Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 299 The Sword of the Son of Heaven

On the fifth day of February, 100,000 infantry from the Huanqing Army trekked all the way to Datong City.

All the warriors were busy with travel and dust, and they marched all the way in a hurry, with little rest time.

In addition to them, more than 50,000 young people from the Production and Construction Corps came here. These young people were responsible for transporting grain, grass, supplies, siege weapons, and city defense equipment. Moreover, if the war is tense, they may also join the war. Although they are a production and construction corps, they also had formal military training in the past, and their combat power even surpassed those of Zhao Gou's soldiers.

"I didn't expect our army to take down Datong so quickly!"

"Not only Datong, but Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass, Pianguan and other places were also defeated by General Liu Kai and Zhang Xian!"

"really?"

100,000 infantry and 50,000 youths have just arrived in Datong City, and the news of the capture of Yanmen, Ningwu and other places has also spread here. Immediately, morale is boosted and everyone is excited! The Chinese nation has lost the Xiongguan for more than a hundred years, and now it has finally returned to the hands of the Han people!

The generals of the Huanqing Army hastily arranged for the soldiers to rest at this moment. They trekked all the way here, and their bodies were extremely tired, so they had to recover immediately.

And those youths of the production and construction corps have also been ordered. After they rest for a while, they will transport the materials to Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass and other places.

Yue Fei was standing on the wall of Datong city, looking to the north.

The heavy snow had already stopped, but it was still a vast expanse of whiteness outside. When spring comes, this place will become a vast grassland. Datong City was originally built in the northwest of the Central Plains, bordering the grassland. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the entire Datong City was surrounded by the grassland.

"Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass, and Pian Pass are the three outer passes of the Central Plains. They guard the important places in the east of the river. In the past, we Han people guarded these places, and foreigners could not enter the Central Plains. But now we are guarding these places. Don't let Wanyan Zongwang pass through here from the south," Yue Fei said.

"What the general said is true." Dong Xian stood behind Yue Fei, nodded, and said.

"Originally these places are extremely important, and it is very difficult for us to attack them, but one is that these places have become the internal gates of the Jurchens, and the Jurchens do not pay enough attention to these places, and the other is that the population of the Jurchens is limited, and their total strength is not enough. No matter how much, they put 200,000 troops in the Hedong and Guanshan areas, and there is no extra troops to defend these places. Therefore, we can successfully conquer these passes. The same reason why we can easily conquer Datong." Yue Fei said.

Dong Xian nodded.

"The number of our Han people is far greater than that of the Jurchens, and the number of our soldiers and horses is also greater than that of the Jurchens! We will use 200,000 troops this time, and 100,000 infantry are enough to defend Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass, and Pianguan. In addition to our countless defensive equipment, it is difficult to defeat Wanyan Zongwang even if he arrives! Yanmen Pass, Yang Linggong was here that day, and tens of thousands of Western troops could resist the Liao army! It is far stronger than the Western Army back then, and its combat power is almost ten times that of the previous one! Under such circumstances, it would be strange if it couldn't defend these places!" Yue Fei said.

"If it's just for defense, one hundred thousand infantry is enough! Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass, Pianguan and other places are all powerful passes in the world, and they are by no means easy to take down! Our city defense equipment is far better than the Jurchen, enough to defend against these It's time." Dong Xian said.

"Pass the order! Order 100,000 infantry to go south immediately after a day's rest to participate in the defense of these passes! Order Zhang Xian to lead 20,000 cavalry to go south and pretend to attack Taiyuan City! Taiyuan City is where Jurchen's base in the Central Plains is located, and Jurchen's countless materials are stored There, countless Jurchen family members are there! If they pretend to attack Taiyuan, Wanyan Zongwang will definitely go north!" Yue Fei said.

"That's right." Dong Xian nodded.

"Tell Zhang Xian that after the feigned attack on Taiyuan, immediately lead 20,000 cavalry across the Taihang Mountains and enter Hebei, Shandong and other places! After arriving in Shandong, feign an attack on Jinan Mansion and force Liu Yu to return to defense." Yue Fei said again.

Hebei and Shandong are the foundations of Liu Yu. Liu Yu's son is now the prefect of Jinan, and many of Liu Yu's puppet troops are from Hebei and Shandong. Once large armies appeared in Hebei, Shandong and other places, Liu Yu would definitely not dare to bring 300,000 puppet troops to Guanshan, and he would definitely return to Shandong.

"General, isn't it too dangerous for General Zhang Xian to go deep alone?" Dong Xian said.

