Chapter 221: The Lonely Army's Blood Stains the Mountaintop (Part II)
PS: For the sake of just running 2400m and still facing the VB exam, let's go on a single shift todayγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"Chengzi, where is the grain route for the Mongolian Tatars to the south?" Ye Yingwu looked at Zhang Cheng, "In what direction did the grain and grass of the 150,000 army come from to the foot of Hutou Mountain?" β
Zhang Cheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull a horizontal line from Suizhou: "Because there are basically only a few of our sentinel activities on the north bank, the Mongols did not do much to cover up, after the grain and grass were transferred from Heluo to Suizhou, they were directly transported from Suizhou to Hutou Mountain through the Han River, but each grain team will be escorted by at least one cavalry team of 1,000 people and several foot soldiers and 100 people." β
"Where did Li Anfu and General Xia lead the Huai army?" Ye Yingwu nodded, in terms of grain and grass transportation, since there is no threat from the Song army, it is naturally as fast and close as possible.
Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand and clicked on Anqing Mansion: "I received the latest news that the Huai army is all going up the river by boat in Anqing Mansion, and there is no news after that, it is estimated that this is also this morning, if it is faster, I am afraid that their fleet will soon be found in Banbi Mountain." β
"Do you want to go to Ezhou?" Ye Yingwu frowned, "Could it be that Li Tingzhi still plans to go to Ezhou first, and he can't take office immediately." β
Because in history, when Li Tingzhi served as the envoy of the Yangtze River and the pacification envoy of Jinghu, he took the Huai army directly to Ezhou, and then never took a step forward in the six-year battle of Xiangyang. Originally, Ye Yingwu thought that Li Tingzhi wanted to go directly from Huainan to Huaixi, drive Gwangju directly along Qizhou and Huangzhou, and oppress the Mongolian flank and rear, but now Li Tingzhi is taking this route, but it is a bit repetitive.
"Send a letter to Wen Xianggong and Lu Xianggong and tell them to be careful." Ye Yingwu said softly, "We haven't dealt with Li Tingzhi and Li Anfu before, so it's better to be careful." β
In fact, Ye Yingwu has not said it yet, although the two sides have not dealt with each other, it does not mean that there is no grudge, after all, Lu Xiufu was directly dug by Ye Yingwu from Li Tingzhi, and Li Tingzhi is the closest among the generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, except for the Lu brothers and Jia Yidao. It's hard to know what happens.
"This makes Jun Da rest assured, after all, when Li Anfu left, he left Yangzhou City to the town navy, which is equivalent to pinching the back road in our hands." Zhang Cheng naturally saw Ye Yingwu's worries and said with a smile.
Ye Mengding, who had never spoken, said softly: "Li Xiangfu still knows that he is a certain person. It's not the kind of goods that stab you in the back at a critical moment. This Yuanlie can rest assured. β
Ye Yingwu nodded: "Well, I also believe that Li Anfu will not do anything to hurt the relatives and enemies, but everything needs to be prevented, which is not wrong after all." After all, what is the current situation of the Tianwu Army, a certain heart is also very clear. Wood shows in the forest. β
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! Ye Mengding's eyes bloomed with wisps of essence, and he looked at this little son who hadn't sat down for a long time and had a good conversation, as if he felt that he didn't understand what this child was thinking, and even didn't understand whether he was still walking on the same road as himself.
Do the Tianwu Army and Jiang Wanli's party still have the same demands? The officials and generals up and down the Tianwu Army seem to have a higher outlook. Including Zhang Cheng and others, who have always been rigorous, Ye Mengding not only saw the ambition that belonged to this age, but also saw the ambition that should not belong to these people.
Zhang Cheng and the others all subconsciously straightened their waists. Including Deng Guangjian and Wang Lixin, who stood behind Ye Yingwu without saying a word. Although it is a wood show in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, Ye Yingwu's words already carry a kind of high-spirited fighting spirit, or a kind of pride that belongs to the people in the system of the Tianwu Army.
In this battle of Xiangyang, without the Tianwu Army, you only have the possibility of defeat!
