At the foot of the hillside, a tenth general of the Song army cut off Lu Wenhuan's head and held it high in the air, and the strong smell of blood could not be blown away by the wind. Several Song cavalry surrounded them and the ten generals roared loudly, with a look of joy on their faces, and the ten generals also recovered from their excitement and roared angrily:
"Lu Wenhuan has been beheaded!"
"Lu Wenhuan has been beheaded!" Spread all over the mountains, I don't know how many Song cavalry are desperately shouting, they won the battle, and the Mongolian cavalry was busy in vain.
Watching this general who had just surrendered in the Southern Song Dynasty being shot under his nose was definitely a great shame for the Mongolian centurion who guarded him, and the centurion who led the team knew that this sin must be borne by himself, after all, he had no way to confront two centurions at all, and this black cauldron could only be handed over to him to carry.
But no matter what happened after that, such a small number of Song cavalry was so arrogant that it was simply slapping the Mongols in the face. The Mongol cavalry clenched their sabers almost at the same time, and went straight to meet the more Tianwu cavalry that rushed down the hillside.
In front of these cavalry, who have lived on horseback since childhood, even if the cavalry of the Tianwu Army has the advantage of raiding, so they rush down the hillside with an incomparable speed advantage, but the two sides collided for the first time, and the fallen Song cavalry still had more cavalry than the Mongolian cavalry.
Wang Jin, who was standing on the hillside, couldn't help but take a breath lightly, he didn't expect that the Mongolian Tartars would put two Mongolian thousand-man teams in Jinzhou, a place where birds don't, and the combat power was not weak, thinking that it was also the back road left by Liu Cheng and Ah Shu in order to prevent the defeat of Xiangyang, I have to say that it is the famous generals in the world, whether they are victorious or defeated. Such a rainy day plan, Wang Jin asked himself if he couldn't do it.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Wang Jin knew that he should have shot Lu Wenhuan just now and retreated directly, but now there was no other choice, flying on the war horse, Wang Jin pulled out his saber: "Tianwu Junerlang." Kill the Tartars with a certain one! ”
The war horses neighed, and the last dozen or so Wang Jin's personal guard cavalry closely followed their commanders and rushed down the hillside, and after going around in a circle, they crashed straight into the rear of the Mongolian cavalry.
To deal with the Mongol cavalry, unless it is to occupy an absolute advantage, it is better not to face it head-on, the first batch of cavalry rushing down just now has already suffered losses. But fortunately, because of the suddenness of the incident. Therefore, before the Mongol cavalry had time to bend their bows and arrows, the Song army rushed to the front, otherwise the casualties would be serious.
"Dang!" There was a crisp sound, sparks splashed everywhere, Wang Jin and the Mongolian centurion fought against each other, neither of them was an idle person, the war horses were staggered, and the hideousness on each other's faces could be seen face to face. You can also feel the heat coming to your face.
The cold wind was blowing, and the surrounding Mongol and Song cavalry were desperately slashing at each other with knives in their hands.
The earth finally ushered in a long-lost tremor once again. Wang Jin secretly screamed in his heart, although now the cavalry of the Song army began to slowly gain the upper hand with their numbers, but it is estimated that it is impossible to retreat before the Mongolian cavalry comes.
With a false sword, Wang Jin went straight to the horse and slashed the two Mongolian cavalrymen beside him one after another, and then roared angrily: "Tianwu Jun Erlang, withdraw!" ”
The cavalry of the Tianwu Army also realized that something was wrong. They were originally sentinels in various compartments, and if they wanted to say that the ability to fight the battlefield was not as strong as a hundred battles, but the kung fu of the soles of their feet was greased in a hundred battles, but they had to bow down, after all, the task of the sentry cavalry was originally to be able to fight, and if they couldn't fight, they would run, and the most important thing was to send intelligence and news back.
Several horsemen took two steps back. Then he took out the fire thistle from his arms and lit it, and the cavalry in front of him who collided with the Mongolian cavalry knife also quickly retreated, and before the Mongolian cavalry caught up, the stabbing and smoking fire thistle had fallen into the war horse.
The flames of the staggered crowd were flaring, and the first few cavalrymen to withdraw had drawn their horses, which had been specially made for them, and quickly wound up the trigger, and the arrows broke through the air, blocking the Mongol cavalry who were trying to catch up.
Wang Jin didn't look at the Mongolian centurion who gritted his teeth not far away, and led the personal guard cavalry to kill a way, and saw that there were still a few soldiers in the siege, Wang Jin's face suddenly sank, and he turned his horse's head again: "Brothers, kill back!" ”
Several guards were silent, although they knew that the Mongolian cavalry brigade was not far away, and they would definitely come at double speed after receiving the news, but since the commander had given the order, they would not hesitate to go to the soup and fire, not to mention that this was to rescue the besieged robes.
