War drums suddenly sounded, and countless arrows flew from the hillside.
The Haozhou soldiers were at a loss and unprepared. They fell to the ground in unison, and the screams shook the sky and the earth. They were retreating troops from far and near. They were in Xiashi Mountain where the Xia thieves had never appeared, and there were troops stationed in Shouzhou nearby.
Sakon,
How come the thousands of men and horses who were used to intimidate the pursuers into giving up the pursuit were suddenly surprised?
Even if Xia Thief were to fly, he wouldn't be able to come here so quickly!
There is no other explanation, it was done by "one of our own"!
The Haozhou generals vomited blood and called for the sergeants to rely on the carts to defend. But in fact, there were not many generals left, because they were all the targets of the first wave of arrows.
The person is a coquettish person,
Riding on a tall horse, shining with golden light, you will either die, or you will be crushed under the injured horse, screaming in pain. When someone fell under the horse, his legs were crushed.
Another burst of drums sounded, accompanied by the blowing of trumpets.
The Shouzhou sergeant rushed down the hillside with a long spear in hand, and cut two thousand Haozhou soldiers into several pieces. The Haozhou soldiers' spears, rifle bows, armor and other equipment were all on the cart.
After losing their organizational structure, the outcome of the battle can be imagined. After Shan Liang joined the army, he found an alliance with the army.
, killed some of the slower ones, then gathered his troops and took Haozhou
"Quickly, send someone to contact Zhu Yanshou and Shao Shude." Wei Shoujie found a few cronies and asked them to go out separately.
"Zhu Yanshou has probably occupied Huoshan. Let's go there to look for him... Forget it if he can't find it. Let's support ourselves with troops."
"Shao Shude should be in Anfeng. Find him and tell him that we control Xiashi Mountain, Bagong Mountain, and Feishui Floating Bridge. If he attacks Shouzhou, the Huaibei Liang people will not be able to reinforce him. Let's see what conditions he offers.
"Zhu Yanshou also said the same thing. Whoever gives more benefits, we will surrender, and whoever can win, we will help."
The cronies understood and quickly split up. In troubled times, it is the instinct of warlords to support themselves and gain benefits.
It seems that the Liang people are in trouble. Such an important place in Shouchun can definitely be sold at a good price. The difference is that Wei Shoujie is slightly inclined to vote for Yang Xingmi, not Shao Shude or Zhu Yanshou, but Yang Xingmi! Among them!
In other words, only warlords can do it. Jiang Congxu and Hou Yan soon received the news brought back by the defeated troops.
Hou Yan angrily kicked over the Haozhou general who was kneeling in front of him and was crying. The trouble was caused by these fools and the idiots who thought they were smart. Six or seven thousand soldiers and horses guarded Shouchun. If you include the Shouchun Tuantuan Township who had just been recruited.
Husband, no one would be surprised if he pulled her out.
Shao Shude claimed that there were 50,000 troops, which was bullshit! Twenty thousand people were killed, and no more could be allowed.
Do these 20,000 people dare to leave Shouchun alone and continue to pursue them? Of course not. Can we take a detour to the south? Yes. But there are many mountains and forests in the water, and there are no post roads. Not only is it easy to be ambushed, but it is also difficult to walk.
The journey is further, so it’s a waste of time chasing!
Therefore, Shouchun is a must. If you don’t fight, you won’t worry.
But Wei Shoujie actually rebelled, and he attacked the Haozhou soldiers brazenly, beheading hundreds of them, and scattered the remaining soldiers everywhere. Not many of them came back at this time, and most of them had fled to their hometown in Haozhou.
Now there are only a thousand Bian Song Yamen soldiers in the city, plus Jiang Congxu's more than a thousand soldiers and horses. Shouzhou is already in danger. Hou Yan glanced at Jiang Congxu and wondered whether he should just run away and leave Jiang Congxu behind.
