The night is as dark as ink, a lightning bolt fell from the sky, and the dazzling white light teared the sky, reflecting a lonely figure in the heavy rain
Liu Yisun held his waist tightly, and the raindrops as big as soybeans hit the iron armor, splashing out a cloud of mist. The wind storms the rainstorm swept across the plains, like thousands of horses galloping, adding to the power of night rain. But Liu Yisun knew that it was not late at night. Just half an hour ago, the day was still in the sky. The day was then filled with strong winds, and dark clouds covered the sun. The day and night were almost completed in an instant.
It seems that the rain in the spring was concentrated in this short time and space, pouring water on it on its body like a splash of water, and there was also a military subordinate behind him, each of them was waiting in vain, waiting for the order to retreat, or the appearance of the enemy.
Spring rain is as precious as oil. Zhang Kang said that he didn't even hang his armor, only wore a straw raincoat and a hat, with a relaxed expression
Liu Yisun loosened his palms a little, and he forced a smile: You are relaxed, and you are still thinking about spring farming.
Zhang Kang helped out with his hat and had already withdrawn his troops, so why not relax?
Liu Yisun's chest was undulating for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said: We are the one behind the rear! I said that it was an army with five commands, with only 60% of the actual troops, less than 1,500 people! This is the most complete army to support the Japanese left wing! How many bandits are there in the city? The remnants of Xingyue Lake Camp alone are no less than 1,550! The Tiger Wing Army withdrew, Jingsai Army withdrew, and the Dragon Guard Army withdrew! No one of the more than 100,000 troops would be willing to stay in this ghost place for another day! But you were scrambling to cut off the rear in front of Xia Shuai! Brother Zhang, there is really no need to rob! No matter what happened to cut off the rear, you will compete with you.
Faced with Liu Yisun's anger, Zhang Kang looked calm and touched his cheek and said: Could the general not want the military merits of the broken rear?
Don’t want it! Liu Yisun pointed to the empty Jinming Village camp behind him and said in a fury: No one of my subordinates wants! We just want to go back alive! As long as we walk with the Youxiang Army for a day earlier, we don’t have to be trapped here by this heavy rain!
The army of the right wing of the Pangri? They were still carrying baggage. Zhang Kang sighed, "I don't have the strength to push the cart to climb Lieshan."
Where is life? Liu Yisun lowered his voice and said: Do you think you can block the enemy's attack? They can defeat us with just one charge! Even if there is a wall of villages, it cannot be stopped!
Zhang Kang put down his hand and said disappointedly: It turns out that the general is also a person who is afraid of death.
I am not afraid of death! Liu Yisun was angry and roared: I just don’t want to die in vain! I have more than a thousand men to take care of! I also want to take revenge!
Only then will we break the rear! A flash of lightning flashed past, reflecting the sharp light in the center of Zhang Kang's eyes. Can you escape with the baggage? Leave the baggage and flee privately. Aren't you afraid of beheading?
Zhang Kang pointed at Jiangzhou City in the heavy rain. You and I know that our remnant army is vulnerable. Don’t they know? What are the benefits of defeating our remnant army? Do they need the military merits of beheading? The general is wrong! All they want is the same: baggage and supplies!
The most dangerous thing is not us, but the Pengri Youxiang Army who retreated in advance with their supplies! Did you see this heavy rain? This is the signal of their attack. It is still noon, but it is as dark as ink. Where is the heavy rain covering the sky? Jiangzhou is surrounded by plains, and now it is spring. The soil is thawing. They use this rain again, and the road is so muddy that even horses can't get through!
If this rain is one day earlier, I, Zhang Kang, run away immediately. You don’t want to die in vain. Do I want to die? The rain has just fallen, which means that the bandits have bypassed us and chased the right army of the Pengri with their baggage!
Liu Yisun looked at him in shock and said: All the equipment that could not be taken away was left in the camp. In order to avoid alarming the bandits, the military order asked us to burn it out with a fire when we retreated. Now it was raining so heavily, and it was too late to burn anything. This group of bandits was really careful. A rain left at least half of the baggage, and it also trapped all the troops around dozens of miles. They fled, could not escape, and could not be saved!
The bandits have bypassed us? Liu Yisun said in disbelief: But it's so heavy rain...
Wouldn't they go to the place first and then rain? Besides, they have any methods to march in the rain. Zhang Kang said: There is a strong city in front and a bandit behind, so we only have one road left.
There are strong enemies in front and behind, and this sudden heavy rain, let alone there is no way to go, there is a way. If the soldiers leave the barracks, they are afraid that most of them will be lost after walking for a few miles. Liu Yisun said: Where is there still a way?
Dajiang Zhang Kang said: There is nothing else in the camp now, but there are some woods. I have already made fifty wooden rafts. Fortunately, there are many people in the shortage of staff, so it is more than enough to have these wooden rafts.
Liu Yisun was shocked, "You want to cross the river? That's Ningzhou!"
Crossing the river is seeking death. Zhang Kang said: We go down the river
Liu Yisun could no longer speak, there was only one way to withdraw his troops, that is, go west, cross the fierce mountains and down the river, and it would only be further and further away from the Song State.
The waterway downstream is Zhaonan. Zhang Kangdao: This way is along the way, you can reach Kunwu in two days. Go from Kunwu to the west, reach Jingxi in three days, turn north, and we will reach Yunzhou in three days.
Yunzhou! Liu Yisun certainly knew this prefecture located in the westernmost part of the Song Dynasty
Zhang Kang nodded, don't forget, I've been to Zhaonan
More than a month ago, Zhang Kang sneaked into Zhaonan with his soldiers from all over the city. Even Liu Yisun didn't know how much money he had robbed, but the one he left for himself was already rich enough.
Liu Yisun was stunned for a while, and then said: It takes nine days on the road, eight of which are in Zhaonan. We are not one or two people, but a whole army. What's more, have you been there again, can you still go to Zhaonan?
Therefore, if you want to change your clothes, you cannot use the banner of Da Song.
