At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 79 Fighting
"You have been a veteran general for many years. You are the leader of the country. Your sword and arrow do not change your color. Why are you so timid now?" Boyan's voice was stern.

The instigator looked ugly and replied: "The southern thieves' sky thunder is so powerful that they cannot be defeated in a field battle, so they have to gather their troops and fight to the death in the streets."

"Absurd!" Boyan slapped the case and stood up, shouting: "Don't you know that the key points to defend the city are outside but not inside? Let the southern army go straight to the city, and you have lost all your elite troops, how can you say you will die?"

"Prime Minister, please calm down." Lu Wenhuan said to smooth things over: "The Heavenly Army has always attacked the city, but the defense time is short. It is normal for the marshal to be negligent. Now that the Prime Minister is here, how can the Southern Army be so arrogant?"

The instigators all choked and said, "How dare you, the two ministers, to make such a noise!"

Lu Wenhuan's old-fashioned attitude almost made him choke to death, but he was not as knowledgeable as his colleagues.

A minister who betrays his master has no confidence in the first place.

Boyan, however, was not used to instigating the capital, and cursed: "How dare you underestimate your colleagues, who are incompetent! I bear the emperor's order to take charge of the military and political affairs in Jiangnan. Now that I am in charge of my post, I am escorted back to my superiors. I have nothing to say."

"Humph!" Sodu stood up and left.

Lu Wenhuan advised: "Prime Minister, the war is coming, why not stay under the tent and listen to it?"

Boyan replied: "If you are defeated repeatedly in battles, if you are not punished, how can you serve the three armies?"

Any instigator has a lower status, and he can't get out of bed without seeing Boyan beat him.

Looking around, Boyan said: "The southern general Zhang Shijie is coming fiercely. Who is willing to lead the troops into battle and kill him with his vigor?"

"The general is willing to go." Many people asked for a fight.

There were Mongolian and Han generals such as Zhang Hongfan, Hu Lachu, Ha Laji, Tachu, and Zhang Rongshi, as well as surrendered generals such as Lu Wenhuan, Liu Hanjie, Liu Ying, Hu Quan, and Shen Shilong.

Boyan mobilized [-] infantry troops, [-] horse troops, and [-] naval troops to arrive at Kuaiji. Adding the original [-] defenders, the total number of troops stationed in Kuaiji City was [-].

Zhuji County has [-] soldiers from Saliman, Timur and other generals, and Fengqiao Town has [-] soldiers from Temur and Fan Wenhu.

In the middle reaches of the Qiantang River, Arahan led [-] troops and was stationed in Yanzhou, and in the upper reaches, Atahai led [-] troops and was stationed in Huizhou.

With so many elite soldiers and generals, Boyan's purpose was not to defend the city, but to annihilate Zhang Shijie's troops in one fell swoop, then march forward to regain the lost territory, surround Wenzhou and kill the remnants of the Song Dynasty.

"Zhang Shijie was only more than ten miles away from Kuaiji. He suddenly rushed out and led an army of two thousand horses to fight. He slowed down his speed and made noises. He led the scouts to take a detour to spy on their retreat.

Temur Fan Wenhu was ordered to attack at any time to cut off Zhang Shijie's retreat. "

As soon as Boyan's order was given, a hundred households hurried in and paid their respects: "Prime Minister, the Nanbing Navy has come to the sea and is wandering outside Anjiang Village. It seems that they intend to attack."

"Nan Bing wants to repeat his old tricks?" Boyan said with a smile.

"Prime Minister, I'm afraid Lu Shikui is not strong enough to handle it." Zhang Hongfan told the truth without caring about Lu Wenhuan's face.

"The last general is willing to personally supervise the battle." Lu Wenhuan requested the order.

Boyan waved his hand and said: "It's just a water village, why bother to have the marshal sit in charge?"

"Prime Minister, why don't you let me take a trip?" Zhang Hongfan asked.

Boyan said: "Forget it, just order 3000 troops to supervise the battle, and send an order to the rear to be strictly guarded. If the southern soldiers are allowed to land, they will all be held accountable."

Immediately a messenger went out to convey Boyan's order.

Lu Wu landed to take Shangyu, and Zhang Wangxuan attacked Nan'en Prefecture. The car in front was not far away. Of course Boyan would not ignore it, otherwise the number of troops in Kuaiji City would at least triple at this time.

After dealing with the emergency, Boyan continued to plan his military strategy and decided to eat Zhang Shijie's troops.

At this time, Zhang Shijie had arrived at Shannan Village, ten miles away. It was adjacent to the canal to the east and Goutou Ridge, a branch of Kuaiji Mountain to the west, making it suitable for camping on the road.

