"Xianggong, Huainan envoy news!" Ma Tingyou walked over quickly.

Wen Tianxiang and Tang Zhenzheng watched the battle in front of them nervously, and they were stunned, and they were able to let Ma Tingyou personally send it over, indicating that something big must have happened in Huainan.

"After conquering Xuzhou, defend the place?" Wen Tianxiang turned off the fire paint, opened the envelope, and when he saw the first sentence, his heart trembled fiercely, and he couldn't care about what happened to Wang Jin in front of him, while Tang Zhen and Ma Tingyou were both shocked and hurriedly came over.

"Shieldman cover!" Wang Jin roared angrily, and more than a dozen guards were already desperately rushing in front of him, raising their shields one after another. And the Shen Ce sergeants who were impacting around saw that their own commander actually led the team to rush up, and their eyes were red all of a sudden.

Let the general charge in person, this is clearly a great shame, which shows that everyone is useless!

At the moment, the Shence army was already shouting, and the middle army in the front row, the left compartment, and the right compartment all followed the front compartment and rushed towards the city gate, and the red flags danced in the wind, and the flow of people was like a tide. No one cared about the stunned and shocked on Tang Zhen and Wen Tianxiang's faces.

Stumbling under his feet, Wang Jin was almost tripped by the corpse blades scattered in the muddy water, and when he saw the arrows that were whizzing and falling from the city, he simply gritted his teeth fiercely, wrapped the explosives in his arms, and then rolled directly in the muddy water, and a few arrows grazed Wang and disappeared into the mud.

This circle happened to roll onto the wooden plank that had just been laid, Wang Jin couldn't care about the mud, and when he saw that the explosive bag in his arms was only a wet corner, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up, and rushed towards the city gate that was close at hand. The rolling stone skulls smashed down in front of him and behind him, and the Song Army's flying thunder cannon also continued to bombard the city gate as if it was crazy, and for a while, the gravel flew and the fire was in the sky!

"Dang!" With a bang, Wang Jinzheng slammed into the city gate, although he was a little dizzy, but he still put down the explosive bag suddenly, and several guards came after him and handed him the fire fold.

"Run, run!" Wang Jin shouted almost hoarsely, and several people rushed out of the hole in the city gate in embarrassment and plunged into the mud. Because the flying thunder cannon just now just suppressed the Mongolian soldiers on the head of the city, no one shot arrows at Wang Jin for a while.

The earth shook violently, accompanied by the echoing sound of explosions. Wang Jin raised his head from the muddy water with difficulty, and several Song soldiers had already hurriedly stepped forward to help. And the head of the city who was caught off guard by Wang Jin and robbed of the explosives package just now was already roaring angrily with a spear in his hand, and commanded the soldiers to raise the bumper wood and slam into the city gate that had been blown off by the explosives bag.

The city gate opened in response, and the face of the head was full of hideous expressions, and the shouts and roars from the bottom of his heart had merged with the surrounding sounds of killing. The spear pierced straight into the chest of the Mongolian soldier behind the door, and several Saimen knife carts were also busy rushing up, and the head of the head couldn't dodge, so his footsteps remained the same, and the whole person pounced on the knife cart like this!

A path of flesh and blood.

"Kill!" All the Shence soldiers rushed into the city with red eyes and corpses in their robes, and one after another red flags marched forward in the wind, like a red wave that was constantly churning forward.

Wen Tianxiang silently looked at the scene in front of him, while Tang Zhen drew out his saber and rushed forward with his own guards. Ma Tingyou was shocked and hurriedly wanted to hold him, but Wen Tianxiang grabbed Ma Tingyou, shook his head slowly, and said softly: "Let him go, whether it stops in Xuzhou or not, it is inevitable to conquer Xuzhou, this is the battle of the Shence Army, let them go and fight." ”

"Shence Army, kill!" In the city of Xuzhou, the sound of killing shook the sky.

And a king's flag fluttered proudly at the head of the city, replacing the tattered Mongolian flag before.

"Why did you let us stop in Xuzhou?" Ma Tingyou and Wen Tianxiang walked towards the city together and asked suspiciously.

