Chapter 62: Qingshui Town (10)
The Jurchen cavalry under the command of Yinshuke is worthy of being the Jurchen elite soldiers, although they are defeated, they are not chaotic, although they retreat, they are not defeated. Hundreds of Jurchen cavalry behind the palace showed superb horsemanship, all of them riding war horses upside down, and kept firing arrows at the pursuing army.
However, Yue Fei did not stop the pursuit. Hundreds of Beiwei troops had been wandering outside the bows and arrows of the Jurchen army, neither assaulting nor retreating. As a result, when Yinshuke's cavalry withdrew to the Jin army camp outside Qingshui Town, the Beiwei army was also blocked outside the Jin army camp.
At this time, it was close to dusk, and the Protector Army that caught up was two miles away from the Jin army camp and set up an infantry battalion. These can be seen clearly by the silver art on the corner tower of the Jin Army's camp. But Yinshu didn't see it clearly, and the protectors in the infantry battalion were less than a thousand people.
led the Beiwei army to retreat into the camp, and Yue Fei had time to talk to Zhang Heng Wang Gang. Wang Gang hurriedly pleaded guilty to Yue Fei. "Master, after the Beiwei army went ashore just now, Commander Zhang originally wanted to attack immediately, but I felt that the fighter plane had not arrived, so I waited for a while. Master, don't blame Commander Zhang. If you want to blame me, blame me. ”
Yue Fei slammed his fist on Wang Gang's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Good boy, you dare to use your master as bait now." After this battle, I have to teach you a good lesson. ”
Wang Gang let out a miserable scream in an extremely exaggerated manner. "Master, you only taught me one trick last time, the black tiger digging out the heart, and the other kicking head-on. I'm tired of practicing. When you teach me a lesson this time, use a few fresh tricks, and I am not afraid of being beaten. ”
When Zhang Heng saw this, he realized that Yue Fei really didn't blame Wang Gang. While sighing in his heart, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Yue Shuai, since I got in touch with Master Zhihun , the master is really generous, and he sent tens of thousands of stones of grain to my water village on the spot, as well as five thousand pieces of armor. And let me expand the water army as soon as possible. Now there are more than 20 large ships and more than 200 small boats in the naval camp. There were also more than 5,000 soldiers. After receiving Yue Shuai's news, I wanted to immediately gather 2,000 sailors to come. Wang Gang happened to be suppressing bandits in our Neihuang County. As soon as I heard that you were going to war with the Golden Dog, Wang Gang asked me to send the Beiwei army over. Wang Gang said that my navy would not have much effect when they came here. Compete with the golden dog, relying on the cavalry. I didn't expect Wang Gang to be right. I'm ashamed. ”
Yue Fei was very happy when he heard that Zhang Heng had expanded the naval army to more than 5,000 people. Zhang Hengben was one of the best naval generals between the two Song Dynasty. There is Zhang Heng commanding the sailors of the Protector Army, and the Sailors of the Golden Dog are not enough to worry about. But when he heard that Wang Gang was suppressing bandits in Neihuang County, Yue Fei couldn't help but wonder a little. "General Zhang, shouldn't Wang Gang, this muddy boy, be in Kaide Mansion? How did you get to Neihuang County? ”
Zhang Heng said with a smile, "Yue Shuai doesn't know, since the cavalry division brought back 7,000 war horses from Xiangzhou, Commander Zhao Hong trained the cavalry in Kaide Mansion, and scared some of the homeless bandits in the territory of Kaide Mansion to run to neighboring counties. A group of 1,000 rogues fled to Neihuang County, but they still did not change their thief nature, and even looted three villages. Wang Gang led 400 Beiwei troops to Neihuang County and annihilated the tributary Kou. Now Kaide Province and Neihuang County are already the world of our people's army. ”
Yue Fei has left Kaide Mansion since the beginning of September, and it is now late September. Listening to the meaning of Zhang Heng's words, in the past 20 days, Master Zhihun not only stabilized Kaide Mansion, but also took down Neihuang County.
