862. The Battle of Pine Creek
The atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became a little strange.
Kublai Khan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he looked at the obviously Mongol minister and said, "Go on." β
This old minister arched his hand, "The Song army feints to withdraw, and Lu Wenhuan promotes the army in a hurry, and the minister thinks that this may be Lu Wenhuan and his ......"
The latter words were too damning, because the minister did not continue. is not afraid of offending Lu Wenhuan, but afraid of being disliked by Kublai Khan.
Kublai Khan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then slowly shook his head, "Lu Wenhuan once followed Boyan to almost annihilate the entire Song Kingdom, so there should be no such possibility." β
The old minister said: "The former monarch of the Song Kingdom was faint, and the current Song Kingdom ...... His king is very wise......"
This is another faintly heart-wrenching sentence. This old minister is only afraid that he has something to do with Lu Wenhuan.
However, after he said this, the eyes of everyone in the imperial study were crossed.
LΓΌ Wenhuan guarded Xiangyang for six years and was loyal to the Song State. When he first voted for the Yuan, it was all because he was completely disappointed in the Song court.
Even Kublai Khan, a big-bellied monarch, was a little drumming in his heart at this time. He wanted to believe Lu Wenhuan, but the words of this old minister always hung in his heart.
Lu Wenhuan, as the commander of the road, if he really has the heart to vote for the Song Dynasty, the army of more than 100,000 people along the way will not be able to escape the annihilation of the whole army.
It's just that changing generals on the spot is a big taboo.
Kublai Khan undoubtedly hesitated.
Eventually, he looked at his thinker Sang Ge and asked, "Brother Sang, what do you think about this matter?" Do you want to replace Lu Wenhuan? β
Brother Sang bowed slightly and said, "I think it...... Changing generals on the spot is a big taboo. And Lu Wenhuan has made a lot of contributions to my dynasty, if he is replaced in this way, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of those subordinates in the court, and the impact will be great at that time. It is better for the emperor to send a special envoy to Lu Wenhuan's army to supervise the duties, and not give him the right to transfer troops and send generals, but give him the right of veto. In this way, even if Lu Wenhuan really has different intentions, he can prevent him from letting me kill my Dayuan soldiers. β
In the end, he deserves to be the thinker around Kublai Khan, and this kind of reaction is beyond the reach of ordinary ministers.
Ye Luzhu and the others on the side all nodded in agreement.
Kublai Khan couldn't help nodding, and then said, "That...... Yeluzhu, you will go to Lu Wenhuan's army! β
Sending ordinary ministers may not be able to suppress Lu Wenhuan, after all, Lu Wenhuan's status in the Yuan Dynasty is not low. But Yelu casts the position of a very human minister, and he can do it.
Moreover, Yeluzhu is also very resourceful, and he is definitely the best candidate.
"The minister commands."
Jerod bowed and agreed.
On this day, Yeluzhu set out from the Yuan Dynasty with Kublai Khan's holy decree and went to LΓΌ Wenhuan's army.
Kublai Khan also sent Huang Liangce, the closest master around him, to protect him.
β¦β¦
Fujian Road in the territory of Jianning Mansion.
In the two counties of North Songxi and Zhenghe in Jianning Prefecture, the people in the county have all withdrawn from the county seat. The two armies of Tiansu and Tianzhi were cut off for the people.
There is no end in sight to the spread of the people who retreated to Jianning Province.
The Yuan army, which was originally stationed outside the two counties, pursued the Song army at a very fast speed after being stationed in Songxi and Zhenghe counties.
They probably didn't think much of it.
Because the people of the city have already migrated out of the city, this really does not seem to be a feint.
Both sides have scouts for each other.
The fight that unfolds during the encounter with the scout team in the middle is omitted.
The scouts in the forbidden army are all elite, skilled in archers and horses, and have good eyesight. The losses of the scouts of the Yuan army were much heavier.
More than ten miles outside Songxi County.
The sunset shone on the stream next to the official road, sparkling, like golden leaves drifting with the waves.
The Yuan army that was pursuing behind was getting closer and closer to the Tiansu army.
This suddenly has a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu that Uncle Liu Huang escorted the people to evacuate in the Battle of Changbanpo.
When the Yuan army was only about five miles away from the Song army, the main general of the Tiansu Army finally ordered: "The whole army is in formation!" Resist the Yuan army! β
Wen Tianxiang is the best at guerrillas, but this time, he has no intention of letting his army and the Yuan army launch guerrillas. Lining up on the official road is obviously a tough one.
The commander of this order was named He Chenghua. He was dressed in ink armor and a tasseled helmet on his head, and he looked very brave.
