Chapter 251: Negative Spirit
"Du Shuai has an overreputation, the subordinate Li Mu, the chief secretary of the Liang County Horse Supervisor, but he can't afford to be called a general."
The old man with white hair and beard in front of him is the famous anti-Mongolian general Du Gao in history, although he is sixty-five years old, he is still old and strong. In the face of the 200,000 Mongolian iron horsemen under the city, Du Gao's face was not shaken.
At this time, at the head of the city, in addition to the marshal Du Gao, there were four generals standing next to him, namely the commanders Lu Wende and Nie Bin, and the commanders Lu Wang and Wang Wei. These four people were directly subordinate troops of the Imperial Forest Army of the imperial court, and they received an urgent report that the Mongols wanted to attack Luzhou, so they brought 150,000 troops from the Beijing division and rushed to Luzhou to support.
Li Mu rode alone and was extremely powerful, but his identity was only a horse breeder in Liang County.
With such a talent, the imperial court treated it with a horse breeder, which was simply an insult to their martial artists.
Lu Wende, who has an irritable personality and is also from a civilian background, is a big old man on weekdays, sneers at the way of Confucius and Mencius, and only admires those heroes who dare to fight with the Mongols.
Yesterday, Li Mu rode a thousand, brave and invincible, and Lu Wende, who had a good impression, immediately said with admiration: "Brother Li, being too modest is hypocrisy. You have a gun and a horse, and you have turned the Tartar dog upside down, Lao Tzu, I just admire a fierce general like you. With your martial arts, brother, what's the big deal about calling the general, don't you say? ”
Don't look at Lu Wende's rudeness, he doesn't know a lot of big characters, but this product is famous for being able to fight.
Eight years ago, he joined the army and joined the Huaidong system under the account of Zhao Kui, and moved to the anti-Mongolian front line in Jianghuai, Hubei, Sichuan and other places, and fought countless battles large and small. However, it only took eight years, and he went from being a small soldier to no name. Jumped to the level of the current division commander.
Someone who can fight. The temper is not ordinarily big. Nie Bin, who was also in charge, didn't dare to touch his brows, let alone the two commanders of the regiment under him, Lu Wang and Wang Wei.
Looking at Nie Bin, Lu Wang and Wang Wei, they were smiling quite reluctantly under Lu Wende's forced gaze, Li Mu, who had something big in his heart, didn't have time to chat, and immediately blurted out: "Marshal, the generals have praised it."
Xiaguan, this time from Liang County to break out of the encirclement. I'm here to ask for help. The lonely city of Liang County was besieged by the Mongols, and the people and soldiers could only hold on, hoping that the commander could quickly send troops to save the soldiers and civilians of Liang County from fire and water. ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, Master Li, you saved my son's family on the way to the exam half a year ago, and the old man didn't thank you properly. Master Lee. Since you have come to Luzhou, it is better to let Shu'er take you around Luzhou City. How about enjoying the scenery of Luzhou, taking care of the injury by the way, and then making plans? ”
When is it, the Mongolian soldiers are coming to the city, Liang County is in danger, how can he Li Mu still be in the mood to travel!
I didn't know the plan of the handsome Du Gao, Li Mu, who didn't have time to think about it, his face sank, and he anxiously asked again: "Dashuai, Liang County is in danger, please send troops quickly." ”
"Lord Li, when to send troops and when to use them, this official has his own scheduling. Lord Li, the serious injury has not healed, Shu'er, take Lord Li back to the house to recuperate. Li Mu was anxious, his tone was inevitably stiff, and he seemed to be dissatisfied with Li Mu's attitude, Du Gao's face changed, and he instructed his eldest son Du Shu.
Seeing that the idol Li Mu seemed to want to say something more, Du Shu, who knew his father's temper, hurriedly pulled Li Mu's sleeve and explained in a kind whisper: "Brother Li, don't say it, no one can change what Daddy decides." ”
is really as Du Shu said, even if a person like Lu Wende is a bad person, anyone can disagree with it, but for Du Gao's decision, this guy is now the same as others, bowing his head and not speaking.
