Chapter 41 It is advisable to chase after the poor bravely

The second and third groups of the Song army landed one after another, but the battle here was over.

Emperor Zhao Gou and Xiao Lu crossed the shore on the last boat, Xiao Lu was still holding a drumstick in her hand, she shouted: "How is it over!" I haven't played the drums yet! ”

The generals laughed, at this time everyone already knew that this clerk who had been with the army was not only a woman, but also the future wife of General Qu. After all, with the emperor on the side to help her, no one dares to underestimate her.

Lee Chang-woo was tied up and brought up.

Zhao Gou said: "I, the Great Song Dynasty, have been friends with you in Western Xia for several years, and have recognized your status as the lord of the country, why do I want to help you abuse?" ”

Li Changyou was not afraid, and said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, but each is just for profit." If you are strong in the Great Song Dynasty, my Western Xia may not be attached to you! ”

Zhao Gou has nothing to say, the other party is right, and the iron needs to be hard. Zhao Gou said: "Since your army has surrendered, and the Jin army is still entrenched on the side, if you can help me fight the Jin army together, I will not blame you for the past." ”

"I can't make decisions on major national affairs, but I also know that my national strength in Great Xia is limited, and since I have provoked the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that I will not have the ability to provoke another Jin country." Lee Chang-woo said.

"So you're refusing!" Zhao Gou was slightly angry, "You can climb the Jin Kingdom before, and now you can also befriend my Great Song, why not!" My Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, and in time, all countries in the world will come to join me! ”

Li Changyou said in his heart that in the early years, your Song Dynasty couldn't even help me in Great Xia? But now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, he didn't dare to put nonsense words, and his tone softened and said: "If your country is prosperous in the future, I will be the first to come and join it." ”

Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, one less enemy is already half a friend, so the minister proposes not to embarrass Marshal Li." ”

Zhao Gou was also afraid that it would backfire, so he said, "Okay." Then General Li will be wronged. Wait until I have swept away the Jin army, and then I will discuss important matters with you. ”

At this time, a sergeant came to report: "Report! Your Majesty, the Western Xia army was ambushed by our department and suffered heavy casualties. The Western Xia army ordered to surrender, but some generals did not obey and fled north with 20,000 horses, leaving 40,000 soldiers and horses to surrender. ”

Zhao Gou glanced at Li Changyou, and Li Changyou said, "My ability is estimated to be so great." ”

Zhao Gou calculated in his heart that 40,000 plus 10,000 here is already a good record. The emperor ordered Li Changyou to be taken down and detained in solitary confinement, waiting for Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others to meet in the future.

A general said: "Your Majesty, why don't you kill these dog thieves in Western Xia?" ”

Zhao Gou said: "Now there are many generals in the Western Xia, and killing their generals is afraid that the soldiers below will not be able to discipline them, which will add trouble." Now the main goal is to exterminate the Jin army, and more is better than less. ”

Zong Ze nodded and said, "The emperor is sage, and the old minister also thinks so. ”

Zhao Li said: "Tens of thousands of soldiers, do we want to raise them so white?" ”

Qu Ping said: "The border of our Great Song Dynasty stretches for thousands of miles, and we can follow the example of the way the prisoners of war were treated in the Battle of Puyang and let them become our free labor." It's really not good, as long as Xixia can come up with satisfactory conditions, we can also release them back. ”

Zhao Gou approvingly: "Yes, this method will be used as a regular regulation in the future." ”

Xiao Lu looked at Qu Ping from the side, and said in her heart, how could such a sunny face hide such a sinister and cunning heart.

After a while, Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Junsan hurried up to see the emperor.

Zhao Gou said: "With armor on your body, you don't need to be polite. The three Aiqing have worked hard for many days, and after the destruction of the Jin Army, I will definitely reward them for their meritorious deeds. Now that the Western Xia army has been calmed down, how many men do you still have? ”

Wu Jue said: "After today's battle, there are still 70,000 soldiers who can fight. ”

Zhao conceived a few words and said: "The Western Xia army of 50,000 people, the Erbu left 20,000 horses to guard the place, General Zong was responsible for staying behind, and the rest converged with General Qu's men and horses, and immediately rushed to Qimen Town, and attacked the Jin army with Yue Fei's head and tail. ”

"Yes!"

However, it was said that the Golden Vulture and Yue Fei were in a battle over there, and there were far more people and horses in the Golden Vulture than Yue Fei, and after a long time, they gradually showed their advantages.

At this time, the general of Western Xia, Pegasus, reported that the Western Xia military camp was attacked by the Song army, and Marshal Li was afraid that something would happen to him, and he hoped that the prince would rush to help.

Jin Wushu scolded secretly, the Western Xia army was really not enough to succeed and more than defeated, but he didn't expect the Song army to catch the cicada and yellow finch behind, and he was caught off guard.

Jin Wushu saw Song Jun's dragon banner from a distance and guessed that Zhao Gou should be in Yue Fei's department. Yue Fei's shouting of 200,000 troops was just a bluff, and he was about to eat away at Yue Fei's troops and capture the Great Song Emperor Zhao Gou alive.

Jin Wushu sent away the Western Xia generals and verbally agreed, but in fact he had no intention of dividing his troops to save him.

