"Don't stop! The enemy is coming! And your only chance of survival is to be able to march more than they do! The two generals shouted as if the enemy was about to attack in the next moment.

The crowd of onlookers erupted in laughter: "You can beat the Tartar by running back and forth like this, is this coaxing a child?" ”

Lu Xunzhi saw the main general of the Earth Dragon Army standing in an inconspicuous corner behind the crowd, smiling and listening to the noise of the crowd.

"Not everyone understands how helpful it is to have a good pair of feet to fight." Lu Xunzhi walked to Zheng Yunming's side: "But in the future, they will always understand that this will save their lives." ”

Zheng Yunming shook his head and said, "Now this level is far from being able to save themselves in the war, but it's a pity that the Mongols came too quickly,"

"What instructions does Xiangyang have?"

Lu Xunzhi said worriedly: "The situation is very bad, the Mongols are marching towards Xiangyang, and the periphery of Fancheng is already full of their sentinels, and some have crossed the Han River and infiltrated to the south of Xiangyang. Upstream on the Han River, it was seen that the Mongols had requisitioned a number of warships and wooden platoons, and they would begin to attack Xiangyang Province as soon as they were ready. Or bypass Xiangyang City and go down the Han River and take Gangneung directly. ”

"The commander's instruction is to let the Tulong Army assist in the defense of Gangneung, and everything is under the command of the deputy marshal."

Zheng Yunming thought about it in his heart and said: "The enemy can only take two roads, go south from Hanshui, or make a detour to Junzhou and Fangzhou, and enter Jiangling by land. There are a lot of rough places to go through by land, and this aspect is not very likely, if you take the water."

"What about Yang Luo and Wang Deng?" Lu Xunzhi asked, "Can you gather everyone together to discuss the next move?" ”

"Yang Luo went to Shatou City early in the morning." Zheng Yunming lowered his voice and said, "Go and make some preparations"

"Later, I will also send Chen Guang to Fangzhou, and I must be prepared for a war." Zheng Yunming said in a calm voice: "We are dealing with a strong enemy that has never been seen in ancient times, a little more preparation, and a little more hope of survival." ”

"This is something that must be done" Lu Xunzhi was about to continue, when he suddenly heard a voice exclaiming: "Tartar!" It's a tartar! ”

In the distance of the road, one man and one horse galloped in the direction of the camp. The visitor was dressed in a Mongolian robe, a feathered helmet, and carried a bow and arrows, which was typical of the Mongolian cavalry.

The crowd panicked and began to run to the camp without their lives, some people stepped on straw sandals in the crowd, some people were torn off their clothes, and some people lost their headscarves, and they were in a state of embarrassment.

"Kid!" Zheng Yunming saw a little girl being squeezed to the ground by the crowd, and before he could rush over to save her. The little lady of the Lai family had already flown forward with an arrow step, pushing away the two men who were about to step on the little girl. He picked up the girl with one hand.

Although the soldiers on the road were all armored and well-armed, they were at a loss one by one, and their faces were full of confusion and nervousness.

Zheng Yunming rushed over and took the girl in his hand, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing in a daze!" Formation! Archers get ready to release their arrows! ”

Peng Man pushed the palm flag forward: "Tie a horizontal formation against the enemy!" ”

Two hundred pikemen stood in several rows in a panic, their spears stabbing diagonally upward. The archer picks off his bow and arrows from behind and places them on his bow. In the confusion someone lost a bow, someone dropped a spear. Peng Man and Deng Fang's loud scolding had no effect at all.

Yue'er, the lady of the Lai family, took off the silver lacquer carved bow on her back and pulled out a phoenix tail arrow, looked at the distance, opened her bow and set up the arrow, and flew straight towards the Mongolian cavalry with a whoosh.

When the arrows were like shooting stars, and they were about to strike the knight, the rider collapsed, took the arrows with his left hand, and slammed the reins with his right hand, and the horses neighed loudly, and the man stood up.

The knight raised his feathered arrow high and shouted, "I haven't seen you for a long time, is this the arrow used to welcome me?" ”

When Zheng Yunming heard the voice, he suddenly remembered something, and shouted loudly: "Brother Qin Wu, is it you!" ”

The knight took off his helmet and shoes, revealing a heroic face, and sure enough, it was the heroic Qin Wu who he met on the way to office.

Zheng Yunming rushed forward, hugged Qin Wu, who had dismounted, and said happily: "You really came to Xiangyang!" ”

"The official owes me a drink, why don't I come and ask for it?" Qin Wu said with a smile: "I didn't expect that in just a few months, you will become a general with troops." ”

"It's just a coincidence." Zheng Yunming said: "Come, I'll introduce you to you!" So Qin Wu was introduced to everyone one by one.

The lady of the Lai family asked vigilantly: "Why did you come here wearing Mongolian clothes and armor?" ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you." Qin Wu said solemnly: "The Mongols have prepared their ships and are ready to bypass Xiangyang Mansion and go straight to Jiangling. ”

Zheng Yunming's face became solemn: "Sure enough, do you want to go straight to the heart?" ”

Qin Wu said: "On my way to Xiangyang, Yu Lu was all Tartar troops heading south. I had to hide my whereabouts all the way and hurry carefully. It wasn't until I accidentally photographed the Tartar sentry on the bank of the Hanshui River that I had no choice but to kill one person and take his armor horse, and then I found that he had a road map of the march from Hanshui to Gangneung. So he simply disguised himself as a Tartar cavalryman and smuggled to the south to inform the officials. ”

Qin Wu took out the map from his arms as he said and handed it to Zheng Yunming. Zheng Yunming took a closer look and found that although the painting method was clumsy, the army station, settlements and terrain along the way were marked in detail.

