Chapter 190: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain and Stirring the Snake

PS: The book review area is very lively, at least this shows that someone is caring, and I would like to offer a double thanks. But ~ the author still wants to explain that as a freshman student, we still focus on academics, we have to go to class every day, plus the ghost knows why there is a late self-study, so it's good to be able to guarantee an update every day, and you can fatten up and watch again. I've also experienced the pain of waiting for updates (especially a god like Ao Gonggong, who updates all by interest) After all, the little brother can do his best to do one change a day, not lazy, and please forgive me

"I thought Suizhou couldn't move."

This was the first thing Liu Shiyong said when he saw Fan Tianshun, and it was straightforward.

This is inevitably a little too disrespectful of our unity, does this guy really put what Xingzhou Sailor and the dignified Jinghu Sailor are on the same level, right?! Several generals of the Jinghu Water Division were immediately furious, ready to go up and beat this guy who didn't know the height of the sky.

It's just that Fan Tianshun quickly stopped them, looked at Liu Shiyong, and said solemnly: "Presumably, this is Liu Dutong, the sailor of Xingzhou, who has admired his name for a long time." Who is Liu Dutong, since he said it so directly, he knows it. Suizhou can't fight, I don't know whose opinion it is? Ye Zhizhou instructed in advance or did Liu Dutong make his own opinion? ”

Although Fan Tianshun did not plan to conflict with Liu Shiyong, he was inevitably angry, and this was also a hidden needle.

If Ye Yingwu instructed in advance, the situation on the battlefield would change rapidly, and the general would not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs, how could he decide to act a few days later because of an order a few days ago, wouldn't it be ridiculous (although the Northern Song Dynasty had always done this in the early Northern Song Dynasty, and the emperor drew a formation map before the generals went on the expedition and fought according to the formation map).

If you Liu Shiyong make your own opinion, then I'm sorry, why is it that a certain Fan Tianshun, the Jinghu Commander, is a grade higher than your "pheasant" Xingzhou Sailor Commander, even if the two are on an equal footing, there is no need to listen to you.

Liu Shiyong didn't seem to notice the meaning of this, or maybe he didn't pay attention to it at all, but said with a smile: "Both." ”

Fan Tianshun was stunned. immediately understood that Liu Shiyong had made up his mind, and he could not scare him away with just a few words. And no matter how Ye Yingwu views Suizhou, Fan Tianshun still admires Ye Yingwu very much. So I also want to hear Ye Yingwu's opinion: "Well, if Liu Dutong can say why, then he is to obey Liu Dutong's orders, what's the matter, isn't everything he does to fight against the Tartars." ”

Liu Shiyong smiled. Undeniable, he walked straight to the bow of the boat and said softly: "Dare to ask Fan Dutong, why do you want to attack Suizhou?" ”

Suddenly asked by Liu Shiyong, Fan Tianshun said unhurriedly: "Suizhou occupies the north bank of the Han River, and Yingzhou faces each other across the water. Even if it is difficult to stop, it will inevitably drag it down. What's more, Suizhou is also an important town for hoarding grain and grass on the north bank of the Han River, and if Suizhou can be conquered, the Tartars will suffer a lot of losses. ”

"But did Fan Dutong ever think that with these sailor warships like you and me, he could defend the city after conquering Suizhou?" Liu Shiyong said slowly, "Even if Ye Yuanjun can rush over in time with tens of thousands of Heavenly Martial Army foot soldiers, he will still face Ashu's 150,000 army. Suizhou was conquered by us, which is equivalent to planting a nail in the heart of Ashu, and the Mongolian Tartars will definitely come out, how long does Fan Dutong think he can hold on? ”

Fan Tianshun choked, and after a while, he waved his sleeves a little angrily: "How can it be a lonely battle." There are still 150,000 of my Great Song Xiongshi in Xiangyang, if all the Tartars come to Suizhou, Lu will appease them and naturally will not sit idly by and see death! If you can rely on the water to go ashore, the two phases are sandwiched. Although the Mongol Tatars were outnumbered, they were inevitably defeated. ”

