Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

By the way, book friends who are in the sun, let me remind you: Be sure to keep warm!This disease can't bear any wind and cold. As a person who exercises regularly, I am terribly weak now. I was much better after sweating in the morning, but I lay down again after the wind blowing in the morning.

Also, add more protein and vitamin C.

Chapter 1347 Find a lot of gunpowder materials (first update)

The leader of the Naiman tribe, Yinan Chihan, saw Dang Gu'er.

"My beloved Bed Gu'er, what wind brought you here to me?"

"Yinan Chihan, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I am here to express my most sincere greetings to you."

"Please go to the camp and have a talk."

Everyone entered the camp.

Chuang Gu'er said straight to the point: "My visit this time is related to the Song people."

"Song people?" Yinan Chihan was slightly surprised.

"The Song people attacked Gaochang and captured Gaochang City."

It's also hard that Chi Khan looked even more surprised, and his tone changed: "It's absolutely true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Zhu Gu'er said, "Gaochang has always been subject to His Majesty God Bless the Emperor. Now that the Song people have captured Gaochang, it is equivalent to declaring war on us. But at this time, His Majesty is busy with the westward expedition and has no time to look eastward."

"What do I need to do?"

"The main force of the Song army marches westward, and the rear of Hexi must be empty."

"Do you want me to send troops to Xingzhou?"

"That's true!"

"Since it is His Majesty's will, I will naturally obey it." Yinan Chihan said confidently, "My Naiman tribe has [-] string-controlling cavalry, so the Song Dynasty's defense in Xingzhou is not as good as Xia's defense in Xingzhou." The country is strong?"

"Of course there never was."

"Then my [-] army will march south, and the people of Song Dynasty will become ashes."

"The Sun King should not be taken lightly. The Song people are strong, and even the Jin people have been defeated by them many times."

"I know for myself." Yinan Chihan laughed loudly, "The year before last, some people from our department went south to hunt but never returned. Spying on the defense of the Song people in Xingzhou, there are only more than 1 people, and the troops are scattered."

"Be careful, the Kelie Department has already been defeated by the Song people." Tang Gu'er picked up the wine glass and said with emotion, "Don't be greedy for victory, as long as you can bring panic to the Song army on the front line of Gaochang."

Early in the morning on the first day of August, before dawn, Liu Shu led a group of people out of Gaochang City, heading for a place about 100 miles west of Gaochang City.

After arranging for a while, everyone began to dig.

By noon, it was already a big sun.

Gaochang is a veritable furnace. It is said that the prototype of the Flame Mountain in Journey to the West is here, and it is also the hottest place in the Eastern world.

Hundreds of people participated in the excavation for a long time, but found nothing.

Liu Shu walked over, crossed his hands to the man in front of him, and said, "Shangguan Wang, I didn't find anything."

Wang Si took off his robe, fanned it with a cattail fan, looked at the sky and said, "Why is it so hot in the Western Regions in summer?"

"You don't know, Gaochang is the hottest place." Liu Shu said, "In previous summers, Bi Lege would go to Beiting City at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain to escape the heat."

Wang Xi took a few deep breaths, found a shady place to hide, ordered someone to call Sarti, and asked, "Is there any saltpetre in this area?"

Salti said with a bitter face: "Shangguan, I really didn't hide it deliberately, and I don't know where there is saltpeter. I have never been here before."

"You used to be the prime minister of Gaochang Kingdom anyway. You don't know, and neither do the people below you?"

"Gaochang has never paid attention to saltpeter." Sarti said aggrievedly, "If you need to know how many fields and grapes are planted in Gaochang, I know it all. This grape..."

"I want to know what grapes are for!" Wang Xi said angrily, and then ignored Sarti.

The people of the Western Regions Trading Company began to split up within a radius of three hundred miles.

About 300 people were mobilized on the first day, and the number increased to more than 1000 on the second day, and 5000 people on the third day, and ten groups were divided.

On the morning of the fifth day of August, Liu Shu ran to the construction site early again. Seeing the busy people around him, he felt powerless.

The imperial court said that there is saltpeter here, it seems that there is little hope!

Soon it was noon, everyone was exhausted, sitting in the shade to rest, Wang seemed to walk back with someone, he shook his head, obviously found nothing.

While taking a nap, a loud voice suddenly came from not far away: "It's Glauber's salt!"

His call was especially heard in the silent open space, and those who were drinking water immediately stood up.

"Gratefull! I found Glauber's salt!"

More people were awakened and looked in that direction one after another. After a brief silence, the crowd began to rush in that direction.

"What happened?" Wang seemed to be awakened, wondering.

"Shangguan, I found Glauber's salt!"

"Gratefull?" Muttered, Wang Si almost jumped up and shouted loudly, "Gratefull!"

"Yes!"

Wang Si and Liu Shu hurried over there.

After a while, the dense crowd gave way.

Wang Si walked over, and there were more than a dozen people in front of them, digging hard with military shovels, and dust was everywhere around them.

Wang Si immediately smelled the smell of Glauber's salt.

He rushed over excitedly, squatted on the ground and grabbed a handful, smelled it carefully, and observed it carefully.

Soon, his hands trembled and he swallowed his throat. He said, "It's Glauber's salt! Keep digging! Dig quickly!"

"And rock salt! And rock salt! Dig!"

Everyone was excited, and more people rushed over here.

More and more rock salt was dug out, and more and more saltpeter mines were also dug out.

"Gunpowder! These are the materials for gunpowder!" Wang Si was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He looked around, and found that he could dig out several miles around, and there might be more.

Once there are more, the dilemma of insufficient gunpowder in the imperial court will be easily solved!

