Chapter 1024 General, the last general asks for battle

Hou Mingfeng brought Lei Zhanhu to the front line, it was really helpless, but before the march, Lei Zhanhu summoned many veterans near the Beijing Division.

At this time, he planned to replace Gu Yue and lead the veteran soldiers to fight, Hou Mingfeng was angry, immediately denied it, and shouted: "Lei Zhanhu, you don't give the general a moth, the Yan army is still strong, how can you let the veteran guard the city, isn't this a slap in the face of the general?" ”

"General, the transfer of the last general's brothers and the army will only delay the transfer time of the army!" Lei Zhanhu looked ashamed, and said: "What's more, the last general and all the brothers know the pain of pain, the battle of Yancheng is inevitable, and there will be wounded, sick and disabled all day long, why not let the last general lead the troops to stay, the last general summoned the brothers to the front line, and he didn't plan to go back alive at all!" ”

"You don't plan to go back alive, but Ben will have to take you back alive!" Hou Mingfeng's tone was tough.

Today, he dared to let Lei Zhanhu lead the remnants of the army to stay in Yancheng, and he would be scolded by the whole army in the coming day, and he would be severely dealt with by the emperor.

This matter is by no means as simple as going to the front line to fight.

"There are general's words, the last general is very pleased, today, the general does not agree, the last general estimates, the brothers will not easily withdraw from Yancheng." Lei Zhanhu's tone was equally strong, and he threatened Hou Mingfeng.

For a while, the two sides couldn't hold on, Gu Yue stood up and said to Hou Ming: "General, General Lei insists on staying, it's not impossible." The last general asked to lead 10,000 Yan cavalry and defend Yancheng with General Lei! ”

Hearing this, Hou Mingfeng still said categorically: "No matter what, Lei Zhanhu and the veterans must not stay!" ”

The situation reached a stalemate, Lei Zhanhu did not speak, and no longer pleaded, turned around and walked out of the lobby, and roared a few times in the courtyard. Soon, many veterans heard the sound and gathered around them from all directions, raising their arms and shouting, "General, let us stay!" ”

"General, let's stay!"

"Lei Zhanhu, you let Lao Tzu in!" Hou Mingfeng was furious and drank wildly!

Earlier, he was threatened by Lei Zhanhu, and today, he threatened again, if it weren't for Yan Jun's tradition of treating veterans preferentially, he would definitely punish Lei Zhanhu severely.

"General, didn't you agree!" Lei Zhanhu walked into the lobby and asked Hou Mingfeng with a smile.

Muttering in his heart, secretly scolding Lei Zhanhu, Hou Mingfeng's gaze swept towards Gu Yue, Lei Zhanhu, and soon shifted to Ling Huzang and Zhuo Yuan, Ling Huzang and Zhuo Yuan nodded silently, agreeing with Gu Yue's proposal.

Helpless, Hou Mingfeng said loudly: "General Gu, General Lei, this general will leave you 30,000 fast horses, you only need to hold on for two days, after two days, no matter whether the city holds on or not, you must leave Yancheng and go to the burial horse slope!" ”

An inconspicuous small city, in the past, within half a day, the Yan army would let it change hands. Therefore, compared to the life of Yan Jun, Yancheng is nothing at all.

At this moment, Hou Mingfeng risked the crime of killing his head, and promised his personal honor, it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future. "General rest assured, the last man will be a guarantee of his head, and strive to let the brothers go back alive!" Ancient Yue Road.

Lei Zhanhu didn't say anything, he stayed, and planned that the city was in the people, the city was ruined, and he would never watch the Song army seize the territory of Dayan from his own hands.

Hou Mingfeng didn't delay any longer, hurriedly dispatched troops, and said, "General Linghu, as the vanguard, lead the army directly to Bury Mapo." General Zhuo, you are in charge of the break, and you can come out. ”

Linghu hidden, Zhuo Yuan listened to the order, hugged his fists and turned to leave, without lingering for half a moment.

