Chapter 829 Solution

There was a scream and howl ahead, and the Cochin people were completely stunned!

Their archers began to fire arrows blindly under this terrifying power.

However, the shooting range of the bamboo bow was obviously not enough, and all the arrows were inserted crookedly dozens of steps in front of the Song army's line.

The front line did not pause at all, but continued to move forward slowly, because Li Xian's command, the sword pattern, changed with the neat whistle: "Second column, move forward - prepare - release!"

When the first column began to reload, the second and third columns had already moved forward in front of them, and then the second column opened fire.

The three fronts rolled forward like this, and each time they exchanged, they sprayed 500 steel-cored lead bullets at the enemy formation.

The paper-shell bullets used in the magic gun can now be completed by military masters such as Di Yong, Sun Neng, and Zhong Yi twelve times in one minute, with an average of five seconds to complete a standard action.

Of course, this is the result of hard training. It is too harsh to require all new soldiers to meet this standard.

However, after changing to a three-stage method, it is still possible for three groups of soldiers to achieve the shooting speed of Di Yong and the others.

In just one minute, the new army fired 6,000 rounds of ammunition at the enemy formation!

Almost in the blink of an eye, a large portion of the Cochin people's front army fell!

I don't know who shouted in the formation: "Charge! Close the melee! Melee!"

Li Yue's army roared again and charged towards the Song army.

Seeing Li Yuejun, who still had morale, Liu Shiheng, who was wearing a turban, couldn't help but be stunned: "Are they all crazy?"

Little Prime Minister Gao smacked his lips: "I probably know why Dali's 200,000-strong army was defeated by them..."

Liu Ji shook his head, not knowing whether he was pitying his former comrades or trying to find reasons for his previous behavior: "It's useless...it's still useless..."

Guo Kui raised his hand, and Yanda took the flag and looked coldly at the remnants of Li Yue's army who rushed over with desperate and fanatical sacrifice emotions. As soon as they rushed into the cavalry's sprint range, he had to let the left and right

The hatchback cavalry attacked again.

Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian did not waver at all, but the frequency of whistles and volleys increased slightly.

The Jiaozhi people rushed closer one after another, and fell one after another. Until seven or eight thousand people were lying down in front of the formation, Guo Kui did not lower his raised right hand.

The Jiaozhi people finally lost their nerve. All six thousand cavalry troops were wiped out, and nearly 40,000 infantry troops were reduced to 20%. They still failed to get within a hundred steps of the enemy's formation!

The military morale completely collapsed at this moment.

Just when the Cochin people loosened their formation and prepared to retreat, Guo Kui's hand finally fell.

Yanda's flag pointed forward, Zhang Shiju and Wang Min urged their horses: "Kill!"

Li Xian became anxious, handed the knife to his left hand, and pulled out the wheel gun with his right hand: "Come on -"

Wang Zhongzheng had no choice but to wave his sword forward: "Kill——"

Yi Jinjun started to jog, and Prime Minister Gao became anxious and raised his hands to Guo Kui: "Mr. Jing Lue..."

The smile lines at the corners of Guo Kui's eyes wrinkled: "Master Gao Xiang, let's go too."

"Hey!" Mr. Gao didn't dare to show off his sword in front of Guo Kui. He turned around and pulled out a Erlin-style two-handed long sword from the waist of one of his guards: "Follow me! Kill--"

Guard: "..."

On February 25, the 10th year of Xining, Su You left the Taishan and set foot on Jiaozhi for the first time.

Ten-year-old Li Qiande, wearing a white linen robe, with a seal hanging on his elbow, and with his upper body naked, knelt at the city gate to greet the recipient of the Song Dynasty Du Jiaozhi.

Su You stepped forward and helped Li Qiande up: "Don't be scared, the prince. Your Majesty has already made a decree. 'The moral character is immature, and the government is not done by oneself. On the day when the court was founded, the treatment will be the same as before.' When I go to Bianjing, study hard and learn more. , it’s actually not a bad thing to change your way of living.”

Li Qiande's face was still very frightened. National upheavals were happening one after another, and he couldn't figure out what the gentle smiling uncle in front of him was like.

Su You took off the seal from Li Qiande's body and asked Shi Wei to get the clothes he had prepared in advance and help Li Qiande put it on: "I heard that Concubine Yilan Yuan committed suicide and left a letter before she died, asking you to devote yourself to learning. Asking about political affairs?”

Li Qiande looked in a daze: "Empress... mother, she..."

Su You sighed: "Just stay with me these days, Prince. No one will dare to bully you anymore. My wife rescued you from the inner palace. You should be familiar with her."

Li Qiande glanced at Shi Wei and his expression became a little better: "I didn't know before that the person who saved me... was Shaobao's Commander-in-Chief..."

Hearing this, Su You said: "She is a good doctor. She said that you were frightened. As long as you take care of it, the prince will be fine in a few days."

Li Qiande lowered his head: "Yes."

Su You patted his arm gently, and Li Qiande stood behind him politely.

