Chapter 360: An Inescapable Fate

Quanzhou.

"What did you say?

Looking at the messenger in front of him, Dong Wenbing suddenly felt nervous and asked in a low voice.

The envoy was also frightened, and hurriedly replied: "General Qiqi, now that the Huaxia army has moved south, and it has now surrounded Jiankang Mansion. The marshal asked me to come and tell you that you must control Quanzhou. ”

"What does this mean by controlling Quanzhou?" Dong Wenbing was a little dazed, and asked again.

Earlier, he thought that Boyan had asked this person to come here in the hope that he would be able to lead the army back so that he could rescue Jiankang Mansion from danger.

The messenger replied, "Literally." ”

"What about Jiankang Mansion? Just let the Huaxia army surround it?" Dong Wenbing continued to ask.

The messenger closed his head and replied, "That's right. The marshal said that if it is two or three years, the materials in the city of Jiankang Mansion can still be supported, and there is no need for the general's assistance. Only this Quanzhou must be in the hands of our army and must not be taken by others. ”

"Is that so?"

When Dong Wenbing heard this, he felt at a loss, and he couldn't figure out why Boyan asked him to do this.

It's just that he has always been loyal, and he also trusts Boyan, so he won't doubt Boyan's intentions, and immediately replied: "Please rest assured, Marshal, I will naturally deal with it." ”

"That's fine. ”

The envoy breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said goodbye to Dong Wenbing and left the place.

He also had to pass the news to Bo Yan, so that Bo Yan could settle down and go all out to deal with the confrontation of the Huaxia Army.

After the envoy left, Pu Shougeng walked in from outside the door, glanced at the envoy with some curiosity, and asked, "General Dong, I don't know what happened to make you so afraid?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just some rebels. ”

The corners of Dong Wenbing's mouth curled slightly, pretending to be full of confidence, what happened to the Yuan army of Jiankang Mansion can't be known to the other party, otherwise maybe the other party will fight back with some kind of ghost idea.

Seeing Pu Shougeng, Dong Wenbing asked: "It's just those rebels? Where are they hiding now?" Before he led his troops to come, although he relieved the danger of Quanzhou, but also let those rebels take the opportunity to escape, and they have not been found so far.

So Dong Wenbing asked Pu Shougeng to send people to search for these rebels, so as to completely eliminate them.

"Do you mean Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu?" Pu Shougeng replied angrily: "They, now they are hiding in Anxi." Thinking about the previous incident, Pu Shougeng felt annoyed, although he had wiped out all the Song Dynasty clansmen in the Southern Foreign Sect, several people had escaped.

After these people fled outside the city, they naturally told Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and others everything he had done.

When Wen Tianxiang and others learned of this, they were naturally furious, and directly led the army to break into the military port and rob all the merchant ships and materials in his hands, which can be said to be a heavy loss. It is precisely for this reason that Pu Shougeng wants to find out those guys, if he doesn't break them into thousands of pieces, it is really difficult to make him feel at ease.

"Anxi?"

Dong Wenbing's eyebrows furrowed, he is a person from the north, and he is not familiar with the geography of the south, if he wants to successfully exterminate the small court of the Southern Dynasty that is hiding, he has to rely on Pu Shougeng's help.

Pu Shougeng hurriedly said: "Lord Qiyu, I am very familiar with Na'an River. If you don't give up, why don't you let me lead you to exterminate those bandits?"

"In that case, then go ahead and prepare! Remember, tomorrow at sunrise, we will set off at once. We must destroy the rebels. ”

Dong Wenbing instructed, seeing that Pu Shougeng left here and went to prepare for this matter, he felt a little relieved.

According to Boyan's order, he must control Quanzhou, and these rebels will obviously have a variable in the next action, which is a big variable in the influence of the occupation, if so, it must be exterminated at this time.

That Pu Shougeng was also anxious, and before he could wait for dawn, he gathered the army and waited for Dong Wenbing's arrival.

Looking at the mighty and majestic soldiers, Dong Wenbing smiled softly, and the gloom in his heart seemed to be dispelled by the sun, and he immediately stepped on the war horse and said to everyone: "Let's go." ”

"Order!"

Everyone shouted in unison, followed behind Dong Wenbing, and ran towards Na'an Creek together.

Anxi is not far from Quanzhou, and it is only about 30 miles away, just because the road is tortuous, and after everyone comes to Anxi, it is already noon.

Riding on the war horse, Dong Wenbing looked at the terrain here, and his face suddenly showed a little melancholy.

Compared with the northern zone, the Anxi terrain is precipitous, and the northwest area is full of majestic mountains, among which there are many mountain peaks, and there is no lack of steep cliffs, probably because of rain erosion, and there are many narrow rivers among them, which converge to form Anxi. The southeast area is a little flat, but only relatively speaking, and there are still many peaks. It would be too difficult to search for enemies in the mountains.

