Chapter 276: The Battle of Anfeng

The result was naturally not what I expected,

The wooden target on the side of the mountain was blown to pieces by the Great Song Dragon cannon, and even the ground was blown out of a big hole.

After everyone returned to me, whether it was Jia Yidao and other ministers of the DPRK and China, or the newly appointed officers of the Imperial Forest Army, they all sighed, in addition to the shock or shock in their hearts, is this still a weapon, such a powerful weapon can only be explained by an artifact, and there is really no other word to describe it, when the four well-informed envoys were also stunned after watching the artillery test firing, not to mention these people now,

This is an era that is easy to create gods, the backwardness of science and technology makes it easier for people in ancient times to believe in the existence of gods, as a traverser, am I not also the guardian god of China, even if it is not, I want to make myself a great god,

With the establishment of the Imperial Forest Army, firearms will gradually become popular, although this is my secret, but the number of people who know will naturally become more and more, I let Jia Rudao and others watch the test firing of artillery, the purpose is to let them understand that I am the real Son of Heaven, is the true Son of Heaven who responds to the mandate of heaven, don't have any different intentions, make any tricks, at the same time, I also let the senior generals of the Imperial Forest Army know that the Great Song Army is an invincible existence, and is no longer a Mongolian iron cavalry across the battlefield,

Jia Rudao's heart is more complicated, is this what Lian Zhen said about the upper position, this point, the monk seems to be right, and he is also glad that he did not immediately tear his face with Zhao Yu, just imagine, if this so-called Great Song Dragon Cannon comes to his mansion a few times, what will be the consequences,

However, for Lian Zhen's statement that "the upper position cannot be sustained", Jia Rudao began to have some doubts.

"Ten years of peace." Jia Rudao remembered Song Lizong's prophecy, should he wait so aggrievedly for ten years, or should he cater to the upper position, the Zhongxing of the Great Song Dynasty, would he like to see it?

I waited for everyone to come to their senses before saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the dragon cannon of my Great Song Dynasty artifact, and it is also an artillery in the real sense, not a stone-throwing cannon as I said in the past, I have hundreds of such dragon cannons, you can tell me, with such an artifact, will I still be afraid of the Mongolian cavalry, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and the recovery of rivers and mountains, will it be just a dream." ”

"What, there are hundreds of them." Fan Wenhuan didn't know whether to be excited or panicked, and asked in surprise,

"Yes, that's right." I replied without hesitation, of course, I know very well that there is only one such artillery at present, but since there is already a first one, it means that the technology for making artillery is feasible.

Fan Wenhuan continued: "If these hundreds of dragon cannons are fired together, it will be enough to destroy the heavens and the earth." ”

I smiled: "Fan Aiqing is right, I plan to build hundreds of these dragon cannons within two years, and then it will not be a hundred salvos, but hundreds of dragon cannons, of course, I can do what Fan Aiqing said to destroy the world." ”

"Your Majesty, that means that our Imperial Forest Army will also deploy this kind of artifact." Zhang Shijie, who saw the artillery for the first time, couldn't bear it anymore and asked excitedly,

"Of course it will, not only the Imperial Forest Army, but I plan to match all the armies of my dynasty, ladies and gentlemen, now you all know what an artifact is."

"Back to the emperor, the ministers and others will know." Several brigade commanders of the Imperial Guards replied first,

"Well, this artifact is a first-class secret of our dynasty, you need to keep it strictly confidential, no matter who it is, once it is leaked, it will be dealt with by military law, Xiao Qi."

"The little ones are here."

"Spread my will, without my order, no one can enter the Gunpowder Division at will."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Thank you."

"The minister is here."

"As the barrier of the Gunpowder Division, the Imperial Guards also have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding, and if there is a loss, I will also hold you jointly and severally responsible."

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister promises not to let a moth fly in."

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, it's already lunch time, return to the Royal Forest Army garrison with me, and let's eat in the army today."

"Yes, your ministers obey."

Three days later, Shen Mo and Yun Zhongfei returned to Lin'an,

It can be seen from the tired but extremely excited expressions of the two that they won, Xia Gui won, and the Luzhou army won.

"Minister Shen Mo, Minister Yun Zhongfei see Your Majesty." After the two returned, they rushed to the imperial study without stopping.

"Two Aiqing, hard work, sit down, drink a cup of freshly brewed hot tea first, at this time, it should be very cold in the north."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Mo said, "Your Majesty, it is already freezing in the north, and when the minister left, it snowed heavily in the area of An Fengjun. ”

"It's snowing, fortunately, Xia Gui chose the right time, if it's three days late, it's inconvenient for the army to move, it seems that God is also helping me."

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you act on a snowy day, you won't even be able to find that secret path."

"Well, Shen Mo, let's talk about the process."

Shen Mo drank two cups of hot tea and said: "Your Majesty, when the ministers and Yun Zhongfei received the order, they immediately selected twenty imperial guards, and set off at five o'clock in the morning on October 22. ”

I set off on the morning of October 22, and in two days, I rushed to Luzhou, which is 1,600 miles away from Lin'an.

