Chapter 12 The Difficulty of Walking on the Wing
Not long after, Liu Futong's military order arrived at Hao Shisan's residence, and Hao Shisan's head of the Anfeng Road march was sealed, supervising the soldiers and horses left behind on Yingshang, and taking Shouzhou, the seat of Anfeng Road, within 15 days.
The Yuan Dynasty was administratively divided into 11 provinces, with roads and prefectures set up under the provinces, and prefectures, prefectures, and counties under them. The head of the march on Anfeng Road, in the official system of the Yuan Dynasty, belongs to the third grade, but Hao Shisan, the head of the local separatist regime, will be greatly discounted, not to mention that Liu Futongbing has not been allocated to a soldier and a pawn, and Hao Shisan, the head of the army, is basically a false title.
Among them, Anfeng Road has jurisdiction over Shouzhou, Huoqiu, Anfeng three county seats, called Anfeng Army in the Southern Song Dynasty, later the Yuan Dynasty set up Anfeng Road, Shouzhou, called Shouchun in ancient times, is the city where Yuan Shu called the emperor, Hao Dabao's era is called Shou County.
There will be soldiers and horses, and Liu Futong asked him to go to Yingshang Liu Liu's army to lead the army.
Hao 13 and his entourage took two rafts and went down the Yingshui River, along the way, the scenery was beautiful, and it didn't take long for them to go down the river to Yingshang City, and were stopped by the patrolling Yingshang Red Turban Army. Otherwise, Hao Shisan might have floated along the Yingshui until he reached Shouzhou, the capital of Anfeng Road.
The leader of the Yingshang Red Turban Army was Liu Liu, the younger brother of Liu Futong, whose name was Liu Fusheng, and the governor of the Yingshang Red Turban Army's 20,000 horse infantry army.
Liu Liu looked at the proclamation issued by Liu Futong who handed him over, and said with a difficult face: "Capturing Shouzhou will solve the threat on the periphery of Yingshang, and I, Liu Liu, will definitely support it in an all-round way...... However, the soldiers and horses on this Yingzhou are the barriers of Yingzhou, and they are all sent to you and I Yingshang is empty, and the ten thousand households on Anfeng Road are also Sutai leading more than 10,000 troops to be stationed in Xiaji Village, which is not far away, once the Tartars take advantage of the weakness to enter, Yingzhou City will be dangerous......"
"Just tell me how many soldiers and horses you can give me, right?" Hao Shisan saw that Liu Liu was prevaricating, so he simply went straight in.
"The thirteenth brother is the sect leader's teacher, and I have Liu Dashuai's handsome order, I will definitely send elite soldiers and strong generals to help Hao Guan help" Liu Liu's tricks were mysterious, and he said to a red scarf general at the end of Shuai Zhang: "Who is that ......" He couldn't call out his name for a while.
The red-scarf general at the end hurriedly left the shift and said, "The last general!" ”
"Oh, yes!" Liu Liu seemed to come up with the name of the general at the end: "Fu Qianhu, now transfer you to lead the elite troops of the headquarters to the command of Chief Hao and help General Manager Hao take Shouzhou!" ”
"The last general...... The last general obeyed," the general gritted his teeth.
"What? Not confident? Liu Liu asked very considerately.
"Uh, that...... My lord, the city defense of Shouzhou, the 20,000 Red Turban Army on Yingshang did not dare to attack easily, and the Tartar army of Xia Jizhai Red Horse Tan Army had 3,000, and my troops were only ......"
"Eh! Fu Qianhu, you have to have confidence in Manager Hao, the commander sent Manager Hao to take Shouzhou, it must be that Manager Hao has something outstanding, in the past, you were known for your bravery under Li Dashuai, did the three thousand red horse detectives scare you? Before he saw the enemy, and he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, no wonder Li Er would fail, and Xuzhou couldn't hold it! ”
The general at the end blushed, and he didn't dare to speak against the head of the Red Turban Army.
The prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty took off his personal commander and besieged Xuzhou with hundreds of thousands of troops, the Golden Horde in the northwest and Goryeo in the northeast sent tens of thousands of elite soldiers to help, and the Red Turban Army in Yingzhou did not send a single soldier to rescue, as a result, Li Er was weak, the army was defeated and captured, Xuzhou fell, and the city was slaughtered by the Tartars, and the soldiers and civilians were slaughtered no less than 400,000, and Xuzhou became a barren land.