You snatched Zhaonan's military warehouse? A strong wind blew over, and Liu Yisun suddenly sipped the rain, coughed a few times before saying: Can we hide it from the people of Zhaonan just pretending to be Zhaonan?
Zhang Kang glanced at him and spit out two words, Han Jun
Under Liu Yisun's shocked gaze, Zhang Kang drew a thread on the rainy ground with a scabbard: Everyone knows that the lower reaches of the river is Zhaonan, but they often forget that Hepu County where the river enters the sea is the land of the Han Kingdom. He pointed at the end of the line representing the river, and thousands of Han troops stationed in the county
Liu Yisun remembered that when Emperor Wu of Han dominated the Six Dynasties, he set up county garrisons in four places in the southeast, west and north. Wherever the Han army arrived, the southernmost point was Hepu County.
I met the Han army in Zhaonan. Zhang Kang whispered: Zhao Tuo, the governor of Hepu County, has lived in the south for a long time. He heard that our Song army attacked the remnants of Yue Pengju, appointed by the emperor, was interested in sending troops to compete for a contribution, so that he could return to the capital Luoyang. Now the Han envoys have most of the Han envoys have arrived in Lin'an. As long as your majesty nods, the Han army in Hepu County will go north in a few days and join our army at the city of Jiangzhou.
Liu Yisun was frightened when he heard this. It was fine if the military minister made friends with foreign generals in his private identity. He conspired with military affairs in private. In any dynasty, he was a serious crime. At the least, he was beheaded, and at the worst, he could destroy the clan. Even Xia Yonghe did something that Zhang Kang did not dare to do. He knew that Zhang Kang was very brave, but he did not expect that he was so bold.
Zhang Kang shook his straw raincoat. Now that His Majesty has issued an edict to withdraw his troops, the governor of Zhao County can only wait for other opportunities to make meritorious contributions. However, according to the alliance that year, the Han army had the privilege of passing through the Six Dynasties. As long as we change the Han army's clothing and armor flag, we can return to Yunzhou safely. Zhang Kang grinned in pain. One thousand five hundred sets, all of the old military uniforms made by the Han army were enough for me to bleed.
Liu Yisun finally tried hard: We are the rear guard. If we leave our posts without permission, even if we can return to Yunzhou, it will be a death sentence.
Zhang Kang turned his head and looked at the rain behind him, and then said: The victory and defeat have been decided. This battle tonight will definitely be the biggest defeat in the Song Dynasty in decades. If we are judged according to military law, there will be hundreds of people who should be beheaded. If we can return from the entire army among the bandits, the court will be happy and not be too late.
Zhang Kang didn't say anything more. The two stared for a long time. Liu Yisun took off his helmet and shook the rainwater on it hard. He gritted his teeth and said: The rain is about to stop and he won't leave now, so he doesn't have to leave anymore!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
On the plain west of Lieshan, a long line of troops that could not see the beginning and end were trekking hard in the heavy rain. The torches lit when the dark clouds first rose had already been extinguished by heavy rain. The soldiers could only grop in the darkness in wet armor. The lightning that cut through the sky from time to time reflected their faces that were tired and fearful.
The spring rain also has the coldness of winter. When the cuffs of the water are in, it will make your wrists numb. Shi Yuansun holds the horse whip, but the chill in his heart is even worse than this sudden heavy rain.
Jinming Village is more than 100 miles away from Lieshan, which is a two-day journey by standard. However, in order to meet with the Central Army as soon as possible, Shi Yuansun only allowed the soldiers to rest for two hours last night. The right wing army of the right wing army was carrying a large amount of baggage. It was not easy to walk, but the soldiers wanted to leave Jiangzhou early and everyone was competing for the first place. Who would have encountered this heavy rain.
The road trampled by countless people was as muddy as a mud. When you step down, the mud was almost gone and the mud was thrown into the mud. However, no sergeant stopped to pick up a pair of shoes that he had finally changed. After walking a few steps, he would be stuck by the mud-like road like a suction cup. If it was not stuck, it means you had to move forward with a pair of shoes covered with mud, each of which seemed to weigh hundreds of pounds.
The soldiers pushing the cart were already exhausted and couldn't even yell. They had no strength to yell. They could only bury their heads and push the cart that was dozens of times heavier than usual suddenly, and the wheels slipped. A cart fell into a mud pit about a foot deep. The vehicle full of armor tilted over, blocking the advance team.
Two cavalrymen came to the ground with water, shaking the wet flag and shouting: General has an order! You must rush to Lieshan camp today! You must not rest along the way! Those who stay on their own will! Staff! Those who hesitate and fail to enter! Those who block the road! Those who block the road!
The mud and water splashed on their bodies, and the soldiers did not even show their angry eyes. They just unloaded the armor on the car, threw it into the mud, and overturned the cart to the side.
Since receiving the order to withdraw the troops, the Song army has had several quarrels over how to withdraw the troops and finally attended the meeting with injuries, with Xia Yonghe's support, and decided to withdraw the almost disabled tiger wings under the city of Jiangzhou, return to the sacred and the quiet army.
For a weak soldier with low morale, the risk of retreat is even higher than the war between the two armies. In order to prevent being discovered by bandits in the city, the Song army's retreat measures were extremely secret, and a large amount of supplies were left to the end. The relatively complete personnel of the Pangri Right-Electric Army was responsible for the task of escorting the rear, and handed over to Liu Yisun Jun, who took the initiative to stand out.
Zhang Kang's guess is not completely accurate. In fact, in addition to their 10th Army in the left wing of the Dragon Guard, there is another army: Qin Han's selection camp.
The Selected Front Battalion fought hard for several days, and the losses were no less than other friendly troops. In order to ensure the mobility of this entire cavalry, Xia Yonghe mobilized almost all the horses in the army that could still be drawn, so that the Pengri Right-Carri Army, who escorted the baggage, could not even get enough horses to pull the cart.
