Chapter 311: The Mystery of the Past

The trio of the Dajin Shaozhuang faction can be said to be the best of the third generation of the Jin Kingdom, but they have a common problem of teenagers - more enthusiasm and less experience.

The eldest of the three is Wanyan Yanying, who fought on the battlefield with his father at the age of sixteen, accumulated some experience, and followed the vultures for a few years. Don't mention the other two, they are both junior brothers who are on the battlefield for the first time, and they still need to be honed to become steel.

Of course, Wushu was well aware of the situation of the three of them, and for the purpose of training young people, he sent them to the front line, and made proper arrangements for them to learn some military common sense and experience in leading alone. And this mission is not very dangerous, the Song army is wrapped in a large number of civilians and looted materials in the foreign hinterland that has not been completely conquered to protect itself, and it is generally not going to take the initiative to attack, which is just suitable for young people to grow up and see.

But Wushu forgot the old saying that 'three people become tigers', especially for young people who have just entered the rivers and lakes, they still want to find something to do, not to mention that two of the three have a common enmity with Song Jun. And Wanyan Yanying, who led the army, had his battle plan denied, and he already thought that Taishi's approach was 'cowardly', and he was provoked by the other two and left his words behind......

After all, Wan Yan Yanying was a few years older than Wan Yan Liang's brothers, and did not listen to their words and immediately launched a surprise, but continued to follow, but there were more programs in it, he sent a squad of soldiers to use hit-and-run tactics to harass the rear team and flanks of the Song army during the day, and at night he sent troops around the Song army camp to make noise so that they could not sleep peacefully. However, the Song army was worried that the Jin army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain could only counterattack on the spot and expel the matter, and it was even more passive defense at night. Don't dare to take a step out of the defensive circle.

Wanyan Yanying's purpose in doing this was very clear, and the Song army was surrounded by a large number of civilians who were far superior to the Song army's strength. They are not as well-trained as soldiers, and they are disciplined. In the constant harassment, their panic deepened, like frightened birds. In the next step, as long as they choose the right time to launch a surprise attack, they will inevitably be chaotic because of fear, and bombing the camp has been a very terrifying thing since ancient times, it can destroy an invincible army in the blink of an eye into a rout, then they will have a gap to take advantage of, take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack, and the enemy melee to play their strengths, and annihilate them all.

As the intensity of the Jin army's harassment continued to increase. The marching speed of the Song army slowed down significantly, and they could not walk thirty miles in a day, and they became more and more nervous, especially at night, when they heard movement, they released their guns in confusion, making them exhausted. The people were panicked, because the army was in turmoil, and the supervision of the captured population was becoming more and more lax, and many people took the opportunity to escape from the control of the Song army. The rangers of the Jin army have captured many fugitives in the past few days, and they have learned a lot of news from them.

What interests Wanyan Yanying and others the most is that rumors have begun to spread in the Song army that the Jurchens have gathered 100,000 soldiers in Kaizhou, ready to attack them on both sides and annihilate them all. And they are more worried that the weather is getting warmer, the ice is melting, and their way back will be cut off, and there will be no way to escape. Some soldiers even stole the army's property and were ready to flee, but now they have no desire to fight. I just want to hurry up and withdraw to Goryeo and go home.

In addition, when the Song army withdrew, most of the grain and grass were left to the defending troops of Liaoyang City, and only what was needed on the road was brought. Now the march was slow because the way back was blocked. The food supply became increasingly tight, and the armies of the Five Kingdoms and the Song Army also quarreled almost every day over the distribution of grain and grass, and the captive population could only get half a liter of rice every day, which was barely enough to survive and not be starved to death, and they were worried that their lives would not be saved once they were besieged, so out of extreme fear, the slightest disturbance could cause chaos.

The words of the fugitives were quickly confirmed in the following days, and the rearguard of the Song army was no longer as strict as it had been at the beginning, and it was no longer resolute in the face of resistance from the Jin army, and quickly retreated after a while; More and more people escaped at night, and they even found military uniforms discarded by the Song army around the camp, which shows that the Song soldiers also joined the ranks of the escape; The camp evacuated by the Song army was also a mess, the grass roots and bark were stripped and dug up, and the only thing left in the camp was often a grave, which shows that the lack of food for the Song army was not groundless, and a large number of people had died of cold and starvation.

Seeing that the Song army was more than halfway back, there were less than two days away from the state, and the Song army, which was like an arrow, was already exhausted under the attack of the Jin soldiers, and the avant-garde marched on its own, leaving the huge Chinese army far away, and the rear guard was even more useless, and there was no longer the rigor and rigor of the day, the scouts were no longer sent, and the battle was often a one-touch collapse, and it was all up to the marshal's personal guard to resist that the formation did not collapse. Wanyan Yanying felt that the time was ripe, and the moment of the decisive battle was finally waited for by them......

On this day, Jin Junyin made a meal, and quietly set off after the gathering was completed, so that Li Cheng led the army to answer behind. At this time, the Song army was demolishing the camp to gather men and horses to prepare for departure, which was the time when the guards were the most lax and chaotic. The Jin army mounted and launched a surprise attack when it was 300 paces away from the camp, and the Song army found that the enemy was already close at hand, and there was a great chaos in the camp, and the captured people took the opportunity to flee and rushed the Song army that was assembling to pieces.