With the topography, it's no wonder those people are hiding here.

And in Anxi, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and others, who were hiding here, also discovered the attacking Yuan army, and walked out of the houses one after another, looking at the soldiers on the mountain road in the distance with worry on their faces.

"I didn't expect these Tartars to find here?" Chen Yizhong's face was worried, and his legs began to tremble: "Since that's the case, then we might as well escape, right?"

Anxi is a good hiding place because of the dangerous terrain, but because of the broken terrain, the food produced in the land is too small, and at most it can only feed 30,000 or 40,000 people. Their arrival here has already had a serious impact on the peasants, and it is not known what will happen if there is a war.

Wen Tianxiang was immediately annoyed, glared at Chen Yizhong sideways, and complained, "Escape?

"Otherwise, you don't know, with the strength in our hands, we are not the opponent of the Yuan army at all. Chen Yizhong scolded back.

"It's all this time, and you two are still arguing?"

Lu Xiufu interjected, he was naturally quite clear about the grievances between the two, but in the current situation, it was useless to quarrel. Pointing to the Yuan army that started to act in the distance, Lu Xiufu reminded: "Don't forget, the Yuan army is about to start an operation, if we continue to quarrel here, then there is really no hope." ”

"Okay. ”

Chen Yizhong sighed, then looked at Lu Xiufu and said, "Remember, you must protect the official family and the Empress Dowager Yang, understand?"

"It's nature. ”

Lu Xiufu closed his head and replied.

"Then here we go. Wen Tianxiang bowed to Hideo Lu, then turned around and stepped out of the room.

Now it's just the past, and they don't have enough troops now, if they want to confront the Yuan army that is ready to go, they have to fight in person, otherwise they can't stop the attack of the Yuan army at all.

Watching the two leave, Lu Xiufu's heart was as worried as the yarn, and he couldn't find the thread at all: "Alas." Isn't this heaven really going to kill us?"

The sun is shining and the sky is clear, it is a good day to step into spring, and of course, it is also a good time for the army to attack. The field of vision is wide, the temperature is suitable, and the weapons in your hands will not be weakened by the weather.

As an excellent general, it is natural to choose this time to attack.

Naturally, the movements in Anxi were also quickly discovered by the Yuan army.

"Huh. At this time, you just launched a counterattack, don't you think it's too late?"

Standing on the top of the peak, Dong Wenbing overlooked the small village at the foot of the mountain, and on the outskirts of the small village, many soldiers were busy piling up large rocks, trying to construct a rudimentary position to resist the attack of the Yuan army.

They do look very hard, but in Dong Wenbing's eyes, this so-called position seems too simple.

Although there are many righteous troops gathered in Anxi, it is a pity that the experienced generals of the Song Dynasty have either surrendered or have been killed, and all that remains are some soldiers with blood and bravery.

mouth, after all, still can't convince the knife.

Even so, Dong Wenbing looked at the vast mountain range with some worries.

"Master Dong, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Dong Wenbing had not given an order for a long time, Pu Shougeng hurriedly asked.

He was afraid that Dong Wenbing would give up the attack because of the terrain here, which would make those rebels suspicious of becoming bigger.

Dong Wenbing shook his head and replied, "It's nothing." It's just that you've seen it, the terrain here is too steep, and if those rebels take advantage of the location to escape, what will we do?"

"This, please rest assured that Lord Dong. Pu Shougeng laughed sinisterly, and then said: "Regarding this Anxi, I have prepared early in the morning, and when the war starts, someone will naturally help me and others to wipe out these rebels." ”

"Do you mean a traitor?" Dong Wenbing thought thoughtfully.

Pu Shougeng closed his head and replied, "That's right. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, but he came with some mockery, and said: "Those scholars are also stupid, as soon as they arrived here, they forcibly occupied the local people's houses, and even robbed a lot of food. This kind of criminal police, how can you make those She people accept? Otherwise, how can I find their traces so quickly. ”

"So that's the case?" Dong Wenbing praised.

"So please rest assured, Lord Dong. This time, we will definitely wipe out those rebels completely, and we will not let them have any way to live. Pu Shougeng gritted his teeth and replied.

It can be seen that he really hates those rebels.

Dong Wenbing's expression was slightly condensed, and he immediately said: "Since this is the case, let's attack." ”

A cannon shot cut through the war.

With the sound of a desolate trumpet, many soldiers rushed towards the position together, the artillery tore the position apart, and the flying bullets took human lives, but it was only a moment of effort, which made the hearts of these gathered rebels feel terrified.

After all, they are just a rabble, and they have not received corresponding training, and when it comes to being familiar with firearms, they are naturally far inferior to the Yuan army.

The only thing that can be relied on may be the indomitable will, but how can this will be able to fight against firearms?
