Chapter 64: All Living Beings (II)

"Dong, Lord Dong, Lord Dong, you, why are you so, so, alas." Fang Guozhen patted his head in annoyance, making a look of regret.

"He can be regarded as benevolent in this way, and General Fang doesn't need to blame himself too much." The commander of the Fourth Army, Shi Songke, was stunned and couldn't help but speak of comfort.

"Alas, look, look at Fang's broken mouth, alas, I just wanted to be angry with him and let him eliminate his delusions about the court, alas" Obviously his heart was hearty, but Fang Guozhen continued to blame himself in a low voice.

This time he crossed the river with Dong Junxiao, Fang Jiajun burned and looted along the way, in case he was pursued by Zhu Tuanhu later, it was inevitable that he would have to pay some price, and as soon as Dong Junxiao died, the trouble was completely solved, all the crimes were done on the orders of this person, Fang really had a last resort, anyway, the dead man couldn't get up to confront him, for the sake of Fang Someone's final defection, the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion was not too serious.

In addition, Dong Junxiao is both civil and military, and has a reputation in eastern Zhejiang, in case he chooses to surrender, with the hypocrisy of Zhu Tuhu's hypocrisy, he may not be allowed to pay for self-redemption, and after Dong Junxiao returns to eastern Zhejiang, Fang's army will have a hard time, whether he assists others, or with the help of the local gentry to regroup, he will definitely find a way to recover the qiē suffered today, even with interest.

Therefore, Dong Shuxiao must die today, whether he is seriously injured or not, Fang Guozhen will never allow him to return to Jiangnan alive, as for Zhang Shicheng and Wang Kerou who are taking advantage of the chaos to kill Hangzhou at the moment, to be honest, Fang really doesn't put it in his eyes, as long as the Huai'an army does not come out and pulls the bias, Fang can move his fingers casually, he can defeat Zhang and Wang, the two juniors, and he will no longer have the intention of going east

Song Ke, who has always been upright and upright, how did he know that under Fang Guozhen's honest appearance, there were so many fancy intestines hidden, seeing that the latter was eager to grab the ground with his head, he shook his head, and continued to comfort in a low voice: "The surname Dong started by slaughtering the rebels, and he has a lot of blood debts on his hands, even if he is lucky enough to survive today, he will not be able to escape the trial of my Huai'an Governor's Mansion later, and he was angry to death by General Fang's words in a few words, but he took a big advantage." ”

"Oh." The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Fang Guozhen immediately shuddered in his heart, forced a smile, and gently arched his hand at Song Ke, "Thank you General for explaining, if it is really as you said, Fang Mou's heart will be much more relaxed, dare to ask what the general is called, and what position he holds in the Huai'an Army." ”

"Fourth Army Commander Shi Songke, I have seen General Fang, and the rescue was late before, please don't blame General Fang." Song Ke jumped off his horse, raised his hand and returned a standard new-style military salute, and responded with a proud face.

"Could it be Song Zhongwen who gave up his family to raise troops, hey, Fang Mou has been a great name for a long time, I originally thought that Brother Song, you must be living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, ready to rise, but I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really a blessing for three lives, a blessing for three lives." Fang Guozhen immediately made another excited expression, and even the company commander waved it.

Song Ke was so uncomfortable by his exaggerated demeanor that he avoided half a step, and raised his right hand to his ear again, "Song Mou has been admiring the other general for a long time, but I didn't expect that one day, he would be able to fight side by side with the general, let's talk about it later, let's take care of things today, Song just heard that Totoku has retreated to the north of the Yellow River, can this be true, or is General Fang just making it up to fight Dong someone's arrogance." ”

"Don't you know?" This time, it was finally Fang Guozhen's turn to be stunned, her eyes widened, and she asked in a low voice.

"Jiangwan City has been besieged for many days, and the messenger entered the city last night, and only sent today's combat deployment, and he didn't have time to elaborate on the rest, and it is estimated that he doesn't know." Song Ke smiled and shook his head slightly.

"Oh, look at my memory." Fang Guozhen slapped his head violently, and made a remorseful expression, "Blame me, blame me, it's me who was confused a few days ago, and actually obeyed the dispatch of Dong Thief and cut off the waterway between Jiangwan New Town and Yangzhou, blame me, blame me, I have already removed all the brothers early this morning, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu Bowen can testify to me." ”

After that, he quickly turned around, pulled out Liu Bowen with an embarrassed face from behind the crowd, and continued to add loudly, "He came out of Yangzhou City, and he was ordered by Commander Wu to contact Fang. ”

"Liu, Liu Shanchang." Song Ke only appeared, Liu Bowen was actually hiding in Fang Guozhen's personal army, the more confused, according to his impression, Liu has always picked his nose and eyes at the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and he hated to get rid of it quickly, why did he change his temper after not seeing him for a few days, and he actually planned for General Manager Zhu.

