Chapter 644: The Great Wall (Part I)

"Cavalry, the enemy's cavalry ......," shouted a cross-chin soldier.

In fact, at this time, the language of Jiaozhi was very similar to Lingnan, including writing, and Chinese characters were mostly used, but the Li Dynasty also began to invent writing, including language, and began to integrate with the languages of various ethnic groups in the south, that is, from the Li Dynasty, it was officially "de-sinicized".

And the effect is good, the language has changed a lot, anyway, it is not really Chinese, and the text is gradually changing.

It is not a secret that Qu Zhen trained with a native cavalry, but in Qinzhou, it is still a little far away from here, but in the first battle of Fuliangjiang, the role of the cavalry of the Song Dynasty is known to many soldiers.

They were all in a hurry, and they rushed towards dozens of Song soldiers blocking the city gate like crazy.

"Formation," shouted one of them.

That is, with their backs to the city walls, they formed a phalanx to resist the enemy together, so that the enemy would not close the city gates.

Some more Song soldiers fell.

However, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty also arrived in front of them.

Seeing the cavalry approaching at a rapid pace, finally some of the cross-chin soldiers could not bear the fear, dropped their weapons, and fled backwards.

Qu Zhen rushed to the bottom of the slope and saw that the gate of the city still could not be closed, and the hundreds of Jiaozhi soldiers in the village fled with their legs.

"Rush." Qu Zhen rushed into Gaoling Village with his horse, glanced at it, and said, "Wudutou, you have worked hard. ”

I won't talk about anything else, because there is another key place in front of me, Pingliangdu.

There are several important rivers in front of Thang Long Province, such as the Fuliang River, the Baekteng River, the Qiu River, and the Taiping River (Note, Jiaozhi scholars believe that the Fuliang River is the Qiu River in the upper reaches of the Taiping River in Phu Liang Province, and Chinese scholars believe that the Fu Liang River is the Red River. Otherwise, Cochin will not be lowered. Only forced to the Red River. Cochin will be so nervous. But Jiaozhi thought that they had defeated the Song army, so they went to Qiujiang. But in that case, why did he ask the Song Dynasty to return the land of the five states? Therefore, the Fuliang River is the Red River. The Thai Thai River flows into the Red River near the estuary, but it splits off into a tributary from the northern part of Haiphong into Ha Long Bay, which is the famous Bai Teng River. The Qiu River and the Cangjiang River meet in Taiping in Vietnam, and the downstream of the meeting is called the Taiping River, and the upstream before the meeting is the Qiu River. )。

Tiande Mansion is in the north of the Qiu River. Wuning Prefecture is south of the Qiu River.

However, there is a main tributary of the Qiu River rolling from Sumao Prefecture, which happens to become a moat between Langzhou and Tiandefu.

Pingliang Ferry is an important ferry crossing on this moat.

At the end of February of the first year of Yuanfeng, the battle of Song Jiao restarted.

First, Qu Zhen led 2,000 cavalry to quietly enter Langzhou, and after nightfall, with the help of night protection, sneaked into a ravine on the side of Mokou Village. At dawn, Wu Ming, the head of the forbidden soldiers, led more than 90 daredevils, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, dressed as merchants. Come to Gaoling Village and block the gate of Gaoling Village.

Then Qu Zhen quickly entered Gaoling Village. Pounced on Heirato.

Jiaozhi was caught off guard and quickly let Qu Zhen take Pingliangdu. Only then did the officials of Jiaozhi Tiande Mansion receive the news and quickly organized 2,000 soldiers to go to the rescue.

The two armies met on a flat river, one infantry against cavalry, and the other with inferior weapons against sophisticated weapons, and 2,000 Jiaozhi soldiers were defeated in the blink of an eye.

The officials of Tien Dek Mansion immediately complained to Thang Long Mansion and closed the city gates at the same time.

Later, Yao Lin and Huang Jinman led 3,000 infantry stationed in Langzhou and arrived with siege equipment.

But they did not immediately attack the city, but only made a few feints.

Hearing this news, Jiaozhi immediately gathered his army, crossed the Qiu River with a large army one way, and prepared to join forces with the soldiers and civilians in the city of Tiandefu, defeating Yaoqu's 5,000 horse infantry army, and the other way from the waterway to the back, cutting off Pingliangdu, trying to prevent the Song army from escaping back, and the whole army was annihilated.

