Chapter 44: Danger Comes from the West

readx;.

Yun Zheng looked at the western wasteland vigilantly, an overwhelming cold aura came from that direction, making the hairs on his whole body seem to stand up, just when he was about to send the tiger and leopard to the west to see what was there, Chen Lin put on a military uniform, rode a war horse and went to the west. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He walked very quickly, even a little flustered, with a look of uncertainty flashing in his eyes, and the army that was fighting fiercely in front of him did not seem to arouse his interest in the slightest.

This is very different from Chen Lin in the past.

Seeing Chen Lin disappear on the horizon, Yun Zheng's hand waved slightly, and the tiger and leopard galloped towards the west with a team of ten people.

After standing in place and being silent for a moment, Yun Zheng turned his horse's head and went to Tongtou Pass, where his subordinates were fighting bravely, and he, the commander, could not leave easily.

Plain warfare may not be the strength of the Song army, and siege warfare is so much that they can show a rare elegance of an ancient army when attacking Tongtou Pass.

Tongtou Pass is backed by Jiming Mountain, firmly guarding the throat of Nanjing Road to Xijing Road to Aiyang River, after the Yanghe River slowly flows out of Broken Cloud Ridge, it becomes extremely turbulent, roaring and flowing under Tongtou Pass.

At this time, it was early summer, the Yanghe River was turbulent, in order to make the Song army's artillery useless, Yelu Yixin cleverly dug up the Yanghe River, and the river was covered with Aiyang River, effectively creating a moat between the Song army and Tongtou Pass.

Artillery shells could not reach the city. Yelu Yixin believed that as long as the artillery could not reach the city, the war could only be carried out according to the old model, even if the Song army had gunpowder shells to help, as long as the Song army was not allowed to reach the city wall.

After Lang Tan swept away the remnants of the Liao army in front of Tongtou Pass, he stationed at the edge of the Yanghe River. Looking at Tongtouguan in the distance, he smiled at the deputy general Ge Tianfang and said, "Doesn't Yelu Yixin know that the predecessor of my Jingxi Army was a training army?" ”

Ge Tianfang laughed and agreed: "The carpenter's craftsmanship of the last general has not been lost so far, and with only a few hard bridges, we can reach Tongtou Pass." ”

Lang Tan nodded and said, "The flood hindered us from entering Tongtou Pass, and the same Liao army was also trapped by the flood and lost the benefit of the cavalry.

There are many city passes built by the water on the back of my Great Song Dynasty, and I am afraid that there are many ways to deal with him in the countermeasures of the Ministry of War.

Ge Tianfang. The order goes down, rests today, and begins to cut down trees and build bridges tomorrow. ”

When Yun Zheng and Wen Yanbo arrived on the bank of the Yanghe River, the forward battalion of the Song army had already begun to camp in front of the water and build a water village. And all done in an orderly manner.

After Wen Yanbo glanced at the terrain of Tongtou Pass, he looked up to the sky and laughed, such a city pass in front of him was extremely familiar to him, back then, when Nong Zhigao caused chaos in Lingnan, the soldiers had already pointed directly at Yueyang, and the Tokyo officials were anxious like ants on a hot pot, and they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, and simply went to Yueyang. Instead of expecting someone else, you should do it yourself!

For more than a year, Yueyang City has been repaired by itself to be indestructible, how can Daze in front of Yueyang City be comparable to the small Yanghe in front of him. Yelu Yixin is really not enough in front of himself, a master builder of the city.

Yun Zheng smiled: "Gong Wen has already made a conclusion in his chest? ”

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "The old man likes siege battles the most!" ”

"The city has always been a place where soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, Duke Wen wants to attack the city, but he can't fill it with the lives of the soldiers under Yun's command!"

"If it was before, it would have been inevitable to be killed and injured in the capture of Jiancheng, but now the excellent armament of my Great Song Dynasty is the best in the world, and the equipment in the Jingxi Army is the crown of the entire army of our Great Song Dynasty. With the help of firearms, if I can still make my army suffer heavy casualties, Wen will not boast about Haikou. ”

Yun Zheng looked at the situation in front of him again. Pointing to the upper reaches of the Yanghe River: "Broken Cloud Ridge needs to prevent the Liao people from storing water!" ”

Wen Yanbo snorted and said: "The Liao people are barbarians, and they have only learned to wear silk clothes for a few years." wanted to use fire and water in front of the old man, Yunhou couldn't help but look down on them. ”

Yun Zheng laughed loudly and said: "Since this is the case, the forward battalion will be entrusted to Duke Wen, and Yun Mou will press the formation in the rear, waiting to ask for credit for Duke Wen." ”

Wen Yanbo bowed down and agreed, which was regarded as accepting the military order, and as soon as he received the military order, he immediately went to Lang Tan of the forward battalion and Li Dongchu to discuss how to attack the city.

After Yun Zheng inspected the forward camp, he left the Yanghe River under the escort of Han Niu and returned to the Chinese army camp.

