450. The Yuan army attacked and harassed
The sound of gold was crisp and loud, and it immediately resounded in the group.
The Shemin generals heard the sound of gold, so they had to lead the horse army to give up the pursuit and turn back. The iron cavalry of the Yuan army did not look back, and quickly walked away along the winding official road, leaving only yellow dust billowing away.
From the contact between the two armies to the separation, it only took more than ten minutes. The Great Camphor Creek still flows, but there are hundreds of corpses and wounded people lying on the ground.
"Military aircraft order, why did you order the withdrawal of troops?"
One of the She generals who returned to the army galloped to Wen Tianxiang and asked in Hokkien dialect.
Just now they grabbed the tail of the Yuan army, thinking that they could eat this Yuan army. Yes, the general's tone was very unpleasant.
Wen Tianxiang used to lead troops to resist the Yuan on Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road for many years, but he could barely understand it, and said with a smile indifferently: "The Yuan army just wants to consume our army's strength." ”
The general of Shemin is not a reckless man, hearing Wen Tianxiang's words, and then thinking back to the actions of the Yuan army just now, he was suddenly surprised.
He scratched his head, smiled apologetically at Wen Tianxiang twice, and then walked towards the army.
This is the Shemin generals, they are all very bold people, what they think in their hearts, what they say in their mouths, they know that they are wrong, and they are very happy to admit their mistakes.
Of course, Wen Tianxiang didn't take the attitude of the general just now, but shouted: "Clean up the battlefield and move on!" ”
"Clean up the battlefield and move on!"
Beside him, a herald galloped towards the right side of the army with a command flag.
Ren Wei looked at the departing Yuan army, continued the previous topic, and asked: "The military machine ordered you just said that the last general needs to contribute to crack the method of the Yuan army's attack and harassment, what should the last general do?" ”
Wen Tianxiang chuckled and said, "If you are a general, what will you do with the current situation?" ”
Ren Wei is quite similar to him, both are Confucian generals, but Ren Wei has a calm temperament and is in the prime of life, but Wen Tianxiang also has the intention of cultivating him.
Now most of the ministers in the Song Dynasty are old, although no one has mentioned this issue, but the entire court has begun to show a lack of success.
Yue Peng is brave and martial, and Su Quandang is good at planning, but they are still too young and inexperienced, and it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of commanding the whole army after all. They can be generals, but they can't be handsome.
Providence is unpredictable, Wen Tianxiang is also worried about when he may encounter accidents, because after he led Ren Wei to Fujian, he often mentioned Ren Wei, and he had the intention of training him as an overtime worker.
Ren Wei groaned slightly, and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to crack the method of the Yuan army's cavalry uproar. ”
Wen Tianxiang looked at him with a smile.
Ren Wei said: "The reflective shield invented by the emperor has now gradually become popular in the army, if it is used, it will definitely make the cavalry of the Yuan army return in vain, and it will not be able to rush to the front of our army at all." ”
"And what if it's night?"
"At night, thunder can be planted outside the camp, and the Yuan army will not be able to cause much trouble to our army."
"Nope."
Wen Tianxiang chuckled and shook his head, "The emperor once said to me, marching and fighting, in the final analysis, is just a technique to exchange the smallest number of troops for the maximum loss of the enemy's army. General Ren, you have a calm personality, which is a strength, but at the same time, it is also a disadvantage. Our use of reflective shields and thunderbolts is just to expose our details early, but it can't cause too much damage to the Yuan army, which is the next policy. ”
Ren Wei's expression moved slightly, "What does the military order mean?" ”
Wen Tianxiang said: "Since the Yuan army dares to attack and harass us, why can't we directly attack the Yellow Dragon?" ”
"The military order means that the last general will lead the Flying Army to attack Yongfu?" Ren Weiden will be willing.
Wen Tianxiang nodded, "That's right, if you lead the army to attack Yongfu, Yongfu will inevitably be in chaos." At that time, if the Yuan army that went out of the city to attack and harassed received the news, it was inevitable that they would also panic, and I would lead the army to take advantage of the situation to counterattack them. In this way, it may be possible to take the county seat of Vinh Phuc. Taking Yongfu, where our army has a foothold in Fuzhou, it will be much easier to win Minqing, which is personally seated. ”
Ren Wei's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said: "The last general understands, thank you for the teachings of the military order." ”
Wen Tianxiang shook his head, "This is not my teaching, if it weren't for the emperor's words to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage to let you go to attack Yongfu." ”
"Huh."
Ren Wei laughed out loud, "The emperor is really a genius, he is young, but he has such a thorough insight into the art of war. ”
Wen Tianxiang looked up at the sky, and muttered, "The emperor is the hope of my Great Song Dynasty, when the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, if there is no emperor like the emperor through the ages, he will really die......"
