Chapter 64: Drumming Attack

"Don't dare?"

Zhao Dongting said coldly: "You were originally a Song general, and surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty is disloyal." It is unrighteous to be ordered to persuade him to surrender and to speak disrespectfully to his old master and colleagues. If a disloyal and unrighteous person like you is punished by all, why don't I dare to kill you?"

Fan Wenhu saw that Zhao Dongting's words were loud and murderous, and he couldn't help but be a little frightened in his heart, opened his mouth, and said: "The two armies are fighting, don't kill them! Don't you even ignore the rules?"

He was not a person who regarded death as home, otherwise he would not have betrayed Song Touyuan in the first place. Now I just want to save my life for this reason.

Zhao Dongting just sneered, "I'm sorry, I don't understand these rules." You can go to Hades and sue me. ”

After saying that, he glanced at the guards.

The guards understood, and a few spears instantly pierced Fan Wenhu's back, and the two shots on his neck cut most of his neck.

Blood gushed out.

It's a pity that Fan Wenhu is full of martial arts, and he didn't even have a chance to struggle and returned to the underworld.

When he came, he didn't think that the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty would dare to kill him, he just thought about how to show off his might in front of those old colleagues in the Southern Song Dynasty, and let them see that although his official position was not high before, now, he is also an existence that they need to look up to.

Now, naturally, these wishes can only disappear with him.

The two Yuan army pawns knelt next to them and saw Fan Wenhu being killed, and their faces changed with fright, and they trembled.

Zhao Dongting was also a little disgusted when he looked at Fan Wenhu's bloody corpse, after all, he had never seen such a bloody scene very much. Forcibly suppressing the discomfort in his heart, he said to the two Yuan army pawns: "You go back with his head and tell Zhang Hongfan that if you send such a descendant again, I will kill one by one." ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and went back to the dormitory.

Fan Wenhu's head was cut off by the guards, and the Yuan army pawns held it tremblingly, and they were escorted down the mountain by the guards. But they were lucky to be able to escape with their lives.

Soon, the two rowed back to the Yuan army fleet, and then went straight to Zhang Hong Fan Shuai's boat. Now the three armies are not moving, and the bridges are connected between the ships.

Zhang Hongfan watched the two of them come back with Fan Wenhu's head in their hands, and Li Heng was both shocked, and when they looked at each other, they both felt incredulous.

Zhang Hongfan asked, "What's going on?"

It is a customary rule for the two armies to fight and not to kill them. He really didn't think that Fan Wenhu would go completely, and only one head would come back. It is not a good sign that the general will be lost before the end of the battle begins.

The two pawns trembled and replied honestly: "General Fan took the two of us to meet the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and before he said a few words, the emperor of the Song Dynasty ordered General Fan to be beheaded, and he also said......"

Zhang Hongfan was already furious, "Arrogant boy, what else is he saying?"

The pawn lowered his head and replied: "He said that if you send another general to persuade him to surrender, he will see one and kill another." ”

"Good, good, wow......"

Zhang Hongfan gritted his teeth in anger, "I underestimate the courage and determination of you people!"

Li Heng suddenly whispered beside him: "Brother Hongfan, control your anger......"

Zhang Hongfan was slightly stunned, and then the anger on his face disappeared very quickly. He sat back in his chair, glanced at Li Heng with a little gratitude, and waved his hand to the two pawns, "Okay, you guys go down!"

The word "control anger" is very important to the commander of the first army.

The two pawns kowtowed and left.

Zhang Hongfan watched them leave the handsome boat, and said to Li Heng: "Thank you Brother Li Hengxian for reminding me, if it weren't for you, my brother would probably have to resist immediately waving his army and going up the mountain." That emperor of the Song Dynasty even beheaded his envoys, it's really a great insult to my brother......"

Li Heng smiled faintly when he heard this, raised his glass and said: "Why doesn't Brother Hongfan think like this? The Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers hurriedly killed Fan Wenhu regardless of the rules, they must have been afraid of the army's chaos, which is enough to show that they are now frightened birds. Losing Fan Wenhu, but learning that the Southern Song Dynasty army was in turmoil, was not a loss. ”

Although he is not a Mongolian, he has always looked down on Fan Wenhu and other Southern Song Dynasty generals, because he did not have any sadness at all for Fan Wenhu's death, just like a dead ant.

Don't look at him, Li Heng laughed like Maitreya Buddha, but in fact he was a ruthless and well-known smiling tiger in the Yuan Dynasty court.

Zhang Hongfan heard him say this, and when he thought about it, his face really eased completely.

And at this time, it is also close to Yinshi.

When Zhao Dongting returned to the dormitory, he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, and suddenly thought, "The Yuan army is coming to attack!"

