Qian Song

Chapter 129 Gale Wind Zhijin Grass (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

As soon as he voted for Zhao Song, Niu Meng's intestines were full of regrets!
Before, Niu Meng always thought that he had a high prestige among the Huben Army, and that accepting Zhao Song's Zhao'an was the general trend, and many people would be like him.

——Niu Meng felt that as long as he took the lead in accepting Zhao Song's recruitment, at least half of the defenders in Jiangning Mansion would accept Zhao Song's recruitment with him.

But after Niu Meng voted for Song, Niu Meng was shocked to find out that his mistake was too outrageous.

Most of the generals and superintendents of the Huben army who were detained by Niu Meng were unwilling to join him in the Song Dynasty, and it was useless to put a knife on their necks.

Some people even scolded Niu Meng for being disloyal, filial and benevolent.

And Sun Sandai went to bite Niu Meng even more, looking at that posture, he really wanted to eat Niu Meng's meat and drink Niu Meng's blood.

If Liu Guangshi didn't let Niu Meng kill Sun Sandai and the others, saying that they might be useful in the future, Niu Meng would have wanted to kill them all.

But Fang Wuji, who was not good at composing poems before, cursed for the first time: "The ignorance of a vicious dog will eventually be rewarded, and the profit will not be known for a while!"

Not only the generals, supervisors, and some officials of the Huben Army were unwilling to vote for the Song Dynasty, but even the low-ranking soldiers of the Huben Army were unwilling to vote for the Song Dynasty.

After the Song Army crossed the river, many soldiers of the Huben Army resisted the invasion of the Song Army under the leadership of low-level generals, and there were even scenes where many soldiers of the Huben Army and the soldiers of the Song Army died together.

There was also a small school named "Yu Yin" who tried to assassinate Niu Meng. After being caught by Niu Meng's personal guards, Yu Yin asked Niu Meng sharply: "Niu Meng! Did my great governor ever treat you badly? , must be a dog?!"

The most impressive thing is Shen Liang, the chief executive of Huozuodu.

After learning that the Song army had entered the city, Shen Liang, who was resting, immediately ran to Huozuo, and then told all the craftsmen and craftsmen to withdraw.

After only Shen Liang and his son Shen An were left in Huozuo, Shen Liang said: "The governor once said that Huozuo and Gunpowder are the foundation of our Tiger Army, and they must not fall into the hands of the enemy. To be able to meet the Governor, Yan Shenliang is also a loyal minister of the Huben Army, and he is worthy of the Governor's kindness."

Shen An wanted to drag his father along, saying that it would be enough to use rockets to blow up the flames.

But Shen Liang thought that this would not only blow up the secret weapon of the Huben Army, but if the Song Army got it, the Huben Army would be in danger.

In the end, Shen An left after being beaten and scolded by Shen Liang.

When Niu Meng sent someone to take over Huozuo and Gunpowder and prepared to use the secret weapon of Huben Army to claim credit to Zhao Song, Shen Liang, who really had no time to withdraw from Huozuo, resolutely lit Huozuo, and then Huozuo took gunpowder with him. Zuo Yi was blown up, and even the people Niu Meng sent to take over Huo Zuo and Gunpowder Zuo couldn't escape.

Niu Meng's mouth was almost worn out, and he took out a lot of money. In the end, he recruited less than 2000 people from the captives.

Plus his battalion of personal guards.

Not enough 3000 people.

Seeing the situation like this, even many of Niu Meng's personal guards began to regret following Niu Meng and accepting Zhao Song's recruitment.

Without many followers, Niu Meng was undoubtedly hit and regretted.

But what really shocked Niu Meng and made him regret even more was not these, but the attitude of the top Song army towards him.

Before this, Niu Meng always felt that after he accepted Zhao Song's recruitment, the top Song army would welcome him, saying that he was a loyal minister of the imperial court, that he understood righteousness and so on.