Hearing this, Liu Shiyong became interested, and looked at Fan Tianshun with a smile, but he didn't say a word. Fan Tianshun was a little strange by him, and at this time, Liu Shiyong said lightly: "Fan Dutong is too wishful thinking. If you don't save you when you die, you can't sit idly by. Do you think the Lu family brothers can't do it? Look at what they've done. ”

This time it was Fan Tianshun's turn to be silent, and Liu Shiyong's voice turned cold: "So neither Junhe nor a certain person plans to conquer Suizhou, first, there is actually not much grain and grass in Suizhou, not even as good as Guangzhou, and it is inevitable that the gains will outweigh the losses in conquering Suizhou for these grains and grasses; Second, the Mongolian Tartars are in the north of Suizhou City, and they can't be unaware of such a big movement in our siege, once the Mongolian Tartars cover up, they can certainly escape with the naval warships, but Ye Zhijun and their tens of thousands of foot soldiers are very likely to be found and surrounded on the way westward, who can bear this responsibility? ”

Taking a breath of cool air, Fan Tianshun Huo Ran looked back at Liu Shiyong and solemnly arched his hand: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." Just now I was reckless, and I asked Liu Dutong not to be surprised. What should be done next, please Liu Dutong do not hesitate to give advice. ”

Fan Tianshun was suddenly so polite, but it really frightened Liu Shiyong, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, a certain thief thinks that he should continue to clear the surrounding scouts at the moment, if he can transfer the tiger away from the mountain, it would be better to transfer the garrison army in the north of Suizhou to the west." ”

"Turning the tiger away from the mountain?" Fan Tianshun repeated, "Could it be that Liu Dutong wants to send a fleet to hunt down the Mongolian sailors or even attack the sailors' camp?" ”

"There's no better idea right now." Liu Shiyong nodded and said, "At least then Ah Shu won't suspect that Ye Yuanjun is preparing to evacuate from Suizhou, and even be able to shift more attention to the west." ”

"Okay, I'll assign it now." Fan Tianshun agreed, after all, the top priority now is to take Ye Yingwu's more than 15,000 Tianwu soldiers out of the encirclement, and a few feints are still worth it.

————————————

Shang Badu is just an ordinary Mongolian cavalry centurion, not to mention that whether it is wrestling or riding and shooting, Shang Badu is three points weaker than other centurions, so he has never been reused by his superiors.

Looking around, the age of his hundred-man team is really uneven, a hairy boy who is less than twenty years old, a veteran over forty years older than Shang Batu, and even two arms disabled, it can really be called all kinds of soldiers that others don't want under Shang Badu, to put it mildly, it is a "scrap yard".

This time the Mongol cavalry sent 12,000 men to the east. The thousand-man team where Shang Batu is located is responsible for the back road behind the army, because there are Suizhou and Xinyang armies behind it, and the main forces of the Mongolian army are gathered everywhere, and there is no problem in the back road. So the commander didn't even think about it, so he asked Shang Badu to take people to break off.

A team of 100 people can be used as a rear scout who basically has no role after the break, and it is enough, even if Ye Yingwu leads the Tianwu army, I am afraid it will be difficult to do better.

Shang Badu was a little bored and even helpless and rode his horse slowly, except for these hundred or so people in the wasteland. There was no shadow of even a mouse, only the wild grass swayed in the winter wind, and a feeling of loneliness at sunset arose.

Although he knew that he was not a hero, as can be seen from the fact that he had never won in riding and archery or wrestling, he was not willing to take on the task of eating dust behind the entire army, and when the time came, he was afraid that the meat would be eaten up, and there would not even be a bite of soup left.

It is said that this bold Song army went north, but there were only 15,000 people, and more than 12,000 Mongolian cavalry were dispatched to block their way south.

A young soldier slowly stepped forward and walked side by side: "Centurion, do we want to speed up and catch up." Anyway, according to a certain point of view, even if we don't stay, I'm afraid it's not a big deal, can those southern barbarians still come out of Suizhou? ”

Shang Ba was a little moved, and he vaguely guessed that after he got himself out and broke off, it was just the commander of the thousand to make a show for the captain, even if he caught up with the team, the commander of the thousand would not be able to do anything to himself, and he could eat early. Otherwise, by the time these 100 people arrive at the camp, I'm afraid it will be a cold scrap.