Ye Yingwu turned his eyes to look at Hutou Mountain: "No matter what Li Anfu wants to do, even if this Xiangyang is only a lone army of the Tianwu Army, it will be defeated." In this way, the rear of the Tianwu army is about to arrive, and after all, there are 15,000 people, and a certain person can go north with them. However, Ah Shu would definitely expect reinforcements from the direction of Yingzhou. Therefore, it is estimated that from the south of Xiangyang to the north of Yingzhou, I am afraid that there are already dense Mongolian sentinels, and any movement of the armies in the two cities will be detected by the sentinels. So once the rear compartment goes north, it is no different from sending it to death. β
The Tianwu Army has its pride, but it does not mean that the people of the Tianwu Army are blindly arrogant, in the face of the Mongolian army gathered with 100,000 cavalry, even Ye Yingwu, who has defeated the strong several times, must carefully weigh the strength that can be used in his hands.
"Does the envoy want to go out of the front compartment?" Deng Guangjian suddenly said a sentence.
Ye Yingwu glanced at him, took a deep breath and said, "The front compartment of the Tianwu Army is also a soldier of the Tianwu Army. Naturally, it was their turn. Someone came, immediately sent an order to Tianjia Town, in addition to leaving enough soldiers in the front compartment of the Tianwu Army to guard the passes of Tianjia Town, and the other army immediately went north, directly into the Xinyang Army, ready to attack Lumen Mountain at any time, cut off the Mongolian grain route. β
Zhang Cheng answered and went out to order. And Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the map: "Give a certain order to the navy of the two Huai towns as quickly as possible, give the majesty to a certain one, and beat the Mongolian Tartars in Huaibei!" In addition, the water master of Zhenjiang Mansion does not have to be idle, he can be pulled to the sea to experience it. β
"What about the Xingzhou Marine?" Deng Guangjian reacted quickly, the Tianwu Army had even dispatched the farthest Zhenjiang Mansion Water Division, so it was naturally impossible for the Xingzhou Water Division who stayed in Xingzhou to still stay at home, even if Ye Yingwu wanted to do this, Liu Shiyong and Sun Huchen had to have one of the two embryos.
Ye Yingwu sneered: "On the contrary, Xingzhou Sailor really has no intention of using it." Maybe Ah Shu will also be curious whether a certain will send the Xingzhou Sailor to Xiangyang, after all, with the power of thistle, it is still very easy to blow up the ice on the Han River, but it is better to do the opposite, the Xingzhou Sailor, as the last force of the Tianwu Army, must guard Xingzhou, and the transportation of arrows and firearms to and from is not at ease to others. β
After thinking about it, Ye Yingwu added lightly: "Relying on new firearms, I am not so afraid of Mongolian Tatars." What's more, from the moment the Tianwu Army was born, it had not been afraid of anyone. Since Ah Shu wants to see a certain person, then he will be shown to him openly, and the back of the Tianwu Army will go straight to Hutou Mountain along the official road. β
Although Ye Yingwu said a little arrogant, Zhang Cheng and the others knew very well that their own envoy was definitely not such a arrogant person, not to mention that the firearms newly developed by the Tianwu Army in Tongshan County were said to be very powerful, and everyone knew this faintly, and now it seems that this should be a fact. Now that Ye Yingwu has been recognized in disguise, it also makes everyone who has been under the heavy pressure of the Mongolian cavalry can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Ye Yingwu looked at Deng Guangjian and Wang Lixin: "Senior Brother Deng, Wang Xianggong, the aftermath of Yingzhou needs to be handed over to you, and it is difficult to leave enough manpower for you." However, I also believe that you should be able to rise to the occasion. I hope that on the day of the triumph of the Tianwu Army, the two of them will be able to return a bright and prosperous Yingzhou to the world. In addition, all the soldiers stationed in Ezhou who committed crimes will be severely punished, and the two of them should remember clearly. β
Deng Guangjian said yes without hesitation, while Wang Lixin hesitated. Obviously, he also wants to excuse the soldiers stationed in Ezhou. Ye Yingwu glanced at him deeply, and then spoke mercilessly: "In troubled times, you should use heavy codes, not to mention that many people are already not sorry to die, please don't live up to someone's expectations of you." β
Wang Lixin finally made up his mind to give up his hand at Ye Yingwu, although Ye Yingwu's tone was very similar to his boss ordering his subordinates, but Wang Lixin also knew very well that there seemed to be no big difference between himself and Ye Yingwu's subordinates now.
