Song Dynasty

Chapter 82: Fast as an Arrow ([-])
Hearing this, not only that person, but even Du Shu was shocked.

Originally, seeing the sky was getting late, I thought the troops stopped to find a place to camp.

Immediately, the man stumbled and shouted: "Yozhi, if we walk at night again, we will all be exhausted. Are you going to persuade him not to go anymore, not to go anymore!"

Several other Weizhou officials also complained at the same time, all saying, Brother Yue, Wang Daosi is only willing to listen to you, you have to talk to Xiang!

As we spoke, the sky suddenly darkened, and the winter night came so quickly.

Du Shu was so entangled by everyone, and he was too tired, so he nodded and tried to find Wang Shen in the team.

I saw that Wang Shen was taking off his shoes and socks, and was wiping his feet with a piece of sackcloth.

Seeing Du Shu, he smiled and said: "Brother Yue, after walking for a day and a night, a certain shoe is full of water, and yours must be the same, come and wipe it, or your feet will be soaked. "Getting trench feet is a hassle.

Du Shu explained the reason for his visit, and said, "Daosi, it's getting dark today, should the troops rest for one night? Don't worry, if the left-behind department finds out, I'll be responsible for everything! Anyway, my surname is Du, and the superiors will give me advice." Kind of thin."

Wang Shen shook his head, and said firmly: "Soldiers take obedience as their bounden duty. Since the left-behind division asked our army to arrive at Majiadu within a day, I have to carry it out. Complete the mission without compromise. About, we have discussed it, and I will make decisions about military affairs, and you will not interfere."

Seeing his serious expression, he didn't have the kind and pleasant feeling of the past at all.Suddenly, Du Shu felt that Wang Daosi in front of him was so strange.

Du Shu is kind and likes to compromise, seeing Wang Shen was not convinced, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and said in a negotiating tone: "Dao Si, the other sergeants are fine, after all, they work hard on the school ground every day. Those of us who came from Weizhou are all very old, our blood has weakened, and we can't walk at all. How about you let me and them stay and come to catch up with the troops tomorrow morning? Just give us a few The tent is fine, do you think it will work?"

Ordinarily, this request is not too much, and he should agree to it.

However, Wang Shen shook his head: "No, Deputy Commander Du, don't forget, you are also officers of our Sizhou battalion now. The order from above is that all the Sizhou battalion go to Majiadu and join the former army in the old battalion. Gui Jian, none of you can be missing."

He raised his brows, and his sharp eyes fell on Du Shu: "Deputy Commander Du, this day and night hastily marched. How many of you have mules and horses to ride and soldiers to carry, but still can't walk? You are not allowed to fall behind, or else the military law will be used? "

This gaze is so bright, being stared at by him is like being stabbed by a knife.A chill rose from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, Du Shu remembered that this Wang Daosi was the tiger who charged the battle in Huaixi and took the head of the enemy's general among millions of troops.

Du Shu was annoyed immediately, and shouted: "General Wang, I don't understand why you are in such a hurry, why bother?"

Wang Shen: "Because of the war, because the military situation is on fire. The Jurchens will not fight our army squarely at the stipulated time and place. They may cross the river at any time. The battle situation is changing rapidly, how can there be delay?"

Du Shu: "Alright, alright, even if we are going to fight now, we are powerless and can't help you when we go to the battlefield, so why do you have to bring us here?"

"Because you are also officers, and you also have the responsibility to fight for the country and the nation. The reason is as simple as that. I have made up my mind, so you don't need to say more." Wang Shen waved his hand: "Back off!"

"I'm not leaving!" Du Shu was so angry that his chest heaved uncontrollably.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Shen felt amused: This Du Yuezhi really has a childish temper!However, this person has a pure heart and can be trusted.In this battle, he is a key figure. With him, I am not afraid of being robbed of my achievements.

Yes, that's why Wang Shen wanted to bring Du Shu and others to Majiadu.

In fact, no one knows what will happen tonight better than him, a time traveler.

According to real historical records, in the third year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, on November [-]th, the main force of the left-behind division of Jiankang hurriedly dispatched all the main forces to cross the river after they knew that the Jin army had arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River and thought that the fatigue of the Li Cheng troops of the Jin puppet army could be eliminated. Jiang decisive battle.The battle was in full swing, Wu Shu led the Jurchen brigade to arrive, joined forces with Li Cheng's army, the Song army was defeated, and fled back in a hurry.Fleeing back, but left some ships for the Jin army.

On the night of the [-]th, the Jurchens used the boats abandoned by the Song army to cross the river and went straight to Majiadu.He wanted to take advantage of the low morale of the newly defeated Song Dynasty army and the lack of precautions to sneak attack on the left-behind Si Laoying.

Hearing that the ferry was attacked, Du Chong hurriedly ordered his generals Wang Min and Zhang Chao to lead the army to counterattack.

Both of them are veterans of the Western Army, with rich combat experience, and after Zong Ze's training, they occupied favorable terrain, repelled the Jurchen's attack, and gained a lot.

This is also the Song Army's biggest victory in the Jiankang Defense War, and it is also the only victory.

