【169】Frontal encounter

Zhou Yi clenched the long sword in his hand, although this sword had not killed anyone until now. He always felt that if this sword was stained with human blood, he would definitely lose sleep forever. You must know that when she killed for the first time, she didn't fall asleep for several days, and she had nightmares when she fell asleep. In the final analysis, the psychological quality is not too strong.

But he always felt that he couldn't pass his own level, maybe the education he received was different, the kind of education in Zhou Yi's era, he could only hehe, sometimes watching the animal world felt that he didn't learn as much as the hunting dogs on TV to learn how to hunt, so after learning that, he couldn't starve to death, the more he was a skill.

He doesn't force himself anymore, since he doesn't adapt to things, then why do he have to force himself to adapt, isn't it very difficult for him to get by?

Just as he was thinking wildly, the closed city gate suddenly opened, and the rebels who had been killed in the city and lost their armor could not resist the pressure of the Song army's head-on confrontation, and abandoned the city and fled. But they just hit the muzzle of Zhou Yi's gun.

Zhou Yi still stood there and didn't move, but the sword in his hand was raised high, which was a signal to attack. He said to the archers, who were already in formation: "Shoot me and look haggard!" ”

Those rebels who fled in a hurry met a stern army, although such an army had only just been trained for a short time, but it was enough to deal with these people with leisure, not to mention that the bow and arrow still attacked indiscriminately, whoever was on the ground was unlucky, so many targets were omitted even to aim.

The bow and arrow flashed cold light and beckoned to these people, Zhou Yi was at the back of the line, and such a scene was uncomfortable for him to look at. They are all Chinese. Does it really make sense to kill each other like this? Zhou Yi felt that if the opposite side was the Yamato clan, he would definitely be the first to rush forward.

An hour. In just one hour, the corpses piled up in front of Zhou Yi and them were already half a person's height, almost blocking the city gate holes, and the other city gates were also like this, and the rebels couldn't even get out of the city in the city.

There are Song troops chasing and killing inside, and Song troops blocking outside, and now everyone finally knows what it means to call the earth and the earth not to work every day, and there are mourning all over the place for a while. How many people knelt and begged to watch, moving outside with snot and tears, striving for leniency.

For these people, Zhou Yi was still moved by compassion, and after stripping them all over their bodies, he let them leave, not far from the mountains and forests, they may be able to go in, as for the rest of Zhou Yi, they can't take care of it, let them fend for themselves.

An hour and a half after entering the city, Fang Yishan finally chose to surrender. Without the blockage of the city wall, the combat effectiveness of the peasant army was not on the same level as the regular army. In addition, the number of people is still less than the other party, so it's no wonder if you don't lose.

For Fang Yishan, Tong Guan has no mercy, this can be regarded as the initiator of the rebellion, plus he is a deserter of the Great Song Dynasty, whether according to the law or according to his identity, he should be killed, for such a person, Zhou Yi will not choose sympathy.

In the end, Fang Yishan's head was cut off, and outside the city gate where it was hung with a rope, according to Tong Guan, it was to be exposed to the sun for three days, which was absolutely torture for the era of respect for several corpses, and if anyone dared to do this, the enemy family must hunt him down to death.

Therefore, after hearing the news, Fang La was so angry that he vomited blood, and regardless of anyone's dissuasion, he led the army in the direction of Shezhou.

And the Song army is like a bamboo, but also to those who want to rebel with a huge deterrent, the rebel team known as one million has fallen apart in just such a short period of time, the most powerful Fang La army was broken two cities in a row, the rest of the disbanded disbandment of the surrender of Cheng, in short, the final result is to disappear.

In fact, the rebellion of the Song Dynasty was not intense, I feel that everyone is playing against each other, and if you are unhappy, you will rebel, if you come to beat me, I will disperse, that's all. Unlike the later Ming Dynasty, the rebellion was really vigorous, all kinds of gods appeared in turn, and they all had the ambition to be the emperor, whether it was Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong or Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong and others, they all fought to the death, and finally the vitality of the Ming Dynasty was greatly damaged, and the Manchu Tartars took advantage of it.

The Northern Song Dynasty, a country with a highly developed social civilization that developed on the basis of the Tang civilization, was not a dynasty with light military force. On the contrary, it was the most heavily armed dynasty in all dynasties. The proportion of its armament in the country's economy is almost comparable to that of the former Soviet Union.

But it is a pity that in order to maintain the consumption of more than 1.6 million troops, the Great Song Dynasty allowed the army to do business, but finally tasted the serious consequences of doing so. To put it simply, these soldiers all went to business, but they didn't become good businessmen, and their combat effectiveness dropped to scum.

Because of this reason, the combat effectiveness of the Song army's army is low, not the so-called heavy culture and light military force, if the country with the largest army in the world is still heavy on literature and light on military force, then how can it be regarded as heavy military force?

