The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

As a veteran on the battlefield, Zhao Yong didn't know how difficult the withdrawal process was. A careless move could lead to failure and the entire army being annihilated. Therefore, he remained vigilant during the process of returning to the army. When he left Liaoyang City, he learned that there were two gold medals.

military

When he came here, when he withdrew his troops, he ordered to take away all the young and strong people in the city regardless of their origins and the nearly 100,000 Han people who had been captured and came here to surrender. The old and weak were expelled from the city, and those Jurchens who failed to escape when the city was broken

Those noble officials who refused to surrender were all slaughtered.

After hundreds of years of management by successive rulers, Liaoyang City has become an important town in Liaodong. It not only has a large population and a developed economy, but also is a secular cultural center. Monks, scholars, intellectuals, and even businessmen, craftsmen, and craftsmen of all kinds

They will become the spreaders of civilization and the elites of various industries in this city and nearby states and counties. A country can lose many officials, but even if it can be rebuilt after losing these elites, it will be a dead city, and the economy and culture will regress for decades.

Even for a hundred years, this is equivalent to taking away the soul of the city.

This method has led to the death of countless families and the separation of flesh and blood. It seems to be against harmony and even very cruel, but it can greatly reduce the pressure on the troops left behind, so that they do not have to worry about civil strife in the city and can concentrate on fighting the enemy. On the other hand, this is also because of its

A man's way is his own, follow the example of what the Jin army did in Yanjing City, and kidnapped all the population, turning it into an empty city. A city without popularity will inevitably decline in a few years.

Driving such a large population to move thousands of miles away from an enemy country is a problem for anyone. Fortunately, Zhao Yong had similar experiences in the northwest and Datong. He divided the captured population into two parts. The Han people were guarded by the Song army, and the Jurchens and Bohai

The Khitan, Xi people and other ethnic groups were escorted by the troops of the Five Kingdoms, using their sense of national identity to reduce hostility towards the Song army, while also facilitating communication and reducing troubles on the way.

During the retreat, Zhao Yong soon discovered that there was a tail hanging behind him, which was following him silently like a wolf but could not get rid of it. So he retreated in separate teams and marched with alternating cover, strictly defending to prevent enemy surprise attacks.

But a few days later, the enemy troops did nothing but follow them.

Zhao Yong did not know anything about Wu Shu's order to Wanyan Yuying or what they were thinking. But as a veteran who has experienced battles for a long time, he knew very well that such a large population and property were a piece of fat in the eyes of any army.

Will not give up easily.

As the Jin army began to harass frequently, Zhao Yong had a sense of urgency that "the war is coming." Now the marching speed has been reduced again and again. If it continues, they have only two results. One is to be dragged to death in the Jin Kingdom, and the other is to be thrown away.

He had to break through the encirclement to survive. Neither result was what Zhao Yong expected. He had to find a way to teach the enemy troops behind him a profound lesson so that they would not dare to stroke the tiger's beard again. Zhao Yong began to look for fighter opportunities while preparing for this battle.

,

The first is to show weakness to the enemy, so that the Jin army will be defeated. The Song army has been exhausted by the harassment, has low morale, and has lost its morale. Therefore, Zhao Yong asked the defenders to deliberately show their war-weariness, and at the same time selected specific groups of people among the captive population.

They spread rumors, reduced the food supply, and then deliberately relaxed supervision to allow them to escape the Song camp. However, they happened to be discovered and captured by the Jin army again, and the false news was passed to the ears of the Jin army through their mouths.

Furthermore, the way of camping was changed. The advance guard that the Jin army saw marching away from the group actually chose another camp to camp. First, it could divide the huge captive population into two parts, reducing the possibility of riots; second, the two camps were horns of each other.

When attacked by the Jin army, they could support each other and prepare for the coming battle at the same time, so that the captured people would get used to changing camps at night without causing chaos.

The most critical thing is to choose the time and place to start the battle. Zhao Yong controlled the rhythm before the battle while guessing the psychology of the Jin army, which aroused their enthusiasm, whetted their appetite, and made them dare not to fight easily.

Mouth. And he started to make up as a scout before going out to choose

In the battlefield, he finally fell in love with this open land thirty miles outside Kaizhou City. The river valley can hide troops, and the mountain woods are convenient for hiding and getting rid of pursuing troops. The open terrain can give full play to the stone wall charge that the dragoons are good at, and defeat the Jin army.

The pursuing troops, kill them with a 'returning rifle'!

Zhao Yong immediately launched his deployment. He first used several nights to coax the plundered people to move camps in the middle of the night under the pretense that the Jin Army might launch a night attack. In fact, he marched overnight to bring them and their supplies to Kaizhou City in batches. And every day

The size of the camp they built did not decrease, and there were still a lot of vehicles. However, the camp was much rougher, and there were many fewer people in it. This made the Jin army think that the situation was still the same, but that the Song army was more distracted, and they were not even interested in building fortifications.

Do it.

After everything was ready, Zhao Yong threw out the last bait in his hand, attracting the already greedy Jin Army to take the bait, making them think that the time was ripe for an attack, and they couldn't wait to launch a long-planned attack, ready to make a fortune.

, and annihilated the retreating Song Army. The Song Army, which had been prepared for a long time, followed the script given by the commander-in-chief and introduced the Jin Army into the preset battlefield step by step...

