Jiangzhou.Jinmingzhai.
Liu Yisun sat cross-legged on the ground. The food next to him had already formed a thin layer of ice slag, but he had not moved a single bite.
He stared at the cracked yellow mud on the wall, and his black pupils seemed to be in the bottomless abyss.
This prison was built by him with the defeated soldiers of Mikawaguchi, but he did not expect that he would become the first prisoner.
A few days ago, Huang Dehe's secret message was sent to Lin'an, and Liu Ping, commander of the Japanese army left wing, secretly colluded with bandits and completely drove Liu Yisun, who had fallen off the cliff, into the abyss.
The soldiers of the Song army mobilized this time, including most of the commanders of the imperial guards, thought that this expedition was to borrow a way from Jin State to wipe out the bandits in Jiangzhou, and privately mocked the Jin army's incompetence.
Liu Yisun knew that things were not that simple. Although his father had never revealed the inside story to him, Xingyue Lake Camp was a name he was familiar with since childhood.
Just look at the past few years, from the king to the important officials in the court, and then to the army, the Song State was so secretive that the once stormy Xingyue Lake camp was so dangerous that the young soldiers didn't know who their opponent was, and they could know how fearful the Song State was of that person.
Huang Dehe's false accusation was hitting the pain of Song Zhu and Jia Taishi in power, and the court's reaction was extremely fierce.
Liu Yisun learned that all his relatives in Lin'an had been imprisoned, and even the surviving intermediate officers, including Wang Xin, Zhong Shiheng and Guo Kui, were suspected and were imprisoned at the same time.
A soldier came in quietly, took away the frozen meal, handed over another bowl of hot soup, and whispered: Dutou, let's eat something.
Liu Yisun said: I'm not hungry.
Almost everyone in the army knew that he was wronged. There were many survivors of the Battle of Mikawaguchi, and thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at who was the first to escape.
According to military rules, Huang De and the abandoned general escaped, resulting in the defeat of the entire army, which was the least of death.
But no one expected that Huang Dehe would point out in the secret memorial that Liu Ping colluded with the remnants of Xingyue Lake.
Ordinary soldiers don’t know the inside story, and who is willing to get involved in the general who knows the inside story?
Huang Dehe's false accusation was tricky and vicious, and he was sure that no one was willing to take the lead from the fire and explained the relationship between Liu Ping and Xingyue Lake.The Song State used literature to control the military. Even the senior general who had become famous for a long time in front of Grand Master Jia was like a servant.He was a military general who complained to Liu Ping for his injustice, but he was afraid that the three words "Xingyue Lake" would be pushed out and killed as soon as he finished speaking.
The hot soup gradually cooled down, and Liu Yisun still kept his sitting position without moving.
Fortunately, my father's legacy is still there, and the soldiers in the camp also knew the grievances he suffered, so no one made things difficult for him.
These people who were in jail helped him to get rid of the heavy work and he had a rare rest for a few days.
The soldier came in again and said: Head Liu Du, someone is coming to see you.
Yisun, why do you look like a bear?
With a confident voice, a young man stepped into the cell.He is about the same age as Liu Yisun, and he is very skilled and is obviously a disciple of the general.
Liu Yisun turned his head and barely tied the corner of his lips.Brother Ren, why are you here?
The person who came was Ren Huailiang, the son of Ren Fu, the commander of the left wing of the Long Guard Army. Because he was also from a general and also served in the imperial guards, the two had always had a good relationship when they were in Lin'an.
This time Liu Yisun was the vanguard, Ren Fu's Long Guard's Left Xiang Army was the rear army. The two went on the battle together, but the first meeting was in the prison.
Ren Huailiang raised his airs and said to the soldier with a stern face: You Liu Duzhu and I have something to say, you can go out first.
When the soldiers left, Ren Huailiang revealed his true form.He took off his helmet and threw it aside, then blinked at Liu Yisun, and took out a large bag of cooked meat from his arms.
beef?Where did it come from?
Yesterday, the prefectures and counties nearby sent the wine and meat from the army, and I specially kept it for you.
Liu Yisun doesn't believe it.The court repeatedly banned the slaughter of plowing oxen, so how could the labor force use beef?
Ren Huailiang laughed twice.I didn't finish it. This was the ox brought to the cart in the county. I looked at it and slaughtered it.
As he said that, he took out a silver pot containing wine from his arms, come on!Take a sip to remove the cold!Oh, you are afraid of a bird!Can the shadowless thing really be wronged?I went out after spending a lot of time and went to jail for half a month.
Liu Yisun picked up the silver pot and took a sip. The strong wine entered his throat, as if a fire line was burning straight into his stomach, extremely spicy.
Ren Huailiang grabbed a piece of beef and chewed it while saying: Huang De and the mess, I have to give him a knife when I hit him!I'm gonna be!There is no good person in the military supervisor!
Liu Yisun choked by alcohol, coughed, and wiped his lips.That can't be said, but Huang Dujian insulted his father and I, Liu Yisun, share the same sympathy with him!
Ren Huailiang felt uncomfortable when he saw the tears in his eyes and remembered Uncle Liu's past heroic posture.
Uncle Liu was a hero for a lifetime, but was plotted by a villain.Damn it!The bandits were cheating one after another, which was really despicable!
A group of mobs, our army hurried in the city as soon as it arrived.
Ren Huailiang became more and more annoyed the more he said. Xia Shuai was really. He had a 100,000 army, and just attacked once a few years ago. He came back without even touching the city wall of Jiangzhou. He built villages and dug trenches from Jiangzhou City every day.I wondered who is hitting Ah?Are you afraid that thousands of bandits will rush out and take us in a slaughter?
Ren Huailiang said, shook his head: Xia Shuai is really old, and he doesn't expect that there will be a group of civil servants in the court to stare at him. Xia Shuai drags on like this, as if he is afraid of the enemy and is so scared that he can't escape the charge of timid battle.
Liu Yisun said: You and I are military officials, so these words are hard to say.
If it weren't for you, would I say this?
Ren Huailiang sneered: Will you still report me?
Liu Yisun shook his head.Ren Huailiang and his father Ren Fu are the same. They are bold, brave and fierce, and speak freely.
As he was talking, a horn suddenly sounded in the distance. A moment later, a personal soldier rushed in, unable to hide his joy, Yanei!The turtle in Jiangzhou City has come out!
What!
Ren Huailiang jumped up all of a sudden.
Chang Ding Chang's commander of the Fourth Army first fought with the enemy. At this moment, General Ren had just requested military orders from Xia Shuai and was recruiting generals to send troops.
Ren Huailiang grabbed his helmet and ran away like a burning butt: Damn it!Pie falls from the sky!This credit is from our Dragon Guard Left Xiang Army!Yisun, see if I kill a few more enemy heads for you!
Huai Liang!careful!
Liu Yisun shouted from behind: That group of enemy enemies is extraordinary, tell Uncle Ren not to underestimate the enemy!
Ren Huailiang said indifferently: I understand!Don't worry!
The Long Guard Army and the enemy were completely unexpected.In order to siege Jiangzhou, the Song army built two villages in the south and east of the city, and were stationed by the Japanese army and the Long Guard army respectively.
Jiangzhou is a river to the west, and plains to the east and south. The north of the city is close to the Lieshan branch. The terrain is rough and not suitable for camping.In order to prevent the enemy from escaping the city and fleeing, the Song army sent cavalry to patrol the north of the city.
Unexpectedly, the cavalry of the Fourth Army in the left wing of the Long Guard caught a big fish. Outside the city, more than a dozen large trucks of supplies were quietly transported to the north gate of Jiangzhou.
The cavalry of Longche's Fourth Army immediately dispatched to intercept the enemy's squad. He didn't know what items were loaded on the car. Seeing that the convoy was attacked, the enemy who had been unable to hide in Jiangzhou actually sent hundreds of people to help, desperately trying to grab the cart back.
When the commander of the Fourth Army received the enemy's news, Chang Ding immediately rushed to the north gate of Jiangzhou to cut off the enemy's retreat.Seeing this, the bandits did not care about entering the city and escorted the convoy all the way north.
The bandits ran faster.
Chang Ding said: Seeing that our army cut off its retreat, he immediately fled north.
Where is Liu Su?
The person speaking was Ren Fu, the chief general of the Dragon Guard's left wing army. He was over forty years old and tall and mighty, with two four-blade iron tubes hanging on the side of his saddle.
Among the commanders of the four wings of the Pengri and Longwei, Liu Ping was born as a Jinshi, Shi Yuansun was the grandson of Shi Shouxin, Ge Huaimin was the son of Ge Ba, and they were all born into generals. Only Ren Fu started as a soldier, served as a commander of the capital, and was famous among the imperial guards.