"Jiang Tie, Wu Chucai." Ye Yingwu then shouted.
The two generals stood up at the same time and separated the left and right. Ye Yingwu nodded: "If you encounter Mongolian scouts along the way, you will be killed when you kill them, but you can't fall in love with war." A certain will lead the rear of the Tianwu army to go around the south of Hutou Mountain, so you should try to draw the attention of the Mongolian Tartars to the south, and you will let them see how we go north. β
Jiang Tie was suddenly a little puzzled, but Wu Chucai understood, and hurriedly gently pulled him, and both of them gave their hands in unison. And after walking quickly down the lobby, facing Jiang Tie's somewhat suspicious gaze, Wu Chucai explained with a wry smile:
"The king is the sound of the east and the east, the number of Mongolian Tatars in the south of Hutou Mountain is the smallest, if you can go up the mountain from the southeast. First, there were relatively few obstacles, and second, it was easy to set aside the siege of the Mongol cavalry. However, with Ah Shu's cautious nature, if our scouts contain them to the west, I am afraid they will not be so easily deceived. Therefore, the envoy could only drag their scouts to the east as well, but he could not let them discover the back compartment, so as to give Ah Shu the illusion that the Tianwu army actually wanted to advance quickly along the avenue. β
Jiang Tie took a breath of cool air lightly, and suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. Although Ye Yingwu said that he would try his best to intercept the Mongolian sentinels in a hundred battles, if he really wanted to fight like this, it was clear that all the Mongolian sentinels should be isolated at a distance from the back compartment. And they can't let these equally shrewd sentinels find out.
Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai whispered in the hall, while Ye Yingwu looked at Zhang Cheng: "Chengzi, the six doors and the Jinyi Guard are still handed over to you, first of all, the Suizhou and Xinyang armies, no matter what, we must provide enough accurate information to the front compartment, and we must completely cut off the grain route of the Tartars." In addition, Mou also knows that among the 150,000 Ashu army, there must be no less nails buried by you, and Mou's requirements are not high, once the Ashu army shows signs of defeat, they must play a role quickly! β
"The last will obey." Zhang Cheng replied.
Ye Yingwu nodded, in the end, only Ye Mengding was left, for his cheap father, Ye Yingwu's feelings are still very complicated, and it can even be said that for Ye Mengding, Ye Yingwu's admiration is even more than family affection, after all, it is difficult to make a person whose soul has not been in contact with him before instantly become his most important relative.
And Ye Mengding also seemed to be aware of this, and looked at Ye Yingwu: "The old man is coming to the town to go north this time, Yuanlie, if you don't have anything else, the old man will be happy." Of course, if you can do a little bit for this Xiangyang, it is also incumbent. β
Ye Yingwu shook his head lightly: "Daddy, you can stay in this Yingzhou town, after all, there are still not many people and horses that the child can leave to Yingzhou, so if there is any turmoil, please ask Daddy to help deal with it." β
Ye Mengding glanced at him quietly, and after a while, he finally sighed softly, nodded and said: "It's okay, the old man's old arms and legs are not suitable for running around, just in this Yingzhou, it's good to be in town." I really didn't expect that Ye Zhenzhi, Ye Zhenzhi, this word really corresponds to today's scene. β
Looking at the dying father in front of him, Ye Yingwu could feel his fiery heart that was still beating, but after all, he still couldn't let an old man in his last years rush to the front line, so Ye Yingwu forcibly held back the shame in his heart and didn't let himself see Ye Mengding's somewhat lonely figure.
Sometimes the years are so cruel, although they don't kill the fighting spirit. But it has consumed a person's ability to dominate the world.
