Chapter 370 City of Ten Thousand Calamities

Wang Yue's army set off the next day...

In fact, there is not only one cavalry army, but also the cavalry brigade to which his entourage infantry army has to be added, which has a total of 18,000 cavalry.

All cavalry.

One thunderbolt brigade, three husky brigades, and two slew cavalry brigades.

The cavalry of the infantry army is the cavalry.

The six cavalry brigades had 18,000 soldiers, plus the deputy horses of the thunder brigade, and the pack horses originally accompanied the army and the locally requisitioned pack horses, totaling 25,000 horses, carrying only five days of food and equipment to the south. At a speed of a hundred miles a day, they took four days to kill from Yongzhou to Jiling Pass. This was the territory of Jimizhou. In fact, there were Jimizhou along the way. These chieftains supplemented the consumed materials for Wang Yue. Anyway, Wang Yue gave money, and many chieftains even joined with their subordinates.

They understand military affairs more than those civil servants, and they can tell at a glance that the king is actually not without hope of success.

These cavalry have different temperaments.

It was obvious that he really killed people. I don’t know how many bloody battles he had experienced. Such a huge cavalry group killed Shenglong, especially when the Li family was not prepared at all...

At least it is not difficult to fight until the dragon is up.

It is worth taking risks by following the money and robbing women all the way.

Of course, Wang Yue didn't care about them.

After completing the final supplies at Jiling Pass and confirming the supplies he carried, he could allow the cavalry to attack for five consecutive days, he immediately began a rushing run of less than four hundred miles.

There were indeed a large number of fortresses built by the Li family along the way. In fact, before Wang Yue left Jiling Pass, the Yue army in Menzhou knew about it. And while reporting to Shenglong, they were also prepared for defense. Unfortunately, their defense was meaningless, because here, the King of King took action personally. The scene of him slashing open Menzhou with a Mo knife alone also made the chieftains feel like they were injected with chicken blood. Then Wang Yue led the cavalry without any stop, and directly fed the horses with the local food hoarded in Menzhou, throwing the city and everything inside to those guys who were like spotted hyenas following the lion group.

They do whatever they like!

Wang Yue's cavalry army continued to move forward, and in the same way, he broke through the Li family's main fortress in this area, Liangzhou.

Then it was still thrown to the spotted hyenas behind.

In fact, Menzhou and Liangzhou are only dozens of miles away, and the spotted hyenas can solve the problem together.

Wang Yue continued to be like a bamboo shoot, almost Shenglong got the news, and was still confirming the truth or falsehood. When he didn't even believe that such a thing would happen, he had already broken through the fortress in the mountains and approached Beijiang Prefecture.

However, the Li family still did not react.

At this time, it was Li Shenzong, but he was just a thirteen-year-old child. His father Li Renzong just died last year. After he ascended the throne, he was assisted by several ministers. At this time, Vietnam or the Song Dynasty called Jiaozhi had long been abolished. Not only were they both Confucian and Buddhist, but they also valued eunuchs. It was impossible to expect such a court to respond in time in the face of this situation. Moreover, in their opinion, there was also a fortress-level city of Beijiang and rivers along the way, and they still had enough time.

The same is true.

Liangzhou and the mountain area are just the gates to the core area of ​​Jiaozhi.

However, Shenglong is the core of this core area.

Towards the north of Shenglong is the Honghe River, towards the north of Honghe River is the original Jiaozhou Prefecture Longbian City. In front of Longbian City is Fuliang River, to the north of Fuliang River is Cangjiang, and to the north of Cangjiang is Beijiang Prefecture.

cavalry?

Can cavalry still fly across these rivers?

dry season?

During the dry season of Jiaozhi, these big rivers also rush eastward.

However……

"Do they really think I only have cavalry?"

Wang Yue sat on a small hill by the Wanjie River, looking at Wanjie City on the other side with interest.

At this time, in the south, which is at the end of the downstream sight, there was a clear smoke rising under the countless vaguely visible sails. The dense sound of cannons also came from afar, but because it was too far, it would take at least seven or eight kilometers to make the sound of cannons vague.

That was a navy from Guangzhou.

Wang Yue is not stupid, of course he knows that Vietnam is not a cavalry, so they will have no future generations to brag about.

Cangjiang, Jianjiang or Fuliangjiang and Honghe, three rivers that are enough to sail inland river boats of thousands of tons cross the north. This is not an ubiquitous river. Vietnam's dry season is not an African grassland, and the dry season is just a reduction in rainfall, but it is also abundant in water. This place is simply a nightmare for cavalry, so he chose the same route and the same tactics as the Mongols attacked Vietnam for the third time, but he had few troops and only chose the two most important routes.

He led the cavalry, like the main force of the Mongolian cavalry, to attack from Lang Son at full speed, while the main force of the navy led by Ruan Xiaoqi entered the Baiteng River from the sea and went upstream to carry supplies.

Here is the point of meeting.

Wanjie City.

This very domineering name is also the third and last time that Mongolia attacked Vietnam. The Battle of Tengjiang is not.

The real battlefield is here.

