Chapter 185: A Few Places of Smoke in Qi Huang (Part II)
PS: Looking at the number of subscriptions that are almost naked, it hurts
A cold wind blew in the city.
Yang Bao and Zhang Cheng walked side by side, and there was no one else within dozens of zhang in the city. Conquering Qizhou can be regarded as a toss for the night, but now the night has not completely faded. Standing on the city tower, the morning light behind him was faint, and the soldiers in front of him were tiredly leaning on the side of the street in the corner, Liu Shiyong was nervously and busily directing the sailors' ships to transport food and even firewood for fire.
Zhang Cheng said softly: "There were many offenses just now, and I also asked General Yang to forgive my sins, and after returning to Xingzhou, the younger brother will hold a banquet to ask General Yang for his guilt." ”
Yang Bao was stunned, looked at Zhang Cheng in surprise, and said with some self-deprecation: "What does this matter have to do with General Zhang, it should have been regarded as a disobedience to the order of the envoy, if it wasn't for General Zhang's redemption just now, I'm afraid there would be no way to explain to the envoy." ”
Zhang Cheng frowned: "This matter actually has little to do with the envoy. You have also read the battle report during the day in Tianjiazhen, but that one is rougher, roughly explaining the situation, in fact, what General Yang doesn't know is that a large number of Mongolian Han infantry soldiers surrendered in the first battle of Tianjiazhen, and the envoy only took them as prisoners and pulled them back to Xingzhou as strong men, and did not ??????"
The figure slammed suddenly, Yang Bao suddenly looked back at Zhang Cheng, and seemed to have understood in his heart, Zhang Cheng did not continue, but looked at Yang Bao quietly, and only after a long time did he say softly:
"General Yang wore gold armor in a hundred battles on the battlefield at the beginning, what does it mean here, and what is it for, I don't think there is a need to explain it again."
Yang Bao slowly clenched his fists, but finally let go helplessly, and smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to hold the battlements, the endless wilderness stretched in front of him, as if it was a joke, Yang Bao didn't look at Zhang Cheng: "You said that a certain was a deserter who fled back from the battlefield, but now he is trying to make these good men unable to be deserters and not surrender." Is it a sin? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! ”
What Zhang Cheng meant, Yang Bao already knew very well. Killing those surrendered soldiers who suddenly defected was not just to "implement" Ye Yuanjun's order not to stay. It's to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, it's for those soldiers of the Tianwu Army to see, and it's to tell them that these killed soldiers are the only end of betrayal!
Surrender and flight. In exchange, only the swords of his own family are added.
Stretched out his hand and patted Yang Bao's shoulder, Zhang Cheng also leaned on the battlements, and said with a slight smile: "In the entire Tianwu Army, there is only General Yang who is qualified to do this, and even if General Yang refuses, it is useless." ”
Yang Bao didn't smile, just shook his head slightly: "Actually, if you really want to have a choice, there are three acres of thin fields, a pragmatic lady and a big fat boy, and life will be satisfied." Fuck the Mongolian Tartars! ”
As if he had expected Yang Bao to react like this, Zhang Cheng turned around and said lightly in a voice that only two people could hear: "However, General Yang, you must know that not only you and me, but also the envoys, the Tianwu Army, and the entire Great Song Dynasty and the mountains and rivers of Huaxia. ”
"How?" Yang Bao asked almost subconsciously.
Zhang Cheng looked at the stars and moon in the sky with great interest, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "We have no way back!" ”
Loud and sound. Yang Bao couldn't help but be shocked.
There is no way back!
Now that Dali in the south has been occupied, is it possible to continue to retreat to the south and lose this great Jiangnan and half of the mountains and rivers? When the time comes, retreat into such wild places as Cochin and Champong. But he really became a "southern barbarian".
As Zhang Cheng said, there is really no way back now. Sichuan, Shu, Xiangyang, and Lianghuai, the three rings are interlocking, and if one link is lost, the entire Great Song Dynasty will be in danger.
"Do your best." Zhang Cheng said softly, "General Yang." Let these brothers not be afraid, will not retreat, as long as the red flag is where the king goes, it is the direction for which they should fight until the last moment of their lives. ”
Yang Bao looked back at Zhang Cheng: "Is it for the king?" ”
With an undeniable smile, Zhang Cheng didn't answer, just glanced at him solemnly and walked straight to the city.
But Yang Bao firmly believed in his heart that the answer he saw at that moment was clearly "It's for the sake of the king!" ”。
――――――――――――――――――
Tianjiazhen and Qizhou have almost completely wiped out the Mongolian southbound cavalry, but these are unknown to Jiang Hao and Wu Chucai, who are robbers and bandits. Now these two guys are standing on the road gracefully.
In front of the wide official road, a group of less than 400 Mongolian foot soldiers fled in disarray. It's just that their calculation was wrong, the cavalry of a hundred battles is not a dry meal, and two hundred cavalry surround them, and no matter how fast they run, it is useless.
