Chapter 244 Anger
A Shu stayed overnight in the south of Panyan Mountain.

When he rushed to the battlefield today, the Song army was already crossing the river.

Several rounds of arrow rain shot and killed many people, but many people in the Mongolian army did not know how to use water and did not dare to abandon their horses, so they built a pontoon bridge to cross the river, but the Song army had already fled to the mountains.

Ashu sent people to sneak attack overnight, but was beaten back. The chief general of the Song army did not let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and kept setting up defenses.

The Mongolian army surrounding the mountain still has two thousand-man teams, but it is not easy to attack by force at night, so they may not be able to defeat the mountain if they wait until dawn to attack the mountain.

But Ah Shu is not ready to attack by force.

They had just suffered a big defeat in the Yangtze River, and there were less than 5000 people left. They lost their luggage and their morale was at their lowest point; and Shi Jun and Zhang Shi could kill the [-] sailors after re-equipping, and there were The Song Army, including the Changning Army, was nearby.

Wu Lianghetai was dead, and Ashu couldn't even guarantee the stability of the army, but he still divided into three thousand-man teams in Anning County.Every extra moment is an extra adventure.

He was not without anger, his anger was greater than the fire that burned the mountain, but reason demanded that he must rush back as soon as possible to take the remaining soldiers and horses away.

So they set fire to the mountain and left the road to the south alone, hoping to wait for the Song army to escape.

The fire in the north of the mountain is getting bigger and bigger, gradually lighting up half the sky...

"The Song army won't come down, and burn the south side too." A Shu ordered.

Half of his face was reflected by the fire, and the hatred in his eyes was full of hatred, while the other half of his face was hidden in the darkness, looking deep and calm.

~~
"A Shu! Your old man will be smoked to death by you!"

On the top of Panyan Mountain, a loud shout echoed between heaven and earth, but was covered by the sound of raging fire.

"Fool Liu, don't bother shouting...cough cough...save your energy."

There was constant coughing on the top of the mountain, and the soldiers had stopped cutting trees, and climbed up the mountain weakly, lying on the ground panting.

It was broad daylight, but there was smoke all around, making it impossible to see far away.

"Ahem...the county lieutenant hasn't come back yet?"

"Don't be afraid! We have dug that overnight... the fire belt, the fire can't catch it...cough..."

Xu Kui opened his eyes and felt that the wounds all over his body were bitten by ants, and his head was dizzy.

He has suffered a lot in his life, but he also feels that it is too difficult now.

"Xu Kui, can you hold on?" Liu Jinsuo bent down and asked.

"Ginger... Jiang Bantou..."

"It's not Jiang Gouzi, it's me, Liu Jinsuo."

"Boss Liu, I can't do it...give...give it a good time."

"Listen to me, the Mongolian army is about to retreat, and we will find a way to go down the mountain then."

Xu Kui murmured: "The mountain fire will burn for a long time... I can't go away... I don't want to be smoked to death."

"Let's go, there is a cliff over there, the river is below, and there are few trees. The fire will go out after a day or two. We are already kneading the rattan, and we will hang it down. Last night I dug the fire belt all the way through."

Xu Kui only felt that he was coaxing himself.

"Bantou Liu... I'm like this... I can't go down..."

Suddenly someone shouted: "The county lieutenant is back!"

"County lieutenant..."

Xu Kui tried his best to support himself, only to see that Li Xia was smudged black, leading a group of people to climb up to the top of the mountain, and carried a big burden wrapped in clothes.

"The herbs are here, so we all gritted our teeth to hold on. We won't be trapped to death, and we can go back alive..."

Xu Kui just felt very dazed.

In a trance, a doctor applied herbal medicine to him.

Then he was patted on the back.

"Xu Kui, you can survive." Li Xia said.

"County lieutenant... villains can't go down the mountain... give the herbal medicine to others..."

Li Xia was very patient, and said without haste: "Don't worry, I will lead people down the cliff, and then I will bring you up with ropes and baskets to bring you down. There will also be water and dry food, don't give up."

"There's a lot of fire... and there's a lot of smoke..."

"It's okay, you just need to live on, think about your mother, your wife, and your son are still waiting for you to celebrate the New Year."

Li Xia patted him on the back again, and walked to talk to other wounded soldiers.

……

Xu Kui fell asleep and woke up the next day, only to see that the smoke in the distance was thicker, and he saw his comrades gathered around the edge of the cliff.

"Let it go! Let it go slowly..."