Wanyan Yuying led the army to charge three times but was beaten back by the Song army's counterattack. Wanyan Yong and Wan Yanliang's two groups were also unable to break through the copper and iron walls laid by the Song army, let alone break the formation. They had to retreat and regroup.

Together. The artillery fire of the Song Army on the top of the mountain has not stopped, spreading death in the Jin Army's formation with the grim smile of death, and the failure of successive assaults has only aggravated the chaos, causing commotion among the troops.

"Dushuai, let me lead the army and charge again. I don't believe they can stop our cavalry of Daikin!" Wan Yanliang said unconvinced. There were a few burnt holes in his shirt, but he just relied on the inside.

He was not injured because he was wearing heavy armor. The war horse he sat on had already died under the random gunfire of the Song army. He grabbed one from nowhere and rode on it. Death not only did not frighten him, but instead aroused his emotions.

Courageous spirit.

"We can't charge anymore. The enemy's firearms are sharp. Our bows and arrows can't shoot as far as they do. They're not as powerful. We lost most of them before we even started fighting. We can't use our bows and horses to their best advantage at all!" Wanyan Yuying shook his head and said.

I thought too simply, thinking that

The Song Army was completely demoralized and could not organize any resistance at all. They could only let themselves be killed. Unexpectedly, all they saw were illusions. The Song Army's attack had not really started yet, and its own troops had already been damaged three times.

, it doesn’t make much sense to continue fighting.

"Commander, even if we have to retreat, I'm afraid it won't be easy. The Song army obviously still has some room left, and they just want to take advantage of our retreat and kill them later. The artillery of the Song army on the mountain poses the greatest threat to us and blocks our retreat!"

Wan Yanyong knew that it was impossible to retreat unscathed. He looked at the situation and said, "Commanders, you retreat first, and I will lead the army to stop the rear, otherwise we will all die in this!"

'Boom boom...' As the three people were talking, a row of artillery shells fell around them, shrapnel was fired, and screams were heard repeatedly. The frightened horses kicked and ran rampant, causing a chaos, and the flag officer also had half of his head chopped off.

He was shaken and fell off the horse, and the handsome flag fell down.

"Commander, the enemy has discovered your position. I will lead the army to attack the artillery on the mountain. You take the opportunity to break out!" Wanyanyong shot two arrows in a row and killed the frightened horse. He bent down and picked up the commander's flag and raised it again, trying to distract the Song army.

attention.

"No, the defeat in this battle is all because I underestimated the enemy in order to obey the Grand Master's order. You go first and I will stop the rear!" Wanyan Yunying pulled Wanyan Yong's horse's head and said, although the ambush was caused by two people instigating her.

Therefore, as the coach, he should take responsibility for his failure to deal with it calmly, and the two did not retreat at the critical moment, but rushed forward, which made him very touched. If they were harmed, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"You don't have to fight anymore, I'll be the one to settle the matter..." Wan Yanliang also stepped forward.

"Wait a minute, the enemy's artillery fire has weakened!" During the dispute, Wanyan Yuying suddenly realized that the Song army's artillery fire had stopped, and the sound of horns could be faintly heard from the other side of the mountain.

"Commander, that's the trumpet sound of our army. It must be Li Cheng who has come to meet us!" Wan Yanliang listened carefully and said with great joy.

"Okay, let's break through the encirclement immediately!" Wanyan Yuying was also overjoyed. He knew that the Song Army would soon find out that the situation had changed and launch a general attack. They could only take advantage of this short gap to break out.

‘Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,w, oo, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo close..."

"The Jin army retreated and then killed them, but don't be greedy for credit. If you encounter resistance, go back!" Zhao Yong quickly understood that a large group of Jin army appeared behind the mountain, and the troops of the Five Kingdoms and the Leopard Generals who were guarding there had to turn around and defend.

, be careful to prevent the two armies from joining together, but the Jin army in front of you has already

Taking the opportunity to break out, he immediately issued the order for a general attack. However, he knew that although he had won, he was not completely out of danger. Moreover, the combat goal had been achieved, and there was no need to take risks anymore. As soon as the general order was issued, all armies moved together, and then

A pursuit was launched.

Wanyan Yuying led the army to break off the rear, and fought and fled, but in the end it was difficult to defeat the Song army, and gradually the entire army was defeated. He ran ten miles non-stop and met Li Cheng's troops who came to meet up. Only then did they stabilize their position and form a formation. The Song army did not

They launched another attack, but formed a formation and retreated. The Jin army did not dare to pursue them again, and the battle came to an end.

However, neither of the two warring parties realized that their battle had disrupted the chess game carefully planned by the leaders of the two countries, and they had to rearrange the layout. After reading the battle report, Zhao Tao in Bianjing couldn't help but screamed that he regretted it. If he had

On the verge of battle, all supplies and people will be lost.

He was afraid that he would kill Wan Yanliang and Wan Yanyong even if he abandoned Liaoyang City. Others didn't know it, but as a later person, he knew that these two people were the fourth and fifth people in the Jin Kingdom in history who had not been tampered with by him.

Emperor, but now that the opportunity has been lost, I can only sigh and feel helpless... (To be continued...)