On the mountain in the distance, the Great Song Dragon Flag was displayed, and under the canopy, above the treasure, there was still a person sitting upright. You can't see it in the dark, only black outlines. But after Jin Wushu saw it, he believed that it was Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Jin Wushu commanded the military horses and went all out to kill the "Zhao Gou" on the mountain.

Yue Fei was entangled and shouted: "Don't dare to hurt my emperor!" ”

To the west, there was a sudden and continuous sound of drums, which at first sounded like it was not strong enough, but it was continuous and rhythmic, as if it could mobilize people's mental strength.

It turned out to be the Song army who came to help.

Zhao Gou'an sat on the eight-horse chariot, surrounded by soldiers, there was a huge drum in front of the chariot, a slender female general stood in front of the drum and rhythmically beat the drum surface, her small body conveyed a huge power, at this moment, even if it was a firefly, it could compete with the bright moon.

Xiao Lu is well versed in the rhythm of music, and this drum is beating the ancient song "Ambush on All Sides".

The rousing drums inspired the Song army to run over the Jin army.

Jin Wushu finally finally reached the halfway point of the mountain, and suddenly heard the mountains shaking in the west, he was in a higher terrain, and saw Qu Ping, Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun four generals walking side by side, leading thousands of troops and horses to gallop over.

Jin Wushu's heart is broken, and Li Changyou must have been defeated. At this moment, he suddenly made a decision, leaving Qingshan without worrying about the lack of firewood, what else to catch Zhao Gou, and saving his life is the most important thing.

Jin Wushu beckoned his generals and led the army to flee northward.

Yue Fei didn't expect Jin Wushu to flee when he said to run, and hurriedly led the army to chase after him.

Jin Wushu sent a small force to intercept Yue Fei, and another unit to the west to intercept Qu Ping's troops, and led his men and horses to retreat north. The Jin army retreated in order to protect the Jin Wushu, fearless of death, and resisted with all their might, greatly delaying the rhythm of the Song army's attack.

It took half an hour to finally annihilate the Jin Army's rear defense troops.

Qu Ping told Zhao Gou that he and the five generals Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Yue Fei led all the cavalry to chase after Jin Wushu, in order to eliminate him. Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

Jin Wushu crossed the Qingshui River and broke the wooden bridge, but after a summer, the river was not deep, and the Song cavalry was lucky to cross the river with water. The horses of the Golden Vulture ran fast when they arrived, but they suffered the infantry who fled on two legs, and the outdated infantry were all harvested by the Song army's iron cavalry like falling leaves in the autumn wind. In the end, those infantry knew that they would definitely not be able to outrun the Ma army, so they simply gathered together and fought to the death with the Song army. The Song army had crossbow arrows in the distance, and swords and guns in the near distance, how could the infantry of the Jin army be the enemy, and the time was in a hurry, and it was impossible to build fortifications at all. When the Jin army could not be defeated, they scattered and fled, with about 3,500 people fleeing.

Qu Ping didn't get too entangled with those mud legs, and continued to chase down the golden vultures.

The battle began at the second watch in the evening and lasted for several hours, and it was already morning time. Jin Wushu was still two miles ahead of the Song army, and it was always within sight.

Suddenly, the Jin army in front stopped his pace, and instead turned his horse's head and ran to the side. Qu Ping raised his eyes and saw that there were a lot of people and horses in front of him fanning towards this side, and the Jin army turned around and fled, indicating that those soldiers were all soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

The only explanation is that it was the one who climbed the mountains and waded from afar, and came from afar to cover the front and back - Liu Guangshi's troops.

Liu Guangshi led the army to ride his horse to cover up, and said with a smile in his mouth: "This time, look at where you are running on a dog day, Lao Tzu has come back and forth, and he can still let you run!" ”

Jin Wushu watched the Song army kill from the north, cutting off his own way, and wondered when the Song army ran behind him, no wonder the grain and grass had not arrived for so long, and he must have been intercepted by him. Seeing that the Song army was about to close on all sides, Jin Wushu aimed at the openings that had not yet closed, and led his troops to break through.

A big battle is inevitable.

The Jin army was divided at the slightest touch, and did not dare to fight, so they tried their best to protect the fourth prince Jin Wushu and fight towards the weak place of Liu Guangshi's infantry. Qu Ping was willing to let such a good opportunity go to waste, and urged the part to attack with all his might. Jin Wushu led the cavalry to fight to open an opening, and escaped with more than 4,000 people in disarray.

Liu Guangshi tossed and turned in a big circle, and actually let the golden vulture break through, and he was angry, and spread all his anger on the besieged Jin soldiers.

It took half an hour for the whole army to cut down the encircled Jin soldiers, killing them so that their knives were rolled and their guns were blunt.

Seeing that the overall situation was about to be decided, Qu Ping informed Liu Guangshi to leave the infantry army to continue to kill the remnants of the Jin soldiers, and the six generals led 6,000 elite cavalry to continue to pursue and kill the Jin Wushu.

At this time, the two sides were tired and hungry after a night of fighting, and it was the will of both sides that they fought. Some of the horses ran with weak legs, and they would not get up when they lay on the ground, and those who had lost their horses had to continue running on two legs. The infantry of the Jin army was caught up by the Song army and the horse army, and there was another massacre, without any suspense.
