Shao Song

Vol 2 Chapter 75: Loss of evidence before and after (below)

Before the spring rain, Jin Jun fell into the mud.

After crossing the Li River, Wanyan Wushu sent people to explore the surroundings, but he found that the city on the downstream node had been repaired and supplemented by the city. The so-called city was strong, and then he reluctantly gave up on returning from here to the north. The mind, angrily went straight north to Rushui.

To be honest, Rushui is more famous and wider than Lihe, and this time, Jin Junguang was to take a pontoon to follow the big flags such as cattle, soup, and li that suddenly appeared on the opposite side. There were no less than five or six thousand under the flag. The savvy Song army had no fewer than seven or eight conflicts between the rivers. Fireboats, swimming crossings, and even small-scale naval forces existed... The pontoons were always difficult to build.

In the end, the Golden Army had no choice but to repeat its tricks. From the place where the tributary of the upstream Rushui branched off, a cavalry force of four thousand men was forcibly separated, taking advantage of the bifurcation of the upstream river and the numerous shoals to go around hundreds of miles. They just rushed to the other side of the river... and when the troops on the opposite side saw such a large cavalry, they didn’t want to fight. When they saw it, they burned their riverside position early, and then retreated to a reserve camp farther north, 20 miles away from the river, and set up properly. .

Jin Jun didn't dare to pursue it easily, nor did he rush to build the bridge, but instead set up the village on the spot according to the previous instructions when he set off.

After all, the last time Lihe suffered a loss let them know that the bridge was successfully built at this time, and the scale of crossing the river could not be expanded. On the contrary, it was easy to be attacked at night, and the floating bridge might not be able to be kept at that time.

Sure enough, I didn't know if it was not the Jin Jun's expectation. In the evening, Song Jun launched a night attack again.

It stands to reason that this time, the Jin Jun had been prepared for a long time, and even had a camp, so he should have dealt with it properly.

But in fact, the exhaustion that went around here still caused them to lose considerable combat effectiveness. Relatively speaking, the Song Jun succeeded in making the battle sudden by the night and the familiarity of geography.

Of course, the more important thing is that, according to the later Jin Jun himself, the Song Army had tens of thousands of troops in this night attack!

The Jin Jun had no choice but to rely on the hastily erected camp to resist. This battle was fought from midnight to dawn... The poor Wanyan Wushu and others led tens of thousands of troops to listen to the movement of the opposite side. How could they sleep? In the end, almost all the golden soldiers on the south bank stood up, holding torches facing each other across the wide Ru River, trying to clarify the situation of the battle.

The river of Henan was shining brightly, reflecting the Ruhe in the middle into a river of fire, but the situation of the battle could not be clearly seen.

At dawn, the Song Army took the initiative to disperse. At this time, someone from the already messed up camp on the opposite side had swam to report, but told Wanyan Wushu that the four thousand soldiers and horses had lost more than one thousand, and more than half were lost or lost. War horse.

The reduction of more than a thousand troops is of course only a fur injury to the troops of Wanyan Wushu, which is also in line with the guess of the Song army’s combat power. So the pontoon will rise again this day, and the gold army will be 40,000, and it will only take two and a half days. Cross the river as much as possible.

But just after the whole army crossed the Ru River, a fierce dispute broke out between the highest levels of the Jin army that night!

The cause of the matter is actually very simple. After crossing the Ru River, the Jin Jun found himself in a new, small strategic dilemma... You know, at this time, Ru Shui behind the Jin Jun and Yingshui in front of him are both Huai River. The main tributaries are relatively large rivers. The previous battles have also shown that this kind of river has a great hindrance to the Golden Army cavalry. However, at this time, the Jin Army is located downstream, that is, to the southeast. , There is a strong city, upstream, that is, to the northwest, there is a strong Xiangcheng.

The defender of the city is Xu Shian, the safest under Han Shizhong. The defender of Xiangcheng is a bit bigger in the future. It is the remnant of the three yams of the Song Army in Jingkang from the past. He is regarded as a veteran who has resisted gold for many years on the front line of the Yellow River... But no matter what, These two cities were originally the main defensive points that the Song Army insisted on at the beginning, but now the Golden Army Sentry Cavaliers have repeatedly explored it. After the Battle of Yanling, the two cities have been supplemented and repaired in time. The previous siege was It fell short of success.

