Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 203 The battle between Xishu and Xiangyang

People in Jianghu sects may not be rare in gold and silver, but they attach great importance to martial arts secrets. When the five major sects besieged Shaolin, Yang Xin fulfilled his promise perfectly and meticulously, creating a good reputation.

The whole Jianghu was in an uproar. From time to time, Mengyuan people and Semu people were assassinated, and then their heads were cut off. Needless to say, these heads were either exchanged for gold and silver or martial arts secrets.

At first, people in the Jianghu just killed the Mongolian Yuan cavalry and Semu people who were alone, but later, they found that the efficiency of this method was too slow, and the people in the Jianghu began to deliberately form cliques and join forces. The people in the rivers and lakes even attacked the established army.

Next, Mingjiao, which was far away in Guangmingding, raised the banner of anti-Yuan, and for a while, the area ruled by the Mongolian Yuan was full of wars.Yuan Huizong, who was far away in Dadu, issued an imperial decree to urge King Ruyang to attack Xiangyang, so that after destroying Yang Xin's forces, he would free up troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion.

Yuan Huizong's imperial decree not only did not allow King Ruyang to capture Xiangyang, but instead became a reminder for King Ruyang.When Mongolia attacked the Southern Song Dynasty back then, it took more than ten years to besiege the Xiangyang defenders due to the strength of the Mongolian army at that time. Now, Yang Xin's soldiers are strong and powerful, and their weapons are advanced, while the Mongolian Yuan has no advantages other than the large number of people. Word.

Even if King Ruyang ordered his subordinates to attack Xiangyang City desperately, under the defense system constructed by Yang Xin artillery, Gatling machine guns and muskets, the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers had no choice but to die. Walk.

As for the method commonly used by Meng Yuan to drive the people to attack the city, it didn't work at all in front of Yang Xin.

Although Yu Lianzhou and others expressed that they could go out of the city to save the people, Yang Xin firmly stopped them!Yu Lianzhou and others clearly remembered what Yang Xin said at that time.

It's not that I'm cold-blooded, but when this group of people rushed towards Xiangyang, they were already enemies, even if they were unarmed, they were enemies.They are only afraid of the sharpness of the swords in the hands of the Meng Yuan cavalry, aren't they afraid of the harm of the spear in my hands?If they really have the guts, why don't they turn around and fight Meng Yuan to the death?
I just want to let them know that if you attack Xiangyang, there will be ten deaths and no life, and you will fight with Meng Yuan to death and nine deaths. After all, we can use artillery to help them escape from a long distance, but look at them, how did they have the heart to fight? Looking back, there is still a glimmer of hope for fighting with Meng Yuan. If they don't fight to the death, they will be driven by Meng Yuan to attack the city.

Why?It’s not just those pedantic thoughts in your minds for thousands of years, today, I will completely eradicate those pedantic thoughts in your minds, and also completely erase the trace of luck in their hearts.Those who are numb will die, and there will be no place to bury them; if you work hard, you will not only be rich, but also promoted and rich.

Therefore, Yang Xin immediately formulated a twenty-level military merit title system, imitating the pre-Qin Dynasty, and creating a military meritorious aristocracy. Anyone who wanted to become a noble must exchange for Meng Yuan's head. Considering that the intensity of killing enemies was greatly reduced due to the advent of muskets and other weapons. , Yang Xin increased the difficulty tenfold. As long as he killed ten Meng Yuan cavalry, he would obtain a first-class knight, become a public servant, and be given corresponding land.

There is a statistical method for group combat achievements in group combat.

As soon as the military title system was introduced, it caused an earthquake-like shock in the entire army. The soldiers were gearing up to get the enemy's heads and be promoted to the nobility, and their morale was instantly improved.The military title system established by Yang Xin is not only applicable to the military, but also to civilians. However, it is more difficult for civilians to obtain titles. Even so, it has been unanimously praised by the civilian population.

