Chapter 1125 The Song army is in danger, and there are three edicts
Zhao Jun and Bai Yisheng led the troops back to the Southern Regions City, made arrangements in the city, and determined from the secret agent that the three armies of Wu Yue and Song had not pursued, so they led the army quietly and left the Southern Regions City.
Go all the way north and pursue the main army led by Zhao Hongru!
In the middle of the Song Kingdom, Yuecheng, Hou Mingfeng led the Blue Feather Legion, stationed here for a long time, and the Song army fought repeatedly, there were casualties among each other, after Hou Mingfeng led the troops to capture Yuecheng, Meng Kuo led the troops to attack many times, looking forward to recapturing Yuecheng.
It's a pity that the continuous dispatch of troops was unsuccessful, the Song army was suppressed to the death, and Meng Kuo knew that the war was not easy, so he had to temporarily suspend the army.
At this time, the empress came with news from Kaifeng, and after Meng Kuo personally opened it, she confidently learned about the war situation in the north, and instantly shuddered, and her heart was panicked!
The letter describes that the Song State sent killers to assassinate Emperor Yan and failed, and the next day, Emperor Yan led his troops to break through Wucheng, captured the Xiongguan Pass in the north of the Song State, beheaded Li Mu, captured Tian Xu alive, and garrisoned the northern cavalry, almost losing everything.
Nowadays, the northern part of the Song Kingdom is empty, and the Yan Emperor leads the troops to drive straight in, and when the northern part of the Song Kingdom is empty, it is very likely to be threatened by the Yan army.
Reading the letter, Meng Kuo held the letter, slapped it heavily on the bookcase, his face was pale, and there was a kind of anger that could not be removed.
Wucheng is Xiongguan, which has not been broken for hundreds of years, and he dares to confront Hou Mingfeng in Lucheng, all because there is Wucheng in the north. What's more, in order to fight against the Yan army, the empress sent Tian Xu, Li Mu, and the leading Wenchen generals of the Song Kingdom, but they were easily conquered by the Yan Emperor and his army.
In the letter, there is no detailed description of the method of Emperor Yan leading his army to attack the city, but Meng Kuo was deeply aware of the serious problems faced by the Song State in the future.
The Song State spent a lot of money and invited the Wu Yue army to assist the Song army in the south, and there was a possibility of annihilating the Yan army and turning defeat into victory.
In this way, the confrontation between Yan and Song, wouldn't the Song Kingdom return to the original disadvantage?
When Meng Kuo's thoughts were immersed in anger, Guo Wanjun led the messenger in, came to Meng Kuo, and said, "General Meng, the messenger sent by the capital."
Hearing this, Meng Kuo's attention shifted to the guards beside Guo Wanjun, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Ben Jiang just received a letter from the empress, and you rode a horse and galloped here, in Kaifeng City, when was you born?"
The two letters from the capital, the interval between them was extremely short, and Meng Kuo even suspected that the empress wrote two letters in a row and handed them to two messengers, which came from the capital.
The guard looked up at Meng Kuo, didn't know how to answer, and after a little silence, he only promised: "General, there is nothing in the capital, but the empress seems to be very impatient!"
With a broad jaw, he raised his hand and motioned for the messenger to present the letter.
The guards watched it, stepped forward quickly, walked to Meng Kuo's side, took out the letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Meng Kuo.
After taking the letter, Meng Kuo tore open the letter, quickly took out the letter inside, flattened it, and browsed it in detail.
Gradually, Meng Kuo's angry expression became more and more annoyed, his eyes were red, his face was pale, and for a long time, he suddenly crumpled the letter in his hand.
shouted angrily: "Wu Jun, Yue Jun is so despicable, when it is critical, he actually draws his salary from the bottom of the kettle, isn't this to force the Song Kingdom to a dead end?"
"General, what exactly is born?" Guo Wanjun saw Meng Kuo's angry expression, and heard the mention of Wu and Yue, worried about Song Qi's war in the south, and couldn't help but ask anxiously!
Meng Kuo secretly took a breath and said coldly: "The Yan State gave up the territory south of the Yangtze River, and the Yan army stationed in the south basically withdrew to the north, which made the Yan State empty in the southern territory, causing Wu Yue and Chu soldiers to scramble for it, and Bai Yisheng and Li Lin led the army to return and assist Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun near the Southern Regions City, and severely damaged the Song King, and the Song State was in the southern army, which was instantly miserable.
At this moment, the southern war is in full swing, and in order to quickly occupy the old land of Yan State, Wu and Yue do not hesitate to violate the covenant, mobilize Wang Zhengwen, and Mu Junchen lead the troops to return south!"
When I saw the letter, I hated the withdrawal of troops from Wu and Vietnam before the battle.
Hearing this, Guo Wanjun looked surprised, the battle of Yan and Song, three battlefields, Song Qi led the army, united with the three armies of Wu, Yue and Song, and had the most hope of defeating the Yan army in the chaotic battle.
Now, Song Qi led the army to be defeated by the dog wolf army that suddenly rushed to the aid of Zhao Hongru, if the two armies of Wu and Yue led the troops to evacuate, Song Qi led the troops in the south, I am afraid that it is difficult to support alone, the situation is very difficult, a little careless, the southern army, may also be annihilated by the Yan army.
