194 The Battle of Falling Horse City (Part I)
Chen Mo didn't speak, Yang Minggui did not do this authentically, if it was him, he would not feel comfortable.
But he has no choice, he is currently weak, so he can only be this "backer".
Although he was dissatisfied, Yang Minggui was not here, and Lu Yonggang could also see that Chen Mo was pushed out to block the knife.
Chen Mo is young, has great potential, and his future achievements are limitless, if he sprinkles all his anger on him, he will inevitably be hated, and there has been no bond between him and Chen Mo before, and there have been conflicts, so there is no need to be hated.
Thinking of this, Lu Yonggang took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Vice General Chen, don't take it to heart, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
Chen Mo smiled and didn't care.
"In this case, the war is urgent, and the Heavenly Master ordered me to wait until winter to take Yuzhou. Vice General Chen, you have been in Yuzhou for a long time, so let me tell you what you have learned so far. Lu Yonggang said.
"Does Lu Shuai have a map?" Chen Mo said.
Lu Yonggang raised his hand, and the henchman on the side took out a folded cloth from his arms at the same time and spread it out on the table.
Chen Mo approached and said: "We entered Yuzhou at the beginning of August, and the garrison of Quanyang County had already withdrawn, so we took Quanyang County very smoothly, and then went all the way deeper, without encountering the slightest resistance on the way......
It wasn't until we came to Shiling County that General Yuan was one step ahead of me, but I didn't expect to be ambushed here, and finally chased and killed by the Yuzhou army and died in Luoqing Mountain."
Chen Mo pointed to the location of Tianshui Town and said: "After receiving a request for help from Wang Kai and General Liu Fu, they were besieged by the Yuzhou army at Dongwei Bridge, and when I led the army to rush there, I collided with Xu Jie's troops in Tianshui Town, and after a bloody battle, I killed them."
But our department also suffered heavy casualties, so we could only retreat, and I don't know what happened after that, Wang Kai and Liu Fu have lost contact, and it seems that there is more luck than luck."
After speaking, Chen Mo also squeezed out two tears and said, "Then Liang Song is scheming, killing me and many other colleagues, and asking Lu Shuai to avenge them." ”
Seeing this, everyone's faces were slightly stunned, they didn't expect Chen Mo to be so young, and he was still a man who valued love and righteousness.
Song Niu stepped forward and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, and said, "This matter is on my old cow." ”
"Thank you Song Qushuai." Chen Mo arched his hand.
Lu Yonggang connected the route from Shiling County to Tianshui Town, and immediately frowned, and said: "This is a very typical first-line sky, such a good ambush place, how could Yang Qushuai be fooled?" ”
In his opinion, Yuan Youchun is a general under Yang Minggui, so the other party must have been an order from Yang Minggui when he went deep into Shiling County.
"I don't know this, I was cooperating with General Yuan at the time, and I didn't have a map in my hand, so I didn't know what the situation was." Chen Mo focuses on one that he shouldn't know, and even if he knows, he won't say it.
Lu Yougang drew a cross for this route, if you advance according to this route, you will have to fold as many people as you enter.
Afterwards, he stood in front of the map and talked about the advance route of the five armies and the deployment of defenses in various places.
Among them, Song Niu's army was placed in the vanguard position, and the reason why it was not Chen Mo's army that took the lead was not at all because of the fact that several party commanders saw his great potential, after all, whose life was not fate.
The main thing is that Chen Mo's army is too small, less than 5,000 people, including 3,000 prisoners, the variables are too great, Lu Yonggang does not dare to take risks.
Chen Mo's army was arranged by Lu Yonggang as an auxiliary soldier to help clean up the perimeter of the battlefield.
That is, the so-called miscellaneous.
It's hard and tired, the credit is not yet, after the city is broken, there is no distribution of resources, the only advantage is that the safety factor is high, and there is no need to fight with your life.
The main thing is distrust, although I don't have a grudge against you, but I can do without you.
However, Chen Mo is quite satisfied.
Moreover, in this war, Chen Mo no longer cooperated, but had to act completely in accordance with Lu Yonggang's orders, and he couldn't refuse.
After that, the details of the promotion were discussed in detail, and Chen Mo listened quietly and did not make a speech.
The discussion lasted for almost half an hour before it ended, and Lu Yonggang said with a straight face: "If you want to win this battle, I hope you will cooperate with Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai's ugly words will be said first, and Don't blame Ben Shuai for being merciless under the sword." ”
With that, he shook the sword at his waist.
"No."
Everyone was shocked, and they all responded, and immediately retreated from the military tent.
Lu Yonggang left Chen Mo alone.
Chen Mo arched his hand at Lu Yonggang: "Lu Shuai has something important to order the last general?" ”
Lu Yonggang shook his head with a smile, and said: "Vice General Chen, Yang Minggui is already yesterday's yellow flower, and his status in the heart of the Heavenly Master is not as good as before, there is no way out with him, it is better to switch to Ben Shuai's account, Ben Shuai can accept you as a righteous son, Yang Minggui can give it, Ben Shuai can give it, and if he can't give it, Ben Shuai can also give it." ”
The matter of accepting Yizi is not only very common in the Heavenly Master Army, but also extremely common in the entire Great Song Dynasty.
And this is not an insult, on the contrary, it is a kind of attention for the general public.
The meaning of the expression is to treat you as you would like your own son.
But Chen Mo is clearly not a member of this general public.
