Chapter 55: The majestic posture is soaring into the east flow (1)

Qin Wu, who was covered with arrow sores, had not even had time to put on his clothes, so he came to the central army tent to sit down and shouted loudly: "Prince Qiu, do you know your guilt?"

Prince Qiu, who had a bandage on his arms, bowed forward and said loudly: "I'm right!"

"What did you say when you were instructed to ambush in the woods in the north of the city?" Qin Commander looked solemn, as if he was about to kill someone immediately: "I asked you to wait for the enemy deserter and leave it to the rear team to pursue him. Why don't you obey the order and force yourself to fight?"

"When the enemy cavalry passed by, they were all congested on the road and crowded themselves. This was a good opportunity for our army to attack. As a soldier, if you miss such an opportunity, you would lose your duty!" Wang Ziqiu's defense was so loud that even the soldiers of the Zhongyi Army who were waiting outside the central army's tent could hear it clearly. Many people praised it. Perhaps only Wang Ziqiu, who was brave enough to forget where his life was left, could roar at the selfless Qin commander like this.

Qin Wu sneered: "What's the good opportunity? You only 100 people blocked the way of thousands of cavalrymen who were about to escape. Wouldn't the Mongols fight you hard? You said something good, don't expect others to come to rescue when you are surrounded!"

Wang Ziqiu wanted to argue, but Bi Zilun came over and pressed his shoulder: "What else do you want to argue? You can ask the governor to bring a brigade of troops to rescue the siege, and let the governor hit two arrows, and there is still something to refute! If the other generals of the Song people were here today, your head would have been taken away by the Mongolian soldiers long ago, so where would you have the chance to stand here and still have a mouth!"

Qin Wu General waved his hand and shouted, "Sir, don't pretend to scold him for pleading for him. Rescue of his subordinates who were surrounded by the chief generals is a matter of duty, and the two arrows of the Tartars are not a big deal. But if this young boy is so keen on fighting, the general's orders will be regarded as a joke. Even if he is not killed today, he will sooner or later ask him to die at the hands of the enemy. Instead of doing this, it is better to kill him first to clarify the military discipline!"

Bi Zilun was amused in his heart. This was definitely not the case when Qin Wu really wanted to kill people. When he first entered Fancheng, he repeatedly told him not to infringe on the people or go out of the camp at will. As a result, the rebellious Zhongyi Army made a mess that night. Two soldiers had wine in the wine shop at night and did not return to the camp overnight. While drunk, they also started fighting with the wine doctor in the restaurant and injured the man.

When the personal soldiers captured the two criminals and sent them to Qin Wu, Qin Wu said coldly, and their heads were hung on the city gate, and the military discipline was immediately intact. When Qin Wu wanted to kill someone, he would not say a single word of nonsense.

As long as he is willing to talk nonsense, there is still room for trouble. Bi Zilun bowed his body deeply and said earnestly: "Who is not young and frivolous, even though this son violated the military order, he will think about his desire to fight, and he can fight bravely to kill the enemy, and seize one hundred households of the enemy and capture the top two of the signs alive. Let's bypass him this time."

Qin Wu’s original intention is just to teach young people a lesson, killing him in Chapter 55: The pride of heroism is so powerful that it flows into the east (1)

Forget it. This young general followed his father and brother to surrender to the Song Dynasty since childhood and grew up in the military camp. He not only received the care of many veterans in the army. He also became the last expectation of these soldiers in the north who had gradually grown old in the war. Even Qin Wu himself hoped that the next generation of the Northern Army could successfully establish a foundation in the south. After all, the hometown in the north has become an unattainable dream. Their only hope is that they and their descendants can occupy a place in Jiangnan with their superlative martial arts, just as Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others did more than a hundred years ago. But therefore, they must strictly educate their children. Unlike Han Yue, these northern troops who are heading south now have rifts in the eyes of the court and the people. This part is because they do not abide by military discipline and do not obey the orders of their superiors.

Since he is living under someone else's roof, he must understand the way of advancement and retreat. He must not feel weak or bullied, nor be overly arrogant and domineering. Even Qin Wu cannot grasp the subtleties of the matter. But he is certain that Wang Ziqiu's aptitude for resistance will one day cause him big trouble, even if his boss is Zheng Yunming. Therefore, he must suppress him when he is not yet famous and let him restrain his arrogance. No official from the Southern Dynasties would tolerate the Northern Army who has been violating orders, even if this person is Zheng Yunming.

Qin Wu said seriously: "Wang Ziqiu openly violated military orders, although it was because of the rare opportunity of the fighter, he could not be exempted from punishment. In addition to the fact that all the merits today were reduced, except for the position of vanguard general, demoted to a soldier and left in front of the tent to listen to him. He should have been imprisoned in prison for forty days to show punishment. When the enemy's troops were at the city, it was the time to use people. He was allowed to make meritorious service with crimes. If he committed another crime in the future, he would be punished twice as much as possible!"

Two guards stepped forward and took Wang Ziqiu with a stubborn look. Bi Zilun looked at his departure back and shook his head and sighed: "One day he will understand that everything that the commander has done is for his future."

