Chapter 516 Death Movement (5)
"Ming Gong, what surprises should I say?"
"Everyone, the Western Xia general Renduolingding bewitched some Huanzhou foreign tribes, causing these Huanzhou tribes to betray the Song Dynasty. However, before they reached the city of Huanzhou, they were destroyed by Zhong Yi. What tools did Zhong Yi use to quickly march in Malings?"
"I have heard of this, it seems to be a strange board." One instructor said.
"So can we quickly come from Ningzhou to Qingzhou with the help of this kind of skateboard?"
In fact, there were also skis in ancient times. The "New Book of Tang" records that the ghosts went to the capital for 5,000 miles, and directly northeast of the Black Water Marine, and north of Shaohai. There were no seas on the north. The people scattered around the islands, mostly drowned, and had the advantage of fish and salt. The ground fleas were cold and frost and snow. The trees were six inches wide and seven feet long, tied to them to slaughter and chased away animals. There were many dogs, and they used skin as furs, and the customs were bleached. Millets were like weeds and small, without vegetables to bury other valleys. They were defeated by tens of thousands of soldiers. They were adjacent to Mo Yi Shi in the south, and sailed southeast for fifteen days, and even. In the 14th year of Zhenguan, the king sent his son Ke Ye Yu Mo Diao Fur to court three times. He was appointed as the commander of the cavalry and sent him.
Hei River is Heilongjiang, and Shaohai is Xiaohai. However, there has always been controversy about where this Liugui Country is. Some people say it is Sakhalin Island, but Sakhalin Island does not block the sea on three sides, but is surrounded by sea on all sides. Therefore, the second statement is that this Liugui Country is in the western bay area of the Sea of Okhotsk in the northern part of Sakhalin Island, and in the north of the Jiwei Kingdom. However, it is still contrary to surrounding the sea on three sides, so most people support it is the Kamchatka Peninsula.
This is very consistent with historical records. It blocks the sea from three sides, with fleas on the ground, fleas and snow, and no vegetables to other valleys. It is 15,000 miles away from Dengzhou. Even if it is windy, sailing boats will take half a month to reach Dengzhou.
Maybe this king heard about the Tang Dynasty from somewhere. So he sent the prince to travel 15,000 miles to the Tang Dynasty. But Li Shimin was stunned when he heard the distance between the Liugui Country and the Tang Dynasty. We were really not interested in your Liugui Country. So he was awarded an official, gave some gifts, and sent the prince away.
However, Sakhalin Island also appeared in the Tang Dynasty: There is also a Simu tribe in the northwest of Hei Shui (Tribe). It took ten days to travel north to get the Junli tribe, and it took ten days to travel north to get the Kou Said tribe. It was also called Qushe, and it took the Mo Ye tribe ten days to travel southeast to get the Mo Ye tribe.
This cave sect is located in the northern part of Sakhalin Island. The Moray tribe may be the Moray tribe, which is the Hokkien that once paid tribute with the Japanese state, and later Hokkaido.
However, because of limited understanding, Sima Guang and Ouyang Xiu had to write historical books based on their imagination, thinking that the Liugui Kingdom was on Sakhalin Island, so they wrote a sentence: It was often blocked, and first attached to Baekje, and later attached to Silla and Dongyi.
Because people are so far away, why should they attach Baekje and Silla?
However, this is not important in the Song Dynasty. Even the small Xixia cannot be dealt with, so what is the Sakhalin Island and the Kamchatka Peninsula?
But in this paragraph, there is a saying: The wood is six inches wide and seven feet long, tied to it to sank ice and chased beasts. This one is six inches wide and seven feet long is a ski, so what kind of beasts are chasing? The skin is used as a fur. In fact, this beast that takes the skin is a specialty sable on the Kamchatka Peninsula, an extremely precious fur beast.
The ability to use snowboards to chase the sable shows its speed.
