Chapter 479: Yongfeng Tower

At night, on the periphery of the camp where the headquarters of the First Mixed Brigade of the Huaxia Army was stationed, the Houjin Tartars imitated the cries of wild beasts and hawks, and kept shouting for most of the night, trying to harass the Huaxia Army and make it impossible for the First Brigade to rest normally.

The Huaxia Army won a great victory during the day, and naturally it did not show weakness at this time, and the troops deployed in the periphery of various departments continued to take the initiative to attack, and some sporadic battles broke out between the Houjin army.

During this night, the team that came to harass and attack the Huaxia army on the Tartar side had Fuzhou City as a backing and could get enough rest, so they continued to attack and engage the Huaxia army.

However, the defense system of the Huaxia Army, as well as its field combat capabilities, have been tested by many battle formations over the years.

The battalions successively sent their troops to meet them, and firmly blocked several mountain pass positions, until the next day, they did not allow the Houjin Tartars to break through the outer defenses of the camp.

Early the next morning, all the soldiers of the 1st Mixed Brigade, after breakfast, quickly advanced to Fuzhou City.

This is the middle and upper reaches of the Fuzhou River, and it is only less than 10 kilometers away from Fuzhou City.

A team of more than 4,000 people went straight along the west bank of the Fuzhou River and soon arrived at the city of Fuzhou.

Red flags and dark yellow uniforms complement each other, like a red and yellow carpet, covering the wilderness outside the city, and the loud military trumpets and drums resounded through the world.

Zakdan's brigade headquarters banner was parked on a hill southeast of the city.

On this mountain, there is also a "Yongfeng Tower".

It is rumored that this Yongfeng Pagoda was built in the Later Zhou Dynasty (951-960), and was built during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), which has been more than 1,000 years ago, and has survived floods and earthquakes, and is still intact.

According to the records of Juye County, the tower was originally "located in the Great Buddha Temple before the county Confucianism". The big Buddha temple in the Tang and Song dynasties, with a radius of more than 20 acres, has a tower courtyard in the west of the temple, and there are Buddhist scriptures hidden in the tower; The Buddha temple carves beams and paints the building, the building is majestic, the Buddha statue is vibrant, lifelike, the tomb drum and morning bell, the smoke is filled, it is the ancient tourist attraction. '

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, north of Yeongbong Pagoda was the commercial downtown area of Jeju City, with theaters, restaurants, restaurants, and hotels, and the sound of gongs and drums and orchestras was heard every day.

Whenever the ancient meeting, businessmen gather, the traffic is busy, bustling, and lively. Because the pagoda originated from ancient India and other countries where Buddhism was prevalent, ancient people also called it a pagoda or a Buddhist pagoda. Ming Jiajing supervised the imperial history Ma Wenjian Shiyun: "The floating slaughter built the tower from He Pi puppet to suppress Qingchuan. ……“

The phrase "Fanta Zhaohui" in the "Juye County Chronicles" comes from this, and it is named "Yongfeng", which means "Guotai Min'an, Harvest of Grains".

Yongfeng Pagoda is an eight-sided equilateral four-gate pavilion type brick tower, with five existing floors, 31 meters high, 44 meters in circumference in the lower floor, and 36 meters in circumference in the upper floor.

The first layer is a brick stacked eaves, and the other layers are composed of two overhangs of the Chinese arch to form the upper supporting eaves, which are crossed and scattered, solid and firm.

The east, south, west and north sides of each floor are equipped with coupon doors, which are different in light and dark, or are patios, or lead directly to the corridor in the tower.

The height of each floor of the tower body and the diameter of the tower are decreasing layer by layer from bottom to top, and the score is decent. On the west side of the tower, there are several stone steps that are repaired later, and this step can enter the tower.

The ground floor is provided with the heart chamber of the tower, 7 pieces of Buddhist stone statue tablet are inlaid on the interior wall, a piece of 40.5 centimeters in length and 100 centimeters in width at the door, a row of 5 Buddha statues, the statue is 28 centimeters high.

Yongfeng tower is surrounded by water on all sides, the tower is leaned away, and the Ming and Qing dynasties have been repaired many times.

Climb the tower in the early morning and look out, the east mountain is misty, the glow is gorgeous, there is the Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple in the north, it is majestic and magnificent. There are also Heta Tower, stone bridge near Yongfeng Tower, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Although the scenery in front of him is very beautiful and dizzying, Zachdan has no intention of seeing any scenery at this moment. He was more concerned about the lack of beauty in the city wall of Fuzhou City in front of him.

Fuzhou was guarded in Hongwu ten years, at the beginning of the rammed earth city wall, to Yongle four years when the outer bread was on the city bricks, the circumference is about 2200 meters, the city wall is 8 meters high, 5 meters wide, there is no urn city.

In terms of grandeur alone, there is a big gap between the Fuzhou Acropolis and Jinzhou City, and the height of the city wall alone is less than 3 meters.

Correspondingly, in terms of attack difficulty, it was lowered by a notch all of a sudden.

In the Ming Dynasty, Fuzhou was also an area with access to the sea, and commerce was once very prosperous, but after the so-called "ten merits" of Nurhachi, it is now a barren place.

Only a small number of the courtyards that were originally distributed outside the city have survived, and as for the rest, almost all of them have become ruins.

In terms of commerce, only the smuggling trade with Dongjiang Town and Guanning Town remains, and as for the rest, there are no shops and normal trade in the local area at all, and even the surrounding originally fertile land is overgrown with wild grass.

Only along the banks of the Fuzhou River, there were still a small number of military cantonments stationed, but in the first half of this year, in a series of "nail pulling operations," most of them were burned by the surprise troops and reconnaissance units of the Huaxia Army.

As for the remaining small part of the grain that had not yet had time to ripen, Zachdan planned to forcibly collect it and feed it to the horses of his own army.

Anyway, Zachdan has decided, and not a single grain of grain here will be left for the butchers of the Houjin Tartars stationed in this place.

The members of the reconnaissance battalion had bypassed the Fuzhou Acropolis at this time and went straight north, and they needed to burn all the Houjin army bunkers and grain fields they encountered along the way.

Although there were only more than 100 people, the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion were already familiar with this kind of task, and it became natural for them to get used to it.

Moreover, in order to avoid the round-up of the reinforcements of the Houjin army, the reconnaissance battalion was specially equipped with two horses this time.

If the Houjin Tartars want to stop the attack of the reconnaissance battalion, they must at least invest several times the cavalry strength of the reconnaissance battalion, which is obviously not possessed by the Houjin troops in Fuzhou City at this stage.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion attacked this time, and the more grain fields were burned, the greater the logistical pressure on the Houjin army along the Fuzhou City after this winter.

All kinds of information here have long been clearly investigated by the intelligence department and the reconnaissance force.

Although this Fuzhou City is small, it does not mean that it will be easier to fight than Golden State City.

Because, after Fuzhou became the front line of the confrontation with the Huaxia Army, the Houjin side also made a lot of preparations here, and now there are many defenders in the city, and the equipment to defend the city is much more abundant than during the Battle of Jinzhou City.

Just by being detected, there are rolling stones, sassal wood, slap rods, hitting pillars and other tools visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, according to the documents of the intelligence department, the gray bottles, fire bottles, boiling oil and other things commonly used by the Ming army when defending the city were not less prepared by the traitors of Jin.
