Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 709 Li You's Death Army
The people of Dengzhou finally had a good year, and after the new year, that is, the 20th year of Zhenguan, in the first month of the year, the islands near Dengzhou received the most severe blow.

Li You's two thousand Kunpeng army arrived.

The [-] Kunpeng Army was equipped with ten sea ships. These ten sea ships were not made by the Tang Dynasty now. These ten sea ships were lucky ships that could only appear in the Ming Dynasty.

This kind of lucky boat has already removed the bat poles that were often used to hammer enemy ships during the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Song Dynasties, and replaced them with the warship itself to plow and sink enemy ships, which shows the progress of ship manufacturing and driving technology.

The second is that the warship is equipped with firearms. Of course, it is not a cannon, but an incendiary tank fired with a crossbow.

We must know that the blessing boats of the Ming Dynasty were so powerful that they could easily plow enemy ships, that is, the so-called fighting boats do not fight manpower.The big blessing boat has three towers, wide bottom and high top, high bow and tail, and can accommodate hundreds of people. The shape and specifications of the blessing boat are the most complete.

Ten lucky boats and two thousand Kunpeng troops, after arriving in the waters of Dengzhou, they are the most invincible existence. In the beginning, the pirates in Dengzhou wanted to sneak attack on this Kunpeng army. Come and besiege the Kunpeng army.

You must know that the warships of the Dengzhou pirates basically stayed in the Southern and Northern Dynasties at this time, and their warships were basically medium and light weapons.In battle, Yuan used bows and crossbows, and knives and spears for side-to-side battles.

Pirates each have long and short weapons.Some warships are also equipped with clapper poles for hammering enemy ships.

In addition to these, the warships of pirates are often equipped with war sheds or parapets (imitating the style of city walls, with crenellations and even four doors) or covered with wooden boards with cowhide, or nailed bamboo pieces as protective devices.

Warships without parapets hang nets on the left and right sides during battle to prevent the enemy from jumping.

The ship is also equipped with: several small darts, which can be thrown to hit the enemy within 30 steps (about 46.2 meters); heavier plowshare darts, which can kill the enemy and penetrate the enemy's hull when thrown up and down on the diaodou; Take the enemy ship; the hook sickle is used to hook the boat and cut the rope.Incendiary rockets have been used very early, mainly to burn the enemy's sails and make the enemy ships unable to move.

These pirates thought that their warships were very advanced, and there were hundreds of warships. Wouldn't it be easy to capture the ten ships of Li You Kunpeng's army?

But the pirates would never imagine that Li You's ship was not in the same technology as them.

The ten lucky boats are all as tall as buildings, with sharp bottoms, wide tops, and high mouths. If you encounter a small boat, it will sink you with a plow. Haha, what does it mean to sink you with a plow? , Fuchuan was designed to sink the opponent's boat with ease.

Those pirates thought they had a lot of warships, so they could surround and wipe out the Fuchuan. Who knew that Fuchuan didn't talk about martial arts at all. After the pirates' warships surrounded them, the commanders of the Fuchuan directly ordered the ships to sail.

The large Fuchuan directly hit those pirate warships, just like a stone hitting an egg. The skeletons of the pirate warships were instantly separated, one, two, three. In less than half an hour, more than 100 ships, There were not a few ships left that were hit, and the rest of the pirates fled quickly, but is it useful to escape?
The Kunpeng army was not in a hurry. Under the guidance of the people in Dengzhou, one pirate and one pirate's lair were wiped out. When they went to the island, if there was any resistance, they would first use a crossbow to launch a series of fierce fire tanks. First, let the island burn for a while. .

Following the Kunpeng army and disembarking into the island, there is no island that cannot be entered. When entering the island, if the pirate's stolen goods are found, they will be confiscated immediately.

In the year since the arrival of the Kunpeng Army, the Kunpeng Army directly emptied the pirates around Dengzhou, and seized a large amount of gold and silver stolen goods. These gold and silver were used by Li You to build the second and third divisions of Huben body.

Li You's second and third divisions did not use people from Dengzhou, but went to Bashu and Lingnan to recruit people. The 5000 people in the second division were all from Bashu, and the 5000 people in the third division were all from Lingnan. .

Why do you choose people from these two places as your tigers, there is no one else, because the people here are fierce and loyal. The Mongolian cavalry that once dominated the Eurasian continent stopped in Diaoyu City, and Mengge Khan was seriously injured and fell down. Leading to a turning point in the fate of the entire Eurasian continent.

The Sichuan army in Diaoyu City resisted the Mongolian iron cavalry for 36 years, killed Mengge Khan, and surrendered after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty. After that, all 36 guards committed suicide. How tragic.

The white soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the Battle of Hunhe, 4000 white soldiers fought tens of thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners, and almost all of them died in the battle, resulting in heavy casualties in the Manchurian Eight Banners!The white pole soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can be described as the most famous army of the ancient Sichuan army!
During the entire Opium War, although Sichuan was farthest from the front lines of Guangdong and Zhejiang, the Qing government dispatched more than 7000 Sichuan troops from Sichuan, which was the largest number of troops sent by the provinces at that time.

Starting from the Opium War and represented by Zhang Bilu, the Sichuan Army's departure from Sichuan has reappeared many times throughout modern history and has become an important historical phenomenon.The heroism and patriotism shown by the soldiers of the Sichuan Army in the previous actions of fighting against aggression and defending the country are worthy of eternal commemoration.

In modern times, during the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan sent troops to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. There were seven group armies, 12 armies, and 27 divisions. A total of more than 3025000 troops were sent to the battlefields across the country. 263991 people, 356267 missing, a total of 26025 people.

According to the incomplete statistics of the Nationalist Government, the total number of Chinese soldiers killed, wounded, and missing during the Anti-Japanese War was 3200000 million, and the Sichuan Army had more than 64, accounting for 20.20% of the national total.

When the Sichuan army came out of Sichuan, people from all walks of life generally believed that it was the "worst army" in China at that time, with insufficient equipment, ammunition, supplies and medical equipment. When fighting in Shanxi in winter, soldiers still wore straw sandals on their feet.

However, it was such an army that made countless arduous and tragic sacrifices in the War of Resistance and made great contributions to the cause of national independence of the Chinese nation.

Wang Jiancheng, a farmer in Beichuan County, gave his son Wang Jiantang a flag with the word "dead" written on the middle of the white cloth flag, and the flag read: "When the country is in crisis, the Japanese invaders are ferocious.

The rise and fall of a country depends on everyone.I wanted to serve, but I was too old.Fortunately, I have a son, so I volunteered voluntarily.Give a flag and always carry it with you.Swab blood when wounded, wrap body after death.Go forward bravely, don't forget your duty! "

This is the reason why Li You chose the children of Bashu to be his Huben Guard, and Li You also gave this Sichuan Army a brand name, which is the Dead Army, and the second division is also called the Huben Dead Army.

As for the brand name of Lingnan, it is Wolf Army, Tiger Ben Wolf Army. Li You believes that Sichuan Army and Wolf Army will be loyal to him. This is Li You's feeling as a modern person. If Li You is not a modern person, maybe he will Bashu and Lingnan disdain Gu.

But Li You knows too much, what kind of waves and grandeur will there be in the tiger's dead army and the tiger's wolf army. It is worth looking forward to!
