Chapter 775: Born Divine General, Commander of the Reinforcements
The majestic and vigorous military song seems to be sung by tens of thousands of strong men in unison, as if it is going to shake this fox mountain and tremble slightly. The singing also seems to have magical power, and most of the herdsmen of the Xia people have changed their faces when they hear it, and the panic is spreading among them, and at this moment, the loud singing on the south side also suddenly sounded, and the sound of the soldiers and horses singing on the eastern side of Huyan Mountain came and went: "The horsetail huqin follows the Han car, and the song is still self-complaining." Bend the bow and don't shoot the geese in the clouds, and the geese don't remember the book now......"
In the formation of Xiao Tang's three armies, Yao Pingzhong and the remaining more than 1,600 soldiers under his command also opened their mouths to chant, and the singing echoed with the soldiers and horses on the east and south sides, and became louder and louder: "The flag team is like a splendid pile, and the silver is beaten on its back." First teach to clean Anxi Road, wait for the source of the river to drink Malai, Lingwu Xiliang does not need to be surrounded, and the Fan family always waits for the king. Half of the city is Kansai species, and there are still ...... that were eaten at that time."
This military song Lu Zhishen can also sing, and Han Shizhong can also sing it, and it is precisely because of the triumphant song created by Shen Kuo, the author of Mengxi's writings, that it is widely sung by the soldiers of the Western Army in the side court. The majestic military song here was sung in unison by tens of thousands of people, indicating that the Western Army had a large number of troops to Taiyuan Mansion on Hedong Road, and set up an ambush here to annihilate all the Xia people!
If it is like the original Zhongtian Hu and Wang Qing, and Zhang Di and Wang Ze in the official history, most of the military departments of various state capitals are only greedy for power and wealth, and they are bent on stripping military rations, killing good people and risking merits, but instead they plunder and harass the localities, and force many children to obey the thieves. As a result, the thieves grew stronger, and the country was afraid of crime, so they had to deceive their superiors and subordinates to cover up their crimes, causing Tian Hu and other green forest heroes to divide one side and cultivate a climate, and the court knew that the rebellious thieves had already ceased the land and stood on their own.
But what is the concept of tens of thousands of Xia Kingdom archers and horses riding into the country, and burning and killing? If such an important matter is held accountable, the local military department and the state government officials must make it clear to the imperial court as soon as possible, and the army dispatched to come to conquer and suppress them, so that their official positions and lives can be guaranteed. It was because the imperial court knew that there were Xia thieves entering the country at the first time, and the nature of the war changed from the rebellion of the bandits in their own country to the invasion of foreign enemy chieftains.
In the letter that Xiao Tang received that day, he said that the Western Army was not far from Huyan Mountain, and the commander of the unified army also talked about the nomadic combat style of the Western Xia in the letter, and admonished that these Xia thieves who invaded and plundered were forced into the encirclement network set up by the Song army step by step. Now the formation has been formed, the north is the steep cliff of Huyan Mountain, the east and south directions are the soldiers and horses of the Western Army, the west side is the official army under the command of Xiao Tang, Rao is Xia people are all tribal herdsmen with superb riding skills, and now they want to easily get rid of the official army to highlight the encirclement, I am afraid that only the horses driven by them have a pair of wings!
The plan to encircle the Xia people's troops this time was not thought up by Xiao Tang, Xiao Jiasui and others, and now they are also in accordance with the suggestion of the commander who commanded the Western Army Brigade to come to the aid of the starry night, and led his troops to cooperate with the Western Army's encirclement strategy. In the letter, it only said that 60,000 people came to aid the Western Army, and explained to Xiao Tang the specific location of the siege plan, and did not mention which general in the Western Army served as the commander. The arrangement of encircling and ambushing the light cavalry of the Xia people in this way is also very appropriate, and Xiao Tang can't help but wonder in his heart, the commander of the reinforcements, is the famous general who shines in the official history?
