Chapter 134: Facing the Enemy

As elsewhere, the Tanzhou camp was located on the Xiangshui side, which was to facilitate the collection of water and food, and on a daily basis, the sergeants would begin their morning exercises against the rising sun and the river breeze, and those neat and uniform military formations, strengthened day after day, had penetrated into their memories, becoming mechanical and accurate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is a forbidden army of up to 5,000 people, all from the Jiangxi Road across the road, the reason why the cardinal government will allow them to transfer the whole army, in order to strengthen the defense of Jinghu line, because of Li Fu's departure, the garrison of this road has been extremely empty, this is a violation of the convention, but it is also a last resort.

On the bank of the river not far from the camp gate, a war horse lowered its head to draw water by the river, and a man leaned on the big stone on the side, dressed in armor, and his helmet was placed on the pebble beach at his feet, he held a long blade, dipped it in the river water, and then began to sharpen it on the edge of the stone, and the iron and stone intersected and rubbed out a spark of "swish", the same knife, there was also a knife on the stone, the blade was half from the sheath, and it seemed to be waiting for the call of the master.

After grinding for a while, the man took the knife in his hand, looked at the edge of the edge to the sky, showed a satisfied look on his face, and then thought of something, his eyes became grim, and he seemed to be a little confused.

"Although the steel knife is sharp, it is difficult to cut the unrighteous."

A voice came from behind, the man turned his head, and a young man in a long robe stood not far from him, no one followed behind him, and he was not riding a horse, no wonder he couldn't hear any movement at all, his face froze, he put the long blade in his hand back into the sheath, leaned down and washed his hands in the river water, before standing up and walking towards the other party.

"I don't know what Mr. ...... is" Because he didn't know the origin of the other party, although his words were polite, he didn't salute.

"Before you answer the words of the capital, can you ask about it?"

"Do you know Mi?" The man's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were obviously a little more vigilant: "Say, what are you looking for?" ”

Liu Yu put his hands behind his back, didn't feel embarrassed at all, and looked at the man before he spoke: "A certain and Dutong are first acquaintances, but they have been famous for a long time, and I want to ask Du Tongyi, why don't you abandon the city with Huang and run away?" As far as I know, neither you nor your men are locals. ”

"You're right, the commander invited a certain person out of the city yesterday, but was rejected by a certain person." The man's face was gloomy: "Escape? Where to flee, can you abandon Tanzhou today, and Jinghu, Jiangxi, Liangzhejiang, and Beijing tomorrow? You are right, these people are not locals, but now that they have been transferred here, they have no intention of leaving, and as for where they died, they are all the land of the Great Song Dynasty, so what is the difference. ”

After speaking, his expression became cold, and his gaze pierced the other party: "If you come from the north, you don't need to talk nonsense, tell those people who sent you here, you, wait with the army, and you will be in this city." ”

The man was Tanzhou Dutong Miyou, who went to work with the commander Huang Wanshi, Liu Yu looked at the other party's eyes that became a little unkind, stood quietly for a while, took out a thing from the sleeve, and threw it over a few steps away.

Mi You subconsciously took it with his hand, and the place where he started was a little heavy, the thing was not big, square, the whole body was yellow and clear, there was a tiger head button on his head, and there were a few small seal characters engraved at the bottom, and he didn't need to look at him to know the meaning of those words...... Jinghu South Road appeases the envoy!

"You ......" Mi You's color changed suddenly, and the halberd pointed at Liu Yu and exclaimed: "What's wrong with you guys?" ”

"Huang Wanshi, as a minister, abandoned the people and fled alone, according to the system, he has been detained, and after the Ming canon is punished, he will be handed over to the imperial court for disposal, and now there is no handsome in Jingnan, you can take this position." Liu Yu pointed to Tanzhou City behind him: "Now that the Tartars have occupied Yuezhou, and the south is just around the corner, what you have to do is to hurry up and ......."

Before Liu Yu finished speaking, a thing on his waist suddenly made a "beep" sound, he took it out and pressed the answer button, and when he heard it in his ear, his face changed suddenly.

"The Tartar striker is close to Xiangyin, the magistrate of the city has opened the door and surrendered, Mi Dutong, immediately let your people take over the city defense, be fast!"

Mi You didn't say a word, turned around and went to the river to pick up his helmet and saber, although he still had a doubt, but obviously, if it was the meticulous work of the Yuan people, it would never be possible to remind him to be on guard, not to mention that the other party was just a literati, and he followed his side, with this doubt, one of the two ran in the direction of the barracks, and the other ran towards the city gate.

Xiangyin County is only less than one hundred and fifty miles away from Changsha County, where Tanzhou Prefecture is located, even if it goes down the Xiangshui River, it will only take two days at most, the Yuan people came so quickly, it was not expected by everyone, through the spies left by Li Shiyi, Liu Yu knew that it was just their forward, even if it was a striker, there were more than 30,000 people.

