Chapter 307: One Hundred Thousand Pihu Controls the Carved Bow (I)

PS: Plus more!

"Suizhou fought beautifully." Ye Yingwu said with a smile, casually threw the letter paper in his hand into the bonfire beside him, and let the tongue of fire swallow the letter paper that recorded the news of Suizhou's great victory, "Song Rui lived up to expectations, and the two guys from Xingzhou Sailor finally relieved their hatred." ”

Wu Chucai, who was sitting next to Ye Yingwu, stretched out his hand to bake the fire: "Envoy, now that Xianggong Wen has taken his brothers to fight the Han River in such a high-profile manner, will he force the Mongolian Tartars to withdraw from Tianchang?" After all, Wen Xianggong is putting on a posture to conquer Nanyang and go straight to Heluo, and the only thing that the Mongolian Tartars can find in the Central Plains now is the thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses in front of us, once Heluo is lost, they will lose more than they gain. ”

Without waiting for Ye Yingwu to answer, Jiang Tie couldn't help but pout: "You are too naΓ―ve, Boyan didn't just come to the south bank of the Great River, he obviously came to stare at the envoy." In the past few days, there have been more and more Mongolian Tatar sentry horses around us, which means that Boyan is about to lose his grip and wants to go south to pursue the envoy. But if he has the ability, let the horse come, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of sons and daughters in Liuhe behind us, just with more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in the right wing of the navy in this town, let him knock off his front teeth! ”

Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire, and said lightly: "For Boyan, it is impossible to let a certain lead the town navy to be free here, because he knows very well that even if he leaves a certain person to deal with Song Rui now, he is just tired of running for his life, because as long as he frees his hands, he will not let the two Huai Ansheng live, not to mention how Li Tingzhi and Li Anfu are simple goods, now it is estimated that the Huai army has crossed the Huaishui one after another, and Li Tingzhi will not stare at Shandong with an empty hinterland." ”

Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai couldn't help but take a light breath and felt sad for Boyan. Since the 100,000 army was wiped out in the first battle of Xiangyang, Mongolia really can't get enough foot cavalry to reorganize the attack, this time the 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Boyan are already the last mobile force, and the rest can only barely hold the original city, and often the troops are thin, like Suizhou, the outpost on the north bank of the Han River, can let the Song army, which has little experience in attacking fortifications, go down in a battle, and you know what Mongolia has become weak now.

Behind the two great victories of Jingangtai and Jiaozhou, it was not so much the light division of the Huai Army and the Jiaozhou Naval Division that advanced, but the overstretched Mongolian elite.

"That's the most important part of this move." Ye Yingwu stood up with a smile and clapped his hands, "Boyan may not be in a hurry, but now he must take the initiative to come to the door to fight with us, after all, if he can't solve it quickly, it is estimated that the two hinterlands of Shandong and Heluo will be stirred up, and don't forget, Xingzhou Lu Junshi and Jiang Hao are not easy to provoke, maybe Xia Gui doesn't have the courage to attack, and the two of them dare to take the Tianwu Army to the top." ”

Jiang Tie faintly sensed something, and said aranly: "Is the envoy saying that the Tianwu Army is going north?" ”

Ye Yingwu nodded and looked at the dim stars in the sky: "It is estimated that now that the Mongolian Tatars are already coming to Liuhe, Lu Junshi will not go to Anqing Mansion stupidly, for him, the best choice is to go to Gwangju and Xincai, which can not only threaten the back road of King Kong Terrace to the east, but also directly cooperate with Wen Songrui to go straight to the Central Plains!" ”

After being silent for a moment, Ye Yingwu stretched his waist: "What's more, maybe the old general Gao is still a little conservative in Sichuan and Shu, but General Zhang Jue will definitely seize this opportunity, which is enough for Liu Cheng to drink a pot." You must know that the Mongolian Tartars in Sichuan and Shu have also been transferred a lot, and it is when the troops are empty. Moreover, Sichuan and Shu are relatively close to Xiangyang, and it is inevitable that the result of the battle of Xiangyang will affect them, and this time it is difficult for the Mongolian Han family sons in Sichuan and Shu to work hard for their masters on the grassland as before. ”

Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai both took a breath of cool air.