The boy is guarding Shouzhou. He can't escape anyway. But after all, he is afraid of military law and dare not make any mistakes.
"Hurry up and conscript everyone who can go to the city. Let's fight." Hou Yan stamped his feet and made up his mind.
Jiang Congxu looked pale and felt anxious.
In the context of the great retreat, Shouzhou has become the front line against the enemy, and can even be said to be the barrier blocking the enemy's rear. How can he not panic when he succeeds to the throne as a young man?
People's hearts, the most important thing is people's hearts. Jiang Congxu really can't tell what everyone is thinking now. He doubts everyone now, and everyone thinks he wants to rebel.
He suddenly thought of his old father who had committed suicide. What would he do if he were still here?
Liang general Zhang Conghui was so arrogant that his father sent people to beat gongs and drums and greet him from left to right. Instead of showing up, he went to the home of He Zangyao, the general of the state, to drink and talk intimately, forcing his father to think that Zhu Quanzhong was plotting against him and to kill all the generals.
Then committed suicide.
Alas, the governor himself was given by Zhu Quanzhong to appease him. Normally, he would just pay it back. Now that people are in confusion, how many people will obey his orders?
Just leave it to fate!
Shao Shude's army marched neither too fast nor too slowly.
The reason for not being slow is to pursue the enemy.
In fact, we have made some gains along the way. After leaving Anfeng, we killed hundreds of enemies and captured more than a thousand in two days. When we arrived not far from Shouchun,
Another batch of Liang Jun's baggage was seized and more than 300 people were captured.
Since the beginning of the pursuit, nearly a thousand enemies have been killed, three to four thousand people captured, tens of thousands of grains obtained, and a certain amount of other military supplies.
Liang Jun's losses had exceeded that of the period when the two sides fought and fought on both sides of the Peishui River.
But they didn't dare to go any faster. The three hundred Guangzhou soldiers who crossed the river in advance were wiped out. They suffered the loss of being ambushed. How could they ignore it?
To put it bluntly, there are still few soldiers and weak strength. This is a flaw and there is nothing we can do about it.
"Commander, there is an envoy from Shouzhou, a man from Wei Shoujie." In the night camp, Chen Cheng and Li Zhong came in to report.
"Whose person? Jiang Congxu?" Shao Shude asked.
"He is the envoy of the state general Wei Shoujie." Chen Cheng explained in a low voice the intricate relationships within Shouzhou, which opened Shao Shude's eyes.
The state is also divided into so many factions and ghosts, snakes and gods.
fight each other,
No one can convince anyone, they can only compromise with each other and divide the territory. When the disaster comes, the internal conflicts can no longer be suppressed, so they break out in full force.
"So, the Haozhou soldiers are finished?" Shao Shude put down the history book in his hand and asked
"The soldiers of Haozhou have been defeated. Now there are only more than two thousand soldiers in Shouzhou City, and people are in panic. It is easy to take them." Chen Cheng said.
"How should we trust them?" Shao Shude asked: "What if it's a fake surrender?"
This is the key." Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Commander, after careful questioning, I learned that the state general Wei Shoujie had sent another envoy to contact Zhu Yanshou.
This is obviously an opportunistic and swaying idea.
"What?" Shao Shude was a little surprised: "Zhu Yanshou, the governor of Luzhou? Yang Xingmi also intervened?"
"Yes." Chen Cheng said, "I heard that the soldiers have arrived near Huoshan."
"Zhu Jing didn't find out?"
"Zhu Jing has gathered all his troops and headed to Shouzhou. I'm afraid he doesn't know yet."
"How many people came from Zhu Yanshou?
"The envoy doesn't know either." Chen Cheng said: "The person who contacted him was Zhu Yanshou's brother-in-law, Wang Peng, who was guarded by the cavalry of Heiyundu."
Black Cloud City, also known as Black Cloud City and Long Sword City, when most people mention it, they refer to the five thousand armored soldiers who are good at wielding heavy swords and mo swords. They are all strong men from Sun Ru's old tribe. They formed an army with them and are in the hands of Yang Xingmi.
