I am Da Song

Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Nanjing Nanjing

Yue Fei's attitude was firm, and all the soldiers could only obey orders, ride their horses south, and advance while fighting.

In order to maintain horsepower and enhance combat power, the whole army also fed the war horses directly with the grain they carried, saving a lot of time for eating.

Even Jin Jun can't do this.Since ancient times, spring has been the weakest time for grassland horses.

Only in the Central Plains, at any cost, can the army furnish the horses in the spring and keep the horses fat.

After paying a high price, under the leadership of Yue Fei, this elite cavalry finally displayed its extraordinary combat power.

In just two days, the cavalry traveled more than [-] li and arrived at the East and West Roads of Beijing.

During the period, the iron cavalry was divided into four teams, and the battle was ahead, fighting with dozens of golden men on the way.Because Yue Fei took the lead, and several times pulled the strong and galloped and shot, shot and killed the soldiers of the Jin soldiers holding the flag, and led the crowd to defeat the Jin army.

Therefore, this army can be said to have won many battles and beheaded more than [-] ranks, captured nine flags, and more than [-] horses.

Their war horses ate grain, and their soldiers ate horse meat.The whole army can be said to be full of morale and morale.

When the group arrived at the ancient Bian Canal, Xu Wei pointed to the canal, smiled, and said, "When you get here, you will not be far from Tokyo. If you go up the river, you will be able to reach Tokyo directly."

Obviously, Xu Wei was thinking about leading everyone to Tokyo quickly.I don't want to cross Henan and go down to Yingtianfu in Nanjing.

Zhang Xian said with relief: "Yue Taiwei is right, as long as Tokyo is still holding on, it doesn't make me wait to go to Nanjing for a day."

Yue Fei was firm and resolute, without any wavering, and shouted to the blood-soaked soldiers: "All teams disperse and go to the coast to find ferries and pontoon bridges. If you are hungry and thirsty, you can take the opportunity to fetch water and eat."

Along the way, the soldiers witnessed the bravery and military strategy of the new chief officer and admired him very much.So they scattered without hesitation and explored along the river.

Not long after the cavalry dispersed, the sound of horns sounded from the east side.

Yue Fei, who was fetching water, immediately put away his water bag, mounted his horse with his gun, and galloped towards the place where the horn came from with a group of personal guards.

Soon Yue Fei's fellow villager Xu Qing came up to meet him, and quickly explained: "Taiwei, a group of imperial cavalry and barbarian cavalry were found fighting ahead. Wang Gui has already led people to help."

Yue Fei was delighted, and said: "The iron cavalry of the imperial army dared to fight with the captive cavalry in the open field. It must be the elite of Nanjing. With them as guides, the road to Nanjing will be more convenient for us."

The group continued to ride their horses forward, and saw three cavalrymen chasing each other on the bank of the river, with flags fluttering and arrows flying, and from time to time soldiers from both sides who were hit by the arrows fell off their horses.

The cavalry of the Golden Army was relatively small, and they were obviously at a disadvantage and were fleeing in a hurry.

Yue Fei stationed his horse on a soil slope and carefully observed another group of cavalry that was chasing.The leader is a young general who is skilled in bow and horse. During the chase, he shot arrows several times and hit the heavy armor of the golden army.

Obviously, it is precisely because of his youth and vigor that he has the courage to compete with Jin Jun.

Half an hour later, the galloping swift cavalry stopped in front of Yue Fei.The leading general saluted Yue Fei and said, "My subordinate Zhong Yilang Zhao Zhe pays his respects to the Taiwei."

Yue Fei returned the salute with a masculine and warm smile, and asked, "How is this victory?"

Zhao Zhe's eyes lit up, and he immediately liked him.Because chatting with each other about their achievements and showing off their achievements, this is the habit of generals at the grassroots level.Although this lieutenant held a high position at a young age, it was obvious that he had fought at the grassroots level, and fought on the battlefield with real knives and guns.

