8. Wu Yi marching song

Wu Yijun now has a "word board" in each team, which was first invented by the monks of the southeast Zen forest, and was promoted to the army or Baojia village community.

The soldiers hugged their knees, placed their weapons and small flags for drills on one side, and kept their eyes on the boards.

The young martial artist pointed to the word board, held chalk made of chalk in his hand, and wrote down a large number of words, just one or two lines:

"Nishihara is rebellious."

Then the martial artist told the soldiers to read it, and then explained to them:

"Xiyuan Man, thirty years ago, committed heinous crimes against the people of Daozhou."

Wu Daosheng wrote an excerpt of Yuan Jie's article on the word board again:

"The thieves in the west of the year entered Daozhou, burned, killed and plundered, and almost left. Next year, the thieves attacked Yong (Zhou) and broke Shao (Zhou). ”

At this time, the soldiers all understood that the Xiyuan barbarians continued to attack and harass the prefectures and counties of Hunan and Qianzhong, killing and plundering the assets of their compatriots, so the martial arts student wrote down the words "human beings and things" again, telling the soldiers that the people of Hunan are also our compatriots, and the assets of the people of Hunan are also our assets, and now they are slaughtered and robbed by the barbarians, which is a shame for us as soldiers.

"Kill the thief, save my compatriots!" One soldier immediately threw his arms and shouted, and the other soldiers were all indignant, and they all responded in response.

"Sons, when the time comes, go to Lingnan West Road and kill the enemy fiercely, don't forget that you are all the best shooters and grenadiers of Wei Guogong!" And then there was a lot of clamour.

In the towering Zicheng military office in Shugang, Gao Yue received a formal "borrowing letter" from Wang Qizhen and Bai Liangqi, saying that as long as Gao Yue nodded, they were willing to "roll up the armor and abandon the fortress and surrender their lives", so they decided to dispatch the Wuyi army, so they called Guo Zaizhen and Ming Huaiyi, two generals, "The quarrying army is 3,500, and the garrison is facing me and Zhou Liyang; The Danyang army has 5,000 troops, and it is on the side of the heart of Li Qi's army. The two generals, Wang and Bai, are willing to welcome our Wuyi army across the river to fight against the rebellion, and the front line will attack, so I will hand it over to the two of you. ”

Ming Huaiyi was naturally not a problem, but Guo Zaizhen still hesitated and asked the court what to say.

Gao Yue told him directly: "The news of the imperial court, Du Huangshang, Lu Zhen, and Han Hui were deposed on the same day, and the envoys who announced the return of the Dao to the dynasty are afraid that they have passed the Tong Pass. ”

Guo Zaizhen was stunned for a moment, and then said in an instant that this must be a traitor in the court, and Li Qi is the inside and outside of each other.

Gao Yue nodded, then took the hands of the two of them, choked up and said, "Regarding Li Qi's crimes, the Xuanrun Prefecture Thorn History has prepared a legato pleading, and he will explain it clearly to the Holy Lord and the world, but now he must continue to indulge Li Qi's misdeeds and let him achieve his wings, and it will be even more difficult to discuss it at that time, so he must not hesitate to go out." This way is the same fate as you, if this matter is successful, Du Huangsheng, Lu Zhen and other virtuous people will be able to show the snow; If not, the world will be dominated by jackals from now on. ”

The two generals immediately expressed their attitude, Guo Zaizhen commanded the infantry, and Ming Huaiyi commanded the cavalry, and immediately went to Liyang Port to board the ship, and under the response of Wang Qizhen, the soldiers came to the stone city.

At this time, Gao Yue bowed his head, and then instructed them face-to-face:

To the stone city do not need to attack, first choose a convenient terrain to build a base, the Jingkou and the stone city are only two hundred miles apart, each other is the horns, Li Qi does not dare to slack off, will inevitably come to fight for the stone city, then Ming Huaiyi led the cavalry to ambush, invite it to rob and kill, Danyang army soldiers and horses make Bai Liangqi will respond to our army.

"Daddy, is it enough to dispatch three thousand martial arts troops?" Ming Huaiyi was a little worried about the military power.

