Chapter 251: Watching the Storm (Part II)

PS: For the questions raised by book friends, the author said that he is very sorry, the last week was really busy, so the whole line of thought is a little confused, resulting in some failures, please understand. Thank you for your criticism and corrections.

Huaidu!

A ray of light erupted in Wang Dayong's eyes, but Li Fu behind him was quick and grabbed Wang Dayong. Everyone can see that looking at the entire town navy, there is not a single one who can fight with this Huaidu!

"Shoot the arrows!" Yang Ting sneered and ordered, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he looked at Huaidu not far away. Everyone is not stupid, who will fight you alone at this time.

However, Huaidu seems to have realized that the southern barbarian will release arrows, so after the roar just now, seeing that the Song army did not dare to step forward for a while, he quickly chased after his own foot soldiers, where is the courage just now? However, Rao was like this, and the hundred guards behind him still fell off their horses among the arrows that followed.

No one expected that Huaidu would retreat in such a way.

"Huaidu, you coward, you have the ability to stay and fight with Lao Tzu for three hundred rounds!" Wang Dayong couldn't help but shout loudly at the back of Huaidu, but Huaidu didn't even mean to look back at him.

Li Fu, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but shook his head gently: "On the battlefield, you can lead light soldiers to suppress the enemy alone, and you will not be moved by provocations, and you will eventually succeed in the whole army." This Huaidu is really worthy of the title of 'general', and Ah Shu entrusted Huaibei to him as the right person. ”

"Lao Li, how can you grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige." Wang Dayong couldn't help but muttered softly. If it wasn't for Li Fu's quick hand to grab him just now, I'm afraid he would be fighting with Huaidu now. Although he knows that nine times out of ten he is not the opponent of this Huaidu. But Wang Dayong didn't want to watch Huaidu leave unscathed.

Li Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and Yang Ting, who was slowly riding his horse, couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "General Wang." You better take a good look around yourself, now the entire town navy can be said to be disabled, if Huai didn't retreat immediately, but led the Tartars to rush up desperately, I'm afraid we can't hold this camp, not to mention the unobstructed front compartment outside the camp, it is estimated that the front compartment will have to cry without tears after a while. ”

"Don't wait." A low voice came from behind him, but it was Wang Huchen who came slowly, holding a knife full of blood in his hand. The blood fell drop by drop along the blade, blending into the crimson mud under his feet, and his face was obviously a little gloomy, "In this battle in front of the town navy, only half of the brothers who went out of the city with a certain are now left. ”

Wang Dayong was silent, looked around, and the son in the left compartment was afraid that even half of it was gone.

This is the first time that the town navy has experienced such a large battle, and it is also the first time that there has been such a large loss. There was a constant muffled sound from the top of the city. The flying thunder cannon that had been holding back and had nowhere to release finally found a place to vent at this time, and the last retreating Mongolian foot soldiers barely survived to see the sun tomorrow, and the smoke and dust of explosions continued to rise from the wasteland in the distance.

But no matter how much they paid or how much they sacrificed, at least now they have repelled the Mongol army. It can even be said that the loss of the Mongolian infantry is not less than that of the town navy, and it can be regarded as a great loss of vitality, and it is estimated that it is difficult to make any big moves against the two Huai in a year and a half. After all, their main force has just been lost in Xiangyang, and there is no room for any loss in Lianghuai.

"Won?" There was silence for a long time. Li Fu muttered suddenly.

Wang Dayong and Wang Huchen subconsciously glanced at each other, and couldn't help but show a smile. It was a pyrrhic victory, but it was a real victory.

After the victory of the right wing of the Zhenhai Navy in the first battle at Wuhekou, the main force finally achieved the long-awaited victory in Lianzhou.

The next moment, the cheers in the camp diluted the haze of death and the burning anger, but the red flags were still dancing proudly on the walls as before.

Stretching out his hand and patting the head of Lianzhou City, Zhang Shijie said lightly: "Stop shooting." ”

The figure of the Mongolian infantry has disappeared into the distance, but they still left hundreds of corpses in the shelling of the flying thunder cannon, because of the previous order of Huaidu, all the soldiers retreated in a scattered formation, although it was easy to make the team lose control, but in the end they still did their best to reduce the losses caused by the flying thunder cannon.

The dull sound dissipated with the wind, with a strong smell of gunpowder. Zhang Shijie looked at the soldiers of the Zhenhai Navy who hugged each other in the city to celebrate the rest of their lives after the disaster, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, although this battle was not as brilliant as the Tianwu Army, but it was a real bloody battle, a real victory.

"Let the brethren rejoice!" Zhang Shijie smiled and ordered several heads behind him, the blazing light in their eyes was difficult to hide.

"Isn't Marquis Yu with the brothers?" The Commander of the Guards asked subconsciously.

Zhang Shijie waved his hand: "I'm tired, go back and rest first." ”

This big battle is really tiring.

――――――――――-

A fast horse rushed into Fancheng almost without pause, and the two Tianwu soldiers standing at the gate of the city only had time to glance at it, and they only felt a strong wind blowing in their faces. However, they still saw clearly the dress of the person who came, it was the sentry of the six gates, whether it was true or not, this was not something they had the courage to stop.