However, although Ouyang Xiu recorded this sentence when he revisited the Tang Book, he did not think about it seriously.
Perhaps after this battle, he could still remember his words in the New Book of Tang, and then he would react.
In fact, many historical materials also record that snowboards appeared in many tribes in the extreme north, called Trojans, used for travel or hunting. Since they were used for hunting, they would probably be used for combat. However, because the civilizations in these areas were backward and there was no written record, even if they conflicted with the Central Plains civilization, it would be in spring, summer and autumn, and snowboards were useless. Therefore, the use of military purposes in historical materials is almost nowhere to be seen.
But the Song Dynasty certainly did not, and the Western Xia Dynasty did not.
Therefore, this time it played an important role as a surprise weapon.
Zhang Feng said again: "There are Dachuan on both sides of Qingzhou, the Maling River on the left and Yanqing River on the right, and ice was formed together. At this time, Wang Zi'an's office had a huge army, and the entire 28th Battalion of Poche Army. There may be more than 20 battalions of Yongxing Army reinforcements to arrive tomorrow. However, it has nothing to do with the reinforcements of Yongxing Army tonight. The ones who came with Wang Zi'an were the 28th Battalion of Poche Army and the first battalion of Qinzhou cavalry. The 28th Battalion of Poche Army will use this skateboard to quickly reach Qingzhou and the rear of the enemy camp outside Qingzhou City."
"Wow, I understand why Gong Ming asked the three armies to wait for mutton." Everyone said happily.
It is not that the soldiers drink and eat meat, but that they use this meat to stimulate them not to sleep. Once they fall asleep, their bodies will become soft and they will have no strength to fight.
"That's right, you go back and notify your soldiers with this message, so that they can eat and prepare to start a war."
"Then Ming Gong will arrive soon."
"It should be soon, and have you not seen the enemy's camp?"
"Enemy's camp?" Many people were stunned for a moment, but then they understood each other and started screaming happily.
Wang Ju came faster than Zhang Shi thought.
Behind Qingzhou City is the intersection of Maling Water and Yanqingzhou. With this as the center, a flat area is formed. But there is still a vast mountainous terrain around it. Not far from the back gate of Qingzhou City is a stone bridge, which spans the Yanqing Water, and in the past it was the Avenue to Ningzhou.
On the right side of this main road is a series of mountains. In the past, the people of Qingzhou were dirty and unable to drink water because the water of the two rivers was dirty, so the people went out of the city to build canals and divert water from the valley, and obtained the spring water from the west mountain. It was not until Sun Changqing came to Qingzhou, and he spent some money and silk, and sent a special person to find suitable water sources in the city and dug a hundred wells, which solved the drinking water problem of the people in Qingzhou city.
Behind the West Mountain, a huge army gathered on the Zhengmaling waterside. Some were on the ice of the river, some were on the shore. The ice of the river was infantry, and a small number of cavalry were on the shore.
Qu Zhen said with a surprised expression: "Ming Gong, they are faster than riding a horse."
To be precise, the speed is about the same.
However, when riding on horseback, the road will be uneven and there will be some twists and turns, but the infantry came almost in a straight line with the help of snowboards. So they came here earlier than the cavalry and had to wait for the cavalry behind them.
Not only Qu Zhen and Zhao Long were surprised, but even the Five Hundred Riders they brought were also incredible.
Wang Ju smiled. In fact, this snowboard might be the same as Liu Yu's moon formation, and it will become a masterpiece because it is too restrictive. First of all, it must work in cold weather. However, how many times of the Song Dynasty were in cold weather and fighting in the north? Even if it is fighting, it is mostly passive defense.
Secondly, where can I find rivers like Maling Water and Yanqing Water?
Wang Junwan came over, looking incredible, as if he had seen a ghost. He said, "Ming Gong, will the people of Xixia be deceitful?"
“Why?”
"Ming Gong, come here."
