Chapter 147: Jiangzhi in Song Dynasty
It is clearly the hot summer.
It is clearly clear that the sky is clear.
But the atmosphere is terriblely depressed, so depressing that people cannot breathe, it is damp, stuffy, and solemn...
The whole earth seemed to be tightly bound, as quiet as this, only the heavy breathing of soldiers and the snoring of war horses were heard.
Just as the landslides and the earth moves, the ground trembles slightly.
Then the thunder rolled "rumble" in the southeast direction. The thunder sounded dull and rapid, dense, endless, covering up all sounds and suppressing all sounds. There was only "rumble..."
"The Dongping Army is here..." The few You Fang scouts from the farthest whipped the horse under their crotch desperately, galloped back quickly, and neighed while running.
"The Dongping Army is here..." Yanzhou soldiers held the swords, guns, bows, crossbows and shields in their hands tightly, and their fingers turned slightly white because of their force, and their faces were even more solemn and tense. In the sultry weather, they were sweating like rain.
The ground was trembling and the thunder was louder.
A Da Tao slowly appeared on the horizon in the southeast, and then countless five-colored tooth flags were exposed, and then endless military horses were exposed like black clouds. From a distance, countless stars shone on the black background color, crystal clear and dazzling, which was the light reflected in the sunlight of swords, guns, swords, halberds, vests and helmets.
"Rumbling..." The thunder sounded even more, as if it was a storm, the earth was trembling, the war horses were neighing, soldiers were howling, swords and guns were waving, smoke and dust rolled, mountains and thundered.
Finally, I could clearly see a strong man with a golden armor in his height in front of the army horse sitting upright on a tall horse, with his thick and tense arms tightly holding a pole of apricot and Huang Datao. The big Tao clearly embroidered with a purple "Song" character, and he was swaying with the horse.
Not far behind the flag, there was a blue horse galloping, with four hooves flying, long mane flying, and one mane on the horse. The man was wearing bright chain armor, with a short beard on his face, a little dark, his eyes were firm and anxious, and his expression was not angry but powerful. He was the prefect of Dongping, the fourth-rank general of Zhenwei, and the Marquis of Ji Ting, Song Jiang.
However, when Song Shijiang received an urgent report from Dai Zong, he was furious. Qiao Mao, Dongjun, regarded him as a son, and his kindness was as heavy as a mountain. He even agreed with Daqiao. Now he was assassinated by Liu Dai and even led his army to occupy Dongjun. He could not bear it. He immediately ignored it and summoned 100,000 troops and horses to rescue him. It was also a group of rational strategists who were persuaded, so he calmed down a little. He left military advisor Wu Yong and general Guan Sheng to lead the remaining troops of Shi Jin (Shi Jin brought 1,000 people to Jizhou with Xun You), the Mu Hong army of the Ma army, Yang Xiong army of the infantry, and Shi Xiu army guarded Dongping, and all the remaining 80,000 troops came to rescue Dongjun. On the road, he was also irritated that the infantry was not fast, so he simply separated the horses and infantry, and he personally led all the horses to take the lead, and Lu Junyi followed with all the infantry and supplies, food, and equipment.
There were a few exceptions. Just like Wu Song, he should have followed the Second Army of the Infantry Army to follow the General Lu Junyi, but he was also irritable. In Puyang City, he had sworn brothers and sisters Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, especially Sun Erniang, who had saved Wu Song. So he also abandoned his infantry army and led by Deputy General Song Wan and Du Qian, and followed Song Jiang to take the lead. Wu Song was like this, and two heroes followed closely, these two were Lu Zhishen, the chief general of the First Army of the Infantry Army and Dian Wei. As they shouted, "Save the mistress and sworn brothers together, how could the two of the Sa family fall behind?"
Song Shijiang was anxious and galloped at the horse. Seeing that it was three or four miles away from the Yanzhou army, he raised his left hand high and shouted loudly: "Stop!"
In an instant, it was like hitting an invisible embankment, surging, and the sweeping black waves suddenly stopped. The war horse "Heryl" raised its head and shouted, striking thousands of times, shaking the earth; the horse's hooves paused, rolled up smoke and dust, and rolled up to the sky.
A scout from the front army had already shouted: "General, Puyang is still there and has not been captured by Liu Dai's army. Liu Dai's army has gathered its formation and is waiting for battle!"
"Haha...haha...Puyang is still there!" Song Shijiang laughed with his head raised, and his anxious expression swept away.
"Then, Liu Dai! Let me treat you well!" Song Shijiang smiled, his eyes gathered, turned into a sharp blade, and he stared at the boundless and nervous and alert Liu Dai Yanzhou army in front of him, with a domineering spirit and shouted sternly, "Soldiers, rush for me. Kill Liu Dai! Avenge Prefect Qiao!"
"Avenge! Revenge!..." The tens of thousands of horsemen behind him suddenly roared, majestic and mighty, like a tsunami, resounding through the sky. Then the sound of horse hooves made another sound, first soothing, then rapid, the arrow was already on the string and ready to go.
...
At the entrance of Puyang City, more than 10,000 soldiers could not bear such a majestic voice. They all raised their weapons and shouted, cheering and excited.
Da Qiao had already cried into tears, her pear blossoms were covered with rain, her face was covered with crystal tears, her clouds were scattered, her hands supported the battlements, and she kept murmuring: "It's him! It's him!... Daddy, he is here."
She stretched out her jade hand stained with blood and wiped the tears on her face, and turned around and called out: "Hurry, go and tell my dad, reinforcements are coming, Song Jiang is coming..."
...
"Ming Gong...Ming Gong is still anxious..." A clear and tired voice sounded behind Song Shijiang. The man rode his horse closely behind Song Shijiang, with black hair tied casually, elegant and dashing, wearing a wide white dress, thin sweat stains on the white dress, and his face was slightly pale and tired.
Song Shijiang turned his head and looked back at the man, and immediately felt apologized and smiled, "How about Fengxiao? I told Fengxiao to follow someone along the way, and I worked hard to pay filial piety. What should I think Fengxiao should do?"
Guo Jia made a simple bow on the horse's back and replied: "Thank you to Gong Ming for your concern. Jia has nothing to do, so it is natural to follow the Lord.... Gong Ming is very smart and broad-eyed, but seeing that the enemy has already been arranged and prepared well, our army rashly rushed forward, the loss is too great and the gain is not worth the loss."
"That's right, lord..." Chen Gong, the military advisor on the other side, also made a comment, "Lord, Puyang is still alive and has not been captured, so I can feel at ease. Liu Dai, when will the beast ears in the tomb be wiped out? There is no need to march rashly!"
"What about that?" Song Shijiang asked.
Guo Jia raised his chin slightly, smiled and said, "Nothing else, wait for the infantry to arrive."
"Then let that guy Liu Dai go like this today? I feel unwilling!" Song Shijiang's anger was in need of venting.
Guo Jia laughed and said, "How can you let Liu Dai's army go? If you don't encircle and annihilate his army, you must also slapped his spirit and make him unable to recover."
He said seriously: "Lord, there is no need to rush to the formation. Just kill a strong general and lead a partial army to come forward to call the formation. First, our army will raid for a long distance, and the soldiers are tired and can take the opportunity to rest; second, kill the enemy generals, calculate their sharpness, and kill their morale."
"It's reasonable!" Song Shijiang then burst into laughter.
