Chapter 32: The first battle against Gangneung Castle

On September 25, the third year of Tianfu, Li Yuqin led a thousand tooth troops south to Xiangyang.

On the 28th, they arrived at Xiangyang City.

met his father-in-law, Zhao Kuangning, the king of Chu, in the Jieshuai Mansion, and after waiting for a day, Zhao Kuangming also arrived.

Zhao Kuangning ascended to the court.

First of all, I said a high-sounding reason, the people of Jingnan are in the midst of fire and water, and as Xinjiang ministers, they have to hang the people and fight crimes, and deter the ministers.

"Order, Dengzhou assassin Shi Kuangming left behind Jingnan and led the army to relieve Jiangling."

"Command."

Zhao Kuangming took the order.

Zhao Kuangning looked at Li Yu sitting beside him, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, in this Jingnan war, there is still a shortage of supervisors, I don't know if Your Highness is interested?" ”

It was also a loss to Zhao Kuangning to think of it, and let his son-in-law supervise the old man.

"It's all up to my father-in-law."

Look at the face given.

"Okay, then His Highness will temporarily supervise the army and go to Jingnan to relax."

It stands to reason that as the supervising army, he should act together with the commander Zhao Kuangming, but Zhao Kuangning meant to let Li Yu control the rear army and transport grain and grass supplies.

But Li Yu really came to participate in the war, and he asked to be a striker.

The two fathers-in-law didn't do it, and they didn't dare.

The princess had just become pregnant, how dare they let the prince take the lead? In case something goes wrong, the two daughters don't hate them to death?!

"Never. His Royal Highness is either the rear army or the middle army, and the front army should not go, it is too dangerous. ”

"The Chinese army, the rear army is not interesting."

Looking at King De, who was eager to try, the two old men were speechless.

If the gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, why does His Highness still go forward.

How did they know that Li Yu brought enough ammunition and weapons for this trip to Jingnan, just to train these thousand musketeers.

A soldier who has never seen blood will not grow.

The Jingnan Jiedu Embassy now only governs Jiangling Prefecture and the four prefectures of Li, Lang, Gui, and Xia.

In the east of Jiangling Prefecture, Yingzhou and Fuzhou are all under the jurisdiction of the Jingxiang Jiedu envoy.

The former army was a naval army of 10,000 people, all the way south from the Han River, straight to the longevity of Yingzhou.

When the Chinese army reached longevity, the former army entered Fuzhou along the Han River.

Zhao Kuangming dispatched 2,000 township soldiers from Yingzhou to accompany the army.

Left 5,000 soldiers in Changshou to meet the rear army, the middle army opened and advanced along the route of the front army.

According to the operational route, the front army needed to take advantage of Huainan, turn into the Dajiang River at Hanyang, Chuzhou, and go southwest to Baling, Yuezhou, and then to the northwest into Jingzhou, and directly reach Jiangling.

In fact, this route makes a big detour, and the distance is not the closest. However, the action of the army, the important thing is logistics supply, there are rivers and rivers along the way, which is convenient for transportation and saves manpower, although the road is farther, Zhao Kuangming still chooses to go this way.

Li Yu proposed that he lead his subordinates to kick the shore in Jia Yan and penetrate directly into Jiangling, taking the enemy by surprise.

At first, Zhao Kuangming disagreed, but then it really didn't make sense, Zhao Kuangming asked the 1,000 pro-soldiers with him to follow, so he reluctantly agreed.

In ancient wars, most of the time was on the march, and there was not much time for real wars.

No, after coming ashore from Jia Yan, it was a march, all the way to the southwest.

Li Yu's musketeers carried a large amount of ammunition, as well as ten mine carts, and hundreds of carts of grain and grass.

Don't think about hunting rabbits and pheasants in the mountains as military food, that's.

The 1,000 pro-soldiers on the way were unlucky, they opened the road in front, it was really a bridge between the mountains and the water, and Li Yu's own 1,000 musketeers couldn't get wet, so they could only work hard.

But they also had to take care of the carriages and horses that the team carried, and they were as tired as their grandsons when they opened the road in front and pushed the carts behind.

The clothes on Li Yu's body have long been soaked, don't look at it now that it is October, but this area is cold in the morning and evening, hot at noon, and there is fog floating in the mountains and forests.

They had traveled more than a hundred miles in this primeval forest, and finally came out.

In front of me is a dirt road.

Ask the nearby villagers, this road can go north to Jingmen, and to the south is Jiangling.

So I repaired in the village for one night, and the next morning, I buried the pot and made rice, and set off at the right time to go straight to Gangneung.

They crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains, and stayed overnight.

It also intercepted several waves of messengers from Dangyang and Jingmen on the way.

It turned out that they got the news, but they were intercepted by Li Yu.

Three days later, Li Yu's eyes opened up, and a majestic city stood by the water more than ten miles in front of him.

You can hear the sound of the river rushing here.

"Lord, fifteen miles ahead is Jiangling City."

"Revisit."

"The whole army is encamped."

Li Yu's two thousand troops set up a large camp fifteen miles north of Jiangling City.

Gangneung Castle.

Lei Yangong stood on the city wall and watched the enemy troops who were busy camping in the distance.

