Chapter 23 skillfully set up a situation where the enemy was misplaced, breaking the encirclement and suppressing the troops into Ningjin
The land of seven miles, at the speed of a hundred miles a day in Mongolia, that is, half a quarter of an hour. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Under the leadership of Mao Renfeng, the Mongol army soon came to Pingxiang, no need to send someone to see, Kublai Khan just swept and saw that there were still pots and stoves used to cook pots and rice, and the firewood used as fuel in it had not been burned clean, and there were more convenient pits next to it.
Everything you need in a barracks, here's it all!
It's just that here, there is not a single figure.
"Withdrawn?"
Kublai Khan felt a sense of shame of being played, and immediately scolded: "This group of red thieves, I don't know how strong it is, but this nose is quite sensitive." We had just come here and they slipped away!"
Yang Weizhong fell down, lifted the stove, touched the charcoal that was still warm, and said, "About an hour or three ago, they were still here. ”
"Three hours, where did the other party flee?" Kublai Khan asked again.
Yang Weizhong replied: "It was still raining last night, and the ground was very muddy. If the other side withdraws, it will definitely leave traces. We just need to follow the footprints, and we should be able to find each other. ”
"That's so!" Kublai Khan replied immediately, and shouted to those behind him: "Everyone act at once, and there must be no mistake!" The whip struck the horse under the crotch again and again, and immediately caused its hooves to fly towards the distance.
What this Red Phoenix Army did was very harmful, and as a Mongolian prince, he naturally had the obligation to eradicate the root cause.
Yang Weizhong had no choice but to order the rest of the soldiers to follow together to prevent them from falling behind, but Mao Renfeng, who had brought them here, was left here and ignored.
They have already come to Pingxiang, and they have already determined the location of the Red Phoenix Army, so naturally they don't need a guide.
After the whole army left, there was only Mao Renfeng alone in this peaceful township. At this time, there was a person from the shadows, and it was Wang Shijian.
He bowed respectfully to Mao Renfeng and said, "Thank you Brother Ren for your help." All they need to do is run along this road towards the giant deer, and then they will fall into our plan. Even if they reacted, we would have already crossed the continent and marched into Ningjin!"
You must know that the Red Phoenix Army has already planted spies in the Mongolian army, so it knew about the arrival of the Mongolian army early on, so it was one step ahead of time to prepare and arrive at the edge of the mainland.
On the one hand, he ordered his subordinates to advance towards Julu along the coast of the mainland, creating traces of retreat along the way, and on the other hand, he used the boats left by the water bandits in the lake to transport the soldiers across the mainland.
At this moment, the foundation of the Red Phoenix Army is insufficient, and it is really not suitable for a fierce war!
"It's just a small thing. It's just that why did you stay here and never chase after them?" Mao Renfeng's eyes lit up, but he was a little surprised.
He thought that Wang Shiyi would leave with the army because of this, but he didn't expect to stay here?
Wang Shiyi smiled slightly, and then replied: "I have a reason for staying here. And in the future, I'm afraid that I will have to cooperate with you!" Mao Renfeng hesitated for a moment, then generally stretched out his hand to hold it and clenched it tightly.
At this moment, both of them knew in their hearts that from now on, they were afraid that they would live and die together.
............
After traveling for about half a day, Kublai Khan's brows became more and more sad, until he arrived at Julu, but he saw that there was no trace of this small city.
He couldn't help but be furious: "What about the Red Thieves, why haven't I found them all this time?" Kublai Khan had never seen such a cunning man since he led the army a month ago.
This red thief is different from the Jin army, and it is not the same as the army of the Southern Dynasty, just like the loach that is slippery, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be slipped out of its palm, and you can't grasp it at all, so this situation naturally makes it angry.
"Tell my lord, maybe we have been deceived!" Yang Wei suddenly had a thought in his heart, and he opened his mouth and shouted.
Kublai Khan looked sideways, and if he didn't say why, he would reprimand: "You have been deceived?
"Your Highness. Yang Weizhong jumped down from the war horse, pointed to the ground in front of him, and said slowly: "Look at the horseshoe prints on this road." Since Pingxiang, this horseshoe print has been decreasing, until by the time of the giant deer, the horseshoe print is almost completely absent. It is clear that their numbers are gradually decreasing. In this case, it is clear that we are following a lure in order to lure us here and to carry out their trick of concealment. ”
"Are these footprints really decreasing?" Kublai Khan looked at the footprints on the ground in amazement, and then suddenly realized.
