Di Qing is also facing a problem, once out of Kunlun Pass is the boundary of Yongzhou, Nong Zhigao will inevitably send troops to meet it. But he led a large army to the south, and Kunlun Pass would be prepared again, and the Song army might not be able to occupy a condescending position, but would be attacked from both sides.

After thinking for a long time, Di Qing didn't come up with a good way, and looked at the yellow calendar boringly, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

The Lantern Festival in the fifth year of Emperor You is also the most solemn festival in the Song Dynasty, and Di Qing ordered the three armies to be rewarded to celebrate the festival. And he bought much wine and meat, and feasted three days. The generals were unpredictable, and some generals were unconvinced, and secretly thought, don't toss your kid, in a few days, Zheng Xianggong will ride south.

Nong Zhigao also sent someone to spy on him, and after learning about it, he was lax, what kind of famous general, it seems that Jiang Kai is not also a famous general in the northwest, what is the result? The Song people want to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and the barbarians also want to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and continue to have fun in the city of Yongzhou.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the sky was cloudy, Di Qing looked at the clouds in the sky, it seemed to be raining, not surprised but happy, suddenly sent troops, Di Qing was in the front, Sun Wei was second, Yu Jing Palace, came to Kunlun Pass in the evening. Hurriedly set up camp, in order to confuse the enemy, continue to put up lights. However, Di Qing's efforts were in vain this time, and according to the news after the war, the enemy did not know that the Song army suddenly came to Kunlun Pass on the Shangyuan Festival.

After arranging, the sky began to rain, a strong wind and rain, Di Qing whispered to Yang Wenguang: "General Yang, God help me." ”

The Shangyuan Festival has not yet ended, and the camps have drunk and feasted again. The first night banquet will be a general, the second night banquet will be from the officer, and the third night will enjoy the military school. It was the second day of the Shangyuan Festival, and it was the turn of the officer. Di Qing toasted one after another. But when the second watch was approaching, Di Qing suddenly said to Sun Wei: "I'm a little uncomfortable, you can drink for me." ”

Then he said to the generals, "Wait a moment. I'll go drink a little medicine and come back, whoever doesn't wait for me, court-martial. ”

Said in a joking tone. Don't wait for him. Did Di Qing use this to cut off his head? But the generals were really a little afraid, so they drank with each other, and then waited stupidly for Di Qing to come back, and this time it was dawn.

Di Qing did not go back to take medicine, but quietly left the barracks. The heavy rain continued to fall, and the barracks were brightly lit, and some of the lieutenants could be seen continuing to drink and feast. But a small force was secretly brought out by Di Qing and Yang Wenguang. First let Yang Wenguang feint to attack Kunlun Pass, of course, he couldn't attack it. He braved the heavy rain himself. Detoured to Foziao on the ten-mile road in Kunlun Guandong, passed through Changshan Station, and raided Nong Zhigao's garrison at Guanshan Fort.

Guanshan Fort did not have the treacherous terrain of Kunlun Pass, and coupled with the unpreparedness, hundreds of garrisons were all killed before they could resist.

Sun Wei and Yu Jing were still toasting, and some generals were not satisfied. I asked Di Qing why he hadn't come out yet? Drink in moderation, you can't drink all night, suddenly there is a report saying: "General Di's three drums have captured Kunlun Pass, and now Guannan Quy Nhon Shop is waiting for you to have breakfast." ”

All the generals were stunned, and some of the generals fell to the ground with the cups in their hands.

Actually, this statement is inaccurate.

Di Qing never thought about taking Kunlun Pass at all. It's a blind stop.