At that time, on the battlefield of Yan and Song, only the Middle Route Army remained.
If the two armies of the north and south drove straight into Kaifeng, the middle route army alone would not be able to stop the three-way army of the Yan State, and at that time, the Song State would most likely be annexed by the Yan State.
Guo Wanjun's face was pale, he was weak, and he really didn't know how to speak.
The three battlefields quickly divided the victory and defeat, so that the battle of Yan and Song gradually became clear.
No wonder Song Qi was angry, Wu Yue was treacherous, and he was born in anyone, which made people angry!
At this time, Guo Wanjun couldn't help asking: "General, what are your plans?"
The sudden change in the current situation made Guo Wanjun extremely worried.
Hearing the sound, Meng Kuo's expression was difficult to calm down, the two major armies in the north and south of the Song Kingdom were defeated, even if he had three heads and six arms, he was beyond the reach of the whip.
At this moment, being questioned by Guo Wanjun, Meng Kuo didn't have any idea.
In the entanglement, outside the military tent, a guard walked in and said, "General, Your Majesty sent an army with a large number of combat equipment, and at this moment, all of them are transported outside the gate!"
"What, Your Majesty sent an army to bring siege equipment?" Hearing the sound, Meng Kuo was surprised,
The empress sent ordnance from Kaifeng, which was really unexpected, but in the Yan and Song Dynasty battles, the Song army suffered heavy losses in combat ordnance, and now, the ordnance has been effectively replenished, for him, it couldn't be better!
Guo Wanjun's surprised face also smiled slightly.
Meng Kuo did not hesitate at all, waved his hand to Guo Wanjun and said, "General Guo, let's go, go outside and take a look!"
Without hesitation, the two of them walked out of the tent and went straight to the gate.
Almost half an hour, the imperial court sent two messengers and an official, and when Meng Kuo was moving forward, he probably guessed that the empress was anxious in Kaifeng City.
Song Guo should have the most strength to compete with Yan Guo, but unexpectedly, within a few months, all the advantages were gradually injured.
In order to insist on the Middle Route Army, the Empress sent someone to send ordnance, thinking that there was great hope for the Middle Route Army.
Meng Kuo realized how heavy the pressure was on his shoulders, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
Outside the gate, the guards in the barracks had already rushed out of the barracks and carried out strict defense, for fear that the Yan army in Yuecheng would get the news and attack quietly.
Meng Kuo raised his head and looked at the four sides of the barracks, and the empress sent people to transport a lot of ordnance, outside the gate, spreading for several miles, like a long snake.
Meng Kuo stepped forward, and the general who was in charge of transporting the ordnance stepped forward quickly and said, "General, the battle of Yan and Song, the situation is critical, and the empress sent the last general to send the ordnance!"
"General Feng, is there any ordnance similar to the Yan Kingdom's flying machine!" Guo Wanjun glanced at the chariot loaded with ordnance, stepped forward quickly, and asked Feng Zixiu!
"Of course, the craftsmen of the Song Kingdom are mature, and the ordnance that the craftsmen of the Yan Kingdom can make, the craftsmen of the Song Kingdom can still make them, not to mention, His Majesty personally painted the image, which is easy to make, and this time the last will come, carrying three thousand flying machines, two thousand iron pulleys, three thousand catapults, five siege vehicles, and fifty treadmills."
Hearing the sound, Meng Kuo, Guo Wanjun involuntarily turned around and looked at each other.
The empress sent so many ordnance, and instead of being happy, they had solemn faces.
With so many ordnance, almost all the ordnance stored by the Song State over the years was transported forward, and if this battle was lost, the Song State would have no chance to make a comeback!
However, in front of the soldiers, neither of them showed fear, Guo Wanjun laughed and said: "General Feng personally transported so many ordnance, this time, even if the Yan army is iron, he can kill all the Yan army!"
Meng Kuo didn't speak, took a long breath, and said, "General Guo, General Feng. Lucheng is very close to Yuecheng, hurry up and lead people to transfer the ordnance to the city, to prevent the Yan army from learning the news and sending cavalry to attack, then, all the empress's thoughts will be in vain!"
At this time, Guo Wanjun couldn't help but turn his head to look at the west, worried about Meng Kuo's words!
Don't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly ordered the Song army in Yuanmen to act quickly!
When the Song army spent time transferring ordnance, there were really cavalry horses coming from the west, and the Song army, which was transporting ordnance, couldn't help but look serious.
Meng Kuo hurriedly signaled to the two cavalrymen, and rode forward to intercept and find out the facts.
The two cavalrymen rode forward, and the cavalrymen who were galloping on their horses met each other, and soon they all came in the direction of the barracks.
Soon, three soldiers came on horseback, and the messenger came to Meng Kuo, jumped off his horse, and panted: "General, the big thing is not good, in the direction of Yuecheng, it seems that reinforcements from the Yan Kingdom have appeared, and they are about to enter the city."
