Chapter 621: Recovering Yanyun
Although there are only more than 30,000 people left in the elite of the Jin people who can fight, if they turn back and rush to kill after the Song army abandons their positions, even if they can't let the Song Dynasty chase the whole army be wiped out, they will definitely win.
But it's a pity that after violating Yan Gaoshuai's order, after the belief in victory was destroyed, they were no longer elite in nature, and they had no intention of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and they didn't even want to defect to Wan Yan Sheng when they were weak-hearted.
"The marshal is about to be martyred, the emperor was beaten by the Song army and didn't know where to go, and the old nest in Shangjing was also occupied by the Song army, is there any point in making meritorious contributions? If you don't take the opportunity to escape from the encirclement of the Song army, will you still have a chance to live?"
"Not bad! Let's go to the second prince, shall we? I heard that he had laid a large territory north of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and even if it was a little bitter cold there, it was better than facing the firearms of the Song army and worrying all day long."
"I think so, too!"
"Alas! How good would it be if the second prince had taken over the throne in the first place? Maybe we've already talked to Song Jun and are enjoying ourselves in the Western Regions!"
Many Jin soldiers suddenly missed Yan Zongwang very much, and planned to escape from Gubei Pass and go to the second prince.
Two quarters of an hour before they fled, Zong Ze, who had completed a series of ambush arrangements, ordered to abandon the battle for the pass, and let the Song soldiers who had been strangled with the Jin retreat.
Wanyan Ahuli, who suffered more than half of the casualties, did not order a pursuit, and at the same time was unable to pursue.
Endlessly, 100,000 people took turns to attack for a night, all of them fought with a bloody courage and the will to escape, and at the moment when the Song army abandoned the pass and the side of the avenue, these Jin soldiers also gave up their desperate plans.
"Quick! Clear the road and rush over! As soon as Song Gou is out of the battle, he is about to open fire."
"Blow the horn, let Wanyan Zonggu and Wanyan Zongying follow!"
Wanyan Ahuli gave the order while leading the soldiers to rush through the pass.
Wanyan Zonggu and Wanyan Zongying, who were secretly anxious when they heard the sound of the horn, were immediately overjoyed, and led the mighty military and civilian team to a rapid march.
However, Zong Ze getting out of the way was not the same as releasing life, and bows and crossbows and guns still poured away at the Jin people like no money.
After Yan Zonggu and Yan Zongying led the main force of the Chinese army to rush through most of it, Zong Ze decisively ordered to block the opening again with snowwheels and other objects.
and the Song army chasing from all sides to massacre the Jin army and the elite people of the Jin people.
Although the elite people of these Jin countries are all skilled in bows and horses, they are fighting each other, and they do not form a battle, and they can't resist the rush of the army after losing their wandering space.
Five or six hundred thousand people were divided and surrounded by the Song army into several pieces, and the people on the periphery were constantly assassinated by the shield spearmen, and the people inside couldn't even touch the Song army after the bow and arrow were shot, so they could only watch the Song army continue to accumulate them into a circle, and then slaughter them in an orderly manner.
Wanyan Zonggu, Wanyan Zongying and others wanted to turn back and save each other, but when Wanyan Zongying was shot and killed indiscriminately, and the Song troops from all over the place converged here, Wanyan Zonggu chose to give up after a little hesitation, and in the wave of ambushes established by the Song army relying on the terrain, he left behind the corpses of countless comrades-in-arms and fled to Danzhou.
When the gunfire gradually thinned out, the Jin army who had fought hard all night after Yan Zonggu and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, just when they thought they had finally escaped, the abducted horses composed of 20,000 Western Xia elites suddenly stabbed out diagonally, and after a few rounds of steel crossbow volleys, they directly cut off the Jin army's waist.
"Kill!"
Without waiting for the Jin army to react, Cao Sheng and Cao Hui led the Cao family army to rush out from the other side.
At the same time, countless heavy armor soldiers and white pole soldiers also showed their figures from behind the snow in the small forest, so that the Jin army was not sure how many ambushes the Song army had set up here.
Some people continue to gallop wildly, bent on running for their lives; Some turned back to rescue the cavalry of the Song army, and the once identical Jin Man Iron Cavalry was in chaos in an instant.
"This is the elite of the golden people? In addition to being able to hit points, the arrows are shot on time, which is similar to our army. Where is it that you said so much?"
Fang Fei looked at Si Xingfang and Shi Bao with a suspicious expression.
"I also think you guys were a bit bragging, uncle
That's it!"
Several young lieutenants also showed disdainful expressions.
"They...... They're scared of us!"
"Anyway, it's not the same as before!"
Si Xingfang and Shi Bao felt very faceless, and they rushed towards Jin Jun in anger.
At noon, Jiang Chen got up refreshed under the service of Ayi Zhuoma and Ye Liza.
Compared with Liu Mingjie and Zhu Lian's shyness and conservatism that blushes at every turn and hides their heads in the quilt, the wild enthusiasm of the two grassland princesses who can't wait to squeeze him out of the body is even more evocative and unstoppable.
Jiang Chen grabbed them fiercely and praised: "The two princesses are worthy of growing up eating mutton and drinking milk, and they really have strong capital, which is far from comparable to others."
"Huh!"
"Xiangye is also very heroic!"
Ayi Zhuoma and Ye Lizha blushed, but they were not very shy, Azay also looked at Jiang Chen expectantly and said, "Xiangye, the snow outside has stopped, there will definitely be a lot of hares and roe deer coming out to forage, why don't we go hunting on horseback?"
"Yes, yes, I want to go too!"
Ayidolma's face was full of excitement.
"Okay! Let's go after dinner!"
Jiang Chen couldn't bear to refuse their little request, and while marveling at their energy, he also nodded and agreed.
As soon as he finished packing up and came to the hall to sit down, Liu Yuancheng handed over a battle report: "Big brother, Marshal Wan Yan Gao of the Jin State died in battle when he attacked Shunzhou!" Wanyan Zonggu led less than 200,000 remnants to flee to Danzhou, and it is impossible to calculate how much they can survive.
The other Jin people were almost killed or killed, and they were either killed or scattered, and now they are searching and clearing the remnants......
"And nearly 200,000?"
Jiang Chen frowned: "With the current situation of the Jin Kingdom, shouldn't those Khitans rebel or surrender? Could it be that in their eyes, the Jin people are closer than Xiliao?"
"They didn't dare, they learned from the captives that almost all of the Han people were slaughtered by the Jurchens on orders of the Khitans, and they all thought that falling into the hands of our army would only lead to a dead end."
Liu Yuancheng replied with a wry smile.
His mother-in-law, Yang Cuitao, brought a few bowls of hot soup and put them in front of Jiang Chen and the others, and muttered in a low voice: "Those Khitans used to like to kill Han people, but they may not have been forced, they just robbed money and lust. It's not innocent to kill!"
Although the ancestors of their Yang family are not as powerful and heroic as in the script, most of them died at the hands of the Khitans, so Yang Cuitao, like her father Yang Bangyuan and others, has no good impression of the Khitans.
