Chapter Ninety-Four: Retirement

The camp of the Jin army was heavily guarded, and there were constantly outposts returning to the camp from the west to report the latest news. In the most conspicuous tent in the battalion, the commander of the Jin army did not convene the generals of all ethnic groups to discuss countermeasures on the current battle situation.

The attack on the pontoon bridge was a failure, and the army was about to run out of food, and now the Song army reinforcements arrived, sending cavalry to charge the formation, but hundreds of people were shot by the opponent's crossbow! After a fierce battle, each suffered damage, and had to withdraw to the camp as a last resort. Whether to continue to advance or withdraw troops and return to the north, it is difficult for the generals to unify their opinions and hold on to each other. Most of the generals of the Jin army suggested retreating to Yanyun, and this way south, burning and looting along the way, their carts were full of gold and silver, and the cages were full of women. But gold and silver can't be eaten as food, and when you're hungry, you can't hold the women of the Southern Dynasty and gnaw it, right? Besides, with an army like the Southern Dynasties, my Jurchen elite can be regarded as worthy of them even if they are a dozen or ten. Let's go back and rest first, prepare all the food and grass, and come back at the end of next autumn, I don't believe I can't defeat him!

The Han generals, represented by Guo Yaoshi, strongly advised them to leave, believing that they should face the difficulties. Although the Western Army of the Seed Master Dao is the elite of the Southern Dynasty, it is almost meaningless compared to the Jurchen Iron Cavalry. First defeat the reinforcements of the Planter Road, shake the morale of the defenders on the opposite bank, and then abandon the pontoon bridge, find a suitable place to cross the river, and then threaten Tokyo. Otherwise, if he withdraws today, he will give Song Ting a chance to breathe, and when he comes back next year, he is afraid that the other party will be strong and clear, and he will wait for work. The two factions fought for each other, and Pharmacist Guo was still excited. He couldn't understand how the elite forbidden army of the Southern Dynasty was vulnerable, and when they saw the banner of our army, they scattered and fled, why did a village soldier dare to block the car with his mantis arm and block our tens of thousands of troops in the north of the Yellow River.

The generals were still arguing fiercely, frowning, and suddenly asked, "Pharmacist Guo, who is the name of the guard general on the other side?" ”

After the Han official explained, Pharmacist Guo replied: "If I remember correctly, it seems to be called Xu, Xu Wei." It seems to be the leader of a village army under the Daimyo, a man whose name has never been heard of before, and who is about twenty years old. When he said this, the look of resentment on his face was touching. It is no wonder that it was he who suggested that he should not go deep alone and go straight to the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, but he was blocked by Xu Wei in a dilemma on the north bank. The tactics he painstakingly designed were about to succeed, but they were destroyed by Xu Wei. When he was disgraced when he was persuaded to surrender, Guo Yaoshi hated to break Xu Wei's body to pieces, dig out his lungs and dig out his heart!

The expression of the inseparable man was not much better than his, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You all remember this name." In the next southern expedition, if you meet this person, you will kill them all at all costs! Avenge today's vengeance! "After days of strong attacks, the Jin army suffered thousands of casualties, and the opponent was just a village soldier who did not enter the stream, and its general was actually a young man about twenty years old! How do you tell him not to hate or get angry? The generals were stunned when they heard this, and Pharmacist Guo was even more angry, the next time he went south? Listening to the meaning of the second prince's words, does he want to withdraw his troops? was about to persuade them bitterly, but he had already ordered them to go down, whether to advance or retreat, saying that he would allow him to think again.

"Xu Wei! Xu Wei! Xu Wei! As soon as the big tent came out, Pharmacist Guo gritted his teeth and pronounced the name three times.

In the Song military camp on the south bank, Xu Wei had just eaten breakfast, and he had slept until yesterday, feeling energetic and comfortable. Lifting the curtain, the cold wind came to my face, I drank in a deep voice, I suddenly felt refreshed, and I wanted to move my muscles and bones. Suddenly, I heard bursts of cheers from the fortress of Purple Mountain, and when I looked over there, many soldiers under the city ran up. Puzzled, he also walked towards the barrier, and halfway through, a forbidden army officer was full of joy, and he ran back, but he blocked him, and asked the reason.

