Chapter 303: Negotiation

Yang Keshi's eyes stared ahead, he lifted his mask with difficulty, and gasped for breath, seeing that he had just experienced a sweaty battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAfter a night of fierce fighting, he and the five thousand elite cavalry led by the boss finally withstood the party members, but they were tired enough to choke with people and horses.

This battle was simply a life-and-death reversal, and the old man, as the commander, still led the cavalry to attack the party members. At the age of 60, such courage and enthusiasm greatly boosted morale.

Many of the cavalry of the Western Army finally showed their ferocious wolf-like temperament, and rushed towards the party members one after another, and even the famous maniac who had always looked down on the Song army was also a big headache.

"These crazy people are so desperate. I don't believe it, how long can they fight? Everyone hurriedly rushed up to increase their strength, kill them all, and take the Song army camp! ”

Under the fierce battle, there were twelve rounds, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the boss and Yang Keshi finally withstood the blow of the party and the iron cavalry.

Seeing that the Song army also began to reorganize the army, 15,000 archers completed the formation, and a large-scale bow attack was tantamount to slaughter for the infantry cavalry charging in the group.

Because it was never possible to fully break through the Song army's camp defense, and his own city had fallen into the hands of the enemy, the army's spirit was fluctuating, and it was not suitable for a long battle, so a retreat order was issued.

More than half of the 2,000 iron harriers were damaged, and the 8,000 light horsemen hurriedly dropped 2,000 corpses and retreated westward. The infantry who did not hide the bonus as the rear guard fought and retreated, and they retreated to the western camp one after another, joining forces with Bingxian.

"Damn, how did you hit this one?!" The maniac almost cried.

Originally, it was a good sneak attack, but it didn't happen, and he lost a big city, if Li Qianshun knew that he wouldn't be angry.

"The other side must have been planning for a long time, otherwise our powerful fleet would not have collapsed and surrendered so quickly." Because the fleet failed to destroy the Song army's catapult and ballista troops, it was difficult for us to stop effective wave attacks and break through to the camp. And Song Jun's elite cavalry almost went crazy this night, which is really unreasonable! ”

Yes, how did the six-on-two fleet lose? Could it be that Li Hurong defected to the Song Dynasty? However, the battle was indeed miserable, three ships were sunk, two were seriously wounded, and only one survived.

What the hell is going on?

However, the west camp is near the west gate, and the side of the couch allows others to sleep soundly!

He was sure that once the Song army cleaned up the security in the city, it would inevitably attack the party troops stationed in the western camp again.

As the commander-in-chief, Wei Minglan also agreed with this point of view and proposed to immediately abandon the Western Daying and retreat to Yanzhou.

One stone hit a thousand waves, and most generals were reluctant to accept this decision. This was tantamount to telling the Song army that the Dangxiang army had been defeated and retreated to the interior of Yanzhou, which was equivalent to the remaining ten border cities.

"Lan Shuai, my martial artist should fight on the battlefield in blood, and the horse leather shroud, how can he be defeated by the wind?"

"Lan Shuai, our army has temporarily lost Dongkuo City, but its strength still exists; On the other hand, the Song army, after more than half of the damage in this battle, had to level the place in a short period of time. I thought that the Song army might not have the spare strength to target us and others, so I took a step back and said, since you want to withdraw, why don't you go to Youzhou City? ”

Many people's eyes lit up, yes, there are more than 10,000 troops in Youzhou, and if you can join forces, there will still be 40,000 soldiers. If you can gather troops again, even if you have 100,000 people, then if you look at the situation, it will definitely be different.

Didn't hide the red eyes lit up, this is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment, no matter which side can be justified, from the east to Youzhou, this is not an escape, and even if the Song army attacks Youzhou, even if it is unfavorable, it can also slowly retreat to the north and west, with great depth.

"Lan Shuai, I think it is the best policy to transfer to Youzhou, first, you can gather troops and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, second, you can threaten the rear of the Song army, so that you can't attack Yanzhou, and third, the Song territory must be empty, or you can send cavalry to harass it, so that it is difficult to take care of the head and tail, and the army is unstable."

Bingxian's heart moved, once this situation became a stalemate, he could contact Tong Guan, the commander of the Song army. Tong Guan, these high-ranking officials of the Song State, are bent on gaining fame and fortune, and they can get the city back through negotiations.

It's a big deal to give him a sum of money, and then in the name of the minister, it should be done, don't we call the Khitan a minister? What's more, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty can also give a reward, so they can't lose at all.

Thinking of this, Bingxian said slowly, "Youzhou is too important, and it really can't be lost." ”

Since he, the overseer of the army, spoke, everyone had nothing to discuss, and everyone began to have hope in their hearts, and they all looked at Wei Minglan.

Wei Minglan really didn't want to go to Youzhou, first of all, the city defense and geographical location of Youzhou were not good, and the east outline was 230 miles from Youzhou, and the infantry army could arrive at least four days.

In the past four days, in the unobstructed wilderness, tens of thousands of troops are equivalent to a piece of fat, can the Planter Dao let go of this opportunity? Once the Song army's elite cavalry followed and killed, half of the 20,000 foot soldiers could survive and be considered Ami Tofu.

However, his subordinates and the supervising army all meant to transfer to Youzhou, and he resolutely disagreed as the commander, that is, he insisted on going his own way, which would arouse their disgust, and this loss was not something he could bear. Even if you don't object, you have to put forward the risk, and when the time comes, you can find the Song Army to snipe, and if you really lose your troops, you can have a rhetoric to beat these simple-minded guys.

"Youzhou is indeed the best policy as the Lord of the Prison Army said, but if you go to Youzhou for two hundred and thirty miles, if the Song army suddenly pursues along the way, we are only afraid of heavy losses."

Naturally, he didn't want to bear the shame of a runaway general, so he actively supported the transfer to Youzhou.

"Lan Shuai, the Song army relied on the strong defense of the large battalion and a huge number of troops yesterday to be able to get lucky enough to be on a par with us. If it is in the wilderness, as long as they dare to come, they will be handed over to me, if they miss half of the Song army, I will take this head! ”

When he said this, everyone nodded in agreement.

That's right, the cavalry of the Song Army is in the field, as long as it meets us, we can fight three or not four!

Wei Minglan had no objection, and immediately ordered troops to arrange the transfer to Youzhou.

At the same time, I discussed with Bingxian whether I could arrange for the messenger to carry the gift list on his back and go to Tong Guan's side to contact him first. It would be advisable to obtain a commitment to a temporary truce between the two sides, so that the security of the long-distance march would be guaranteed.

Bingxian agreed and sent an envoy to Dongkuo to find Tong Guan.

Tong Guanzhi was full of pride, riding a high-headed horse into Dongkuo City, sitting in the lobby of the Mansion of Commander Wei Minglan, beaming with joy.

Expand the territory, my old boy will not lose to the planter, how about it, Dongkuo City finally beat down. Come on, write a quick report!

Suddenly, the personal staff whispered in his ear, "Bingxian, someone has been sent." ”

Tong Guan frowned, at this time, the party sent someone to come, what it meant was already clear, although he didn't want to deal with it, but he still said, "Let him come in!" ”
