Fu Song

Chapter 709 The real battle is coming
The trap set was originally intended to catch wolves.

Unexpectedly, it was a tiger.

As a result, not only the bait was lost, but even the trap was torn to pieces by the tiger.

This battle really terrified Zhou Shuguang, a mighty Henan man.

The current Song Jun is completely different from the Song Jun in his image.

Earlier, I always heard that Jiangning Xinsong's army was powerful, and I also saw Qu Zhen's army was beaten all over the place by the opponent, but I never faced it personally, so this kind of experience is ultimately insufficient.

And he always believed that his family's private soldiers were much stronger than Qu Zhen's army.

The Zhou family's private soldiers are based on the clan and the family as the unit. The father leads the children, and brothers and brothers go to the battlefield. It is really desperate.

But no matter how desperate the army is, it is also vulnerable when it encounters inferior weapons and equipment, and when it encounters the Xin Song army with stronger fighting beliefs than them.

After finally clinging to Yelu and becoming a talent, half of the more than [-] troops gathered after the first battle dispersed.

Of the half that dispersed, probably half died, and the other half ran away.

Everyone thought that the Liao Kingdom was a thigh, and if they embraced the Liao Kingdom's thigh, they would probably be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy food for the rest of their lives.

After this battle, everyone suddenly discovered that the opponent of the Liao Kingdom, the Jiangning Xinsong who had always been despised by everyone and lived in the south, could easily kick people to death with his big feet!
This is about to beat Yongqiu, judging by the appearance, if he really goes, he will be sent to death.

Many people fled immediately.

Although it is very likely that he will face the pursuit of the Liao people in the future, and the possibility of escaping is not high, but after all, he can live for a while longer!

Didn't it mean that a large number of Liao people will come south on a large scale after the Yellow River freezes in winter?There is still more than a month for myself to hide.

Live a day, let's count it as a day!

Fang Yuan was exhausted at last, his legs went limp, he gnawed on the mud with one mouth and fell to the ground, his head hit the ground, and his two front teeth bid farewell to him immediately.

On his back, carrying his boss, Hu Fei, the former horse bandit leader, is now like a blood gourd.

His chest was burning like a fire, Fang Yuan opened his mouth wide, gasping for air like a fish thrown ashore.

After breathing for a while, he tilted his body to the side and put Hu Fei aside.

Hu Fei was wrapped in some cloth strips randomly, and the cloth strips turned black and purple, and there was no blood oozing out. Look at his face, it is pale, maybe the blood has almost dried up!

"Boss, boss!" Fang Yuan patted Hu Fei's face hard.

Hu Fei slowly opened his eyes and looked at Fangyuan.

"I'm going to die!" Hu Fei said.

"Boss, we are horse bandits, our lives are hard!" Fang Yuan said.

Hu Fei shook his head: "I was stabbed in the stomach by that Zhang Ren, and the intestines came out. I can't survive! You are lucky!"

Seeing Hu Fei's appearance, Fang Yuan couldn't help but shed tears.

"Boss, I will avenge you, I will kill that Zhang Ren!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Hu Fei shook his head and said, "I'm a horse bandit, I knew that I would not end well. Fang Yuan, it's rare that you still remember to carry me on your back and run for your life today!"

"If it weren't for you, boss, I would have died a long time ago. Of course I would have run with you, but unfortunately the horses are all dead."

"You are a good boy!" Hu Fei said: "There will be rewards, stop being a horse bandit, stop fighting, find a place, and live well."

"Wars are fought there!" Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "If I don't serve as a soldier, I will be the same as those ordinary people, and my death will be even worse!"

"Go to the south, it's not like that over there." Hu Feiqiang said with a strong spirit.

"But we are enemies in the south, we will die if we go!"

"Fool, we are nothing, who will remember who we are? You change your clothes, change your name, and flee to the south. Didn't many people go to the south today? This army is in a panic, who Who do you know? You just say that you are also a refugee, and you are done!"

"Boss, are you saying that the South will win?"

"I don't know, but I know that if the South is willing to send troops to rescue these prisoners, it at least means that their government treats the people more seriously than the government in the north. After you pass, don't play with knives anymore, or If you play horses again, just be a commoner honestly and farm the land, and you will definitely survive.”

"Boss, let's go together!"

"I'm going to die! I can't go with you!" Hu Fei's body twitched, and he stared at the moon in the sky. "It should have been like this a long time ago, but it's a pity that I'm greedy. I don't want to be a farmer. I just want to live more comfortably with a knife. After all, I will die!"

