450. Yuan army harassment
The sound of gold was clear and loud, and it immediately sounded among the group.
The She generals heard the sound of gold and had to lead the horse army to give up the pursuit and return. The cavalry of the Yuan army did not turn their heads back and quickly moved along the winding official road, leaving only yellow dust.
It took only more than ten minutes from the contact between the two armies and separation. The Dazhang River still flowed, but there were hundreds of corpses and wounded soldiers lying on the ground.
"Military aircraft order, why did you order the withdrawal of troops?"
Some of the She generals who returned to the army rushed to Wen Tianxiang and asked in Minnan dialect.
Just now, they chased the tail of the Yuan army and felt that they could eat the Yuan army. Therefore, the general's tone was a little unhappy.
Wen Tianxiang used to lead troops to fight against the Yuan Dynasty on Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road for many years, but he could barely understand it and smiled indifferently: "The Yuan army just wanted to consume our army's strength."
The She people generals were not reckless. When they heard Wen Tianxiang's words, they recalled the actions of the Yuan army just now, and they immediately realized it.
He scratched his head, laughed apologetically at Wen Tianxiang, and then walked towards the army.
These are the She people, all of whom are very generous. They say whatever they think and say what they say. They know that they are wrong and admit their mistakes are very refreshing.
Of course, Wen Tianxiang would not take the attitude of the general just now, but just shouted: "Sweep the battlefield and keep moving forward!"
"Sweep the battlefield and keep moving forward!"
Next to him was a messenger who held the flag and galloped towards the right side of the army.
Ren Wei looked at the departing Yuan army and continued the previous topic and asked: "The military aircraft told you just that the method of cracking the Yuan army's harassment requires the efforts of the general. What should the general do?"
Wen Tianxiang chuckled and said, "If you are the general, what will you do with the current situation?"
Ren Wei is quite similar to him. Both are Confucian generals, but Ren Wei is calm and in his prime, but Wen Tianxiang also has the intention to cultivate him.
Most of the ministers in the Song Dynasty are old now. Although no one mentioned this issue, the entire court has begun to show that they are in disguise.
Yue Peng was brave and Su Quandang was good at making plans, but they were still too young and had insufficient experience, so they were unable to take on the heavy responsibility of commanding the entire army. They could be generals, but not commanders.
God's will is unpredictable, and Wen Tianxiang was also worried that he might encounter an unexpected situation. Therefore, after leading Ren Wei to Fujian, he often mentioned Ren Wei, which means he was trained as an overtime worker.
Ren Wei pondered slightly and said, "In fact, it is not difficult to crack the Yuan army's cavalry's method."
Wen Tianxiang looked at him with a smile.
Ren Wei said: "The reflective shield invented by the emperor has now gradually become popular in the army. If used, it will definitely make the Yuan army cavalry return without success and will not be able to rush to our army."
"What if it was night?"
"The sky-burning thunder can be buried outside the camp at night, and the Yuan army will not cause too much trouble to our army."
"No."
Wen Tianxiang chuckled and shook his head, "The Emperor once said to me that marching and fighting is just a skill to exchange the minimum force for the enemy's greatest losses. General Ren, you are calm, which is a strength, but it is also a disadvantage. We use reflective shields and thunder to expose our background in advance, but we cannot cause too much damage to the Yuan army. This is the best way."
Ren Wei's expression moved slightly, "What does the military order mean?"
Wen Tianxiang said: "Since the Yuan army dares to attack us, why can't we attack Huanglong?"
"The military order means to let the general lead the Flying Army to attack Yongfu?" Ren Wei immediately understood.
Wen Tianxiang nodded, "That's right, if you lead your army to attack Yongfu, Yongfu will inevitably be in chaos. If the Yuan army that went out of the city to harass him at that time is informed, it will inevitably be panic. I will lead the army to take advantage of the situation to counterattack them. In this way, maybe you can take down Yongfu County. If our army has a place in Fuzhou, it will be much easier to get the Minqing where you are in charge of happiness."
Ren Wei's eyes lit up and he bowed, "I understand, thank you for your teachings from Military Order."
Wen Tianxiang shook his head, "This is not my teaching. If the emperor hadn't said that to me, I wouldn't have the courage to let you attack Yongfu in surprise."
"hehe."
Ren Wei laughed out loud, "The emperor is so talented. He is young, but he has such a thorough understanding of military tactics."
Wen Tianxiang looked up at the sky and murmured, "The Emperor is the hope of my Song Dynasty. When the Song Dynasty is in danger, if there is no such emperor as the emperor, it will be really dead..."
...
Soon, the She soldiers cleaned the battlefield and burned the bodies to ashes. The army continued to go along the Dazhang River to Yongfu.
