Chapter 81: Iron and Stone Remain in the Heart After Death (1)
"You can see the Nanyang Strange Soldiers from Jiangnan, do you remember, when you sent this Strange Soldiers to the Three Buddhas to help quell the rebellion, they only had five hundred people, over the years, they have overcome obstacles and thorns, and have grown up in a foreign country that is completely unfamiliar with terroir and geography, and now they have become a magnificent army with 30,000 soldiers, you see these Nanyang warriors wearing the military uniforms of the Great Song Dynasty, holding the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty, coming to defend the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, this is all because of your merits!"
"Now Wang Jingsong led the troops in Sichuan to fight fiercely with the enemy at the mouth of the gorge, when you led the army in Sichuan repeatedly tug-of-war, with wisdom and courage in the remote places of eastern Sichuan to open up territory, settle the common people, resist the onslaught of the Mongolian army, Sichuan has such a stable and stable rear today, only then has a large opportunity to recover the lost territory. Do you see the new White Horse Banner in the army? It was the Yunnan Barbarian and the Wu Barbarian soldiers and horses temporarily formed the Southern Yunnan Righteous Army, after Yang Chun's father led the army into Dali, and combined with the Gao clan and the Duan clan in the resistance, widely contacted the barbarians around the country, and dragged the 100,000 Mongolian army step by step in the jungles and mountains of Yunnan. β
The more Li Tingzhi spoke, the more excited he became, he walked to the big tent, pointed to the direction of the north and said: "The tomb of Meng Xianggong is in Jiangbei, what did he say to you when he was dying!" Do you still remember the words "I don't hate to die, there is a public in the world, and the people of the society are free to worry"? Nowadays, from Jinghu, to Sichuan, to Hunan, to Lianghuai, to Jiangnan, and even Liangguang Fujian, and even Nanyang Dali, every part of the Great Song Dynasty is slowly waking up from its slumber, the people are getting richer day by day, the officials are becoming more and more close to the people year by year, the country is based on the concept of civilization and education, and the neighboring countries are full of scholars who admire the Great Song Dynasty. Why is it that at this moment, you are suddenly afraid, is it true that the hero who guarded Shatou City and the pillar of the country who defended Xiangyang City is really gone? Or after logging in to the Phoenix Pavilion, people will change after all? β
"Shut up!" Even Bai Yijie, who was standing next to Zheng Yunming, felt that it was too much to scold Zheng Xianggong like this, and shouted categorically: "Prime Minister has deep meaning, where can you be involved!" left and right, tied Li Tingzhi down, and severely punished the ten army sticks! β
Zheng Yunming, who looked down at the chessboard and didn't seem to pay attention to these scoldings, suddenly raised his head at this time, and said like a dream: "Huh? You don't have to, just one Li Tingzhi scolded me, and there is no need to talk about any national warriors, as for Ezhou, if you can save it, you can't save it, and if you can't save it, you can't save it, all in all, there is only one sentence now, that is, the time has not come. β
He slowly stood up, arched his hand at Liu Kezhuang, and said, "Mr. Liu won." Then he slowly turned around and walked towards the back of the tent, while sighing loudly: "Winning or losing is a common thing, and the time has not yet come."
Li Tingzhi glanced at Bai Yijie suspiciously, Bai Yijie shook the feather fan meaningfully, and didn't say a word.
That night, several main staff members and generals gathered in Bai Yijie's tent, Shenwu Left Deputy Army commander Zhang Zhen is a native of Shu County, the temper is the most urgent, as soon as he entered the tent, he said in a loud voice: "When is it, Xianggong is still so slow, it is really anxious Lao Zhang, as long as Xianggong gives an order, we will take a boat to take Ezhou and kill the Mongolian soldiers!" β
Xiang Shibi was newly subsumed by Zheng Yunming, and he was only grateful to Zheng Xianggong, and shouted loudly at the moment: "Don't do it, you should know better than me how strict Xianggong is in governing the army, you can't order anyone who moves a soldier without permission, and he may lose his head at any time, by the way, where is Zhang Shijie at such a critical moment?" β
"Who knows where he went? Military advisor," Zhang Sheng, the commander of Jing and Hubei, said to Bai Yijie: "Yang Chun's father is not here, and Wang Jingsong is not here, now the only one in the army who can make a big decision for Xiang Gong is you, you should make a plan for Xiang Gong, now Wei Sheng and Chen Guang are surrounded by the enemy, and they may not be able to save them again if they delay for three or two days, I don't believe that Xiang Gong is a foolish person who can give up a top general like Wei Sheng, and I don't believe that Xiang Gong is a cold-blooded person who can't save his subordinates when they see death!" β
Bai Yijie looked calm, and he couldn't help but suspect in his heart, Zheng Yunming was by no means indecisive, and sitting back and watching the loss of Ezhou was of course a result that he had to try his best to avoid. The reason why Zheng Xianggong did not move was because the time he was waiting for was so important, and he even did not hesitate to risk Ezhou being conquered by the Mongols, as for what he was waiting for, even the White Army Division, who had followed Zheng Yunming for many years, did not know.
