Chapter 104: Encountering a surprise attack, the Song army retreated to the Immortal Pass
Jin Wushu brought 100,000 soldiers this time, of which 5,000 were completely lost, and 70,000 were Liu Yu's Daqi troops, led by Liu Kui, the envoy of Sichuan.
Naturally, the troops of Liu Kui, the envoy of Sichuan Zhaofu, opened the way in front, and they were all the troops of the original Song Dynasty, and in the words of Jin Bing, they were cannon fodder troops. 100,000 people stayed in Fengxiang Dasanguan and had 20,000, which had to be guarded against, of which 10,000 were Liu Qi's troops, and among the 80,000 troops attacking, Jin Wushu brought the generals Wanyan Wuli, Yanying and other 10,000 Jin soldiers, and Wanyan's brother Wanyan did not have to bring 5,000 Xihe troops, and Shaanxi's economic envoy Sa Liyu also personally helped and followed Jin Wushu's side.
Jin Wushu went all the way from Fengxiang to this Hui County, and although he killed more than 5,000 Song troops, he lost more than 10,000, and this battle loss ratio reached nearly three to one. There were still more than 60,000 people in front of this iron mountain, and every time Liu Kui's Liu Qi's army took turns to send hundreds of people to fight to the death, the army was empty and had nothing to do in the back, so they shouted a few times.
Hearing the ghost idea of Wanyan Wude, Jin Wushu patted Wude's shoulder and laughed:
"God help me, God help me!"
Jin Wushu immediately ordered that in addition to leaving 10,000 people in front of the battle to put pressure on the Song army to attract the Song army's idea, the rest, whether it was the general or the school, all stepped forward to cut down trees and remove soil, and for more than ten days, they actually let them make a way, although it was in vain, but it was better than killing and fighting in front of the pass.
Below this ridge is a valley, because of the tension in front of the pass, there is no one to defend the guard, unexpectedly let the Jin soldiers smoothly open the road, when the Jin soldiers went around to the pass, the guard Wu Bin found that it was too late, as a last resort, Wu Bin immediately decided, organized the Song army to fight to seize the siege.
This Wu Bin, this luck is too bad, the first time he let his family come down from the high mountain and broke the monk's plain, and this time he let the family slash from behind. Although he was unlucky and careless, he was still a good hand at commanding the army, and he needed to make a decision at the right time.
Do we still remember that at the beginning of last year, Sa Li drank from Lantian Pass to break through Shangzhou to attack Wuguan, made a detour to raid Jinzhou (Ankang), and lost in front of Rao Feng Pass, but also bypassed Rao Feng Pass and caught the Song army off guard, and as a last resort, Liu Ziyu of Song Zhixing Yuanfu engaged in a scorched earth tactic, so that the Jin army had no rice to eat, no house to live in, and retreated on its own.
Song Jun doesn't have a long memory, and his vigilance is too poor.
Therefore, this Wu Lan can only be regarded as a fierce general, and it is almost impossible to lead troops independently.
As long as there are a few sentinels in this kind of place, why would they lose their troops and run away in embarrassment?
After breaking the Tieshan Pass, the Jin Army Brigade went straight in and arrived at the killing Jinping in front of the Immortal Pass. At this time, the vanguard Yan Ying asked Jin Wushu to launch an attack immediately, taking advantage of the Song army's surprise to attack the Immortal Pass.
Jin Wushu was very cautious and refused Yan Ying's request, but this Yan Ying repeatedly requested, which made Zong Bi furious, am I in command or you in command, there is no end to you, waved the knife, hit Yan Ying's helmet with the back of the knife, and ordered to retreat.
Yan Ying didn't say anything, but muttered in his heart, "The enemy's spirit has been lost, and if our army does not take advantage of its exhaustion, it will definitely regret it in the future." ”
Wu Bin retreated with thousands of soldiers to Kill Jinping, which was the preset battlefield for Wu Jue to strictly guard the Immortal Pass, and there was a second Ping behind, and then the Immortal Pass.
