Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 243
Looking at the map, Wang Xiao said: "If the Jin army wants to escape, there is no other way. They can only go to Fuzhou, Hanyang army, and cross the river from Ezhou or Huangzhou. After entering Lianghuai, there will be no army to stop them. It's just this way , and it’s not easy to go.”

Xie Qian said: "Since there is only one way, let's arrange soldiers and horses in advance to stop them."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Zhijun, how easy is it to stop the Jin army? In Jingmen, we can do it with more than [-] people. How many troops do we need in other places? In my opinion, it is better to stop the main force of the Jin army. "

Xie Qian said: "Just keep the Han River so that the Jin army can't cross the river."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The Han River is hundreds of miles away, and it can be crossed everywhere. How can it be defended? After Jingmen, the Jin people can cross the Qianjiang River. The water there is gentle, and it is really difficult to defend. We still have to find a way to catch the Jin army. It is too difficult to completely wipe out the main force."

Xie Qian looked at Wang Xiaolie.After a while, he said: "Do you not want to completely wipe out the Jin army for defense?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head and didn't speak for a while.Seeing everyone looking at me with strange eyes, he said: "Don't think about it! Of course I want to wipe out the Jin army, but I can't do it. If I run for my life, the Jin army is all cavalry and they are very fast. I have a rank of more than 2 Tail pursuit, when will we catch up? There are more than [-] people, what to eat on the road? Are they robbing the people?"

Xie Qian said: "When the army goes out, the local government will naturally supply the army food! If the local government can't supply it, the chief officer will be punished!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "On the way, Fuzhou still has magistrates. What about other places? Last year, the Jin army crossed the river from Huangzhou, burning, killing and looting all the way, and the localities were severely damaged. When there is no harvest, where will there be food?"

Seeing that Qian was still reluctant, Wang Xiaolie said: "Zhijun, the two armies are fighting, and it is normal to want to win a complete victory. But in reality, it is really difficult to achieve. If the Jin army wants to flee, abandon their luggage, and within a few days, they will be defeated." We can go to Huangzhou, how can we catch up? In normal times, there are defenders everywhere, and there are rations in the local area. We will chase after us, and the Jin army will not be able to escape. But now is not a normal time. Is there any city along the way? Can it block the way of the Jin army? Without the cooperation of other troops, how can we keep the Jin army?"

Xie Qian thought about it, and felt that what Wang Xiaolie said made sense.But how can you be reconciled to being calmly retreated by the Jin army when the battle has come to this?Looking at the map there, frowning and not speaking.

Chen Yuyi watched coldly, but he could tell that Wang Xiaolie did not intend to wipe out the Jin army.I really want to wipe them all out, no matter how difficult it is, Wang Xiaolie can use various methods to prevent the Jin army from running so fast.As long as a small number of troops hold back the Jin army, the army behind will keep up.

Several people discussed and discussed, and finally decided that if the Jin army continued to attack tomorrow, the Song army would wait for an opportunity to counterattack.If you can defeat the Jin army, use Niu Gao's cavalry to bite the Jin army's luggage, especially the porters of the rear team.The main force of the Jin army fled, and all its supplies must be left behind.

Sent away to understand the potential, and returned to the handsome account.Niu Gao couldn't help it, and said: "Defense, if the Jin army escapes, I should be able to catch up with the Jin army with light cavalry. If I use Qingqi to harass them, the army will follow, and it may not be impossible to wipe out the Jin army!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Where can you hold the Jin army? I counted and counted, and I will go to Fuzhou the soonest. Not to mention the problem of food and grass when the army arrives in Fuzhou. It is Fuzhou that can supply it." , it will be very difficult. Not to mention, once the Jin army enters the Hanyang army, it will be a big problem. After all, I am a grass-headed general. Many things— —”

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie shook his head.

A warlord is a warlord, Wang Xiaolie did not say this.Even if he has the name of the imperial court and his own territory, he is still a warlord.Once the warlord's troops leave the territory too far, there will be many accidents.What should I do if I really chase the Jin army to the Hanyang army, or even to Ezhou, the imperial court has a decree, and I want to mobilize myself to other places?What if a minister wants his army to separate?Agree, the army is split.To disagree is to disobey the court.Even though the imperial court doesn't treat him well now, the impression remains.

At the beginning of the year to aid Shanzhou, nearly ten thousand troops were left behind in Shaanxi. What can Wang Xiaolie say?Li Yanxian's strength is not strong, and he is also loyal, so Wang Xiaolie is not very worried.If any more troops are left in Hubei, Wang Xiaolie is not at ease.