Therefore, the Song Dynasty, which has an army of one million, as long as the combat effectiveness of the army is improved, it will be the most powerful army in the world, and there is no one. Therefore, Zhao Jicai was so interested in Zhou Yi's training method. In addition, Zhou Yi can make money, if he can make the army strong and not worry about military spending, is there anything more perfect in the world? In this way, it may be understandable that Zhou Yi is favored.

Gossip is less, and it is said that after the recovery of Shezhou by the Song army, Zhou Yi still posted a notice to calm the people, saying that next year's taxes can be reduced or reduced, etc., at the same time, Zhou Yi also sent someone to pay a private visit, which official is more evil, he will be killed secretly, and he will claim to be eliminated by the rebels.

This battle was still quite tragic, the Song army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, Zhou Yi was full of slander about this, is it not as good as 30,000 deaths compared to the collapse of a section of the city wall?

It had been five days since Shezhou had been settled, and Zhou Yi also happened to get the news that Fang La had led the army to come at this time. He was immediately very happy, and was worried that he couldn't find him, but he didn't expect him to come to the door himself, this feeling is like someone giving a pillow when sleeping, and someone sending a steamed bun after eating, which is simply wonderful.

Tong Guan decided to wait for the rabbit in Shezhou, waiting for the arrival of the main lord this time, and this time the news of Fang La's personal trip to Shezhou also touched everyone's nerves, in general, this huge rebellion movement was made by him, if his troops were wiped out, then this vigorous national movement would be over, so everyone was very concerned.

Zhou Yi was also waiting for him, this was definitely the highlight, and at this time, the teams led by Wang Yu and Liu Zhen also came to join Tong Guan's army.

Wang Yu, a native of Kaifeng, is a minister. Born in the army. In the first year of Xuanhe, the official went to Wuzhou to observe the envoy, and the infantry army was waiting.

Liu Zhen, born in the army, was an official to the general of Zhuwei.

The two of them each brought an army of 100,000, so that a small Shezhou has actually gathered an army of 300,000!

At this time, Fang La's sphere of influence was already very large. In the first month of the third year of Xuanhe, Fang La sent Fang Qifo to lead the northern expedition, captured Chongde County in one fell swoop, besieged Xiuzhou in the northeast of Hangzhou, and divided his troops into Huzhou. Just as Wang Yu led the Song army of the East Road from the north, the Fang Qifo righteous army met the battle, was invincible, and retreated to Hangzhou. At the same time, Fang La led the main force to the south and successively captured Wu and Quzhou. The other divisions of the Righteous Army went north to conquer Ningguo County, Xuanzhou, and encircled the Guangde Army. The Righteous Army conquered more than 50 counties in six prefectures, including the entire territory of present-day Zhejiang Province and the vast areas of Anhui, southern Jiangsu, and northeastern Jiangxi.

Wang Yu had a head-on confrontation with Fang La, so he knew Fang La's weaknesses better than everyone present. Soon after, there was news that Fang La personally led an army of 200,000, which was not far from Shezhou, and as soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked, but in such a battle, the two sides actually invested more than 500,000 troops!

This was destined to be a vigorous battle, Tong Guan did not choose to sit in Shezhou and wait for the arrival of the rebels, but under the leadership of the scouts, he met Fang La's army all the way.

Zhou Yi took the initiative to apply to be in charge of logistics, citing his strong accounting ability and the fact that he was originally a strategic appeaser. But in fact, it was because he didn't dare to go to the front line to rush and kill, and that's it, Zhou Yi felt that if he rode a horse and rushed to the front to fight the enemy, he would be so frightened that he fell off the horse.

Of course, Tong Guan didn't know what he thought, and if he knew, he would definitely despise him with the strongest emotions.

After marching eighty miles, the scouts came to report that Fang La's army was fifty miles ahead and was expected to arrive in half a day. Tong Guan said that he understood, and then led the army to station, and they were now in a mountain forest. It's just over the New Year, and the snow hasn't been heard yet, but the snow here is not as heavy as that of Zhendingfu, and the snow on the trees is not thick, and the ice can be broken with a slight step on the ground. Zhou Yi didn't know why Tong Guan chose to be stationed here. Because it means that half a day later, the Song army and the Fang La army will have an encounter here.

These are not under Zhou Yi's control, and they don't even have anything to do with him, and now he is doing logistics work, which means that as long as the front battle does not lose too badly, it will not be his turn on the frontal battlefield.

As expected, by the morning of the next day, Zhou Yi woke up in a commotion, and someone told him that the Song army and the rebels had started a war in front of him, and he seemed to want to run to the front to see the excitement.

Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dude, stay behind honestly, you are just a firehead, do you know what the responsibilities of the firehead army are?" That is, carrying the black pot, cuckolding, watching others shoot, and the rest, you don't have to think about it. (To be continued......)
