Cheng Yue said with a smile: "It will take about half an hour for the Japanese to complete the army, the old general will go quickly, after going back, I will be responsible for the meritorious deeds, and I will take care of the descendants of the old general, and I will never let the Xia family have no successors!" ”

Xia Gui couldn't help but be grateful. Under Cheng Yue, the fierce generals are like clouds, and the young generals are also rising rapidly, scrambling to be the first when they send troops, where is he still needed Xia Gui? Although Xia Gui's official position among the military generals of the Southern Song Dynasty has reached the sky, and the reliance of the imperial court goes without saying, but in front of Cheng Yue, he is nothing. This time he came with a thick old face, but he didn't expect Cheng Yue to still think about him, and he would reuse him in such a critical battle, which made him happier than any reward.

It stands to reason that Xia Gui doesn't have to kowtow to Cheng Yue, but he just wants to kowtow a few times to this young man to repay him for his kindness.

Cheng Yue saw Xia Gui kowtowing to him, and hurriedly helped him up with his own hands, and said: "General Xia Lao is exempt, such a heavy responsibility, only General Xia Lao can shoulder it, this king please." ”

Xia Gui suddenly became arrogant, as if he had returned to the time when he was the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and he stood up and said loudly: "Lord Wang, Xia Gui will regard it as the last battle in this life, and he will never dare to live up to the trust of the prince!" ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said: "Old General Xia is serious, the old general should be strong, I will have to rely on it more in the future, how can I say the last battle?" He turned his head and instructed Jin Fangqing: "You take General Xia Lao to order troops to hand over, there must be no mistake." ”

Jin Fangqing saluted: "Yes! I admired Cheng Yue even more in my heart, and went away with Xia Gui.

Wan Ze said with a smile: "The two veterans are unwilling, the prince is so blessed." ”

Cheng Yue sighed: "It's a pity, General Xia will be eighty years old next year." I'm afraid I don't have much of a chance to use him. ”

Nang Jia Zhen said: "Although Xia Gui is old. The body is still strong. It was very neat when I knelt down just now. ”

Cheng Yue knew that Xia Gui's life was not long in coming, and said: "When people are old, their bodies may collapse at any time, and General Xia is almost old, and he can still lead the army to fight, which is already an outlier, and he should not be too forced." ”

The concubines nodded yes, and they were all very emotional in their hearts.

Xia Gui led the soldiers and horses. Abnormal excitability. He and the generals of the Lu clan are fellow villagers, and they have always had a close relationship, and now being able to fight side by side with them satisfies his wishes.

When the soldiers and horses of Goryeo heard that the king of Zhennan replaced them, and sent Xia Gui, a veteran general of the Great Song Dynasty, to lead 10,000 Song soldiers to resist the stormy waves in the afternoon, they secretly praised the justice of the prince in their hearts, and couldn't help but worry about the old general Xia.

How long can you support such a young age on the battlefield?

Jin Fangqing had to stay and help, but Xia Gui insisted on refusing. said: "The prince's arrangement is reasonable, and General Jin must not disobey military orders." ”

Jin Fangqing was helpless. Lead the children to retreat.

Xia Gui is a veteran of a hundred battles, he has a lot of experience in attack and defense, and the terrain is so favorable, how can he be defeated by the formation? Cheng Yue's order is very simple, it can't be done anymore, and the Xia family doesn't have the face to speak in front of Cheng Yue.

Xia Gui's generals ordered one by one to go underground, crossbowmen, spearmen, knife hands, shields, and cavalry were in their positions, and the mutual cooperation of each army and the retreat route were all thought of.

The retreating Goryeo troops couldn't help but applaud from a distance when they saw Xia Gui's scattered formation. What's even more rare is that the 10,000 Song army is well-trained, and as soon as Xia Gui's order is issued, the positions of each army have been fixed, the army is neatly organized, and the advance and retreat are well-founded, which shows the depth of hard work on weekdays!

Xin Du, Hong Chaqiu, Jin Fangqing and other generals looked at the doorway, and they were even more amazed, Jin Fangqing admired: "The soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty can be elite so far!" The prince can really be called the number one general in the world! ”

Liu Fuheng sighed: "Yes, it is clear that there is no descendant under the command of General Xia, and he is still like an arm, and he is the most powerful, in fact, here!" ”

Hong Chaqiu was dumbfounded: "With such soldiers and horses, what are you using us for?" ”

Xin Du couldn't help but admire: "Only the prince can train such soldiers and horses, the prince is invincible and invincible, the secret is to train the soldiers." ”

The Japanese army position on the opposite side was reorganizing the army at the same time as Xia Gui. Compared with the swiftness and neatness of the Song army, the Japanese army was much more chaotic. Fujiwara Keizi and other Japanese generals observed the formation process of the Song army, and they all changed color.

Can such an army really be defeated?!

Fujiwara Shino muttered to himself, "It's very strong! It's really strong! Is this the strength of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Fujiwara Jingzi gritted his teeth and said, "Father, what's the use of looking good?" The battle was fought, watch me break through the formation of the Song army and show my father! ”

Fujiwara Shiono's eyes widened suddenly, and he roared, "Don't underestimate the enemy!" Do you want to defeat the battle?! ”

Fujiwara Keishi said: "I'm not a light enemy, I just don't want to be intimidated by him!" ”

Fujiwara said: "Jingzi, you must break through!" ”

Fujiwara Jingzi clenched his fists, his whole body tensed, and a wave of pride surged in his chest, and he replied loudly: "Yes! ”

Fujiwara Shino pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go with you!" ”

Fujiwara was stunned and said, "Father, let Jingzi rush once today, if it doesn't work, it's not too late for my father to go tomorrow." ”

Fujiwara said: "Can't wait! While the morale is still sufficient now, to break through the Song people's defense in one fell swoop, if you can't break it today, it will be even more difficult tomorrow! ”

Fujiwara thought about it again and again, and couldn't refute Fujiwara's words, so he had to say: "Father, be careful, don't be in a hurry, it's okay to surround Cheng Yue here." ”

Fujiwara Zineng pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife and said: "If you can't fight for a long time, it will only make Cheng Yue more arrogant, even if you can't kill him today, you will break the Song army formation in front of you!" ”

Fujiwara Shitoki followed closely and said, "Grandpa, and me!" ”

Fujiwara Shino laughed, patted Fujiwara Shitoki on the shoulder with his left hand, and praised: "Okay, you follow Grandpa!" ”

"Yes!"

Fujiwara Keizai also patted Fujiwara Shitoki's arm lightly, smiled, and said, "Work hard, Shitoki!" The Fujiwara family will depend on you in the future! ”

Fujiwara nodded vigorously.

Goro Heda and Jiro Ando looked at Song Jun's formation, their expressions becoming more serious. If there is a reason why the attack from behind the mountain did not go well, then there is no excuse for losing the head-to-head battle again, and you can only admit that you are incompetent.

Hetian Goro said: "Cheng Yue transferred the Song army to replace the Goryeo army, it was determined that we would attack wildly in the afternoon, and Fujiwara Jingzi was pestering the Song army in front, we must find a way to attack the rear and see how much we can advance today." ”

Jiro Ando said, "Exactly." Also beware of the sudden appearance of the Mongol cavalry, which cannot leave a gap for them. ”

Goro Gata sighed and said, "It's not easy to deal with!" ”

Jiro Ando: "Yes, but I have the determination to die, so there's nothing to be afraid of." (To be continued.) )