Chen Yuyi guessed what Wang Xiaoli was thinking, and didn't say anything more.At this time, the army is the foundation of the warlord.With the lessons from Shanzhou, no matter how selfless Wang Xiaolie is, he will never let the army leave his control.

In the tent of the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army, Ba Lisu, Wanyan Goying and Yeluma sat around drinking.

Wanyan Yuying said: "I don't believe the Song army is so strong! Tomorrow I will take three thousand kidnappers and go further east to pinch the Song army's flanks! Just break the Song army's formation and see how they guard Jingmen!"

Ba Lisu sighed: "Nephew, have you ever thought about what if you are still invincible?"

Wanyan Yuying was taken aback.I really haven't thought about this question myself.Is there an undefeated Song army in this world?
Ba Lisu said: "We have just crossed the river, and we are still far away from the Central Plains. Going deep into the Song Dynasty, once the battle goes wrong, it will be very dangerous! Two days of continuous attack, we lost more than 3000 people. If we attack again tomorrow, how can there be so many troops!"

Wanyan Yuying felt a little dizzy.Said: "Listen to the words of the king, do you want to withdraw?"

Ba Lisu nodded: "We have to withdraw. We don't have enough capital and geographical disadvantages, so we can't continue to fight with the Song Army. If we withdraw from here and take other roads, no one can stop us. If we continue to fight here, I'm afraid-" —”

Having said that, Ba Lisu shook his head helplessly.As the commander-in-chief, Ba Lisu had to make this decision for the sake of the entire army.But as a Titan, he really didn't want to make this decision.

The Jin army had a total of 3000 people, and more than 2000 people died in two days. How can this battle continue?Not to mention, after losing for two days in a row, the morale of the army has dropped significantly.One or two thousand people died a day, and after two days of fighting, Balisulian's attacking army could not be assembled.

After two days of fighting, the Jin army has been defeated.Wang Xiaolie could see this, and so could Ba Lisu.If they don't retreat in time, the 1 people who pulled out of the speed will all be in front of Jingmen City.

Yeluma said five times: "If we want to retreat, where should we retreat?"

Ba Lisu said: "Actually, there is only one way left. It is to go to Fuzhou, go to Hanyang Army, and cross the river from Huangzhou. When I arrive at Lianghuai, no one can stop me!"

Yeluma said five times: "The Song army is guarding the Jingmen army, so let's bypass it. If you go east to Yingzhou, you can also go north."

Ba Lisu sighed: "Can't you see it? It is the observation of the king of Dengzhou who is blocking us. If we go to the territory under his rule, it will be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth! Not only Yingzhou can't leave, even Guangzhou can't leave." Let’s go! Needless to say, we will send troops to take Fuzhou tomorrow, and we will support one more day under Jingmen City. By tomorrow night, the army will go east!”

Wanyan Yuying and Yelvma had already decided to go away at five sights, so they had no choice but to say yes.

Silent for a while, Yeluma said five times: "Our army is about to withdraw, and the Song army will definitely come to chase after it. The cavalry is fine, but the Song army can't catch up. My rear army, but there are still nearly [-] southern porters, and they can't move fast. .”

Ba Lisu said: "You take the guards to cover our retreat. When the matter is urgent, let these porters stop the Song army, and you can escape by yourself."

Hearing this, Yeluma frowned.That is to say, if Jin Jun cut off his tail to survive, is he a broken tail?

Seeing that Yeluma was displeased, he pulled away quickly and said: "When the matter is urgent, we have to don't take the looted goods. We don't want all the goods. What's the use of those porters? You just drive them forward to block the Song army. Even if there are [-] pigs, the Song army will have to catch them for two days. With these two days, you can escape as far as possible."

Wanyan Yuying said: "We crossed the river and fought in dozens of states, and those goods were snatched with all our might. I don't know how many sons and daughters are expecting to bring the goods home. Parents, wives and children are happy. How can they be willing to give up all at once? !"

Ba Lisu said: "If you have money, you have to spend your life! Now the situation is like this, we can't escape if we don't abandon our wealth, what can we do?"

Wanyan Yuying didn't believe that the Song army could stop her, so she didn't agree to retreat in the first place.Hearing that the stolen wealth is going to be thrown away, how can he bear it?The Jin army had no military salary, and they were fighting for life and death, so they counted on robbing wealth and returning home.Wouldn't it be ridiculed if there was nothing to bring back?

Wanyan Gouying was Ba Lisu's nephew, and after saying a few words, she didn't bother to talk to him, and just arranged the retreat route.Decided to go ahead with Wanyan Yuying and the elite cavalry to take Fuzhou.Yeluma Wu was behind, and the Song army came to chase, so he drove the porters forward, and fled quickly with his elite cavalry.As long as Song Jun is held back for a day, there will be enough time to escape.
