The first thousand two hundred and thirty nine chapters
Because there was no rumors that the court had occupied Qunnu City, the merchants who were traveling around would not stay here forever. They just smelled the smell of wealth and transported essential items to the army early.
He can also gain a good reputation. Such things are so popular among merchants from the Song Dynasty. Even after returning to China, he can say that he used to provide supplies to the front-line army.
The merchants in Qunnu City are not fools. Although the army is stationed here, they have also repaired the city defense of Qunnu City. This is just a simple repair. The body is handled to avoid a plague, and disinfecting the entire city is for fear of the army suffering from dysentery.
The Song army was more plundering wealth that could not be taken away in this city, or inconvenient things left by the Indians, gold and silver hidden underground, gilding on Buddha statues, etc.
The number is very huge. These are the things that the Song Dynasty once traded in India. The Indians earned from the Song Dynasty or the West, and now they have become wealth in the hands of the Song Dynasty.
Merchants are happy to exchange these. The spoils in the army can be exchanged, part of which is to be collected into the national treasury, and part of which can naturally be used for exchange.
The army of the Song Dynasty has always been unresisting in opposition to these merchants. In order to make money, these people often come to the battlefield to transport their needs to the army at the risk of their lives.
The greater the victory of the army, the happier these merchants are, because in this way, the more the price difference they can earn, which is also a matter of labor income. The danger of going up the mountains and rivers is far from having to fight.
Therefore, the soldiers in the army are often the least biased to these merchants, and even hope that they can come, because large caravans often help the soldiers in the army bring back letters.
When you go out to war, letters are the most important. Everyone knows if the letters of your family are worth ten thousand gold.
The arrival of the merchants was welcomed by the whole army. A large amount of supplies were exchanged. The letters were packed into large boxes in baskets. In order to gain the trust of the soldiers, the merchants were even willing to install an auspicious lock on the boxes containing the letters.
With the arrival of merchants, it means that the Polo dynasty was basically destroyed, and the rest is just waiting for good news to come from Wu Wanquan and Liang Huai.
Shi Yuansun believed that they had the ability to wipe out Nayepolo's remnants and also had the ability to capture and kill Nayepolo. What he was most worried about now was the emperor's will to send him back to the court.
Because once you return to the court now, it means you will never be able to eliminate the stigma again. Even Wu Wanquan and Liang Huai's credit for capturing and killing Nayepolona has nothing to do with him.
I was afraid of anything, and soon the emperor's decree came from Yunnan Road, and I walked 800 miles to speed up the gold medal.
Three gold medals came one after another, all of which were scolding Shi Yuansun for his provocation and his recklessness. However, even so, Shi Yuansun breathed a sigh of relief after reading the content of the three gold medals.
Although the three decrees were full of rebukes, none of them allowed him to withdraw to the Song Dynasty, nor did they punish him in a practical sense. The most important one was to say that the merits and demerits were equal.
Even if the previous contribution is abandoned, it is nothing to do. As long as Wu Wanquan and Liang Huai, under the command of Shi Yuansun, can capture and kill Nayepolo, the contribution of destroying the country will be his Shi Yuansun.
Although he knew that this was a way for the official to appease him, Shi Yuansun was still grateful to Zhao Zhen from the bottom of his heart. The 180,000 army did not play a corresponding role in his hands. This was his own fault.
A cavalry commanded the soldiers rushed into Qunun City. From his special clothes, he could see that he belonged to Wu Wanquan's personal soldiers. His appearance also meant one thing, and the traces of Yepolo were discovered, and the two armies were fighting.
…………………………
The woods in the dark are terrifying, especially when there are pursuers behind them. The elite of Jepolo was convinced by the woods, but his ears were raised high.
It's really damn. I don't know what happened to the Song army. He is so proficient in combat in the dense forest. In a short battle, Yeporo's army has lost nearly a thousand people.
After finally getting rid of the Song army's pursuit, the Song army was quickly bitten again. It seemed like a maggot with its bones, and it was difficult to get rid of it. It was constantly biting the Indian army forever.
ah………………
The shrill screams were heard again, and the elephant group made waves of hissings, and the fallen leaves of the trees were hit by the impact, and the rider on his back was useless to control it.
The elephant herd was getting more and more restless, and riders kept falling off the elephant's back and trampling into minced meat. The scene was so bloody. If it weren't for the night, more people would have been scared away.
But even so, the strong smell of blood makes people tremble with fear.
The night is the biggest enemy of the army and the closest friend. This kind of disguise depends on who is better at using it. The most important thing now is to be careful of more arrows in the darkness.
There were only less than 30,000 elite soldiers left in Jepolo. Although these people were not all fierce, they were all people with rich combat experience. There were not many nobles of the high caste, and most of them fell behind when they fled.
As long as you fall behind, you will inevitably be captured by the Song army. The Song army's combat power in the dense forest has not only not weakened, but has even increased.
The cries of insects and birds kept coming from the dark forest, making the originally quiet forest even more mysterious.
Hundreds of soldiers in black clothes slowly turned the strings with ratchet crossbows in their hands. Originally, every time the ratchet was stirred, the ratchet crossbows would make a sound of collision, but the ratchet crossbows in their hands did not.
The sound is there, but it is equivalent to nothing. It can only be heard in a very close place, and it will not be noticed even if it is a little far away.
After a sharp roar came out, countless ratchet crossbows shot angrily, and they shuttled through the woods like locusts, sank into the trunks, elephants, and even human bodies.
After a moment of noise, the Indians immediately yelled and even shot arrows to fight back in the darkness, but the forest, which was still flying arrows like locusts, had already fallen into silence.
It was as quiet as never before, and only the tick sound of arrows shooting into the branches of trees was heard, and there was no other sound.
Fear continues to spread, and the dark forest becomes a nightmare for the Indians. The most terrifying thing in the world is the unknown. I don’t know when the Song army will shoot crossbow arrows again, but I don’t know that crossbow arrows will hit them.
The war elephants had already begun to go crazy, constantly stepping on the bonfires on the ground, causing the bonfires to splash in the jungle. Soon another round of arrows spread, and more screams sounded in the dense forest.