ββββββββββββ-
The charcoal group fell from the sky, and the bombardment of the head and face was on the wall. But fortunately, after all, it is winter after snow, and it is south, and the walls are quite wet. That's why it didn't lead to a raging fire. However, Rao was like this, and the wall, which was not very thick, also shook a few times, and more stones followed the charcoal group and smashed it together.
"Hold on." Looking at the walled wall, which was about to collapse, several ten generals of the Tianwu Army also realized that something was wrong, and they didn't have time to think about it at the moment. Quickly stepped forward to resist the thick logs that built the wall, but after all, the strength of a few people was too small, and the Song soldiers behind were busy transporting arrows, and they didn't react for a while.
With a piercing sound, the big rope that bound the logs in several places finally couldn't withstand this force, and collapsed in the exclamation of the soldiers of the Tianwu Army, and a very obvious gap appeared in front of the Mongolian infantry horse.
Most of the Mongolian infantry knights broke out into earth-shattering cheers after a brief difference, and the Song army's biggest reliance had been broken, so what could stop them?! Black flags fluttered in the wind. The brigade and the horses of the brigade fought desperately up along the not wide mountain road.
Yang Bao secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but the Mongolian Tartar's trebuchet was very fierce, and the collapse of the wall was also predictable, without further ado, Yang Bao raised his saber and shouted angrily: "Brothers, follow a certain rush, block the Tartar!" β
Countless soldiers of the Heavenly Martial Army roared out from his side, rows of spears closely following the shields advancing in front.
"Kill!" Outside the wall, which had been smashed by trebuchet stones, the Mongol cavalry rushed like a tidal wave into the small gap. Because thanks to the two camps on the mountainside to the north, they are still in their own hands. Therefore, the Mongolian infantry cavalry attacking the mountain top Dazhai had a large number of trebuchets, and it was precisely because of the continuous bombardment of these trebuchets that "the hard work paid off", so that the already anxious Mongolian soldiers saw hope.
And the Mongolian foot rider who has been waiting for a long time is like a shark that smells blood. Following this omission, the intention is to directly enter the camp and shatter the corpses of these bold Southern Barbarians.
"Big shield, big shield on top, back behind the horse gun, assault gun cover!" Yang Bao slashed over a Mongolian soldier who rushed up with a shout, and turned around to greet him loudly.
Shields quickly approached. And the crossbowmen of the Song army on both sides of the walled walls and behind them also tried their best to pull the trigger. Unlike the gap in the small village in the south guarded by Wang Jin, it was difficult for the Song army in the main village to judge where the wall would collapse, so it was naturally difficult to send the carts blocking the Mongolian cavalry in time when it collapsed, so that at the beginning, they could only rely on their flesh and blood to block those snowy sabers.
If this layer of defense is torn apart and the Mongol infantry cavalry is allowed to rush into the camp, then there is no need to continue fighting, and the soldiers of the 20,000-day martial army will only die.
Moreover, unlike the small village in the south, the main direction of attack of the Mongolian army is still this hilltop village, and the Mongolian cavalry who served as crossbowmen in the south did not hesitate to charge here. With the speed of their horses, they were able to tear holes in the Song army's defense line faster. At the same time, the backward cavalry was also able to suppress the Song army crossbowmen on the walled wall with cavalry shooting.
It can be said that in order to recapture the Hutou Mountain camp, the Mongolian side is also doing its best.
"You can't take a step back!" All the Tianwu troops were desperately urging their subordinates, and the red flags followed Yang Bao's general flag flying in front of them, as if they were going to go toe-to-toe with the black flags surging outside the camp.
The sound of slaughter was mixed with the dull roar of the assault rifle, and the sounds of the crossbow and trebuchet were already in the background. Along the north side of Hutou Mountain, there are continuous sounds of killing, and billowing smoke and dust are accompanied by snow powder.
Hutou Mountain must be guarded! Yang Bao wiped a handful of blood from his face, it was still hot. On the other side, several Mongolian foot soldiers rushed forward with spears and shouting.
"Dog Tartar, let the horse come, grandpa is here!" Yang Bao laughed and jumped up. (To be continued.) )
