Chapter 195 Battle of Falling Horse City (Part [-])
  Chen Mo didn't say anything. What Yang Minggui did was indeed unethical. If it were him, he wouldn't feel comfortable either.

But he has no choice. He is currently weak and can only take the blame.

Although he was dissatisfied, Yang Minggui was not here, and Lu Yonggang could also see that Chen Mo was pushed out to block the knife.

Chen Mo is young, has great potential, and his future achievements are limitless. If you take all your anger out on him, he will inevitably be resented. There has been no conflict or conflict between him and Chen Mo before, so there is no need to attract hatred. .

Thinking of this, Lu Yonggang took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Vice General Chen, don't take it to heart. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Chen Mo smiled and didn't care.

"In this case, the war is urgent. The Heavenly Master ordered us to capture Yuzhou before winter. Vice General Chen, you have been in Yuzhou for a long time. First, tell everyone what you have learned so far." Lu Yonggang said.

"Does Marshal Lu have a map?" Chen Mo said.

Lu Yonggang raised his hand, and his confidant took out a folded piece of cloth from his arms and spread it out on the table.

Chen Mo approached and said: "We entered Yuzhou in early August. The garrison in Quanyang County had already withdrawn. We successfully captured Quanyang County and then went all the way deep without encountering any resistance on the way. …

Until we arrived at Shiling County, General Yuan was one step ahead of me, but he was ambushed here unexpectedly. He was eventually chased by the Yuzhou Army and died in Luoqing Mountain."

Chen Mo pointed to the location of Tianshui Town and said: "Later I received a request for help from Generals Wang Kai and Liu Fu. They were besieged by the Yuzhou Army at Dongwei Bridge. When I led the army there, I met Xu Jie's troops at the Tianshui Town collided with each other, and after a bloody battle, I beheaded them.

But our troops also suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to retreat. I don’t know what happened after that. Wang Kai and Liu Fu have lost contact. It seems that the situation is more serious than hope."

After saying that, Chen Mo squeezed out two tears and said: "Liang Song has so many tricks up his sleeve and killed me and many other colleagues. He also asked Marshal Lu to avenge them."

When everyone saw this, their expressions were slightly startled. They didn't expect that Chen Mo, at such a young age, was still a man who valued love and righteousness.

Song Niu stepped forward and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, saying, "I will take care of this matter."

"Thank you Song Qushuai." Chen Mo said with cupped hands.

Lu Yonggang connected the route from Shiling County to Tianshui Town, then frowned and said: "This is a very typical one-line sky, such a good ambush place, how could Yang Qushuai be fooled?"

In his opinion, Yuan Youchun was a general under Yang Minggui, so it must have been Yang Minggui's order to go deep into Shiling County.

"I don't know about this. I was cooperating with General Yuan at the time. I didn't have a map in hand, so I didn't know what was going on." Chen Mo said that he was not supposed to know something, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't say anything.

Lu You just made a cross on this route. If we advance along this route, we will have to turn away as many people as we enter.

Afterwards, he stood in front of the map and talked about the advancing routes of the five armies and the deployment of defenses everywhere.

Among them, Song Niu's army was placed in the vanguard position. The reason why Chen Mo's army was not in the lead was not because General Qu Fang looked at his great potential. After all, no one's life matters.

The main thing is that Chen Mo's army is too small, less than [-] people, and there are [-] prisoners among them. The variables are too big, and Lu Yonggang does not dare to take risks.

Chen Mo's army was arranged as auxiliary troops by Lu Yonggang to help clean up the surrounding areas of the battlefield.

That is to say, a handyman.

It's hard and tiring, and no credit has been given. After the city is broken, there will be no resources. The only advantage is that the safety factor is high and you don't have to risk your life.

The main thing is distrust. Although I don’t have any enmity with you, I can do without you.

But Chen Mo was quite satisfied.

Moreover, Chen Mo no longer cooperated in this war, but had to act in full compliance with Lu Yonggang's orders, and he could not refuse.

Afterwards, the details of advancement were discussed in detail. Chen Mo listened quietly without making any remarks.

The discussion lasted for almost half an hour and just ended. Lu Yonggang said seriously: "If I want to win this battle, I hope you will cooperate with me. I will say the ugly things first. Don't blame me for showing no mercy when the time comes." .”

After saying that, he also shook the sword on his waist.

"promise."

Everyone was shocked, responded one after another, and immediately retreated from the military tent.

Lu Yonggang left Chen Mo alone.

Chen Mo bowed his hands to Lu Yonggang: "Shuai Lu has something important to give to the general?"

Lu Yonggang smiled and shook his head and said: "Vice General Chen, Yang Minggui is a thing of the past, and his status in the heart of the Heavenly Master is no longer what it used to be. There is no way out with him. It is better to switch to my command, and I can accept you." As an adopted son, whatever Yang Minggui can give, I can also give, and what he cannot give, I can also give."

The matter of adopting adopted sons was not only common among the Tianshi Army, but also extremely common throughout the Song Dynasty.

And this is not an insult. On the contrary, it is a matter of importance to the general public.

The meaning of the expression is that I will treat you as my own son from now on.

But Chen Mo is obviously not a member of this general public.