Then the question is coming... In this kind of place, which is almost equivalent to restricted left and right, hindered front and rear, which can be called the death place of cavalry, should we continue to cross the Yingshui northward?

If it is said that the people who were able to endure and persevere before, Ba Lisu, but after the continuous attrition over the past few days, these battlefield veterans have faintly noticed something wrong.

"Song Jun is stagnating us layer by layer, we are exhausted..." By the bonfire, Wu Lin Datai wanted to grab a handful of firewood ashes and sprinkle it in front of him, and pointed a finger on the firewood ashes before he came to a conclusion.

"I know!" Wan Yan Wushu glanced at the Chai Hui in front of the opponent, knowing that the other party was reminding him of the Jurchen tradition of military discussions. He was rather weak, so he could only stand coldly.

"We don't have enough supplies." Pulling speed obviously had a discussion with Wulin Dayu, because he spoke almost immediately. "Four princes, this time is different from when they came. The towns between the five rivers have been combed back and forth by the army several times. After three or four months of fighting, all the Song people who could escape have fled, and there is no way to supply them on the spot. What's more, Song Jun has obviously taken the initiative to stand firm and clear the country..."

"I know it too!" Wan Yan Wushu was still coldly opposite.

When the three of them were in a stalemate, they almost instinctively looked at the last ten thousand households, Han Chang, but Han Chang just bowed his head and said nothing.

Obviously, this general of the Liaotian Han army was opposed to continuing to march, and he had the same views as Palisu and Wulin Datai. But at the same time, another obvious thing is that this person, as the confidant of Wushu, maintains respect for Wushu in his political posture.

But with Han Chang's posture, the reaction of the three was the same... They were all half relieved and couldn't help cursing in their hearts that this person couldn't hold on to his position.

Of course, it's hard for people to take it easy.

In desperation, beside the fire, Pull Lisu turned his head and turned to Wushu again: "Fourth Prince, I will only ask you one more thing, if you are forced to cross the river, do you think that the official Zhao Song family should be in the city ahead? Catch up, surround yourself, eat in?"

Wan Yan Wushu was silent for a moment, and asked instead: "I asked you, Tatsuki is the coach of our dispatch this time, do we want to leave him alone? According to common sense, he should be defeated in the land of the five rivers. Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, right? You can't say you are being surrounded!"

This is half a bullshit, in fact there is a bit of truth...the part of the **** is that when he marched south a few months ago, he had never seen Wu Shu use Tiao Lazy as the coach, but Lazy as a subordinate. Was forcibly summoned, and the reason lies in whether or not Wushu respects laziness. After all, the right deputy marshal is the right deputy marshal. After two rivers, there is no news. 80% of them were taken advantage of by the Song Jun. It has gone to the face, so it must be saved.

But at this point, Palisu shook his head again and again, and did not care about anything with the other party, but simply said his own real suggestion: "This is what I want to say, Si Taizi, if you want to go to Zhengzhou, why not take a detour to Ruzhou. Go to Luoyang, go out of Bangshuiguan to protect the right deputy marshal?"

Wu Shu was slightly startled, and he was obviously sent to an army.

After a long time, the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Jin said slowly: "Five rivers have passed two rivers, where is the reason to give up halfway?"

Pulling the speed has completely determined the other party's mind, just sneered.

However, Wulin responded with anger and lust: "After all, the fourth prince is for a personal grievance, and will put the army into danger?"

"Is it a private grievance to catch Emperor Song?!" Wu Shu was also furious. "Have you ever thought about it, the weather is getting warmer now, and I am forced to withdraw today, if I can't catch the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, this battle will be in vain for months! The land in Henan will once again be owned by the Song people!"

Wu Lin answered Tai who wanted to hear and argue, but couldn't argue for a while. He simply slapped his palm on the ashes in front of him. The ashes rose up and flew into the bonfire. Sparks splashed everywhere, reflecting the sternness of the surrounding four top Jurchen nobles. Face.

To put it bluntly, as a last resort, who wants to admit that the southern expedition has failed?

Of course it failed. If you think about it, you will know that the West Route Army is in northern Shaanxi, not to mention that the 120,000 army from here went south to the already looted Henan, and even if there were any seizures and oil and water, it was still in trouble for several months. Gradually wasted in the city battle. There were not enough seizures, and then they were defeated, and the establishment of the system lost more than ten Meng'an.

