Chapter 618: Chongqing is lonely and dangerous
Although he was in a fierce confrontation with Kublai Khan, Yao Ruoyu's thoughts were always shrouded below, sensing Xu Jingmiao's defeat, and his face changed slightly, while Kublai Khan laughed loudly, and the sword light became more and more rapid, not giving Yao Ruoyu a chance to help.
"Get out!" Yao Ruoyu, who was anxious for Xu Jingmiao, angrily took out his sword, and the killing dragon sword suddenly attacked with Sen Rui's killing intent, cutting and shattering all of Kublai Khan's anger, so shocked that Kublai Khan hurriedly put away his sword to defend, and did not dare to obstruct the other party to save people at all.
A sword frightened Kublai Khan, Yao Ruoyu's figure flickered, and his shadow instantly appeared in a shadow below, and after he swept up, he hugged Xu Jingmiao, and waved a sword in his hand, shattering all the Dao sword light that Ding Yanzhi was pursuing.
Seeing that Yao Ruoyu rescued Xu Jingmiao, Ding Yanzhi didn't chase after him, but just smiled and said: "Yao Ruoyu, the defeat of Chongqing Mansion has been decided, even if you are already the prince of the Seven Realms, how can you turn the tide?"
Hearing him ridicule, Yao Ruoyu was angry, but at this time, he didn't care about this, he quickly retreated into the city with Xu Jingmiao, ran the sword domain to plunder the essence blood of hundreds of soldiers, purified it and put it all into Xu Jingmiao's body, and finally made his face recover a little blood.
Although Xu Jingmiao was defeated, Kublai Khan and Ding Yanzhi did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but accepted it when they saw it, and directly collected their troops in Mingjin, and the Song army did not dare to pursue, so they could only watch the Mongolian army withdraw.
*——*——*——*
At night, Xu Jingmiao, who had just woken up, ignored Cao Yuying's dissuasion, and quickly summoned everyone to discuss in the lobby of the official office.
After listening to Wang Ping's battle damage report, everyone's hearts were heavy.
Although Yao Ruoyu and Xu Jingmiao had blocked Kublai Khan and Ding Yanzhi in the previous few days, and thousands of spiritual masters on their side had successfully deployed and killed countless Mongolian troops, their battle losses were still huge to the point of being almost tragic.
In just six days, the 70,000 defenders directly killed more than 20,000 people, and more than 20,000 people were slightly injured and seriously wounded, which means that not counting the wounded soldiers, there are less than 30,000 people in the city who can still fight.
Correspondingly, although the Mongol army was bombarded by the spirit masters to kill 40,000 or 50,000 people, there were still about 130,000, which was enough to kill the remaining 30,000 Song Dynasty soldiers in the next few days under the bombardment of the spirit masters.
After listening to this battle report, Xu Peng and others, who were clamoring a few days ago to destroy the Mongolian army, shrank their heads one by one and did not speak, but fortunately, Deng Yitong, Ma Shoucai and other old Jin ministers did not take the opportunity to mock.
In the six-day battle, not only did tens of thousands of soldiers be sacrificed, but Xu Peng and others also turned pale because of excessive consumption, and although they replenished the pills in time, their faces were still not good-looking.
Seeing that the atmosphere was low, Wang Ping hesitated and said, "In two more days, reinforcements from the rest of the states and counties should be able to arrive, let's hold on a little longer......" As he spoke, he himself had stopped.
As a military general, he can see the situation more clearly than those civilian officials, let alone two days, as long as the Mongols storm for another day at any cost, I am afraid that Wanzhou City will be broken, where to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Because of the injury, Xu Jingmiao's lips were slightly pale, he glanced around, his eyes changed a few times, and suddenly said, "Is there any news from the Tiger Army?"