"Liu just couldn't bear to see the people of Yangzhou suffer another catastrophe, so he couldn't help but make a move." Liu Bowen, who hid for a long time but didn't hide in the end, arched his hand and explained curtly, "When this is over, Liu will continue to go back to the academy to teach and solve doubts, and he will not have anything to do with your army." ”

"Mr. has lofty ambitions, and Song can't look up to him." Song Ke was stunned by Liu Bowen's actions and laughed angrily, shaking his head in response.

Some people in this world just like to find themselves awkward, obviously looking at the rolling red dust, but they just make a way to escape the world, but they don't know that after doing this kind of thing, after doing it once, it is inevitable that they will do it a second time, and when they come down for the third or fourth time, I am afraid that some people themselves will be completely addicted, and they can't get rid of it with a big stick.

Liu Bowen was laughed by Song Ke so much that his heart was empty, his face was red, and he deliberately diverted the topic to other places, "Liu Mou is telling the truth, General Fang's words just now are also true, the chief manager, the general manager of your family, a few days ago, the flag died down, and in one fell swoop cut off the grain road of Yiwang to buy slaves, and then immediately and General Wang Xuan flanked back and forth, completely annihilated the Yuan army in the east and west of Shandong, and then resolutely waved his army westward, Lianke Panyang, Laiwu, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jinan, now, the entire southern part of Zhongshu Province is rumoring, and the Mengyuan court has successively taken off countless holy decrees, forced him to give up attacking Huai'an and return to the south of the country, and now there is no more half of the Yuan soldiers around Huai'an. ”

"Ah, that's it, it's really ,,,。" The succession of good news made Song Ke dizzy, and he was surrounded for several days, and almost every day he thought about how to resist Dong Junxiao, don't drag Xu Da's hind legs, and don't mess up because the chief manager rashly lost north, but he never thought that after his own chief manager jumped out of the circle in one step, he would create such a miracle in the north of the Yellow River.

Although there are elements of being persecuted by the imperial court, but its strategic goal of sweeping Huaiyang in one fell swoop has been completely declared a failure, and the blow to the army's heart, morale, and his own prestige is very heavy, even if he finally succeeds in recovering Yidu, Banyang and Denglai, and wants to repeat the siege of Huai'an, in a short period of time, I am afraid it is absolutely impossible.

Besides, with Xu Da's astuteness, how could he allow Totoku to calmly deal with his own governor, perhaps, at this moment, Hu Dahai and others have followed the Yuan army across the river, ready to give Totoku a fatal blow from behind.

"What is written in the military newspaper can still be fake." Seeing that Song Ke doubted his words in front of outsiders, Liu Bowen asked very unhappily, no matter how he said it, he was also a Confucian senior, how could he be honest in front of so many people, "The general manager's siege skills, you are not unclear, Huai'an, Baoying and Gaoyou were all down in one day, and there are two roads in Shandong, which city is stronger than these three, and under the defeat, how can it be possible to stop the soldiers of my Huai'an army." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Despite the fact that there were many outsiders who belonged to the Fang family's army, Song Ke still nodded very immodestly.

Ironclad city digging vehicles, hollow siege chisels, rotary handle siege drills, as well as gunpowder bags, wall sealing pipes, water presses, special levers for bricks, all kinds of things, I am afraid that there are no less than 30 kinds, only in the Huai'an army high position, only to know that the original so-called Jincheng soup pool, but a huge joke, in the face of endless destruction patterns, even if it is a high wall of bluestone, the same will turn into a broken wall in a blink of an eye.

Thinking of his own commander-in-chief attacking the city on the Qilu battlefield, the momentum was like a bamboo, the commander of the fourth army, Shi Songke, couldn't help but be fascinated, vaguely, as if he had flown to the north of the Yellow River, east of Mount Tai, holding the battle flag of the Huai'an Army, driving the enemy to the front, and the enemy soldiers were hugging their heads and running around, and they didn't have the courage to look back at all.

"Bah, bah, bah." Under the banner of the Huai'an Army, continuous shooting sounded, beating the defenders at the head of Jinan to death, wounded, and miserable.

A forbidden army condor archer did not dare to be beaten passively, leaned out half of his body from behind the battlements, bent his bow and set up arrows, and before he could stretch his bow arm to the fullest, a flowering bullet had already flown up the city wall, "Boom." The ground exploded, shattering the Condor Archer and the other three Praetorian Sergeants around him.