Who would have thought that the Song army's counteroffensive would come so suddenly and so mightily, from Sichuan and Shu to Lianghuai, and did not hesitate to set off a full-scale war, burning the war from Luzhou to Lianhai. Thinking of the countless sons and daughters on this long front, the red flag opened, and the swords and guns were like a forest, Wu Chucai and Jiang Tie felt a burst of blood stirring in their hearts.

To be able to follow the envoy to fight him, hurry! Luckily!

The sound of horses' hooves hurried, shattering the dark silence, Ye Yingwu was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. And as if realizing something, the town naval non-commissioned officers everywhere who were waiting for each other also opened their eyes. The sentry rode directly in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, jumped down and bowed his hand at Ye Yingwu, and said urgently: "Envoy Qiqi, the Mongolian Tatar forward cavalry is a team of five thousand people, less than ten miles away from here!" ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "It's not far from Liuhe here, Boyan is determined to catch up at this time, but unfortunately I don't know if it's a little late." ”

Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai both bowed their hands at Ye Yingwu: "Please also give an order!" ”

And the tent of the Chinese army camp was opened, Su Niang yawned in the wind, and walked out quickly with the handle of the knife in one hand, heroic posture, looking at Ye Yingwu: "Envoy, how is this battle good." ”

After Ye Yingwu pondered for a while, he first faced Xiao Yangzi, who was still patrolling at the gate of the village just now, so some people who were in a hurry ran over and ordered: "Take the personal guards, hold up the flag of a certain general, and let's retreat slowly and leisurely towards Liuhe." ”

Xiao Yangzi hurriedly straightened his helmet and answered. And Ye Yingwu then looked at Wu Chucai: "The two of you lead the three thousand Erlang first, but you must make arrangements in front, once the Mongolian Tartars really bite our back road, we must stop and go up, so that the three teams take turns to avoid being entangled here by the Mongolian Tartars." ”

Wu Chucai and Jiang Tie nodded at the same time, they could also sense that this was a test for themselves, after all, with the growth of battlefield experience, it was impossible for the two of them to always follow Ye Yingwu as the commander of the guard, and sooner or later one day they would be sent to each army to lead troops on the battlefield, so Ye Yingwu asked them to lead a team this time, and he also wanted to consider the ability of these two guys.

"Su Niang, don't run around, follow so-and-so." Ye Yingwu watched a few people leave, and then looked at Yang Xu with a headache. It's not that he doesn't want to take Su Niang, but because of such a battlefield rush and ruthless sword, if Su Niang is injured or has any accidents, Ye Yingwu is really difficult to accept, but he can't resist the requirements of those Wan Niang and Su Niang in the back house, so he can only let Yang Su follow inseparably, at least this can be regarded as having someone to help when dealing with the news between the six doors and the Jinyi Guard.

Yang Su didn't plan to do more, Lu Wanyan and Qiqin asked her to follow Ye Yingwu, mainly because they hoped that someone could watch their husband closely and be able to provide more protection when they encountered danger, but for Ye Yingwu, there was really any danger, and he would rather block it for Yang Su himself, rather than let her help him shelter from the wind and rain.

The sound of drums has echoed in the camp, but in fact, it is a superfluous move, because the lonely sound of horses' hooves just now has awakened the soldiers who dare not sleep at ease, so the first drum has not yet fallen, and the soldiers in the right wing have already been assembled.

Ye Yingwu turned over and got on his horse: "Jiang Tie, Wu Chucai, you two have brought someone well!" ”

The two of them responded at the same time, and then took the lead out of the camp.

At this time, it has been able to tremble faintly, obviously the Mongolian cavalry is not far from here, this is in line with Boyan's style, as long as he is determined to pursue, it must be a battle to determine the victory, just like the battle of Jingangtai is this truth, in order to be able to defeat the Huai army in a battle, Boyan even did not hesitate to personally lead the team to rush to the front, so that the Mongolian cavalry crashed into the Huai army formation as if it was a chicken blood, and in the end, even if Li Tingzhi and Xia Gui desperately led the Chinese army to the top, it was inevitable to be defeated.

