Chapter 408: A Great Victory
At this time, the north bank of the Great and Small Ling River.
Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and Amin, Zilharang are inseparable.
Neither of them is a person who retreats, and the soldiers and generals in their hands are also veterans, and they will not fall behind in the fight with Jianyu.
Tens of thousands of troops spread over an unknown distance, and before they overlapped, they fought each other, and they no longer knew the time, let alone how many people died.
On the other side, Wu Xiang was a little overwhelmed in the face of Azig's fierce attack, but he was still holding on and insisting on not retreating.
Seeing that there was a danger of defeat, a deputy general came to Wu Xiang's side and said, "My lord, retreat, if you don't retreat, we will have to explain here." ”
Wu Xiang looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "You can't retreat!" We retreated here, the general army is full, and the general soldier Zhao has no flanks! ”
The deputy general was a little anxious and said, "My lord, if we don't retreat, we will all die here!" ”
Wu Xiang was also anxious, but he had unspeakable bitterness, which made him grit his teeth and insist.
Zu Dashou was his in-law, and he actually colluded with Jianyu to surrender. Now that it has been taken by Zhou Zheng, Sun Chengzong clearly told him that as long as he holds on to this battle, he will try his best to ensure that the Wu family is not involved. But if Wu Xiang is cowardly, or if he surrenders to the enemy, then the Wu family will be full of beheading!
Whether it is a big righteousness or a small family, Wu Xiang can't help but take half a step back!
"Kill me, those who take half a step back, slash!" Wu Xiang drank loudly, and the morale of the pioneers was boosted.
The adjutant general listened, so he gritted his teeth and followed.
Amin, Azig, and Zilharang had already discovered that the Ming army on the other side was unusually tenacious, very different from those before them.
In the past, the Ming army either collapsed at the first touch, and they followed and chased and killed; Either a small number of tenacious, they besieged and solved it with a large army; But the current 80,000 Ming army has no signs of rout, even if it is obviously not supported, it still does not retreat, as if it is exchanging lives for lives, and they are attrition!
Although the Jianyu army had the upper hand, this advantage was earned at a constant cost.
This kind of price is not expected to be seen by the Jianyu people.
They are already few in number, and if the Ming army exchanges their lives for their lives and causes them to lose twenty or thirty thousand people, it will be unimaginable for them to be hit!
But at this time, they couldn't retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to fight with the Ming army.
On the head of the city of Jinzhou.
Ouyang Sheng looked up at the sky, and said with some uneasiness: "Teacher, why don't I go out of the city to support?" ”
"No way!"
Sun Chengzong decisively refused, the white hair on his temples fluttered in the wind, and he said in a resolute tone: "Now I can only wait!" ”
This Ouyang Sheng can understand that even if Zhao Shu's teaching them fails, Jinzhou can't afford to lose. But he still couldn't stop worrying in his heart, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and others took away most of the elites in Liaodong, if these are gone, Liaodong will be extremely weak, and if you want to recover, you don't know how much effort it will take, how long it will take.
Sun Chengzong didn't say anything, and looked at the north with a sinking face.
What he was thinking about was Zhou Zheng's letters and the current battle situation.
Ouyang Sheng wanted to talk about the recent trend of impeaching Sun Chengzong in the capital, but he knew that it was not the right time, so he didn't mention it patiently.
In front of the big tent of Huang Taiji.
The melee is still going on, even with Song Wei's reinforcements, the combat power of Zhou Zheng's army is constantly fading, and Song Wei's army is not very strong.
The number of armies on both sides is about the same, and without the tactical cooperation of cavalry, the two sides are fighting on the ground, glued together, and it is difficult to distinguish each other.
Seeing that the Ming army could not be killed, Fan Wenchen in front of the big tent gradually settled down, and suddenly his expression changed greatly, and he looked at Huang Taiji and said, "Great Khan, it's not good!" We've been tricked! ”
Huang Taiji's face was pale, his eyes were full of anger, but his tone was very indifferent: "Ben Khan already knows. ”
Huang Taiji and Fan Wenchen are not ordinary people, and by this time in the fierce battle, the strategies of both sides have been clearly visible, especially the Ming army.
