Yang Kang has nine suns

Chapter 297 Two Fronts Battle Situation
After pacifying Caizhou, Yang Kang did not continue to go north to conquer the Central Plains. After all, Jin Kingdom now has almost only the Taiyuan Mansion on Hedong Road left, and has completely lost the ability to continue to participate in the struggle for the world. It has been completely reduced to a vassal.

Yang Kang has now completely pacified the Central Plains area south of the Yellow River. This area has been ruled by foreign races for nearly a hundred years. Even if Yang Kang has successfully conquered these areas, it will take a while to sort them out, and those who have been brainwashed by the Jin Kingdom The people and the Jurchens were educated.

In addition, Yang Kang has also started a large number of conscription in his rear, sorting out armaments, food and grass, and after finishing the preparation, he will go north to conquer the area north of the Yellow River.

As for their training, Yang Kang didn't care much, because without firearms, even if these ordinary soldiers were trained, it would be difficult to deal with the Mongolian cavalry. To really deal with the enemy, he had to rely on his main force. Training these ordinary soldiers was just for After occupying the city in the future, it will be used to garrison and protect the grain road.

However, what really prompted Yang Kang to stop his attack was that he was waiting for the news from Fan Ning in Guanzhong, Yang Miaozhen in Shandong and others.

A few days later, Yang Kang first waited for Jiang Sheng to come, and he carried out the task assigned to him by Yang Kang very well, but unfortunately it was too late and it was useless information.

Afterwards, news came from Yang Miaozhen that the Mongolian army had launched a large-scale attack on Shandong. For a while, it was like no one in Shandong.

Fortunately, Yang Kang has been operating in Shandong for a few years and he didn't focus on farming. He already knew that the enemy in the northeast of Shandong was Mongolia. In order to prevent their cavalry raids, why didn't he take precautions?

After the Mongolian iron cavalry entered the northeastern part of Shandong, they originally planned to capture some towns along the way. After all, they looted a lot of those areas in the past, and there was really no oil or water.

However, the cities in Shandong were managed by the Mingjiao for several years, and the people recuperated. Compared with other regions, they were indeed considered wealthy.

However, the walls of several cities in Shandong are extremely strong, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The Mongols were not unprepared. They also seized some gunpowder and artillery from some Han people who surrendered to them. They made great achievements in the Western Expedition, so they also planned to use artillery to clear the way.

However, every city in Shandong is also equipped with more than ten cannons, and they are placed on the city walls, coupled with Yang Kang's improved ironmaking technology, the toughness of the cannon barrels is much stronger than those made by earthworks. Tube, the range is extremely long.

The most important thing is that the telescope is a military tool that is not expensive but is extremely strictly controlled by the Ming Cult, so that the artillery of the Ming Army not only has an extremely long range, but also has extremely high accuracy.

Thus, the following scene happened.

Mongolia pushed the only artillery with a carriage to a place with a wider view, and the moment it was about to fire at the city of Mingjiao, it was precisely guided by several artillery pieces of Mingjiao, and Mongolia's already scarce artillery was wiped out. up.

It is not that the Mongols do not intend to continue to attack the city, but their Mongol cavalry are indeed good at field battles, but not good at attacking cities and villages. The reason why the Western Expedition went so smoothly is that apart from their strong field battles, they also have artillery on their own side. Dimensionality reduction attacks on Central Asia, West Asia, and Europeans.

Right now, the artillery weapons they used to destroy the city are no longer effective, and they can only return to the traditional methods of siege in ancient China-siege vehicles, ladders and the like.

Of course, some people tried to persuade the leading Mongolian generals to bypass the city in front of them and go to the farms behind them to plunder.

However, what good things can be looted in the farm?

Therefore, the Mongols finally chose to storm that city.

After all, the puppet army under them became the main force to attack the city, but in this way, it took a lot of time and the loss was huge.

Naturally, it was impossible for Yang Miaozhen not to get the news. As soon as he heard that the Mongols were attacking, he summoned tens of thousands of people to support him.

It’s just that Yang Miaozhen’s reinforcements have not yet arrived, and the Mongolian troops have already received the news that Bianjing has fallen and Caizhou has been besieged. Not daring to besiege Shandong anymore, they had to withdraw and prepare to defend along the Yellow River.

So far, the Mongolian raid in Shandong area is considered to be over.

Although this battle brought some losses to the Mingjiao, in general, the Mongolian losses were worse, and it could be regarded as a victory.

But compared with Shandong, the war in the Guanzhong area is a bit worrisome.

Originally, the back of Guanzhong was Xixia, but Xixia was destroyed recently. Yang Kang always thought that there would be a lot of resistance from Xixia. In addition, there are masters such as Fan Ning, Zhou Botong, and Qiu Chuji in Guanzhong, so it should not be beaten so badly Sample.

However, things are always full of surprises.

The leading general of Mongolia in this battle is Tuo Lei, and the first military division under him is Huo Guan, the leader of the Ming Cult and the traitor of the Ming Cult.

In this battle, Mongolia not only dispatched [-] cavalry, but the Western Regions and Tubo also dispatched tens of thousands of elites to help. Fan Ning should have defended the city and waited for Yang Kang's instructions.

But in a confrontation, Huo Guan provoked him. Fan Ning knew that Huo Guan's martial arts were stronger than him, and Enlai planned to endure it. However, the "old urchin" Zhou Botong was also there at the time. How could he bear it with his temper? live?In the middle of the night, he was going to sneak into the Mongolian Army Lieutenant General Na Huoguan to clean up his meal.

Unexpectedly, in the Mongolian army this time, not only Huo Guan, but also a master from Tianzhu and a Tubo national teacher, and even Jinlun Fawang, who has only practiced "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu" to the eighth level, also came , with the combined strength of four people, Zhou Botong was captured unexpectedly.

Tuo Lei used Zhou Botong as a bait to coerce Fan Ning to fight out of the city. Fan Ning hesitated, but Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu and others could not hesitate, so they had to lead the disciples of Quanzhen Sect out of the city to fight.

Seeing this, Fan Ning had no choice but to send troops to follow.

The terrain of Xixia is higher than that of Guanzhong, and a huge field battle was carried out in the wild area. The iron cavalry of Mongolia, the Western Regions, and Tubo were condescending, driving their horses and galloping. Even if the Ming army tried its best to resist, there were no firearms and good tactics. , although Zhou Botong was rescued, it still led to a fiasco in the end.

The so-called all things are difficult at the beginning, once a basket is pierced, it will be difficult to make up for it later.

The Mongolian army, which was in full swing, went down several cities in one go. Fan Ning and others had to retreat to Chang'an, and then sent troops to send a message to Yang Kang for help.

Yang Kang couldn't help sighing when he saw the news. The big defeat that could have been avoided was inevitable because of the old urchin's troubles alone. He must find someone to take care of him in the future.

Well, the one who lives in the Black Swamp is a perfect match for him in both talent and appearance, so let them get together and restrict each other, as long as they don't make trouble everywhere.
