The tribal leader really kept his word. The next day, he and his son arrived as promised, and they brought the people he said could make leather boats, as well as the people who could row leather boats.
When he left the barracks, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan also remembered this, but at that time, the tribal leader had gone far away, and it was too late for him to send someone to catch up with him.
he turned to think that after the tribal leader came, it would take some time to make the leather boat needed by the army to cross the river, and when the tribal leader came, let him go He sent someone back to call, and it won't delay the work.
that's it.
It was unexpected that the tribal leader took the initiative to say that this matter had been done well. Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, thought that the tribal leader was really good and trustworthy.
Thinking of this, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, rewarded the tribe leaders with one or two silver and a bowl of mutton.
Before working, there is a reward. The people brought by the tribal leader are very happy.
After eating and drinking enough, Yao Shu and the tribal leader went to make the look of the leather boat.
At the same time, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan ordered Boyan to lead two thousand Mongolian warriors and tribal leaders to bring people who were proficient in kayaking to learn how to row the kayak.
In addition, general Wu Liang Hetai is responsible for leading the soldiers to get familiar with the nature of water along the Jinsha River every day.
When they were swimming on the bank, the Dali soldiers on the other side burst out laughing.
The water flow on the bank is slow, but in the middle of Jinsha River, the water potential is just two concepts.
The soldiers of Dali felt that even if they swam along the bank, they would be washed away by the rapid current in the middle of Jinsha River.
It doesn't make any sense for them to practice like this.
They knew that Kublai Khan had another plan.
After six days of preparation, they made nearly 600 leather tankers. In addition, there are more than a thousand individual leather tankers.
After having a good rest in the daytime, the fourth Lord Kublai Khan called the generals to the Chinese army.
This decision, everyone is puzzled.
In their opinion, the Mongolian army is far less familiar with the Jinsha River than Sergeant Dali. It is also a matter of recent days to row this leather boat. It is advantageous for them to choose to cross the river in the daytime.
But I didn't expect that the fourth King Kublai Khan would cross the Jinsha River on a dark night.
General Wuliang Hetai was sent by Khan Mongolia to assist the fourth Prince Kublai Khan to attack Dali.
He is also a veteran of the battlefield.
It can be said that among all the people present, except the fourth Prince Kublai Khan, none of them had the same seniority as him.
He asked if he needed a torch.
But Kublai Khan shook his head and said that it was unnecessary.
”Is it too dangerous for the water to flow so fast without torch lighting? " General Wu Liang asked.
Boyan will then Wu Liang he Tai's words, said: "fourth prince, the end will feel that the general said very reasonable."
But for their words, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, did not care at all. He told them not to worry about this matter, just to do their own thing well.
After they took over the general's orders, they began to act.
When he arrived at the ferry, Kublai Khan, the fourth king, asked Yang Lianzhen, "master, are you ready?"
"Don't worry, fourth prince. Everything is ready." Master Yang lianzhenjia replied.
Just then, about a mile away from them, on both sides of the Jinsha River, people were noisy and countless torches were lit.
It seems that someone is crossing the river. The Dali army on the other side finds out that they are fighting fiercely.
General Wu lianghetai asked, "fourth prince, is it the people you arranged to cross the river from there?"
"Of course." The fourth King replied.
The fourth Prince Kublai Khan's actions today puzzled senior general Wu lianghetai.
Just seeing that he was busy directing the battle at this time, he did not go further.
The sergeant brought a lot of rope, about the thickness of his thumb.
Master Yang lianzhenjia tied one end of the rope to his waist and stood by the water side with his eyebrow stick in hand.
Concentrate on luck, Qimei stick on the ground to poke hard. Master Yang lianzhenjia flew to the other side.
With his skill, of course, it was impossible to fly over directly. When he reached one third of the place, master Yang lianzhenjia slowed down and fell down.
Right foot on the surface of Jinsha River gently, turbid gas sink, real gas rise, again forward.
Three times in a row, he fell quietly on the other side of the Jinsha River.
During the day, master Yang lianzhenjia and the fourth Prince Kublai have seen it. Just on the bank where Yang lianzhenjia landed, there is a very strong ancient tree.
Untie the rope around your waist and tie it to the ancient tree.To do this well, master Yang lianzhenjia pulled the rope and loosened the armor for two times.
This is a good signal that he and the fourth Prince agreed in advance.
After receiving the signal, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan immediately asked Boyan, the tribal leader, father and son, with the sergeant, to take a leather boat made of sheepskin and pull the rope on the surface of the water to the other side.
With the help of a tied rope, it's much faster than rowing with oars.
Not long after, the three of them took the sergeant to the other side.
Most of the people on the other side were attracted to the point not far away from them, but thousands of people came all at once. The soldiers in Dali still noticed it, and they began to fight back.
When the last leather bag boat of the first round left the shore, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan asked general Wu Liang to command his troops and use the sheep's leather bag to make a floating bridge.
Boyan and the three of them are all elite men in the Mongolian army. They wait to get ashore. Although many Dali soldiers wake up, it is impossible to drive Boyan and the three of them down the Jinsha River in a short time.
This will buy time for the later Mongolia to assume that the pontoon will be.
General Wuliang Hetai assumed a floating bridge along the rope of Yanglian zhenjiala on both sides of Jinsha River.
In the barracks of the army, the sergeant was secretly trained to set up the floating bridge.
It's more difficult underwater than on the ground.
They have done drills in advance and have some experience. There is a rope beside the plane. Although the speed of erecting the floating bridge is not very fast, the overall progress is still smooth.
When Boyan on the other side had fewer and fewer people, and there were only more than 1000 left, general Wu lianghetai finally set up the floating bridge on the other side.
Finally, the army can keep pushing forward.