Or from here, from Wanjie City to Lingshan City, which is currently fighting in the south, this section of river and a series of fortresses along the coast are the main battlefields between Mongolia and Vietnam. Because Wanjie River or modern land bank rivers are different from those east-west before, it is from north to south. Therefore, the Mongolian army can advance water and land, and the cavalry will go south along the route taken by Wang Yue, and the Han infantry will flow down the Wanjie River. The water and land will join Wanjie City, and the sea transported food to the Baiteng River enters the Baiteng River.

The previous Cangjiang, Fuliangjiang and Honghe all split into Longjiang Rivers in this actually more than 20-mile long section and merged into Wanjie River. Then, after the downstream merged for a few kilometers, it separated and flowed into the Baiteng River and Taiping River eastward into the sea.

The food can be transported to the battlefield from Baitengjiang.

The commander of the Mongolian army, Tuo Huan, led a large army heading from the north to the south, and fought fiercely with the main force of the Vietnamese army in this area. Although he gained military advantages, even the Han infantry defeated Wanjie City and Lingshan City one after another, opening the passage of Baitengjiang to go north to meet with him, the food that was supposed to be transported to them from Baitengjiang was robbed by the Vietnamese army.

All the 700,000 s of military rations were gone.

How can I continue to cook if I don’t have any food?

In addition, many deaths in the plague, Tuohuan gritted his teeth and simply took a try.

He asked the main force without military rations to bypass this section of the river, cross the eastern mountainous area and go south to attack Bai Tengjiang directly to try to grab the military rations, and finally enter the Vietnamese ambush circle, creating a myth that the Vietnamese boasted for more than 700 years.

At this time, at the foot of the hill where Wang Yue was, countless flying cavalry soldiers of the ever-winning army were flying ships and even rafts made by themselves, surging by the Wanjie River. They rushed past the river surface of the Wanjie River with poison arrows shot from the opposite side and stones thrown by the stone trencher, forcing this river more than 200 meters wide, and attacking Wanjie City, which was actually on the mountain. Many of them had crossed Wanjie River, and then raised up large guns and sprayed flames at Wanjie City. In addition, the heavy armored soldiers specially used for charge swarmed forward like iron cans, holding poison arrows.

The few defenders in Wanjie City looked at the arrows they shot in despair and bounced off the monsters.

Their arrows are not as good as those of the Jurchens!

It would be exaggerating to expect this thing to shoot through two millimeters of plate armor.

The heavily-attacked infantry quickly rushed to the city, then took out the ponytail grenade under the rain of arrows, ignited the fuse and threw it at the city wall. Some people even threw out the mobilizer bottle. In the explosion of the flames, balls of flames exploded on the city wall.

The defenders were in a panic of doomsday.

Then, the heavy armored soldiers rushed to the city with all their favorite weapons, shouting and rushing towards the top of the city. Below, three-eyed gunmen were holding the three-eyed guns and spraying flames at the chaotic defenders on the city wall. The completely stunned Vietnamese army immediately began to flee after the first heavy armored soldiers rushed up the city wall. A small number of brave men fought bravely, but unfortunately, their gap was too big. Whether it was equipment or combat effectiveness, they were far from the main forces of the ever-winning army who had experienced countless battles in the north.

It was completely beaten.

The soldiers wearing three quarters of armor, carrying various hammerheads, axes, shackles and pickaxes, were slaughtering like tigers rushing into monkeys.

And more and more soldiers rushed up the city wall behind.

In the end, all the remaining Vietnamese troops fled desperately, but they were still shot dead by three-eyed guns.

"This is what slaughtered Yongzhou back then, and this is not very hard to fight!"

Han Chang held up the telescope and said as he looked at his subordinates who rushed up the city wall.

"They were never able to fight. In fact, they were also attacked by the revenge Song army soon after, and they even saw that they broke through the Fuliang River defense line and rushed to Shenglong. But you have to know that we only have a few months to attack them, and we cannot solve them in a few months. Once the rainy season comes, we must retreat, otherwise the light plague will kill us half.

They face attacks with three tricks.

Strengthen the walls and clear the fields, raid the food roads, and then wait for the rainy season to fight back.

So, we have to be fast!

Pass the order and prepare to attack Shenglong!"

Wang Yue said and stood up.

At this time, on the downstream river, centipede ships appeared.

In front of them were the Vietnamese warships that fled everywhere. These were just rushed out of the mouth of the Cangjiang River. They should be the main force of the Vietnamese army who came to reinforce, but they happened to hit the centipede fleet. The latter was indeed not a giant ship on the sea, but on this river were the tiger sharks that were rampant. The centipede ships that were driven by the row of oars and sails were constantly smashing the Vietnamese warships with their solid horns. The Vietnamese army, who were trying to rely on the gang on both sides, splattered flesh and blood under the attack of the shotguns jetted by the large guns.

The entire river surface was instantly covered with broken wooden boards and blood-flowing dead bodies.

The remaining Vietnamese warships turned in a hurry and fled back to the waterway they came, but unfortunately the north shore of the waterway was already full of cavalry at this time.

The cavalrymen with three-eyed guns on the horse were happily shooting and killing the unlucky Vietnamese army.

And here, there are still a hundred miles away from Shenglong.
