A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The cold wind blew, and the cows and horses neighed uneasily.

"Hurry!"

Qin Zhen was a little anxious and looked back from time to time in the direction of Shenglong City.

A general comforted him: "Military lord, all the troops over there have gone to deal with the military lords. They don't know the details here, so they probably don't dare to come."

All these gold, silver and jewelry have left the city. It can be seen that the dignitaries in the city are panicked. From this, it can be inferred that this result is quite reliable.

"I hope so."

Qin Zhen looked at the long line of carts behind him, thinking about how much the navy could expand after bringing these treasures back.

Some sergeants were still counting the numbers on the cart, reporting back from time to time.

"Silver... about six thousand taels..."

"More than three hundred taels of gold. I don't have a scale. I don't know if it's accurate..."

"Ivory, jewelry..."

"..."

The numbers continue to rise, and so does the spirit of Qin Zhen and the soldiers.

So cool!

Qin Zhen felt that this harassment was all a surprise.

Who knew that the powerful people in Jiaozhi were so timid that they were frightened by the kerosene bombs and gunpowder cans. They were worried that the Song army would attack the city, so they transferred their property.

"When Emperor Zhenzong was here, wasn't it like this in the Song Dynasty? When they heard that the Liao army was coming, all the powerful and powerful businessmen took their property and ran south."

A general probably knew something about the past, and he was telling his colleagues the reason why Jiaozhi's dignitaries fled in haste.

"The richer the people, the more afraid they are. They are the first to run away. People don't get the news and think it has nothing to do with them, so most of them refuse to leave..."

This is true!

Qin Zhen nodded slightly, and someone shouted: "What about Waithao? They said that Waithao was the richest in the Song Dynasty and was the God of Wealth. But Waithao not only did not run away, but also led the army to conquer and charged into battle himself!"

When the general heard this, he said angrily: "Waiting for imperial edicts, waiting for imperial edicts. How many were waiting for imperial edicts in the Song Dynasty?"

"Yes! Dai Zhao strongly advocated the Northern Expedition..."

"There are many people who advocate the Northern Expedition, but most of them are just talking about it, and those who really do it are waiting for the imperial edict."

"..."

When Qin Zhen heard this, he remembered his encounter with Shen An.

It was at the Jinming Pool. Zhao Shu, who was still the prince at the time, went to inspect the navy. Shen An arrived later.

The navy will become another leg of the Song Dynasty!

Shen An's words have been motivating Qin Zhen, making him dare not slack off.

"The navy is going to be the other leg of the Song Dynasty. As Zhao said...why is I feeling guilty? I'm afraid the navy can't compare!"

"You're so scared! We got so much treasure this time, do they have it?"

The Army is the eldest brother, but it is also the most reviled service. In foreign wars, it lost more than it won, which shocked the Song Dynasty. This was the Army of the Song Dynasty.

However, the navy rarely suffered defeats. After the reconstruction, they defeated the Liao navy in one battle and captured many smuggling ships.

And today it’s even better.

Everyone looked at those big cars, their eyes were green and greedy.

"You should be rewarded heavily if you go back, right?"

"Definitely, our navy will build big ships again by then."

Everyone was looking forward to it. Wang Ben, the infantry commander, was waiting in front with his men. Hearing this, he stared at Qin Zhen and asked: "Military leader, I only have more than 500 swordsmen and axemen. Can I expand the number?" I don’t dare to think too much, as long as the number is expanded to a thousand people... is it feasible?"

"The swordsman must be tall, so it's hard to find one!" Qin Zhen had a headache. "And the ones who eat the most in the army are the swordsmen. The more swordsmen there are, the more food and grass they have to bring..."

"I'm not a loser!"

Wang Ben's face turned red, "I know that the swordsman and axemen did not achieve any merit this time, but I would like to ask the commander to look back. As long as there is a chance to kill the enemy, our swordsman and axe team..."

He turned around and shouted: "Brothers, are you afraid of death?"

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

More than five hundred sword and axemen were wearing heavy armor and holding large swords and axes, and their power was astonishing.

Qin Zhen sighed slightly. As for the navy, the most important task at present is to harass Jiaozhi. In the next few years, it should be fighting the Liao army. The swordsmen and axemen are too cumbersome, so there is no need to expand!

He sighed softly, but Wang Ben heard it. He said disappointedly: "Military Commander, is there no hope?"

"Let's see."

Qin Zhen didn't hide it from him, "You know, not everyone in the DPRK and the Central Government agrees with the expansion of the navy. They are watching us. If they find any mistakes, they will try their best to impeach..."

Restrictions and vigilance on warriors are the motto of civil servants. Those who have a deep understanding of the current situation of the Song Dynasty will be better, because they know that the Song Dynasty cannot lack the protection of warriors.

But most of the officials are different. They humiliate the warriors and never fall behind.

"You have to show those people with your military exploits."

Wang Ben picked up his machete and then slammed it down.

"Enemy Cavalry!"

There were exclamations from behind.

Qin Zhen turned around suddenly, and there was a clicking sound on his neck.

More than three hundred horses were galloping towards them.

Most of the Jiaozhi young cavalry should have gone to the west of the city to deal with Chang Jianren, so this should be the final strength.

Can……

"There are many infantry behind!"

From behind, a mass of dark infantry could be seen rushing towards them.

Qin Zhen looked upstream in the distance, but the sail still did not appear.

"How long will it take Chang Jianren to get there?"

"Military Commander, there is still a quarter of an hour."

"A quarter of an hour...that will shed all the blood of the Song Dynasty soldiers."

It seems that the people of Cochin are heartbroken and unwilling to throw away these gold and silver treasures.