Hearing this, Chen Mo only felt a twitch in his heart, and even thought of what Lu Bu said when he recognized Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law.
Of course, Chen Mo did not refuse directly, but pretended to hesitate, and then declined politely.
Lu Yonggang was not dissatisfied, and said that this has always worked, as long as Chen Mo thinks clearly, he can go to him.
"Thank you Lu Shuai for your kindness." After that, Chen Mo also withdrew from the account.
On October 23, after two days of continuous sunshine, seeing that the mountain roads were no longer muddy, the troops of the Five Directions began to advance into the hinterland of Yuzhou.
Outside the hinterland, there are no officers and soldiers to resist at all.
At the end of October, the Five Directions Army reached Tianshui Town.
However, the next step is not to go to Yangcheng like Yuan Youchun, but to bypass the danger of the mountains and go to the Falling Horse City.
Tianshui Town was heavily defended to prevent the enemy from cutting off its rear route.
……
Scouts, the equivalent of scouts in ancient times, are generally served by sergeants who are agile.
In the Yuzhou Army, those who can serve as scouts are all warriors.
With such a large-scale advance of the five-party army, how could Liang Song not receive the news.
In the hinterland of Yuzhou in Falling Horse City, even when Liang Song lured the enemy deep before, he did not let go of Falling Horse City, but let Xu Jie be in charge of defense.
Now, the Yuzhou army has wiped out several thief armies in the hinterland, and captured more than 20,000 thief troops, and the strength has skyrocketed, and Liang Song has no reason to let go of Falling Horse City.
Directly take the main force and go to the Falling Horse City to support.
And the innate division arrived in the city of Falling Horse on two days, and the next day, a large amount of grain and grass was transported from the rear, and there was no shortage of people coming and going, which was the people who were responsible for assisting.
On the top of the city, the Yuzhou army routinely observed, and the rolling wood and stones, fire oil, and gold juice were also fully prepared, which had the meaning of a decisive battle.
……
Time passed little by little, and the brilliant golden crow rose to the sky.
Dozens of miles outside the Falling Horse City, there are countless Heavenly Master troops marching towards the Falling Horse City, winding for more than ten miles, unable to see the head at a glance, like the black dragon of a giant dragon.
The spirit of the Heavenly Master Army marching on the official road is 100 times higher and the morale is high.
Before they moved from the main battlefield of Fengzhou to Yuzhou, they had not suffered defeat, so all they could think of now was the excitement and excitement of attacking and plundering in the Fallen Horse City.
The scout saw this scene early and hurried back to tell him.
In the city of falling horses, the camp of the Yuzhou army stretched for several miles, and the city wall was temporarily strengthened and heightened, and a group of archers of the Yuzhou army stood on the high wall and waited.
There is a huge Qingmu military tent in the city, the Xuanbao cavalry outside the tent stands in a forest, does not relax, the big Song military flag is erected in front of the tent, here is the big tent of Liang Song.
Liang Song stood in front of the table in the big tent, looked at the map in front of him, and arranged troops on the map.
Shi Meng, the captain of the pro-military camp, and Qin Lang, the general, stood on the left and right.
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a scout hurriedly walked in, and then knelt on one knee with a loud voice:
"Report, thirty miles away, a large number of Heavenly Master thieves were found, and they were approaching Falling Horse City."
Liang Song didn't reply, and Shi Meng said, "Explore again." ”
A quarter of an hour later, another scout hurried into the tent:
"Report, a large number of Heavenly Master thieves appeared twenty miles outside the city of our army, estimated at about 50,000 horses."
"Revisit." Seeing that Liang Song didn't speak, Shi Meng continued.
This time, less than a quarter of an hour, the scout, who had been called out to probe again, ran in:
"Report, the Heavenly Master Thief is less than ten miles away from our army."
At this time, Liang Song finally spoke, pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted in a deep voice: "Although our army has lost, it has won successive battles, captured tens of thousands of enemies, the morale of the army is strong, and tens of thousands of people are helping each other, this is human."
Falling Horse City is surrounded by mountains on both sides, this is the geographical advantage, and there is still a month or so to enter the winter, this is the time of the day. The time and place are favorable, and the thieves are coming from afar, and they are tired, and they are doing their best, and this battle will be won. ”
"Out of the army!"
"No."
……
Liang Song did not defend the city, but actually went out of the city directly, the Yuzhou army camp was suddenly full of people, and then the camp door was wide open, and the soldiers of the Tianshi Army who were captured by Liang Song and them before naturally bore the brunt and were driven to the front by Liang Song.
This group of captives, after being absorbed by Liang Song, did not wear armor, and this time out of the city, Liang Song only issued them weapons to kill the enemy, not even a shield.
Then, after every five rows of prisoners, stood a platoon of well-armed Yuzhou troops, dressed in iron armor and armed with round shields and broadswords.
"Knock Knock"
On the top of the city, Liang Song personally beat the war drums for them.
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
The drums sounded, and countless Yuzhou soldiers in the city and under the city had already raised their spears and broadswords in their hands, and responded to Liang Song feverishly.
After Yuan Youchun and other troops entered Yuzhou before, the crimes committed in various parts of Yuzhou caused public anger, and they knew the consequences after defeat, and they could only move forward.
"Kill!"
Standing in the first row was also the Yuzhou army, but it was a dead soldier arranged by Liang Song.
"Kill!"
"Rush, !!"
