Collision (9)

The sound of cannonballs exploding one after another, hammering down on Dachun's ear drums. He couldn't sleep, so he put on his coat and sat up. The slave girl who was serving him thought that he was going to patrol the camp again, so she hurriedly ran over to put on soft armor for him, and was slapped by him and fell to the ground. When several soldiers heard the movement in the big tent, they rushed in, and they couldn't help but set up the slave girl and dragged her out.

"My lord, how many whips!" The captain of the pro-soldier asked, half-kneeling on the ground. Recently, Da Chun has been irritable, and several female slaves have been beaten to death by the guards because of their inconsiderate service. Thinking about today's soft body, the captain couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and thought silently in his heart: "Who let you live in a Han family?" If it were the daughter of our Mongols, she wouldn't have ended up like this! ”

"Forget it, drag her back!" For the first time, Da Chun didn't want to kill people today. With a wave of his hand, he dragged the slave girl back to the tent. The frightened slave girl thanked her with tears in her eyes, but she didn't know how to please Dachun, knelt at the door, didn't dare to stand, didn't retreat, like a wounded kitten, shivering.

"Get up, make me a pot of milk tea!" Da Chun glanced down and commanded.

"Why don't you go make tea, remember, put more salt!" The captain of the pro-soldier stepped forward and kicked the slave girl out. Then, he lowered his dou and walked in front of Da Chun, and persuaded very carefully: "My lord, it's only the fourth watch, do you want to rest for a while!" This slave girl didn't serve well, and her subordinates gave you another one to the back camp? ”

The back camp was a brothel for the Mongolian army, and there were many daughters of ordinary people who were plundered from everywhere. Ordinary soldiers naturally have no chance to kiss Fangze, and generals who have official positions can mention one out to have fun at any time. When the generals had enough of it, they would reward the slave girls to their own soldiers. Therefore, the pro-soldiers are very enthusiastic about the private affairs of the generals, and I wish they each used dozens of people every day, and everyone shared soup and water.

"Forget it, Ben Shuai won't sleep. What happened to the brethren tonight, and how many were wounded! Dachun shook his head and rejected the proposal of the captain of the pro-soldiers.

"No one has reported it yet, and it is estimated that there are more than 300 people to say anything about it!" The captain of the pro-soldier said numbly, as if it was not his own brother who died at all.

He is not numb and there is no way, in the past ten days, the broken army on the opposite side has relied on sharp artillery and specially "bullied" the Mongolian army. Originally, this fatigue tactic was the specialty of the Mongol army, and one of the secrets of using cavalry against infantry was to attack the infantry when they were not expecting it, and then quickly disengage when the infantry fought back. Hit when you want to, stop when you want to. In one day, tossing and turning several times, the infantry broke down, even if they were not crossed.

The current situation is just the opposite, and the Han army, the new annex army, and the Tanma Red army on the opposite side of the broken army with two wings do not fight, and specially fire artillery at the central Mongolian army camp. Although judging from the density of artillery fire, there are not many such long-range cannons in the Broken Army, but they can't withstand their endless bombardment. Often just after nightfall, the cannon fire began on the opposite side, and the projectile the size of the basin fell, and within three steps, there would definitely not be any living creatures left.

The Mongols came out of the camp to counterattack, unable to break through the opponent's trenches and deer barricades. Without fighting back, just as I was about to go to bed, the shells flew again. The whole camp was shocked overnight. The Mongolian soldiers who had been able to achieve great strength were sick one by one, and their faces were as colored as frost-beaten eggplants.

"Go down, and let the baggage camp prepare more wool and cotton, and stuff the ears of the brethren!" Da Chun waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to leave.

The soldiers said yes and walked out of their tents. Da Chun was the only one left in the empty tent, and his figure was reflected by the candle light on the tent wall, and he couldn't tell how lonely he was.

It was a matter of time before the defense line collapsed, and Da Chun knew this very well in his heart. Just seven days ago, a standard of broken captives came from Guangnan East Road, under the banner of the mountain brigade, crossed the Da Yu Ridge, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders of Nan'an to capture the three towns of Nan'an, Nankang and Shangyun. Dachun dispatched more than 10,000 new annexed troops from Jiangxi and Ji prefectures to conquer and suppress, but they were killed and defeated. According to the soldiers who escaped by luck, the people and horses of this mark are all She people, and they walk up the mountain road as if they are walking on the ground. In addition to the steel crossbow common to the Broken Army, there is also a long barrel that emits green smoke, which can put a large piece of people down when it sounds at a distance of hundreds of steps.

