Chapter 712 Leave Enough Gifts When You Go(1/2)
Seeing Jin Huang and others coming towards him, Fangyuan jumped off his horse, stuck the bloody knife on the ground, held the horse, and looked at Jin Huang and others.
It may seem like you are standing casually, but you are very particular about it.
If Jin Huang had any doubts about him and even wanted to deal with him, this action would allow him to learn how to ride a horse in the shortest possible time and then drive away.
Look at what he saw about people like Jin Huang. They are brave when they are brave, but when it comes to equestrian skills, that's all.
But this is the last option.
Fangyuan feels that although the world is big, there don't seem to be many places where he can go.
Life in the Liao-controlled areas was not easy, whether you were a soldier or a commoner.
Although the days spent hanging out with people from the Song Dynasty were only a few short days, Fangyuan still felt something different.
Very relaxing feeling.
Between people, there is less calculation and more mutual help and support.
Fangyuan is also very happy.
Looking back on the way back, I suddenly felt like I was in another world.
Letting a capable person lead them can also increase their chances of survival.
Thousands of soldiers who poured into the city were on the road to heaven and earth, but there was no way to enter the earth.
Many new soldiers have no idea about the past that was extremely tragic for military commanders.
It was indeed a lifetime ago. Fangyuan died from now on, and from now on, he will be Yuan Fang.
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shuguang whipped the soldier so hard that he fell off his horse.
They were so impressed by the ability that Fangyuan showed just now.
"I don't have enough troops under my general's command, so I would like to ask the general to bring a group of troops to join me!"
At the third watch, the south gate opened quietly, and the soldiers in the city quietly left the city.
"This retreat will take hundreds of miles!" Wu Zheng felt a little regretful: "We finally regained the place."
Explosions will sound every once in a while, and then the fire will spread more violently in all directions.
If Fangyuan hadn't killed several Liao cavalry just like thunder, the losses would have been even greater.
"As long as we live!" Zhang Ren turned around and strode towards the city.
"If you save people and lose land, you will gain both people and land. If you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land!" Zhang Rendao: "Have you forgotten the chief minister's admonition again? Everything must be people-oriented. If there are people, everything can be done."
This round of attacks by Liao cavalry scouts did not last long, but it still caused dozens of casualties.
Unlike the losses of other armies, which he didn't feel distressed at all, these three thousand people were all from his Zhou Family Fort. More than 90% of them were named Zhou. They had broken bones and tendons. This was really a shock.
Every family needs to be filial.
Fangyuan didn't quite understand what Jin Huang said, but he still said loudly: "Yuan Fang is willing to attach the tail of the county official to go through fire and water, no matter what."
It's just that I haven't studied, so I still don't understand the meaning here.
The sound of explosions rang out from all the city gates.
Jin Huang turned around and looked at the regiment behind him and said loudly: "Yuan Fang is temporarily the deputy envoy of the regiment and will lead you and others to escort the people all the way south. Are you willing?"
Drive out the Tartars and restore China!
What did the chief minister of the Song Dynasty mean when he said this?
Although Zhang Ren looked covered in smoke and haggard, the miraculous thing was that no matter whether it was the Liao people's throwing cannons, medicine bags or bows and arrows, he was not injured at all.
Such obstacles can be broken down with a poke, and scattered with a poke. They are completely the same thing.
In the past few days, although the servant army suffered heavy casualties, it was not easy in the city.
As for Song King Zhao Suo?
Pushing the guard away, Zhou Shuguang broke into the tent.
Zhou Shuguang stared at Yongqiu City with his mouth agape.
In the past few days, the Liao army has only provided long-range strike support to the servant army.
These days, he is anxious and red-eyed.
"Yes, they were injured too seriously. Even if they survive, they will be unable to do without the care of others in their future lives. They are willing to use their lives to buy a better future for their families!" Wu Zheng took a deep breath.
Fang Yuan carried a bow on his back, a knife on his shoulder, and led the horse. Sitting immediately were two half-sized dolls, both of whom were so confused that they had no noses or eyes, but they all smiled happily.
