Chapter 2284: The world's heroes are in the palm of the hand, Tongzhou captain, proud
Meng Gong is actually in a very complicated mood right now.
On the one hand, although he was saved, the crossbowman who was taken out of the city was more than half of the time.
People who seem to be alive now are probably more than a thousand, but they are limited.
On the other hand, his defeat this time was all caused by his own mistakes! If he hadn't put Marshal Jiang's order behind his head, how could he have caused such serious casualties and injuries now?
So when the young general recognized him, Meng Gong immediately thought in his heart, what would people think of him when he met Marshal Jiang again! The scene at that time would definitely make him embarrassed and humiliate.
Because he actually did the major losses today! But that was all the things that happened next. Although Meng Gong secretly regretted it, he also knew that he had to deal with the situation in front of him first.
He saw that the young general opposite was majestic and obviously not an ordinary person, so he bowed his hand to the other party and said, "Meng Gong, thanking the general for leading the army to save him. I wonder if the general's name is named Gao?"
"I dare not call General Meng such a name," at this moment, the young general opposite Meng Gong smiled and shook his head, "In Xiawu Chaoyang, Tongzhou Military Captain."
Wu Chaoyang is actually right. His rank in the Tongzhou army is indeed not as good as a major general, so he is indeed a bit taller to be called "General".
However, Wu Chaoyang was too lazy to explain to Meng Gong at this time that his military rank was actually a lieutenant colonel, so I guess this guy doesn't understand it either.
So he gave himself a title of "Captain Captain" that Meng Gong could understand.
When Meng Gong heard the young man in front of him who led his army to rush into the enemy, he was just a captain.
At this moment, Meng Gong couldn't help but secretly stamped his feet in his heart and said, "There are so many heroes under Shen Mo's command!"
Unexpectedly, a mere lieutenant was such a person. This really made the generals in the Song Dynasty so as to be ashamed of killing me!... When Meng Gong heard that this person turned out to be a lieutenant, he remembered that his military rank was higher than him, and General Meng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After that, he saw his team full of casualties and wounded, and gritted his teeth and sighed: "Why didn't Captain Wu come one step earlier?
Look at me, so many people have died!"
Wu Chaoyang sat on the horse. When he heard Meng Gong's words, he seemed to be a little complaining. He shook his head and said helplessly: "I led my army to cross the river behind Yila Pua. As soon as I got ashore, I immediately let the iron kite wear armor and rushed to the south of Guichi City... Who would have thought that General Meng would be defeated so quickly?"
“…By the way, General Meng, why did you leave the city?
Marshal Jiang has never told you to stick to the city and not leave the city?"
Meng Gong was indeed a little dissatisfied at this time, but when he heard Wu Chaoyang say this, he was full of anger and couldn't send it out! People were right, and Wu Chaoyang and the others were indeed rushing to rescue him, but they had no choice but to lose... They were defeated too quickly! And the reason for his failure this time was because he insisted on his own and disobeyed Marshal Jiang's orders.
This made Meng Gong feel overwhelmed and couldn't defend himself, and he couldn't rely on others at all! At this time, Meng Gong was so frustrated that he couldn't speak to Wu Chaoyang.
...At this time, when the Jin army was severely injured, Tiefutu, as the vanguard, had already begun to retreat.
Originally, they chased Meng Gong at a fast pace in the darkness, and they reached the light at the city of Guichi before they started to rush to the horse. Unexpectedly, they encountered a conflict of attacks by the Western Xia Iron Harrier.
This time, the 30,000 iron kites from Xixia appeared at the city of Guichi. When talking about the combat effectiveness of this iron armored heavy cavalry, even Wanyan Shouxu dared not underestimate him.
So seeing this, Wanyan Shouxu immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, intentionally setting a distance away from the Iron Harrier on the side of the ancient city.
...At this time, Meng Gong and Wu Chaoyang also communicated with each other.
At this time, Meng Gong realized that Wu Chaoyang, like Yan Baiyu, was a liaison officer of the Tongzhou army and friendly camp.
He led the Xixia army with ten thousand people, and in one battle he defeated the 70,000 Jin West Route Army that sneaked into Jianmen Pass.
Then he chased the enemy from Jianmen Pass all the way to here.
Meng Gong then realized that this Western Xia iron kite that fell from the sky actually came here!... After the matter was explained clearly, Meng Gong immediately asked the soldiers on the city to open the city gate and let everyone outside the city go in.
At this moment, in order to prevent the Jin army from launching a sneak attack in the dark, 30,000 Xixia Iron Harriers also came to the city of Guichi.
They lined up in three square formations under the South Gate, ready to hedge against the attackers at any time.
As soon as the city gate opened, among the crossbowmen who were taken out of the city by Meng Gong, the living people immediately ran into the city in a hurry.
As they entered the city together, there were also 20,000-step Bazi from Xixia.
When they entered the city, they looked Meng Gong straight! These Xixia Bubazi were wearing new scales and riding a majestic Hequ horse.
On everyone's saddle, there was a steel arm crossbow that Meng Gong was extremely familiar with! This was a total of 20,000! How could these Xixia people have so many steel arm crossbows?
At this time, Meng Gong turned around in confusion and asked Wu Chaoyang: "We, the personal army of the new Song emperor, have a total of 4,000 steel arm crossbows in our hands.
But these foreign troops have so many steel arm crossbows... What did Shen Mo think?
He is too biased!"
When Wu Chaoyang heard Meng Gong's words, he immediately realized that he seemed to be very disrespectful to the commander in his words.
At this time, Wu Chaoyang's face immediately sank.
He sat on the horse and said lightly: "Each of these steel-arm crossbows of the Xixia people was exchanged for two selected Hequ horses."
"Otherwise, General Meng thought that the Hequ war horses in our Tongzhou army came from?"
"I seem to have heard that the money for these four thousand steel-arm crossbows has not been handed over to our commander until now.
If General Meng was jealous of these steel-arm crossbows, why not talk to the emperor?”
After these words, although Wu Chaoyang had a faint smile on his face, his tone showed a slight scent of teasing.
This made General Meng's face turn red suddenly! Isn't it?
He really gave him a jujube for free, and he even thought that the pits were big! It would be great to give you some things that didn’t cost money. How much do you want?
At this time, Meng Gong and Wu Chaoyang didn't talk a few words, but found that the young man spoke sharply.
Although his face was kind, he showed a faint pride in his heart.