Qiaokou Town is located on the edge of Xiangshui, almost the same distance from Xiangyin County and Tanzhou, because of the imminent military disaster, most of the people have fled, or went to the countryside for refuge, or in the direction of Tanzhou City, at this time the town seems empty, and there is no one in sight.

A group of more than ten cavalry people galloped quickly from the official road leading to Xiangyin, the sound of horses' hooves on the bluestone paved streets, making a loud sound, looking at the dilapidated scene in front of them, a Mongol led by a frown, restrained his horse in front of a tea shop.

"You, go and see if there are any others, a few of you, find some fodder, and the rest, get off your horse and rest." He looked up at the sky and seemed to think of an appropriate word: "A moment." ”

On a roof in the town, Shi Zhong was lying there, counting the number of people in the camera without blinking, this group of scouts was obviously the sentinel of the Yuanren's forward, and they had traveled more than seventy miles, not only bold, but simply unsightly.

But fifteen men, who had been through several great battles, were not afraid in the slightest, and of these men four were searching from house to house, and three did not know what they were looking for, and the rest dismounted, went into a tea shop, found the water and the stove left by their master, and talked and laughed loudly around a table in a language he did not understand.

Except for those who stayed in Tanzhou City, there were about a hundred people who could be dispatched by him at this moment, all of them were like him, lying on the roofs everywhere, most of these people were Li Shiyi's subordinates, but as soon as he looked at their frames, Shi Zhong knew that they were all veterans, so he had a plan at once, and the only thing that was a little hesitant was whether to leave those horses behind.

"In a group of five, listen to the order of so-and-so, work together, solve the town first, and be careful not to make too much movement."

After speaking, he untied a crossbow from behind him, gently broke the crossbow machine, took out a black crossbow arrow from the leather bag on his waist, buckled it, and then turned sideways, raised the winding crossbow body, and aimed at the figure led in the distance.

With a bang, a Mongolian cavalryman rode his horse straight to a wooden door, and the heavy hooves of the horse smashed open the door and frame, and the smoke and dust that stirred up fell on his face.

He cursed something in Mongolian, and drove his horse into the house, which was not high, and the cavalry helmet on which he sat almost touched the roof, and he walked around the house for a while, and saw that there was no sign of a human figure, and he was about to turn his horse's head and go out, when suddenly a black shadow fell from the sky and pounced on him.

When "Bang" was held and rolled to the ground, the cavalry subconsciously wanted to draw the knife, but his chest was cold, and a clump of blood splashed in front of his eyes, and then a huge pain struck, and then again, the cavalryman's consciousness gradually began to blur, and his hands and feet seemed to leave his body, and he could no longer listen to the call.

"Do it!"

Shi Zhong let out a low shout, the crossbow machine in his hand was let go by him, and the crossbow arrow from the string drew a straight black line in the air, and flew towards the figure in his eyes with a burst of trilling.

The quiet town suddenly became lively, and several of the Mongols in the tea shop fell in an instant, and the one at the head drew his sword and rushed towards his war horse with a shout, and before the second round of crossbow arrows came, he turned over on his horse's back, and galloped without raising his head, and galloped towards the way he came.

"It's a pity." Shi Zhong shook his head and stood up from the roof, the battle took less than half a moment, the people in the town had been dealt with, there were several corpses lying in the tea shop, each with several crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies, the only one who escaped was obviously not hit, but he didn't plan to chase it.

"Cut off the head, take the horse, and let's go."

Since someone has fled back, they must not be able to stay here any longer, and the next time the Yuan people come back, they will not be the only people with this idea, they are spies, and they don't need to fight the enemy.

With horsepower, the Mongolian cavalry led by him also ran on the official road, and he didn't dare to look back, until he ran for almost two miles, and did not hear the pursuers behind, he had time to look down at the injuries on his body, the arrow was almost inserted in his chest, fortunately, there was an armor block, and the flesh was not deep, but the pain and blood loss made him feel weak, no one thought that in an inconspicuous town, there would be so many Song people, you know, this road encountered several cities in a row without a fight, The smooth progress of the war more or less made them relax their vigilance, and they were hit like this.

Now he was the only one left, and he had to live to get the news back anyway, and the unique tenacity of the scout made him endure the pain, and the sudden blow made him dare not take any chances, except to whip the horse under his crotch desperately and flee as soon as possible.

"Phew!"

On the official road in front, a large red shadow suddenly appeared, like a wall blocking there, he suddenly raised his head, his mouth was long, the horse raised its front hooves high, and almost lifted the person off the horse's back, if it wasn't for this stop, he almost even the people and horses were about to crash into it, but when he stopped, he found that what he saw in front of him was not a phantom, but a large group of people and horses of the Song people, not only people, but horses.

The red cloud in front of him was like the fire of hell, which made his heart sink to the bottom all of a sudden, and he just watched the other party press over in a demented manner, with no life in his eyes, not even fear, only deep despair.

It was the cavalry of the Song people, a cavalry army of up to thousands!