Hu Fei is dead.

The leader of the horse bandit who ran across Henan and Hebei died silently like this.

After digging a hole to bury the gangster, Fang Yuan threw away everything that could represent his past identity, even took off his clothes, and took off the clothes of a person who died on the side of the road, and then walked towards Go south.

Since being rescued by the boss, he has been listening to the boss very much.

So he decided to follow the arrangement made by the boss before he died, go to the south, and strive to become a dutiful farmer in the future.

Standing at the gate of Yongqiu County, Jin Huang greeted the returning army with crossed hands and eyebrows.

Yesterday, those rescued people had already entered the city.

In order to accommodate these people, Jin Huang didn't sleep all night, and after finally finishing his work, he immediately came to the gate of the city again.

Ambush, fight, chase, and then clean up the battlefield, and finally took a good rest. Then Shi Shiran returned to Zhang Ren in Yongqiu, and saw Jin Huang from a distance.

The three generals who returned from victory looked at each other and laughed knowingly.

Dismounting from his horse, Zhang Ren strode up to Jin Huang, and said, "Magistrate Jin, because of your words, more than two hundred of my robes died in battle, and more than five hundred were injured."

Jin Huang straightened up: "But you won the hearts of the Song Dynasty, the officials, and the chief assistant, and let the people of the Song Dynasty in all the occupied areas in the north know that our Song Dynasty will never ignore them, and will definitely put their lives and deaths Take it to heart. In this way, when our army marches northward to regain their homeland, the people in the occupied areas will definitely respond to us. And the heroes who died in battle will never die, and they will be sacrificed forever by the people."

"I hope it is as you said!" Zhang Ren nodded: "Magistrate Jin, the next step is to organize the people to evacuate immediately."

"There should be plenty of time, right?"

"For us, it's not enough!" Zhang Rendao: "Yelu Chengcai came from a humble background, and the Empress Dowager Jianba of Liao Kingdom Chengtian was among the criminals. This person is brave and good at fighting, and he loves face very much. This time we beat him hard After seeing his face, do you think he will stay in Tokyo indifferently? You know, in other directions, the Liao generals have not been hit like this."

"Will he advance in advance?" Jin Huang asked in surprise.

"Inevitable, so magistrate Jin, you must take action immediately." Zhang Ren said: "This is not an easy task!"

"Yongqiu has developed well in the past two years. The common people have a lot of property. Gold and silver can be moved away, cattle, sheep and livestock can be driven away, but what about houses? I'm afraid it will not be so easy to let them go. Things." Ren Zhong said: "It's hard to leave the homeland. Things are good at home, but it's difficult to go out everywhere, let alone fleeing from disaster!"

"There is no way." Jin Huang sighed: "If you don't leave, you will die. I think those rescued people will show up and tell the local people about the cruelty of the enemy."

"They should also do something for us!" Wu Zheng said.

"These people have relatives and friends in Yongqiu, they should be able to help me a lot! Commander, Jin has something to ask!"

"Big animal, carriage?" Zhang Ren interrupted.

"Exactly!" Jin Huang said: "I want all the big animals and carriages, and I want to evacuate the people in the shortest possible time. Then, I will bring my Yongqiu regiment back to help the commander A helping hand."

"No need!" Zhang Renli flatly refused.

"I am the county magistrate of Yongqiu, and I have the responsibility to guard the land! Even if the order of the court is not allowed to be obeyed, I want to be the last one to leave!" Jin Huang said.

"Magistrate Jin, you forgot what the chief assistant said again!" Zhang Ren said: "Land and cities are all dead things, and people are worth cherishing. Where are the people of Yongqiu, you, the county magistrate, should be there." Where! County magistrate Jin, what you are going to do next is probably many times more than when you were in Yongqiu. How to keep these people in Yongqiu still orderly and not chaotic after the retreat is what you should do Yes. I don’t know how long this time will last, maybe one year, two years, or even longer.”

"Has it been so long?" Jin Huang's face was a little sad.

"Who knows? Maybe the time is very short, and it will be over in a month or two!" Zhang Yiyi spread his hands: "But just like us in war, we don't think about victory, we think about defeat first, and we have to think about the worst before we can fight." When something really happens, be in a hurry!"

"Taught!" Jin Huang bowed and said, "Then Jin will leave now."

