What came running was not Liangshan soldiers and horses, but the cavalry of the Western Army. e^Look
The cavalry of the Western Army also participated in the battle in this war, but they were involved in siege warfare, and the cavalry was also used as infantry. Later, when Yue Fei robbed the camp and defeated the Western Army, these cavalry did not play any role.
Instead, they fled directly to Puzhou City. When Yue Fei captured Puzhou City, these cavalrymen hurriedly fled Puzhou City with Zhongshi Dao, and now they finally arrived at Fenglingdu.
In addition to the cavalry, there were countless broken soldiers following these cavalry. Although these broken soldiers were exhausted, they used all their strength to escape at this moment. Their escape speed was extremely fast, and they ran away in half a day.
Hundreds of miles.
After arriving at Fenglingdu, the soldiers of the Western Army finally breathed a sigh of relief. This is the largest ferry of the Yellow River. Crossing the river here, they will soon reach the northwest of their hometown. By the time they reach the northwest, they will no longer be afraid of the Liangshan army.
.
Qu Duan carried Zhongshidao to a room, put Zhongshidao down, and then ordered the soldiers to make a pot of hot soup, and asked Zhongshidao to drink some hot soup.
Master Zhong was drowsy and slowly woke up. He looked around and said, "Where is this place?"
When Qu Duan saw Zhong Shidao waking up, he was overjoyed and said: "Commander, this is Fenglingdu already."
Master Zhong was stunned and said: "Have we arrived at Fenglingdu? Where is our army? How many people have followed us?"
Qu Duan had a look of shame on his face and said: "Commander, there are about 50,000 soldiers coming with us."
Zhong Shidao murmured: "Fifty thousand people? That's not bad! By the way, do you know how many enemies are chasing us?"
"This..." Qu Duan was stunned and said, "There are probably more than 10,000 people."
Although the escape was very embarrassing this time, as a famous general in later generations, Qu Duan was also observing the situation of the pursuers when he was escaping. According to his judgment, the pursuers could only be 10,000 at most, and there could never be more.
A mocking smile appeared on Zhong Shidao's face, and he said: "The enemy only has ten thousand people, but they are chasing us and running away. Qu Duan, do you think it's funny or not?"
Qu Duan was speechless. In fact, it was not funny at all. The war was not only calculated by the number of troops. Although the enemy only had 10,000 people, they fought extremely bravely. On the contrary, the Western Army was tired, hungry, and
Without courage, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy no matter how numerous they are.
"Now that the enemy has been chasing us for such a long time, they must be exhausted. We are all exhausted. We have 50,000 people here waiting for work. We should be able to defeat 10,000 enemies. Don't you think so?" Master Zhong said.
.
"The commander is right." Qu Duan thought about it carefully and nodded.
"Order the soldiers to rest on the spot, organize themselves for a while, and wait for the pursuers to arrive. Then after annihilating the pursuers, we can cross the river again! Also, call the generals over. I want to talk to them." Master Zhong said.
Qu Duan immediately went to carry out Zhong Shidao's order. When he asked the soldiers to rest, the soldiers were very dissatisfied. Now the soldiers just wanted to escape and did not want to stay in Fenglingdu. But when Qu Duan said that the enemy only had ten thousand
When they were alone, the soldiers felt relieved. So some people immediately started cooking, and some were already lying down to rest. Of course, some were standing sentry in front to be alert to the arrival of pursuing troops at any time.
After that, Qu Duan called all the generals into Zhong Shidao's room. Zhong Shidao reluctantly sat up, looked at the generals below, and said in his first words: "This battle failed because of my
reason!"
After Zhong Shidao finished speaking, all the generals were stunned and in disbelief.
Qu Duandao said: "Commander, we failed in the battle because our strength was not as good as the enemy's. It has nothing to do with you, Commander."
Zhong Shidao shook his head and said: "Because I don't know clearly about Liangshan's strength, I already have a high regard for them, but I didn't expect that they were no longer grass bandits long ago. They are now real princes who have separated themselves from one side. Because I
Our judgment was wrong, so we advanced rashly and attacked the enemy rashly, resulting in this visit to the shrine."
Everyone didn't really agree with Zhong Shidao. In fact, when they came this time, all the generals did not take Liangshan into their hearts. Therefore, this was not the fault of Zhong Shidao alone, but the fault of the entire Western Army.
Wrong. It became like this. The original 200,000 people
, I wonder if there are 100,000 people who can return to the northwest this time? He already knew about Zhe Keqiu's early escape, but he didn't have much resentment about it. In any case, Zhe Keqiu saved the Zhe family army.
This greatly preserved the strength of the Western Army.
Zhong Shidao added: "For hundreds of years, our Western Army has never been defeated like this! This time, if we escape again, our Western Army's face will be completely lost. You know, there are only 10,000 pursuers.
Fifty thousand of us are going to run away. Is this reasonable? Do you think so?"
The Western generals in the room were extremely indignant. A middle-aged general stood up and said: "Commander, don't worry, we will never escape again! This time we will annihilate all ten thousand of the enemy!"
Zhong Shidao nodded. He carefully identified the person. When he realized that he didn't recognize him, he couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"
The middle-aged general said: "The last general Zhang Jun!"
