Chapter Eighty-Three: Cowardly as a Mouse
Prosperity is just the prosperity of Lin'an City.
Zhao Rui led the team all the way north, and saw a lot of fleeing homeless people along the way, they had yellow muscles and thin clothes and did not cover their bodies, but they did not dare to go in the direction of Lin'an, it is said that Lin'an City does not accept homeless people, if they are caught, they will be killed.
Yan Shu rode a tall horse, holding his head high, he couldn't imagine that he who didn't know anything about martial arts and the art of war would have a day to lead the army to go on the expedition, thinking that this musket team was strong and strong, Yan Shu couldn't help but want to laugh, and when he expelled the Tartars and made great achievements, then he would definitely be greatly rewarded by the Taishi!
When the time comes, who will have their own scenery inside and outside the court?
did what others couldn't do, and repelled the powerful Tartar soldiers, it is estimated that Yan Shu will soon become a figure at the level of the god of war in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Rui also rode a tall horse next to Yan Shu, because most of the musketeers were infantry, so the war horse was just pacing.
This strict technique, how can you laugh so well? Could it be that he thought of something good that could not be done?
Zhao Rui had an idea and decided to tease him.
"Lord Yan, I see a lot of weight in the back, I don't know which car the ** projectile is on?"
One sentence turned Yan Shu's face green, and Fang Cai's good mood suddenly ran out of the clouds.
"What did you say?"
Yan Shu's arms tightened the reins, and the war horse stopped abruptly.
"Zhao Rui, aren't you kidding, aren't all the ammunition you bring yourself, when will you ask the Ministry of War to provide ** projectiles? I watched all these quarters loaded, and there was no ammunition at all! ”
"Hey, Lord Yan, I only have training ammunition here, a few hundred rounds at most, which is not enough for combat use at all!"
Zhao Rui also stopped with Le Ma, with an extremely frightened look on his face, and Yan Shu's heart also became flustered.
"Zhao Rui, what's the matter with you! As the commander of the Musketeers, don't you know to report to the military headquarters in advance? What should we do now, what will we use to fight in Chuzhou City! ”
Yan Shu's face was fierce, and he already hated Zhao Rui in his heart.
What should I do, the before the expedition has been blown down, and the officials of the same level in the past all looked at themselves with envy, envying that they had such an easy opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and this is also the trust of the Taishi that they have worked so hard to get, how to go back?
Now that most of the journey has been traveled, and the city of Chuzhou is close at hand, if you turn back at this time, not to mention the guilt of delaying the military plane, won't you be laughed at by the government and the opposition?
Who knew that Zhao Rui was not ashamed at all, and shouted with his chest straight: "Lord Yan, let's not talk nonsense, the whole army knows that you are guarding the armory under the order of Master Jia, so naturally you are responsible for the matter of firearms and ammunition, if I interfere, won't it seem that I have no officials?" ”
The two stopped, and everyone heard Zhao Rui's shouting again, and the entire army stopped.
What the? No ammo?
All the soldiers surrounded them and complained about Yan Shu.
"Lord Yan, if you don't have any ammunition, you let us spank it!"
"That's it, give you all the bullets, you go and shoot!"
"We can't go any further, we have to go back!"
Yan Shu's face turned pale for a while, and he said sternly: "No, escaping from the battle is a capital crime, and I will kill whoever escapes!" ”
Yan Shu's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
Originally, the guns were distributed according to half of the number, and the soldiers had long been sulking in their hearts, but now Yan Shu's two hundred and five ammunition was not prepared for the musketeers!
Now that he wants to go back and refuses to let him, do you want so many people to follow him to death!
I don't know where the team is, someone secretly said: "If you want to kill, I will kill you first!" ”
"Yes, Yan Shu is derelict in his duties, we can all testify!"
Yan Shu was finally a little scared and panicked.
Yes, in the face of death, these people will not be afraid of any military law at all, and besides, most of them are people without families, so it is easier to force them to mutiny.
If it is really a mutiny, then as a general, going back must be a capital crime of killing the head! Mutiny and rebellion, this is simply the rebellion of the emperors of the Song Dynasty, and the rules have long been established.
Zhao Rui has been paying attention to the change in Yan Shu's expression beside him, his flustered appearance is about to kill Zhao Rui to death, but he still has to pretend to be serious in front of everyone, and it feels really hard.
Yan Shu even showed a look of help to Zhao Rui at this time.
Almost, Zhao Rui thought, after all, it was when the soldiers didn't know about the real guns and fake guns, and if they really didn't dare to move forward, Zhao Rui couldn't deal with it.
"That's it! Everyone will listen to me when the time comes! I'll keep you safe, and I'll be able to give the Tartars a hard blow! ”
Yan Shu wiped his cold sweat, and felt that Zhao Rui was better able to blow, if he was so shadowless, he would not be able to sit down with such a guarantee anyway.
Now that Zhao Rui has spoken, the soldiers are all stunned, although they are still a little skeptical, but after all, Zhao Rui's reputation in the army is still in full swing, Zhao Gong and Fang Hongbin are Zhao Rui's people, not to mention, it is the pork that Zhao Rui bought at his own expense every day, which also moved the vast majority of the soldiers deeply.
Zhao Rui is the real commander in their hearts, as for Yan Shu, hehe, fart.
