Chapter 412: Defeat (2)

Fire!

The Song army camp was full of fires!

Is this the Song army lighting a fire to keep out the cold? No, they are burning military supplies. Liu Guangshi ordered to retreat lightly, but not to leave grain, grass and other military supplies to the enemy, and it must be burned at the first time. But without these grains, grasses and other military supplies, what will the team use in the future?

Liu Guangshi can't control so much, his goal is to escape lightly, and his life is the most important thing.

In less than half an hour, the Song army burned all the materials that could not be taken away, and the team was like animals that sensed that a volcano was about to erupt, spreading their legs and running, trying their best to stay away from danger.

In fact, Liu Lin is more afraid than Liu Guangshi, he is afraid of death, but he is more afraid of losing all his wealth, and in order to get a good result, he has to go into battle. Fortunately, Kong Yanzhou's strategy was not to let him charge into battle, as long as he paralyzed the Song army according to Kong Yanzhou's deployment, and today when the appointed date arrived, he sang an empty city plan according to the plan.

When he was worried about whether Kong Yanzhou could be flanked on the appointed date, the sentry came to report that the Song army was in a mess, and they burned the materials and began to flee quickly. Liu Lin was overjoyed, it seemed that Kong Yanzhou had already cruised to the flank of the Song army, and Liu Guangshi had been attacked by the enemy on his back and had become a frightened bird, so he wanted to give full play to the advantage of his long legs.

Beat the water dogs, chase!

Wait!

Liu Lin braked his joy suddenly, and he was apprehensive, could it be that Liu Guangshi deliberately burned the materials and dug a big pit for him to jump?

Revisit!

It's not too late to chase after the probe clearly!

After such a repetition, the Song army had gone far and felt that safety was guaranteed, so Liu Lin led his troops to catch up. However, he did not dare to chase closely, but only symbolically marched in the direction of the Song army's escape, during which he hesitated several times and hesitated.

In Liu Lin's opinion, everything is fine when the Song army withdraws, and whether or not to eliminate their living forces is secondary, and the key is that he has the credit of saving the country and the people.

At this time, it was close to dusk, and Liu Lin did not dare to fight at night, so he ordered the pursuers to retreat. Just after retreating a few miles, Kong Zhihui quickly chased after him, and he brought Kong Yanzhou's latest combat instructions. The Song army fled in three ways, Kong Yanzhou had exchanged fire with the Song army on the left, and the Song army on the left had been defeated, so he went to pursue Liu Guangshi, the commander of the Song army in the middle, and asked Liu Lin to lead the army to pursue the Song army on the right.

Liu Lin still hesitated, and Kong Zhihui repeatedly persuaded that only by crippling the Song army and fighting fear could peace in Korea be guaranteed, otherwise the strength of the Song army would not be lost, and it would eventually make a comeback.

Liu Lin gritted his teeth when he heard this, and led the army in pursuit.

Kong Zhihui has been taught by his father since he was a child, and he is quite scheming, and he figured out that Liu Lin's pursuit was also a last resort, and he still had a phobia in his heart. In order to make the pursuit perfect, he proposed to use the dark night to cover up, they followed behind the Song army, and waited for the dawn to attack again, at that time, the Song army who had run all night was exhausted and had no resistance at all.

Liu Lin heeded the advice, pretended to be a defeated army, and fled with the Song army.

It's dawn! balance

After running for a night, Song Jun was already tired, and when the light was so bright that the soldiers could see each other clearly, Song Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now he was safe.

It seemed that the brightness had also swept away the fear of the Song army, and they sat on the ground to rest, talking and laughing, without the embarrassment of running at night.

Li Qiong also got off the horse and sat on the ground while eating dry food while getting angry, after Wang De left, he was a rare brave general under Liu Guangshi, quite valued by Liu Guangshi, and Liu Guangshi was commensurate with brothers on weekdays, but today he has become an outcast.

You can figure it out with your toes that Liu Guangshi's retreat in three teams is to abandon the car to protect the commander, and the left and right armies are his meat shields, giving his middle army the cannon fodder to block the Korean army and win time to escape.

Fortunately, the Korean army did not chase after them, and thankfully, they finally escaped from the tiger's mouth.

