The Yuan army showed no signs of dispatching for three days, and the spies from the Bureau of Affairs did not send back useful information. Just when Zhao Bing was about to send a navy army to a large cruise along the canal, the scout suddenly came to report that there were small groups of Yuan army 10 miles northwest of the mausoleum area. Because the two sides were too close, our scout cavalry opened fire first, killed and injured five enemy soldiers on the spot, and then quickly left and reported. The naval ships patrolling the canal also found several small warships from the direction of Shaoxing, as if they were coming to spy.

After hearing this, Zhao Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the reflex arc of the Yuan army commander was too long, so he sent troops to reconnaissance for so long, but fortunately they came. Ni Liang reported that he had sent reconnaissance cavalry again to investigate, and at the same time, he ordered the lookout posts of various commanding heights to strengthen the observation in the direction of Shaoxing, and the troops were on guard; Zheng Yong also sent three dragon boats out of the Yuhe River to block the enemy ships and further investigated the situation.

The enemy scouts appeared ten miles away from Shaoxing. Zhao Bing judged that the enemy brigade would not be too far away and would not have too many troops. It was probably a thousand-man team stationed in Shaoxing Prefecture. He estimated that one was the enemy generals who made a mistake in judgment and did not understand his own troops, thinking that a thousand-man team was enough to deal with it; the other was out of caution, and that the vanguard team was sent this time. But he thought that no matter what the situation was, he must first determine the situation before further deciding how to fight.

Therefore, Zhao Bing felt that Ni Liang and Zheng Yong's handling measures were not improper, which also shows that Ni Liang has gradually matured after years of training and learning and training in the New Army Training Camp. He is no longer the stupid kid who only knows how to follow him and obey his instructions in everything. Now that the guards have gradually adjusted, the young officers have gradually grown up, and have now taken the lead and become the most energetic and energetic unit in the entire army. He can also gradually let go without having to do everything himself.

Today, the burial ceremony of Lizong and his queen will be held, that is, reinstalling the coffin, then moving it into Xuan Palace, and closing the underground palace. Zhao Bing, as a successor or descendants, must of course be present. At present, Ni Liang has fully understood his strategic intentions, so he does not have to interfere too much in their command. Besides, the guards have sufficient troops and materials and are fully prepared, and even if there is a mistake in the first battle, it will not affect the overall situation.

In fact, there was nothing Zhao Bing at the burial ceremony. The coffin of Li Zong and his wife had been broken by tomb robbers, and they made the coffin as it was. Because they had prepared in advance, all the items were prepared in Qiongzhou, and then they were detected from the stolen things according to the treasure book that was buried last time. However, the dragon robe could not be worn and could only be covered on the corpse. Then they put the burial objects in turn, and then sent them to the treasure book. He inspected them one by one and sealed the coffin and moved them into the underground palace.

Xuan Palace is actually a rectangular stone chamber with one stone wall outside. Considering that the soil in the south of the Yangtze River is humid and the groundwater level is high, an outer wall is added, and the two walls are filled with glue soil. Among the stone walls, an outer coffin is first placed, and the coffin is moved into the coffin, and then the burial objects are placed again. The cypress coffin is covered with a Tianpan capsule net, and then a cypress beam is added, and the original cypress wood is closed. Finally, the entire Xuan Palace is sealed with stone strips, and then the Vajra wall is built.

Because it was a second time, the whole ceremony was not too grand, but it was very complicated. It is said that it was implemented completely in accordance with the old law of the Northern Song Dynasty imperial tomb. This ceremony was extremely special. There were constant music here, monks and Taoists chanting scriptures and salvation, and paper ashes were everywhere, but the sound of guns and cannons there was very fierce fighting. Zhao Bing thought that if this ancestor had a spirit at this moment, he would not know what he thought, and would he just want to lift the coffin board.

If this person lives a wonderful life, Lizong was not a prince, but a relative of the Southern Song royal family. He was the ninth generation grandson of Zhao Dezhao, the son of Zhao Kuangyin. After his predecessor, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan forged an edict to depose the crown prince Zhao Hong, and he was lucky enough to take the throne. However, in the first ten years of succession to the throne, he was under the control of the powerful prime minister Shi Miyuan, and he did not care about government affairs until Shi Miyuan died.

