Catastrophe VI
Robbery (6)
Two or three projectiles the size of a fist crept in and fell into the ranks of the marching army in smoke. In an instant, the team was in chaos, and the whole team came to a standstill.
More projectiles flew in and smashed into the densest places of the crowd. The soldiers around the projectile ran away with their heads in their hands, and no matter how the officer pressed it, he couldn't stop it.
"Don't panic, don't panic, get down, get on the ground!" Someone shouted in Chinese in the ranks.
Whether they can understand it or not, the soldiers of all ethnic groups are learning from each other, and they are lying on the ground neatly, which is neater than the wheat that has been cut.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Explosions rang out one after another, and columns of smoke rolled up into the air with broken limbs. The soldiers, who had not been injured by shrapnel, had their heads in the mud and their eyes closed. The body kept shrinking, expecting the nightmare scene to end quickly. Finally, the nostrils were no longer filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and the shouting and scolding of the centurion who led the team suppressed the ** of the wounded, and the soldiers got up in a daze, looked at the dirt road that would never end, and stood blankly in place, waiting for the next order.
"Is this my Dayuan elite?" Da Chun sighed sadly and raised the order flag in his hand. The herald next to him immediately blew the horn and gave the order to search and advance. Several groups of lightly armored soldiers rushed in the direction of the iron projectile attack, and behind them, strong archers held yellow birch bows more than four feet long, buckled their arrows, and alertly monitored every suspicious noise in the forest.
"Wow!" A frightened little beast staggered out of the grass and ran behind the distant hills. After only a few steps, dozens of feathered arrows flew at the same time, shooting it into a hedgehog.
The lightly armored soldier immediately fell to the ground, dodging the enemy's attack.
In the woods, the leaves of the trees hung by feathered arrows fluttered down. The omnipresent enemy forces did not appear, and the sunlight shone down from the lightened treetops, illuminating the nervous faces of the soldiers.
The centurion who led the group pouted, and a party soldier jumped up to pick up the beast that had been shot. He hadn't gone far when he suddenly tripped over something, and the soldier hurriedly lowered his head, and a thin rope quickly burrowed into the depths of the grass. At the same time, in mid-air, a bamboo row full of bamboo nails smashed down, shooting him far away.
"Ahh The short screams were scalp-blasting, and blood fell from the air, splashing his companion's face. The centurion looked up sadly and indignantly to see the bamboo rafts under the action of inertia, swaying back and forth in mid-air, making a tooth-aching sound every time they went back and forth. And the sharp nails of the bamboo have been dyed red, which is the flesh and blood of his soldiers.
"Rush me!" The centurion shouted desperately and rushed forward brandishing his scimitar. After stepping over three traps and stepping on two traps, the remaining soldiers reached their destination.
Except for a used fire fold and a few crooked bamboo poles, there was nothing to the destination. The enemy, like dew on the tip of a grass, evaporated in the sun. No one knows where they dissolved.
South, north, west, east, sneak attacks wave after wave. The marching speed of the Yuan army was dragged like a snail, and it didn't go ten miles in the morning. Da Chun waved the flag angrily, organizing counterattacks again and again, and each time the harvest was almost the same, a pile of bamboos bundled into strange shapes.
"Biography, no, please General Li Guida, ask what is going on!" Da Chun finally couldn't bear it anymore, pulled down his son, and asked his subordinates for advice.
Li Guida, who had just been promoted to the new attached army for a few days, hurried back to the Chinese army from the front, looked at the bamboo under Dachun's feet, bent over, fiddled a few times, and said: "Yu Dashuai, this is a bullet holding device, and the purpose of the broken army is to harass and delay the advance of our army." The last general, please ignore it! ”
"Bullet holder?" Da Chun was stunned for a moment, and didn't listen to Li Guida's words.
Li Guida, who was bent on making meritorious contributions, suppressed his disappointment and further explained: "It's just a thing that throws projectiles, similar to Dashuai's trebuchet, you see, it's .......just like that," he said, and he put several bamboo poles together and hung a fist-sized stone. Then activate the trap and shoot the rocks out.
The stone flew easily over the crowd and landed more than two hundred paces away. The soldiers nearby were frightened into another commotion, and it was not until the leading officer pulled out his steel knife that it calmed down.
"How can such a bullet holder be equipped in the Broken Army?" Da Chun asked, looking in the direction where the stone had landed. If it was a stone flying two hundred steps away, no one cared. But a grenade flew 200 steps away, and no matter how bold the Mongol soldiers were, they couldn't remain indifferent in the face of death.