Wu Jue saw Wu Bin retreating, asked the reason, and scolded this younger brother who relied on him as his arm:
"How many years have you been leading your troops to war, and you think you'll be fine if you guard the pass? Can't your eyes look to the side? If it's all that simple, what's the use of this threshold? The monk was lost, and I didn't expect to hold there, but this iron mountain was lost, and we had no way out except to fight at the Immortal Pass? ”
"Do you want to retreat to the Sword Pavilion? Retreat in, as soon as the golden soldiers are blocked at the pass, we will never want to come out. This Hanzhong and Qinzhou are my territory, and if you say you lose it, you will lose it? . Besides, the following are the children of my Wu family. ”
Wu Bin was very ashamed of his two mistakes, and sincerely accepted the rebuke of his eldest brother, and said to Wu Jue: "Big brother, just use my blood to bear my mistakes, I will live and die with this place." With that, he walked outside.
When he arrived at Killing Jinping, Wu Xi drew a line with a knife on the ground, and Wu Bin's eyes were as red as if he was about to bleed. Say to your men:
"The Jin army has killed thousands of my brothers, plundered many of our sisters and relatives, as slaves and servants, cattle and horses, today is the time for us to avenge their hatred, if anyone dares to take a step back, retreat from this line and kill!"
He blamed himself deeply for his own mistake. Indeed, once the Golden Bull Road is retreated, this Hanzhong is people's territory, last year Liu Ziyu in Raofeng Pass when why did not defend Hanzhong, but retreated to Nanzheng, in the face of the Jin army, then the soldiers, the city wall of Hanzhong is like tofu, only retreat to Nanzheng, hold the rice cang road, is the key to choke the Jin soldiers into Sichuan.
When Wu Jue was broken in the Iron Mountain, he had 20,000 soldiers and horses left, in the face of the army of Jin soldiers, he felt the lack of manpower, and thought that he only had a few thousand remnants of the monks when he guarded the monks, and now there are more than 30,000 people, the soldiers are strong and strong, more than 200 miles of the old road, the sky is dangerous, Wu Jue thinks that there is no problem in holding it, today, the enemy army attacked the immortal pass, and sent himself to the cliff. He wrote several letters overnight to the surrounding guards, Guan Shigu in Chengxian County, his old boss Wang Yan in Raofengguan, and Liu Qi on the Golden Bull Road, asking for their support.
After he sent the letter, he did not receive any news from Wang Yan, Liu Qi, and Guan Gushi for several days, and he was very anxious, and then he received a letter.
This is a handwritten letter written by Jin Wushu to Wu Jue. The words of the golden vulture are very beautiful, a willow script, very rigorous, he has a steel bone, do not read the content of the letter, Wu Jue is still very appreciative of the golden vulture a Jurchen, a military general wrote such a good word.
Jin Wushu said in the letter: "The Zhao family has declined and cannot be supported; When the public comes, he should choose a good land for a hundred miles and be the king. ”
Wu Jue knows in his heart that once he surrenders, the Wu family will never be able to turn over, although there are many people who surrender in this troubled era, but people can surrender, but he Wu Jue can't surrender.
At this time, Wu Bin also said: "Big brother, surrender, our Wu family should not look up and walk." As soldiers, we will die when we die, and since we have come out to be soldiers, we will have this day, but we must also think about future generations. Besides, although our situation is unfavorable, we can defend the spillover and still have a war. ”
Wu Jue nodded: "Then I can rest assured, you go and tell us the children of the Wu family, there are only the Wu family who die standing up, and there are no ghosts of the Wu family who are born on their knees." There you go. ”
He sat down and replied to the Golden Vulture with a short letter of only one line:
"I have already dealt with the Zhao family, and I dare not have two hearts."
When Jin Wushu received the reply, he was very discouraged, and the corners of Pioneer Yanying's mouth seemed to be mocking.
Zong Bi saw the sneer of the pioneer Yiying, ignored him, and did not let him participate in the battle, and personally led the army to attack. Jin Wushu attacked the Song army from the east, while Han Chang, the general of the guard, led the army to attack the Song army from the west. And Wu Bin, seeing that Jin Wushu was so brave, also sent the general Yang Zheng to lead the swords and gunners to rush into the enemy formation, and fought a bloody battle with the Jin army, and he took his own soldiers to supervise the formation behind.
