The First Champion Chapter 251

Chapter 297 The General's Night War to Save the Time

On the west side of the Nu River, the water is calm, and the glaciers upstream have not yet thawed.

A few war horses were drinking water by the river, and sporadic Song soldiers fetched water to make fire for cooking.

Wang Fu ordered to withdraw back to Iron Bridge City, waiting for reinforcements, leaving behind a group of soldiers who did not belong to the imperial army.

This group can almost be said to be abandoned soldiers, and their leader is Zhang Shuye of Huzhou who made some contributions when he conscripted Fang La.

Just today, Wang Fu's large army was chased by the Tubo Domi tribe again, Zhang Shuye led his troops to resist for a while, Wang Fu took advantage of the situation and let him be the rear, completely treating this general who still has the courage to fight as cannon fodder for the rear.

Suddenly, a general came and kicked them on the buttocks, and said in a low voice, "Go get ready and fight back tonight."

At the same time, everyone in the barracks, including the gang leader and the transporter, was reminded to be ready.

He was chased and killed for several days, from the upper reaches of the Nujiang River to the middle reaches, the feeling of revenge has long been pervasive in the Song camp.

The generals were in high spirits for a desperate battle, but the coach Wang Fu was a man who had never fought a battle.

He came to power by patting Liang Shicheng's horse, and he was best at flattering the emperor and his benefactor. He had seen a fiasco where corpses were scattered all over the field, and he was completely scared out of his wits.

Now he just wants to retreat to Yangyiba City, then return to Bianliang, and never set foot on the battlefield again.

The sky gradually darkened, and the fighting on the battlefield in the distance finally came to an end. Dozens of soldiers walked back and forth among the corpses with knives in their hands, and kicked the seemingly intact corpses from time to time to make sure they were Not really dead.As long as they heard a little groan, they would walk over, identify their identities clearly, and once they confirmed that they were not their own family members, they would raise their hands to make up for it.

The horses beside them were all loaded with looted property, almost crushing their horses' waists.

No one rode on the horse, because there was no space on it, Song Jun's corpses were stripped off one by one, their heads were beheaded, and the remains were thrown into the Nu River.

Even ordinary cotton clothes are an excellent harvest in their eyes. The century-old scuffle in Tubo has made them jingle poor.

"Hurry up and clean up, and soon we will attack the Song people on the west side." A Tubo leader shouted loudly, his voice full of excitement of looting.

These words were really useful, the efficiency of cleaning the battlefield became astonishingly fast, and the number of corpses on the battlefield decreased rapidly.

Suddenly, on their side, a Song army with white eaves and red tassels appeared.

These people approached faintly, with vengeful anger flashing in their eyes, the lord gave an order, and more than a thousand people drew their swords and stepped forward, fighting and fighting with the Tubo people who were left alone after sweeping the battlefield.

The Tubo people thought that the Song Army's large troops were attacking back, and everyone was unprepared. They never expected that these people were just a small group of Song Army's troops.

Zhang Shuye hid far away from the battle group, in order to prevent stray arrows, he got off his horse and leaned against a big tree.

It's not that Zhang Shuye is greedy for life and afraid of death. He is not a military commander himself. If he accidentally dies, it will be a devastating blow to the soldiers under his command.

Soon, the Tubo people, who had been invincible since the beginning of the war, could not touch their own weapons at all.

They were busy cleaning the battlefield, and the ground was full of treasures in their eyes. They wished they had a few more hands, how could they still carry weapons,

The war horse also lost its function, and even if they were willing in a hurry, they couldn't unload the heavy belongings from the horse's back.

Occasionally, a few Fan soldiers who picked up weapons could not stop the vengeful Song army even if they fought hard.

Zhang Shuye ordered Song Jun to light one by one torches on the periphery and stick them on the ground, and the flames flickered.Although it was only a bluff, it looked overwhelming, more than the stars in the sky.

Fan Bing looked around and was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. He only thought that many people would run for their lives and few would dare to resist.

Not long after, the resistance was finally extinguished, and hundreds of Tibetan soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Song Jun escorted a bald monk to the tree where Zhang Shuye was. Zhang Shuye looked at the old thief with bald eyes, and said slowly, "How many people and horses do you have, and where did you go?"

