53. The battle of quarrying broke out

So Xu Xian followed Li Xianzhong and Wang Qi to the marching camp.

Sure enough, at this time Yu Yunwen and a group of Huaixi generals were already waiting in the camp.

"Shuai Xu, now that you are back!"

"I will return this big seal to you!"

"As for what you want to do with us!"

"Just do as you please!"

At this time, Yu Yunwen came to Xu Xian holding the seal of his army.

Xu Xian looked around at some of the generals and found that all of them had their heads lowered. They all looked like children who had made mistakes, waiting for their parents to punish them.

"Yuzhong...!"

"No, Yu Shangshu!"

"What's going on here?"

Xu Xian had a smile on his face.

"No need to be pretentious!"

"It was I, Yu Yunwen, who took the lead in playing to His Highness the Prince, Marshal Xu!"

"One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. I am willing to do whatever you want with me, Yu Yunwen. I hope you won't embarrass these brothers!"

Yu Yunwen obviously couldn't bear it anymore.

"Yu Shangshu!"

"Don't you think that I, Xu Xian, am a little too human?"

"As the saying goes, the prime minister's belly can support a boat. How can I, Xu Xian, be that small-bellied person?"

"I know that you impeached me, Xu Xian, just because I, Xu Xian, did have my own selfish interests. That was my fault, and I deserved it!"

"Now when the Tatars invade in large numbers, as every citizen of the Song Dynasty, the most important thing for us is to shoulder the responsibility of our country and our mission and work together to fight against the Tatars. How can we make trouble with each other because of these trivial things?

What about internal strife and self-sacrifice?”

"Why have tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty been humiliated by the Tatars over the years?"

"Is it just caused by internal strife and self-sacrifice?"

"So I, Xu Xian, believe that as long as we all work together and have the heart to eliminate the Tatars and restore the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, our Han Dynasty will be more stable, and we Han people will not be bullied by any foreigners!"

"Yu Shangshu, generals, do you understand?"

Xu Xian spoke and spoke with another impassioned speech.

Xu Xian also knew in his heart that the Song Dynasty was completely hopeless now, so he no longer had the Song Dynasty in his heart, only his own Han people.

In order to unite the Song army and fight against the Tatars with all their strength, Xu Xian of course had to show his courage to everyone. Otherwise, how could he convince the people and be the general marshal of the entire Song army?

"Shuai Xu is indeed very pregnant!"

"It is a blessing for all of our Song Army to have a talented person like Marshal Xu, who is flexible, flexible, wise and decisive, as the head coach of our Song Army!"

"is not that right?"

"Even General Yue was not as good as Marshal Xu!"

"I believe that in the future, under the leadership of Marshal Xu, we will be able to drive the Tatars back to northern Liaoning and completely recover our Song Dynasty, including the sixteen states of Yanyun, the land of Liaohe River, and all the rivers and mountains!"

"yes!"

"With a wise leader like you, Marshal Xu, sitting in the army, it seems that our Song Dynasty is really saved, we are saved!"

Unexpectedly, after Xu Xian said these words, it would be effective for Yu Yunwen and all the generals.

"My fellow soldiers, we are all brothers, and we are all descendants of the Han Dynasty who will share joys and sorrows together in the future. Don't say such unreasonable words!"

"Let's have a drink together!"

"Drink this cup together and go clean up the Tatars on the battlefield!"

Xu Xian said, ordering people to pour the wine one by one, and began to prepare for combat deployment.

Our army of more than 200,000 soldiers guarding the quarry is now divided into three armies: left, center and right.

The Left Army was led by Li Xianzhong and was mainly responsible for the defense and attack on the left bank of Caishi.

The Chinese army is personally led by me, Xu Xian, and Yu Shangshu is the military advisor and chief secretary. He is mainly responsible for the main defense and attack of Caishi Ferry.

The right army is commanded by Wang Qi, who is responsible for the defense of the right side of Caishi and cooperating with the decision-making of the central army.

All frontline soldiers are deployed immediately, and there must be no neglect, otherwise military law will be dealt with.

Xu Xian was naturally familiar with the quarrying situation when he arrived, so when he arrived, he naturally had to make some simple arrangements that he had already planned.

At the same time, after Emperor Wanyan Liang of the Jin Kingdom heard the news of Xu Xian's arrival, he was caught off guard the next day and officially ordered all his troops to cross the river from Caishi Ferry to defeat the Song Dynasty.

After all, most of the Jin soldiers were from the north and were not used to water, and the main force of the navy had already been lost.

In order to allow the soldiers to cross the river smoothly, Wan Yanliang first imitated the method used by Cao Mengde during the Battle of Chibi, connecting the collected boats with iron chains, and prepared to use them to cross the quarry ferry.

In order to prevent the Song army from attacking the ship with fire, Wan Yanliang ordered people to spread a large amount of sand on the ship to make it less likely to catch fire.

After Xu Xian learned the news, he immediately rushed to the ferry and began to block the Jin soldiers from crossing the river.

After all, because this quarry ferry is a relatively narrow place in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the water flow is much faster than that of Chibi Panting. Moreover, Jin Bing laid a lot of fireproof sand and gravel on the boat, making the boat heavy and easy to sink. Naturally,

It also gave Xu Xian more countermeasures.

So Xu Xian ordered his people to prepare several large abandoned ships, filled them with stones, and took advantage of the downward force of the water flow to directly crash into the ships connected by the golden soldiers' iron chains.

After the Jin Bing Company was hit by the Song army's ships, due to their heavy weight and the strong current, the Jin Bing Company's ships immediately tilted.

Xu Xian then ordered people to use trebuchets to attack the Jin soldiers and ships.

The ship itself was hit and had tilted. Under the pouring of countless boulders, the iron chains broke one after another, the hull disintegrated, and finally sank one by one in the river.

Since the Jin Bing's iron cable ship plan was destroyed, the Jin Bing's first crossing of the river naturally ended in failure.

"Wanyan Yuanyi!"

"You bastard!"

"If you hadn't captured the upper reaches of the quarry in the battle at Huaixi, and were captured by the Song people and humiliated by the Song people, which frustrated the morale of the Jin army, how could the Jin country have suffered this time when they crossed the river?

Such a loss!”

"You...do you know your guilt?"

When Wanyan Liang saw that his first attack across the river was frustrated, he was naturally furious, so he found Wanyan Yuanyi, who had been captured, to vent his anger.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

"I am wronged!"

"What an injustice!"

"I was indeed humiliated by the Song army because I underestimated the enemy!"

"But the defeat in the battle of Huaixi was not the fault of the ministers. It was the imperial adviser who mobilized troops without authorization and refused to save me, which is why I was humiliated by the Song people!"

"If the Imperial Guard had not secretly transferred the heavy troops stationed at Juchao Lake, why would I, Wanyan Yuanyi, have been captured by the Song army without reinforcements?"

Wanyan Yuanyi quickly explained to Wanyan Liang.

"asshole!"

"Do you think I don't know?"

"If the Imperial Guard had not foreseen that you would suffer setbacks if you rush forward and underestimate the enemy, and promptly mobilized the main force of the army, otherwise all these elites would have been lost in your hands!"

"How dare you make such quibbles?"

Wan Yanliang shouted sharply.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to the National Master's words!"

"You must never believe that monster monk!"

"He is just a liar, a liar monk who has no moral principles at all!"

Wanyan Yuanyi had no good impression of the monk Fahai, but after experiencing the last incident of being captured by the Song Dynasty, he naturally resented Fahai even more.
