Chapter 120 [Zhao Hunting's opponent]
The waves are turbulent, and on the vast and boundless sea surface, dozens of ships are shaking in the wind and waves, surging in a vast and rapid sailing. Even in the South China Sea, where sea merchants travel endlessly, such large fleets of ships spread out in one go are extremely rare.
The front position of this fleet is an extremely large warship. There are more than twenty sails alone, which are arranged from the bow to the stern. On the inside of the ship, the women's walls are thick, with outer Mongolian cowhide and smooth leather reflecting the scales and waves of the sea surface, exuding an unspeakable solemnity.
At the middle and rear of the warship, above the tower of the three-room heavy building, a group of strong armored soldiers wrapped in white towels, wearing leather armor, carrying arrows, and holding large shields, swords and guns, standing in front of the scorching sun, standing on all sides of the tower. In the middle of the tower, under a huge blue grosgrain umbrella, and on a thick rosewood chair, sat an old man about fifty years old.
The old man wore a high black barrel-shaped hat with bunches of slightly curly chestnut hair exposed on the brim, and a soft and loose white silk robe that swept with the sea breeze. This look alone exudes a strong exotic smell.
The old man's appearance is also different from the Central Plains: his face is narrow and long, his eyebrows are as thick as a knife, his slender eyes are filled with a strange amber color, his nose bridge is very high, his nose wings are hooked like an eagle's beak, his lips are tight and clumped into a deep lower arc angle, and a gray and white beard under his jaw gives people a sense of sinister majesty.
Behind the old man, there was a young man about twenty-seven or eight years old, with the same outfit, but his hat was blue. The young man's facial features were quite similar to the old man, with two thick horoscopes on his lips, and he was talking with the old man, with elegant words and elegant words. Under the protection of a group of soldiers, he had a unique look.
At this time, the young man was saying to the old man: "Ata (who means Weiyu's father), this time we have more than 30,000 troops across the strait, joining forces with General Manager Long and Aka (who Weiyu's brother). There are nearly 10,000 ships under the command of Brother Shi'an, the son of Li Zuocheng, to attack the ruined Song Dynasty. There are only a few thousand ships in the ruined Song Dynasty. If I attack them ten times, I will definitely take it lightly. I will seize this great merit in destroying Song and prevent Zhang Shuai from being beautiful in the past."
The old man shook his head, frowned, and said, "The remnant Song Xingchao fled to the horns of the sea and the sky, and the trapped beasts were still fighting. He even defeated Saliman, Ma Chengwang, Ma Fuji, and even the Baihuns of Beiting under my command were killed... With your courage and wisdom in Aka, you can only stick to Qiong's management and ask for help from the court again and again. Brother Guan Ge, don't underestimate him."
The young man hurriedly bent over and bowed down to show his respect, saying that he was taught.
This old and young man were Ali Hague, the commander of the Yuan army who was ordered to fight south and his second son Guan Ge. Ali Hague was from Uyghur (that is, the Uyghur people in later generations) and believed in the Islamic religion (this religion is called the Internet forbidden language, so it passed by vaguely), so he dressed up.
Ali Hague had six sons, Guan Ge, two brothers, who were different from his bravery from his brother Humi Hague. He was gentle, knowledgeable and talented, and took the route of civil servants. Ali Hague was originally a family-runner who could read through the books of Weiwuer. Later, he joined the Mongolian general Bu Lianji, who taught his son Hulu Buhua Weiwuer's name. He also recommended it to Kublai Kublai, who was the king of the clan, and became a guard of the royal palace (Qixue). It can be said that he was both civil and military.
Therefore, among the six sons, Ali Hague prefers this neutron who is quite good at both appearance and talent, and always keeps him by his side, thinking that he is a staff member, and is focused on cultivating him. However, this son may be able to keep up with him in his past, but his military strategy cannot be learned 10% of his family.
