Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 245 A Great Victory
The bright moon rises high, and the only remaining main cavalry in the Qi army is pulled out from the speed point. The horse picks up the luan bell, and the soldiers get out of the barracks.

Yelu Ma Wu sent out of the camp, watching Ba Li leave quickly, he didn't know what it was like.Since surrendering to the Jin Dynasty, Yelu Mawu didn't know how much credit he had made, and he didn't expect it to be like this today.

Niu Gao had already finished ordering, and sent scouts to monitor Jinying.After getting the news, I walked around there, unable to make up my mind.Niu Gao was not reconciled to letting the Jin army withdraw like this.But Wang Xiaolie made it clear, leave the Jin army's supplies and don't care about the main force.

After thinking for a long time, Niu Gao said decisively: "The meaning of defense is that you don't have to chase the Jin army for a long time, leaving behind its baggage. The Jin army just withdrew from the Jin camp, so it's better to chase and kill them for a while. It's the Jin army's blessing to keep them alive." .Keep it, they are unlucky!"

After finishing speaking, he left [-] cavalrymen to monitor Jinying, and led [-] cavalrymen to chase Balisu.

It was the weather in early April, a first-quarter moon hung in the sky, vaguely reflecting the road.All kinds of flowers bloomed on both sides of the road, mixed with dew, exuding a strange fragrance.In the nearby pond, from time to time water birds were awakened by the horseshoes and flew up screaming.

Wang Xiaolie got the report of Niu Gao's departure in the commander's tent, and couldn't help shaking his head.Having said so much, Niu Gao still couldn't bear it, and wanted to chase after the main force of the Jin army.There is no need to stop this kind of thing, as long as you come back in time.

Calling all the generals, Wang Xiao said: "The Jin army has abandoned the camp and fled, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses, and there are still porters in the camp. We don't have to wait any longer, and take advantage of the night to enter the Jin camp. Remember the distinction between soldiers and soldiers." Come on, form a team of 50 people and fight each other. Also, the porters are the people of our Song Dynasty, so don’t make things difficult for them. As long as they don’t participate in the battle, they must save their lives.”

All the generals said yes.

Wang Xiao ordered Xue Cheng and Ma Chengzhong to lead their two units of 6000 men as the main force, Niu Gao's infantry covered them, and the cavalry chased and fled to the Jinying.

Yelv Mawu was drinking in the camp when he heard shouts.Heart said: "Sure enough!"

He went out of the tent and called his generals, and said to them: "Your Majesty has left with the main force, and now there are only more than 1000 of us left. You have seen in the past few days that nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses are no opponents of the Song Army. How can we defend?" Can you survive? Go back to the main camp to assemble your troops, and we will leave now when the main force of the Song army has not been killed. The porters in the camp can still hold back the Song army for a while."

A general said: "The looted property is all in the porter's camp. Why don't we go and pack a few things, and we have something to say when we go home."

Yeluma Wu scolded: "It's a blessing to be able to go back alive, money and silk are things outside of the body! Needless to say, go back and gather your troops!"

The general refused to accept it, and said loudly: "What a waste of a life! Without money, wouldn't it be more uncomfortable than dying!"

Yeluma looked at the rest of the people, and they all had the same intention.He couldn't help cursing loudly: "You don't give up your money even if you die, you are all monsters! Needless to say, gather your troops and prepare to flee for your life! This is a military order, and anyone who doesn't obey will be executed!"

Several generals had no choice but to curse and return to the barracks to assemble the army.

Xue Cheng took his men and touched the Jinjun barracks in the dark, and saw that it was empty everywhere, not even the sentry.Just as he was hesitating, two cavalrymen came over, crossed their hands and said, "The Jin army has already fled to the east, and there are only porters left in the camp! I am here to monitor the Jin army under the order of the Niu Commander, and I can see clearly! An hour The main force of the former Jin army fled, and half an hour ago, the remaining Jin army also ran away!"

Xue Cheng scolded: "These golden captives have fast legs! No one is stubborn!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered his subordinates to enter the gold camp.As long as you don't meet Jin Jun, you are not allowed to kill, and treat the porter properly.All the money in the military camp is not allowed to be robbed privately, and it is dealt with uniformly.After speaking, the torch was lit.

After chasing for thirty miles, the Jin army stopped temporarily, counted the troops there, and took a rest.Niu Gao, who was chasing behind, was overjoyed when he saw him, and ordered his subordinates to wrap their left arms in white cloth, divide into teams of 50 people, and rush straight to the Jin army.

When the Jin army was approaching, the Song army shot arrows together and kept wandering.Seeing an opportunity, he stepped forward to fight.

When marching, the Jin army did not have heavy armor, and the Song army had strong bows. For a while, there were screams again and again.

Ba Lisu's expression changed drastically.Said: "Not good, the Song army is coming! If they are entangled here, the Song army will arrive tomorrow morning, and I am afraid there will be no way to retreat! The Han River is more than [-] miles ahead, and it is only after passing the Han River." Safety!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly divided his troops into two parts, leaving 1000 people to block the Song army, and took the rest to escape.

The Jin army originally had 1000 people, but more than 1000 people were reduced from the front line of Jingmen City, and 1000 people were distributed to Yeluma Wu, 4000 people were taken away by Wanyan Yuying, and now another [-] people are left. people.

After getting on the horse, he pulled off the belt and watched the scene of constant fighting in the night, he couldn't help sighing.Last year when I crossed the river, I was in high spirits. I don't know how many Song troops I killed and how many cities I took, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the end.At this time, if you go deep into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty and lose once, the whole army will be wiped out if you are not careful.It is said that there is no strong enemy ahead, but in fact it is still full of dangers.