Chang Ding said: The last general was worried that the bandits would be cheating, so he took turns to pursue Commander Liu.During the battle, he grabbed a large cart of the enemy.
The soldier lifted the oil cloth on the car and saw dozens of giant arrows like iron spears inside, with iron feathers at the tail.
Everyone was a long-time general in the army, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw it.
Someone shouted: One shot and three swords and arrows!
Ren Fu's face turned cold.One shot and three sword arrows are named after three branches at a time. There is only one type of iron giant crossbow arrow that can be used: the three-bow bed crossbow, commonly known as the Eight-Nuo Crossbow.
The maximum range of Baniu Crossbow exceeds three miles. The extremely long shooting distance and extremely strong force have caused the Song army to kill enemy generals many times, and it is also the top secret weapon of the Song army.
The bandits in Jiangzhou actually had eight ox crossbows. After this battle, the officials of the military weapon supervisors probably had to clean them all.
However, Ren Fu was not interested in the fate of those civil servants. He was concerned about what kind of damage the Eight Niu Crossbow would cause to the siege Song army once it appeared at the top of Jiangzhou city.
Ren Fu said in a deep voice: Report to Xia Shuai immediately!
As he said that, he hit the Spurs and led his army to chase north.
When Ren Fu learned that the enemy had left the city, he asked the commander Xia Yonghe to send troops, but Xia Shuai was older and was as decisive as before. He was only allowed to harass him and was strictly prohibited from pursuing him.
Now, a three-sword arrow was found in the enemy's transportation supplies, and even if Xia Yong and his relatives arrived, they had to pursue them relentlessly.
But the shadow of Liu Ping's defeat was still there, and Ren Fu issued consecutive orders, except for the Ninth and Tenth Army, which had weak combat power, he summoned all the other soldiers.
Even if the enemy army had ambush, the army of 20,000 people was several times higher than all enemy enemies in Jiangzhou.
Ren Fu was very confident in his Dragon Guard Zuoxiang Army. In terms of strength alone, the Dragon Guard Zuoxiang Army was probably the strongest branch of the Song army. He gathered in the army, and no one was inferior to other famous generals of the imperial guards.
Cheng Zongyang held a brass telescope and stared at the horizon in the distance. On his left were Xiao Yaoyi leaning against a horse and Shi Zhijun, the deputy commander of the Xuejun Mercenary Corps. On the right were four captains under his command: Zang Xiu, Xu Yong, Du Yuansheng, and Su Rao.
Cheng Zongyang's first regiment was composed of the first battalion left by Xie Yi and Xiao Yaoyi's sixth battalion. Since there was no direct battalion and the weakest strength, the entire Xuexiao Mercenary Group was transferred to form a left-wing coalition.
Ever since he learned that Shi Zhixiao was secretly peeking at Yueshuang, Cheng Zongyang has been very wary of the mercenary commander, so he pulled the little fox up.
Xiao Yaoyi handed over military power and was sent to defend the city by Boss Meng. He was about to cry for Boss Meng because he was not able to participate in this battle. Cheng Zongyang's righteous act of helping him in time made him still laugh at this moment.
It's seven o'clock apart.Oh, it's Chen time.
Xiao Yaoyi looked down at the alarm clock, then looked up at Cheng Zongyang, and said sincerely: Brother Cheng, you are really my dear brother!
You said it more than a hundred times.
Cheng Zongyang said angrily: Your hair is so long, it looks like a girl.
Xiao Yaoyi changed into Xingyue Lake military uniform, becoming more and more heroic, but his hair under his military cap was draped behind his shoulders and tied it with a ribbon, which made his solemn soldier image more gentle and elegant.
Xiao Yaoyi muttered: Do you think I want to stay Ah?I still have to wear a crown after this battle.Brother Cheng, why not change the two of us. You are the governor of Jiangzhou, and I am the leader of the regiment for you.
lie!
Cheng Zongyang interrupted him and whispered: Here we are.
Not right.
Cheng Zongyang looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and murmured: It seems that there are only 10,000 people, where are the rest of the army?
The troops were divided.
Zang Xiu looked at the military report he had just handed over: The Long Guard Army chased to Chuankou and divided into four groups.The chief general Ren Fu led the First Army Sang Yi, the Fourth Army Chang Ding, the Fifth Army Liu Su, and the Sixth Army Wang Qing.Zhu Guan of the Second Army, Wu Ying of the Third Army, Zhao Jin of the Seventh Army, and Wang Gui of the Eighth Army.
Su Yaoyi said twice: The battle is about to be divided, General Ren is crazy, right?
Cheng Zongyang said: The good place that Brother Hou chose is the good water river terrain, and 20,000 people cannot spread.
What's more, the people separated the more people than the entire Xingyue Lake camp.
Not much more either.Now our Xingyue Lake is full, with eight battalions and two thousand and four hundred people.Besides, Lao Shi's men and horses were there.If they really fight, they can't take much advantage of them all together.
Xiao Yaoyi turned his head and looked at Shi Zhixiao, and said with a smile: Yes, Lao Shi?
The two of them have become so familiar these days. The six hundred mercenaries brought by Shi Zhifu and two eight-ox crossbows are not an exaggeration to say that they are worth ten thousand gold.
If it weren't for his unpredictable intention, Xiao Yaoyi really wanted to make this friend.
Shi Zhijun's hands were cage in his sleeves, and his shaved face was slightly tense due to the upcoming battle. He nodded after hearing this.
The plan for the Battle of Haoshuichuan was proposed by Hou Xuan, and the plan was to use all the main forces of Xingyue Lake Camp to severely damage the Dragon Guard's Left Xiang Army in the field.
The main force of Xingyue Lake Camp's battle will inevitably lead to the air defense of Jiangzhou City. The biggest danger is that the Song army takes the opportunity to attack the city.
Fortunately, there are not many people in Xingyue Lake. There are nearly 10,000 people in Jiangzhou City, including civil servants, and two or three thousand people are missing. There is no way to tell the truth.
As long as the battle is decided quickly, and the battle goal is completed before the Song army can react and withdraw back to the city, even if the Song army attacks the city in large numbers, everyone will have the confidence to defend it.
The battlefield selected by Hou Xuan - Haoshuichuan, is located forty miles north of Jiangzhou City.
The north of Jiangzhou City is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a highland. The rain from the remnants of Lieshan has been washed away for many years, leaving a huge fan-shaped alluvial area on the plain, with terrain gullies within more than 30 miles.
The most important one is called Good Shuichuan. It is said to be a river but there is no water. The width of the middle of the river is only more than one hundred steps, but the depth is more than two feet.At this time, the main force of Xingyue Lake Camp was waiting for the arrival of the Long Wei Army in Sichuan.
According to the original plan, the left wing of the battlefield was composed of two battalions of Cheng Zongyang's first regiment and the Xuexiao Mercenary Corps, with a number of 1,200 people.
On the right wing are Hou Xuan's three battalions, with a number of nine hundred people.
Meng Feiqing personally dispatched the middle lane. In addition to his direct battalion, there were also Simingxin and Lu Jing who had never taken action, with a total of 900 people.
There are also about 200 mercenaries as auxiliary soldiers, with a total of more than 3,000 troops, but the opponent is 20,000 elite, which is even more disparate compared to the Battle of Mikawaguchi.
Yueshuang is also in the middle lane. She has just been promoted to the second lieutenant and is responsible for commanding a platoon.
Cheng Zongyang could imagine that Boss Meng would definitely pick out all the best men under her and hand them over to her. Besides, there was the follower Qiu, who was afraid that after this battle, she would not even hurt her hair.
Cheng Zongyang just arrived in Jiangzhou yesterday and immediately received a message from Lin Qingpu from Jingxi.
On the night he left Yingzhou, Qin Hui and Feng Yuan jointly sneaked into Changping Warehouse in Yingzhou. After a big fire, more than 90% of the 500,000 shi of military rations accumulated in the warehouse were burned.
The reason why there were more than 10,000 stones left was that Qin Hui took advantage of the opportunity to put out the fire, led the civilians to snatch them out of the fire and moved them to his own warehouse. Now his surname is Cheng.
Another thousand stones came to the bottom of the warehouse and Qin Hui found that even pigs didn't like to eat them, so he generously sent them to the prefect's office.
As a result, a fire in Changping Warehouse in the Changzhou City suffered heavy losses. Qin Hui himself was praised by the Yunzhou government with the halo of not avoiding danger, actively organizing civilians to fight fires and maintain order, and making contributions to disaster relief.