Hou Mingfeng stood in front of the sand table, staring at Lei Zhanhu and Gu Yue with his eyes, and suddenly, he roared and shouted to his cronies outside the hall: "Come on, bring wine, I was going to drink with the two generals!" ”

When the cronies heard this, they hurriedly left, and soon they took the tray, two jars of aged wine, and three sea bowls, and put them on the bookcase not far away, and bowed out.

Hou Ming stepped forward, his fingers pierced the seal of the wine jar, picked up the wine jar, and poured the wine quickly.

Directly picked it up, and said to Lei Zhanhu and Gu Yue: "This bowl of wine, this general represents the people of Dayan, and respects the two generals." ”

"General, I can't help it, the last general can't afford it!" Lei Zhanhu said urgently, and Gu Yue was also shocked.

"You can't afford it, who can't afford it?" Hou Mingfeng said loudly, raised his head and drank it all.

Looking at it, Gu Yue, Lei Zhanhu grabbed the wine jar, also drank it, and said: "General, the last general respects you!" ”

Then, Hou Mingfeng picked up the second bowl of wine without hesitation and said, "This bowl of wine, this general respects all the brothers who stay in Yancheng!" ”

"The last general respects the general!" After that, the three of them raised their heads and drank from the cow.

Raising his sleeves to wipe the wine from the corner of his mouth, Hou Mingfeng picked up the third glass of wine and said: "This bowl of wine, this general will have the courage to honor the two generals and the whole army for the emperor, and the emperor will punish him in Japan, and the general is willing to confess!" ”

"General!" Lei Zhanhu, Gu Yue shouted.

They admired Hou Mingfeng's actions very much, however, Hou Mingfeng said that he would pay tribute to the soldiers of the whole army on behalf of the emperor, although it was inspiring, however, it was offensive to Tianwei.

The two of them were silent, grabbed the bookcase on the wine jar, drank it in a big gulp, and after a burst of cattle drinking, Lei Zhanhu said: "General, if there is still a time to get together with the general's army, the last general will drink with the general, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" ”

"The last general is also willing to drink with the general!" Ancient Yue Road.

Hou Mingfeng threw the sea bowl on the bookcase, patted the two of them on the shoulder, and comforted: "The matter of the conquest, the two generals bothered, Hou toasted to the two generals, and when he returned from victory, the emperor will definitely toast the two generals in person!" ”

"The last general will not dishonor the emperor's order!" The two hugged their fists.

"Two days, you only need to hold on for two days, and after two days, no matter what you give birth, you must quit completely!" Hou Mingfeng said loudly: "Otherwise, don't blame General Ben for the military law!" ”

"Yes!"

Hou Mingfeng nodded, did not linger any longer, turned around and walked outside the study.

Within two hours, Hou Mingfeng, Linghu Zang, and Zhuo Yuan led more than 100,000 Yan troops to withdraw from Yancheng.

In Gu Yue, Lei Zhanhu led the army to re-arm, striving for the small Yancheng, and built an iron bucket to block the Song army from Yancheng.

At the same time, the Song army was in the forward camp, and Yue Zhenchuan's spies found the main force of the Yan army, withdrew from Yancheng, and quickly returned to the barracks.

Yu Zhendong, Yue Zhenchuan, Han Junshan, Zhao Yanpu, these generals of the Song army, all of whom were generals under Song Qi's account, supported Song Qi to remove the empress and seize the throne.

At present, Song Qi has successfully imprisoned the empress, but the general of the Song State, Meng Kuo, and Li Mu, Liu Zhuoya and other advisers and generals are still loyal to the empress.

What's more, the general Meng Kuo was stationed in the northern part of the Song Kingdom, and Song Qi successfully imprisoned the empress, but he did not dare to kill in the court and purge the power of the ministers loyal to the empress.

However, even though there were a large number of officials loyal to the empress in the Song court, the power of the Song Dynasty should not be underestimated.

