The place where Ye Yingwu pointed is not south of Gwangju, but west of Gwangju!

"Suizhou?" Yang Bao subconsciously shouted.

Ye Yingwu nodded solemnly: "That's right, Suizhou, since the Mongolian cavalry is going east, and judging from the posture that there is still no trace found, there is a good chance that ** will directly insert from Suizhou to the south of us and cut off the way back, so our only choice is to go straight to the west and go south along the water through Suizhou." ”

Yang Bao suddenly understood: "If the subordinates didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid that the Xingzhou Sailor has already gone to Lianshui, right?" As long as we see Zhuanshui and have the strong bows and heavy crossbows of the sailors along the way, even if the Mongolian cavalry comes in person, they can't do anything to us. ”

"That's the only way I can come up with it." Ye Yingwu said lightly, "But this is not without risk, first of all, the Mongolian cavalry may not be as smart as we imagined, and go straight to the south to intercept, that is to say, it is very likely to meet us halfway, and then more than 10,000 foot soldiers will be alone in Suizhou, which is equivalent to being in death." Secondly, there is no guarantee that Ah Shu will not mobilize elites to make up his mind to deal with the water master, but he may have discovered that the water master has entered the water and speculated that we will come west and mobilize troops to intercept it. ”

It's gambling, just to see if you have the guts! Ye Yingwu couldn't have said it more clearly. The faces of the generals below also became heavy. After all, it is 15,000 soldiers, which is almost equivalent to one-third of the Tianwu Army, and if all of them are buried here, there may be no way for the Tianwu Army to recover in a year and a half.

At that time, you can only sit back and watch the chaos in Xiangyang.

"What do you think?" Ye Yingwu turned to look at Jiang Hao and the others.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Jiang Hao said loudly: "Instead of waiting for death here, it's better to gamble, maybe you can take down Suizhou!" ”

Yang Bao then said: "The last general thinks that Commander Jiang is reasonable, the Tianwu Army has fought several bloody battles since Macheng, and no one has been afraid of anyone!" ”

Ye Yingwu nodded, it seems that his usual cultivation is not wrong, and at a critical time, Yang Bao and Jiang Hao, two henchmen, stood up faster than anyone else. And Ye Yingwu also vaguely figured out the thoughts of the two of them, Jiang Hao needless to say. If this guy doesn't fight, he can't talk about it, and Yang Bao, as a veteran of the battlefield, naturally knows that he is almost dead now. It's better to give it a go and seek a glimmer of life!

A veteran like Yang Bao sometimes looks calm and even greedy for life and afraid of death, but when it comes to the critical moment, he rushes faster than anyone else and fights harder than anyone else. Just because they are veterans, they want to defend their fame and glory.

Yin Yu and other generals also quickly stood up in agreement. This is Ye Yingwu's Tianwu Army. It's really impossible to hear opposition, especially now that no one can think of a better way. What's more, Ye Yingwu has even sent out a water master, which means that he has insisted on doing this in his heart, and naturally no one will jump out to sing the opposite.

Let's not talk about anything else, at least from the current point of view, Ye Yingwu has not missed the things he insisted on.

"But we don't want to go west just because we want to." Ye Yingwu continued, looking around at the generals, "Heading in the direction of the Mongolian army cantonment means that we may encounter Mongolian sentinels everywhere, and we will be exposed soon." It also means that the Mongolian cavalry may react and cut off the entire Tianwu army in the north. ”

It's like pouring a basin of cold water on your head. Jiang Hao and the others, who were still in high spirits just now, suddenly looked at each other, and immediately sighed secretly in their hearts. However, what Ye Yingwu said is very reasonable, now that he is taking a risk to gamble, he must think about the dangers he may encounter.

Ye Yingwu did not continue to speak, but looked at Yang Bao. Yang Bao was slightly stunned, and then stood up after thinking for a moment in his heart and said: "To make what you say reasonable, the last general thinks that this time to the west, whether it is the forward, the Chinese army or the rearguard, can not relax their vigilance, and the vanguard will strangle the Mongolian sentinels along the way." And at any time, beware of meeting with the Mongolian cavalry on a narrow road, while the Chinese army should be vigilant on both sides, and the rear guard is responsible for breaking the rear, and the responsibility is even greater. The end will not be talented. Since the Tianwu Army is the Chinese Army, it should assume the responsibility of the Chinese Army. ”

Jiang Hao naturally couldn't help it at this time, and jumped out under Yin Yu's wry gaze and said: "Envoy Qi, the responsibility of the Chinese army is not to rob General Yang, but the striker and guard will be handed over to the front of the Tianwu Army, and a certain and Yin Yuhou will definitely guard the front and rear of the army!" ”

Yang Bao was immediately unhappy. He snorted heavily: "Commander Jiang is too much to entrust, the front compartment has suffered a lot of losses this time, and it is not the whole army going north, is it not enough to serve as a forward and a guard at the same time?" Since the rear compartment is not there, the Chinese army has its own responsibility to protect the rear of the army, so Commander Jiang should serve as the vanguard in the front. ”

This is obviously a credit grab, Jiang Hao still wanted to have a seizure, Yin Yu quickly tugged at his sleeve and shook his head gently. Although he still wanted to fight, but seeing Yin Yu shaking his head, Jiang Hao could only sigh secretly in his heart, Yin Yu's partner he knew very well that if there was really something in it, he would not stop him, this time he stood up, indicating that the front compartment of the Tianwu Army at this time was really difficult to divide into two.