"Hehe, Zhao Jieshuai is too underestimated by me, right? Just because of this, the men and horses want to capture my Gangneung? ”

"Yes, Jie Shuai. He Zhao Kuangning takes himself too seriously, and he is willing to take the lead. ”

"Yes, exactly. Take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and surprise attack! ”

Lei Yangong stroked his big yellow beard, squinted his yellow eyes, and laughed.

"The last general obeys!"

The generals shook off their armor, got off the city wall, and opened the city.

……

Li Yu had already sent out a bright and dark sentry to keep an eye on the movement of the city gate.

There was a battalion of musketeers on this side, and they did not participate in the camp at all.

"Report ~~~~ Lord, a team of military horses came to Jiangling, there are about 3,000, and the banner is Yajiang Lei."

"Revisit."

As soon as Li Yu waved his hand, Fang Xing ran over.

"My lord."

"Three thousand enemy troops are attacking the camp, and your camp will meet the enemy."

"Yes."

Fang Xing immediately ran back to his team, took the whole battalion and five mine carts out of the camp, lined up, and prepared to meet the enemy.

I heard the sound of passwords coming from ahead.

"Check the weapon."

"Reload your ammunition."

"Prepare to defend against the enemy."

Listening to the orderly password, Li Yu was very comforted, so much money was not spent in vain, but it still had an effect.

"Summons Li Xiong, let them be ready and answer at any time."

Lei Yangong is a Wuling cave barbarian, and the generals under him are basically of the same clan. This general is Lei Yangong's nephew, they have been rampant in Jingnan all these years, they are full of banditry, the barbarians are already brave and good at fighting, and they have obtained the armor and weapons of the Han family, and they are even more powerful, and they don't take these Han soldiers in their eyes at all.

Especially since these soldiers are only in their early 2,000s and are still camping leisurely, is this teasing our nerves?!

"Kill ~~~~~"

Three thousand elite barbarian soldiers, barefoot, rushed up with horizontal knives.

Seeing that there were only a few hundred soldiers in front of him, the barbarian general became even more emboldened.

"Kill these Han soldiers, and there will be a heavy reward for returning to the city!"

"Whew~~~~~"

These brutes let out a beastly howl, and where there was any formation formation, they swarmed and crashed into it.

"Prepare to aim."

"Fire!"

Boom boom boom ~~~~

Earth-shattering thunder exploded, and the Han soldiers were drowned in smoke.

The barbarians charging in front seemed to have hit an invisible curtain wall, and they fell backwards one after another.

Bouncing bouncing ~~~~~

The sound of five catapults sounded, and it was completely inconspicuous in this thunder.

I saw five green smoke streak across the sky, and the green smoke drew a trail of swaying left and right in the air, and smashed into the crowd with a bang.

"Ahh

"Ouch!"

"Ugh!"

Several people were smashed and passed out on the spot.

Sneering green smoke spewed through the crowd, some stopped to look at the strangeness, others only glanced at it and continued to run.

Thundered~~

Thundered~~

Five thunderbolts, louder than the thunder ahead, pushed the crowd out at once. More than a dozen people rose into the air, somersaulting in the air, scattered in all directions.

Crackling ~ Bang Bang Bang ~ ~~~

There was a burst of rain falling from the sky, and his arms and thighs were smashed.

The brutes below were smashed stupidly.

The ensuing rain of blood showed them what horror is.

Dozens of brutes covered in blood stood in the crowd, stupid and in a daze.

When the others saw these people, they all screamed, turned and ran.

But the sound of the bouncing urges sounded again.

Five more streaks of green smoke fell from the sky, bouncing back and forth in the crowd after landing.

"Mom!"

Thundered~~~~

The life-threatening thunder rang out again.

The human body parts in the sky crackled and smashed into the brute soldiers below again, boom, the blood rain fell again, and there were dozens of more bloody people on the scene.

The brutes who rushed to the front fell in rows and fell, and the barbarians behind disappeared one by one.

The smoke and dust in the sky, the earth-shattering roar, and the great power of the earth shaking the mountains made these three thousand barbarians completely dumbfounded.

Did you encounter a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general?

When the five hundred musketeers emptied the six rounds of ammunition in their hands, they were empty. More than a thousand of the three thousand barbarians fell, and the barbarians behind were also blown out of several large holes.

"Immortals spare their lives~~~~"

"Spare ~~~~~"

Fang Xing walked out of the smoke, and his eyes were full of brute soldiers.

The barbarian who led the army had already been killed in front of the battle.

A thousand soldiers ran out of the camp and collected their weapons and put them in custody.

On the city wall, Lei Yangong, who was waiting for a big victory, opened his mouth, curled his yellow beard, and stared at his yellow eyes, completely frightened.

Just now, there was a thrilling thunderstorm in the sky, and as soon as the sky was on fire, most of his 3,000 elite soldiers were killed and injured, and the rest were frightened and fell directly.

I'll go!

These Han soldiers invited heavenly soldiers and generals! What should I do? Is it too late to run?!

The military generals of Wenchen around him have long been numb, and they can't afford to resist in their hearts. This is a dimensionality reduction strike, and it is not a world at all.

Run! If you don't run, you have to leave your life behind.

Lei Yangong didn't even dare to go back to the Shuaifu, opened the south gate, and headed towards Langzhou with his guards.

The rest of the Wenchen generals also got on their horses and ran south.
