Chapter 54: Dreams

In the depths of the night, the city of Chuzhou, an important town in Huaidong, was silent, the darkness shrouded everything, and the Chuzhou Prefecture Ya with scattered houses was pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers. In the backyard, the torches are blazing, and the female soldiers in armor are guarding in the courtyard, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and they are heavily guarded.

This is the Chuzhou Annex, which is the Chuzhou Annex, which is in Huainan, Shandong, Mongolia, and Li Quan, who led his troops south to attack the Song Dynasty, and his wife Yang Miaozhen sat in the rear and became the commander of Chuzhou City.

The luxurious and empty room is dark and unclear, and the owner of the room, Yang Miao, is really asleep. In the middle of the night, the weather is pleasant, and for Yang Miaozhen, who is busy with military affairs all day, this is a good time to rest.

In his sleep, he seemed to return to his youth, he followed his brother Yang An'er to fight against Jin, his brother fought fiercely with Jin Bing, fell into the water and died, and the rest was led by himself and his uncle Liu Quan, and turned to the north and south, born and died, until he met Li Quan in the East China Sea of Shandong.

At that time, Li Quancai was only in his twenties, handsome and strong, with a kind smile, as soon as he saw him, his heart jumped wildly, and he felt that he was his lifelong dependence. Becoming a husband and wife with him, participating in righteous deeds, and singing with his wife seems to be the best destination.

Li Quan surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and after occupying Qingzhou, he commanded his troops to be stationed in Chuzhou, while Li Quan was stationed in Qingzhou, looking at each other from afar. Chuzhou was an important town in the east of Huai in the Song Dynasty, and the envoys of Song Huaidong pacified and controlled the system in Chuzhou. There was friction between the two sides, thanks to which they maneuvered. However, the discord between his own department and the Song court was too deep, and Li Quan killed the important ministers of the Song court and Chuzhou, which finally made the two sides strangers.

Li Quan finally surrendered to the Mongol army, and she also had to lead her subordinates to break with the Song court.

Since then, she has felt as if nothing is going well, why did things turn out like this?

She felt so tired, as if something heavy was pressing on her, and she wanted to push it away but couldn't. She was out of breath, trying hard to wake up but couldn't......

Suddenly, the mountains shook for a while, and it seemed to be accompanied by bursts of thunder, Yang Miaozhen woke up from her dream and sat up suddenly.

At this time, she realized that she was already soaked, and her forehead and face were wet with sweat.

The thunder continued, making Yang Miaozhen ignorant, the thunder was so dense, was this about to change the sky?

"Entang, Entang, it's not good!"

The guard was knocking on the door outside, and his voice was very urgent.

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

Yang Miaozhen was shocked, she immediately got out of bed and put on her clothes.

"Entang, Song Jun has come in!"

The guard said urgently, his face full of panic, which made Yang Miao, who opened the door, really frightened and fainted.

The Song army has entered the city of Chuzhou?

How is this possible?

"What's the panic? Go upstairs! ”

Yang Miaozhen stabilized her mind, and before she had time to put on her armor, she picked up her spear and went straight to the side yard. There are tall buildings, and you can see the scene of the city.

On the middle tower, the west city is full of fire, and the light along the road moves from the west gate to the east, and it seems to go straight to the Chuzhou Prefecture in the center of the city.

On the west city wall, the firelight spread from the middle of the city wall to the south and north, and soon the entire west city wall was blazing, and the firelight turned and swam eastward from the north and south city walls respectively.

"Entang, it seems that the entire western city wall has been lost!"

The guard pointed to the western wall and exclaimed in surprise.

"Xia Gu, this dog thief! He should have been killed a long time ago! ”

Yang Miaozhen stared at the west city wall, her eyes painful.

Outside the city of Chuzhou, the three directions of the southeast and north are a flat river, there is no danger to defend, only the West Lake in the west can be relied on, so that the enemy army can not attack. Unexpectedly, Xia Gu, the defender of Xicheng, voted for Song like this.

Thousands of precautions, home thieves are difficult to prevent. The Song army entered the city, and everything was over.

"Entang, let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late! ”

The guard anxiously scrambled.

The Song army had taken control of the western city wall and was coming east from the north and south city walls. Once the four city walls were controlled by the Song army, it would be difficult to leave.

"We're gone, what if the general comes back?"

