Chapter 186: After the war, we welcome double joy

April 7, the first year of the Great Song Dynasty, 6:14 p.m.

The air was filled with the mixed smell of choking gunpowder smoke and blood, and the wind was very strong, because of the late spring, so it was the south wind blowing, and the wind was leeward and covered with beard. The wind swept the smoke and blood towards Menghu, leaving them breathless.

Song Siyi clenched the spear in his hand—a four-meter-long spear that was four meters long in terms of the flow system, one end resting on the shoulder of the robe in front of him. The shieldmen and spearmen formed an extremely dense phalanx, and the armor on their bodies was sufficient to protect them from the fire of bows and arrows in most cases.

"Kill!"

They were the first to react after the shelling, strictly speaking, they did not react, but according to the training regulations of the Liuqiu Escort, after the artillery fired at close range and finally flat, they appeared.

The artillery gave up the artillery and retreated under the cover of the auxiliaries, and the artillery was a technical soldier, and under normal circumstances it was absolutely not allowed to participate in hand-to-hand combat.

Song Siyi's hands trembled a little, but his steps forward were extremely firm.

The artillery also pushed out the barbed wire fence laid by the Liuqiu army through several openings, and the phalanx they formed went out through one of them, and behind them was a small formation of eleven people, of which two of them held shields, one was a large long shield, the other was a round rattan shield, and the rest were those with spears, heavy axes, and short swords.

Meng Hu, who had lost his will to fight and impact, whether it was a soldier or a cavalryman, was crushed in front of Song Siyi and their phalanx. Those who fled to both sides were pursued and killed by this small array, although after the connection was frustrated, the Menghu forces were still slightly overcrowded by the Liuqiu army, but in any part of the country, it was the Liuqiu army that formed a numerical advantage.

Behind Li Ye, in addition to the artillery, the remaining 10,000 auxiliaries and the 300 cavalry he used as a reserve were excited.

The auxiliaries were formerly known as the Loyal Army, and every time the Loyal Army engaged, the victory was also a tragic victory with heavy casualties. Today, in the battle with Menghu, who swept through the northern country, his own casualties were very light, but the enemy army suffered heavy casualties, he was the most sluggish person, and he also knew that the enemy's army was weak, and this victory was decided!

Less wins, and big wins!

Shi Tianze was embarrassed and angry, he thought very highly of himself, fought with Peng Yibin, the loyal army, and won several times, and fought with the martial immortals of the Jin Kingdom, and he also had the upper hand for a long time, but he didn't expect to suffer such a big loss in front of the Liuqiu army. He was stubborn and resolute, and immediately drove forward, wanting to continue to charge, but was tightly held by a personal soldier.

"Marshal, the general trend is gone!"

The six Liuqiu phalanxes protruding from the wooden village of Huangcun had quickly divided the Menghu troops leaning outside and devoured them piece by piece. Everywhere they were, the Monhus, who had lost their hearts and lost contact with each other, were caught in their own battles. Although most of the Menghu people are skilled in bows and horses, they are not all real Hu warriors, and most of them are forcibly recruited soldiers from the various ethnic groups in the north. Faced with the death and wounding of more than a thousand people in an instant, many of these soldiers could no longer hold themselves, and many of them threw down their weapons and surrendered in tears, and many more were scurrying around like headless flies.

Menghu, who had not been divided, turned around and ran wildly, and in an instant, Menghu, who was originally quite well-groomed, fled faster than one by one.

Menghu's morale had completely collapsed, Li Ye picked up the iron spear, turned over on his horse, pointed at Shi Tianze's big and shouted: "Follow me to win the first victory of the enemy general!" ”

The three hundred cavalry had already waited impatiently, and when they heard the cheers, they raised their sabers, and the snow-bright blades flashed with cold light, like a bending cold moon. Then 1,200 horses' hooves galloped up, protruding from the gap between the two Liuqiu phalanxes, and the thunder swept towards Shi Tianze's great tower.

Tian Jiehu stayed where he was, touching his head, both envious and disappointed, in this battle, except for the initial lure of the enemy, they went out to shake it, almost nothing did they do, just used the shield to block the arrows for the Liuqiu army, most of the time they were waiting.

"His grandmother's, look at the people, that's the soldiers, what kind of things are we!" Wu Quan said with a sigh: "Damn, it's no wonder that people practice like that on weekdays!" ”

They are facing a truly professional army that does everything every day is how to kill people more effectively on the battlefield. They don't have to be slaves or servants for their officials, they don't have to farm land, they don't have to make cattle and horses, and they don't have to eat this meal and worry about the next meal. They are different from almost all the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty before, honor, discipline, and well-trained, plus the grassroots officers of the Allied Army and the Deputy Army have all graduated from the primary school or have entered the night school of the primary school, even if the direct boss is killed or loses the ability to command, they can immediately automatically produce a new commander according to the military rank - and the ability of this commander is not much worse than the predecessor. This made this army tenacious, tenacious, resolute, and courageous, plus they already had sufficient combat experience when fighting for Xuzhou with the Jin people, and in the face of the weakest army of Menghu, even if there was no barbed wire and artillery, they had the strength to win the battle.

