Chapter 41: Leading by example
"It's better to let professional people do professional things. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Liu Yanzhi made a final decision and vetoed Liu Handong's idea of non-separation.
Zhang Shijie's flagship played a banner and invited the Taishi to move and discuss military affairs.
At this time, more than 10,000 men and horses of the vanguard of the Song army have landed on the shore, set up camp around Quanzhou City, and put on a posture of long-term siege, but the number of Song troops is too small, and it is impossible to drain the water of a huge Quanzhou city siege, and the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, but the besieging army has fallen into a food shortage.
The warship originally carried not much food, only enough to eat for five days, the raid turned into a protracted war, the food was eaten, and the people outside Quanzhou City could not find much food at home, and if this continued, I am afraid that the city was not broken, and the besieged city starved to death first.
Two years ago, Zhang Shijie led the army to besiege Quanzhou for 70 days, and finally returned in vain, which shows how difficult Quanzhou is to fight, and at that time there were loyal to the Song Dynasty Xu, Zeng, Chen three family warriors armed in and outside the alliance, Qingyuan Shannan Shaolin Temple of the strong support, and later the Song army withdrew, Pu Shou Geng cooperated with the Yuan army to slaughter the three major families, the South Shaolin Temple was also razed to the ground, and today to attack Quanzhou, the internal and external aid all ceased to exist, the difficulty of attacking the city can be imagined.
Liu Yanzhi had understood these situations in advance, and he had already had a draft in his heart, and boarded Zhang Shijie's flagship in a small boat, and the side of the ship was full of Song Jun with bright armor, holding a spear in one hand and a waist in the other, majestic and neat, Zhang Shijie wore a battle robe, stood high and arched his hand: "Military affairs are in the body, there is a loss of welcome, and I still look at Taishi Haihan." ā
Liu Handong was a little displeased, this Zhang Shijie is too big, he has fought so many defeats and has a high position, and he occupies the position of marshal of the navy, and he also likes to put on music to show his old qualifications, according to the official rank, Zhang Shijie is the deputy envoy of the privy council, the commander of the marching marshal, the envoy of soldiers and horses, the Duke of Yueguo, and Liu Yanzhi, but the authority is much greater, and the qualifications are even more overwhelming.
But Liu Yanzhi didn't care, and boarded the deck to greet Zhang Shijie, the two commanders sat down facing Quanzhou City, and all the officers listened to the order on the lower deck.
"I'm really ashamed, the high walls of Quanzhou City are thick, and it can't be captured for a while, can the Taishi have a strategy to break the enemy?" Zhang Shijie is also honest and admits that he doesn't have this ability.
"What's so difficult about this, send the dead to break open the city gates, rush in, and live together." Liu Yanzhi said lightly, Zhang Shijie's nostrils under the account of the generals smoked, these days they have been doing this, cutting down trees overnight to build ladders, dispatching people who dare to die, climbing the city with swords and shields and ants, using thick tree trunks as siege rams, dozens of people carrying and hitting the door, rolling wood and stones on the head of the city, and the dead corpses under the city, even if there are barely a few people to climb the city, they were immediately driven down, since ancient times, there is no strong force three times that of the enemy, let alone talk about attacking the city, this job has no skills at all, it is purely filled with human lives.
"What the master said was light." A general pouted and said, this person's name is Su Jingzhan, he is a general under Zhang Shijie, and he is quite trusted, and his father Su Liuyi is also a senior official of Kaifuyi and the three divisions, so he is very confident.
The rest of the generals also showed contempt, in their eyes, Liu Yanzhi is still a demon, and Guo Jing, a god stick in the Jingkang period, is of the same nature, where can this kind of person march and fight, he will only talk about it, and the victory of Yashan is not his credit alone, it is the concerted efforts of 200,000 soldiers and civilians, it is God who blesses the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the spirit of the ancestors and ancestors who has played a role in the heavens.