Yang Miao was really flustered and had lost her sense of proportion.

"The general has thousands of troops and horses, and his own sailor escorts. Let's take the young general away and leave a bloodline for the general! ”

The guard's reminder made Yang Miaozhen nod again and again.

"Quick! Bring the major general, and order the army to kill from the two city gates in the southeast, break through to the south, kill a bloody road, and meet the general! ”

Li Quan's three sons, two of whom were killed by the rebels Zhang Lin and Yan Tong during the last civil strife in Chuzhou. Now there is only one Li Pu left, and if he doesn't escape, the Li family will be doomed.

On the city wall, the sound of artillery and earth-shattering thunder explosions was deafening, and the Song army, after controlling the western city wall, began to extend to the north and south city walls. The walls are narrow and straight and impossible to dodge. The iron balls ran wildly on the city walls, and the iron pellets withered and decayed, and all the way to the wind and rain, all the bloody slaughter. After the Mongol army suffered heavy casualties, they desperately fled to the city.

The artillery of the Song army that entered the city did not stop, and the earth-shaking thunder was thrown wildly, and the Mongolian troops who were desperately blocking the attack were constantly disabled, even if they were hiding in hidden corners and courtyards, they were also killed and injured by the earth-shaking thunder, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, without mercy.

Since the advent of firearms, whether it is field warfare, siege warfare, or street fighting, the form of warfare has changed dramatically.

Pillars of smoke billowed out, explosions continued, screams everywhere, flesh and mutilated bodies everywhere, and the streets were filled with retreating Mongolian troops, leaving behind corpses and wounded people who swarmed out of the southeast gates and rushed into the dark night in the south.

Outside the southern city of Chuzhou, the Song army was blazing with fire, illuminating the surrounding wilderness as if it were day. The Song army was in full array, and the muzzles of the artillery were faint, pointing directly in the direction of the city gate.

In the great array of the Song army, Meng Hui, the commander of the Jinghu border army, looked at the south gate of the city gate in front of him, and countless Mongolian troops poured out, mixed with people and horses, messy, and everyone's faces were frightened.

Meng Hui's eyes were cold, but he was a little regretful.

The Mongolian army has been defeated, and at this time, the volley will definitely be able to kill and injure the opponent to the greatest extent.

But is this the ending he wants to see? Victory is not to mention, many of them are from poor backgrounds, and they are coerced and drifted away, and they can't help themselves.

In the matter of exterminating Li Quan, the emperor was even more hesitant, and even wrote a letter to Li Quan to persuade him to surrender, but was rejected by Li Quan, an arrogant maniac.

Once they have tasted the taste of those in power, who can give up easily?

Outside the city, the Song army was in flames, waiting for the battle, and the Mongolian troops who fled in a hurry were terrified, they were mixed in foot, chaotic, and shouting were chaotic.

More than 10,000 troops plus their families, and tens of thousands of Song people accompanied them, all of whom were coerced and could not help themselves. They crossed the drawbridge, and the people and the army were mixed.

"General, do you want to open fire?"

Wei Jinyu, the commander of the artillery battalion, asked dumbfoundedly.

"The artillery is aimed at the Mongolian cavalry, the archers are ready, and all those with sharp weapons and armor will be shot! Those who threaten the people will be killed! ”

Meng Hui had no choice but to choose indiscriminate shelling, and the anger in his heart was also burning.

Coercion and intimidation of the people as a shield is not as good as a beast. He was still a little hesitant, but at this moment, he instantly became cold-blooded.

On the battlefield, there is no mercy for women. Only with a few shots can these guys give up on coercing the people.

"Puffy Puff!"

The Song artillery outside the southern city opened fire at the same time, resounding through the dawn before the night. The solid iron ball roared wildly, roaring and smashing into the Mongolian cavalry in the ranks. The firelight was full of crackling fractures, terrifying screams, war horses fell to the ground and screamed, people and horses fell into the river one after another, and the sound of "poof" falling into the water was endless.

The artillery was fierce, the storm was raging, and the Mongolian cavalry and the people accompanying them were all killed and wounded. The Mongolian cavalry fought desperately, broke away from the people, and fled forward into the boundless night.

These Song troops were so ruthless that they even shot their own people, and the shields didn't work, so they could only flee in a hurry.

At this moment, most of them lost the courage to fight with the Song army.

