Fu Song

Chapter 495

In fact, when Cui Ang replaced Lan Sixin as the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Road and at the same time served as the commander-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of troops ahead, no one on Shaanxi Road could stop his decision.

At this time, even if Li Chun, Qin Fenglu's appeasement envoy, stood in front of Cui Ang, not to mention bowing his head and obeying orders, he could only let him go.

You can obey others in private, but you can't openly confront them in the open.

If you dare to do it, Cui Ang will really dare to kill you.

When Zhang Cheng left Jingzhao Mansion, he happened to see the team of former pacifier Lan Sixin also leave Jingzhao Mansion.

The two said goodbye hastily on the road.

What saddens Zhang Cheng is that Lan Sixin is a heartfelt joy from the inside out.

He got promoted.

He left Shaanxi Road, a place that made him feel extremely depressed.

He embarked on the dream that the civil officials of the Song Dynasty had pursued all their lives.

As for what will happen to Shaanxi Road next?
What is the life and death of the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here?

In Lan Sixin's words, there is no mention of half points.

This is also the place where he served as a pacifier for five or six years!

Have no feelings at all?

Beside Zhuma Road, I saw Lan Sixin's car driving towards Bianliang in a cloud of smoke and dust.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly rode his horse and galloped towards Dingbian City.

What can he do now?
The only thing he can do is to pray that Xiao Ding's army will be defeated by the Liao people in Heishui Town Yan.

If the situation is the opposite, then it can almost be concluded that the army of Song Dynasty must be meat buns beating dogs, and there will be no return.

Hundreds of thousands of troops go out to fight, how can we trust the victory or defeat on others.

According to Cui Ang's war plan, the army gathered on Shaanxi Road started rumblingly.

One led by Qu Zhen, took Huanqing Road, and the other led by Tang Nu, went out of Sanchuankou, went to Long'an, passed through Tumen, and attacked Longzhou.

For the local officials on Shaanxi Road, they all wished to send these military men from Bianliang away immediately.

During the days when they were stationed on Shaanxi Road, they had constant conflicts with the local authorities. Small things like stealing chickens and dogs were not worth mentioning at all.

Even if Zhang Cheng hacked a batch of them with a sharp knife, it could not convince more people.

The officers of the Fourth Army had nothing to do with Zhang Cheng, who was killing people, but other officials on Shaanxi Road did not have this treatment.

It even set a precedent for local civil servants being beaten by military generals.

And after the complaint came to Cui Ang, the result of the handling was also jaw-dropping.

Cui Ang thought that now that the war was about to start, it was time for employing people, and it would count for the civil servant who was beaten to use the same method to beat up the general.

Didn't this general slap you?
Now I let you slap him ten times to vent my anger.

The civil servant was so angry that he walked away.

What came from behind was the roar of laughter from all the officials.

If it were in other places, if the general dared to beat the civil servant openly like this, he would definitely not be able to keep his official title, not to mention losing his head.

The breakdown of the rules started slowly from small things.

When Li Yi received the information, he could hardly believe his ears.

The same is true for Tuoba Fenwu.

But while the two were tongue-tied, they felt tremendous pressure at the same time.

Because Zhang Cheng is crazy.

Before that, Zhang Cheng still cherished the strength of troops and the lives of soldiers.

But when the two armies of the Song Dynasty bypassed these two important military points and crossed the mountains and entered Hengshan, Zhang Cheng launched a mad attack on Shentangbao and Castanopsis stronghold like crazy.

The supervising team reached the place where they could clearly see above the tower.

And before, a situation that had never been seen before also appeared in front of the two of them.

Zhang Cheng began to use young and strong civilians to pave the way for the army to attack.

Zhang Cheng can't control Cui Ang's decision. The only thing he can do is to use the power in his hands to the top as much as possible, and desperately attack Shentang Fort and Castanopsis Village. As long as these two places can be taken, then even What happened next after the army crossed Hengshan, at least there is still a retreat, at least, ordnance and supplies can be continuously transported to the front through these two roads.

As long as there is no shortage of food and armaments, the army will not easily collapse.

After all, this is an army of hundreds of thousands, and it is not so easy for the Western Army to swallow it in one gulp.

Unless Song Jun himself collapsed.

After Zhang Yunsheng of Luowuzhai heard the news, he was stunned for a while, but laughed out loud again.