As for the strategic purpose of seizing the official family of Zhao Song and supporting the puppet regime in Henan...

In short, at this time, I chose to withdraw directly, considering that Tianshi could not support the Golden Army troops to have another months-long siege. It would really be a full retreat, and instead of achieving any strategic results, they lost more than a dozen. Under the circumstances of Meng'an, this time going south was a complete defeat!

The thing to know is that even if Wanyan Wushu was frustrated last time, it was just a frustration after completing the set goal of the Jin army (sweeping the two wings of Hebei, in order to completely control Hebei)... Then, if this time Jin The army left in such a desperate manner, and it was the first strategic offensive setback in the history of the Golden Army.

Returning to the front, the conflict on the north bank of Rushui ended in a deadlock, and if the deadlock is completed, it is natural to continue northward in accordance with the coach's wishes.

So soon, the army of the Golden Army arrived at the third of the five rivers, which is the famous Yingshui.

Unsurprisingly, with the arrival of the Golden Army Brigade, more Song troops appeared on the other side of the river, and even a character'Yue' was observed on the opposite flag. Considering the rarity of this surname, Wan Yan Wushu and others immediately It was understood that this was Yue Fei from Jeju Town, who had gathered and annihilated the five thousand horses of the Golden Army in Liangshanbo.

And the appearance of a general of this level, there is no doubt that the Jin Jun wants to cross the Yingshui in front of him, and it is probably more difficult than crossing the two rivers behind him.

To be honest, that evening, when Yan Wushu came to Yinghe in person and looked at the other side Song Jun who said more or less, at that moment, the fourth prince was so tired that he wanted to give up. Up.

Linhe flew, he hated the lazy defeat and couldn’t give himself a definite message, so that he fell into such an unfounded place; he also hated the Zhao Song official who didn’t speak good faith and said he was waiting for him in Nanyang City, but suddenly ran away. He came out to Yanling; at the same time, he also hated his incompetence...

If he could break Song Jun's amazingly efficient artillery car early in Nanyang, he was afraid he would have locked the dragon in the well long ago, and he would have won.

If he could see through the tricks of the Zhao Song officials at the Baihe River and capture him early, the battle would have been ended long ago, and everything would be fine.

If you can enter the army without hesitation after the defeat of Lazy, at least you will never get into such a predicament at this time.

"Four Princes."

Just as Wu Shu looked at the river and sighed, Han Chang suddenly reined his horse to come to the former's side, rode alongside him, and then quietly faced him. "The end is the beautiful scenery of Central Plains, right?"

It is indeed a good view.

The sunset in the west is wild, the river is golden, the iron cavalry is continuous, the blood is green grass, and there is a breeze, and the rewinding flag echoes the hunting and hunting flags of the Song army on the opposite side. Why is it not a good view?

Therefore, Wan Yan Wushu couldn't help but feel a little confused: "Are you in the mood to talk about scenery in a place where you are in trouble?"

"Why can't I talk about the scenery, but I'm in a bad way?" Han Chang didn't turn his head, just continued to look at the river softly. "From the point of view of the general, such a beautiful scenery, it fits the place where a hero like the Fourth Prince was buried..."

Faced with such astonishing words, Wu Shu was silent.

"Four princes, don't forcefully cross the remaining rivers to the northeast." Han Chang really took the initiative to explain. "There is weirdness in the northeast, or Song Jun has weirdness."

"How do you say?" It may be the shock of the current situation, or it may be that he himself understands that the confidant next to him is the last reliance of him to maintain the dominance of the army, suppress the two people, and Wulin Dataiyu, so Wushu is rarely maintained. calm.

"I have thought about the experience of the past few days... at least two places have shocked me." Han Chang said calmly. "As a result, the Song army was too bold. The night attack, harassment, guarding the ferry, and retreat were extremely calm. The state of daring and being able to fight has been revealed. It can be seen that the victory of the Yanling-Changshe before the Zhao Song official family has boosted the morale of the Song army. , No longer the former embarrassment, this is the big one. In the future, our battle with the Song Army will be difficult to fight."

Wan Yan Wushu nodded slowly.

"There is another place, that is, the Song army is so daring to fight, and so advancing and retreating so well, why didn't we take the opportunity to eat our four thousand people on the north bank of Ruhe last time?"