The old thief was bald and bowed down, clasped his palms together and proclaimed the Buddha's name, but he knew Chinese.

No matter which foreign country you are in, only high-ranking nobles are proficient in Chinese. This bald donkey obviously has a high position.

"This Song general, the poor monk usually only eats fast and worships the Buddha. How can he know what military affairs are important. This time I came to Qingwei with the lord, and I also want to persuade him to do less evil, so as to prevent him from going to hell after death."

Zhang Shuye sneered, he didn't believe a single word of these words, unlike Wang Fu, since he knew that the imperial court was going to attack Tubo, he had carefully researched Tubo's national conditions.

In the Miru tribe in front of me, the so-called lord is the master of their monastery, and this monk is 100% a general.

"I'm not from Tubo, and I don't believe in Buddhism. I have inherited the teachings of sages since I was a child, and I was a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty. If you dare to be stubborn, I don't mind if my sons and daughters kill one more bald man."

The Tibetan monk was a little angry. After all, in many tribes in Tubo, the status of a monk is a symbol of their nobility. The Song general in front of him dared to disrespect the Buddha: "Amitabha, Song people, do you know that disrespecting the Buddha is to enter the animal realm and suffer for several lifetimes?" The suffering of reincarnation."

Zhang Shuye sneered, and said with a cold expression: "Drag it, tie it behind the horse, and follow us back to the camp."

Several Song soldiers stepped forward to hold him down, the monk rolled his eyes, first yelled and cursed twice, and then struggled violently.

Zhang Shuye's face was as heavy as water, and he observed the expressions of the monks by the light of the fire, and said lightly in the dark: "The Fans are not short-sighted, they must have returned to their own territory, we will slowly clean up the battlefield, and then fight with the big troops." Confluence is."

The monk was startled for a moment, then continued to struggle, with a trace of cruelty and lust in his eyes.

Zhang Shuye chuckled, and said: "Just now I was joking, the Tubo people followed and prepared to attack, and we happened to flank him."

The monk's face was full of disbelief, only then did he realize that he had been tricked by the Song people, and shouted loudly in an incomprehensible Fan language.

Several Song soldiers stabbed his hands and feet, tied him from the ribs and tied him behind the horse, and urged the Tubo war horses to rush to help the headquarters.

Wang Fu's army retreated in the distance, and was overtaken by the Tubo people, protecting the Chinese army and fleeing in a hurry.

Suddenly a group of friendly troops came from behind, and the torches were like dragons in the dark night. The Tubo people, who were not very confident at all, shouted that they were fooled, and then scattered and fled.

Zhang Shuye came to the banner of the Chinese Army with a few cronies, and when he talked about his night attack on Tubo, Wang Fu's face was uncertain.

Zhang Shuye didn't care, just pretending that he hadn't recovered from the fright, he clasped his fists and said, "Wang Tejin, Tubo is nothing more than that, the previous small defeat was just our carelessness. It's better to rectify the army."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Fu's voice was a little shrill, Jun Yi's face was a little ferocious, and he said sharply: "Come on, take Zhang Shuye down!"

Chapter 298 Warming the Wine and Waiting for Dawn

The situation in the big tent changed suddenly, several guards hesitated for a while, and took Zhang Shuye and his guards down.

Wang Fu sternly said: "Zhang Shuye disobeyed orders and went out without permission, losing troops and destroying generals, disrupting the overall plan of my commander, and making this military dispatch come to naught.

If it weren't for this commander fighting to the death with all the generals, the party would decline, and he would kill the evil monk with all his strength, the whole army would be destroyed.

Take down the first criminal Zhang Shuye, and ask the court to behead him, and execute the other accomplices on the spot. "

The several Huzhou generals who had just returned from bloody battles were still bragging about their great victory just outside the camp and in Paoze, and showed off their Tubo heads at their waists.

These Xiang soldiers have always been looked down upon by the forbidden army. Now under the leadership of Zhang Zhifu, they defeated the Tubo people who had thrown away the armor of the forbidden army in two battles.

Under the elation, everyone is excited, this is the role of a famous general, winning can improve the morale and the combat effectiveness of the army more than any mobilization.

Xiang Bing wins, he really has a long face, like a child who is not favored, and suddenly becomes a blockbuster.

These generals looked like children at this moment, with pride and excitement on their faces.
