Chapter 335: Taking the Old Mountains and Rivers for the King (Part II)
Zhang Hongfan slowly put down the blood-stained front-line emergency report, the once blazing eyes seemed to dissipate the last brilliance, this resolutely led 30,000 soldiers across the ocean to conquer Lin'an, the marshal and general of the Mongolian Southern Expedition, has realized that he is not creating a new situation for Mongolia, but sending these 30,000 elite sons and daughters to hell.
Lin'an is like an isolated island besieged by the red tide, the tide is rising, although it looks like there are more than 10,000 people now, Ye Yingwu has to break a front tooth if he wants to lay Lin'an, but Zhang Hongfan himself knows very well that for Lin'an, Ye Yingwu is bound to win, this red tide will not stop advancing, but will only roll forward, and eventually submerge this isolated island.
Maybe the continuous conquest in the past year has made Ye Yingwu's Tianwu Army and Zhenhai all systems have reached the maximum, and a steady stream of recruits still need to be sharpened by blood and fire, and there is no way to compare with those veterans before, but in fact, compared to it, Ye Yingwu is already good, and the fierce battles in the past year have been endless, and Mongolia is not a lost army and almost useless soldiers.
In particular, a great battle in Xiangyang cost 150,000 horses, which was the hard work of Mongolia for many years since Kublai Khan's accession to the throne. Later, the Song army made a three-way northern expedition, and the Mongols were defeated and retreated, just to be able to shrink their forces to hold Heluo, and its weakness can be seen.
However, in the near future, the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command will also be reduced to nothing, and it will be Mongolia that loses the ability to compete with Ye Yingwu in Shandong, and the cowardly Xue army commanded by Shi Tianze and the southern expeditionary army commanded by Boyan will become the only force along the long river.
In the end, who can win the world, now we can see the clues.
Ye Yingwu, Ye Yingwu, you are really an unborn character, you can actually pierce the disguise of Mongolia's foreign powerhouse in just one year, and even use the hand of Mongolia to sweep away the last barrier to your arrival in Dabao. Without the existence of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family, Ye Yingwu didn't even have to think about being a powerful minister first and then usurping the throne, which was quite complicated and would always leave a bad reputation.
Walking step by step from Xingzhou, Ye Yingwu seems to have encountered too many coincidences, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the embodiment of Ye Yingwu's true ability. can unite the huge Tianwu military system around him, and can make Mongolia and his own strength disappear through victory after victory, and finally even reach a situation of suppression.
If you were in the Great Mongolia, if you could serve the Great Khan, it would be great, and fighting with you is definitely the most enjoyable thing in the world.
It's a pity that it backfired, we are opponents, and a certain Hongfan will also become a more dazzling stepping stone on your glorious path.
Sighing softly, Zhang Hongfan barely supported himself to stand up, carefully arranged the somewhat wrinkled placket, and then set his eyes on the jade seal presented by Zhao Yu on the table, which symbolized the imperial power of the Great Song Dynasty, and seemed worthless at this moment.
Although all these efforts have made you a wedding dress, do you Ye Yingwu think that this Lin'an can be easily given to you. If you want to win Lin'an, you have to weigh it.
What a certain Zhang Hongfan has to do now is to do everything possible to weaken Ye Yingwu's strength and drag Ye Yingwu in Lin'an, so as to buy more time for Mongolia and the Great Khan. With the ability of the Great Khan, Zhang Hongfan believed that as long as he was given enough time, he would definitely be able to defeat Ye Yingwu.
Mongolia is now suffering from too rapid expansion, as long as it can be steady and steady, it will definitely be able to push the front back to Xiangyang and under the city of Lin'an!
"Come on, beat the drums and gather the generals!"
Several heralds went quickly, and Zhang Hongfan subconsciously glanced back at the map behind him, Dusongguan and Xiaoshan have been circled with cinnabar, and there are also a lot of cinnabar red dots near Yanguan in the north.
Ye Yingwu, how will you attack this Lin'an?
Here, there are still hundreds of thousands of Lin'an people who have not left, and you will not ignore their lives.
————————————————-
Striding up to Xiaoshan, Ye Yingwu could already see the faint outline of Lin'an City on the other side of the Qiantang River. The sound of footsteps behind him came, and Li Si walked up the stairs side by side.
"Subordinates see the envoy." Seeing that Ye Yingwu didn't look back, he bowed his hand softly.
