Chapter 444: Counter-Killing
"Zhang Han, you go to the camp of the Song army and persuade your uncle, now the Great Song Dynasty has nothing to do, if he is willing to return to my command, I will definitely show His Majesty his exploits, and the glory and wealth will not be said in the future. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Seeing that Wen Tianxiang was unwilling to cooperate, although Zhang Hongfan felt a little pity, he did not settle with him, but found another candidate to undertake the task of persuading Zhang Shijie.
Zhang Han is Zhang Shijie's nephew, but unfortunately the uncle and nephew have chosen different paths, and now Zhang Shijie is the privy deputy envoy in the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhang Han can only serve as a minor official under Zhang Hongfan, but Zhang Han does not have the slightest envy, because he knows that as long as Zhang Hongfan's army starts to attack tomorrow, then his uncle will have only a dead end.
"The last will obey." Zhang Han knew that Kublai Khan attached more importance to Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu and others, unlike Temujin, who only knew how to kill, Kublai Khan paid quite attention to the entrapment of the Han people, if Zhang Shijie surrendered, although it was unlikely that he would continue to lead the army, but high-ranking officials were still indispensable, Zhang Han also hoped that he could get this merit, so that he could enter Kublai Khan's field of vision, be promoted and make a fortune, so he took the risk to accept this order.
Accepting Zhang Hongfan's order, Zhang Han entered the camp of the Song army in a small boat, reported his identity and origin, and was soon brought to Zhang Shijie by the soldiers of the Song army, "The little nephew Zhang Han visited his uncle, and now his uncle is still in good health after not seeing him for many years, and the little nephew is deeply grateful. ”
"Get up." Zhang Shijie looked at his nephew who had not seen him for many years with a complicated expression, the two of them were the blood of close relatives, but now they were standing on both sides of the battlefield, it was really impermanent, maybe he guessed the origin of Zhang Han, Zhang Shijie did not reminisce about the past, but asked directly, "Anyway, what is the purpose of Zhang Hongfan letting you come?" ”
"Uncle, the general advises you to surrender as soon as possible, if you are willing to surrender, the general will definitely ......" Zhang Han was stunned, and then said Zhang Hongfan's advice before leaving.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Shijie, "If I want to surrender, why wait until today?" Perhaps remembering the time when he served under Zhang Rou in the past, Zhang Shijie sighed and said, "When Zhong Chou (Zhang Hongfan's character) was young, I also fought with him, but now the world is unpredictable, but now we are going to lead our own troops against each other. Go back and tell him that we'll see you on the battlefield then." ”
Zhang Han still had to be persuaded again, Zhang Shijie's tone suddenly became stern, "Don't talk any more nonsense, go back and convey my words to Zhang Hongfan, if you dare to come again next time, don't blame me for not thinking about my uncle and nephew!" ”
In desperation, Zhang Han had no choice but to return and convey Zhang Shijie's words to Zhang Hongfan, Zhang Hongfan sighed when he heard this, "Zhang Shijie is quite strategic, but it is a pity to die here." ”
Let Zhang Han retreat, Zhang Hongfan called his son Zhang Qi, and looked at the camp of the Song army from afar, about more than 2,000 ships were tightly connected by iron cables, like a city wall arching the palace on the shore, countless flags fluttering in the wind, at first glance it looked like the army was also mighty.
"I'm going to attack tomorrow, what do you think about this battle?" Zhang Hongfan perfectly inherited her father Zhang Rou's military talent and official position, and he hoped that Zhang Jue could be like himself, so he checked his preparations before the battle.
"At first glance, it seems that the Song army camp is extremely difficult to break, but in fact, it is not." Zhang Jue seemed confident, "Connecting the big ship with iron cables, this may be because Zhang Shijie is afraid that someone will escape from the battle, and the schoolwork has left us an opportunity." ”
Zhang Jue pointed to the flag fluttering in the wind on the bow of the ship and said, "At this time, the wind direction is blowing from our side to the side of the Song army, and when the time comes, we will attack the Song army with a fireboat, and we will definitely be able to break the iron lock ship of the Song army." At this time, although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has not yet been born, similar examples of battles are not uncommon in history.
Zhang Hongfan nodded slightly, quite satisfied with his answer, for the general must not know astronomy and geography, Zhang Qi can get along with the way to make a fuss about the wind direction He felt quite pleased, but his test was not so easy to pass, he then asked, "If the sea breeze stops tomorrow, how should we deal with it?" ”
Zhang Qi frowned and thought for a moment, and continued to reply, "Even if this is our advantage, our army can rely on the flexibility of the ship to find the flaws of the Song army, and attack from a distance with return artillery, and at the same time look for the flaws of the Song army, once the Song army is defeated somewhere, our army will immediately attack the Song army camp, the Song army has never dared to fight with our Dayuan army closely, if the war comes to this point, the Song army will not be far from collapse." ”
"It's good that you can think of that, but unfortunately there are many more that you haven't seen yet." Zhang Hongfan waited for a while, saw that Zhang Qi had no other opinions, and slowly shook his head, with the ability that Zhang Qi showed just now, it may be enough to be an ordinary general, but he definitely can't command an army all the way like himself.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain place in the Song army's camp, "Previously, Sun Anfu sneaked into Zhang Shijie's camp under the pretext of surrendering, and he has found out where the Song army's water source is, and tens of thousands of Song soldiers rely on it to replenish drinking water; Now that I have ordered General Li Heng to attack this place by land, once the water source falls into our hands, we can only besiege the Song army and wait for them to collapse on their own. ”
These words did not avoid Wen Tianxiang, Wen Tianxiang heard the words and hung his thoughts, Junshi (Lu Xiufu's words), Shijie, you two must not let Li Heng's treacherous plan succeed.
In the camp of the Song army, Zhang Shijie, who had just driven away Zhang Han, came to Lu Xiufu's tent, seeing that the decisive battle was imminent, although he also wanted to win, but with his knowledge, he already understood that the hope of the Song army winning this battle was very small, and some things still had to be prepared in advance, "Jun Shigong, if Zhang is unfortunate in this battle, I hope that Jun Shigong can escort His Majesty and the Queen Mother to break through and go to Zhancheng, where is Chen Yizhong, compared to being able to protect His Majesty." ”
"I'm not going to take a step back in this fight." Lu Xiufu raised his head suddenly, his eyes exuding an unprecedented brilliance of confidence.
"Jun is the truth!" Zhang Shijie thought that Lu Xiufu's stubborn temperament had been committed again, and he suddenly became anxious, "Right now, Zhang Hongfan's army is besieging us and others, the people in the army are panicking, and the situation is not optimistic. ”
"I will never lose this battle!" Lu Xiufu stood up suddenly, "Zhang Hongfan now regards us as a turtle in an urn, why don't I treat Zhang Hongfan like this?" In tomorrow's battle, my Great Song will be able to kill Zhang Hongfan! (To be continued.) )
