Chapter 1968 Jagged army soul! The most elite military brigade in the Song Dynasty
Almost at the same time that several important military states along the coast in the southeastern region of the Song Dynasty fell to Li Jun's surprise attacks by land and water, Dongting Lake also assembled the main force of the Song army to conquer Zhong Xiang, and the war was almost coming to an end.
Although the Great Sage Heavenly King Zhongxiang is still in charge of the overall situation, there are dozens of water forts in the Dongting Lake waters with vehicles and boats, soldiers and farmers, fighting on land and water to fight with the government and the army, and there are people who have been captured and obeyed before, and they are also determined in terms of shipbuilding skills.
Not inferior to Meng Kang, Ye Chun's shipbuilder Gao Xuan assisted him and restructured and innovated more than ten types of large ships, which were used to cooperate with loach ships and other warships in the Dongting Lake area. However, because the land was previously commanded by Yue Fei,
The Yue family's army was defeated and had to huddle in the waters of Dongting Lake. This also made the fatal shortcomings of Zhong Xiang's power infinitely expanded...
After all, it still lacks strategic depth and has no room for maneuver and retreat. Just like Chao Gai at the time, Song Jiang only guarded one stronghold in Liangshan, Shuibao. If the 800-mile Shuibao was breached by the enemy and landed, his military strength would be at an absolute disadvantage.
Under such circumstances, they will inevitably be caught in one fell swoop and annihilated...
However, on the south bank of Jingjiang River in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, there are vast smoke waves. There are afterflames and thick smoke rising everywhere on the endless lake. Many ship hulls are seriously damaged. The carriages and big ships that are about to sink into the lake are also surrounded by the broken pieces of the Song army.
There are a large number of shipwrecks, and on the originally beautiful lake, the corpses of soldiers from the water squadron are floating all over the place like dead fish that have turned their stomachs upside down. Such a sight can't help but shock people. And at a cursory look,
It seems that the large number of damaged warships and even the number of groups of soldiers killed in battle seemed to be even more severe than the losses suffered by the Song army.
After all, Xiang Zhong is still in charge, and Yue Fei's strategy of attacking and appeasing the rebels has limited effect. The Song Dynasty is also eager to take advantage of the Qi Dynasty's period of rest and recuperation to wipe out the rebel forces in Dongting Lake as soon as possible in order to speed up the attack.
However, Zhong Xiang's rebel army was not only very good at water warfare by taking advantage of the favorable terrain and water conditions, but also was able to maximize the effectiveness of water warfare weapons such as chariots, buildings, and ships. The Song Army could certainly make use of its naval forces.
With their superiority and equally sophisticated ships, they forcibly broke through the rebel fleet's defense line on Dongting Lake. However, many navy generals were also gathered, so it was inevitable that the ships would suffer a large number of casualties...
After this battle, even if the uprising forces led by Zhong Xiang could be wiped out in one fell swoop, the Song Dynasty's navy had not only begun to lag behind the Qi Dynasty in terms of standing troops, ship configuration, etc., but I am afraid that there would also be a certain distance between them.
However, although the Song Navy suffered heavy casualties, they relied on their numerical superiority to destroy a large number of rebel warships on the lake and broke through the water defense line. As the Song Ting horse infantry carrying large numbers of troops invaded various water villages, more and more
, the war situation has gradually tilted towards a one-sided situation...
Those rebel soldiers and horses who were still guarding the water forts everywhere couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw the Song army that was charging and breaking through the forts with the big military flag with the word "Yue" embroidered on it. Most of them could not help but change their expressions.
Born into a poor fisherman who was suppressed and exploited by the government, he responded to the call of the Great Sage and Heavenly King Zhongxiang to rebel. The endless hatred in his heart at first was finally vented, and the fighting power he unleashed faced those who were old and weak, and there were a lot of people mixed in.
The Song army was certainly invincible and unstoppable. However, when the Song army general named Yue Fei led his direct army to conquer, the rebel army led by Zhong Xiang had a profound understanding of what it means to be an elite army!
This is just the essence, energy and spirit of this Song court army. It is absolutely incomparable with other Song army officers and soldiers. Not only can they maintain a high morale of tenacity and resistance to war at all times, but they are also well-trained and consistent in their steps, and can withstand the stubborn water stronghold.
The rebel army could no longer rely on the water of Dongting Lake and had to face the invading and fierce attacks of the Yue Family Army. It was inevitable that they would be killed and disintegrated. The leader of the rebel army, Jin Cong, who was guarding Pizhen Village in Dongting Lake, looked pale as he saw elite Song troops coming in front of him.
Soldiers rushed in. He looked hesitant and seemed to lack the determination to fight to the last moment...
