Chapter 1091: Helping the Coffin into Battle
In Dingzhou City, the foot soldiers gathered from all over the city have been repaired.
The Great Song army was stationed everywhere, and it was transferred almost every few years, from south to north, leaving the army exhausted.
Since the year before, the situation has been better.
The infantry of Hebei Road had already gathered here, and after the cavalry led by Han Qi arrived, they were waiting for orders.
In the state yali, Han Qi and Shen An and others, who had just come out of the shower, met with several plainclothes men.
"The Imperial City secret spy has seen Han Xiang and seen ...... Shen County Gong ......"
Most of the men were wounded, and one of them lost his right arm.
Han Qi hadn't led troops for many years, so when he saw this, he asked, "But is there an enemy?" ”
The spy said: "Yes, we waited for the news to find out that more than 50,000 Liao troops have already arrived......
"Where?"
Han Qi spread out the map on the table and asked with a sharp gaze.
The spy walked over, pointed to one place and said, "I'll follow all the way, and after the enemy army has bypassed Dafang Mountain, I'll come back to report the news......"
"Dafangshan ......"
Han Qi's fingers moved slowly on the map, "On the left is Xiongzhou, but the enemy army actually bypassed Dafang Mountain, so it can be seen that it is not Xiongzhou......"
Shen An walked over, looked at the map, and said, "Baozhou!" ”
Han Qi was waiting for this sentence and said, "Yes, it's Baozhou!" ”
At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by a famous general, and slammed his fist on the table.
The table was smashed down by his punch, and Han Qi only felt that the strength in his body was diffuse, so he ordered: "According to the distance, the enemy army must have approached Yizhou, be quick, arrive before the enemy army raids Baozhou, and attack!" Sortie! ”
Han Qi smashed the table with one punch, feeling that all his martial arts had returned, and he couldn't wait to go into battle immediately to try his sword skills.
He looked at Shen An, "What does Anbei think?" ”
Even know to ask my opinion...... Lao Han seems to have changed a lot.
Shen An said: "The scout set off immediately to warn Baozhou, and the brigade then set off. ”
Someone asked puzzledly: "Shen County Gong, why didn't the cavalry follow?" With this brigade of cavalry, Baozhou City will be more secure, right? ”
"Yes! With this new force, it is difficult for the Liao army to conquer Baozhou City. ”
Han Qi was also looking at Shen An. In the past few years, he has been reflecting on the defeat in the northwest and pondering the way of conquest, but after all, it is only on paper.
The person with the most experience in actual combat on this trip is Shen An, and Shen An has repeatedly defeated the Liao, which is his Han Qi's reliance.
"What about the foot soldiers?"
Shen An picked up the map from the ground, and by the way, he found that the table had already broken a leg, and he couldn't help but glance at Han Qi.
Old Han, such a table can be knocked down with one punch.
He picked up the map, spread it on the desk, and drew a line from Dingzhou to Baozhou, "Most of the Liao army are cavalry, good at raiding, if all the cavalry of our army reinforces Baozhou, the foot soldiers march along this line......"
He looked up at Han Qi, "If the Liao army surrounds Baozhou, the main force will go south to raid our army's foot soldiers......"
"This ......"
Han Qi's eyes shrank, "Raid...... Halfway to a surprise attack, caught off guard, our army infantry is afraid that it will collapse......"
If it is a foot soldier against a foot soldier, the Great Song Dynasty really does not scare the Liao people, but the enemy army is all cavalry!
Everyone looked at each other for a while, and someone said, "The enemy is afraid that it won't be, right?" Besides, our army is full of scouts along the way......"
Shen An looked at the person who spoke, frowned, and said: "The enemy army raided Baozhou, if it is found that our army has been prepared, it will surround it but not fight, and the main force will go south to seek a decisive battle for our army...... Along the way, they will send out rangers to cut off our scouts...... Do the foot soldiers have to guard against the march all the way? ”
"That can't be." Han Qi also has some research on this, "Preparing for the march all the way, the morale of the army will be tight, and once it encounters the enemy, it will collapse if it is not done well." ”
That's the disadvantage of a thousand days of thief prevention.
