbarians to have a sailor to participate in the war, Zhang Hongfan is not a fool, the nearest sailor that Ye Yingwu can call, except for the small fleet that burned the Mongolian warship in Qiantangkou that day, there is only the Zhenjiang Mansion Sailor, the Zhenjiang Mansion Sailor is so powerful that it will attract the attention of the Mongols even if it is day and night, so Ye Yingwu simply took down Dusong Pass first, giving Zhang Hongfan an illusion that there was no sailor to participate in the war, and then took out the sailor at this critical juncture, Zhang Hongfan had to admit that he was indeed taken aback.
However, what surprised him even more was that the Zhenjiang Prefecture Naval Division of the Southern Barbarians had the ability to go south, which showed that the Xue army had not dragged the Zhenhai Navy in Lianghuai, and had now turned to the defensive, and it also showed that if Zhang Hongfan could not hold Lin'an in a short time, there would be no reinforcements.
On the day when Lin'an City is broken, I am afraid that it will be the time when I will die and die for my country. Zhang Hongfan sighed softly, and just wanted to urge his subordinates to hurry up and go to Yongjinmen, when there was a sudden undulating explosion sound from the north, which made Yuhangmen, who had been silent for a while, once again attract Zhang Hongfan's attention.
Only this time there was no smoke and dust, and there was no smoke in the wind.
"What's going on?!" Zhang Hongfan's face changed.
The earth-shattering sound of killing replaced the sound of cannons, and a red flag suddenly appeared in the distance, but it was not in the direction of Yuhangmen.
"General, General, it's not good!" A Mongolian centurion ran over in a panic, "General, the sailor of the Southern Barbarians suddenly attacked and blew up the water gate on the side of Yuhang Gate, and now the Southern Barbarian warship has entered the city, and Yuhang Gate will not be able to defend it!" ”
Southern Barbarian Water Master? Didn't the Southern Barbarian Water Master bombard Yongjinmen on the West Lake, why did he suddenly kill Yuhangmen?
Zhang Hongfan's heart tightened: "Quick, go to Yuhangmen with a certain person." ”
Divert the tiger from the mountain, and attack the west, Ye Yingwu, you really tried all your tricks to deal with a certain person, but it's a pity that a certain person doesn't have so many people on his hands now, so he can only be turned around by you like this. Maybe this embarrassment is your greatest pleasure.
At this moment, the sound of killing sounded from the streets and alleys not far away, and several Mongolian soldiers fell in front of Zhang Hongfan with blood on their faces. The war horse neighed, and the red flag was the first to jump into view, and the big word "leaf" on it already indicated the identity of the come.
"Ye Yingwu!" Zhang Hongfan's pupils dilated suddenly. (To be continued.) )