The No. 1 person of the Xuzhou Red Turban Army is gone, the group of dragons has no leader, the No. 2 and No. 3 people Peng Da and Zhao Jun took refuge in Guo Zixing in Haozhou, Mao Gui led a team alone to support it, and Fu Qianhu followed his boss Li Xixi to take refuge in Liu Futong in Yingzhou.
The Yingshang Red Turban Army is the old Han Shantong, the former leader of the Ming Sect, the elders of the Ming Sect gathered in the army, Li Xixi and Fu Qianhu led the remnants of the army to surrender in the future, and the result was dismantled and resettled, Li Xixi stayed in Yingzhou, and Fu Qianhu was assigned to Yingshang.
Hao Shisan finally understands now that the so-called dispatch of elite soldiers and strong generals is pure nonsense! I haven't heard that a strong general can stand at the end of the Chinese military tent, the feeling is that after the defeat of Xuzhou Sesame Li Er, the former Xuzhou Red Turban Army general who came from Xuzhou to take refuge, the general has always been discriminated against, even if he deploys a thousand household officials, he is still a deputy thousand households, how many people can he have?
"Then please allocate more grain, grass, ordnance, and money for me!" Hao 13 knew that it was impossible to give more soldiers and horses, and he could receive more food, grass and ordnance, and he could also recruit troops on his own.
Liu Liu's head shook like a rattle: "Ordnance? No, no, I have 20,000 Red Turban weapons on my wing. Grain and grass? How much grain and grass do the 20,000 Red Turban Army get for eating horses in a day? I will give you three days of food and grass for your military horses, no matter how much, you can only wait for you to conquer Shouzhou and get it yourself! ”
Day, he is an immortal, isn't this letting Lao Tzu go to death? Looking at the bitter melon look on Deputy Qianhu's face, most of them couldn't count on it: "Lord Liu has finally equipped the brothers I brought from Yingzhou with some equipment!" ”
"Hmm...... "Liu Liuyi totaled, Hao Shisan is the master of King Xiao Ming after all, he didn't expect him to be able to take down any city, so he died in the hands of the Yuan army, and he couldn't say anything to King Xiao Ming, once the army was defeated, I'm afraid Hao Shisan could only rely on the protection of these dozen people around him, "The knife can give you some, but the armor is nothing!" ”
Nima! The reason why Hao Shisan didn't want to stay by Han Lin'er's side in Yingzhou was because he considered the cruelty of the internal struggle for power in the Yingzhou Red Turban Army, he was an otaku, and he was not good at such a struggle for power.
There is a heart to order to vote elsewhere, but the Yingzhou Red Turban Army knows that Hao Shisan is the master of King Xiao Ming, Han Lin'er is already weak, if Hao Shisan leaves, it will definitely have a bad impact on Han Lin'er, but he Hao Shisan personally sent Han Lin'er to the whirlpool of this right, I thought that the introduction of the army can be regarded as the foreign aid of King Xiao Ming, and strive for more living space for King Xiao Ming, but I didn't expect that it was difficult to protect myself by only leading this little bit of remnant soldiers, and it was difficult to protect myself, so what to talk about protecting others.
Although the internal struggle for power in the Yingzhou Red Turban Army is serious, after all, King Xiao Ming is a big side of the Ming Sect. And Liu Futong has always been known for military plunder, and he is not good at managing the rear, even if there is no internal struggle for power, it is only a matter of time before the army is defeated.
The so-called pearl secret investment is nothing more than that!
When Hao Shisan followed Fu Qianhu to the barracks, his heart was completely cold.
The team of more than 700 people, of which two or three hundred are considered to be strong, but they are all ragged, and the word "Xu" is big on the chest on the shabby cloth armor, and the old history of this army can be seen, but the rest of the people are all kinds of ragged caftan brown, but they are newly transferred recruits, I am afraid that they have not even seen blood, and it is lucky to see the enemy not to run, let alone fight hard.
However, the two or three thousand war horses in the barracks are all shiny and shiny, and the team of seven hundred people can't use these war horses? I heard that the Mongolian cavalry is good at running, and one person has two or three horses.
"Could it be that these hundreds of people are really the elite of the Red Turban Army?" Hao Shisan thought about it for a while, and found that the problem was wrong.
The army did not even have a single piece of iron armor, and the weapons were even more pitiful, many of the dozens of blunt knives were missing, and the remaining spears were not enough, and there were only two or three hundred people with sharpened ash poles.
