Chapter 270: Stop and look southeast

PS: Sometimes in a hurry, there may be typos, I will check it before each upload in the future, please forgive me.

The continuous spring rain for several days finally stopped, and Beigu Mountain was washed by this spring rain and bloomed into a piece of emerald green.

Ye Yingwu walked slowly along the somewhat muddy mountain road, the sound of killing could already be heard on the road, looking from the hillside on the east side of Beigu Mountain, the camp of the Zhenhai Navy stretched into the distance, and not far away on the big river white sails, the Zhenjiang Prefecture Navy warships were taking advantage of the good weather to start one after another.

For the new batch of flying thunder cannons that Guo Shoujing and they tried to improve, they had a great attraction to Zhang Shun, and as soon as the rain stopped, they directly pulled the sailor out to test the cannon.

As a qualified sailor general, Zhang Shun naturally saw the revolutionary impact of the birth of the flying thunder cannon on water warfare, which would mean that the water war in the near future would have a greater chance of victory in long-range artillery warfare rather than broadside warfare.

Arrows roared through the air from both sides of the road, although Jiang Tie and Yang Xu, who were standing behind Ye Yingwu, wanted to step forward to block it, but they were stopped by Ye Yingwu, wearing silver and bright armor, Ye Yingwu walked directly and calmly on the road between the two archers' shooting ranges. Although Zhang Shijie, who was accompanying behind, was a little helpless, he could only follow silently, and could only hope that his subordinates would not be so wasteful that they aimed their crossbows at Ye Zhijun.

"Stop!" A Yu Hou, who had already seen the comer, hurriedly gave an order, and then stood in line at the intersection with Dutou and Ten Generals. The only one who can let Zhang Shijie accompany Zhang Shijie in the four compartments of the town and navy is Ye Yingwu, not to mention that Yu Hou was originally a veteran of the right wing of the Tianwu Army, and he stepped forward quickly at the moment and said:

"The last general will see the envoy and the capital Yuhou."

"You practice yours, just take a spin here." Ye Yingwu squinted his eyes and said with a smile, he was holding the helmet in one hand and pressing the sword with the other, but he didn't look serious. That Marquis Yu obviously had never seen his own envoy so kind, and he secretly sighed in his heart that a person like Envoy Jun was not always straightforward, so he responded respectfully and went to greet his subordinates.

However, although the Marquis Yu greeted him like this, most of the town navy non-commissioned officers had only heard of Ye Yingwu and had never seen it, and the storytellers in the teahouse Vashe played Ye Yingwu vividly, after all, they were still excited to see the real person!

"I heard that Ye Yuanjun has three heads and six arms, and with a wave of his hand, he wiped out the 150,000 Mongolian Tartar army, how can he look so young?" A soldier looked at Ye Yingwu, who was walking not far away, and couldn't help but whisper, the crossbow in his hand was also loosened, and an arrow was almost deflected.

His companion glared at him fiercely, and muttered: "Put your arrows well, don't look around, behave well in front of the envoy, if something goes wrong, don't talk about you, even the ten generals and the heads of the capital will have to go around without eating!" ”

"That's you." Another soldier rolled his eyes, "Hurry up and take a sneak look, it is said that there is some kingly spirit on the envoy, I think this is a character who will ascend to the great treasure in the future, if you don't look at it twice, you won't have to see it in the future, and wherever you go, the Tartars are all good men who look at the wind and cloak・・・・・・ and what they do, and a glance may bring some blessings." ”

"Look at you big-headed ghost!" Suddenly, there was a low roar from the ten generals, "One by one, Lao Tzu looked ahead, if anyone can't shoot the straw man in the distance, don't think about eating at noon today!" Put your arrows, and hope that the wind is invincible, the wind is invincible, and the good idioms are incomplete, how can you listen to them in class, those old gentlemen are finally invited, and you can't learn it in vain, shame! ”

Several soldiers couldn't help but stick out their tongues, not daring to say more.

