Chapter 392: A Battle That Must Be Lost

As he spoke, Li Bao, who was dressed in military uniform, entered with a proud face, looked around everyone with an indifferent face, bowed his hand to Wang Xiu, and said with a straight face, "My lord, our army has all arrived at the designated position, and please show me." 『『【Latest Chapter Reading Baoliny】"

"Okay, garrison in Dazhai and be ready to fight at any time."

"Yes."

Wang Xiu looked at Miao Song and the others again, but his eyes became much gentler, and said, "A few of you can go back to rectify the soldiers and horses first, and wait for my command." ”

Miao Song glanced at everyone, arched his hand, turned around and left without any abrasion, and Ge Hao and the other five followed quickly.

Wang Demu sent the six people out of the account before saying, "My lord, you are so relieved of them"

"Otherwise," Wang Xiu smiled meaningfully, and said, "They are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, they are willing to work together to kill the enemy best, if they are unwilling, they will also be able to form a village and defend themselves, they always have to contribute, as long as they don't add to the chaos, let them go." ”

Wang De let out a long sigh, looked at Wang Xiu deeply, and said, "My lord is noble"

Wang Xiu shook his head, looked around at the generals, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "All the princes are loyal and righteous people, and I, Wang Xiu, thank you for your righteous actions." ”

The generals hurriedly returned the salute and said, "I am willing to go to the national disaster with my lord." ”

Wang Xiu nodded with satisfaction, secretly excited, although these people are still hesitating, but they have finally passed the most difficult moment, they can't work hard during the war, and they may impeach him afterwards, but so what can he not expect these people to fully contribute, tens of thousands of elite soldiers are enough to give him a little time, it won't take too long, the armament that belongs to him will really be established.

Thinking about it, his face showed embarrassment, and he sighed, "The soldiers and horses in Hedong will not do their best, and it is difficult for tens of thousands of soldiers from all departments of Zhugong to insist, so we can only divide more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to get off the battlefield and establish a temporary camp along the southeast direction." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, what is going on to set up a village in the southeast, this is the plan before retreating Wang De couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously, "My lord, what does this mean?"

"It's good to be left to die and be reborn, but it's a pity that there is only one army of us near the capital, and we can't have the mind of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat. If you want to win and want to lose first, we are all deployed along the river, once the captives send cavalry across the river and go around to the back of our camp, the situation will be out of control, it is necessary to set up a guard camp, in case the sniper is unfavorable, the troops can slowly retreat into the camp, so as not to be defeated like a mountain. ”

Historically, the Song army of more than 100,000 troops was defeated because of the Jiahe Village, which had no depth at all, and was frightened by the Jin army overnight, and found that the other party's light troops crossed the river, thinking that they were surrounded, and the various departments panicked, and finally led the whole army to retreat, Wang Xiu never wanted to make such a low-level mistake.

The generals also understood that they said that it was more than 100,000 troops, but in fact, the imperial court allowed family members to accompany the army, and many officials and their families were scattered, but there were also many family members still in the army, and the army could only fight with 10,000 soldiers at most.

Although, some people don't think so, Wang Xiu set up a deep camp, but people are also to let everyone have a way out, since there is a way out, why not be defeated by others, everyone parted ways, and scattered in a hurry, at least there is a position to reorganize the defense, which can delay time.

No matter how bad it is, in case the army is defeated, there are also people who snipe at the Jin army, giving them a chance to escape.

"Also, I have sent seventy-six generals to set up camp and stock up on some grain and grass. Of course, this is only in case of need, and I believe that it is not difficult for you to repel the captives if you share the same hatred. Wang Xiu said with a smile.

Some shrewd people are thinking about it, and Wang Xiu's series of movements seem to be in the layout, and there are signs of interlocking. Don't doubt that some people may not be able to fight, but there is no shortage of talents in the world, and there are people with lofty ideals who are crooked, and they are born to see what others are planning.

"It's okay, since the adults are thoughtful, let's do a big job." Wang De selectively does not care, has a stable rear guarantee, and always makes a desperate bet.

"Okay, each village will take turns to send two layers of soldiers and horses, with an hour as a limit, to monitor the formation along the river, and the others will have a good rest, and once they find that the captives are crossing the river, they will immediately counterattack." Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "The captives are beating drums to cheer up, let's also beat drums, and have a piano and song with them." ”

The generals burst into laughter, and the tension in the tent was diluted a lot.

Everyone went back to the village, Wang De took two steps slower, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, beware of Miao Song." ”

Wang Xiu's eyes flashed, but he said with a smile, "Don't worry, I believe they don't dare to mess around, in case something happens, the captain quickly approached me." ”

Wang De's eyes flashed with doubt, his lips were agitated, and his face was extremely complicated.

"Taiwei still has something to do" Wang Xiu's eyes were frank, as if he really didn't understand Wang De's worries.