The most elite troops.
Qian Liu also built a military and brave city, which was the trump card of the western Zhejiang town. He also relied on Sun Ru to surrender his troops, which shocked both Zhejiang and Zhejiang.
When dark clouds sweep across the south,
They were extremely brave in charging into the battle, and the commanders of all sides, even when the governor trembled when he heard the name of Heiyundu, Wuyongdu was probably the only opponent who could even stand up to them.
In fact, Heiyundu not only has the five thousand heavy infantry, but also has cavalry, but the number is small, only a few thousand cavalry.
The shortage of war horses in the south is like this. Qian Liu has found a place with rich water and grass outside the north gate of Hangzhou to raise horses, but he does not know the number. It should not be as many as the more than 30,000 horses recorded in history. After all, there is still time.
Well, this pasture was used to raise sheep during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Yang Xingmi's subordinates run the ranch,
The biggest one is actually An Renyi of Runzhou. Maybe because his surname is An and his ancestors are Hu people, he is more persistent about this matter. The second one is the ranch run by Yang Xingmi in Guangling. Zhu Yanshou of Luzhou should also have raised a small number of horses.
I have never heard that he is the strongest among the three semi-independent military leaders.
"Since the dark clouds are coming, could it be that Yang Xingmi went on a personal expedition?" Shao Shude was a little unsure. If he went on a personal expedition, Zhu Yanshou's troops and horses along the way would have to be re-evaluated.
"It shouldn't happen," Chen Cheng said:
"When Xingmi was the governor of Luzhou, the battle when he started,
When he fought with Zhang Ao, the governor of Shouzhou, in Chucheng, he sent Tian Chou, Li Shenfu, and Li Xun. In fact, he didn't like to fight personally, and relied more on his generals. Zhu Yanshou, Tian Qin, and An Renyi were the most credited. Li Shenfu, Liu
Wei and others have also made many meritorious deeds. If it were not a life-and-death battle, he would not have fought in person.
"Can you find out who General Heiyundu is?" Shao Shude asked.
"I only know that the person who escorted Wang Peng was Li Hou from the military academy, a native of Caizhou. Li Hou was also a general of Chai Zaiyong. Chai Zaiyong, whose original name was Cun, was from Ruyang, Caizhou."
Chen Cheng replied: "That's all.
Damn it, a bunch of thieves working for Yang Xingmi!
Shao Shude stood up and started walking again. Anyone who knew him well knew that he had to make an important decision, so he didn't say anything and waited quietly.
"The army continues to march north!" Shao Shude made up his mind and said: "The army has enough food and grass for more than twenty days, so it doesn't matter."
In fact, a twenty-day reserve of food and grass is theoretically a bit dangerous. If the war goes unfavorably, we may not be able to run out of food.
"Order Zang Dubao to speed up. We can't reach Anfeng within two days. His military envoys should stop doing this!" Shao Shude hammered the case and said decisively: "Things have changed and I can't wait any longer. Send the order and break camp immediately."
, go north.
Li Zhong and Chen Cheng were both a little surprised. Marching at night would be risky.
"Send the order immediately, without hesitation." Shao Shude raised his voice and said that the sergeants who had just finished dinner received the order quickly. In other words, Shao Shude had gained a lot of prestige recently, and the sergeants finally obeyed, packed up their equipment, and
After gathering food and fodder, they broke camp and set off. A long fire dragon appeared on the west bank of Fei River, meandering towards the north, which was spectacular.
At the same time, the messengers also left the camp. They were going to send an order to the ancient tribe of Zhe Cong, who was still pursuing the Liang army in Huaibei, ordering them to give up the pursuit, and the whole army crossed the Huai River and went south to meet at the foot of Shouzhou City.
Someone came to seize the territory, so Shao Shude used all his available troops.