Liu Yanzhi knew that although he had made great contributions in the Battle of Yashan, he could not convince Zhang Shijie and other sailors, and this was a good opportunity for them to be completely convinced.
"If you don't believe it, this master will make a show for you." Liu Yan straightened his battle robe, revealing the armor inside, and asked slowly, "Who wants to follow this Taishi to the head of Quanzhou City for the second time?" ā
None of the generals under Zhang Shijie said a word, Liu Yanzhi was about to tease them a few words, and suddenly a big man came out and said: "A certain wish!" ā
"What do you call it?" Liu Yan looked up and down, this person was eight feet tall, and he had a pair of tiger-like eyes.
"I am Chen Daju, the leader of the people of Yunxiao on Fujian Road, and the villagers call me Chen Hangyan." Dahan replied
"It turned out to be Minzhuang, and the blame had to die." Liu Yanzhi smiled and said, "Marshal Zhang, I will borrow Chen Hangyan and return it to you if I take Quanzhou." ā
Without waiting for Zhang Shijie to answer, Chen Hangyan said: "If the Taishi can break Quanzhou, Chen Hangyan is willing to drive for you." ā
Zhang Shijie's face was embarrassed, Chen Hangyan was not his descendant, but a civilian armed force that had always insisted on fighting guerrillas near Quanzhou, Chen Hangyan wanted to be with whomever that was his freedom, but this would make him a little unable to get off the stage.
Liu Yan is straightforward and does not care about the rules of etiquette in the officialdom, the Song Dynasty's hundreds of years of bad habits in officialdom can not be broken overnight, if you want to open up overseas according to your own plan, develop science and technology, you must break these artificial taboos, eliminate superstition and obedience to the authority of high-ranking officials, these do not need to be deliberate, just start from little by little.
"Without further ado, let's go and take Quanzhou." Liu Yan took off the robe that was covered in the armor, and his own soldiers took it behind him, handing over the special weapon of Master Taishi, a mace made of wrought copper.
"Okay, Ben Shuai will cheer for the Taishi." Zhang Shijie didn't want to fall behind, but it was impossible for him to go into battle shirtless at his age, so he had to take this way to brush up his sense of existence.
The war drums sounded, Liu Yanzhi took Liu Handong and Chen Hangyan, and the three of them rode war horses to the place where Quanzhou City was under an arrow, and the houses outside the city wall were burned by the Yuan army to prevent them from becoming a cover for the Song army.
"Stay and watch me cast a spell." Liu Yanzhi hung the mace on the victory hook, pulled out the sword, and recited the words, hoping to release a ball of energy to break the gate of Quanzhou.
"Be careful, cover your ears." Liu Handong reminded Chen Hangyan and raised his hands to cover his ears first.
Chen Hangyan looked like a model, although he didn't understand why, he also covered his ears and stared at Taishi Liu's whole moth with wide eyes.
Above the city, Zhang Hongfan was also looking at Liu Yanzhi, he knew that this demon law was profound, and he was standing in the open space outside the city at this time, reciting words, afraid that he was going to make a big noise.
"Let the sons and daughters be on guard, the demon is coming." Zhang Hongfan gave the order to go, and at the same time, his personal soldiers were also ready, and the situation was not good to escort the marshal to retreat at any time.
The Yuan army was extremely nervous, squatting behind the battlements and sweating.
The Song army also held their breath, expecting a miracle, and the two armies were silent in front of the formation, only the sound of war drums came from the flagship on the sea in the distance, which was the generalissimo Zhang Shijie personally beating the drums and cheering.
"Put!" Liu Yan swung his sword directly, but there was no movement on the tip of the sword, and the power of the desolation in his body seemed to be asleep.
"Put!" Liu Yanzhi tried again, but it still didn't work, and he couldn't hold it on his face.
"Put it again!" Liu Yanzhi used too much force this time, and the sword came out of his hand.
