Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 799 The Army Crosses the River 【Subscription】

A white pigeon fluttered across the Liao River and landed in a military camp on the west bank of the river.

Cao Quan looked at the flying pigeons falling on the shelf of the pigeon nest, and his face seemed to bloom like a flower. He stepped forward and took off the mailbox, then quickly returned to the military tent to translate.Later, a secret message was personally delivered to Yue Fei's tent.

As a member of the Liaoyang Station of the Espionage Department, Cao Quan, as the end of the entire information transmission, is always in a very safe environment, but he can frequently brush his face in front of the Shangguan, and he can sit in such a good position. I don't know how many times I have been emotional in a year.The five thousand guan that his grandfather spent back then was really worth it!
It is written in the original work of Water Margin that the villain was originally from Kaifeng Prefecture, and was the disciple of Lin Chong, the commander of the 80-strong Forbidden Army. His surname was Cao Mingzheng, and his ancestors were born as butchers.The villain is good at killing animals, picking out the tendons and bones, peeling, pushing and beheading, but he is called Cao Zheng, the swordsman ghost.Because a rich man here gave five thousand gu to this young man to come here as a guest in Shandong. He didn't want to lose his money, so he couldn't go back to his hometown, so he married into this farmer's family here.

This swordsman has a good mind and is motivated. He is also Lin Chong's apprentice.But no matter how much Emperor Lu loves Wujiwu, he can't erase the stains on his body.This guy used local people's money to do business at a loss and did not dare to return to his hometown. It is said to be very disgraceful.After Emperor Lu accepted Cao Zheng, Cao Zheng had already repaid the five thousand guan with interest.

The rich man in his country also had the surname Cao. At that time, Liang Shanbo had hooked up with him and gave up a son named Cao Zheng to support him. The latter followed Cao Zheng and first settled in the Cangzhou Trade Zone, and then entered the current Yan State. Jingfu, and then went to Liaoyang Mansion in Liaodong.

Now Cao is the head of the Liaodong District Intelligence Department, and Cao Quan has also risen to become one of the deputy leaders of the subordinate intelligence team.

Yue Fei took the secret letter and hurriedly opened it to read it. A smile appeared on his face immediately. He called Wang Gui to stay at the camp, and then he rode his horse and ran to Lin Chongjun's camp to report.It turns out that Hua Rong has already led his troops to Liaoyang Mansion!

"Okay!" Leopard Head yelled after hearing this.Naturally, he hadn't heard the news about Chenzhou's defeat. He only knew that Aguda led an elite cavalry group to the east two days ago.

Target unknown, whereabouts unknown.

Hua Rong went south at this time and was taking certain risks.

But it cannot be denied that as long as Hua Rong leads his troops to Liaohe, it will be the great opportunity they have been waiting for.

The existence of Ying Yangjun will inevitably affect Nian Wuhe's heart. Naturally, Hua Rong can divert some of the Jin army's attention. This is the perfect opportunity for Yue Fei's army to cross the Liao River.

The large wooden ropes had already been made by the Qi army.This kind of thing without any technical content is just to bully the Jurchens who don't have regular naval warships.But it is big and carries a heavy load, although it is slow.

The waves on the Liaohe River were rolling, but following Yue Fei's order, large wooden mats were put into the water, and there were even wooden rafts.The tens of thousands of Jinzhou infantry have already put on a posture to forcibly cross the Liaohe River.

The Jurchen general sitting here is none other than Wanyan Loushi, Yue Fei's old enemy.When his son Wanyan Huonv ran into the military tent with an embarrassed look on her face, Wanyan Lousi was sitting on a big chair with her eyes closed. There was a silver bowl in front of her with a little bit of soup residue in it.

After a tragic defeat that day, Wanyan Lou's room spurted out a mouthful of blood, which already damaged her heart and lungs.

"Father, that big eye is going to cross the Liao River by force."

