After destroying the treasury in Quzhou, Xu Tong continued to gallop towards the northeast with his mule-and-horse-shaped mobile infantry, and was very happy all the way.
This time is November 16, and on this day, the peasant army of Qifang is on the verge of collapse.
On the first day of November, Qi Fang was shocked to learn that the grain route was cut off, and immediately blocked the news, then tried to find out the reason and led the troops to retreat.
The peasant army in Nanfeng county was led by Zhou Qiang, the instructor of the second division. When he found that Qifang led the army to retreat, he immediately guessed that Xutong’s plan had been successfully planned with a high probability, and Qifang’s route for providing foodstuff had been destroyed.
So he decisively led the army to pursue.
At this moment, there are five rations in Qi Fang’s army. He was so anxious that he sent elite troops to counterattack the peasant army, which once stopped the peasant army from pursuing, but then there was a rumor in the army that the grain route was broken and the rear was destroyed, which made the morale of the army chaotic. Although Qi Fang tried to suppress it, he failed to achieve any effect.
With the continuous decrease of grain and grass, he can control the collapse trend of the army because of lack of grain and grass. Seeing that the collapse of the army is unstoppable, he can take the lead in withdrawing northward with a small number of pro-health troops and try to leave here as soon as possible to seek a chance of survival in An.
However, when he retreated to Nancheng County, he was surrounded by an ambush of peasant troops.
He was surrounded by a small hill and defended to the death by pro-health forces, but he had no food and no reinforcements and had lost the possibility of fleeing.
The peasant army in Nanfeng County survived the most arrogant and crazy period in Song Jun, and after the collapse of Song Jun, the peasant army in Nanfeng County also rushed to attack bravely, dragging Song Jun, who was still intact, to the collapse regardless of casualties.
Not only that, but they also chased Song Jun down archers all the way and killed them in Nancheng County near Nancheng County, surrounded by Song Jun down archers and wrapped them in dumplings.
On November 16, the peasant army launched a general attack and retreated to Nancheng County, where the Southern Song Dynasty army collapsed and more than a few people died and surrendered, and the peasant army won a great victory.
The main commander, Qi Fang, tried to break through for the last time in the chaotic army.
He took the last hundred pro-guards to attack the peasant army blockade and tried to break through a gap to survive, but the peasant army held him back. The impact didn’t let him rush out and fight fiercely for less than half an hour, and the Qinbing Department of Qifang died.
Seeing that he was defeated like a mountain, Qi Fang was more desperate than he was. Although he had the intention of "loyalty", he suddenly thought that he was originally an army thief and was also a DaSong rebel in his early years. Why should he be loyal to DaSong?
Zhao Gou, the dead eunuch?
Are you kidding me?
So he chose to surrender, threw away his weapon, knelt down and cried and begged the peasant army not to kill him.
The red-eyed peasant army hated this bastard who killed several of their comrades-in-arms, but out of the discipline of the peasant army and the policy of Fuxing Association, they arrested Qi Fang and prepared to hand it over to Xu Tong when Xu Tong came back.
After the defeat and surrender of Qifang, Song Jun crusaded against the peasant army, the East Route Army, and even if it was completely defeated, it was not only that, but also that it was wiped out. In the end, 7,000 people were killed and his base was captured.
After the victory of the first world war, the loss of the peasant army was also very serious. After the war, Zhou Qiang, the instructor of the second division, learned that the second division had lost its troops and died alone, reaching more than 4 thousand. Almost everyone was injured and exhausted.
The brigade commander and the brigade instructor were killed. Two battalion commanders and battalion instructors were killed. Seven grassroots officers were killed and more than 20 people were killed.
It can be said that heavy casualties.
However, Song Ting’s loss will be even greater, because this matter is not over yet. Xu Tong is a grudge holder. He said that if he wants to bring some gifts to Zhao Guanjia, he must bring some gifts to Zhao Guanjia.
He and his army galloped forward, first attacking Longyou County, then Lanxi County, and then turning southeast to attack Jinhua County and winning again and again.
Jinhua county organized a certain defense force because someone quickly reported it, but this defense force was not enough, and it was not long before the peasant army broke through the county seat.
The peasant army entered the county town and killed the resistance. The Jinhua county magistrate captured the Wuzhou secretariat and will be beheaded later.
Added ordnance and Liangmo vehicles, Xu Tong departments shouted victory slogans and demanded to continue to attack northeast, which has already played a morale and prestige, not paying attention to the weak Song counties.
But Xu Tong made a decision that surprised them.
"This road is not easy to walk. Now that the other party has taken precautions, it must have sent someone back to inform us. Let’s continue to fight. When we encounter resistance, more and more soldiers will be expensive. We can’t stop and entangle with them. This road is the end."
The ministries were surprised and asked what to do next.
Xu Tong walked back and forth a few times and looked at it again. He seized the map from Jinhua Treasures and pulled the captured local officials over for questioning. He quickly made a decision.
"Take the boat north along Lanxi, raid Jiande, and then merge into Zhejiang water. Go northeast along Zhejiang water, cross Tonglu County to Fuyang, and then go north to Lin ‘an."
Xu Tong punched the map, and his eyes were full of passion.
