Chapter 681: Zhao Zhen's Anger
When the time comes, give him time to reorganize his arms and fight, and he may not have the strength to fight Su Shi head-on.
Wang Decheng also wanted to retreat to Qingfeng City, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Sushi cavalry had not yet arrived to enter the city first. But he didn't want to think about it, with such a big loophole, how could Su Shi not be prepared.
"Kill!"
Originally, more than 400 carriages, which were just archery and no one was visible, just when Wang Decheng had just ordered the withdrawal of the troops and the cavalry of the forbidden army was about to turn their horses, the first and second brigades moved.
They did not stand in the carriage, but dismounted on foot, and then wound and shot at the back of the forbidden army with eight rounds.
Feng Yidao and Hu Tongtian received the task that if the enemy did not retreat, they would stay in the carriage. But if the enemy wants to retreat, they must kill it, pestering the other party and not retreating safely, so Su Shi and the cavalry arrive to buy time.
The two brigades of nearly 4,000 Su Jiajun suddenly killed, and in the process of running forward quickly, the arrows fell into the chaotic forbidden cavalry one after another, and suddenly produced a lot of killing effect.
Previously, they could only hide in the carriage, but as long as the forbidden army was far away from them, they could be safe.
But now, Feng killed them with a knife, and he was still chasing them, which made everyone feel that the world was big and there was no safe place.
The cavalry of the forbidden army were huddled together, and they could not give full play to the advantages of their horses. If you enter the city in such a situation, needless to say, you will definitely be caught up by these Su family troops and shot from afar.
No one wants to stand there and become a target, so although Wang Decheng retreated first, he still retreated towards Qingfeng City, looking like he had made an example for you. But there are still many forbidden troops who did not choose to squeeze into Qingfeng City with everyone in order to protect themselves, but changed to a no-man's direction and retreated.
There was a forbidden army that did not choose to enter the city, but went to a sparsely populated place, and the speed of the war horse was exerted and quickly disappeared. Naturally, the others followed suit, and in this way, the forbidden army was divided into dozens in a short period of time, and each rushed away.
"Bastard, bastard, enter the city."
Wang Decheng, who had already entered Qingfeng City and trotted to the city tower, saw that the forbidden army had scattered without obeying orders, and couldn't help but scold again and again.
It's just that on the chaotic battlefield, his voice can't be heard at all, let alone someone will obey orders.
The forbidden army scattered and fled, and there were not many people who really entered Qingfeng City, and there were only four or five thousand horsemen. Others fled far away. At this time, Su Shi also rushed over with nearly 5,000 cavalry and began to chase and kill those forbidden cavalry who were still hesitating under the city.
The Su family army came, and it was still cavalry. The Forbidden Army, who was still preparing to enter the city when there were fewer people, completely abandoned this idea.
Didn't you see, in order to protect himself, Wang Decheng had already ordered the city gate to be closed?
They couldn't enter the city, so they could only flee in all directions. Because they fled slowly, they had to be careful to be caught up by the Su family's army, and these forbidden troops ran faster and more chaotic.
The 25,000 elite Great Song Forbidden Army, wearing armor and each with a war horse, seemed to be extremely powerful. But even if he was defeated by Su Shi with more than 8,000 Su family troops, he was still defeated.
Another half an hour passed, and in front of Qingfeng City, there were already forbidden troops who were not riding on war horses, some were just a mess, and some forbidden troops who had been killed in battle and were wounded by arrows.
The wounded forbidden soldiers lay on the ground one by one, and although some were seriously injured and the pain struck their whole bodies, they still did not dare to make a sound. For fear of angering the Su family army who was cleaning the battlefield in front of him, and upsetting them, he would solve himself with a knife.
The Su family army is cleaning up the battlefield. For the forbidden army, both dead and not dead but seriously wounded, it seems as if they were not seen. They didn't want these corpses, not prisoners, just the swords and armor of the forbidden army.
First of all, regardless of the combat power of the forbidden army, whether it is worthy of the word elite. Let's just say that the equipment on them is really good.
Especially these forbidden troops are all wearing armor, and some are still good armor. Although it is much inferior to the stab-proof suit, the defense cannot be compared, and the agility is far worse. But used to arm ordinary armies, these armors are still there
Good stuff.
Although some of the armor is damaged, it doesn't matter, go back to the blacksmith and repair it, and you can get it back to new condition.
On the tower of Qingfeng City, the wound on Wang Decheng's leg had been bandaged, and he was standing on the tower at this time, looking at the Su family army who was cleaning the battlefield under the city with a vicious gaze.
There was only one thing left to stare at with his eyes, and Wang Decheng, who only had 5,000 forbidden troops at this time, did not dare to go out of the city.
Twenty-five thousand forbidden troops can't win, and now there are only five thousand, that's a fart.
In this way, the Su family army under the city cleaned up the battlefield without being disturbed, followed by the assembly, and then drove the carriage away.
This posture of treating Wang Decheng as air is the biggest insult on the battlefield.
Su Jiajun left, and the carriage returned to its original state, only this time it contained real family members.
