Chapter 277: Guoqiao Town (Final)

Bangbangbang, after a rapid bang, a group of people suddenly appeared on the gate tower of Guoqiao Town.

Cao Rong was supervising the battle in the rear army, and when he saw a figure on the city gate, he immediately shouted loudly: "Disperse, disperse." ”

He also noticed that the golden soldiers under his command were unknowingly gathering towards the city gate.

If the mysterious firearm of the Song army was thrown, it would inevitably cause huge casualties.

However, on the tower of the city gate of Guoqiao Town, only a rain of arrows fell. Wang Minqiu led 200 archers to shoot arrows at the city gate, while Ji Qing and others commanded a group of miscellaneous soldiers to rain down earth, rocks and broken logs from the city.

Guoqiao Town is already an empty city, which means that those houses are almost useless.

Therefore, Yu Yin ordered people to demolish all the buildings near the city gate overnight, in exchange for the mountain of rolling wood and stones on the city gate tower.

It's just that, regardless of whether the rain of arrows or the stones, it did not cause too many casualties to the Jin army.

Cao Rong commanded the soldiers and horses to retreat, observing the movements of Guoqiao Town, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Song Jun's firearms made him a little jealous. After a moment of silence, Cao Rong again ordered the Jin soldiers to attack, and the Jin soldiers carried their horses and rushed towards the city gate. At the head of the city, the Song army continued to resist, but it was still dominated by arrows and stones. After several rounds of repeatedness, after the Jin army paid dozens of casualties, Cao Rong also made up his mind.

I'm afraid that there are not many mysterious firearms......

Otherwise, how could Song Jun not see it for a long time?

Thinking about it, this Song army is only a thousand people, and I am afraid it is not the elite of the forbidden army.

Cao Rong's face. Revealing a hideous color, the worries in his heart disappeared, and he saw him pull out his sword, point at the gate of Guoqiao Town, and roar in a hissing voice: "Three army sons, charge with me." Capture Guoqiao Town, chickens and dogs will not leave ......"

This is also the order that Jin Jun likes to hear the most.

Before in the sealed mound. In the city of periods, after the Jin army captured it bloodlessly, in order to appease the people. Cao Rong ordered not to act rashly, so that these soldiers and ruffians had no way to make extra money. I was already a little dissatisfied in my heart.

Now, the order to slaughter the city has been issued, and the Jin army is naturally no longer polite.

One by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, they howled and pounced on Guoqiao Town......

The area of this Guoqiao Town is not too large, and because it is adjacent to the north bank of the Guangji River, the location is relatively high. The city gate was also so small that after the Jin army attacked, it was immediately crowded into a ball. On the tower of the city gate, Yu Yin squinted his eyes and stared at the Jin army who were swarming, and a strange smile unconsciously appeared on his face. He nodded slightly.

This Pang Wanchun really came up with a good idea.

The topography of Guoqiao Town doomed the Song army to fight with the Jin soldiers, and it was bound to be a fiasco.

Not to mention that the Song army was dominated by infantry troops, while the Jin soldiers were ironclad cavalry. What's more. These infantry troops under Yu Yin did not have the divine arm lunge armor used by the Song army in field battles, and once they engaged, they would rarely be wiped out.

The battle with Cao Ning relied on a surprise and Cao Ning's light enemy.

But he confronted Cao Rong. Even if this old man is already furious, but with Cao Ning's experience, it is destined that he will not be able to make the same mistake.

Guoqiao Town, not enough to hold on.

And Yu Yin didn't want to fight Jin Bing in Guoqiao Town.

The reason why he insisted on Guoqiao Town, to put it bluntly, was also to delay time, so that Mu Huogang could smoothly transfer the heavy grain and grass, and at the same time buy more time for Kaifeng. Therefore, Yu Yin didn't want to fight to the death with Jin Bing, so if there was no surprise, the result would not be optimistic.

Pang Wanchun's strategy is a plan to lure the enemy.

Relying on Guoqiao Town to make a firm posture, luring the Jin soldiers to besiege.

Only by gathering the golden soldiers in one place can the palm thunder exert the greatest effect. For this reason, Yu Yin has been gritting his teeth and persevering, waiting for Jin Bing to reveal his flaws. Sure enough, Cao Rong was fooled...... Then your chance is coming!

"Liang Yucheng, fire the cannon!"

Liang Yucheng on the side heard the order and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

…,

However, he did not have the thunderbolt cannon used by the Song army in his hand, only a trumpet cannon.

