Chapter 175: Tianjin Landing Battle (Part 2)

Batru's performance was enough to surprise anyone. After obtaining this latest information, his reaction was not to praise, but to not believe it at all. His eyes were wide open, he looked at Hu Rushi, raised his right hand, slapped Hu Rushi hard on the face, pointed at Hu Rushi's nose and scolded: "Damn it, you dare to spread rumors, I've done you." He pulled out the scimitar and held it in his hand and was about to slash Hu Rushi.

Hu Rushi came with confidence, and Mandarin thought that he would give this latest information to Batru as soon as possible. Even if there was no benefit, there were always a few praises. Unexpectedly, what he got was a loud slap in the face. The depression in his heart was beyond the description of Bimo. He really regretted coming here, and covered his face and said anxiously: "General, General, listen to me, listen to me, even if I have the courage to spread rumors, it was really the fleet of the Southern Dynasty who came here."

Batru was a Mongolian warrior who rolled on the battlefield all his life, and had strength. He slapped hard in the face, and blood flowed down the corner of Hu Rushi's mouth. As he spoke, blood foam splattered and a blooming blood flower appeared in the air.

Batru raised the scimitar on his head, stared at him and asked, "Really? Did you see it?"

"It's true!" Hu Rushi replied immediately, "It's not that the little one saw it, but that the guys in the small shop saw it. Many Southern Dynasties fleets are approaching my salt field."

Batru sneered: "You didn't see it with your own eyes. If there is a use, you must have spread rumors. If the Southern Dynasties fleet came over, our soldiers along the coast would have reported it long ago, and it would be your turn." He was about to slash Hu Rushi with a knife.

What he said is very reasonable. The Mongols sent many whistles along the coast, and any movement can be reported, let alone a large-scale fleet, with a large scale, no reason would be unbelievable. At first glance, anyone could hear it.

Li Jun's move was beyond anyone's expectations. Even Kublai Khan might not believe it when he heard this news, let alone Batru. This cannot be blamed on others, but only Zheng Jing and the outstanding organizational talents. He sent a large number of elite teams, and their mission was to eliminate the hope whistle along the coast and prevent the news from leaking.

In order to keep it more confidential, Zheng Jinghe did not approach the shore when he set out from Shandong, but went deep into the Bohai Sea, which was difficult for the Mongols to discover.

Hu Rushi didn't expect Batru to be so stupid. He scolded Batru in his heart, but argued: "General, is it true? You can tell if you go and see."

"You want to delay time." His words were very reasonable, but Batru had another "unique" view, convicted Hu Rushi and slashed Hu Rushi with one knife.

Hu Rushi never expected that he would come to report something great but end like this. He screamed and fell to the ground, his face turned blue, his teeth hit each other, and his princessed. At this moment, a shocking sound rang out, and it was the Southern Song fleet that showed its power.

This sound was ten thousand times better than Tianyin Fairy Music for Hu Rushi. It was a life-saving straw. He jumped up from the ground and was very excited and said, "General, listen, this is the Southern Dynasties' fleet starting to attack, this is the artillery of the Southern Dynasties." He was happy and did not notice that his crotch was wet, which was so scared that he was so scared that he was urinating.

Batru's scimitar stopped in the air and rested on Hu Rushi's neck. If the cannon sounded late, Hu Rushi's head would have flown aside. He was stunned for a while before saying, "Is it really the Southern Dynasty fleet?" The facts are already obvious. Asking and not asking are the same, and he put away the scimitar.

Hu Rushi's heart, which had jumped to his throat, finally fell back into his stomach, and he was about to say a few words of flattery. Unfortunately, he had not said anything yet. A trained sword light slashed over his neck. When he understood, he saw that the ground was getting farther and farther away from him, and he flew very high.

Batru searched Hu Rushi's arms for a while, found a lot of silver notes, and sneered, "Don't let the things delivered to the door be useless." He shouted, "Come on, drag the assassin out." He grabbed Hu Rushi's hair and held the head in his hand, and sneered, "You assassin, dare you, to join the Southern Dynasty to assassin to assassinate this general, aren't you looking for death?"

The eyes on the human head kept turning, looking at Batru in shock, his mouth was still open and closed, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know whether he was going to ask Batru why he wanted to kill him, or whether he regretted getting too close to the Mongolians and becoming a traitor, so he sacrificed his life inexplicably.

Batru's reaction was not slow. He knew that Kublai Khan would pursue this matter sooner or later. It can be imagined that the Southern Song Dynasty fleet hit the doorstep. He was completely unaware of anything. His crime was great. If Hu Rushi exposes this matter again, his head would be 100% unsafe. It would be better to destroy Hu Rushi and let him do it with the enemy country. Wouldn't it be great to assassinate him?

The key to winning this battle is to surprise and attack them without preparation. However, Zheng Jinghe has carefully prepared and deployed carefully and assigned tasks to the participating troops. A fleet of such a large scale cannot be squeezed together, which would waste time. Once the fleet arrived in Tianjin, they each rushed towards the target, fired at one place, and fired everywhere. In just a moment, the whole Tianjin was in a row, with the roar of artillery everywhere and a sea of ​​fire everywhere.

