A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1091: Carrying the coffin into battle

In Dingzhou City, the infantry gathered from various places have completed their repairs.

The army of the Song Dynasty was stationed everywhere and was mobilized almost every few years, from south to north, making the army exhausted.

Since the year before last, the situation has gotten better.

The infantrymen on Hebei Road had already gathered here. After the cavalry led by Han Qi arrived, they were waiting for orders.

In the state government office, Han Qi, Shen An and others, who had just come out of the shower, met with several plainclothes men.

"The secret agent of the Imperial City has met Prime Minister Han and met... County Duke Shen..."

Most of these men were injured, and one of them lost his right arm.

Han Qi had not led an army for many years, so when he saw this, he asked: "Is there any enemy situation?"

The spy said: "Yes, when we get the news, more than 50,000 Liao troops have arrived..."

"where?"

Han Qi spread out the map on the table and asked with sharp eyes.

The spy came over, pointed to a place and said: "I will follow you all the way. After the enemy bypasses Dafang Mountain, I will come back to report..."

"Dafangshan..."

Han Qi moved his fingers slowly on the map, "On the left is Xiongzhou, but the enemy army bypassed Dafang Mountain, which shows that they are not going to Xiongzhou..."

Shen An walked over, looked at the map, and said, "Baozhou!"

Han Qi was waiting for this sentence and said: "Yes, it's Baozhou!"

At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by a famous general and punched the table.

The table was knocked down by his punch. Han Qi felt the strength spreading all over his body and ordered: "According to the distance, the enemy army must have approached Yizhou. We must hurry and get there before the enemy army attacks Baozhou." , attack! attack!”

Han Qi knocked down the table with one punch. He felt that all his martial arts skills had returned, and he wished he could go into battle and try his sword skills right away.

He looked at Shen An, "What do An Bei think?"

He even knew how to ask my opinion... It seems that Lao Han has changed a lot.

Shen An said: "The scouts will set off immediately to warn Baozhou, and the brigade will set off later."

Someone asked in confusion: "Mr. Shen, why don't the cavalry brigade keep up? With this cavalry brigade, Baozhou City will be more secure, right?"

"Yes! With this new force, it will be difficult for the Liao army to capture Baozhou City."

Han Qi was also looking at Shen An. In the past few years, he has been reflecting on the defeat in the northwest and thinking about ways to fight, but in the end it was just talk on paper.

The person with the most practical combat experience during this trip was Shen An, and Shen An also defeated the Liao people many times. It was Han Qi who relied on him.

"What about the infantry?"

Shen An picked up the map from the ground and discovered that a leg had been broken on the table. He couldn't help but glance at Han Qi.

Old Han, Guoguo could knock down such a table with one punch.

He picked up the map, spread it on the desk, and drew a line from Dingzhou to Baozhou. "Most of the Liao army is cavalry and are good at raids. If all our cavalry reinforces Baozhou, the infantry will follow this line." march……"

He looked up at Han Qi and said, "If the Liao army surrounds Baozhou and the main force goes south to attack our infantry..."

"this……"

Han Qi's eyes narrowed, "A surprise attack...a half-way surprise attack. If we are caught off guard, our infantry may collapse..."

If it was infantry vs. infantry, the Song Dynasty was really not afraid of the Liao people, but the enemy troops were all cavalry!

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and someone said: "Is the enemy afraid of not knowing it? Besides, our army's scouts are densely packed along this way..."

Shen An looked at the man who spoke, frowned and said: "If the enemy troops raid Baozhou, if they find that our troops have been prepared, they will surround them without attacking. The main force will go south to seek a decisive battle with our troops... They will send out rangers along the way. The scouts who intercepted our army... Do the infantry have to guard against the march all the way?"

"That's not possible." Han Qi also did some research on this. "Being on guard all the way during the march will strain the morale of the army. Once they encounter the enemy, they will collapse."

This is the disadvantage of guarding against thieves for a thousand days.

Shen An felt that Lao Han had really made progress.

Everyone was frightened for a while, and someone raised his hand and said: "Meng Lang, our army has not experienced battle formations for a long time, let alone fought with the Liao army, and is not familiar with the enemy's arrangement... If Lord Shen County were not here today, I am afraid it would have caused a catastrophe. "

Everyone recalled the Battle of Gaoliang River. Once the infantry were defeated, it would be irreversible.

The enemy cavalry took advantage of the situation to pursue them, and few people could escape.

"Mr. Shen is indeed a famous general, I am convinced."

"Ashamed, ashamed." A veteran laughed and said: "County Lord Shen is young, so I always thought that the title of this general was a bit false, but after these words, I feel ashamed of myself."

"Xian County Duke Shen is a famous general personally praised by the late emperor and current officials. He is the only one in the Song Dynasty who has such an opportunity."

It's not that no one thought of this question, it's just that Han Qi was standing there, and no one would take the initiative to raise it when he was unsure.

This is the disadvantage of civilians in charge of the army. In the past, warriors were suppressed and could not speak. Now, although the situation is improving, the power of civilian officials is still there. The veteran who thought of this problem just laughed.

They are all old fritters!

Someone glanced at Han Qi, and then everyone fell silent.

Old Han claims to be a famous general. If we praise Shen An so much, will he feel uncomfortable?

But Han Qi smiled and said: "I have an explanation from the officials before I come out."

Everyone stood with their hands tied, and Han Qi said: "The official said that although Shen An is young, he has fought many times on the battlefield and has never been defeated. You should listen to him more during this trip."

Everyone was envious for a while, thinking that Shen An would probably be a successful person in ten years.

Zaifu, who is in his thirties, tut! It makes people feel envious and jealous!

