Chapter 043: Breaking the Momentum

"Thank you General for saving your life!"

On the snow, unkempt and ragged people, men, women and children, knelt on the ground.

"Daguanren, this is the people rescued from Qingcheng. The Jurchens retreated in a hurry, and the people were saved. ”

"Everybody get up."

Wang Song nodded, pondered for a moment, and said to the ragged and unkempt people in front of him: "Everyone should bring as much food as possible and hurry into the city." After a while, the Jurchens were afraid and chased after them again. ”

There is such a shortage of food in the city of Tokyo, and the food that has been grabbed is only a drop in the bucket, where is there enough for the millions of people in the city of Tokyo. Besides, there is still a shortage of wages in the city, and the people do not know how to make fires and cook.

The people thanked one after another, and the sergeant arranged for the people to leave.

The crowd dispersed, and several people walked out, and a thin old man in his fifties bowed solemnly and said: "In Xia Ouyang Xun, it is the imperial envoy who was sent to cede Shenzhou. Thank you, General Wang, for saving your life. ”

Zhang Xian said on the side: "This person is indeed an envoy of the imperial court. When the Jin people attacked the city, they coerced this person to surrender under the city. This person wept loudly, and reluctantly said that the city guards the army and the people, strictly guards against death, and serves the country loyally, and is indeed a loyal and righteous person! ”

Wang Song didn't dare to slack off, bowed back, and said in a deep voice: "Ouyang Gong, the outside of the city is dangerous, please enter the city quickly, and we will talk about it later." ”

"Sure enough, it's the Great Wall of my Great Song Kingdom!"

Ouyang Xun praised it, and with the support of the people around him, he staggered away, obviously injured a lot.

Looking at the wounded all over the ground, under the support of the sergeant or on a stretcher, one by one they were transferred to the city, Wang Song's heart was heavy.

In this battle, I don't know how many fresh lives there are, have come to an end.

"Brother Zhang Heng, what about the casualties of the brothers?"

"Daguan, there are only more than 5,300 cavalry left, including more than 600 light and serious wounded, and the old brother has lost more than half."

Zhang Heng came up, his face was gloomy, and he couldn't see the joy of victory at all.

Sure enough, as Wang Song said, at least half of the casualties were killed.

"What about the loss of the footmen?"

Wang Song nodded and asked in a low voice.

In Wang Song's imagination, although there were also "10,000 enemies", the cavalry was basically carrying the other party, and the losses were much heavier. And because of the large use of "10,000 enemies" and the large number of archers, the foot soldiers should lose less.

"Dong Ping's infantry array, the sword and shield hands lost nearly 700 people, which is equivalent to being disabled. The pikemen lost more than 3,200 people, and the whole lost 4,000 people. ”

"As for Li Yanxian and Zhang Heng's infantry array, the losses exceeded 10,000 people. This is equivalent to 41,000 men in the army, nearly 6,000 cavalry and more than 14,000 infantry soldiers, for a total loss of more than 20,000!"

Zhang Heng said in a deep voice. The loss was so great this time, and in the end, it was able to retreat with all his body, completely because Wanyan Zongwang's life and death were unknown, and the Song army was able to win a miserable victory.

"Tell Deng Shixiong that the bodies of the brothers should be brought back to me one by one. They are all warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country, and I hope the court will remember them!"

Wang Song patted the snow on his buttocks and stood up.

"I hope this sacrifice is worth it!"

If those capitulation factions in the DPRK and the Central Committee come out again to make trouble and engage in some kind of humiliating peace talks, I am afraid that most of the efforts they have fought today will be useless.

The snowy fields are littered with corpses of different appearances and layers. The snow-white wilderness was now in shambles, and blood had turned the snow into a crimson swamp. Wild dogs wandered and howled far around the battlefield, and the whole world was silent.

Wu Ge was still excitedly asking the soldiers to count the corpses of the golden soldiers on the snow. In his opinion, no matter how many soldiers were killed or wounded, it was far less real than the corpses of these Jurchens.

In fact, just like Wanyan Zongwang, many of the Jurchen knights' wounded and corpses were snatched away by the Jurchens. Han'er's corpse was thrown everywhere, but no one cared.

"Wu Tong, hurry up and let the brothers withdraw!"

Wang Song beckoned: "As long as the grain and horses, those gold and silver treasures can be brought, don't remember the numbers, it's not of much use!"

The cavalry on both sides lost more than 10,000 combined, and the captured horses made the total number of horses of the Song army still more than 11,000, basically the same. But dead horses are different.

In these years, human meat, cat meat, and mouse meat can be eaten, but how can horse meat not be eaten! There were six or seven thousand dead horses and 2 million catties of meat on this position, which was enough for the soldiers to consume for 10 days and half a month.

Zhang Xian came over and whispered in Wang Song's ear: "Big official, fold the little lady and put some gold, silver and jewelry, saying that you have no money to spare as a big official, and you must have something to reward your subordinates." The villain has already let the brothers hide it, and he will enter the city at the latest, and hereby tell the big officials. ”

Wang Song looked around, and there was no longer a figure of Zheyuexiu.

He was stunned, nodded and asked, "Is the little lady already gone?"

Zhang Xian nodded and said: "The little lady has already entered the city, and His Majesty has been urging, let me wait to enter the city quickly, so as not to cause trouble."

Before the words fell, He Li and the others had already beaten their horses and shouted from a distance: "General Wang, it turns out that you are here." Your Majesty has a decree, please enter the city quickly!"