Yue Fei praised loudly, "What a master of Zhihun . He is worthy of being the military advisor of my people's protection army. Commander Zhang, come, let me introduce you to a few heroes. Xiao Wanggang, you also come here, and I will introduce you to a few uncles. ”
Yinshuke's retreat and Yue Fei's pursuit were all clearly seen by some soldiers standing on the roof of Qingshui Town. These Xiangzhou sergeants who had been defeated to Qingshui Town had actually been desperate for a long time. If it weren't for Shi Quan's heroic fighting on the way to escape that moved them, these sergeants might have fled by swimming in the water.
Although Shi Quan and Zhao Yuying repeatedly said that someone would come to save them soon, these sergeants couldn't believe it at all. They remembered the Zhao and Song royal families who were captured in Chunshang, and more than 3,000 people were plundered to the Jin Kingdom, and they did not see the Song army to save them. What's more, Zhao Yuying is only a descendant of Taizu, and she is not even a county lord. How could anyone risk coming to the rescue?
But at this moment, looking at the fierce fluttering banner of Yuezi in the sunset, all the Xiangzhou sergeants in Qingshui Town burst into tears. General Shi Quan didn't lie to them, and Miss Zhao didn't lie to them either. Not only did someone really come to save them, but it was also the invincible Yue Invincible.
"Yue Wushu is here. Yue Wushu came to save us. ”
Sergeant Xiangzhou, who was in charge of the lookout, shouted at the top of his voice. The 20,000 soldiers and civilians in Qingshui Town soon heard the news. But Shi Quan didn't hear it. Because Shi Quan had already fainted.
After several days of sleepless fighting, pacifying the people and soldiers, coupled with the lack of herbal medicine, the injuries all over the body could not be treated, and the iron-beaten Shi Quan finally couldn't hold on. Not long after Yinshuke led the army out of the camp, Shi Quan's body went weak and fell on the roof.
Zhao Yuying heard the shouts of the sergeants, and her haggard face showed joy for the first time in several days. She looked at Shi Quan, who was unconscious, and said softly, "General Shi, you are not wrong. General Yue really came to save us. The silver trick dog thief seems to have been defeated for a while, and now General Yue is encamped a few miles away. Presumably I will be able to defeat the Silversmith Dog Thief tomorrow. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yuying's tears couldn't hold back any longer, and a drop fell on Shi Quan's face. She didn't know it. "General Shi, General Yue is coming. You've got to hold on. General Shi, you must hold out until tomorrow. ”
Shi Quan's lips squirmed, as if he had said something. Zhao Yuying didn't hear clearly, and hurriedly put her ear to Shi Quan's mouth to listen. "Miss, is General Yue really here? That's good, that's good. The eldest lady is saved. ”
Seeing that Shi Quan, who was in a coma, still thinking about himself, Zhao Yuying couldn't help but feel a little crazy. Zhao Yuying is eighteen years old this year, two years older than Shi Quan. On the way to escape, Shi Quan had already captured Zhao Yuying's heart with his bravery. But Shi Quan never dared to confess. Zhao Yuying didn't dare to confess. Shi Quan is because his identity is too different from Zhao Yuying. Zhao Yuying is the daughter of the prefect, and she is also the daughter of the Zhao Song clan, she is just a little orphan whose parents died, if it wasn't for Lord Zhao to let him join the army, I'm afraid she would have starved to death in the wilderness.
Zhao Yuying didn't dare to confess, purely because of the shyness of her daughter's family. But at this moment, Zhao Yuying finally revealed her true feelings, she held Shi Quan in her arms, and said in a low but firm voice, "General Shi, Brother Shi Quan, you can't die." I haven't married you yet, how can you die? If you die, I won't live either. ”
But this time, Shi Quan didn't speak again, and seemed to faint again.
At this time, several Xiangzhou sergeants ran over in a panic. "Report to General Shi, report to the eldest lady, there is an army from the west of the town, there are thousands of people. They said they were the Protectors, who had come to our rescue. The brethren could not stop them. General Shi, oh, eldest lady, hurry up and take a look. ”
These Xiangzhou sergeants originally wanted Shi Quan to go over to have a look, but Shi Quan was unconscious, so he could only let Zhao Yuying go out. Anyway, the people who came did seem to be reinforcements, and they weren't at all vicious to them.
