end song

Chapter 639 Tunxiang
A fine horse ran, jumped over the raging fire scattered on the battlefield, and went straight to the falling rocks.

The mountain road ahead has been blocked.

It raised its front hooves and let out a wail.

"Bah!"

Fortunately, the wood and stone thrown from the cliff did not attack it.

Its owner has been buried in the mountain road...

Several Mongol and Han soldiers struggled to lift Wang Zuochen's body, trying to retreat to the east.

Wood and stone fell on them again.

"Oh!"

……

Ma Dexi closed his eyes and stopped looking at Wang Zuochen's smashed corpse.

He turned and fled again, staggering.

After running for dozens of steps to the east, I heard a colleague crying in front of me.

"Surrender! Stop fighting! Stop fighting..."

Madexi was stunned.

beat?No figure of Song Jun was seen.

He fell to the ground and was too lazy to get up again. He was too tired after tossing around for a day and a night.

"Just die."

Gradually, more and more comrades came, crying to the top of the mountain.

By noon, they had gathered 300 people.

Some of them came from further east, saying that wood and rocks kept falling several miles away, and they didn't dare to go there, and they didn't know what happened to the army in front of them.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that they are the only ones left in the ten-mile mountain road.

Ma Dexi felt even more desperate, and shouted loudly to his comrades, hoping to end all this soon.

"Surrender! Stop fighting..."

~~
"Surrender!"

The mountain road stretches to the east for more than three hundred miles, and such a sound can be heard from time to time.

At the foot of Pandao Mountain, more than [-] people were also shouting in unison.

Where they gathered, four or five miles in front and back, there were still fireballs falling.

The Song army's offensive has lasted for a day and a night. Anyone who dared to attack the mountain and probe was dead, including their chief general.

4 people were cut into more than 40 sections, and the soldiers kept running for their lives, and finally hid in one place, completely unaware of the battle situation.

How many enemies are there?How many allies are left?
No one dared to explore.

Looking up, I saw a towering mountain.

It seems that only they and the condescending Song Army are left in the world.

Helpless, hopeless.

Some soldiers raised their heads and picked up the water bag, but not a drop of water fell.

The West Han River is just a few miles to the west, but I dare not cross it.

He had no choice but to put down the water bag feebly, and continued to shout.

"They all surrendered!"

"..."

until dusk.

There is a horn sounding in the mountains, which is extremely long.

The soldiers were terrified, quickly hugged their heads, and shrank to the edge of the cliff.

It took a long time for the long horn to stop.

But the Song army's offensive was not seen, and the offensive that lasted for two days and one night stopped instead.

Then, another horn sounded in the distance, still long...

~~
Throughout the ambush, Li Xia did not have much overall command, because the terrain of Qishan Road was long and dangerous, and they were not arranged in a square formation to fight.

Therefore, before the war, he had surveyed all the terrain clearly and made a plan, so that he could independently command each ambush point during the war.

Having said that, Li Xia still has overall preparations.

He ordered two hundred militiamen to scatter among the mountains and forests along the six hundred miles of Shu Road, and nothing else was needed except to blow the horn.

In two days and one night, the horn was only sounded three times.

Once at the beginning of the ambush, with the roar of the cannon, the horn sounded, passing the signal of the battle.

Afterwards, at nightfall, the ambush points were reminded to throw stone resin fireballs to illuminate the mountain roads, preventing the Mongolian army from attacking the mountains at night, and let the soldiers take turns to rest.

The last time was at this time, the evening after the start of the ambush.

The long rhythm means beginning to accept surrender.

But if there are still enemies trying to resist, the corresponding ambush point will respond with a short horn, asking for support and encircling and suppressing.

not at all.

The long horn spread far away, and then it came back again...

For Lu Xiufu, this voice is like the sounds of nature.

He asked Gao Nianfeng to accept the surrender together, tied a rope around his waist and climbed down.

Halfway up the mountain, Gao Nianfeng began to shout, ordering the Mongolian and Han troops at the foot of the mountain to take off their armor and put down their weapons, and let them tie their horses to the side of the mountain road...

"Remember! If one of you dares to hide a weapon, all of you will die!"

Amidst the clanging sound, the weapons on the mountain path gradually piled up.

Then Gao Nianfeng yelled: "Okay! Everyone retreat two miles away, hold your head, and squat down! Wait for tomorrow's dawn! By the way, you have a ration to share! No looting is allowed, and it will be given to you after the escort tomorrow." food!"