Wu Shu shook his head repeatedly: "How can the Song Army eat our four Meng'an overnight? More than a thousand casualties are already their limit."

"Perhaps so, but there will always be some worries in the end." Han Chang pointed to the flag on the other side and squinted slightly. "It's fine for others. This Yue Fei has never fought an annihilation war, right? Liang Shanbo didn't mention that Yanling-Zhangshe was defeated, and a dozen of us died in an hour. It was he who crossed the clear water first..."

"What do you want to say?" Wu Shu suddenly interrupted the opponent.

"The final general always felt that Song Jun was deliberately tempting us to go northeast." Han Chang was serious. "These days, I say there are casualties, but the casualties are always small. I say that there is lag, but it can always allow us to continue advancing... The military situation is too far ahead, and it is not clear. After I recovered, I realized that this place is originally. The cavalry is dead, and it has become a state of failure to advance and retreat! Fourth prince, the final general asks, what if the lazy marshal loses again in these few days? Isn't there a hundred thousand Song army in front of it?"

Wu Shu was instinctively speaking, then instinctively choked, and sweating again.

Speaking of this, Han Chang finally glanced at the Fourth Prince beside him, and then softly released a message: "It is good to teach the Fourth Prince to know that Wang De and Hu Yantong have caught up from behind. They have broken Wuyang and crossed the Lihe River. …Otherwise, if Fang Yuefei's posture was Shan before, he would not be so guessing in the end."

Wan Yan Wushu was stunned, and only half a day later responded, "Why did you tell me about such military information?"

"Because I will be afraid that the fourth prince wants to capture the Zhao Song official house too much, but I can't wait to cross the river after hearing the news." Han Chang said coldly. "And if that's the case, after observing the last few days, I am afraid that I will lead him to the west..."

"He dare?!"

"Why doesn't he dare?!" Han Chang still opposed coldly. "In this battle, the East Route Army was defeated in Henan. What did the Fourth Prince and Marshal Taran do to control the West Route Army's ten thousand households? Are Marshal Nianhan and Yinshu decorations?"

Wu Shu was speechless for a while, and then he became more and more frightened.

"Not only that, he has already lost his nephew when he sends troops this time. If he loses those soldiers and horses under his command, how can his brother Yin Keshu spare him?" Han Chang continued to calmly analyze. "Four princes, because of emotion and reason, he will probably go... and if he leaves, it will fall apart. When the Song Army encircles the north and south, the river will be the fourth prince and the general will never abandon the fourth prince and go. The place where the stupid man was buried! However, such a scenery also fits the identity of the Fourth Prince. If you want to come to the Fourth Prince, you will have no complaints with the final general!"

Wu Shu was completely speechless, until after sunset, the surrounding soldiers began to raise the fire to establish the village, and then reluctantly said: "Yuanji (Han Changzi), what do you say?"

Han Chang still calmly said: "Pretend to cross the river, pack up the dry food, throw down the baggage, and all the cavalry of the army walked northwest along the Yingshui, and transferred to Luoyang from the Feng family, and then other pictures!"

Wu Shu just wanted to talk again, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Han Chang was finally impatient: "The fourth prince...the last general did not speak out in the army, but he kept it private, because some things were not easy to speak in public—this battle, four The crown prince was defeated by the Zhao Song official again! Whether you are brave or decisive, you are all down. Only our army has countless cavalry, and the future is still active, so I can persuade you to recognize the situation as soon as possible!"

I don't know how long it took before Wanyan Wushu nodded slightly in the twilight: "Just as General Han said."

Han Chang persuaded Wu Shu, and he was completely relieved. He was about to turn around, but unexpectedly the fourth prince still stood still. Han Chang was helpless, just about to persuade him, but he saw the other party from behind with the slight flames around him. The quiver took out a strong arrow peculiar to Jurchen.

When Han Chang's heart moved, he stood silently.

And sure enough, Wu Shu had an arrow in his hand, but he took a dagger from behind, and then cut the arrow to the ground, Linhe swears: "The grandfather's father is on top, if you can't kill Zhao Song in this life, if you kill Zhao Jiu, it will be lunch. Such an arrow will break every inch!"

After speaking, he just closed his hips and stood up, hitting his horse and returning to camp.