What's more, the sentry riders of the six gates don't often visit Fancheng, and even if they come, they are obediently waiting outside the city gate to enter the city. Now it is rushing in at such a gallop, which can only say one thing.

Something happened!

The two Tianwu soldiers standing at the gate of the city subconsciously glanced at each other and saw the other party's throat beating involuntarily. At this time, something happened, and it was still a person from the six doors, so it means that it is not the Mongolian Tatar who has healed the scar and forgotten the pain, but that there is something in the south.

Before the two of them could get together and whisper, the bell on the tower rang suddenly, and then the big drum on the other side was slammed at the same time, and the two soldiers had little room to react, but subconsciously ran towards the outside of the city in the roar of their heads.

A few fast horses immediately rolled out of the city gate, and the two Tianwu Army hundred people on the city wall rushed down the city wall quickly. Assemble along both sides of the gate, which is also slowly halfway closed. All those who want to enter the city will need to wait for the time being, but Fancheng has just calmed down from the war. At this time, there was actually no one outside the city.

Along the city wall, the defenders of Fancheng and the soldiers of Tianwu who were guarding the city were rapidly assembling, while the cavalry with a small number of people had gathered in the open space in the west of the city at the fastest speed, and the Tianwu military camps in Anyang Beach and other places also echoed the sound of drums.

"It's too late to wait for the foot soldiers, the cavalry on the left side will go one step ahead with so." Wang Jin held the saber in his hand, "The cavalry in the front compartment will keep up!" ”

The two teams of cavalry responded at the same time, because Jiang Hao was seriously injured in the battle of Lumen Mountain and was still humming and chirping on the bed, so the front compartment could only be handed over to Wang Jin to take care of, after all, the front compartment was waiting for Yin Yu to sit in Tianjia Town and couldn't catch up for a while.

For Wang Jin, the temporary top boss. The soldiers in the front compartment are not excluded, after all, everyone has fought side by side together, and in the face of a big enemy like the Mongolian Tartars, the previous small internal frictions and small contradictions can all be wiped out.

Wang Jin took the cavalry first, and Wen Tianxiang also hurried out of the city, and Bian Juyi and the cavalry in the back compartment hugged him tightly. The news just now, which was like a thunderbolt from the sky, really surprised Wen Tianxiang, after all, he still didn't expect Lu Wenhuan to take a risk and defect with the whole family.

Moreover, the sentinels in front also received news that the Mongol defenders in Jinzhou had heard the wind and had dispatched two cavalry teams of 1,000 people.

If you let Lu Wenhuan go. Wen Tianxiang naturally knew that he had no way to explain to Ye Yingwu, but the only benefit of Lu Wenhuan's escape to the Tianwu Army was that it was equivalent to Lu Wenhuan himself admitting his crime and absconding in fear of the crime.

"It was already two hours ago, why did you only notice it now!" Wen Tianxiang's face was gloomy. couldn't help but look at Ma Tingyou, who was quite embarrassed beside him.

Ma Tingyou was also very uncomfortable in his heart, in the past few days, Fan Cheng assassinated and then Lu Wenhuan absconded, and there has never been such a big basket since the establishment of Six Doors and Jinyiwei. But now he is all alone, of course, this is also related to the mixed fish and dragons in the Xiangfan area. Reaching out and touching his nose helplessly. Looking at the senior brother whose gloomy face was about to touch the ground, Ma Tingyou could only say in a curtive voice:

"Lu Wenhuan's escape this time has obviously been planned for a long time. And the incident happened suddenly, the six gates and the Jinyi guard were not aware of it before, the city gate where Lu Wenhuan walked was guarded by his cronies and generals, the family was all dressed as merchants, all the baggage in the family was not carried, and the several carriages that seemed to be loaded with items in the team were all empty・・・・・・"

Wen Tianxiang sneered and didn't speak, and Ma Tingyou could only stubbornly continue: "So not long after the Lu family left the city, they abandoned all the carriages and went west lightly, they already had hundreds of horses hidden outside the city, even if it was inconvenient for the women and children in the family to ride horses, it is estimated that the westward journey will not be too slow." It wasn't until half an hour ago that our people realized that something was wrong, and they broke down the door, and there was no one in the courtyard. ”

Without saying anything more, Wen Tianxiang watched Bian Juyi mobilize all the compartments tightly, and Yang Bao behind him also hurriedly rode his horse: "Marquis Yu, I don't know if I need the help of the last general." ”

Wen Tianxiang glanced at Yang Bao, he also understood Yang Bao's temperament, if he let him lead people and enemies to fight wits and courage, but if he was allowed to pursue, it was estimated that he would not be able to catch up, but Yang Bao was a rare experienced person in the Tianwu Army after all, Wen Tianxiang said with a smile: "This Xiangyang City needs to be entrusted to General Yang and Niu to control." ”

Yang Bao was slightly stunned, and immediately understood Wen Tianxiang's considerations, and then nodded solemnly, and took his subordinate Erlang straight in the direction of Xiangyang.