After this group of men and horses took the Nan'an army, they did not march to Ganzhou, but killed in the direction of Longquan and Yongxin, once they converged with the remnants of the bandits led by Lin Qi in Luoxiao Mountain, the connection between Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu South Road was in danger of being cut off. That also means that in case of the defeat of the Battle of Yanshan, the soldiers and horses of the Great Yuan can only rush north to Fu and Rao Erzhou to join the coward Lu Shikui, who should have been beheaded for public display a long time ago. A month ago, Da Chun had repeatedly visited Kublai Khan, wanting to get rid of him on the charge of fearing the enemy and fighting timidly and preserving his strength. Now that it is difficult to go to this person, it is inevitable that he will not be plotted.

Thinking about the surrounding situation, Da Chun's thinking gradually shifted to the overall situation of the Jiangnan battlefield. Fan Wenhu has been wiped out in Liangzhejiang, this is the news he got five days ago. If the Liangzhejiang Battlefield and the Liangjiang Battlefield are considered together, Da Chun relied on his intuition and keenly judged that Wen Tianxiang's purpose in the Jiangnan West Road Battlefield was not just to recapture this strategic place. The appetite of the Broken Army is very large, and it is extremely likely that they want to swallow the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Dayuan in one bite. However, the pride of the famous general and his confidence in the close combat ability of the Mongol army made Dachun reluctant to accept this inference.

"The soldiers and horses of the two rivers are combined, and there are more than 200,000. And the Broken Army is only 50,000 here at best, and with 50,000 people trying to encircle and annihilate 200,000, unless Wen Tianxiang is crazy! Da Chun comforted himself like this in his heart. But at the same time, I felt that the situation was out of control. It is a fact that the army did not advance quickly, had a strong dependence on the rear, and the soldiers did not have the physical strength of the Mongols. But when the Breakers defend cities, fortresses, and hills, their outstanding defensive capabilities are unmatched in the world. At this time last year, a battalion under Lin Qi's command entered Ninggang, and Da Chun remembered that he had sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to capture the city, but as a result, ten times the enemy's strength was entangled with the other party for two months, until the enemy ran out of ammunition and food, and then took Ninggang back. Even so, it still failed to stop the enemy soldiers from breaking out.

He pondered, hesitated, and his irritability slowly calmed down. The sound of the cannon outside gradually sounded less harsh, and the footsteps of the slave girl serving tea seemed to have changed in her ears, revealing the unique naughtiness of a girl in her hesitation.

The strong aroma of milk tea penetrates into Dachun's nose, which is an authentic grassland milk tea. Mixed with coarse tea bricks with milk and butter, the female slaves who grew up in Jiangnan couldn't make this taste. Dachun twitched his nose and turned around, just in time to see his daughter Tana's worried look.

"Dad, let's have a cup of milk tea! It's hot, drink tea to relieve the heat! Tana held the teacup up, learned the etiquette of Han hospitality, and held it up in front of Da Chun.

"Be careful, be careful, don't get burned. Our Mongolian milk tea can't be served like this! The last trace of trouble in Da Chun's heart also turned into pity for his daughter, and he shouted loudly while grabbing the teacup.

"It's okay, using a fine porcelain bowl to fill milk tea has a different artistic conception!" Tana put down the tray and smiled. The hazel milk tea with oil flowers in the snow-white porcelain bowl does look very different from the copper bowl. There is no inherent roughness on the grassland, but it presents a bit of Jiangnan elegance.

"You kid!" Da Chun couldn't help his daughter, so he reprimanded in a low voice. The unrest of the road allowed Tana to avoid the fate of being sent back to the capital, where she was supposed to be accompanied by the princess and effectively served as a hostage. But the experience of living in Jiangnan for many years has also made this originally wild Mongolian girl infected with the "vices" of many southerners.

Not only Tana, but almost all the Mongolian nobles, including Dachun himself. There is no resistance to the "vices" of the Han people in Jiangnan. They are infected with the extravagant habit of bathing every day, and they cannot sleep without washing themselves with water. They are contaminated with the wasteful way of eating vegetables and fresh fish instead of eating large pieces of meat. Some young people are even obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and often chant poems against each other, Gu Ying and self-pity, and they can no longer see the heroic spirit of the prairie boy.

"If this continues, we will be more like Han than Han Chinese!" One of Dachun's staff, the Jurchen Wanyan Taihe, once said so.

Regarding this point of view, Da Chun can only smile bitterly again and again. The Khitans were infected with the vices of the Han Chinese and were exterminated by the Jurchens. The Jurchens became more and more like the Han Chinese, dying in Mongolia. If the Mongols become Han Chinese, which other ethnic group is about to rise behind them? Da Chun didn't know the answer to all this, he only knew that the Mongols with noble blood, in front of the lowly southerners, were sometimes completely elementary school students, desperate to learn, desperate to lose themselves.