If you talk about his name, there may not be too many people in the Great Song Dynasty who know it now. But if you talk about his brother, everyone must know it.
Because his brother is the leader of the former She people's army, that is, the current Guangnan East Road pacification envoy - He Dongqiang.
At the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty's recovery of Fujian, most of the elites of the She people and the Toutuo army were incorporated into the six forbidden armies of Tiandark, Tianyou, Sky, Tiansu, Tianyi, and Tianzhi newly established under Wen Tianxiang. The leaders of his army also followed Huang Hua and Mrs. Xu to the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Dongting and Wen Tianxiang trusted these generals very much. Many of them served in the Fujian Military Region.
I think that when He Chenghua was appointed as the commander of the Tiansu Army before, this still became a good story in Fujian. He and his brother were both important ministers, and it can be said that they greatly glorified the court.
After hearing his order, the soldiers of the Tiansu Army stopped moving forward. The cavalry and infantry all stopped slowly.
He Chenghua shouted in the army: "Soldiers, among the forbidden armies of the Great Song Dynasty, the six forbidden armies of our Fujian Military Region were established the latest. Before the emperor set up our Tiansu Army, we were just righteous troops, and I knew that there were rumors in the army that our army's equipment and food were inferior to Tiangang, Tiankui and other armies, and even their combat effectiveness was not as good as theirs, but the general can tell you now that it is all. The emperor treats everyone equally, and the equipment, food, salary, etc. of the forbidden army in the Great Song Dynasty are all the same! If the combat effectiveness is not as good as Tiankui, Tiangang and other armies, it is because we have not trained hard enough! Now, you tell the general, are you training hard? β
"Assiduously!"
"Assiduously!"
"Assiduously!"
Such an answer sounded in unison in the army.
The forbidden armies of the Great Song Dynasty are all elite, among which Tiankui, Tiangang and other armies are the most popular. The later established armies such as Tiansu and Tianzhi are the least famous. But at the end of the day, who's convinced whom?
"Good!"
He Chenghua nodded and shouted loudly: "Then in this battle, let the general, let the whole world, take a look at the combat effectiveness of our Tiansu Army!" β
"We, will we be worse than the Tiankui Army?"
"No!"
"Are we the weakest of the Forbidden Army?"
"It's not!"
"How do you prove it?"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
A shout sounded neatly in the army.
Although it was only a few words, He Chenghua successfully mobilized the morale of the soldiers of the Tiansu Army.
"Array!"
Then in He Chenghua's array, the soldiers of the Tiansu Army were in full swing.
Their formation blocked the entire official road.
In front of the army is a thunderstorm.
Behind the thunderstorm was a bunker hastily piled up with stones.
Behind the bunker are the Dragonmen.
The cavalrymen dismounted and fought.
At the back, there are firearms equipment such as artillery throwing vehicles in the army.
The grenadier battalion was hidden on the hillside next to the official road, and hundreds of grenadiers were neatly arranged, aiming at the official road, forming an artillery array.
The Tiansu army, which is a full 10,000 people, only has a few hundred foot soldiers escorting grain and grass first.
They don't know how many times they have practiced in the military region for a formation like this.
And these soldiers of the Tiansu Army have all seen blood on the battlefield before, so there is no need to worry that they will be as nervous as the garrison soldiers.
After a while, the north face was dusty.
A scout hurriedly galloped back and came to He Chenghua, "Commander! The Yuan army has arrived! β
As soon as the words fell, at the bend at the end of the official road, the cavalry of the Yuan army appeared.
According to the scout's report, the Yuan army that pursued out of Songxi County was about 30,000 people.
This should account for half of the Yuan army in Songxi County. It is enough to see how much the Yuan army attached great importance to the Great Song Forbidden Army, and even feared it.
For example, in a field battle, the two sides line up to charge and kill. The advantages that can be created by tripling the force are unimaginable.
However, even though he knew that there were many soldiers in the Yuan army, no one in the Tiansu army showed a look of fear, but they were all faintly excited.
They are not righteous troops now, but serious Great Song Forbidden Army.
Looking at the previous examples of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, how many times did they not win more with less?
Those who were the first to establish the forbidden army can do it, and they can do it too.
This is not only to make a name for the Tiansu Army, but also to fight for their people. At the same time, it is also a good blow to the momentum of the Yuan army that was originally arrogant.
"Prepare for war!"
As the roar of He Chenghua and the generals in the army sounded, the soldiers hiding behind the bunker all loaded their guns.
Click, click.
The sound of a brush.
And the soldier who was responsible for triggering the thunder array was staring at the Yuan army in front of him with his eyes.
Within a distance of dozens of meters in front, they planted thunder. Although it seems a little rough because of the rush of time, these Yuan troops always have to come over.