"Oops!" A soldier next to Zhou Shuguang stared wide-eyed, "This is going to burn the city. If explosives are placed on the city gate and the door collapses, how will those of us who entered get out?"
"And Ren Zhong will lead them away from us!" Wu Zheng said: "I was opposed to the commander's original deployment, but now I really understand your intention."
Let’s slowly ask the county magistrate for advice!
Thinking of the Yongqiu Song general Zhang Ren, Yuan Fang's heart twitched slightly.
Zhang Ren placed thousands of kilograms of gunpowder under this open space.
"Thank you, General!" Zhou Shuguang was overjoyed. His goal of being here today was achieved.
Yelu Chengcai thought for a while and said: "The King of Song still has five thousand soldiers and horses with him. Go and tell Zhao Suo that these people will be under your command."
The top priority now is to guard against another Liao scout coming.
The raging fire drove them to the very center of the city, where there was only a piece of pure land.
Jin Huang's face showed a look of relief, "You are not working for Jin, but for the Song Dynasty. You have good skills, so naturally you have to use them in the right place to drive out the Tartars and restore China. A good man should have this goal.
And work hard to move forward.”
Fangyuan took a deep breath, loosened the reins of the horse, crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, and bowed to the ground, "Yuan Fang is willing to do the hard work of a dog and horse for the county."
I still remember the first time everyone took off their clothes and took a bath together in the bathhouse. Wu Zheng saw Zhang Ren's naked body. What made him dumbfounded was that this brave general who was famous among the White Feather Army didn't even have a single scratch on his body.
No.
Then, all of a sudden, the lanterns went out, the bonfires went out, and the sound of drums and trumpets disappeared. Yongqiu City, which was still alive before, seemed to have died all of a sudden.
He shook his head vigorously to get some thoughts out of his mind.
"Yuan Zhuangshi, it's okay if you want to leave!" Jin Huang continued as Fang Yuan remained silent.
"Are you all ready?" Zhang Ren asked.
The number of more than 2,000 soldiers and horses has now been reduced by half. Among them, one-third have been killed in battle.
When enough people gathered here, several seriously injured White Feather Army soldiers hiding underground held hands, smiled at each other, and then lit the gunpowder fuses around them.
There is not much time to grieve,
They dug a big pit in the wasteland, wrapped all the dead one by one in straw mats and put them into the pit, and then piled up soil to make a grave.
Wu Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "The final candidates have been decided."
But there really aren't many ways to deal with the enemy, except running faster and farther south, which will make the opponent more wary.
On top of the city, the silhouettes of people and the bonfire were still there, reflecting on the bodies of the soldiers left behind.
Zhoujiapu's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses. If they can recruit these people into their subordinates, their strength will be restored to its original state. Although they are not as good as those in the past, they can always be tamed by slowly training them.
Countless torches were lit, like a galaxy formed by stars in the sky, spreading towards Yongqiu City from several miles away.
With so many people dead, there must always be some compensation for their families. Otherwise, how can I, the owner of the castle, win people's hearts?
There was a fierce battle during the day, and many city walls were damaged. The soldiers were busy repairing and filling in the damage.
"I hope so!" Zhang Ren said.
If there are too many, it will be a disaster.
Fangyuan was stunned for a while and didn't react.
Accompanied by this explosion, raging fire spread across the city like flowing water.
Yongqiu City was closed.
Seeing that Jinhuang County Master looked very excited every time he read these eight words, Yuan Fang felt that this must be a great thing.
Although sometimes there are some petty little actions, but they only make Fangyuan feel more real.
Generals like them who step out from the ranks step by step, don't all of them have scars one after another?
A strong general must be sent to the army of soldiers,
Now in Jiangning and New Song Dynasty, if you abide by this rule, without tangible military exploits, you can never hope to gain a foothold in the military, and no one will think highly of you.
But this pure land is the final tomb prepared for them.
Yelu Chengcai was half lying on the bed, staring at Zhou Shuguang, and said calmly: "Are you going to tell me that Zhang Ren might run away?"
As for the era when civilian officials dictated the military, it has long since become a thing of the past.
"I have urgent military matters and I need to see the general!" Zhou Shuguang said sternly.
Just concentrate on your work!