The Battle of Tiandefu began......

"Enlightened Shaobao, the Jiaozhi people began to strictly prepare Dongliang Port and Baiteng River."

Huang Hua sneered on the side, the so-called strictness is just the same old thing, the mouth of the Baiteng River is also wide, but then it becomes relatively narrow, and then the wooden stakes are laid underwater, and the sea ships cannot pass.

Dongliang Port is the port at the mouth of the Fuliang River, although the Fuliang River is deeper and wider, and it is impossible to lay wooden piles, nor does it have the ability to lay wooden piles, how long are wooden piles? However, the Fuliang River is turbulent, and if a naval army is stationed on it, it will still be difficult for the enemy's naval army to conquer Dongliang Port.

However, if the Song Dynasty attacked from the waterway this time, it would not be the original warship.

But there's no need to fight now, and that show will have to be moved back two months to be staged.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the two rivers in Jiaozhi are strictly guarded or not, Wang Ju will not use the water army at all.

The scout continued to report: "The enemy has continued to gather a large army to cross the Qiu River, and at the same time sail a large number of warships to Pingliangdu. ”

"How many battleships are there?"

"There are more than forty ships, large and small."

It's not too much, one is that Guo Kui beat the Jiaozhi people hard, and the other is that it's too late to dispatch.

"Go down and rest."

"Thank you."

"Lin Qing, you set off with me."

"Shaobao, you can't go, it's too dangerous."

"It's just forty warships, what's the danger, and I have to take a look at it to be at ease."

It was getting dark, but before Wang Ju arrived with three thousand soldiers and four thousand soldiers, the scouts had carefully explored the terrain of the area. After Gaoling Village, we gradually arrived at the plain area. Li Chao was able to de-sinicize, and he also had a hand, attaching not only importance to martial arts, but also to internal governance. To be precise, China's loss of this fertile land is not only the fault of the Song Dynasty, which has not attached importance to the entire Lingnan and considers it a foreign land. Let's not talk about cochin. So the cohesion has not been strong.

But under the leadership of the Li Dynasty, the people also began to develop, including this plain, planted a lot of rice, staggered, some rice fields were planted with seedlings, but after the arrival of the Song army, most of the people fled together, and many villages were empty.

It's best to save yourself from being discovered by these people, and then run to report the news.

After this paddy field area, we entered the rainforest again.

The group had to dismount.

The rainforest is unimaginably dense.

There was still a way to the river, but the Jiaozhi people had set up a sentry post, so they had to make a detour from the side from a distance.

A thorn strip slashed across Wang Ju's face. Wang Ju couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

"Less insurance. You okay. ”

"No fuss." Wang Ju endured the pain and said.

When the horse arrived, there was no way to go any further, so they tied the horse to the tree, unloaded some things from the horse's back, and continued to stumble forward.

"Right here." When the group came to the river, a scout surnamed Wang said.

Asking for water is here, and it is exactly a bend. Relatively narrow. What I want is this narrow, Wang Ju looked at it, it is narrow, and there are more than two hundred steps, but the southern water system is developed, and the river surface is generally relatively wide, which is not surprising. And because it becomes narrow, the current is very turbulent.

Wang Ju said: "Le Xiaowu, you have to be careful. ”

"Shaobao, don't worry. We grew up on the side of the Zuojiang River, and the water is good. A native soldier said honestly.

Then they each put on the lifebuoy that Wang Ju had prepared for them. But if you want to swim here, even if you have a lifebuoy, you can't do it if the water is not good, and they still swim to the other side with a rope.

A dozen people went into the water, and the rest began to connect the chains, which were divided into sections in order to carry, but now they had to be connected.

"Shaobao, why didn't Guo Gong use this strategy?" Wang Zishan asked.

"I don't know, but it is estimated that the Fuliang River is too wide, or maybe Guo Gong did not prepare for this thing, or it is for other reasons...... Wang Ju said. The main battlefield of the Fuliangjiang River is in the southwest, and it is still far from here, so Wang Ju can't figure out what the reason is.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Cochin fleet in the northeast direction with a telescope, and there were more than 40 ships, some of which were fifty or sixty tons in size, and only a dozen of them. There are also some small boats, which are the flat boats used by fishermen, which have been recruited by Jiaozhi as patrol boats.