However, after Niu Meng really accepted Zhao Song's recruiting, Niu Meng realized that he really thought too much. Not only was it difficult for him to see the highest level of the Song Army like Liu Yanqing, even Ma Kuo was throwing him After the next piece of the token of the general manager of Liangzhe Road, it never appeared in front of him again.

How useful this token is, how many people and horses he can control, which states and counties he governs, where his yamen is, and where his army is, no one told him.

As for the things that Ma Kuo had promised him, including the tavern proprietress, he didn't know who to turn to to fulfill them.

Later, Niu Meng asked his cronies to bribe the people around Tong Guan, only to find out that the senior officials of the Song Army felt that he did not bring many troops and ships, Jiangning City was still messed up by him, and the food was burned to the ground. Not to mention the complete destruction of the armor, the Song army had to fight the fire as soon as they crossed the river, and they had to be roasted by the fire in this deadly hot day, which made the soldiers of the Song army suffer a lot, so all the soldiers of the Song army complained to him Quite a few, moreover, many generals of the Song Army felt that Ma Kuo's promise to him was too much, thinking that he was not worth the price at all. Hong Zai brought 10,000+ people anyway, and he only had [-]. Run a few at every turn.

It was only at this time that Niu Meng knew that Hong Zai, who was used as a role model by Ma Kuo before, had his head beheaded by Zhong Shidao not long ago.

Niu Meng, who thought he was a hero, was demoted to nothing by others, and his great contribution to helping the Song Army cross the Yangtze River was not even mentioned by the senior officials of the Song Army.

The key point is that Zhao Song is not as good as Ma Kuo said about the people who are recruited. Hong Zai is the best example.

As for the watery tavern proprietress that Niu Meng missed, she was originally a prostitute in the prostitute camp of the Song Army. She was selected by Ma Kuo to perform this task. The outstanding performance this time was taken by Liu Guangguo, Liu Yanqing's son, as his concubine. Niu Meng wanted it, so he could ask Liu Guangguo for it.

Song Jun unloaded the grind and killed the donkey, which made Niu Meng very angry, and Niu Meng regretted it even more.

When Niu Meng came home, his wives and concubines complained to him, saying that they would be scolded wherever they went, and some people would secretly throw stones at them.

Sai Furong couldn't help complaining: "Why did the general vote for the Song Dynasty? How beautiful is my family in Huben Army?"

As a result, he was severely beaten by Niu Meng.

Sai Furong was not angry, she felt that Niu Meng was nothing, and when he got angry outside, he would only vent his anger on his own woman, and secretly kept this grudge in his heart.

Three days later, the Song army went to attack Zhenjiang City.

Liu Yanqing sent Niu Meng to surrender.

Although Niu Meng knew that he would definitely not be able to surrender Zhao Han'er, he still bit the bullet and came to the bottom of the city, and said to Zhao Han'er in the city: "Zhao Han'er, I'm waiting for trouble, because of fame and wealth If you are recruited by the imperial court and donate your city to vote, the imperial court will reward you with a high salary, honor your ancestors, confer your wife and son, and you will have a lifetime of glory and wealth at your fingertips!"

Zhao Han'er is not good at words, he just said: "Niu Meng, come and see."

Niu Meng heard the words, raised his head to look, and then saw two old people, three women, and five boys appearing on the top of the city. These ten people, including the little boy who was only four or five years old, all held A cold weapon.

Zhao Han'er said loudly: "All eleven members of my Zhao family are here, but if one person is alive, Song Dog will not be called into my Zhenjiang city!"

Zhao Han'er's decisive words not only moved Niu Meng, but also moved the soldiers of the Song Army.

In fact, since they crossed the river, the soldiers of the Song Army have been shocked too much—the shock from the soldiers of the Huben Army.

Although some soldiers of the Huben Army were not very good at fighting, they dared to fight, and many of them were brave enough to die.

The heroic sacrifices of the soldiers of the Huben Army have happened many times.

In the end, even Tong Guan was moved.