"Magistrate Jin, there are hundreds of wounded soldiers in our department, please help us retreat and recuperate." Wu Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Please take good care of them."

"I will live up to my trust!"

In Tokyo City, in the Song Palace, Zhao Suo sat in the middle, Zhao Wang Quzhen sat on the left, and Yelu Chucai sat on the right.

Looking at the seats, it is natural that Zhao Suo is the leader, Qu Zhen is the second, and Yelu Chucai can only be the third.

But everyone knows that the one who really holds the real power is Yelu Chucai.

So Zhou Shuguang, who returned from the defeat in Chenliu, knelt in front of Yelu Chucai.

Yelu Chucai looked at it carefully with a four-eyed gun in his hand.

"You mean that thousands of cavalry soldiers in the Song army hold this thing in their hands, and the sound is like a thunderbolt, and the projectile can easily break through the armor?"

"Yes!" Zhou Shuguang said in a trembling voice, "A hundred paces apart, there were four rings on one side, and our cavalry was defeated, while the opponent took the opportunity to rush up and brandish this thing as a hammer."

Yelu Chucai nodded, and picked up the large leather belt on the ground, with a leather box fastened on it, took out a bunch of paper tubes from inside, tore one open, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, "It's gunpowder."

After thinking for a while, he picked up another paper tube, made a gesture, and just inserted it into the hole of the four-eyed gun.

"So it is!" He suddenly realized.

Stuff four paper tubes into the four-eyed blunderbuss, then take out a paper-wrapped ball from another leather box, stuff it in from the front, and then take out a fire pocket from the bosom, and in a blink of an eye Burned, he actually ignited the fuse in the hall.

The roar sounded in the hall.

Because in a confined space, the sound is extraordinarily loud.

Zhou Shuguang still knelt there motionless, he was used to listening.

Qu Zhen's complexion changed slightly, but Zhao Suo's complexion was already as dusty, and he tightly covered his ears with both hands.

After the four rings, Yelu Chucai walked towards the front of the main hall with the four-eyed blunderbuss upside down, where there were several thick pillars hugging each other. When he came to the front, he saw that the thickly painted wooden pillars were covered with holes one by one, Yelu Chengcai also squinted his eyes, looked at the four-eyed gun in his hand again, and praised: "It's really a good thing!"

There are two hand cannons buckled on the belt, which Yelu Chengcai is no stranger to.Because Daliao also has them, and there are many in his army.

It's just that theirs are made of clay, while Song people's hand cannons have a front end like a melon, with a long handle added at the back. The melon is actually made of iron, with marks on it, which looks like a turtle shell.

After the pottery bomb exploded, the pieces of pottery and the iron nails and lead contained in it flew out, while after the iron bomb exploded, the pieces of iron and the things inside flew out.

There is no doubt that Song Jun's stuff is still better.

Lifting the belt, together with the items on it and the four-eyed blunderbuss, they were stuffed into the arms of a warrior beside him: "Immediately, eight hundred miles, hurry up, send these things back to Shangjing, and hand them over to the Queen Mother!"

"Obey!" The samurai hurried out of the hall holding these things.

Looking back, Yelu Chucai kicked Zhou Shuguang who was still kneeling on the ground: "Get up, although you have been defeated, you still have the courage to fight, and you have some ideas. If it weren't for these gunpowder weapons, you wouldn't have Lose. This defeat is not a crime of war. How many people do you have now?"

"Back to the general, gather after the war, there are still more than [-] people." Zhou Shuguang said.

"That's right, there are still half of the troops left! Go back and cheer up. After ten days, you will be the vanguard. Let's meet Zhang Ren again and see what skills this young boy has besides these weapons. Gunpowder weapons, they have them, don't we?"

"Thank you, General, for your innocence!" Zhou Shuguang stood up, grateful.

"If you lose the battle and beheaded, then my head, Yelu Chucai, should have been chopped off ten times or eight times! Our Daliao is not the Song Dynasty!" Yelu Chucai stared at Zhao Suo and said with a smile: "As long as you win in the end, the one who laughs last is the one who laughs last, isn't it King Song!"

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Suo nodded repeatedly.

"King Zhao stays in Tokyo and prepares logistics for the general. If there is a shortage of food, ordnance..."

"I must not dare to miss the general's affairs." Qu Zhen said repeatedly.

"Prince Song, pack up and go out with me!" Yelu Chucai laughed, "I want to see if the Song army at Yongqiu dares to throw a bomb on your head!"