It's not so much a siege as a hunt. It's just strange that contrary to the Mongolian cavalry encircling and suppressing the Song infantry in other border states of Mongolia and Song, here the Song cavalry is going around in circles and teasing the Mongolian foot soldiers.
As long as you dare to run into the distance, you can shoot an arrow directly, and as long as you run to the middle, you can escape for a while. After fleeing for a long time, the Mongol foot soldiers, who were already a little dizzy, found themselves still standing in the place where they encountered this Song army.
And on all sides were the fierce and vicious cavalry of the Song army.
The hunting game was over, and Song Junbu had no interest in playing with them. Jiang Hao, who had been standing silently in the middle of the official road, drew his saber and pointed at it, and hundreds of foot soldiers behind him roared and rushed forward, while the cavalry of the hundred battles increased their speed.
Although there were more than 300 Mongol infantry left, they were all tired soldiers from a long battle, and they had almost no ability to resist in front of the roaring cavalry. It's just that these people were able to break out of the encirclement, and they were all diehards loyal to Mongolia, and at this time, Jiang Hao and Wu Chucai didn't think that they would surrender.
"This is a retreat from the south." Jiang Hao frowned and looked at Wu Chucai beside him, even if he didn't catch a single person alive, what would be the way for these sudden Mongolian remnants to be defeated, needless to say, everyone knew it.
Now there are only Mongolian infantry cavalry in the south of Tianjia Town and Qizhou, and these people are retreating from the road to Tianjia Town, if Qizhou is defeated, it is impossible to turn to the west official road to Huangzhou.
"It seems that Tianjiazhen has won." Wu Chucai said softly, "Then what should we do next, go back to Tianjia Town directly south?" ”
Jiang Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If you return in vain now, how can you let you and me go so easily, after all, you have lost the lives of so many good sons and daughters, and put Tianjiazhen in danger." So we're going to have to do another big one. ”
He looked at Jiang Ho in surprise. Wu Chucai turned his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Do you have a big vote, you mean ???????"
"Gwangju." Jiang Hao gently spit out two words, "And these guys in front of us have sent us all the Mongolian Tartar clothes, so naturally we can't be polite." Gwangju is an important town for Ashu to dispatch grain and grass to the south. Basically, there have been several confrontations in Huangzhou, and the grain and grass are all from Gwangju, so if we can burn the grain and grass stored in Gwangju, we will really be a great achievement. ”
Although he knew very well in his heart, what Jiang Ho said was "how can you and me be easily let go". But Wu Chucai knew that in fact, Jiang Hao was trapped in the north of Huangzhou, which had little to do with him, and if he hadn't resolutely led a hundred battles to the north to support, I am afraid that Jiang Hao would have died and had no place to be buried. However, Jiang Hao is his old boss, and he can be regarded as the person who appreciates him the most besides Ye Yingwu, if he can help him atone for his crimes, then he can also feel at ease.
What's more, if he can conquer Gwangju and burn grain and grass, it will indeed be a heavy blow to Ashu's strategy of attacking Qizhou and Huangzhou, even if it cannot support Xiangyang head-on. also made Ah Shu have a headache for the Tianwu army on the flank.
The most important thing is that the grain and grass in Gwangju are gone, and the Tianmu army will be able to win a short and valuable opportunity to repair, after all, in fact, the training of the Tianwu army has not been completed, which can be seen in the heavy losses in the scout war.
Gwangju's move is crucial!
Turning his head to look at Jiang Hao, Wu Chucai nodded solemnly. And the killing in front of him gradually subsided, and after the Song army's foot cavalry, which had lost interest in hunting, got the commander's hint, they had already slaughtered all the defeated Mongol soldiers, and not a single prisoner was needed.
"Someone. Let the brethren rest for a moment, catch their breath, and then change into the clothes of the Mongolian Tatars, and let us continue north. Jiang Ho immediately stepped forward and said loudly.
The Song army's foot riders, who were gradually retracting, looked at Jiang Hao in some surprise. A man who was neither humble nor arrogant threw his hand at Jiang Hao: "Commander, since the defeated Mongolian army is from Tianjia Town, it means that we have won the battle in Tianjia Town, why not go south, but go north?" The subordinates didn't understand very well, so they asked the commander to give instructions. ”
Song Junbu has been struggling almost on the brink of death for the past few days. Now he suddenly learned that the Mongol cavalry blocking the south was gone, so he naturally returned to his heart. It is naturally better for the ghost days to end as soon as possible, so it is understandable that everyone looked at Jiang Ho in surprise and asked questions.
Jiang Hao looked at these Song Jun foot riders with a tired look on their faces, and suddenly couldn't bear it, and after hesitating for a moment, he said slowly: "Okay, the brothers have been fighting bloodily for a few days, and there is no need to deceive you. Now at least the Mongol infantry along the road to Tianjiazhen has been wiped out, which means that Gwangju in the north is empty, and Gwangju is the place where Mongolian grain and grass are hoarded. ”
The head of the capital who asked the question just now took a light breath, and his eyes, which had been dimmed, once again glowed crimson. It's like a pack of wolves on the prairie that smell blood, salivating over new prey.