When he was in power, Lizong also wanted to do a foreign business and was determined to revive. He took reform measures such as abolishing the Shi Party, personally promoted the censors, clarified the administration of officials, rectified the finances, and rectified the finances. However, his wish was good, and everyone saw it. In the later period, the government affairs fell one after another and fell into the hands of treacherous ministers such as Ding Daquan, Jia Sidao and other treacherous ministers, and the country's power declined. He joined forces with Mongolia to destroy Jin, but he drove away wolves and tigers, and became enemies with Mongolia. After Mongolia attacked Ezhou, Jia Sidao surrendered to Mongolia in his name and completely ceded the land north of the Yangtze River to Mongolia.

Lizong's family life was also a mess. He married the daughters of Xie Daoqing and Jia She in his early years, and favored Jia because of Miss Jia's appearance. Later, because of Empress Dowager Yang and his ministers, Xie Daoqing was the queen and in charge of the central palace. Later, Jia died of illness and favored Concubine Yan alone. He intervened in the government affairs, which made a mess. He was even more good at playing than Huizong. Not only did he go to the kilns, but he also brought prostitutes to the palace to play with him. But in the end he had only one son, but his youngest son died early when he was not as old as the age of the year. After his death, he could only join the Dabao.

However, Lizong was not at peace after his death. His posthumous title was Emperor Anxiao, Jiandao, Preparing for virtue and reviving the great achievements of the revival of the lieutenant and military sages, and the temple name was Lizong. He initially planned the five characters "Jing", "Chun", "Cheng", "Yun", and "Li" and were selected for the temple name, and finally he was positioned as "Lizong". However, some people said that "Lizong" was the same as the posthumous title proposed by Jin Aizong, and had to be renamed "Lizong". However, the people thought that it was based on the reality of Lizong's advocacy of Neo-Confucianism, which made people misunderstand for so many years. After only 20 years of death, he was dug up to be excavated and exposed to the wilderness. He lived in this life without a lifetime.

"Little thief, let the Buddha go quickly, otherwise you will be smashed into pieces!" Zhao Bing didn't need to be present to watch the rest of the work, but when he passed by the Shinto, he heard screams and scolding.

"This guy is quite strong. He has been tied up for three days and is still very energetic to curse people!" Zhao Bing turned his face and saw that it was the tomb robbers. Although those people were put down, they were tied to a tree. Not only were they not eaten or drunk, the past military soldiers and husbands could not help but vent their anger. They were beaten up long ago and were dying. Yang Lianzhenjia, as the culprit, was naturally beaten the most. If it weren't for those blue eyes, it would be difficult to recognize them. But even so, the kid was still like a young hero who could not be beaten to death, and he was quite motivated to curse people.

"Did the little thief hear that? The Khan's soldiers have arrived. After the Buddha is released, you can still keep your body full!" Yang Lianzhenjia stopped when he saw Zhao Bing and said with a grim smile.

"I dare to insult Your Majesty again and cut your tongue!" Chen Dun, as the little emperor's close friend, could not ignore it. He stepped forward and slapped him twice in the face and said viciously.

"You are really not particular. No one is allowed to slap people in the face in the future, so as not to get rid of the Khan and the other knights of the Yan Luo Palace." Zhao Bing quickly stopped him.

"The Buddha is going to be reborn in the Pure Land... What did you say just now?" Yang Lianzhenjia grinned, but suddenly thought of something again.

"Don't be impatient. When you cut your head, you might be able to meet happily on the road to Huangquan!" Zhao Bing said with a smile, not getting angry with him, and turned his head and left after saying that.

"What's the big khan? What's the big khan..." Yang Lianzhenjia was really anxious this time and shouted repeatedly like a betrayal of his parents. He knew very well that he could be a hero in Jiangnan and dared not take anyone seriously. It was the favor of the ceremonial guard Kublai Khan, but he also offended many officials in Jiangnan and was hated by the prince Zhenjin. If the big khan really died, he would have no backer. I wonder if the few people were looking forward to him dying early...

Zhao Bing said he didn't care, but he was finally worried. He left the magistrate and went straight to the front. Chen Dun knew he couldn't stop him, so he could only lead a team of personal guards to follow closely. However, he failed to enter the building site and was stopped by Ni Liang. He said that the gentleman repeatedly told him not to let His Majesty take risks, so he acted as if he was beaten to death and refused to let him move forward. He stopped the Shengcai. Zhao Bing knew this "stubborn" temperament and knew that if he insisted on moving forward, Ni Liang could carry him back and could only stop. He chose a high ground to observe the situation at the forefront. He also learned about the progress of the battle from Ni Liang.