Song Jun is really crazy.

After Han Zhen was defeated by his false surrender, Hedong Road was forced by Bianliang to organize an army to launch an attack on Luowuzhai, but there was loud thunder and little rain, and he wanted to show Bianliang Show it.

Naturally, Zhang Yunsheng would not ask for trouble. Anyway, the last time he chased Han Zhen, his army followed the footsteps of the Jinning army and rushed into the east of the river. After burning, killing and looting, he returned to Luowuzhai contentedly.

He roughly guessed Cui Ang's march plan.

After leaving Hengshan, there will definitely be an army starting to march towards Yinxia. Firstly, they want to cut off their connection with Xingping and Xingqing, and secondly, they mean to attack Hedong Road.

It seems that you can contact the Xiangyou Army Division. The left side of the Brave Army Division and Xiangyou Army Division will join forces. While maintaining sufficient troops in Luowu City, they can probably recruit [-] to [-] troops, which is enough to kill the Song army who will commit crimes in the future. up.

Zhang Yunsheng couldn't figure it out. How could the Song Army ensure the transportation of grain and grass under the premise that several major traffic arteries were blocked by the Western Army?

This is an army of hundreds of thousands, not a small army of thousands of people!
Even with a force of thousands of people, the logistics transportation volume is huge!
This Cui Ang regards himself as a god!
This is Zhang Yunsheng's final judgment.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty actually trusted such a god-man so much, I am afraid that the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty will not last long.

In Yanzhou, Ren Duozhong blinked and looked at a spy in front of him.

The news brought back by the spy made him feel that the guy in front of him must have drunk too much yesterday and was talking in his sleep.

Qu Zhen, the deputy commander of the Song Army's expedition to the west, led the [-] Fourth Army and thousands of Shaanxi local forbidden troops to divide into two in Guide Fort, all the way along Xichuan, all the way along Dongchuan, and entered Hengshan, intending to cross Hengshan. It is Yanzhou under his jurisdiction.

Yanzhou is now an extremely important area for the Western Army.

The salt produced here not only supplies the entire Western Army, part of the crude salt is sold towards the Western Regions, and the other part of the refined salt is sold towards the country of Song. important part.

More importantly, the occupation of Yanzhou can also cut off two important places under the Western Army's command, cutting off the communication and contact between Xingqing Xingping and Yinxia.

Cui Ang also saw this and acted like this.

But, who gave you the guts to come across the mountains like this without getting through the traffic in Hengshan!
Stroking his snow-white beard, Ren Duozhong's eyes rolled around.

"The Song army fried the rice noodles and put them in bags. Each bag contained about ten catties of fried noodles. Every soldier carried such a bag with him." The spy said: "We got one, and our army The supplies are similar, but the taste is much worse. Except for a little salty taste, there is no other taste. After soaking in water, the fried noodles grow very well. Generally speaking, ten catties of fried noodles can last for a month and a half. needed."

Ren Duozhong glanced at the spy and said, because he was afraid that he didn't know clearly, so he explained it to himself in a roundabout way?

This guy is quite clever.

Fifteen days!

Haha!

He laughed a few times, rewarded the spies, and then summoned the civil and military officials under his command.

"The first is procrastination!" Ren Duozhong set the tone first. "Send an order to all the garrisons and tribes in Hengshan to continuously attack the enemy, mainly to harass and slow down the enemy's journey. Of course, it is okay to kill a few if there is a chance. This is up to the commander himself. Anyway, if you win, you will get a reward. Will be punished!"

"Second, strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness!" Ren Duozhong knocked on the table: "We will wait a few more days in Hengshan, so that places like Yanzhou and Hongzhou can evacuate the people outside on a large scale, so that the Song army will have nothing after entering."

"Thirdly, strengthen the city and wait for reinforcements!" Ren Duozhong narrowed his eyes, "Wait for the chief executive to return to the army to deal with these desperate guys."

"What if the general loses in the north?" Next, a bald-headed party general asked boldly. After all, the news that came out in the past two days was not very good, and there were all kinds of rumors. of.

"If the chief executive loses, let's all go back and wash our heads and wait for someone else to chop it up, either from the Liao people or from the Song Dynasty!" Ren Duozhong glared at this closed-eyed guy.

Then this guy was kicked to the ground by Ren Duobao, and some people around him went up and kicked him indiscriminately.