"Let's just watch here." Tian Jiehu was extremely frustrated, and regretted more and more that he had not gone to beg in the first place.

This is the first time Li Ye has led a cavalry assault, and his riding skills are not top-notch, but now he doesn't need to be very powerful, basically just catch up with an enemy soldier and assassinate him. He was guarded by his subordinates on both flanks, and even if the enemy wanted to resist, it was difficult to support them under the three arrows.

Shi Tianze was rapidly retreating under his personal escort, and after the initial anger, he already knew that the situation was irreparable and began to retreat. It's just that in the chaos now, how difficult it is to retreat, and later, his own soldiers simply slashed and killed their own people, and only then did they kill a bloody way.

However, at this time, Li Ye's 300 cavalry also pursued.

"Shi Tianze, traitor, leave the dog's head!"

Li Ye shouted, raised his iron spear high, and drove his horse to pounce on Shi Tianze. Before him, the cavalry that had been guarding the two flanks was the first to advance, while another cavalry was guarding his flanks.

Under the circumstance that the overall situation has been decided, it would be too funny if Li Ye, the main general, made a mistake at this time. Li Ye was still about to rush forward, when suddenly the two cavalrymen in front of him shouted in unison, and then their bodies flew down from their horses, and blood spurted in the air!

Li Quan stared at Li Ye expressionlessly, the spear was stabbed, Li Ye crossed the gun sideways, and stabbed Li Quan's waist and eyes at the same time.

"Four ladies?" Just from Li Ye's one action, Li Quan knew who taught Li Ye marksmanship. A flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and Yang Miaozhen's youthful appearance appeared in front of him again.

I heard that she is now the Great Song Xian Concubine......

Thinking so in his heart, Li Quan's subordinates did not relax, the iron spear swept, and as soon as he was in peace, he swept Li Ye off his horse. If it weren't for the armor protector, this would be enough for Li Ye to break a few ribs!

When Li Quan returned the gun and wanted to stab again, the cavalry behind Li Ye had already rushed towards him like a tide, although he was brave, but he also had to temporarily avoid the edge, and seeing the commander's banner, the Liuqiu infantry also pushed in this direction, not far away.

"Spare your life." Li Quan was a little unwilling in his heart, and led the rest of his troops to chase in the direction of Shi Tianze's escape, followed by the most elite horse exploration spur army in this Menghu army, so although it was a big defeat, it was still not chaotic.

Li Ye got up from the ground with a disgraced face, and looked at the two cavalrymen who had rushed in front of him at first, they were both shot in the throat and were already out of breath. With a look of annoyance, he gently closed the eyes of one of them, which were still wide open.

In the end, I still didn't calm down, so I had this risk.

The self-blame made him forget the joy of the great victory, and when he saw that he was not on his horse, the cavalry no longer pursued, but guarded him and waited for the infantry to come up.

After a while, Li Ye remounted his horse, and he had no intention of fighting again, but returned to his horse and galloped towards his own formation. The battle has come to an end, and all that's left is to clean up the battlefield.

"Li Shenling, in addition to Menghu, there are also Jin, Khitan and Han people, how should they be disposed of?" Wu Fang saw that his expression was solemn, so he came up and asked.

After Li Ye paused, he snorted and said: "Menghu is buried alive, and the rest are escorted back to mining, we are in Xuzhou for miners!" ”

"You should play the court immediately." Wu Fang reminded again.

"I know, I know, Lao Wu, today...... Thank you very much. Li Ye was a little embarrassed, but remembering what Zhao and Ju had said, he still thanked Wu Fang.

The news of the victory of Xia Cun reached Lin'an in only four days, and the "Great Song Times Weekly" reported it for the first time, and at the end of the report, it also distributed the article "Huayi's Identification" in which Deng Ruoshui personally caught the knife, this article was not instructed by Zhao and Ju, but Deng Ruoshui felt that Shi Tianze and Li Quan, the two commanders of the Menghu army, were Han Chinese. In "The Identification of Huayi", it is emphasized that the distinction between "Huayi" does not depend on blood, but on whether or not to accept the "Tao" of Huaxia, that is, values.