Mu Lie shook his head when he heard this, Xu Jingmiao sighed, and said solemnly: "Since this is the case, we have withdrawn to Linjiang one after another, and the Mongols do not have the spiritual blessing of the Black Lotus Sect, and the speed of the march is definitely not as good as ours." ”
Everyone bowed their heads silently when they heard this, no matter what, now the Song army is no match for the Mongolian army, not to mention that Xu Jingmiao has not recovered from serious injuries, and the Song army in the city will not be able to withstand the next offensive of the Mongols at all, even if Yao Ruoyu blocks Kublai Khan, it will not be able to save the situation at all.
*——*——*——*
It's just that the situation is far more critical than Xu Jingmiao and others thought.
That night, everyone gathered a large army, with the people and ordnance and materials in the city, and evacuated from the west gate, Yao Ruoyu sat behind alone, and before leaving, he set a fire in the city and burned all the materials that could not be taken away.
Probably because of Yao Ruoyu, Kublai Khan and Ding Yanzhi did not take the opportunity to pursue and kill, and let them retreat to Linjiang, until reinforcements from Sizhou, Gongzhou, Banzhou and other places arrived to meet, and the Mongolian army pursued to the outside of Linjiang City and attacked again.
Ding Yanzhi's sword not only shattered the Shu seal and the Great Song Dynasty, but also hurt Xu Jingmiao's soul, which naturally could not be healed in just a few days, so Yao Ruoyu could only contain Kublai Khan and Ding Yanzhi alone.
It's just a single Kublai Khan, Yao Ruoyu is more than enough, but Ding Yanzhi's Nine Punishment Sword is specialized in Lingyun, whether it is his demon dragon life or the power of Dawen, all of them are restrained and targeted, and one out of ten percent of his combat power can only exert seven or eight percent.
In addition, Long Cheng also made a move in the battle of Linjiang, and his spatial secret technique was indeed infinitely mysterious, and he could move thousands of people out of thin air with a snap of his fingers.
Under the command of Ding Yanzhi, Long Cheng constantly moved the elite teams of the Mongols to various parts of the battlefield, breaking through the Song army's defense line one by one.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Jingmiao could only drag her injured body and force her move, and finally contained the offensive of the Mongolian army, delayed the battle until the evening, and both sides withdrew their troops.
That night, however, the scouts who had been sent to the north suddenly returned, returning with a piece of suffocating news.
The Northern Expeditionary Army attacking Jin has returned from Shaanxi, but in addition to the Tiger Army, the Yanggu Army, the Liehong Army, and the Hengshan Army did not go here, but went straight to Jinghu North Road and headed all the way to the east.
The people present were all smart people, and they couldn't see that Chongqing Mansion had been abandoned by them, except for Zuo Husong, the rest of the people didn't plan to come here for reinforcements at all, but all rushed to Hangdu to rescue.
Xu Jingmiao was originally seriously injured and had not recovered, but now when she learned about this, she vomited blood and fainted, and a number of state officials also had their own opinions, some wanted to evacuate quickly, and some felt that they should continue to defend and wait for reinforcements from the Tiger Army and various states, and even more exaggerated, there were still people who thought that they should take the initiative to attack.
Mu Lie, Ma Shoucai, Fan Hu and other civil and military officials of the old Jin family were all faintly headed by Deng Yitong, and they always watched coldly, but Qu Feng, Zhuang Lin, Ni Ding, Dou Ji and others expressed their opinions and argued endlessly.
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more noisy, Yao Ruoyu finally shook his head secretly, his eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "Shut up!"
The anger and coercion of the Seven Realms were pervasive, and all the Five Realms in the hall were actually intimidated by his loud shout, and even Dou Ji and the others, who were almost about to roll up their sleeves and dry the rack, were stunned, and looked at them in shock.
Slowly getting up, Yao Ruo's foolish eyes glanced at everyone coldly, and said in a deep voice: "The Mongolian army is eyeing outside, and you are still here to quarrel because of your own selfish desires, what kind of system is it?"