Shen An felt that Lao Han had really grown up.
Everyone was afraid for a while, and someone arched his hand and said: "Meng Lang, our army has not experienced a battle formation for a long time, let alone fought with the Liao army, and does not understand the layout of the enemy army...... If it weren't for Shen County's presence today, I'm afraid it would have caused a catastrophe. ”
Everyone remembered the battle of the Gaoliang River that year, once the foot soldiers were defeated, it was irretrievable.
And the enemy cavalry pursued and killed, and there were few people who could escape.
"Shen Xiangong is really a famous general, and he has been served."
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." A veteran said with a smile: "Shen Xiangong is young here, and he always thinks that this general's name is a bit fake, but after these words, the old man is ashamed of himself." ”
"Shen Xiangong is a famous general praised by the first emperor and the current official family, and he is the one who can have such an opportunity in the Great Song Dynasty."
It's not that no one thought of this question, it's just that Han Qi is standing there, and no one will take the initiative to raise it when he is not sure.
This is the disadvantage of the civilian official in charge of the army, in the past, the warriors were suppressed and could not speak, but now although the situation is improving, the civilian official is still there, and the veteran who thought of this problem was just laughing.
It's all old fritters!
Someone glanced at Han Qi, and then everyone was quiet.
Lao Han claims to be famous, let's praise Shen An so much, will he be uneasy?
But Han Qi smiled and said, "The old man has an explanation before he comes out. ”
Everyone stood with their hands tied, and Han Qi said: "The official family said that although Shen An is young, he has fought many battles and has never been defeated, you have to listen to him more on this trip." ”
Everyone was envious, thinking that Shen An would probably soar in another ten years.
Zaisuke, who is in his thirties, tsk! People can't help but envy, jealousy and hate!
Han Qi looked at Shen An with a smile, "The previous words let the old man know that Anbei's reputation as a famous general is indeed true, in this way, the Great Song Dynasty will win this battle!" ”
"Da Song will win!"
Everyone was excited, and Han Qi ordered: "Order all the troops, pack up the baggage, set off immediately, and tell the soldiers that the rest of the road is not easy, and you must go all out." ”
"Yes."
This side is arranging, Shen An walked in front of several secret spies, and said: "You have worked hard this way, and Han Xiang will naturally repay his merits when he turns back." ”
The spy who took the lead choked up and said, "Thank you Shen County Gong, it's just that those brothers who died in battle can't even recover the corpses." There are also people who were captured alive by the Liao army and dragged to death by war horses...... I'm just running for my life listening to the howl...... I want to come ...... at the moment."
Shen An patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good man! ”
Han Qi also said solemnly: "Good man! ”
"Attack!"
"The Liao army is coming, the whole army is attacking!"
"Are you afraid of the Liao Army?"
"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! ”
After the army was assembled, Han Qi boosted his morale in front of the array, and shouted loudly: "In the battle of Yanmen Pass, Yelu Hongji was defeated and vomited blood, he was unwilling, but he only dared to come and attack...... The old man has to take the lead in this battle...... Come! ”
Han Qi turned around and beckoned. A two-horse cart came slowly.
On the cart turned out to be a coffin.
it!
Shen An was dumbfounded.
Han Qi shouted: "This is the coffin that the old man bought in Dingzhou, if this battle is lost, the old man will die in front of the battle, and he will have no shame to return to Beijing, and he will have no shame to see the people of Bianliang!" ”
After saying that, he got into the cart and was with the coffin.
The array was silent for a while, and Shen An shouted: "The Great Song will win!" ”
The prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty went to war with a coffin, and this spirit of breaking the boat made the Great Song soldiers go crazy.
Countless arms are waving, and countless faces are flushing......
"Da Song will win!"
"Da Song will win!"
