The first year of Tianqing, 1259 A.D., the tenth day of the eleventh month of the leap month. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Mongol army finally began to launch an attack on the city of Ezhou.

Nearly 20,000 sergeants of the left and right armies of the Ezhou Imperial Front Army and the Youyi Army stationed outside the city all participated in the battle with the Mongolian army.

The Yamen of the Assassin History has become the busiest place in Ezhou City, within a distance of 500 steps outside the Yamen is a forbidden area, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to approach, Lu Wende, the deputy envoy of Sichuan Chengxuan, the army in front of the Ezhou Imperial Palace, Zhang Sheng and others in Ezhou are assassinating the Yamen all day long, and the hardest ones are those strategists.

Thorn Shi Yamen, lobby.

Zhang Sheng frowned, and Lu Wende looked leisurely.

It is said that the Mongolian army has launched an attack on the city of Ezhou, so many previous judgments may have been deviated, and Lu Wende should also be anxious.

"Lord Lu, whether the Mongolian army is preparing to withdraw on all fronts, I don't think it is possible to draw conclusions at present."

"Lord Zhang, the situation is already very clear, the fighting lasted for two days, the Mongolian army did not advance at all, the soldiers on the front line, the battle casualties are not very large, even the officers on the front line, they all think that the Mongolian army's offensive posture is not so violent, imagine that if the Mongolian army is ready to take Ezhou City in one fell swoop, how can the attack be so weak, such a situation, can only show that the large army of the Mongolian army has begun to withdraw from Huangzhou, at this moment, we are extremely decided, send a large army out of the city, to launch an attack on the Mongolian army, In this way, the attacking Mongolian army can be completely defeated, and Huangzhou and Qizhou can be recovered. ”

Zhang Sheng looked up at Lu Wende and didn't speak immediately.

The defeat of the Mongol army and the recovery of Huangzhou and Qizhou are great merits, and everyone wants to be able to obtain them.

However, judging from the current situation, the one who can have such strength is the army under Lu Wende.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Sheng already believed that the Mongolian army had begun to withdraw on a large scale, and it was said that the attack could be launched at the end of last month, but it was postponed for more than ten days, and the offensive really began, and the Mongolian army's offensive was not fierce at all.

The so-called luring of the enemy into the depths should not exist, and the top-secret news from the direction of Huangzhou has already left Huangzhou and headed for Hebei.

Zhang Sheng did not dare to continue to insist on his own opinion, if he delayed the great fighter plane, and when the Mongolian army really safely evacuated Huangzhou and other places, then he would definitely be impeached, and it might be difficult to keep his position.

"What does Lord Lu mean, which sergeants will be sent out of the city to fight."

"This time out of the city to attack, I personally led an army of 15,000, as for the Ezhou Imperial Army, whether to send some of the soldiers out of the city to fight, it depends on the meaning of Lord Zhang, after I led the army out of the city to fight, the safety of the Ezhou City is tied to Lord Zhang, it is better to be cautious."

"The imperial armies of Ezhou, the left army, the right army and the youyi army, are fighting outside the city, I mean, these large armies fighting outside the city are under the command of Lord Lu, and the rest of the armies will stay in Ezhou City."

Lu Wende looked at Zhang Sheng, and still spoke slowly.

"I heard that there is a strong man in the imperial army of Ezhou, named Wu Shaogang, and now he is a general in the urging army, I intend to take Wu Shaogang out of the city to fight, such a strong man, he must go to the front of the battle to kill the enemy."

Zhang Sheng looked at Lu Wende, there was not much expression on his face, this Wu Shaogang, of course he remembered, but he didn't have much impression anymore.

"Lord Lu can see it, just send it to fight, Lord Lu is leading the army to aid Ezhou, if I don't support it, I have no opinion on how to say it in the past."

Su Zongcai, who was not far behind Zhang Sheng, his face changed instantly, he originally wanted to speak, but unfortunately he didn't have time, and Zhang Sheng had already spoken very hard, so it was not easy for him to continue to speak.

When Su Zongcai's gaze came over, it happened to collide with Lu Wende's eyes.

Soon, Su Zongcai lowered his head, he had already read something from Lu Wende's eyes, and at this time, the wisest choice was to shut up obediently.

In just half an hour, the army in Ezhou City began to assemble in large numbers, of course, this assembly was carried out inside the barracks, and the officers above the general level went directly to the hall to assemble and wait for the dispatch order.

The one who went to Ezhou to urge the front army to give the order was the other driver of the Ezhou Assassin Yamen.

Those who came were Su Zongcai and Li Siqi.

When he received the order, Wu Shaogang was a little surprised, because the entire urging army, only his general, and the two hundred people under his command were transferred out to fight, and the remaining two thousand people were all left in the barracks.

It is said that even if the army is mobilized to fight, it should be the entire army, or the majority of the sergeants.

After seeing Su Zongcai and Li Siqi, Wu Shaogang instantly understood the meaning.

It seems that this is a direct request from Lu Wende, and I am afraid that the commander of the Urging Front Army, Gundam, will not know about it.

The other driver of the Assassin Shi Yamen, as well as Su Zongcai and Li Siqi came to the barracks, it would definitely attract attention, and just when Wu Shao just accepted the order, Gundam came over.