This is not the first time that the Song army was defeated in retreat. Apart from Liu Yisun, who recommended himself, was the only elected camp that could face the enemy head-on with the bandits. Xia Yonghe also spared no effort to build a small city at the foot of Lieshan Mountain, leaving behind Wang Xin and Zhong Shiheng, the left army of the left wing army of the Peng Japanese army, if the bandits really dared to abandon the city and go out a hundred miles to intercept the Japanese army, the Song army counterattacked and formed a decisive battle with the enemy at the junction of the plain and Lieshan Mountain.
However, a heavy rain disrupted all the deployment of the Song army. The Pengri Youxiang Army, who was expected to arrive at Lieshan in the afternoon, was suddenly reduced to the bottom of the valley due to this unexpected heavy rain. It was already noon and the destination was still far away.
Even if the elite camp is strong, it is impossible to rush to provide assistance in such stormy weather. Similarly, Wang Xin and Zhong Shiheng's armies could not leave the city in the rain, and to pick up Ying Tian's right wing army.
The best choice at the moment should be to camp on the spot, but Shi Yuansun would rather risk the army's mutiny than stay for a moment. If the enemy appears at this time, there is no need to fight. Just shout twice, the entire Pengri Right-Chang Army will immediately collapse.
Shenxiao Sect! Shi Yuansun cursed in his heart
Since Wang Zhe knocked the stone with a sword, forcing the Song State to stop pursuing the remnants of King Wumu, the Song State court said nothing in public, but secretly focused on supporting the Shenxiao Sect. The title of Immortal Master alone was awarded three consecutive competitions under Jiangzhou City. Zhang Ruhui, the mage sent by the Shenxiao Sect, was completely suppressed by the bandits' craftsmen, and did not take any advantage. A few days ago, the magic circle was broken, and the Shenxiao Sect was even more depressed. After receiving the edict of withdrawing the army, the Shenxiao Sect only reported to Weng Yinglong and immediately withdrew from the Shenxiao Sect. If there was a mage from the Shenxiao Sect, it would not be so embarrassing. It was hateful that these mages were all inadequate and had enough failure! They spent a lot of money, but they did not see any contribution.
Shi Yuansun whipped his mount hard, and his horse's hooves were carrying thick mud, struggling to move forward in the mud. Although he knew that the bandits in the city also suffered heavy losses and could not have the strength to go out of the city to fight, since he embarked on the journey to withdraw, Shi Yuansun was vaguely uneasy. After all, they were bandits in Xingyue Lake Camp...
This sudden heavy rain disrupted Shi Yuansun's march plan. In his anxiety, he felt a little relieved that the rain had fallen to this point, and the entire Jiangzhou plain had become a mud pond. No matter how fierce the bandits were, they were still living people after all. It was impossible for the soldiers to have wings and fly over. The soldiers were wet in this rain and would have to fall ill halfway. But as long as they could reach the foot of Lieshan, their lives would be saved.
Shi Yuansun thought about it, but there was no peace in his mind for a moment; suddenly, a horn came from behind him.
The Song army had heard this sound of horns full of killing meaning countless times in the past few months. When they heard this, almost everyone looked back and their pupils tightened in fear, even Shi Yuansun was no exception
The horn came very quickly, and it was still around the corner when it first started. With just one breath, it approached more than a hundred steps, as if it was walking in the heavy rain and wind.
Shi Yuansun shouted in a voice that changed tone: Formation!
In order to facilitate the road, the soldiers put the arms on the baggage trucks. At this time, they went to pick them up. How could they still develop the formation for a while?
In a panic, a fierce figure tore open the rain curtain and rushed over the man's red upper body. His light golden skin was like a gold-pinching bronze Buddha. He bit a long sword in his mouth. It was the Thunder Knife. A fallen Song army at the end of Zang Xiu's team could not dodge. He was hit by Zang Xiu and immediately flew up.
Zang Xiu ignored it, leaned forward slightly, and rushed towards the Song army brigade like lightning. The quagmire that even the horse's hooves could not cause any hindrance to him.
Shi Yuansun's palms trembled when he held the reins. Only then did he see clearly that the man was stepping on two strange boards, with one palm wide and two ends raised, as if two small boats were holding a pair of thin bamboo poles in his hand to control his advance. Although the ground was muddy, he seemed to be stepping on two small boats, coming and going like the wind
Zang Xiu took the thin pole behind him, and took off his thunder knife and thunderously thunder. He was like a battle axe, slashing hard into the Song army's unformed battle formation.
More and more figures appeared in the rain. Compared to Zang Xiu, who was leaning against the golden bell cover, they had an extra rain-proof cloak on their bodies. The other equipment was exactly the same, and they were equipped with wooden boards and bamboo sticks sliding on the mud.
Shi Yuansun was frightened to find that even in this long-distance raid, these bandits still maintained a complete formation and sharp tactics. They did not use the wooden boards that could be glided, and relied on speed and flexibility to move away from them. Instead, they chose to break the formation and attack without hesitation.
Headed by Zang Xiu, the soldiers of Xingyue Lake broke into the gaps he broke through one by one. Whether it was the swords and guns that the Song army struggled to swing or the sergeants rushed out, they could not stop their sharpness. The fierce bandits were like a quick knife, advancing deeper and deeper among the Song army.
Shi Yuansun made a cold war. When he woke up, he immediately pulled his cloak to cover his head and face, leaned on the saddle, and ran wildly.
During the retreat, the Song army's morale had fallen to the bottom. Seeing that the main general was soaked in the rain, he fell down with a bang. The Song army was stunned for a moment and then disintegrated.
No one paid attention to the supplies on the cart. The cart full of supplies was thrown to the roadside. The food and grass transported by the Song Dynasty court tried its best to be thrown into the mud. The weapons and armor that had been built were abandoned all over the ground. They held the Japanese army's big flag with gorgeous leopard tails and fell into the mud. They were trampled by panicked soldiers.
The Song army's team disintegrated like a long centipede in an instant. Each part rushed to throw down the baggage, throw away the swords and guns, take off the armor, and flee while running, screaming, as if the depressed fear for months burst out at this moment.
