Chapter 420: Fight Hard
Half of the weapons in the hands of these 3,000 cavalrymen were five-barreled revolving fire guns, and the rest were rapid-fire Zhuge crossbows. As soon as the two sides heard the sound of horse hooves, they immediately engaged in battle.
The Shenwei Army riders on the front line were all wearing ultra-thin armor for protection. They charged directly without fear of the Mongolian arrows. Their repeated plowing-like attacks actually disrupted the formation of the 5,000 Mongolian troops.
However, because the Shenwei Army was unfamiliar with the military situation, they quickly retreated after repelling the Mongolian Army, protecting the infantry troops who were deployed in Jinyin Mountain.
When Koushengbuhua received the battle report, he was so angry that he screamed and cursed his cavalry Wanhu as a good-for-nothing. Eight thousand cavalrymen could not defeat a small team of the enemy. They were all good-for-nothings.
Even though he cursed, Tao Buhua knew that the enemy situation had changed and quickly adjusted his deployment. He pulled the infantry in the town out to pursue the Shenwei Army and ordered the reserve troops at the back to come up immediately. He wanted to make a fool of this Shenwei Army.
Because, there are Yu Jie and Zhao Yulin, the two main generals and commanders of the Shenwei Army, and the red-coated cannon that he has been thinking about. He wants to kill Zhao Qier and seize the red-coated cannon of the Shenwei Army.
Zhao Yulin just felt that this trip was a little unusual, but he didn't know that the tone was not intended to target him.
At this time, Zhao Yulin was taking shelter at the saddle in the middle of the mountain ridge, and asked his staff to look for water sources everywhere. The most feared thing for a mountain defense is a lack of water. Once the soldiers knew there was no water, there was no need to fight the battle. Ma Su lost Jieting because Cao's army cut off the water source.
Zhao Yulin wouldn't dare to do such a stupid thing.
After Yu Jie had made all the arrangements, he said very embarrassedly that it was originally a simple matter but he messed it up, causing the third young master to be in danger.
However, Zhao Yulin said lightly that as a soldier, it is inevitable to take risks, because we are shouldering the heavy responsibility of restoring the country.
The troops of Bu Hua Kou Mo Hua approached quickly and surrounded the mountain of gold and silver.
Cao Youliang spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and said with disdain, "That guy really doesn't know his place. If he didn't consider the casualties, he would have led his brothers to charge straight in."
Zhao Yulin saw a large number of Mongolian troops advancing through his telescope and realized that he had been caught by the enemy.
Haha, fortunately Zhao Yulin is a man who doesn’t take risks easily, otherwise, if he was surrounded on the plain outside Dachuan Town, he would be really nervous.
The tone of voice surrounding him aroused his fighting spirit, and the anger in his heart kept rising.
Damn it, why did I let my tone fool me?
Zhao Yulin thought about it and said to Yu Jie, "The enemy is leading us by the nose and mobilizing us."
Why should we let him lead us by the nose?
Yu Jie slapped his head and said: Yes, why should we let him lead us by the nose?
He had a brief discussion with Yu Jie, and while the Mongolian army had not yet surrounded them, he ordered his guards to rush out immediately and pass on the message: counterattack on all fronts.
The report was not wasted: Zhao Yulin's Shenwei Army hurriedly retreated to the hill behind Xiaoli Village, knowing that the Shenwei Army was afraid of being attacked by his cavalry and went to rob the hill. This guy knew that the Shenwei Army was worried about being surrounded, and was overjoyed, which meant that Yu Jie and Zhao Yulin only brought so many people.
This fellow, like Zhao Yulin, quickly ordered the rear troops to follow up, in order to annihilate the advancing Shenwei Army until nothing was left.
However, this guy had not anticipated that Yu Jie thought so highly of this rebel army that he actually sent out a force of over 10,000 people, along with his mortal enemy Zhao Yulin and several of the red cannons he had been dreaming about day and night.
After surrounding Zhao Yulin, the enemy was overjoyed and immediately ordered the reinforcements behind to come up, insisting on taking down the Gold and Silver Mountain and capturing Zhao Yulin alive.
In this way, both sides are ready to fight in Dachuan Town.
Zhao Yulin thought about it for a whole night and felt that Yu Jie was good at planning, but his accuracy and ruthlessness in actual combat were still a little lacking.
He specially called Cao Youliang and Yu Jie to discuss the matter, asking them to go all out. Since the Mongolian army wanted to attack, we should teach them a lesson here.
The main general of the Mongolian army on the opposite side must not do anything rash again.
He had a premonition that a brutal offensive and defensive battle would take place, so he asked Ke Zhenxie to find a cave as a command post to prevent attacks by the Mongolian army.
In Chengdu, at Zhao Yulin's residence, it was evening and Ma Linger had not seen Hu Lan. She was worried that the girl would go and cause trouble after knowing that Zhao Yulin had gone to Jiangdong to command the war. After seeing Wu Yuqi return home, she asked her: Have you seen Hu Lan?
The little girl is very shrewd, don't let her go to Jiangdong to find Brother Yulin secretly.
Wu Yuqi sighed helplessly and said that her sister was truly a deity. Hu Lan had already fled to Jiangdong early in the morning with her guards on a logistics ship.
Ma Linger became anxious and asked her why she didn't stop her?
Isn't this a deliberate attempt to cause trouble for Brother Yulin?
Wu Yuqi rolled her eyes at Ma Ling'er and said, "Brother dotes on her. This little girl is holding a golden signboard like ours. Who among the generals dares to stop her?"
Moreover, she said from the start that she was the Third Young Master's woman and was supposed to take care of her man. Shouldn't those military generals be happy to serve her?
Ma Linger was speechless and felt that she should arrange for someone to take proper care of her. Otherwise, her brother would definitely blame her if anything happened.
