Chapter 68: The Yuan Army Attacks
After He Zhen received the message of the envoy, he naturally readily agreed, the pressure on him from the Yuan army was not small, and now he needed a strong ally, Cham Po has grown by leaps and bounds under the governance of Pengyu, and has also destroyed their world enemy Da Yue, a weak country has destroyed a strong country, and the allusion of defeating the strong with the weak is rare in history, presumably the Cham must have come up with a military genius or they have their own methods.
He Zhen had already investigated the Champas, and He Zhen agreed with the education of the Pengpao, presumably because of the cultivation of talents that would make the Cham so strong, and with a strong ally, he had more confidence in the Yuan.
This time, the Yuan army and the Liang army sent troops to Jiaozhi together, and there were nearly 200,000 people according to rough statistics, of which 80,000 were sent by the king of Liang and 120,000 Yuan troops from all over the country. On March 20, the twenty-third year of Zheng, the Dali army led by Zarawalmi attacked Wansheng, Wansheng fought alone, and finally retreated in defeat, and the king of Liang did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but chose to recover his vitality, Wansheng was also stationed on the southern border, and was on guard against the attack of Zarawalmi at any time.
King Liang did not dare to act rashly, the Dali army is his last trump card, if he poured out, if the Han King Chen Youliang or He Zhen and others invaded them, he would have no power to resist, after all, these people hate the Yuan court very much, as the power of the Yuan, I am afraid that once these people have the opportunity, they will directly send troops, and then I am afraid that the whole of Yunnan will have to fall, the King of Han is not as good as Ming Yuzhen, Chen Youliang's strength Everyone knows, I am afraid that Yunnan will fall, they will not have the ability to take it back.
In fact, now the enemy of Great Xia is only Li Siqi and those local Yuan troops, if there are only these people, Ming Yuzhen is very confident to repel these Yuan troops, since Li Siqi withdrew to Hanzhong, Ming Yuzhen took advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Hanzhong and Ankang, the supplies of the Yuan army and Li Siqi's army are from Li Siqi, Ming Yuzhen does not directly border the Northern Yuan, Chen Youliang cannot let the supply of the Yuan army come over, basically can only rely on Li Siqi to maintain the supply of the two armies.
In the end, the two sides ended the war peacefully, and peace was restored in various places, but the Yuan court seems to have nothing to do now, and wants to conquer the Jiaozhi region again, thinking that the previous 500,000 troops were not broken through Jiaozhi, I am afraid that the general command was improper, and the Yuan court sent Polo Timur to take charge of the war, and the Yuan army was stationed in the Nanning area, ready to attack at any time.
The matter of the garrison of the Yuan army was spread throughout the country by the occupation newspaper, which attracted widespread attention, and they had not lived much peace, and someone came to offend them. He sent Maya Kuiyudo and his army to the north of Zhan, ready for foreign wars. The tense situation in the Yuan occupation naturally attracted the attention of other countries, and the subject state of Da Viet also formed a North Vietnamese army from North Vietnam to support the front line.
Lancang and Khmer are also nervous, they haven't gone to the Yuan court for a long time to make offerings, I don't know if the Cham can withstand the attack of the Yuan army, if they can't hold on, they will be directly threatened by the Yuan court, and it is naturally best to hold on.
The stubble that has just been over has just ended, and now it is coming again, do you want anyone to live? They are almost caught between the two great powers, and the other neighboring countries have secretly provided war assistance, although they have not sent troops to intervene in the war head-on.
Shao Zongyu politely refused to join the war, they favored Gou An, and it was best not to conflict with the Yuan army, as for what to do if the Yuan army came over, presumably others would not sit idly by when the time came.
He Zhen is also ready at any time, this time he personally led the troops to fight, He Zhen is also a capable person who can write and martial arts, when he was a child, he liked to read, and was good at fencing, and when he grew up, he organized local armed forces to defend the township. Wang Cheng and Chen Zhongyu rebelled, and He Zhen led troops to quell the rebellion. He Zhen is generous, good at Confucianism, and is quite deed with Confucian scholars such as Song Lian and Fang Xiaoru. At present, the army is stationed in Lianzhou.
On April 20, the 23rd year of Zheng, the Yuan army and the Zhanbei army fought in Langshan, the Zhanbei army adopted a defensive posture, and the Yuan army still mobilized a large number of cavalry they were good at, so the defensive posture could completely resist the attack of the Yuan army, and at the same time, the Cham also used artillery and archers to assist in the defense. In the jungle, the advantages of high cavalry mobility were also completely limited to death, so that the artillery could show its maximum power.
Originally, the cavalry restrained the artillery, and the artillery needed a certain amount of time to fire, not to mention that the target was always moving, and how to aim, Napoleon used cavalry to deal with artillery when he attacked Austria, so that the Austrian artillery was completely annihilated, although the artillery also caused a lot of lethality.
The Yuan army and the Zhanbei army were deadlocked in the north of Langshan, the Cham army basically did not have many casualties, and the number of Yuan troops killed and wounded by artillery and bow and arrow fire has exceeded 100, and the Yuan army also knew that it could not be like this, if they did not take the opponent's artillery as soon as possible, they would have greater casualties.
How could he get his wish, the navy of Haiphong is cruising in Tokyo Bay anytime and anywhere, once Chen Youding's navy appears, they will be sunk immediately, on the other hand, he asked for He Zhen's support, hoping to encircle and leave all the Yuan troops here, so that this place will become a nightmare for the Yuan army, and they will never dare to invade Cham again.
On April 23, the 23rd year of Zhizheng, Chen Youding's navy appeared in Guangzhou Bay, He Zhen and Chen Youding took the lead in a naval battle, He Zhen pretended to be defeated by Chen Youding, and fled in the direction of Tokyo Bay.
Seeing the appearance of the Chen navy, the Haiphong army took measures to attack after reporting to Li Zhengju and Maya Kuiyuduo, and the navy of Haiphong was full of large Fu ships, each loaded with 60 Cham sea cannons, and each ship carried 1,000 shells, which could last a long time in naval battles.
The coastal defense army attacked the Chen Navy from the left flank, and nearly 500 artillery ports were aimed at the Chen Navy, and the oppressive force was self-evident. Chen Haijun was caught off guard, but they were all well-trained, so they naturally immediately organized a counterattack, but they found that their artillery could not hit the enemy, but the enemy could hit them, and the enemy's attack range far exceeded them.
In order to attack the enemy, the Chen navy hurriedly drove to the left, while the Cham navy retreated, trying not to enter the local attack range, and in this way the stalemate lasted for two hours, and the Chen navy lost more than half.
"Damn, how did this boat run so fast." They were a little depressed, they obviously invented the Fuship, and they should have the most advanced technology.