Wu Sangui, Wu Zhanwei, and Yi Biao slid shoulder to shoulder across the mud on the skateboard. The three of them practiced in the city for a few days. Although they were not as skilled as the soldiers of Xingyue Lake Camp, they had solid skills. They only fell a few times along the way. They were much better than the Song army who rolled and crawled in the mud.
Lao Gui is lucky enough, Wu Zhanwei said: As soon as he comes back, he will catch up with the war!
Wu Sangui said angrily: It’s a pity that I went to Jiankang, and you have finished the tough battle.
Yi Biao looked back and saw less than 30% of the guys who could keep up with him. These guys usually looked like five or six people. After pulling them out and practicing, they were much worse than the men of Xingyue Lake.
The three were ordered to form a direct battalion. They selected more than 100 mercenaries from the city and recruited some strong men. They finally collected enough quotas. According to Cheng Zongyang's order to fight hard battles, this new army always rushed to the front. After a long siege, they had almost eliminated them by the standards of ordinary troops. This new army, which had a bloody battle, was already an excellent elite, but it was far less powerful than the Xingyue Lake Camp.
Wu Sangui looked at the majestic posture of the Xingyue Lake soldiers rushing forward, and couldn't help but rise up. He took off his spear and I went to rush! Liangliang's signboard of our direct camp!
Although Wu Zhanwei was itchy when he saw it, he was thinking about Meng Feiqing's order and shook his head and said: No! Colonel Meng had ordered that this battle was to steal money and food, just drive the Song army away. The brothers still have to save their lives to go to Shuixianglou for fun.
Wu Sangui smiled and said: Brother is talking about a hundred people who have followed him now. How to fight this battle? I heard from Brother.
Wu Zhanwei laughed, come on, among the three of us, you and Biaozi are going to discuss the war, I'll listen
Complete! Wu Sangui didn't refuse and pointed at the Song army and said: The Song army had more than 3,000 people, and the team was about to be fought. At present, the men and women in Xingyue Lake got on the way, the main general fled. The remaining Song army must have run as fast as possible. Let me tell you, our more than 100 people were inserted through the middle and put the Song army in two sections, Lao Zang and the others behind, we were in the middle, and we stopped at both ends. Our first regiment directly wrapped the second half of the Song army, Colonel Meng's second regiment left earlier than us. At this moment, most of them were guarding the front, and the first half belonged to them.
Yi Biao said: There is also Lieutenant Colonel Hou's third regiment. They were on the wings to watch as Kuang Xiancheng said at the beginning. The rain will stop for at least one and a half hours. If they are entangled by the Selected Front Camp, it will be troublesome.
The rain has stopped and the ground has not yet dried. As long as you are quicker, the Picking Front Camp can't even eat our mud
As he said that, Wu Sangui arched Yi Biao with his elbow, Biaozi, what kind of love do you look like?
Yi Biao's face turned red, don't say that he is a widow...
Wu Zhanwei said: What's wrong with the widow? As long as you can have a good time, you will be able to raise it! I said to Biaozi, after this battle, let's talk to Cheng Touer and get the wedding of you and Li'er, and then take a concubine!
Yi Biao lowered his head and said for a while: I want to go to Baiyi to see my brother
Wu Zhanwei and Wu Sangui patted his shoulder together and comforted him: Brother Hu must be happy knowing that you have a family and a family! He has been around now, work!
The three of them paused for a moment, rectified their subordinates, and then rushed towards the collapsed team of the Song army.
While gliding, Yi Biao picked up the horn in his neck and blew his horn hard. The sound of the horn was different from the solemn and slaughtering of Xingyue Lake Camp. When the horn was desolate and tragic, the same horn sound came from behind. Yi Biao and others felt relieved, and each took out their weapons and shouted: Kill!
Several Song soldiers grabbed a cart's pack horse and tried to cut off the reins. They escaped with the help of horsepower. Suddenly the body of the car sank. A big man jumped onto the car. He was shirtless and yellow and black markings appeared on the back of his neck, like an upright tiger, with fierce eyes exposed.
The big man opened his mouth ferociously, let out a tiger-like roar. Four strong horses suddenly became weak. The sergeant who was lying on the ground was shocked by his beastly aura. His eyes turned pale and fainted. The other soldiers were so scared that they took a few steps back. Then they shouted, turned around and ran away in scatter.
Wu Erlang put his hands on his hips, stamped the cart with his feet, and shouted: Dare to steal the second master’s things! Grandson! You’re tired of living!
Yueshuang passed by his car like the wind while stepping on the skateboard. The black cloak was long behind his shoulders. Qiu Shaojun pressed the beard stuck to his face with one hand. He didn't know where the two skateboards were thrown. He was now using the light skills of Taiyi Zhenzong, and his speed was not much slower than Yueshuang's skateboard.
Wu Er stood in the car and looked at the world with great might. Unfortunately, his power was too strong. Song Jun either fainted or fled in all directions, and there was not even half a fun thing. He couldn't help but feel bored to see Shaojun Qiu coming. He glared, "You guy, why are you stupid?"
Qiu Shaojun rolled his eyes and pressed his beard and said: You will follow someone else's butt every day and eat dust. Suddenly one day you don't have to eat anymore. Wouldn't you be happy?
Bah! Wu Erlang spat, you have lost all the man's face!
You non-human murderer! Scum! Violent maniac! Qiu Shaojun returned his mouth and shouted: Miss Yue! Wait for me!
Meng Feiqing once told Cheng Zongyang that there are no undefeated military generals in the world. A good general not only needs to be able to win battles, but more importantly, he will defeat the battle. Only by being good at defeating can he preserve his strength to the maximum extent. Some generals claim to be victorious in every battle, but they will never be able to turn over once. Some generals have been defeated repeatedly and fight again and again. No matter how many times they lose, they can make a comeback.
The battle in front of him exposed the weakness of the Song army's inability to defeat the war. The main general took the lead in fleeing. The remaining soldiers did not have the courage to fight anymore. The already broken command system of the Riyouxiang Army was unable to organize an effective resistance. From generals to soldiers, everyone was scrambling to escape.