Jiang Hao just came back, and he didn't know much about the specific situation of the front compartment of the Tianwu Army, and when he saw Yin Yu shaking his head, he guessed that it was not optimistic, relying on the long-term tired division to serve as a forwarder and defender with great responsibilities at the same time, this kind of stupid thing Jiang Hao would not do even if he was reckless. Because this is very likely to lead to the fact that when there is really an emergency, the forward or rear guard of the army will be broken through, and the responsibility for the defeat of the army will not be borne by the army.

After all, this is the movement of tens of thousands of troops, not a scout battle of hundreds of people.

What's more, Ye Yingwu squinted slightly at this time and didn't say a word, obviously waiting for the people below to fight for a result.

Jiang Hao immediately bowed his hand to Yang Baoyi without hesitation: "Since General Yang is full of confidence, then let go of a step, and ask General Yang to protect the rear guard of the army. ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "Jiang Hao, Yin Yu listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Both of them stood up at the same time and replied aloud.

"The two of you lead the front compartment of the Tianwu Army to open the way in front," Ye Yingwu's voice turned cold, "God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!" But if the enemy army is numerous and invincible, either the front compartment of the Tianwu army is all heroic, or you two will come to see you! ”

Taking a breath of cool air gently, Jiang Hao and Yin Yu did not hesitate at all: "The last general obeys the order, but the enemy army is invincible, the front compartment of the Tianwu Army should move forward generously and never retreat!" ”

Ye Yingwu glanced at Yang Bao solemnly: "Yang Bao listens to orders!" ”

"The last general!" Yang Bao's voice was categorical. It's the opposite of the usual steady character.。

"Lead the Tianwu Army in the military palace, but there are chasing soldiers, not to fight. When the time comes, it's up to you to decide how many people will stay. Ye Yingwu continued. Although the Chinese army of the Tianwu Army is the queen of the palace, it should be followed by a certain personal guard. ”

"The last general obeys!" Yang Bao replied loudly.

Ye Yingwu nodded: "Zhang Cheng is not here, when the time comes, the Jinyi Guard will cooperate with the scouts of each army, and this battle will be desperate for survival." All or nothing, but please give it your all! ”

There was silence in the tent for a moment, and everyone felt the solemnity and determination in Ye Yingwu's tone. This time, the envoy really planned to make dangerous moves and return in a bloody battle.

"Dare not to die for the king!" All the generals knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

——————————————————

Tianjia Town, the front carriage camp of the Tianwu Army.

More than a dozen cavalrymen came from the docks.

The soldiers standing at the camp checkpoint were busy letting them go, and they were very surprised to see that among these soldiers who were obviously dressed as personal guards and cavalry, the guard was a civilian official. It's just that this young civil official is more skilled in riding horses than many guards.

In the entire Tianwu Army, the civil officials are three points better than the equestrian guards, and only Wen Tianxiang and Wen Song Rui are alone.

For the "forty miles of mountains and rivers" in Tianjia Town, in fact, Wen Tianxiang came for the first time. It's just that Wen Tianxiang was not in the mood to look at the scenery at all at this time, and his face was gloomy and dripping all the way up to the pass. And the younger figure stood in front, and when he saw Wen Tianxiang coming, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Senior brother, you have finally come over." ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded: "Is there any news from the north now?" ”

The young man is Ma Tingyou, one of the commanders of Jinyiwei, this time Ye Yingwu led the front compartment of the Tianwu Army, the Chinese Army and the Sailor Division to the north, which is related to the rise and fall of the Tianwu Army, so Ma Tingyou came here after Ye Yingwu left, and the six doors and Jinyiwei were also elite.

It can be said that the foundation accumulated for more than half a year was all invested in it without hesitation at this time, and even some Jinyi Guards and Six Doors elites were directly invested in the scout battle. But that's the case. There are still a large number of Mongol scouts throughout Huangzhou, and it is still difficult to contact Ye Yingwu in Gwangju.

Hearing Wen Tianxiang's somewhat anxious inquiry, Ma Tingyou could only smile bitterly and shake his head. It's really rare for his senior brother to have such an anxious expression, but he is not anxious in his heart. can squeeze out this trace of wry smile. It's already a lot of work.

Seeing that Wen Tianxiang was silent, Ma Tingyou said helplessly: "There is really no news at all now, the latest order is still when Gwangju has just been conquered, so that the defenders of Tianjia Town will not go north, just contain the Mongolian scouts." ”

"I know about this order, but I want to know what happened to Gwangju? If you make the king trapped in a lonely city, this Tianjia Town. What's the use of keeping it? Wen Tianxiang's voice became colder and colder, and his eyes looked at the surrounding mountain walls.

