"Nowadays, Yangzhou is guarded by a strong army, and it is difficult to break through in a hurry, so the only way to do this is to evacuate Yangzhou and attack the prefectures and counties near Yangzhou. Waiting for the arrival of our army's brigade, when the whole army works together, it will definitely be able to completely destroy the Bazi Army and capture and kill the emperor of the Song Dynasty! Su Yi analyzed.

Wanyan withdrew and nodded, now it can only be like this.

It is not easy to swallow, it is difficult to extinguish, it is better to leave.

It's just that he was not able to complete the task assigned by the marshal well, which made Wanyan evacuate and very disappointed. The current situation has to be retreated, otherwise the troops will be stationed under the fortified city, and the morale will be damaged for a long time, and there will be no logistical supplies and a lack of military replenishment, and the whole army may be wiped out.

…………

This night, Zhao Pu didn't sleep.

Since becoming the emperor, Zhao Pu has not slept comfortably, the coercion of the Jin army, the oppression of the ministers, and the difficulty of training the army, in short, all kinds of bits and pieces have already exhausted him, and it is difficult to have a good mood if he wants to sleep well.

After thinking about it all night and day, Zhao Pu finally made up his mind.

When you make up your mind, all the problems are not a problem.

That night, the five thousand soldiers and horses in the city, under the escort of Zhao Pu, left Yangzhou. At this moment, in Yangzhou, in addition to the Xiang army, it is the people, and there are no elite soldiers who are good at fighting. At this time, Zhao Pu was ready to abandon Yangzhou, whether it was a final victory or a defeat, he decided to leave Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is a famous commercial city, but it is not destined to be the material of the capital.

Even the qualifications for a short-term stay are not available, Yangzhou is prosperous, all eyes are prosperous, and there are distractions, how can you calm down and train well. In big cities, it is destined that it will not be able to train a strong army. After just a month of stationing in Yangzhou, Zhao Pu felt that the combat effectiveness of the Bazi Army had decreased sharply.

When Zhao Pu left Yangzhou City, the people in the city were celebrating, celebrating the victory of Yangzhou.

In the war report, there are too many great victories, but these great victories are still too far away for the people of Yangzhou, just like listening to the words in the tile, exaggerated and colorful, and the water has a lot of significance. These so-called great victories are of little significance except for being able to regulate the lives of citizens and add a little fun.

The fierce battle outside the city gave the people of Yangzhou a new understanding.

This is a living battle, a battle that is close at hand, as long as you stand on the city wall, you can see the bloody side.

There is no talk and laughter, there is no command, there is no command, there is more fighting, bleeding, falling, monotonous and boring, not wonderful at all, not at all mysterious, some are just cold and bloody. This made the people of Yangzhou, who were already peaceful, excited, afraid, and nervous.

I was excited to finally see the war and the fighting, which is usually difficult to see;

The fear is that the living people will fall to the ground and die like ants, like ants;

The nervous thing is that if the battle outside the city is defeated and the Jin army enters the city, it may slaughter the city.

In this tenseness, I waited for a day and fought fiercely for a day. There was a simple rest in the middle, but after the rest, it was a larger-scale battle, until finally I saw the Song army return victorious and won a great victory in Yangzhou!

What is a big victory?

In the eyes of insiders, a strategic victory is called a great victory. But in the eyes of the people, whoever is the first to evacuate is defeated; Whoever persists until the end wins. As for how much armor and equipment were lost in this battle, and how many people were killed in the battle, I don't care too much.

This time, the people of Yangzhou saw that the Jin army was the first to leave, and the Song army pursued, and in their opinion, the Song army won and achieved a great victory in Yangzhou.

"Yangzhou victory, the Son of Heaven's army fought fiercely against the Jin army in the suburbs, based on the camp, the soldiers used their lives, and the officials did not avoid arrows and personally supervised the battle. The soldiers of the Song army marched forward bravely and fought the Jin army, and after a long battle, the Jin army suffered heavy losses, bleeding and drifting, and corpses were all over the ground. The Jin army was afraid of it and left in a panic, our army won a great victory, and Yangzhou was preserved! ”

――"History of the Song Dynasty: The Records of Emperor Wu"

In later generations, when writing history books, a large number of rumors of the people of Yangzhou were borrowed, so the great victory of Yangzhou was born.