Han Qi looked at Shen An with a smile, "What you said earlier made me know that Anbei's reputation as a famous general is indeed true. If so, the Song Dynasty will definitely win this battle!"

"The Song Dynasty will definitely win!"

Everyone was excited, and Han Qi ordered: "Send orders to all armies to pack up their baggage and set off immediately. Tell the soldiers that the rest of the journey will not be easy and they must go all out."

"yes."

Arrangements were being made here. Shen An walked up to a few secret spies and said, "You have worked hard along the way. Prime Minister Han will naturally repay you when you come back."

The leading spy choked up and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Shen, but we can't even recover the bodies of those brothers who died in the battle. There were also people who were captured alive by the Liao army and dragged to death by war horses... It sounds so miserable to me." The howl is running for life...I think about it now..."

Shen An patted him on the shoulder and said, "What a man!"

Han Qi also said solemnly: "What a man!"

"Attack!"

"The Liao army is coming, the whole army is attacking!"

"Are you afraid of the Liao army?"

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

After the army was assembled, Han Qi boosted morale in front of the formation and shouted loudly: "In the battle of Yanmen Pass, Yelu Hongji was defeated and vomited blood. He was unwilling to give in, but he only dared to attack... I will take the lead in this battle... Come here." !”

Han Qi turned around and waved. A cart with two horses came slowly.

There was a coffin on the cart.

Damn it!

Shen An was dumbfounded.

Han Qi shouted: "This is the coffin I bought in Dingzhou. If we lose this battle, I will die in front of the battle. I will have no face to return to Beijing and no face to see the people of Bianliang!"

After saying that, he got on the cart and was actually with the coffin.

There was silence in the array, and Shen An shouted: "The Song Dynasty will win!"

The prime minister of the Song Dynasty went to war with a coffin. This desperate spirit made the soldiers of the Song Dynasty go crazy.

Countless arms are waving, countless faces are blushing...

"The Song Dynasty will definitely win!"

"The Song Dynasty will definitely win!"

"Go out...no, attack!"

Han Qi sat next to the coffin, holding the handle of the knife with a determined expression.

If he fails to win this time, he would rather die in the north and hang his head high on the Liao army's spear.

Groups of sergeants passed by him, and countless soldiers cast admiring glances.

"I'm a little excited..." Shen An came over, and Han Qi murmured: "I used to not care about these things or warriors, but at this moment, the soldiers are looking at me with reverence. , at this moment... I am willing to die... on the way to the battle, and die without regrets!"

He turned his head and said to Shen An: "Anbei, if there is any disharmony in this battle, remember... cut off my head and hang it on the big tree facing the north."

Isn't this unlucky?

Shen An was still struggling, but Han Qi said confidently: "Zeng Gongliang killed the enemy, Bao Zheng killed the enemy, Ouyang Xiu's eyes probably can't tell the difference between the enemy and ourselves, Zaifuli, that is, I have never killed the enemy with my own hands. This time If I get the chance, I will definitely kill a few Liao people. Anbei, I have been dancing on the sound of a chicken in the past year. I think it's not bad, so don't stop me."

The prime minister wants to kill the enemy, which is something Shen An likes to hear.

But Han Qi's body shape is a bit disappointing.

Ordinary horses can't carry him, and even if they can, they can't run.

Han Qi smiled bitterly and said: "It's too late to lose some fat now, but I'm very powerful, so I can fight on foot.

Where did you get your confidence?

Shen An shook his head and was about to give advice when Han Qi shouted proudly: "Attack, attack."

The coachman shouted, and the two horses pulled the cart together.

Han Qi waved and said: "Anbei, I'm in the Chinese army, so I'll leave the vanguard."

"good."

The forward is often the most dangerous, but it is also where it is easiest to make meritorious deeds.

Shen An rushed to the front, Han Qi took charge of the middle army, and the army set off in a mighty manner. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

In Dingzhou Prefectural Government Office, an official looked at the table that had fallen to the ground and said displeasedly: "Isn't this table rotten a long time ago? I told you to replace it a long time ago, why didn't anyone listen?"

The junior officials quickly apologized, and the official said angrily: "If any nobleman is lying on it and knocks him down, no one can escape."

Han Qi was the man who almost threw himself into the street. He was so happy watching the army marching all the way.

But in Baozhou, it was peaceful at the moment.

Lu Jie, the prefect of Zhizhou, was composing poems in the Yamen.

"What a poem! What a poem!"

Poems written by literati need to be praised, and it is best if the big names in the industry personally praise them, so that they can be full and hearty.

A group of subordinates were praising, Lu Jie stroked his beard and said humbly: "It's just ordinary..."

Everyone praised them for a while, and someone said: "Zhizhou, now that the Liao people have been dealt with by the Song Dynasty several times, our side will be as stable as Mount Tai in the future."

"Yes!" Lu Jie said with a smile: "The Liao and Xixia people are fighting each other, how can they dare to be enemies of the Song Dynasty? We will mainly encourage farmers and mulberry trees, and also promote education. At least we can serve as officials and benefit one person. yes."

"Zhizhou, there are urgent reports from scouts!"

Urgent shouts came from outside. Lu Jie stroked his beard and said, "Why are you so anxious? Let them go find Yuan Yao."

Yuan Yao was the guard general, and Lu Jie felt that there was nothing wrong with his decision.

"Knowing the state is wise."

"This matter should be handled by Yuan Yao..."

"Get away!"

There was a commotion outside, and then several sergeants rushed in.

"Be bold!"

Lu Jie said angrily: "Take it and say something!"

There were petty officials and followers who were about to take action, and the leading sergeant shouted: "This villain is here under the orders of Prime Minister Han..."

Old Han went into battle supporting the coffin! Where is the monthly ticket?

The third update is here, good night!
