The Heavens: Starting from Traveling through Song Qingshu

Chapter 60
With the issuance of military orders one after another, the huge war organization of Hangzhou City Marshal's Mansion began to operate.

Even the people outside the city of Hangzhou are aware of the current atmosphere, a little dignified.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

The earth trembled slightly, and there was a tremor.

In Hangzhou City, many people in the city rushed out of the city and looked towards the flat ground in the distance.

There, teams of soldiers lined up neatly, covering a large area, divided into dozens of square formations, large and small, silent without a single noise.

Except for the 5 horses who stayed behind in Hangzhou City, 15 soldiers gathered together without a sound.

Looking carefully, the frontmost army formations, these soldiers are all wearing black iron armor, holding black spears more than a foot long, standing silently in place, ordinary people look at it, as if they are facing the deep darkness The boundless sea makes people feel suffocated!

Behind the pikemen are shield soldiers who are also wearing battle armor, with long knives hanging from their waists and shields in their hands.

After the Shield Soldiers came the Firearms Battalion.

Cannons were lined up on the chariot. At first glance, there were hundreds of cannons, large and small. The dark hole seemed to be staring from the king of Hades, which made people feel flustered just by looking at it.

Behind the artillery phalanx, there are firecrackers dressed in black battle armor, hats and helmets, and flintlocks on their shoulders. They raise their heads and chests up, in a rather arrogant posture.

It's no wonder they are so arrogant. Among the infantry of the Hangzhou Army, the selection of firecrackers is the most difficult and the requirements are the strictest. Of course, the treatment is also the highest.

On the outermost side, there are two cavalry phalanxes, each with 5000 men and horses, spears, crossbows, and battle armor. Almost all equipment that can be equipped is equipped. This is the real son of the Hangzhou army.

The common people were shocked when they saw this vast army formation that looked like a vast ocean.

"This is our Hangzhou Army? Everyone says that the Mongolian Tartars are powerful, but I feel that they are far behind us!"

"You are not talking nonsense. I heard Li Banxian from the east of the city say that the commander-in-chief is a star from the sky, and he came down to save us common people!"

"The commander-in-chief is descended from the stars, then these soldiers and horses, aren't they the heavenly soldiers and generals?"

"Hey, if that kid from my family is more aggressive, he might be able to divide the army fields and eat army rations now!"

"Don't worry, the war is starting now, and we will definitely need a lot of soldiers to rule the world in the future. Maybe the next conscription will be our turn!"

"I heard that there is a lot of banditry in Anhui and Jiangxi. Those thieves are said to be rebels, but they are no worse than the Tartars. The common people have no way to survive. This time the commander sent troops, probably to deal with them!"

In the crowd watching, Song Xuan rode a war horse, followed by all the martial arts masters under his command, came to the school grounds, looked at the densely packed elite army, and said to Lao Liu: "Come on!"

The sixth son answered the call, opened the army book, and read aloud the list of generals who went out with the army. Afterwards, the generals whose names were called came to the stage to take orders one by one, and reported the sergeants in his department.

Finally, the sixth son reported to Song Xuan: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, there are 1 cavalry soldiers, 8 pike soldiers, 3 sword and shield soldiers, 3 gunfire soldiers, and 5000 artillery battalion soldiers. There are more than 15 soldiers.

In addition, there are more than 18 auxiliary soldiers, supply soldiers, etc., with a total of [-] troops, all of whom have arrived! "

Song Xuan nodded, looking at the elite army wrapped in armored helmets, looking at the simple and excited faces on the school field, he drew out the saber at his waist and pointed to the sky!
"My Hangzhou Army——"

The next moment, thunderous shouts resounded through the sky, shaking the sky and overwhelming the earth.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"

Nearly 20 soldiers shouted in unison, each one extremely excited.

Going out to fight, killing the enemy, and making military exploits are almost the lifelong pursuit of every good boy in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The common people are simple, but they are not stupid. Who doesn't have a steelyard in their hearts?
In their view, it is only a matter of time before they treat ordinary people as human beings, and their elite soldiers will force countless generals to win the world!
If you follow the commander-in-chief, if you can make military achievements and seal your wife and son, your descendants and grandchildren will be able to enjoy the blessings!
Looking at the 18 troops whose morale is like a rainbow,

Song Xuan said in a satisfied voice, "Masters, go out with me and kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars! Kill the Tartars! Kill the Tartars!"

Banners and flags were unfurling, and amidst the shouts of killing idiots, the 18 troops, under the enthusiastic eyes of countless people, slowly moved forward, like a long iron-clad dragon with no end in sight, kicking up waves of dust, and heading towards the north and south. .

At this time, in the city of Hangzhou, shouts came and went.

"Son, don't embarrass our old Zhang's family when you see the Tartars killing them fiercely!"

"Msanggong, my son and I are waiting for you to return from meritorious service!"

"Daddy, you agreed to give me a military medal as a gift, what you said must not be ignored!"

Jinling, also known as Nanjing in later generations, was renamed Jiqing during the reign of Kublai Khan.

Of course, this name is not pleasant, and the folks still call it Jinling.

As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has outstanding people.

The city is surrounded by Zijin Mountains on the north and south sides, and in front of it is the canal and the Yangtze River as barriers. It can be attacked and defended.
In order to fight against Zhang Wuji's Ming army, the Yuan court mobilized most of the defenders from Jiangsu, but even so, there are still about 8 to [-] defenders in Jinling City.

Although they are not elites, relying on the power of the terrain and the city, the average rebel army, even if there are more than a dozen or 20 people, it may be difficult to break through the city.

Wu Da, the general of the Jinling garrison, also thought so.

On this day, as usual, he stood on top of Jinling City, looking at the Zijin Mountain in the distance and the calmly flowing Grand Canal.

This is the country of his Great Yuan Dynasty, the prosperous world brought down by their Mongolian ancestors.

And as a descendant of Mongolia, he was born to enjoy happiness!
Although, he has also heard that bandits are everywhere in the world today, and there are even hundreds of thousands of rebels in the Northland.

But, so what, a flock of two-legged sheep, in front of my great yuan iron cavalry, any resistance force will be trampled into dust!
Like other Mongolian nobles, he believed in military power very much, and believed that as long as the military power was strong enough, any resistance would be nothing to worry about.

As for whether the people can survive, they never care!
It's just that, on this day, the situation seems a little unusual.

Because the scouts he sent out early to investigate the surrounding situation, unexpectedly, none of them came back!