Facing the haggard official of Yunzhou, Qin Hui said emotionally: Although Qin is a foreigner, he has long regarded Yunzhou as his home.This time, Changping Warehouse suffered a natural disaster. The officials rushed to rescue him. The hard work was obvious to all the hundreds of thousands of elders in Yunzhou. Even Qin himself also gave him good commands to all the officials to rescue some food.The people who have not yet achieved the merits of size have been commended, and the people are ashamed of being unable to bear it.
All the officials lamented for a long time and said: It is natural disasters that are inevitable. We officials have worked hard, and that is a matter of duty. Mr. Qin's righteous deeds are rare. This commendation must be accepted no matter what, so that we can go back and report to Teng Magistrate.
Cheng Zongyang admired him very much. He set fire, robbed food, and was commended. He also pleased the officials in Yunzhou, and also put the blame on the fire on God.
Others eat one fish, but he eats one fish eight times back and forth, and he can eat it fresh every time. He is so talented - the officials in the city of Hammon should really set up a archway for him.
After the news that Chang Pingteng was burned was confirmed, Meng Feiqing immediately seized the opportunity and launched a battle of good water tank before the news reached Jinming Village.
If the battle is won, the Song army will lose 20% of its elite troops and learn that the food will be out of stock, the only option is to withdraw.
The terrain of the good water river is rugged, and Xingyue Lake Camp uses one shot and three sword arrows exclusively for the Eight Niu Crossbow as a lure cake to attract double!Ren Fu from the Zuoxiang Army, as soon as he entered Sichuan, he was divided into several routes to flee.
Ren Fu was indeed deceived. Based on the ruts, footprints, and the abandoned chariots on the road, he judged that the enemy had 14 chariots, with a total of about 300 people.So Ren Fu mobilized eight troops under his command to attack with all his might.
This is to prevent Liu Ping from repeating his mistakes. Ren Fucai did not hesitate to use the means of an eagle to fight against the rabbit. Even if the enemy was cheated, 20,000 troops would be enough to kill the enemy. Who knew that all this was in Hou Xuan's calculations.
The banner of Song Jun could be seen faintly in the smoke and dust. Shi Zhifang narrowed his eyes and it was Sang Yi.
Lao Shi is so eye-catching, no wonder he plays hidden weapons so well.
Xiao Yaoyi exclaimed twice, and then said: Brother Cheng and Brother Shi, do you know why Boss Meng chose the left army of the Dragon Guard?
Shi Zhixiao smiled but didn't say anything, Cheng Zongyang said: Soft persimmon or hard persimmon?
Xiao Yaoyi smiled.hard!Sang Yi, the commander of the First Army, guess what is his origin?Six doors!Others are lone thieves, but he is lone constable.Although Liushemen also killed thieves, he was not as good as him. He was also very smart, so he simply transferred his military position and joined the Long Guard Army this time.
Wu Ying, the commander of the Third Army, was a guest minister and was very resourceful and good at fighting.General Ren asked him to divide his troops because the commander of the military was cautious and kicked him away so that he would not be in the way of persuading him, and he would be relieved to have him lead the army.
Wang Gui, the commander of the Eighth Army, was a powerful general of the Imperial Army. He was good at using iron whips, and was no less than Guo Zun, who was under Liu Ping.You can't guess his origin.
Xiao Yaoyi smiled and said: Taiyi Zhenzong!Unexpectedly, a fierce general is proficient in Yin-Yang calculating.
Cheng Zongyang suddenly said: No wonder Guo Zun saw Yue Mei using Zhenwu Sword that time, she only captured but not killed.Since he is from Taiyi Zhenzong, why don’t he follow Wang Shishuai?
Wang Gui joined the army earlier than the commander-in-chief and became a gangster with the commander-in-chief.
...Can you find an example of having no grudge against Yue Shuai?
There is Ah.
Xiao Yaoyi quickly argued: Zhu Guan, the commander of the Second Army, had a very good relationship with Boss Meng.If he hadn't already had a military position at that time, he would have almost entered our Xingyue Lake.
Xiao Yaoyi sighed, "Boss Meng is not having a good time fighting with his old friend."
Cheng Zongyang sneered: Stop changing the topic for me.I asked you, Shuai Yue, what did you pull Boss Meng out and say?
Xiao Yaoyi smiled and said: If you can't think of it for a moment, it doesn't mean it's not true. Maybe I can remember it tomorrow.Hehe, I just talked about so many powerful generals, but I haven’t mentioned the chief general Ren Fu yet.General Ren and Shuai Yue fought against Zhenliao. He attacked Baili at night and captured Baibao City and became famous in one battle.The Dragon Guard's left wing army is full of talents, and they are all dragons and tigers. If they can defeat them, the Song army's combat power will be reduced by at least 40%.
The Good Shui River washed out deep ditches from the rainwater flowing from the remnants of Lieshan Mountain, forming an inverted fan shape, merged into one place and flowed into the river.
The Song army divided its troops in Chuankou and inevitably went further and further.Ren Fu personally led the main force of nearly 10,000 troops to advance quickly, nearly five miles away from Zhu Guan and Wu Ying.
Shi Zhixiao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: Ren Fu is so brave and fierce, and his speed is now restrained.
Cheng Zongyang held the telescope and said: You can see it.In comparison, Wu Ying was cautious enough.
Compared to the morale of Ren Fu's main force, Zhu Guan and Wu Ying's Second and Third Army marched, while working hard, sent soldiers to climb over the mountain ridges and contacted Zhao Jin of the Seventh Army and Wang Gui of the Eighth Army on both sides, and always maintained the same progress, which made them farther away from the main force.
However, in such a terrain, it is much more difficult to communicate with one's own side.
As Ren Fujun turned around in the middle of Sichuan, he was separated by a ridge of mountains, and even Cheng Zongyang could not see where they were marching.
The number of personnel on the alpine side is only one-third of Ren Fu's troops. If he cannot enter the battle in time at the same time and strive to defeat the Song army, he will lose without fighting this battle.
Cheng Zongyang was wondering how Mr. Meng would command the three groups of people and horses that were several miles apart to attack at the same time. Suddenly, a white dove flew up from the valley inside and outside with a sharp whistle.
Xiao Yaoyi was energetic: Ren Fu is in!
Looking at the white pigeons all over the sky, Cheng Zongyang finally remembered a scene that had appeared in history - the dragon and tiger generation in Manchuan, and he still talked about his own military force.This means that the elite dragon and tiger soldiers who died in the battle in the Song army.
Ren Huailiang threw down the silver mud box in his hand and said terrified: Damn!Who stuffs so many pigeons in the box?
The Song army vanguard was chasing the enemy, but he saw hundreds of silver-white mud boxes in the middle of Sichuan, with flapping sounds inside.
Sang Yi was worried about fraud and ordered the army to wait for the main general.
Ren Fu came here in person and couldn't figure out what was hidden in the silver mud box, so he asked someone to open it.Unexpectedly, there were pigeons in the silver mud box, and they flew out as soon as they opened it.
The sharp pigeon whistle kicked off the battle of Haoshuichuan, and then a two-meter-high fool appeared on the ridge in the distance.
The flagpole of the big flag is made in new style, but the flag seems to have experienced countless vicissitudes and is covered with scars.On the bloody red battle flag, a huge Yue character is clearly visible even if it is two miles away.
The ridge is located at the entrance of Chuankou, and the valley forms a Ya-shaped shape.The two large cars that the Song army had been chasing for a long time were parked under the ridge.
Ren Fu's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at the majestic figure under the big flag, and said word by word: Meng Feiqing!
The sound of pigeon whistles was not stopped, and ambushings were everywhere around him. The first wave of arrows caused nearly 100 Song troops to lose their combat effectiveness.
Ren Fu didn't even move his eyebrows. He straightened his body and said in a deep voice: Since the main force of the enemy is here, we will save ourselves from finding a way out.Even if the enemy invaders come with all their strength, they will only have thousands, but our army has 20,000!Just one army is enough to wipe them out, let alone I have eight dragon and tiger troops!Who brought the Yuezi's flag for me!
A general holding a horse beside him bowed but said nothing.
Ren Fu knew that he had always been taciturn and did not care about it. He ordered: Sang Yi!You bring the first army!As long as you take down Yue Zhe’s battle flag, you will be a great achievement!
Sang Yi is short and has a poor appearance. No matter how you look, he doesn't look like a brave general.A long sword hung around his waist. Because he was in the army, the iron ruler he used to use was replaced with an iron simplified iron hanging on the side of his saddle.
Another general whispered: The last general asks for battle!
He was six feet tall, one head taller than Sangze - in fact, in the Dragon Guard Army, even ordinary soldiers were more than five feet and seven inches tall, which was one meter and seventy inches tall, and the Tianwu Army of the upper four armies required a height of five feet and eight inches, which was one meter and eight inches tall.
It is a completely special case that Sang Yi was able to enter the imperial guards.
