The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 450 Yuan Army Raid and Harassment
The sound of ringing gold was clear and loud, and immediately spread among the group.

All the generals of the She people heard the sound of gold, so they had to lead the horse army to give up the pursuit and turn back.The iron cavalry of the Yuan army didn't look back, and quickly went away along the winding official road, leaving only the yellow dust billowing.

From the contact to the separation of the two armies, it was only a short period of more than ten minutes.The Dazhang River was still flowing, but there were already hundreds of corpses and wounded lying on the ground.

"Military aircraft order, why did you order the withdrawal of troops?"

Some of the Shemin generals who returned to the army galloped up to Wen Tianxiang and asked questions in Hokkien dialect.

Just now they chased the Yuan army's tail, thinking that they could eat this Yuan army.Therefore, the general's tone was very unpleasant.

Wen Tianxiang led troops to fight against Yuan on Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road for many years, but he could barely understand, and said with a calm smile: "The Yuan army just wants to consume our army's strength."

General Shemin was not a reckless man either. Hearing Wen Tianxiang's words, and recalling the Yuan army's actions just now, he suddenly understood.

He scratched his head, smiled apologetically at Wen Tianxiang, and walked towards the army.

These are the generals of the Shemin people. They are very forthright people. They say whatever they think in their hearts, and they know that they are wrong, and they are very straightforward in admitting their mistakes.

Of course, Wen Tianxiang didn't take the general's attitude to heart just now, he just shouted: "Clean the battlefield and move on!"

"Clean the battlefield and move on!"

Next to it, there was an orderly holding a command flag and galloping towards the right side of the army.

Ren Wei looked at the departing Yuan army, continued the previous topic, and asked: "You just said that you need the efforts of the last general to crack the Yuan army's harassment, what should the last general do?"

Wen Tianxiang chuckled and said, "If you were a general, what would you do in the current situation?"

Ren Wei is quite similar to him, both are Confucian generals, but Ren Wei has a calm temperament and is in the prime of life, but Wen Tianxiang also intends to train him.

Now most of the ministers who carried the tripod in the Song Dynasty were old. Although no one mentioned this issue, the entire court had begun to show a lack of success.

Yue Peng is brave and Su Quandang is good at planning, but they are both too young and inexperienced to take on the important task of commanding the entire army.They can be generals, but they cannot be handsome.

God's will is unpredictable, and Wen Tianxiang was also worried that he might encounter accidents at some point, so after leading Ren Wei to Fujian, he often mentioned Ren Wei, meaning to train him as an overtime worker.

Ren Wei pondered slightly, and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to decipher the method of Yuan army cavalry's unrest."

Wen Tianxiang looked at him with a smile.

Ren Weidao: "The reflective shield invented by the emperor has gradually become popular in the army. If it is used, it will definitely make the cavalry of the Yuan army return without success, and they will not be able to rush to our army at all."

"What if it's night?"

"At night, thunderstorms can be planted outside the camp, and the Yuan army can't cause too much trouble to our army."

"Do not."

Wen Tianxiang smiled lightly and shook his head, "The emperor once said to me that marching and fighting is nothing more than a technique of exchanging the smallest force for the greatest loss of the enemy. General Ren, you have a calm personality. This is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage. .We use reflective shields and thunderbolts, but to expose our details in advance, but we can't cause too much damage to the Yuan army. This is the next strategy."

Ren Wei's expression moved slightly, "What does the military order mean?"

Wen Tianxiang said: "Since the Yuan army dared to attack and harass us, why can't we directly attack Huanglong?"

"The military order means that the last general will lead the Flying Army to surprise Yongfu?" Ren Weideng immediately understood.

Wen Tianxiang nodded, "That's right. If you lead an army to attack Yongfu, Yongfu will inevitably be in chaos. If the Yuan army who came out to attack the city at that time receives news, they will inevitably panic. I will lead the army to counterattack them. In this way, Yongfu County may be captured. Next. Take Yongfu, our army will have a foothold in Fuzhou, and then it will be much easier to take Minqing, who is happy to sit in the town himself."

Ren Wei's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and said, "The general understands, thank you for your instruction."

Wen Tianxiang shook his head, "This is not my teaching, if the emperor hadn't said that to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the guts to let you attack Yongfu by surprise."

"Ha ha."

Ren Wei laughed out loud, "Your Majesty is truly gifted, at such a young age, he has such a thorough understanding of the art of war."

Wen Tianxiang looked up at the sky, and muttered in his mouth, "The emperor is the hope of my Great Song Dynasty. When the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, if there is no such eternal emperor as the emperor, it will really die..."

……

Not long after, the She people's soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, burned the corpses to ashes, and the army continued to go along the Dazhang River to Yongfu.