The artillery of the Song army continued, and the Mongolian cavalry could only widen the distance between them, avoiding the Song army's large array far away, and fled to the southeast. On the way to escape, countless cavalry were knocked off their horses, and the field was full of corpses and wounded men.

The sky was slightly bright, and the Mongolian cavalry fled without a trace, but the Mongolian infantry fell into the encirclement of the Song army. Song Junyu fired arrows in unison, knocking down those Mongolian infantry one after another, and some civilians also became innocent victims, and the field was full of heart-rending cries.

Countless people were shot down, countless people were squeezed down, countless people were trampled by, and countless people were trampled to death. The cavalry of the Song army rushed into the rout crowd and divided them from each other. They slashed and stabbed with knives and spears, and fired salvos with bows and crossbows, each of which was dripping with blood, and when they encountered the Mongolian army that resisted in formation, they chiseled it with earth-shattering thunder. The defeated soldiers cried wolf and fled desperately, but the Song army gave up their lives to chase after them, mercilessly, wantonly slaughtered, blood stained the wasteland, and corpses were everywhere.

The sky was already bright, and the entire southeast of Chuzhou City was densely packed, and the mountains were all over the wilderness, full of fleeing Mongolian soldiers. Even if some of the routs resisted in formation, they were swallowed up by the Song army's cavalry onslaught and ferocious firearms.

The formation of the Mongol army was too open and scattered, and it was difficult to assemble into a formation, and it was surrounded and killed separately by the cavalry, pikemen, swordsmen and shield men of the Song army, and the entire wasteland fell into a madness of chasing and being hunted down.

"Don't kill! Surrendered! ”

"Spare your life! We are also Han Chinese! ”

Unable to endure the bloody slaughter of the other party, the Mongolian soldiers, who were murderous on weekdays, threw away their weapons one after another and began to kneel and beg for mercy.

"Coerce the people, be willing to be an eagle dog of the Mongolian army, you are also worthy of being a Han Chinese!"

"Abuse the people, burn and loot, damn it!"

The Song army was hard-hearted and unrelenting, and the soldiers were slashed and killed one by one covered in blood, and let out a terrible scream, which was particularly piercing in the early morning before dawn.

Looking at the tragic battle scene, Meng Heng frowned.

After seizing Chuzhou, Li Quanquan's back road has been cut off, and it is necessary to lay out in Huainan to completely remove Li Quanquan's cancer.

Yang Miaozhen lost her soul, mixed in the Mongolian cavalry, beating horses and galloping, and the bloody fighting scene behind her seemed to have nothing to do with her. There were constantly cavalry being knocked off her horse around her, and she was also indifferent, like a walking corpse. She was lucky enough to rush into the night, but there were only a hundred horses around her.

Everyone escaped from Baili Land and entered the Gaoyou Ground, and then stopped, everyone was tired and thirsty.

"Entang, what should I do?"

Yang Miaozhen's uncle Liu Quan handed over the water bag, but was gently pushed away by Yang Miaozhen, and she asked in despair:

"Uncle, is the young general still here?"

"Hui Entang, the young general is fine. Where are we going next? ”

Liu Quan couldn't help but ask again.

"Where else can you go? Go to Yangzhou and meet the general. ”

Yang Miao's answer was really weak. Without Chuzhou City, the back road has been cut off, and we can only hope to capture Yangzhou City.

"But the lost brother is coming to us from behind......"

"Leave some people to wait for them, and the rest will go to Yangzhou."

Yang Miaozhen was strong and made a decision categorically. These days have passed, and there has been no news from Yangzhou, which really worries her.

If Yangzhou is also defeated, it will be ......

Yang Miaozhen's heart couldn't help but crumple into a ball.

"Entang, look!"

Everyone ran for dozens of miles, and the guard suddenly reined in his horse, pointed ahead, and said loudly.

Yang Miaozhen and the others also reined in one after another, looking at the front of the smoke and dust together, and their hearts were full of surprise.

"This is a subordinate of Enfu, our own brother!"

The subordinate general Li Jun saw it really and shouted loudly.

Yang Miaozhen looked at the Mongolian army coming from afar, her expression was panicked, and she was like a lost dog, and her heart couldn't help but sink.

Li Quan's army that attacked Yangzhou, why is it like this? They're not going to lose too, are they?

If that's the case, then it's really a lack of skills, and there is no way to enter the ground.