The battlefield can't let Nong Zhigao choose, he must choose by himself, choose where to choose, Quy Nhon shop, the terrain is open, which is conducive to the five thousand horsemen he brought to rush and gallop, and he still has a condescending momentum. But I don't know how high Nong Zhigao's military cultivation is, in case a large number of troops are stationed in Kunlun Pass, and the two sides are flanked, although the number of his own army is quite large, it can make Nong Zhigao feel cold, and the result will be defeated. Arrange all kinds of means of deception, some of them are used, some of them are not. Including not letting the generals disperse the feast, once the feast is dispersed, the wine and food are full, and they can't wake up when the time comes. Who will lead the army to quickly come to Quy Nhon to rendezvous? But Di Qing didn't believe in these generals in the south, and it was possible to say it, Yu Jing and other Wenchen were still pulling their legs behind. …,

The difficulty is not only inside, but also Kunlun Pass, Di Qing can't figure out how much Nong Zhigao can value here, even if it is a cross-section, he can't startle the snake, so that Nong Zhigao can station a large number of troops on Kunlun Pass. Even if there are only one or two thousand people, rushing to Quy Nhon shop condescendingly, it will cause serious turmoil in the decisive battle.

Let the scout bring the order back, Di Qing slowly marched towards Quy Nhon Pu, the wind and rain were still very strong, Di Qing said happily: "The thief doesn't know how to keep this, and there is nothing he can do." He thought that in the middle of the night, I didn't dare to come. ”

I don't know what he's talking about.

When he first heard that Nong Zhigao had begun to station soldiers at Kunlun Pass, Di Qing almost fell off his horse in shock. These days, the three words of Kunlun Pass have shrouded my heart like a haze, and now I have finally survived this difficulty safely. There are still enemies on Kunlun Pass, but those hundreds of enemies are nothing to worry about.

When he arrived at Quy Nhon Shop, Di Qing began to instruct his subordinates to bury the pot and make rice, and he had to wait for the large army behind him to come for breakfast.

The rain gradually stopped, and the sky lit up with a bright glow, and the birds chirped, indicating that a good weather was coming. Sun Wei and Yu Jing panted and led the 20,000 or 30,000 Song troops to catch up, and they were still celebrating yesterday, but today they were about to face a decisive battle, and some people felt very uncomfortable.

After breakfast, Di Qing ordered the three armies to rest, and then sent scouts to the front to investigate. Soon the scout brought back news that Nong Zhigao had mobilized men in Yongzhou.

Di Qing let out a long breath, which confirmed one thing, when Chen Shu's troops invaded Yongzhou, Nong Zhigao had not paid attention to Kunlun, his army came to Pennsylvania, Nong Zhigao sent people to garrison troops in Kunlun Pass, and sent people to repair this pass, it was just a whim, and he didn't think of the terrain from Kunlun Pass to Quy Nhon Fu at all. said: "Investigate and report again." ”

called a general, not Yang Wenguang, but another brave general, Zhang Yu. This person is not as famous as Yang Wenguang at this time, but his courage is far above Yang Wenguang. With the post of patrol inspector on Guangnan West Road, accompanied Di Qing to the south, Di Qing let him lead the forward army.

The two whispered a few words on the side, and the scout came back, saying that Nong Zhigao's army had set off from Yongzhou City. It's not very far, only fifty miles. Coupled with the fact that these people are athletic and familiar with the local roads, it won't take long to arrive.

At the beginning, the army was divided into three parts, and the two officials, Sun Wei and Yu Jing, were firmly blocked in the rear. Lined up, Nong Zhigao's 20,000 or 30,000 rebels all arrived. At this time, Nong Zhigao is not like the beginning. The family has a strong foundation, a shotgun for a gun, and all of them are obsessed with a big shield. Javelin in hand. The most powerful of the Song army was the archers, as long as they used their shields to block a few waves of arrow rain, the two armies would catch up. The cowardice of the Song Dynasty army will be revealed. This is the experience of Nong Zhigao.

Still fighting like this, using a big shield to block the bow and arrows, so that the two armies are handed over in a short hand, and the Song army will be defeated.