"Don't worry, Zhang Xian will do such a thing well! And he is mainly spreading doubts, creating momentum, and the bigger the momentum, the better. When there is chaos in the north, it will be difficult for either the Jurchens or the Jurchens to continue to attack Guan Shan. Moreover, Zongze, Wang Yan and others exist in the Guanshan area, and the Jurchens have left, and the situation in Guanshan will become extremely stable and safe within a few months." Yue Fei said.

Dong Xian nodded.

"Pass down the order and order Liu Kai to lead the rest of the cavalry northward immediately! Together with General Liu Kai, I will lead 80,000 cavalry northward to meet the Jurchen army head-on! I will leave 10,000 cavalry with you. If Datong, Yanmen, If there are emergencies in Ningwu and other places, you can use them as reinforcements," Yue Fei said again.

"General, there are more than 300,000 Jurchen armies, and you only have 80,000. This is too dangerous." Dong Xian said.

"Eighty thousand people is enough! When Wei Qing went to the desert to meet the Xiongnu Youxian King, he only used 30,000 soldiers! When Huo Qubing first led the army, he had only 800 soldiers and defeated the Huns! Early Tang Dynasty In the Battle of Qikou, Li Jing only led 3,000 light cavalry to attack Dingxiang at night, defeating tens of thousands of Turkic troops! Xue Rengui was in Tianshan, facing 130,000 Turkic Tie Le Huihe coalition forces, he had only 60,000 Tang troops under his command, but he relied on With his personal courage, he killed the three chief generals of Turkic Tie Le with three arrows at a distance of 800 steps. The enemy army was in chaos. There is no foreign aggression in the Tianshan area, and the name of "General Three Arrows Set Tianshan" has been passed down through the ages! Although I, Yue Fei, admire these seniors, I never think that I am inferior to them! The seniors can win more with less, and use tens of thousands Even thousands of troops can defeat the barbarians of foreign races, of course I, Yue Fei, can do it! I, Yue Fei, will prove to His Majesty and the world that I am the strongest general in the world today, no one can beat me! Whether it is personal bravery or The ability to lead troops to fight, I am not inferior to all the seniors! I can lead 80,000 cavalry to defeat hundreds of thousands of Jurchen soldiers and horses!" Yue Fei's words were full of pride!

Any peerless general has his own pride, and Yue Fei is no exception. Over the years, apart from his meritorious service in the Guan-Shaanxi Battle at the beginning, he had no chance to make contributions afterwards. He has endured and held back for several years, and now such an opportunity has finally come again. This is also the moment when the hero proves himself, he wants to prove his existence to the world.

Of course, only in front of brothers from his hometown like Dong Xian would he say such seemingly arrogant words.

The strong wind blew, and Yue Fei's clothes kept swaying. He held a sword in his hand, and it seemed that he would pull out its sheath at any time...

In history, Yue Fei, who relied on tens of thousands of Yue Family troops to defeat almost all the elites of the Kingdom of Jin and was about to regain the Central Plains, has changed his role at this moment. He is now the Northern Commander of the Great Song Dynasty. Army, the training intensity of soldiers and horses under his command, the high combat power, the high morale, and the advanced military system are also better than the Yue family army in history.

And the current Yue Fei's ability is not inferior to the Yue Fei in history.

He accepted all kinds of modern military thought and Genghis Khan's strategy and tactics taught by Zhao Chen, and integrated them into one. No matter his vision or insight, he was better than him in the same period of history.

For the battle in the north, he has full confidence!

*** ***

At this moment in Baidi City, Sichuan, the climate here is much warmer than that in the north, but it is the end of winter and the beginning of spring after all, and the wind here is also blowing.

Zhao Chen was standing on a high platform by the river at the moment, holding a sword in his hand.

It was the world-famous Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword!

He raised the Seven Star Dragon Yuan sword flat, and stroked the scabbard with his hand.

Although the sword hadn't been unsheathed yet, one could still feel a gust of cold air rushing towards his face.

"Do you know what a sword is?" Zhao Chen asked.

Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Wang De, Kang An and others were all standing beside Zhao Chen. They were stunned, not knowing how to answer this question.

"It is a sword that can kill enemies and bandits! There are swords like the sword of ordinary people, the sword of princes, and the sword of emperors! Like those knights in the rivers and lakes, they kill a person in ten steps, and they will not stay behind for thousands of miles. This is the sword of ordinary people. The sword! Jiangnan Lin Lingsu, martial arts is extremely high, but he is still just a common man, and the sword he uses is still a common man's sword, not to mention! The sword of the princes, led thousands of troops to fight north and south, conquered cities, and spread courage everywhere , Hero Jing Cong, use it for him, this is the sword of the princes! Back then, Xiang Yu used the sword of the princes, which was powerful enough to lift mountains and surpass the world, but in front of the real sword of the emperor, the sword of princes is still unbearable Strike! The sword of the Son of Heaven, with the four sides of the world as the body of the sword, the heart of the people as the soul of the sword, the spine of the sword with knowledge of people and good use, the sword with a perfect system, the front of the sword with millions of heroes, and the sword of the emperor Hilt, move the sword with wisdom, courage, and confidence! This sword is as straight as it is before, it is supreme, it will break the clouds, and it will be a jeopardy! When the sword comes out, it will win the princes and the world will be flat."