Tianwu Jun's son, if you want to die in the sky, you won't die for thousands of years, I'm afraid that it will do something!
I didn't expect that Wang Jin had already rushed out and killed again, and the Mongolian centurion was also furious, how could a dignified Mongolian man watch you go in and out twice? It's just that the surrounding Mongolian cavalry has not come to their senses, and most of them have already become the souls of Wang Jin's sword.
This one of the top generals of the Tianwu Army was covered in blood, and the saber in his hand was still shiny, and a little blood flowed down the blade. The Mongolian centurion felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't realize just now that he had been fighting with this blood-soaked god-like figure for so long, and it was really a great blessing.
When several besieged Song cavalry saw Wang Jin suddenly come in, their faces showed the joy of being in a desperate situation, and they quickly urged their horses to join Wang Jin. If you can meet such a commander, what does it matter if everyone throws their heads and spills blood?
Wang Jin's war horse slammed into a Mongolian cavalryman, but unexpectedly the horse's hooves stepped on the potholes on the ground, the war horse screamed, and involuntarily fell forward, and Wang Jin on the war horse was also startled by this sudden change, jumped off the horse quickly, and finally avoided the oncoming blade. Several guards roared angrily and forced back the nearby Mongolian cavalry, but Wang Jin did not mean to recapture a war horse, picked up a saber from the ground, held two knives in his hand, danced impenetrable, and the whole person went straight to the Mongolian centurion.
In fact, Wang Jin has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has practiced foot combat, so even if he is dealing with the enemy on the horse. With two knives alone, there is nothing to fear. The son of the Tianwu Army doesn't know how to write the word "afraid", let alone the commander of the left wing!
Well done! The original hesitation and fear of the Mongolian centurion had disappeared, and since this southern barbarian wanted to fight hard, what else did he have to hesitate about. The men on the Mongolian steppe can't have a smaller burden than the southern barbarians, right?
Wang Jin and the Mongolian centurion were staggered, the two sabers in Wang Jin's hand were simultaneously upwards to frame the blades coming through the wind, his steps paused, and then he jumped up suddenly, and actually knocked the Mongolian centurion's mount to the side fiercely, the centurion was also taken aback, I didn't expect this southern barbarian to be really a lot of brute strength, but not waiting for him to come back to his senses. Four or five cavalrymen of the Tianwu Army had already mounted their horses and attacked them.
As Wang Jin's personal guards, they naturally can't watch their boss in danger, not to mention that now the two Mongolian thousand-man teams are close to the left, they must hurry up to rescue Wang Jin, even if all the sons and daughters here are all killed, they can't let the commander do anything because of this.
Wang Jin's life alone is much more precious to the Tianwu Army than these hundreds of cavalry, although Wang Jin himself will not admit it, but at least every soldier who is desperately fighting thinks so. One by one, the cavalry of the Song army desperately gathered in the direction of Wang Jin as if they had gone mad, so that the generals and commanders who could rush into the encirclement several times in order to save the brothers. Every man died for it.
A red battle flag suddenly appeared on the south bank of the Han River, and the sound of horses' hooves became more and more intensive, but the people in the melee were shocked to find that the sound of horses' hooves was not only coming from the north bank, but also from the south bank. Thousands of Song cavalry marched along the south bank of the Han River to this side, and the cavalry in the lead rushed up the frozen Han River without hesitation. And more soldiers stood solemnly on the river beach, holding bows and crossbows, and their eyes breathed fire.
Wang Jin turned over and jumped onto an ownerless war horse, and before he had time to wipe the blood off his face, he squinted his eyes to see clearly the Song cavalry that suddenly appeared. The general flag in the middle was a big "Yang" character, Wang Jin suddenly understood, and breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect that it was Yang Bao who saved me in the end, this guy was really bold, and he actually brought out the Xiangyang cavalry! Otherwise, Wang Jin would not have imagined that there would be so many cavalry in the surrounding state capitals controlled by the Song army.
And the sound of killing behind him also rose suddenly, the cavalry of the Song army in the middle of the Han River has been frantically shooting with the Mongolian cavalry who came one after another, although the Song army is difficult to move among the arrows, but their bows and crossbows are more advanced, so for a time neither side has the upper hand.
"Withdraw!" Wang Jin looked at this sudden battle, his face showed the joy of being in a desperate situation, after all, the Xiangyang cavalry was also the bottom of the box by the Lu family over the years, but the strength of this shot was not weak at all, Wang Jin was finally relieved.
Only the remaining forty or fifty cavalry of the Tianwu Army roared at the same time to kill a bloody road, and everyone was covered in blood, but when they rode forward, no Mongolian cavalry dared to stop them, because the Mongolian cavalry was inferior to them, and there were only more than thirty people at this time.
