Dead and Alive(4)

The remnants of the autumn sun will shine the last light on the head of Yong'an City, illuminating half of the wall and blood. The smoky city wall has been broken, but the battle flag on the tower is still stubbornly swaggering in the wind.

The word "broken" pierced the intruder's eyes like a needle.

Zhang Hongfan, Dachun, Biting Zhu, Nerha and other northern Yuansu will stand on the mound on the west side of Yong'an City, and take turns to observe the situation of Yong'an City with a clairvoyant eye captured in the Battle of Yashan. Although most of the people involved in the siege at this moment have been replaced by new annexes, there is no hope of taking Yong'an in a short period of time. But the generals were still struck by the bravery shown by the defenders.

Even Zhang Hongfan, who claimed to be the most familiar with the temperament of the southerners, could not connect the soldiers of the Broken Army defending the city with the soldiers of the new annexed army besieging the city. They are also fourth-class southerners, and the broken army defending the city is like a group of wounded leopards, although blood keeps dripping from the wounds, but every move is full of awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty. The new annex army besieging the city is like a group of vicious dogs that have lost their homes, roaring wildly, but the outstretched minions have no confidence.

"Alright, Mingjin collects his troops, and I'll attack here today!" Da Chun watched it for a while, felt frustrated, and gave the order to withdraw the troops on his own initiative.

Zhang Hongfan looked at Da Chun and did not speak. Through the barrel of the telescope, the dissatisfaction in his eyes was hidden.

The crisp sound of gongs sounded from the main formation of the Yuan army, and the besieging teams withdrew one after another, leaving corpses all over the ground.

Da Chun suddenly realized that he was overstepping his command, so he embarrassedly smiled, and whispered close to Zhang Hongfan's ear: "Anyway, Marshal Du only plans to feint, let's stop here today." If you go down further, I'm afraid that Wu will only embarrass the handsome! ”

"He originally came out to be embarrassed, Wu You, Lord Youcheng, don't you know that Wu You, in the words of the southerners, there is no one." Zhang Hongfan smiled, and followed Dachun's tone to damage the new annex army Wanhu Wu, who was responsible for the siege task, as if he didn't mind what Dachun did rashly.

"Ah, Wu has it, but he doesn't!" Several Mongolian and Han generals laughed together. Just now, everyone realized that Da Chun had overstepped his authority, lest the two handsome men would rise up and embarrass everyone. At this moment, seeing Zhang Hongfan lightly unveiled the topic, while admiring, he joked about the name of the new annex general.

"According to what Dashuai said, Wu has it, the three brothers of their Wu family are virtuous, talented, and useful, but they are bastard wastes with no taste, no knowledge, and no use!" The Mongolian captain bit the pillar and said with a laugh.

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and someone clutched his stomach and fell on his horse's back.

The three Wu brothers were all local celebrities in the Great Song Dynasty, and as soon as the Mongols went south, they organized men and horses to meet them to express their allegiance. has been living by patting sycophants for half his life, and it took more than ten years to get the position of 10,000 households under the new annexed army. This kind of person was not only scolded by the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but even his master looked down on him. As soon as the generals in the army had time, they used the three brothers as monkeys. But the three Wu brothers were not ashamed of this, but regarded being pointed out by Wanfu as a kind of courage and glory of "tens of millions of people will go to me".

Listening to everyone's unbridled laughter, Li Guida's face on the periphery of the team slowly became ugly, turned his horse's head sideways, and slowly moved into the distance.

As soon as he took a few steps, he heard Zhang Hongfan shouting from behind, "Guida, come here, see what it is!" ”

"Yes!" Li Guida replied in disdain and turned back his horse. Calling people by their first names instead of words, although it sounds intimate, is a very impolite behavior. Zhang Hongfan called him like this, which made him feel more and more uncomfortable in his heart.

Zhang Hongfan looked at Li Guida's expression, patted his head awkwardly, and said with a smile: "Hey, I'm a rough person, I have always forgotten to ask, what is General Li's expression?" ”

In this way, Li Guida felt that he was too stingy, smiled, and said: "The last general is appropriate." It is not necessary for the marshal to call the name of the last general! ”

"Fit, come and see what that string of flags on the city means!" Zhang Hongfan patted Li Guida on the shoulder and handed over the telescope himself.

