Chapter 664: It is difficult for the party to advance on the river bank, but the friendly army is pressing step by step
Xifeng Wenhu, commander of the Western Xia army, knew very well about the mutual infight between Song Dynasty officials. However, the facts proved that he was still seriously underestimated the shamelessness of the Song army commander Yang Zhengwu.
Just after the three armies formed a camp in the shape of finished characters on the opposite side of Raofengling and Han River, the night passed by safely.
By dawn, the Xixia Army was still waiting for the commander to issue orders to them.
After yesterday's thrilling battle, Yang Zhengwu managed to save his life and his 60,000 official troops.
When the general saw that the Xixia army over there was so shocked that he did not dare to move forward, he began to make his own small plan in his heart.
Early in the morning, in Shen Mo's camp, he was having breakfast. He immediately received a notice from the sentry, saying that a small boat was shaking over on the other side of the Han River, and a young Song army general asked to see Shen Mo.
Shen Mo nodded and asked the envoy sent by the Song army to come in. Then he finished drinking the rice porridge in his bowl with pickles, while saying to Shi Baoying opposite the table:
"Look for a few brothers with good water nature and sank him all the ships on the Song army on the Han River!"
"OK!"
Shi Baoying quickly filled half of the steamed bun that he had not finished into his mouth, and then agreed vaguely while leaving quickly.
Then, the young Song general who was sent to the command entered Shen Mo's military tent under the guidance of the guard.
"Meet the commander!" The young general said, bowing respectfully.
Shen Mo smiled and immediately asked him to sit down aside.
This young player actually pays great attention to the title of Shen Mo.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, in formal occasions on the battlefield, the official title of this person in the army must be called.
For example, Shen Mo, his civil status is "truely informed the Tongzhou affairs," but he cannot be called "Shenzhou" in the army.
On the other hand, he also has a fourth-rank martial san official who is "General Zhongwu". So when everyone is politely chatting, he can be called "General Shen".
But his current official military position is "Deputy Commander of the Huainan East Route Army", with a fourth-rank military title, so he should be called "Conductor Shen" in formal occasions.
This is like in later generations, you can usually call a colleague opposite the desk "big brother", but you must call someone "director" during meetings. This is actually the same.
The young general in front of him did not rush to sit down, but handed over a military order in his hand to Shen Mo.
When Shen Mo opened him and saw that the military order was written on it.
"I wrote an order: Shen Mo, deputy commander of the Huainan East Route Army, immediately transferred the troops led by him to the north bank of the Han River and deployed defenses under Raofengling to defend against the enemy. This order."
Let’s look at the following order, there is also the signature and seal of Yang Zhengwu, the commander of the Five Route Army.
Shen Mo nodded and then placed the military order on the table.
Then Shen Mo smiled and said to the young general: "Go back and report to the general, I will obey the order."
"But our army has no ferry and cannot cross the Han River. I also asked the general to send a boat to pick it up... I will set up camp here and wait for the boat to come from the opposite side."
"Yes!" After the young man agreed, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He probably didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. Now even the young general who sent the order knew that at this time, Yang transferred Shen Mo's army across the Han River and blocked it at the foot of Raofengling Mountain. He would definitely face the crazy counterattack of Dangxiang Tiehao! Why is this commander Shen still not at all
Yu's agreed?
The young general looked confused and said goodbye to Shen Mo, and turned back to the north bank of the Han River.
A moment later, in the camp on the north bank of the Han River.
When Yang Zhengwu heard Shen Mo agree so happily, he felt very incredible.
According to his previous inference, Shen Mo was very scheming and could even beat the spy to him in advance and arrange the war yesterday. Then he would definitely think that this move was a trick he used by Yang Zhengwu to kill people by using a knife.
In fact, he didn't want Shen Mo to listen to the order, but planned to take the opportunity to punish him for not following the military order after the other party resisted the order. Unexpectedly, Shen Mo agreed lightly!
"Send a ship to take all his soldiers and generals, and send them directly to him to the bottom of Raofengling to set up defense!"
At this point, the General Yang had no choice but to act according to his military orders.
But just after he issued the order, less than a cup of tea, he saw a small school outside walking into the big tent.
"Report to Marshal Yang!"
The young school was covered in sweat and said panting: "The 17 ferry boats on the Han River, all of which sank for no reason, and the anchor ropes were broken. Now these ships have sunk while drifting along the water..."
"What?" Before the school could finish speaking, Yang Zhengwu stood up in a flash!
At this time, Yang Zhengwu's face was filled with a blue-white look, changing alternately - now he understood why Shen Mo agreed so happily! The sinking of these ships for no reason must be his fault!
"Go out!" Yang Dashuai scolded heavily, and the school immediately withdrew from the tent in shame.
At this time, Yang Zhengwu sat on the chair with a look of surprise and doubt on his face!
"How did he do it?" At this time, Yang Zhengwu was still thinking in surprise: "On this section of Han River, the water is deep and the waves are surging. If you want to sink a ship, it is not something that ordinary soldiers who can swim in the water can do!"
If ordinary people dare to jump down this section of Han River, they would probably have been washed to Jinzhou before noon... How did he sink the ship?
This Yang Dashui was thinking about it over and over again, but he couldn't figure it out. But how could he know that there were forty or fifty thieves under Shi Baoying on the other side of the Han River! During this period, Shi Baoying almost caught all the thieves near Lin'an and Tongzhou. Those who could lead him to Lizhou Prefecture were all the prides of the thieves. In modern terms, it was almost the country's swimming sport.
The top ten members are all on the south bank of the Han River at this moment!
...
"He has no choice this time, right?" At this time, Shi Baoying walked into the military tent with a smile and said to Shen Mo with a smile.
Chapter completed!
