Three thousand skeleton soldiers, regardless of casualties, blocked the entrance of the Mongol elite cavalry charge.

For the first time, Bai Xiaowen used the soul essence of the face of death to temporarily strengthen all the undead slaves.

Each skeleton soldier is wrapped with a layer of black energy throughout its body. After being strengthened, each of their attacks is attached with energy similar to spiritual power, and both attack power and defense power are greatly improved.

In other words, these weak template skeleton soldiers, strengthened by the face of death, have turned into ordinary template monsters with spiritual powers.

Against the brave and warlike Mongolian elite soldiers, although they are still at a disadvantage one-on-one, the 10,000 Song troops behind them are not vegetarians.

The crossbowmen of the Song army, who were fed, were supported by a rain of arrows, and the Mongolian elite soldiers who shot turned on their backs.

What's more, there are also the four heavenly kings, as well as the help of many elite and boss-level undead monsters.

The battle lasted just over an hour before it was over.

Two thousand Mongol horsemen were wiped out.

The Mongol general Tachar was killed on the spot.

Later, the Four Heavenly Kings stayed to "clean up the battlefield", while Bai Xiaowen pulled Quan Zicai, took the Song Army under his command, and slowly entered Caizhou City to rest - after all, the scene of the Four Heavenly Kings cleaning the battlefield is somewhat uncomfortable, so it is better not to let the Song Army see it.

Caizhou City was the last place where Jin Aizong fled when the Jin Kingdom fell. More than half a month later, the embers of the war can still be seen, as well as the bones that filled the river.

And such cities abound in the Central Plains, and the Mongols' slaughter policy is really too anti-human.

"Ancient capital, great grace to save lives, I can't say thank you, please accept all a certain worship!"

Abaddon's aura was a little sluggish, obviously because the "cleaning the battlefield" just now consumed a lot of spiritual power. His burly body took a step forward and helped Quan Zicai: "Little things, no thanks." ”

Quan Zicai sighed: "Shi Songzhi, the envoy of the Jinghu system, prevaricated and refused to send reinforcements. If it weren't for the ancient capital, I and this ten thousand sons would not know where to bury our bones. ”

After some emotion, the two sat down.

Abaddon is respecting Bai Xiaowen in the main seat. Quan Zi saw it and was secretly surprised, but he respected Abaddon, and he also knew that this young Taoist master was a strange man in the world, and he was willing to sit under Bai Xiaowen at the moment.

"Gudutong, since you have brought supplies and eliminated the Mongol army in Henan, can you consider going north again and recovering Sanjing?"

Quan Zicai said, "The Mongol army is gone, Tachar is dead, and no one can stop our army." Quan is willing to attach himself to the foot and help the ancient capital to achieve this great achievement. ”

Abaddon looked at Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head slightly.

Abaddon also shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why?" Quan Zicai asked not Abaddon this time, but Bai Xiaowen. He had already seen that this lord of Lumen could be the lord of Abaddon.

"Now is not the time to recover Sanjing," Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "What we annihilated today is only a small number of troops left by the Mongols in Henan. The main force of the Mongol army, after experiencing the war of extermination, withdrew to the north of the Yellow River to rest. If we continue to advance north, of course we can recover Sanjing, but when the spring flowers bloom next year, the Mongols will go south again, how can we resist it?"

Quan Zicai said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the court has put forward the strategy of guarding the river, and our generals can only obey orders." ”

Bai Xiaowen said lightly: "General Quan, you have already seen the situation of the broken Central Plains. Do you really think that the strategy of guarding the river is feasible in the slightest?"

Quanzi was asked.

Bai Xiaowen continued: "I came with the army to support, and the cities I saw along the way have all been deserted, and the big city that was originally hundreds of thousands of people has now fallen to only a hundred. The bones are all over the field, and the corpses fill the river...... Thinking about Sanjing, it is also dilapidated. Such a wasteland cannot be defended by danger at all, and the transportation of military rations alone is a big problem. ”

Quan Zicai said: "But after all, we have received the emperor's order. ”

Bai Xiaowen said coldly: "The emperor is wrong, and the generals naturally can't contribute to his mistakes." Hasn't General Quan learned enough lessons?"

Quan Zi thought that there were only 10,000 of the 60,000 soldiers left, and he bowed his head gloomily. He didn't even care that Bai Xiaowen directly said the emperor's mistake - of course, the Song Dynasty was the emperor and the scholars ruled the world together, and it was far from reaching the point where the Qing Dynasty had a "holy master" and didn't even dare to mention a bad word.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Today's emperor is strong in blood and does not think about it. If we recover Sanjing, he will definitely send Jianghuai's armor soldiers to the north to guard these empty cities, transport Jianghuai's gold silk, grain, and population, and restore this wasteland. In peacetime, this is of course good governance, and twenty years of education can restore the prosperity of the north to its former glory. The question is, will the Mongols give him this chance?"

Quan Zicai muttered: "No, Mongolia has a pretext for war, and it will definitely fight." ”

Quan Zicai is not a mediocre talent, of course he knows that what Bai Xiaowen said is the truth.

At that time, the land of the Central Plains has not yet become rich, and the fundamental land of the Southern Song Dynasty will become empty, and it is easy to provoke civil revolt, and there will be endless disasters.

Bai Xiaowen continued to refute: "When it comes to standing in the Guanshou River, it is completely nonsense. Jin Guoneng relied on the natural danger of the Yellow River to resist Mongolia for more than 20 years, relying on 100,000 iron cavalry of Jin soldiers. The Yellow River had a long bank line, and the Great Song Dynasty lacked enough cavalry to defend it. According to my estimates, at least 200,000 elites are needed to hold the Yellow River moat, does the Great Song Dynasty have such a force?"

Quan Zicai shook his head.

Bai Xiaowen got up and said, "Let's go! General Quan, return to Gwangju." The Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty has ended. And the southern expedition of the Mongols is just about to begin!"

......

In December, the remnants of the Song army returned to the Song realm.

Song Lizong admitted defeat, and he dealt with some officials of the main battle faction, including Quan Zicai, who were all demoted to the first rank, and some were even dismissed.

Subsequently, Song Lizong issued the "Edict of Guilt", which was discussed in a turbulent manner.

After doing this, Song Lizong's spirit declined significantly. According to Shi Miyuan's report, Song Lizong no longer cares about large and small government affairs.

Shi Miyuan, Zheng Qingzhi and other officials controlled the court.

There are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and the same is true for generals.

Abaddon had a history that would be concealed, meritorious, but never ambiguous.

The merits of sending troops to save Quan Zicai and completely annihilating the Mongol Tachaer Department were all counted on the head of Abaddon. Soon, Abaddon's promotion order came down, and he was unusually promoted to Huaibei envoy, and the imperial court increased the supply of money and food, allowed Abaddon to expand his army and recruit troops, and presided over the defense of Huaibei.

Bai Xiaowen's goal was also achieved. Abaddon finally became an important general of the Southern Song Dynasty military, coupled with Shi Miyuan and other demons controlling the court, Changshengmen has completely infiltrated the military and political system of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the strategy plan has been preliminarily completed!