Compared to the footprints they had seen in Pingxiang before, many footprints had disappeared along the way, and where they were, the footprints were less than one-tenth of the original.
It's a pity that he was eager to win before, and he didn't carefully check the traces left on the ground, so he was taken into the ditch by the Red Phoenix Army.
Suddenly looking up, Kublai Khan looked around, his eyes full of anxiety: "In that case, where are they?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the other party should be in this swamp. His face suddenly darkened, and Yang Wei pointed to the continent on his side.
Because of the heavy rain for several days before, the water level of this continent has risen by more than half a meter at this moment, and ordinary people will drown if they don't pay attention to it. On the surface of the lake, hundreds of small boats had already rowed across the lake and were running into the distance, and the figures on them seemed to be laughing at them.
"Damn! Damn!
Three times in a row, Kublai Khan was furious and shouted like thunder: "This demon girl dares to scold me like this." When I capture that demon in the future, I will definitely divide her five horses and hang her corpse for public display!"
It's a pity that although the sound is loud, it can never cover the surging waves, and can only watch the boat on the lake float safely by.
Although Kublai Khan had a violent temperament, after all, he was still a veteran of a long war, so he naturally knew that in the absence of a boat, rashly catching up with him was just a way to die.
The water is not as good as the land, it is really difficult to move, and there is no point of strength under the feet, and it is difficult to use it in the hands.
Now, even if he has the ability to defy the sky, he can only watch the Red Phoenix Army leave safely, but he can't do anything about it.
Yang Weizhong persuaded on the side: "Although this time I was escaped by the other party. But there will be a next time, and the next time will definitely be able to completely annihilate the Red Phoenix Army. It's just my lord, what should we do next?"
His chest gradually calmed down, and Kublai Khan calmed down his mood and asked, "Where is Suhuncha now?"
According to the letter, he has arrived in Luoshui. Just waiting to fight with us in the north and south to attack the Red Phoenix Army. Yang Weizhong replied.
However, now, the Red Phoenix Army has already crossed the lake, and their so-called front and rear flanking plan can be said to have completely failed.
Kublai Khan naturally knew this, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and said, "Retreat." Let him follow the original route to the north and continue to pursue the Red Phoenix Army. We withdrew our troops back to Daowu Town first, and sent soldiers to search all the way along the mainland to make sure that the other side did not return. In this way, the other party can be blocked in the north, so that it cannot go south to join the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, we only need to write a letter, and we can let the Great Khan order the Central Plains heroes to annihilate the Red Phoenix Army in one fell swoop. ”
"I'll find out!"
Yang Weizhong replied loudly, and then stepped back and started to work on this matter.
The Red Phoenix Army was not an ordinary thief, not only was it armed with all kinds of firearms, including guns, tiger cannons, and captives, but it was also well-disciplined and skilled, and its commander was also cunning as a fox, and it would take a lot of effort to annihilate such thieves.
It's just that I don't know what this Central Plains, which has not been stable for a long time, will be stirred up by the Red Phoenix Army.
............
"Have all the soldiers been brought over?"
It wasn't until the last group of soldiers came ashore that Xiao Feng soothed his sadness.
Zhao Zhi immediately replied: "Tell the lord, everyone is in order, please instruct us on our next move." ”
This time, he was always nervous about the plan, lest he accidentally show his feet and let others spy on him. Fortunately, thanks to the concerted efforts of the staff members, they were able to escape safely from the Mongols and successfully reach the north shore of the mainland.
"It's good that everybody is safe. ”
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Feng looked at the group of immature soldiers in front of him, and his eyes were also full of pride and pampering: "Just before, the Mongolian army that has always been chasing us has been rid of us. Even if they tried to catch up, it would take at least two days. After all, only by surviving first can we talk about expelling the Tatars and finally realizing the great dream of recovering China. Guys, have you forgotten what the slogan of our Red Phoenix Army is?"
"Purify the fire and burn the world, expel the Tartars!"
The soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison, which immediately made Xiao Feng show a look of relief.
She continued: "That's right. The latter goal cannot be achieved for the time being, but the former goal is still possible. Ladies and gentlemen, have you forgotten who was the one who oppressed you in the past, and forced you to crawl in the dirt and struggle to survive? And those people who relied on their own strength to take your things and take everything from you with impunity, even your wife and children were taken away, so that your wife and family were torn apart?"
