The traitor is finally on Sanjiang, the competition on this list is so fierce, Luo Luo begged for the support of the big guys, and most of the people who haven't collected it have accepted Luo Luo's books, so by the way, let's vote for a few more recommendation votes!

The sound of trumpets sounded, echoing across the plains on the west bank of the Grand Canal. The horn was blown with all the strength of a Song scout on horseback, and a low whimpering voice swept across the plain to the bank of the canal.

On the west bank of the canal, an army that can't see the end of the line is moving forward! This army consisted mainly of foot soldiers and carts drawn by oxen. The foot soldiers were inside, leaning against the river bank, and the military vehicles were outside, connected from end to end, stretching endlessly, just covering the other side of the foot soldiers. And on these military carts, there are either all kinds of equipment, deer, horses, camp tents, or full of rice and flour bags.

However, Chen Dexing's artillery vehicles were not among them, and these stone machines were now Jia Yidao's treasures, and they all "enjoyed" the treatment of foot soldiers, and slowly moved forward under the cover of other vehicles. Chen Dexing rode his horse and walked behind the artillery convoy, watching the small but powerful artillery trucks lined up in a neat queue, and the artillery sergeants quietly drove forward, with a smug smile on his face.

It has only been more than two months since the soul was resurrected, and he has already pulled out such a small team, although there are only 2,000 people, at most the size of a regiment in later generations, but the officers at all levels are their own brothers. Although this guy doesn't necessarily have to be a close friend, it's always a good start!

In troubled times, the barrel of a gun is the capital to survive! It is also the capital that supports the sky and turns the tide!

'When there will be 10,000 troops and 50 galleys, there will be no place to go all over the coast of East Asia. Chen Dexing was thinking about this, and the sound of a whimpering horn came from afar. This is a signal to call the police in case of an enemy!

On the side of the canal, the generals who were marching with their heads covered all raised their heads and looked nervously to the southwest. This is not under the city of Yangzhou, but an empty field, except for a canal, the army has no basis! The generals of the two Huai Song armies, even if they were not old enough to fight in battle, knew the great name of the Mongolian iron cavalry in the field battle through hearing and witnessing!

Even in the "victory" two months ago, six armies of the Song army were broken by the charge of the Mongolian iron cavalry! At least more than half of the soldiers who now followed Jia Yidao south escaped from the Mongols' scimitars. If the same "victory" takes place on the bank of the canal far away from Yangzhou City, without the crossbow arrows falling like rain on the head of Yangzhou City, even if it is a battle against the water, I am afraid it will be difficult to bargain with the cooperation of the Mongolian iron cavalry and the Hanhou foot soldiers, right?

"The Privy Council has an order, the whole army stops and rests in place!" As soon as he galloped, on horseback was a knight with a loud voice, loudly conveying Jia Yidao's orders.

"Stop!" Chen Dexing shouted loudly and gave orders to the soldiers under his command.

"Qingzhi, is the decisive battle going to start here?" Huang Zhishen rode a donkey and followed Chen Dexing out of battle, and asked a little nervously at this time.

"The terrain here is good, and it is the battlefield for the battle of the great army!" The answer to the question was Lu Shihu, the second generation of the Anfeng Lu family, although he is a civil official, he can also go into battle. Now he was draped all over his body, riding a horse and following Chen Dexing.

"It should be here!" Chen Dexing is tall, and he rides a tall horse from the Western Regions, with a wide line of sight, and when he looks around, he can take in the surrounding terrain. The terrain here is indeed more conducive to the battle of the army, the canal behind it is almost straight to the south, and there is no stream to rely on, even if the Song army is deployed on its back, it cannot use the terrain to cover its flanks.