However, at this time, it was almost the third watch, and all the people on the ship were asleep, and only the outpost on the shore was hidden in the dense forest, and it was not really visible. But although these fleets were moored on the opposite shore, they formed a water wall. Therefore, we can't underestimate the Jiaozhi people, who have been ruled by China for so long, and the civilization gap is not large.

It's that Wang Ju is used to seeing his own big ships in Quanzhou, and then looking at these warships, it's a bit unsightly.

But their role should not be underestimated.

Because the two major estuaries were charged, with these warships swimming on the river, it was not easy for the Song army to cross or withdraw.

Wang Zishan slapped his face and said worriedly: "Shaobao, there are mosquitoes." ”

"You, take a closer look at the illustrative article I wrote."

In order to let everyone have an understanding of miasma, that is, malaria, Wang Ju deliberately wrote a long article to explain, some rivers also have miasma disaster areas, but those rivers have huge bends, and the water rushes to the bends, forming a whirlpool, so all kinds of decay that floats down from the upstream, including corpses, accumulate together, and then produce heavily toxic germs, mosquitoes multiply on them, and then suck blood on people, and malaria is transmitted. So over time, there is a legend of the miasma disaster area.

However, the river here is relatively straight, and the development of both sides of the river has begun, and there is basically no source of malaria.

If a mosquito bite is dangerous, what's the point?

Le Xiaowu and the others had already swam to the opposite bank, but because of the rapid current, they had to pull the rope and go up the river. After walking for a while, the rope was tied to the tree, and then a dozen people pulled the rope one by one, and behind the rope was the iron chain, which was very heavy. One by one, they were tightly tied to the opposite trunk, and the thorns were pulled off again, so that the rope had to be brought back to prevent the Cochin people from discovering it.

Then he swam back.

"Let's go." Wang Judao.

When the group returned, and the sky gradually dawned, Wang Ju simply summoned the generals and said, "Let's march immediately." ”

"The army of the back road is still a few days away." Commander Ping Wei said.

"Commander Ping, everyone, don't wait any longer. And the spring miasma is gradually coming up, so it should not be delayed for a long time. ”

After speaking, the three armies assembled, including thousands of people escorting the people who carried the baggage, in fact, this battle had been prepared for a long time, and the baggage was placed in the Taiping Village. Then the people gathered in Yongzhou, but unlike Guo Kui's southward journey, this time it was a paid assembly, and each man paid a lot of money, and at the same time promised that if there were sacrifices, each person would pay his family fifty horses of colored silk. So the speed of the southward movement is extremely fast.

The Song army soon arrived at Pingliangdu.

Wang Ju ordered to camp on the spot, and then let the soldiers and civilians cut wood together, it was too late to make a boat, but a wooden raft could be used to make a large raft.

The Jiaozhi Navy also quickly found out, and sent a small boat to row to this side of the river, watching the situation on the shore, and then asked Wang Ju to order the soldiers to quickly shoot into the middle of the river with the Divine Arm Bow.

Two days later, more than 200 large rafts were successfully built, and Wang Ju said: "Pull to the river, ready to put down the river." ”

As can be seen, the Jiaozhi naval army immediately sent all the battleships from the opposite bank, preparing to launch an attack on the Song army crossing the river.

At this moment, three long trumpets sounded in the Song army, and after a pause, three trombones, and three trombones, and three trombones.

With the sound of nine horns, bales of straw floated down from the upstream, and then quickly dispersed as the waves crashed. Then barrels of oil were poured into the river, and the river rushed down, and when it met the floating straw, they wrapped themselves in the river under the grass. The spring flood also began, and the river was flowing very fast, and the bundles of straw quickly approached the Cochin battleship.

But Cochin is a little inexplicable, because the straw is not too dense, and the river beats and many straw bales are wet, and even if they can burn, they will not cause a fire. Besides, their ships are nimble, where can they burn?

Wang Ju looked at the inexplicable Jiaozhi army with a telescope and said, "Shoot arrows." ”

Not ordinary arrows, but rockets.

In short, because these warships were too small, Wang Ju couldn't look down on them, and he even thought that they were slaughtering chickens with a knife...... (To be continued......)