Nong Zhigao's army arrived, and all the purple clothes looked like a fire. Di Qing began to swear an oath, with Zhang Yu as the vanguard and Jia Kui as the left. Sun Jie will be right, and swear: "Those who do not wait for the order will be killed!" ”

The two armies began to fight, and as Nong Zhigao's army entered a hundred paces, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the barbarians raised their shields to block, and very few people were killed. Seeing this, these brutes shouted in unison. The many big victories have already brought some morale to this rebel force. Seeing the fierce appearance of these rebels, many of the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were really as Nong Zhigao thought, and many of them were cowardly.

First, Sun Jie's right army was defeated by Nong Zhigao, and Sun Jie himself died in the battle. Jia Kui of the left army led by Zhongkang, Chenghai and other native soldiers. Several times for Nong Zhigao was defeated, and when he saw the arrival of the Nong army, they were all terrified. But at this time, tens of thousands of people were fighting in this open area, and Jia Kui had no way to ask Di Qing, so he took charge of his subordinates to the high slope on the side, and used his condescending situation to counterattack and stabilize the left army. …,

Yu Jing and Sun Wei saw it very clearly in the back, but they didn't know Jia Kui's intentions, thinking that Jia Kui was forced to the mountain by the Nong army, and the right army collapsed, almost fighting on their own, and their hearts and minds were broken. Thought it was going to be another big defeat.

In fact, Di Qing also stood in the army, watching the development of the battle situation. Sun Jie sacrificed him to see it, but Ci is not in charge of the army, and now is not the time to use the killing weapon. Moreover, the cowardice of the southern soldiers is far beyond his imagination, fortunately they occupy a condescending position, otherwise it is possible that even the Chinese army will be shaken at this time.

Jia Kui leaned on a high place, gradually gathered more soldiers, and then rushed down to divide Nong Zhigao's army into two. Even if it is cut off, it may not work, and there are no other changes, Nong Zhigao can still get through again. But that's the time.

Di Qing held the white flag in his hand, and the strongest killed him.

Five thousand horsemen.

Fan cavalry is not omnipotent, it depends on how to use it, first of all, it needs flat terrain, so Di Qing chose Quy Nhon as a battlefield. Second, although strong, it lacks staying power. So from the war to the present, Di Qing has not used it, let him recuperate, and the final blow will be decided by the first battle.

Zhang Yu and Yang Wenguang took 5,000 cavalry to kill the Chinese army.

In history, although Di Qing brought 5,000 Tibetan cavalry, only a few hundred Tibetan cavalry were actually used, which may be due to tactical needs, or it may be that the imperial court did not give Di Qing the real 5,000 Tibetan cavalry at all.

At this time, Di Qing's command was a real five thousand horsemen.

The second change is the weapons and armor, after Zheng Lang returned from the Khitan, the first to enter the Xifu was the first to enter the house, it is impossible to eliminate all kinds of ugly phenomena one by one, but at least most of the armor production does not dare to be too sloppy. If you have little strength, you can't get into it when you throw a javelin on your armor.

Finally, there are horses, all of which are northwest horses brought from the northwest, and it is unlikely that they will climb the mountains and mountains like the ponies in the south, so some people in the court doubt that Di Qing will take these horses over in one bite, whether it will work. However, in the open area of Quy Nhon Suke, it is most suitable for northwest horses to gallop.

If Di Qing starts to show these 5,000 Tibetan cavalry, Nong Zhigao's tens of thousands of troops form a formation, protect them with big shields, and fire javelins in unison, if you can't pierce people, you can tie horses, and Di Qing's 5,000 Tibetan cavalry will have large casualties. But when the two armies fought on this, they fought together, and there was no defensive formation for a long time, so the five thousand Tibetan cavalry were sent out, coming if they wanted to come, going to go, only killing a few rounds back and forth, and Nong Zhi's subordinates were all dumbfounded. There is still such an army in the world?

I don't know who took the lead, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses scattered and fled to Yongzhou City.