When I asked Fu Qianhu, I learned that the horses did not have a dime to do with these people, they were only responsible for raising horses, and they did not have the right to use them, and Fu Qianhu and 700 people were auxiliary soldiers, who were specifically responsible for feeding the military horses of the Yingshang Red Turban Army.
Yue Fei once broke 100,000 in 800,000, but he didn't hear that 700 horsemen could conquer the big city, and he gave me Hao 13 or 700 horsemen in his feelings, and asked me to attack the city.
The following is a more serious problem, the distance from Shouzhou to Yingshang has to ride a horse for a day and a half, these walking horsemen go to Shouzhou, it is estimated that they will not be able to arrive in three days, and the food will only be given for three days, not to mention that there is no strength to fight in Shouzhou, and there is no food back!
Liu Liu gave Hao 13 a one-way ticket - there is no return!
No matter how fucked up life is, you have to live like a mental illness, and the path you choose will be completed on your knees, this is Hao Shisan's attitude towards life.
Fu Qianhu's Chinese military account, Hao 13 found Liu Liu's Xia Ji Village on the dilapidated map of Fu Qianhu, which was stuck between Yingshang and Shouzhou, and it is said that there were 10,000 Mengyuan elite soldiers to defend.
"Qianhu official, let's take a good look at how to take Shouzhou, I'm afraid we won't be able to get through this Xia Ji Village!" Hao Shisan weighed the chips under his hands and said, holding the deputy Qianhu and chattering.
Seven hundred horsemen broke 10,000, even if Wuqu Xing descended to earth, there was nothing he could do.
Fu Qianhu looked bitter and said very pessimistically: "Lord Governor, his subordinates are also the people who rushed over in the thousands of troops, not because his subordinates are afraid of death, these seven hundred foot soldiers under my command, the two or three hundred people brought from Xuzhou did not say anything about the battle, and the charge depends on them, and the remaining four hundred recruits have not seen blood at all, if the first three hundred people win, they can follow the flag and shout to cheer, if they are defeated, they can only be lambs to be slaughtered, we have no cavalry, only seven hundred people, It is simply no match for a charge of the cavalry of the 3,000 Mengyuan Red Horse Exploration Army in Xia Jizhai! ”
"'Outwit when you are strong, capture alive when you are weak', if you calculate it carefully, you may not be able to think of a way to break the enemy!" Hao Shisan was not only to give himself courage but also to pay thousands of households, and suddenly remembered the river from which he came from his raft...... Yingshui.
"Since there are heavy troops on the shore to defend, we can take this Yingshui, from the map, Yingshouzhou City is on the south bank of the Yingshui River, we can bypass the enemy's heavy defense and directly attack the enemy's vital points!"
Fu Qianhu kindly reminded again: "This strategy is good, it can surprise the enemy, I also thought that Liu Liu suggested that 20,000 elite soldiers take the waterway to attack Shouzhou, and the ten thousand households in Xia Jizhai will inevitably return to rescue Shouzhou, and they can wait for work, annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, and solve the threat on the periphery of Yingzhou......"
Hao Shisan secretly sighed that this Fu Qianhu did have some strategies, which was exactly what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, avoiding the truth and waiting for work, but I don't know why Liu Liu didn't take his advice, it may be that Liu Liu is short-sighted, or it may be a portrayal of Fu Qianhu being excluded in the Yingzhou Red Turban Army.
Fu Qianhu said again: "Don't say that we don't have a boat, that is, we have a boat, we only have seven hundred foot soldiers, no siege equipment, even if we arrive at Shouzhou City within a day, we can't capture the city, once the Red Horse Exploration Army of Xia Jizhai comes back to rescue, we will be dumplings!" ”
If Hao 13 could dispatch half of the Red Turban Army on Yingshang, relying on such a combat method, Hao 30 would have absolute confidence that he would be able to take Shouzhou and hold it steadily, but he didn't have that power, only 700 horsemen and foot soldiers.
Obviously, the Liu Futong brothers did a good job and did not give Hao Shisan a chance to perform. Going to Shouzhou is to send him to death, and not going to Shouzhou is not fulfilling Liu Futong's wish? He, Hao Shisan, as the teacher of King Xiao Ming, returned like this, how can he have the face to raise his head among the generals of the Yingzhou Red Turban Army in the future?