Left and right of the team, the 1st and 2nd Brigades and the 800 True Black Horsemen were responsible for protecting their safety, and the farther and farther, the farther and farther.
In a battle outside Qingfeng City, more than 4,000 forbidden soldiers were killed and nearly 10,000 enemies were injured. Completely inflicted a heavy blow on the forbidden army that followed from Bianliang City.
This battle showed the prestige of the Su family's army and their reputation, and in the process of going north, they even passed several cities, and no one dared to stop them.
The military capabilities of the Great Song were only average.
And even if they are replaced by Sheng Tang and Qiangming, the troops they deploy locally are limited.
In general, the security of the city is governed by the local yamen. Occasionally, when a major incident occurs, when it is necessary to transfer troops, it will be reported layer by layer, and in the end, hundreds or thousands of Song troops will rush to assist.
There are more than 8,000 elite forces that the Su family army can fight, how can these small cities dare to move their beards?
This is the meaning of the battle of Qingfeng City.
Under the first battle, the backbone of the Song army was broken, so that they did not dare to pursue or block.
Before Wang Decheng's army defeated Qingfeng City, although he was unwilling in his heart, after confirming that Su Shi's army had left, he still returned to Bianliang City with 5,000 forbidden troops.
The army is newly defeated, the morale is low, and the troops are insufficient, where does he still have the courage to follow Su Shi, isn't the previous humiliation enough?
......
Bianliang City.
The Song army sent to pursue Su Shi withdrew one by one.
What I brought back was the news of the defeat of the Song army.
In the Longtu Pavilion, all the ministers stood here, including Zhao Yunrang and Wang Deyong, who had lost the battle.
On the golden dragon chair, Zhao Zhen's majestic gaze swept over everyone one by one, and he was very angry at this moment.
He was angry that Su Shi really dared to rebel.
He was angry at the uselessness of his courtiers.
He was also angry at the strength of the Su family's army.
Previously, the Liao State took the initiative to negotiate peace, and also said that if they wanted to surrender, they would only surrender to Su Shi, at that time Zhao Zhen also thought that this was a useless plan for the Liao people to sow discord after being frightened.
But after fighting Su Shi, he knew that the Liao people were not exaggerating, and the Su family army was really capable of fighting.
Even the most elite forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty is not its opponent, and it has been defeated in several battles, so don't point to being able to use military methods to eliminate Su Shi.
This is not to say that Da Song really can't help Su Shi, but if he really does this, the price he needs to pay is too great.
For example, in addition to the 300,000 forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Army and the Northern Army also had elite divisions, and if they were all mobilized, it would still be possible to form an elite division of 500,000.
500,000 against Su Shi's less than 10,000 horses, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason to lose.
But if Zhao Zhen really does this, the grain, grass and money that need to be used will be an astronomical amount, where will the money come from?
The cost was too great, so Zhao Zhen had to give up the idea.
When it came to money, Zhao Zhen was angry again.
It was originally a good thing to occupy all the Jiaozi money houses in the Great Song Dynasty and re-establish the Great Song Money Villages.
The private wealth is nationalized, and the money can be concentrated to do a lot of great things, and the Great Song Dynasty is strong, and it is just around the corner to step to a new level.
But who knows, Su Shi's reversal, some problems will be immediately exposed. There was only an empty shelf left in the Great Song Money Village.
Except for a part of the money that was embezzled and divided by the courtiers, the rest was deposited in Huaxia Bank.
Perhaps, these courtiers are not optimistic about Da Song Qianzhuang, but think that Huaxia Bank is more reliable.
It's just that I didn't expect that Su Shi would be the opposite. In this way, the money that was deposited could not be withdrawn, and in this way, the Great Song Dynasty, which should have been very wealthy, had to be financially stretched in an instant.
Zhao Zhen didn't want to talk about this matter.
Even himself, didn't he also take advantage of the Great Song Money Village?
Even the three divisions, who have always controlled money very strictly, and the most reassuring envoy Song Qi, also deposited 10 million yuan in Huaxia Bank?
Everyone is at fault, so don't say anything about anyone, otherwise you're embarrassing yourself.
Faults can not be pursued, but the problem of lack of money in the imperial court and the lack of money in the treasury always has to be solved. This time, Zhao Zhen called everyone over, in addition to discussing how to deal with Su Shi, there was also a question about how to generate income.
If the country has no money, it is really not far from the death of the country.
Just like Emperor Chongzhen, if he had silver in his hand, he would not be in arrears, and there would be no Li Zicheng leading his army to attack Beijing City, and the soldiers would take the initiative to open the city gates.
"Let's talk about it, how to decide the matter of the Su thief." On the golden dragon chair, Zhao Zhen opened his mouth.
His Majesty asked, and after the courtiers looked at each other, they told the decision they had discussed before.
"Your Majesty, we still have to see what the thief wants first, we can first let him come back in the form of peace talks, but if it doesn't work, we can also trick him into coming back and let him reopen Huaxia Bank, so that the treasury deposits can be taken out again, which is the best policy." At that time, I will find a random charge for him, and arrest him and send him to prison."
