Chapter 647 Life and death are thirty miles apart

readx;

Under the city of Yanzhou, Wang Zhongzheng was finally deflated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is obvious that the escape of Shizhou and Xiazhou was a trick of the Tangut people to lure the enemy. Pity him for his arrogance, arrogance, and rashness, and now he finally has to pay the price.

Although there is a slight remorse in my heart, it is still a boiled duck - with a hard mouth!

Wang Zhongzheng refused to admit that he was wrong, and repeatedly said that it was the Tangut people who stubbornly defended it, so it was not easy to break the city.

If you want to save face and live to suffer, you will naturally not be able to persevere to the end.

Faced with the dilemma of lack of food and clothing, the soldiers have reached the limit of their bearing and are on the verge of collapse. And the resistance of the Tangut people is still fierce, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

Under such circumstances, Wang Zhongzheng couldn't hold on any longer, and he decided to follow Liu Renliang's advice and retire! Until this time, he still used such high-sounding rhetoric, just to maintain his self-esteem, which was more fragile than a glass heart.

It's just that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the situation is no longer what it used to be. If at the beginning, after discovering the abnormality, follow Liu Renliang's advice and evacuate immediately, the chance of success will undoubtedly be greater.

But now, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is declining sharply, and the resistance of the Tangut people is becoming more and more intense, and it is not easy to break through.

Wang Zhongzheng didn't care so much, he had a vague feeling that if he continued to stay in Yanzhou City, he might be wiped out and lose his life. At this time, the only way to survive is to break out, as long as you can get out, everything is easy to say. saved Xing's life, and he was able to save his face.

The charges of not rescuing or delaying rescue will definitely not be able to escape, and the responsibility for the defeat in the Yanzhou war can be completely pushed on them. The officials can use this to blame them and attack the King of Qin, so they will not blame themselves. Although the methods and results are slightly different, they can achieve the same effect.

Therefore, even if the Western Xia soldiers started to **, intercept, or even surround it, he still had to do everything to break through. It's simple, but it's not impossible. Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Song Army is declining, under the pressure of hunger, cold and death, the survival ** is more intense, and they are naturally more brave when fighting.

In this way, they broke out of the encirclement of the Tanguts and broke through to the Baicaoping area in the east of Yanzhou City.

This move surprised Liang Yibury: "The Song army actually killed it, I can't imagine it!" ”

"The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, presumably Wang Zhongzheng's straw bag is afraid of death and runs away in a hurry!" The Western Xia soldiers were very disdainful of this.

Suo Jiu thought and said, "Prime Minister, it's time to allow the last general to pursue, right?" He was already itching, and when he encountered such an opportunity, he immediately asked for his life.

"Okay!" Liang Yiburi knew that if the Song army broke through, his side would have to change his strategy slightly, and ordered: "Jiusi will lead the troops to pursue, but there is one point, it is enough to block the retreat of the Song army, it can cause panic to them, but don't rush to kill them all, do you understand?" ”

"Understood!" Suo Jiusi's heart is like a mirror, and he knows that the minister has a big plan.

"The bottom line is the Goose Branch Valley and Shendui Station, don't let Wang Zhongzheng's department cross half a step, and then wait there, you will meet your opponent in chess, and there is a tough battle to fight!" Liang Yi buried and said in a deep voice: "You should go first, and the true appearance will come later!" ”

"Yes!" Suo Jiusi's face was happy, he had been aggrieved for too long, and he could finally fight back and raise his eyebrows.

When he arrived at the white lawn, Wang Zhongzheng just breathed a sigh of relief, and before he had time to rest, the iron cavalry of the Xixia people chased after him, led by the entire general Suo Jiusi.

Wang Zhongzheng was helpless, and now it was no longer a retreat, but a breakthrough. In order to survive, it can be said that at all costs. He immediately mobilized his army to resist desperately, so as not to be surrounded and intercepted by the Tanguts again.

"Call Liu Renliang to come, let him lead his troops to break off, and cover the retreat of the army!" Wang Zhongzheng thought of his deputy Liu Renliang, but the purpose was to let him break off the back and cover his escape.

But who wants to be a substitute for the dead? Liu Renliang is not stupid, in such a situation, the soldiers after the break will definitely be wiped out. Liu Renliang, who was already angry, felt even more uncomfortable.

Thou shalt be foolish, and thou shalt put his army in danger, and thou shalt not repent. Now in order to escape for my own life, let me go to death? It's beautiful!

Liu Renliang was furious, and in the face of life and death, he couldn't care about the dignity of his position, let alone Wang Zhongzheng's celebrity in front of the official family. Suo Xing, don't do two endlessly, since that's the case, then you can break it off for me! Life and death are the result of your own fault.

Liu Renliang immediately took thousands of men and horses from his headquarters, left the battlefield, and quickly fled eastward.

When Wang Zhongzheng got the news, he was furious, and he really had the heart to kill Liu Renliang at this moment. As a deputy general, he ignored the main general and escaped from the battle, which is simply bold, and he must be engaged in military law when he turns back.

But the premise of all this is to be able to break out or break through, and while Wang Zhongzheng is cursing, he is more sad and afraid. The attacks of the Tanguts became more and more intense, and Liu Renliang's escape made the troops instantly overstretched, and the most important thing was to shake the morale of the army.

The already sloppy morale of the army was suddenly completely chaotic, and the soldiers were still fighting together to seek escape. But as soon as Liu Renliang walked like this, the soldiers only had a strong escape in their hearts, where could they still take care of the so-called cooperation? They all scattered and fled, trying to stay alive.