Until the evening, the Yuan army did not come to harass him again.
Wen Tianxiang led a large army to camp at the foot of Goutou Mountain on the side of Dazhangxi, dozens of kilometers away from Yongfu County, and the camping tent stood at the foot of the mountain.
The faint smoke from cooking stove rose, and the fragrance of rice quickly floated in the military camp.
Each soldier lined up to receive the meal.
After dinner, the scouts rode their horses around the barracks. Ren Wei went to Wen Tianxiang's tent to see Wen Tianxiang, and then he also took the Flying Army out of the camp.
Nearly two thousand soldiers of the Flying Army carried neatly laid hot air balloons, as well as sky thunder, dry food and other items, and quickly advanced on the steep mountain road of Goutou Mountain.
Originally, when the Zhentian Army in Leizhou and Dali were fighting, the Flying Army had less than 300 hot air balloons. By the time Wen Tianxiang led his army to set off, the number was 400.
As the entire Leizhou was gradually controlled by the Song Dynasty and flourished, military factories also took root and sprouted everywhere. The speed of the Song Dynasty's production of military ordnance was no longer comparable to before.
When nearly two thousand flying troops climbed to the top of Goutou Mountain, the night was already completely deep.
Looking down from Goutou Mountain, you can only see torches swaying in the wind in the military camp.
Ren Wei led the Flying Army soldiers to lie on the bare rocks on the top of Goutou Mountain.
There are vague stars in the sky.
Ren Wei surrounded several friends who had been familiar with when he was in the Beggars' Sect. When recalling his days in the Beggars' Sect, they all felt like a dream.
They suffered from war and thought they would be displaced with the Beggars' Sect in their entire lives. Unexpectedly, they now became the famous Flying Army in the Song Dynasty.
Late at night, at the foot of the mountain, a scout rushed back to the barracks.
Then, there was a horn sound in the military camp.
The soldiers hurried out from the camp, and the soldiers responsible for the night watch hurriedly ran to the front of the camp, who were resisting the horses and waiting for the battle.
The torches spread everywhere.
The Yuan army indeed took advantage of the night to harass him again.
Not long after, the horse's hooves were heard outside the military camp.
The Yuan army rushed to the barracks under the vague moonlight, but there were not many, with only about a thousand people.
These thousands of cavalry saw that there were many torches in the Song army camp outside the camp, so they did not launch any attacks and turned around outside the camp.
This made the She people's generals so angry.
During the day, soldiers traveled through mountains and rivers and were still attacked by these Yuan troops at night. They inevitably had evil fires coming out of their hearts.
As soon as the Yuan army withdrew, Wen Tianxiang's tent became lively.
Several She generals came to his tent. As soon as someone entered the tent, he saw Wen Tianxiang sitting upright on a chair and said angrily: "Military order, those damn Yuan troops have actually come to harass you again. If this continues, how can our brothers in the army rest? How can we rush to the road tomorrow?"
If they were based on their nature, they would probably have led the soldiers to chase after them. However, before setting off, the elders of all tribes told them to obey the orders of Wen Junji.
"People are at ease."
Wen Tianxiang saw these generals being angry, but his face was filled with a smile, "You have not used to being happy with this kind of harassment method?"
The generals were slightly stunned and then muttered dissatisfied, "Military Order, do you know that Gao is harassing our army, and you can still laugh?"
Wen Tianxiang said: "What should we do according to the generals?"
A general said, "You can ambush the elite troops outside the camp. If the Yuan army dares to attack again, they will be killed in blood!"
"How many elite soldiers are lying in ambush?" Wen Tianxiang asked again.
These words made the She people stunned and speechless.
Yes, the Yuan army attacked the camp this time, but who knows how many people will be there next time they attacked the camp?
There are fewer people lying in ambush, and it is impossible to stop the strong Yuan army. If there are too many people, the soldiers will not be able to rest, so it is better to let the Yuan army attack.
But if this continues, it is not a problem.
The general who had just spoken looked at Wen Tianxiang and said, "Is there no way for you to do anything with the military aircraft? We are all rough people, and we don't have a smart mind. We all listen to you!"
Wen Tianxiang laughed, "All the generals, please go back and rest first. Let's make arrangements later tomorrow."
The She generals, look at me, look at you, and want to say something else, but Wen Tianxiang has already lowered his head to read his military books.
Everyone was unable to do so, so they had to leave the handsome account.
This means that Wen Tianxiang has a very high reputation among the people. If it were other generals of the Song Dynasty, these She generals would probably have turned over the table at this time.
Gradually, the barracks became quieter.