Hearing this, Chen Mo felt his heart twitching, and even thought of Lu Bu's words regarding Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father.

Of course, Chen Mo did not refuse directly, but pretended to hesitate, and then declined politely.

Lu Yonggang was not dissatisfied, and said that his words had always worked. As long as Chen Mo thought about it clearly, he could go to him.

"Thank you Lu Shuai for your kindness." After saying that, Chen Mo also exited the tent.

On October [-], after two consecutive days of clear skies, the mountain roads were no longer muddy, and the five armies began to advance into the hinterland of Yuzhou.

Outside the hinterland, there was no resistance from the government and soldiers at all.

At the end of October, the five armies arrived in Tianshui Town.

But the next step is not to go to Yangcheng like Yuan Youchun, but to bypass the dangers of the mountains and rush to Chuima City. Tianshui Town is heavily defended to prevent the enemy from cutting off its retreat.

……

Scouts are equivalent to ancient scouts and are usually served by agile sergeants.

In the Yuzhou army, those who can serve as scouts are all warriors.

With such a large-scale advance by the five armies, how could Liang Song not receive the news?

Even when Liang Song lured the enemy deep into the city, he did not let go of the city. Instead, he asked Xu Jie to defend it.

Now, the Yuzhou army has wiped out several bandit armies in the hinterland and captured more than [-] bandits. The strength of the army has increased dramatically, and Liang Song has no reason to let go of Chuima City.

Directly take the main force to Chuima City for support.

The Xiantian Division arrived at Chuima City in two days. On the next day, a large amount of food, grass and baggage were transported from the rear, and there was no shortage of people coming in and out. Those were the civilians responsible for assisting.

On the top of the city, the Yuzhou army followed the routine, and they were well prepared with rolling wood, stones, kerosene, gold juice, etc., which seemed like a decisive battle.

……

Time passed little by little, and the gorgeous Golden Crow rose into the sky.

Dozens of miles outside the city of Chuima, there are countless Heavenly Master troops marching towards the city, winding for more than ten miles, with no end as far as the eye can see, like a giant black dragon.

The Tianshi army marching on the official road was full of energy and high morale.

Before they transferred from the main battlefield of Fengzhou to Yuzhou, they had never suffered a defeat, so what was in their minds now was all the excitement and excitement of storming into Chuima City and plundering it.

The scouts saw this scene early and hurried back to report it.

In Chuima City, the Yuzhou Army camp stretched for several miles. The city walls were temporarily reinforced and heightened. Groups of Yuzhou Army archers stood on the high walls in preparation.

There is a huge Qingmu military tent in the city. Outside the tent, there are many Xuanbao cavalry and armored soldiers, and the Song military flag is erected in front of the tent. This is Liang Song's big tent.

Liang Song stood in front of the table in the big tent, looking at the map in front of him and arranging his troops on the map.

Captain Shi Meng and General Qin Lang from the personal barracks stood on the left and right.

At this moment, the curtain of the military tent was opened, and a scout hurriedly walked in, then knelt on one knee and said in a loud voice:

"Report, a large number of Heavenly Master thieves were found thirty miles away, approaching Zhuima City."

Liang Song didn't reply, and Shi Meng said, "Let's explore again."

A quarter of an hour later, another scout hurriedly entered the military tent:

"Report, a large number of Heavenly Master thieves appeared twenty miles outside our army's city, estimated to be around [-] troops."

"Let's explore again." Seeing that Liang Song didn't speak, Shi Meng continued.

This time, less than a quarter of an hour later, the scout who had been called out to investigate again ran in:
  "Report, the Heavenly Master bandits are less than ten miles away from our army."

At this time, Liang Song finally spoke, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted in a deep voice: "Although our army suffered a defeat, we won the battle and captured tens of thousands of enemies. The morale of the army is strong, and tens of thousands of people are helping us. This is People and.

Zhuima City is surrounded by mountains on both sides, which is a good location. Winter will start in about a month, so this is the right time. The time, place, and people are all on our side. The bandits have come from afar. They are tired at the moment. They are exhausted and I am full. This battle will be won. "

"Go to the army!"

"promise."

……

Liang Song did not defend the city, but went directly out of the city. The Yuzhou Army camp was suddenly filled with people, and then the camp gate opened wide. The Tianshi Army soldiers who had been captured by Liang Song and the others naturally bore the brunt and were rushed to them by Liang Song. Front.

This group of prisoners did not wear armor after being collected by Liang Song. When they left the city this time, Liang Song only gave them weapons to kill the enemy, not even shields.

Then, behind every five rows of prisoners, stood a row of well-equipped Yuzhou troops, wearing iron armor and holding round shields and broadswords.

"dong dong dong"

On top of the city, Liang Song personally beat the war drum for them.

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

As the drums sounded, countless Yuzhou soldiers above and below the city had already raised their spears and swords high in the air and responded enthusiastically to Liang Song.

After Yuan Youchun and other troops entered Yuzhou before, the crimes they committed in various places in Yuzhou aroused public outrage. They knew the consequences of defeat, and they could only move forward.

"Kill!"

The people standing in the first row were also Yuzhou soldiers, but they were the dead soldiers arranged by Liang Song.

"Kill!"

"Come on!!!"
