"Qi Fang, how did this battle go? I stayed in the division of 30,000 elites, and I couldn't get a mere 5,000 gold to sign the army, you have betrayed the trust of a certain person, and the crime is unforgivable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is coming, drag him out and cut him down, show his head to the public, and circulate the three armies. ”

In the left-behind Si Xingyuan Festival account, the right minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Jianghuai Xuanfu Si Jiankang stayed, and Du Chong, the highest military commander in the entire Jianghuai region, was about to explode, he slapped the long case fiercely, and the anger in his heart instantly erupted.

Since Du Chong stayed in Jiankang, he only handed over all the front-line battles to Qi Fang, and he hid in Jiankang City and didn't care about anything. Anyway, as long as the Yangtze River is held, the Jin army has neither ships nor wings, and until the end, the Wushu has grabbed enough in Jiangbei and is tired, so it will naturally retreat north.

Therefore, in this month, he traveled all day long, drank highly, and had a good time.

Just yesterday, Du Chong received an urgent report from Qi Fang, saying that a Hebei signing army had arrived on the other side of Majiadu. The number of people is small, and the morale is low.

After getting the news, Du Chong suddenly felt a little moved, and actually had the idea of taking the initiative.

On the surface, he now has the trust of the officials. Not only was he promoted to the right minister, but he was only one step away from entering the palm seal of the political hall, ruling the world, and in charge of all the armies in the Jianghuai region, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while.

But his own affairs are best known to him, the so-called high places are not cold, and the Great Song Dynasty has always had an atmosphere of party strife. There are only a few seats in the political hall, and if you occupy them, others will have no place to sit.

Just some time ago, there were rumors in the government and the opposition that it was Zhang Jun and Zhang Deyuan who intended to preside over the Jianghuai military and take away the military power of the left-behind division. He also contacted a number of officials to impeach him for the crime of losing Tokyo.

Speaking of the civil strife in Tokyo, Du Chong was very weak-hearted, although there were officials who supported him. But he stayed in Jiankang, couldn't follow the front of the shelf, and couldn't grasp the movements of the court. With all the mouths of gold, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not have an opinion of himself.

Everything I have is given by the official family, and I have a bad reputation and no foundation in the court. If I am not careful, my current flower-filled scenery will immediately turn into a mirror.

If I am afraid of the enemy, it is difficult to guarantee that I will be cautious of impeaching me for passive and cowardice.

In any case, I have to get some military exploits and block the mouths of the people in the world to keep the wealth in front of me.

Thinking that the enemy is just a 5,000 tired enemy, but a Hebei army, not a chilling Jurchen Tartar, Du Chong feels that this is a soft persimmon, and it is really a bit unreasonable not to pinch it.

"Okay, let's fight a battle, even if it is to get the heads of dozens of level enemies, it can be regarded as an explanation to the official family. I'll have to take a risk, just this once. ”

Therefore, he ordered Qi Fang to lead the main forces of the front army and the Chinese army to cross the river and fight a decisive battle with the enemy.

But I don't want to, but this soft persimmon on the surface is a hard bone. With 30,000 against 5,000, not only did they not take it smoothly, but they were driven back. The losses of the troops were enormous, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers were loaded with two boats, and it was said that more were left on the north shore and could not be brought back.

By now, the elite backbone of the unit has been completely crushed, and its morale has fallen to the extreme, and it has not been able to recover from a month or two of rest.

He finally mustered up the courage to order the troops to go into battle, but it ended like this, and after getting the news of the disastrous defeat of the army, Du was angry and ruined. Early this morning, he rode over on a fast horse.

At this moment, the anger in his chest had been transformed into boundless killing intent, which made his rather sparse and handsome eyebrows look extremely hideous.

Today he wants to kill people, to vent the disappointment and anger in his heart.

"Yes!" The two guards rushed in, cut Qi Fang's arms, and were about to drag them out of the tent.

Qi Fang, the former commander of the army, struggled violently, shook off the two guards, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and shouted in a wailing voice: "Enxiang, Enxiang, it's not that the last general is unwilling to fight to the death, it's really that Yelu Ma Wu is too capable of fighting." When those Khitan dogs saw us, they rushed forward as if they were crazy, and the soldiers really couldn't resist it! Enxiang, Enxiang, the last general used to be just a small general, and it was your old man who single-handedly promoted me to my current position. If you live up to the expectations of the grace minister, you will deserve death in the end. However, please spare the life of the little one for the sake of the last general's past saddle for you before and after the saddle! I can't die, I can't die. ”

This head slammed so hard, and in the blink of an eye, there was hot blood dripping on his forehead.

