The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 259

It is said that Shao Zai is the star of Wenqu, the champion of the last subject, and the top figure of Taoism. Now it seems that it is not a lie.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from below, which startled Yang Lin himself.

After dealing with his subordinates, he was in a low mood at first, and he didn't say anything harsh at all, so why was the response so enthusiastic?

Yang Lin couldn't figure it out himself, so he left the Dianjiangtai with his hands behind his back, preparing for the official expedition with apprehension.

He already knew the Tubo tribes along the way very well. If there were no accidents, at least dozens of Tubo tribes would vote.

Wang Fu came up with a shocking performance, which made the Tubo people wait and see again. The Song people are so weak, why not invade Dali, there is no lack of market among the Tubo lords.

After a simple mobilization, Yang Lin sent thousands of scouts, divided into hundreds of teams, to explore the way in the sparsely populated Tubo.

The army marched along the Nu River all the way, because there were a lot of missing generals, so they simply formed an army, formed a long snake formation, and moved forward along the river.

There are many bones and rotting corpses along the way, all of which are the robes of the past.

While marching, the people collected the bones and buried them on the spot, or some tokens recognized that they were brothers from the past, and they put away the bones and took them with them, preparing to take them back to their hometown.

Compared with the previous expedition, the water potential of the Nujiang River is no longer the same.

The current is fast and the river channel is wide. If you accidentally fall, it is very difficult to survive.The roads on both sides are narrow and difficult to walk, and are overgrown with trees.

Returning to the old place, the army lamented, the last disastrous defeat was vividly remembered, Yang Lin did not change the marching route.

Last time the palace chose this place, it was a huge mistake, the Tubo people in the salt well land chose to fight the Song people desperately in order to keep this salt well.

But this time, the Song army had to choose to go here to defeat, tear up, and completely conquer the Tubo people who defeated him last time, so as to reverse the weak image of the Song people.

In the final analysis, the conquest of Tubo relied on their century-old civil war, and the hearts of the people turned to the Song Dynasty to end this cruel dispute.

It is necessary to put on a strong enough posture so that these people can surrender with confidence, but after submitting, they will be submissive and not have any thoughts that they should not have.

This point was thoroughly implemented by the Song army on the northern line. Han Shizhong, Wang Zhi and others rushed out from the foot of Jishi Mountain, and they almost surrendered wherever they went.

The Tubo lords, nobles, and powerful monks all sent troops to search for traces of Han Shizhong's army everywhere, and sent gold and silver treasures in advance, so as not to surrender when the time comes.

The northern line has elite soldiers and strong generals, with horses like clouds, 10 Qin and Longhan troops, Qiang soldiers, Klei soldiers, Uighur soldiers, and dozens of Tibetan tribes with [-] horses at their disposal.

Han Shizhong was proud of his spring breeze, and went all the way south, singing and making great strides.What's even more exaggerated is that the various ministries of Tubo on the northern line, compared with the southern line, are all small branches and leaves.

You must know that the Tubo Dynasty started from some cities and radiated to the surrounding cities. It was the center of Tubo, and the strongest tribes and temples were all concentrated here.

If it weren't for the fact that Tubo is too big and the distance between the north and the south is so far, there would be no need for the existence of the southern army.

In this kind of march full of sighs, the Song army on the southern front led by Yang Lin, who was short of major generals, finally reached the territory of the Tubo monks and nuns.

The rushing water of the Nu River made a deafening sound, echoing over the empty plateau.

After Yang Lin looked around, he waved his hand, signaling to his soldiers to send an order to stop marching and set up camp here.

A fierce battle is about to break out.

Chapter 3

The soldiers and horses of the Song army stationed on the west bank of the Nujiang River, returned to the monks and nuns as kings, and did not flinch from the previous failure.

This battle is Liwei's coming, and it must be considered a victory if it completely crushes the monks and nuns who once defeated the Song army with a thunderous force.

The last time the spring was cold, this time with the warmth, the snow melted and the ice disappeared, and the season of muddying the roads began.

It was more than ten times more difficult for the troops following the army to pass than the original frozen road, and the wet road was not suitable for cavalry to charge.

"Most of the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty are infantry, and the road is muddy, which is good news for us." Yang Lin in the big tent said with a smile.

Liu Zhongwu was obviously also very happy, raised his eyebrows and said: "If the main force will fight, this is not an ordinary benefit, it is simply God helping our army."