But Li Mu is no one else, let alone an obedient ancient, seeing that he can't seem to ask for reinforcements, Li Mu was also angry, and immediately broke free from Du Shu's obstruction, and asked loudly: "Dashuai, is Luzhou City going to see death and not save it?" The people of Liang County, aren't they the people of the Great Song Dynasty? Don't you here know what the Tartar dogs will do when the Mongols break through the city?
Although Liang County is small, there are still four or five thousand people of the Great Song Dynasty, do you want to watch these four or five thousand people die in the war? There are 200,000 defenders in Luzhou City, but they are passively defended like shrunken turtles, no wonder the Tartars keep us in captivity like pigs? Husband war, courage also! Without courage, what kind of battle is there to fight? It's better to go home and farm and sell sweet potatoes! ”
"Presumptuous! Li Mu, don't think that if you win the Mongols yesterday, you can show off your might. If you talk nonsense like this again, you won't be forgiven. Shu'er, take him down, keep him under strict guard, and don't let him come up to the city again. ”
Du Gao, the old man, does not eat oil and salt, soft and hard, even if Li Mu riskes death to admonish, he can't shake the old man's decision.
However, Li Mu was not willing to be trapped in Luzhou City, just as he was thinking about how to get out, a sentry who was observing the enemy's situation rushed in at this time, bowed to the ground and reported: "Commander, the Mongolian war general Alva, is scolding under the city again. ”
As soon as the voice of the newspaper colonel fell, Du Gao and the others at the head of the city were silent for a while. It's okay to rely on the solid city wall for passive defense, so that the Song people, who are generally weak, go out of the city and fight the Mongols alone, which is really difficult for them.
At this time, under the city of Luzhou, in front of the Mongolian army, a tall knight, wearing an iron helmet and face covered with armor, in addition to the eyes exposed, the whole body was wearing impermeable chain mail, and even the head of the war horse was covered with iron armor from the front hooves.
In addition to a longbow behind him, the spear in this knight's hand was actually four or five meters long, and the blade alone was about half a meter. The previous two Song generals hedged against this Mongolian general, but in just one round, they were skewered into a sugar gourd by the opponent's spear and people and horses.
The Mongolian generals were dressed strangely, and the two Song generals died inexplicably, and the Song army guards who watched the battle at the head of the city did not dare to speak out, for fear that the marshal Du Gao would be killed by name.
Even if a group of generals under his command were silent, in order not to let the morale of the city fall, Du Gao could only ask helplessly: "Who dares to fight?" ”
Hearing the words of the marshal Du Gao, all the generals in the city buried their heads down, and no one dared to say much, in case they were favored by Du Gao, they would say goodbye to a luxurious and comfortable life.
Father's inquiry, no one dared to agree, the young and vigorous Du Shu, not wanting to embarrass his father, actually stood up and said loudly: "Father, the child is willing to go!" ”
"Shaft, if you don't go back to manage the logistics, what are you going to do, can't you go to find death? Your martial arts are ordinary, how can you be that person's opponent, don't you go home and take care of the logistics. After asking for a long time, the eldest son was going to die, and Du Gao, who was distressed about his son's life, immediately lectured angrily.
It's just that the love of such a lesson made the young and vigorous Du Shu shout even more dissatisfied: "Logistics, logistics, I always take care of logistics every time I fight?" The Mongol is no big deal, see me go and clean him up. ”
Seeing Du Shu's resistance, the old man Du Gao was so angry that he coughed again and again.
Li Mu didn't want Du Shu to die in vain, so he grabbed Du Gao, stood up and asked for battle: "The Mongols are really nothing great, and there is no need for the young general to make a move, and the subordinate Li Mu is willing to go to war, kill the Tartar dog, and sacrifice it in front of the tent."