…………

The people of Yangzhou were celebrating the victory of Yangzhou, but Zhao Pu was extremely depressed.

This battle made him see the strength of the Jin Army again.

In this battle, the Song army was on the defensive, relying on the camp, waiting for work, and sniping at the Jin army. After a day of fierce fighting, night fell, and when the Jin army was tired and began to retreat, the Bazi Army began to counterattack and occupy a geographical advantage; In addition, the Song army had 15,000 men, while the Jin army only had 6,000 men participating in the battle, and the ratio of the number of troops was 2.5:1. The Jin army was a guest army, while the Song army fought on the ground; The Jin army came after a long trek, but the Song army rested for a month. This allowed the Song army to occupy the advantage of Tianshi.

In this battle, the Song army occupied the right time, place, and people, and should have been in an absolute advantage, and there was no disadvantage on the battlefield.

But the actual situation is that the two sides are deadlocked, and the Song army is slightly inferior.

That is, relying on the strength of the people, it was a draw with the Jin army, if it was the same number of eight-character army, and the same number of Jin army, it would be absolutely defeated. At this moment, the eight-character army, whether it is combat experience or combat skills, is immature in terms of cooperation with each other, and it is not at all comparable to the Jurchen strong army that has been fighting fiercely for more than ten years.

After the first battle, the Jin army lost more than 3,000 people, while the Song army lost more than 5,000 people.

Strategically, not repelling the Jin army's attack was not a great victory; Tactically, the losses were also more than the enemy's. Thinking about it, Zhao Pu couldn't find a trace of a big victory, but felt a big loss.

5,000 killed means heavy casualties, which is already a broken muscle.

In addition, there were 2,000 wounded, who were seriously wounded and could hardly participate in the battle.

Originally, there were more than 30,000 people in the eight-character army, which was equivalent to an army in later generations, which was not considered to be strong, but it was also more than self-preservation, but after two bloody battles in a row, now the battle losses have reached more than 10,000, plus the division of troops to Wang Yan 5,000, deep into the east of the river, and harassing the rear of the Jin army. At this time, the eight-character army was just in its early 10,000s.

At this time, the eight-character army can no longer fight bloodily, and if it continues to fight, it may be possible to fight the old book, and he will also become the emperor of the light pole.

Zhao Pu wanted to replenish his troops in time to make up for the battle losses.

But after thinking about it, forget it!

The Song Dynasty has always been ashamed of being a soldier, as the so-called good man is not a soldier, and a good iron does not hit nails. Yangzhou is also a prosperous place, and the living standards of the people are relatively high, so they will go to serve as soldiers. Moreover, the quality of the soldiers near Yangzhou is poor, and if some crooked melons and cracked dates are forcibly pulled in, it will not only dilute the combat effectiveness of the Bazi Army, but also prevent these recruits from running away at critical moments.

In short, it is not a good deal.

Walking in the wounded barracks, looking at the soldiers lying on the mat, struggling and moaning, Zhao Pu's expression became grim again.

After the simple treatment of Zhao Pu, the hygiene situation of the wounded barracks has been greatly improved, and more doctors are equipped to treat the wounded. However, the overall situation is still not optimistic, there are no antibiotics, no blood transfusion, no sterilization, and no nurses in this era............

After the soldiers were injured, if they were seriously injured, they simply did not need to be saved, and they just made up for it, so as not to waste food and medicinal materials, and those who could be sent to the wounded barracks were either lightly injured or middle and high-ranking officers. Of the 5,000 soldiers who died in battle, more than half were seriously wounded, and before they could breathe, they were stabbed by their robes, so as not to suffer alive.

After most soldiers are wounded, they simply bandage them and apply some herbs, and as for what the wound can become, it is left to fate. And once the number of wounded is too large and there is a shortage of herbs, the soldiers can only clean the wound and bandage it simply, as for whether it will suppurate, whether it will be infected, whether it will die, it all depends on luck.