"Let's catch up quickly, and we don't need to bring too many men and horses." Wen Tianxiang instructed Bian Juyi, "In addition, let Tang Zhen stay and guard Fancheng, no matter how important Lu Wenhuan is, Xiangfan still can't make any mistakes, and inform Ye Yuanjun quickly." ”

"Obey!" Things have come to this point, there is nothing to discuss, Bian Juyi and Ma Tingyou are not hesitating to accept the order.

As if remembering something, Ma Tingyou rode up to Wen Tianxiang's side again, and said softly: "The news just sent just now found Lu Wende's body in the Lu family's house, and he was pierced through the heart and lungs and died, and the bones were not cold. ”

Wen Tianxiang's pupils shrank suddenly. The bones are not cold, piercing the heart and lungs. Who did it, does this need to be explained? He subconsciously looked up in the direction of Xiangyang. What happened can be sketched out without guessing, Lu Wenhuan is really vicious, and he is so ruthless to pull his brother with one hand.

How can there be such a wolf-hearted person in the world!

Such a guy really has to be eliminated quickly, otherwise it will inevitably cause endless harm.

"Quick, keep up!" There were shouts from the side, and thousands of foot soldiers formed a long queue on the road. Bian Juyi looked back at Wen Tianxiang:

"Marquis Yu?"

Gritting his teeth, Wen Tianxiang nodded and stepped forward.

――――――――――――――――

Horses gallop. The horses' hooves whipped the mud and snow that had not yet melted, and the ice on the Han River reflected a blinding light.

"Commander, the front is narrow, let's cross the Han River?" A head of the horse caught up with Wang Jin, more than a hundred cavalry had been running in the cold wind for more than an hour, but there was not even a shadow of anyone along the way, no one knew where the Lu family was fleeing now, but it was certain that this place was not far from Jinzhou.

Wang Jin didn't want to take more than a hundred cavalry and two Mongolian cavalry thousand-man teams to fight hard, and the last battle of Lumen Mountain had already left a deep impression on him. Follow the direction of the capital's fingers. Wang Jin squinted and looked over, the river beach in front of him was indeed a rare narrow place, but if the hundred cavalry wanted to cross the river, they also needed to toss a stick of incense. Moreover, the weather has warmed up in the past few days, and no one dares to guarantee whether the ice on the Han River has melted.

If those guys from the Lu family ran to the north bank of the Han River by themselves, then thank God.

did not wait for Wang Jin to give an order. Suddenly, in the distance, there was a slight trembling of the ground. Several of the capitals and Yu Hou had shocked expressions on their faces, as they could already clearly feel that the voice was coming from the west.

Wang Jin took a light breath. Coming from the west, it naturally could not be the Tianwu Army. So nine times out of ten, it was the Jinzhou Mongolian cavalry that he didn't really want to run, but I have to say that these two thousand-man teams were really bold and dared to rush forward not far from Xiangyang when their own 100,000 troops had already disappeared.

Looking back at a hill not far away, Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "Hide behind the hill, I want to see what the Mongolian Tartars still want to toss out under our noses." ”

More than 100 cavalrymen quickly turned their horses' heads, and when their figures disappeared into the shadow of the hill, Wang Jin turned back sharply, but his eyes couldn't help but widen. On the south bank of the Han River, a small cavalry team that was moving forward was actually trying to cross the Han River.

couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, Wang Jin jumped off the horse, and walked quickly into the barren grass not far away, today is really alive and ghostly, just now I wanted to say why the Lu family didn't run to the north bank of the Han River by themselves, and they just sent it to the door.

It's just that the helpless thing is that the Mongolian cavalry is close at hand, pulling teeth from the mouths of two thousand cavalrymen, Wang Jin thinks that he has no such ability.

Not only Wang Jin, but also several heads and ten generals all showed shocked looks on their faces, but they all subconsciously clenched their blades and their eyes were blazing. If you rush out now, you may still have time to shoot the Lu family who are trying to cross the river on the Han River.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Wang Jin, and the hundred cavalry rushed out, either to complete the task and die honorably, or to be strangled by the Mongolian cavalry before they touched the river beach. In any case, as long as you rush out, there is only a dead end.

But if you don't rush out, you can't sit back and watch the Lu family swagger and run away under your nose.

"General, what should I do?" A ten-year general finally couldn't help but ask softly.

Wang Jin slammed the ground hard, his brows furrowed: "We can't go toe-to-toe with the Mongolian Tatars now, try to hold them back!" ”

Hold them back? Several generals looked at him in surprise, with a strange look on their faces, with more than 100 people dragging 2,000 people, it was really a bit wishful thinking, could it be that his own commander made him lose his mind at this time?

Wang Jin glanced at them coldly, and then said, "What, are you afraid?" Still not confident? Don't forget who you are. ”

Before the words fell, Wang Jin had already stood up and walked to his war horse. Several of the ten generals behind him looked at each other, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble, don't forget who they are. We are the Tianwu Army, and for the Tianwu Army, isn't the best thing to do is to create miracles?

No one spoke, and one figure after another stood up and followed Wang Jin. (To be continued.) )