"What's wrong with me, isn't it good to drink tea in a fine porcelain bowl, at least it's not as heavy as a copper bowl!" Tana twisted her nose and argued.

"What about Lotus Ye, where did she go, asking you to make tea in the middle of the night?" Da Chun was not interested in arguing with his daughter about such a trivial matter, so he took a sip of milk tea and asked lovingly. The lotus leaf is the name of the slave girl, and the Mongols are reluctant to remember the real names of the captured slaves, so they often make do with an easy-to-remember title. Therefore, male slaves are usually called pillars and stones, and female slaves are mostly called peach blossoms, lotus leaves, horse lotus, etc.

"I asked her to add grass to Qingyuncong, and she made tea to make this taste. Daddy doesn't sleep, and neither can his daughter! Tana looked at Da Chun's red eyes, and replied with a little distress.

"I'm fine, I followed the Great Khan's Northern Expedition back then, and I was much more tired than this!" Da Chun smiled and comforted his daughter with some old things.

"But back then, the Great Khan had a lot of trust, and people were not tired at that time!" Tana reminded with a sigh.

"Yes, back then, I, Jiubadu, Shi Dalang, and Li Heng were regarded as the four dogs of the Great Khan, just like Genghis Khan's subordinates and Mu Huali!" Dachun put down his teacup and let out a long sigh.

Zhang Hongfan, the capital of Jiuba, died, and there is a rumor that he was poisoned by Kublai Khan. Shi Tianze's son Shi Ge also died, reportedly because he drank too much alcohol and fell off his horse and died. Li Heng had a slightly better ending and was assassinated by the Broken Army. The four heroes of the year were left alone, and suddenly remembered these old things, Da Chun felt so sad in his heart.

"I heard that General Bei pursued the enemy army in the Western Regions back then, and decisively withdrew due to the unknown situation of the enemy, and was once rewarded by Genghis Khan!" Tana poured herself a cup of milk tea, peeked at Da Chun, and said cautiously.

"What do you mean, daughter's family, don't get involved with men!" Da Chundeng's face changed and he scolded in a low voice.

"Dad, I don't command a war with you, but I can't watch you become an outcast of the Great Khan. Just like Jiubadu, he was killed in a daze! Tana put down the bowl and whispered in disgust.

"Nonsense. The Great Khan is as kind to me as a mountain, and the emperor's grace is mighty, even if I smear my liver and brain, it is difficult to repay it! Da Chun's eyes almost erupted with fire, and he scolded a few words. Strode to the entrance of the tent, lifted the curtain, and saw that the soldiers were standing twenty steps away, then he put his mind at ease, turned around, and ordered in a low voice: "Go back to sleep, you are not allowed to go out of the tent without my order!" ”

Tana has not been a person who can be wronged since she was a child, and when she saw her father treating her like this, she raised her neck and retorted unconvinced: "Since the Great Khan trusts you, what else are you looking around." My soldiers were ordered by me not to let anyone come near the tent. Tonight, don't be the commander of the army, be my father again, let me finish talking! Otherwise, even if you kill me, I won't be convinced! ”

"You wicked obstacle!" Da Chun scolded angrily, not realizing that what he said one after another was Han words. Lowering the curtain, he lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you learn so many bad hearts?" We Mongols are all servants of the Great Khan, even if we are given death by the Great Khan, we should not complain about the Great Khan! ”

This is what Da Chun said in his heart. From an early age, he was indoctrinated with this view. The prairie believes that the strong are respected, and those who are in the upper position have supreme power over the lower ones. Although there are constant internal strife within the Golden Family, most of the time, as a person of the Great Khan, he can send an envoy to bring back the heads of the generals who have tens of thousands of troops. And that military general knew that he would die, and he rarely resisted.

"I am who I am, not a slave to anyone. Neither are you. Dad, do you see clearly, the Great Khan has long distrusted you. Obviously let you pass through Jiangnan for him, but in fact, Lu Shikui and Fan Wenhu are unwilling to listen to your orders. Including Wu Zhong and Kong Wei, these little minions are so close to you, they refuse to send troops to help. If there is no one to support them, will they dare to do so? Tana's retort was low, but it slammed into Dachun's heart like a hammer.

He asked his daughter to go back to accompany the princess, knowing that the road was not smooth, so what could he say! He asked you to defend Jiangxi and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. But Lu Shikui retreated from Liangguang to Jiangxi, and ran to Jiangdong in a blink of an eye, how did he deal with it! Right now, let's stand up to tens of thousands of troops for him, what about his reinforcements, grain and grass? Why is it still missing! ”

"Nonsense, Lord Boyan has already arrived in Luzhou and is about to cross the river. Reinforcements will arrive soon. They are all our real Mongols, and they will definitely bring the situation back. Don't guess, I know the situation. If that's what you think, I'll do it accordingly! Da Chun heard the cold sweat on his forehead, and argued with his own strength.

