Chapter 177: The New Gathering Besieged
There was no need for torture, and the sharp short knife on his neck quickly made him succumb, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and told him what he knew. ()
"So that's the case, you are chasing a fleet of Song troops, and you came here to block the entrance to the sea, in order to wait for Zhu Qing's reinforcements, not an ambush arranged by Zhang Hongfan, so do you know where Zhang Hongfan's fleet is?"
"Does Zhang Hongfan have a ship? The warships of the Yuan Army Navy Division were based on the pirates of Zhu Da, Baba, and Zhu Qing, who were the eight lambs of the king, and joined the Song Army Navy ships that surrendered from all walks of life, and later received part of the troops of Pu Shougeng's devil in Quanzhou, and only then did they have more than 700 warships. ”
Wang Kui looked at Zhao Tianyou's hesitant back, nervous and uneasy, Zhao Tianyou's grappling technique just now was very ingenious, and his whole body was soreness and numb at that time, but he recovered after lying on the ground for a while.
Zhao Tianyou admired the twist of fate a little in his heart, it was arranged so wonderfully, the general of the Song army warship who escaped, as long as he had a trace of courage to turn back to meet the enemy, maybe the battlefield of this epic duel would be changed to another place.
And he was attracted by Wang Kui's troops, and now he doesn't know whether it's right or wrong, looking at the neatly assembled Great Song warships on the sea, with the power of new victories, even the ships seem to be full of morale, Zhao Tianyou can't find a reason for them to be defeated again.
At this time, the water flow at the mouth of the sea gradually slowed down and steadily, and the fleets of the Song army began to sail in hand with each other, and the warships with fluttering flags filled the entire water surface, heading towards Xinhui County.
Zhao Tianyou's eyes turned, and a faint smoke rose from a long distance, it was Xinhui County, fifty miles away, could it be that Li Heng's team had arrived? Has the Song army already begun to attack the county seat? Just as Zhao Tianyou was contemplating and thinking, Wang Kuixin took out another knife from his foot and neck, jumped up behind Zhao Tianyou's back, and the tip of the knife shining with cold light went straight into his heart.
The sound of the wind behind his ears moved slightly, and Zhao Tianyou took a step forward in an instant, turned to face Wang Kui, who was holding a short knife in the air, and sneered at him a few times.
"Hmph, you guy has a lot of sins, I don't know how many poor people you have bullied, there should be people like you in the world. It's a pity that God has no eyes now, and I can't thunder you in the sky, so I'll act for God and send you back to the West! ”
"What the fuck are you talking about, you turtle grandson will die for me!"
Wang Kui's courage with a knife in his hand has greatly increased, and the nature of the outlaw has the upper hand, and he has long forgotten that he has long forgotten that he fell to the ground just now and was unable to resist, and only one thought was to stab the person in front of him as soon as possible, and then continue to flee.
Leaned forward and continued to stab Zhao Tianyou with a knife, but suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and when the white knife and the red knife were about to come out in front of him, Zhao Tianyou disappeared in front of him, and when he was stunned, the back of his neck was tightened and was grabbed by someone.
The strength of his body was drained again, tears and snot flowed together, the arm holding the knife hung down weakly, Wang Kui's mouth quickly surrendered and begged for mercy: "Brother Hao, I know some of Zhu Qing's secrets, I didn't have time to say it!" ”
Zhao Tianyou didn't listen to his nonsense at all, and squeezed his hand harder.
"Click." With a crisp sound, Wang Kui's neck was broken, and the corpse that was still pouring gas was thrown down the hillside.
Zhao Tianyou guessed well, Li Heng's vanguard had already arrived outside Xinhui County, and happened to meet a team of patrols under He Yongfei and fought in Wuliting Village. The Song army had only 500 men, but they withdrew into the village and held on, and with the help of some civilians, the Yuan cavalry could not capture it for a while.
However, this was only the vanguard of the first batch of 10,000 cavalry, and as the Yuan army brigade arrived one after another, the Song army in Wuliting Village was besieged by regiments, and in the case of casualties, it could only set fire to the houses in the village to warn.
When the cavalry vanguard general Agudammu arrived at Wuliting Village, this elite cavalry of the lineage had already completed the slaughter of the village, and more than 100 villages were killed, mixed with the corpses of 500 Song soldiers, and the ignited fire had begun to spread, just to hold a cremation for these lives who died tragically today.
"Report to the general, there are still five miles away from Xinhui County, and the Song army here has been wiped out, please decide!"
Agudamu waved his hand and called the vanguard officer over and said, "Who told you to set the fire?" Isn't it appropriate for us to camp in this village, it's all fucking burned down, and the handsome man doesn't even have a safe house to settle down in. ”
"General, it was these Song soldiers who ignited it themselves."
"You're not going to put out the fire and keep a few houses, are you stupid? Okay, let's move on, and when you come across the right village, do you know what to do? ”
The vanguard officer touched his head and said with a grin: "Knowing the general, the men are killed, the women are left, and the houses are left, right?" ”
"Well, roll forward for me!"
The vanguard officer received the order and continued to explore the road with 2,000 cavalry, and Agudamu led the army to follow slowly, sending small teams to some important junctions and hills, searching everywhere for possible Song troops or township troops.
Li Heng's fleet had a lot of twists and turns along the way, but finally arrived near Xinhui smoothly, there are two small islands in the river, named East and West Xiongzhou, which are far away from the wharf of Xinhui County, and the distance is only a few miles.
Li Heng's two armies have arrived in Xinhui, but they have not yet established contact with Zhang Hongfan, and he is still a little hesitant about the small county town of Xinhui. According to his original intention, he should pass through the Xinhui territory as quickly as possible, rush to the vicinity of Yashan and jam the estuary, so as to prevent the Song army from entering the inland and escaping for their lives.
Since He Yongfei arrived in Xinhui County, he has been drinking and drinking all day long, and he went to Guangzhou as a pioneer but fled here. With this mentality, the control of the subordinate army was lax, and after getting drunk, it became more irritable and irritable, and the morale of the soldiers under his command was already unstable, and there were many incidents of desertion.
Fortunately, Li Sihui of Xinhui County ordered Li Sihui to be a general who returned to his hometown, and temporarily exercised military power for He Yong's flight, otherwise there would not be a patrol of 500 people out of the city to guard, which could block the Yuan army for a period of time in advance, and alert the city in advance.
After Li Sihui received the report from Wuli Pavilion, he had already made preparations in advance, and the main forces of the rural army in the city had boarded the city wall, preparing to defend the Yuan soldiers attacking from afar. Fifty tiger-headed warships were moored on the dock outside the city, and they were not prepared for battle at all, which could not be blamed on Li Sihui's negligence, although he could dispatch the Song army, but after all, He Yongfei was still on the ship and was still the main general.
More than 300 Yuan soldiers and warships docked at the East and West Xiongzhou, which was equivalent to blocking the passage of the Song army from Xinhui County to the south into the sea, and He Yongfei was still drinking at this time.
"General, don't make peace, the Yuan soldiers surround us!"
He Yongfei smiled and said, "I know, but they don't dare to come in, this is under the jurisdiction of my Great Song Dynasty, hahaha!" ”
"Hey, it's been miles away, General, wake up!"