In the evening of the same day, the heat faded, and the news was sent to Gaochang City and placed on Liu Kai's desk.

Liu Kai said: "Immediately write eight hundred miles to the capital to expedite!"

"Yes!"

No one knows that the discovery of the Gaochang saltpeter mine will completely change this era.

As time went on to mid-August, a dark torrent of cavalry appeared on the grassland in the northwest of Hebei Province. They were cavalry from the Naiman tribe.

In the early morning of August [-]th, news of an attack on a caravan on the west side of Yinshan Mountain reached the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division.

The perpetrators are said to be more than 1000 Tatars, which is very common in the vast grasslands on the west side of the Yinshan Mountains.

Although the Kelie tribe was annihilated by Yue Yun, the Wang Gu tribe obediently surrendered.

But this does not mean that the grassland is peaceful. As long as these Tatars have horses, bows and arrows, and knives, they can gather millions to rob passing business travelers or harass the pastures.

As the military defense on the west side of Yinshan Mountain, the Heishan Weifu Military Division is also responsible for maintaining order within hundreds of miles.

On this day, two thousand cavalrymen of the Song Army set off from the Weifu Army Division of Heishan in a mighty manner, and headed north quickly all the way.

The leader is Zhang Yi, and he is the Marquis of Duyu of the Weifu Military Division in Heishan.

PS: These two days are really burning.

Chapter 1348

"Report! Marquis Zhang Duyu, Tatars were found [-] miles to the north, about a thousand people."

"Old rules, two teams flank each other, don't let one go!" Zhang Yi ordered immediately.

The cavalry of the Song Army headed north with a huff.

About half an hour later, the Song army had approached the Tatars.

At this time, the scouts rushed to report: "Mr. Zhang Duyu, the Tatars have fled westward."

"Keep chasing!"

How could Zhang Yi let go of such a great opportunity for meritorious service, and the others were also full of chicken blood.

In fact, there are often scattered Tatars on the west side of the Yin Mountain. These people are either the remnants of the Kret tribe, or the Naiman tribe who went south to hunt or rob.

How many Tatars there are in the grasslands, even the Tatar ministries themselves don't know. After all, there is no household department in the grasslands to do population statistics.

As a result, these scattered Tatars became frequent targets for frontier soldiers.

This kind of situation often happened during the powerful Central Plains Dynasty. For example, in Anlu Mountain back then, he took a group of people out when there was nothing to do, and came back with a bunch of heads.

At present, many military towns on the front line of Yinshan in the Song Dynasty also adhere to the tactics of quick attack and quick elimination every day, which has dealt a heavy blow to those scattered Tatars.

However, this time, it was different.

When Zhang Yi chased to the west for about [-] miles, the scouts suddenly reported in a panic: "Marquis Zhang Duyu, a large number of Tatar cavalry have been found to the north!"

"how many?"

"At least ten thousand people!"

Zhang Yi immediately said: "Withdraw!"

The crowd turned around and withdrew to the southeast.

Before they had gone far, the scouts came to report again: "Report! Marquis Zhang Duyu, a large number of Tatars were found in the south, ten thousand people!"

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he might have been tricked.

Not long after, there was a sound of iron hooves in the wind, just like the sound of waves in the night wind.

After a while, the ground began to tremble slightly.

A large black mass of cavalry flows on the grassland, both in the south and north.

The Song army in the middle is like a drop in the ocean.

Zhang Yi immediately withdrew from the east, but the opponent obviously came prepared, the flanks had already bent and opened, and gradually blocked the way of the Song army.

"Marquis Zhang Du Yu! What should we do now?"

Zhang Yi immediately sent several people, obviously to let these scouts break out quickly to ask for help.

Immediately, he said again: "Everyone get off their horses and line up! Let's fight with them!"

Zhang Yi wanted to fight a defensive battle, but now he was still using cavalry, so he could only fight a charge with the Tatars. The strength of the troops was not at the same level. If they fought head-on, even if Yue Yun came, he would not be able to win.

But infantry defensive warfare is different.

Song Jun dismounted quickly and began to form a circular formation, forming a solid circle.

The forwards of the Naiman tribe attacked the Song army with cavalry and shooting, and the Song army fought back with a strong crossbow. In the dust, many forwards of the Naiman tribe fell off their horses.

After losing more than two dozen forwards, the Naiman Division had to withdraw.

"Report! The sun is sweaty, the people of Song Dynasty are amazing!" Forward Agulie hurried back and reported the situation.

"How great is it?"

"The shooting range is higher than our cavalry shooting. Our people have not yet approached, and they have already been shot."

"Agulie, I order you to charge and kill the Song army. If you can't break the Song army's formation, I will kill you!"

"Please add another 2000 people to me! I will destroy the Song army!"

Yinan Chihan was historically a hero in the western part of the Mongolian grassland. According to the historical data of the Kingdom of Jin, he is brave and good at fighting, and he is surrounded by various tribes.

In short, there are many tribes scattered in the western part of the Mongolian grassland. At the beginning, it was a mess, and there were many rebellious ones, but they were all subdued by Yinan Chihan one by one.

In a word: This person has a harder fist.

Agule's [-] forwards charged again, and under the crossbow of the Song army, more than a dozen riders fell off their horses.

But no one stopped, and no one turned around. They screamed strangely, held long knives, and roared towards Song Jun.

The Song army, who did not carry a large shield, was penetrated by the Naiman tribe in one place, and the two sides fell into hand-to-hand combat.

More cavalry swarmed up, and an extremely tragic fight began.

"Report! The Song army's formation was broken by our army!"