Wen Tianxiang calmly ordered the officials behind him to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded soldiers, while looking at Xuzhou City in front of him, and said softly: "The cowardly Xue army of the Mongolian Tartars has gone south to the two Huai, the Huai army has been defeated and retreated, and the Huaibei has fallen. ”

Ma Tingyou stomped his foot hatefully: "It's a pity! Hateful! ”

Not only Ma Tingyou, but others can also see it very clearly, if it weren't for Li Tingzhi's rash advance, which made Mongolia win the first battle, I'm afraid Ye Yingwu wouldn't have to worry about Wen Tianxiang and the possibility of them being copied back, and the cowardly Xue army would not have a way to free up his hands to contain the Zhen Navy at this time.

"That's fine," Wen Tianxiang was obviously relieved, "We went north this time, and there were a lot of gaps exposed, especially the officials we had begun to prepare were obviously insufficient, and in the end, we had to invite Jiang Xianggong and Ye Xianggong out, so that Tangzhou and Dengzhou could be settled down as soon as possible." In addition, now it is the spring rain, and the transfer of grain and grass on the road is a big problem. ”

Thinking of something, Wen Tianxiang continued: "Not to mention that although the cowardly Xue army of the Mongolian Tatars is small in number, and it was also ambushed by the Tianwu army in Gwangju and lost a battle, but after all, it is also the most elite cavalry of the Mongolian Tatars, you and I have not seen the ability of the Mongolian cavalry, this cowardly Xue army cannot be underestimated, it is good to be careful after all, we can already say that we have gained a lot this time." ”

Looking at the corpses and blood all over the ground, Ma Tingyou was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "It is not unreasonable for the envoy to let the Northern Expedition stop, the battle of Xuzhou, it is foreseeable that the resistance of the Mongolian Tartars will become more and more fierce after the battle, and the cities of Heluo have been operating for many years, and it is impossible to fight like Tangzhou and Dengzhou. ”

Wen Tianxiang squatted down and stretched out his hand to turn over the corpse of a Shence Army soldier who died in battle next to him with his personal guards, looking at the eyes that were full of mud and still staring at the sky, Wen Tianxiang sighed and gently closed his eyes, and then stood up, and there was no one around him who had died here, all of them were facing the city gate the same, and they were not spinning.

"They're all good men!" Wen Tianxiang said softly, standing outside the city gate, looking at the vast wilderness.

Bursts of spring thunder could be heard in the gloomy sky, as if to herald another rain that would fall on this hellish world.

At the end of February of the third year of Xianchun of the Great Song Dynasty, the Song Shence army recovered Xuzhou and restored the old name "Yingchang Mansion", and at the same time, the Song Shenwei army recovered Ruzhou, and the Song Tianwu army recovered Yuncheng, and the soldiers had crossed the line of control of the Southern Song Dynasty during the Song-Jin confrontation.

On the same day, Wen Tianxiang, the pacification envoy of the Song Jingnan Road, who presided over the Northern Expedition, and Lu Xiufu, the deputy envoy of the Yangtze River Formation, respectively announced that the Northern Expedition had come to an end.

In this Northern Expedition, the Song army attacked from Xiangyang and Xingzhou respectively, and recovered Junzhou, Xinghua Army, Tangzhou, Dengzhou, Guangzhou, Caizhou, Ruzhou, Yingchangfu and other Song homelands, and had advanced to the side of Heluo and Bianliang.

Under the heavy losses of Mongolia, its main forces were mostly concentrated in Lianghuai, so for the time being, they could only hold Bianliang and Heluo with all their strength, and were unable to counterattack.

The history is called the "Xianchun Northern Expedition", and it is also called the "Wen Tianxiang Northern Expedition" according to the customary name.

(Author's note, because the Yellow River of the Song Dynasty seized the Huai into the sea, so Shandong and other traditional Henan places, this fashion and in Hebei)

"Bed crossbow, put it!"

"God Arm Crossbow, let's go!"

"Flying Thunder Cannon, let's go!"

Zhang Shun stood on the ship's floor and gave the order loudly.

This is the first time that the Zhenjiang Prefecture Navy Division has participated in actual combat since its establishment, so not only Zhang Shun, but also the sailors on the ship are also very excited, and they are a little in a hurry. But fortunately, the usual diligent and diligent training undoubtedly played a role at this time, although it was hurried and chaotic, but the bow and crossbow and flying thunder cannon still meticulously began to roar at Huaibei.