Wang Junwan led Wang Ju to the nearby top of the Tushan Mountain, which belongs to the rear of Qingzhou City, but the road is slightly southeast. Due to the angle, you can see a small part of the summer camp situation.
Wang Ju raised his telescope and looked over there.
Wang Junwan said: "This is not right. Could it be that they have ambush?"
Wang Ju also frowned.
Generally, when a large army camps in the field, the first thing they do is to set up tents and build fences. Therefore, there is an idiom called setting up camps and setting up tents for sleeping and building fences. They are used for defense.
Even if you are not on the front line, you must repair the fence to prevent accidents. If the two armies face off, they will still be equipped with horse-rejecting horses on the fence.
So that day, Yao Lin saw that Xia Jun had a free time, so he had to go in through the gate first and then break through from that free time.
This is the most basic rule of marching.
However, Song Ji came to the city of Qingzhou and immediately created a siege ladder to launch an attack. Anyway, there were many troops. Even if there was no extravagant force in Rouyuanzhai, he had 20,000 troops under his command, which was several times the strength of the Song army in the city. Even the people inside and outside the city were not as strong as those under his tent.
But this is Qingzhou City, with many people. The nearby wood has been almost cut down, so it is difficult for the Xia army to obtain wood. Most of the wood cut out has created siege ladders, so the camping speed has slowed down.
Originally, after several night attacks by the Song army, Song Ji should have to be careful. But the cavalry he sent back to report that the surrounding Song army had very few troops, such as Fuchengzhai on the flank of Qingzhou City and Jingui Town behind, were almost an empty city, with only a few strong men and yamen runners maintaining order.
Then Liang Yimeng used a fast horse to send Wang Zangbu to analyze that Liang Yimeng was intended to ask Song Ji to speed up the attack and take down Qingzhou City as soon as possible to end the battle. And this attack was delayed for many days, and the Song army's surprise attack on Dashun City and Baibao City, and if it dragged on, the food and logistics would be in trouble. If he had obtained Qingzhou City as soon as possible and there were still a lot of supplies in Qingzhou City, it would be possible to solve the urgent needs of the Xia army.
However, this information did not expect that Song Ji was even more relaxed. At least the situation of the Ranger inquiry during the day was very consistent with Wang Zangbu's analysis. In fact, there were almost no troops behind the forts and important towns behind Qingzhou City.
So Song Ji was only concerned about siege and wanted to make military achievements. He attacked until nearly three o'clock in the morning. The three armies rested. The fence of the battalion had not been laid yet. There was a thread on the front and a thread on the back, but there was no thread on both sides.
Isn’t this just enough for the Poche Army to truly invade the Xixia camp with the help of snowboards?
Wang Junwan didn't believe it after seeing it, and Wang Ju felt very strange. He rubbed his eyes and stared at the distance, but he really couldn't figure it out.
Song Ji was relaxed. What was funny was that he was still thinking of making great achievements for Xixia, but it made both Wang Ju and Wang Junwan feel suspicious.
Wang Junwan said: "It's really not possible, I'll go over and take a look."
"Okay," Wang Judao. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of what if the people of Xixia make a fool of themselves.
Wang Junwan went down the Tushan Mountain and borrowed snowboards from a Song army. A few years ago, Wang Ju went to Sanyuan and made snowboards in large quantities. Then he circled a valley and blocked the valley, so that the three armies could practice. Wang Junwan also practiced curiously.
However, he didn't practice for a long time, so he staggered to slide towards the enemy camp. Some Poche soldiers couldn't help but laugh when they saw their majestic General Wang's posture.
Wang Ju stood by the river, looked at Wang Junwan's clumsy posture, smiled, and then quietly waited for his news.
The Song army in Qingzhou City also started to eat meat and drink.
But at this moment, their mood was a world of difference from what they had just happened.