"It's good to teach the Taiwei to know that we have captured seven golden heads, one golden flag, and three war horses."

Yue Fei patiently listened to Zhao Zhe's report, and then praised: "Yes, you are brave and good at fighting, and you are commendable for being loyal. Where are you going?"

Zhao Zhe immediately turned back and said, "I report to the Taiwei, I am ordered by the Ningwu Jiedu Envoy to go to the Marshal's Mansion in Hebei to present a book."

In the Song Dynasty, although Jiedushi no longer had real power, it was still a false title of honor to honor the ancestors.Basically, achieving Jiedushi is already the pinnacle of the military commander's career.Can be honored as an envoy.

And Fan Ne, the envoy of Ningwu Jiedu who is stationed in Nanjing, not only has a false title, but also has great authority. He was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei East Road two months ago.

This also means that the armies of Hebei and Hedong are theoretically all under his control.

The last military official with such authority was the great eunuch Tong Guan, who also served as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi and Hedong.

Yue Fei has been in the army in Hebei, and he still knows his immediate superior.This is why he must come to Nanjing.

The top military officer of the Lianghe region cannot be allowed to continue to transfer in. He is a military officer of the Lianghe theater, and he is not stationed in Beijing, but the army is stationed in Nanjing.

If the Jinren didn't retreat, I'm afraid he could continue to go to Hangzhou and Jiangnan.

Yue Fei also turned straight back and said: "I am ordered by the official family to go to Tokyo to serve as the king. There is an appointment by the deputy marshal Zong, so it can be done cheaply. Therefore, I ask you to stop going to the commander's mansion and walk with our army. Take me to Nanjing and join Fan Shi Let’s march into Tokyo together, and serve the country diligently.”

Zhao Zhe saluted with joy, and roared happily: "The last general takes orders."

As a young general who dared to take the initiative to attack the Jin army and cut off the head of a Jin man, Zhao Zhe was extremely courageous.Otherwise, Fan Ne would not have asked him to lead a hundred horsemen to present books to King Kang.

This kind of high-spirited young officer has long been tired of turning all the way, weak and defeated.Therefore, although what Yue Fei said, it is not reasonable to look into it carefully, and he has no right to recruit the troops under the command of Ningwu Jiedushi.

But Zhao Zhe chose to ignore it, and now he just needs an excuse to follow Yue Fei into King Jingqin.

Everyone went south all the way, and Yue Fei got more news from Zhao Zhe.

It turns out that in the city of Nanjing, there are not only Fan Ne, the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, but also Zhao Ye, the governor of the North Road.

At the beginning, the commanders of the four roads were set up, and Zhao Ye, the famous mansion, was the head of the capital of the North Road.The Daming Mansion is also the Beijing of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Ye should have a bloody battle with the Jin army in Beijing and go south to serve the king.

As a result, Zhang Shuye, the governor of the South Road, led his army all the way into Tokyo City, and is now fighting bloody battles.

The governor of the North Road was defeated all the way and withdrew to Nanjing.

Nanjing and Tokyo are connected by the same waterway, which is the Bian River.This Bian River is not only the moat of Tokyo, but also a crucial waterway for water transportation in Tokyo.It is responsible for the transportation of grain in the southeast, and all kinds of local and special products from the southeast enter the capital from here.It can be said that regardless of the government and the people in the capital, all the necessities of life must be supplied by the water transport of the Bianhe River.

If Fan Ne, the envoy of Xuanfu in Hedong and Hebei, also brought his troops into the capital, it would be much more convenient than Fan Zhixu, envoy of Xuanfu in Shanxi.

There is no need for a 20 army, as long as there are [-] cavalry marching northwest along the Bian River, stationed [-] miles outside Tokyo, setting up camps widely, deep ditches and solid fortifications, strictly guarding against death and threatening the flanks of the Jin army.The defensive pressure of Tokyo City can be reduced by [-]%.