The two brave generals of the Yue Family Army who led their troops and horses into the Pizhen Water Village were still following Yue Fei. They were temporarily controlled by the Marshal's Office, the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses in the Xiao Tang Dynasty, and fought together with the heroes of Liangshan in Shuibo.
Xu Qing and Yao Zheng, who were fighting against the Jin Dynasty, led the athletes of the Yue Family Army to sweep towards the depths of the water village like thunder and wind. They were also unstoppable and invincible. Among them, Xu Qing galloped on his horse and roared loudly.
"My Marshal Yue knew that many of you and others were poor people who had no food and clothing and were forced to become thieves. At the beginning, he promised that if they were willing to abandon their weapons and surrender and surrender themselves, I, Marshal Yue, would all surrender and become good citizens again.
You can also join our army to protect the country and the people, and help you find a way out.
But you guys were obsessed at the beginning, and now that the situation has been decided, are you still stubborn and insisting on seeking death!? Why don’t you quickly put down your weapons? Our army can still treat each other with kindness and justice, otherwise it will be too late!"
The leader of the rebel army, Jin Cong, vaguely heard Xu Qing's shouts. When he saw that Yao Zheng, another brave general of the Yue family army, was about to kill him nearby, he finally sighed and immediately dropped his weapons.
He was lying on the ground, and the leaders who had gathered around Jin Cong were already in panic. Seeing this, they also followed suit and abandoned their weapons and fell to the ground, waiting for the soldiers of the Yue Family Army who also put away their weapons upon seeing this.
.....
Today's Yue Family Army, in addition to Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Xu Qing, Yao Zheng and other fellow villagers and friends, Yue Fei's command has even adopted Zhang Suo's surviving son Zhang Xian as the backbone of the army. It has also incorporated many disintegrated armed groups and recruited and surrendered many people.
The rebel generals who resisted the imperial court were gathered everywhere, and they were even transferred by the imperial court to replenish the establishment. Not only did the scale of the military establishment expand, but it was also said to be full of talents.
In another water village in Dongting Lake, Chen Qin, another leader of the rebel army, fought hard and was covered in blood. However, seeing that he was at the end of his rope, he knew that although Song Army Yue Fei was a formidable enemy, it was difficult to resist.
, but after all, he had a very good reputation and had always intended to appease the rebel leaders everywhere. Therefore, when he planned to abandon his weapons and surrender, a group of elite Song troops came over and killed the rebel generals around him.
The general of the Yue Family Army was full of murderous intent and rushed towards him with his sword in his hand. He swung the sword in his pocket and chopped him down!
"Just stay..."
The panic-stricken Chen Qinfang opened his mouth to express his willingness to surrender. However, he originally lived in Hunan to appease the commander-in-chief of the Department. He had previously sent Wang Xie from Jingnan to suppress the Hunan invaders.
Shangguan Wang Xie was stripped of his military power, and Hao Gu, who was ordered to be transferred to the Yue family army as commander, still slashed Chen Qin in half with a big sword in his hand, and bright red blood spattered all over his face.
, Hao Yu’s eyes flashed with a ferocious and ferocious look.
"Director Hao, in accordance with the order of Marshal Xuyue Jun, we will still focus on appeasing the rebels and thieves who are willing to surrender. If we have already gained the upper hand, we don't have to push too hard. We must be careful and careful.
Kill indiscriminately!"
In the melee, there was also someone who was originally the training envoy of Liu Yu's Puppet Qi Chengzhou Regiment and the commander of the horse army. However, when Xiao and Tang's army marched north to kill and defeat, they gathered some soldiers and horses, but they surrendered to the Song Dynasty and were ordered to follow the imperial edict.
Hu Qing, who had surrendered to the Yue Family Army, rushed over with his troops. Seeing that the troops led by Hao Yu seemed to be gaining the upper hand, he shouted loudly. However, hearing Hu Qing's shouts, Hao Yu's face covered with blood suddenly suddenly
He sank, and then cursed in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "Fuck your grandma, Xiaoxiao, who surrendered to Liu Yu's traitor, is worthy of questioning me. He is hypocritical and hypocritical, but he, Yue Fei, is a good person? I did it."
It’s also a matter of risking one’s life, so why don’t you contribute to the country? You are too restrained and restrained, but it only makes you look noble and upright?”
However, Hao Ju just cursed in a low voice, and then he made an impassioned speech and responded loudly to Hu Qing: "I know it! It's just that the fighting is fierce right now, and it's difficult to score all the points when we can't hold back the momentum.
Ming. I should also be careful and obey Marshal Yue Jun's orders!"...