Wu Yuqi told her not to worry, there were people following her.
In the Danfeng Garden of Baihuatan, Kuang Sisi was drinking tea with Luo Mingqiu and Eunuch Liu.
The eunuch Liu here is the eunuch who brought back the secret decree from the emperor. After staying in Chengdu for a while, his health recovered . His energetic face made him look like a different person. He was bored and was looking for Kuang Sisi to discuss rescuing the emperor.
Luo Mingqiu was close to the people of Shunfengsi, so he was naturally well-informed. He said that recently a delegation of northern barbarians came to Chengdu to ask for money, demanding living expenses from the government, which made Princess Feiyan very angry and she burst into tears .
Eunuch Liu said angrily that the northern barbarians were so shameless that all the female family members were abused and tortured by them, and were traded like animals. They were not living a life like human beings, and yet they came to Chengdu to ask for living expenses?
Luo Mingqiu also said depressedly: That's right, Princess Feiyan was so angry that she wanted to chop the envoy of the Northern Barbarians, but fortunately she was stopped by Yang Jin, and she gave 300,000 strings of cash to send the envoy away.
Eunuch Liu quickly said that this was a good idea. The envoys from the northern barbarians could not be killed easily. These people were greedy and would eat people without leaving any bones. If we killed their people, they would definitely take double revenge on us who were captured.
Kuang Sisi was intoxicated with her current comfortable life and certainly didn't want anyone to disturb or destroy it. In her heart, she was blaming the eunuch in front of her who had escaped from the official's side, who was obviously coming back to cause trouble.
She took advantage of the opportunity to quickly interject and asked Luo Mingqiu nervously: How is Princess Feiyan doing now? Is she not sick from being angry?
Her good girl is an important person second only to the head of state, and nothing must happen to her.
Luo Mingqiu immediately said that there was no news from the Zhao Mansion that the princess was itchy, so she should be fine.
Alas. Eunuch Liu then sighed and blamed Zhao Yulin, the son-in-law of the emperor, for not sending troops to rescue the emperor. He wanted to talk to Cao Youwen and urge Chengdu to send troops to the Northern Barbarians to bring the emperor back as soon as possible.
This guy thinks of himself as the chief eunuch and the emperor's special envoy.
Kuang Sisi became unhappy and immediately asked them to stop, and tactfully told Eunuch Liu to rest well as his health was more important.
She told the two of them calmly that this was the New Song Dynasty, and the Central Council in the Chengdu court was planning, and they already had a strategy on what to do, so they should not cause trouble.
Kuang Sisi said with a hint of sadness that her Yan Zi had a hard time. She had to deal with the official affairs of the Ministry of Rites of the court at such a young age. The academic affairs alone were enough to keep her busy. Eunuch Liu might not know that the number of students in the New Song Dynasty had increased several times in recent years compared to the period of the Lin'an court.
It is not easy for a good son-in-law of Yulin to manage the country. My brother said it well. It is thousands of miles to the north in the desert. We cannot take the lives of soldiers as a joke. We need to plan long-term to rescue the officials.
At present, the Shenwei Army is fighting in the Central Plains and has once again recaptured a large area of occupied territory. The New Song Kingdom will move forward step by step, and there will always be a day when it will defeat the northern barbarians and save the government.
Luo Mingqiu also kept nodding in agreement. This loyal servant of the official gradually calmed down and suggested going for a walk and having a look. He had visited Guanzhong and Hanzhong, but had not yet been to Cuiping Mountain in Yibin.
Luo Mingqiu happily agreed to be his guide.
Kuang Sisi also said happily that she had not seen her eldest grandson for a long time, and it was a good opportunity to go to Yibin to see her eldest grandson.
Zhao Yulin had no idea that his mother-in-law's family was protecting him and dealing with the eunuch who came back from Mobei, while he was mobilizing troops to fight against Hubili.
Hubili was delighted to learn that Kouqiubuhua had surrounded Zhao Yulin and Yu Jie. He immediately sent troops to Yingzhou according to Kouqiubuhua's advice and planned to have a fierce battle with Zhao Yulin in Dachuan.
Just fight, who’s afraid of who?
Zhao Yulin's military order was also issued, and the East Group and Jiangbei Corps quickly took action. Although some of these soldiers were still in training, they were all preparing for war and set off as soon as they received the order.
The first is Zhou Ping's navy. After receiving a large number of former Song army members, its strength increased dramatically. Zhao Yulin asked Yu Jie to assign him two columns of infantry and take immediate action to attack northward from Huai'an and threaten Xuzhou.
Next was Jianghai. He ordered the central military tent to mobilize troops to form the Jianghai Column, which headed north to threaten Suzhou.
The central army tent sent another message to Lai Chuanfang, telling him that the battle in Yingzhou would definitely tie up Hubili's main force, and the Mongolian army would inevitably form a key defense centered on Xuzhou. The Eastern Group could just seize the opportunity and take Kaifeng.
Miao Gui, who was stationed in Xuzhou, said with emotion that the third young master was using him as bait again. The establishment of the logistics station has been completed, and we should act immediately.
Coach Lai Chuanfang is now more prudent in his work. After he arranged everything, he did not forget to send out the rear guard corps to strengthen the defense of the transportation lines. The curtain was opened on a battle to surprise attack on Kaifeng.
Mengge was very unhappy He believed that as the commander-in-chief, Kouqiubuhua had no authority to set up a battlefield privately and make the entire war zone serve this guy.
Subutai thought that Hubili had seized the opportunity and was right to follow the trend. At present, the commander of the Shenwei Army was surrounded in Dachuan Town, and their generals must be panicked and wanted to go to the king to rescue him.
We just took a bite of them.
Brother Meng asked him where he was chewing?