"From the first year of Jingkang when I was crowned the Crown Prince, until now, it took six years to cast this sword! Now, this sword has begun to take shape! When this sword came out, the situation changed, and it swept Jiangnan, Central Plains, Yanzhao, Qilu, and Liaodong. , Everywhere in the grassland, no one can stop, no one can fight!"

"It's time for this sword to come out of its sheath today!"

Zhao Chen said slowly.

"Your Majesty, our army will definitely win this battle!" Wu Jie said excitedly as he stood beside Zhao Chen in armor.

"How is the army preparing?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, the one hundred thousand troops arrived at Baidi City two hours ago, and they are replenishing various supplies! Over the years, we have stored countless supplies in Baidi City! Now, they should have replenished them!" Wu Jie said. .

Wu Jie and Wu Lin originally had only 60,000 troops under their command, but they have replenished their troops in the past two years, and now the number of their troops has reached 100,000. Their military training methods are also in the same line as the Forbidden Army, and they also train diligently every day. So far, the strength of this army is already the top in the world.

"Very good! Let's board the ship!" Zhao Chen said.

At present, Zhao Chen, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Wang De, Kang An and others are heading towards the Yangtze River ahead.

Thousands of huge warships are floating on the surface of the Yangtze River at this moment! These warships are more than 30 meters long. In this era, this is already a rare big ship! The warship was full of densely packed soldiers, all of whom were holding weapons, and they looked at Zhao Chen with fanaticism in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, these warships are all made of centuries-old giant wood in the Hanzhong forest! Since the end came here, people have been ordered to make these warships. They are extremely strong, far better than all the warships of the previous navy. !" Everyone was heading towards the warship, Wu Jie followed behind Zhao Chen, said.

Zhao Chen nodded, they came to the boat, and the soldiers saluted immediately.

Zhao Chen could see countless huge crossbow arrows on the bow!

"Your Majesty, these are special giant crossbows, enough to shoot five hundred paces away! The shafts of the arrows are almost as thick as a human's finger, and they are extremely lethal!" Wu Jie said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

"This is a trebuchet. If it encounters an enemy ship on the river, it will be enough to shoot down the enemy ship!" Wu Jie said.

"How are the soldiers' weapons prepared?" Zhao Chen asked.

"The number of divine-armed bows in our navy is extremely large! The number of divine-armed archers has reached 50,000! No matter whether it is a water battle or a land battle, no one can stop it! Thousands of arrows can destroy all enemies!" Wu Jie said.

"How is the situation of the Jiangnan Navy?" Zhao Chen asked again.

"The Jiangnan navy is totally vulnerable! Your Majesty, over the years, the threat to the north has been great, and we have also been a great threat to Jiangnan! Jiangnan is going all out to develop infantry. Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and the countless rebels have defeated All the military expenditures in the south of the Yangtze River have been spent, and they don't care about the navy at all! Only Jiangling and Lin'an still have some navy, and there are almost no others!" Wu Jie said.

"Very good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Majesty, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others will launch a mutiny soon, and we must go south immediately!" Wang De said aside.

Wang De is the person in charge of the intelligence department. The reason why he went south with Zhao Chen this time is to contact the intelligence department soldiers from all over the south of the Yangtze River! The strength of the intelligence department in Jiangnan accounted for almost half, and the battle of Jiangnan was the most important thing at present, so we had to be careful.

"Order to go!" Zhao Chen said.

On the battleship, the Yellow Dragon flag was raised, and the sound of war drums was also heard!

Zhao Chen stood at the bow of the boat, wearing a dragon robe, and the sun shone on him, shining golden.

When the big ship started, there were bursts of "long live" sounds around.

The voices of long live are everywhere in the army, and the people around are also constantly shouting long live!

"This battle must be won!"

"Kang Kang's traitor has been in Jiangnan for five or six years, and now it's time to kill this traitor!"

"This traitor brazenly usurped the throne and attempted to kill the king. He deserves death! Now is the time for him to be punished!"

The big ship was getting farther and farther away, and the surrounding people kept discussing with excitement.