On the right side of the Song army, there is a large area of barren farmland, as far as the eye can see, and there are two small fortresses, which unfold along the canal in turn, which should be the villages of the Song people. Because of the continuous war in the Lianghuai area, there are no undefended villages, even if they are close to the bank of the Yangtze River, the villages are built like a small castle. The young and strong men in the stockade are all strong bows and swords and guns. The people are fierce - most of the people who are not strong have already gone to the south of the Yangtze River, but although there are no Mongolian Tatars there, the official gentry and landlords are not as reasonable as the Jiangbei - compared with the south of the Yangtze River, the burden of the peasants in the frontline areas of Lianghuai, Jinghu, Sichuan, and Xiangyang Prefecture in western Beijing is much lighter, and the taxes and land rents are relatively low, and they can also be exempted from taxes in the event of invasion from the north and the south. There is no other reason, it is precisely because they all have swords and bows in their hands, and they are already part of the defense system of the Song army, so they naturally can't oppress too much. If the peasants were to be forced to rebel, the Mongols in the north would be cheaper.

"Those two forts are still in our hands?"

Chen Dexing had already seen a large banner with the character Song hanging on the walls of the fortress, which had obviously not yet been occupied by the Mongols - this kind of fortress was very strong, and there were more than 1,000 young people in each fortress, even the old and weak, women and children were worthy of battle. If you really want to fight hard, it is enough for the attacker to drink a pot.

"That's what the Tartars deliberately didn't fight," although Lu Shihu had never been to the front line, he had a lot of experience with the Mongols' tactics. "The Tartars have always thought themselves invincible in the field, and even if they leave two forts for us, they will win. What Liu Gan is most worried about now is not to eat on the edge of the canal, but to cross the river to the east of the canal. ”

At this moment, in the canal, there are still dozens of warships of the Song army slowly sailing, including two 23-wheeled vehicles. They were all warships of the two Huai Naval Armies, and they followed all the way from Yangzhou City. As long as Jia Rudao gave an order, these sailors could immediately use small boats to build pontoon bridges over the canal for the army to cross the river.

"Lu Jiyi, are you saying that the Tartars deliberately left a flaw, just to lure us into relying on these two fortresses for a decisive battle?" Huang Zhishen on the side shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the privy minister will still build a bridge over the canal, right?" ”

"No!" Chen Dexing shook his head, "If the privy minister wants to fight, he won't build a bridge, and if he builds a bridge, he won't have the shape of a battle." ”

"What if the northern captives occupy two fortresses?" Although Huang Zhishen is familiar with the art of war, after all, he is a businessman and has no place to learn practical tactics, and now he has become a curious baby and keeps asking.

"If that were the case, we wouldn't have come." Chen Dexing smiled and said to Huang Zhishen, "Million, remember, sixty percent of the war is won." The winning odds are at most sixty percent, and it will be difficult to fight any more. If Liu Gan doesn't sell a few flaws, what should he do if we turn around and walk back to Yangzhou? Really go to storm the Yangtze Bridge? ”

"Then the Privy Council ......"

"Of course, I also want to let Liu Gan see the winning side, so that he will fight with us! Otherwise, he patted his ass and left, where would we go to cut off our heads to repay the merits? ”

While the three of them were talking, the horn of the troop transfer sounded again, and then the general order was passed over and over again. First, the strong brave army came out first, divided into two parts to occupy two fortresses as a support for the army. Then the seven armies of Wufeng, Dangyong, Xiongsheng, Zhenhuai, Wuding, Xiongbian, and Zhongjie received orders to start a battle formation between the two fortresses. At the same time, the convoy that had been covering the right flank of the army was also divided into three, and the grain wagons were concentrated on the bank of the canal. The vehicles transporting equipment (the equipment has been removed), the deer, the camp tent (the camp tent has also been unloaded), the horses and other items were also separated from the two armies of Xiongwu and Yongrui to the north and south - this was to cover the two wings of the army with the chariot array, the deer and the horses.

On the entire battlefield, the sound of shouting, passwords, and footsteps everywhere seemed to be chaotic into a pot of porridge, but if you look down from a high altitude, it is not difficult to find that columns of Song army armor soldiers are moving in an orderly manner, and in just a moment, the shelf for the decisive battle is set up west of the canal.