They were in no hurry to escort the captives.

As long as the commanding heights are occupied, the captives cannot escape in this terrain.

What to do this night is to let the soldiers under the command collect their weapons and armor, eat well, rest well, heal their wounds, and wait until dawn to escort the prisoners who are even more hungry and weak.

Lu Xiufu counted all night, and reported the number of weapons to Li Xia at dawn.

At the end, he sighed, "Out of 500 people, there are only [-] captives left. Is the killing too much?"

"That's not how it works."

Li Xia fell asleep, got up, rubbed his eyes, and said: "We are the tail here, and the enemy always wants to rush out, such as Wang Zuochen. Therefore, there are more kills, and the rest of the ambush points will not be so bad."

Lu Xiufu calculated with his fingers, and murmured: "Jieshuai... killed nearly [-] lives in two days, how can you bear it?"

He is not asking questions, but asking for advice.

"How can you bear it?" Li Xia rubbed her face, she seemed a little dull because she just woke up, and said, "I can't bear it either, there's nothing I can do."

After all, he recruited Gao Nianfeng and Louhu and ordered them to escort the prisoners.

Lu Xiufu asked again to go with him.

Li Xia said: "That's fine, you guys go, save whoever you can."

Lu Xiufu was puzzled, and asked again: "The two hundred soldiers have all gone down the mountain, won't Commander Jie go in person?"

Li Xia was silent for a moment, then said, "I won't go..."

~~
Escorting the captives is not difficult, just tying people into a string with ropes.

Lu Xiufu was recording the names and places of origin of the captives when he suddenly heard groans of pain.

"help me……"

He turned his head to look, and saw a Mongolian and Han army under a big rock not far away.

Lu Xiufu got up and was about to walk over there.

"puff!"

A soldier had already stepped forward and finished the opponent with a single blow.

Lu Xiufu opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, but Gao Nianfeng pressed his shoulder.

"Lu Zhi County, continue to register."

"That person..."

"The injury is too serious, it's not worth saving."

"Even if they can no longer go to the battlefield, Sichuan and Sichuan are short of people and labor."

Gao Nianfeng said: "The commander-in-chief said, those who can be saved can be saved, and those who are destined to be saved, it's over."

"But that person just now, I haven't seen him hurt yet..."

"Does that person still need to watch? We need to watch the prisoners who are two to three times as many as us, and ask Lu Zhixian to act faster."

Gao Nianfeng said something lightly, as if he thought Lu Xiufu was too troublesome as a civil servant, so he turned and left.

"There is no need to move the ones that are under the stone, and they will not survive."

"Puff puff……"

Lu Xiufu closed his eyes helplessly when he heard the sound of weapons piercing into flesh from time to time.

Only then did he know what Li Xia meant by "save what you can", and why Li Xia didn't come in person.

Even if he knows a little bit of medical skills, there are too many people here that he simply cannot save.

……

Not far away, Ma Dexi honestly stretched out his hand and let the soldiers of the Song army tie him up.

He and more than [-] comrades were tied into a string and dragged to clean up the battlefield without any resistance.

When he walked past Lu Xiufu, he also heard the conversation.

Ma Dexi was not moved by Lu Xiufu's attitude, it is an old rule on the battlefield to make up the wounded enemy soldiers.

When surrendered, who would want wounded soldiers?
Therefore, when you know that you are going to lose, if you want to survive, it is best not to get hurt...

~~
It was evening again.

The third day of an ambush has passed.

Li Xia moved the station down from the top of the mountain to facilitate the delivery of orders.

Soldiers from two ambush points have gathered in his camp.

The Song army also suffered casualties, but they were condescending, and there were not many losses. Occasionally, some soldiers guarding the mountain were shot with arrows by individual soldiers who sneaked up.

Six hundred soldiers escorted more than [-] prisoners to clear the battlefield, swallowing elephants with snakes, which seemed very difficult for a while.

Seeing this situation, Lu Xiufu also understood that there is really no way to treat the seriously injured prisoners at present.

But after reporting the matter, he finally sighed.

"Today there was a wounded prisoner who covered up his injuries and was not afraid of tetanus. He clearly told them that we will treat minor injuries."

"Because he wants to live."

Li Xia said casually, lowered his head, and marked the map again.

He didn't have the joy after the big victory, and he had already started to think about the next plan.

Lu Xiufu sighed, and said: "The battlefield is too cruel. Poor bones by the Wuding River, still a person in a spring girl's dream."

