    In addition to the necessary stay, all the defenders of Ezhou have lined up outside the west gate to welcome the arrival of the governor.  However, Zheng Yunming did not want to really "come" to these soldiers who had escaped from hundreds of battles. In his opinion, this heroic city and its defenders were the real heroes of this magnificent battle.  Without the ten thousand soldiers of Ezhou who gritted their teeth and defended, there would not have been subsequent battles, let alone a surprise attack to suddenly cut off the Mongolian army's traffic on the river.  It was the joint defense of the Ezhou army and the people that always firmly pulled the main force of the Mongolian army to the periphery of Ezhou, preventing them from concentrating their absolute superior strength to fight the decisive battle with the Song Dynasty's reinforcements. Because the threat of Ezhou always existed, the Mongolian military prepared  The good siege and reinforcement strategy failed. The Mongolian army failed to annihilate the reinforcements that rushed to Jinghu from various places.  It can also be called no small miracle.  But what a price for such a miracle!  Zheng Yunming clearly saw that there were more than 40,000 elite soldiers who rushed to Ezhou before the war and were originally stationed in Ezhou. Now, less than one-third of them were lined up outside the city for review, and all of them were wrapped in white cloth. Some were holding wooden staffs, while others were using weapons.  With their arms hanging in slings, there are probably no more than 5,000 warriors who can actually fight. In fact, all the soldiers are covered in blood, and it is difficult to tell who is injured. It seems that the people standing here have just crawled back to the world from hell.  Like a lonely ghost.  Chen Guang and Wei Sheng stood at the front of the team. Both of their armors were in disrepair. The ceremonial guards that were supposed to be equipped with them had long since disappeared. Only Wei Sheng's uninjured left hand held the weapon firmly.  The flag turned a little black due to blood stains.  Zheng Yunming got off his horse, walked slowly to the two of them, and bowed deeply to them.  "The whole country of the Song Dynasty is the result of the two of you!" Although it is just a simple sentence, the entire Song Dynasty knows that this sentence has never been said by Zheng Xianggong. Of course, even if someone makes a bigger decision in the future,  It is probably difficult to receive such praise for his contribution.  Chen Guang suddenly burst into tears. The cry was so loud that the women and children in the inner city who were hiding from the war could hear it clearly. They did not understand that the general who was calm and calm under the Mongolian cannons and rocks, at this time  Why are you crying like a child?  But soon, the thousands of men standing behind Chen Guang who had struggled back from the line of life and death also began to cry loudly. The cries were like landslides and tsunamis, washing away the anxiety and despair of the past few decades.  Amidst the shaking cries, Chen Guang's resounding response rang out: "Everyone in Ezhou depends on the Prime Minister for giving us orders!" Among the cries, only Wei Sheng had a straight face, and his face remained as usual under the black and red stains. Li Tingzhi  He smiled and said: "Among the hundreds of thousands of people in Ezhou, Wei Huhu is the only one who is not afraid of death?" Wei Sheng said expressionlessly: "When we set out for the expedition, it was said in the letter from the Prime Minister that reinforcements would arrive sooner or later, but they would be defeated in Ezhou City.  My husband has always believed his words since he took charge of the army. What am I afraid of?" Zheng Yunming snorted and then asked in a deep voice: "Are this the only number of your subordinates left?"  Naturally, he felt the pain as if his heart was being ripped out. Over the past twenty years, he had built several large armies, but in the end, what he really trusted was Han Feng's cavalry and Wei Sheng's infantry. Next, what will happen next?  It was time for a real decisive battle with the Mongols in the vast Central Plains, but at this time he had no Tiger infantry to use.  As the saying goes, a real soldier treats elite soldiers as much as he cherishes his own flesh and blood. In order to win this life-and-death battle, he had to sacrifice his flesh and blood, but Zheng Yunming really saw that he used it to conquer all enemies.  The tiger infantry only had such a small force left, but they couldn't help but be moved.  Wei Sheng replied lightly: "Brothers who can walk have gone out of the city to find cheap opportunities to kill the enemy. In this great situation, who can move is still willing to sit in the city in a daze." Zheng Yunming was surprised. He just thought that  Wei Sheng was at the end of his rope, but unexpectedly Wei Sheng still had the energy to open the city and pursue the enemy.  But Wei Sheng smiled and said: "The Prime Minister said, even in the most critical moment, don't let yourself be in a helpless situation. The inner city of Ezhou has a narrow contact area with the enemy, so each department is organized into small corps and takes turns to attack."  Although they cannot annihilate a large number of enemies before fighting them, they can delay time and allow each unit to have time to rest. When the Mongolian army broke through the inner city, each unit did reach its physical limit, but it was not all casualties, because Xianggong.  It has been said that those who are good at using military force will first use the right time and place to win, and then they will use the military revolution and physical strength. The worst thing is to use human lives. Although the enemy's army is tens of thousands today, it has not really forced me to use human lives to fill it.  " Zheng Yunming didn't praise him. He no longer needed any extra praise for this confidant general who had been with him since he was a boy. In the past twenty years, the four young generals under his command have grown up rapidly and become great Song Lai.  The pillar of survival?In the grander war that is about to unfold, Wei Sheng's wisdom is more needed than a brave conflict.  