"Marshal, the Broken Army only taught the soldiers how to make these things, and they were not equipped. This thing can be made with bamboo and straw rope, and the bamboo around here is all over the mountains......" Li Guida explained with a smile and a cry, secretly crying in his heart that he was unlucky, how could he meet such a boss who has no common sense. It wasn't until he saw that Da Chun's face had changed that he hurriedly closed his mouth. Only then did he suddenly realize that at this moment, he was already a new attached army, and he was no longer the leader of the Broken Army.
In the Breaker Army, it is common knowledge to make and use simple ammunition handlers. In the Yuan army, these common senses are secrets.
The feeling of powerlessness surged into Li Guida's heart, and in an instant, he regretted a little, regretting that he had chosen to surrender to Beiyuan on impulse. Soon, regret was replaced by endless irritation and resentment. 'It's all Wen Tianxiang, this thief, if it weren't for this thief despising me so much, if it weren't for this thief repeatedly insulting Sven, how could I be like this! He hated and scolded in his heart, and an ambiguous smile appeared on his face, "The handsome, the last general, the last general ....... lost his words for a while."
"Forget it, you go down and lead the army!" Da Chun waved generously and asked Li Guida to go away. He was very familiar with the changing expression of the person in front of him in an instant, and many scholars who took refuge in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, when they mentioned the old Song Dynasty, they were all this kind of unmet and unfair treatment. really let them show some talent, but they didn't show it, and they still spoke up, as if everyone in the world was blind and couldn't see his piece of jade.
It's a pity that in the Song army, there are fewer and fewer such people. Looking at the green eyes in front of him, Da Chun thought gloomily. It has been seven days since Li Guida surrendered, and he could have seized this opportunity to rush into Nanjianzhou and choke the heart of the Broken Army. Who would have expected that in the past seven days, the army had not even arrived at Yong'an, and the road of more than 300 miles seemed to be infinitely extended, and the team would never be able to walk out of the green sea in front of them.
Thinking about the achievements in the past two months, Dachun himself felt inexplicable. The army was first in Shanghang, but was blocked by a bandit-born general of the Broken Army, and attacked for more than 40 days in a row, but did not break through the Jinjiang defense line. With the mood to try it out, I went around to attack Yongding, who would have expected that Li Guida, the general of Yongding, would actually put a good city and not defend it, learn from the famous generals of the ancients, and play what to attack the camp in the middle of the night.
On the eve of seven days ago, Li Guida came to rob Dachun's camp, but was besieged by Dachun with heavy troops and forced to land. After that, under the guidance of Li Guida, the Yuan army was able to conquer Yongding, Tonggu and Longyan within four days, and the momentum was like a bamboo.
Knowing that the flank was lost, Tao Laomo, the general of Shanghang, was forced to abandon the Jinjiang defense line and retreat to Liancheng.
Just when Da Chun wanted to rush before Zhang Hongfan arrived with the army and make another miraculous feat, an unexpected person appeared. Yang Xiaorong, the commander of the sixth standard of the Broken Army, came up with 8,000 soldiers and horses. With 60,000 against 8,000, Da Chun thought he had a chance of winning. Who would have expected that Yang Xiaorong was "as timid as a mouse" and did not engage the Yuan army at all.
Song general Yang Xiaorong was a thousand households under the command of Page Mishi. And now, this man has become his own adversary. As soon as Da Chun thought of this, his anger rushed straight to the top door. At that time, this person had no ability except for a good fart. Now, this person's ability to use troops has not improved much, but his proficiency has far exceeded that of the year.
Harassment, sneak attack, detour, escape, blockade, give up. Take a bite while the Yuan army is not paying attention, and then take advantage of the familiar terrain to quickly escape. The fighting methods of the rogues were fully learned by Yang Xiaorong.
Turning over and over, Yang Xiaorong made this move. It's just that Dachun can't do this kind of rogue tactics. From the analysis of several skirmishes, the damned Yang Xiaorong at least divided the deployment into more than 30 teams, and the purpose of each team was one, delaying the fighters. Those soldiers with extremely quick hands and feet hid in the woods and threw grenades at the Yuan army. If the Yuan army stopped and sent a large group of men and horses to counterattack, they quickly escaped through the dense forest, allowing the counterattackers to pounce. If the Yuan army ignored it, they looked for an opportunity to suddenly rush into the weak points of the Yuan army or the baggage ranks, burn them, and then quickly withdraw. If the Yuan army divided their forces and advanced, they would build improvised walls with bamboo and stones on the road to carry out lethal resistance.
The kind of shabby walled wall could not resist the army's more than three charges. But Yang Xiaorong's subordinates were as courageless as him, and always used the walled wall to block one or two attacks by the Yuan army. By the time Dachun had organized the third wave of the attack, the people behind the wall had long since disappeared.
