Nine hundred and eleven but I'm not afraid at all!
Xue Wangzu died, and died with full of despair, which made Xu Tong quite moved.
He was moved by the personal loyalty of traditional scholars and officials, and also heard that Xue Wangzu had made great achievements in the county and did a lot of good things, so he ordered the burial of Xue Wangzu.
But things have reached this point, and it doesn’t make sense whether Xue Wangzu dies or not.
Because Qi Fang and his army would inevitably be over, and this conquest by the Southern Song court had also failed.
Xu Tong did not feel that Zhao Yucheng could not achieve even a draw, so he tied and won. The peasant army once again survived the Song army's attack and won.
Another war of strife organized by the Southern Song Dynasty also failed and suffered heavy losses. The rear was attacked by peasant troops, and the potential of the war was seriously damaged.
Can they organize the next encirclement?
Xu Tong didn't know.
But Xu Tong has a temper.
There is no such thing as just allowing you to hit me or not.
If you hit me, I must respond to you so that you won’t think I’m easy to bully.
So, I have to come to see you! Bring you some gifts!
After destroying the Quzhou treasury, Xu Tong continued to gallop and advance towards the northeast with all mules and horses, eating and drinking all the way was so happy.
It was November 16th, and on this day, Qi Fang's troops were on the verge of collapse under the front and back attacks of the peasant army.
On the first day of November, Qi Fang learned that the food supply was cut off. He was shocked and hurriedly blocked the news, then tried to find out the reason, and led the troops to retreat.
The Nanfeng County Peasant Army was led by Zhou Qiang, the instructor of the Second Division. After he found that Qi Fang led his army to retreat, he immediately guessed that Xu Tong's plan was likely to succeed and Qi Fang's grain road had been destroyed.
So he decisively led his army to pursue.
At this moment, Qi Fang's army had only five days to store grain. He was anxious and sent elite troops to counterattack the peasant army, which once stopped the peasant army's pursuit. However, rumors appeared in the army that the food route was cut off and the rear was destroyed, causing chaos in the army. Although Qi Fang tried hard to suppress it, he failed to achieve any results.
As the food and grass continued to decrease, he could not control the tendency of the army to collapse due to lack of food and grass. Seeing that the army collapsed unstoppable, he could only take a small number of personal guards to retreat northwards, trying to leave here as soon as possible and go to a safe place to seek a chance to survive.
However, when he retreated to Nancheng County, he was attacked and surrounded by the peasant army who had ambushed in advance.
He was surrounded on a small hill and relied on the desperate defense of his personal guards to survive, but he had no food or reinforcements and had lost any possibility of escaping.
The peasant army in Nanfeng County survived the most arrogant and craziest period of the Song army. After the collapse of the Song army, the peasant army in Nanfeng County also rushed to attack bravely, regardless of casualties, and dragged the already complete Song army of Qi Fang until collapse.
Not only that, they also pursued the remaining soldiers of the Song army all the way, and also killed near Nancheng County, surrounded the remaining soldiers of the Song army in Nancheng County, and made them dumplings.
On November 16th, the peasant army launched a general attack, and the Song army retreated to the south of Nancheng County collapsed, with countless casualties and wounded. All the rest surrendered, and the peasant army won a great victory.
The chief general Qi Fang tried to break through the last time in the chaos.
He led the last hundred personal guards to attack the blockade of the peasant army, trying to break out of a gap to survive, but the peasant army withstood his impact and did not let him rush out. After half an hour of fierce fighting, all Qi Fang's personal soldiers were killed.
Seeing his defeat as he fell, Qi Fang was extremely desperate. Although he was determined to commit suicide with all his loyalty, he suddenly realized that he was originally a military thief and was also a rebel of the Song Dynasty in his early years. Why should he be loyal to the Song Dynasty?
Just for the dead eunuch Zhao Gou?
What a joke!
So he chose to surrender, threw away his weapons, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, begging the peasant army not to kill him.
The peasant army, who had red eyes, hated the bastard who killed countless of their comrades, very much, but out of the discipline of the peasant army and the policy of the revival association, they did not take action, but arrested Qi Fang and prepared to hand it over to Xu Tong after Xu Tong came back.