"Only by defending Fancheng can you make a future." Qin Wu stood up, put on his clothes, raised an oil lamp to the map. The shaking light reflected his bronze skin. The years of storm beats did not make him exhausted. On the contrary, the more intense the battle was, the more aroused his fighting spirit.

"Fancheng is just a barrier to Xiangyang." Qin Wu pointed to the map and said, "There are more than ten fortresses with strong defenses outside Xiangyang, and only two or three outside Fancheng. If the Mongols focus on Fancheng, I guess we can't defend for a month if we try our best."

Bi Zilun shook his head: "Fancheng is naturally the priority target in order, but the Mongols are not stupid. They know that even if Fancheng is captured, Xiangyang will still be deep and solid as long as the water and land are clear. Moreover, the Xiangyang defenders will not sit idly by and watch Fancheng be attacked without any hesitation. After today's battle, they cannot ignore Zheng Guanren and his army. I expect that this time the Mongols will still concentrate most of their troops to attack Xiangyang. Chapter 55, the majestic and majestic flow into the eastward flow (1)

, striving to eliminate Zheng Guanren first and then conquer Fancheng will become an insignificant task."

"In your opinion, what strategy should Fancheng take for future wars?" Qin Wu looked at the map and asked expressionlessly.

"Eight words, stick to the city and stay in the door and never leave." Bi Zilun said without hesitation.

Qin Wu raised his head and looked at his army officer: "But you just said that if Xiangyang is lost, Fancheng will be unable to defend..."

"For the Southern Dynasty, the importance of Xiangyang is unquestionable. They can give up Fancheng, but will not give up Xiangyang." Bi Zilun said: "How can hundreds of thousands of troops from Jinghu be surrounded and rescued? There is no need for my little Fancheng to worry about this matter. Later, the Southern Dynasty will definitely send all its elite troops to rescue Xiangyang. We only need to worry about ourselves."

"How long will the war last this year?" Qin Wu put the oil lamp on the table and stood up straight. Usually, this means that he had already made some plans in his mind and was just waiting for Bi Zilun's approval.

Usually the Mongols' guide to a region lasts a long time. The first guide to the Jin Kingdom and the Western Xia were invaded in autumn. Until they returned to the Xia Dynasty, as long as they did not encounter particularly fierce resistance, the Mongols must plunder and retreat before robbing them, and then robbing all the things they could take away before returning to their residence. But Bi Zilun thought for a while and said cautiously: "According to my estimate, the Mongols will not last more than three months to linger in Jinghu."

Seeing that Qin Wu did not respond, he continued to explain: "Last year, the Mongolian army led seven prefectures and counties, and the rest of the prefectures and counties were more or less plundered by the Mongols. In addition, since April this year, Zheng Yunming has urged various prefectures and counties to prepare for clearing the fields under the name of Zhao Kui. This year's clearing fields are more thorough than those in the border areas in previous years. Even if the Mongols conquered Huangzhou, Guangzhou and Fuzhou, they could not plunder the rich human and livestock supplies as rich as last year. Unless they can break through the Jiangnan defense and go deep into the south of the Yangtze River to loot, I went to Ezhou to inspect.

The Yangtze River defense force of the North Korea was still strong and unshakable. Not only did it not weaken, but the number of ships increased. It was not so easy for the Mongolians to cross the river. They could not cross the river and could not get any oil and water in Jiangbei. It would be better to withdraw troops early and wait for next year to come again. Of course, all this was based on the failure of Xiangyang to be broken by the Mongols. If Xiangyang fell, the Mongolians used the materials from Xiangyang city to go downstream and seize Jiangling and Ezhou, destroying the entire defense plan of the Southern Dynasty, and the situation would be unpredictable."

"If it is only limited to three months, the soldiers, grain, arrows, gunpowder, and herbs in Fancheng are all sufficient. But the only thing I worry about is the reinforcements on the southern route. Now the Mongols have transferred most of their troops to the south of Xiangyang for robbery. The downstream prefectures and counties are unable to take care of themselves, which may delay the process of rescue of Xiangyang. If the downstream reinforcements are not available, even if Zheng Yunming has great skills, it will be difficult for him to maintain Xiangyang's safety in front of more than 100,000 Mongolian troops."

After saying these words, Qin Wu Ruo has some majestic appearance in Chapter 55 (1)

Sin-shouldered the triangular flags representing the main force of the Song army on the map: "If Meng Puyu really can't come, what will happen to the fate of Xiangfan two cities?"

Regardless of whether Qin Wu's concern was sincere or his jokes about Meng Puyu, the number one general of the Southern Dynasty, at this time, the troops of the guards and horse army would never be able to send out one soldiers to support Xiangfan, who was alone and upstream. Because they were facing unprecedented pressure.

They were facing the army of Zhang Rou, the first general of the 80,000 Han army in the Central Plains. After the Mongolian Central Route Army surrounded Xiangyang, Zhang Rou led a part of the troops to carry out flanking mobilization. This part of the Mongolian army surrounded De'an with all its strength, and the residents of De'an had long evacuated to the south according to the plan proposed by Bai Yijie.