There was a burst of laughter at the head of the city, and the tense atmosphere was broken, followed by a rain of arrows, which sparsely landed on the grass in front of the horse.
Song Jun's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Liu Yanzhi was annoyed and ashamed, turned the horse's head back to the Song army brigade, snatched a big flag from the hands of the flag soldiers, and rushed towards Quanzhou City with the belly of the horse, the archers on the head of the city reacted, and released arrows in waves, and suddenly the arrows rained down, Liu Yanzhi waved the flagpole and dialed the arrows, and the war horse ran faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the city wall.
"Drive!" Liu Handong also rushed forward after him, and seeing that Chen Hangyan didn't follow, he turned around and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze!" ā
Chen Hangyan was also a straight intestine, and when he saw that the Taishi and the general had rushed up, he didn't care if anyone followed, so he followed Er Liu with a whip and a charge.
The Song army did not move at all, they did not receive a military order, and they would not even move forward.
"Marshal, the three of them have attacked the city." Su Jingzhan reported.
Zhang Shijie was still waving the drum hammer, he played very rhythmically, with a clear eye, he didn't seem to care about the siege battle, and he didn't turn his head to that side, just snorted, noncommittal.
In a moment, Liu Yanzhi has already arrived under the city, the cloud ladder left after yesterday's siege battle has been burned, useless, the arrows shot down from the city are more dense, all of them were wrapped away by him with a wave of the flag, and then thrown with all his strength, the arrows flew up the city wall, shooting a piece of death.
Liu Handong and Chen Hangyan also arrived at the city, and Liu Yan said straightly: "Follow me to the city!" Throwing the flagpole up, carrying one in one hand, and rising from the ground, the two of them felt that the blood rushed to their heads, and after a period of dizziness, they were already stepping on the city wall of Quanzhou.
The Yuan soldiers were all stupid, the three Song generals were still at the foot of the city just now, why didn't they come up at a glance.
Liu Yan stretched out his hand, caught the big flag that he had just thrown, and used the two-zhang long flagpole as a weapon, and swept away thousands of troops on the spot, but these archers couldn't play the slightest advantage in close combat, and were swept by the flagpole, followed by Liu Handong and Chen Hangyan chopped to death seven or eight.
"Marshal, they're in town!" Su Jingzhan's voice became urgent.
Zhang Shijie was overjoyed, and the rhythm of the drumming also accelerated.
The three Song generals who climbed the head of Quanzhou City were all 10,000 enemies, the space on the city wall was narrow, not suitable for the deployment of troops, the three of them cooperated with each other, and fought a bloody road straight to the enemy building where Zhang Hongfan was, the Yuan army desperately came to block, and Liu Yanzhi, who was rushing to the front, swept down the city one by one, he only cared about rushing and beating, and handed over the rear to the two warriors, and the three of them were like no one.
Zhang Hongfan already had experience, and quickly evacuated the city tower along the horse road under the protection of his own soldiers.
Liu Yan rushed straight to the south gate tower, grabbed a knife, cut off the Yuan army's Daxu, and planted the battle flag of the Song army on the city.
"Marshal, look!" Su Jingzhan's voice trembled in surprise, "Taishi really did it!" ā
The drumming stopped abruptly, Zhang Shijie looked up, and the Great Song Dynasty flag fluttered in the wind on the city.
The Song army under the city is still immovable, although the soldiers are impatient, but the military order is the military order, and the unauthorized battle is to kill the head.
Zhang Shijie threw the drum hammer to Su Jingzhan: "You come to beat the drum!" ā
The soldiers couldn't hold it anymore, holding Zhang Shijie's treasure knife, Marshal Zhang drew the knife out of the sheath, and ordered: "Attack the city with all your strength, enter Quanzhou, and don't seal the knife for three days!" ā
After the military order was issued, the Song army rushed to Quanzhou with a wave of vengeful rage.