In the words of those who experienced this battle at that time, "From the time when the artillery roared, Zhigu Village became a hell on earth! There were crowds of people running around, crying everywhere, screams of the Tartars being injured everywhere, and wailings before their death. One word, chaos! It was a mess!"

The ones included in Zheng Jinghe's strike list include: ports, ships, military facilities, and of course, the Mongolian army and Mongolian nobles.

The importance of ports and ships to the Mongols is self-evident. Tianjin is an important water and land transit station. Without ports and ships, most of the food, medicinal materials, and tax silver that most of them urgently need will not be transported. The silver sent to various places by Kublai Khan would not be sent out. Naturally, ports and ships became the number one target.

It is no secret that there are only civilian ships here, but more are official ships or ships that transport supplies to the Mongols. Zheng Jinghe doesn't have to worry at all, just like the shells are poured out at the port. Besides, in this case, Zheng Jinghe doesn't want to bomb civilian ships. The civilian ships are mixed with other ships and cannot be separated. If he can't lose time, he can only bombard them together.

Zheng Jinghe is not only an excellent strategist, not only a genius organization, but also a capable indoctrinator of will. He knew that there was only one requirement for this battle: you must take action ruthlessly and not delay, because they cannot lose time, otherwise hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops would be surrounded by them at once.

With his efforts and the assistance of Zhao Liangchun and Zhao Qian, this intention was well implemented. Every soldier who participated in the war knew that he would never show mercy. Those gunners loved the most were artillery. After receiving this order, they were so happy that they jumped into the sky. After a war order, they also had the principle of not letting go of their hands and feet. They loaded shells desperately and fired desperately. One bright firepower net after another appeared in the air, as if stars were flying through the air, so beautiful that they could not speak, and they were covering the harbor ships.

In just a short while, the originally prosperous port, the ships were coming and going, turned into ruins, with broken wooden blocks everywhere, and limbs to arms everywhere. From a distance, there was a layer of red liquid floating on the water surface.

There is no need to be polite about those military facilities within the range of artillery fire. A few platoons of guns were shot and destroyed, without a trace.

Batru, who was connected to Hu Rushi's report, didn't believe that the Southern Song fleet had come, let alone those Mongolian soldiers. They would never have expected the disaster to come. After being exposed to fierce artillery fire, they all looked like a fool. You looked at me, I looked at you, and I couldn't understand what was going on. Many soldiers understood how he died and who killed him until they died.

A long time later, Zheng Jinghe recalled when summarizing his military career, "War, there is nothing impossible. As long as you work hard and as long as you think, everything is possible. In the eyes of others, the chance of success is extremely slim. It can be said that we don't even have any hope. However, we not only won, but we also won very easily. The reason is that the emperor's bold decision was to insert a knife into the heart of the Tartars. Under the circumstances at that time, this was something that no one could have imagined. How great is this level of disbelief? You only need to look at the unbelievable appearance of the dead Mongolian soldiers.

"This incredibility is not only reflected in the Tartar soldiers, but also in the people of Zhigu Village. When we appeared in Zhigu Village, the people there were still looking at us foolishly without even reacting. In history, wherever the king went, they would definitely receive grand and enthusiastic welcome from the people. However, this time we did not get the welcome as we deserved. What we got was the incredible people, because the people would never have thought that we would be back.

"I clearly remember an old man looking at me and asked, 'Young man, are you the king's army?' I replied excitedly, 'Uncle, we are the king's army. The court has fought back!' The old man said with disdain and said, 'Young man, you can go quickly, I think I didn't see it.' He turned around and left with a cane."

This is just a microcosm. I don’t know how many things are similar to this situation, so this battle was nicknamed to the soldiers as "an unpopular battle."

After being hit by a sudden blow, the Mongols' reaction must be chaotic and at a loss. This was in Zheng Jinghe's expectation. It was a battle plan that shocked the Mongolians and made them unable to cope. Then it carried out a landing war, spreading the war deep and maximizing the results of the war. This was a combat plan that Zheng Jinghe had already formulated.

Now, the artillery fire in the fleet has completely beaten the Mongols like a stray dog. It is time to carry out the next battle. Zheng Jinghe smiled and said to Zhao Liangchun: "General Zhao, war is a violent act that is prone to pain. We will be able to carry out the good virtues of heaven, so that the Tartars will no longer suffer!"

This is very philosophical. If a person who is not clear about the subject, he will definitely think that Zheng Jinghe has a Bodhisattva heart. However, Zhao Liangchun knows what he meant, that is, "The best way to relieve pain is to make him no longer have life." To put it bluntly, kill them all.

Zhao Liangchun smiled and said, "Amitabha, Buddha bless you!" He gave a speech to the Marine soldiers who had been anxious for a long time, saying, "Brothers: You all know that this is Zhigu Village. What is behind Zhigu Village?"

The soldiers replied loudly: "Dadu!"