There were some things he thought about, but forced himself not to believe. Now that she is listed and analyzed by her daughter one by one, the pressure on her heart in an instant can be imagined.

"Dad, don't be confused. Although Lord Boyan's soldiers and horses are strong, Luzhou is far away from here, and the Broken Army is not a fool, so I don't know how to resist along the river. If we talk about the water army, our Dayuan is far inferior to the Song people. Tana walked to the map and pointed to the location of the Yangtze River for analysis. And even if Lord Boyan can kill him on time, how many men and horses will you have left in your hands by then. What is the end of those who do not have soldiers and horses in their hands, I don't need to say it, you should know! ”

"You don't talk nonsense, as a father will never do anything to be sorry for the Great Khan!" Da Chun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the words he said were like pleading with his daughter, and seven were like being angry with himself.

Tana's last words happened to poke at the top of his heart. Before the current strength in his hands did not suffer huge losses, he took the initiative to disengage from the Broken Army, this plan was not unconsidered. But taking the initiative to abandon the defense line of Yanshan means that he Dachun has completely failed in Jiangxi. The pattern of warfare has changed, and the legend of holding off enemy forces for months or even years with a lonely city is a thing of the past. Abandoning the Yanshan defense line means abandoning the entire Jiangnan West Road. Such a miserable failure, Da Chun couldn't accept it.

He is a person who knows the soldiers, and from the perspective of the broken army, the two rivers are the places where the remnants of the Song Dynasty must fight. Jingchu is flat, and under the premise of not being sure of fighting with the cavalry on the plain, the Broken Army will not easily send troops to the north and south of Jinghu Lake. The two Zhejiang are low-lying, coupled with the weak folk customs, and it is not a place to defend. Only by taking the two rivers could the remnants of the Song Dynasty establish a relatively closed defensive line, so that the soldiers and civilians could have some time to rest.

Not only Dachun, even if Kublai Khan himself came and lost the infamy of Liangjiang, he couldn't bear it. That means that the Jiangnan strategy has completely failed for six consecutive years. It also means that the war between the Great Yuan and the remnant Song Dynasty has shifted from a strategic offensive to a strategic stalemate. It also means that Kublai Khan's ostentatious gambling book for seizing the throne has become a complete joke after the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, anyone who takes the initiative to give up Jiangnan West Road is a sinner of Dayuan through the ages. Even if he had a heavy army, Kublai Khan did not dare to condemn him for a while. In the future, it will also make him ruined. Unless, he really supports the army and respects himself, like Li Tan and today's Naiyan, using the net worth and life of his entire clan to gamble with Kublai Khan.

"You retreat, tomorrow I will send you across the river and go back to our department to get married!" Dachun stretched out his arms, grabbed his daughter's shoulders and shook them, his mouth letting out a low growl, like a beast in a trap. "I can't let you kill your whole people. You fell for the Han, no, the poison of the Chinese thief is too deep, you are crazy, I can't accompany you crazy! ”

Tana's face turned white with pain, and the pain in her shoulder was deeply intertwined with the pain in her heart. Once upon a time, her father in front of her was a hero in her mind. But now she understands that her father is not. Father's broad back is always bent in front of the Golden Family.

"If we retreat to Heungkook," she murmured. If you give up Ganzhou and take the initiative to withdraw to Xingguo and Jiangzhou before Lin Qi, Ximen Biao and the mountain brigade of the Broken Army converge at the moment, it may not be a good move. Not only can the fate of the whole army being surrounded, but the court can also use the excuse of "crossing the river in order to take the initiative to receive Boyan" to prevaricate. Strategically, this place can attack Jiangxi again, and retreat to Huainan. If you have soldiers in your hands, you are not afraid of the court condemning you. It's a big deal that when the battle situation is clear in the future, the father and daughter will sail out to sea to avoid trouble, which is better than suffering here.

"Don't say it again, leave tomorrow morning, and I'll send a thousand cavalry to see you off!" Da Chun pushed his daughter out of the tent with great force. Then, he blocked the door of the tent with his body, looked at the map on the wall, and muttered, "Lord Boyan will come in time, as long as he comes, the army will be completely destroyed." Lord Boyan will come, will definitely come......."

Can Lord Boyan really come in time? Da Chun had no answer in his heart. He saw a moth circling around the oil lamp, and he knew the danger ahead, but he still couldn't escape the temptation of the light.

Suddenly, the moth flapped its wings into the blazing flames.

Alcoholic's note: There is something tomorrow and cannot be updated. Saturday evening make-up submission.