Sang Ze suddenly said: I only bring one battalion and the rest of the formation.
As he said that, he turned over and jumped onto the horse, drew his sword and pointed at his army, picked out a battalion and rushed towards the battle flag in front.
Ren Fu knew that he was taking advantage of the enemy's foothold and taking the lead in stepping in order to leave time for himself to set up the formation.After all, the Song army's infantry was famous all over the world, and as long as they could form a formation, they would be invincible.
But Haoshuichuan is narrow in terrain, and under the long-distance pursuit, nearly 10,000 people from four armies stretched two or three miles away in the river, and it would take half an hour to form a good formation at the fastest.
Ren Huailiang looked at Sang Ze's sword coming out, and couldn't help but be jealous and shouted: Daddy!
Ren Fu glared at him, then waved his hand and said, "Go!"
Ren Huailiang cheered and led his cavalry to follow Sang Yi and fight forward.
As the enemy ambushed out everywhere, fierce battles began in several places in Sichuan.Ren Fu ignored it and ordered one after another to gather his soldiers and start forming a formation.
Sang Yi lay on the horse, constantly drawing his sword to pick up the arrows that were flying, quickly approaching the ridge where the enemy's battle flag was located.
When there were more than a hundred steps apart, two large carts parked side by side at the ridge suddenly separated to both sides, and dragged them out with oil cloth; the free ring-shaped object, like a black giant python that was constantly elongating, instantly sealed the ridge and the valley entrances on both sides.
The Song cavalry in the front couldn't help but slow down and exchanged shocked eyes with each other.Ren Huailiang even opened his mouth wide and forgot to vomit out the dust after taking a bite.
The enemy's chariot was not carrying the Eight-Nuo crossbow arrows, but a pile of ring-shaped iron wires.
The iron wire ring was half a person's height, and was densely twisted with two-inch-long iron thorns.
No matter whether it is a person or a person, as long as he or she hits him or her body is injured.
This kind of barbed wire is extremely easy to place, and it will naturally be erected to form a barrier as soon as it is dragged out.Moreover, it is ring-shaped and cannot be pushed down at all. At most, it can only be approached and found a way to cut it open.
Compared with the deer antlers and bamboo sticks commonly used by the Six Dynasties army, this kind of barbed wire has a great advantage. The height of half a man makes it impossible for the cavalry to leap over the horse, nor can it be forcibly trampled by the horse's hooves. It is impossible to cut it off, but it is extremely easy to connect it, and it is also convenient to pack it up after the war, so you don't have to worry about missing out like scattered deer antlers and caltrops.
Ren Fu saw it behind the formation and his face became a little colder.This was the first time that the generals around him saw such a unique and difficult defensive device, and they couldn't help but lose their compliments.
Liu Jin, the captain of the personal soldiers next to Ren Fu, had been with the chief general back then and said in a lost voice: Barbed wire!
General--
The residence!
Ren Fu said coldly: What can I do to an iron net?Liu Su, Chang Ding!Go to the back road to gather your soldiers!
Liu Su and Chang Ding's Fourth and Fifth Armies were the first to start chasing, and in order to save horsepower, they both fell behind.
The two generals came to their senses and agreed in unison, and ran back with their personal soldiers.
The ring-shaped barbed wire that the enemy suddenly dragged out turned the road into a dangerous place in a blink of an eye, which not only made the Song army rushing to the battlefield frightened, but also Shi Zhixiao was shocked. After a while, he said: Yue Shuai's wonderful ideas, he will only see him today.I have heard that Xingyue Lake Camp has many amazing skills, and it is indeed well-known!
Xiao Yaoyi looked proud and said to Cheng Zongyang like a treasure: Brother Cheng, how about our barbed wire?Didn't you think of it?
Cheng Zongyang cursed in his heart: You are a Yuebien, I am still planning to make a group of people to show off their skills when defending the city, but in the end you will be the first to take the lead.If you show off less, you will die!
Shi Zhiwei Lian was surprised and said: It is not very difficult to build this wire mesh, but the difficulty lies in how to make the ironware so flexible.Although it is fine iron, it is like a silk rope.
Cheng Zongyang said: No matter what you need to build, it is all drawn out.
Now it was the little fox's turn to be stunned.Do you know how to do it?
Cheng Zongyang shrugged.Shi Zhifu said: How is that possible!Iron tools are easy to fold, but they will not break inch by pulling them?
That's the wrong method of smelting iron.
Xiao Yaoyi then asked: What's wrong?
Cheng Zongyang said: Carboniferous.
The State of Song suffered a loss because it used coal too early. There was no refined coke at that time. The sulfur content in the coal made the iron brittle and hard. If charcoal was used, the effect would be much better.
Xiao Yaoyi's mouth was so open that he could stuff a fist, just like the time Cheng Zongyang said about the sofa, and his eyes changed when he looked at Cheng Zongyang.
Cheng Zongyang suddenly smiled: Did you Yue Shuai dream of making a machine gun?
Xiao Yaoyi looked at him in admiration and whispered: It has been built, but it is just a machine cannon, you will see it in a while.
No?
Cheng Zongyang said with regret: Why didn’t he blow him to death?
Liu Su led his personal soldiers to rush towards his army against the flow of people. Cold arrows kept shooting from the ridges on both sides. The Song army's shield hands were covering the outside, and the rest of the soldiers gathered according to their own teams, capitals, camps and troops.
But the widest part of Haoshui River is only more than a hundred steps, and the terrain is tortuous and changeable. The entire army is like a three-mile giant snake, unable to look at each other. Only on the ridge can you see fierce battles breaking out everywhere in the snake body.
Seeing the flag of the Fifth Army from afar, a personal soldier took out his horn to prepare to summon the camps to form a formation.Liu Su snatched it over and put it beside his mouth, and then the sound of desolate horns rang in the valley.
Now, every second is a battle. If you form a formation sooner, you can stabilize your position and launch a counterattack sooner.
Liu Su was not worried that he would lose. After all, he had four elite troops around him, and powerful generals such as Wu Ying and Wang Gui would also be on the battlefield at any time.
Suddenly, the personal soldiers shouted: General!: Liu Su turned his head and saw several enemy soldiers wearing black military uniforms appear on the ridge, then unveiling a strange object.
The object is like a bucket with an iron barrel about the size of a foot, the barrel is about two feet long, and is placed towards the sky; a cotton thread extends out from the small hole at the tail.An enemy took out a fire slap and blew it, lit the cotton thread.
The bandit next to him calmly covered the mouth of the barrel with a thin gauze, then tilted the iron barrel down in his direction, and then the iron barrel suddenly flipped backwards, making a thunderous sound.
Liu Su watched a thick smoke spew out of the mouth of the bucket, and the thin gauze instantly disappeared. Then countless tiny iron Moli flew out from the mouth of the bucket, covering himself like raindrops.
Liu Su tried his best to pull out his sword, but before he could lift it up, he fell to the ground with his man and horse.
Several of his closest personal soldiers were also affected, covered with caltrops.
He also got a shot in his left eye, and warm blood kept flowing; he saw the surrounding soldiers rushing towards him, but the shouts gradually became blurred.
It's really the bandits in Xingyue Lake Camp Ah...
The last thought came to Liu Su's mind, then he loosened his fingers and rolled his sword to the side.
This kind of machine cannon has a short range and can only take twenty steps at most, and it is even more unreliable.Shuai Yue was originally planning to put iron balls in it, but it flew away as soon as he hit it, so he had to change it to the starry sky.It’s useless in normal times. When there are many people, you can always get a group of unlucky people when you fight out.
Xiao Yaoyi said with a bitter face: It’s just that gunpowder is too expensive, and a single smoke will knock out dozens of silver baht.
Cheng Zongyang said: You, Mr. Yue, are you too immoral?Is there poison on the iron quinoa?
That thing can't be pierced deep even if it hits the body, and it will be useless if it doesn't carry poison.
Kill the person to death?This cannon is too bad!
The greatest effect of a machine cannon is not to kill people, but to scare people.
Xiao Yaoyi laughed in a low voice: Look, no one dares to come here.ha!It seems that I hit the big guy, look at the helmet, is it the military commander?He is really bad.
The range of the cannon just now was only a dozen steps away. If it weren't for shooting from top to bottom, it would be a problem whether it could save lives.
Although the machine cannon was just a scary thing, the effect was excellent. The Song army fought desperately to steal the body of the commander and retreated far away, looking at the fire break in the enemy's hands in fear.
On which side did the enemy turn the guns? The Song army retreated like a tide, which was equivalent to using only three people to guard a section of a hundred-step ridge.
Liu Su's exquisite armor blocked most of the caltrops, but a few on his face took his life, and he also became the best in the battle of Shuichuan!A military-level commander who died in battle.