This battle is related to the surrender of the entire Tubo. If you win, you don’t know how many battles you will lose, so you must win beautifully, the more beautiful the better.

The scouts have already been dispatched, and they are scattered everywhere to inquire about the enemy's movements. After all, the monks and nuns cannot compare with the size of the Song army. As long as they gather to attack, I can get information in advance here, so that I won't be rushed away like last time. scattered.

Yang Lin laughed loudly, nodded and said, "Everyone, rest well, take down the monks and nuns, and avenge the bones along the way."

Everyone geared up and got up to leave. When the last general left, the smile on Yang Lin's face froze and he let out a long sigh.

Tubo has delayed for such a long time, the battle in the north should have been decided by this time, and it will not take long before the Jurchens become famous all over the world.

Daliao, a behemoth, once it falls, is like a whale falling to the bottom of the sea. I don't know how many forces have risen because of it.

Needless to say, Jurchen, there are also the Mongolian tribes in the west, especially the Tatar tribes who are good at fighting, the Khakar tribe.

At this critical moment, Da Song was fettered here by the torn Tubo. Yang Lin was afraid that the war would drag on for too long, which would delay his major event.

Early the next morning, the three scouts stood by the river, washed their faces, moistened their chapped lips, and then took out the water bag to draw water.

The river here is clear and long, clear and sweet, but the riverside is full of yellow sand, stretching as far as the eye can see.Just when the morning sun is rising, the undulating sand hills in the distance turn into a fiery red color under the reflection of the morning glow, like a burning flame.

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and the three of them fell to the ground vigilantly, and saw countless cavalry galloping past, all of them were Fan soldiers.

Soon after, the scouts released the signal fireworks, which passed layer by layer, and arrived at the camp of the Song Army.

On the west bank of the Nujiang River, the camp stretched for ten miles, the army was majestic, and the mourners returned to the battle line with the determination to win.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, a group of warriors with guns in distinctive armor patrolled outside, and the guards of the Longevity Battalion surrounded the whole big tent like stars holding the moon.

Lifting the big tent, Liu Zhongwu is on Yang Lin's left, Zhang Shuye is on the right, and Lu Qian and Lu Wang are behind him.

"Woo~~~Woo~~~" The desolate horn sounded, Yang Lin chuckled, and said, "I have been preparing for so long, even I am looking forward to this battle, everyone, please get on your horse!"

"The infantry of the Chinese army lined up to block the enemy's charge. Fang Qifo, you lead the Wuman cavalry and encircle from the left flank. The terrain in the west is relatively high. Zhang Shuye, you lead the troops to the rear of the left wing. By the way, you will seize the top of the mountain and prepare to commandeer. Surround and annihilate the reinforcements at any time."

"My scouts have already found out that the monks and nuns and the bandits have invited two reinforcements this time, and they happened to be wiped out together, so that the bandits can know the might of my Great Song."

"The rest of the generals will follow me in the central army to meet the enemy and be on standby at any time."

All the generals responded with a bang, retreated from the camp like a tide, each got on their horses, brought their own soldiers and guards and galloped back to the main formation.

In front of the Song army's formation, the Fan soldiers have not yet arrived, but they have already lined up to wait.The generals of the Song Dynasty lined up neatly, with bright banners, drums and horns beeping, and horses neighing continuously.

Seen from a distance, people shouted horses neighing, majestic as a mountain, flags and flags obscured the sun, and the light of the sword was cold. Who would dare to believe that this was the army that was beaten back to Yangyibaa City in the First World War.

Finally, a dark army appeared on the horizon, Shang Keyi, the leader of the Tubo monks and nuns, rushed over happily holding two sharp knives.

He couldn't imagine why the people of Song Dynasty didn't learn their lesson, they came to give him another windfall in almost the same place, with the same soldiers and horses?

The cavalry behind him followed the leader and rushed forward. The cavalry seemed to rush forward in a chaotic manner, but every three knights always kept a certain distance, taking care of each other. Every three horses formed a wedge shape. And all the wedge shapes merged into a huge wedge shape.

This is a wedge-shaped charge formation. The two armies clashed. The Fan soldiers did not have any temptations, did not disrupt the opponent's formation through flank charges, harassment, containment, etc., and they wanted to cut through the Song formation directly?
