Chapter 82: Fast as an Arrow (2)

Hearing this, not only that person, but even Du Shu was shocked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, seeing that it was getting late, I thought that the troops had stopped to find a place to camp.

Suddenly, the man stumbled and shouted, "Excuse me, if we go on the night road again, we will all be tired to death." Are you going to persuade that you can't go anymore, you can't go again! ”

Several other Weizhou officials also complained at the same time, all of them said, Brother Yue, Wang Daosi is only willing to listen to you, you have to say something!

As he spoke, the sky suddenly darkened, and the winter night came so quickly.

Du Shu was so entangled by everyone that he couldn't do it, and he was really tired, so he had to nod and force his spirit to find Wang Shen in the team.

I saw that Wang Shenzheng took off his shoes and socks and wiped his feet with a linen cloth.

When he saw Du Shu, he smiled and said: "Brother Yue, after walking for a day and a night, so-and-so's shoes are full of water, and you must be the same, come and come, wipe it, otherwise your feet will be soaked." "It's a hassle to get enough trenches.

Du Shu explained his intention and said, "Daosi, it's already dark this day, is the army going to rest for a night?" Don't worry, if the left-behind division is investigated, everything will be with me! If my surname is Du, I will also give me some thin noodles. ”

Wang Shen shook his head and said firmly: "Soldiers regard obedience as their duty, and since the Left-behind Division asked our army to rush to Majiadu within a day, I have to carry it out." Even if the leg is broken and the unit is broken, the task must be completed to the letter. Okay, let's discuss it, I'll be in charge of military affairs, and you won't interfere. ”

Seeing that his expression was serious, he didn't have the kind feeling of a spring breeze in the past. Suddenly, Du Shu felt that Wang Daosi in front of him was so unfamiliar.

Du Shu is kind and angry, he is a person who likes to compromise, seeing that he is not convinced by Wang Shen, he can only retreat to the second, and said in a consultative tone: "Daosi, other sergeants are okay, after all, they work the school field every day." Those of us who came from Weizhou were all old, and our blood and qi had failed, and we couldn't walk at all. Why don't you let me and them stay and come back tomorrow morning to catch up with the troops?" Just give us a few tents, do you think that's going to work? ”

Supposedly, this request is not too much, and I think he will agree.

However, Wang Shen shook his head: "No, Deputy Commander Du, don't forget, you are also an officer of my Sizhou battalion now." The order from above is that the entire Sizhou battalion will be pulled out and the former army will join up with the old camp to rebuild, and none of you will be missing. ”

He raised his eyebrows, and his sharp gaze fell on Du Shu: "Deputy Commander Du, this day and night of rapid marching, how many of you have mules and horses to ride, and soldiers on their backs, and you still can't walk?" Don't leave anyone behind, otherwise military law will be engaged? ”

His gaze was so bright that it was as if he had been stabbed with a knife. A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and at this time, Du Shu remembered that this Wang Daosi was a tiger warrior who was charging into battle in Huaixi and taking the head of the enemy general in a million army.

Du Shu was suddenly annoyed and shouted, "General Wang, I don't understand, why are you in such a hurry, why bother?" ”

Wang Shen: "Because of the war, because the military situation is like fire." The Jurchens will not fight our army in a dignified manner at the prescribed time and place, and they may cross the river at any time. The situation of the war is changing rapidly, how can it be delayed? ”

Du Shu: "Okay, even if we want to fight now, we people are powerless, and we can't help you when we go to the battlefield, so why do you have to bring us over?" ”

"Because you are also military officers, and you also have the responsibility to fight for the country and the nation, the reason is as simple as that. I've made up my mind, and you don't need to say more. Wang Shen waved his hand: "Stand down!" ”

"I'm not leaving!" Du Shu was so angry that his chest couldn't help but rise and fall.

When Wang Shen saw him like this, he was amused in his heart: This Du Youzhi is really a child's temper! However, this person is well-thought-out and can be trusted. In this battle, he is a key figure, and with him, I am not afraid of being robbed of my credit.

Yes, this is the reason why Wang Shen is bent on bringing Du Shu and others to Majiadu.

In fact, no one knows better than him, the traverser, what will happen tonight.

According to real historical records, in the third year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, on November 16, the main force of the Jiankang Left-behind Division knew that the Jin army had arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, thinking that the fatigue of the Jin puppet army Li Chengbu could be eliminated, so he sent all the main forces to cross the river for a decisive battle. The battle was in full swing, and the Jurchen brigade led by Wushu arrived and joined forces with Li Cheng's army, and the Song army was defeated and fled back in a hurry. fled back, but left some of the ships behind for the Jin army.

On the night of the 17th, the Jurchens took advantage of the boats abandoned by the Song army and began to cross the river and rushed straight to Majiadu. wanted to take advantage of the new defeat of the Song Dynasty army, demoralization, and negligence to take precautions, and sneak attack the old camp left behind.

Hearing that the ferry port was attacked, Du Chong hurriedly ordered his generals Wang Min and Zhang Chao to lead the army to counterattack.

Both of them were veterans of the Western Army, with rich combat experience, and after Zong Ze's training, they occupied favorable terrain and repelled the Jurchen attack, and won a lot.