Just when Shang Badu gritted his teeth and prepared to speed up. A slender figure appeared on the hillside not far away, as if shocked by the Mongol cavalry in the wilderness, and the figure ran away as fast as a frightened rabbit.

Slightly stunned, Shang Badu had an ominous premonition in his heart. This feeling will be felt every time he falls to the ground after a failed wrestling, and this time it is irrepressibly floating in his mind, but as a Mongolian warrior who serves as a centurion, Shang Badu naturally does not run away, but chooses to lead people to catch up with that figure.

Even Shang Batu didn't send anyone to catch up with the army and give a notice, if it was just an ordinary person. Let the whole army of chickens and dogs jump, it is estimated that the commander will not let go of himself at that time. Therefore, Shang Ba is ready to see clearly before making a decision.

After all, in this desolate wilderness, a Mongolian hundred-man team has not yet been born!

Hundreds of cavalry swept up the smoke and rushed to the hillside.

And when Shang Batu jumped up the hill first, he was stunned.

Because just in the distance of him, where heaven and earth meet, a huge army is moving forward cautiously, and there is not even smoke and dust to rise, and tens of thousands of people are silently advancing in the barren grass. Shang Badu suddenly felt that the blood on his body was cold.

Although this infantry brigade of tens of thousands of people has no banner, it is impossible for Mongolia to have such an infantry brigade to the west and to Suizhou at this time! Then there is only one possibility, this is the southern barbarians of Gwangju!

It's just that this is the last year for most of Shang Badu's hundred-man team, because the next moment they jumped up the hill, dense arrows came out of the grass and drowned most of them, and the ambush soldiers composed of the elite of the Jinyi Guard and even Ye Yingwu's personal guards drilled out of the waist-high or even roofless barren grass, with spears in front and swords and shields on both sides, this formation was enough to deal with these "old, weak, sick and disabled" Mongolian cavalry.

"Put!" Zhang Cheng's face was gloomy as water, and he said coldly.

The Divine Arm Crossbow fired another volley, and at this time there were less than ten Mongolian cavalry who could sit on horseback, and they were quickly beheaded off their horses by the Song soldiers who were surrounded by them.

Shang Badu waved the saber in his hand and blocked the spear that stabbed at his waist, but he didn't watch out for a figure rushing out from one side, and the flash of the knife had already cut off the two legs of the war horse under his crotch, Shang Badu suddenly couldn't sit steadily, and before he could exclaim, he was already stabbed in the chest by four or five spears at the same time.

The brilliance in his eyes inevitably dissipated after all, and Shang Batu could only snort softly in his throat at this time, and then rolled off the horse's back. It's just that the few shots just now didn't hit the vital point, and although he was covered in blood, he still wanted to crawl on the ground with difficulty, almost with all his strength. The Mongolian centurion, who had never been taken seriously, muttered:

"Southern Barbarian······ The Southern Barbarians ······ to the west"

Zhang Cheng squatted down with interest, looking at this dying man, he had shed enough blood, even if the wound was not fatal. He will also lose too much blood and die. Sighing softly, Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand and patted Shang Badu's shoulder, then gritted his teeth and stabbed him in the heart with a knife. For this Mongolian centurion who still wanted to insist on warning the army at the last moment, Zhang Cheng still had some admiration.

Although his men were all old and sick, although he should not be reckless and rush up the hill with all the people. Although his own martial arts were low, he was weak in the face of three or four spearmen, but until the last moment of his life, he still did not give up.

Shaking his head, Zhang Cheng stood up and did not wipe the blood stains on his armor. This is the last hundred-man team of the Mongolian cavalry, and if this hundred-man team is solved, the Tianwu Army will completely pass by the Mongolian cavalry. This Mongolian hundred-man team is coming in the direction of the Tianwu Army, and if they are not eliminated, they will be defeated if they are discovered.

Of course, this is also dangerous, after all, it is impossible for the Mongols to disappear into thin air without discovering that one of their centurions. Now we can only hope that the Mongols will not stop until they have to advance a lot, and they think that this 100-strong Mongolian cavalry team of 100 people who are old, weak, sick and disabled will run directly back to the city for fear of war.

