Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 477 Expecting the enemy to take the lead
Meng Xuanyu personally led 1000 people to press on, and all the elite troops who could fight were studs.

On the river beach, there were Shu troops everywhere, with a large number of people, fighting to shake the sky.

The terrain here is not spacious, crowded with soldiers, war horses, and dead bodies, with the surging Jialing River behind.

Taking advantage of their superior numbers, the Shu army had divided and surrounded the remaining Song army remnants.

"Your Highness has joined the battle, brothers, kill all these Song soldiers, and our Shu Kingdom will be saved."

"Kill them all, defeat the Song army, and Dashu will be safe!"

Luo Qijun, Lv Han, Song Dewei, Wang Keliao and others all fought bravely with their soldiers. The Song army on the south bank became less and less, and in the end there were only a few hundred people left. Some surrendered, and some fought to the death.

Taking advantage of the terrain advantage, the Shu army attacked it halfway across, annihilating part of the Song army on the south bank, and succeeded in ambush.

On the north bank, Wang Quanbin looked at the situation from a distance, his body trembling with anger, and his eyes were full of anger.

The four to five thousand elite Song troops were all brave and skilled Bianjing Forbidden Army, so they were lost here.

Every soldier is a warrior, who fought in the north and south, but died in this land full of mountains and rivers. He died in a foreign land and became a ghost.

"General Wang, let the reinforcements crossing the river withdraw. If we continue to fight, we will lose even more. Our army is not good at water warfare. It is too difficult to forcibly cross the river and land."

Youdu Marquis Yu and General Pi stepped forward to persuade them to retreat.

Wang Quanbin nodded slightly, he naturally saw the occupation clearly and clearly, and he also knew that today's affairs must not be done, so he ordered: "Golden Luo withdraws troops!"

"Order!"

Soon, the golden gong sounded, causing the Song army on the rafts and boats to retreat from the river and no longer cross the river to fight.

The Song army did not retreat from the north bank for the time being, but set up camp, forming a confrontational situation.

On the south bank of the Jialing River, the Shu army still cleared the battlefield.

The blood stained the surface of the river red, and the dead bodies were floating, and they were salvaged by the navy of the Shu army.

On the river beach, some soldiers also began to distinguish the corpses, separating the corpses of Song soldiers and Shu soldiers.

Meng Xuanyu found Su Chen, saw the blood on his body, whether it was the enemy's blood or his wound bleeding, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and asked with concern: "Are you hurt?"

"Fortunately, I'm fine, these are bloodstains sprayed by the enemy." Su Chen explained.

Only then did Meng Xuanyu feel relieved, but emotionally, he hugged Su Chen's body, choked up and said, "We... succeeded."

Su Chen's body froze and he let the second prince hug him. He also knew that the second prince Meng Xuanyu shouldered too many responsibilities and burdens these days.

If this place cannot be defended, the entire army is likely to be wiped out here. In the next step, both Jianmen Pass and Jiameng Pass will be lost.

At that time, the Kingdom of Shu will really be over.

This battle had a far-reaching impact. It can be said that it determined the survival of Shu.

Fortunately, he and Su Chen led troops to ambush the Song army here, achieved the initial strategic goal, and regained the initiative.

The Song army suffered heavy losses here. This road was impassable, and a large number of troops were lost. As for the outside of Jiameng pass, there will also be losses, and the attack on Xiaomantian pass will also be damaged.

At that time, the three routes will be damaged, which will affect the morale of the Song army and weaken the troops, so it will be difficult for the Song army to continue to attack.

Unless Song Jun continues to send troops over.

Su Chen said to the second prince: "Your Highness, let someone put the corpses of the soldiers of the Song Army on the raft, stack them together, and send them back."

"Oh, why?" Meng Xuanyu was a little puzzled.

Su Chen explained: "As the saying goes, a proud soldier must be defeated, and a mournful soldier must win! I am worried that the Shu army will vent their hatred and humiliate the corpses of the soldiers of the Song army, which will instead arouse even greater hatred and fighting spirit in the Song army on the opposite side. It is also a very dangerous thing to break the boat and kill the red eye. Sending the body back will show the respect and integrity of our Shu Kingdom, and disintegrate the hatred and anger in the Song Army, which will benefit us."

"Oh, clever!" Meng Xuanyu sighed, she was completely convinced by Su Chen.

At this time, they were all overjoyed to celebrate and cheer, but he was still able to analyze calmly, think wisely, and arrange strategies accordingly.

After salvage in the afternoon, thousands of Song soldiers were superimposed on the raft and sent to the opposite bank.

On the north bank, many Song soldiers found out about this and stood spontaneously on the bank, watching piles of corpses crossing the river to the bank.

Some soldiers of the Song Army, with tears in their eyes, began to search for the bodies of their fathers, brothers and comrades-in-arms.

They are all from the Bianjing area, and they are all from the Central Plains.

Many soldiers, after finding the bodies of their comrades-in-arms and father and brother, wept loudly, venting their depression and anger.

Sometimes, once crying out, the emotions of great grief and anger can be relieved.

Hearing the crying, Wang Quanbin walked out of the camp and out of the gate. Seeing this scene, he frowned and looked towards the south bank, thinking that there were some masters in the camp of the Shu army on the other bank!
He was still thinking, taking advantage of the mood of the mourning soldiers, looking for an opportunity to smuggle 2000 people from the upper reaches, and attacking the camp of the Shu army at night, the absolute death squad, might be able to receive miraculous results.

Then the Song army smuggled across the front, and there was another fight. Many Song army soldiers, with anger and hatred, might be able to double their explosive power and combat power, tearing down the 2-person defense line on the south bank.

But now, when he saw this scene, his heart was shaken.

"Find the opposite side, who is leading the army?"

The Metropolitan Wang Renzhan replied: "It has been found out that it seems to be the second prince of the Shu Kingdom, Meng Xuanyu. Since he led the troops, Jiameng Pass blocked our army's advance, and predicted in advance our army's plan to bypass and cross the river. , ambushing here, every move is ahead of us, if it's not that the Second Highness has military talent, or there are capable people around him to help!"

At this moment, spies galloped over on horseback, bringing the latest information.

After Wang Quanbin took over, he saw Cui Yanjin and Zhang Wanyou passers-by, and the attack on Xiaomantianzhai was also frustrated.

The Shu army seemed to have prepared in advance, and their strength had more than doubled. They held on to the city and fought fiercely for a day, but still failed to capture it.

Wang Quanbin connected these two incidents and concluded that his opponent had completely guessed his military intentions. He sighed a little puzzled: "There shouldn't be any capable people in the Kingdom of Shu? Could it be that the second prince is really surprised?" The talent of the world, can be proficient in the art of war and strategy, and can predict whether the enemy will take the lead?!"