Liu Yisun sat cross-legged on the ground. The food next to him had already formed a thin layer of ice slag, but he had not moved a single bite.
He stared at the cracked yellow mud on the wall, and his black pupils seemed to be in the bottomless abyss.
This prison was built by him with the defeated soldiers of Mikawaguchi, but he did not expect that he would become the first prisoner.
A few days ago, Huang Dehe's secret message was sent to Lin'an, and Liu Ping, commander of the Japanese army left wing, secretly colluded with bandits and completely drove Liu Yisun, who had fallen off the cliff, into the abyss.
The soldiers of the Song army mobilized this time, including most of the commanders of the imperial guards, thought that this expedition was to borrow a way from Jin State to wipe out the bandits in Jiangzhou, and privately mocked the Jin army's incompetence.
Liu Yisun knew that things were not that simple. Although his father had never revealed the inside story to him, Xingyue Lake Camp was a name he was familiar with since childhood.
Just look at the past few years, from the king to the important officials in the court, and then to the army, the Song State was so secretive that the once stormy Xingyue Lake camp was so dangerous that the young soldiers didn't know who their opponent was, and they could know how fearful the Song State was of that person.
Huang Dehe's false accusation was hitting the pain of Song Zhu and Jia Taishi in power, and the court's reaction was extremely fierce.
Liu Yisun learned that all his relatives in Lin'an had been imprisoned, and even the surviving intermediate officers, including Wang Xin, Zhong Shiheng and Guo Kui, were suspected and were imprisoned at the same time.
A soldier came in quietly, took away the frozen meal, handed over another bowl of hot soup, and whispered: Dutou, let's eat something.
Liu Yisun said: I'm not hungry.
Almost everyone in the army knew that he was wronged. There were many survivors of the Battle of Mikawaguchi, and thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at who was the first to escape.
According to military rules, Huang De and the abandoned general escaped, resulting in the defeat of the entire army, which was the least of death.
But no one expected that Huang Dehe would point out in the secret memorial that Liu Ping colluded with the remnants of Xingyue Lake.
Ordinary soldiers don’t know the inside story, and who is willing to get involved in the general who knows the inside story?
Huang Dehe's false accusation was tricky and vicious, and he was sure that no one was willing to take the lead from the fire and explained the relationship between Liu Ping and Xingyue Lake.The Song State used literature to control the military. Even the senior general who had become famous for a long time in front of Grand Master Jia was like a servant.He was a military general who complained to Liu Ping for his injustice, but he was afraid that the three words "Xingyue Lake" would be pushed out and killed as soon as he finished speaking.
The hot soup gradually cooled down, and Liu Yisun still kept his sitting position without moving.
Fortunately, my father's legacy is still there, and the soldiers in the camp also knew the grievances he suffered, so no one made things difficult for him.
These people who were in jail helped him to get rid of the heavy work and he had a rare rest for a few days.
The soldier came in again and said: Head Liu Du, someone is coming to see you.
Yisun, why do you look like a bear?
With a confident voice, a young man stepped into the cell.He is about the same age as Liu Yisun, and he is very skilled and is obviously a disciple of the general.
Liu Yisun turned his head and barely tied the corner of his lips.Brother Ren, why are you here?
The person who came was Ren Huailiang, the son of Ren Fu, the commander of the left wing of the Long Guard Army. Because he was also from a general and also served in the imperial guards, the two had always had a good relationship when they were in Lin'an.
This time Liu Yisun was the vanguard, Ren Fu's Long Guard's Left Xiang Army was the rear army. The two went on the battle together, but the first meeting was in the prison.
Ren Huailiang raised his airs and said to the soldier with a stern face: You Liu Duzhu and I have something to say, you can go out first.
When the soldiers left, Ren Huailiang revealed his true form.He took off his helmet and threw it aside, then blinked at Liu Yisun, and took out a large bag of cooked meat from his arms.
beef?Where did it come from?
Yesterday, the prefectures and counties nearby sent the wine and meat from the army, and I specially kept it for you.
Liu Yisun doesn't believe it.The court repeatedly banned the slaughter of plowing oxen, so how could the labor force use beef?
Ren Huailiang laughed twice.I didn't finish it. This was the ox brought to the cart in the county. I looked at it and slaughtered it.
As he said that, he took out a silver pot containing wine from his arms, come on!Take a sip to remove the cold!Oh, you are afraid of a bird!Can the shadowless thing really be wronged?I went out after spending a lot of time and went to jail for half a month.
Liu Yisun picked up the silver pot and took a sip. The strong wine entered his throat, as if a fire line was burning straight into his stomach, extremely spicy.
Ren Huailiang grabbed a piece of beef and chewed it while saying: Huang De and the mess, I have to give him a knife when I hit him!I'm gonna be!There is no good person in the military supervisor!
Liu Yisun choked by alcohol, coughed, and wiped his lips.That can't be said, but Huang Dujian insulted his father and I, Liu Yisun, share the same sympathy with him!
Ren Huailiang felt uncomfortable when he saw the tears in his eyes and remembered Uncle Liu's past heroic posture.
Uncle Liu was a hero for a lifetime, but was plotted by a villain.Damn it!The bandits were cheating one after another, which was really despicable!
A group of mobs, our army hurried in the city as soon as it arrived.
Ren Huailiang became more and more annoyed the more he said. Xia Shuai was really. He had a 100,000 army, and just attacked once a few years ago. He came back without even touching the city wall of Jiangzhou. He built villages and dug trenches from Jiangzhou City every day.I wondered who is hitting Ah?Are you afraid that thousands of bandits will rush out and take us in a slaughter?
Ren Huailiang said, shook his head: Xia Shuai is really old, and he doesn't expect that there will be a group of civil servants in the court to stare at him. Xia Shuai drags on like this, as if he is afraid of the enemy and is so scared that he can't escape the charge of timid battle.
Liu Yisun said: You and I are military officials, so these words are hard to say.
If it weren't for you, would I say this?
Ren Huailiang sneered: Will you still report me?
Liu Yisun shook his head.Ren Huailiang and his father Ren Fu are the same. They are bold, brave and fierce, and speak freely.
As he was talking, a horn suddenly sounded in the distance. A moment later, a personal soldier rushed in, unable to hide his joy, Yanei!The turtle in Jiangzhou City has come out!
What!
Ren Huailiang jumped up all of a sudden.
Chang Ding Chang's commander of the Fourth Army first fought with the enemy. At this moment, General Ren had just requested military orders from Xia Shuai and was recruiting generals to send troops.
Ren Huailiang grabbed his helmet and ran away like a burning butt: Damn it!Pie falls from the sky!This credit is from our Dragon Guard Left Xiang Army!Yisun, see if I kill a few more enemy heads for you!
Huai Liang!careful!
Liu Yisun shouted from behind: That group of enemy enemies is extraordinary, tell Uncle Ren not to underestimate the enemy!
Ren Huailiang said indifferently: I understand!Don't worry!
The Long Guard Army and the enemy were completely unexpected.In order to siege Jiangzhou, the Song army built two villages in the south and east of the city, and were stationed by the Japanese army and the Long Guard army respectively.
Jiangzhou is a river to the west, and plains to the east and south. The north of the city is close to the Lieshan branch. The terrain is rough and not suitable for camping.In order to prevent the enemy from escaping the city and fleeing, the Song army sent cavalry to patrol the north of the city.
Unexpectedly, the cavalry of the Fourth Army in the left wing of the Long Guard caught a big fish. Outside the city, more than a dozen large trucks of supplies were quietly transported to the north gate of Jiangzhou.
The cavalry of Longche's Fourth Army immediately dispatched to intercept the enemy's squad. He didn't know what items were loaded on the car. Seeing that the convoy was attacked, the enemy who had been unable to hide in Jiangzhou actually sent hundreds of people to help, desperately trying to grab the cart back.
When the commander of the Fourth Army received the enemy's news, Chang Ding immediately rushed to the north gate of Jiangzhou to cut off the enemy's retreat.Seeing this, the bandits did not care about entering the city and escorted the convoy all the way north.
The bandits ran faster.
Chang Ding said: Seeing that our army cut off its retreat, he immediately fled north.
Where is Liu Su?
The person speaking was Ren Fu, the chief general of the Dragon Guard's left wing army. He was over forty years old and tall and mighty, with two four-blade iron tubes hanging on the side of his saddle.
Among the commanders of the four wings of the Pengri and Longwei, Liu Ping was born as a Jinshi, Shi Yuansun was the grandson of Shi Shouxin, Ge Huaimin was the son of Ge Ba, and they were all born into generals. Only Ren Fu started as a soldier, served as a commander of the capital, and was famous among the imperial guards.