Suddenly a fast horse galloped from the distance. When Zheng Yunming approached, he dismounted and reported: "Wang Dutong has surrounded Zhang Rou at the Coiyi Crossing. Please tell me if you can capture and kill this thief!" Zheng Yunming laughed and said loudly.  : "No matter how old he is, he still doesn't change his attitude of asking for credit and reward. How could it be that if I didn't witness with my own eyes the scene of his soldiers of the Hunan Army fighting bravely against the thieves, and if I didn't give him a few words of praise, he, Wang Ziqiu, wouldn't know how to fight? Tell him to hurry up  Capture this thief!" As soon as the words came out, he immediately hesitated and shouted: "Wait a minute, wait until I come to the party in person." On the shore of Liyidu, hundreds of remaining Mongolian troops dismounted and formed a tight ring.  The defense line each held their iron shields high, and they were close together to form a shield wall. In this era, the shield wall composed of dense formations was useless in front of the artillery, but before the artillery came up, they could still rely on their determination  With his discipline and heavy weight in his hands, he could hardly lift the iron shield company to build a temporary defensive belt.  When they saw the Qingluo umbrella cover slowly approaching, although they already knew that they were bound to die, these warriors who decided to die together for the sake of Wanhu's kindness also panicked. In the past twenty years, Qingluo umbrella  Luo Xinggai was just like the giant beetle on the opposite side. Wherever he went, the enemy army collapsed, and everyone was looking forward to it. It had already planted the seeds of fear in the entire Mongolian army. This unprecedented defeat only made  This seed took root and sprouted even faster, becoming an eternal shadow in the hearts of millions of Mongolian soldiers and civilians.  In the blink of an eye, the Qingluo Umbrella arrived at the front line. Under the umbrella, the Superintendent Zheng Yunming shouted loudly: "Zhang Degang! You are already a remnant in the cage, abandon your armor and surrender immediately! I think you are brave and capable of fighting, so you immediately abandon the darkness and turn to the light. I will not incriminate you!"  If you persist in resisting the army, you will be defeated in a blink of an eye! Don't hesitate, put down your weapons and surrender immediately!" Xu Yuanjie was shocked. He usually used a gentle and gentle tone when he saw Zheng Yunming trying to persuade others to surrender. Instead of citing scriptures, he never used words to force others.  Although they were forced to do so, they never expected that Zheng Yunming would make such a menacing forced landing.  Zhang Rou gritted his teeth and refused to answer, turning to look at the river. The boat carrying his son Zhang Hongfan and dozens of soldiers had probably arrived at the north bank at this time. When he ordered Zhang Hongfan to board the boat and retreat, the child would rather die.  He refused to get on the boat and insisted on staying and dying with his father. It was Guan Jun He Boxiang who knocked him out and carried him aboard.  Since the outcome of the annihilation of Wanhu's troops in Yizhou cannot be avoided, some seeds must be left for this steel army no matter what. As long as Mongolia is still there, and as long as the Zhang family is still the master of the Yanjing fiefdom in Hebei, sooner or later they will be able to  This army was re-established.  As for Zheng Yunming¡¯s persuasion to surrender?  Zhang Rou sneered and shouted sternly: "I have been in the south of the Yangtze River for ten years. Let alone soldiers, I have killed women and children. Zheng Yunming! How many old and weak women and children in the territory under your jurisdiction have died because of you?  , with such military exploits, can he be called a famous general throughout the ages? " He was deliberately irritating Zheng Yunming. As soon as he said this, the Song army was in an uproar. Wang Ziqiu's face was as dark as water, and he shouted loudly: "What Zhang Rou said just now  Did you hear that? If you hear it, I will tear him into pieces!" "Wait a minute." Zheng Yunming raised his hands to stop Wang Ziqiu's rage and shouted to the other side: "Zhang Degang, there is no need to use words.  Provoke me! You can rest assured that our army will not harm innocent women and children during the Northern Expedition!" He waved his hand gently and ordered: "Artillery team, send Zhang Wanhu on his way!"  Qiu promised loudly, got off his horse, grabbed a tiger cannon in a few steps, stretched out his hand to mark the distance, and shouted: "In front of the enemy! Seventy steps! No. 3 shotgun, reload!" Dutong's words were the order of the entire army.  The loaders next to dozens of tiger cannons occupying the firing position quickly filled a large bag of gunpowder into the barrel, then poured the shot shells and compacted them with iron rods. The launcher struggled to fill the fuse into the fire door and raised his head.  Waiting for the final order from the commander-in-chief.  Wang Ziqiu raised his eyes and looked at the hundreds of remnant soldiers on the opposite side. Although they were facing the last moment, everyone was calm and quiet, and did not show any signs of panic or fear.  Even if he is an opponent, Wang Ziqiu can't help but praise in his heart. Only such an army can be called a strong enemy that has been fighting for twenty years. He raised his right arm high, waved it hard, and shouted, "Fire!" Lin'an Imperial City's  The guards on duty stood outside the Chui Gong Hall. The guards who had undergone military innovation had also changed their appearance. Each class was equipped with gunmen, spearmen, and sword and shield hands, with a combat team of thirty people.  , advancing and retreating like frontline troops, is a concentration camp used by Zheng Yunming to train young officers.  At this moment, every young imperial guard stood up straight. They knew that the important news could arrive at any time. If it was a great news, the emperor would definitely be furious because of the moment's delay. If it was misfortune,The news was certainly a harbinger of catastrophe for the Song Dynasty, but it was also a great opportunity for these young people who were eager to go to the battlefield to perform meritorious service. Back then, Zheng Yunming became a minor official in the world with his meritorious service.  Sir, they can too