Until the evening, the Yuan army did not attack again.

Wen Tianxiang led the army to camp at the foot of Goutou Mountain on the side of Dazhang River, tens of kilometers away from Yongfu County, with tents standing at the foot of the mountain.

Faint cooking smoke curled up, and the smell of food soon wafted in the barracks.

All the soldiers lined up to receive their meals.

After eating, the scouts rode to the surrounding area of ​​the barracks.Ren Wei met Wen Tianxiang in Wen Tianxiang's tent, and then he also left the camp with the Flying Army.

Nearly [-] soldiers of the Flying Army carried neatly stacked hot air balloons, thunderbolts, dry food, etc., and quickly marched on the steep mountain road of Goutoushan.

Originally, when we were fighting against Dali Zhentian Army in Leizhou, the Flying Army had less than [-] hot air balloons, but when Wen Tianxiang led the army to set off, the number had already reached [-].

As the entire Leizhou was gradually controlled by the Song court and flourished, military factories also took root in various places.The speed of the Song Dynasty's production of ordnance is no longer comparable to before.

When nearly two thousand flying soldiers climbed to the top of Goutou Mountain, the night was completely dark.

Looking down from Goutou Mountain, you can only see the torches swaying in the wind in the military camp.

Ren Wei took the flying soldiers and lay down on the bare rocks on the top of Goutou Mountain.

There are faint stars in the sky.

Surrounded by Ren Wei are a few friends who were familiar with him when he was in the Beggars' Gang. When they recalled their days in the Beggars' Gang, they all felt like a dream.

They suffered a lot from the war, thinking that they would be wandering with the beggar gang for the rest of their lives, but they didn't expect that they would now become the most famous flying army in the Great Song Army.

Late at night, at the foot of the mountain, scouts galloped back to the barracks.

Then, horns sounded in the barracks.

The soldiers hurried out of the camp, and the soldiers in charge of the night watch hurriedly ran to the rear of the barracks outside the barracks to stand ready.

Torches spread everywhere.

Sure enough, the Yuan army took advantage of the night to attack again.

Not long after, horseshoes were heard outside the barracks.

The Yuan army galloped to the front of the barracks under the faint moonlight, but there were not many of them, only about a thousand.

Seeing the torches in the Song Army barracks everywhere outside the camp, these thousands of cavalry did not attack at all, and turned around and turned back outside the barracks.

This made the generals of the She people very angry.

During the day, the soldiers traveled across mountains and rivers, and at night they were harassed by these Yuan troops. It was inevitable that there would be an evil fire from their hearts.

As soon as the Yuan army withdrew, Wen Tianxiang's commander's tent became lively.

Several She people's generals all came to his tent. Someone just entered the tent and saw Wen Tianxiang sitting on a chair, and said angrily: "Military order, those damn Yuan troops have come to harass him again. So Going down, how will our brothers in the army rest? How will we continue our journey tomorrow?"

If they had followed their temperament, they might have led their soldiers to catch up at this time.However, before setting off, the elders of all ethnic groups told them that they must obey the orders of Wen Junji.

"You generals, be safe and don't be impatient."

Wen Tianxiang saw that these generals were furious, but he had a smile on his face, "You used to fight against the Yuan army, haven't you been used to this kind of harassment?"

The generals were slightly taken aback, and then muttered in dissatisfaction, "Military order, you all know that Gao Xing is harassing our army, but you can still laugh?"

Wen Tianxiang said: "Then according to what you generals want, what should we do?"

A general said: "You can ambush the elite soldiers outside the camp. If the Yuan army dares to attack and harass them again, they will be killed bloody!"

"How many elite soldiers are in ambush?" Wen Tianxiang asked again.

These words made the generals of the She people stunned and speechless.

That's right, the Yuan army attacked the camp this time with no more than a thousand people, but who knows how many people they will attack the camp next time?
With fewer people ambushing, it is impossible to stop the strong Yuan army, and if there are too many soldiers, the soldiers will not be able to get a rest, it is better to let the Yuan army harass.

But if it goes on like this, it won't be a problem after all.

The general who spoke just now looked at Wen Tianxiang and said, "Is there nothing you can do if the military plan orders you? We are all rough people with no brains, and we all listen to you!"

Wen Tianxiang chuckled, "All generals, go back and rest first, and we will make arrangements tomorrow."

The generals of the She people look at me and I look at you, and want to say more, but Wen Tianxiang has already lowered his head to read his military manual.

Everyone had no choice but to withdraw from the handsome account.

This means that Wen Tianxiang has a very high reputation among the people. If it were replaced by other generals of the Great Song Dynasty, these generals of the She people would have turned the table at this time.

Gradually, the barracks became quiet again.