Zhang Zhenyu said indignantly: "In the past few days, the prime minister has not asked about military affairs, and every day he has gone to the river to fish and sit idly, and the military situation is so urgent. He really has this leisure and leisure, I think since the Xianggong was deposed from Beijing, there has been a little change, every day to chant what Taoist fairy words such as Taoism, do not ask about the food and clothing of the people, and do not care about the grievances of the soldiers. I think he was completely cold to the emperor. But although Xianggong is like this, the battle cannot be fought, even if Xianggong does not want to fight, we must fight! Han Feng, what do you say? β
Although Han Feng is under the same control as everyone else, his control is obviously completely different from other generals, and the position of the first general in the Southern Dynasty is not as stable as Mount Tai. Since the first general of the Great Song Dynasty is the focus of attention in the world, not only the enemy is watching, but also the soldiers and people of their own side are watching. Han Feng's prestige today is almost close to Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, who fought against the main force of the Jin State back then, and every word he said directly affected the morale of the entire Great Song Dynasty. But everyone knows the identity of Han Feng and Zheng Yunming's master and servant, and in the past ten years, Han Feng, as Zheng Yunming's most trusted confidant, has never expressed an opinion contrary to Zheng Yunming. Now he wants Han Shilang to leave his master and act alone, but I don't know if Han Feng has such courage.
Before Han Feng could speak, Bai Yijie immediately interrupted in a very stern tone and said, "What kind of bastard words are you talking about!" Haven't you heard the drama will be reconciled? β
The general and the peace is probably the only reason that can be explained clearly with these martial artists, when the enemy is current, if the prime minister and his generals have a mustard, it is one of the worst things for a country, Zhang Zhen asked this sentence, not only did not have anything for the war of resistance of the Great Song Dynasty, but would become the greatest help to the Mongolian army.
But I saw Han Feng reply slowly but firmly in a firm tone: "I only believe in Zheng Xianggong." β
Zhang Zhen was anxious and shouted: "I know the righteousness of you and Princess Zheng's servants, but today is not for your master and servant, but for the emperor, for the Great Song Dynasty, and for the lives of thousands of people in this half of the mountains and rivers. β
Han Feng shook his head and said: "Sheji Yang is one person, the countryman should be unparalleled, this is the gift of His Majesty to Xiang Gong back then, this ten years of anti-Japanese war road, Xiang Gong is not easy to walk like everyone, if we are not willing to give up, Xiang Gong is ten thousand times more unwilling to give up, if there is still a person in this great Song army who wants to fight to the death, it must be Xiang Gong, the generals' worries are purely superfluous, I don't expect that in three days, Xiang Gong will inevitably raise troops and fight a decisive battle with the Mongolian army. β
He turned his head to Bai Yijie and said, "This military advisor should know better than me." β
Bai Yijie smiled slightly and said, "I can only count one or two percent, how Zheng Gong will take measures, I will know after a long time." β
He put the feather fan on the Jingxiang topographic map hanging behind him, and sighed: "I just don't know if God can give Zheng Yunming enough time to win this 10,000 to 1 gamble." β
Bai Yijie's words are like a dark cloud hanging over Ezhou, which is not a good omen for Ezhou at this moment. The reorganized Mongol army ignored the Song death squads that desperately rushed out of the attack, and attacked the city of Ezhou again, this time, their morale was even so high that they did not wait for dawn to attack again, but boldly launched a large-scale night attack. This was a trick that MΓΆngke had carefully prepared for a long time, and the Mongol army had always been accustomed to fighting during the day, and there was no doubt that the light in the day was sufficient, which could provide the Mongolian archers with excellent archery skills to fully swing. However, they were facing the new Song army with an advantage in artillery and firearms, and the Mongols inevitably fell behind in the daytime fire, although they may still have an advantage in the number of firearms, but the Mongols lagged behind the Song in the use of firearms, the quality of firearms, and the tactics of the generals in deploying firearms. Meng Ke then chose to fight at night as a way to attack the city of Ezhou. If Meng Ge may have been a little hasty in choosing the timing of his attack on Jiangnan and did not conform to the natural prudence of a soldier, then his observation at the tactical level was first-class, and his choice of night battle just caught the death hole of the Song army.
The muskets and artillery used by the Song army have now all used arquebus mechanisms, and no one has used fire gate fire anymore, which is not only the advantage, but the disadvantage is that the smoldering fire rope is an excellent target in the dark night. The well-trained Mongol archers shot at the almost imperceptible red bright spots in the gloomy night, and almost every time they were sure to hit, and if it weren't for the fact that the Song army used too many places to cover in the street battles, the Mongol archers would have inflicted more casualties.
Chen Guang struggled to support in such an unfavorable situation, a squad of troops was sent out, and only a few people were left to come back in a moment, and the Song army was even forced to give up the advantage of firearms, and stepped forward to fight with the Mongolian army with a knife and a gun, and some streets and alleys were lost and regained in repeated tug-of-wars, gains and losses, but what made Chen Guang proud was that the Mongolian army suffered great casualties every time it took a step forward, not an inch of land was not given up in vain after fierce fighting, and there was not a single alley mouth that was not filled with enemy corpses.
