The sun of the white flowers scorched the earth mercilessly, and the whole field was like the shell of a turtle, and there were gaps a finger wide everywhere, stretching all the way to the horizon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Early summer is a good time for all things to grow, but under such a poisonous sun, the world has turned yellow, and even the tenacious weeds have become scorched.

There are several waterwheels on the side of the Yangtze River, but no one is driving the water.

In the severe drought season, coupled with the continuous wars, the people of Huangzhou also began to flee in large numbers. In the past few days, although a large number of people have been requisitioned, they can scrape together, but they can only get more than 10,000 masters, and there is more than enough to defend the city, and it is impossible to do anything else.

The war on both sides, coupled with the previous Jurchen crossing the river, Qi and Huang Erzhou have been completely ruined.

At this moment, the river wind is coming, waving flags, rolling up a large cloud of yellow dust in the field, and caged on the river.

In an instant, the heavens and the earth were in chaos.

Wang Shen and several of his generals stood on the city tower, sweat flowing out, and the dust in the air, sticky and itching.

In the distance, a tall ship flickered in a patch of yellow, like a moving fortress.

In the near distance, the ships and buckets shuttled back and forth in the turbulent river, probing the reality of the Sizhou army.

There are too many ships, densely packed with dumplings.

The worse news came, not only the 10,000 people of Cao Cheng's department and Yang Zaixing, but also Zhang Yong's department, Li Hong and Shang Yuan, and six or seven other rebels from the former Tokyo Left-behind Division. There were 30,000 or 40,000 of these people, all of whom were anchored in the Yangtze River outside Huanggang City in large boats. It's really a thousand sails competing, and there are many trees, and you can't see the end at a glance.

They shuttled all day long on the river, showing off their strength to the defenders of Huangzhou, and protecting Yang Zaixing, who was camped on the shore, on the side of the water. Third, when the Sizhou army was bitten by Yang Zaixing and the battle situation was anxious, they could take the opportunity to attack Huanggang, where the city defense was weak, and cut off the king's cautious retreat.

"There are a lot of enemies...... Moreover, after taking Ezhou, Hanyang and Anzhou, the army of the land bandits opened their treasury and was greatly replenished, and their equipment and morale were extremely high. However, it's just a bunch of rogues, so don't worry. ”

Although Wang Shen said it easily, his stomach felt like he had swallowed an indigestible stone, and he was so upset that he wanted to vomit.

He didn't expect that this battle would be fought so far, but there would be such a big change.

At the beginning of the battle between Qi and Huang, it was unusually smooth, and the first battle annihilated Kong Yanzhou's main force. But the next decision-making mistake prevented Wang Shen from taking Qichun in one go, so the two armies began a fierce urban offensive and defensive battle.

This battle has dragged on until now, and if you want to pick up Qichun, it seems that it will take a month or two.

To put it bluntly, war is a struggle for time, space and material power, one step late, one step later, at this time, Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and seven or eight of their families actually came to Jianghan.

At this moment, more than 100,000 troops were concentrated on this fertile land where the entire Yangtze River and the Han River meet. It can be said that all the soldiers and horses of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, which rebelled at the beginning, came.

In the real history, the Hebei heroic soldiers and horses of the Tokyo Left Behind Division were the main force of the puppet Qi in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, which stirred up a bloody storm in China.

Especially after receiving the material and manpower supplement from the Jianghan Plain, it is unprecedentedly powerful. As far as Wang Shen observed, those bandit troops were almost all in iron armor, shining in the sun. In particular, it can be seen how rich the Northern Song Dynasty was back then, and the Hanyang area, which did not go through the military disaster, was heaven on earth.

These big ships in front of me must have been recruited by the rogues from Hanyang and Ezhou.

It's annoying to suddenly have so many enemies, but the most troublesome thing is yet to come. The enemy came by big boat, and the 100 sailors of the Sizhou Military Region did not even dare to go out of the wharf, not to mention that Wang Shen could not let Yan Yumeng and them make a senseless sacrifice by hitting stones with eggs.

Today, the entire waterway of the Yangtze River has completely fallen into the hands of the enemy. The 30,000 or 40,000 enemies on the river could choose to land at any location on the north bank of the Yangtze River, or even directly join the Qichun battlefield. Running back and forth between his two cities, tired of running for his life, he will not be long in coming.

It can be said that the Sizhou army has been included and trapped by the enemy.

"It's all because of Kong Yanzhou, this bastard refuses to flee back to the Huai system like that, and it's about now!" Wang Shen grabbed the pheasant with his fingers, until his nails turned white.

During these days, on land, the scouts of the Tabai Army and the Yang Zaixing troops of Cao Chengjun fought in small units outside the city, fighting more than a dozen encounters, large and small, and also capturing some prisoners.

When I asked, I figured out what was going on.

It turned out that when Kong Yanzhou was besieged in Qichun City, he sent a fast horse to Huaixi to ask Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and others for help. Supposedly, the rogues couldn't have come so quickly. It just so happens that today Huaixi and Henan are experiencing an unprecedented drought like last year. In addition, the local area was plagued by the Jurchens and there was no grass. The army of the rogues could not stay there either, and retreated south one after another.

