The three hundred and eleventh chapter is therefore a mystery
The trio of young men from Dajin can be said to be the best among the third generation of the Jin Kingdom, but they have a common problem among teenagers - too much enthusiasm and too little experience.
The eldest among the three is Wanyan Yuying. He went to war with his father at the age of sixteen and accumulated some experience. He also followed Wushu for a few years. It is said that he has a lot of experience and qualifications, but in the eyes of veterans, he is still too young, because
He lacks the experience of leading a battle alone, and lacks strategic vision. Let alone the other two, they are both junior brothers who are fighting for the first time, and they still need to be trained well before they can become steel.
Of course Wu Shu knew the situation of the three of them. He sent them to the front line for the purpose of training young people, and made appropriate arrangements for them to learn some military knowledge and the experience of leading alone. The danger of this mission was also
It's not big. The Song army, carrying a large number of people and plundered materials, marching in the hinterland of a foreign country that has not been completely conquered is not enough to protect itself. Under normal circumstances, it will not take the initiative to attack. It is just suitable for young people to have a long experience.
But Wu Shu forgot the old saying that "when three people become tigers, there are many things that can happen", especially for young people who are new to the world. They have nothing to do and want to find something to do. What's more, two of the three people have nothing in common with Song Jun.
Dai Tian's revenge. Wanyan Yuying, who was leading the army, had his battle plan rejected. He already thought that the Taishi's actions were "cowardly", but he was provoked by the other two and threw Wu Shu's words behind him...
After all, Wanyan Yuying was several years older than the two Wanyan Liang brothers. He did not listen to their words and launch an attack immediately. Instead, he continued to follow, but there were a few extra tricks. During the day, he sent a small group of soldiers to use hit-and-run tactics to harass Song.
the rear of the army,
On the flank, they sent troops around the Song Army camp at night to create noise so that they could not sleep peacefully. However, the Song Army was worried that they would fall into the Jin Army's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so they could only fight back and expel the trouble on the spot. They even defended passively at night. They did not dare to step out of the defense.
Circle a step.
Wanyan Yuying's purpose of doing this is very clear. The Song army has a large number of civilians who are far superior to the Song army. They are not as well-trained and disciplined as soldiers. The constant harassment makes their panic deepen, as if
A frightened bird is like a bird. Just choose the right time for the next step.
If a machine launches an attack, they will inevitably be in chaos due to fear, and bombing a camp has been a terrible thing since ancient times. It can destroy an invincible army into a rout in an instant, and then there will be an opportunity for itself to take advantage of.
Take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack, engage in melee with the enemy and use your strengths to annihilate them all.
As the Jin army's harassment continued to increase, the Song army's marching speed slowed down significantly. They could not walk thirty miles a day and became more and more nervous. Especially at night, they fired randomly when they heard any noise, which made them exhausted.
Unbearable. People are in panic. Due to the turmoil in the army, the supervision of the captured population has become increasingly lax. Many people took the opportunity to escape from the control of the Song Army. The Jin Army's rangers have captured many escapees in the past few days and learned a lot from them.
information.
What interests Wanyan Yuying and others the most is that rumors have begun to spread among the Song army that the Jurchens have gathered 100,000 troops in Kaizhou and are preparing to attack them from both sides to annihilate them. What they are more worried about is that the weather is getting warmer, the ice is melting, and their own
The way back was cut off, and there would be no way to escape. Some soldiers even stole military property and were ready to escape. Now they have no intention of fighting. They just want to withdraw to Goryeo and go home as soon as possible.
In addition, when the Song army withdrew, most of the food and grass were left to the defenders of Liaoyang City, and they only brought what they needed on the road. Now because the return journey is blocked, the march is slow. The food supply is becoming increasingly tight, and the troops of the Five Kingdoms and the Song army are constantly fighting for
What is the matter of allocating food and grass?
There were quarrels every day, and the plundered people could only get half a liter of rice every day, which was barely enough to survive without starving to death. They were also worried that their lives would be lost if they were surrounded, so out of extreme fear, they would attack at the slightest sign of trouble.
Can cause chaos.
The words of the fleeing people were quickly confirmed in the following days. The Song Army's rearguard was no longer as neat as it was at the beginning. It was no longer resolute when encountering resistance from the Jin Army. After fighting for a while, it quickly retreated; more and more people escaped at night.
, it can be said that they gathered in groups. They even found that there were people around the camp.
The military uniforms discarded by the Song Army showed that the soldiers of the Song Army also joined the ranks of the escape; the camps where the Song Army evacuated were also in a mess, with grass roots and tree bark stripped and dug out, and the only thing left in the camp was often a grave.
The Song army's lack of food was not groundless. A large number of people had died of cold and starvation.
Seeing that the Song army was halfway through its return journey and was less than two days away from leaving the state, the Song army, which was eager to return, was already exhausted under the harassment of the Jin soldiers. The vanguard marched on its own, leaving the huge central army far away.
, and the defender is even more useless.
There was no longer the rigor and strictness of the day, scouts were no longer sent, and battles often collapsed at the first touch. It was only the resistance of the marshal's personal guards that prevented the formation from collapsing. Wanyan Yuying felt that the time was getting ripe, and they had finally waited for the moment of decisive battle...
On this day, the Jin army prepared food at Yinshi, and gathered together at Maoshi to set off quietly, leaving Li Cheng to lead the army to support them. At this time, the Song army was dismantling the camp and gathering men and horses to prepare for departure. It was the time when the preparations were at their most relaxed and chaotic.