There was the sound of horses' hooves behind Zhang Cheng, but it was Ye Yingwu who came in person. Turning off the horse, Ye Yingwu walked up the hill with one foot and one foot shallow, and the corpses were scattered horizontally and vertically, and the war horses that were still intact were directly taken away, after all, there were still wounded soldiers from the Battle of Gwangju, and these horses were better than nothing.

"This is the rearguard of the Mongol cavalry?" Ye Yingwu asked softly.

Zhang Cheng didn't dare to hesitate and nodded.

"That means to say," Ye Yingwu looked to the east intentionally or unintentionally. Although there was no smoke and dust there, everyone present knew that tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry were heading to Gwangju day and night, "It is very likely that we will be caught up by the Tatar cavalry that turned around before we arrived in Suizhou?" ”

"It's not impossible." Zhang Cheng's face was heavy. "And it's often a situation that we can't detect, as long as we catch up······ Deathtrap. ”

Ye Yingwu didn't say anything more, but exhaled lightly, and saw Yang Xu walking up briskly from the bottom of the hillside: "Envoy, the sailor has already entered the Lianshui, as long as it reaches the shore of the Lianshui south of Suizhou." It's basically out of danger. ”

"Liu Shiyong, Fan Tianshun, don't let someone down." Ye Yingwu said lightly, this time in fact, the last hope is pinned on the two sailors, as long as they fight well in the water, or even in the Han River to contain Mongolia, it is estimated that they will be able to survive safely without danger along the way, but if they ······ Ye Yingwu didn't intend to guess what the final outcome would be in that case.

The big deal is that when I went north a few days ago, I didn't expect it to be such a good ending. Ye Yingwu took two steps forward, looked at the team of foot soldiers who were slowly moving forward, seemed to have made up his mind, and looked back at Zhang Cheng suddenly:

"How long will it take for us to get to Lianshui?"

"According to this, it is estimated that it will take the second half of the night, and it will be non-stop on the road." Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "You must arrive at night, if it is during the day, it will inevitably be discovered by the Mongolian sentinels, after all, Suizhou is also the capital of the Mongolian heavy garrison." ”

Gritting his teeth, Ye Yingwu said coldly: "Order all departments, speed up the pace, the whole army is marching forward, and there can be no delay for a moment!" ”

Zhang Cheng said hesitantly: "Envoy, there are hundreds of wounded soldiers, if we advance with the whole army, it will be impossible at all······ Could it be that the envoy is planning to give up on them? ”

Ye Yingwu turned to look at Zhang Cheng, his face gloomy: "Let them ride horses, the war horses of a certain and all the war horses of the guards, all of them will be taken, and the other hundred battles will be evenly out of a hundred horses." No matter what time it is, these brothers who fought bloodily cannot be left behind! ”

"Envoy!" Not only Zhang Cheng, but also Yang Xu and Jiang Tie and others on the side all exclaimed. Letting Ye Yingwu walk is tantamount to a great shame for them, the generals under their command!

Ye Yingwu didn't give them the slightest chance to argue, and his voice became colder: "What, do you want to listen to a certain order?!" ”

"The last general will not dare." Seeing that Ye Yingwu seemed to be furious, Zhang Cheng and Jiang Tie were moved, and took the lead in kneeling on one knee. They are all good boys, isn't the eye socket of the person around him already moist? Yang Xu looked at Ye Yingwu with some concern, but after all, he sighed softly and didn't say anything.

Glancing sideways at Xiao Yangzi beside him, Ye Yingwu's voice also became gentle: "Xiao Yangzi, let the horse out and follow a certain to Zhuanshui, do you dare?" ”

Xiao Yangzi smiled: "What is there to dare to do?" The big guy didn't walk over, this horse and the villain have already ridden awkwardly! ”

Ye Yingwu didn't look at the others again, and walked towards the long queue with Xiao Yangzi one after the other. And Zhang Cheng, Jiang Tie and the others smiled helplessly, at this time, no one had the ability to make the envoy change his mind.

Not far away, with Ye Yingwu's order, the originally slow queue also suddenly accelerated. (To be continued.) )