The breakthrough point chosen by Zhang Shijie is still Wuhekou, after all, the Huai military camp north of Wuhekou has been almost ravaged, and the corresponding camp in Huainan is still intact and can be used as a concealed support.

It seems that the Mongolian Tartars also know that the camp cannot play a defensive role at all, so there are obviously only a few Mongolian foot soldiers in the camp, but the figure of the Mongolian cavalry has not appeared, and no one knows where the Mongolian cowardly Xue army cavalry who has only heard of its name and has not seen its shadow is.

"Meng Chong forward!" Zhang Shun drew his sword, "The boats will follow, and the warships behind will transport the brothers of the town navy to cross the Huai!" ”

As the flags on the flagships fluttered, the warships separated from the queue and headed for the opposite side. Because Zhenjiang Mansion is an important town along the Yangtze River defense line in the Southern Song Dynasty, and there are natural harbors such as Beigu Bay, not only the trade is developed, but also the shipbuilding industry is also very developed, especially when most of the warships of the two Huai Naval Divisions were built by these shipyards along the river, and entered the Huai River by canal or sea, so these warships are not only brand-new, but also the essence of the shipbuilding industry of the Great Song Dynasty.

The warships cleaved the waves on the Huai River, which was very majestic, and lived up to the name of the first in the world of the Song Army's sailors.

Zhang Shijie stood on the hillside next to the Huainan camp at the mouth of the five rivers, watching team after team of Zhenhai Navy sergeants get on the boat in an orderly manner, and in addition to the Zhenjiang Mansion Navy Division pressing on the front boat, Xia Song, who was covering the flank, was not to be outdone, and he didn't want to lose face in front of the old boss, and commanded the two Huai Navy Divisions to also approach, although their ships looked a little old, but for the Mongolian Tatars on the opposite side who did not have a water division, it was still a catastrophic existence.

Dense arrows and flying thunder cannon projectile explosives package like a plough, the small camp in Huaibei ploughed over and over again, originally the Song army Huaibei camp in the face of Huaishui side there is only a thin wall, after the Mongolian cavalry conquered the camp, turned to Lianhai, here only left a thousand people stationed, there is no time to repair the camp, Zhang Shijie commanded the town of the navy to press up.

"Let's go, let's get on board too." Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice.

As long as the Mongolian cavalry does not show up, the Wuhekou camp will be the Song army in half an hour, so there is no need for Zhang Shijie to stand here to command, there is a sailor in charge, and he does not have to worry about being driven down by the Mongolian cavalry.

"Come ashore, quick!" Wang Dayong jumped down from the warship first, holding a mace in his hand, majestic. The soldiers on the left side of the town navy scrambled to jump off the boat, and the Huaishui camp in front was already in chaos, and the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers fell in front of and behind the wall.

"Stop the southern barbarians, don't let them rush into the camp!" More than a dozen Mongolian crossbowmen got up from the ground in a panic, and they all opened their bows and arrows, and more than 100 soldiers rushed out of the camp behind, and rows of spears rose and fell in the morning light.

Wang Dayong waved his hand, the shield hand had already taken the first step, and there was no need to worry about the crossbowman in the left compartment, the Zhenjiang Prefecture sailor on the warship had been staring at the shore for a long time, and when he saw the Mongolian soldier rushing out, a bed crossbow took the lead in shooting.

The thick arrow not only pierced the chest of the Mongolian soldier, but also hit the wall that was about to fall apart, the arrow landed, Wang Dayong then took two steps forward with a mace, and smashed a mallet on the wall, the long wall collapsed, and the red flags rolled up, and the Song soldiers roared and rushed into the camp, and the few Mongolian soldiers collided together.

"Don't fall in love, solve it quickly!" Wang Dayong was surrounded by his own guards, and the Song soldiers and these Han sons and daughters who worked hard for the Mongol Tartars did not have many reasons to be soft-hearted, and often more than a dozen pikemen attacked a Mongol soldier.

"Retreat!" A Mongolian centurion shouted.

Originally, they were not in much mood to fight with these overwhelming Song troops, and the Mongolian soldiers fled one after another, but most of them couldn't escape at all, after all, it was not a good thing to be targeted by a group of energetic town navy officers.