This shot was handed over, and Li Guida's resentment was immediately dissipated. Cheng Cheng took the telescope with both hands and raised it to look at the head of Yong'an City.

Brushing the ground, a string of turquoise signal flags was pulled closer by the telescope. Three corner flags, one square, apparently just raised, continued to march towards the top of the flagpole with the sound of horns.

"Reinforcements came from the east, about 8,000 people, coming from Taishi Creek and entering the city from the water gate in the northeast!" Li Guida put down the binoculars and whispered back.

"How so?" Da Chun asked suspiciously. The Mongol army also had a similar way of transmitting orders with banners. But unlike the broken army on the opposite side, the meaning expressed is so clear, and even the number of people and directions are clear.

"The East is water, so it's turquoise." Li Guida learned all his life, and finally had a place to use it, facing the two coaches, he gushed endlessly, "Each pennant represents a thousand people, and the square flag represents five thousand, so it adds up to eight thousand people." The flag is inlaid with a gold rim, which means friendly forces, and if there is no gold rim, it means that the comer is not a friend or foe. First up, then down......."

In a moment, the entire set of flag language of the Broken Army was clearly explained by Li Guida. He had the intention to show off and told his experience of using the flag language in the army, "Use the flag during the day and the lights at night." Placed in a high place, supplemented by a telescope, a radius of several miles, the movement of the enemy and the enemy can be clear. If you put a few observation posts on the nearby peaks and the carvings in the city, and communicate with each other with flags, the military information from dozens of miles away can be transmitted to the commander's eyes in an instant! ”

"Ahh Zhang Hongfan and Da Chun let out an exclamation at the same time, and at the same time came to grab the telescope in Li Guida's hand. The two hands met, and each retracted again.

"Marshal Du, please!" Da Chun politely took a half step back and made a gesture of please.

"In this way, the last general is anxious, so he will sweep his eyes twice, and then discuss with Lord Zhongcheng!" Zhang Hongfan said politely, took the telescope from Li Guida's hand, and swept towards the hills outside. Under the sunset, the distant mountains are quiet, with a radius of dozens of miles, without any strange buildings.

Zhang Hongfan's heart in his throat fell back into his stomach, smiled, and passed the telescope to Dachun. Da Chun raised the binoculars, repeated Zhang Hongfan's movements, and passed the telescope to the other generals with a smile.

"The thief has always been unbelievable, so Zhang has to guard against it!" Zhang Hongfan shook his head, and said as if he was laughing at himself while riding his horse towards the camp.

"Yes, thief ......" Da Chun shook his head and made a pained expression, "God knows how this thief suddenly opened his mind and mastered such strange skills." ”

"It's not just the thief himself, even the generals under his command are like eating some kind of panacea, and in the blink of an eye, they have gained knowledge, and they have become famous generals from waste on paper!"

"Yes, I think that Li Xing was just a waste back then, but when he came to the command of the thief, he actually killed Fan Wenhu's army of more than 100,000 and fled. Yang Xiaorong was also like the Wu brothers back then, and was picked up by Wen Tianxiang once, and he actually used the army, and even the old man almost recruited him. That Xiao Mingzhe is even more amazing, the old man painstakingly set up a set for him, he stepped in with his front foot, and found that things were not good, and immediately broke his wrist, leaving more than a thousand people to deal with the old man, and escaped with a large group of people......" Da Chun shook his head and concluded unwillingly.

For two years, the Mongol army was still as brave as before, and the new annexed army was still as useless as before. But the broken army on the opposite side is getting stronger and stronger the more they fight, and the more they fight, not only are the ordinary soldiers more and more difficult to deal with, but the generals who lead the army have also grown rapidly. Experiencing the changes first-hand makes Dachun full of worries about the future.