Li Qiong was rejoicing, but heard a large number of horses' hooves and footsteps rushing over. Li Qiong did not panic, he still sat calmly and drank water, this chaotic voice was very familiar to him, how similar it was to the voice of his own team last night, this must be a deserter of the Song army. When the shouts of killing sounded, he realized that this was the pursuer of the Korean army, and hurriedly got on his horse and fled.

The Song army immediately collapsed, and the weapon was too late to pick up, so he spread his legs and fled for his life, only hating his father and mother for having two legs missing. In the rout, the horses neighed and howled, and there was no trace of resistance at all, but they were crowded together due to panic, and the Song soldiers who were crushed down were immediately trampled into a ball of flesh, while the rest of the people were unaware and continued to step on the corpses of their comrades and escape.

When Li Qiong fled on horseback, she was already behind, and there was a panicked flow of people in front of her, even if she slashed with a knife, she might not be able to cut a way out, but she was caught in the middle of a dilemma. Li Qiong saw that most of the routs were running forward, especially the flanks pursued by the enemy cavalry were few, if he rode around the side on horseback, and then galloped quickly, the chance of escape was greater.

Li Qiong immediately hit the horse and ran to the side, and when he encountered a soldier who was in the way, he cut down with a big knife, and finally rushed out of the crowd, but there was an accident when he was beating the horse and galloping. A Song soldier didn't know that there was a problem with that nerve, he suddenly lost his sense of direction, galloped from the outside in, and like a blind man, he was suddenly hit by Li Qiong's horse and fell to the ground and died.

The horses were also violently impacting the next stumbling, throwing the panicked Li Qiong down, Li Qiong didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly got up and got on the horse. In just such a while, he was surrounded by seven or eight Han cavalry, even if Li Qiong was brave, he was invincible with two fists and four hands, and he was knocked off the horse in a few rounds.

Li Qiong knelt down, raised her hands high, and shouted surrender.

There was no suspense, and the one-sided war ended quickly. Liu Lin almost fell off his horse happily, and he said to Li Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground: "I heard that General Li is also a brave general under Liu Guangshi, if you collect the defeated army and come under my command, this prince will give you an official position no less than that of the Song Dynasty!" ”

Li Qiong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he kowtowed again and again: "The prince is gracious, Li Qiong will never forget!" In the future, I will definitely look forward to the prince's horse, and cut through thorns and thorns for the prince, even if he is crushed, he will not frown! ”

Liu Lin was very useful, and he immediately sent a few people to follow Li Qiong to collect the defeated soldiers. Seeing Li Qiong working very hard to please Liu Lin, Kong Zhihui couldn't help but sigh, war is really a good place to exercise people's various abilities, and it has only been a night, Liu Lin is like a different person, not only full of confidence, but also learned to win over talents and accumulate strength.

Liu Guangshi deserved to be an expert in escaping, he divided the team into three waves, and he led the arrow team to take the lead and escaped to the Song Dynasty smoothly. Kong Yanzhou hurried to catch up or was still a step late, and could only look at his back on the border line and watch him return to China.

Kong Yanzhou regretted a little that he did not capture the commander of the Song army, but this battle definitely saved the imminent South Korea. And the Jianyan Imperial Court was also hit hard, the accumulated military supplies were burned, the team of more than 100,000 troops was reduced by at least half, and what was even worse was that the morale was reduced to the lowest point.

In this way, within a few years, the Jianyan Imperial Court will not be able to attack Korea, and Korea will have a chance to breathe, as long as it has good relations with the autonomous region, the plan of Korea's development to the south can be realized.

After Liu Guangshi fled back to the Song Dynasty, he did not return to Beijing immediately, but sent people to inquire about the news, and was immediately overjoyed when he heard that Li Qiong and others had descended to Korea.

Soon, an urgent document from Li Qiong and other generals to the enemy, causing the Song army to turn from victory to defeat, was quickly sent to the capital. In the blink of an eye, another urgent document was also sent to the capital, and the coach Liu Guangshi was in danger, successfully broke through in the frenzy, brought back most of the soldiers, and preserved the country's vital strength. At the same time, Liu Guangshi wrote a letter to review his mistakes, and he was shameless to be the coach again, resigned and asked for punishment.

He knows Zhao Gou too well, so everyone has a step down, and the treatment of him must be understated. The official position will definitely be reduced, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the courtiers, but his status in Zhao Gou's heart will not be reduced, and he is still a close confidant of the emperor. With this layer of relationship, it is only a matter of time before it rises.
