Chapter 7 Urging from Kaifeng Prefecture

"Something is wrong, why didn't you react?"

On the other side of the Fuliang River, Tang Ning hid in a bush and observed the camp of the Jiaozhi army. Nothing had changed, the patrolling soldiers were moving back and forth, and there was no movement except for a squad that came to change guards.

"It seems that Li Changjie is too bearable." Cheng Yang said with emotion: "The words that the old man came up with in person failed to provoke him, this person is really extraordinary." ”

After looking Cheng Yang up and down, Tang Ning asked curiously: "If I write you such a letter one day, will you be angry?" ”

Cheng Yang didn't speak, he grinned. But under the dim moonlight, his teeth looked extraordinary~ gloomy.

"It seems that we can't get any results from squatting here, let's go back." Seeing this, Tang Ning stuck out his tongue. Then he got up and said hello, and a Song army stood up in the bushes, carrying weapons and lining up to return to the camp.

Sighing, Tang Ning also mounted his horse and walked in the direction of the camp.

Originally, this arrangement was quite good, so that a small agitation method made Li Changjie make an irrational move, and then the Song army ambushed here suddenly killed Li Changjie when he attacked the camp.

Even if you can't leave everyone behind, you can still kill the panicked enemy.

However, Li Changjie has indeed lived as a turtle, and he can continue to shrink his head in his shell when he pokes his sore spots. Such an opponent should be wary, if he seizes the opportunity, he will come back with ten times more cruelty.

After the ambush, there was no word for the night. Early the next morning, the regular meeting was held again in the army.

Shenqian, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke, saying that if he waited like this, he didn't know when it would be the end. He felt that the night before yesterday he had been a great success in intercepting and killing the southbound Jiaozhi soldiers on the Fuliang River, and that the Jiaozhi army had suffered a setback, and that it was a good time to attack.

However, Chong Jianzhong disagreed, he thought that Li Changjie couldn't bear it, and he must have some backhand. Once the army rushes forward, it may be caught off guard by the well-prepared Jiaozhi army.

I have to say that what Shenqian and Chong Jianzhong said makes sense. But it is not so easy to choose a suitable countermeasure between the two.

This attack was originally the idea of a surprise attack. But the reaction of the Jiaozhi people was too fast, it is better to say that they have been on guard against the Song army.

On the second day after the army arrived in Yongzhou, they were already fortified on the edge of the Fuliang River.

Plans are always better than changes, and I originally wanted to take them by surprise in the scorching summer, but I didn't expect this confrontation to be autumn.

Therefore, as a last resort, Zhao Xu ordered Zhang Xuan to write an edict to announce to the world, announcing that the Song State had decided to crusade against the brutal and unkind Jiaozhi.

When things turned out like this, it was certainly not what Downing and the Privy Council wanted to see

Target. Moreover, the 50,000 army has been staying in Yongzhou, and it is very cumbersome to deal with eating, drinking, and Lazar, and taking the initiative to attack is already on the table.

But Li Changjie suffered so much humiliation last night, and he didn't take any countermeasures, and sent a messenger to send some food to express his gratitude.

Although the pig was tested and the pig was poisoned after eating the things sent by the Jiaozhi people, it shows the depth of this person's city, and it is just like what Chong Jianzhong said, the Song army rashly crossed the river to attack, and it would be countered by Li Changjie's backhand.

Fang Yong was thinking of sending troops to bypass it, but the Fuliang River was too long, and it was not so easy to go around. Moreover, beyond the confrontation between the two armies, there are also small villages in Jiaozhi.

Unlike the Song army, the bank of the river was deserted, and Jiaozhi sent troops to the south to detour, and no one reported the news.

The Zhenjiang Army, as well as the generals and colonels who led the box soldiers and the forbidden army to gather the number of people, were unsurprisingly divided into two factions in this meeting.

One faction supports Shendive and believes that an active attack is inevitable. Even if it costs something, it can't be delayed any longer.

The other faction is in favor of planting, believing that the time has not yet come, and it needs to be postponed for a while.

Tang Ning didn't announce the results on the spot, only said that he would talk about it tomorrow. However, the angel from Kaifeng made him reluctantly choose to march.

As soon as the envoy arrived at the barracks, he bluntly said that he wanted to find Tang Ning, and then when they met, they began to question why Tang Ning had not moved for a long time.

