The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter Five Hundred and Eleven Offensive and Defensive Ectopic

As the scouts who went to check the source of the cannon and the cause of the fire in Zhaozhou returned, Wanyan Yanying quickly learned the truth and learned that the Song army had begun to gather. This made him wish he could kill him on the sand beam, and he was almost perfect.

The withdrawal plan actually faces the threat of failure due to trivial matters, and two seemingly irrelevant things are the root cause of the exposure of the withdrawal plan.

It turned out that there were only less than 500 Jin troops left behind in the southern camp. Their mission was to confuse the Song army and prevent the Song army from discovering their actions. However, the psychological pressure these left-behind soldiers could be imagined, especially

The overreaction of the Jin army who went out to patrol the camp attracted the counterattack and suspicion of the Song army, which caused the Song army to launch artillery and temptation to cause a fire. However, the Jin army left behind thought that they had been exposed and did not care about putting out the fire and pretending to be garlic.

Then he ran away and let the fire expand.

The overall evacuation of the military and civilians in Zhaozhou City was not as smooth as expected. After all, people have lived here for many years, and the foundation of their family business is here. The arrival of the Song army has caused them heavy losses, and with the gathering of large troops, they have made them suffer.

They saw the hope of victory, and now they suddenly retreated to the south bank and were naturally unacceptable. However, under the swords and guns of the soldiers, they could only surrender, but they could only clean up the fine and soft things and arrange the family. Although they delayed again and again, it was still difficult to do it on time.

Evacuate before sunset.

Shi Jianu and Pucha, who were responsible for the evacuation of the military and civilians in the city, were anxious. As planned, they had already arrived on the other side before sunset, but now they have been delaying and finally become the troops behind the palace, and the danger coefficient is increasing little by little. They received the

The order was that once the surrounding camps had withdrawn, they could raise the fire as a sign to notify them to ignite the fire. Therefore, after the two discussed, they arranged people in various parts of the city, collected firewood, poured tinder oil, and prepared to get the first order to get the evacuation.

Set fire to the city immediately after time.

The sky was getting darker. The two Shi family slaves ordered people to urge the people who had not yet evacuated from the city to leave quickly, while standing on the city wall, watching a group of soldiers passing by the city and escape from danger. They were also more eager to look forward to it.

The camp outside the city quickly sent a signal. He could also take the last bus. Just as the two of them were jumping in a hurry, they suddenly saw the campfire. They didn't care about the details, so the sound of the cannon was naturally ignored.

There were still people in the city who had not withdrawn and immediately ordered the fire. For a moment, the fire broke out everywhere in Zhaozhou City, and they followed out of the city and rushed to the river bank. Who cares about those who had not left the city?

When the Shi family slaves rushed to the riverside excitedly to report to the Tutong Army that they had successfully completed the mission of evacuating the military and burning the city, they knew how big the mistake they had made, but the Tutong Army was still kind and would stay in the camp.

All the people who were provoking trouble without authorization and leaking the secret of withdrawal were beheaded, and the two of them were ordered to turn into the back team to lead their troops to fight against the Song army that was chasing him, and they were punished for their great merits!

Wanyan Qingying dealt with the criminal head, but he knew that the matter was irreversible, so he could only do his best to ensure that the army could cross the river. He turned around and looked at the river. The ferry was crowded with people, stepping onto the floating bridge in an orderly manner under the command of the personal soldiers.

However, since the pontoon bridge was built hastily, it is supported by a small boat that was temporarily requisitioned, and some wooden boards were laid as bridge boards, so the load-bearing capacity is small and it is difficult to carry too many people at the same time. The distance must be widened and it seems that it will pass through one after another.

It was like a long snake squirming slowly. More people gathered on the river beach waiting for passage, and I don’t know how long it would take to cross the river. If the Song army fought to the point where they had nowhere to retreat.

"Assign all troops to abandon their baggage, speed up the passage, and do not gather together in the waiting group of crossing the river. Choose a suitable place to cross the river and cross the river as soon as possible to set up defenses." Wanyan Qiying said anxiously when he saw the slow speed of crossing the river.

"Accept the order, but Zhaozhou City has occupied a floating bridge alone, which has caused dissatisfaction among the army. Asking them to abandon their supplies and float horses across the river may cause dissatisfaction!" said Xie Nu, the military supervisor Jiagu.

"Well. It was because they were greedy for money and were unable to leave the city for a long time to cause such a disaster. They immediately drove them off the floating bridge and let the troops go first!" Wanyan Qiying said with a sneer. He was angry and had nowhere to vent. It happened that those backward Zhaozhou were just behind.

The people became scapegoats.

There is a reason why Wanyan Yanying did this. Most of the troops who crossed the river were Meng'an and Mouke soldiers who enjoyed territory around the capital. However, they had gradually evolved from a military organization during the founding period to a local administrative organization.

It is characterized by the unity of administration, production and military. They form their own organization and build villages between villages. They do not belong to prefectures and counties. They have their household registration and are granted official fields and become military farms. This kind of military farming is Meng'an and Mouke households

In fact, it is a hereditary military householder who is the Jurchens.