"Shut up, Qi Fang, you also know that you were pulled by a certain hand. Without so-and-so, you can have today. That's how you repay me for your kindness. Why can't you die, yesterday there was a battle, and there were many people who died on the battlefield. Wang Min and Zhang Chao, the commanders with the same official position as you, will not die on the battlefield, but you have to come back cheekily. Hugh wanted to say more, dragged it out and cut it down. Du Chong shouted.

Du Chong is harsh, ruthless, and moody. If he sees you as pleasing to the eye, it doesn't matter who you are or what your ability is, as long as you are obedient, you will not be stingy with high-ranking officials. If he hates you, no matter what your identity is, he will immediately turn his face and be ruthless, and kill him if he says kill.

When he was in Tokyo, Ma Gao was also a commander, a senior general of the army, because he suffered a defeat, he was immediately pushed out of the tent and beheaded, and if he killed Qi Fang today, he would not blink his eyes.

Qi Fang cried loudly: "Grace spare your life, grace spare your life!" While crying, he knelt forward a few steps, and kept arching his hand to the other generals in his army: "Generals, please persuade the gracious minister, please!" ”

Seeing that he was so miserable, finally someone couldn't bear it. A general stepped forward and arched his hand: "Du Xianggong, our army is newly defeated, and the army's morale is unstable. It is also inappropriate to behead the generals in battle, it is better to let General Qi make meritorious contributions. ”

The person who spoke was Guo Zhongxun, the deputy commander of the palace, who was the commander of the forbidden army of the official family, and his status was quite high. What he said, Du Chong would generally give a little face.

Du Chong snorted coldly: "Meritorious service, meritorious service, if you lose the battle, you will not be held accountable for just such a sentence, who is still willing to fight hard, and a certain military law will not become an ornament." Guo Tong, don't intercede for this dog. ”

"In yesterday's battle, our army didn't expect the enemy to be so fierce, and the responsibility is not on General Qi Fang alone. Speaking of which, we are all guilty. ”

"Yes, yes, please be gracious." With Guo Zhongxun taking the lead, in the tent, other officers also stood up at the same time and bowed to the ground.

"Hehe, you're really united, is this going to be the other way around?" Du Chong sneered loudly: "It seems that if this is not the case today, you will not get up." A certain person was able to kill Ma Gao at the beginning, and today he can also kill Qi Fang. For your sake, spare your life. However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Someone came, and beat him with fifty sticks. ”

"Thank you Eun-sang, thank you Eun-sang!" Qi Fang shouted loudly.

"Crackling" crisp sound, fifty sticks down, Qi Fang, who was as strong as a cow, was covered in blood, and there was not an inch of good meat. Looking at him in the pool of blood again, he was already angry and completely fainted.

At this time, suddenly, a faint shout was heard in the distance.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Defeated, defeated!"

……

"What's going on?" Du Chong was shocked.

At that moment, he didn't care about Qi Fang on the ground, and rushed to the door of the festival tent in three steps and two steps, at this time, the shouting and killing in the distance became louder.

Look up to the north.

But I saw that there were soldiers fleeing in panic in front of me. The frightened horses and large animals rushed in all directions, and the soldiers who stood in front of them fiercely trampled under their hooves, until their ears were full of miserable screams.

Another buffalo lost control, and the cart behind it slammed into a stake with a lantern, which fell directly into a tent.

I don't know what was stored in the tent, it was about fire oil and saltpeter, and with a "whew", an orange-red flame rose in an instant. The two soldiers rushed out in flames, screaming and rolling on the ground.

As soon as the fire was burned, it was out of control, and in a blink of an eye, he set fire to the cattle shed and the tent next to it.

The heat wave is blowing in the face, and the heat is unbearable.

The few people who had just come out of the tent took a step back at the same time, and the cold sweat on their bodies was dripping down.

"Bomb the camp, blow up the camp!" Du Chong woke up suddenly and scolded: "Qi Fang, look at the good soldiers you bring, why don't you bring people to bullet pressure?" ”

After shouting this, he remembered that Qi Fang had been beaten by his own military stick and was unconscious, so he stomped his feet again and again, and shouted to several commanders behind him: "What are you guys doing staying here, don't go back to control the troops." Otherwise, without waiting for the Jin people to fight, a certain army will be scattered. An hour, an hour you must maintain order. Otherwise, come and see you. ”

He was so angry and anxious that his voice became unusually sharp, as if a knife had scraped on a glazed tile, and goosebumps arose on his body.

