75. The army was defeated
The army arrived at the frontier, crossed the border with great momentum, and came to the army where Hengbai and the two kings of Qingshui were stationed in the Western Xia Kingdom, with Sun Shan's order, the generals and soldiers rushed into the enemy camp, but soon, they found that there was no one in this tent, it was empty, and even the most basic table for placing items was gone.
Although it is a retreat, but the two kings of the Western Xia Kingdom will let them go like that, with an order, many boulders rolled down the mountain to hit the soldiers, with a sound of orders, the soldiers of the Western Xia Kingdom attacked in groups, fortunately, although the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty no longer fight all the year round, but the basic quality is still there, many generals have arranged for the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner, and some have arranged for the soldiers to resist the enemy, and soon, everyone returned to the Great Song Dynasty frontier, back to the camp, Sun Shan was already out of breath, after a while, The generals who came to report the casualties came to Sun Shan's account and said with some resignation: "Marshal Qiyu, I have just investigated and learned that the soldiers of our army have five thousand and three dead, three thousand one hundred and twenty-three seriously wounded, and five thousand lightly injured, a total of 13,126 people, among them, General Yang Sheng was hit by a boulder and was seriously injured, and General Jiang Shanyun was slightly injured. ”
Hearing this, Sun Shan was already annoyed, he turned his back angrily, and suddenly, Sun Shan turned over and kicked the table in front of him out of the tent, and the little general, seeing that the situation was not good, hurriedly said goodbye to Sun Shan and hurriedly retreated......
"Haha, brother, we fought this battle beautifully, how could that old man Sun Shan think of us doing this?!" The King of Light Water sat at the table, and at this moment they were drinking the celebratory wine in their own way, and the cups of strong wine were in their stomachs, and they couldn't help but applaud loudly.
Heng Bai didn't expect the Great Song Dynasty's army to be so vulnerable, and he also smiled: "Yes, this Great Song Dynasty is simply vulnerable, it's just too unchallenging, it's boring!" ”
Watching the two generals talking on the stage, everyone looked at each other and understood what it meant, "Great Xia is mighty, show me off!" ……”
Listening to the shouts from the audience, the two generals were intoxicated, and the wine glasses in their hands didn't know how much they had changed, but they were just happy, this was the happiest thing they had since the founding of the country......
However, at this moment, Sun Shan is looking out of the door, he is already in tears, the god of war who once won a hundred battles, has now become a white-haired, slim old man in armor, he is also unwilling, thinking that he has been a small soldier all his life, but his efforts over the years have been ruined in today's battle, he no longer knows why he took this job, his mind is now full of remorse, hating why he is so careless.
He sighed, sitting on the ground, even if he regretted it, it was useless, many things, since it happened, it was better to look forward, maybe the scenery ahead was more beautiful, he asked people to bring paper and pens, personally wrote a message, and arranged for the soldiers to be sent to the capital eight hundred miles in an expedited manner......
"Your Majesty, the Marshal of the Protector of the Country is in a hurry for eight hundred miles!" Gonggong Li stood in the middle of the imperial study and said to Wu Zong with some disappointment.
When he heard that it was an eight-hundred-mile urgency, Zhao Yongqian couldn't believe it, you know, Sun Shan has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has climbed step by step from a little-known little soldier to the current point, and now there will be an eight-hundred-mile urgency, so he hurriedly asked Li Yuan to send the information up.
After opening it and reading it, Zhao Yongqian was almost annoyed, he didn't expect that in the end he would feed this weak country so strongly, of course Zhao Yongqian knew the truth of raising tigers, but now he has no way.
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Yongqian sighed and said slowly: "Zhao Lin, King of Xuanhenan, Zhao Hong, King of Jiangnan!" ”
Li Yuan knew that the army under the jurisdiction of the palace was relatively small, and if it continued like this, it would give some princes a chance to take advantage of, and the king of Henan and the king of Jiangnan were relatively neutral on weekdays, and between brothers, they could neither offend this nor that, and arranging for them to send troops to support at this time would not make other princes have any suspicions.
After about an hour and a half, Zhao Lin and Zhao Hong arrived, and as soon as the two of them arrived in the imperial study, they hurriedly knelt down, "Weichen greets the saint!" ”
Zhao Yongqian nodded, motioned for them to get up, and told them the whole thing, the two princes, after thinking for a while, after looking at each other, Zhao Hong, who was better at words among the two brothers, said: "The two of us also understand the emperor's worries, but it is impossible for the two of us to give the imperial brother too many soldiers and horses to reduce our own strength, as we all know, the imperial brother has a total of 100,000 troops, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are all between me and a few other brothers, the imperial brother does this, there is a conspiracy!" ”
Zhao Yongqian is really helpless, if it weren't for the fact that the generals and soldiers of the Western Xia Kingdom are too powerful, Wuzong would not have invited them to come, but Zhao Yongqian is not a vegetarian, "I can let you choose more people in your territory to fill the army, but you must give me more people, and I need some elites!" ”
After the two of them pondered for a while, Zhao Hong spoke: "Brother Huang is really a lion's mouth, our two brothers will give you at most 15,000 men and horses each, including 3,000 elite soldiers, otherwise we would rather you give us tempting conditions, we don't want it!" ”
Thinking about it, the manpower should be about the same, plus the 20,000 people who arranged the support by himself, a total of 50,000 people, there is indeed no problem for dealing with the Western Xia Kingdom, which has the strength of the whole country.
In this way, after the three of them decided, the king of Jiangnan and the king of Henan went back to arrange, and the longer it dragged on, the more accidents were likely to occur.
The army of 30,000 people set off in such a huge way, and after reaching the frontier, all of them were incorporated into those people, so that the combat strength was about 70,000 men.
But somehow, the marshal of the protector may really be old, maybe it is the way Heng Bai and the two kings of Qingshui fought is unheard of, every time there is a war, Sun Shan's judgment is wrong, the station line retreats again and again, several counties have been innocently looted, the women in the city, but everything young and beautiful, is also mostly defiled by the Western Xia soldiers, so that Sun Shan is directly at a loss, hating why he can't protect their innocent people......