Among Hengshan, there is naturally a road.

For many years, the Western Army has been constantly building roads to ensure that the commercial road from the northwest to the Song Dynasty can pass through more quickly, so as to earn more profits.

Of course, there are endless army camps on this road.

Every dangerous place, there will be garrisons.

There are hundreds of people stationed in the big military camps, and dozens or even a few people in the small ones.

Since these military strongholds have been able to guarantee that tax revenue will not be smuggled, coming here is also an important guarantee for suppressing bandits and resisting the enemy.

And on this road, the most difficult places are places like Shentangbao and Castanopsis Village.

Song Jun naturally wanted to avoid these places.

In some places they walked, there was a road, and in some places, it was all thanks to the pioneers to open the way.

This is why Xiao Ding dared to take away all the iron kites and Bubazi in the early stage of the war.

Because a normal general would never dare to be as tough as Cui Ang.

This is really a stud before the cards are dealt.

Either win it all or lose it all.

The weather in the mountains is always a bit unpredictable. The sun is still shining brightly in the morning, but in the afternoon, a burst of dark clouds floats in, and the rain comes as soon as it is said.

Although it is already the end of September, the sun has been shining brightly for the past two days, and the weather is still very hot. Naturally, Song Jun hasn't let go of the cotton-padded clothes. Unexpectedly, when it rains, the temperature in the mountains will drop immediately. Wearing unlined clothes Song Jun was shivering from the cold.

At night, when the wind blows, it is even colder to the bone.

Between heat and cold, many people fell ill immediately.

In the forest, piles of bonfires were burned, and the high spirits that had just set out had subsided a lot.How dare the soldiers of the Fourth Army from Bianliang not have imagined that marching in the mountains would be so difficult.

Fortunately, as mentioned above, at this speed, they can walk out of Hengshan in at most three or four days.

Gritting his teeth, three or four days passed like this.

I don't know where there came bursts of roaring and wolf howling, and then there was a commotion in the distance, with people shouting and neighing, and it took a long time to calm down.

"The sentry post was attacked by a big worm!"

The news came back quickly.

Of the two guards on the outside, one was bitten to death, and the other was dragged away. They followed the bloodstains and found them, but one leg was bitten off by a big insect and taken away.

If it is said that being attacked by wild beasts is a very small possibility in such a large army operation, but from the second day after entering the mountain, the enemy's attack is very uncomfortable.

You never know where the enemy is hiding. It seems that the marching team is always being defeated by someone.

The insidious enemy is above the arrows, and the weapons in the trap are all smeared with some unknown poison. If they are dead, they will be clean. , Hearing it made everyone feel like their souls were floating away.

Even though the wound was not serious, everyone was terrified by the extremely painful expression of the wounded.

The soldiers of the Fourth Army had gained some insight this time, and all kinds of traps and traps they had never even heard of were ravaging them all the time.

If they can go back alive this time, a certain group of them will definitely become experts in this field.

The casualties caused by a single attack are not large, but the impact on the morale of the army is very fatal, as if that is what the enemy means.

But then the attack of the organized brigade of enemy troops began.

Use their familiarity with the terrain to hit and go.

He even set up a trap to lure the Song army to pursue, and then killed the chasing Song army in groups, and finally hung the killed Song army on the road ahead of the army.

The Shangguan promised to walk out of Hengshan in three days. Song Jun had been walking inside for five days, but it seemed that he hadn't seen the exit yet.

Every attack, whether individual or organized, would always cause the army to stop and search.

The speed was unknowingly slowed down like this.

Until the order finally came from above, no matter how the enemy attacked or harassed, the army would not disperse, connected end to end, and kept moving forward.

To die is to die.

With an army of tens of thousands of people, hundreds of them will die, and the top will not feel anything at all.

Such small-scale continuous harassment just shows the guilty conscience of the Western Army.

The big shots above became even more confident.

However, harassment is useless, but there is no way to destroy the road.

The enemies in Hengshan began to wreak havoc on the way the army was advancing. It was clear that the front army had traveled a good road, but the troops following behind suddenly found that they could not go.

When the army was passing through the canyon, a sudden flood came from above, and hundreds of people were swept away defenselessly. After the flood passed, no one was not afraid to see those people who died in various ways. of.

This road, how difficult!