Liang Yucheng installed the cannon and lit the medicine twist, only to hear a loud noise, and Ji Qing on the city gate immediately shouted loudly: "Smash the palm thunder down for me." ”

The two hundred miscellaneous soldiers had been waiting impatiently, and hurriedly lit the medicine twist on the thunder in their palms, and threw it towards the city.

It doesn't take any arm strength and no head-to-head alignment.

At the gate of Guoqiao Town, at least hundreds of golden soldiers gathered, and countless golden soldiers poured in like a tide, and the palm thunder only had to be thrown down.

Cao Rong wanted to fight in person, but he didn't want that trumpet to make Cao Rong shiver.

Seeing the countless black iron balls dropped from the city gate tower, Cao Rong felt a sigh in his heart, and immediately knew that the situation was not good.

"Retreat, spread out ......"

Cao Rong was dumbfounded and screamed.

However, before he could speak, he heard a series of loud bangs, and even the Jin army, who was still hundreds of meters away from the gate of Naguoqiao Town, could clearly feel the ground trembling. Downstairs at the city gate, a puff of blood mist collapsed.

The Jin army was blown up by this sudden palm thunderstorm......

Immediately after, Yu Yin shouted an order, and Dong Xian, who was already waiting impatiently at the bottom of the city gate, immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.

The smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and a pungent smell of blood came to the face.

Dong Xian couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly dodged to make way for a path. Immediately after, the high pet He Yuanqing was like two tigers descending from the mountain, and he roared out of the city with the roar of the back army. Outside the city gate, the Jin army was killed and wounded by the bombing, and the wreckage was everywhere. The ground in a radius of several hundred meters is dyed red, which is even more shocking in the sun. Before they could come back to their senses, they saw a group of Song troops coming out of the city.

The high pet danced the big gun and rampaged through the chaotic army, as if entering a no-man's land.

He Yuanqing waved the double hammer, and he was even more unstoppable, and there was no enemy in front of him. The two of them were all armed with seven-foot swords, and followed the two beasts to rush out of the city and kill into the chaotic army, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Behind the Wei army, Niu Gao and Dong Xian each led the headquarters to follow. Although it was an infantry army, it showed unusual combat effectiveness.

Jin Bing was killed by this beating, where did he dare to fight.

They searched for mounts and walked away in embarrassment......

At the same time, there was another trumpet on the gate tower of Guoqiao Town.

The Black Flag Arrow Team slaughtered from behind the Jin soldiers, making the already panicked Jin soldiers no longer have the heart to resist. One by one, they fled for their lives.

Although Cao Rong tried his best to stabilize his position, the general trend had gone.

After killing more than a dozen deserters one after another, it seemed that it was no longer controllable. had to flee in embarrassment under the protection of his relatives.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The shouting of killing gradually weakened.

Yu Yin watched the Jin army rout. I couldn't help but let out a breath of turbidity.

When I came back to the battlefield, there was no longer as strong discomfort as yesterday...... In this battle, the victory was really a fluke, and it can be said that it relied on the power of the palm thunder and Pang Wanchun's advice to win a big victory. I always felt that I could strategize and command thousands of troops. But just this battle, he has already understood that he is not the material for the army......

The battle of a large army is about a calm and strainable situation. Tarzan pressed the top surface without changing the color of the calm.

But just now, he lost his sense of proportion several times, and if it weren't for Pang Wanchun's previous explanation, he would have thrown the palm thunder in advance.

Even so, he still didn't have a good sense of proportion.

After all, the order just now was in a hurry. If you press it, not to mention more, in the time of twenty breaths, the lethality of the two hundred palm thunders is at least twice as much as it is now. But just now, he was still flustered, and even a little impatient.

Maybe. This can be remedied at a later date.

But Yu Yin realized that if he charged into battle and fought on the battlefield, he might be a good hand.

But strategizing is not what he is good at. Some things can be cultivated, and some things are innate...... The melee of only a few thousand people looks like this. So in the future, tens of thousands of people, or even hundreds of thousands of millions of battles, will he be able to persevere?

…,

Thinking of this, Yu Yin sighed softly.

Although I have made a decision in my heart, I still have an inexplicable loss.

is really not the kind of person who can compete for the world...... Later generations have watched some film and television works, and I always feel that it is not difficult to see those generals who are strategizing, shouting loudly 'not asking about casualties, only asking about the results of the battle'.

But if you really want to go to the battlefield, can you have the courage to shout such words?

What a strong and cold heart is needed......

On the contrary, Yu Yin is still a literary young man in his bones!

At noon, the town of Guoqiao had returned to calm.