"The Jin army has retreated!" The officer roared, and rushed into the camp in a hurry to report the news.

Xu Wei was stunned, and he retreated? When they were in a trance, Zhang Qing and the others also rushed out when they heard the movement, and asked nonsense. He didn't answer, just said "go", and led his generals to run towards the barrier. But the forbidden soldiers blocked the barrier so that it was impassable, and the cheers were like thunder. He and his group simply went straight to the top of the Purple Mountain, climbed up the mountain, and looked north, and the brothers were all stupid. No, yesterday evening, I saw that the lights of the golden camp were as bright as day, and the foot knights were patrolling back and forth, so why did you ...... today

"Am I dazzled? What about the Jurchens? Yang Yan blinked his eyes and touched his hand in front of him for a while. On the other side of the river, the original Jin army camp has become an open space, and there is not a single ghost. The Jurchens actually withdrew overnight!

Mattei looked at it for a long time and suddenly asked, "Did we win?" ”

Yang Yan glanced at him when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Nonsense! Of course it was won! It seems that the Jurchens are nothing more than that! ”

The congregation will hear him say this, and everyone will rejoice! It's not easy, just such a patchwork force, stunned to block the brave and warlike Jin army on the north shore for five days, and pay the price of thousands of casualties! The officers were excited, smiling, but Xu Wei looked as usual, not seeing the slightest abnormality. Can this be considered a win? Although the troops were withdrawn, the land north of the Yellow River was trampled by the Jin army, the city fell, and the people fled. How long has it been since the war began? It's just over a month! The Jin army marched so fast, like entering a no-man's land, in their eyes, the Song army was simply a group of ornaments with weapons! Moreover, the Eastern Route Army retreated, but the Jin Army and the Western Route Army are still besieging Taiyuan. Historically, the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty for the first time, and after failing to complete its achievements, it went south again in the second year and swept away the Northern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. Now, although he blocked the Jurchens back in the Yellow River, he did not let the soldiers come to Tokyo. But what if the Jin Army comes again in the autumn and winter season this year? History has been changed, and how it will develop in the future is not something you can predict, and the advantage of knowing history no longer exists.

"Brother Jiu! We have made a great contribution this time, and the court should reward us again, right? Yang Yan's mouth was about to laugh crookedly. Of course, he is qualified to laugh, whether it is the battle with the Jin army or the battle of the pontoon defense, the heavy infantry he leads is the mainstay and strong backing of the Jingsui battalion!

"That's it! We are killing the Jurchens this time, and the court should give a double reward, one head and six runs! ”

"That's right! The officials and soldiers of the imperial court fled cleanly, and it was our township soldiers who were here to bear it, and if they didn't give money, who would give him their lives? ”

"Bah! Is that a human talk? I'm not afraid that Brother Jiu will pump you! ”

Xu Wei smiled and said nothing, and led everyone down the mountain, at this time, the entire Song camp was boiling, and both officers and soldiers cheered loudly, and the momentum shook the sky. Seeing the officers of the Jingsui Battalion stunned, what are you happy about? Jin Jun retired and closed your? Did you repel it? It was the Lao Tzu who stayed in these five days, and they never retreated! You're still the fucking elite? Bullshit!

"Lao Jiu!" As he was walking, Xu Yuan's voice came from behind him.

Xu Wei looked back and saw that the eldest brother was also happy, and his pace was brisk. Walk up to him, put his arm on his shoulder, and take a closer look. Between the eyebrows, there was a little touched.

The ninth brother has made a great contribution this time! Good boy, facing tens of thousands of Jin troops with 7,000 miscellaneous cards, but he held the pontoon bridge, blocked the Jin army's southward movement, and threatened Tokyo's pace! This is of great significance. I must play the court according to the truth and ask for credit for him!
