Chapter 212 Allocating horses

Suddenly there was a hint of chill on his face. Gao Jichong wiped it with his hands, his hands were covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it was raining at all. He took a few steps back and looked up at the sky. The rain was a little heavier and gradually became visible to the naked eye.

"Kill!" Gao Jichong was overjoyed. The rain could add a lot of difficulties to the opponent's siege. As long as he persisted, the opponent would withdraw his troops soon. The soldiers on the city also discovered this. Although the rain also made them uncomfortable, it was much more comfortable than the Song army who climbed the ladder in the rain.

"General, it's not good, it's raining." Yu Wen Su, who was supervising the battle under the city, felt like he ran back to report the moment he found it rained. The spring rains took several days and it was very cold. If he didn't pay attention, the soldiers would easily get sick.

"Mingjin withdraws the troops!" Murong Yanzhao turned over and continued to sleep. It was really a spring sleep that was not clear!

"General, hold on for a while and you may be able to attack the city." Yuwen Su felt that it was a pity to retreat now. This retreat, before the rain stopped, there would be no attack. The defenders in the city could recover and would have to pay a greater price next time.

"What can I do if I don't retreat? The other party is not a fool. At this time, I must have made a concerted effort. Continuing to attack the city will only let the soldiers die in vain." As a long-time general on the battlefield, how could the other party not know what the other party thought?

"What should we do?" Yuwen Su had no choice. Now that things have come to this point, the heavens are not good, and manpower is in poverty.

"Write memorials and send them to the palace. Don't delay, you will know what to do in two days." Although the battle was atrocities, it was a little good. You don't have to take responsibility. You just need to do it according to your will.

"General, are you sick?" Yu Wen Su turned around and was about to inform the withdrawal of troops. He couldn't help but ask, General has been sleeping for too long these days.

"It's okay, spring is sleepy, autumn is exhausted and summer is not bad, and winter is too cold. I will be considered as a way to take care of my health and enjoy the joy of family. Otherwise, when I retire and return home, my health will not work. It's too regretful." Murong Yanzhao knew very well that he should be relieved of his family in a few years. He is still here, and it is also a sign. Sooner or later, he will give way to Cao Bin and Pan Mei and others. When he returned to his hometown and planted some flowers and plants, his second son wrote to him saying that he had given birth to a fat boy, which was one step ahead of the eldest, and he had never seen him.

"This..." Yu Wensu was speechless for a moment, and he said that he would be in no time for the next year. He had no choice but to leave the tent, notify Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and then go back to his place to think about how to submit a memorial to the person in the palace.

As soon as the Song army sounded, a huge cheer burst out from the top of Jiangling City. They once again defeated the Song imperial guards. They fought against nearly 10,000 Song troops with more than 10,000, and it was foreseeable that they could continue to persevere.

Gao Jichong hung his long knife back to his waist. He had already prepared hot food under the city, and waited for the soldiers to go down to eat and drink. Every day, there was no end to the food, and there were a lot of leftovers, because many people could no longer eat the food.

It is very convenient to eat the mountains and water. In Jiangling City, eating the fresh river is all right. Everyone can get a big bowl of fish soup, which has a lot of fish meat. Gao Jichong drank a bowl of fish soup. Today, he killed too many people and had no appetite. He went back to the house to wash and rest. Judging from the rain in front of him, he should be able to rest for two days.

Gao Ji Chong turned over and rode the war horse led by his personal soldiers, and ran towards the end of the street with his horse's belly. These days, there were few people in Jiangling City, and there were basically no one on the streets. Gao Ji Chong rode his horse and ran wildly.

After incense, he arrived at the door of the De Mansion. The guard at the door told him that Manager Su from Jianzhou Trading Company was waiting in the mansion.

Su Lie is now a regular visitor to the General's Mansion. Gao Jichong was not there, so the housekeeper asked him to wait in the front hall, with tea, water and pastries, all available.

"Congratulations to the general and repel the enemy." Su Lie walked forward and bowed.

"Why are you back? Why don't you go back to Jianzhou directly with Brother Sun?" Gao Jichong took off his armor, put on a robe, and sat down in the main seat with the help of his maid.

"It's just a small merchant. The general is not afraid. What's there to be afraid of?" Su Lie picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said leisurely.

"I am just reluctant to give up on my ancestors' foundation and always want to work hard. In your business, shops are rented. You can leave when you should, and don't force yourself to stay." Gao Jichong felt that Su Lie didn't need to stay here. There is a big deal in Jiangling City today, and others can't do it.

"The rules in this city were all set by the general, and the young ones were unwilling to destroy them. This was what my marquis told me to bring to the general before leaving." Su Lie handed the letter left by Sun Yu to Gao Jichong.

After reading the letter, Gao Jichong was a little moved. This brother whom he had never met had actually thought of a way out for him.

"What do you think?" Su Lie knew the content of the letter. He wanted to know whether Gao Jichong would go south, so he could also find a way to pass the news back.

"That day, Gao also wanted to use his strength to break out into a world. He probably wouldn't go unless he had to." Gao Jichong, if he was willing to be inferior, why fight the Song army to the death. He originally thought that the Song army would inevitably retreat because he wanted to retain his strength and deal with the threat from the north. But unexpectedly, he actually increased his troops, and clearly he wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey at any cost.