Liu Yisun held his waist tightly, and the raindrops as big as soybeans hit the iron armor, splashing out a cloud of mist. The wind storms the rainstorm swept across the plains, like thousands of horses galloping, adding to the power of night rain. But Liu Yisun knew that it was not late at night. Just half an hour ago, the day was still in the sky. The day was then filled with strong winds, and dark clouds covered the sun. The day and night were almost completed in an instant.
It seems that the rain in the spring was concentrated in this short time and space, pouring water on it on its body like a splash of water, and there was also a military subordinate behind him, each of them was waiting in vain, waiting for the order to retreat, or the appearance of the enemy.
Spring rain is as precious as oil. Zhang Kang said that he didn't even hang his armor, only wore a straw raincoat and a hat, with a relaxed expression
Liu Yisun loosened his palms a little, and he forced a smile: You are relaxed, and you are still thinking about spring farming.
Zhang Kang helped out with his hat and had already withdrawn his troops, so why not relax?
Liu Yisun's chest was undulating for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said: We are the one behind the rear! I said that it was an army with five commands, with only 60% of the actual troops, less than 1,500 people! This is the most complete army to support the Japanese left wing! How many bandits are there in the city? The remnants of Xingyue Lake Camp alone are no less than 1,550! The Tiger Wing Army withdrew, Jingsai Army withdrew, and the Dragon Guard Army withdrew! No one of the more than 100,000 troops would be willing to stay in this ghost place for another day! But you were scrambling to cut off the rear in front of Xia Shuai! Brother Zhang, there is really no need to rob! No matter what happened to cut off the rear, you will compete with you.
Faced with Liu Yisun's anger, Zhang Kang looked calm and touched his cheek and said: Could the general not want the military merits of the broken rear?
Don’t want it! Liu Yisun pointed to the empty Jinming Village camp behind him and said in a fury: No one of my subordinates wants! We just want to go back alive! As long as we walk with the Youxiang Army for a day earlier, we don’t have to be trapped here by this heavy rain!
The army of the right wing of the Pangri? They were still carrying baggage. Zhang Kang sighed, "I don't have the strength to push the cart to climb Lieshan."
Where is life? Liu Yisun lowered his voice and said: Do you think you can block the enemy's attack? They can defeat us with just one charge! Even if there is a wall of villages, it cannot be stopped!
Zhang Kang put down his hand and said disappointedly: It turns out that the general is also a person who is afraid of death.
I am not afraid of death! Liu Yisun was angry and roared: I just don’t want to die in vain! I have more than a thousand men to take care of! I also want to take revenge!
Only then will we break the rear! A flash of lightning flashed past, reflecting the sharp light in the center of Zhang Kang's eyes. Can you escape with the baggage? Leave the baggage and flee privately. Aren't you afraid of beheading?
Zhang Kang pointed at Jiangzhou City in the heavy rain. You and I know that our remnant army is vulnerable. Don’t they know? What are the benefits of defeating our remnant army? Do they need the military merits of beheading? The general is wrong! All they want is the same: baggage and supplies!
The most dangerous thing is not us, but the Pengri Youxiang Army who retreated in advance with their supplies! Did you see this heavy rain? This is the signal of their attack. It is still noon, but it is as dark as ink. Where is the heavy rain covering the sky? Jiangzhou is surrounded by plains, and now it is spring. The soil is thawing. They use this rain again, and the road is so muddy that even horses can't get through!
If this rain is one day earlier, I, Zhang Kang, run away immediately. You don’t want to die in vain. Do I want to die? The rain has just fallen, which means that the bandits have bypassed us and chased the right army of the Pengri with their baggage!
Liu Yisun looked at him in shock and said: All the equipment that could not be taken away was left in the camp. In order to avoid alarming the bandits, the military order asked us to burn it out with a fire when we retreated. Now it was raining so heavily, and it was too late to burn anything. This group of bandits was really careful. A rain left at least half of the baggage, and it also trapped all the troops around dozens of miles. They fled, could not escape, and could not be saved!
The bandits have bypassed us? Liu Yisun said in disbelief: But it's so heavy rain...
Wouldn't they go to the place first and then rain? Besides, they have any methods to march in the rain. Zhang Kang said: There is a strong city in front and a bandit behind, so we only have one road left.
There are strong enemies in front and behind, and this sudden heavy rain, let alone there is no way to go, there is a way. If the soldiers leave the barracks, they are afraid that most of them will be lost after walking for a few miles. Liu Yisun said: Where is there still a way?
Dajiang Zhang Kang said: There is nothing else in the camp now, but there are some woods. I have already made fifty wooden rafts. Fortunately, there are many people in the shortage of staff, so it is more than enough to have these wooden rafts.
Liu Yisun was shocked, "You want to cross the river? That's Ningzhou!"
Crossing the river is seeking death. Zhang Kang said: We go down the river
Liu Yisun could no longer speak, there was only one way to withdraw his troops, that is, go west, cross the fierce mountains and down the river, and it would only be further and further away from the Song State.
The waterway downstream is Zhaonan. Zhang Kangdao: This way is along the way, you can reach Kunwu in two days. Go from Kunwu to the west, reach Jingxi in three days, turn north, and we will reach Yunzhou in three days.
Yunzhou! Liu Yisun certainly knew this prefecture located in the westernmost part of the Song Dynasty
Zhang Kang nodded, don't forget, I've been to Zhaonan
More than a month ago, Zhang Kang sneaked into Zhaonan with his soldiers from all over the city. Even Liu Yisun didn't know how much money he had robbed, but the one he left for himself was already rich enough.
Liu Yisun was stunned for a while, and then said: It takes nine days on the road, eight of which are in Zhaonan. We are not one or two people, but a whole army. What's more, have you been there again, can you still go to Zhaonan?
Therefore, if you want to change your clothes, you cannot use the banner of Da Song.