"Yidi has a king, not as good as the death of Zhuxia. He also, the way is not good. This path is for the love of his country, respect for his elders, friends for his friends, benevolence, courtesy, and goodness. For studiousness, diligence, enterprising, and tolerance. If Yidi also walks the avenue, then Yidi is Huaxia, if Huaxia loses patriotism, respect for elders, friendship with friends, no benevolence, rudeness, does not seek perfection, abandons school, laziness, self-style, narrow-mindedness, then Huaxia is also Yidi. ”

Deng Ruoshui's words came out for a reason, although the last time because of the flow of goods to impact the people's livelihood in the Great Song Dynasty, although it calmed down, there are still undercurrents under the water, especially with the appointment of "Boya Lou Bachelor", some people are saying that the Son of Heaven wants to seek the government of the Great Song Dynasty, which is "to change Zhuxia to Yidi", in response to this point of view, Deng Ruoshui thinks that whether it is "Zhuxia" does not lie in the political system, but in the cultural and national characteristics.

"Deng Pingzhong's words are wonderful!"

Zhao Youju was eating his breakfast while reading the newspaper, and he always felt that his time was not enough, so he even had to concentrate on breakfast time. Hearing that he was muttering vaguely with red rice porridge in his mouth, Yang Miaozhen pouted and gave him a big roll of his eyes, while Han Yu pursed his lips and chuckled, putting a peeled egg in his bowl.

"Your Majesty, what should you say about Li Rui?" After eating, Yang Miaozhen asked.

Yang Miaozhen never asks about political affairs, unless it is related to military affairs. Although Zhao Youju taught a lot of strategy and tactics and war knowledge and righteousness, it was all on paper, and her understanding of the war at this time was far inferior to Yang Miaozhen, so she asked about the military aircraft, and she also played a staff role. Because of the close relationship with her, Zhao and Ju usually communicate with her, such as Li Rui.

Li Rui's blood book was sent to Zhao Heju the day before yesterday, and Zhao Heju felt a little embarrassed about this blood book while feeling his sincerity. After all, he had not personally dealt with this Li Rui, and he could only judge his loyalty through indirect channels, and he still had doubts in his heart about whether the indirect channels that turned his hand were accurate.

"I have already approved Li Rui's enlistment, if he is all fake, he will not be able to make any tricks. If it is sincere, if I do not allow it, will it not hurt the heart of the righteous man? ”

Zhao Youju did not use the word "I" when he responded to this, in fact, in front of Yang Miaozhen and Han Yu, he used "I" to refer to himself less and less.

He was worried that coming and going all day long would make him forget what "me" was.

"Your Majesty......" Yang Miaozhen grabbed Zhao Youju's arm, and her eyes sparkled: "I'm going to Xuzhou too!" ”

"Four ladies!" Zhao and Ju raised their faces.

Yang Miaozhen's shining eyes immediately became aggrieved, but this grievance did not last long, because Zhao Youju's words caused her to laugh: "No matter how your eyes flash and flash, they can't compare to the look of the cat in the imperial garden when it wants to eat fish!" ”

"Your Majesty, concubine ......" Han Yu next to her also laughed, she just stood up, and suddenly felt a surge in her chest, and hurriedly got up and avoided retching.

Zhao Youju frowned slightly, got up to support her, saw that she didn't vomit anything, thought about it and was about to speak, Yang Miaozhen had already ordered first: "Go and invite the imperial doctor to find a safer one." ”

The palace maid who served them was Xie Daoqing, she was cautious and polite, so although Zhao and Ju still had some scruples about her, Yang Miaozhen and Han Yu liked her very much. Hearing Yang Miaozhen's command, she answered yes and immediately trotted out.

It didn't take long for her to bring in an old imperial doctor, and the old imperial doctor confessed his guilt, and after checking Han Yu's pulse, his face was happy: "Your Majesty is overjoyed, Zhaorong is happy." ”

"Zhaorong is happy!"

Although he was prepared in his heart, Zhao Youju was still stunned for a moment, and then ecstasy.

No matter how calm and self-contained he is, the news is very shocking to him. Not only him, but also Yang Miaozhen, also looked surprised.

They had a lot of love in bed with Zhao and Ju, but they had never been pregnant for a long time, which made Yang Miaozhen and Han Yu a little worried. Although they are not old now, they have not been pregnant and have children for so long, and it is inevitable that the ministers will continue to stuff young girls into the palace.

Therefore, at the moment of knowing this, Yang Miaozhen first felt joy, and then a faint sourness. Han Yu is pregnant, but she hasn't yet.

Zhao Youju grabbed Han Yu's hand a little nervously, Han Yu had a happy smile on her face, she bit her lip and secretly looked at the expression on Zhao Youju's face. At this moment, it seemed that only the two of them and the little life that had just begun to conceive in her womb existed, and the rest had disappeared.

The good news was soon known to the Empress Dowager Yang, and then the concubine of King Rong's mansion, and even Cui He, an old fox, also went to Zhao Heju to turn around some good things in the name of congratulations. The due date is still far away, but Zhao and Ju are already in a hurry, just like every first-time father, he is so excited that he almost doesn't know what to do.
