Chapter 2331: Three thousand years of life
Just when Meng Gong was frustrated and bored.
After traveling west on the Yangtze River, this fleet finally arrived at the Hukou area.
After that, the fleet turned south and entered the Poyang Lake water system.
...Poyang Lake was called Penglize, Pengze, Guanting Lake, Yanglan, Danshi Lake in ancient times... There are no less than ten names.
This is not because it has many origins, but because it gradually expands and merges many small lakes.
So as it gradually grows bigger, it also slowly occupys the names of other lakes.
Its original name was "Pengli", which originated from the time when Dayu controlled the flood.
Due to the low terrain, several crisscrossing water systems have been formed in this area.
Therefore, the function word "Jiu" that represents a large number in ancient Chinese is called Jiujiang.
At this point in "Yu Gong", there is a record of "Kong Yin of Jiujiang, Peng Li in the East".
This vast and vast water surface is China's largest freshwater lake.
The poet Yang Wanli of this dynasty once left here "When you come at night, Xu slept with the gulls, and cooked a small boat in the morning.
The poem "There are more and more reeds, and the water at the tail of Poyang Lake is as big as the sky".
Now this water is shrouded in thick battle clouds.
Because this is the decisive battle place set up by Miss Jiang Yuxin, the commander-in-chief of the Yangtze River Barrier, for Wanyan Shouxu!... Meng Gong's troops took a boat to cross most of Poyang Lake and came to Raozhou on the east bank of the lake.
Later, as soon as he got ashore and entered Raozhou City, he found that Miss Jiang's Jiangnan camp had already been established here, and his troops had also been assembled here.
The reason why Meng Gong's seven thousand troops came on a boat this time was because their marching speed was completely inferior to those of the Xixia people.
In the New Song army, on average, there was only one Mongolian horse per person.
If he had to walk by himself, he would not be able to reach the 520-mile distance from Guichi to Raozhou for six days.
At the same time, the Xixia army was carrying heavy armor and equipment.
So although they had many war horses and were all strong Hequ horses, their speed was limited faster than that of the New Song army.
So under this circumstance, Miss Jiang had already formulated a plan for a quick march for them.
Just under Guichi City, after the Jin army turned to the south.
The troops placed in Guichi City by Miss Jiang immediately began to divide the troops into two groups.
Meng Gong and his new Song army put all the horses on the shore and boarded the ship alone.
After three days of sailing on the Yangtze River, we arrived at their destination, Raozhou.
The other unit was the 50,000 Xixia soldiers.
They unloaded all the heavy armor and put it on the ship, and immediately turned into a light cavalry unit with three war horses each.
Coupled with the ten thousand new Song war horses in the team, they were able to travel extremely fast on land.
It was also three days ago, and they rushed to Raozhou after a hurry.
...At this moment, when the Western Xia Army General Asha dared not see that the fleet finally landed and a large number of Iron Harrier armor began to be unloaded from the ship, the old general finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was really frightened after the three days of rushing march! Although the Western Xia soldiers were brave and fierce, these iron kites lost their heavy armor.
But they were afraid of encountering the Jin army on the march.
So much so that they were frightened along the way. Until today, they finally met with their armor safely.
At this time, you can see how powerful the rapid movement ability of an army is in combat.
Because the speed is faster than the enemy, it often means that the faster-moving troops can take advantage of the favorable terrain and have the initiative on the battlefield.
Even with the painstaking planning of Miss Jiang, the marching speed of the Western Xia troops could not reach two hundred miles a day and a night.
In history, the Mongolian army set a precedent for rushing 500 miles a day and night, and immediately launched a charge against the enemy! However, the current Jin army of Miss Jiang did not have the movement speed of the Mongolian army, so they have gradually fallen into Miss Jiang's control.
...When Meng Gong and Asa dared not to arrange their own troops, they immediately arrived at the central army in Raozhou City.
This place was originally the Raozhou Prefecture Office, but now it has been turned into Miss Jiang's army command post.
This time Meng Gong learned a good deed. As soon as he entered the flower hall of the government office, he saw a large group of generals inside with bright helmets and shiny armors, and it was obvious that they were discussing the military.
So he quickly knelt on one knee without hesitation to salute Miss Jiang, claiming that he was guilty.
Of course, he said that he did not follow Marshal Jiang's orders to go out to the city to fight.
Even though the troops were damaged and the generals were almost wiped out.
If Miss Jiang hadn't expected his virtue, she had arranged 50,000 Xixia Army to cross the river street in advance.
His 10,000 new Song army, together with his assistant Guichicheng, and the four thousand steel arm crossbows in his hand, all of them were compensated without leaving any remaining in that battle.
If the war really reached that level, even if Meng Gong escaped by chance on the battlefield, he would have been beheaded by Zhao and Rui when he returned to Xinsong.
Therefore, it is beyond doubt that Miss Jiang has saved him.
In addition, Meng Gong is now convinced by this Jiang Dama.
And she was also respectful of her strategy and wisdom.
So at this moment, how could he dare to be sloppy in etiquette?
At this time, Miss Jiang was sitting on the handsome chair in the middle, looking like Haitang was not sleeping enough, and her body was filled with a hint of laziness.
It was winter, and even though there were two rows of huge charcoal braziers in the house.
But the large flower hall is leaking from all sides, so it is not necessarily warm.
Although Miss Jiang was wrapped in a sable fur, she put a thick cushion on the chair.
But on her delicate and beautiful face, the tip of her pretty little nose was still slightly red.
When she saw Meng Gong kneeling down from below with a regular manner, telling her heartbrokenly that she was not in a good position in the battle and asking the marshal to order the marshal to punish him, Miss Jiang laughed in her heart.
She had expected all this, and Meng Gong's previous actions were already under her plan.
However, seeing that General Meng was so submissive, she was so honest that the girl looked at him a little differently.
In fact, with the average quality of the generals of the Song Dynasty, General Meng Gong is undoubtedly the best choice.
However, although he is good at marching and fighting and strategy, he is arrogant and stubborn, and has many minor problems such as not cultivating personal ethics.
But looking at his current appearance, Miss Jiang thought to herself: If this guy can truly repent and broaden his horizons, don’t take his old army things to the table.