Although he wanted to fight to Lin'an immediately, Zhang Shijie knew that he could not march in the dark. Otherwise, if the Yuan army made a surprise attack, the best result would be Liu Shiyong's fate, which we won't need to talk about later.

At this time, the messenger hurried over and said: "Prime Minister, there is military news coming from Kuaiji City." Zhang Shijie took the letter and saw that it read "On the fifth day of the lunar month, Boyan entered the city with [-] paces of horses, [-] boats and [-] boats."

That is to say, Boyan had just arrived in Kuaiji this morning, and he and Zhang Shijie were on the front and rear. Of course, the Yuan army had been mobilized long ago. Boyan crossed the river immediately after arriving in Lin'an, just in time to fight.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Shijie ordered: "Send the order, the entire army will set up strongholds to defend, and Yin Shihong will set up a water stronghold to block the canal.

Liu Shiyong was ordered to reinforce Dongguan Post with 2000 people and transport grain and grass here.

Chen Shengxing was ordered to postpone the attack on Kuaiji and dispatched half of his troops to this place.

Jiang Zheng was sent to command a partial army to pretend to attack Zhuji.

Lin Jingxi was ordered to stick to Sheng County without any loss.

Send a message to Jiang Dongting and mobilize the rear navy to enter the Cao'e River. At the end of the month, I will have [-] ships and [-] navy here. "

The privy envoy led the troops, and there was no doubt about his arbitrary actions, so the order was sent out immediately.

Immediately, the ministries dug ditches and built walls, erected village walls, arranged car arrays, and the navy also stopped ships and drove pilings.

"Prime Minister." Lu Wu asked, "Why not return to Dongguan?"

Lu Wu was indeed a little reckless, but after all he fought many battles and knew that 6000 men could not defeat 3 men.

Sun Tzu clearly said, "Surround an enemy ten times, attack it five times, and fight it twice." Zhang Shijie dared to use six thousand to instigate the capital's eight thousand because the instigator's troops were already frightened and could just blow it up twice. Done, what Boyan brought is a new talent, and it will most likely be a decisive victory in a street fight, six thousand against thirty thousand, unless the thunder continues indefinitely.

"If we retreat, Boyan will inevitably divide his troops and join forces with various Yuan armies. How to defend?" Zhang Shijie explained. After observing the surroundings, he said: "Look to the north and lead 1000 people to set up a stronghold on the top of the mountain to protect the camp."

Goutou Ridge is only about ten feet high and is not steep. However, the main camp is right next to it. It must be prepared for a condescending attack by the Yuan army after the Yuan army seizes it. Moreover, setting up a stronghold can serve as a horn, making it better to defend than a single stronghold.

When the leader of Hu Lachu arrived, he saw the antlers and chariot formations of the Song army at a glance. He knew that they could not rush into the formation. After looking at it again, he discovered Zhang Shijie's plan. He sent someone to report back to Boyan and also sent someone to call the formation to invite a battle.

The infantry army fought against the cavalry army. Zhang Shijie lost his wits and did this, so he ignored it.

Suddenly he was fucked until he bled. Boyan sent him here to give him a chance to take revenge, so naturally he didn't want to return disappointed.

So, suddenly he got excited and asked Zhang Shijie to challenge him.

Just kidding, do you really think this is a small friction between Guochao and Liaoxia?

At that time, everyone could not afford to fight a war, and the border soldiers were not law-abiding. They often snatched a cow from me and a sheep from you. It was very unpleasant. How to solve it?

Head to head!

I remember that Han Shizhong did this a lot when he was in the Western Army, but he was only a middle- and low-level officer. Senior officers would not do such things with high risks and low returns.

The sudden revelation of the existence of a person who was in charge of the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and who was in charge of thousands of military households, and who wore a golden tiger talisman, now demanded a duel, which shows that he is eager to fight.

"Southern people are cowardly. It's true. I've heard for a long time that Prime Minister Zhang is brave, but it turns out he's just an eggless man. I'm afraid he didn't make Yang feel comfortable before he became the Privy Councilor." Suddenly, he shouted and cursed.

"Prime Minister, the last general is asking for a fight." Lu Wu and Yang Zhenlong asked for a fight at the same time.

Both of them are brave men, so naturally they can't stand the sudden dirty talk, and to make the other party shut up, what they need is a real fight with a real sword.

After Zhang Shijie thought for a while, he said: "Yang Zhenlong, lead a hundred horses out of the camp and kill the Tartars with great vigor!"

He himself didn't mind being called a coward, but when it came to clearing the Queen Mother's name, he had to deal with it.

"Brother, don't lose your prestige." Lu Wu punched Yang Zhenlong.

"If you don't kill his two generals, I will throw myself into the river and die!" Yang Zhenlong turned around and left the tent. After being neatly dressed, he led Zhang Shijie's [-] bodyguard horse troops out of the camp.