Wang De seemed reluctant to make contact with Wang Xiu's gaze, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Since my lord is considering defeat, it seems that he is not optimistic about this battle. ”

Wang Xiu didn't mind Wang De's honesty, he didn't have any hope, so he said bluntly, "Exactly, I'm not optimistic about more than 100,000 rabble." The reason why he killed Orihiko was that he insisted on dividing his troops to protect himself, which would eventually cause the whole army to retreat and Gyeonggi to lose its last barrier. I set up a guard camp to resist with all my might, and it is best to block the captives, if it really doesn't work, the armies will not collapse when they withdraw from the battlefield, and they can still stabilize their positions, at least we can keep the main force, and we can contain the captives on the periphery of Kaifeng, so that they will not be unable to attack. ”

Wang De understood Wang Xiu's intentions, and with the support of the guard camp, he could indeed avoid the fate of the whole army from being scattered. Zhe Yan's troops are patchwork, the combat effectiveness is uneven, the generals are intrigued, and he is not optimistic about the war, since Wang Xiu has considered the back road, then let go of his hands and feet to fight.

"Well, I'll go back and prepare for war." He was decisive and brave, but he was not a foolish and stubborn person, since he understood Wang Xiu's intentions, he also accepted it from his heart, and immediately arched his hand and turned to leave.

Wang Xiu witnessed Wang De leaving, but Li Bao said worriedly, "My lord, it's really irretrievable"

Wang Xiu shook his head and did not answer Li Bao's question. Jokes, salvage the situation, how to salvage the battle, people and you are in the middle of the river, depending on the advantages and disadvantages, but this battle has reached the strategic level, the Great Song Dynasty has lost cleanly, and the big river can't stop the 60,000 elite horse army at all, the only thing that can be redeemed is to rescue more remnants and take them out.

"Li Hui's 5,000 horse army is a big fortune."

Li Bao didn't think outside the box with Wang Xiu, he was almost choked with saliva, he looked at Wang Xiu with wide eyes, he had just killed Zhi Yanzhi, and he was interested in Li Hui again

"Okay, the order is given to all the armies to fight, and General Ziqi will lead the army to be ready to meet the battle at any time, maintain order in all departments, and don't let them mess up." Wang Xiu looked at Feng Yuan who came in again and smiled mysteriously.

Li Bao raised his eyebrows, the two tasks are not light, it should be said that there are three tasks, the seventy-eighth general's military and civilian husbands arrived at the rear to set up a camp early, and the other two tasks, he didn't think it could be completed, ten thousand elite soldiers

said that Miao Song, Ge Hao and others gathered together to discuss.

"Wang Xiu killed the commander of Hedong without authorization, and we must not give up."

"Then how can you not see the decline of Wang Yasha of the Western Army, a few unplanted thieves and birds, licking their faces and stammering Wang Xiu."

"Wait, when the battle is over, there will always be a time to settle accounts."

"Yes, the face of our Hedong army must not be lost in vain."

Listening to everyone's catharsis, Miao Song's face was ugly, Ge Hao waved his hand, signaled everyone to stop complaining meaninglessly, and asked, "Is there a good solution?"

Miao Song had a gloomy face, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, Xuanfu must not die in vain, and we and the Hedong Army must not lose their face in vain." ”

"Then what should we do, we can't be restrained by Wang Xiu, I don't feel comfortable thinking about it." Ge Hao's face was furious.

Miao Song's eyes rolled, and he sneered, "I have a plan to ensure that Wang Xiu has no place to be buried when he dies." ”

"Say it quickly."

When Miao Song said the plan, several people looked at each other, looking suspicious, and someone said, "This is not good, it will not come to this, in case there is a mistake, I will be broken." ”

"We are not betraying our family and country, what's the big deal, he can kill Xuanfu, we can take him." Ge Hao's face was hideous, he definitely couldn't swallow this breath.

"Everyone, do you want to do it" Miao Song's eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake.

The south bank was in chaos, each with its own calculations, and the Jin army on the north bank was not idle, and at dawn, the cries of the people who were struggling and twisting on the north bank even pressed over the drums, and there were bursts of formations.

It was not that the Jin army immediately occupied all the north shore, and Mu Han was not stupid, he did not order the massacre of the soldiers and civilians stranded on the north bank, which could only inspire the courage of the Song army to resist. The Jin army waited for it and did not attack, so that the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty faced the tragic situation and fell into boundless panic, effectively breaking their morale.

Fortunately, Wang Xiu did not order the burning of the pontoon bridge, let some soldiers and civilians cross the river, the remnants of the defeated soldiers from the east of the river, many of them also had horses, everyone successively crossed the pontoon bridge, the dead were tired, but there were still many people crossing the river, and some important treasures still crossed the river, and they were directly accepted by Wang Xiu.

The soldiers and horses stationed at the mouth of the river collapsed without a fight, and retreated to the south one after another, and the warning posts along the river were useless. When Mu Han received the military information, he felt that the time was almost up, so he sent Brother Yinshu, under the leadership of the demoted officer Zhang Kezuo, to lead three thousand horsemen to explore the way to the river.

This is a lot of fun, not only the river level is shallow and you can cross the river directly, the pontoon bridge has not been burned, and several camps of the defenders are empty. The history is strikingly similar, Yinshu Brother quickly crossed the river and detoured to Dazhai to the south, and bluffed, creating the illusion of tens of thousands of troops. If it is still Zheyan quality, I am afraid that he will immediately lead the army to retreat, and the army of more than 100,000 will collapse in an instant. This time, they met Wang Xiu, a figure who knew this period of history well, and didn't know what the consequences and ending would be