This was also the biggest and only victory of the Song army in the defense of Jiankang.

After the war, Du Chong was ecstatic and rewarded the two generals.

It's a pity that on the next third day, the Jin army lined up on the river, pretending to retreat, the Southern Song army was deceived and the defense was lax, and the Jin army spies learned that the Southern Song army was unprepared, so they took 20 boats across the river at night to attack and take Majiadu in one fell swoop.

Then, the army left behind completely collapsed, and Jiankang fell.

The reason why Wang Shen wanted to arrive at Majiadu before tonight was to snatch this great credit from Wang Min and Zhang Chao through the foresight of the traverser. Then, firmly guard the ferry and prevent the Jurchens from crossing the river.

According to real historical records, this battle was not very difficult.

The enemy grabbed only twenty boats, which could transport only a thousand soldiers at a time. The Majiadu ferry port was all hilly, and the Song army only needed to occupy these strategic points and shoot with the divine arm bow to drive the enemy into the water.

This time, Wang Shen was also ready to win this battle with the tactics recorded in the history books.

In this way, not only can he get this miraculous feat, but also ensure the safety of the military and civilians in Jiankang City.

His only concern is that he has a low status and has no background. No matter how much credit you make, you will be divided by your boss if you don't say it well.

Besides, Du Chong, a dog traitor, is not so easy to get along with.

Pingyuan Town retreated from the enemy, and Anhe's merit in beheading Li Yu was not insignificant, but as a result, the imperial court did not have any rewards. This time, I can't do this kind of thing of making wedding clothes for others anymore.

As long as Du Shu is there, he is Du Chong's clansman. Even if others want to compete for merit, they will have concerns.

This is also the reason why Wang Shen was bent on getting the hated Du Youzhi under him as a deputy commander, which he had already thought about when he knew that there was such a person.

This time he came to Jinling, Wang Shen not only wanted to keep this historical city, but also to get what he wanted, that is, the official position.

Just imagine, if someone wants to rob the Sizhou Army of credit, can Du Youzhi, the deputy commander, not jump up and scold his mother? He Wang Shen was promoted to become wealthy, and Du Shu was naturally indispensable.

When the time comes, as long as Du Youzhi comes out, he will scold you if he can't kill you.

So, he is the key to this battle, how can he be allowed to stay in the rear?

The snow is still falling, gradually joining into a curtain of snow. The Jurchens hate heat and like cold, and such weather is best for them.

It's just that I don't know how far away from Majiadu is now, can the Sizhou army catch up with this great achievement?

When will this damn muddy road come to an end?

"Gu Lie, how's it going?"

Wang Shen fell his gaze on Gu Dutou, who was covered in mud, Gu Lie didn't know how many times he had fallen this day and night, and the iron armor on his body was full of mud, just like the fenders of a car that had just been drilled out of the mud.

Gu Lie's stiff face as hard as a rock showed an excited look, and the long centipede-like scar on his face jumped suddenly: "General, Ma Jiadu seems to have arrived." ”

"What seems to be, when it arrives, it arrives, and if it doesn't, it doesn't arrive."

Gu Lie turned around and pointed to the small hill to the west: "The general will go up and take a look." ”

At that moment, Wang Shen didn't care to ask too many questions, slipped three times in one step, and climbed up the hill with all his strength, and Du Shu followed closely behind.

As soon as I got to the top of the hill, I saw a light in front of me. Everyone exhaled in a low voice, and even Wang Shen, a modern person, was shaken.

It's so spectacular, it's a sea of lights.

But I saw that all I could see was a complex of lights, spreading out among the plains and hills below, facing west. Some places are dense, some places are sparse, round or square, and they are connected by strips of light, which makes Wang Shen return to modern society in a trance, and is watching the night view of the city from a high place.

That's right, this is the camp of the Jiankang Left-behind Division led by Du Chong. The total strength of the army reached 30,000, divided into two large battalions of the front army and the middle army, separated by more than ten miles.

The Chinese army was in the far west, with only 10,000 horses, and it occupied a smaller area.

The front army was at the feet of Wang Shen and others, with 20,000 soldiers and horses, which was where Du Chong stayed behind and where the division was located, and the territory was very large.

The two camps were close to the Yangtze River, and the lights illuminated the wide river.

"Finally, the road is finally over, not late!" There was silence in my ears, only the violent wind swept through the field, roaring and roaring. The Jurchens had not yet attacked, and the Sizhou army arrived.

Du Shu didn't care about complaining at this time, his heart was surging, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "Daosi, your Sizhou camp is a day and a night, and it is really fast as lightning, although the white-clothed Chen Qingzhi, who flew thousands of miles in his previous life, is nothing more than that!" ”

"What is my Sizhou battalion, it is our Sizhou battalion, and it is the Sizhou battalion of my Han nation." Wang Shen smiled faintly, turned around and walked down the hill: "Pass my order, the whole army will move to the front army and the main force to converge." Step on the white horse, go to report the news, hurry up! ”

At the sound of the order, all the resting soldiers jumped up from the mud, took up their weapons, and hurried forward.