"Arrived at the Xia general's mansion, the ministers rested for two days, at the end of the 26th day (11 o'clock in the evening), the ministers accompanied the 800 Luzhou soldiers led by General Xia to the south bank of the Huai River Anfeng Army, these 800 soldiers are very good, the speed of the march at night is not slow at all, although it is not as good as the imperial guards, but it also shows the quality of the elite soldiers, on the evening of the 27th, the troops arrived at the foothills south of the Anfeng army, after a short rest, the troops under the leadership of General Xia Gui, detoured to the west, all the way are mountain paths, In some places, there was not even a road, and after about four hours of difficult shuttle, they arrived at their destination in the early morning of the 28th, that is, the west of Yangjia Town, and the troops lurked in the dense forest for a whole day, preparing to launch a sneak attack at half of the morning of the 29th (4 o'clock in the morning). ”

"The mountain road is rugged, and it is difficult for Xia Gui, the old general."

"Yes, Your Majesty, although General Xia said that he said that he was practicing martial arts, but after all, he was already old, and when he was halfway through, his physical strength was exhausted.

"Well, Shen Mo, continue."

"Although the Mongolian defenders in Yangjia Town have gone through a carnival, they are still heavily guarded, after consulting with General Xia, the minister and Yun Zhongfei each led ten guards, quietly sneaked in, and after eliminating seven or eight secret posts next to the gate, they were still discovered by the Mongolian guards, and when the ministers saw this, they lit the gunpowder and other flammable materials they carried, and opened the west gate of the town, General Xia saw the fire as a signal, and immediately commanded eight hundred strong men to rush into the enemy camp."

For a master like Shen Mo, war will make him excited, especially the first real war, the more Shen Mo said, the more excited he became: "Your Majesty, the war between the armies and the duel between martial artists are completely different, the spectacle of the scene is so spectacular, and the cruelty is indeed an eye-opener for the minister." ”

Shen Mo drank another cup of tea before continuing: "General Xia took the lead, wielding a long knife in his hand, taking the lead in the attack, the ministers did not dare to slack off, followed closely by General Xia, after a while, the ministers felt that the long sword was not suitable for a war of this scale, and they took the big sword and spear in the hands of the enemy, fortunately, everyone was quite proficient in all kinds of weapons, escorting General Xia to fight in the enemy camp, those Mongolian soldiers deserved to be the best soldiers in the world, and they were really well-trained, although they had just gone through a carnival, they were a little caught off guard at the beginning, Nearly 200 soldiers were killed by our army, but they soon launched a counterattack under the organization of the Mongolian commander Hu Chi, the commander of the town's guards, and gradually stabilized their positions by relying on the advantage of large numbers. ”

I nodded and said, "According to prior information, there should be two thousand Menghan soldiers in Yangjia Town. ”

"Your Majesty, the number of enemies in Yangjia Town is roughly the same as expected." Shen Mo said, "The Mongols are very fierce, dividing our army into three pieces, intending to encircle and annihilate it, however, the eight hundred daredevils selected by General Xia are not mediocre, although they are weak against strong, but they are not afraid at all, and they do not fall behind, not long after, they heard a roar from the north gate of Yangjia Town, and the ministers knew that it should be the broken army of Yangzhou outside the north gate that launched an attack according to the agreement, and the Mongolian defenders knew that it was not good, and strictly ordered the five hundred Mongolian soldiers who defended the north gate to desperately defend the town gate, and they were armed with scimitars, He personally led 600 Mongolian soldiers to surround the Luzhou army of this part of the minister, and the defender Hu Chi also knew very well that as long as he could quickly capture the enemy commander who had infiltrated the town before the north gate was breached, he could turn the tide of the war, otherwise he would definitely lose. ”

"The battle is so fierce, those Mongols must not have thought that our army would dare to take the initiative to attack." Listening to Shen Mo's narration, I was also a little excited, although I knew that our army won in the end, but this process also made me nervous,

"Your Majesty, the war has come to this point, the key is to look at the time, eight hundred daredevils dragged the defenders in the town, then only need to break the town gate, you can win a big victory, at that time the ministers and others did not know the positive situation, it is expected that the main force led by General Xia Shao must also have a fierce battle with the main force of the defenders in the south of Yangjia Town, the ministers and other Luzhou troops have about 300 people, and the other two groups of men and horses saw the Mongolian soldiers besieging their own commander, and they also desperately came to converge, but they were blocked by the periphery, General Xia saw this, and danced a long knife in his hand, While shouting loudly, "The reinforcements have arrived, I am a good son of the Song Dynasty, just hold off the enemy for a moment, and I will break into the door of the army, and then the internal and external attacks will be won, and the Luzhou soldiers, fight," Under the encouragement of General Xia, everyone cheered together, "Fight,'"
