At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 109 Mentality

At the Sanchakou, the Majin River in the Dunhe River merges into the Lanxi River. The river surface is wide, but not deep, and the water flow is slow. Arahan built a pontoon bridge at Heiyu Ferry three miles below.

In order to ensure the food route back, Arahan mobilized more than 100 large and small ships and more than a thousand naval troops to guard here.

At this time, a small boat was swimming on the Makin River. On the boat, one person was rocking the oar, four were rowing, and two were constantly looking around.

When the weather is calm and the sea is calm, the soldiers naturally relax.

"Brothers, why don't you go back to camp for a drink?"

"Go for the flower wine, but don't talk about the plain wine."

"Do you want to drink the foot-washing water from the camp prostitute?"

Hahaha, the river is filled with a happy atmosphere and a harmonious scene.

Suddenly, a Yuan soldier looked upstream and screamed: "Southern Army~"

As soon as the words fell, a rain of arrows hit.

The vision at night is not good. When I saw it, I was already close. The navy had no armor or light armor. The seven Yuan soldiers were shot into hedgehogs immediately.

Hundreds of boats came quickly, and some Song troops jumped on board, threw the bodies into the water, took over the boats, and followed the army forward.

In the rear, the patrol ship of the Yuan Army did not hear the sound of the gong ahead, and immediately rang the gong.

The sound of gongs sounded one after another and spread into the water village in a moment.

Li Li, the leader of the Qianhu Army, pushed away the camp prostitute in his arms, hurried out of the camp with his clothes, and shouted: "Come here, give the order for the whole army to prepare for war."

It doesn't matter if there is a false alarm, it is better than being stabbed in the gut by Song Jun.

It has to be said that Li Li has learned a lot after following Liu Zheng for many years.

Just as he jumped on the warship, a horse galloped over and shouted: "Every household has an order..."

Boom~
Li Li was startled and asked: "Where is the thunder?"

The messenger shouted: "The southern troops are making a surprise attack, and Wanhu ordered the navy to come ashore to support us."

Li Li shouted: "Hurry up and report to Wanhu. The southern soldiers want to cut off the pontoon bridge. I will lead the troops to protect the bridge and ask Wanhu to cross the river quickly."

After ordering the troops to turn around, Li Li led the troops out of the camp and boarded the ship. When they entered the river, the Song army was already coming towards them.

"Kill!" In the roar, a rain of arrows rained down.

In less than two rounds, the ships of the Song army had already collided with the Yuan ship. The crudely built Yuan ship broke immediately, while the Song ship was also damaged.

Join the gang and fight together.

After a while, the water surface was dyed red.

Suddenly, there was a bright light on the water. When Li Li looked back, his gallbladder and liver were split.

It turned out that the Song army had set up hundreds of wooden rafts and piled firewood on them. At this time, they were all lit and they were rushing straight towards the pontoon bridge downstream.

"Block, block!" Li Li shouted wildly.

How to stop it?
As the wooden raft approached, all the Song troops entered the water. They did not need to control it and rushed to the pontoon bridge by the current.

By the time Arahan arrived at the river with more than 4000 remaining soldiers, there were seven or eight fires on the pontoon bridge that could no longer be extinguished.

The Yuan army had been smashed to pieces and was unable to support the army across the river.

"Go downstream!" Arahan ordered.

Downstream, there are many naval forces of the Yuan Army stationed everywhere, so they can naturally help them cross the river.

But the Yuan army had just changed direction, and the Song army had already surrounded them from downstream.

Since he wants to annihilate them all, Jiang Zheng will naturally not leave any loopholes.

"Kill him!" Arahan ordered.

The Yuan army knew that their way out was downstream and charged immediately. However, a thunderbolt fell on their heads and scattered on the spot.

The whole army was frightened and did not dare to move forward. Arahan had no choice but to gather the whole army and run upriver.

The smarter ones broke away from the large army and hid in the darkness, while those who were weak and not smart enough had no choice but to kneel down and ask for surrender.

As he ran, Arahan found that there were fewer and fewer soldiers behind him. By daybreak, there were only 800 people left around him.

Half of them had lost their weapons, and they didn't even have a grain of rice with them. When Ala found a village not far away, he immediately led his troops and rushed there.

When we got closer, there was not even a single person, let alone a dog.

Seeing that the soldiers behind him were hungry and exhausted, Arakhan had no choice but to order the horse to be killed.

The meat had just been taken out of the pot, but before it was boiled, a shout was heard, and a large army of Song troops came out to kill them.

"Let's go!" Arahan picked up a piece of meat, mounted his horse and left.It's just a night of running around, and people can still persevere, but horses really can't run anymore.

Song Jun didn't come up to fight, but stayed behind far away, and all those who were alone were tied up.

relax and happy.