The "Zhang Shuai" mentioned by Guan Ge is the Mongolian army that destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and the Marshal of the Han army. When the battle of Lin'an of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan army was divided into two groups, one of which was the chief general of Ali Hague, and Zhang Hongfan was once under the Ali Hague Legion. However, in just a few years, Zhang Hongfan came from behind and led the southern expedition to Meng. The Han army was defeated in a row, and finally destroyed the Song army in one fell swoop in the Battle of Yashan. Both the chief general of the southern expedition, and the achievements of the sky were all returned to Zhang Hongfan, and Guan Ge was inevitably unfair to be a father.
God had eyes, so he asked the remnant Song Xingchao to escape to Ata's defense zone. The "Nine-Ba Capital" Zhang Hongfan, who was ill after the Battle of Yashan, was sick and returned north. The great responsibility of suppressing the remnant Song naturally fell on Ata. Although the young emperor of the remnant Song Xingchao was killed in the Battle of Yashan, there were still the Empress Dowager of Song State, Zhang Shijie, Wen Tianxiang, who had always opposed the Celestial Empire, if he could capture and kill a country and these famous generals in one fell swoop, his achievements would not be much better than those of the Battle of Yashan.
This expedition, Guan Ge Ge was full of excitement. He had no doubt that Ata, who used his troops like a god, led tens of thousands of Meng, who were like a wolf and a tiger. The Han army was approaching the Yacheng, and he could definitely pacify the remnant Song court, which even the emperor was gone.
"Yacheng is already in the south, see where can you escape this time!" Brother Guan Ge thought fiercely.
Ali Hague was looking at the vast sea under the sun. This was the second time he had crossed the strait. The last time, he took three months to pacify Qiongzhou. How long will it take this time? One month or half a month?
The remnant Song Xiao court did not take Ali Hague's eyes, and he didn't have to take the two brushes of his old rival Zhang Shijie to heart. The only thing that is worrying is that the State of Song seems to have developed a very attractive new weapon.
From Zhang Gui to Saliman, from Tu Misu to Ma Chengwang, they were all severely damaged by this weapon. The battle between thousands of troops was wiped out by Ma Fuji. The specific details have not been fully reported yet. However, according to the inference of the Qiongzhou Xuanfu envoy Long Wenchao and his eldest son Hu Shi Hague, it is very likely that he had suffered a great loss from the new weapon of Song State. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a few thousand Song troops to destroy Ma Fuji in just a few days.
Before going to the expedition, Ali Hague obtained information of a piece of claws from the battle of Chikan Beach and the Battle of Jiyang Military City. The Song army used a long-tube weapon that could make loud noises and spit out flames. Especially the military newspaper of Qianhu Saliman of the Mongolian army on Chikan Beach is the most detailed, "... The Southern Barbarians used iron long-tubes, and the sound was like firecrackers, dense as rain, and the projectiles shot dozens of steps, the cave gold broke the armor, and the bow and arrow were not as good as the reach..."
"Brother Guan Ge, what do you think is the powerful weapon of Song State mentioned in the Saliman military newspaper?" Ali Hague thought to himself and asked naturally.
Brother Guan Ge obviously had thought about this question for a long time, so he answered without hesitation: "It should be a firearm similar to a firearm, but the people of Song seemed to have made a breakthrough, turning bamboo weapons into iron tools, filling them with gunpowder, launching projectiles, and increasing their power, turning an object that disturbs the enemy into a weapon to kill the enemy."
The sudden muskets of the Song Dynasty sounded quite awesome, but in fact, they were just large fireworks, which had more scary effects than hurting people. As for killing enemies, it was impossible to kill people - who has ever seen fireworks kill people?
Ali Hague nodded slightly, agreed with his son's analysis, and said, "Saliman is also a brave general, but he was severely injured by the Song army with this firearm and drove him to death for more than ten miles... If our army faces the Song army with this firearm this time, there may be casualties."
Brother Guan Ge turned to his father, pressed his chest as a polite voice, and his voice was excited: "The Song Dynasty is in vain, the sun is in the west, and the mere military weapons are only to be able to survive. Now Ata takes the momentum of our Yuan Dynasty to sweep the world, and combines the troops from Guangnan and east to west, ten times the enemy. Under a thunder strike, no matter what kind of weapons and weapons he is, he will turn into powder!"