See the rescue army arrived, Boyan they three people led the rest of the soldiers are spirit, fight back.
Although the soldiers guarding here are also the elite army of Dali, they are inferior to the Mongolian army.
In the face of a steady stream of people, the Dali soldiers who were guarding here were finally unable to resist and began to rout.
The ferry on this side of Jinsha River has been firmly controlled by the Mongolian army.
General Wu lianghetai asked Boyan to stay at the ferry, so he led his army to chase the fleeing Dali soldiers.
At this time, it's very dark. I'm not familiar with the terrain here.
It's not right for Boyan to catch up with the sergeant of Dali so rashly. However, general Wuliang Hetai was sent by the Mongol Khan. He was second only to Kublai Khan, the forty thousand Lord. He wanted to stop him. He was afraid that general Wuliang Hetai would not listen to him.
There is a big difference in the status of the two sides.
There is no way, Boyan let his bodyguard rushed to the other side immediately, to the fourth Prince Kublai Khan to inform the news.
After hearing this, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, stamped his feet and said, "this Wuliang Hetai is really dazed by the victory."
"The general is Khan's confidant. If there is something wrong with Wuliang Hetai, mengge Khan will blame us." Yao Shudao.
The fourth Prince Kublai said, "follow me to the other side."
"What shall we do, fourth prince?" Boyan bowed and asked.
Kublai Khan replied, "you are still here. I will lead the army to meet Wu lianghetai."
"No, fourth Lord." Yao Shu stopped.
Kublai Khan asked: "if you don't save me, you know the consequences like a mirror. How can you stop me from taking care of Wu Liang? "
" of course, taking care is taking care. " Yao Shu replied.
He added: "in my opinion, general Boyan is the only one to take care of Wu Liang's army. Fourth prince, you'd better stay here and take charge."
Care is chaos.
After listening to Yao Shu's words, he also realized that his decision was not right.
At present, in addition to the fierce battle with Dali soldiers, we need to mobilize the people behind.
At present, this matter can not be done by anyone but myself.
The fourth Prince Kublai said, "just as Mr. Yao said, Boyan will lead ten thousand cavalry to meet Wu lianghetai."
"Remember, we must make sure that Wu Liang and Taiwan come back safely." He added.
Boyan said: "fourth prince, at the moment, our soldiers are very angry. There are too many ten thousand soldiers. The last general only needs to lead two thousand soldiers to ensure that Wu Liang will come back safely."
"Pride and defeat are inevitable. We should not underestimate the fighting capacity of Dali officers and men." The fourth King Kublai said.
Yao Shu said: "listen to the fourth prince, take ten thousand people."
One is the manager, the other is the counselor he admires. Although Boyan didn't agree with what they said, he dared to refute them openly.
He took ten thousand people and hurried away to meet Wu Liang.The fourth Prince looked at Boyan's back and disappeared into the night. He said, "I hope nothing happens."
"If you don't feel at ease, the poor monk is willing to lead the troops behind general Boyan." Master Yang Lianzhen said.
Kublai Khan, the fourth king, listened to him and said, "if there is a master, I will be relieved."
With that, he assigned a team to master Yang lianzhenjia.
There was a large number of troops. Until noon the next day, 90% of the troops crossed the Jinsha River.
The rest are mainly logistics troops and supplies.
The width of the floating bridge is limited. Some bulky baggage can't pass directly. It needs to be disassembled into several parts before it can pass over the floating bridge.
It takes a lot of effort to dismantle it.
It is estimated that it will take another day for the rest to reach the shore.
When the tent was set up, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, entered the tent.
Last night, when he was in command of the battle, he didn't rest all night, so his bodyguard suggested that he take a rest first.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, obeyed his advice and lay down on his marching bed.
Close your eyes, I feel very tired, but I can't sleep.
Since the departure of general Wu Liang, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan has sent two groups of people. But so far, there is no news about these two groups of people.
According to the plan of the fourth King Kublai Khan, as long as we cross the Jinsha River and have a foothold on the other bank, we can achieve our goal.
Who would have thought that Wu Liang Hetai, the great general, was dazed by the victory and went to catch up with sergeant Dali at night, regardless of his orders.
At the thought of this, Kublai Khan was very angry. I feel that general Wu Liang Hetai, as his deputy, should be so impulsive. It's not enough to succeed, but more than to lose.
Anger is anger, but we still have to find a way.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, was not sleepy at all. He simply got up from his marching bed and went back to the front of the tent to look at the map.
To march into Yunnan is a long-term plan.
From that time on, Genghis Khan, the grandfather of the fourth King Kublai Khan, asked the merchants of Mongolian Khanate to draw pictures of the places they passed when they went to Dali.
After several generations of hard work, the map Kublai Khan is looking at is quite accurate.
According to the direction of the three groups of people, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, looked carefully.
It didn't matter. He was startled.
In the direction they went, about a hundred miles away, there was a canyon.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, once heard the introduction of the newly obedient tribal leader. The entrance and exit of the canyon are very spacious, and it can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
It's just that the exit is very narrow. It's a bit difficult for one person and one rider to get out of it.
The commander-in-chief in Dali must know about this situation. If he is good at marching and fighting, he will set an ambush in this canyon.
As long as they wait for the troops of general Wuliang to enter the canyon, they arrange for the sergeant to block the entrance and the exit. If you attack the army of general Wuliang Hetai from a high place, even if they don't destroy all of them, I'm afraid there will be very few left.
General Wu Liang Hetai is leading the elite army of khantin under the hand of mengge Khan. If this happens, with the personality of his elder brother and mengge Khan, he will surely think that this is Kublai Khan's deliberate plan to kill people with a knife.
At that time, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, couldn't wash it even when he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Somebody, go and invite Mr. Yao." Thinking of this, he called out to the big tent.
