Song Dynasty

Chapter 325 Breakthrough (Part [-])

Fang Worong looked at Lu Benzhong coldly: "Mr. Lu, the students have always admired your moral articles, and have always regarded you as a model. Unfortunately, what you said and did made me disappointed. Fang Worong is not three years old. How can you be coaxed, kid?"

Lu Benzhong smiled faintly, took out a post full of words from his sleeve and threw it on the ground: "This is a letter of advice written by Li Yanping to General Hu Yan. You can see for yourself that Hu Yantong's signature and affidavit are real."

Fang Worong picked up the post from the ground and trembled after only looking at it.

"What's the matter, Yuhou?"

All the generals of the White Army felt something was wrong and surrounded them at the same time.

Looking closely, there are not many words on it, but it is written by Li Heng.It probably means that Wang Shen is domineering and domineering, harming the people of Jianghan.

He also said, General Hu Yantong, you are Zhongliang, I hope you can stand on the court's righteous side this time, and don't be stubborn and discredit your ancestors.

At the end of the letter was Hu Yantong's autograph and bright red handprint.

Everyone is a colleague of the Sizhou Army, and there are many letters and official correspondence on weekdays, how can they not recognize Hu Yantong's handwriting.

These, everyone was shocked by this news, they didn't even have the energy to scold their mothers.

Everyone's vests were covered with cold sweat, and there was only the sound of heavy breathing in the tent.

It never occurred to Hu Yantong, a general in the army who was deeply trusted by the king's envoy, to vote for Li Heng at a critical moment.

Now the problem is serious.

Yes, now that the enemy army is pressing down on the border, various parts of the Sizhou Army are scattered and stationed in various places, leaving only the former army in Huyantong to guard the hometown of Anlu.Now that he has surrendered, wouldn't it mean that the entire Anlu City has become an undefended city.

Once Li Cheng came, he would easily take down the city and everyone's family members.Once there is a fundamental loss, the Sizhou Army will be over.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Benzhong looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, and said leisurely: "Fang Worong, the general situation is over, I pity you, you are an upright gentleman, and all the generals are fierce warriors, and there will be places to contribute to the country in the future. That's why I recruited you and others. Fang Worong, what do you think?"

"Impossible, impossible, how could General Hu Yantong live up to the trust of the military envoy and commit such a betrayal?" Fang Worong clenched his fists, hearing his own voice bitter and astringent.

Lu Benzhong: "Huyan is a loyal family. General Huyan will be loyal to my Song Dynasty and Zhao Guan's family no matter what the situation is. To tell you the truth, the old man came from Anlu. Talk. I came to see you only after we agreed on this matter. General Fang, since this is the case, sign it and hand over your military power to serve Li Xianggong, my old man.”

Fang Worong shook his head and said, "Master Lu, that's not how you should be. Fang used to be a mere scholar in Nanjing. The Jurchens committed crimes in the South, and the country was ruined. The students had no choice but to serve under Wang Xianggong's command. Fang Worong has seen what our Sizhou army has done in the past two years or more. Retire Jurchen, defend Jiankang, and keep the Yangtze River Defense. Drive out Kong, Zhang, Cao, Li and other big bandits. Recovered Jianghan. Now Hunan has been pacified, and the Moni demon has been eliminated. For the country and the people, how could he surrender Jurchen? I’m making troubles today. The students don’t read well, and they can’t understand a lot of truths. However, I know that it is impossible for a military envoy to surrender to the enemy. It is a lifetime honor for me to serve under his command.”

"The military envoy can promote me from a young scholar to a general in command of the army. This kindness is so high that I can't betray it. At worst, entrusting this life here today will also fulfill my righteousness! "

"Okay, what Fang Yuhou said is good!" Everyone shouted in unison: "Surnamed Lu, stop talking nonsense and do it! Even if we die, we will not sign on your prison, betraying the army. Make!"

Seeing the commotion, the staff surnamed Shang was covered with cold sweat on his forehead, he was suddenly a little scared, and said: "Generals Niu and Lang, since these idiots are obsessed with their obsession, let's do it and kill them all, at worst, we will promote some obedient people to replace them." That's their job."

"No need, no need, why are you in such a hurry?" Lu Benzhong looked at Fang Worong quietly: "It's still a long time, I can wait, you are all rare talents and tigers, I really can't bear to see your blood splattered on the spot! Think again, think again!"

Fang Worong was about to shake his head, when suddenly, the curtain of the big tent of the Chinese army was lifted, and a guard rushed in: "Marquis Yu, something is wrong...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Niu Qianjin grabbed him, threw him in, and grinned: "One less person is killing, and one more person is killing. I blame you for your bad luck today. Come into the Hall of Yama."

Fang Worong grabbed the guard and asked, "Aren't you a sentry outside? Why are you coming back now? What's wrong?"

The guard said anxiously: "Yu Hou, the big thing is not good. Yelu Mawu's [-] Pishi Army has already circled behind us and cut off the road between us and Anlu. Yu Hou, make a decision quickly, or we will be killed behind us." Surrounded by Khitan dogs and Jurchen Tartars ahead!"