The pen in Li Xia's hand hovered over Gong Chang's position, and asked for a long time, "What are the first two sentences?"

"Swear to sweep the Xiongnu regardless of their own lives, and five thousand mint brocades will mourn the dust."

"That's it." Li Xia said: "You send someone to recruit the supply team and Minzhuang to watch over the prisoners. There is no rush, but we can arrange it tomorrow. I'm afraid the Qishan Road has not been cleared yet."

"Yes."

"Go and rest, you haven't slept for two nights."

Lu Xiufu got up, opened the curtain, but stopped again.

"Huh? Is something wrong?"

Lu Xiufu turned around and asked, "Does Marshal Jie plan to take me to Longxi?"

"Did you guess that I'm going to Longxi?"

"It's not difficult to guess. I interrogated a few captives, Wang Liangchen came out in full force, and Longxi's troops were empty."

"When he dispatched troops, he thought the same way I do now... Oh, I don't plan to take you there." Li Xia said, "After that, there are still many things that you need to do here."

"Then... can I ask Marshal Jie for advice on the art of war?" Lu Xiufu asked with a bow.

He knew that the battle was about to end, but Qi Shandao's news could not be transmitted. In fact, it was Li Xia's most free time.
Yu Zhi, he laughed at himself again, and said: "I'm bothering Jie Shuai too much..."

"I don't think you're bothering me."

Li Xia said: "On the contrary, I admire you very much. Sit down... The generals of the army only want to win, and what they want is the result. Only you are always asking the reason for winning, how to win, why to win, and what to do after winning. That's why I said that only you can help me sit in town in the future."

"Ashamed, Xie Jieshuai for understanding."

"As for the art of war, I don't know. I used to have a very wrong perception." Li Xia laughed at himself: "When I first fought, I ranked the combat power of soldiers by numerical value in my heart."

"Number?" Lu Xiufu was puzzled.

"For example, the Mongolian army's combat strength is eight points, and the Song army's combat strength is five points. It was probably like this at the time. Later I found out that this is not the case, and I added attributes. For example, the Mongolian army is good at fighting in the plains, and the Song army is good at defending the city in the mountains."

Lu Xiufu became more and more puzzled, frowned in thought, and murmured: "Value? Attribute? Quite intuitive. But what's wrong?"

Li Xia said: "Recently, I have discovered that values, attributes, and numbers are important, but they cannot summarize combat power...Soldiers are human beings first and foremost. Affects combat power. Want to fight to the death, want to surrender, you can't tell, it changes all the time, the general is in charge of the mentality of thousands of people. The so-called "soldiers are impermanent", I didn't understand this sentence until recently, there is no Constantly strong or weak, only a certain moment of strength and weakness."

"So, we set up an ambush on Qishan Road in order to be far stronger than the enemy at this moment?"

"In this battle, the outcome of this battle is not determined after the ambush begins, but before. Our soldiers carried heavy weapons and climbed the mountains, endured the prying eyes of wild animals and the bites of mosquitoes, ate the wind and drank the dew, and fought in the mountains and forests. Cannons, digging holes, cutting down trees...it was too bitter."

Lu Xiufu had a deep understanding, scratched his neck, and said: "It's been more than two months, it's really...too bitter."

Where his fingernails scratched, there were red spots from insect bites.

Not only him, but all of the more than 13 soldiers were like this, and [-] people died of tick poisoning.

As for the five people who fell off the cliff and died...

"This is not the art of war." Li Xia said: "It's what they pay for and they gain. They sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. Isn't it natural that we win?"

Lu Xiufu said: "But, it was the commander-in-chief who lured Wang Liangchen here with a conspiracy. This is a conspiracy."

"It's not a conspiracy."

Li Xia said: "I'm sure I want to fight in the mountains. I first set this small goal and start thinking about how to achieve it? To lure the enemy to come. Then think about why the enemy came? Because there is an opportunity. Then let them believe that there is an opportunity, it's that simple. "

He looked more serious.

"I don't have the strength yet, but I want to crush the enemy without the strength. I'm lazy and have illusions. Don't do this, just spend your energy honestly, calculate, prepare, and finally achieve the goal of using the long to strike the short. I always This is the way of thinking every time we fight, every time. This is not a conspiracy, let’s not talk about a conspiracy, it should be the word ‘duty’. It is the general’s duty to count before the battle, and it is the duty of the soldiers.”

