Chapter 989: Retreat

"I don't know why I suddenly quit the army?" Lin Chong suddenly thought of a question, Wang Gui had already defeated Hu Qi, and Yue Fei was the best time to expand the results of the battle at this time, but Yue Fei gave up such an opportunity and forcibly withdrew to the camp, which made him very curious.

But curious about what it could be, Lin Chong looked at Hu Qi who returned to the city in twos and threes, even if he knew why Yue Fei would withdraw his army, I am afraid it would have no effect, the army was no longer suitable for another battle, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Wei army made the morale of the Tang army drop, and it was not easy to start a war. Even Lin Chong regretted at this time, he shouldn't have harassed Yue Fei, otherwise, he would have enough time and troops to deal with the matter in front of him.

Yue Fei returned to the camp, although the Beiwei army was victorious, but still suffered heavy losses, more than 20,000 people came back only a little more than 10,000, but defeated 30,000 cavalry, which shows its bravery.

"What's going on?" Yue Fei looked at Dong Xian and said: "The war is continuing, it is the time to expand the results of the war, why did you withdraw the troops." "Yue Fei's army is strictly disciplined, even if it is himself, he does not dare to violate military discipline, and Ming Jin must withdraw his troops.

"General, General Han Shizhong is here." Dong Xian's face was gloomy, he didn't care about Yue Fei's anger, and said in a low voice: "Li Jing personally led the cavalry into Jiangdu, and Yang Zhi defeated Han Shizhong's army, General Han Shizhong's whereabouts are unknown, it is estimated that he fell into the hands of Li Jing, before the army was defeated, General Han Shizhong ordered someone to come to report and let the general retreat quickly." ”

Yue Fei didn't know what Dong Xian was talking about, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which woke Yue Fei up, and Li Jing returned thousands of miles to defeat Han Shizhong in Jiangdu. Woke up from his sweet dream all of a sudden, he and Han Shizhong were like a pair of scissors, cooperating with each other, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, even if Han Shizhong's soldiers and horses were advancing slower, but they could always help themselves contain some of their troops, but they didn't expect Han Shizhong to be defeated, and even he might be captured by the enemy, leaving himself alone in depth, even if he achieved more achievements, it had no effect, and even at this moment, behind his back, Li Jing had already led a large army to kill and besiege himself under Huai'an City.

"Retreat, retreat quickly." Yue Fei said hurriedly. He is now very glad that he took the risk of a blow just now and defeated Hu Cai, otherwise, if he wants to retreat under Hu Cai's attack, it will be extremely difficult, and he doesn't know how many of the 100,000 Yue family troops will be left after retreating to Jiangnan.

"General, Secret Guard Urgent News." As soon as Lin Chong returned to the mansion, he saw a secret guard hurriedly break in, holding a note in his hand.

"What's going on?" Lin Chong's face changed slightly, the secret guard often sent news, but like this time, indicating urgent news could only mean that the matter was more serious, so he quickly took it.

"The news from the carrier pigeon, Your Majesty has defeated Han Shizhong and captured Han Shizhong alive, and now the army has been killed towards Huai'an, Your Majesty asks us to drag Yue Fei under the city so that Yue Fei can be encircled." The dark guard looked at Lin Chong with some concern. He knew that Lin Chong had just lost more than 20,000 cavalry, and it was very difficult to hold Yue Fei back.

"Damn Xiao Heda, it's ruined my big thing." Lin Chong punched several cases hard, smashing them to the ground. His guess was correct, Yue Fei must have had a premonition, so he would find a way to withdraw the army, and he also wanted Xiao Heda to lead the cavalry to harass the other party, but Xiao Heda was incompetent, so that most of the tens of thousands of troops would be wiped out by Yue Fei, not to mention that the Tang army, which had lost most of the cavalry, could not harass Yue Fei well and dragged Yue Fei down.

Even if Lin Chong forcibly ordered all the armies to dispatch now, I am afraid that these cavalry would just be meat buns and dogs, and they would not be able to help Yue Fei, but they would be eaten clean by Yue Fei.

"Your Majesty?" The dark guard looked at Lin Chong with some concern.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. Pick the elite, even if Yue Fei wants to retreat, we can't let him retreat easily. "Lin Chong? Gritted his teeth. If he knew that Xiao Heda was so useless, he should have gone into battle in person, otherwise, he would not have lost his troops so much. The only way now is to personally lead the army and drag Yue Fei down.

Yue Fei outside the city was also in a heavy mood, Han Shizhong was defeated, it was like breaking an arm, and in the future, there was no one else in the court who could cooperate with him so perfectly.

The Southern Song Dynasty army would not have thought that they had just won a battle and robbed thousands of war horses, and the main general began to retreat, and in addition to the wailing of the wounded soldiers in the entire camp, it was the figure of some soldiers silently packing up.

"Fortunately, we won a battle this time, defeating Lin Chong's tens of thousands of cavalry, so that the other party did not dare to fight again, otherwise, we would face the harassment and attack of tens of thousands of cavalry, and it would be very difficult to retreat." Zhang Xian smiled bitterly. The surrounding generals nodded one after another, which was also unexpected by everyone, and no one would have thought that the Tang Army, which was known as the elite, would actually have a figure like Xiao Heda.

"Do you think Lin Chong won't attack us and harass us? No, once we retreat, even if Lin Chong doesn't know the news of Han Shizhong's defeat, but if we retreat, he will definitely pounce. Yue Fei shook his head and said: "Lin Chong will definitely press up desperately, and it is not a good thing to retreat rashly, if he doesn't retreat?" Li Jing's soldiers and horses can kill us in ten days at most, and the cavalry is faster, twenty or thirty thousand cavalry is very difficult to see in our Great Song Dynasty, but under Li Jing's command, twenty or thirty thousand cavalry is nothing. Once Li Jing pressed up, it was difficult for us to fly, so we simply won the battle this time. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xian asked with some concern.

"I'll cut it off myself." Yue Fei clenched his fists.

"How does this make the general the pillar of the country, one of the most feared figures of Li Jing, how can he easily break off, once something happens, how can it be done?" Zhang Xian's face changed after hearing this, and he hurriedly stopped: "The last general is willing to break the queen, and he can definitely guarantee the safe return of the army?" ”

"You are not Lin Chong's opponent, Lin Chong is strong in martial arts, and there are many soldiers and horses in his hands, you are not good, you are the main general, lead the army to retreat first, I will gather all the cavalry in the army, block Lin Chong, and maybe find an opportunity to teach Li Jing a lesson." Yue Fei looked at Huai'an City in the distance, his face was cloudy. Ever since he knew that Han Shizhong was defeated, Yue Fei knew that he was in danger, but only by breaking it himself could he block Lin Chong and even Li Jing's attack.

"Yes." Zhang Xian had no choice but to respond.