"Even this General Li" Zhang Hongfan turned his head, his eyes swept to Li Guida, who was continuing to show off his knowledge of the flag among the Mongolian generals, and said to Da Chun in a low voice, "He is also a talent, and with time, he may not be able to become a tiger general under the command of Youcheng!" ”

"He has a firm grasp of battlefield opportunities, and his quick and ruthless shots are not limited by a tiger general. It's a pity that the utilitarian heart is too heavy, and he drills when he sees the benefits, and he doesn't take responsibility, so it's no wonder that the thief refuses to reuse him! Da Chun replied in a low voice. Using his talents to disdain others is the consistent attitude of the Mongols towards those who surrender, and no matter how hard Li Guida works hard, he can't change the image that has been fixed in Dachun's heart.

"Oh, what did he say about the battle in front of him?" Zhang Hongfan was obviously very interested in Li Guida, clamped the horse's belly, approached Dachun, and asked solemnly.

He was originally a descendant of those who surrendered, and he did not have so many prejudices against Li Guida. I also understand his eagerness to behave. Compared with his character, he is more concerned about Li Guida's consideration of the current battle situation. If it weren't for the fact that he was not subordinate to Da Chun, he would have ordered Li Guida to be transferred to his side a long time ago.

He said that the situation in front of him was a bit chaotic. Da Chun hesitated for a moment and continued, "It's just the opinion of some scholars who have raised the Broken Army too high, just talking, Marshal Du doesn't have to take him seriously. ”

"It's okay, after all, he has been mixed in the Broken Army, and he knows the details of the thief better than us!" Zhang Hongfan waved his hand and replied generously. secretly scolded Da Chun in his heart, such an important person put forward an opinion, but he didn't tell himself earlier.

He believes that General Lu can't stop Chen Hangyan. And although Chen Hangyan is a reckless man, he is a little quick-witted, and he may not be as we wish! Da Chun smiled and relayed Li Guida's suggestion to Zhang Hongfan.

This suggestion was made by Li Guida three days ago, when he saw that the Yuan army changed its main attack to a feint. At that time, Li Guida's original words were, "Zhang Dashuai's arrangement is too wishful thinking." But Da Chun thought it was a provocative word, so he deliberately suppressed this suggestion.

"...... this?" Zhang Hongfan's brows instantly twisted into a pimple, his face changed quickly, and his eyes widened and asked, "When did you say this?" ”

"Three days ago, what, did Marshal Du think there was anything wrong?" Da Chun was stunned and asked suspiciously. Lu Shikui and Zhang Hongfan's younger brother Zhang Hongzheng are all the way at this moment, with more than 100,000 horses. Although most of them were new annexes who ate and drank with them, there were no less than 50,000 elite soldiers in the team who could fight. With two famous generals and so many soldiers intercepting Chen Hangyan, who was born as a bandit, it was already a fuss in Da Chun's eyes. In his eyes, Zhang Hongfan was so flustered when he heard Li Guida's suggestion, obviously because he was too worried about his brother's safety and affected his judgment of the battle situation.

"Alas!" Zhang Hongfan slapped his thigh with his palm, wanting to express a few words of dissatisfaction, but he couldn't attack Da Chun. When he was unable to vent his anger, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a few scouts ran towards him with a messenger covered in blood.

Seeing Zhang Hongfan from afar, the letter on horseback shouted with all his strength, "Report, report to Marshal Du, General Lu and General Zhang were defeated by Chen Thief the day before yesterday and retreated to Longyan!" ”

"What?" Da Chun's eyes widened like cowbells, and he rushed over, lifting the messenger from the saddle, "Say it again, say it again!" ”

"General Lu and General Zhang were defeated by Chen Thief the day before yesterday and had to retreat to Longyan!" The messenger repeated weakly, tilted his head, and fainted.

"Fetch the mare's milk and feed him. Let the medical officer save this person from his senses no matter what. When I woke up, I took him to the tent and waited for me! No matter how good Zhang Hongfan's cultivation is, he can't hold back the anger in his heart at this moment, and after glaring at Da Chun fiercely, he commanded the scouts.

"Yes!" The scouts agreed, and quickly picked up the messenger and went to the medical officer.

Guilt, remorse, resentment, all kinds of feelings came to Dachun's heart at the same time. Look at the messenger who was covered in blood and was obviously intercepted and killed several times on the road, and then looked at Zhang Hongfan's back, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Someone, pass on the order of the general, all the generals of our department go to Zhang Dashuai's tent to stand by, ready to attack at any time!" ”

Hearing Da Chun's shout, Zhang Hongfan turned around and hugged his fists at Da Chun with an apologetic face. Just about to explain, Da Chun preemptively said: "The military situation is urgent, no details, Marshal Du, the last general will listen to you tonight!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Hongfan agreed, and walked towards the Chinese army side by side with Da Chun.