"What?" Now, not only Fang Worong and the generals of the Tabai Army, but also Lu Benzhong and others shouted loudly.

However, the yells of Ta Baijun and others were full of anger and depression, while Lu Benzhong and his staff with the Shang surname were pale.

Lu Benzhong knew how powerful the Khitan was. Back then when Tong Guan led the main force of the Western Army to conquer Liao, there were so many elites who dared to fight. In the battle of Yanjing, they were defeated by Yelu Dashi.

The Liao people are already so fierce, let alone the main cavalry of Jurchen Wanyan Xiyin.

No matter how you look at it, the stepping white army will only end in annihilation of the whole army.

There was a commotion in the big tent of the Chinese army. Fang Worong frowned and shouted: "What's the trouble? If the government defeats them once, we can do it too!"

Over there, the staff surnamed Shang looked at Lu Benzhong with a pale face: "Master Lu, something is wrong, what should we do?"

Lu Benzhong felt that he was a little out of breath: "What else can I do? I must immediately and immediately grasp the troops, and then rush across Fuhe and pull the troops back to Anlu to join Li Yanping and Li Cheng. It can also maintain the situation in Anlu.”

The staff member surnamed Shang stumbled, pointed to the people below and said: "My lord, look at the situation, these thieves have no intention of submitting to the army, you have to make up your mind early!"

Below, Fang Worong is still boosting morale: "Yelu Mawu was defeated by the military envoy before, and he was already afraid of us. Our army is all cavalry, and Liao dogs are mostly infantry. Cavalry has already accounted for [-]% of the infantry. On the one hand, this is harmony, this is the first; second, Khitan is not familiar with the terrain from afar, and our army has been stationed here for many days, and the mountains and rivers with a radius of hundreds of miles are all in our chests. Third, it is night and the Khitans cannot see. But the horses can march at night. And the weather is very good recently, the road is dry and solid, which is suitable for the cavalry to attack, this is the right time."

He said loudly: "The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people are all three. If there is a battle, I have a [-]% chance of winning. As for the remaining [-]%, it depends on God's will. Don't worry, everyone. Rectify the army and horses, kill them in one go, and break through the Fuhe Wharf."

Hearing what Fang Worong said, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and said in unison: "General Fang is right, Yelu Mawu, our defeated generals are nothing more than ours, so why not be afraid."

Immediately, everyone was full of confidence to win.

At this time, the staff surnamed Shang next to Lu Benzhong yelled: "Everyone be quiet, hehe, you are all dying, do you still want to discuss how to break through Fuhe and return to Anlu? Let me ask you, do you want to?" Sign here. Otherwise, don’t blame our ruthless subordinates? We will kill you all today, and replace them with a group of obedient people to lead the troops.”

"Lu Benzhong, things have come to this point, life and death are at stake, and you are still thinking about playing tricks, grandpa would rather die than surrender!"

"Lü, come, kill grandpa!"

"Fuck you, come on, kill!"

Everyone cursed.

When had Lu Benzhong been scolded so much by so many people, he felt a little embarrassed.

After a long time, he finally said: "Generals, this is the end of the matter, and the military situation is extremely urgent. Since everyone is unwilling to join Li Yanping and Lu Benzhong, then don't blame the old man, do it!"

"Yes!" Niu Qianjin and Lang Wanjun agreed at the same time.

The two had already discussed it before, and when they did it, Lang Wanjun guarded the tent door with a weapon in his hand, not letting anyone escape.And Niu Qianjin is in charge of doing it.

The two of them are well-known strong men in the army, with high martial arts skills, they are the top two warriors in the Step White Army.Otherwise, it would have been impossible to be promoted from an ordinary cavalryman to the capital.

Speaking of it, in the Sizhou Army, if you want to enter the Stepai Army as a knight, the requirements are very strict.First of all, you have to know how to ride a horse, and your riding skills can't be too bad.Second, you can't be too tall.If everyone was a strong man like Yue Yun, Hu Yantong, and Niu Gao, they would have to use thousands of horses to move them, but where would the Sizhou army find so many horses?

If you are too big, the horse will be exhausted first after sitting on the saddle and rushing several times.

Therefore, the best cavalry should be short, bow-legged men like Fang Worong.

Anyway, in a word, the smaller the burden on the horse, the better.

There are precedents for this, in the modern society where Wang Shen lives.When the [-] edition of "Water Margin" was filmed, the actor who played Hu Yanzhuo with double whips crushed two horses because he was too tall and heavy.

Another thing is that you must have the courage to charge in front of the enemy's thick infantry formation and spears sticking out like a forest.

Courage is naturally not lacking in the soldiers of the White Army.But most of them are small, with no loss of physical strength, not tall, and their strength is naturally slightly inferior to that of strong men.

At this moment, in the face of the two strong men, Niu and Lang, who are fully armored, they have almost no ability to resist.
