Under the cover of the dragon gunners, the grenadier and the artillery driver carried the grenadier and pushed the artillery cart to hide in the woods not far behind the beach.

But the woods are not dense, but they can still be seen clearly.

The Yuan army disembarked one after another, and there were shield bearers carrying shields to block the front.

The soldiers who disembarked from the boat behind hurriedly lined up their troops.

In the absence of an order from the commander-in-chief, no one dared to lead the army to pursue without authorization.

A general ran to the commander of this army, Ah Shu, and asked: "Marshal, there is a small group of Song troops ahead, are we pursuing?" ”

Although Ah Shu is no longer young, he still looks energetic, a typical Mongolian appearance, and his body is a little bloated like Kublai Khan.

He sat upright in the bow of the boat, and a soldier held an umbrella for him.

The short artillery battle just now was all in his eyes.

It is true that there are not many people in the Song army who rushed out of the dense forest, although there are a lot of artillery carts and grenadiers, but the total number of soldiers is about 1,000.

Ah Shu put his hand on the handle of the sandalwood chair under him, shook his head and said, "There is no need to pursue." This Song army must just lure the enemy to come, let's get off the ship first and fight steadily! ”

"Yes!"

The general received the order and ran towards the center of the ship.

The handsome flag waved.

The Yuan army landed one after another, but only allowed the Song army to hide.

By the time they had brought off the ship with all the baggage and supplies in general, it was already close to dusk.

The Song army did not attack again.

Naval warships swayed gently with the waves on the surface of the sea.

Under the order of Ashu, two large armies of the Yuan army advanced several miles to the west. In the end, it is only a few miles away from the Great Song Yanxiang Village.

The Yuan army camped in the wilderness about two miles from the coast.

The tents stretch and there is no end in sight. The vast expanses of the grass were cut down by the soldiers.

Then the Yuan army began to cook on the spot.

In Yanxiang Village, it can be seen that the banner of the Song Army is high. And there is a faint fragrance of rice overflowing in the village.

The scouts of the Yuan army wandered outside the village and did not dare to go deeper.

The Song army even held Dazhai tightly.

There are wells dug in the village, so there is no need to worry about the water source problem at all. From the outside, it is impossible to see how many soldiers and horses the Song army is stationed in this Yanxiang village.

When night fell, a soldier came to report in front of Ah Shu.

Ah Shu was lying horizontally in the tent, and under him was a tiger skin couch. There were several other generals in the tent.

These generals were all his subordinates before, that is, people from the Ashu faction. There was the smell of wine in the tent.

After the soldier entered the tent, he knelt on the ground and said: "Marshal, only Yanxiang Village is stationed in Yanxiang Village within a radius of ten miles. ”

Ah Shu pushed away the maid in his arms and asked, "How many people?" ”

The soldier said, "The number is unknown. The Song army did not have scouts out of the village to investigate, and our army failed to capture prisoners. ”

Ah Shu frowned slightly, and said to the generals: "The Song army is stubbornly guarding the village, so why don't you plan to block the tens of thousands of troops of Ben Shuai with just Yanxiang Village?" ”

A burly general stood up and arched his hand: "Marshal, the last general asks for orders to lead the army to attack at night!" Take down this Yanxiang Village tonight! ”

The total garrison of the Song army in Fuzhou was not more than 10,000 people, and it was impossible for all of them to gather in this Yanxiang village. Even though there may be thousands of military horses, they may not be taken into account by these generals.

No matter how good the Song army is, it can't stop the huge gap in strength.

"Hmm!"

Ah Shu nodded slightly, "Tomur, then the commander will allow you to lead the cavalry of the headquarters to attack the camp tonight." ”

As he spoke, he looked at a general on the left, "Bagen, you lead the soldiers of your headquarters to go out with Tomur to prevent the Song army from cutting off Tomur's back road." ”

"The last general commands!"

The two generals agreed loudly at the same time.

The soldiers withdrew.

There was laughter and the sound of light and light again in the tent.

Ah Shu said: "Ben Shuai has not been to the Great Song Dynasty for several years, but I want to see how these Song troops can stop Ben Shuai's 100,000 army." ”

He was the most prestigious general of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was several points better than the previous Boyandu.

"The handsome man will definitely win!"

"We will follow in the footsteps of the handsome!"

The Lord of the tent will only compliment incessantly.

The night is in such laughter and laughter, and it is said that it is dark.

There were continuous torches out of the camp on the west side of the Yuan army camp, and Tomur led the headquarters of 10,000 horsemen to gallop out of the camp and went straight to Yanxiang Village.