Sun Chengzong actually has no conspiracy, it is an upright conspiracy, and the purpose is not to defend Youtun, or to capture and kill Huang Taiji, Sun Chengzong's purpose is very simple: to exchange life for life and consume the living force of Jianyu!
Population is the biggest flaw of his Dajin country, if Sun Chengzong exchanges his 80,000 army for his 60,000, or even 40,000, it will be a big victory strategically!
The Ming army has people who can be replenished anytime and anywhere. But the Jin country is different, their total population is only a hundred thousand, and there are not many recruits, the war is damaged every year, the replenishment is extremely slow, coupled with the disaster, this war is over, and the Jin country wants to recover, at least five years, more than ten years!
For such a long time, what else do they have to fight with the Ming Dynasty!
There is also the fact that a lot of their grain and grass have been burned, and if they continue to fight like this, they may be in danger of defeat!
It can be said that the balance is completely on the side of the Ming army, as long as the Ming army holds on, the Jin country will not only be defeated, but also seriously injured the foundation!
Fan Wenchen's expression was solemn and said, "Great Khan, withdraw your troops!" Survive with a broken tail and fight again in the future! ”
Huang Taiji's face was expressionless, if he withdrew his troops now, he might be able to save it to the greatest extent, but the Ming Dynasty was about to gain a foothold in Youtun, and then the Ming Dynasty would gradually advance in Liaodong, threatening Shenyang and threatening Jin Guozuo!
Huang Taiji stared at the Ming army fighting outside, as if he could see Zhou Zheng, the corners of his eyes twitched, his face was distorted in pain, and he said with anger and hatred: "Ben Khan still underestimated this Zhou Zhengyun, if he is captured one day, he will definitely be broken into ten thousand pieces!" ”
Fan Wenchen ignored this, and looked at Huang Taiji with straight eyes, waiting for his decision.
Huang Taiji looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "After the fate is broken, withdraw the troops." ”
Fan Wenchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Huang Taiji was quite calm, knew the pros and cons, and made the most favorable decision.
With Huang Taiji's order, the Jianyu battalion began to retreat, and at the same time ordered Jierharang and others to prepare to withdraw the army.
Jianyu's movements, Zhou Zheng and the others quickly noticed it.
Zhou Zheng looked at the Huangtaiji camp that seemed to be close at hand but far away in the sky, sighed lightly in his heart, but his expression was ruthless, and said: "Jianyu is defeated and retreats, kill!" ”
Jianyu was about to withdraw, and the decadent momentum of the Ming army swelled sharply, and they rushed to kill the Jianyu army after the break.
On the north bank of the Daling River, Jierharang and others learned of Huang Taiji's order and began to gather their formations and retreat in battle.
"Kill, don't let anyone go!" Seeing that Jianyu was about to withdraw his troops, Man Gui pulled his beard and roared angrily.
Zhao Shujiao on the other side shouted: "Bite them to death, don't let Jianyu escape!" ”
Wu Xiang was about to lose, the pressure was like a mountain, seeing the withdrawal of Jianyu's troops, the pressure was relaxed, but he also lifted his spirits and said angrily: "Chase!" ”
On the battlefield of Liaodong, there was a scene that had never appeared before: the Ming army chased Jianyu and ran!
The Ming army shouted and killed, and I don't know from what distance, like a fan, chased and killed Xiang Jianyu.
Azig, Zilharang and the others knew that they couldn't waste it, so they fought and retreated, constantly widening the distance, wanting to join Huang Taiji as soon as possible.
This chase battle was not withdrawn until dark, and it was also worried that Jianyu would have another ambush.
Zhou Zheng, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Wu Xiang and the remaining 60,000 or 70,000 people gathered in Youtun.
Man Gui was covered in blood, and when he saw that Zhou Zheng was a bear hug, he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I really didn't misunderstand you, you did a good job!" ”
Zhou Zheng was covered in injuries, especially his arms, and he was strangled by him, gasping in pain, but before he could speak, Shangguan Qing pulled Man Gui and said coldly: "Let go!" ”
Man Gui suddenly saw Zhou Zheng's expression, and then looked at Shangguan Qing who had an unkind face, laughed more and more, and said, "Not bad, hey, my brother and sister are really handsome......"