At this time, the Xia tribes had also discovered that the Song army, which was approaching their troops and horses from the east and south, turned out to be the soldiers and horses of the Song State in the west who had repeatedly defeated the elite army of the Xia State, and there was an immediate commotion among the panicked horsemen. The wild man rode away and scolded angrily in the middle of the formation: "Don't panic! It's that the Song army is powerful, and it can't rush out! Before you can fight, you were forced by the enemy first, could it be that you guys are really going to be killed!? ”
Just as the Ye Chao Kui was trying to appease the people of the party tribes, suddenly a leader rode to his side at a gallop, and the head of the man looked frightened and panicked, and pointed to the Song army flag erected on the south side, and said to the Ye Chao Kui in panic: "Wild Leader Leader, look! ”
The angry Wild Rebellion looked over there, and when he looked at the number on the banner, his face changed greatly, and he almost fell off his horse, and he exclaimed, "Born a god!" It was him! ”
On the west side, on the side of the Song army under Xiao Tang's headquarters, there was already a team of soldiers of the Western Army urging their horses to gallop and go to join Xiao Tang. The general led by the commander urged the horse to gallop to the middle formation, and immediately turned over and dismounted after seeing Xiao Tang, and said to Xiao Tang: "Xiao Renxia, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect to be able to meet again here!" ”
It turned out that the general of the Western Army was the then Jingyuan Road Tong'an Zhai Soldiers and Horses Prisoner, and a few years ago he had gone to Beijing with Xiao Zhu to work with the prince, and Yang Zhi was also a Qu Duan who did not know each other. Xiao Tang also bowed to him and said with a smile: "Qu Prison Guard, this time there is a chance to fight side by side with you, can the little race be okay?" ”
Listening to Xiao Tang and the seed master, the corners of Yao Pingzhong's mouth on the side couldn't help but twitch, and Qu Duan said with a smile: "The old and young breeders were ordered to dispatch troops and horses to line up in Hengshan Shubao, although everything is complicated, the body is naturally fine. Zhi Yanye and Zhi Yanzhi brothers also led the troops and horses on the south side, and after the three armies encircled and attacked and swept away the Nagan Xia Dog, the Zhi brothers would also come to catch up with Xiao Renxia. ”
I have to say that Qu Duan's temperament is somewhat similar to Yao Pingzhong, but he can't rub sand in his eyes, and for people who don't want to be seen, Qu Duan, who is prone to villains, doesn't give the other party a good face. However, although he almost fought with Guan Sheng, Hua Rong and others before, he did not take Xiao Tang, who was favored by the official family, to get to the top in his eyes at that time, but in the Bianjing Forbidden Military Academy, the two sides competed, and the rigid and fierce Qu Duan was contemptuous of others, but it was indeed Xiao Tang's outstanding martial arts.
Now Xiao Tang's official position and title are even higher, and he is an important minister in the Privy Council, the highest military institution in the Great Song Dynasty, and this time he is also the commander of the Song army on the East Road of the River. Although Qu Duan has a rebellious temperament, he will not be rude to Xiao Tang at this time.
At this time, he listened to Qu Duan and sneered and said: "That group of summer thieves and birds, the last general has also heard that there are clansmen in Yinzhou Qiaobian Village. Straight lady thief, that tribe also has some fame, and often has to be recruited by the Xia State Military Division, and has a bloody battle with our Western Army sons in Hengshan. I thought that my Great Song Dynasty was about to dispatch soldiers and horses to fight Xia Guo again, but I didn't expect to bump into this group of pickles on Hedong Road again! This is good, I can wipe out all the men and women here, but it is the guys who invade my Song Realm and seek a way to die! ”
"Among the Xia people who entered the country and burned the money, the most evil was done by Qiaobianzhai, and this group of enemy chieftains naturally had to be eliminated."
Xiao Tang groaned, and then asked Qu Duan again: "Prison Qu, which general in the Western Army is the one who led the Western Army to aid Hedong Road this time?" ”
Listening to Xiao Tang's question, Qu Duan's face, which was originally unconvinced, clearly showed a look of admiration, and he said to Xiao Tang: "The one who commanded several troops to Hedong was also the veteran general who was famous in the western army when he was in danger, and he was deeply respected by the old and small races, and he was killed in a hundred battles to the soul of the Xia people, and he has always been a hero in the army who is not willing to emulate, and the prestige of being respected by the generals and soldiers in the western army, but he is not at all inferior to Xiao Renxia's reputation in the rivers and lakes......
Qu Duan immediately told Xiao Tang the name of the commander who came to aid the Western Army, Xiao Tang suddenly heard the words, and secretly said in his heart: The person who came turned out to be him, there are many generals in the Western Army, and many generals have emerged from generation to generation, and now it seems that Qu Duan, Wu Jue, Zhe brothers and others are low-level generals, Liu Qi, Yao Pingzhong and others are still young, and this famous general is even more famous than Yao Gu, Yao Xiong, Yang Keshi and other generals at such a time, and he is indeed a pillar of the Western Army.