"・・・・・・ after all, Jiangnan is more affluent, so Governor Zhao also invited a lot of private school gentlemen to teach the soldiers to read and write." Zhang Shijie reported to Ye Yingwu in a low voice, "But because I went back and forth to Huaibei, it was only a few days." ”

"This is already very good, Xingzhou is just the beginning, Zhao Wenyi has done a good job in this matter." Ye Yingwu said with a smile, once this Zhao Wenyi let go of his hands and feet, he is not a simple character, it seems that his original decision was not wrong at all, not only with the help of Zhao Wenyi to catch such a big fish as Wang Anhe, but also let the town navy start to recognize words before the Tianwu Army.

The quality of an army is also an indispensable part of combat effectiveness, although it is now the Southern Song Dynasty with the highest level of culture in ancient China, but for the sergeants and soldiers of the army, literacy is still a fantasy, but Ye Yingwu does not mind solving this problem, after all, what he needs is a high-quality absolute elite, which will be the greatest basis for his future promotion.

After the archery range is the place where the traditional arms of the Song army are trained, such as spearmen and shield bearers, and you can also see two teams of men and horses charging face to face, which is clearly reproducing the confrontation on the battlefield.

The training system of the Tianwu Army is absolutely unique in this era, and it was originally formed on the basis of the modern training system provided by Ye Yingwu, and after the transformation of Su Liuyi, Zhang Shijie and other generals in combination with the characteristics of the battlefield in this era, in the final analysis, it is to pay attention to the overall operation of the army, the actual combat cooperation of all arms of the army, and the combat quality of individuals and small team soldiers.

This kind of drill close to actual combat is carried out with Ye Yingwu's insistence, although it is inevitable that there will be pain in every fight, but Su Liuyi and they all understand very well that this is to make the soldiers sweat and suffer more in peacetime, and shed less blood and tears on the battlefield. After all, the Tianwu Army is taking the route of elite soldiers, and the lack of every soldier may bring greater pressure to the entire army.

Several Yu Hou and Dutou, who were in charge of command, saw Ye Yingwu, but Zhang Shijie, who was following behind, gestured to them and asked the soldiers to continue training as usual. There happened to be hundreds of people in front of him in the mud after the rain with wooden knives and wooden swords roaring together, and a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Yingwu's mouth:

"Let's go over and have a look."

Two red flags danced in the wind, and next to the flag that symbolized the Song army, there were two general flags, but what was surprising was that the general flags that symbolized both sides turned out to be a "king" word. The two flags are constantly intertwined as if no one is subdued by the other, and the soldiers under the flags are also centered on the flags, desperately beckoning the swords in their hands to each other.

"Envoy, this is too ruthless, it's really ・・・・・・" Yang Xuqiao's face suddenly turned red, and he pointed to the crowd and said, sure enough, among the staggered muddy figures, several soldiers were desperately attacking each other's lower bodies, and a middle-aged man who was obviously dressed as a general next to him tore off his upper body armor casually, revealing his strong shirtlessness.

Ye Yingwu coughed lightly, and Zhang Shijie next to him was also a little embarrassed, these guys usually fight like this, after all, in order to pursue the truth on the battlefield, except for the blade is wooden, the rest are let go of their hands and feet, and it is normal to greet them in three ways.

But now that Su Niang is standing here with such a daughter, these bare-backed guys have no image at all, and they are going down the three roads, which makes Zhang Shijie's face a little unbearable.

"After all, on the battlefield, those who can kill the enemy are good moves, let them fight." Ye Yingwu waved his hand, "I have long heard that there are 'double kings' in the town navy, but these two are the ones in front of you?" ”

Zhang Shijie nodded: "It is Wang Huchen who commands Wang Huchen and Wang Dayong who command the front chamber of the Zhen Navy, and these two generals are also at the forefront in this battle of Lianhai, and they are the most seriously injured." Do you want to summon two commanders? ”

Ye Yingwu shook his head and said: "No, let them fight, I said before that everything must be done according to the truth on the battlefield, the two armies are fighting bloodily, you can't call all the commanders of other people, what kind of system is this?" Looking to the front, I was very curious about what General Su was doing. ”

With an appreciative smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Shijie pointed to the Chinese army tent in front of him: "Lao Su is basically either in the general platform or in the Chinese military tent, and now there is no one on the general platform, so let's go to the Chinese military tent to catch it!" ”

A few people walked along the somewhat muddy road, all the way were soldiers who were training desperately, after all, the battle of Huaibei made the town navy see the gap between themselves and the Mongolian Tatars, this time if it wasn't for the flying thunder cannon, I'm afraid I don't know who killed the deer.