Chang Ding said: The last general was worried that the bandits would be cheating, so he took turns to pursue Commander Liu.During the battle, he grabbed a large cart of the enemy.
The soldier lifted the oil cloth on the car and saw dozens of giant arrows like iron spears inside, with iron feathers at the tail.
Everyone was a long-time general in the army, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw it.
Someone shouted: One shot and three swords and arrows!
Ren Fu's face turned cold.One shot and three sword arrows are named after three branches at a time. There is only one type of iron giant crossbow arrow that can be used: the three-bow bed crossbow, commonly known as the Eight-Nuo Crossbow.
The maximum range of Baniu Crossbow exceeds three miles. The extremely long shooting distance and extremely strong force have caused the Song army to kill enemy generals many times, and it is also the top secret weapon of the Song army.
The bandits in Jiangzhou actually had eight ox crossbows. After this battle, the officials of the military weapon supervisors probably had to clean them all.
However, Ren Fu was not interested in the fate of those civil servants. He was concerned about what kind of damage the Eight Niu Crossbow would cause to the siege Song army once it appeared at the top of Jiangzhou city.
Ren Fu said in a deep voice: Report to Xia Shuai immediately!
As he said that, he hit the Spurs and led his army to chase north.
When Ren Fu learned that the enemy had left the city, he asked the commander Xia Yonghe to send troops, but Xia Shuai was older and was as decisive as before. He was only allowed to harass him and was strictly prohibited from pursuing him.
Now, a three-sword arrow was found in the enemy's transportation supplies, and even if Xia Yong and his relatives arrived, they had to pursue them relentlessly.
But the shadow of Liu Ping's defeat was still there, and Ren Fu issued consecutive orders, except for the Ninth and Tenth Army, which had weak combat power, he summoned all the other soldiers.
Even if the enemy army had ambush, the army of 20,000 people was several times higher than all enemy enemies in Jiangzhou.
Ren Fu was very confident in his Dragon Guard Zuoxiang Army. In terms of strength alone, the Dragon Guard Zuoxiang Army was probably the strongest branch of the Song army. He gathered in the army, and no one was inferior to other famous generals of the imperial guards.
Cheng Zongyang held a brass telescope and stared at the horizon in the distance. On his left were Xiao Yaoyi leaning against a horse and Shi Zhijun, the deputy commander of the Xuejun Mercenary Corps. On the right were four captains under his command: Zang Xiu, Xu Yong, Du Yuansheng, and Su Rao.
Cheng Zongyang's first regiment was composed of the first battalion left by Xie Yi and Xiao Yaoyi's sixth battalion. Since there was no direct battalion and the weakest strength, the entire Xuexiao Mercenary Group was transferred to form a left-wing coalition.
Ever since he learned that Shi Zhixiao was secretly peeking at Yueshuang, Cheng Zongyang has been very wary of the mercenary commander, so he pulled the little fox up.
Xiao Yaoyi handed over military power and was sent to defend the city by Boss Meng. He was about to cry for Boss Meng because he was not able to participate in this battle. Cheng Zongyang's righteous act of helping him in time made him still laugh at this moment.
It's seven o'clock apart.Oh, it's Chen time.
Xiao Yaoyi looked down at the alarm clock, then looked up at Cheng Zongyang, and said sincerely: Brother Cheng, you are really my dear brother!
You said it more than a hundred times.
Cheng Zongyang said angrily: Your hair is so long, it looks like a girl.
Xiao Yaoyi changed into Xingyue Lake military uniform, becoming more and more heroic, but his hair under his military cap was draped behind his shoulders and tied it with a ribbon, which made his solemn soldier image more gentle and elegant.
Xiao Yaoyi muttered: Do you think I want to stay Ah?I still have to wear a crown after this battle.Brother Cheng, why not change the two of us. You are the governor of Jiangzhou, and I am the leader of the regiment for you.
lie!
Cheng Zongyang interrupted him and whispered: Here we are.
Not right.
Cheng Zongyang looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and murmured: It seems that there are only 10,000 people, where are the rest of the army?
The troops were divided.
Zang Xiu looked at the military report he had just handed over: The Long Guard Army chased to Chuankou and divided into four groups.The chief general Ren Fu led the First Army Sang Yi, the Fourth Army Chang Ding, the Fifth Army Liu Su, and the Sixth Army Wang Qing.Zhu Guan of the Second Army, Wu Ying of the Third Army, Zhao Jin of the Seventh Army, and Wang Gui of the Eighth Army.
Su Yaoyi said twice: The battle is about to be divided, General Ren is crazy, right?
Cheng Zongyang said: The good place that Brother Hou chose is the good water river terrain, and 20,000 people cannot spread.
What's more, the people separated the more people than the entire Xingyue Lake camp.
Not much more either.Now our Xingyue Lake is full, with eight battalions and two thousand and four hundred people.Besides, Lao Shi's men and horses were there.If they really fight, they can't take much advantage of them all together.
Xiao Yaoyi turned his head and looked at Shi Zhixiao, and said with a smile: Yes, Lao Shi?
The two of them have become so familiar these days. The six hundred mercenaries brought by Shi Zhifu and two eight-ox crossbows are not an exaggeration to say that they are worth ten thousand gold.
If it weren't for his unpredictable intention, Xiao Yaoyi really wanted to make this friend.
Shi Zhijun's hands were cage in his sleeves, and his shaved face was slightly tense due to the upcoming battle. He nodded after hearing this.
The plan for the Battle of Haoshuichuan was proposed by Hou Xuan, and the plan was to use all the main forces of Xingyue Lake Camp to severely damage the Dragon Guard's Left Xiang Army in the field.
The main force of Xingyue Lake Camp's battle will inevitably lead to the air defense of Jiangzhou City. The biggest danger is that the Song army takes the opportunity to attack the city.
Fortunately, there are not many people in Xingyue Lake. There are nearly 10,000 people in Jiangzhou City, including civil servants, and two or three thousand people are missing. There is no way to tell the truth.
As long as the battle is decided quickly, and the battle goal is completed before the Song army can react and withdraw back to the city, even if the Song army attacks the city in large numbers, everyone will have the confidence to defend it.
The battlefield selected by Hou Xuan - Haoshuichuan, is located forty miles north of Jiangzhou City.
The north of Jiangzhou City is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a highland. The rain from the remnants of Lieshan has been washed away for many years, leaving a huge fan-shaped alluvial area on the plain, with terrain gullies within more than 30 miles.
The most important one is called Good Shuichuan. It is said to be a river but there is no water. The width of the middle of the river is only more than one hundred steps, but the depth is more than two feet.At this time, the main force of Xingyue Lake Camp was waiting for the arrival of the Long Wei Army in Sichuan.
According to the original plan, the left wing of the battlefield was composed of two battalions of Cheng Zongyang's first regiment and the Xuexiao Mercenary Corps, with a number of 1,200 people.
On the right wing are Hou Xuan's three battalions, with a number of nine hundred people.
Meng Feiqing personally dispatched the middle lane. In addition to his direct battalion, there were also Simingxin and Lu Jing who had never taken action, with a total of 900 people.
There are also about 200 mercenaries as auxiliary soldiers, with a total of more than 3,000 troops, but the opponent is 20,000 elite, which is even more disparate compared to the Battle of Mikawaguchi.
Yueshuang is also in the middle lane. She has just been promoted to the second lieutenant and is responsible for commanding a platoon.
Cheng Zongyang could imagine that Boss Meng would definitely pick out all the best men under her and hand them over to her. Besides, there was the follower Qiu, who was afraid that after this battle, she would not even hurt her hair.
Cheng Zongyang just arrived in Jiangzhou yesterday and immediately received a message from Lin Qingpu from Jingxi.
On the night he left Yingzhou, Qin Hui and Feng Yuan jointly sneaked into Changping Warehouse in Yingzhou. After a big fire, more than 90% of the 500,000 shi of military rations accumulated in the warehouse were burned.
The reason why there were more than 10,000 stones left was that Qin Hui took advantage of the opportunity to put out the fire, led the civilians to snatch them out of the fire and moved them to his own warehouse. Now his surname is Cheng.
Another thousand stones came to the bottom of the warehouse and Qin Hui found that even pigs didn't like to eat them, so he generously sent them to the prefect's office.
As a result, a fire in Changping Warehouse in the Changzhou City suffered heavy losses. Qin Hui himself was praised by the Yunzhou government with the halo of not avoiding danger, actively organizing civilians to fight fires and maintain order, and making contributions to disaster relief.
Facing the haggard official of Yunzhou, Qin Hui said emotionally: Although Qin is a foreigner, he has long regarded Yunzhou as his home.This time, Changping Warehouse suffered a natural disaster. The officials rushed to rescue him. The hard work was obvious to all the hundreds of thousands of elders in Yunzhou. Even Qin himself also gave him good commands to all the officials to rescue some food.The people who have not yet achieved the merits of size have been commended, and the people are ashamed of being unable to bear it.