Li Daocheng and Li Wensheng submitted their household registrations and maps respectively. Su You ordered Chao Buzhi to accept them, and then they greeted them: "Let us keep these ceremonies as simple as possible. This time we are not here to destroy the country, but to restore it." The people of Jiaozhi will return peace and happiness to the people of Nanhai."

Li Daocheng breathed a sigh of relief and saluted again: "Thank you, Master, for your understanding."

Su You quickly supported Li Daocheng: "Don't be like this, Mr. Wang. I have admired Mr. Wang for a long time. From now on, we will all be ministers in the same palace. Su You still needs more advice from Mr. Wang."

After that, he added: "But one thing comes to another. I have just received another battle report. Ten days ago, Li Changjie ordered 40,000 troops to attack my troops crossing the Furiang River rashly. They were defeated by Guo Kui, the commander-in-chief of the Annan camp."

"This battle caused heavy losses to your army. Six thousand cavalry and sixteen thousand infantry were annihilated, and tens of thousands of people were captured. The twin peaks of Yanpian Mountain have now been occupied by our army, and the passage between the two mountains has been occupied by our army. Total control.”

"There are still more than 20,000 remnants of your army. They are now completely blocked in the triangle area between Yanpian Mountain, Fuliang River, and Dunhe River. There is no hope of breaking out, and they lack food and medicine. There are also hundreds of thousands of innocent people who are being carried away. People, I heard that...the army has begun to kill elephants for food."

"For dozens of miles around the bottom of Yanpian Valley, there are bloodstains everywhere, and corpses of men and horses are lying on the ground. Now our army is condescending, and your troops are completely under our artillery fire. Any further resistance will be meaningless except for more killings."

"Out of benevolence and justice, I think you should send people as soon as possible to seize Li Changjie's military power and order the sergeants to surrender."

"Guo Jinglue's letter to me also had the same meaning, and stated that the Battle of Cochin must be ended before the rainy season in March."

"He can only wait until the 27th at most, which means there are still three days left."

Li Wensheng said anxiously: "I'm going to find Yang Huai'en right now. If he doesn't dare to go again, I'll tie him up too!"

Su You shook his head: "Actually, there is another person who is more suitable."

After speaking, he turned around and saluted Li Qiande: "Prince, if you come forward, you will definitely be able to save these 200,000 soldiers and civilians."

After all, Li Qiande was only ten years old. After another fright, his face turned pale again: "I..."

Su You said softly: "Although you are still a child, you are still the king of Jiaozhi after all, and they are still your subjects."

"This war was nominally started under your will, the prince, so now it should be your responsibility to rescue them from the poison of separation."

"No matter where you go in the future, Prince, you will always be a Cochin native."

"This may be the last time you fulfill your responsibility for the people of Cochin. Leave your legacy and a good story behind. No matter where you are in the future, they will miss you and respect you."

"Zhang Yungu, a minister of the Tang Dynasty, said in the "Dabao Zhen" which admonished Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, 'Therefore, one person should rule the world, and the world should not serve one person.' Prince, think about what the people have done for you, and What have you done for them?"

Li Qiande's eyes were a little red, and he replied: "I am young and virtuous, and Jiaozhi is located in a remote place. It is difficult to meet famous teachers. I don't understand many principles. If I can get the teachings of my teacher, I should follow suit."

Su You helped him up: "Don't worry, the prince will not be allowed to go to dangerous places. You only need to climb up and shout, and the lies fabricated by Li Changjie will naturally be self-defeating."

Shi Wei also encouraged: "Qiande, be brave, I will protect you."

One sentence is more effective than Su You's words. Li Qiande seemed to have some courage and nodded: "Yes."

…

On February 27, the tenth year of Xining, Li Qiande crossed the river and came to the front line of Song and Yue. Accompanied by county ministers Li Wensheng and Shi Wei, he climbed Yanpian Mountain, raised the royal flag, issued an edict, and asked Li Yue's army and people to Lay down your weapons and surrender through the Song army's lines.

Su You instructed the front line to treat the captive civilians kindly, and at the same time pay attention to isolation and screening, so that soldiers and civilians could report the evil deeds of leaders to each other. The innocent should not be harmed, but the culprit should not be let go.

However, it is basically impossible to implement it. No matter how high-sounding the diplomatic rhetoric is, it is not the same as the actual operation. After receiving the list of war criminals reported by Guo Kui, Su You knew that there was a trend of expansion.

Li Yuejun's top commanders were almost wiped out.

Su You just pretended not to know, and with a stroke of his pen, more than a thousand commanders of the invading army were executed on the edge of the Fuliang River and then thrown into the river.

The Song Dynasty was benevolent and never engaged in anything that showed atrocities in Jingguan. The Jiaozhi troops who entered Jiaozhi territory and died on the battlefield were all cremated by Su You on the pretext of preventing the plague, and those who could be thrown into the river were thrown into the river.

Not showing the mountains or showing the water, Jiaozhi's hundreds of thousands of troops have disappeared into the hot and humid mountains and rivers.

It was just the fish and turtles from the Furian River that no one dared to eat until a few years later.