Jia Kui came to ask for guilt, and Di Qing said: "If you win against the order, you have the right to do it, what is the crime." ”

He saw the scene just now very clearly, and what he said when he swore in was not aimed at these generals, but deliberately aimed at Yu Jing and Sun Wei, two civil officials, for fear that they would indiscriminately interfere in the command when they were critical. And he said, "Chase the enemy." ”

chased all the way, chased for fifty miles, and forced Nong Zhigao's army back to Yongzhou City before stopping. More than 4,000 people were captured and killed, and more than 50 puppet officials such as Huang Shimi, Nong Jianzhong, and Nong Zhizhong were killed one after another, and more than 700 people were captured.

The actual thief has collapsed.

As soon as the Nong army was defeated, they scattered and fled, and there were many areas around it that were dense subtropical rainforests, although Zheng Lang had a warrant to kill those who did not surrender, but once the defeated soldiers fled into these complex terrains, Di Qing was also unpredictable.

There are not many people killed, and there will not be many rebels that Nong Zhigao can bring back to Yongzhou City, less than 10,000 people, and they have suffered a new defeat, which will not harm the Song Dynasty.

Di Qing led the army slowly southward and surrounded Yongzhou, the city wall of Yongzhou was tall and strong, Nong Zhigao did not understand military affairs, and he was stronger than Chen Heng, so he had to prepare some siege equipment. However, there was an incident, as soon as Di Qing arrived in Yongzhou in front, the miasma in the back was faint, and some people said that the thief poisoned the upper reaches of the water, I don't know if it was the reason for the real poisoning, or the reason for the miasma, some soldiers were killed one after another. Zheng Lang couldn't say anything about this thing, let alone Di Qing. But after one night, there is a spring gushing under the village, sucking it sweet and delicious, and everyone will help. The latter was made by Di Qing, who was afraid of low morale, so he deliberately sent people to find a sweet spring and secretly lead it to the village to boost morale. …,

But the former made Di Qing very worried, not only the march and battle, once the development of Liangguang, a large number of people would be relocated, this is a miasma, and poisonous water, Lingbei people will be very difficult to live over.

wrote a letter to Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang replied with a letter, the fog was the heavy rain the day before yesterday, located in the tropics, the sun came out, the water vapor volatilized, and the fog caused by it was not miasma. As for poisoning, this is not a small river and canal in the northwest, but a large flow of water. What kind of poison can pollute the entire Yushui Basin? But Zheng Lang is also thinking about the reason, it will not be another situation, malaria, it is the first month at this time, even in the south, there are not many mosquitoes. Therefore, there is only one reason, the water and soil are not adapted, the body feels uncomfortable, and the terrain of Yongzhou is more low-lying and wet, which makes people feel uncomfortable with the water and soil, coupled with psychological induction, so many soldiers died violently. Therefore, in the letter, he also said that let Di Qing increase tofu in the military food, and Zhao Xun will bring a large number of apples from Qinzhou in the near future, both of which will be of great help in overcoming the water and soil adaptation.

It's not that it's easy to deal with miasma, and Di Qing doesn't understand it, so I'm afraid. With the unhurried manufacture of offensive equipment, Di Qing actually wanted to do it, but considering that Zheng Lang was about to come to Yongzhou, whether he captured or killed Nong Zhigao, it was a great credit. Zheng Lang is the first in line to the coach, and it is not good to eat it himself.

Anyway, the big picture was decided, so I slowed down. But Nong Zhigao didn't understand his good intentions, and after seeing the hopelessness of escape in Yongzhou City, Di Qing was about to fall asleep, when suddenly his subordinates broke in from outside to report: "General Di, something happened in Yongzhou City." ”

Di Qing put on a brocade robe and hurriedly ran out to watch, only to see the flames in Yongzhou City, and he didn't know what had happened. But this fire could not be allowed to continue to burn, and in the city Nong Zhigao plundered a lot of supplies, although the city was crippled by the fire, there were also some people. Di Qing was helpless and said, "The three armies are preparing to attack the city. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