……
After a short time, the She soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, burned the corpses to ashes, and the army continued along the Dazhang River to Yongfu.
Until the evening, the Yuan army did not attack again.
Wen Tianxiang led the army to camp at the foot of the dog head mountain on the side of the Dazhang River dozens of kilometers away from the county seat of Yongfu, and the camp tent stood at the foot of the mountain.
A faint smoke rose from the cooking smoke, and the smell of rice soon wafted in the barracks.
Soldiers lined up to receive their meals.
After eating, the scouts rode around the barracks. Ren Wei went to Wen Tianxiang's tent to see Wen Tianxiang, and then left the camp with the Flying Army.
Nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Flying Army carried neatly stacked hot air balloons, as well as thunderstorms, dry food and other materials, and quickly marched on the steep mountain road of Goutou Mountain.
Originally, when fighting with the Dali Earthquake Army in Leizhou, the Flying Sky Army was less than 300 hot air balloons, and by the time Wen Tianxiang led the army to set off, the number had reached 400.
As the whole of Leizhou gradually came under the control of the Song court and flourished, military factories also took root in various places. The speed at which the Great Song Dynasty produced ordnance was no longer comparable to what it used to be.
By the time nearly 2,000 Flying Troops had climbed to the top of Dog's Head Mountain, the night had become completely dark.
Looking down from Doghead Mountain, you can only see torches swaying in the wind in the barracks.
Ren Wei led the flying soldiers to lie on the bare rocks on the top of Dog's Head Mountain.
There is a faint starlight in the sky.
Ren Wei was surrounded by a few friends who had known each other in the Beggar Gang before, and several of them recalled their previous days in the Beggar Gang, and they all felt like a dream.
They suffered from the war, thinking that they would be displaced with the beggars for the rest of their lives, but they did not expect that they would now become the famous flying army in the Great Song Army.
In the middle of the night, at the bottom of the mountain, scouts galloped back to the barracks.
Then there was a trumpet in the barracks.
The soldiers hurried out of the tents, and the soldiers in charge of the night vigil hurriedly ran to the horses outside the barracks and waited for them.
Torches spread everywhere.
The Yuan army really took advantage of the night to attack again.
After a while, the horse's hooves were heard outside the barracks.
The Yuan army galloped to the front of the barracks in the faint moonlight, but there were not many of them, probably only a thousand people.
Outside the camp, these thousands of iron horsemen saw that there were many torches in the Song army's barracks, but they didn't attack at all, and turned around and turned back directly outside the barracks.
This made the generals of She people so angry.
During the day, the soldiers traveled through mountains and rivers, and at night they were disturbed by these Yuan troops, and it was inevitable that an evil fire would rise from their hearts.
As soon as the Yuan army withdrew, Wen Tianxiang's tent became lively.
Several She generals came to his tent together, and as soon as someone entered the tent, they saw Wen Tianxiang sitting on a chair, and said angrily: "Military order, those damn Yuan troops are actually attacking again." If this continues, how will our brothers in the army rest? How to get there tomorrow? ”
If it were according to their temperament, I am afraid that they would have already led the soldiers to catch up at this time. However, before leaving, the elders of the various clans told them that they must obey the orders of the civil army.
"Calm down, generals."
Wen Tianxiang saw that these generals were angry, but there was a smile on his face, "You used to fight against the Yuan army, haven't you been used to this kind of harassment of happiness?" ”
The generals were slightly stunned, and then muttered dissatisfiedly, "Military Aircraft Order, you know that Happy is harassing our army, and you can still laugh?" ”
Wen Tianxiang said: "Then according to the generals' intentions, what should it be?" ”
A general said: "You can ambush the elite soldiers outside the camp, if the Yuan army dares to attack and disturb again, they will be killed!" ”
"How many elite soldiers are in ambush?" Wen Tianxiang asked again.
These words made several generals of Deshe people stunned and speechless.
Yes, the Yuan army attacked the camp this time only more than a thousand people, but who knows how many people they will attack the camp next time?
If there are fewer people in ambush, it is impossible to stop the strong Yuan army, and if there are too many people, the soldiers will not be able to rest, so it is better to let the Yuan army attack and disturb.
But if it goes on like this, it's not a matter after all.
The general who had just spoken looked at Wen Tianxiang and said, "Is there nothing you can do about the military plane?" We are all coarse people, we don't have bright brains, we all listen to you! ”
Wen Tianxiang smiled, "All the generals, go back to rest first, and then we will make arrangements tomorrow." ”
The generals of the Shemin people, you look at me, I look at you, and I want to say more, but Wen Tianxiang has already lowered his head to read his military book.
The crowd couldn't, so they had to quit the tent.
This is also Wen Tianxiang's high reputation among the people, if he is replaced by other generals of the Great Song Dynasty, these She generals are afraid that they will already flip the table at this time.
Gradually, the barracks became quiet again.