"The general is resting early, the younger ones will take a step first." Su Lie was very tactful and got the reply. He immediately stood up and bowed. Gao Jichong was obviously tired.

Gao Jichong nodded, pinched the letter with his right hand, and kept rubbing it. It was certainly a good idea to go south. If he wanted to continue fighting, Sun Yu would definitely give him a chance. If he didn't want to take that batch of silver and flee overseas, he could live a free life, but he didn't want to, and he wanted to fight again. Jiangling City was too close to the Song Dynasty. If he went to a far place, could he make a comeback? He felt that even if Sun Yu was in his position, he might not be able to do better than him. Moreover, Nanchu is in chaos now. If he only brought one cavalry, crossing the border would be easy.

Although the spring rain was neither too fast nor too slow, it was extremely dense, mixed with gusts of cold wind, which was unbearable. The Song army was buried in tents, except for the occasional convenience of coming out to eat, and there were basically no people in the camp except patrolling soldiers.

"General, the secret letter from the official family has arrived." Yuwen Sugang took the secret letter from the camp gate, held an umbrella, and trotted all the way to Murong Yanzhao's tent and said.

"Come in." Murong Yanzhao didn't sleep this time, so he lit an oil lamp to read the book, titled "Records of the Grand Historian".

"The General is in great interest today." Yuwen Su has been following Murong Yanzhao for many years. He has not read much. Now it is quite relevant to the Second Master's attitude of reading Spring and Autumn at night.

"Open it and see what they said." Murong Yanzhao glanced at Yuwen Su. Scholars were just pretentious. It would be fine if they had rained so hard, but they had to wipe them for a long time after entering the tent.

"The general may wish to guess." Yu Wen Su opened the letter, but only a few dozen words.

"After the rain stops, siege the city immediately, with a limit of ten days

Inside, take Jiangling." Murong Yanzhao picked up the teacup and took a sip. What kind of tricks can he have?

"It's not bad at all, the general is wise." Yuwen Su was happy, walked forward, handed the letter to Murong Yanzhao. Murong Yanzhao took it and glanced, kneaded it into a ball, threw it into a charcoal basin, and instantly burned it to ashes.

"It's the wise official family, and I'll just wait for a chance." After Murong Yanzhao finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his words were a bit strange, and why was it exactly the same as what Zhao Pu said.

Sun Yu and his party were lucky, and they were not delayed by the rain. They marched for five consecutive days and had already arrived at the territory of Jianzhou for two days, which was two days faster than when they went there. This was the benefit of Maduo. Along the way, they avoided the big city and walked through it before the governors in various places had already reacted, and they were still peaceful.

"Depend 300 horses to each regiment to train the scout team, and transfer another 300 horses to the personal guard camp. The rest are all in the cavalry camp. No, it's time to call the regiment." Sun Yu said to the evil dog beside him, Gao Huichang and Han Zaiwu. In the future, the personal guard camp was also a kind of cavalry. Sun Yu fought and rode horses and walked, and could not keep up at all. As for not being able to ride, then training is just that, this evil dog will do it.

The remaining cavalry regiments were given 2,900 war horses. Such a large-scale cavalry was basically the only one that went south of the Yangtze River. Generally, a military governor had no more than 500 cavalry. After half a year, the cavalry under Sun Yu had nearly 4,000 cavalry. The training period of half a year was definitely shorter, but the advantage was enough against infantry.

"Sir, is this regiment commander?" Han Zaiwu asked first. He and Gao Huichang were both battalion commanders before, but now they have finally been promoted to the regiment. They can also walk up and get some military pay.

"It is directly divided into two regiments, each of you serves as the leader of the regiment, and the brothers below move upwards." Most of the people in the cavalry camp followed Sun Yu very early. Especially the young men at that time, they were all pulled by him, which was considered to be the one he absolutely trusted, and they had to give them some treatment they deserve.

Now under Sun Yu's command, Cheng Zhenbei and Chen Qiba are the Ranger General, from the fifth rank. The other regiment commanders, including the newly surrendered, Zhang Daqiu and Sun Sandao, are all guerrilla generals, from the fifth rank. The evil dog is the lieutenant, and the sixth rank. Now Han Zaiwu and Gao Huichang have also entered the ranks of the lieutenant.

Gao Huichang and Han Zaiwu looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Now they are developed. Under Sun Yu's command, the military salary is much higher for every level of promotion.

"You can bring these war horses to the place. If you can't handle it, go to the yamen to find Mr. Xu. There is nothing special, don't bother me." Sun Yu shook the reins, and the fire immediately accelerated. In another ten days, Ju Yao should give birth, so how could he have time to care about so much?

"I have to pick the three hundred war horses from my personal guard camp first. In the afternoon, I will bring people to find the two lieutenants." The evil dog bowed his hand and said to the two freshly released lieutenants. Although they are all good war horses, there are always some differences. If you can pick them first, it would be better.

"Don't worry, the horses of the personal guard camp must be the best." Gao Huichang quickly replied that the personal guard camp is responsible for Sun Yu's safety, and that must not be a mistake. In the past, the cavalry battalion was usually responsible for guarding Sun Yu's side and left, and there was no need to do so in the future. All of this was left to the personal guard camp. They could let go of their hands and feet to earn military merits.

"Hey, Marquis..." Xu Yi lame his legs and saw Sun Yu walking by, quickly followed him and shouted, as if he had something to tell him.