All the officials lamented for a long time and said: It is natural disasters that are inevitable. We officials have worked hard, and that is a matter of duty. Mr. Qin's righteous deeds are rare. This commendation must be accepted no matter what, so that we can go back and report to Teng Magistrate.
Cheng Zongyang admired him very much. He set fire, robbed food, and was commended. He also pleased the officials in Yunzhou, and also put the blame on the fire on God.
Others eat one fish, but he eats one fish eight times back and forth, and he can eat it fresh every time. He is so talented - the officials in the city of Hammon should really set up a archway for him.
After the news that Chang Pingteng was burned was confirmed, Meng Feiqing immediately seized the opportunity and launched a battle of good water tank before the news reached Jinming Village.
If the battle is won, the Song army will lose 20% of its elite troops and learn that the food will be out of stock, the only option is to withdraw.
The terrain of the good water river is rugged, and Xingyue Lake Camp uses one shot and three sword arrows exclusively for the Eight Niu Crossbow as a lure cake to attract double!Ren Fu from the Zuoxiang Army, as soon as he entered Sichuan, he was divided into several routes to flee.
Ren Fu was indeed deceived. Based on the ruts, footprints, and the abandoned chariots on the road, he judged that the enemy had 14 chariots, with a total of about 300 people.So Ren Fu mobilized eight troops under his command to attack with all his might.
This is to prevent Liu Ping from repeating his mistakes. Ren Fucai did not hesitate to use the means of an eagle to fight against the rabbit. Even if the enemy was cheated, 20,000 troops would be enough to kill the enemy. Who knew that all this was in Hou Xuan's calculations.
The banner of Song Jun could be seen faintly in the smoke and dust. Shi Zhifang narrowed his eyes and it was Sang Yi.
Lao Shi is so eye-catching, no wonder he plays hidden weapons so well.
Xiao Yaoyi exclaimed twice, and then said: Brother Cheng and Brother Shi, do you know why Boss Meng chose the left army of the Dragon Guard?
Shi Zhixiao smiled but didn't say anything, Cheng Zongyang said: Soft persimmon or hard persimmon?
Xiao Yaoyi smiled.hard!Sang Yi, the commander of the First Army, guess what is his origin?Six doors!Others are lone thieves, but he is lone constable.Although Liushemen also killed thieves, he was not as good as him. He was also very smart, so he simply transferred his military position and joined the Long Guard Army this time.
Wu Ying, the commander of the Third Army, was a guest minister and was very resourceful and good at fighting.General Ren asked him to divide his troops because the commander of the military was cautious and kicked him away so that he would not be in the way of persuading him, and he would be relieved to have him lead the army.
Wang Gui, the commander of the Eighth Army, was a powerful general of the Imperial Army. He was good at using iron whips, and was no less than Guo Zun, who was under Liu Ping.You can't guess his origin.
Xiao Yaoyi smiled and said: Taiyi Zhenzong!Unexpectedly, a fierce general is proficient in Yin-Yang calculating.
Cheng Zongyang suddenly said: No wonder Guo Zun saw Yue Mei using Zhenwu Sword that time, she only captured but not killed.Since he is from Taiyi Zhenzong, why don’t he follow Wang Shishuai?
Wang Gui joined the army earlier than the commander-in-chief and became a gangster with the commander-in-chief.
...Can you find an example of having no grudge against Yue Shuai?
There is Ah.
Xiao Yaoyi quickly argued: Zhu Guan, the commander of the Second Army, had a very good relationship with Boss Meng.If he hadn't already had a military position at that time, he would have almost entered our Xingyue Lake.
Xiao Yaoyi sighed, "Boss Meng is not having a good time fighting with his old friend."
Cheng Zongyang sneered: Stop changing the topic for me.I asked you, Shuai Yue, what did you pull Boss Meng out and say?
Xiao Yaoyi smiled and said: If you can't think of it for a moment, it doesn't mean it's not true. Maybe I can remember it tomorrow.Hehe, I just talked about so many powerful generals, but I haven’t mentioned the chief general Ren Fu yet.General Ren and Shuai Yue fought against Zhenliao. He attacked Baili at night and captured Baibao City and became famous in one battle.The Dragon Guard's left wing army is full of talents, and they are all dragons and tigers. If they can defeat them, the Song army's combat power will be reduced by at least 40%.
The Good Shui River washed out deep ditches from the rainwater flowing from the remnants of Lieshan Mountain, forming an inverted fan shape, merged into one place and flowed into the river.
The Song army divided its troops in Chuankou and inevitably went further and further.Ren Fu personally led the main force of nearly 10,000 troops to advance quickly, nearly five miles away from Zhu Guan and Wu Ying.
Shi Zhixiao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: Ren Fu is so brave and fierce, and his speed is now restrained.
Cheng Zongyang held the telescope and said: You can see it.In comparison, Wu Ying was cautious enough.
Compared to the morale of Ren Fu's main force, Zhu Guan and Wu Ying's Second and Third Army marched, while working hard, sent soldiers to climb over the mountain ridges and contacted Zhao Jin of the Seventh Army and Wang Gui of the Eighth Army on both sides, and always maintained the same progress, which made them farther away from the main force.
However, in such a terrain, it is much more difficult to communicate with one's own side.
As Ren Fujun turned around in the middle of Sichuan, he was separated by a ridge of mountains, and even Cheng Zongyang could not see where they were marching.
The number of personnel on the alpine side is only one-third of Ren Fu's troops. If he cannot enter the battle in time at the same time and strive to defeat the Song army, he will lose without fighting this battle.
Cheng Zongyang was wondering how Mr. Meng would command the three groups of people and horses that were several miles apart to attack at the same time. Suddenly, a white dove flew up from the valley inside and outside with a sharp whistle.
Xiao Yaoyi was energetic: Ren Fu is in!
Looking at the white pigeons all over the sky, Cheng Zongyang finally remembered a scene that had appeared in history - the dragon and tiger generation in Manchuan, and he still talked about his own military force.This means that the elite dragon and tiger soldiers who died in the battle in the Song army.
Ren Huailiang threw down the silver mud box in his hand and said terrified: Damn!Who stuffs so many pigeons in the box?
The Song army vanguard was chasing the enemy, but he saw hundreds of silver-white mud boxes in the middle of Sichuan, with flapping sounds inside.
Sang Yi was worried about fraud and ordered the army to wait for the main general.
Ren Fu came here in person and couldn't figure out what was hidden in the silver mud box, so he asked someone to open it.Unexpectedly, there were pigeons in the silver mud box, and they flew out as soon as they opened it.
The sharp pigeon whistle kicked off the battle of Haoshuichuan, and then a two-meter-high fool appeared on the ridge in the distance.
The flagpole of the big flag is made in new style, but the flag seems to have experienced countless vicissitudes and is covered with scars.On the bloody red battle flag, a huge Yue character is clearly visible even if it is two miles away.
The ridge is located at the entrance of Chuankou, and the valley forms a Ya-shaped shape.The two large cars that the Song army had been chasing for a long time were parked under the ridge.
Ren Fu's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at the majestic figure under the big flag, and said word by word: Meng Feiqing!
The sound of pigeon whistles was not stopped, and ambushings were everywhere around him. The first wave of arrows caused nearly 100 Song troops to lose their combat effectiveness.
Ren Fu didn't even move his eyebrows. He straightened his body and said in a deep voice: Since the main force of the enemy is here, we will save ourselves from finding a way out.Even if the enemy invaders come with all their strength, they will only have thousands, but our army has 20,000!Just one army is enough to wipe them out, let alone I have eight dragon and tiger troops!Who brought the Yuezi's flag for me!
A general holding a horse beside him bowed but said nothing.
Ren Fu knew that he had always been taciturn and did not care about it. He ordered: Sang Yi!You bring the first army!As long as you take down Yue Zhe’s battle flag, you will be a great achievement!
Sang Yi is short and has a poor appearance. No matter how you look, he doesn't look like a brave general.A long sword hung around his waist. Because he was in the army, the iron ruler he used to use was replaced with an iron simplified iron hanging on the side of his saddle.
Another general whispered: The last general asks for battle!
He was six feet tall, one head taller than Sangze - in fact, in the Dragon Guard Army, even ordinary soldiers were more than five feet and seven inches tall, which was one meter and seventy inches tall, and the Tianwu Army of the upper four armies required a height of five feet and eight inches, which was one meter and eight inches tall.
It is a completely special case that Sang Yi was able to enter the imperial guards.
