972. Resolutely stayed
Gao Tianzong looked back at the soldiers and said, "Brothers, we are all soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. I think everyone has been mentally prepared for the horse leather shroud, only we are going, maybe there is not even a horse leather for the shroud. Although I am a general, I don't want to force you to go with me to the battle, I just ask if there is anyone who wants to leave now? I'll let you go. ”
No one in the army spoke.
Gao Tianzong smiled slightly, but said, "You don't need to be like this, it's good to leave a few seedlings for our regiments." ”
It's just that there is still no one in the army to speak.
Dozens of seconds passed before the soldier suddenly shouted: "I am willing to follow the general to the death!" ”
Someone cried.
But all the while, no one said they were leaving.
The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are all selected, and they are not worried that there will be no one to take care of them at home.
As Gao Tianzong said, since they joined the army, they have gradually been mentally preparing for the horse leather shroud.
The world is in turmoil, and joining the army is likely to be a point of no return. Zhao Dongting adopted a voluntary enlistment system, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were mostly righteous men with the heart of serving the country and the people.
They are also afraid of death, but they regard righteousness, affection, and duty as more important than their lives.
"Good!"
When Gao Tianzong saw the soldiers like this, some tears appeared in his eyes, and he shouted: "The soldiers of the whole army, prepare to kill with the general!" ”
There are only more than 2,000 people left, and Che Hongyu and others have elected him as the leading general for the time being. Because of this, it is no longer suitable for fighting at the regimental level.
"Yes!"
The soldiers all clenched their blades and looked at the back of the Yuan army.
"Kill!"
Gao Tian drank violently, and rushed out of the forest first, breaking into the rain curtain.
More than 2,000 people rushed through the rain, trampling on the muddy ground, and the shouts of killing were deafening.
"Song Jun is here!"
"Song Jun is here!"
Many people in the rear of the Yuan army heard the shouts of killing, and when they looked back, their faces showed a little surprise.
No one thought that these Song troops would pay such a big price, and they would take the initiative to attack after they finally escaped.
Are they not afraid of death?
"Array!"
"Array!"
There were Yuan army generals shouting in the army.
In the rear of the Yuan army, a shield player hurriedly ran to the back of the army and stood a shield that was half a man high in front of him.
The sought-after players stood behind the shield army.
Further back, there are the usual foot soldiers and archers.
A scout patted his horse and went to the army, shouting at the same time: "The Song army is coming!" Song Jun is here! ”
But let the army of Deyuan slowly stop, and more and more people looked behind.
In the end, the scout ran to the chariot of the Chinese army Ashu, "Marshal, those Song troops have been killed again!" ”
Ah Shu's face didn't show much surprise, and he only said: "Order the rear army to resist, and the iron cavalry will outflank them in a roundabout way!" ”
He seemed to have expected that Gao Tianzong and these people would lead the army to kill them again.
"Yes!"
The scouts and heralds took orders at the same time, and then ran towards the Iron Cavalry and the rear army, respectively.
It's just that before the Yuan army's iron cavalry moved, Gao Tianzong and others had already led the soldiers and monks to rush to the front of the Yuan army's rear army.
Gunshots loomed.
The shield soldier of the Yuan army let out a snort and fell to the ground.
The blood quickly spread through the muddy water.
But there were also people in the Fuzhou garrison who fell.
The Yuan army picked up the divine dragon guns they lost on the drum mountain, although there were not many of them, but at this moment, there were also people who hit people blindly.
And the power of the Divine Dragon Gun, even if it is the new armor of the Great Song Dynasty, is also unstoppable.
Jingle bell.
Compared to the Divine Dragon Bullet that could not see clearly, the arrows falling from the air were overwhelming.
The archers of the Yuan army launched a projectile on the Fuzhou garrison.
Only these arrows fell on the armor, and most of them only made a clanging sound, but they did not cause much damage to the soldiers of the Fuzhou garrison.
In just a few tens of seconds, the soldiers and warriors of the Fushou garrison army rushed to the front of the Yuan army's main array.
Both sides threw thunderbolts.
Under this firearm, the shield bearers of the Yuan army fell to the ground in rows.
The Fuzhou garrison also suffered a lot of losses.
The host of the Luohan Hall rushed to the front, and the spears swept, and several shield bearers in front of him threw their shields behind him, and then knocked down many people.