He thought that Zhang Hongfan had not sent someone to persuade him to surrender a long time ago, but now he must have a good intention.

He had just decisively killed Fan Wenhu, and he did have the intention of guarding against the instability of the army. Moreover, he also wanted to deter Zhang Hongfan, lest he send someone to persuade him to surrender. At the same time, it also has the meaning of deterring the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Dongting knew in his heart that even if his prestige was extremely high recently, there must be many people in the court who had the intention of surrendering.

Slowly getting up from the bed, he walked outside the door and said to the guards next to the door: "Go and inform Lord Zhang Shijie and get ready for battle." ”

"Yes!"

The guards were given orders.

In the dark night, the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty were willing to act quickly. In the past two days, the Yuan army slept well, and they also ate well and slept soundly.

As soon as Yin arrived (3 o'clock), I only heard the horn of the Yuan army on the warship.

It's time to attack!

Zhao Dongting held the binoculars and ran to the cliff again.

Li Yuanxiu, Ying'er, Le Wu, and dozens of guards with good martial arts followed him closely.

When they arrived at the edge of the cliff, they saw the warships of the Yuan army continuing to approach the island. In a matter of minutes, we were on the shore, and hundreds of boats lined up along the shore.

Each ship has a very wide and long board bridge protruding from it, and then it is set up on the shore of the island.

Immediately afterward, the sound of the trumpet suddenly turned to the sound of thunderous drums. One drum after another seemed to shatter the night sky.

Countless Jurchen soldiers carrying quivers and spears were the first to rush from the warships to the island, and the board bridge creaked.

Since the warship, there are still small boats that have been lowered to transport batches of war horses ashore.

The army of the Yuan Dynasty was mixed, and the emperor Kublai Khan knew how to make good use of it, and he received countless virtuous ministers and famous generals. Among them, the army composition is roughly divided into the Mongol army, the Jurchen army and the Han army that surrendered after the destruction of Jin, and the Southern Song army that surrendered one after another. Zhang Hongfan was of Han nationality, but he was surrendered in the territory of the Jin State, and he had many Jurchen soldiers under him, and he was much trusted and loved by him.

Therefore, these Jurchen soldiers have always served as vanguards in the armies under his command.

Within a dozen minutes, tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers landed on the shore of the island and left their positions, ready to go.

It was followed by the Chinese army. These are mostly composed of Han Chinese armies in the territory of the Jin State, and although their prestige is not as good as that of the Jurchen army, they are not weak.

Kublai Khan's army was extremely strong, and it was already beginning to take shape at this time.

In the past some time, nearly 40,000 men of the forward army and the Chinese army have landed on the island and lined up on the beach, densely packed with torches.

Zhao Dongting held a telescope and watched on the cliffside, barely able to see clearly.

Zhang Shijie was next to him, also holding a telescope, and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the Yuan army wants to attack it in one go!"

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly.

Zhang Shijie showed a slight smile on his face, "It seems that their grain and grass are not abundant." ”

Zhao Dongting nodded again, but still did not speak.

He had never seen such a scene, and his heart was shocked, it turned out that there were so many people fighting in ancient times, so bluffing.

Rao is standing high on the edge of the cliff, and he can also feel the murderous aura of the Yuan army.

On the Yuan Marshal's ship, Zhang Hongfan, Li Heng, and those Mongolian supervisors naturally couldn't see the situation on the island, but they all had a relaxed smile on their faces, and they were obviously determined to win the island.

A general came to report, "Commander, our army is ready!"

"Good!"

Zhang Hongfan scolded Fang Xuan, "Beat the drum to attack!"

The drummers of the Yuan army received the order, and the drumming immediately turned from slow to urgent, rumbling like the continuous thunder of a thunderstorm night.

Almost at the same time, the drums of the Song army on the island of Chenzhou also resounded.

"Rush!"

The vanguard army of the Jurchen tribe of the Yuan army took the horse army as the front and the infantry army behind the palace, and the shouts shook the sky, and they were about to kill towards the palace.

At this time, on their left and right sides, a Southern Song Dynasty army rushed over.

The night was thick, and the Yuan army couldn't see the arrangement of the Song army, but Yue Peng and the others were all looking forward to the telescope, but they could vaguely see the movements of the Yuan army.

When the Yuan army landed on the island, there were so many torches and waves, and they had already taken the sergeants to ambush not far away.

However, the generals of the Yuan army did not panic, knowing that the Song army was not stupid and watched their own army rush up to the palace, roaring, and each of them led their men and horses towards Yue Peng and Su Quandang's army.

The Yuan army was famous for its ability to fight well, and the soldiers were brave, but they were only flustered for a moment, and they quickly calmed down.

In their eyes, the army of the Southern Song Dynasty was the little sheep.
