Chapter 82: Twenty Years of Fame, Dust and Earth (1)
Therefore, the Yan family army has many soldiers, but there are few elite soldiers and many recruits, such recruits' combat skills cannot be said, and the morale is also quite low, almost as long as a shell falls into the infantry group, the entire Baihu team will immediately begin to break and flee, even if the Mongolian officers shout loudly, it will not work, although Yan Zhongsi led his three thousand men to fight very bravely, and even broke into the position of the Song army several times, but was immediately repelled by the Song army.
In the end, Tachar had to temporarily remove the thousands of Gaochang soldiers who were used to besiege Yingzhou, all of which were descendants of the Han Dynasty's garrison soldiers, but a thousand years have passed, and there are no traces of the Han people in their eyebrows, but these Gaochang descendants who think they are Uighurs are indeed good at infantry attacks, they do not form a dense formation to rush forward, but use the undulations of the terrain to constantly find shelter, and slowly approach the Song army's position, It was only at a distance of dozens of paces in front of the Song army's position that they began to accumulate troops and charge. However, the Song army took the initiative to rush out of their positions and took advantage of the failure of the Uighur infantry to form a formation, and decisively engaged them in a melee battle. Sure enough, when the Uighurs were unable to form a formation, they had to fight on their own and the Song army engaged in a large-scale melee in front of the position, while Zhang Sheng continued to throw new troops into the front line, and was finally able to repel the Uighurs.
However, such a battle was not good for the Song army, and after the first wave of Uighurs had just retreated, Tachar sent another detachment of Tibetan cavalry to continue the onslaught on Zhang Sheng's position.
"It can't go on like this!" The adjutant general looked at the scene of the infantry and the Tubo cavalry in front of him scuffling, and asked anxiously: "When the fog clears and the enemy rushes up, even if we all have three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to resist, what does Xianggong think, such a critical place, as long as 10,000 soldiers come!" ”
Zhang Sheng shouted with a calm face: "You have to be afraid, run away now, Xianggong asked me to hold on until the end of the day, the calculation must be decided, even if we are crushed, we must stick to the position in Huhuangzhou before dark!" ”
The deputy general is also a figure who has followed Zhang Sheng all the way from Dahongshan, and immediately said angrily: "I have followed Dutong for many years, when did I retreat?" It's just that Xianggong regarded a big war as child's play, and now the surprise attack has failed, and 10,000 people are trapped here, how can people believe that he is still the ten-step plan back then, but Zheng Xianggong is stable in every strategy? Such Zheng Xianggong, not only do we have no bottom in our hearts, but I am afraid that the Mongolians will see jokes! ”
"Zheng Yunming is no longer the dreaded fox!" When Zhang Shun's lieutenant complained, Meng Ge was sitting on the golden dragon chair under the golden dome and laughed at all the generals under the seat: "This time I will definitely capture Zheng Yunming alive for you to see!" ”
All the generals were puzzled, Han Bald was the highest-ranking general of the Mongol army from the Great Khan of Meng Ge to the Great Khan, and he was the only one who dared to ask loudly: "The previous Nanban was in the lower reaches of Shawozideng6, occupying Huama Lake, and Nu Phosphorus brought tens of thousands of excellent warriors to attack, and did not expel the enemy. The enemy landed on the Great Lake further south, and we sent 5,000 Khwarazm warriors who could use battle axes, but they did not win, and even lost a pontoon bridge in the north, and the sons of the north surrounded those southern barbarians and attacked, but they have not been able to defeat until now, and the Great Khan said that Zheng Yunming was useless at this time, why? ”
Meng Ge laughed and said: "It's rare to be bald, the people in the Central Plains all talk about the art of war, we Mongolians talk about the method of fighting, although there are no results in several battlefields today, but Zheng Yunming's method of using soldiers is no longer suitable, you must understand that he has few troops, we have many troops, if he wants to defeat us, unless it is a surprise attack, or simply concentrate the troops to defeat one of my first, and then carry out each defeat." I think his plot is to attack by surprise, and his heart is not small, if he climbs from Huama Lake 6, it is copying the back of our army, and intends to attack our army that is besieging Ezhou from behind, and the Song army that is besieging Ezhou from Huangzhou is to block the sons and daughters of Jiangbei from coming to reinforce. But our army's reaction was much faster than Zheng Yunming imagined, his three surprise attack troops, who had not really broken into our army's camp, were stopped by our powerful offensive, then, Zheng Yunming not only did not achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, but lost many soldiers in vain, not only was he not able to concentrate his troops, but scattered his troops in three different battlefields, and the main force did not have time to reinforce these three battlefields, he is now in a difficult position, retreat is also difficult, has lost the ability to take the initiative to respond, the only thing he can do now, It is to honestly strengthen the defense of Hanyang, wait for our army to conquer Ezhou, and then go down the river to fight a decisive battle with him, now, our top priority is to conquer Ezhou, and then concentrate all our forces to fight a big battle with Zheng Yunming, the dominance of this big battle is completely in our hands, and it is only a matter of time before Zheng Yunming is defeated! ”
He raised the wine glass with the ruby embedded in his hand and said loudly: "If Zheng Yunming fails and still refuses to submit to the Mongols, you will go and cut off his head and use it to replace this wine glass of mine!" ”
Using the skull of the enemy commander or the monarch as a drinking vessel, that is the ancient barbaric custom, but it is still a very popular fashion in the Western Regions and Mobei, the skull of the enemy general decorated with gold lacquer, inlaid with pearls and gems, used to drink and have fun when feasting, is indeed a kind of barbaric stimulation to boost morale and raise military might. Although his methods sound terrifying, they are quite in line with the style of these warriors who spend their days on the battlefield with skeletons as their companions.