But the more this is the case, the more there is no way to live. The resistance of the Song army came in a messy manner, and gradually failed, and more and more people were killed and wounded under the blades of the Tanguts.

Wang Zhongzheng clearly felt the fear of death, and the whole person was terrified. However, at this time, survival ** is very strong, and it is a desperate attempt to escape, and there is also a bit of a Jedi counterattack.

After paying an extremely heavy price, the Song army led the army to break out and rushed to the Goose Branch Valley. Here, the Song army got a temporary respite. If they wanted to break through the siege but couldn't, the Western Xia people desperately blocked the road to the east, and the Song army fell into a desperate situation. Fortunately, Western Xia did not attack for the time being, and it could survive for a while.

The king is angry! He did not examine himself and was unwilling to admit his mistakes. It was claimed to the outside world that it was because of the untimely rescue of Zhe Kexing and Chong Ge that Yanzhou could not be attacked for a long time, and he completely forgot that Liu Renliang suggested waiting for reinforcements and attacking together. As for the responsibility for the retreat and attack, it is on Liu Renliang to escape.

Yes, that's it!

The prince also hinted in his heart, and soon organized a set of strict rhetoric, so that by reporting to the court, he could get rid of all the responsibility.

It's just that there is still a chance to play the official family? Faced with the siege of the Tangut people and the desperate situation of lack of food and clothing, Wang Zhongzheng cried without tears. Only by constantly cursing Liu Renliang, Zhi Kexing and Chong Ge can I feel a little better in my heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wang Zhongzheng didn't know that the current situation of these people was not very good!

Although Liu Renliang did not flee first, he did not escape.

He was only more than ten miles faster than Wang Zhongzheng, but he was intercepted by the Western Xia army, and thousands of people desperately broke through, but none of them left, ending in the annihilation of the entire army.

"Wang Zhong is wrong about me!" When Liu Renliang was dying, he shouted, his eyes were round and full of resentment, and then he was silent, and he didn't blink an eye.

Suo Jiusi looked at the corpses of the Song army all over the ground, and sneered: "The prime minister strictly ordered that no fish should slip through the net, how can you not obey?" ”

The remnants of Wang Zhongzheng have been surrounded, and they are the turtles in the urn, so don't worry. Now he has to face a real opponent, and the army of planters has arrived!

In the face of Wang Zhongzheng's rash advance, while repaying the king of Qin, he was also quite embarrassed. There is a high probability that there will be traps ahead, and they cannot sit idly by.

Although I hope that Wang Zhongzheng is finished, it is best to go and never return. But the accompanying army are all Great Song Dynasty soldiers, how can they watch him go to death and not save him? I am even more worried that the slightest carelessness will cause the collapse of the whole front and affect the entire battle situation.

At the same time, he couldn't tell the truth, so as to avoid the official Zhao Ji from making trouble for himself and King Qin. So, rescue is still necessary.

For specific actions, Chong Yong, the elder brother of Chong Ge, led the army to come to the rescue, and Zhi Kexing responded in the middle, while Chong Ge himself stuck to Yinzhou in case of accidents.

The planting wing came, because he had to transport grain and grass for Wang Zhongzheng, and the speed was slightly slow. After Xiazhou, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Wang Zhongzheng attacked Yanzhou for a long time to no avail, the grain and grass were gone, and the sky began to fall snowflakes again. In this case, defeat is inevitable.

Chong Yong is also a public heart, and wants to respond to Wang Zhongzheng in time. However, when he approached Yanzhou, he was suddenly ambushed by the Western Xia army.

At this point, it can finally be concluded that the defeat of Shizhou and Xiazhou was a plan to lure the enemy into the depths of Western Xia.

Wang Zhongzheng has hit the plan, and eighty percent of them have gone and have no return! While reporting to Zhe Kexing and Chong Ge, Chong Yong continued to advance. Even though he knew that there was an ambush from the Tanguts on the road ahead, he still did not flinch.

Chong Yong knew that Wang Zhongzheng would definitely retreat, and if the two armies could meet, the chances of a joint breakthrough were greater. If you retreat now, you will have lost all your previous efforts, and you will also be realistic. In this way, the Western Xia people can also be left near Yanzhou, and Zhi Kexing and his younger brother can also be calmly arranged, and they may be able to keep Xiazhou and Yinzhou.

As for the danger of this battle, Chong Yong didn't think much about it, he had been crisscrossing the northwest for many years, and he had long put life and death out of the way.

Chong Yong is very brave and strategic, and he is an experienced veteran. All the way to the west, he was very careful, avoided several ambushes by the Tanguts, and successfully arrived at Shendui Station!

At this point, it is difficult to move forward!

Here, Chong Yong encountered Suo Jiusi, the general of Western Xia. Despite his good command and brave soldiers, he was unable to move forward.

It can be seen that the Tangut people have laid down heavy troops, and it is difficult to break through at all. The terrain here, as well as the specific situation of the battlefield, are very brutal, and there are no other opportunistic strategies available except for hard fighting.

Chong Yong is helpless, this can be regarded as trying his best, for the sake of today, he can only retreat, otherwise he may be in some danger. But at this moment, he received a message - Wang Zhongzheng's headquarters was in the Goose Branch Valley thirty miles west of Shendui Station.

Chong Yong was a little hesitant! (To be continued.) )
