Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 969 Legendary Life 35.0

Although Song Qiyun said it so lightly, those who have led soldiers and fought against the Liao people know that the price to be spent to drive the brave nomadic cavalry back to the grassland is very huge and unimaginable.

Jin Miaomiao said before that the Song brothers had degenerated. Although he used a teasing tone, it is true that the descendants of future generations are not as good as their ancestors.Moreover, it wasn't just the Song family that had degenerated, the Yelu family and Wanyan family were also facing the same situation.

But what King Tong was facing at that time was the ancestors of the Liao people in their heyday. They were the most excellent in every aspect. It is also possible to fight, but compared with the enemy, it is still very difficult. If it is not a deadly fight, the border city will lose more.

Emperor Chongde only left a sentence saying that King Tong will supervise the country and he will not be able to get sick. King Tong can only bite the bullet and shoulder this heavy burden. Sometimes, they can only obey his dispatch and unanimously speak out.After all, if foreigners really invaded Xijing and the dynasty collapsed, let alone internal fighting, they would not even be able to save their own lives or the lives of their family members.

"They think clearly, they are not as confused as the rumors say!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "So, King Tong sent all his elite to the border? If I remember correctly, the Not too many people, not more than one hundred thousand in total."

"Where are there so many? One hundred thousand is an imaginary number. It's nice to say, and it's specially used to bluff people. Those who can really fight are full of money. There are only 80,000 people." Shen Cha sighed, "Besides, these 80,000 people are still We can't send all of them out just in case, so we left 70,000 of the most elite troops to guard the imperial city, and the remaining 10,000 people were divided into three groups and rushed to the border for rescue. Fortunately, King Tong held back The pressure left 40,000 people, plus the Xijing Patrol Battalion, Guard Battalion, and the veterans of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, which added up to almost [-] people, resisting the footsteps of the ancestor and his brother to march into Xijing."

"The battlefield is very tragic?"

"Of course, you have also fought against the Liao people, and you know their strength very well. The fighting power of the ancestors of the Liao people is much higher than that of the current Liao people, and there is no comparison at all." Shen Cha's face was particularly ugly, "The former I know more or less the guards at the frontier gate. They are also very brave, but it is still very difficult to face the tall nomadic cavalry. Even the 70,000 people sent by King Tong , but also with flesh and blood, with his own life to drive the enemy back to where they should have been."

"This battle didn't last long. It took three months from the time when the ancestors of the Liao people attacked until they returned to the northern grasslands. In the confrontation in Jincheng, the two sides have been in a stalemate here for nearly half a month, and they waited until the three batches of reinforcements arrived before launching a counterattack." Shen Haolin glanced at Jin Miaomiao, "Together the defenders and reinforcements, there are almost 100,000 people It's basically equal to the enemy's number."

"When the war is over and the battle damage is counted, King Tong's 70,000 people only have more than 5000 people left, and the defenders..." Shen Cha shook his head lightly, "Less than [-] people."

"It's so tall?" Jin Miaomiao frowned, "This is not right! Did they encounter any accidents? Even if the ancestors of the Liao people were powerful, they couldn't be so powerful, right? How much do they have left?" people?"

"There were less than 100,000 people left out of 5000 people. I heard later that more than [-] people encountered a blizzard on the way back and lost another [-] people."

"That's what they deserve. Who told them to start the war!" Jin Miaomiao rubbed her chin, "It's so strange that the battle damage is so high." She looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, "Don't you think there is something wrong with this?" what is the problem?"

"What Xiaocha said just now is only the number of people killed in battle. Among the living, there are also injured ones!" His Highness King Ning met Jin Miaomiao's shocked gaze and shook his head helplessly. He is a confidant of King Tong, and he brought 3000 people under his command to attack the camp. Not just to assassinate someone, each of these 3000 people carried a small barrel of oil and a small bottle of wine."

"Oil? Wine?" Jin Miaomiao frowned, "Are they going to set the company on fire?"

"Smart!" His Royal Highness King Ning snapped his fingers, "Is it ruthless? It was this surprise attack that reversed the entire situation of the battle. Otherwise, they would not have driven out the ancestors of the Liao people so easily. They were almost burned this time. The seven large camps suffered heavy casualties, almost 30,000 people, and more than half of the food and grass were destroyed in the fire. After the fire, the entire camp was dark, and the bones... piled up like a mountain."

"Where are Tong Wang's people? They ran out?"

"No!" Shen Cha shook his head lightly, "[-] for [-], it's worth it!"

"This fight was even more tragic than I imagined! It's really admirable for a strong man to leave and never return!" Jin Miaomiao rubbed his nose, looked at His Royal Highness King Ning, and then at Song Yaojia and Song Qiyun, "Old ancestor... No, it should be said that the elder brother of King Tong chose to counterattack at this time. It would be strange if he was not criticized by others."

"It's not easy to be criticized by others. This kind of behavior is tantamount to taking advantage of the fire!" His Royal Highness Ning shook his head lightly, "It's too contemptible, and it's no wonder his family's reputation has always been bad, and he even asked to resign and return to Jiangnan. At that time, the ancestors didn't hold back too much."

"The old ancestor must also have knots in his heart."

"This is natural, no one wants to bear such a bad name."