Taking advantage of King Ruyang's main force attacking the city, Yang Xin asked Zhang Songxi to lead an army of [-] to set off quietly from the east gate, then pass through Xinye to Nanyang, cross the Han River at a place where the Meng Yuan army had no time to take care of, and circle behind King Ruyang's army .

The King of Ruyang saw that Xiangyang could not be attacked for a long time and suffered heavy losses, so he gradually became determined to protect himself. Then he saw that the world was full of wars and smoke, and Meng Yuan seemed to be on the verge of exhaustion, so he postponed the attack and prepared to defend himself by seizing troops.

During this period, Yang Xin did not go out of the city to attack King Ruyang's headquarters. Instead, he mobilized 20 troops to start a expedition to the west. Starting from Xiangyang, the troops were divided into two groups, one group went straight to Sichuan, and the other group attacked Guanzhong.

The routine used by the Western Army is still the same as Zhang Songxi’s routine during the Eastern Expedition. Yang Xin’s troops first defeated Meng Yuan’s West Army, and then followed the defeated Western Army, walking and fighting all the way. Few, most of the cities are watching the wind fall.

The Western Army was not polite and directly took over the city defense, and then used the previous routines, such as asking surrendered soldiers to submit certificates of surrender, dividing fields, tax exemptions, recruiting young men to join the army, etc. This routine was already used by Yang Xin's troops to perfection.

That is to say, the lands of Guanzhong and Bashu are more difficult and time-consuming. However, the Xichao army is not in a hurry, and strictly follows the infantry drills and established plans. No matter how provocative you Mengyuan is, I will stand still. Push horizontally step by step.

The Mongolian and Yuan troops in Sichuan, Shu and Guanzhong were also very helpless. They couldn't defeat them at all. They held the city and defended it for fear that the people would secretly open the city gates and welcome the western army into the city. The Mongolian and Yuan troops in the two places saw that they could not violate the situation and fled westward. , fled to Tubo, and then the armies of the two places joined forces, detoured to Xiliang, prepared to return to Dadu, and then retreated to the grassland.

As a result, the troops from Sichuan, Shu and Guanzhong had just merged into one place, passed by Xiliang, and confronted the Mingjiao army advancing eastward. The Mongolian and Yuan cavalry could not defeat Yang Xin's troops, but they were not worried at all that they would not be able to defeat the Mingjiao army. The two sides directly launched a war.

Although Mingjiao has many masters, Mingjiao is a Jianghu sect after all, and its actions are mostly based on the thinking of Jianghu sect. Although the Mingjiao Five Elements Banner is extremely elite, it is not a real army after all. Once the two sides come into contact, the Mongolian Yuan cavalry will use their cavalry skills to the fullest. To the extreme, after paying a certain amount of casualties, the Mingjiao army was severely damaged.

The Mongolian and Yuan cavalry did not rush to kill them all, but ran straight along the Jiubian line to Datong and Taiyuan, and then returned to Dadu.

After this heavy blow, the mighty Mingjiao army completely damaged their foundations, so they retreated to the Guangming Peak and began to cultivate.

Yang Xin's Zhang Songxi Department started the general attack after completing the siege of King Ruyang's army. Yang Xin first used artillery to shoot across the river to destroy the morale of King Ruyang's army. Yang Xinbing went out of Xiangyang and went directly across the river to fight.

When King Ruyang's army wanted to cross the Han River and attack, Zhang Songxi's troops broke out from King Ruyang's army in time and killed King Ruyang's army by surprise. Yang Xin's army crossed the Han River and was attacked from both sides. Wang's army was defeated miserably, and King Ruyang also fell on the road to charge.

As soon as King Ruyang died, the command system was paralyzed, and the army under his command completely messed up the establishment, and the Han and Southerners in King Ruyang's army saw that the situation was over, so they simply turned against each other and killed the Mongolian and Yuan people. Semuren, while using their heads as a badge of honor, they also use their heads as military merit for their promotion.

Under the attack from three sides, King Ruyang's army disappeared.
