Chapter 289: Wei Minglan's Retreat

Tong Guan was awakened by his followers and was about to get angry, but his followers told him great news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The sentry found out that the party members had withdrawn", which made him inexplicable, and he didn't know if it was a conspiracy or the other party really didn't want to attack.

Wei Minglan left, and when he was defeated and killed, he ordered the whole army to retreat.

10,000 cavalry were completely annihilated, so that the troops in his hands could not cope with the upcoming attack of the Song army.

The defeat of the attack made him see clearly that he was good at defending, but the price of this 10,000 cavalry was really a bit large, not only burying 5,000 captives, but also burying all the foot soldiers who were proficient in mountain warfare.

Through the detailed report of the spies, Wei Minglan fell into an ice cellar, and her heart was cold on a hot day.

Fang Dang Changwu's 4,000 elite horsemen actually failed to beat the Song Army's 5,000 miscellaneous cards!

Bubazi was bleeding in the process of attacking the mountain bag, and finally the remaining more than 1,000 Bubazi were all returned to the Wild Wolf Army, with this supplement, the Song army's losses were not large, and the total was more than 2,000 people.

If under the city of Changxing, tens of thousands of subordinates learned that the cavalry was completely annihilated, the army would inevitably be unstable, and then they would be surrounded and annihilated by the Song army that had greatly boosted their morale with victory, and they would be defeated.

Let's go!

Planter Dao, Lin Chong, in Dongkuo City, we will see you again!

After a cruel word, Wei Minglan ran away like a rabbit, and he had just walked for less than an hour when the monkey appeared in the field of vision of Changxing City with the cavalry of the Wild Wolf Army.

Tong Guan really believed that the party members were really gone, their lives were saved, and they collapsed and collapsed on the ground.

It wasn't until he heard the horn in the wild wolf army from a distance, less than two miles away, that Tong Guan relieved himself.

It's a good thing to survive, but the problem arose immediately, Tong Guan insisted on going his own way, commanding Liu Yanqing to go deep alone, and suffered a big defeat, this responsibility needs to be shouldered.

Who's going to carry it?

Liu Yanqing died in battle, no matter how big the crime is, it will not help. Liu Guangshi, this guy is a little lower-level, and he must find a few heavier generals, otherwise the imperial history in the court is not so easy to fool.

When the monkey heard that the party had evacuated an hour ago, he only released scouts to inquire about the situation, and did not chase after him.

First, the enemy army retreated without chaos, and could not get much benefit, and second, there were two fierce battles today, even if people could stand it, the horses could not bear it, so it was better to have a good rest.

Lao Chong and Lin Chong joined forces and camped in the south of the city, where they could attack and retreat, and relatively speaking, they could ensure their own initiative.

According to the etiquette of their superiors and subordinates, after handling the camping matters, they immediately brought their relatives into the city to meet Tong Guan.

In Xuanshuai's temporary mansion, a large number of generals knelt at the door, all of whom were dignitaries who followed Tong Guan to lead the troops this time.

Lin Chong asked the old man with some doubts, "Old Xianggong, aren't these all refuge in Xuan Shuai?" How do you have a posture of opening a knife and asking for a slash? ”

The old man didn't raise his eyelids, hehe sneered, "Xuan Shuai has a good idea, killing three birds with one stone!" ”

"Hey, the old man hurry up and talk about it, why do you kill three birds with one stone?"

"This defeat always has to find someone to deal with the accountability of the imperial court, the elite of the forbidden army has all been lost, and the only way to conquer the party in the future is to rely on us, so we will sweep away the rebellion of the Western Army and show us goodwill."

Lin Chong listened to only two, "Xianggong, isn't there another one?" ”

The old man sighed and said with difficulty, "After cutting off so many heads of the Western Army, the official family must have favored him even more, this time, Xuan Shuai was a blessing in disguise." ”

Sure enough, three birds with one stone!

The thoughts of the court and the official family are the same, and the generals are unreliable. Because Taizu is a military general, with the help of the orphans and widows of the new monarch, he made a yellow robe in Chenqiaoyi.

Although he gave preferential treatment to the royal family of the previous dynasty, he made a promise to share the world with the scholars and doctors, and gave him special care.

But for the military attachés of the Song Dynasty, the imperial court has always been strictly guarded, and every means is used to weaken the power in the hands of the army and military attachés.

For the court scholars and doctors, those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people.

The danger of a military attache is even more terrible than that of an enemy country, after all, foreigners only want some benefits and plunder some of the wealth of the people, and will not shake their position. Once the military attaché rebels, it will be difficult for the civilian officials to ensure their position, and in the final analysis, they are all trying to protect their own interests.

In this situation, the entire Great Song Dynasty fell into a deformed development path, civilization and materials were greatly abundant, and the army and soldiers were increasingly abandoned. Except for those forbidden troops who performed in Jinmingchi, which were pleasing to the eye, the others were completely muddy.

Even in some units with combat effectiveness, military discipline is incomparably corrupt.

In the Song army, there was an unwritten agreement that when going out, marching, fighting, chasing the enemy, and winning, all of them were to open the way with money. When fighting a good fight, there is still a look, once the battle is a little harder and a little harder, he will immediately pretend to be a dead dog and be slaughtered.

There may be many small units that dare to fight bravely, but after all, the number is very small, and in previous battles, these backbone troops are often put at the forefront by the commanders, and when they escape, they will also be cut off, and the result will be surrounded and annihilated by superior enemy forces.

Nearly a hundred years have passed, and this kind of heroic team has become rare.

Even if it is an old race, Yang Keshi's troops cannot be said to be selfless, because it is absolutely difficult for a good person to survive surrounded by a group of wicked people.

Lao Chong's years of experience saw Tong Guan's inner thoughts and goals, but he couldn't save these people, even though these people belonged to the Western Army group. But the imperial power was there, and he did not have the courage to dare to confront the emperor's spokesman.

The old seed didn't speak, and had already entered the lobby.

Tong Guan hurriedly came down to greet him with a smile in the hall, "Old Xianggong, Lord Han, it is really the fire that distinguishes the gold." ”

As he spoke, he looked around and said to his subordinates, "Look at different people, this battle is different, some people are defeated and killed, and the old Xianggong can break the enemy and shock the northwest, this is the real great achievement of the Western Army, the great achievement of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Lao Chong and Lin Chong first saluted according to their official positions, and then Lao Chong modestly said, "Xuan Shuai praises falsely, it is the honor given by the official family to lead the troops to fight, and it is also the duty of our Western Army." The Western Army has been fighting with the party for a hundred years, and it has indeed suffered countless casualties, but it has also accumulated experience, and it is not necessary to say that it will win every battle, but it is just to deal with it calmly. ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, Lin Chong felt that the old man's words were really exciting, and he had to take it.

Tong Guan wanted to make a comparison between Lao Chong and Liu Yanqing and weaken his responsibility for the defeat of Dongkuo, but Lao Chong made it clear that he was unwilling to play with you.

My military power is given by the emperor, and I don't need you to dictate to the war, and I won because we have been fighting with the party for hundreds of years, and we know each other's roots, not you foreign forbidden troops.

All in all, in the battle of the Northwest Expedition, if you don't listen to my opinion, you are fooling around, I can not cooperate with you, otherwise there will be another big defeat, who will be responsible for this?