After Qi Fang was defeated and surrendered, even if the Song army attacked the peasant army was completely defeated, not only that, but also achieved an ending of annihilation, at least 7,000 people were killed, and the others were basically captured.
In order to win this battle, the peasant army suffered serious losses. After the war, Zhou Qiang, the instructor of the Second Division, took a little statistics and learned that the Second Division suffered losses of soldiers and generals, and the deaths alone reached more than 4,000. Almost everyone who lived was injured and exhausted.
Two brigade commanders and brigade instructors were killed, seven battalion commanders and battalion-level instructors were killed, and more than twenty grassroots officers were killed.
It can be said that there are heavy casualties.
However, Song Ting's losses will only be greater, because the matter is not over yet. Xu Tong is a revenge person. He said that if he wants to bring some gifts to the Zhao Guan family, he must bring some gifts to the Zhao Guan family.
He led his army to advance rapidly, first breaking through Longyou County, then breaking through Lanxi County, and then breaking southeast to attack Jinhua County, winning consecutive victories.
Jinhua County organized a certain defensive force because someone quickly reported the news, but this defensive force was not enough. The peasant army captured the county town in less than a day.
The peasant army entered the county town, killed the magistrate of Jinhua, captured the governor of Wuzhou, and then killed him.
After replenishing the weapons and food vehicles, Xu Tong's subordinates shouted the slogan of victory and demanded to continue attacking the northeast. They had already shown morale and majesty, and did not take the weak prefectures and counties in the Song Dynasty seriously.
But Xu Tong made a decision that surprised them.
"This road is not easy to walk. Since the other party is prepared, he must have sent someone back to report the news. Let's continue to fight forward, and the resistance will increase. Soldiers are very important. We cannot stop or get entangled with them. This road is over."
The subordinates were surprised and asked what to do next.
Xu Tong walked back and forth a few times, looked at the map he seized from the Jinhua treasury, and then pulled the captured local officials over to inquire, and soon made a decision.
"Collection ships, follow Lanxi northward, raid down Jiande, then transport them into Zhejiang River, and go northeast along Zhejiang River, pass Tonglu County, and to Fuyang, and then go northward, and Lin'an."
Xu Tong punched the map with a punch, his eyes full of passion for progress.
"The Zhao Guan family must be waiting for us in Lin'an! How can we not go to Lin'an to say hello to him!"
Several instructors in the army slowly recovered from their fanatical passion and raised the dangers of this tactic to Xu Tong.
"It's fine if you don't have a few soldiers in other places, but Lin'an is the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. There must be an imperial guard. We only have a few thousand people. If we are entangled by an imperial guard, it will be troublesome. Whether we can come back is a problem."
Xu Tong smiled.
"I know what you said, but I have to tell you that no one can stop us from going all the way, that is, it may be a bit troublesome to come back, but what are the iron feet we trained in the mountains for? Isn't it just for this?
The Zhao Guan family attacked us several times in a row, just because we wanted our lives. If you can swallow this tone, I can't swallow it. Don't think too terrible about the Southern Song Dynasty. In many cases, the stronger the enemy is, the more we are afraid!"
As he said that, Xu Tong turned over and laughed and said, "But I'm not afraid at all! Let's go and say hello to the Zhao Guan family! It's impolite to come and not go!"
Xu Tong laughed loudly and galloped on his horse.
His laughter obviously also infected the peasant soldiers around him.
They were also very passionate and followed Xu Tong's pace, and they no longer had any fear of the Southern Song Dynasty.
So in an instant, the world was wide!
Xu Tong and his army collected many ships from Jinhua County. There were soldiers who could carry the ships in the army, so they carried the soldiers onto the ship, heading north along the direction of Lanxi, and entering the Yanzhou boundary.
At the junction of Lanxi and Zhejiang River is Jiande County, the capital of Yanzhou. The current governor of Yanzhou is the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Tang Situi.
Tang Situi, who once held the power of the prime minister, has gone through several ups and downs in the officialdom, so he doesn't care much about being deposed.
In his opinion, this is the rule of the political game in the Song Dynasty. There were few ups and downs, and I was embarrassed to say that I had been the prime minister. How could the prime minister not have experienced ups and downs?
Such a high status and such a heavy power are of course enviable and jealous. Just as Tang Situi once fought against Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun fought against him in turn, it was not strange.