At the foot of Wushi Mountain, Li Li knelt down and said: "Li Li, the guilty minister, begs to surrender."

Commander Ren Jiasheng passed over the hundreds of soldiers and turned around and said: "Speed ​​up the pace, we must capture the entire territory of Yanzhou."

Arakhan retreated hastily, and the Yuan army was almost wiped out. It was a great opportunity to capture Yanzhou. Ren Jiasheng had snatched the vanguard position and was about to make a contribution. How could he be delayed by more than a hundred prisoners?

"Wei!" the soldiers shouted loudly.

Working all night, I didn't feel tired at all.

Seeing the Song army drifting away, Li Li was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

At this time, outside Dexing County, Atahai had just led the army out of the camp, and a horse galloped over, shouting: "The Prime Minister has an urgent order!"

Atahai read the letter and immediately ordered his troops to retreat without any further hesitation.

The deputy general immediately objected and said: "General, the morale of the whole army is high and we are about to break the city. How can we leave so easily?"

Atahai said: "The prime minister has suffered many losses and Lin'an is empty. The Song army will definitely take advantage of the situation and advance. If there is another mistake in the headquarters, everything will be in danger. The ten years of achievements of the country will be in vain!"

He didn't know yet that Arakan underestimated the enemy and risked his entire army being annihilated, otherwise he would be even more worried.

When the Song army captured Yanzhou, it formed a semi-siege of Lin'an, and the restoration of the old capital was just around the corner.

"only……"

"This is a military order!" Atahai didn't want to explain too much and shouted: "Send an order to the entire army to withdraw to Huizhou and abandon all the equipment."

When the military order was conveyed, the entire army was in an uproar, but Atahai was unmoved and insisted on retreating.

On the top of the city, everyone was puzzled when they saw the Yuan army turning around and returning to camp.

"Commander, is it possible that the Tartars have a trick?" Commander Wu Dahong asked.

"No matter what, we will guard the city, and the Tartar dogs will naturally be unable to do anything." Lu Wentao subconsciously touched his bald head, but it was blocked by his helmet, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Wu Dahong said: "I'm afraid that the Tartar dogs will set up an ambush on the road, and the reinforcements will be unprepared and suffer heavy losses."

"It doesn't matter, the deputy general manager will definitely make arrangements." Lu Wentao replied.

No matter what, he was lucky to be able to defend the city, and he couldn't think about anything else.

In Xi'an County, Wu Chifei was finally picked out.

He was hit by six arrows, three knives, and no gun. He only had one breath left. Whether he survived or not depended on luck.

"Carry him down for treatment." Jiang Zheng sighed and said, "I sent orders to all the troops, but some prisoners had their thumbs cut off and were forced to do hard labor to atone for their sins."

You can't use a weapon without a thumb, so don't worry about rebellion.

"Send another report and ask the court to send officials, not only to Quzhou, but also to Yanzhou." After speaking, Jiang Zheng looked into the city and sighed: "The people are suffering, so we should be exempted from rent and taxes for two years."

Zhu Ye, who had been burying his head in the record, raised his head and said, "Will the army cross the river immediately?"

Jiang Zheng said: "After days of marching, we are exhausted. Let's rest tonight and set off tomorrow morning."

Zhu Ye said: "I'm afraid that reinforcements from the Tartars will arrive, which will cause many changes."

Jiang Zheng said: "In this raid, not many sky mines were used, and the stock was sufficient, so some obstacles are not a concern."

He was not as prodigal as Zhang Shijie. He used more than half of the gunpowder at once, leaving only a few hundred thunderbolts.

Therefore, Zhang Shijie could only follow Boyan and arrived at Kuaiji City step by step.

The Yuan army had rested for two days. What needed to be loaded onto ships had been loaded onto ships, and everything that needed to be packed was carried on their backs.

"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Hongfan came over coughing and said: "Prime Minister, there are still two thousand stones of grain and grass left in the warehouse. I want to distribute it to the people. I hope the Prime Minister will approve it."

"Yes." Boyan agreed immediately.

Whether Boyan was in charge or Zhang Hongfan stayed behind, the military discipline of the Yuan army was very strict, they did not disturb the people, and they did not prohibit people from entering and leaving for business, so they had a good reputation.

At this time, they heard that the Yuan army was distributing food. The people immediately shouted "The prime minister will live a long life" and helped the old and the young to receive the food.

Listening to the cheers in the city, Boyan couldn't help but sigh: "If it is like this everywhere, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?"

Lu Wenhuan replied: "All ministries are arrogant and indulgent, so they are not the masters of the world!"

In the final analysis, the Yuan army was frustrated, but they still did not regard themselves as masters, and still had the mentality of a conqueror.