Although Du Chong is mediocre and incompetent, he has been the commander for a year, and he still has basic military knowledge. Naturally, I know that when the army sleeps at night, what they are most afraid of is the camp roar. Especially after yesterday's fiasco, seeing so many former companions die tragically under the enemy's sword, many people's spirits can be said to have collapsed. At night, once there is a stir, it will be suspected that the Jurchens have come to steal the camp. Thousands of people would come out of their tents in a daze, slashing and killing with knives in their hands. Before dawn, there is no recovery at all.

If you really encounter this situation, even if you have 100,000 elite soldiers on hand, you will run clean overnight.

"Yes." Several commanders were also anxious and were about to leave.

Suddenly, there was another roar, and a crowd of people who didn't know where it came from suddenly crowded in, engulfing everyone in an instant.

How did the poor group of generals who stayed in the decision-making center of the division resist this overwhelming force, and they were suddenly engulfed, staggering, and moving backwards involuntarily.

Du Chong is a civil official, when has he seen such a terrible situation, the whole person is stunned. He didn't know how long it took for him to come to his senses and find that his hat had been squeezed off and his hair was falling loose.

I felt that my mouth was full of salty taste, and I didn't know when someone knocked out my tooth blood.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm Du Chong, aren't you afraid of my military law?" However, the troops were in complete disarray, and thousands of people were pushing each other like fish in a dry pond scrambling for their lives, and who knew who the man with the cloak was.

The people around him were shouting in a mess: "Defeated, defeated, Yelu Ma Wu has already been killed, he is about to escape, and he will not be able to escape if he is late." ”

"Fart, fart!" Du Chong roared angrily: "The enemy doesn't have wings, how can he fly over?" ”

The commanders around Du Chong were also shocked, and a general named Liu Jing was very strong, and he pushed the defeated soldiers in front of him away with a loud shout. At this time, the generals came to their senses, and at the same time drew their weapons and slashed indiscriminately, finally clearing a clearing.

Guo Zhongxun stretched out his hand and grabbed a soldier, and asked, "Guan Qi, what's the matter, aren't you stationed at the dock, why did you come here?" ”

The soldier was called Guan Qi, who was Guo Zhongxun's subordinate, so he cried and said: "Commander, just now, Yelu Ma Wu took the boat we dropped yesterday to cross the river and attack at night. The brethren were defenseless and collapsed at the touch of a button. Now, Liaogou has been killed soon, and the three armies are scattered. You'd better hurry up, it's too late. ”

"Ah, the Khitan soldiers of Yelu Mawu...... Came by boat, and the three armies were scattered? Du Chong's eyes straightened when he heard this, and the blood in his mouth couldn't stop flowing: "Impossible, impossible." ”

Guo Zhongxun raised his voice: "How many people are there in Yelu Ma Wu?" ”

Guan Qi cried: "I don't know, I don't know, it's everywhere, at least two or three thousand, all of them are Khitan elites." ”

All the generals also took a breath of cold air, as if they had fallen into an ice cave. I never expected that the enemy would come so quickly. I thought that after yesterday's battle, I would have to rest for a few days to fight again. But I didn't want to kill Yelu Ma Wu after only one day, and he didn't give people a chance to breathe at all.

In such a dark night, the new defeat of the remaining division can be said to have been broken by the enemy, and now the army has fallen into chaos, and it is no longer possible to organize an effective defense.

It's over, it's over, it's over.

In an instant, everyone's faces showed a look of defeat.

Suddenly, Du Chong shouted: "Qi Fang, Qi Fang, let him bring someone over to snatch the dock back." ”

All the generals smiled bitterly in their hearts, Mo said that now Qi Fang has been beaten to the point that he can't wake up, even if he is doing well now. What can you do without soldiers at hand?

Guo Zhongxun is the oldest and the highest position among the generals. He lifted his spirits and shouted to everyone: "Gentlemen, the matter is urgent, everyone should not stay here anymore, there is something to do." Go back immediately to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and let's go grab the dock. ”

Everyone woke up like a dream, and at the same time arched their hands towards Du Chong, pulled out their waist knives, and rushed out, shouting at the rout soldiers while running: "Follow me, follow me!" ”

Du Chong was still standing there with a pale face.

Guo Zhongxun saw his appearance of six gods and no master, and sighed: "Du Xiang...... Hey......" pulled him and said, "Xianggong, hurry back to the festival account, the situation is urgent, and please raise the account to preside over this chaos." ”