"Who's coming? Have you ever seen the flag? Ye Yingwu asked calmly, he didn't seem to be panicked by his broken back, and he didn't even care that the main and only purpose of these Mongolian cavalry was to take their own heads.

Xiao Yangzi hurriedly replied: "It should be Huaidu, as for Boyan's absence, I don't know, but the last general thinks that Boyan, as a commander, can't bring a cavalry as a striker." ”

"That's because you don't know Boyan," Ye Yingwu sneered, "Go!" ”

Although the second monk couldn't figure it out, Xiao Yangzi didn't say much, after all, he didn't have the same ambition as Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai, he thought that when Ye Yingwu's personal guard, he would be very good when he went into battle to kill the enemy, and he commanded thousands of troops and horses to fight on the battlefield, and it was difficult to be on the front line, and Xiao Yangzi also asked himself if he could not convince the public.

So what Ye Yingwu says is what it is, just listen.

"Mongol Tatar cavalry, two miles of land!" A sentry hurried in.

"Get out of camp quickly, don't let them catch up." Ye Yingwu said loudly, and drew his sword, "In addition, burn this camp tent directly." ”

A flame rose into the sky, illuminating the darkness, and in the firelight, the faces of Ye Yingwu and many town navy sergeants flickered.

――――――――――――――――――――-

"Where are the Mongolian Tatars?" Su Liuyi asked in a deep voice, "Why hasn't the previous news been delivered yet, and a certain has already seen the trace of the Mongolian Tatar sentry horse!" It's less than twenty miles from Liuhe, and you know what that means. ”

Wang Huchen stood up from the grass, put his hand on the pergola and looked ahead, the night was dim, in fact, he couldn't see how far at all, and he could only vaguely find the figure of the Song army sentry not far away: "General, the sky is too dark, unless you touch it under your nose, it is not so easy to find the Mongolian Tatars, and besides, the Mongolian Tatar sentry horses just now also rushed together with our people by mistake, not so much to explore here, but to open your eyes and rush to the left of Liuhe." ”

Su Liuyi gritted his teeth and looked at the dim and silent field in front of him: "I hope so, but I am always uneasy in my heart." After all, there is only the right wing around the envoy, and the Mongolian Tartars alone have more cavalry than him, and he knew that in such an embarrassing situation today, he should not have let the envoy himself be this bait! ”

Wang Huchen said helplessly: "The envoy is not a bait, in fact, his subordinates don't believe that Boyan will be stupid to bump into the door, I'm afraid that only the envoy in front can make Boyan ignore Xiangyang and chase him in one go." ”

Sighing softly, Su Liuyi paced back and forth on the hill a little anxiously, and up and down the hill, all the town navy sergeants had already held their breath, staring straight ahead. I have to say that today is not without benefits, such a late night when you can't see your fingers, you can just be unprepared, but the premise is that the Mongolian Tatars want to rush into this trap.

This is a decisive battle for speed, if Boyan can surround and defeat Ye Yingwu before he rushes into this trap, then Mongolia wins, if Boyan chases and accidentally falls into the trap, the last main force of Mongolia's infantry will also be lost.

But what worries Su Liuyi is that in terms of speed, the Song army that actually relies on two legs does not have an advantage, even the non-commissioned officers of the Zhenhai Navy inherited from the Cong Tianwu army are all iron-footed, but no matter how fast people go, it will be difficult to catch up with the cavalry.

"General, be relieved for the time being," Wang Huchen saw Su Liuyi's worries, and persuaded softly, "The right wing of the Zhenhai Navy is the old foundation of the right wing of the Tianwu Army, and it has always been the general and the Marquis of Yu who personally served as the commander of the right wing and the Marquis of Yu, the last battle of Huaibei was to relieve the siege of Wuhekou with the right wing, if you want to say anything else, maybe you are not convinced, but this rush and retreat, I am afraid that no one can compare to the right wing." ”

Su Liuyi glanced at him: "You take care of yourself, don't use it to comfort someone at this time." ”