When the Jin army was 300 steps away from the camp, they mounted their horses and launched an assault. When the Song army discovered that the enemy was already close at hand, there was a chaos in the camp. The captured people took the opportunity to escape and overran the gathering Song army.
Eight falls.
Seeing that the Jin Army was about to rush into the camp, the Song Army reluctantly organized a team to use the earthen barriers to launch a blockade, temporarily blocking the first wave of the Jin Army's attack. The Song Army group took advantage of this short opportunity to leave the camp and escape south. In the Jin Army
Under the continuous attack of the Song army, the Song army's defensive troops quickly supported
Unable to hold on, they all abandoned their positions and fled. Wanyan Yuying led the troops into the camp, and found that in panic, the Song army could not even take away all the property they had stolen from Liaoyang City. Hundreds of carts full of boxes and cages were lying in a mess on the road.
Flags and armor were scattered all over the ground.
"My sons, hunt down the Song army and avenge the shame!" Wanyan Yuying shouted loudly, leading the army to pursue them first. There is no need for a guide now. The weapons and equipment discarded by the Song army are the best road signs. They just follow and catch up.
That's it. Although the Song army organized several interceptions along the way, they were defeated like a mountain.
, it was impossible to withstand the impact of the Jin army's troops. After resisting for a while, they fled in all directions. They were completely defeated, so that the Jin army had to be divided into several teams to intercept and pursue them. Wanyan Yuying and two royal young generals led more than 10,000 cavalry along the road.
Chasing the Song Army brigade, vowing to chop off Zhao Yong's head...
'Boom, boom' Wanyan Yuying led his army to chase the defeated army into a rolling hilly area. In front of a dry river was an open area. The panicked Song troops abandoned their horses and went up the mountain into the woods. He hurriedly divided his troops to intercept them.
, but right now
At this time, thunderbolts fell from the sky, and after two cannons were fired, countless Song Army cavalry suddenly emerged from the river. They lined up in neat formations, with the handsome flag fluttering in the wind embroidered with a big word "Zhao".
It was Zhao Yong, the Song Army commander they were looking for.
At the same time, the Song troops who had just been fleeing returned from both wings. Flags were flying all over the mountains. Song troops poured out of the forest one after another. The most conspicuous ones were dozens of cannons with their muzzles raised high. The soldiers were all in high spirits and wore armor.
Bright and dazzling, which
There was a hint of a scene after the great defeat, and the flag of the Chinese army was waving, and the artillery positions on the mountain were flashing with fire. Amidst the loud noise, the artillery shells roared and fell into the Jin army that was galloping on horseback, causing a bloody storm and blocking the way.
their retreat.
"Fell into a trap!" Wanyan Yuying couldn't help but panic when she saw this. She looked at the two people on the left and right who were a little dumbfounded at the moment, and they still didn't understand.
"Stop the pursuit, line up to meet the enemy!" Wanyan Yuying hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted loudly. The soldiers following him blew the horn after the order, and the Jin army returned to their horses and gathered from all directions to gather under the commander's banner.
"You are all handsome, what should I do?" Wan Yanliang asked anxiously in front of Wan Yan Yuying's horse. Even a fool could tell that the Song army had laid out an ambush and was waiting for them. The sudden situation of the battle made him a little panicked when he entered the battle for the first time.
"We have fallen into a trap. The Song Army is so cunning and has repeatedly used tricks to deceive us!" Wanyan Yongti came over and said angrily.
"Wulu, I will lead the army to block the Song army. You protect Digunai and lead the army to break out, and join the front army Li Cheng's troops to meet me!" Wanyan Yuying now understood the meaning of the Taishi's order, and secretly regretted being fooled by the various illusions put out by the Song army.
Confused, he was still too young. But at this point, he could only fight, but he knew that these two people must not make mistakes, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the Grand Master and the Emperor even if he died.
"Da Lan, what are you going to do? We won't leave and we will face the enemy with you!" Wan Yanliang shook his head and said firmly. His status as a royal family and the bloody nature of the Jurchens made it difficult for him to abandon his brothers and survive alone.
"Don't say any more. This is my fault, commander. Break out!" Wanyan Yuying saw that all the Song troops had rushed out of the river valley, forming a neat and tight formation and slowly accelerating, preparing to launch a charge. He knew that time was running out.
If there are too many, let the two break through again.
"You are handsome, Jurchen men are born to die in battle. If we abandon you today, I am afraid we will not be able to live in this world. Let us fight the enemy together today and take the enemy's chief's head!" Wanyan Yong also refused to break out of the encirclement alone.
.
"Okay, let us brothers fight the enemy together!" Wanyan Yuying sighed, "The Song army used the stone wall formation. This formation came one after another, with great impact. I will lead the front army to break the formation, you two
The people will follow, and we will go straight to the central army, try to kill the enemy general, and break through the formation to break out to the south!"
"I obey your commander's orders!" Wan Yanyong and Wan Yanliang both saluted on horseback. They had calmed down from the initial panic. Experiencing this battle for the first time on the battlefield made their blood boil.
"Attack!" Wanyan Yuying waved his command flag, and two thousand cavalry rushed out to rush towards the rolling Song army. The two armies collided, but were overwhelmed in an instant. They were trapped in the formation, struggling hard, and were soon overwhelmed.
