Zhao Mengxin bowed and saluted: "No."
He asked Zhao Mengxin to contact him and call back all the Song troops who were living in Annan. He would defeat the Yuan army in the future and regain the old rivers and mountains.
Zhao Bingyan asked the team to resolutely destroy the Annan army who dared to resist and beat them hard.
However, he also reminded the generals at all levels that the Song Guards treated prisoners preferentially, and the enemies were not allowed to persecute them after they surrendered. Each person was guaranteed to have a bowl of gruel every day to survive.
After the Guards landed, they immediately divided into two groups. One group was led by Wang Bao and entered Xuanhua, while the other group was led by Zhang Qi and advanced into Liangzhou.
He saw the teams coming ashore one after another and asked Sun Huchen's troops behind if there was any difficulty in accommodation.
Sun Huchen laughed and said no. Annan's officials and wealthy people were so frightened that they fled in all directions. Many houses were vacant in Yuntun Bay, and the right minister was already on his way.
Haha, Wen Tianxiang learned that the army successfully landed and came with the logistics and reception staff.
Early the next morning, the two met at the pier. Zhao Bingyan pointed to the large number of brand-new houses and courtyards in the bay and said, "Prime Minister, look at how many people in need who have come all the way from Lin'an can be accommodated here."
Wen Tianxiang was very happy and told Zhao Bingyan that at first he was worried about the difficulty of landing and that the war would form a stalemate if he could not break through quickly. He reassured Zhao Bingyan that he would screen each household one by one and only confiscate the properties of profiteers, bullies and unscrupulous officials.
None of this mattered anymore. Zhao Bingyan stopped nagging him, cupped his hands and said, "I'll leave the logistics to the Prime Minister."
He bid farewell to Wen Tianxiang and followed Zhou Fu's team forward.
Arriving at a horse farm in the afternoon, Zhang Qi reported that there had been a fierce battle just now, in which more than 1,000 Annan troops were annihilated and 500 horses were captured.
He asked Brigadier Zhou to lead the team to advance into Liangzhou, while he stayed to clean the battlefield and rectify his subordinates.
Zhao Bingyan nodded and said well done. This will be the way it will be done from now on. Whoever fights on the battlefield will clean up the battlefield. The teams behind who are not on the battlefield will stop and continue to advance.
He asked his messenger Sun Huchen to lead his troops along the coast to pick up the ports blocked by the Navy and reach Guangnan West Road.
Zhang Qi said: "Da Shan, the Annan people are not our opponents at all. There is no need to crowd them all together."
Zhao Bingyan warned the generals that they must dare to fight and charge, but must not underestimate the enemy. The leader must conduct careful reconnaissance and carry out operations in accordance with tactical formations.
The team moved forward quickly, annihilating three armies of King Annanqin with hundreds of people and thousands of people along the way, and arrived at Liangzhou four days later.
Emperor Xiao Chen of Shenglong was still struggling to gather reinforcements. The special envoy he sent, Chen Yizhong, rushed to the sea at the mouth of the river to ask for a meeting with Zhang Shijie. After the two met, the man urgently asked: "General, why is this? The imperial court can't stay on Hainan Road. Can I persuade Emperor Xiao Chen to take in the general and the queen mother?
Immediately, he asked Annan's envoys to deliver gifts and five thousand shi of food. "
Zhang Shijie said coldly that the conquest of Annan was the national policy of the Song Dynasty. Hainan was very good. The Song Dynasty was not unable to stay on Hainan Road as envoy Chen said. The Song Dynasty wanted to destroy Annan and take back its homeland.
Chen Yizhong persuaded with a look of concern for the country and the people: "It's ridiculous, who is fooling the Queen Mother? Annan has nearly a million soldiers, so Emperor Chen sent 100,000 elite soldiers to attack the city, and now he is on his way back to help. , can the remaining soldiers of the imperial court defeat Annan?"
Zhang Shijie said coldly: "Whether it works or not, we will know after the war, so you don't have to worry about it."
Chen Yizhong could tell that Zhang Shijie had excluded him, the escaped prime minister, from the Song Dynasty court. The man sighed repeatedly and said to himself: It's over, it's over, the court is digging its own grave.
Emperor Xiao Chen received Chen Yizhong's report and knew that the northern country was determined to destroy him. He was really anxious and sent messengers to urge the troops from all over the country to serve the king.
Later, he sent a special envoy to argue with Zhang Shijie, trying to use words to blast away the Song Dynasty king's army.
Annan's special envoy traveled back and forth between Thang Long and the sea camp at the mouth of the river, reprimanding the Song Dynasty for unreasonable war. He did not take Annan seriously. The Annan people were not afraid of death and would definitely defend their homeland and country and sacrifice their lives for benevolence.
Zhang Shijie's counselors scolded Annan for being unfaithful and unfilial. He made himself king and repeatedly committed crimes. He could not comfort the world by being immortal.