By the time the medical officer woke the messenger up and helped the Chinese army to sit down, it was already dark. Without waiting for the two marshals to ask, the tired messenger looked at Da Chun and reported with palpitations: "General Zhang sent three messengers before and after, but there was no response. Last night, he brought more than 20 brothers with him and rushed over overnight. As a result, they were intercepted and killed by the Rogues of the Broken Army on the way, and the brothers all died at the hands of the Rogues! If it hadn't been for our scouts......"

Zhang Hongfan waved his hand and motioned to the messenger to stop dwelling on the road. He had already asked the scouts about their encounter with the messenger, and had the military medic secretly examine his wounds. The military medical officer believes that the courier's body has several near-fatal wounds and cannot be faked. What he is eager to know now is what kind of strong enemy Zhang Hongzheng and Lu Shikui have encountered, and where Chen Hangyan is at present.

"The Breakers are strong in combat and have a large number of cavalry. He rode a tall horse, taller than the three hippos in our army. The messenger tried to convey as briefly as possible the reasons for the defeat summarized by Zhang Hongzheng and Lu Shikui. After taking a breath, he continued: "Chen Hangyan led his troops eastward two days ago, and he didn't know where to go after bypassing Guming Mountain......

Hearing this, Da Chun couldn't sit still any longer, and rushed to the map hanging on the side of the Chinese army's tent with an arrow step. This map presented by Li Gui Dajin shows in great detail the route of all the roads under Guming Mountain. At the southern foot of the mountain, there is an abandoned official road that faintly points to Anxi.

Zhang Hongfan asked a few more questions, and ordered someone to take the messenger to step down and continue to find a medical officer for treatment. Slowly walked in front of Taharu and looked at the map side by side with him. At this moment, it is no longer the time to complain to each other and shirk responsibility, if Chen Hangyan kills Anxi, it is possible that his next target will be Ali Hague and Arakhan's department. It is difficult to predict whether the forces in the hands of the two of them will be able to stop Chen Hangyan's aggressive attack.

"Just in case," Da Chun said as he turned his head sideways and looked into Zhang Hongfan's eyes. Regarding the combat effectiveness of Ali Hague and Arakhan's men, he thought he knew better. According to previous war examples, the Mongol and Tanma Red Army, which had such a large number of people, had never been defeated by Chen Hangyan again. However, the combat effectiveness of the Broken Army will change dramatically every once in a while, and he is no longer sure that with Ali Hague and Arakhan, he can ensure that his flank is foolproof.

"Two marshals, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate!" At the end of the procession of the generals, a voice sounded flatteringly.

"Huh?" Zhang Hongfan turned his head and saw that it was Li Guida who was speaking, beckoned to him, and ordered with a smile: "Come here and tell me what's wrong!" ”

"Yes!" Li Guida looked at Dachun and saw encouragement in the eyes of his master. Quickly walked to the map, pointed to the terrain around Quanzhou Mansion and said: "Since Chen Hangyan knew that Ali Hague and General Arakhan were there after a big battle, he dared to wave his tired army to meet him, I am afraid that he has nothing to fear!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Da Chun immediately asked. After a blow, he no longer dared to ignore Li Guida's advice.

"Look, big handsome, although there are mountains in Anxi and Qingyang, they are not high. Although the Chen army had cavalry, their number was far less than that of General Arakhan. With no danger to rely on, he rashly took Quanzhou, either because he was crazy and wanted to solve Yong'an's predicament by fighting hard with General Arakhan. Li Guida shook his head as he spoke, obviously not thinking that Chen Hangyan was killing Ben'anxi and Qingyang for this reason.