Qin Zhen estimated the distance and speed of the two sides and found that his side would never have time to escape to the river.

Interception?

"Military Lord, tens of thousands of people!"

Damn it!

Qin Zhen made a decision instantly, "Abandon the cart and rush the whole army to the river."

When we ran to the river, Chang Jianren's fleet should be here.

It’s just those gold and silver treasures!

Qin Zhen thought of these properties worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and thought of the hope of expanding the navy...

"Hey! Withdraw!"

He stamped his feet hard, but determined.

"Military Lord!"

Wang Ben stopped him, lowered his head and said: "Military Commander, don't you want all this gold and silver?"

Qin Zhen shook his head and said: "If you take a big car too slowly, you will be surrounded."

A general must be decisive, and Qin Zhen is very decisive.

"When the Jiaozhi people find out that Chang Jianren has returned to the army, they will go crazy and attack, so we can only retreat."

He said it very calmly, but his heart was bleeding.

What a great harvest!

Who would be willing to give up just like that?

Look at those soldiers, everyone's eyes are full of reluctance.

Wang Ben, who was about 1.9 meters tall in later generations, suddenly raised his hands and said in a loud voice: "Military Lord, I am willing to lead my troops to intercept the enemy's army!"

"you……"

Qin Zhen shook his head, but before he spoke, Wang Ben said: "How many warships can be built with hundreds of thousands of gold? How many swordsmen and axemen can be fed...Military lord, please order me!"

puff!

Wearing heavy armor, he actually knelt down on one knee.

The swordsman never kneels, because once he kneels, it takes a lot of effort to get up again, and if he fails, he may even hurt his knees.

Even if the emperor is here, the swordsman and axe-hand will not kneel down.

puff!

puff……

All the more than five hundred swordsmen and axe-hands knelt down on one knee.

"Military Commander, I'm waiting for your orders!"

The ground was shaken, and Qin Zhen was also shaken.

He felt his throat was a little dry, "This cannot be tolerated..."

"Military Lord!"

Wang Ben held the big sword with one hand, raised his head and said: "We are just a humble person. Outsiders say that we are just thieves and soldiers. Compared with these property, death is not a pity. But I have confidence..."

He pointed at the enemy troops in front and said: "Xia Guan guarantees that he can lead these brothers to intercept the enemy troops. If he fails, Xia Guan will not come back."

Qin Zhen raised his head and closed his eyes, and made an instant decision, "Okay!"

Any delay at this moment would be a crime, and he had to make a decision.

The swordsmen and axemen can intercept the enemy troops and buy time for the main force to retreat to the river. If something goes wrong, he will still abandon the cart.

This is not cruelty, but the general's calmness...and ruthlessness.

Wang Ben used his right hand to stand up, and the swordsmen and axemen behind him stood up one after another.

The soldiers all knew that the swordsmen and axemen were sacrificing themselves for everyone, and everyone went crazy to beat the cattle and horses pulling the cart, or push the cart behind.

"Be quick, the faster the axe-hands are, the safer they will be."

"Come a few people!"

An ox cart got stuck in a pit, and a group of sergeants rushed over and forcibly lifted the cart out.

Everyone is working hard because they are worried that if they are too late, the Axeman will be wiped out.

Even Qin Zhen was pushing the cart.

He looked back and saw Wang Ben standing in front of the swordsmen and axemen, speaking loudly.

"Brothers, we only have about 500 people. There are tens of thousands of Cochin people coming from the front. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

The sound is neat.

"Afraid of getting upset!" A rude voice made Wang Ben happily say: "Okay."

"Do you know Mo Daoshou?"

This sentence made everyone raise their heads.

That's legendary!

The swordsman of Tang Dynasty!

"They advanced like a wall. No matter whether there were horses or infantry in front of them, they didn't care. They just waved their swords. Under the Mo Dao, both men and horses were shattered!"

Wang Ben shouted: "The former Tang Dynasty had Mo Dao Shou, but what did the Song Dynasty have?"

He slowly turned around and faced the charging cavalry.

He pulled down his visor, and instantly a war machine surrounded by armor appeared.

The swordsmen pulled down their visors and remained silent.

The former Tang Dynasty... it was a dazzling dynasty.

From the humiliation at the founding of the country to the heroism later, there was endless killing in the middle.

The most eye-catching one is Mo Dao.

The Tang Dynasty used Modao to deal with enemy cavalry, and this tradition was inherited by the Song Dynasty.

And because the Song Dynasty lacked war horses, the scale of the sword and axemen was larger and the most brutal.

Because they could not count on cavalry reinforcements, they could only swing their swords and axes numbly until they were knocked down due to exhaustion and overwhelmed by the hooves of the horses.

Therefore, the infantry of the Song Dynasty were truly fearless.

At this moment, more than five hundred swordsmen and axemen were arrayed, armor covering their bodies, and their swords slashing the ground...

The enemy cavalry is approaching, and you can see those ferocious faces and those long knives...

The footsteps of the following infantrymen shook the earth and were breathtaking...

The enemy cavalry approaches...

Wang Ben raised his sword!

"Axeman!"

There were many swords in an instant. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

"Tiger!"

The broadsword slashed down diagonally.

The war horses and enemy troops were stunned!

From the late Tang Dynasty to the present, for more than a hundred years, the martial prowess of the Han people has long been forgotten, so much so that even clowns like Jiaozhi dared to provoke them.

With more than 500 infantry, the enemy believed that just one attack could overwhelm the Song army in front of them.

But all they saw in their eyes was the light of the sword and those indifferent eyes.

The broadsword slashed diagonally, and countless blood arrows were shooting...

Both men and horses were shattered...