Dachun camped, Yang Xiaorong sent people to rob the camp, but he refused to even enter the camp gate, fired rockets from afar, and threw grenades.
Da Chun deliberately left a gap between the Chinese army and the baggage team, arranged a trap, and waited for Yang Xiaorong to come and rob the grain. As a result, the Song army was still the same old-fashioned, running dozens of people, throwing a few grenades, and withdrawing with a small fire, not wanting to fight at all. made the Yuan army guarding outside the trap jump in a hurry.
After three days and three nights, the total march of the Yuan army was less than 150 miles. Wiped out more than 200 captives, but he suffered ten times the loss. Not to mention the countless destruction of grain and grass, the soldiers were also extremely tired. Therefore, Li Guida's suggestion to move forward lightly did not work at all, and with the current state of the team, it happened to be to send him to death. If another army of sprawling troops lays an ambush in front of them, the 60,000-strong army will face the risk of total annihilation.
Moreover, Fujian at this time is not as good as it was back then. Back then, Da Chun led the people and horses to pass by several times, all of which were on the road. The remnants of the Song Dynasty did not dare to flee or resist. When encountering the Mongol army, they will obediently contribute their livestock and seeds that they are reluctant to eat as military rations. And now the Fujian people have been corrupted by the army and become Diao people. Before the army could reach his doorstep, the village would be ablaze. The people burned their houses, hid their food, and drove away their livestock. Even wells are filled with stones and dirt. Those animals that were too late or did not have the strength to take them away were killed and thrown into the mud paddles. In such a hot weather, by the time the army found the livestock, the meat would have already stinked and could not be smelled.
So Da Chun can only take it step by step, and can only suppress the boredom in his heart and deal with Yang Xiaorong. He didn't want to think about the suggestion of a surprise win at all. The only hope is that Zhang Hongfan's soldiers and horses will come as soon as possible and completely crush the broken army by virtue of the superiority in the number of troops.
The front army heard another explosion, and the team had to stop again. Dachun raised the signal flag again, and hundreds of strong archers and two teams of Tanma Red Army rushed into the dense forest. In the rear team, there were also bursts of shouts to kill, Da Chun sighed, the voice of the command was indescribably tired, and the two teams of light cavalry rushed in the direction of the baggage battalion.
The explosion sounded again, and Dachun sent troops to counterattack again. The horn sounded again, and the cavalry rushed to the rescue.
Explosion, horn, horn, explosion. Day and night, just like the heavy rain in Fujian summer, you can't tell when it will start and when it will end.
Da Chun was tired and handed the signal flag to his own soldiers. He only cares about giving orders, and no longer raises signals himself.
The new annexed army was tired, the Tanma Red army was tired of it, and the Mongol army was slack. Everyone seems to be in Ganzhou City, watching that kind of boring excerpts, every day is like these few words, no pain, no urgency, no hurry.
Da Chun sat on his horse, tired and coping. I don't think about when Yong'an City will be able to arrive, anyway, no matter how slow the march is, I can kill Yongding City in ten days. After occupying this city, it can be slowly repaired and wait for Zhang Hongfan to come to converge.
Suddenly, his eyelids jumped, and an ominous feeling welled up in his heart.
This feeling of exhaustion is very familiar to him, and it is this tactic to watch the Great Khan's dog team chase and kill lone wolves on the grassland back then. A hound ran up, took a bite, and walked away. The other one goes up again, bites again, and goes again. Then the third, and then the fourth, when the lone wolf was exhausted by the bitten by the hounds, the hound, which suddenly rushed up, finally showed its fangs......
The strength of the wolf and the dog is about the same, and they fight alone, and they can't tell the winner in half an hour. But that sudden blow ended the whole battle in an instant, and the lone wolf fell in a pool of blood, dying, not knowing why he had become so vulnerable.
Da Chun suddenly came to his senses, stretched out his arms, and snatched the command flag from the herald's hand.
"Dashuai!" The herald paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly.
"Order the whole army to stop advancing and camp on the spot!" Da Chun shouted while holding the Ling Banner high. The horn of the herald whined, and before it could be blown a second time, suddenly, there was a great confusion on the flanks. There are pole battle flags, which are picked out from the high bamboo forest.
More than 3,000 soldiers of the Broken Army crashed straight into Dachun's Chinese army, and as the first general, they rode a large war horse, and the horse's back was full of short crossbows. After shooting one, take off another.
Several Mongolian households were caught off guard and were shot dead by him on the spot.
"Yang!" On the fluttering battle flag, the Chinese characters of Dou Da caught Dachun's eyes.