"This time I returned to Zhenjiang Mansion and recruited 3,680 new soldiers." Zhang Shijie said as he walked, "But these numbers are still not enough, General Su and a certain estimate still need to recruit 3,000 people to make up for the loss of soldiers this time, after all, these recruits have not experienced the battlefield, and there are still many gaps compared with those veterans, even if it is to increase the training, there is no way." ”

"After all, people can't be resurrected after death." Ye Yingwu said slowly, and when he walked to the door of the tent, he heard the sound of arguments inside.

"If the Mongolian Tatars go south along the King Kong Terrace and turn from Anqing Mansion along the river to Huaidong, the last general will not believe that the Huai army under Li Tingzhi has the ability to block the Mongolian Tatars west of Yangzhou, then our town navy will have to make a choice, whether to cross the river to participate in the war or stick to the line along the Zhenjiang Mansion, and the erosion of the soldiers stationed in Jiankang Mansion will even exceed the previous Zhenjiang Mansion garrison soldiers, and once the Mongolian Tartars cross the river in Jiankang Mansion, then Jiangnan will be in danger!"

Immediately afterwards, it was the voice of Su Liuyi, who Ye Yingwu was more familiar with, and Su Liuyi could obviously hear that Su Liuyi was a little hesitant: "The Mongolian Tartars are not so powerful sailors, and the two Huai Shui divisions in the north and our Zhenjiang Prefecture Sailors are not dry meals, even if the Mongolian Tartar soldiers knock Yangzhou, Jiangnan can still be as stable as Mount Tai, not to mention that the town navy can be divided into a part to directly take over the defense of the garrison army of Jiankang Mansion. ”

Thinking of something again, Su Liuyi continued: "And don't forget, several Northern Expeditions started from Lianghuai, and they have failed repeatedly, and now the envoy obviously wants to take the road of King Yue Wumu back then, and drive Heluo directly from Jingxiang, and the Sichuan and Shu sides will definitely attack at the same time, so in Lianghuai and Jiangnan, the role of the town navy is to keep an eye on this place, and not let the Mongolian Tartars cross the thunder pond by half a step." ”

"Anyway, just now it was just a hypothesis of the last general, and it is estimated that the Mongolian Tartars are ・・・・・・"

"Go on." Suddenly, a voice interrupted the discussion in the camp, and Ye Yingwu showed a look of appreciation on his face and walked in slowly.

The two people in the tent hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "The last general will see the envoy!" ”

Ye Yingwu nodded, he didn't hear the voice just now, but now he has recognized it when he sees it, and it is Li Fu, the commander of the rear compartment of the town navy, who is arguing with Su Liuyi, and he is also the only civilian official among the commanders of all the wings of the Tianwu Army. However, Li Fu, who was standing in front of Ye Yingwu, was dressed in a drape and pressed a sword, if it wasn't for the fact that his face was still a little fair, he couldn't see the appearance of the civil official standing in front of Ye Yingwu.

"You say yours." Ye Yingwu waved his hand, "Just now Li Du commanded the envoy to say that the Mongolian Tartars went south from King Kong Terrace, it is not impossible, after all, the King Kong Terrace Cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although it is estimated that Li Tingzhi will definitely pack up his forces to attack King Kong Terrace after returning to Lianghuai, but just like General Su said, the Mongolian Tartars are not dry rice, where is King Kong Terrace so easy for him to fight!" ”

Su Liuyi and Zhang Shijie were shocked in their hearts, originally the two of them were still discussing whether they needed to support a batch of flying thunder cannons for the Huai army at a critical time to assist in the attack on King Kongtai, but now with Ye Yingwu's attitude, this is simply impossible. Ye Yuanjun never planned to let the Huai army capture King Kong Terrace.