Not only him, but most of the Song soldiers were like this.
Jiang Hao then looked at Wu Chucai, Wu Chucai nodded at him, signaling that the cavalry of the Hundred Battles is also under his jurisdiction, so Jiang Hao continued: "General Wu and X do not force you, if you want to go back, you can go back by yourself, and you want to go north with General Wu to welcome." If no one dares to go north, a certain and General Wu can still turn that bullshit Gwangju upside down! ”
Before the words fell, Jiang Hao Huo Ran raised the red flag beside him, although the flag was already too damaged, and he couldn't even see the original "Song" character, but it still didn't prevent him from hunting and dancing in the cold wind.
"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls up the horse and the sword breath is like frost-" I don't know who hummed in a low voice first, and then hundreds of people sang the military song of the Tianwu Army at the same time.
In the midst of the song, the head of the question just now took a step forward without hesitation. In the next moment, all the Song army cavalry subconsciously took steps. Although reason told them that there was no difference between hundreds of people going to Gwangju and sending them to their deaths.
However, none of them flinched.
"They're all good men, follow so-and-so!" Jiang Hao laughed and waved the battle flag fiercely, "Tianwu Army, you will win!" ”
"Tianwu Army, we will win-" The shout shook the heavens and the earth, and it was hard to imagine that this was only the voice of more than 300 people.
Because they are the Tianwu Army, the Tianwu Army, and they have their own pride. From Macheng to Huangzhou to Tianjia Town, that time was not a sea of corpses and blood, especially Macheng and Huangzhou, which are typical of defeating the strong with the weak, which has become the tradition of the Tianwu Army, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Looking at these soldiers clutching their blades in front of him, Jiang Hao's heart was also shaken for no reason, and suddenly he seemed to vaguely understand what Ye Yingwu had been talking about to create the "Army Soul of the Tianwu Army".
Jiang Ho and Wu Chucai looked at each other solemnly, maybe they were looking for death when they went north at this time, or maybe Gwangju was a piece of fat meat at this time, these are not things that the two of them can judge and decide in this vast tide, but this does not prevent them from having the confidence to turn the entire Gwangju upside down.
Ye Yingwu often said that although the Southern Song Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of troops, it was always unable to defeat Mongolia with fewer troops than himself, and the reason for this was that no one in the Song army, from the generals to the soldiers, had such confidence in defeating the opponent. That is to say, in terms of momentum and victory over the other party, Mongolia has overwhelmed the Song army, and every time Mongolia wins, its confidence will increase, and the courage of the Song army and Mongolia to fight will also be weakened by one point.
Ten years of confrontation and six years of siege eventually created a terrible gap.
Therefore, what Ye Yingwu has been trying to do is to let the Tianwu Army have the determination and courage to defeat the opponent, and now, Jiang Hao and Wu Chucai really feel the confidence of "although tens of millions of people are going to me".
Just because, under the guidance of this red flag, we are invincible.
――――――――――――――――
Yingzhou Sailor Camp.
Fan Tianshun sat in front of the handsome case and didn't say a word. On the table in front of him, there was a letter spread out, which was a handwritten letter from Ye Yingwu that had just been delivered. It has been clearly mentioned above that the Tianwu army won two great victories in Tianjia Town and Qizhou, and at the same time, Ye Yingwu also expressed his appreciation and joy for Fan Tianshun's victory in the first battle of Hanshui.
It's just that these are not the main ones, the main ones are the next content.
Stretching out his hand and rubbing the corners of his forehead, Fan Tianshun couldn't help but smile bitterly, this deputy envoy of the Yangtze River System and the commander of the Tianwu Army, who he had never met, did not speak in the tone of his boss, but invited himself.
Du Yuhou of Yingzhou Sailor walked over and looked at Fan Tianshun: "But what's the matter?" ”
Fan Tianshun pondered for a moment and then pointed to the letter on the table: "Take a look for yourself." ”
"Who wrote it?" Du Yuhou subconsciously copied the letter, and soon saw the three words of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing at the check-in place, "Ye Yingwu?!" ”
"That's right." Fan Tianshun couldn't help but shake his head, "If someone else wrote it, I'm afraid I don't have to worry so much, the battle on the Han River made Ye Zhizhou see the role of our Yingzhou Sailor, and this is not natural to come to the door." ”
"What do you think of him?" Du Yuhou looked at Fan Tianshun, "You don't want to be the kind of person who retreats cautiously, let alone ?????? This Ye Yingwu is also the deputy envoy of the system along the river, and in other words, he is also our top boss. ”
Fan Tianshun smiled bitterly and said, "So, we don't have a choice? ”
Du Yuhou smiled: "You, don't be hypocritical, if you want to do it, you can do it, and you have to pull someone here to walk around, wouldn't it be too much." ”
Shaking his head, Fan Tianshun stood up and looked at his partner: "I really can't see through this Ye Zhizhou and Ye Yuanjun, I don't know when I will be able to meet, I want to see what kind of hero he is." (To be continued.) )