Seeing that Zhang Hongfan and Da Chun listened carefully, Li Guida was proud, walked to the table, picked up a brush, drew a circle in the area of Qingyang Village, and continued to analyze: "Or, he has strong reinforcements in the dark, and wants to swallow the soldiers and horses of General Arakhan and Ali Hague here, and force the two marshals to withdraw their troops!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers in the tent were in an uproar. Everyone is a veteran of the battlefield and knows what Li Guida's stroke represents. At present, Zhang Hongzheng and Lu Shikui's troops are disabled, and the plan to attack the city and send reinforcements has been miscalculated by half. If the soldiers and horses of Arakhan and Ali Hague make another mistake, not only will the offensive against Yong'an City not be sustainable, but the retreat of hundreds of thousands of troops will appear. Moreover, the army entered Fujian this time, and the slaughter was too heavy, and some people have already developed strange diseases one after another and have been blamed by heaven. If you really want to trap people, but you will be trapped by the enemy, everyone will die in the poor countryside and will not be able to return home.

"But where do the reinforcements come from, in all directions, are our scouts all eating dry food?" The commander of the Mongol army took a few steps forward, approached the map, and asked loudly. He couldn't accept Li Guida's calculations, and he couldn't accept it, hundreds of thousands of elites used Wen Tianxiang as bait to lure people into the urn, but they ended up with the assumption that others were trapped.

"At sea!" Li Guida glanced at the pillar and replied proudly. For a moment, he himself forgot what he was and which side he was helping.

"On the sea, which team?" Zhang Hongfan was even more surprised and asked loudly. Since he led the troops, more than 100 battles have been fought by land and people, and he has no concept of detours at sea. The most impressive time in my memory was in Yashan, when he saw that the Great Song Palace was about to begin, he was robbed by Miao Chun of Emperor Song from the sea.

Not only Zhang Hongfan was present, but all the Northern Yuan generals had no concept of the ocean, looking at the large blank space outside Quanzhou City, their minds were also as empty as the sea.

"If I were a thief, at this moment, I would transport all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized to Quanzhou by sea. At present, the north wind is gradually rising, even if the troops are transported from Liangzhejiang to Quanzhou, it will not take ten days! ”

"First bid!" Zhang Hongfan and Da Chun thought of the soldiers and horses that had stirred up the chaos between the two provinces at the same time. That is the elite of the elite of the Ministry of Culture, if the first standard goes to Quanzhou at this moment, then the current battle situation is in response to the classical strategy of the Han people, with me in the middle, under the enemy, above me, in the enemy among the other! Chen Hangyan and Zhang Hongzheng, Zhang Tang and Ali Hague, aren't they exactly the difference between the middle and the bottom, and the upper and middle horses?

But is Wen Tianxiang so clever in using soldiers? Unless he can deduce the whole battle situation in advance. If all this is just a coincidence, then the generals in the Broken Army are inevitably too bold and don't care about the safety of Wen Tianxiang, the governor of the capital.

"In this way, in General Li's opinion, how can this plan be broken?" Zhang Hongfan and Da Chun looked at each other and asked at the same time. At this moment, there is no time to think about whether all this is a trap arranged by Wen Tianxiang, if he thinks so, it will only make him even less confident in winning, and it will only make his own morale low.

What needs to be done now if you break the wishful thinking of the other party. It's like a good game of chess at the end, thinking about how to make a move, so that a piece can decide the winner.

"Rush to attack Yong'an, all the way to break, the road to break!" Li Guida put his five fingers together and made a gesture of clenching his fists and smashing them in a vain manner.

"Or a rush?" Captain Wan asked in astonishment, looked up at the two coaches, Da Chun and Zhang Hongfan, but saw that the two nodded at the same time and praised: "Good plan!" ”

"Ordered the three armies, after dinner, lay down in armor and prepare for the night battle. The archers of the whole army, whether it is the Mongol army, the Tanma Red Army or the Archery Department, are all concentrated under the command of the biting pillar and move forward! Zhang Hongfan took the lead, walked to the handsome case, and ordered loudly.

"Yes!" The generals of Mongolia, Han, and the Western Regions agreed at the same time.

Dachun nodded and held out three fingers. Zhang Hongfan and Da Chun met their eyes, and continued to order, "The second watch is the whole team, the third watch, out of the camp, within three days, the wool must be Daxu, **Yong'an City!" ”

"Yes!" The generals lifted their spirits, and the sound of their answers broke through the tent of the Chinese army and spread far away.