Ye Yingwu turned around, with a hint of a smile on his face: "It's a pity, you came just in time, and look at the splendid mountains and rivers of Lin'an, Qiantang, but it's a pity that the sky is gloomy now, if the wind is beautiful and the sun is sparkling, there are white sails on the river and sea, and it is beautiful to come." ”
"What the envoy sees now is not the beautiful scenery of Qiantang," Li Si couldn't help but chuckle and replied, "It must be the city opposite." ”
"Life is like a dream, who would have thought that in a few days, a certain person would already be standing under Lin'an City at one time, looking at the land that was handed over to Zhang Hongfan and had to be taken back in person," Ye Yingwu's voice carried unconcealable emotion and expectation, "The world is really unpredictable, but since it has come to this point, there is nothing to hesitate and regret." ”
Li sighed and stopped, Ye Yingwu looked at the vast Qiantang River again: "This is a certain chosen path, and step by step is about to come to the end." ”
After being silent for a moment, Li Si solemnly bowed his hand to Ye Yingwu: "Congratulations to the envoy, this road is not the end, but only a new starting point." ”
"Don't talk about this," Ye Yingwu chuckled, "You and I are not such old men, why do you need to talk so heavily." Brother Changxi, the navy departments in the north town are under the command of Li Shuzhang, and he is still very relieved, but now he is worried about the south all the way. Don't forget that there is no feint attack and main attack in this battle, as long as it is a son under a certain Ye Yingwu, even if he is desperate, he will rush into Lin'an City. ”
The look on Li Si's face also became more and more solemn: "Please rest assured, the sailors are all ready, although we don't have many warships, but as long as the Zhen Navy restrains the Mongolian Tatars, it should be easy to conquer the water gate in a battle." ”
Ye Yingwu nodded: "A certain one rushed directly into Lin'an with five hundred battles as the first batch, and the rebels who followed must follow closely, and be sure to take down the line of Phoenix Mountain, Chongtianguan, Shifo Temple and Brahma Temple, and quickly advance to Qibao Mountain." Only condescending can be invincible. ”
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of cannon in the distance, Li Si and Ye Yingwu glanced at each other, and immediately understood that it was the town navy that had already made a move. Ye Yingwu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "This Li Shuzhang is really going to do it without saying a word, but the town navy has already done it, and we can't be bad, pass on a certain order, and prepare to attack the city!" ”
"Obey!" Li sighed loudly.
Ye Yingwu took one last look at the Qiantang River monk and the silent south of Lin'an, and couldn't help but take a long breath, this is a certain Lin'an, this is a certain mountain and river. From beginning to end, I didn't plan to let you Zhang Hongfan give it up, since a certain Ye Yingwu was already standing under the city, then take it yourself.
"Jiang Tie, Wu Chucai, Xiao Yangzi!" Ye Yingwu quickly walked down the hill as he gave an order aloud, "Let the hundred battles be assembled and get on the boat." ”
"No!" The three generals gave up their hands at the same time.
————————————————————-
"Boom!" The sound of explosions on the Yuhang Gate rose and fell one after another, and the Mongolian soldiers were hiding under the Shangcheng Trail or even the city wall, and no one dared to enter the city gate tower and the Tibetan soldier cave in the city wall. With such a fierce artillery fire, as long as you are not careful, you may be shocked to death.
The soldiers who had escaped from Dusong Pass had already told them about the power and danger of this firearm, but at this moment, most of the Mongolian soldiers were still excited. This bombardment, I'm afraid there are not a few people left in the city!
"What are you doing in a daze, the firearms of the Southern Barbarians are no longer called, they are all rushed up to Lao Tzu!" A commander roared angrily at his men and urged them to get to the city.
And the sound of horses' hooves sounded, Zhang Hongfan rode forward, saw the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. The so-called "defending the city must defend the wilderness", Geling and Qixia Mountain outside Lin'an City are excellent garrisons, but Zhang Hongfan does not have the courage to let people out, the Southern Barbarians have such a powerful firearm, and even the strongest camp will be easily wiped to the ground, Zhang Hongfan has personally experienced this.
Therefore, instead of pulling people out to die, it is better to rely on the strong city wall of Lin'an, and temporarily block the fierce firearm bombardment of the southern barbarians. It's just that what makes Zhang Hongfan frightened is not the earth-shattering and dazzling light and sound, but compared with his previous time in Xiangyang, the firearms of the southern barbarians now seem to be more sophisticated.
This is definitely not a good thing, which shows that the Nanban has become more and more proficient in this new type of firearm, and has been able to produce and manufacture it with uniform specifications. Previously, the assault rifle of the Southern Barbarians was indeed very powerful, but because of the poor manufacturing materials, although it could be produced in a unified manner, it was still difficult to change the fact that its range was too close, and it was difficult to play a big role unless the Mongolian cavalry came in front of him.
But the new type of firearm in front of us has clearly overcome those obstacles.
"Bang!" A loud bang came, and Zhang Hongfan felt the corners of his eyebrows jump.
Several explosives hit the city tower at the same time, the city tower that used to be the symbol and symbol of the visitors from the north and the south to look at Lin'an, the city tower that was once the last barrier of the Great Song Dynasty, finally exploded violently in the constantly beating light, I don't know how many carved beams and paintings became powder at this moment, and I don't know how many wood and stones rolled to sweep the Mongolian soldiers who had just run up the city wall.
Zhang Hongfan's face became more and more pale, this once symbol of the Great Song Dynasty finally dissipated in front of him, Zhang Hongfan understood more and more why Ye Yingwu wanted to take the way of attacking, because this ruthless Ye Yuanjun was using this method to fight for everything possible to erase the symbol that once existed in the Great Song Dynasty.
