Chapter 702: Gai Zhou Mansion Again Counts

At this time, the soldiers of the Song Army led by Captain Su Taiwei were relieved, they were extremely fortunate to have such a strong ally as the Tang Army around them, otherwise they would have suffered a big loss today, even if they could not be completely annihilated, but at least more than half of them would be lost.

Someone has already gone to count the losses, and the results of the surprise attack on the Tang army have been reported to have suffered more than 1,000 casualties, while the Song army has suffered more than 8,000 casualties, in addition to a number of generals who were wounded, and even Captain Su was hit by Fang Qiong's arrow, and Zhang Shan, who was wounded on the battlefield yesterday, was also killed by Fang Qiong's men in the chaos.

But if it weren't for Captain Su risking his life to supervise the battle in the front, according to the urine nature of the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that they would be directly dispersed under the sneak attack, and seeing that even Captain Su was on the front line and injured, the rest of the generals abandoned the view of the door and fought desperately, so they insisted on the assistance of the Tang army.

And the 10,000 horses and horses that the Jin army attacked also lost more than 7,000 people, of which Yu Yulin's 5,000 men and horses were all wiped out from top to bottom, including one master, four deputies and five generals, and only a few hundred people escaped, while Fang Qiong's side also lost one deputy general, and he was also intercepted and killed for a while when he fled.

In this battle, the coalition army was more in terms of number losses, but after all, the Jin army fled in a good situation of occupying a favorable position and a sneak attack, and the losses in the generals were also more, so it was basically a draw.

This battle completely wiped out the arrogance of the Song army, the so-called wind knows the strength of the grass, the fire sees the real gold, usually when they are homeopathic, they feel that they are still on the same level than the Tang army, even if there is a gap, but after this adversity, they understand that the two sides are not a level at all, their losses are nearly ten times that of the Tang army, and in the end, they relied on the rescue of the other party to get out of danger, even arrogant people like Dong Ping do not speak now.

Su Taiwei was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but fortunately he was wearing gold silk soft armor to save his life, he was worried, and after being treated, he asked Du Jia to come over and talk regardless of the severity of his injuries.

As soon as I saw Du Jiasu, Taiwei smiled bitterly: "Xiaguan is useless, no wonder people say that it is useless to be a scholar, I didn't believe it at first, but now I understand it, if I have His Royal Highness's bravery, our Song army will not lose so badly." ”

Du Jia doesn't see it that way, an excellent general's own martial arts are naturally very important, but courage is also indispensable, although Su Taiwei is a scholar, but at the critical moment, he knows the danger and dares to go up to restrain his subordinates and boost morale, which is a great move in itself, if it weren't for him, the Song army is afraid that the loss will be at least doubled, it can be said that Su Taiwei used his injury alone to at least exchange the lives of nearly 10,000 Song army soldiers.

If this is replaced by a waste like Gao Yu, it is estimated that the first thing he thought about when he heard the sneak attack at the beginning would not be how the large army was, but that he was in danger, and he would have fled with his subordinates directly, which he did when he led the troops to conquer Liangshan before, otherwise it would be as easy as it would have been to deal with tens of thousands of elite forbidden troops with the strength of Liangshan at that time.

Thinking of this, Du Jia hurriedly comforted Su Taiwei for a few words, and then looked at Su Taiwei who was lying on the bed with a frown, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, had a plan, and couldn't help but smile, seeing his smile, Su Taiwei laughed at himself: "Your Highness, you don't have to comfort your lower official, your smile has betrayed you, in the end, I am useless." ”

Du Jia waved his hand and said: "No, I suddenly thought of a good way to be ashamed, and if I don't get it, I can still take the Gaizhou Mansion, but I may have to wronged Lord Taiwei, I don't know if Lord Taiwei is willing?" ”

Hearing this, Taiwei Su perked up, and forced himself to sit up from the hospital bed despite the pain in his shoulder: "Your Highness, say quickly, as long as you can avenge my dead and wounded soldiers, even if you want to go down, you will not hesitate to take your life." ”

Du Jia pressed him back to the bed and said, "That's not necessary, it's just that the captain wants to pretend to be dead for the time being, the enemy will inevitably attack when he hears it, and then we can take advantage of it." ”

Taiwei Su is also a smart person, and he immediately understood what Du Jia meant, and said happily: "Miao, Miao, then from this moment on, Xia Guan will pass away temporarily, and everything has been arranged by His Royal Highness Lao." ”

Du Jia nodded, and then asked Wu Yong to discuss a few words, Wu Yong was also happy, and immediately went to arrange it.

The generals of the coalition army were sitting in the hall, and suddenly they heard the imperial doctor running in with a sad face and saying that the imperial lieutenant was injured and had lost too much blood and unfortunately died, and the generals of the Song army suddenly stood up in shock, staring at each other with big eyes.

I am afraid that in His Majesty's heart, all the soldiers on this expedition are not as important as him alone, and now he is injured and died, and everyone will definitely be punished for not protecting them effectively, no matter how much credit they have made before, it is useless, so their hearts are cold.

The generals of the Tang army were also embarrassed, and after some discussion, the Song army decided to retreat temporarily, and the "coffin" of the Taiwei Su was sent back to the capital, and then waited for the imperial court and the palace marshal's mansion to issue a decree to see what to do next.

The hundred officials of the Tang army were extremely dissatisfied when they heard this, everyone said that the coalition army would come to crusade against Tian Hu, and they would not give up if they did not succeed, and now although Captain Su was injured and the Song army also suffered a lot of casualties, but the main force was still there, did he just go back by himself? So what's the matter with letting Tang Jun stay?

But what puzzled them was that Du Jia generously expressed his understanding of this matter, saying that Master Su was an important minister of the country, and the impact of his death was too great, and the Song army was helpless to leave, so the Tang army was not good to fight alone, he announced that the Tang army would also retreat together, and then as long as he held Fenyang Mansion, he would think about it in the long run.

In this way, the coalition army unfurled the white flags the next day, escorted the "coffin" of Captain Su and slowly retreated, and even the five county towns that had been captured before were gone, and retreated all the way back to Fenyang Mansion.

It's just that the Song army and even some of the Tang army didn't know that the corpse was just a piece of rotten wood, and Su Taiwei was hiding in Du Jia's camp tent, and on the way out, the Tang army had four teams under the leadership of Yue Fei, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo and quietly left and returned to the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

But said that Niu Wenzhong was waiting for a celebration banquet that night, but he didn't want to get the news of Fang Qiong and Wu Li's defeat, he was so angry that he almost fell off the horse, although Fang Qiong said that although they were defeated, they also hit the enemy hard, at least it was a tie, but Niu Wenzhong still couldn't let go, he went out of 10,000 and only came back less than 3,000, and even Yu Yulin, one of the henchmen, was killed, what the hell is this called a tie? If it weren't for Fang Qiong being his first confidant, he would have punished him harshly.