Mouke and Meng'an also evolved into officials who exercised local administrative management, in charge of military affairs, training martial arts, and persuading farming and sericulture. Like the defense envoys of the defense states, they have the responsibility of "unpredictable defense and theft taxes"

The mission of the Meng'an Mouke households usually engage in agricultural production in addition to training. If there is any war, Ding Zhuang accepted the recruitment and bought his own horse equipment to fight; his family still stayed at home to produce.

Because of Mouke, Meng'an was mostly held by the Jurchens, and most of them were ancestors or those who made great contributions to the country, so they were granted hereditary official positions. Therefore, they were grateful to the Jin Kingdom and loyal to the Jin Kingdom. The Meng Kingdom was busy with farming around the capital.

An, Mouke was a tribe who was founding heroes and was trusted by the royal family to obtain the qualification to stay around. It can be said that they are an important force in defending the capital.

However, these Meng'an and Mouke still maintain the tradition of the past. After being summoned as soldiers, they all brought their own horses and supplies, and the country was not responsible for supplying food and grass. In the past, they mostly fought against foreign countries and could supplement their consumption through seizure and plunder.

But now we are fighting in the country, and relying on plunder and supplementary supplies will not work. Therefore, food and consumption must be provided by our own tribes, and what we do is to make a deal that only loses but not earns. At the same time, these tribe troops also have to bear the responsibility of the country and lords

Double taxes are very heavy.

Now, if the clan army crosses the river, they must abandon all the supplies to reduce the burden. After returning, they cannot get the national supplement and can only pay for the bills. Of course, they do not have the courage to give up the supplies of Changchun City.

Therefore, it will inevitably resist Wanyan's order to abandon the baggage. Wanyan's Little Army accommodated a large number of Jiangnan tribe troops, but inevitably offended the three Meng'ans in Zhaozhou.

Relying on the large number of people and the support of the commander-in-chief, the foreign army quickly squeezed the Zhaozhou military and civilians who were preparing to cross the bridge to the side. The Zhaozhou army immediately stopped doing it, including their wives, children, and young people. Everyone knew about it.

Lehe will be temporarily safe. Now these foreign troops treat them like this on their territory. After crossing the river, they will not bully them to death. They will immediately return to their faces. For a moment, the chaos in front of the floating bridge was in chaos. The two armies drew their swords to each other.

Confrontation, now it's completely blocked, no one can leave...

At this time, Wanyan Qiying no longer had the energy to take care of these trivial matters. Zhaozhou City, which was burning like a small sun, shone in a radius of several miles as in the daytime. The scene was clear, and it was seen that the torches were clear in the distance, like a giant dragon circling and dancing.

As they were approaching quickly, he immediately realized that the Song army had all been dispatched to intercept him to cross the river, and a war was inevitable.

However, the current situation is not good for the Jin army. They are in a passive state on the way to retreat. The 50,000 Song army marched into a group and advanced. Even if the defenders turn back to fight, they will be quickly crushed by the Song army brigade.

But it just felt that it was so painful that it could not stop the Song army from chasing, and instead caused unnecessary casualties to itself. If a large group of troops were concentrated to fight, it would have no depth and no room for maneuver. Once it was

Failure is to be driven into the river to feed the turtle, and it also loses the original intention of preserving the vitality to defend the capital.

Wanyan Yan knew that if he wanted to have both fish and bear's paw, he could only guard the Daqing Mountains under his feet. This was the only dangerous place they could rely on. But this also made him feel very moved. Perhaps the ancestors of the Jurchens could not bear to see their own.

The descendants were defeated here, which made Wanyan Yanying think that he might be hunted by the Song army because of his leak of whereabouts, so he arranged defensive forces on the sand beam in advance, so he was not in a hurry.

People say 'Thirty years from Hedong, thirty years from Hexi', but Wanyan Yanying experienced such a big change in just ten days. Ten days ago, the Song army occupied this Shaliang to block his army, for the sake of

He was able to seize this sand beam and kill blood, but the Song army defended it so as to avoid being wiped out; but now he is an offensive and defensive position, and he has changed from an attacking side to a defense side, in order not to be completely wiped out

Not guarding this place that once made me feel infinitely sad. I just don’t know if I can stop the Song army from protecting the army.

In order to avoid the lesson of being captured by the Song army by the defeated vanguard last time, Wanyan Yanying reserved a passage in a depression and set up a reckless horse and Lujiao in other places.

Waiting for the obstacles, they were forced to follow the path they had drawn. A large number of rolling wood were piled up on both sides. If the Song army followed, they could push the rolling wood down and kill them and block the gap.

"The Chief Army, the Song Army brigade has approached our rear guard, and the progress is very fast. Will the troops be sent to support him?" Xi Sandantu came over and reported at this time.

"Well, there is no need to send someone to help, so that the defenders can accelerate their advance and quickly pass through Shaliang. Let the Pili Army be prepared. Once the Song Army enters the range, they will immediately open fire, and let them taste our power!" Wanyan Qiying nodded and said,

This time he not only wanted to protect the army, but also made the Song army pay the price.

"Yes, the commander-in-chief!" Xi Sandantu was excited after hearing this. He turned around and waved the flag. The Jin army on the sand beam immediately removed the covered cover, revealing a row of black holes...