These are all performances by both parties.
Emperor Xiao Chen was stalling for time, hoping to withdraw more troops to resist.
The Song Dynasty court was also stalling for time, using this opportunity to encircle the points for reinforcements, eliminate more Annan troops, and quickly occupy the north.
Zhang Shijie took advantage of the quarrel between the two countries and swept through the coastal docks and ports. He ordered the navy to block the Annan outlet and then returned to Hainan one after another to monitor the Dayuan Navy and assist the garrison in guarding his hometown.
His own Chinese army camp stationed at the mouth of the river and transported Liu Shiyong's fifth brigade ashore. The Guards moved south to block Annan's main force retreating from Champa.
Emperor Xiao Chen, who was hiding in Thang Long City, immediately realized something was wrong.
He issued an edict from King Qin to the whole country. Only soldiers from nearby prefectures and counties entered the city, and there was no news from those further away.
However, some defeated soldiers who escaped from the battlefield crossed the mountains and entered the royal capital. Only then did he realize that the Song army all used new firearms, which were extremely powerful. The land and water routes around the royal capital were blocked, and no reinforcements would come. .
The officials and people in the city knew that the royal capital was besieged and that the Song army was as powerful as a tiger, so they began to make their own plans. One after another, people packed large and small bags and drove horses and oxcarts out of the city to seek refuge.
At this time, Zhao Bingyan had arrived in Liangzhou.
This important town in the north of Annan is built on a mountain, just blocking the transportation routes to the north, south and west to Guangyuan Prefecture.
Annan's Marquis Huaiwen led 10,000 elite troops to garrison here. Emperor Xiao Chen ordered King Qin, but he did not dare to send a single soldier.
Because going further north is the Zhenyi Pass of the Yuan Dynasty. Once Liangzhou is lost, the road leading to Shenglong will be flat.
This guy doesn't dare to gamble with his country's capital.
However, it is useless for him to stay in Liangzhou.
Zhao Bingyan saw the densely packed trebuchets on Liangzhou City from a distance through the telescope, and thought that this guy was very thoughtful and well prepared.
He asked Xiao Chengzhang how many people knew how to operate the 107 rocket launcher?
Xiao Chengzhang reported that there were thirty people at the moment.
Zhao Bingyan said enough, and then continued to explain like this.
He said to Zhang Qi and Zhou Fu: "The team still needs to practice how to attack difficulties, so go ahead."
Zhao Bingyan took Xiao Chengzhang back to a tabletop-shaped hill ten miles away, and said with a smile that it was a good place with a wide view, and it was just the right artillery position.
He muttered something to ask God Zhuge for help. The Pollen Elf said yes and immediately released ten 107s and a mountain of cannonballs.
The artillery brothers happily pulled the sports car to find the best position.
Xiao Chengzhang said cheerfully that the artillery was cleaning the ground. Let the King of Han watch our artillery performance.
Zhao Bingyan nodded, but did not dare to let go completely. After supervising the installation, he checked the shooting elements he had calculated and waved his hand to start work.
Immediately the flag was waved, a rocket launcher fired directly at the city gate, and everyone announced that the south gate of Liangzhou had been opened. As 107 completed the calibration, ten doors fired in volley, and the sky above Liangzhou City exploded like thunder.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of mortars joined the chorus, shooting at the city wall, pulling out the trebuchets and eight-oxen crossbows erected on it, leaving no open or covert fire points untouched.
Then, the charge horn of the Guards sounded.
Accompanied by the majestic trumpet sound of the Charge, the 107 rocket launcher fired three rounds, covering all the enemy troops on the city wall, under the city wall, and inside the city wall.
When Zhao Bingyan saw this, he called it a day.
Under such artillery fire, if Zhang Qi can't enter the city, then don't be his subordinate.
He left one rocket launcher for artillery training, put the rest into the space and walked towards Liangzhou City.
The team had already rushed into the city, but the street fighting continued.
In the evening the battle was over.
Zhang Qi happily said that more than 5,000 Annan troops were captured, and even their Marquis Huaiwen did not escape.
Zhao Bingyan said coldly that the Annan Liangzhou defenders resisted tenaciously and caused heavy casualties to our army. They must be strictly investigated and the war criminals punished. I didn't see that Huai Wenhou.
The brothers understood immediately and pulled out a large number of diehards to accompany Huai Wenhou and sent them to the city gate to behead him in public.
Zhou Fu asked for instructions and led the team to attack Guangyuan Prefecture.
He asked Zhang Qi to go. Zhou Fu was more familiar with the situation on Guangnan West Road. He planned to ask Zhou Fu to go to Zhenyi Pass to block the Yuan army's southward passage.
Zhao Mengxin, who had just defected to him, said excitedly: "If the artillery fire of the Song Dynasty army had been so powerful, how could the Tatars seize the country? Zhenyi Pass, the last general is willing to persuade them to surrender and recover."