Immediately after that, the Yuan general Bagen also led his soldiers out of the camp, keeping only two miles away from Tomur's army.

There is also movement in Yanxiang Village.

Although the bonfire was still burning, the Song troops in the village slowly retreated from the west side of the village.

There were only a thousand of them.

The Third Army of the Fuzhou Garrison.

Half of the cavalry and half of the infantry in the regiment. There are only about half of the dragons.

In the end, the productivity of this era is far inferior to that of later generations, and it is not something that Zhao Dongting can mention when he says it. Even now, it is impossible for the whole army to match the dragon gun.

After quietly leaving Dazhai, the officers and men of the regiment stopped on the hillside only a few hundred meters away from Yanxiang Village.

The soldiers began to dig trenches and bury minefields.

The regiment commander, Gao Tian, sat on the hillside, surrounded by more than a dozen generals.

These generals were the deputy commander of the Third Army Corps, Du Yuhou, and the commanders of each battalion.

A general said: "Regiment commander, will the Yuan army attack the village at night?" ”

Gao Tian, who was not very old and even looked quite immature, said: "I don't know. However, when I was in the academy, our tactics teacher once said that if you want to win a hundred battles, you have to be able to do it well. If the Yuan army did not attack the camp, we would just go to this wilderness to take a cool ride, and if the Yuan army attacked the camp, but our army was in the village, wouldn't there be no way out? ”

"Hey, hey!"

Some generals laughed, "We are all rough people, we don't understand this." But whatever you say, Commander, is what you say. ”

"Don't worry!"

Gao Tian, who graduated from Changsha Yuelu Academy and successfully became a Confucian general, said with a smile: "I received news that when this battle is over, the emperor has a plan to select generals in the army to start military training. When the time comes, I recommend you to go, you are all veterans and experienced, and all you lack is written knowledge. ”

"But I can't read a word......

Gao Tianzong smiled angrily, "If you don't know how to read, learn slowly!" ”

Time has passed for about an hour.

A soldier with a dragon gun on his back hurriedly ran to Gao Tianzong and the others, and said, "Commander, the Yuan thief is already close to Dazhai." ”

Gao Tianlong's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "All battalions are ready for battle!" ”

All the generals were commanded, and they went away, every one of them.

Gao Tianzong was left with only the deputy head Chang Hongxin to accompany him.

Chang Hongxin is the veteran who said he couldn't even read a word.

As soon as the generals left, he said: "Commander, our soldiers have all withdrawn from Dazhai, and now the village is empty. Will the Yuan army enter the village? ”

Gao Tian laughed and said, "I didn't want to lead them to the village!" There wasn't even a thunderbolt buried in the village, did it? ”

Chang Hongxin was even more puzzled: "But there is no danger in this place, is it better than guarding Dazhai?" ”

Gao Tianzong said: "The army commander did not order us to defend Yanxiang Village. Our mission is simply to destroy enough of the thieves. ”

His face looked very cunning, "It doesn't hurt if this Yanxiang Village is given to the Yuan army." ”

Chang Hongxin muttered, "The thoughts of you scholars are really beyond the guess of us coarse people." In the past, when there were wars, how could there be so many twists and turns. ”

Gao Tian indulged in joy and said: "These are all tactics invented by the emperor. Hey, why don't you say this to the emperor? ”

Chang Hongxin snorted angrily, "Do I dare to say that the emperor is twisted and turned?" ”

After waiting for a while, another scout came to report, "Regiment commander, the Yuan army stopped in front of Dazhai." ”

Gao Tianzong said: "Can you find out how many of them there are?" ”

The scout replied, "We don't dare get too close, it looks like there are about 10,000 people." ”

Gao Tianzong nodded and said, "Keep exploring!" ”

The scout went.

Gao Tianzong, whose face was dark, rubbed his hands a little excitedly beside him, "There are so many Yuan troops, this time it's a hard stubble." ”

Gao Tianzong smiled lightly and did not speak.

East of Yanxiang Village.

The general Tomur rode a tall horse and stood in front of the army with a mace in his hand.

Behind him was a dense array of Yuan army iron cavalry.

These Yuan soldiers are all soldiers of the Mongolian headquarters, and they can all be said to have grown up on horseback, with a wild nature that the Song people do not have.

The scimitar reflected the icy cold light in the light of the torch.

Most of the soldiers in the army wore Mongolian robes, and only a few wore armor.

A scout galloped to Tomur and reported: "General! The Song army has withdrawn from Dazhai, and although there are torches in the village, there is no Song army. ”