Kong Yanzhou's messenger met them halfway through, and vigorously exaggerated the wealth of Jiang and Han, inviting them to come over and raise troops. He also said that he Wang Shen captured a lot after eliminating Li Yu and defending Jiankang City, and now the wealth in Huanggang City is piled up. Moreover, if the leaders of each family want to go through Jing Chu, they must pull out the thorn of Wang Shen.

After all, the Sizhou Army was the only formed field force of the imperial court in Jianghan.

This hand surnamed Kong is really vicious!

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps. Looking back, he saw Feng Changqing striding up from under the city wall.

He was slashed by Yang Zaixing more than ten times, lost too much blood, and his face looked a little pale.

Wang Shen has always been kind to his subordinates, so he asked, "Feng Changqing, you have an injury on your body." It's such a big day, don't recuperate in the line, what are you doing here? ”

Feng Changqing: "Master, Yaozi, surnamed Yang, only played the villain that day, and avoided my key point with a knife." After a few days at home, it has been very good. The housewife said, the medicine has been boiled, you have to drink it while it's hot, master, you better go home quickly, right? The master's liver fire is strong these days, and if he is not healed as soon as possible, he may be in serious trouble. ”

"What's the problem, what's the problem? Didn't you see that so-and-so was spying on the enemy? As soon as he talked about his body, Wang Shen was furious: "Get out!" ”

Feng Changqing didn't leave: "If the master wants to blame the little one, whether it is beating or killing, the villain suffers all the time." However, the little one got the order of the master mother, and asked the master to go back to the house to drink medicine, so he had to invite you back! ”

Wang Shen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and his hand was on the hilt of the knife.

Other generals hurriedly walked over: "Military envoy, take care of your health!" ”

Wang Shen gritted his teeth for a long time before letting go of his hand: "Let's go, I'll go back." ”

Speaking of my body, it's been a bit of a hassle these days.

Qi Chun has been unable to attack for a long time, and there is an enemy army here in Huanggang to attack, and there is a huge disparity between the strength and weakness of the enemy and us, and it is really a bit of a wind and rain flavor.

Anyone else is him, Wang Shen will be in a hurry.

Wang Shen hadn't slept well for two days, his heart was on fire, and his nose couldn't stop bleeding. No matter how much he applied cold water to the back of his neck, it didn't work.

Seeing him like this, An Niang also panicked, and hurriedly called someone to invite Lang Zhong back.

Lang Zhong touched the pulse, and only said that Wang Shen's qi and blood were too strong, and he was too worried, so he needed to take medicine to calm his mind and clear the fire, and he had to recuperate. He also exhorted that there is a lot of love and a lot of life, and there is a lot of hurt in love, and the general has to be pure and have few desires, and always maintain a calm state of mind.

Keep a calm state of mind, the enemy is about to surround me, how can I calm down.

After taking the medicine for two days, my face is green, but the nosebleed still can't stop, and I will give you a few drops from time to time.

"This medicine is so bitter!" The facial features on Wang Shen's face were all squeezed into a pile.

"Hurry, Sugar." An Niang hurriedly ordered, and persuaded again: "Big brother, this medicine is bitter, especially the medicine that clears the fire and clarifies the purpose. I took a look at the recipe and there was coptis in it. ”

"Then it's no wonder." took the plate brought by Feng Changqing, pinched the sugar and put it in his mouth, and Wang Shen felt better: "Actually, I know my own problems, and I don't have any diseases, mainly in a hurry." ”

An Niang comforted: "Big brother, some things are in a hurry, even if you are in a hurry, is it possible that a nosebleed can wash away the thief?" ”

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed quietly, and asked, "Big brother just went to the city tower to investigate the enemy's situation, can you see the flaws of the thieves?" ”

"There can be a ghost flaw." Wang Shen was angry: "The river is full of enemy ships, and there are countless of them. I don't have a boat, and even if I see a flaw, I can't do anything about them. ”

"yes." An Niang responded, and said with a straight face: "In fact, with the bravery of the eldest brother and the courage and good fighting of my Si army, although there are many thieves, it is nothing. It is estimated that the thief also heard the prestige of the eldest brother, and he didn't dare to go ashore! ”

"If you don't dare to go ashore, you don't have to compliment me...... Hey, they don't go ashore, why is that...... That's not right, there are so many people, and the situation is superior. The enemy is attacking quickly from afar, why is he unwilling to fight a decisive battle with me......" This mystery is getting bigger and bigger in his heart, Wang Shen seems to grasp something, and shouts loudly: "Lao Guo, Lao Guo!" ”

Lao Guo: "Master." ”

Wang Shen: "Cook a pot of tea to eat." ”

An Niang snorted: "Big brother, you are taking medicine." Tea is modified, how to eat it? Lao Guo, ignore him! ”

Wang Shen suddenly brightened: "Quick!" ”

Lao Guo: "Okay, right away." He hurriedly prepared the stove and tea set, and explained to An Niang while busy: "Madam, the master has to drink tea when he thinks about things, and if he drinks beautifully, he will have a good way to break the enemy." ”

An Niang: "Ah, I forgot, let me come!" ”

Before a pot of tea was boiling, Wang Shen knocked on the table and chanted: "There are righteous people in the Kanto, and they will raise troops to fight for the murderers." In the early days, the alliance was in Jin, and the heart was in Xianyang. The forces of the army were uneven, and they hesitated and walked wildly. Snobbery makes people fight, and heirs fight each other. Anniang, I'll test you, who wrote this poem? ”