"Huaidu and Boyan are not easy characters to deal with." Li Fu took a breath lightly, looked at Ye Yingwu with vigor, and stretched out his hand to point on the map, "The two of them won't be able to see such a big gap, and it can even be said that Huaidu attacked King Kong Platform in order to go straight down to Huaixi from King Kong Stage." Huaixi has Anqing Mansion, an important town in Jiangbei, and the Xingzhou of the Tianwu Army is across the river behind Anqing Mansion, but the last general still thought that the Mongolian Tartars would ignore Anqing Mansion and directly outflank the back road of General Huaixi Xia, and then directly hit Huaidong Li to pacify! ”

Ye Yingwu looked at Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi, and after a moment of silence, the two glanced at each other, and both nodded cautiously. Ye Yingwu also raised his spirit in his heart, and carefully looked at the map, after all, he had changed the battle of Xiangyang beyond recognition, and what kind of attack the Mongol Tatars would take next was no longer something Ye Yingwu could predict.

In other words, the greatest advantage he had as a traverser had gradually dissipated, and the opponents faced by the Tianwu Army would change from known to unknown. Although Ye Yingwu had already infiltrated to the north through Jinyiwei early, after all, more than half a year was far from enough to establish an intelligence network that relied on support and transmission of information.

Li Fu's meaning Ye Yingwu has gradually been able to figure it out, not so much that this guy is talking about the threat that the Mongolian Tatars will pose to the two Huai next, but whether it is necessary to continue to expand the strength of the town navy and thoroughly expand the defense.

Following Li Fu's hand, Ye Yingwu's brows furrowed slightly, once the town navy is deployed, it must be like this Tianwu army, in one go, then the number of people must be expanded by at least half, and from the westernmost Taiping Prefecture is best to go directly to the easternmost Jiaxing Mansion, four or five state capitals along the way must all be guarded by soldiers, in order to ensure the stability of the entire Dajiang defense line, otherwise any mistake in the middle may lead to the collapse of the entire defense line.

"The town navy will immediately expand the troops," Ye Yingwu slapped the table, "but you can't act rashly, you have to defend the one-third of an acre of land in Zhenjiang Mansion!" As for other places, don't provoke for the time being. ”

Several generals of the Zhenhai Navy showed a look of surprise on their faces, and Ye Yingwu squeezed out a smile a little helplessly: "Wang Anhe's incident has shown that Jia Yidao is constantly stabbing a knife in the back, at this time, once the Zhenhai Navy is expanded on a large scale, it will cause Jia Yidao to make things difficult for a certain and Tianwu Army, and secondly, it will easily lead to a mixture of fish and dragons, so as long as Jiangnan is Zhenjiang Mansion, no other inch of land will be cared for, and Jiangbei, let Li Tingzhi go, don't move until the moment of crisis!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Although a little helpless, Li Fu still replied respectfully.

After all, this is not because Ye Yingwu is not strong, but because the situation is compelling.

There is a court that is ready to stab a knife in the back at any time, and no one else dares to calmly and arbitrarily defend in front, and it is already the best choice to hold this important node.

Ye Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked southeast along the map, Lin'an was still a big trouble after all, and sure enough, the threats inside the Xiao wall were always more heart-wrenching and helpless than outside the Xiao wall.

The tent was suddenly opened, and Guo Chang strode in, his face showing joy: "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, make the king, Wang ・・・・・・ that person has already said everything that should be said." ”

Guo Chang is shrewd, since Wang Anhe has confessed, then Ye Yingwu will let him go nine times out of ten, Guo Chang does not dare to call Ye Yingwu's old father-in-law by his name.

"He knows each other." Ye Yingwu sneered, and his heart was also soothed. (To be continued.) )