With Zhao Rui's guarantee, the army continued to march, but Yan Shu's mood was already rotten like shit.
No ammunition, really go to death?
Yan Shucai didn't believe what Zhao Rui just said, the words of his superiors were perfunctory, but Yan Shu had heard too much, and even he didn't know how much he had said.
"Lord Zhao, tell me the truth, what should we do next? Without the musket, we'd be killed by a single arrow from the Tartars! Yan Shu looked left and right, and his voice couldn't be lower, for fear of being heard.
Zhao Rui smiled, such an honest strict technique is really rare.
"How can you still laugh, we might all die!" Yan Shu was really anxious.
"Hey, it's not as serious as Lord Yan said, it's just some Tartars, a few hundred bullets are enough to scare them, maybe it will scare them all!"
Zhao Rui said lightly, clamped the horse's belly, and walked to the front of Yan Shu.
It's over, I didn't expect Zhao Rui to be so unreliable.
If Zhao Rui was also anxious just now, Yan Shu might be able to feel more at ease, but the more Zhao Rui didn't care, the more Yan Shu felt that these people were going to die.
Muskets can't scare the Tartars at all, there were assault muskets and thunderbolts or something before, and they weren't beaten by the Tartars and killed people?
Yan Shu fell in the second half of the team, and his heart was extremely entangled, feeling that every time he got close to Chuzhou City, he was more tormented!
The team suddenly stopped, and Yan Shu instinctively was startled.
Zhao Gong rode his horse to Zhao Rui's side: "Young master, the Yuan army that was besieging the city was found in front, ranging from a few hundred to thousands, because I was afraid of being discovered, I didn't dare to get too close!" ”
Zhao Rui didn't pay attention to this at all, he wanted to go to the city tower to set up M249 now, and shoot to see the Tartars flying flesh and blood!
"Vanguard! Come with me and see! ”
The Kunnu brought by Zhao Rui were incorporated into the vanguard, and when they heard Zhao Rui's call, they rode horses and guns one by one, and lined up in front of Zhao Rui.
It was understandable that Zhao Gong and a few scouts did not dare to step forward just now, but Zhao Rui had more than 30 people and firepower support, of course, he had no fear.
"Zhao Tong, are you really going?"
Yan Shu thought that the Tartar was close ahead, and his voice trembled uncontrollably, and he didn't have the confident appearance when he went out on the expedition.
"Yes, Lord Yan, why don't you go with us and see how I beat the Tartar to the ground!" Zhao Rui talked and laughed, but Yan Shu was frightened, and hurriedly waved his hands.
"No, no, I'm not used to riding horses, so let's go!"
Yan Shu stared at the frightened eyes, thinking in his heart that Zhao Rui was designated as a madman, how to fight against the Yuan army when the ammunition was insufficient, they were superb in horsemanship, and they would definitely not be able to escape if they wanted to escape, in case they brought the Tartars over again, I am afraid that these people would be buried with them. Yan Shu was so frightened that his legs became weak, how could he follow Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui immediately ordered Zhao Rui and others to take out more than 1,200 toy guns, and then drove the carriage directly to Chuzhou City.
More than 1,000 guns were piled up on the ground so casually, and no one dared to step forward to get them without a strict order.
Yan Shu dismounted, pacing back and forth anxiously, looking in the direction of Chuzhou City from time to time.
Zhao Rui has been gone for a long time, why hasn't there been any movement at all......
Zhao Rui and they traveled two miles in a big way, but they didn't find any strength of the Yuan army, and the side also reflected that the Tartars are now very arrogant and optimistic, and they don't care if there are any reinforcements in the Southern Song Dynasty, if there is, kill it!
Zhao Rui didn't see the big white tent of the tartar from afar until he reached the back of a small earthen bag.
Zhao Rui stood on the carriage and found a telescope to observe the enemy's situation, which was also inadvertently discovered during the inventory, and it was estimated that it was a gift from Boss Wang.
What was usually thrown aside now came in handy, Zhao Rui frowned as he observed, not because of the large number of Tartars, but because they were too scattered.
The main force of the Tartars is obviously at the north gate, and these Tartars in the south obviously play a role of encirclement, which can give early warning and prevent people in the city from escaping.
I guess it's more than 500 people.
Zhao Rui thought of the battle plan while assigning the spare ** to everyone.
I found ten soldiers and divided them into two teams, and asked them to go to the opposite city wall to ambush on both sides of the city wall first, and wait for Zhao Rui's shooting signal, and then they rode towards Zhao Rui on horseback, and they could gather these Tartars together.
When the time comes, the remaining 20 people will be able to pour ammunition at will, and ensure that the Tartars are cool to the sky.
Zhao Rui's side had to prepare for a while, but there was no movement for a long time, and Yan Shu's side was getting more and more unable to hold his breath!
"Lord Yan, I propose to give guns to the soldiers, let's go together to give Zhao a helping hand!" Fang Hongbin was a little anxious, and stepped forward to urge Yan Shu.
"you, it's not messy enough! Get out of the way! ”
Yan Shu lingered for a while, gathered all the soldiers, and wanted to speak.
Everyone's hearts are hot, and the battle is about to begin! Even Fang Hongbin was happy in his heart, and he could go to help Zhao Tongzhi later!