Tong Guan sent someone to capture a man who dared to die, and asked him why he was so desperate?
The man said: "This place, my home, outsiders come into my house, kill my family, destroy my good land, suck my blood, want to make me a slave again, and occupy my wife and daughter. How can I let them do what they want?!"

After finishing speaking, the man suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Tong Guan, wanting to hit Tong Guan with his head.

Seeing this, Tong Guan's personal guard drew out his sword and stabbed the man to death.

Before the man died, he still had no fear at all, only hatred that had never been cut in the slightest. He looked at the Song generals and gritted his teeth: "Don't be complacent, my great governor will definitely punish me and avenge me!"

At that moment, no one noticed that Tong Guan's old face unexpectedly showed unprecedented solemnity.

Niu Meng, who failed to recruit Zhao Han'er, knew in his heart that if he went on like this, he would be completely desolate, and he would definitely not have his share of the glory and wealth. Moreover, he let the Song army go to the Yangtze River, which ruined Li Cun's plan. There is certainly no turning back.

Therefore, Niu Meng became ruthless and asked Liu Yanqing to take people to attack Zhenjiang City.

Liu Yanqing highly praised Niu Meng's understanding of current affairs, and agreed with Niu Meng to lead his troops to attack the city. He even sent catapults and various siege equipment to help Niu Meng attack the city.

But after the fight started, Niu Meng discovered that, except for his battalion of personal guards, none of his subordinates had any fighting spirit at all, which was nothing compared to when he was in the Huben Army.

As a last resort, Niu Meng could only draw out a hundred warlords, and he would kill anyone who did not try his best to attack the city.

Under the threat of the butcher's knife, Niu Mengbu began to attack the city with all his strength.

Niu Meng worked so hard that he even personally led his personal guard battalion to charge towards the city wall.

But because the number of Niu Meng's troops was too small, they were easily repelled by the defenders of Zhenjiang City in the end.

Seeing this, Liu Yanqing knew that it was impossible to take down Zhenjiang City with Niu Meng's troops alone, so he sent tens of thousands of troops to join with Niu Meng's troops to launch large-scale group attacks on Zhenjiang City in turn.

The Song army first attacked the west side of Zhenjiang City, and moved to the bottom of the city under the cover of chariots and wooden curtains, and set up ladders to swarm up the city.

Zhao Han'er commanded the soldiers of the Huben army to push down the ladder with a ram, and threw a huge stone from the city to smash the chariot.

Song Jun pushed the giant battle tower again.

The battle tower is tied with cowhide outside, and there is a climbing frame inside, the height is almost equal to the top of Zhenjiang City.

Song Jun pushed the battle tower against the city wall and jumped directly from the top of the battle tower to the head of Zhenjiang City.

Zhao Han'er sent out men who dared to die, armed with knives and guns, and went out of the city.

Seeing that the attack on the western city wall was difficult to succeed, Liu Yanqing ordered Liu Zhen to lead an elite [-] western army to attack the other two walls of Zhenjiang City.

The soldiers of the Western Army wore two layers of armor and braved arrows and rocks to climb the city desperately.

Zhao Han'er ignored the Song army's arrows and ran back and forth on the city, covering left and right, and the warlord fought to the death.

The two sides fought bloody battles for three days. Song Jun did not know how many times they attacked Zhenjiang City, but they were all beaten down by Huben Jun.

Today, Zhenjiang City is still majestic and immovable, just like the Haikou that Zhao Han'er boasted before. As long as there is one person in his Zhao family alive, Song Dog will not even think about entering Zhenjiang City.

Zhao Han'er's determination and fighting skills moved the soldiers of the Song Army.

Someone looked at Zhao Han'er and said emotionally: "This is really a great general."

After hearing this comment by accident, Niu Meng felt as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavors.

In the past few days, he has also been very brave, rushing to the wall several times in person.

But Song Jun felt that he deserved it from top to bottom, and no one even praised him.

Now these people even praised Zhao Han'er as an enemy.

Please!

I, Niu Meng, are the heroes of our Great Song Dynasty. Are you like this, are you not afraid of being chilled by those who are recruited?