Sang Ze suddenly said: I only bring one battalion and the rest of the formation.
As he said that, he turned over and jumped onto the horse, drew his sword and pointed at his army, picked out a battalion and rushed towards the battle flag in front.
Ren Fu knew that he was taking advantage of the enemy's foothold and taking the lead in stepping in order to leave time for himself to set up the formation.After all, the Song army's infantry was famous all over the world, and as long as they could form a formation, they would be invincible.
But Haoshuichuan is narrow in terrain, and under the long-distance pursuit, nearly 10,000 people from four armies stretched two or three miles away in the river, and it would take half an hour to form a good formation at the fastest.
Ren Huailiang looked at Sang Ze's sword coming out, and couldn't help but be jealous and shouted: Daddy!
Ren Fu glared at him, then waved his hand and said, "Go!"
Ren Huailiang cheered and led his cavalry to follow Sang Yi and fight forward.
As the enemy ambushed out everywhere, fierce battles began in several places in Sichuan.Ren Fu ignored it and ordered one after another to gather his soldiers and start forming a formation.
Sang Yi lay on the horse, constantly drawing his sword to pick up the arrows that were flying, quickly approaching the ridge where the enemy's battle flag was located.
When there were more than a hundred steps apart, two large carts parked side by side at the ridge suddenly separated to both sides, and dragged them out with oil cloth; the free ring-shaped object, like a black giant python that was constantly elongating, instantly sealed the ridge and the valley entrances on both sides.
The Song cavalry in the front couldn't help but slow down and exchanged shocked eyes with each other.Ren Huailiang even opened his mouth wide and forgot to vomit out the dust after taking a bite.
The enemy's chariot was not carrying the Eight-Nuo crossbow arrows, but a pile of ring-shaped iron wires.
The iron wire ring was half a person's height, and was densely twisted with two-inch-long iron thorns.
No matter whether it is a person or a person, as long as he or she hits him or her body is injured.
This kind of barbed wire is extremely easy to place, and it will naturally be erected to form a barrier as soon as it is dragged out.Moreover, it is ring-shaped and cannot be pushed down at all. At most, it can only be approached and found a way to cut it open.
Compared with the deer antlers and bamboo sticks commonly used by the Six Dynasties army, this kind of barbed wire has a great advantage. The height of half a man makes it impossible for the cavalry to leap over the horse, nor can it be forcibly trampled by the horse's hooves. It is impossible to cut it off, but it is extremely easy to connect it, and it is also convenient to pack it up after the war, so you don't have to worry about missing out like scattered deer antlers and caltrops.
Ren Fu saw it behind the formation and his face became a little colder.This was the first time that the generals around him saw such a unique and difficult defensive device, and they couldn't help but lose their compliments.
Liu Jin, the captain of the personal soldiers next to Ren Fu, had been with the chief general back then and said in a lost voice: Barbed wire!
General--
The residence!
Ren Fu said coldly: What can I do to an iron net?Liu Su, Chang Ding!Go to the back road to gather your soldiers!
Liu Su and Chang Ding's Fourth and Fifth Armies were the first to start chasing, and in order to save horsepower, they both fell behind.
The two generals came to their senses and agreed in unison, and ran back with their personal soldiers.
The ring-shaped barbed wire that the enemy suddenly dragged out turned the road into a dangerous place in a blink of an eye, which not only made the Song army rushing to the battlefield frightened, but also Shi Zhixiao was shocked. After a while, he said: Yue Shuai's wonderful ideas, he will only see him today.I have heard that Xingyue Lake Camp has many amazing skills, and it is indeed well-known!
Xiao Yaoyi looked proud and said to Cheng Zongyang like a treasure: Brother Cheng, how about our barbed wire?Didn't you think of it?
Cheng Zongyang cursed in his heart: You are a Yuebien, I am still planning to make a group of people to show off their skills when defending the city, but in the end you will be the first to take the lead.If you show off less, you will die!
Shi Zhiwei Lian was surprised and said: It is not very difficult to build this wire mesh, but the difficulty lies in how to make the ironware so flexible.Although it is fine iron, it is like a silk rope.
Cheng Zongyang said: No matter what you need to build, it is all drawn out.
Now it was the little fox's turn to be stunned.Do you know how to do it?
Cheng Zongyang shrugged.Shi Zhifu said: How is that possible!Iron tools are easy to fold, but they will not break inch by pulling them?
That's the wrong method of smelting iron.
Xiao Yaoyi then asked: What's wrong?
Cheng Zongyang said: Carboniferous.
The State of Song suffered a loss because it used coal too early. There was no refined coke at that time. The sulfur content in the coal made the iron brittle and hard. If charcoal was used, the effect would be much better.
Xiao Yaoyi's mouth was so open that he could stuff a fist, just like the time Cheng Zongyang said about the sofa, and his eyes changed when he looked at Cheng Zongyang.
Cheng Zongyang suddenly smiled: Did you Yue Shuai dream of making a machine gun?
Xiao Yaoyi looked at him in admiration and whispered: It has been built, but it is just a machine cannon, you will see it in a while.
No?
Cheng Zongyang said with regret: Why didn’t he blow him to death?
Liu Su led his personal soldiers to rush towards his army against the flow of people. Cold arrows kept shooting from the ridges on both sides. The Song army's shield hands were covering the outside, and the rest of the soldiers gathered according to their own teams, capitals, camps and troops.
But the widest part of Haoshui River is only more than a hundred steps, and the terrain is tortuous and changeable. The entire army is like a three-mile giant snake, unable to look at each other. Only on the ridge can you see fierce battles breaking out everywhere in the snake body.
Seeing the flag of the Fifth Army from afar, a personal soldier took out his horn to prepare to summon the camps to form a formation.Liu Su snatched it over and put it beside his mouth, and then the sound of desolate horns rang in the valley.
Now, every second is a battle. If you form a formation sooner, you can stabilize your position and launch a counterattack sooner.
Liu Su was not worried that he would lose. After all, he had four elite troops around him, and powerful generals such as Wu Ying and Wang Gui would also be on the battlefield at any time.
Suddenly, the personal soldiers shouted: General!: Liu Su turned his head and saw several enemy soldiers wearing black military uniforms appear on the ridge, then unveiling a strange object.
The object is like a bucket with an iron barrel about the size of a foot, the barrel is about two feet long, and is placed towards the sky; a cotton thread extends out from the small hole at the tail.An enemy took out a fire slap and blew it, lit the cotton thread.
The bandit next to him calmly covered the mouth of the barrel with a thin gauze, then tilted the iron barrel down in his direction, and then the iron barrel suddenly flipped backwards, making a thunderous sound.
Liu Su watched a thick smoke spew out of the mouth of the bucket, and the thin gauze instantly disappeared. Then countless tiny iron Moli flew out from the mouth of the bucket, covering himself like raindrops.
Liu Su tried his best to pull out his sword, but before he could lift it up, he fell to the ground with his man and horse.
Several of his closest personal soldiers were also affected, covered with caltrops.
He also got a shot in his left eye, and warm blood kept flowing; he saw the surrounding soldiers rushing towards him, but the shouts gradually became blurred.
It's really the bandits in Xingyue Lake Camp Ah...
The last thought came to Liu Su's mind, then he loosened his fingers and rolled his sword to the side.
This kind of machine cannon has a short range and can only take twenty steps at most, and it is even more unreliable.Shuai Yue was originally planning to put iron balls in it, but it flew away as soon as he hit it, so he had to change it to the starry sky.It’s useless in normal times. When there are many people, you can always get a group of unlucky people when you fight out.
Xiao Yaoyi said with a bitter face: It’s just that gunpowder is too expensive, and a single smoke will knock out dozens of silver baht.
Cheng Zongyang said: You, Mr. Yue, are you too immoral?Is there poison on the iron quinoa?
That thing can't be pierced deep even if it hits the body, and it will be useless if it doesn't carry poison.
Kill the person to death?This cannon is too bad!
The greatest effect of a machine cannon is not to kill people, but to scare people.
Xiao Yaoyi laughed in a low voice: Look, no one dares to come here.ha!It seems that I hit the big guy, look at the helmet, is it the military commander?He is really bad.
The range of the cannon just now was only a dozen steps away. If it weren't for shooting from top to bottom, it would be a problem whether it could save lives.
Although the machine cannon was just a scary thing, the effect was excellent. The Song army fought desperately to steal the body of the commander and retreated far away, looking at the fire break in the enemy's hands in fear.
On which side did the enemy turn the guns? The Song army retreated like a tide, which was equivalent to using only three people to guard a section of a hundred-step ridge.
Liu Su's exquisite armor blocked most of the caltrops, but a few on his face took his life, and he also became the best in the battle of Shuichuan!A military-level commander who died in battle.