The army went out on the expedition, ate so much grain and grass, and brought so many people, and always had to make some achievements. But now the Zhenjiang army can't say that it is an achievement, and even Fuliangjiang has not passed, which gives those ministers in the court an excuse to attack Tang Ning.

One by one, it was said that Tang Ning had bad intentions, and it was the plank road that was repaired in the open, and the warehouse was in the dark. Staying here is just to show goodwill to the Cochins. When the conditions are negotiated, he will lead his subordinates to jump back and surrender, and his heart can be punished!

These people don't have any psychological burden at all when they make rumors, and since the incident of beating Ouyang Xiu to pick up ashes came out, they feel that spreading rumors is a very good way.

apologized for the mistake, and the other party had to swallow this breath. But what if it's right?

Even if this will worsen the relationship between the two sides, they have already torn their faces with Tang Ning and made it clear. So in the case of the excitement of the crowd, Zhao Xu had no way to protect Tang Ning even if he wanted to.

Besides, his physical condition has not been very good recently, and he relapsed a while ago, and he lay in bed for three days without getting up. The whole person is very weak, and he no longer wants to play tricks with those ministers.

That's why there is today's angel questioning session, but Zhao Xu still believes in Tang Ning. In addition to asking for sin, he also asked the angel to bring a gift to Tang Ning, and it was a folding fan, on which he still wrote 'I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together'.

Under these circumstances, Tangning had to choose to cross the river to fight.

Chong Jianzhong also knew Tang Ning's difficulties, and did not insist on his own opinion, but began to plan a plan for crossing the river.

After a day of preparation, the Song army organized a river crossing the next day, before dawn.

The moonlight was sprinkled on this land, and it was difficult for Song Jun to cover up his tracks even if he wanted to take advantage of the night. Walking to the center of the river, the Jiaozhi army patrolling here found a dense crowd of Song army ferries.

hurriedly went back to inform Li Changjie, and then Li Changjie began to schedule.

The Cochin soldiers carried their horses to the front like ants, and there was a hillside that the Cochin army had piled up by itself, about two miles long and more than half a man high.

In the middle of the slope, a person's distance is placed to resist the horse, and when they fall into hand-to-hand combat, the Cochin Army has a unique advantage.

The archers stood at the bottom of the slope and threw fire arrows at the Fuliang River, and the dense fire arrows flew into the sky to light up the night, and then fell all over the sky.

Even if the Song army put their shields on top of their heads, hoping to defend against the attack of arrows, many people still fell into the water.

Wearing a suit of armor, falling into the river is no different from dying. Unless the water is good, after falling into the water, hold your breath and take off your armor, so that you can still have a glimmer of life.

The distance of more than ten zhang seemed to be as long as more than ten miles in this case, and finally when the Song army climbed the river, there was still a dirt slope in front of them.

To be honest, Downing almost didn't laugh out loud when he saw this dirt slope.

If it's a battle between cold weapons, this is really effective. But after all, the Jiaozhi people had never really come face to face with gunpowder, and they had no idea that this half-human-high dirt slope was simply a natural bunker for the Song soldiers who had thrown the gunpowder bags past.

When the gunpowder exploded in the position of the Jiaozhi Army, the recruits of the Zhenjiang Army, who were covering their ears and cowering under the dirt slope, saw the stumps and broken arms flying high above their heads, and then fell into the water with a thudding sound.

The rumbling explosion blossomed everywhere in the military formation of the Jiaozhi people, and the Song soldiers who were lying on the riverside and vomiting wildly were also a beautiful scenery.

The god hid down the slope, feeling that something had fallen on his face. Reach out and scratch it, it's wet. When I put it in front of my eyes and took a closer look, I realized that it was a person's eyeball.

He didn't take it seriously, frowning and throwing it aside. But the recruits around him who witnessed everything couldn't bear it anymore, and his stomach churned, and he vomited all over himself with a wow.

Shen Qian grinned at him and said, "It's uncomfortable, isn't it?" ”

The little soldier covered his mouth and nodded vigorously.

Shen Qian showed his white teeth and said: "It's still behind when it's uncomfortable, hurry up now, and when you charge later, if you vomit again, you don't need to ask for your head." ”