After the war, Du Chong was ecstatic and rewarded the two generals generously.

It's a pity that on the next third day, the Jin army lined up against the river and pretended to retreat. The Southern Song army was deceived and the defense was lax. The Jin army spies learned that the Southern Song army was unprepared. Get off the horse and go home.

Then, the army of the left-behind division completely collapsed, and Jiankang fell.

The reason why Wang Shen wanted to arrive at Majiadu before tonight was because he wanted to take this great achievement away from Wang Min and Zhang Chao through the foresight of the traversers.Then, firmly guard the ferry and prevent the Jurchens from crossing the river.

According to real historical records, this battle is not difficult.

The enemy only took twenty ships, and they could only transport one thousand soldiers at a time.However, the Majiadu ferry is full of hills. As long as the Song army occupies these strategic points and shoots with a magic arm bow, it can drive the enemy into the water.

This time, Wang Shen also planned to use the tactics recorded in the history books to win the battle.

In this way, not only can he obtain this miraculous achievement, but he can also keep the army and civilians in Jiankang city safe.

His only worry is that he has a low status and no background connections.No matter how great the credit is, it will be divided by the boss if it is not good.

Besides, Du Chong, a traitorous dog, is not so easy to get along with.

Repelling the enemy in Pingyuan Town, An He's meritorious service in beheading Li Yu is not insignificant, but in the end, the imperial court did not award any rewards.This time, I can no longer do this kind of thing of making wedding clothes for others.

As long as Du Shu is around, he is Du Chong's clansman.Even if others want to strive for merit, they will have concerns.

This is also the reason why Wang Shen was determined to get the hated Du Yuezhi to be his second-in-command. He had already thought about this when he knew there was such a person.

When he came to Jinling this time, Wang Shen not only wanted to keep this famous historical city, but also got what he wanted, which was an official position.

Just imagine, if someone wanted to take the credit of the Sizhou Army, would Du Yuezhi, the deputy commander, not jump up and scold his mother?He, Wang Shen, got promoted and made a fortune, so Du Shu naturally couldn't do without a share.

At that time, as long as Du Yuezhi goes out, he will stalk you if he can't be scolded to death.

Therefore, he is the key to this battle, how could he be allowed to stay behind?

The snow is still falling, gradually forming a snow curtain.The Jurchens dislike heat and prefer cold, and this kind of weather is most suitable for them.

It's just that I don't know how far it is from Majiadu now, can the Sizhou Army catch up and grab this great contribution?
When will this damn muddy road come to an end?

"Gu Lie, how are you?"

Wang Shen's eyes fell on Gu Dutou, who was covered in mud. Gu Lie didn't know how many times he fell all day and night, and the iron armor on his body was covered with mud, just like the mudguard of a car that just got out of the muddy water. board as well.

Gu Lie's face, which was as hard as a rock, showed an excited look, and the centipede-like scar on his face jumped suddenly: "General, it seems that Majiadu has arrived."

"What seems to be, when it arrives, it arrives, and if it doesn't arrive, it never arrives."

Gu Lie turned around and pointed to the small hill to the west: "General, it will be clear if you go up and have a look."

At that moment, Wang Shen didn't care to ask any more questions, slipped three times in one step, and used all his strength to climb up the hill, and Du Shu followed closely behind.

As soon as I reached the highest point of the hill, my eyes lit up.Everyone let out a low voice, even Wang Shen, a modern person, was shaken.

It is so spectacular, this is a sea of ​​lights.

However, all eyes are full of complicated lights, spreading westward among the plains and hills below.Some places are dense, some places are sparse, or round or square, and there are light strips connecting each other, which makes Wang Shen return to the modern society in a trance, watching the night view of the city from a height.

That's right, this is the Jiankang left-behind division camp led by Du Chong.The total force reached [-], divided into two battalions, the front army and the middle army, separated by more than ten miles.

The Chinese army is in the far west, with only 1 horses, occupying a smaller area.

The former army is at the feet of Wang Shen and others, with [-] soldiers and horses. It is Du Chong who stayed behind to guard Si Xingyuan, and the territory is very large.

The two big camps are close to the Yangtze River, and the lights illuminate the wide river surface.

"Finally, this road is finally over, and I'm not late!" There was silence in my ears, only the violent wind passing across the field, roaring.Before the Jurchens attacked, the Sizhou Army arrived.

Du Shu couldn't care less about complaining at this time, he was so excited that he couldn't help saying loudly: "Daosi, your Sizhou camp traveled hundreds of miles in a day and a night, it was really as fast as lightning, although the white clothes who flew thousands of miles in the previous life Chen Qingzhi is nothing more than that!"

"What is my Sizhou camp? It's our Sizhou camp. It's the Sizhou camp of our Han nationality." Wang Shen smiled lightly, turned and walked down the hill: "Give me the order, and the whole army will move forward. The army and the main force converge. Step on the white horse and go to report the news, hurry up!"

With an order, all the resting soldiers jumped up from the mud, picked up their weapons, and rushed forward with their heads buried.