Seeing the order signed by Zhang Sheng, the commander of the capital, Gundam's face was very ugly, but because of Su Zongcai's presence, it was not easy to lose his temper.

"Don't drive your lord, Mr. Su, going out of the city to kill the enemy is a matter of reinforcements from Sichuan, and the duty of the Urging Front Army is to protect the city of Ezhou, I don't know why I want to transfer the soldiers of the Urging Front Army."

Bei Jia and Li Siqi both looked at Su Zongcai.

Su Zongcai's face is also not good-looking, but at this moment, he must be cautious, you must know that Gundam is a strong general among the imperial armies in Ezhou, and he is reckless in doing things, once there is a big conflict, he Su Zongcai's life will not be easy.

"Commander Gao, this is the order of the marshal, and besides, it is all to surround the city of Ezhou and defeat the Mongolian army. . . ."

With such an explanation, Gao Da must have been dissatisfied, he looked at Su Zongcai and the others, and opened his mouth angrily.

"I'm going to see the marshal, General Wu, don't leave the barracks, otherwise I will be punished by military law...

Gundam left in a hurry, leaving behind Su Zongcai and Bei Jia, who looked embarrassed.

Li Siqi's face didn't have much expression, he looked at Su Zongcai and didn't speak.

Gundam's move is obviously inappropriate, Zhang Sheng has already signed the order, as a subordinate of Gundam, he must carry out the order, this is the minimum rule.

Su Zongcai looked at Bei Jia, Li Siqi and the others, and spoke with difficulty.

"Just wait a minute...

In fact, Su Zongcai didn't want Wu Shaogang to leave the Urging Army, he knew very well that once Wu Shaogang followed Lu Wende out of the city to fight, there was no possibility of returning to the Urging Army, if this battle was won, then Lu Wende would definitely recommend Wu Shaogang, and it would be impossible for Wu Shaogang to return to Ezhou at that time, even if the battle was temporarily lost, then Lu Wende had more reason to keep the brave Wu Shaogang by his side to fight.

Wu Shaogang's ability, Su Zong is fully recognized, such a talent can't stay in Ezhou, it's a pity.

However, Su Zongcai is a strategist after all, and many things cannot be decided, and the biggest problem among them is that the handsome Zhang Sheng has not discovered Wu Shaogang's ability at all, and his opinion of Wu Shaogang is not very good.

Su Zongcai concluded that it was impossible for Gao Gao to go to the Yamen of the Assassin History to have any good results, after all, Zhang Sheng made a clear statement in front of Lu Wende, and it was impossible to overturn the decision he made.

Half an hour later, Niu Degong came over with a depressed expression.

Looking at everyone, Niu Degong spoke to Wu Shaogang.

"General Wu, congratulations, you can follow Deputy Envoy Lu Chengxuan out of the city to fight, and you will have a future in the future, don't forget our brothers."

Niu Degong left the barracks with Gundam, and Gundam did not come back at this moment, Niu Degong said these words, and the meaning was very clear.

After Niu Degong said these words, he didn't look at the others, turned around and left.

A few minutes later, Wu Shaogang gathered his sergeants and followed Li Siqi to the location of the pavilion.

Bei Jia, Su Zongcai and others returned to the Yamen of the Assassin History.

Thorn Shi Yamen, lobby.

Zhang Sheng's face turned blue and looked at Gundam.

"Gundam, what do you want me to say about you, it's just a general, what's the big deal with the transfer, what kind of trouble are you making, go to the barracks, and Mr. Li, you are making such a fuss, if you let Lord Lu know, what will you think of our Ezhou Imperial Army, is it difficult for Lord Lu to say that I have no way to control it? . . ."

Gundam seemed to be unconvinced, and when he came to the Assassin Shi Yamen, when he saw Zhang Sheng, before he could speak, Zhang Sheng ordered Niu Degong to return to the barracks, and told Beijia and Su Zongcai that the order must be carried out, as for Gundam, he stayed.

Gundam is Zhang Sheng's favorite general, and he is very trustworthy and respectful, if it were someone else, Zhang Sheng would have been furious.

"Dashuai, this Wu Shaogang is indeed capable...

"Do you still want to quibble, what ability does Wu Shaogang have, is it possible that I don't know, but it is an ordinary contest, winning Niu Degong, what's the big deal, can the battle on the battlefield be compared with the battle on weekdays, you remember, I don't want to see this situation happen again in the future, when is it now, the Mongolian army is attacking outside the city, if the military orders cannot be implemented, how can we fight with the Mongolian army...

Gundam left dejected, knowing that it was all irretrievable.

Su Zongcai, who returned to the Assassin History Yamen, was also in a very bad mood, just after Gundam left, he also went to the lobby and was reprimanded by Zhang Sheng, after all, Su Zongcai did not stop Gundam's behavior in person.

Su Zongcai originally wanted to explain, but after looking at Zhang Sheng's expression, he didn't speak.

Leap 15th month, Mao time.

Lu Wende led an army of 15,000 and left the city of Ezhou and headed towards the battlefield.

Following behind him, there was Wu Shaogang, the general of the Urging Front Army.