"Yes, behind Zhigu Village is Dadu. Most of them are the places where Kublai Khan, the Emperor of Tartars, live. Let's go to Dadu, go to Dadu to be a guest, and go to Kublai Khan's house to enjoy the Tartars' milk wine!" Zhao Liangchun fully utilized his speaking skills and began pre-war lectures.

The roar of artillery fire had already made the soldiers' blood boil, and they had long wanted to wield their swords to kill the shore. After hearing his words, they were not all happy like the New Year. They raised their arms and shouted: "Go to Dadu! Go to Kublai Khan's house!"

"Kill!" Zhao Liangchun roared, jumped into the sea and rushed to the shore. Behind him, there were endless sounds of thumping, and the excited soldiers jumped into the sea and followed him to kill the shore.

Zhao Liangchun's pre-war lecture was quite elegant, and Zhao Qian was a little unpleasant to the mobilization of his Xuan-armored cavalry. He pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife, with a red light in his eyes, and said, "Brothers: Have you all heard General Zhao's words?"

Zhao Liangchun's words seemed to be thundering. As long as there was no problem with his ears, he must have heard them. The Xuanjia Cavalry roared: "I heard them. They are going to Dadu! They are going to Kublai Khan's house!"

"Do they go to Kublai Khan's house to do business?" Zhao Qian asked.

The Xuanjia Cavalry said without thinking, "Enjoy the Tartars' Milk Wine!"

"Will we go to Kublai Khan's house to do business?" Zhao Qian asked again.

It goes without saying that they are all Southern Song troops, so they must do the same thing when they go to Kublai Khan's house, which is to enjoy the Mongols' horse milk wine. The Xuanjia cavalry replied confidently: "Enjoy the Tartars' horse milk wine!"

Zhao Qian's face sank and shouted, "Who told you to go and drink that horse pee?" At this time, the soldiers were a little curious and looked at him straight and waited for him to give the answer.

Zhao Qian lived up to their expectations and immediately gave the answer, saying, "We are going to Kublai Khan's house to shit!" With a wave of his right hand, he was full of confidence, as if shit at Kublai Khan's house was a supreme glory.

His words immediately attracted a lot of laughter, and the black-armored cavalry laughed, and then a shocking roar broke out: "Pull shit into Kublai Khan's house! Pull shit into Kublai Khan's house!"

The roar after another, "Pull shit into Kublai Khan's house" sounded, as if it was a bolt from the blue, shaking the waves.

War was a serious matter, but it made him so interesting that no one could believe it if he had not seen it personally. Only those who had experienced countless fierce battles and were full of confidence wanted to get a unique way to boost morale.

It was obvious that the power of the Xuan Armored Cavalry exceeded the Marine Corps. Zhao Liangchun was dissatisfied and turned his head and shouted, "Hey, Zhao Qian, are you going to shit out for someone or shit out for horses?" He was also interesting and actually came to join in the fun.

The Marines around him laughed and shouted together: "Are you going to shit out for people or shit out for horses?"

"Everything is needed!" Zhao Qian roared and said, "Brothers: Kill the Tartars!" He slapped the war horse on the butt, and the war horse raised its head and neighed, jumped into the sea. Zhao Qian jumped down.

The Xuanjia Cavalry roared, "Pull shit into Kublai Khan's house", drove the horses into the sea, then jumped into the sea, and rushed to the shore. The brave and warlike Marines and the famous Xuanjia Cavalry entered the battle under the leadership of Zhao Liangchun and Zhao Qian.

This raid was extremely important. This was a battle under the nose of the Mongols, which was like pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth. It was extremely risky. Therefore, Zheng Jinghe dispatched a large number of troops, with a total of 30,000 people. The scale of this investment in the battle was quite large. From a distance, I saw dense crowds everywhere, crowded with people in the sea, and a sea of ​​people.

According to the people of Tianjin, afterwards, "When the King of Emperors landed, we saw an extremely spectacular scene. There were so many Kings, more than the ants on the ground!"

There is another saying that "the movements of the king are too exaggerated. Their movements are faster than monkeys. At first, they appeared on the shore. There were many people, more straws in the fields. Not long after, there were no people on the shore, as if they could fly. When they appeared again, they were already in the streets and alleys of Zhigu Village. Looking forward to the return of the king, it has always been the wish of the people of Zhigu Village, but when we first saw the king, we were at a loss. It was not that we did not welcome them back, but that we couldn't believe it: this was true! When we understood that this was true, the king had long disappeared. Could it be that they had the ability to escape the earth of the gods?"

This battle not only demonstrates Zheng Jing and his superb military command art, but also reflects the huge changes in the Southern Song army in recent years: the current Southern Song army is no longer the previous Southern Song army! They can fight big battles, bad battles, and tough battles. Their movements are ruthless, fierce and fast enough. They are like a tide, coming and going quickly!

For the people of Tianjin, this happened too suddenly. It was a bit difficult for them to believe that the king's army had arrived in a short period of time. When they understood, the Southern Song army had already set foot on Tianjin and embarked on a new journey.