There were corpses of men and horses everywhere, maybe it was just a trivial battle, and the two sides invested only two hundred cavalry, but in less than a quarter of an hour, these two quite elite cavalry teams each lost five or six tenths of the men and horses, it can not be said that it was not a tragic battle, not to mention that it was in this small battle that Lu Wenhuan's head was obtained by Wang Jin.
Glancing back at the Mongolian centurion who silently gathered his subordinates, Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted the head that had just been hung on the saddle, this turbulent sea that had lasted for nearly a month could finally be calmed down.
The battle of Xiangyang of the Tianwu Army is finally about to come to a perfect end.
Lu Wenhuan has died, the southern barbarian cavalry on the Han River is eyeing the tiger, and the small Song cavalry is to kill the mountain that is heavily surrounded to one side, for these two thousand Mongolian cavalry, it can almost be said that it is a dilemma.
But to let go of their hands and feet and fight with these arrogant southern barbarians, the two commanders felt that they had no bottom in their hearts, after all, after the battle of Xiangyang, the entire Mongolian army around Xiangyang was overstretched, and this time two thousand troops were able to draw out two thousand people to meet Lu Wenhuan, in fact, it was already Liu Quan's best efforts, so Jinzhou was already close to the empty city, if the Tianwu Army was interested, maybe they would drink tea in Jinzhou at this time.
What's more, the broken cavalry was already able to hear voices in the distance. It is said that the infantry of the Tianwu Army is not far from here, and the two commanders do not have the courage to face the mighty army of the Tianwu Army, after all, they are only two thousand cavalry.
For the Tianwu Army, when were the two thousand cavalry afraid?
"Return to the Golden State!" The two centurions glanced at each other, and immediately made up their minds at the same time, anyway, this black cauldron was to be handed over to the centurion to carry. And Lu Wenhuan, who has died, is greedy for life and afraid of death, insists on going his own way, and says that he will take some responsibility, not to mention that the two of them are helpless in order to keep their subordinates, so many reasons add up, Lu Wenhuan's death basically has nothing to do with them, not to mention that they also escorted Lu Wenhuan's family out, which can be regarded as a credit.
The calculation in their hearts was very clear, and the two commanders finally breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it is the cunning and changeable southern barbarians. is still an upright Mongolian Tartar, but there is an unexpected consistency in this kind of shirking responsibility and carrying the black pot, which cannot but be amazing.
――――――――――――――
Ye Yingwu learned the news of Lu Wenhuan's death on the way to Xiangyang.
Nodding at the six gate guards who rushed over, Ye Yingwu reined in his war horse without saying a word, and then rushed straight to a high hill near the left side of the road. It is not far from Xiangyang here, and the west is the Hutou Mountain, which once made the Tianwu Army bloody, and the north can already see the outline of Xiangyang's tall and majestic city in the faint light.
This is a strong city that symbolizes the Southern Song Dynasty in the Jinghu area of the middle road. It did not go through six years of blood, fire and hunger as it did in history, and at this time it still showed its indestructible majestic form.
A gentle breeze blows in your face. There is even a faint sense of warmth. Ye Yingwu exhaled a long breath, it had been almost a year since he came to this era, and he finally ended the battle of Xiangyang in the most perfect way.
On the way here just now, Ye Yingwu received not only the news that Lu Wenhuan was killed, but also the court's affirmation of the bloody battle of the Tianwu Army and the reward that people had to sigh, it can be said that in order to appease Ye Yingwu. Jia Yidao and Weng Yinglong made a bloody investment this time, so that Ye Yingwu could no longer attack the strength of the Lu family in the Xiangyang area, of course, this was when Lin'an had not received the news of Lu Wenhuan's defection.
If Jia Yidao and they knew that Lu Wenhuan, who was doing his best to defend, would finally "live up to expectations" and flee Mongolia, and implement all the charges. I'm afraid the smile on my face is more ugly than crying.
In February of the third year of Xianchun, the Song Dynasty rewarded the brave soldiers in the Battle of Xiangyang, and announced it to all the state capitals in the world in the form of a letter, in order to quell the protest activities of the joint letter in various places more quickly. In the edict, the official family and Jia Xianggong expressed their condolences to the front-line soldiers in Xiangyang and their deep condolences to all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
However, what really interested the officials was the long list of rewards that could not be seen at a glance, and the rewards were basically approved according to the list submitted by Ye Yingwu.
The Great Song Dynasty along the Yangtze River system deputy envoy, the Tianwu Army four compartments are the commander of the envoy and Zhixingzhou Ye Yingwu, led the Tianwu Army to fight bravely, three battles and three victories, breaking the enemy in Anyang Beach, 100,000 Mongolian foot cavalry talking and laughing between ashes, this immortal achievement, the honor to, Jin Feng Great Song Dynasty along the Yangtze River system ambassador and Jingnan Road soldiers and horses are under the jurisdiction, the general leader of Jingnan Road, Jinghu North Road, Jiangnan West Road all the military horses, and into Jingzhou Jiedu envoy, Jialong Tuge University scholars, led the Tianwu Army to return victorious soldiers into Lin'an Xianjie.