You snatched Zhaonan's military warehouse? A strong wind blew over, and Liu Yisun suddenly sipped the rain, coughed a few times before saying: Can we hide it from the people of Zhaonan just pretending to be Zhaonan?
Zhang Kang glanced at him and spit out two words, Han Jun
Under Liu Yisun's shocked gaze, Zhang Kang drew a thread on the rainy ground with a scabbard: Everyone knows that the lower reaches of the river is Zhaonan, but they often forget that Hepu County where the river enters the sea is the land of the Han Kingdom. He pointed at the end of the line representing the river, and thousands of Han troops stationed in the county
Liu Yisun remembered that when Emperor Wu of Han dominated the Six Dynasties, he set up county garrisons in four places in the southeast, west and north. Wherever the Han army arrived, the southernmost point was Hepu County.
I met the Han army in Zhaonan. Zhang Kang whispered: Zhao Tuo, the governor of Hepu County, has lived in the south for a long time. He heard that our Song army attacked the remnants of Yue Pengju, appointed by the emperor, was interested in sending troops to compete for a contribution, so that he could return to the capital Luoyang. Now the Han envoys have most of the Han envoys have arrived in Lin'an. As long as your majesty nods, the Han army in Hepu County will go north in a few days and join our army at the city of Jiangzhou.
Liu Yisun was frightened when he heard this. It was fine if the military minister made friends with foreign generals in his private identity. He conspired with military affairs in private. In any dynasty, he was a serious crime. At the least, he was beheaded, and at the worst, he could destroy the clan. Even Xia Yonghe did something that Zhang Kang did not dare to do. He knew that Zhang Kang was very brave, but he did not expect that he was so bold.
Zhang Kang shook his straw raincoat. Now that His Majesty has issued an edict to withdraw his troops, the governor of Zhao County can only wait for other opportunities to make meritorious contributions. However, according to the alliance that year, the Han army had the privilege of passing through the Six Dynasties. As long as we change the Han army's clothing and armor flag, we can return to Yunzhou safely. Zhang Kang grinned in pain. One thousand five hundred sets, all of the old military uniforms made by the Han army were enough for me to bleed.
Liu Yisun finally tried hard: We are the rear guard. If we leave our posts without permission, even if we can return to Yunzhou, it will be a death sentence.
Zhang Kang turned his head and looked at the rain behind him, and then said: The victory and defeat have been decided. This battle tonight will definitely be the biggest defeat in the Song Dynasty in decades. If we are judged according to military law, there will be hundreds of people who should be beheaded. If we can return from the entire army among the bandits, the court will be happy and not be too late.
Zhang Kang didn't say anything more. The two stared for a long time. Liu Yisun took off his helmet and shook the rainwater on it hard. He gritted his teeth and said: The rain is about to stop and he won't leave now, so he doesn't have to leave anymore!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
On the plain west of Lieshan, a long line of troops that could not see the beginning and end were trekking hard in the heavy rain. The torches lit when the dark clouds first rose had already been extinguished by heavy rain. The soldiers could only grop in the darkness in wet armor. The lightning that cut through the sky from time to time reflected their faces that were tired and fearful.
The spring rain also has the coldness of winter. When the cuffs of the water are in, it will make your wrists numb. Shi Yuansun holds the horse whip, but the chill in his heart is even worse than this sudden heavy rain.
Jinming Village is more than 100 miles away from Lieshan, which is a two-day journey by standard. However, in order to meet with the Central Army as soon as possible, Shi Yuansun only allowed the soldiers to rest for two hours last night. The right wing army of the right wing army was carrying a large amount of baggage. It was not easy to walk, but the soldiers wanted to leave Jiangzhou early and everyone was competing for the first place. Who would have encountered this heavy rain.
The road trampled by countless people was as muddy as a mud. When you step down, the mud was almost gone and the mud was thrown into the mud. However, no sergeant stopped to pick up a pair of shoes that he had finally changed. After walking a few steps, he would be stuck by the mud-like road like a suction cup. If it was not stuck, it means you had to move forward with a pair of shoes covered with mud, each of which seemed to weigh hundreds of pounds.
The soldiers pushing the cart were already exhausted and couldn't even yell. They had no strength to yell. They could only bury their heads and push the cart that was dozens of times heavier than usual suddenly, and the wheels slipped. A cart fell into a mud pit about a foot deep. The vehicle full of armor tilted over, blocking the advance team.
Two cavalrymen came to the ground with water, shaking the wet flag and shouting: General has an order! You must rush to Lieshan camp today! You must not rest along the way! Those who stay on their own will! Staff! Those who hesitate and fail to enter! Those who block the road! Those who block the road!
The mud and water splashed on their bodies, and the soldiers did not even show their angry eyes. They just unloaded the armor on the car, threw it into the mud, and overturned the cart to the side.
Since receiving the order to withdraw the troops, the Song army has had several quarrels over how to withdraw the troops and finally attended the meeting with injuries, with Xia Yonghe's support, and decided to withdraw the almost disabled tiger wings under the city of Jiangzhou, return to the sacred and the quiet army.
For a weak soldier with low morale, the risk of retreat is even higher than the war between the two armies. In order to prevent being discovered by bandits in the city, the Song army's retreat measures were extremely secret, and a large amount of supplies were left to the end. The relatively complete personnel of the Pangri Right-Electric Army was responsible for the task of escorting the rear, and handed over to Liu Yisun Jun, who took the initiative to stand out.
Zhang Kang's guess is not completely accurate. In fact, in addition to their 10th Army in the left wing of the Dragon Guard, there is another army: Qin Han's selection camp.
The Selected Front Battalion fought hard for several days, and the losses were no less than other friendly troops. In order to ensure the mobility of this entire cavalry, Xia Yonghe mobilized almost all the horses in the army that could still be drawn, so that the Pengri Right-Carri Army, who escorted the baggage, could not even get enough horses to pull the cart.