Just as Wang Dayong was preparing to pursue, the earth suddenly began to tremble slightly, and the non-commissioned officers of the Zhenhai Navy, who had been striding forward, all subconsciously stopped, and looked at their own commanders in disbelief.

"Mongol Tatar cavalry!" Wang Da's face changed, and he immediately ordered in a deep voice, "It's the Mongolian Tatar cavalry, and nine times out of ten it's the cowardly Xue army, let the brothers retreat steadily, don't panic, the sailor will cover us!" ”

For the cowardly Xue army, in fact, the non-commissioned officers of the Zhenhai Navy were not panicked, but were more interested in fighting with this strong army, which is known as the first in Mongolia, to see if the sailor was really the strongest in the world.

Zhang Shijie walked off the warship quickly, the black tide could be faintly seen on the horizon, rolling towards this side, and in the woods in front of the camp, the Mongolian infantry of the brigade had already been revealed, and the stones were whistling and falling into the camp that had been ravaged several times.

There was an ambush, but fortunately it was expected. A sneer flashed at the corner of Zhang Shijie's mouth: "Pass on a certain order, the right wing should hurry up and cross the Huaishui, and the left wing will build a front along the camp, so that the Mongolian Tatars cannot break through one soldier at a time, and the Zhenjiang Prefecture Water Division and the two Huai Water Divisions will be divided into three teams to cover the shore in batches." ”

"No!" Several of the soldiers standing beside him said at the same time, and went to deliver the order.

"Marquis Yu, let's just watch here?" The Commander of the Guards stared ahead with fiery eyes.

Zhang Shijie frowned slightly: "A certain person is sitting here, there is no need for so many personal guards, half of them are left, and the other half is given to a certain person, and these two teams of people take turns to fight." The cowardly Xue army is famous, there can be no peeps in the first battle, and you can tell Wang Dayong by the way, it is okay to defeat, but it must not be defeated and embarrass Lao Tzu! ”

The commander of the guards was overjoyed and hurriedly responded.

The explosion had been heard again, and the thunderbolts began to bombard the Mongol soldiers, and the dense arrows seemed to be a response to the trebuchet, sweeping through the charging Mongol infantry like a storm. The foot soldiers in front fell, but the foot soldiers behind did not have the slightest fear, but just desperately shouted and rushed forward.

"Mongolian Tartars, this is crazy." A Song Junyu Marquis looked at his opponent in surprise.

Wang Dayong showed a solemn look on his face for the first time: "It's not that they're crazy, but they have confidence in their hearts, and they also know very well that they have no way out." ”

"Commander, what should we do?" Several heads and marquis Yu all looked at Wang Dayong.

"The madman is not mistaken, we are not afraid of the left wing, we are not afraid of the earth, we are afraid of a few Mongolian Tatars?!" Wang Danyang shouted coldly, "Crossbowman, try the fire first, and prepare the musket." In addition, the first row of pikemen was on top of Lao Tzu. ”

A Marquis Yu hurriedly grabbed his own commander: "Commander, let the sword and shield men go first, and the pikemen are still left to deal with the cowardly Xue army of the Mongolian Tartars behind." ”

"You can't fight like that," Wang Dayong waved his hand, "The Mongolian Tartar infantry are already crazy, if the sword and shield hands can't withstand it, we have to collapse without the Mongolian Tartar cavalry, tell the brothers, the first time we fight, we must give the majesty of these Mongolian Tartars to Lao Tzu, no beat!" ”

Several generals did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly shouted yes.

"Mongolian Tartars, although you can deal with the Huai army, you can't deal with the Zhen Navy, especially the left wing of a certain one!" Wang Da muttered in a low voice, clenching his mace.

The woods and camps where the Mongolian foot soldiers are hiding are not far away, the Mongolian trebuchet in the last battle of the two Huai is hidden in this wood, which gave Su Liu Yi a headache for a long time, and now this time it has played the role of laying an ambush and suddenly killing out, so although the arrows of the sailors and foot soldiers are roaring like rain, the Mongolian foot soldiers have only fallen a little half, and more people have already arrived in front of the camp.

"Assault rifle!" Wang Da shouted loudly.

Gunfire erupted. (To be continued.) )