Liu Jinsuo led a group of people, who were holding the cane and lowering it bit by bit.

He tried his best to get up and walk over, and saw the smoke around the cliff.

"Cough...cough...Mao Yi'er...is there really a river down here?"

"It seems there is." Mao Yi'er said: "Li Xianwei is going down."

"Is this cane long enough?"

"I don't know, Bantou Xiong and Yang Ben have already gone down."

"Live... live?"

"Live."

Xu Kui sat down, looked at the edge of the cliff, looked at the vines and the fire and thick smoke in the distance...

He didn't know if the county lieutenant would come back.

He was actually thirsty, hungry, tired, in pain, and stuffy from the smoke. Sometimes he really felt like he was going to die.

I don't know how long it took, it was dark, and it was dawn, and when he was worried about Li Xianwei encountering an accident on the road, he suddenly saw the rattan move.

……

"Ouch."

Liu Jinsuo was tying rattan canes to his body and leaning against a big rock to take a nap when he was suddenly pulled down and knocked heavily on the rock.

"Which hozen!"

Halfway through the conversation, Liu Jinsuo reacted abruptly and shouted: "I'm back! Pull quickly! Pull quickly..."

Syria.

Shi Jun sat in the middle of the public room, listening to Li Tonghe read letters and newspapers, and took up a pen to mark on the map from time to time.

"The secret letter of Yi Shiying, the governor of the Changning Army, stated that he would detour to the southeast and go straight to Bowang Mountain, trying his best to intercept the Mongolian army."

"Good!" Shi Jun couldn't help praising him, and picked up a pen to mark the southeast direction of Anning County. After a while, worry appeared in his eyes again, and he murmured: "I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Yes, Commander Yi Du is unlikely to rush to Bowang Mountain ahead of Mengqi. It is the only way to drive the cavalry with infantry."

"Yes." Shi Jun stared at the map in thought.

Under his labeling, the whole situation became much clearer.

The Mongolian Army's 1000-strong Exploring Red Army is near Anning County; Changning Army has Zhu Cheng leading 5000 people to defend the city; The roads from east to west were blocked; Yi Shiying wanted to outflank the road for the Mongolian army to flee south.

It seems that the Song army is chasing the Mongolian army like a big net.

However, as long as the Mongolian cavalry escaped fast enough, they could obviously escape the encirclement.

The next moment, another messenger soldier ran over quickly.

"Zhizhou, Zhang Dutong's letter."

"give me."

Shi Jun quickly took the letter, glanced at it himself, his face kept changing, happy for a while, worried for a while, and finally deeply regretful.

Finally, he dropped the letter and muttered something.

"What a pity."

"Dong Weng?"

"See for yourself... what a pity."

Li Tonghe picked up the letter, only saw half of it, his pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "Wu Liang is on the stage?!"

He was so happy that his hands trembled unconsciously, he didn't understand what was the pity?

After a while, he couldn't bear to think about this great achievement for the time being, and returned to the remaining Mongolian army.

After reading the letter, Li Tonghe moved his fingers around Guhe Town on the map, and murmured, "One day...two days...just a little short."

Shi Jun nodded and said, "It's only close."

"If Ah Shu dares to stay in Panyu Mountain for one more day, Zhang Dutong can catch up, destroy its pontoon bridge, and divide the five thousand-man pairs on both sides of the Changning River; wait for Yi Du to catch up and block the valley , may not be able to annihilate them.”

"If we can completely annihilate this Mongolian army, we may be able to wipe out the decline in the southwest. It's a pity."

"Don't be too regretful, it's already an unexpected joy to be able to cut Wuliang together."

"Yizhai, did I make a mistake?"

Li Tonghe was taken aback, and asked: "Why did Dong Weng say this? Such a big battle, no matter how much you praise it, how can you use the word 'wrong'?"

"If I had known that I could kill Wuliang Hetai, Ning led his troops to pursue overnight, and he should have left Ashu behind."

"Impossible. The captured men and horses have not been reorganized in time. If they rush to pursue them, they will only be defeated in turn. Dong Weng did the right thing... In the eyes of the students, it is greedy to say these things now."

Shi Jun smiled wryly. Looking back on the whole battle, he realized that there was really nothing he could do better, and finally he could only sigh: "It's really greedy."

But it suddenly occurred to him that if Li Xia had 2000 people this time, Ashu might be left behind.

With the thought together, he shook his head again, putting aside this ridiculous idea.

"A merit is a merit, a fault is a fault, the impeachment should still be impeached..."