This is not the first time that the Song army was defeated in retreat. Apart from Liu Yisun, who recommended himself, was the only elected camp that could face the enemy head-on with the bandits. Xia Yonghe also spared no effort to build a small city at the foot of Lieshan Mountain, leaving behind Wang Xin and Zhong Shiheng, the left army of the left wing army of the Peng Japanese army, if the bandits really dared to abandon the city and go out a hundred miles to intercept the Japanese army, the Song army counterattacked and formed a decisive battle with the enemy at the junction of the plain and Lieshan Mountain.
However, a heavy rain disrupted all the deployment of the Song army. The Pengri Youxiang Army, who was expected to arrive at Lieshan in the afternoon, was suddenly reduced to the bottom of the valley due to this unexpected heavy rain. It was already noon and the destination was still far away.
Even if the elite camp is strong, it is impossible to rush to provide assistance in such stormy weather. Similarly, Wang Xin and Zhong Shiheng's armies could not leave the city in the rain, and to pick up Ying Tian's right wing army.
The best choice at the moment should be to camp on the spot, but Shi Yuansun would rather risk the army's mutiny than stay for a moment. If the enemy appears at this time, there is no need to fight. Just shout twice, the entire Pengri Right-Chang Army will immediately collapse.
Shenxiao Sect! Shi Yuansun cursed in his heart
Since Wang Zhe knocked the stone with a sword, forcing the Song State to stop pursuing the remnants of King Wumu, the Song State court said nothing in public, but secretly focused on supporting the Shenxiao Sect. The title of Immortal Master alone was awarded three consecutive competitions under Jiangzhou City. Zhang Ruhui, the mage sent by the Shenxiao Sect, was completely suppressed by the bandits' craftsmen, and did not take any advantage. A few days ago, the magic circle was broken, and the Shenxiao Sect was even more depressed. After receiving the edict of withdrawing the army, the Shenxiao Sect only reported to Weng Yinglong and immediately withdrew from the Shenxiao Sect. If there was a mage from the Shenxiao Sect, it would not be so embarrassing. It was hateful that these mages were all inadequate and had enough failure! They spent a lot of money, but they did not see any contribution.
Shi Yuansun whipped his mount hard, and his horse's hooves were carrying thick mud, struggling to move forward in the mud. Although he knew that the bandits in the city also suffered heavy losses and could not have the strength to go out of the city to fight, since he embarked on the journey to withdraw, Shi Yuansun was vaguely uneasy. After all, they were bandits in Xingyue Lake Camp...
This sudden heavy rain disrupted Shi Yuansun's march plan. In his anxiety, he felt a little relieved that the rain had fallen to this point, and the entire Jiangzhou plain had become a mud pond. No matter how fierce the bandits were, they were still living people after all. It was impossible for the soldiers to have wings and fly over. The soldiers were wet in this rain and would have to fall ill halfway. But as long as they could reach the foot of Lieshan, their lives would be saved.
Shi Yuansun thought about it, but there was no peace in his mind for a moment; suddenly, a horn came from behind him.
The Song army had heard this sound of horns full of killing meaning countless times in the past few months. When they heard this, almost everyone looked back and their pupils tightened in fear, even Shi Yuansun was no exception
The horn came very quickly, and it was still around the corner when it first started. With just one breath, it approached more than a hundred steps, as if it was walking in the heavy rain and wind.
Shi Yuansun shouted in a voice that changed tone: Formation!
In order to facilitate the road, the soldiers put the arms on the baggage trucks. At this time, they went to pick them up. How could they still develop the formation for a while?
In a panic, a fierce figure tore open the rain curtain and rushed over the man's red upper body. His light golden skin was like a gold-pinching bronze Buddha. He bit a long sword in his mouth. It was the Thunder Knife. A fallen Song army at the end of Zang Xiu's team could not dodge. He was hit by Zang Xiu and immediately flew up.
Zang Xiu ignored it, leaned forward slightly, and rushed towards the Song army brigade like lightning. The quagmire that even the horse's hooves could not cause any hindrance to him.
Shi Yuansun's palms trembled when he held the reins. Only then did he see clearly that the man was stepping on two strange boards, with one palm wide and two ends raised, as if two small boats were holding a pair of thin bamboo poles in his hand to control his advance. Although the ground was muddy, he seemed to be stepping on two small boats, coming and going like the wind
Zang Xiu took the thin pole behind him, and took off his thunder knife and thunderously thunder. He was like a battle axe, slashing hard into the Song army's unformed battle formation.
More and more figures appeared in the rain. Compared to Zang Xiu, who was leaning against the golden bell cover, they had an extra rain-proof cloak on their bodies. The other equipment was exactly the same, and they were equipped with wooden boards and bamboo sticks sliding on the mud.
Shi Yuansun was frightened to find that even in this long-distance raid, these bandits still maintained a complete formation and sharp tactics. They did not use the wooden boards that could be glided, and relied on speed and flexibility to move away from them. Instead, they chose to break the formation and attack without hesitation.
Headed by Zang Xiu, the soldiers of Xingyue Lake broke into the gaps he broke through one by one. Whether it was the swords and guns that the Song army struggled to swing or the sergeants rushed out, they could not stop their sharpness. The fierce bandits were like a quick knife, advancing deeper and deeper among the Song army.
Shi Yuansun made a cold war. When he woke up, he immediately pulled his cloak to cover his head and face, leaned on the saddle, and ran wildly.
During the retreat, the Song army's morale had fallen to the bottom. Seeing that the main general was soaked in the rain, he fell down with a bang. The Song army was stunned for a moment and then disintegrated.
No one paid attention to the supplies on the cart. The cart full of supplies was thrown to the roadside. The food and grass transported by the Song Dynasty court tried its best to be thrown into the mud. The weapons and armor that had been built were abandoned all over the ground. They held the Japanese army's big flag with gorgeous leopard tails and fell into the mud. They were trampled by panicked soldiers.
The Song army's team disintegrated like a long centipede in an instant. Each part rushed to throw down the baggage, throw away the swords and guns, take off the armor, and flee while running, screaming, as if the depressed fear for months burst out at this moment.