If there is no Ye Yingwu standing behind the Yangtze River moat, it is just a layer of white paper that may be pierced at any time. This Tianjia Town, Banbi Mountain, wasn't it also fought by Kublai Khan during the Battle of Ezhou? The reason why he can rely on the copper wall now is actually because Ye Yingwu's general flag is still flying in the north, and the red flag of the Tianwu Army is still pointing towards the sky.

Without the Tianwu Army, this heavenly moat is nothing!

Ma Tingyou said softly: "The envoy once said that until the last resort, the left and rear compartments of the Tianwu Army should not act rashly. Is it a last resort now? ”

Wen Tianxiang looked back at the mighty flowing river, and immediately said: "Wang Jin can't sit still anymore, he went to the government yesterday, if it weren't for a certain and Jun Shi to press hard, I'm afraid that the left wing would have gathered to cross the river and go north." Now that a certain person has come first, I am afraid that Junshi is even more difficult to behave. Now there is no news in the north at all, can it be regarded as a last resort, it is still another matter, the left and rear wings of the Tianwu Army to help the people open up wasteland and build houses have just begun, if it stops like this, there is inevitably a feeling of show. ”

"Can you still take care of this?!" Ma Tingyou clenched his fists and said coldly, but he didn't give Wen Tianxiang any face.

Liumen and Jinyiwei are organizations independent of the Tianwu Army and loyal to Ye Yingwu, even if Wen Tianxiang is the capital of the Tianwu Army, he can't actually control Ma Tingyou, at most because of the relationship between the two of them as brothers and sisters, Ma Tingyou obeys Wen Tianxiang's dispatch.

"Don't panic!" Wen Tianxiang scolded, "The chaos will only give people an opportunity." ”

Ma Tingyou was smart, but he still looked into the distance angrily. Wen Tianxiang shook his head helplessly, and then added: "The envoy is not without a follow-up move, at least the Xingzhou sailor went north to Hanshui and was close to the Lianshui, and he could already vaguely detect that the envoy wanted to retreat from Suizhou." ”

"Suizhou?" Ma Tingyou was stunned, although the map of the surrounding state capitals had long been familiar with him, he still subconsciously walked into the gatehouse quickly, looked at the map, stretched out his hand and tapped heavily on Gwangju and Suizhou, "This is to die and be born." ”

"Look at the world," Wen Tianxiang stretched out his hand and nodded in each of the two places in Macheng and Huangzhou, "The only one who can put it to death and live after life is Tianwu Army." So you have to believe that the envoy is a person who can save the sky, how could he miss so easily? According to the plan that the envoy had arranged before, he had already gone to Luzhou and Hezhou, and it was estimated that the two generals would raise troops in the near future. The town navy still did not move, but the envoy ordered ······"

Wen Tianxiang's voice was slightly low, and Ma Tingyou looked at him vigilantly, "The town navy can't move" was ordered by Ye Yingwu personally, he knew this very well, but he had never heard of any other orders for the town navy.

"In the event of an accident, General Zhang will take over the town navy on the spot, and the six gates will cooperate. The town navy can come to Xingzhou along the river, and cannot stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. Wen Tianxiang tilted his head slightly, and said softly, no one wants to see things come to this point, but Ye Yingwu still has to take precautions, in the final analysis, he still doesn't trust Su Liuyi, after all, Su Liuyi's character determines that he is more likely to be a person loyal to the Great Song Dynasty than to the Tianwu Army.

This is also why Ye Yingwu had to leave Zhang Shun, Zhang Shijie, Guo Chang's three capable subordinates, plus the right wing of the Tianwu Army, in Zhenjiang Mansion. If the right wing of the Tianwu Army was in Xingzhou at the moment, there was no need for Ye Yingwu to be so passive. But this is a choice without a choice, after all, for Su Liuyi, let alone Ye Yingwu, even Wen Tianxiang is not at ease.

"So what should I do now?" Ma Tingyou shook his head violently, letting all the things that he shouldn't think about out of his mind.

Wen Tianxiang gritted his teeth: "We tried our best to harass the Mongolian scouts, so that the Tartars thought that the envoys were going straight to the south to break through, so they used the soldiers of Tianjia Town to contain them, and the other six doors and Jinyi Wei secretly kept an eye on the Mongolian scouts in the west, and the direction of Qizhou was left alone for the time being, and there was no big problem over there for the time being." ”

Ma Tingyou solemnly agreed and left in a hurry.

Wen Tianxiang looked at the back of his junior brother leaving, and stood on the Guan Tower with his hands in his hands. The sunlight dragged a black shadow behind him, making the man, who was no more than thirty years old, look thin and unyielding. It's just that at this time, Wen Tianxiang was standing alone in the wind and muttering prayers.

Envoy, you have to come back safely, this heavenly army, this half of the country, can't do without you, and can't do without your banner. (To be continued.) )