It turned out that this man was Zhang Jun, one of the four famous resurgence generals in the Southern Song Dynasty. Although he joined the army early, at this time he was only one of the junior generals of the Zhong Family Army, with a very low status. If he hadn't encountered this kind of moment, he might still have
I can't see the face of the cultivator.
Zhong Shidao nodded and said: "Very good, it's good that you have such confidence! The soldiers can rest, but you can't! When the enemy comes, wipe out all the enemies!"
The generals responded with a bang, then Zhong Shidao waved his hand, and they dispersed one after another, came to their own team, and quietly waited for the arrival of the pursuers.
Yue Fei, Zhang Xian and others stayed in Puzhou City for only an hour. During this hour, they took control of Puzhou City, had a full meal and drank some hot water.
Soon, the team gathered again. Yue Fei walked up to the soldiers and said, "Can everyone still move around?"
There was a roar from below: "Yes!"
Yue Fei laughed heartily and said: "If we can move, we will continue to pursue the enemy! What do you think?"
All the soldiers burst into laughter, followed by a chorus of "Okay!"
"In this case, let's continue setting off!" Yue Fei said.
The soldiers had almost no rest. It had been a day and a night, and they continued on their way. They had no horses, so they moved forward entirely on their own feet.
Yue Fei was walking at the front of the team. At this moment, the bright moon was shining brightly, and his mind was full of thoughts.
He was born in a poor peasant family and did not receive much education since he was a child. He had no money to attend school, so he could not take part in the imperial examination, enter officialdom, etc. If he had not come to Hedong, he might still be farming at home. Just like later generations, if not
When the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains, it was impossible for him to join the "Death Army" and become a soldier. He might just remain a farmer for the rest of his life.
Although he is a farmer, his ambitions are not low. He has listened to the legendary stories of those ancient famous generals in the village since he was a child. He also longs to one day be able to conquer the fifty states of Guanshan like those ancient famous generals, to be able to foreign lands, spread the country's prestige in deserts, grasslands, and establish
Immortal achievements.
The bright moon in the sky reminded him of a poem he had heard in the commentary: "The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of clouds, and the wind blows tens of thousands of miles across Yumen Pass." Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Yumen Pass, Yumen Pass has always been the Han people's
The important town in the west was used to resist the enemies in the west. However, since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Xixia people occupied the Hexi Corridor. From then on, there was no longer the word "yumen pass", and yumen pass has disappeared in history.
There is also the often heard saying "As long as the flying generals of Dragon City are there, Huma will not be taught how to cross the Yin Mountain", and now let alone the "Yin Mountain" located on the northern grassland, even the entire Yanyun is a barbarian.
Yes.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the area that the Han people can rule has dropped to a historical low. The territories that should have belonged to the Han people have been occupied by the Hu people. Yue Fei hopes that one day he can lead an army of one million to conquer the territories that once belonged to the Han people.
However, Yue Fei believes that that day is not far away. Dealing with the Western Army of the corrupt imperial court now is the first step for him to realize his dream. From now on, he will move forward step by step, and one day he will finally realize his dream.
"Zhongshi Dao is the number one general in the Western Army. If I were him, I would let the team rest for a while at Fenglingdu, and then wait for work and eliminate our mere 10,000 pursuing troops in one fell swoop! I don't think he would let him either
I'm disappointed, he should be waiting for us there!" Yue Fei said.
"General Yue, if this is the case, does it mean that Fenglingdu is a trap? Do we still want to go to Fenglingdu?" Yang Lin said.
"Go! You must go! The so-called trap depends on what kind of prey you are treating! Digging a small hole in the ground may trap antelopes and hares, but can it trap an elephant? I am afraid that even the tui of an elephant cannot be trapped.
Go down? We are not antelopes or hares, we are elephants, ferocious beasts! I will show him how ridiculous his so-called trap is!" Yue Fei said.
Although he is only 17 years old, just a few days of leading troops in combat has given him a sense of killing and daring, and an aura of "control", as if everything is under his control.
.
"Brother, do you think Marshal Lin is worried about us?" Zhang Xiandao.
"I should be able to do that. Master, he has a very soft heart. I will impress Master this time," Yue Fei said.
When he mentioned Lin Chong, Yue Fei felt very warm in his heart. Although he only got along with Lin Chong for a while, he was deeply moved by Lin Chong's sincerity and Lin Chong's care. When he was with Lin Chong, he was like
It's the same as being with his father Yue He, the same father-son feeling.
"This time we have all switched from reserve service to active service, and our families can actually get land! I am so happy to think about it!" Yue Fei said with a smile.
He didn't think about this problem until he got here. He was very happy in his heart. Zhang Xian next to him was also very happy. He was Yue Fei's childhood friend. His family was the same as Yue Fei's. They were also poor farmers. After coming to Hedong
, although there is land to grow, the land does not belong to him. This time he is completely relieved. Even if he dies in battle, his family will have no worries.
Late that night, Yue Fei's 10,000 troops arrived at Fenglingdu. Without any pause, they went all out to attack the 50,000 Western troops here.