Everyone in the audience responded in unison: "Take the Zheng Yunming level and make wine vessels for the Great Khan!" ”
Hao Jing stood aside, saw the murderous aura in the tent suddenly rising, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Immortal Heaven loves all things, and does not kill all life." The Great Khan came to the Southern Dynasty in order to hang the people and fight crimes, to live on the right path to defeat the ministers, and in addition to the war, the people of the Southern Dynasty should be compassionate and should not be killed. ”
Meng Ge waved his hand impatiently: "I naturally know that you Confucian students are always good mothers-in-law, and I don't know how Kublai Khan can endure you, whoever greets my army with flowers, the Mongols greet him with flowers, and whoever fights against my army will inevitably be greeted by ruin!" This is the principle of immortality, and it is also a Mongolian tradition! ”
He raised his glass high and shouted: "First capture Ezhou, and then bring all the blue sky into the rule of Mongolia!" ”
At this time, Zheng Yunming was standing on a reef by the Yangtze River, looking nervous as the white fog on the river dissipated little by little, once the white fog dissipated, the Mongolian army would launch the final general attack on Ezhou, which also announced that the core of the Jinghu area fell into the hands of the Mongolian army, and Jiangling will also be ripe, it can be said that the Song Dynasty poured all the country's strategic mobile forces to organize this rescue, will end in failure.
Bai Yijie stood behind Zheng Yunming, this strange man of the Southern Dynasty who had followed him for twenty years had always been heroic and upright, but at this time, I don't know why, his back was a little rickety, and he carried the whole country on one person for twenty years, this burden was too heavy, even Zheng Yunming finally had to give up.
But he must not give up, Bai Yijie said in his heart, he was originally just an idle cloud and wild crane in the border area, the twenty years of eunuch history not only accumulated merit and fame, but also made him see that building a new society is an extremely attractive job, the Great Song Dynasty that is transforming is not just Zheng Yunming's Great Song, but also Bai Yijie's Great Song, is every official, small official, soldier, farmer and sailor of the Great Song, is the Great Song of thousands of people including Nanyang, Goryeo, Yue and even Mongolia, although the situation is critical today, But Bai Yijie will never give up.
When necessary, he could even put the lord under house arrest with soldiers, and then set up Ma Guangzu as the commander along the river, and fight a decisive battle with the Mongol Khan without authorization, which is naturally a capital crime, and Bai Yijie was cautious in his life, and he did not think that a Song army that suddenly lost such a charismatic commander could defeat the Mongol heroes whose morale had reached its peak. But it's better to fight to the death than to wait for the end of the game without doing anything.
He silently stepped forward, ready to speak.
He suddenly felt a chill on his face, and then the cold raindrops fell on his shoulders again, and the rapid rainstorm seemed to come suddenly from the fog, pouring down from the clouds without any warning, like a waterfall, as if the heavens felt that the Great Song Dynasty at this time was not critical enough, and especially took half of the water from Dongting Lake and dumped it on the heads of the warring horses on both sides.
Bai Yijie was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this should be a good thing for the Song army, of course, the heavy rain will hinder the Mongol army's siege plan, which gives the Song army a chance to mobilize troops. At present, the most important thing is to withdraw the two armies of Huhuangzhou and Daye Lake, concentrate their forces to break through the Mongol encirclement from Huama Lake, and then open the blockade of Ezhou and fight the final decisive battle with the Mongols.
There was no longer time to hesitate, Bai Yijie shouted loudly: "Pass on the order of the Prime Minister, let our army in Huhuangzhou and Huamahu retreat, and the whole army will take shelter from the rain for the time being, which means that after the heavy rain is over, we will immediately go to reinforce Huamahu Handutong!" ”
"Who said to retreat!" Bai Yijie was surprised to hear Zheng Yunming, who had been silent on the rock for almost an hour, shout in a decisive tone that he had never seen before: "Now is the time to decide!" ”
He turned around, let the rain flow on his face, and shouted, "Take my Qingluo umbrella cover!" The army is assembled and ready to cross the river! ”