"Zhao butler must be linan waiting for us! How can we not go to Lin’ an to say hello to him! "
Several instructors in the army slowly recovered from fanaticism and passion and told Xu about this tactical danger in succession.
"There are not many soldiers in his place, but Lin ‘an, but the imperial city of the Southern Song Dynasty, there must be an imperial army. There are thousands of us, but if we are entangled in the imperial army, we will be in trouble. Whether we can come back is a problem."
Xu Tong smiled.
"You said I know all about it, but I have to tell you that no one can stop us from coming back in the past, which may be a little troublesome, but what are we doing in the mountains? Isn’t this it?
Zhao Guanjia attacked us several times just to kill us. I can’t swallow this tone. Don’t think too terrible about the Southern Song Dynasty. Many times, how strong the enemy is depends on how afraid we are! "
Said Xu Tong turn ma laughed "but I’m not afraid! Go! Let’s go and say hello to Zhao butler! Come and not be indecent! "
Xu Tong laughed and galloped his horse.
And his smile obviously infected the peasant army soldiers around him.
They also followed Xu Tong’s footsteps, and there was no fear of the Southern Song Dynasty in their hearts.
So the sky and the earth are wide in an instant!
Xu Tong received a lot of ships from Jinhua County with his troops. Soldiers who knew how to operate ships in the army followed the soldiers’ ships along Lanxi direction to journey to the south and entered Yanzhou territory.
The junction of Lanxi and Zheshui is Jiande County, the capital of Yanzhou, and now the secretariat of Yanzhou is Tang Si-tui, the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty.
Tang Si, who once mastered the prime minister’s power, has gone through several ups and downs of his official career, and he is not too interested in being reprimanded.
It seems to him that this is the rule of the political game in the Great Song Dynasty. Without several ups and downs, I am embarrassed to say that I have been a prime minister. How can a prime minister not experience ups and downs?
So high status, so gravity, of course, is to make people envy, envy and hate, just as he once defeated Zhang Jun in Shang Si-tui, and it is not surprising that Zhang Jun in turn defeated him.
When he was forced to retire, he remembered the former Zhang Jun’s retirement, so he went back to his hometown to recuperate and waited for his grandson to read and write again.
Chapter 912 Tang Si back donkey cart drift
Tang Situi didn’t guess wrong. He didn’t misjudge the situation.
Although Zhang Jun did make a big situation, he mastered a lot of things and did a lot of things, but he finally fell down.
But also caused disastrous consequences.
He was killed.
The news that Zhang Jun was killed was sent to his home with the news that the new emperor Zhao Shen ordered him to be a secretariat of Yanzhou.
He was very happy when he learned that he had been assassinated in Yanzhou, but he froze when he learned that Zhang Jun had been killed.
The first rule of the political game in the Great Song Dynasty is not to kill the scholar-officials, no matter what mistakes the scholar-officials made, they will never be recalled to the wild areas at most, but they will never be killed. This is the last bottom line for everyone, and no one should break through.
But now Zhang Jun was born as a scholar-bureaucrat but died.
The rules of the game have been broken, which is not good for everyone.
Tang Si-tui went to Yanzhou with a heavy heart to actively observe the situation in the DPRK. When he learned that the prime ministers were ye yi Wen and Zhou Lin, he guessed that they were not the best candidates for the emperor. Shi Haozheng was a servant of the Privy Council.
If Shi Hao can be pacified, then the position of prime minister Shi Hao can sit still for three years, but if the bandits on Jiangnan West Road cannot pacify Shi Haochang, it is worrying.
And by that time, I estimate that I will return to the court.
But if you really want to go back to the imperial court at that time, you will probably face great military pressure, and the military direction is not what you are good at. It is difficult to engage in logistics and military affairs.
At one point, Tang Si-tui wanted to resign and go home first because of the change of the situation, so he didn’t have to bear the responsibility of Yanzhou secretariat to avoid being dragged to the back in case the situation deteriorated.
However, Shen should write to persuade him not to resign easily. For the time being, I believe that Shi Hao is a man with something to do and will definitely put down the bandits on Jiangnan West Road.
Now the radical war faction has fallen. Although Shi Hao is a new emperor, he is also a conservative. Once Shi Hao comes to power, both of them will benefit.
It’s a key moment, so don’t flinch for a little profit.
Tang Si looked back at Shen’s letter and finally decided to wait for the situation in Yanzhou.
However, Tang Si-tui didn’t think that he was eating melons and watching a movie, but suddenly he, a melon-eating crowd, was involved in the front line of the battlefield.
On the afternoon of November 24th, Tang Si-tui was taking a nap after an afternoon’s work. Suddenly, he was woken up by the staff who rushed into his room and hurriedly pulled him out.
After a long time, Tang Si retreated in a daze to find out that the reason why the chief of staff hurried to take him for his life was that a group of thieves suddenly appeared outside the city and seized the gate, and now they are quickly capturing Jiande County.
The armed forces in the county town are vulnerable, and their opponents are either dead or fled, so they can’t defend the city.
The chief of staff decided to rush into the county government immediately, took Tang Si back and ran outside the city for a desperate flight, then got into the donkey cart.
"run! ! ! !”