"Departure...... No, strike! ”
Han Qi sat on the edge of the coffin, holding the handle of the knife with a resolute expression.
If he didn't win this time, he would rather die in the north, preferring to hang his head above the spears of the Liao army.
A group of sergeants walked in front of him, and countless soldiers cast admiring glances.
"The old man is a little enthusiastic...... Shen An walked over, and Han Qi muttered: "In the past, the old man always didn't care about these things, and he didn't care about the martial artists, but at this moment, the soldiers were looking at the old man, with that kind of reverent gaze, this moment...... The old man is willing to die...... Die on the way to the battle, die without regrets! ”
He turned his head and said to Shen An: "Anbei, if there is disharmony in this battle, you remember...... He beheaded the old man and hung it on a tree facing north. ”
This is not very lucky, is it?
Shen An was still struggling, Han Qi was already full of confidence and said: "Zeng Gongliang killed the enemy, Bao Zheng killed the enemy, Ouyang Xiu's eyes probably couldn't tell the enemy from me, Zai Fuli is the old man who has never stabbed the enemy, this time he has the opportunity, the old man must be good to kill a few Liao talents, Anbei, the old man has also been dancing in the past year, ask yourself is not bad, you don't have to stop it." ”
The prime minister wants to kill the enemy, and Shen An is happy to hear about this.
But Han Qi's body shape is a little melancholy.
Ordinary horses can't lead him, and even if they do, they can't run.
Han Qi smiled bitterly: "It's too late to lose some fat now, but the old man has infinite strength, and it's not bad to fight on foot."
Where do you get your confidence?
Shen An shook his head and was about to advise, when Han Qi had already shouted proudly, "Attack and attack." ”
The coachman shouted, and the two horses pulled the cart together.
Han Qi beckoned: "Anbei, the old man is in the Chinese army, so please leave the striker." ”
"Okay."
Strikers tend to be the most dangerous, but they are also the easiest places to make a difference.
Shen An rushed to the front, Han Qi sat in the Chinese army, and the army set off in a mighty way.
In the Dingzhou Prefecture Yali, an official looked at the table that fell to the ground and said unhappily: "Isn't this table rotten a long time ago?" The old man has already said that it will be replaced, why does no one listen? ”
The officials hurriedly made amends, and the official said stupidly: "If any nobleman falls on it and falls, no one will be able to escape." ”
……
Han Qi was the man who almost hit the street, he watched the army march all the way, and he couldn't be happy.
In Baozhou, it is peaceful at the moment.
Zhizhou Lu Jie is composing poems in the yamen.
"Good poetry! Good poetry! ”
Literati need to praise poetry when composing poems, and it is best to praise them in person by big names in the industry, so that they can be hearty.
A group of subordinates were praising them, and Lu Jie stroked his beard and said humbly: "It's just ordinary......
Everyone praised it for a while, and someone said: "Zhizhou, now that the Liao people have been cleaned up by the Great Song Dynasty several times, I am afraid that our side will be as stable as Mount Tai in the future." ”
"yes!" Lu Jie said with a smile: "The Liao and the Western Xia people are fighting hard, where do they dare to be enemies of the Great Song Dynasty?" Looking back, we mainly persuade farmers and mulberries, and we also want to promote education, so that we can serve as an official and benefit one party. ”
"Zhizhou, there is a scout emergency!"
There was a hurried shout outside, and Lu Jie stroked his beard and said, "What's the hurry?" Let them go to Yuan Yao. ”
Yuan Yao is a guard, and Lu Jie feels that there is no mistake in his disposal.
"Zhizhou is smart."
"This matter should be dealt with by Yuan Yao......"
"Get out of here!"
There was an uproar outside, and then several sergeants rushed in.
"Bold!"
Lu Jie said angrily: "Take down and speak!" ”
A small official and his entourage were ready to move, and the sergeant at the head shouted: "The villain is here on the order of Han Xiang......"
……
Old Han is in battle! Where is the commuter pass?
The third is sent, good night!