Seeing that the main force of the Jin army had fled, Niu Gao asked a small number of cavalry to entangle the remaining Jin soldiers, and chased him for several miles.Seeing that the army that pulled out of the speed had been in order, they retreated again.The remaining one thousand gold troops were all wiped out by Niu Gao's troops.

Assemble the troops, Niu Gao led the team back

At this time, the rice has found its height, the surrounding frogs are constantly singing, and a slanting moon hangs high above the head.The moonlight is like water, pouring down, and there are shifting lights and shadows on the road.You can't see the color of the flowers around you, but you can smell the fragrance of the flowers.

Annihilating thousands of Jin soldiers, looting their horses, and taking away their weapons and armor, Niu Gao was excited.The last time he rescued Shanzhou, Niu Gao was the defender, so he didn't fight a big battle.This time against the Jinren, he finally became the main force and made successive military exploits.

At this time, in Wang Xiaohun's army, the real generals were Shao Ling and Niu Gao, Cao Zhiyan was slightly inferior, and Yu Huan gradually stopped fighting without troops.The lower level of control gradually grew up, such as Wei Sheng, Zhong Ci, Xue Cheng, Ma Chengzhong and others, and began to form a talent echelon.Zhang Jun was young, and he had never really led an army to fight. He became a special talent and went to the guerrilla zone.

At this time, the pressure on the general is very high.If there is no military merit and no performance on the battlefield, it is likely to be replaced by someone who rises up.This kind of thing doesn't need Wang Xiaolie to be partial, everyone can see it.

Thinking of these things, Niu Gao looked at the moon in the sky and heaved a sigh of relief.In this battle of Jingmen, my ability has been verified, and I don't need to be as anxious as I was a few days ago.As a general, military merit comes first.

When I returned to Jinying, I saw that the lights were brightly lit, and it had been occupied by the Song army.

In the commander's tent, Wang Xiaolie flipped through the military documents left by the Jin army.Below, Yelv Ma Wu stood with his head bowed.

Niu Gao entered the commander's tent and sang promises to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiaolie raised his head and looked at Niu Gao.He smiled and said: "Have you caught up with the speed? How is the result?"

Niu Gao said: "Go back to the defense and catch up. The speed of pulling away is too treacherous, leaving a thousand cavalry behind, and leading the main force to escape."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Ba Lisu is a veteran general. After countless battles, it's good to be able to catch up. In this battle, we wiped out about 5000 Jin soldiers, took all their supplies, and captured a general. It's a big win."

Niu Gao looked at Yelu Mawu beside him, and wondered: "Before the army came to attack, Yelu Mawu should have led his troops to flee, why was he arrested?"

Wang Xiao said: "You left a thousand cavalry, and when you saw Yelu Mawu fleeing from the camp, he was entangled three miles away. Soon the army surrounded him, and he saw that there was no way out, so he surrendered naturally. Hey, the Jin army committed crimes in the South For many years, this is the highest general captured, right?"

Niu Gao nodded, turned around and looked at Yelv Mawu, looking him up and down.Yelv Mawu was tall, slightly obese, with a fierce look on his face.There was an annoyance in his expression, obviously dissatisfied.

Seeing that Niu Gao kept looking at himself.Yeluma said angrily: "You man, just watch what I do!"

Niu Gao said: "It's not on the battlefield, this is the first time I've seen such a high-ranking general like you. Today is a blessed day, let's take a closer look."

Wang Xiaolie said: "If Yelu Ma Wu hadn't come down early and continued to flee eastward, I'm afraid I would run into you. You two are destined to get to know each other. Among the Khitan generals who surrendered gold, there are few people who are better than Ye Lu Ma Wu higher official position."

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie didn't blame him for chasing Lisu, Niu Gao was completely relieved.Wang Xiaolie's performance in the past two days obviously did not want to have a life-and-death struggle with Jin Jun.Previously, Niu Gao was afraid that he would be reprimanded for not entanglement with the guards of the Jin army.

Wang Xiaolie didn't want to chase the Jin army to death, and was too far away from his base, so he didn't want to let them go.Niu Gao chased him for thirty miles and came back in time, of course Wang Xiaolie would not blame him.As soon as the main force of the Jin army ran away, the remaining porters were left unattended. The Song army all surrendered as soon as they arrived, and the battle went very smoothly.Almost all of the luggage that Wang Xiaolie was most concerned about fell into his own hands.

The gold army plundered a lot of wealth across Jiangxi and Hunan. Wang Xiaolie was overjoyed at a cursory look.When I was most short of money, with these wealth, many things would be easier to handle.

Reassuring, Niu Gao said: "Defense, I caught up with Ba Lisu thirty miles away. I fought with the Jin army and took some parcels. I opened it on the way and looked at it. Most of it is gold. I think the Jin army escaped." At that time, I picked up valuables and took them with me."

Wang Xiaolie smiled and nodded: "Golden people are used to being poor. How can they recognize so many jewels when they are suddenly rich? In their eyes, the most valuable thing in the world is gold. If you snatch it, it is the best." .In this way, we will be considered a complete victory!"

No matter how resolute Ba Lisu ran, he was reluctant to lose all the money he had robbed.He picked out some of the most precious gold wares and fine silks to take with him, but Niu Gao chased them quickly and they were all snatched away.Although the five thousand gold army escaped from birth, they were penniless.

Putting down the documents in his hand, Wang Xiaolie said: "I have ordered the soldiers to speed up the selection. We will take the valuables back to Xiangyang, and leave the rest to the Xiezhi army. This battle, the Xiezhi army has spent a lot of food and grass."