Wanyan Loushi opened his eyes, but he showed an expression as expected.Ever since he heard that Huarong was leading the army to the south, and Nian Meihe personally led the troops to the north, he had a premonition in his heart that the Qi army on the other side was about to move.Now it is so and so!
"Father..." Wanyan Huonu was a little confused.

Wanyan Loushi was not interested in telling his son any more questions. What could he say?It is said that Han'er had ambitions early on, planned his deployment in Liaodong early, and conveyed the news very well, so that the Jurchens were defenseless?
The officials and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty had long noticed the pigeons flying in the sky, but Cao Zheng was very careful, and the intelligence department was well organized. Even though the Jurchens knew that the news was leaking out all the time, they couldn't come up with a specific solution. to curb.

Now that the Qi army in the north is moving south, Nian Meihe must not sit idly by and ignore it. If the other side receives the news, it is logical to take the opportunity to launch an offensive.

The horn sounded, and at least five thousand gold troops lined up on the banks of the Liao River.On the other side of the river, banners and banners were flying, and a large number of Qi troops had already boarded the wooden paddle and were rowing towards the opposite side.

The leader of the first queue is none other than Wang Gui.At this moment, he was wearing a half-plate armor, and he didn't look at the Jurchen army on the other side, but looked at the things that a group of people on the wooden paddle in front of them were playing with.

A small torsion ballista.This is the technology tree that China just lit up after Fang La's army conquered Sanfoqi.

In terms of performance, this kind of torsion ballistae, especially the large torsion ballistae, is not cost-effective compared to China's counterweighted stone cannons.It is weak in power, complex in structure and difficult to manufacture.Even the operation is no better than the counterweighted stone cannon. The only advantage is that it occupies a small area.

Therefore, standing on the wooden scorpion is a small torsion ballista, not a small counterweight stone cannon.

They are the main long-range strike force of the Qi army today.

What they fired were no longer stone bullets, but thunderbolts after full experiments and repeated debugging and verification.

This thing should be placed on the ballista rack. First, it can’t be too short, it can’t explode on the gun rack, and it can’t fly halfway to explode; second, it can’t be too long. It can explode after landing. It’s okay to be a little shorter , but could not leave enough fire rope for the soldiers to pick it up and throw it away.

"Pass down the order, the whole army is ready for war!" When Wanyan Loushi saw that the Qi army on the other side of the river had already started boarding wooden rafts with great fanfare, and they were about to cross the river in a large scale, what choice could they make?
The Jin army there should go all out and prepare for battle.

It's not that the Jurchens were unprepared. At least a number of watchtowers and arrow towers were set up on the banks of the Liao River, as well as fence parapets.Thousands of hoplites began donning their armor with the help of others.

A thousand hoplites and a cavalry army of less than 500 men, these are the fist strength in Wanyan Loushi's palm.The rest of the troops don't even have iron armor, how can they be considered as the main force?
During the Jurchen's heyday, the legion that Aguda personally led into Yanjing had tens of thousands of heavily armored soldiers.You don't see soldiers wearing leather armor at all.

However, Wanyan Loushi's subordinates not only had leather armored soldiers, but also a large number of unarmored soldiers.The leather robes they still wore were their armor.

With the destruction of the main battle legion, the Jurchen lost not only force, but also a lot of swords and armors. These are the war heritage of one side.

It's far from what A Gu Da Gou can recover from after a year and a half.

"put--"

There was no cover at all. When Mian Muyan rushed to the other side of the Liao River, all the thunderbolts on the ballista were lit, and the sparks flew into the air one by one, towards the bank a hundred meters away. Pan rushed over.

The range of the ballista is not weak, but the place where the Jurchens line up can't be arranged on the shore.The watchtower and arrow tower are a hundred and ten meters away from the shore, the Jurchens are not fools.Defeating the enemy on the shore, the Qi army didn't even wait for the shore, so they turned around and ran away.