"It's corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and those local tyrants and shoddy gentry!"
"That's right. That's them. If it weren't for the oppression of the corrupt officials and local tyrants and shoddy gentry who disregarded public interests and only sought their own strength, how could the whole world be in turmoil, so that the Chinese nation and other Chinese nation would have been occupied by barbarians from the bitter cold land outside the country? As for us, the peasants at the bottom, when did they care? Tell me, what should we do to these people?"
At first hearing these words, everyone immediately erupted in an astonishing rage.
"Kill them!"
"Must be put to death!"
"Hang on the wall!"
His voice was hoarse, and even his eyes were much redder.
These people were completely hooked out of the most tragic pain in their hearts by Xiao Feng's words, so in the face of those bastards who exploited and suppressed themselves, they did not have the slightest mercy, and they just wanted to let those bastards go to hell at this moment, and they could no longer harm others.
"That's right. For this group of people, we must be clear about the canonical punishment. According to our laws and regulations, judge them, adjudicate them, and make them understand that there is another being in this heaven called Heavenly Reason. Let them know that our Red Phoenix Army is terrible!" With a serious expression, Xiao Feng also shouted solemnly: "This time we have to turn defense into offense, so that this group of bastards can understand that we are not going to eat soft rice." This time, the target is Ning Jin!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately got on their horses, and the horses' hooves were rolling and mighty, rushing towards Ning Jin like a tide.
............
Hara and Lin, in the sacred and solemn Wan'an Palace.
Standing on the throne, Wo Kotai was extremely angry, and shouted at Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou, who were kneeling down at His Royal Highness like lions: "You two have followed our dynasty for more than ten years, and you have been on the battlefield for so many years, how could you be defeated by a small woman?"
"I also ask Your Majesty to forgive your Majesty for being incompetent and not helping Your Majesty to share your worries. Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze snorted for a while, but finally held back their thoughts and replied calmly.
No matter how much trouble happened in that battle, under their command, the entire encirclement and suppression completely failed, this was a certainty, and the two of them naturally had no possibility of prevarication.
"Good. Wo Kotai sneered: "I thought that with the strength of the two of you, I could completely solve the red thief." It's good that you two are not only killed by others, Li Yuanfu. Even I was weakened. What a thing? He slapped the dragon chair and said, "In that case, from now on, the military system of the two of you will be cut off and the lord will be taken away." Can you take it?"
thought that with Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou here, the Chifeng Army would definitely be at your fingertips.
Who would have thought that the Chifeng Army was so tenacious, not only thwarted the encirclement and suppression, survived for a long time, and even shifted its position and ran directly to the West Hebei Road to continue its might. Seeing that his great country had collapsed, how could Wokotai give up, he immediately called Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze to the store and prepared to reprimand.
Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze trembled, and immediately bowed down, and replied: "Xiaochen doesn't dare to say anything!"
"That's good. I don't think the two of you dare to be dissatisfied. Wokotai snorted coldly, still with disdain.
But at this moment, a man walked in from outside the temple.
The man had already entered the main hall, and immediately knelt down with a "poof", and his face was already full of snot and tears, and he cried: "Great Khan!
"What's going on? If you don't say it, I'll throw you out now. Wokotai couldn't help but feel nauseous, and when he ordered the guards around him to come out, he was about to take this person out.
Being drunk by this, this person calmed down, choked up and said, "Qi Qi Khan." Since the red thief entered the Hebei West Road, although there were two people, Suhunca and Kublai Khan, surrounded and suppressed. Unfortunately, its leader Xiao Feng was too cunning, and he actually set up a deception, so that Su Hun Cha and Kublai Khan could get into the scheme, and then break through the defense. A few days ago, Ningjin, Pingjian, and Vaud have been attacked by red thieves. According to the schedule, I am afraid that in two days, the red thief will come to Zhending Mansion. However, the Zhending Mansion is empty of troops, and I am afraid that this Zhending Mansion will not be able to defend against the attack of the Red Phoenix Army at that time. I implore the Great Khan to send troops, otherwise this Central Plains will no longer be under our control. ”
At first hearing the news, Wokotai was shocked, stood up suddenly, and shouted, "What did you say?"