What's more, some advisers suggested to Song Qi that they should take advantage of the emptiness of Dayan and take the opportunity to expand westward, if in just a few months, annex the eastern part of Dayan.

Song Qi established military exploits in the country, and many courtiers who were loyal to the empress would definitely take refuge in him.

At the same time, Song Qi also planned to attack Dayan, and he rebelled against the empress, not only dissatisfied with the empress's rule of the Song state, but also including the empress's frequent compromise with the Yan state, causing the Song state to miss many opportunities for invasion.

Although the Song State rose quickly, it was suppressed by the Yan State, and the Song Qi was dissatisfied, and many courtiers in the Song Dynasty were also dissatisfied, so the Song Qi was sent to the north to guard the border of the Yan and Song Dynasty.

Therefore, all the generals under Song Qi's account hoped to make a difference in the Yan Kingdom soon.

Otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the more time the Yan army in the south will have to return to the north quickly, and at that time, the situation for the Song army is very unfavorable.

The spies hurriedly broke into the military tent, with a smile on his face, and hugged his fist to Yue Zhenchuan and said: "General, happy news, almost all of the Yan army that has just arrived in Yancheng has withdrawn to Bury Mapo!" ”

Hearing the sound, Yue Zhenchuan stepped forward quickly, walked in front of the spy, and asked loudly, "Are you sure?" ”

A while ago, as a pioneer, he easily captured the three counties of Yan State, since he broke into Lujiang County, the offensive gradually slowed down, and when he arrived in Yancheng, the army was blocked by the Yan army for several days.

He also knew that the Yan army would not stop in front of Yancheng because the Yan army came from the north and south to deploy defenses in Yancheng.

Yesterday, the spy reported that the main force of the Yan army in the north appeared near Yancheng, and at that time, he expected that the next battle should be very difficult.

Unexpectedly, Hou Mingfeng led the army to Yancheng, but did not take the opportunity to deploy defenses in Yancheng, but on the contrary, after a short stay, the army withdrew from Yancheng and went to Bury Mapo.

I have to say that Hou Mingfeng has rich battlefield experience and can judge the situation and make better defenses.

However, the main force of the Yan army went to bury Mapo, which meant that the Yan army gave up Yancheng and Lujiang County.

When the spy heard this, he didn't dare to hide anything, and said loudly: "General, my subordinates have seen with their own eyes, more than 100,000 Yan troops have been transferred, at present, there are not many Yan troops in Yancheng, even if there is still a large army, I am afraid that most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled." ”

"Okay, well, gather the generals immediately!" Yue Zhenchuan was overjoyed and took the opportunity to order.

The battle of Fumapo is bound to be extremely difficult, but today he must take the lead in occupying Yancheng.

In the battle of Fayan, he led the forward army to capture nearly four counties, and he deserved the first credit, and he was just around the corner.

The spy clenched his fists, nodded, and withdrew from the military tent with a respectful expression!

After the spies conveyed the military order, not long after, Yue Zhenchuan's four lieutenant generals all walked into the military tent with great momentum.

Under Yue Zhenchuan's signal, they sat on both sides of the tent.

At this time, Yue Zhenchuan did not hesitate, and told the four generals all about the movements of the Yan army and the situation in Yancheng, and his intention could not be more obvious, wanting to take the opportunity to fight and capture Yancheng in one fell swoop.

When the four lieutenant generals heard the sound, they all realized that the people left behind in Yancheng were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and it was a good time to take the opportunity to attack.

"General, the last general is invited to fight!"

"General, the last general requests, lead the cavalry under his tent, and go out quickly!"

"General, the last general will ask for battle, before sunset, capture Yancheng."

"General, the last general will ask for battle, and all the defenders in Yancheng will be annihilated."

For a time, the four lieutenant generals took the initiative to stand up and asked Yue Zhenchuan to fight, hoping to conquer Yancheng and establish military merits.