Seeing that the Jin army was about to rush into the camp, the Song army reluctantly organized a team to use the earthen fortress to block the attack, temporarily blocking the first wave of the Jin army's impact, and the Song army brigade took advantage of this short opportunity to leave the camp and flee south. Under the continuous attack of the Jin army, the defending troops of the Song army soon could not support it, and they abandoned their positions and fled on their horses, and Wanyan Yanying led the army to rush into the camp, and found that the Song army did not even take away all the property looted from Liaoyang City in a panic, and hundreds of carts full of boxes and cages were scattered on the road in a mess, and flags and armor were scattered all over the ground.

"Sons, it's a shame to hunt down and kill Song Jun!" Wan Yan Yanying shouted loudly, leading the army to chase and kill first. Now there is no need for a guide at all, the weapons and equipment discarded by the Song army are the best road signs, they just have to follow and catch up. Although the Song army organized several blockades along the way, the defeat was like a mountain, and it was difficult to be the impact of the Jin army's brigade. Wanyan Yanying and the two royal generals led more than 10,000 cavalry to pursue the Song army brigade along the main road, vowing to behead Zhao Yong......

'Knock, knock' Yan Yanying led the army to chase the defeated army into an undulating hilly area, a dry river is in front of an open field, the panicked Song army abandoned their horses and went up the mountain into the woods between the mountains, he hurriedly divided his troops to intercept, but at this moment a thunderbolt fell from the sky, after two cannon shots, countless Song cavalry suddenly poured out of the river, they lined up in a neat formation and came out, the handsome flag fluttering in the wind was embroidered with a big Zhao character, which was the Song army commander Zhao Yong they were looking for.

At the same time, the Song army that was still running just now returned from the two wings, the flags on the mountain were all over, the Song army poured out of the forest one after another, the most conspicuous thing was more than a dozen cannons with high muzzles, the soldiers were all in good spirits, the armor was shiny and dazzling, where there was a trace of appearance after the defeat, and the Chinese army ordered the flag to wave, the artillery position on the mountain flashed continuously, and in the loud noise, the cannonballs roared and fell into the Jin army that was galloping wildly, blowing up pieces of bloody wind and rain, blocking their retreat.

"Hit the mark!" Wan Yan Yanying couldn't help but panic when she saw this, and she saw that the two people on the left and right were also a little dumbfounded at the moment, and she didn't understand it yet.

"Stop the pursuit and line up to meet the enemy!" Wanyan Yanying hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted loudly, followed by his own soldiers, who received the order and blew the horn, and the Jin army returned to the horse and gathered from all over to gather under the banner of Shuai.

"Du Shuai, what should I do?" Wan Yan Liang asked anxiously in front of Wan Yan Yanying's horse, and the fool could also see that the Song army had set up an ambush circle waiting for them, and the battle situation suddenly made him a little panicked when he was in battle for the first time.

"We have fallen for the trick, Song Jun is really cunning, and he has repeatedly tricked our eyes!" Wanyan Yongti came over and said with an angry face.

"Wulu, I will lead the army to block the Song army, you will escort the Di Gu Nai army to break through the siege, and meet the former army Li Chengbu to meet me!" Wanyan Yanying understood the deep meaning of the Taishi's order at this moment, and secretly regretted being confused by the various illusions released by Song Jun, and he was still too tender. But the matter has come to this point, and he can only face the battle, but he knows that these two must not lose, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the Taishi and the emperor even if he dies.

"Da Lazy, what are you going to do? We will not go with you to meet the enemy! Wan Yanliang shook his head and said firmly, the identity of the royal family and the blood nature of the Jurchens made it difficult for him to abandon his brother and survive alone.

"Don't say more, this matter is at fault with Ben Shuai, you guys break through!" Wan Yan Yanying saw that the Song army had all rushed out of the river valley, and the neat and tight formation slowly accelerated, ready to charge, he knew that the time was running out, and let the two break through again.

"Du Shuai, Jurchen men are born to die on the battlefield, if we abandon you today, I am afraid we will not be ashamed to live in the world, let us fight the enemy together today, and take the head of the enemy!" Wan Yanyong also refused to break through alone.

"It's okay, let's fight the enemy together!" Wanyan Yanying sighed and said, "The Song army is a stone wall formation, this formation is wave after wave, the impact is great, I will lead the front army to break the formation, and the two of you will follow, we will directly take the Chinese army, strive to kill the enemy's main general, and break through the formation to the south!" ”

"Obey the commander's order!" Wan Yan Yong and Wan Yan Liang said in unison on the horse, they had calmed down from the initial panic, and the experience of this battle on the battlefield made their blood boil.

"Attack!" Wanyan Yanying waved the command flag, and two thousand cavalry rushed out of the battle to rush towards the rolling Song army, and the two armies collided together, but they were instantly crushed, trapped in the formation and struggling, and soon were submerged under the Song army's swords and rumbling iron hooves......