Yun Zheng saw that his subordinates were driving wooden stakes into the ground, so he no longer commented on Wang Anshi's overly cautious approach, and after returning to the handsome tent, he took off his armor, and saw that Su Xun was the only one in a handsome tent in Nuoda, so he asked strangely: "Why are you the only one?" ”

Su Xun raised his head from the desk and looked at Yun Zheng and said: "Your heart has been beating in the past few days, which has caused everyone in the army to be very nervous, as long as there is the slightest bit of leisure, those staff officers and staff will go to the field to investigate the military affairs they are responsible for, at this moment, who dares to slack off in the slightest?"

How? Seeing that you are in a good mood today, has that feeling of palpitations disappeared? ”

Yun Zheng took a sip of the teapot and said with a smile: "It didn't disappear, but it became more and more urgent, but I already know where the threat comes from." ”

Su Xun asked hurriedly, "Where are you from?" ”

Yun Zheng pointed to the west and said, "Due west!" ”

Su Xun let out a long breath and said: "That's good, as long as we can determine where the threat comes from, we can prepare early and be prepared to meet the crisis, and the crisis will not be a crisis, it is just an ordinary battle."

Since its formation, our Jingxi Army has gone through a hundred battles without being defeated, and it doesn't matter if there is one more. ”

Yun Zheng said with a smile: "What Mr. said is that the crisis that cannot be seen or touched is naturally creepy, but the threat that can be seen and touched, who have we been afraid of?"

The former army entrusted Wen Yanbo, I will have a good rest tonight, and I will know where the crisis comes from tomorrow at the latest, and then we will have a good fight against him. ”

After Chen Lin left the barracks, he changed his calmness just now, urging his guards to hurry quickly, without thinking about whether his body could withstand it.

He was very sure that Yun Zheng had discovered where his threat came from, and as long as he looked at the West intently, he knew that he had already thought of inquiring.

For Yun Zheng's terrifying prophetic prescience, Chen Lin's scalp was a little numb, if Yun Zheng found Lan Lan in front of him, he didn't know what would happen, at least, Yun Zheng let Lan Lan and those elite recruits who guarded her disappear, it was nothing at all, the tigers and leopards in the youth army were the ones who specialized in doing this kind of dirty work, Chen Lin could even feel that Yun Zheng still had a secret force in the army serving him.

Far from being a loose united army as he thought, such an army could not do the act of expeditioning thousands of miles, only a seemingly loose army, but in fact able to twist into a rope of unity of the army can penetrate deep into the Peerless Territory and survive a hundred battles.

During this time, whether it was himself, Wang Anshi, or Wen Yanbo, they all felt that they were just a few guests in this army, and although those generals were respectful to themselves, there was a trace of politeness in this respect.

If their power is not from Yun Zheng but from the emperor, Chen Lin doesn't dare to think about what kind of experience he will have in the army, you must know that Yun Zheng is a person who has a history of killing the prison envoy.

In the early hours of this morning, he received the emperor's secret decree on his deathbed, and he never closed his eyes again, he didn't understand why the emperor, who was the son of heaven, humiliated himself like this, you must know that this kind of humiliation, even a folk farmer can break his head.

The Great Song Dynasty was very tolerant of widows remarrying, Liu E of the Zhenzong Dynasty was a remarried woman herself, or a remarried woman who married into the imperial city with her daughter, and finally Liu E was able to take charge of the Great Song Dynasty regime for eleven years, which can be called an unprecedented thing.

However, this is the royal family marrying someone else's wife, since ancient times, no emperor has been fortunate to have been in the past, and gave birth to a prince, and the prince has ascended the throne as the emperor's queen mother to his courtiers as concubines.

This is not in line with etiquette, and it is not in line with human morality.

Chen Lin repeatedly confirmed the emperor's secret detention, this secret detainment has never even seen Zou Tong, it is controlled by the two elderly eunuchs of the Daqing Palace, and there are no more than five people who know the existence of this secret detention in the Great Song Dynasty, and the prime minister Pang Ji is definitely not one of these five people.

Since it was an order issued by the emperor himself, Chen Lin had no possibility of resisting, after learning that Concubine Shu, who is now Mrs. Lan, was already less than a hundred miles away from Tongtou Pass, no matter what, Chen Lin should go to answer and figure out what was going on in the middle, Chen Lin was just praying at this time, Mrs. Lan's arrival was tens of millions, and it must not be involved in the great cause of the Northern Expedition that was going on smoothly.

In the place where Chen Lin could not see, tigers, leopards and monkeys were galloping wildly in the dense green grass, and soon they overtook Chen Lin who was hurrying, and quickly advanced due west to search, at the same time, in a farther place, one hundred and ten scattered horsemen also gradually searched and advanced from the northeast and west directions in the shape of stragglers on the land.

The monkey's heart is like frying oil, since the young master attaches so much importance to this operation, he has to find out where the young master's crisis came from before Chen Lin anyway, since it must be a big crisis that can make people like the young master feel frightened.