The war had stopped, and although the Jin army was defeated, it ran away from Cao Rong......

Although on the whole, the Song army was victorious, but Cao Rong's escape made Yu Yin feel more or less regretful.

"In today's confrontation, the thieves suffered more than 700 casualties, while our army only suffered 100 casualties, which can be described as a complete victory."

In the hall of the official office of Guoqiao Town, Wang Min reported the results with great interest.

It's just that Yu Yin seemed very calm, and after listening to Wang Min's report, he suddenly asked: "Gentlemen, although Cao Rong is defeated, the thief will come back sooner or later." Guoqiao Town is not enough to hold on, and we have relied on palm thunder and surprise tactics to win the victory, but once the army of thieves arrives, this Guoqiao Town may not be able to withstand a round of attacks by thieves. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent.

Yu Yin closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The thief has been defeated this time, and Pharmacist Guo will not give up." This person has outstanding military skills, and he is very scheming, which can be compared with Cao Rong and his wife. We now have two paths, do we continue to stick to it, or do we retreat to Mutuogang? Counting it up, today is the seventh day of the first lunar month, and if we hold the thief for two days, it will also be considered a complete merit.

Let's talk about it, how to choose next? ”

Everyone looked at each other......

Pang Wanchun couldn't help but nod secretly.

To be honest, he was about to remind Yu Yin of this, but he was worried that Yu Yin would win again and again, and he would be carried away by the victory.

For two days, there has been no movement in Kaifeng Mansion, and no reinforcements have arrived.

Then the idea of the Privy Council is very clear...... They will never fight to the death for Guoqiao Town and the Jin army, and must have made up their minds to rely on Kaifeng Jiancheng to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army. Two days must have allowed them to make a lot of preparations.

"Brother means ......"

Gao Pet couldn't help but speak.

Yu Yin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Retreat!" ”

These two words are a little difficult to say. But Yuyin knew that this was the most correct choice.

Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, after a long silence, Niu Gao spoke: "Since the commander has made a decision, let's retreat." ”

Dong Xian also nodded in agreement.

Once the decision is made. Yu Yin no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered a quick action.

He sat alone in the courtyard of the government office, looking preoccupied.

That's when it happened. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up, but it was Pang Wanchun walking from outside the moon gate.

"Little B. Seems to have something on your mind? ”

Yu Yin smiled, waved his hand and motioned for Pang Wanchun to sit down, and then said in a deep voice: "I just have some feelings...... Originally, I thought that when the troubled times came, I could be like the ancients and sages, strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. But after two battles yesterday and today, I realized that I am not handsome. Don't be afraid of your brother's jokes, go into battle to fight. In the field of death, I am not afraid. However, he said that he was improvised, ruthless and decisive, but he was never able to do it.

When my uncle was alive, he didn't want me to serve in the army.

He once said. My ability is only to lead a hundred people to fight, and it is more than enough to be a general, but as a commander, it is not decisive enough. At first, I wasn't convinced! But after these two wars, I deeply felt my own shortcomings. ”

When the meeting is in the lobby. Pang Wanchun sensed that there was something wrong with Yu Yin's emotions.

But he didn't expect that he was worried because of this?

Pang Wanchun was not unaware of Yuyin's shortcomings, but because of his identity, Pang Wanchun didn't know how to persuade him.

…,

Who knew that Yu Yin said it so clearly, so that he didn't know how to speak for a while.

After Yu Yin was silent for a long time, he suddenly smiled again, he looked up at Pang Wanchun, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, have you ever thought about developing in a different place?" ”

"Huh?"

"With my brother's talent, under my command, there are indeed some grievances.

If his brother wants to leave, Xiao Yi can arrange a good place for his brother. ”

When Pang Wanchun heard this, his color changed, "How can Xiao Yi say this, if it weren't for Xiao Yi, you planned for me at the beginning, Pang would be just a thief now." Now, although he is just a general, he is above board, and there is no need to worry about it every day.

Although his family is not a well-educated person, he also knows the grace of dripping water and the truth of reciprocating springs, Xiao Yixiu wants to say these words again. ”

Who knows, the smile on Yu Yin's face is even worse.

"Brother thinks that if you follow me, you will be able to display your talents and become famous?

Don't forget, my brother still has ideals, and he wants to revitalize the salt official Pang Zi...... Follow me, it's amazing to be a lifelong staff, why not go and make a career? What I said was not my brother who was going to school, but from the bottom of my heart. As long as my brother agrees, I will plan for him...... He may not be able to become a good commander at home, but he can create conditions for his brother. ”

"This ......"