Seeing Yao Ruoyu angry, Qu Feng's face turned slightly pale, and he arched his hand and said, "I don't know what the prince has to say?"
Yao Ruoyu ignored him, turned his head to look at Deng Yitong, who had always been silent, and said indifferently: "Lord Deng." ”
"Lord Wang. Deng Yitong stood up.
Yao Ruoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "I heard that Lord Deng is from a military family, and he has been in war for a long time over the years, so I don't know what to say about the current situation?"
Hearing that he was actually asking Deng Yitong, Dou Ji, Xu Peng and others were all displeased, and Wang Ping frowned and said: "Lord Deng is a scholar, and the prince is ......."
Before he could finish speaking, Yao Ruoyu had already swept a cold look, and the former was so frightened that he couldn't help but close his mouth.
Ignoring the criticism of others, in the face of Yao Ruoyu's sudden test, Deng Yitong groaned a little, and said solemnly: "The Mongolian army is invincible, immediately retreat to Fuzhou, and find a way to notify the Tiger Army to join us there." ”
"What if the Mongols come over while we are retreating?" said Hu Long, the governor of Qianzhou.
"The old trick is repeated, and then a little strategy can be used. Deng Yitong rolled up his sleeves and smiled.
Yao Ruoyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Don't sell it." ”
"Well," Deng Yitong smiled, and then said, "Just like when Wanzhou was in time, everyone evacuated with the army, and after the three armies of Yunyang, Liangshan, and Nanping, before leaving, set a fire in the city and burned all the materials that could not be taken away. ”
"Isn't this the same as before?" Ni Ding was puzzled.
"However, there is a second step," Deng Yitong looked at Yao Ruoyu and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, if you are alone, you may escape from the siege of the Mongol army?"
Yao Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No problem." ”
At this moment, Kublai Khan and Ding Yanzhi can pose a certain threat to him in the Mongolian army outside the city, but if he wants to leave, no one can stop him.
"In this case, when I retreat, please continue to stay in the city, and wait for the Mongol army to enter the city and take the opportunity to raid Kublai Khan, the fourth prince of Mongolia, as long as he can't lead the army to continue the pursuit. ”
Deng Yitong smiled indifferently: "Now it is different from the previous in Wanzhou, this time the Tiger Army is coming to help, and the Mongols will naturally not tolerate our smooth withdrawal, but there is a prince who secretly attacked Kublai Khan, even if he can't be killed, at least it can delay the pursuit of the Mongolian army." ”
This arrangement is not leaky, and there is indeed no big problem, even Xu Peng and others, who are at odds with him, can't find a thorn.
It's just that Yao Ruoyu pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Mongolian teacher Ding Yanzhi is very resourceful, ...... your arrangement"
Before he finished speaking, Deng Yitong had already said with a smile: "Deng Mou, the strategy of the Mongolian national teacher, has long heard of it, after all, he is the top ten people on the splendid list, but for them, Deng Mou is just a governor of Wanzhou, and he doesn't care about my existence at all. ”
Yao Ruoyu nodded slightly, Ding Yanzhi's strength lies in his ability to use variables, but without knowing the existence of Deng Yitong, he may not be able to guess these arrangements in advance.
Thinking of this, Yao Ruoyu bowed his head and said, "Okay." ”
Deng Yitong smiled and said, "In this case, I bother you to immediately mobilize troops and horses and evacuate from the West Gate." ”
Seeing Yao Ruoyu agree, Xu Jingmiao fainted again, and Xu Peng and the others could only obey Deng Yitong's arrangement and went out to mobilize their own troops.
*——*——*——*
Half an hour later, with Kublai Khan's angry shout full of pain, Yao Ruoyu, who had succeeded with a sword, turned into a ghost and disappeared into thin air, following the shadows that could be seen everywhere in the night.
At the gate of the city, Ding Yanzhi, who was holding Kublai Khan, had a solemn look in his eyes, as if he was shocked and suspicious.