"Boom, boom, boom." More than a dozen six-pound guns carved with rifles were fired in turn, foot by foot, to clear all kinds of defensive facilities on the city wall.

The wooden bed crossbow was broken down into a pile of original pieces by the projectiles, and the nail rows made of pig iron fell outside the city one by one without waiting for the effect, and the gold barrels full of dung were blown apart, and the yellow-brown liquid splashed everywhere, so that the defenders of the city almost wanted to suffocate, and the bronze cannons brought by the forbidden army from the capital city with great effort were blown up one by one without waiting for their achievements, and the sound of gunpowder was mixed with the cries of the Mengyuan soldiers, one after another.

"Boom." A flowering bomb hit the enemy building, but it did not explode immediately, and it fell on the brick floor outside the window on the second floor in smoke, rolling back and forth.

The surrounding soldiers avoided one after another, lest their father and mother give birth to two less legs, and the next moment, an explosion sounded, and thick smoke covered the entire window.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem." In the crumbling enemy building, Meng Yuan knew about the Privy Council, and the forbidden army Daru Hua Chixuexue, his face was pale, and he coughed loudly and walked around.

As soon as he arrived at the Shandong battlefield, he met Zhu Tuhu head-on, his luck was not ordinarily good, and Yiwang Mainu was beaten and fled for his life, which made this qiē even worse.

Out of the city field battle, that is impossible, with the caution of Lord Xuexue, how can it be possible to give Zhu Butcher a chance to be powerful, with the danger to defend, the hope of victory is also very slim, Zhu Butcher relies on the cover of artillery and muskets, has sent the city digging car across the moat, I am afraid it will not be too long, Jinan Quancheng, will follow in the footsteps of Huaiyang all over the beginning.

"Marshal, please make a decision." Privy Council Senator Liu Wencai rushed in, his face full of smoke and fire, "I can't hold it, I definitely can't hold it, the artillery at the head of the city has been destroyed by the artillery of the Zhu butcher, and there is not much left of the rolling wood and thunder stone, if the marshal doesn't make a decision, we will die without a place to bury." ”

"Commander, please make a decision early." The other civilian and military generals in the enemy tower also urged loudly with anticipation on their faces, they were all natives of Dadu, and their lives were far more noble than their local compatriots, and it was really not worth dying in this place far from the palace.

"Decided." Xue Xue raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, gritted her teeth, "How do you let me decide, so far, only death." ”

After saying that, a touch of determination suddenly surged on his face, paused, and shouted at Liu Wencai, "You came just in time, there is paper and pen over there, you write a book to the emperor for Ben Shuai, just say, just say"

After pacing a few steps quickly, knowing the affairs of the Privy Council, the forbidden army Daru Hua Chixuexue resolutely added, "Chen Xuexue, known to His Majesty, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, leading the army south, for the support of the prime minister, since the order, painstakingly, day and night, lest the entrustment be ineffective, live up to the grace of the saint, but there are unforeseen circumstances, the army has not crossed the Yellow River, first encountered the main force of the Zhu thief, I am outnumbered, the lonely city is difficult to defend, the minister does not dare to abandon it, it is insulting to the prestige of His Majesty, so I want to lead the soldiers under his command, resist to the death, die with the city, with a humble body, In case of returning His Majesty's grace, the minister, knowing the affairs of the Privy Council, and then knocking, the sound of fighting is gradual, looking north at the capital, I don't know what to say. ”

An article is difficult to write, done loudly, the Privy Council five-grade senator Liu Wencai moved his heart to a hot heart, forced to hold back tears, splashed ink, in an instant, the article was written, Xue Xue took it, quickly checked it, and then ordered someone to put it into a bamboo tube and seal it, handed it over to the hundred families of the soldiers, and ordered him to lead thirty brothers, and the fire went out of the city from the west gate where there was no enemy army, and sent it to the Dadu Palace.

"The last general, the last general is willing to die with the commander." Seeing the messenger leave along the official road, the generals knew that they would not be fortunate today, and gritted their teeth and spoke loudly.

According to the military law left over from the era of Genghis Khan, if the commander dies, if the generals under his command can't get his body back, they will all be sentenced to death, and his wife will sit together.

Who expected that Xuexue, who was still full of determination before, smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "What is the death, I will wait for a useful body to repay the country's kindness, hurry down, prepare a horse for Lao Tzu, let's take advantage of the fact that the thief has not reacted, immediately break through the bloody battle from the West Gate, and wait for the next wave of reinforcements to arrive, and then retake this city, to be ashamed of the snow." ”