"What, Yan State reinforcements, can you see clearly, how many people there are?" Hearing the sound, Guo Wanjun, who commanded the soldiers to transfer the ordnance bravely, stepped forward, grabbed the messenger's armor, and asked quickly!
Looking at it, Meng Kuo said coldly: "General Guo, don't be impatient, let him explain clearly!"
At this moment, Meng Kuo very much wanted to know if there were really reinforcements in the direction of Yuecheng, whether this support army was from other parts of the Yan Kingdom or from the southern part of the Song Kingdom.
If it is from the Yan State, it is very likely that it will be a temporary recruit for the Yan State, if it is from the south, most of them will defeat the Song Qi's dog and wolf army, so even if the Song army has a large number of ordnance, in the face of several times the Yan cavalry, the situation will not improve, on the contrary, it will become very difficult.
When Guo Wanjun heard the sound, he let go of the messenger, his eyes were still staring at the messenger,
The messenger didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "General Meng, General Guo, the villain has observed in detail, the army that has entered Yuecheng is at least more than 150,000, including iron cavalry, ironclad infantry, and the canine wolf legion\/"
"Are you sure you're right?" Meng Kuo asked urgently.
If the messenger's report is correct, this reinforcement stationed in Yuecheng is the army that defeated Song Qi in the south, but why did Song Qi not send back the news when hundreds of thousands of male soldiers of the southern Yan army were transferred, and why did the imperial court not send back the news.
Among them, whether there is anything greasy, Meng Kuo can't guess.
The messenger said categorically: "General, the villain can see clearly, if the general doesn't believe it, the villain is willing to guarantee with his life!" After that, I want to pull out the short sword and die Mingzhi.
Looking at it, Meng Kuo, Guo Wanjun was deeply aware that the Yan army was accumulating strength and wanted to have a decisive battle with the Song army near Yuecheng and Lucheng.
After a short silence, Guo Wanjun said without hesitation: "General Meng, the empress sent someone to send a large number of ordnance, the reinforcements of the Yan army have just arrived, and the foothold is not stable, the last general requested, control the flying machine tonight, and surprise attack the Yan army."
Although there were hundreds of thousands of Yan troops coming from the south, the situation of the Song army became extremely bad, but the empress sent people to send ordnance, especially flying machines, iron pulleys, and treadmills.
What's more, hundreds of thousands of Yan troops gathered in Yuecheng, which seemed to be a great threat to the Song army, but the Song army did not have to fight in the east and west.
Once the Yan State's forces in the north are severely damaged, the southern princes will attack it as if they had annexed the Yan State's territory in the north, and quickly disintegrate the Yan State's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
At that time, even if the north and the south entered the situation of melee among the vassal states again, the Song State had a foothold.
However, when Meng Kuo heard this, his face was serious, and he waved his hand and said: "General Guo, don't be impatient, the Yan army has a military advantage, our army has a mechanical advantage, but the Song army is not familiar with flying machines, so you can't attack rashly."
In Meng Kuo's opinion, the Song army had a large number of combat ordnance, as long as it could inflict heavy damage on the Yan army in Yuecheng, even if these siege ordnance were abolished.
However, the Yan army is not stupid, on the contrary, it is very shrewd, if the Song army wants to win with siege equipment, it must be carefully deployed, and with a surprise blow, it will completely damage the Yan army in Yuecheng and reverse the situation on the battlefield.
Hearing this, Guo Wanjun was unwilling in his heart, but Meng Kuo's words were not unreasonable.
When there was silence, Guo Wanjun said a little impatiently: "General Meng, the last general asks for orders, personally train the flying army, and strive to succeed in training in the next half month."
"This is very good, but, General Guo, the flying machine is a secret killing weapon of the Song Army, and the general must not expose it before it is put into the battlefield." Meng Kuo kindly reminded.
Guo Wanjun's jaw, Meng Kuo continued: "Now, the Yan reinforcements have arrived, just in case, the army stationed outside the city, all evacuated the barracks, and moved to Lucheng, before the training of the flying army is completed, no matter whether the Yan army is attacking or not, it must resist the city and defend it, and fight the Yan army rigorously."
He hopes to strive to be able to make the flying army, ground treadmills, and iron sluggers cooperate closely in combat.
As long as the three of them are in the battlefield, they can form a linkage, no matter how strong the Yan army's iron cavalry is, and when they encounter the Song army, all the advantages will be difficult to come out.
"Rest assured, the general will strictly order the three armies to leave the city." Guo Wanjun also knows the meaning of Mengkuo's words!
Yuecheng, Lucheng direction, Yan and Song armies fought, victory and defeat, will completely change the pattern of Yan and Song countries, Guo Wanjun did not dare to be careless.
As long as the Song army succeeds, no matter how strong and domineering the Yan army was before, it will eventually bow down to the Song State under the armament.
At this time, Meng Kuo's gaze shifted to the messenger in front of him, and said: "No matter what you did before, you are fully responsible for the recent reconnaissance of the Yan Army, remember, you must control all the movements of the Yan Army. We must not allow the Yan army to make a surprise attack."
"Yes!" The messenger clenched his fists and said solemnly,