As soon as Sergeant Xiangzhou's words fell, Zhao Yuying stood up from the ground. "Reinforcements? They must have brought herbs, and General Shi was saved. ”
The 1,000 Protector Army that entered Qingshui Town by boat was ordered by Yue Fei to prepare for an internal and external attack tomorrow to defeat Yinshu Ke in one fell swoop. So when the Protectors entered the town, it was all quiet. The two generals who led the army were Luo Yanqing and Fu Xuan.
As soon as Zhao Yuying and Luo Yanqing and Fu Xuan met, the first thing they said was to ask them if they had any medicine, but Luo Yanqing and Fu Xuan were stunned. A military general like them, of course, will have some self-formulated gold creation medicine on his body. But Zhao Yuying was not injured, why did she ask this as soon as she opened her mouth.
When the two of them heard that Shi Quan was unconscious, they immediately shouted loudly, "Hurry up and take us to see." Yue Shuai didn't mention General Shi along the way. ”
Seeing Shi Quan's wounds all over his body, as well as a few suppurating wounds, Luo Yanqing hurriedly took out the best Jinchuang medicine, and sighed while carefully medicating Shi Quan, "Brother Shi is really an iron man." With such a serious injury, if I had replaced someone else, I would have hung up a long time ago. ”
When I applied the medicine, I was almost stripped naked. Zhao Yuying didn't dare to look at it, so she had to turn around. However, he kept raising his heart to his throat, for fear that Luo Yanqing would say something unlucky.
After Luo Yanqing finished taking the Jinchuang medicine, he said with a smile, "Miss, you can turn around." You don't have to worry, Brother Shi is fine. My medicine was prepared by the head of the family with a famous doctor, and a pack is ten taels of silver. The price is expensive, and the effect is good. Brother Shi will wake up soon. ”
As Luo Yanqing said, after it was dark, Shi Quan really woke up. Zhao Yuying has been staying by Shi Quan's side, almost never leaving. Luo Yanqing and Fu Xuan are not honest people. Seeing Zhao Yuying's expression like this, she already understood her thoughts, and couldn't help but be secretly happy for Shi Quan. The heart said that a man like Brother Shi should marry a beautiful and beautiful daughter like Zhao Yuying. As for the door-to-door or something, they have long been thrown out of the clouds by these two people. What's so great about the Zhao Song clan? Thousands of royal families were captured by the Jin soldiers and sent to the north to herd sheep.
Hearing that Yue Fei was outside the town, Shi Quan, regardless of his weakness, immediately took a boat out of the town and went around to Yue Fei's camp. Luo Yanqing hurriedly pressed Shi Quan's shoulder and said loudly, "Brother Shi, on the way here, Yue Shuai has always been concerned about your safety. Now that you have just taken the medicine and can't move, I don't want you to ruin my Luo Yanqing's reputation as a Jinchuang medicine. Besides, Miss Zhao has been guarding you for a day, don't you want to talk to her for a while? ”
Luo Yanqing made Shi Quan and Zhao Yuying a little embarrassed in one sentence. However, Shi Quan quickly broke free from the love of his children, looked at the brightly lit Jin military camp, and said hatefully, "If it weren't for General Xiong Fei's desperate death, none of the people in Xiangzhou would have escaped." The reason why Shi Quan went to see General Yue was to kill Yinshuke with his own hands in tomorrow's battle and avenge General Xiong Fei. ”
"What? You're injured like this, and you're going to fight? Brother Shi, are you slapping me and Fu Xuan in the face? Luo Yanqing seemed to have been insulted by something, and said loudly, "Brother Shi, you are recuperating from your injuries in Qingshui Town." Tomorrow we will flank the golden soldier inside and outside, and I will capture the silver magic in front of you, and let you cut off his head with your own hands, how about it? ”
Shi Quan wanted to refuse Luo Yanqing's kindness, but in the blink of an eye, seeing Zhao Yuying's extremely worried eyes, he didn't feel that the hero was short of breath, and replied in a low voice, "It's okay." I'm also dragging my feet when I'm going into battle now. Tomorrow, I'll watch Luo Fu's two big brothers show their might. ”
Fu Xuanchang smiled, "You two will just take a look." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Shi Quan and Zhao Yuying were all red-faced. The two looked at each other, then quickly turned their gaze away.