"It can't be!" Lu Xunzhi said in surprise: "There has never been a Tartar sentry in the hinterland of Jinghu, how did this information be mastered by the enemy?" ”

"It's a fine work." The lady of the Lai family gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "It's a Mongolian fine work ambushed in Jinghu." ”

"No matter what, the Tartars are going to be killed this way." Zheng Yunming raised his head and asked, "What does Lu Weng think we should do next?" ”

Lu Xunzhi smiled: "Since the chief manager has already sent Yang Luo to Shatou City, he must have made a plan in his chest, just do what you want in your heart." ”

Zheng Yunming nodded, turned around and shouted, "People are coming!" ”

One of the utilities ran briskly to listen to orders.

"The tooth keeper on duty, the drumming general, is about to issue a general order!"

The utility said yes, turned and ran briskly up the hill.

"Forgive me for not being able to entertain Brother Qin for drinking." Zheng Yunming said: "When Ben comes back from Shatou City, I will come back to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Brother Qin." ”

Qin Wu smiled heartily and said: "Then why don't you let me go to Shatou City together, drink wine while killing the Tartars with all my heart!" ”

==========================================

After the three drums, the nine generals of the Tulong Army, two commanders and one commander had already put on their helmets and armor, and stood respectfully in the hall of the government office.

"According to reliable intelligence," Zheng Yunming said loudly, "the Tartars are advancing by land and water to kill Benjiangling, and the vicinity of Jiangling Mansion has been fortified and cleared. Only the area around Shatou City is not defended by a wall, but hundreds of thousands of civilians still live here. In order to save their lives, I will lead 3,000 soldiers to Shatou City to garrison! ”

Everyone didn't dare to speak casually, but Zheng Yunming could see that many people did not approve of this order.

"If you have anything to say, just say it," Zheng Yunming said, "Don't hide it, you have to strictly follow the orders you can't understand, but I can listen to your opinions." ”

Zhu Sheng bowed his hand and said: "This time, the Mongolian army swept in with a large army, and the officers and troops were tight everywhere. Our battalion is not perfect, so what if the enemy attacks with a large force after the commander has taken 3,000 men? ”

"It is not very likely that the big battalion will be attacked by a large force of enemies." Zheng Yunming pointed to the topographic map behind him and said: "To the north of the camp is Xiangyang Mansion, where heavy troops are gathered, and it is difficult for the enemy to conquer it casually. To the west of the camp is the continuous Jing Mountain, from which it is difficult to make a detour to attack. And if the enemy had come by water from the east, the unsuspecting city of Sha Tau would have been a much more attractive target than the fortified camp of Lao Yashan. ”

"Even if the enemy chooses Lao Yashan as the target, it will not take much time to return from Shatou City. In the meantime, the garrison remaining in the wall should be enough to support us until we come back. ”

He Dajie also came out and said: "Shatou City faces the river on one side, and there is a wilderness on three sides, and there is no city wall to rely on. Isn't this sending you to death? ”

"Don't worry about the city wall, Commander Yang went to Shatou City to prepare for this matter," Zheng Yunming said, "Before the Mongols arrive, it is guaranteed that there will be enough fortifications to deal with it." ”

He is a general, and naturally no one dares to question what he said. Lu Xunzhi said: "The most taboo thing about defending the city is that there is little food and more people, hundreds of thousands of people are crammed into a market, even if the Mongols don't attack, the food won't last for a few days." ”

Zheng Yunming picked up an official document from the table and said: "This is a reply letter from Lord Bei Zhijie, the deputy envoy of Jinghu Manufacturing, I wrote to him about a month ago, asking the government to come forward to stop all the grain sold in Shatou City. Half of the grain obtained goes to Gangneung Province and half to Shatou City for storage. You know that Shatou City is one of the most important grain trading markets in Jingxiang, Jiangling, Ezhou, and Yidu. Grain from Zhijiang and other places must be bought and sold here, and now it is the harvest season again, and the amount of grain traded in Shatou City every day is not a small amount. According to Yang Commander's on-the-spot investigation, even if all the residents of Shatou City were besieged, the food would be able to last at least for more than a month. ”

Wang Deng asked, "How is the sequence of expeditions compiled?" ”

Zheng Yunming said to Wang Deng and Ge Huai: "The two of you will go with me on the expedition, and the land commander will guard the camp, and when we arrive in Shatou City, we will also send Yang Luo back to help defend it." The sequence of expeditions were: Zhu Sheng's forward battalion, Peng Man's general battalion, He Dajie's right wing battalion, Hu Yanyu's middle army battalion, Lu Anguo's enemy-breaking battalion, and the Beiwei battalion led by me. ”

"The others stayed in the old camp to assist the land commander in his strict defense, ready to meet the invading enemy."

Zheng Yunming glanced around at the generals in the hall and shouted, "Is there any other problem?" ”

Everyone bowed down and bowed, and said in unison: "Everything is ordered by the general!" ”

Zheng Yunming waved his hand: "Each of them led the soldiers in the battalion to gather in the school field, and after sacrificing to the martial god, they immediately sent troops to target Shatou City!" ”