Their foothold is to put the leading troops ashore.The number of people does not need to be large, only two to three thousand people. They have the terrain and kill them all. Even if the Qi army turns around and runs away, they are still trying to leave the corpses on the ground.

As for whether they can defeat the enemy, they are still very confident.At that time, there were many female cavalry on the east coast of Liaodong.

It's just that now behind Wanyan Loushi, not only are there no Jurchen cavalry led by Nian Muhe, but the Qi army on the other side will also launch an attack first in a way that is completely beyond their expectations.

One after another, thunderbolts fell on their heads over a distance of sixty or seventy feet.

The weight of Hongtianlei is far less than that of stone bullets, so the range is naturally much longer.

As the north wind blew, some strands of messy hair on Wang Gui's forehead fluttered, and the lower garment of the black war robe swayed slightly.At this time, he stood on the wooden scorpion like a green pine, and he remained motionless despite the cold wind blowing his face.

A pair of eyes stared straight at the blasting thunders that flew out.It was the first time for him to see the torsion ballista firing in front of him, which was very different from the traditional oriental crossbow and trebuchet, which made Wang Gui very curious.

He is no longer the local turtle in the countryside of Zhangde Mansion. In these years, his vision has been more than ten times wider than before.At that time, Wang Gui only thought that the Great Song, Xixia, and Daliao belonged to the world.And his eyes can only focus on Tangyin's three-acre land, but now he knows Nanyang, Tianfang, and the farther Europe and Black Africa.

The outside is not a barbaric land where birds do not lay eggs, and the foreign people are not all barbarians who do not know etiquette and do not understand shit. This strange torsion ballista in front of you came from the west, and that is the best proof. .

In his sight, the Jurchen soldiers on the other side of the river were crowded together on the bank. Their swords and guns were unsheathed, and their arrows and crossbows were ready to go. Everything was in place. The Jurchens were ready to fight.

They would never have imagined that they would play such a card, just like the party member's Poxi army back then.Who would have thought of putting a small trebuchet on the back of a camel?And it is said that the trebuchet on the back of the camel is also torsion-shaped.

The Dangxiang people have connections with Uighur businessmen and Central Asian businessmen, and they may have obtained this technology from the latter.

The original Poxi Army was very powerful. Although their number was not large, their combat power should not be underestimated. "Pulling a stone like a fist" is the annotation of the Poxi Army in the history of Song Dynasty.Whether it is the Imperial Army of Zhao and Song dynasties wearing heavy infantry armor, the generals with shining armor on their chests, or the country soldiers who simply seek some solace in the uniforms made by their mothers, they are all stunned in front of the stones of the Poxi Army. They have become the same, and there is no difference between the armor on their bodies among the flying slings and stones, because the stone slings carry strange energy and can break all obstacles in the roaring wind.Whether it was leather armor, ring armor or zha armor, they were all turned into flying ash under the heavy rain of stone bullets from the Poxi army.

But today, the Jurchens have become the soldiers of Zhao and Song in the past. They understood the meaning of Feiyang in their broken bodies, and their tearful eyes were blurred in the fragments.Just like many Zhao Songjian children died under the rocks back then.In front of Pao Shi, a person is like a drum that is no longer strong, and a dull heavy blow can save a wisp of dead soul.

Now, the Thunderbolt that was shot out by the small torsion ballista has a lethality that is better than that of the Poxi army in the past, bringing more deadly threats and damage to the Jin army.

Small black dots flew towards them one by one, and then fell into the dense crowd of Jurchens.

In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere!
This is a force that can frighten people's hearts.

A bow, no matter how powerful it is, can only hit two holes with one arrow. In front of the thunderous thunder that can make a loud noise and shatter people with one shot, it is like an old and frail old man standing side by side with a sturdy butcher.

The binoculars were placed on Yue Fei's eyes, and at this moment, there was a peony-like smile on the corner of his mouth.