All the banners of the Great Song Tianwu Army commanded the soldiers to take the lead, led the army to fight to the death, the battle flag was opened, the death did not spin, and the meritorious deeds were lined up side by side.
The front compartment of the Tianwu Army is commanded by Jiang Hao, and the four compartments of the Tianwu Army are commanded, and the Huangzhou Zhizhou and the light car are all lieutenants, and the front compartment is Yu Hou Yin Yu enters the Tianwu Army and the four compartments are Yu Hou, and the Qizhou Zhizhou and the upper cavalry are all lieutenants.
The left compartment of the Tianwu Army commanded Wang Jin, and the four compartments of the Shence Army were commanded by the envoys, and the governor of Yingzhou and the light car were all lieutenants, and the left carriage was Yu Hou Tang Zhen, and the four compartments of the Shence Army were all Yu Hou, and Yingzhou was sentenced and mounted as a lieutenant.
The Tianwu Army commanded Yang Bao, the four compartments of the Jinshen Guard, and added the deputy envoy of Jingnan Road to pacify the town, Xiangyang, and the lieutenant of the light car. The rear carriage of the Tianwu Army is Yu Hou Bian Juyi, and the four compartments of the Shenwei Army are Yu Hou, and the envoy of the southwest road of Beijing, the town of Xiangyang, and the cavalry captain.
The four compartments of the Tianwu Army waited for Wen Tianxiang, entered the Jingnan Road to pacify the envoy, the deputy envoy along the river, knew Xiangyang, added the Guozi sacrificial wine, and led the war on the Jingnan Road.
Wang Lixin, the pacification envoy of Hunan and the governor of Ezhou, entered the pacification envoy of Jinghu North Road, and set up a deputy envoy along the river, knew Ezhou, and led the war on Jinghu North Road.
The commander-in-chief of the Tianwu Army is Jiang Duo, and the commander-in-chief of the southwest road into Beijing is the commander of the soldiers.
Xingzhou sentenced Lu Xiufu, the deputy envoy to Xingzhou Zhizhou and the Yangtze River, and was responsible for the garrison of Jiangnan West Road.
The Yingzhou Naval Division was rebuilt after the war, and the Xingzhou Naval Division and the Jinghu Naval Division were stationed in each station. In addition, Fan Wenhu and other close generals who are close to Jia Nidao also have many rewards and promotions, of course, they are a little insignificant under the aura of the Tianwu Army.
Ye Yingwu didn't have much feeling for such a heavy reward from the imperial court, after all, he won the fruits of the victory in the Battle of Xiangyang, so he deserved such a reward, and it can only be said that Jia Yidao and Weng Yinglong are quite acquainted.
And the promotion of the commanders of all the wings of the Tianwu Army is also a certainty, after all, Ye Yingwu is getting higher and higher, and it is impossible to still occupy the position of the commander of the four compartments of the Tianwu Army, this time it is also because this kid may not be as capable as Yang Bao and Wang Jin, but he is the most familiar with Ye Yingwu and the most intimate with Ye Yingwu, so the acceptance of him by all compartments of the Tianwu Army is naturally the highest.
Based on the front compartment of the Tianwu Army, the Tianwu Army was expanded, with a number of 50,000 people; Based on the left wing of the Tianwu Army and the troops stationed in Ezhou, the Shence Army was expanded, with a number of 50,000 people; Based on the middle army, the rear chamber and the Xiangyang garrison of the Tianwu Army, the Shenwei Army was expanded to 80,000 people.
Coupled with the defenders left behind, Ye Yingwu wanted to concentrate 200,000 troops in the Xiangyang area and hand them over to Wen Tianxiang, looking at the entire Tianwu army, only Wen Tianxiang could afford this heavy responsibility, and manage Xiangyang, a crucial Northern Expedition base, and the main force of the 200,000 Northern Expedition. Coupled with the assistance of Yang Bao, Bian Juyi, Deng Guangjian and others, this is enough.
What's more, Ye Yingwu also transferred Xie Fangde directly to Xiangyang, and partnered with Niu Fu to garrison Fancheng. However, his brother is about to be wronged, and he has to squat in Tongshan County as a small magistrate, after all, Tongshan County is the heart and the source of power for the Tianwu Army, and there is no room for loss.
As for himself, Ye Yingwu sat on horseback and subconsciously looked back at the east.
Lin'an, a certain Ye Yingwu this time, but he is going to return with honor! (To be continued.) )