Lu Xiufu looked at Li Xia's rare serious eyes, and nodded emphatically.

"Thank you, Shuai Jie, for your advice."

"Don't thank me, what you want to thank is some very simple famous sayings, 'If you don't fight, the one who wins is counted as more', 'Use your own strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses', 'Sweat more in normal times, fight more There will be less bloodshed' and 'opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared'."

Li Xia said a few words, and finally said: "I have always followed these simple principles. They have always been there to tell us how to win. It's just that people always ignore them too easily."

Lu Xiufu stood up, bowed, and said, "I understand. Knowing is easy, but believing is hard. Belief is easy, but practicing is difficult. Practicing is easy, but attaining is difficult. Obtaining is easy, but keeping it is difficult."

Li Xia said: "I can practice the Tao, and Wen Yunsun can keep the Tao, so I admire him. What about you?"

"Jie Shuai is self-effacing." Lu Xiufu didn't answer, but smiled.

Li Xia also smiled.

He knew that Lu Xiufu had listened.

The reason why he said this is that Li Xia is actually willing to share his experience and help each other achieve success.It's just that not many people are willing to listen. People prefer to "get" rather than "get the Tao".

Of course, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Lu Xiufu is rare, and ordinary people don't need to emulate him and match his achievements. It is enough to bask in the joy of victory together.

No matter how much you always want to learn, and always want to excel, it is too hard.

Simple happiness is also very good, simple and simple cute.

Occasionally meet a few or two confidantes, chat with each other with a heart-to-heart, and smile at each other, which dispels the loneliness in my heart.

~~
Lu Xiufu left the tent and stood with his hands behind his back for a long time. Compared with the past, he seemed much tougher.

In the distance, horseshoes sounded, and there was a loud shout.

"The Chinese army commanded Xiongshan, led two hundred soldiers, and escorted eight hundred prisoners back to the camp!"

The soldiers in the valley cheered again.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"..."

Lu Xiufu raised his eyes to look at the flames in the distance, and suddenly realized that he was too narrow-minded before the battle. Before the battle, he was afraid that the world would say "good luck" when talking about this battle.

At that time, his resentment was that he was afraid that the world would underestimate the efforts of the eight thousand soldiers and their hard work.Just like when he studied hard in the cold window and was in the list when he was young.

But at this moment, Lu Xiufu was relieved, and there was more tenderness towards the world in his eyes.

A little contempt is never a big deal, and the power of hard work has always been seen, more or less, but never overlooked.

It was just like this that eight thousand soldiers were willing to endure hardships and finally defeated an army of forty thousand.

How could Li Jieshuai not feel angry?
Always be firm as before, continue to do your best, and you can be said to be tenacious.

"Which 'famous saying' does this ambition come from?" Lu Xiufu couldn't help thinking.

He turned his head and looked, Li Xia's figure was reflected by the candlelight in the tent, still sitting in the desk, with a straight body.

So, many words passed through Lu Xiufu's mind.

At the end, he murmured slowly.

"Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement..."

~~
The curtain was lifted suddenly, and Li Xia walked out.

"Jie Shuai." Lu Xiufu cupped his hands, and wanted to say something because of his thoughts just now.

"What are you doing standing up? It's rare for the soldiers to be happy, just to celebrate."

Li Xia only patted him, strode forward, and shouted with a smile: "Xiong Shan! Report again, how many people have been captured?!"

"Big guy!"

Xiong Shan got off his horse and almost roared.

"The last 200 people were captured and 800 people were captured!"

Li Xia asked: "Do you still feel hard?"

"Big victory! No hard work!"

There was joy in the valley again.

"Wan Sheng!"

Seeing this situation, all kinds of feelings in Lu Xiufu's heart, such as sentimentality for the cruelty of the battlefield, worries about the future situation, and thinking about how to behave... have all been put aside.

Victory is the most inspiring.

Why think so much?

It should be "The general wields his long sword, and the voice of a strong man moves the nine walls!"

He also strode forward, cheering with the soldiers.

"Wan Sheng!"

The shout echoed far and far, further to the east, the generals and soldiers of the Song army who were driving their horses raised their heads, couldn't help speeding up the march, and cheered at the same time.

"Wan Sheng!"

……

At this night, if someone can overlook the valley of more than 8000 miles from the sky, he can see the scene of [-] people swallowing more than [-] prisoners of war.

A snake can swallow an elephant.Full of courage, can also swallow mountains and rivers...