"Yang Xiaorong!" The eyes of several Mongol generals widened in disbelief. In their field of vision, the waste of the year was like being reborn, rushing to the front of the team, as if they didn't know what fear was like.
Suddenly attacked in a state of exhaustion, even the most elite Mongol troops were stunned and forgot to react appropriately. Yang Xiaorong took the captured sergeants, cut through the periphery of the Yuan army like a knife, and pierced towards the center of the team.
A dense stream of crossbow arrows shot out from the captives, knocking down the nearby Yuan soldiers. Outside the crossbow archers, the soldiers of the Broken Army in light armor wielded the Broken Blade, slashing the Yuan army that dared to rush forward in two.
With no thickness, the bravery of the guards around the Great Khan is nothing more than that. Da Chun watched in amazement as the Breaker Army soldiers broke through the hastily organized defense line and approached quickly.
In all directions, the sound of the trumpet was like thunder. Groups of Mongolian warriors pounced on them with a sense of death, and groups of Mongolian warriors fell in pools of blood.
"Cavalry, cavalry, cavalry to rush!" Da Chun waved the order flag and shouted loudly.
A large number of Mongol cavalry rushed over, but they were blocked by their own men. In the broken army, someone waved his hand, and hundreds of ignited grenades were thrown at the densest place of the Yuan army.
"Boom--" It seemed that there was only one sound, and it was an extremely long one. After the sound, a row of craters appeared on the grass, and around the craters, the corpses of the Yuan army were lying around.
"Whoosh--" Another hundred and ten grenades, and the Yuan army that rushed forward suddenly stopped and tried to retreat, but was blocked by the companions who rushed up. Watch as the grenade smokes and rolls under your feet.
"Boom!" The grenade exploded, sending a cloud of blood mist.
"Strong bow, strong archer!" Da Chun shouted angrily. Whether it is the command ability of the generals or the real strength of the troops, the Yuan army is far higher than the Song army in front of them, but I didn't expect a generation of famous generals to catch the nobodies off guard.
The cavalry could not rush and retreated to the periphery on horseback. The strong archers rushed up and fired their arrows into the sky.
"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh" It seemed that it was raining heavily, and the soldiers around Yang Xiaorong fell in large numbers, regardless of whether they were enemies or me. The living Breakers raised their swords and lunged at the archers.
"Keep up!" Yang Xiaorong, the commander of the sixth standard, waved the command flag, and the herald shot several rockets into the sky.
"Huh-" The rocket dragged its bright flame tail and screeched as it fell from the sky.
Seeing the signal, the red-eyed red-eyed sergeant retracted his steps, raised his shield and head under the command of the junior officer, and ran back to the ranks. The whole team gathered into a knife and stabbed in front of Dachun.
Arrows rained down, and the broken sergeants continued to fall while running.
The sound of grenades exploded endlessly, and there were constantly wounded broken sergeants, lit the grenades, and rushed into the densest place of the Yuan army.
Da Chun was embraced by the guards and couldn't help retreating.
The strong archers were all frozen, unable to aim accurately in the melee, and if they continued to diffuse indiscriminately, at such a close distance, it was possible that Da Chun and his opponent would be killed in the next wave of shots.
The rain of arrows stopped.
Yang Xiaorong collected the crossbow, rode the horse, slashed the knife, and hacked to death the flag officer of Da Chun with one sword, and took the handsome flag of the Yuan army.
In an instant, the shouts of killing stopped. Tens of thousands of troops widened their eyes in disbelief as they watched the wool daku, which represented the undefeated glory of the Mongols, flying in half a circle in mid-air, and fell into the fire.
The remaining soldiers suddenly turned around, slashed out from the weakest point of the Yuan army, and quickly ran into the distance.
"Breaking the Army, Yang", the battle flag fluttered in the wind, and gradually disappeared into the distant world. Da Chun held the Ling Qi and suddenly felt chills all over his body. He didn't know whether to send light cavalry to chase after him, although with the speed of his opponent, the light cavalry could catch up in a moment.
On the hillside, the soldiers of the broken army who were in charge of the broken army slowly retreated, facing tens of thousands of troops without fear.
"Is this still a Song person?" Da Chun couldn't believe it. I remember that back then, with a few thousand soldiers, he could chase tens of thousands of Song troops out of hundreds of miles like sheep.
This person is not Yang Xiaorong he knows, and Fujian is not the Fujian he is familiar with. The entire Great Song Dynasty and the entire South have changed.
A "boom" explosion came from a distance, and several Yuan soldiers and a wounded broken sergeant turned into ashes at the same time.