When the loyal and righteous army entered the city, the sky was already bright, and on both sides of the royal street, there were people standing full, many people were holding egg cakes and other things in their hands, and everyone was looking at the loyal soldiers who entered the city with respect.

"Long live the Loyal Volunteers!"

The people shouted.

Wang Song clenched his fists, looked in the direction of the imperial city in front of him, and said solemnly:

"Long live my Great Song Tianzi, long live it!"

……

"No, wake up, wake up!"

More than 20 miles south of the city of Tokyo, in the new Jurchen camp, in a felt tent, the Jurchen generals were all gloomy, and Wanyan Zongwang was covered in blood, lying on the couch, motionless.

"Sticky Han, don't shout, don't be impatient, let the medical officer quickly take a look at the injuries that are inseparable!"

Wanyan Lou pulled away the impatient Wanyan Zonghan, waved his hand, the medical officer trembled, and hurriedly stepped forward to check Wanyan Zongwang's injuries.

"How, isn't there anything wrong with the separation?"

After Yan Lou's interrogation, the medical officer shook his head and said, "The marshal has many injuries on his body, he has lost too much blood, and some iron pieces are still in his body, so I am afraid it will be difficult to recover." The villain has to do his best!"

"You fucking shit!"

After Yan Zonghan slapped him, the medical officer who hit him was dizzy, and then he was about to pull out the knife, but Wanyan Lou hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Sticky Han, don't be impatient, this won't help!"

Wanyan Xiyin said loudly: "Hurry up and let the medical officer treat it first." If you can't get rid of your body, you may be able to survive it!"

The medical officer stepped forward and immediately began to heal, and all the Jurchen generals were shocked to see it. Wanyan Zongwang's body was scarred, and there were as many as five or six pieces of shrapnel that had been cleared out of his legs alone.

The most important thing is the two injuries under the lower abdomen, which can really be said to be disemboweled, the medical officer cleaned the wounds, treated them with wound medicine, and bandaged them, Wanyan Zongwang finally woke up.

"Sticky ...... Han, Heein, you ...... How will it ...... Here?"

After seeing Yan Zongwang's pale face and his life hanging by a thread, everyone was secretly weeping. Wanyan Zongwang saw everyone's faces, and he also knew what was going on.

"No, you just take care of your life and injuries, don't take care of the rest of the army in advance, you have Lou Room and Xiyin them."

Wanyan Zongwang closed his eyes gently. Wanyan Zonghan asked the medical officer to take care of him. The group walked out.

At the door of the barracks, dozens of Yan Zongwang's own soldiers were beaten to a blur of flesh and blood, stripped naked, tied to trees to show the public, many of them had frozen to death, and the others were also dying, shouting something indistinctly.

"Useless things, even the master can't protect them, what use do you want!"

Most of the 200 soldiers of Wanyan Zongwang died under the "10,000 enemies" of the Song army, and the remaining dozens of them could not escape their fate.

Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Lou looked at each other, and both of them saw the pain in each other's eyes.

In today's battle, the number of losses is shocking, and it is quite similar to the battle outside Xuanhua Gate. More than 6,000 Jurchen knights, 16,000 Han foot soldiers, just like that, disappeared out of thin air.

It was not that the soldiers were greedy for life and afraid of death, many warriors in the army, even the captains and ex-husbands of Hulu, Ali Scrape, and Taishi, were also lost in the hands of the Song people one by one, and Taishi was even beheaded.

Today, there are still two or three thousand wounded warriors in this army, and there are nearly 800 Jurchen warriors alone. The wounds on these people's bodies were so large and they lost so much blood that a group of Jurchen generals were secretly frightened, and they really didn't know how many of these warriors could survive.

There are also those sergeants who are missing arms and legs, such disabilities make them have to quit the battle forever, and they will be a waste in the future, and they will have no half value.

Hearing the groans and screams of pain all over the camp, Yan Zong's anger burned inside, but he was helpless.

"Xi Yin, you return to the Liujiasi camp first, so as not to be attacked by the Song army."

Wanyan Zonghan gradually calmed down, and frowned: "There are so many elites in Tokyo City, why is there no sign in front!" In the battle outside Xuanhua Gate, more than half of the Song Ting's reinforcements have been lost, where is this combat power? If the Song army had such elites, why didn't they sacrifice themselves when the Xuanhua Gate was breached! What the hell is Song Jun doing?"

If he knew that this was the dying blow of the Song people, and if he was desperate, he would definitely be angry.

"We are not seriously injured, our army is demoralized, and siege is not our army's strong point."

Wan Yan Lou's face was solemn, and he shook his head and said: "In this battle alone, the morale of the Song army has risen greatly, and the city is defended, coupled with the sharp firearms, I am afraid that Tokyo City will not be easy to attack." ”

Wanyan Zonghan was upset in his heart, got up and left. The Jurchen knights came and went like the wind, using plundering as supplies, without the worry of baggage and logistics, and completely relying on war to feed the war.

It's just that under the city of Tokyo, he suffered continuous blows, not to mention the loss of troops, and even Wanyan Zongwang, who was the marshal of the East Road, could not be spared, which made him feel a sense of foreboding in his heart.

If the Song people attacked Liujia Temple......

Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but shudder. He has always been murderous and regards human life as a mustard, but there is a chill in his heart.

There is no way to eliminate Wang Song this time, and I don't know in the future, is there a chance?