The enemy who came this time belonged to Wanhu, Shangdu, Wanhu, Hangzhou. According to the 1,000-person team that came in the early morning of the reconnaissance, was just a vanguard, and most of them came along the land. Therefore, Ni Liang used the alert position set up at the entrance of the valley to launch a blocking force to block the enemy by fighting step by step, preventing the enemy from discovering that there was a fraud and then not daring to enter the valley, making it difficult to achieve the purpose of luring the enemy into depth and gathering and annihilation. In the direction of the water, the enemy tried to in-depth reconnaissance and was annihilated. Later, the enemy arranged troops on both sides of the canal, and their intention seemed to be to prevent our army from breaking into the direction of Haikou, and there was no fierce battle at the moment.

At present, the enemy vanguard launched several attacks in the direction of Gukou, all of which were repelled by our army. In terms of scale, it was just a tentative attack, but it only destroyed the obstacles set on the front, as if clearing obstacles for a large-scale attack and looking for flaws in our army's defense in order to concentrate our troops to open a breakthrough. Our army strictly guarded its positions and did not actively launch a counterattack.

After hearing this, Zhao Bing held a telescope and looked forward. If the entire valley is like a small-mouthed bottle, the valley entrance is like a bottle entrance, and the mausoleum area is located at the bottom of the valley. Mountains on both sides of the mountain pass stand with a valley about a mile in the middle. Our first blocking position is set on the inside of fifty steps from the valley entrance. From his perspective, he chose this position well, and he could use the mountain screens on both sides to protect the enemy from detour to encircle the enemy. He could also use the narrowest part to shorten the defense line, and at the same time limit the deployment of enemy troops, so that we could concentrate our firepower to annihilate the enemy.

Also subject to the limitations of the terrain, the valley estuary tilted inward, the ground was sand and gravel, and there were only a stream of rulers on both sides of the valley, which was more than ten feet wide, which was not enough to limit the impact of the enemy cavalry. The two commanders of the Third Brigade and an artillery battalion were the two commanders of the Third Brigade. They arranged two foothill corners fifty and thirty steps in front of the position, dug a trench in front of the fortification, and built two fortifications with stones and sand to block the impact of the enemy cavalry. On the four or five miles to the main position, three blocking lines were set up to resist the enemy's attacks layer by layer.

Zhao Bing looked at the fewer than a hundred corpses in front of the defense line, and they were scattered in sporadic places, and there were still six or seventy steps closest to the position. From this, it can be seen that Ni Liang was right that the enemy did not launch an established attack, but only tentatively attacked the ranger. It was probably because the rapid-fire cannons arranged behind them may not have been fired. Because the ranger often used small groups of enemy soldiers of three or five teams, and it was a waste to hit them with cannons, so they generally used squad-level muskets to gather fire, or used the thunder gun to launch a single shot to attack the ranger who was harassed.

‘Woooo…’ With a horn sound, the Yuan army launched an attack again. A team of cavalry with about a hundred cavalry rushed out of the enemy formation and rushed towards their own positions. Zhao Bing also turned his sight to the battlefield at this time. He knew that this was a tactic used by Mongolian cavalry to attack the enemy formation. After constantly dispatching rangers to clear the obstacles in front of the enemy formation, he would use the cavalry of a squad to harass the enemy formation. This 100-man team was just the first attack group.

In the impression of the world, the Mongols conquered the world with their fast horses and scimitars. In fact, the reason why they were invincible in the world was that they were bows and arrows. They had the combination bow with the longest range and the most lethality at that time, which was convenient for cavalry to use. This bow not only had a long range, but also had the lethality of the arrows. If they were equipped with sharp metal arrows, they could penetrate heavy armor.

It is recognized that the Mongols are good at shooting. They can shoot arrows in all directions freely, and cooperate with war horses with extremely strong maneuvering, so that they can continuously attack the enemy from a long distance, while not giving the enemy a chance to fight back. Under this kind of attack, the enemy who is in line to defend not only cannot catch up, but also cannot escape. Only by being an arrow target are often killed by Mongolian soldiers with bows and arrows before the start of a strong attack. When the enemy loses heavily, they will engage in close combat. And no matter how strong the enemy's spirit and armor are, it is only a matter of time to completely collapse.

The unpleasant tactics were destined to be bloody in front of the Song army this time, because the opponents they face today had firearms with a longer range than crossbows and greater lethality than the crossbow. When a wave of Mongolian troops entered a distance of 300 steps, the rapid-fire cannon arranged after the fortifications first opened fire. At this time, the bullet was loaded with a flowering bullet, which had a farther range than the shotgun and was more powerful.