Gao Yue smiled and said that it was enough:

Most of the Wu Yi army is the elite of the battle, and the first three months have been in practice, and the skills are proficient, and the town navy since Han Jin Gong was killed, divided and merged, Li Qi after his arrival and wantonly withheld and stripped the army of food and clothing, resulting in lax combat readiness and unfamiliar drills, which is a victory for our side;

The three armies of Wu Yijun, left, center, and right, are inseparable, neatly aligned, such as arms and fingers, and are equipped with artillery guns and iron horses, and the tactics are new, and Li Qi is still superstitious about what is hard, and what is entangled is just the death of the rivers and oceans, and it has long been behind the times, and our side has won two victories;

Since the success of the Huainan Cai, Guang, Shou, Lu, Shu, and the five prefectures in painting the scriptures last year, their incomes have increased greatly, the amount of Hudou rice collected has increased by more than 300,000 stones, and the cash collected for cloth has increased by nearly 250,000 yuan.

With our three victories, against Li Qi's three inferiorities, he should be invincible, like a stone hitting an egg, and the momentum is like splitting a bamboo.

Hearing the analysis of the festival marshal, Guo Zaizhen and Ming Huaiyi were like an enlightenment, and they took the order in high spirits.

After nightfall, the camp of Wu Yi's left army at the south entrance of the Guanhe River in Yangzhou suddenly sounded horns, and the battalion commanders of the first ten battalions all received the "secret text" sent by the clerk of the Sanya, which read:

The dial was made that night, and the destination was Yangzi Town.

Eight battalions of infantry, plus two battalions of cavalry, were ready and assembled after an hour, and then left the camp and galloped to the town of Yangzi.

Guo Zaizhen and Ming Huaiyi respectively took over the command of the infantry and cavalry, and then changed the order:

Instead of boarding the ship at Yangzi Town, the whole army went west to Liyang, Hezhou to board the ship.

At dawn, a group of soldiers of the Wuyi Left Army, carrying spears and firearms, armor and quilts, quickly received new orders and marched towards the direction of Liyang without wavering.

At this time, ninety percent of the people thought that they should board the big ship at the destination and go to eastern Zhejiang and Fujian, and then they should go to Lingnan and Guangdong Jinglufu, ready to conquer the caves in the western plains!

When the team left the Yangzhou Liuhe Realm, the sky was already bright, and at this time, several martial arts students holding Sutie swords ran to the front of the team, and then shouted: "To Hezhou Liyang, how many miles are there?" ”

"A hundred miles!"

"A hundred miles!"

Countless mouths, passing each other down at once.

Then the drums and flutes began to sound rhythmically.

The soldiers' faces reflected the morning light, puffed out their cheeks, and sang in unison:

"Copper-colored camellia ornaments,

The mountain wind blows vigorously in Shugang,

Wei Gongerlang is all brave,

Serve the field like a rainbow,

Four-foot spear dog blood,

Three-stone cannon bones,

Pixiu chews the iron battle flag and raises the flag,

Temper the soul of martial arts,

Infantry cannon riding majestic and prosperous,

The west and the north of Xinjiang are vertical and horizontal,

The three armies gathered four hundred,

Pillow and wait for the real battlefield ......"

This unstoppable iron flow broke through the Baili Road two days later and entered the territory of Liyang in Hezhou.

Gao Yue also deliberately asked Zhang Xi, the original guest general of the town navy, to follow, and was responsible for liaising with Wang Qizhen's people.

In the end, Wang Qizhen's people told Guo Zaizhen, Ming Huaiyi and Zhang Xi:

On the coming day, you will cross the river by boat, and the quarrying army will set up bonfires and flags on the other side of Bowang Mountain to meet you.

Originally, the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Wu Yi's left army could cross the Wujiang River in the northeast of Hezhou, but Gao Yue's strategy was to first seize the gateway to the west of Stone City, cut off Li Qi's control over the three prefectures of Xuan, She, and Chi, and cut off one of his arms, and then after receiving assistance here, he would attack Stone City in front of the palace.