And all this can be blamed on Zhang Hongfan, in the hearts of the people, Ye Yingwu is still the one who drove away the Mongolian Tartars, so as to exchange them for a clear and clear sky. Everything was so flawless. Zhang Hongfan could only smile bitterly.
In the face of Ye Yingwu's already laid out, he didn't have the ability to crack it, so he could only silently watch all this become a reality.
The explosion sounded again, Zhang Hongfan realized that something was wrong, quickly jumped off the horse, and roared: "All the people in the city are withdrawn, all are withdrawn!" ”
I really underestimated the iron heart of the southern barbarians outside the city!
The brief shelling that ended with the collapse of the tower just now was just a trick of the Southern Barbarians, and all they wanted to do was to make an illusion of attack, so that a new group of Mongol soldiers would go up to the city and die. But Zhang Hongfan understood too late, and the trick of the southern barbarians had already succeeded.
"Ye Yingwu, you are really vicious!" Zhang Hongfan's face was gloomy, and he could wring out the water, and the hundreds of people who went to the city just now have less than two or three who have escaped.
It's just that this time Zhang Hongfan really wronged Ye Yingwu, it was not Ye Yingwu who used this trick, but Li Fu and Yang Ting in the back of the town's navy, these two are also unscrupulous guys who have always tried to reduce sacrifices, and the attack on Dusong Pass has made them feel heartache by killing and injuring hundreds of people, and in the face of this taller and stronger Lin'an City, of course, they have to use their brains to come up with some tricks.
"Quick, push the Semen knife cart over." Zhang Hongfan roared, now he can't take care of the city, and he knows very well that the Southern Barbarians will not stupidly carry the ladder to attack the city wall, the deserters of Dusong Pass have made it clear, the Southern Barbarians have not even prepared large-scale siege equipment, and all the explosives package directly blew up the city gate, which is simple and effective.
Therefore, in order to take precautions, Zhang Hongfan simply transferred four of the only six Saimen knife cars in Lin'an City at one time, and commanded people to block the city gate to death. Don't you southern barbarians have the ability to blow up the city gates, but I want to see how hard it takes you to blow up the city gates.
Outside the Yuhang Gate, it was like another scene.
A row of flying thunder cannons aimed at the wall in front of them, roaring in disregard. In addition to the queue is still neat, it can be clearly seen that each non-commissioned officer does not have a nervous look on his face, but some still have a smile, as if he is not here to fight, but to see the excitement.
Li Fu looked at Yuhangmen, his face showed a relaxed look, and looked at Yang Ting, who was bored and playing with the weeds in his hands: "Do you think Zhang Hongfan is desperately blocking the door?" ”
Yang Ting couldn't help laughing: "You don't have to guess to know, after all, the Tianwu Army and the Zhen Navy have fought so many siege battles, and the method of blowing up the door with explosives is really notorious, Dusong Pass was blown up by us like this, if Zhang Hongfan has no more defense, he will be called a general." ”
"It's just a pity that Zhang Hongfan treats us as fools, how can there be a reason not to change the trick with the old one." Li Fu sighed, "What's more, this is Lin'an City, if we use such an ordinary method to attack the city, I'm sorry for the name." ”
Yang Ting smiled even more happily, and looked at a Yu Hou beside him: "Hurry up along the canal to see, why is this Zhenjiang Mansion sailor so slow, we are all faster than them along the way." If you don't come again, there will be nothing to do with Zhang Shun in this Lin'anke. ”
Li Fu looked at the sky: "This gloomy and no sun, I don't know when, Lao Yang, you are guarding here, and you will take five thousand Erlang to go, after all, the envoy and Li Changxi are both righteous troops, and it is not so easy to fight with five hundred battles alone." ”
Restraining his smile, Yang Ting nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, there is a certain look here, even if it is a strong attack, it can tear a hole in Yuhangmen." ”
The sky can already see a piece of white sails, with the blowing wind getting closer and closer, Li Fu, who originally turned to leave, saw this scene, and couldn't help laughing: "Count your luck, it is estimated that the northern half of Lin'an will change the master in half an hour." Zhang Shun, how did this kid come so slowly, otherwise he would have been able to taste the refreshment of the first horse stepping on Lin'an. ”
Yang Ting looked at Li Fu's bitter smile, and suddenly gloated and stomped his feet, which was also considered Li Fu's bad luck, the battle of Dusong Pass should have been his first battle to break through the Youling Pass and open the north gate of Lin'an, but who would have thought that the Zhenhai generals would stubbornly make the feint attack into the main attack, plus the Mongolian Tatar guard Angier was careless about the enemy, but it made Yang Ting take the lead, and now it is the case.
"But since Zhang Shun is here, he can't be cheaper, and there is a sailor warship that can also grab the Yongjinmen more easily." The fleet is getting closer and closer, Li Fu can't help but laugh when he thinks about it.
The two of them stood outside Lin'an City, facing the wind, with red flags fluttering and military formations behind them, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Taking the old mountains and rivers for the king, this is the last battle for Ye Yuanjun to reach the end of the road, since everyone already has the heart of the dragon, naturally they can't be left behind. (To be continued.) )