Wu Sangui, Wu Zhanwei, and Yi Biao slid shoulder to shoulder across the mud on the skateboard. The three of them practiced in the city for a few days. Although they were not as skilled as the soldiers of Xingyue Lake Camp, they had solid skills. They only fell a few times along the way. They were much better than the Song army who rolled and crawled in the mud.
Lao Gui is lucky enough, Wu Zhanwei said: As soon as he comes back, he will catch up with the war!
Wu Sangui said angrily: It’s a pity that I went to Jiankang, and you have finished the tough battle.
Yi Biao looked back and saw less than 30% of the guys who could keep up with him. These guys usually looked like five or six people. After pulling them out and practicing, they were much worse than the men of Xingyue Lake.
The three were ordered to form a direct battalion. They selected more than 100 mercenaries from the city and recruited some strong men. They finally collected enough quotas. According to Cheng Zongyang's order to fight hard battles, this new army always rushed to the front. After a long siege, they had almost eliminated them by the standards of ordinary troops. This new army, which had a bloody battle, was already an excellent elite, but it was far less powerful than the Xingyue Lake Camp.
Wu Sangui looked at the majestic posture of the Xingyue Lake soldiers rushing forward, and couldn't help but rise up. He took off his spear and I went to rush! Liangliang's signboard of our direct camp!
Although Wu Zhanwei was itchy when he saw it, he was thinking about Meng Feiqing's order and shook his head and said: No! Colonel Meng had ordered that this battle was to steal money and food, just drive the Song army away. The brothers still have to save their lives to go to Shuixianglou for fun.
Wu Sangui smiled and said: Brother is talking about a hundred people who have followed him now. How to fight this battle? I heard from Brother.
Wu Zhanwei laughed, come on, among the three of us, you and Biaozi are going to discuss the war, I'll listen
Complete! Wu Sangui didn't refuse and pointed at the Song army and said: The Song army had more than 3,000 people, and the team was about to be fought. At present, the men and women in Xingyue Lake got on the way, the main general fled. The remaining Song army must have run as fast as possible. Let me tell you, our more than 100 people were inserted through the middle and put the Song army in two sections, Lao Zang and the others behind, we were in the middle, and we stopped at both ends. Our first regiment directly wrapped the second half of the Song army, Colonel Meng's second regiment left earlier than us. At this moment, most of them were guarding the front, and the first half belonged to them.
Yi Biao said: There is also Lieutenant Colonel Hou's third regiment. They were on the wings to watch as Kuang Xiancheng said at the beginning. The rain will stop for at least one and a half hours. If they are entangled by the Selected Front Camp, it will be troublesome.
The rain has stopped and the ground has not yet dried. As long as you are quicker, the Picking Front Camp can't even eat our mud
As he said that, Wu Sangui arched Yi Biao with his elbow, Biaozi, what kind of love do you look like?
Yi Biao's face turned red, don't say that he is a widow...
Wu Zhanwei said: What's wrong with the widow? As long as you can have a good time, you will be able to raise it! I said to Biaozi, after this battle, let's talk to Cheng Touer and get the wedding of you and Li'er, and then take a concubine!
Yi Biao lowered his head and said for a while: I want to go to Baiyi to see my brother
Wu Zhanwei and Wu Sangui patted his shoulder together and comforted him: Brother Hu must be happy knowing that you have a family and a family! He has been around now, work!
The three of them paused for a moment, rectified their subordinates, and then rushed towards the collapsed team of the Song army.
While gliding, Yi Biao picked up the horn in his neck and blew his horn hard. The sound of the horn was different from the solemn and slaughtering of Xingyue Lake Camp. When the horn was desolate and tragic, the same horn sound came from behind. Yi Biao and others felt relieved, and each took out their weapons and shouted: Kill!
Several Song soldiers grabbed a cart's pack horse and tried to cut off the reins. They escaped with the help of horsepower. Suddenly the body of the car sank. A big man jumped onto the car. He was shirtless and yellow and black markings appeared on the back of his neck, like an upright tiger, with fierce eyes exposed.
The big man opened his mouth ferociously, let out a tiger-like roar. Four strong horses suddenly became weak. The sergeant who was lying on the ground was shocked by his beastly aura. His eyes turned pale and fainted. The other soldiers were so scared that they took a few steps back. Then they shouted, turned around and ran away in scatter.
Wu Erlang put his hands on his hips, stamped the cart with his feet, and shouted: Dare to steal the second master’s things! Grandson! You’re tired of living!
Yueshuang passed by his car like the wind while stepping on the skateboard. The black cloak was long behind his shoulders. Qiu Shaojun pressed the beard stuck to his face with one hand. He didn't know where the two skateboards were thrown. He was now using the light skills of Taiyi Zhenzong, and his speed was not much slower than Yueshuang's skateboard.
Wu Er stood in the car and looked at the world with great might. Unfortunately, his power was too strong. Song Jun either fainted or fled in all directions, and there was not even half a fun thing. He couldn't help but feel bored to see Shaojun Qiu coming. He glared, "You guy, why are you stupid?"
Qiu Shaojun rolled his eyes and pressed his beard and said: You will follow someone else's butt every day and eat dust. Suddenly one day you don't have to eat anymore. Wouldn't you be happy?
Bah! Wu Erlang spat, you have lost all the man's face!
You non-human murderer! Scum! Violent maniac! Qiu Shaojun returned his mouth and shouted: Miss Yue! Wait for me!
Meng Feiqing once told Cheng Zongyang that there are no undefeated military generals in the world. A good general not only needs to be able to win battles, but more importantly, he will defeat the battle. Only by being good at defeating can he preserve his strength to the maximum extent. Some generals claim to be victorious in every battle, but they will never be able to turn over once. Some generals have been defeated repeatedly and fight again and again. No matter how many times they lose, they can make a comeback.
The battle in front of him exposed the weakness of the Song army's inability to defeat the war. The main general took the lead in fleeing. The remaining soldiers did not have the courage to fight anymore. The already broken command system of the Riyouxiang Army was unable to organize an effective resistance. From generals to soldiers, everyone was scrambling to escape.