Seeing that Su Liuyi was a little angry, Wang Huchen smiled, and just wanted to walk up to the top of the hillside, and then try his best to look into the distance, a herald had already strode over: "Qiqi two generals, the rear carriage has arrived at the right wing one after another, and in addition, Li Du in the right compartment commanded the envoy to send a villain to inquire if it is necessary to send a sentry horse." ”

"Li Fu is not slow." Su Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his hand after a moment of silence, "Let him hide carefully, don't act rashly, and don't send out the sentry horse, there are enough sentry horses in the front compartment here, this day is dark, and a lot of people is not necessarily a good thing, if you startle the snake, you will lose all your efforts, I am afraid that this truth does not need to be explained in detail." ”

The herald hurriedly left, and Su Liuyi was silent for a moment before saying, "Where has Marquis Zhang Yu taken the Chinese army and the left wing?" Now that the Mongolian Tartars have taken the bait, let's not care whether the envoy can lure people in or not, we must first unfold this formation. ”

Wang Huchen snorted: "The last general will send someone to investigate." ”

As if it was a chain reaction caused by the herald just now, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and a sentry horse came quickly: "General, about thirty miles away from here, the envoy has already handed over the right carriage and the Mongolian Tartar, and the right carriage is divided into three teams, and they take turns to delay forward, but it is estimated that it still can't support too ・・・・・・."

Before he finished speaking, another herald came quickly: "General Su, make the king's password, all sides of the town and navy are ready for war at any time, and the fish is about to enter the palace!" ”

"Here we are." Su Liuyi's heart fell to the ground, envoy, it's up to you now.

Wang Huchen also Huo Ran stood up straight and tried his best to look north. Behind him, the Song soldiers and soldiers have begun to get busy, the crossbowmen have been in place one after another, and many craftsmen have begun to direct the soldiers to carry the flying thunder cannon and the bed crossbow.

The place where the town navy chose to invite you into the urn is the continuous hills north of Liuhe, three hills are lined up in the field, two in the north, one in the south, just facing the northwest side in a triangle oblique arrangement, and Su Liuyi and Wang Huchen led the front compartment of the town navy to ambush between the two hills on the west side, and Li Fu has taken the rear compartment behind the hill in the east, so that no matter which two hills the Mongolian Tartars want to break through, they will be hit by the most intensive attack of the town navy.

In addition, Zhang Shijie would lead the Chinese army to move to the north of Liuhe City, so that he could not only get the support of the naval division, but also cover the Jiankang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, while Wang Dayong would lead the left wing top to the easternmost hill and the middle of Yangzhou City, so as to prevent the Mongol Tatars from escaping between it.

It can be said that the entire town navy has been spread out along this area, and the soup in the pot is boiling hot, quietly waiting for Boyan to deliver it to the door.

Wang Huchen's palms holding the hilt of the knife were already covered with beads of sweat, staring nervously at the heaven and earth in front of him.

A glimmer of fire had already appeared in front of him, and the sound of horses' hooves was accompanied by the sound of killing like a tide. The torches stretched like a long dragon swimming in the wilderness, and you could faintly see the blood-red flags reflected in the flames.

"It's our people." Su Liuyi said in a low voice, although he has experienced a lot of battles, he has never been as nervous as today, and his heart is pounding.

After all, although he tried his best to win every time before, there was not much pressure after all, but this time it was about Ye Yingwu's life and death, even Su Liuyi did not dare to slack off. He knew very well what kind of identity and status Ye Yuanjun was, and what kind of overt or covert influence he had on the Zhen Navy and even the entire Tianwu Army and the entire Great Song Army.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty is marching forward on the Northern Expedition on the whole front, Lianghuai, as the only battlefield that lures the enemy into depth and takes a defensive position, cannot make the slightest mistake, and Ye Yingwu, who commands the Lianghuai battlefield, cannot make the slightest mistake, which is related to the military spirit and morale of the entire Song army.

"General Qiyu, in front of you are the first batch of brothers from the right chamber who have withdrawn, and there are more than 2,000 people." A herald came briskly.

"The bow and crossbow are wound, and the flying thunder cannon is ready!" Su Liuyi stood up straight suddenly, looked around left and right, and said in a cold voice. (To be continued.) )