Pang Wanchun was a little ambivalent.

Yu Yin said again: "Not only my brother, but also Dong Juemin and Niu Boyuan...... Both of them are talented, and they are wronged in this palace, after all, they are overkill. I've already figured out where to go, and you'll go there together when the time comes. ”

"Where?"

Pang Wanchun blurted out.

How do you know that Yuyin didn't reply, only smiled, and said softly: "When things are clear, my brother will naturally know about ......"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Pang Wanchun left confused.

Yu Yin's whole person seemed to become relaxed all of a sudden.

To tell the truth, Niu Gao Dong Xian and Pang Wanchun followed him, although he had an arm, but it also brought him great trouble.

What is the situation of Pang Wanchun in history?

Yu Yin is not particularly clear.

But Niu Gao and Dong Xian are real famous generals, and they are Yue Fei's right-hand men.

Of course, it was impossible for Yu Yin to let Niu Gao and Dong Xian go to Yue Fei first, after all, he always had some pimples in his heart towards Yue Fei. He admired Yue Fei for being true, but he didn't approve of Yue Fei's style of doing things. Historically, Yue Fei was known for his loyalty and righteousness, and finally died at the hands of Gaozong and Qin Hui. However, who knew that at the beginning of Jianyan, Gaozong had the grace of knowing Yue Fei.

It can be said that it was Yue Fei's own ignorance that shouted the slogan of welcoming the second emperor.

The question is, after you welcome back the Second Emperor, how should Gaozong Zhao Gou deal with himself? was only afraid of this, Yue Fei didn't figure it out until he died.

Yue Fei died, and those parts under him did not end well.

It seems that Niu Gao and others were either killed or depressed in the end...... Now, Niu Gao Dong has become Yu Yin's subordinate, and Yu Yin categorically cannot let these two people follow Yue Fei to death. Therefore, he thought of a good place for Pang Wanchun and the three of them, which was to work under Zong Ze. Yu Yin felt that following Zong Ze was far more beneficial than following Yue Fei.

What will be the result of this heart-to-heart conversation with Pang Wanchun?

Yu Yin is not particularly clear.

But thinking that Pang Wanchun would definitely leak the news with Niu Gao Dong first, let them also have a psychological preparation.

At the very least, give them a head start, maybe the two of them will work harder. Now that the thieves are in the city, it is also the best time for them to win the battle achievements.

Thinking of this, Yu Yin's heart suddenly became much more transparent.

At night on the seventh day of the first month of the first month of Jingkang, Yuyin ordered the whole army to withdraw from Guoqiao Town and retreat to camp on the south bank of the Guangji River......

Guoqiao Town, there is no need to exist.

An empty city, staying here is cheaper for the Jurchens, and it is indeed not the result that Yu Yin wants to see.

Therefore, when the Beiwei army withdrew, Yuyin ordered to tear down the city wall of Guoqiao Town, and then a fire turned Guoqiao Town into ruins. Under the light of the raging flames, the Song army retreated south in an orderly manner and crossed the Guangji River safely.

…,

Subsequently, Yu Yin ordered someone to send a letter to Kaifeng Mansion to report the results of the battle to the Ministry of War.

He knew that it was definitely a big taboo for him to leave Mu Huogang without authorization...... Presenting the results of the battle, more or less, can get you some forgiveness for yourself. However, if the military department really wants to ask for the guilt, Yuyin will not care too much.

He knew very well that if something really happened, the court would have Zhao Chen and the queen to speak for him, including Gao Yu, who would also save his life.

If you can't be a general, be a person who can escort the generals!

After Yu Yin finished writing the letter, he hesitated. After hesitating for a moment, he wrote another letter, sealed it with fire paint, and summoned Gao Zhong and Wang Minqiu.

"Thirteen Lang, you go to Mu Huogang immediately, and let the Yanai take you to see Twenty-six Lang.

Give this letter to Twenty-six Lang and ask him to pass it on to the prince. said that he had a bad breath for the prince...... In addition, tell the twenty-sixth lang about the battle situation, and let him make a special issue, and be sure to spread this good news all over Kaifeng tomorrow. ”

If your military department asks me for trouble, let public opinion compete with you!

Yu Yin found that after deciding to abandon the military power, his thinking suddenly became much clearer.

After instructing Gao Chong, Yu Yin handed over another letter to Wang Minqiu, "San Lang, this letter will be sent to the military department tomorrow."

Remember, when it is the hour, don't advance or delay, so I said to Li Shangshu that I was waiting for the military order on the south bank of the Guangji River. ”