Although the Fuzhou garrison is only more than 2,000 people, it is a division of tigers and wolves.
They forcibly broke through the formation arranged by the Yuan army.
The two armies fought bloodily.
The sound of gunfire was intensive, but as far as the eye could see, more soldiers on both sides were fighting with their blades.
The losses of the Yuan army were far greater than those of the Fuzhou garrison.
It only took a few minutes before I could feel the ground shake slightly.
It was the iron cavalry in front of the Yuan army that rushed over.
They galloped past the edge of the official road, their horses' hooves splashing mud.
"Withdraw!"
"Withdraw!"
There was such a shout of killing in the Great Song army.
Gao Tianzong and the other generals led the soldiers to hurriedly kill in the side of the mountain.
They don't want to be surrounded by these Yuan troops. Because their task is to delay these Yuan troops, and not to fight to the death here.
For a time, the soldiers and warrior monks of the Fuzhou garrison followed Daxu and ran towards the mountains again.
The Yuan army's foot soldiers couldn't stop it.
The scimitars that they thought were incomparably sharp in the past were no longer as sharp as before in the face of the armor of the Great Song Dynasty.
So, when the Yuan army's iron cavalry rushed over, they could only see the Fuzhou garrison hiding in the mountains again.
This made those cavalry generals angry and did not fall.
But no matter how angry he scolded, he could only stare dryly. Faced with a steep and wooded mountain, their cavalry could not rush up.
And the foot soldiers in the Yuan army did not chase them into the mountains.
In addition to the need to ask for advice, this is not without their fear.
The combat effectiveness of the Song army is indeed much stronger than theirs. Hunt them down to the mountains, and they may not be able to get any benefits.
A foot soldier general galloped towards the Chinese army.
When he got to the chariot of Ashu, the general said: "Marshal, the Song army has withdrawn to the mountains!" Are we going after it? ”
Ah Shu looked in the direction of Changle County and said slowly: "They are just coming to hinder our army, so there is no need to chase them." ”
"Yes!"
The infantry general takes the order.
Ah Shu shouted, "The army continues to march!" ”
In a short time, the Yuan army hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield and continued to the west.
However, by this time it was already nearly dark.
Originally, it was dark early in the summer, but in this rainy weather, it will be even darker.
The Yuan army did not go far west, then stopped again and began to camp in the wilderness.
Gao Tianzong and the others led their troops in the mountains, and they did not attack easily. After seeing the Yuan army camped, they also stopped in the mountains.
It's just that compared with the encampment of the Yuan army, the Fuzhou garrison at this time seemed a little bleak.
They had no tents to set up camp, no dry wood to light a campfire, and even the dry food they had brought with them was soaked by the rain.
The soldiers just buried their heads in the dry food.
Someone has lost his soul.
The army is in this situation, and there are too many familiar faces and people who care about it and leave forever.
Gao Tianzong, Che Hongyu and others will let the soldiers distribute dry food to the warrior monks of the Luohan Hall, and then gather together to sit down.
They were a little further away from the soldiers. Because there are some things that I don't want these soldiers to hear.
As soon as he sat down, Che Hongyu said: "Everyone, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to delay these Yuan troops for three more days, and we will ...... dry food."
Because they are all several generals in the army, it is even direct when he speaks.
Several generals frowned when they heard this.
Blocking the Yuan army for five days, this task was not impossible to complete, but after the breakthrough of Gushan, with the current person, it seems that the hope is too slim.
"When it is dawn, I will send the soldiers to the mountains to look for wild fruits to eat......
After a long time, Gao Tianzhong spoke, "You should appease the soldiers first!" There are still three days to go, and during these three days, we will inevitably endure the pain of hunger and cold, the fight with the Yuan army, the loss of comrades-in-arms, and the pain of suffering. These are the easiest things to crush people. ”
"Okay."
When Che Hongyu and the others heard this, they all nodded lightly.
They also understand that the psychological pressure of the soldiers is greater than the physical pressure.
If we don't relieve these psychological pressures on the soldiers, no matter how iron-clad an army is, it will be rotted into rust.
Although several generals were in a heavy mood, when they finished eating dry food and walked back to the army, they had to pretend to be a little relaxed and indifferent.
As a general, you always have to bear more things than ordinary soldiers.