The Xia army outside the city was very quiet. They were also people. They marched from Rouyuanzhai to the city of Qingzhou and walked a long way. Then they cut down and attacked the city. In order to boost morale, Song Ji passed on Wang Zangbu's analysis. There was no Song army behind them, so everyone should be assured to attack the city boldly. As long as they take down the city, there will be a lot of wealth and many beautiful Han girls in the city.
After this transmission, morale was indeed boosted, and they almost broke through Qingzhou City several times. However, due to fatigue and slackness, the three armies fell down and immediately fell asleep. In addition to some patrol troops near the front of Qingzhou City, the remaining camp was like a city without defense.
Wang Junwan lay beside a clump of dry reeds, looking at it with a telescope, and opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
He secretly used the reeds by the river to sneak past. He found nothing, but heard a large snoring sound. If it weren't for the many bonfires in the enemy camp, Wang Junwan would have suspected that he could sneak in and touch the enemy's chief.
So he slid back and reported the situation.
Wang Ju scratched his head. The information he learned was that since the Xia army was attacked by the Song army several times at night, all of which began to increase their vigilance at night. Why did this scene happen outside Qingzhou City?
He still couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't delay it and said, "Divide the troops."
The army was divided into three, and the infantry continued to use skateboards to surround the two sides of Yanqingzhou and Malings. However, these two troops were divided into two small units, and the main force rushed towards the enemy's camp, and then rushed forward toward the enemy's camp.
Wang Ju himself led Zhao Long, a battalion of foreign cavalry, and a small number of Poche cavalry, and then rushed straight to Qingzhou City.
Zhang Qi was standing on the back city and looking at it. The people of Xixia could not see it, even the Song army on the city was not visible to the naked eye. However, Zhang Qi had already seen the Song army gliding rapidly along the Maling Water from the telescope.
He immediately said, "Open the city gate and gather the three armies."
At this time, everyone was eating and drinking almost the same.
Hearing the order, one of them hurriedly got up and gathered, preparing for the battle.
At this time, Zhang Feng had already seen Wang Ju take the lead and rush over on horseback, but before their cavalry, the two infantry had already slid to the intersection of the two waters outside Qingzhou City, and then split into two, continuing to slide along the two waters.
Wang Ju also came to the city gate. The city gate had already opened. Zhang Feng and Qingzhou officials greeted him at the city gate.
Seeing Wang Ju, officials from all over the world shouted together: "I have met Ming Gong."
It has nothing to do with qualifications, but Gyeongju needs a backbone at this time. Although Zhang Feng did a good job, the enemy is somewhat unreasonable. Although Wang Ju may be the youngest Gyeongju magistrate in history, Wang Ju is good at military affairs. What kind of Gyeongju needs most now? A magistrate who understands military affairs!
Wang Juqi bowed his hand on the horse. Now is not the time to be in a hurry. After bowing his hand, he immediately asked Zhang Qi: "Where are the officers and soldiers in the city?"
"I asked them to assemble at the gate of the North City."
"Follow me." After Wang Ju said that, he rushed to the north city gate with the cavalry.
Of course, this also alarmed the people nearby. Someone opened the door to watch. When they saw the city gate open, they exclaimed: "The enemy has entered the city."
"What are you calling? The magistrate is coming with a large army." A clerk roared. The new magistrate personally led his troops to kill the enemy, but because of this call, he immediately started civil strife in the city.
"The magistrate is here, where is it?"
"I've gone to kill the enemy."
"The magistrate killed the enemy?" Several people were stunned. Those who served as the magistrate of Qingzhou for many years were all literati, but can literati go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?
In fact, they didn't know that Zhang Kang and Wang Shao strictly said that they were also scholars and officials, at least from Jinshi, but they also went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, especially Wang Shao, who repeatedly charged in front of the battle.
However, the previous magistrates of Gyeongzhou were all orthodox scholars and officials, and none of them could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so these people said they didn't understand.
At this moment, countless screams came from outside the city... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
