Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 514
...

It was the Second Dragon Army that blocked the Liao Army in the second wave... and the Ya Nei Zuo Army.

The yamen army he was in for was the army that Liu Yanqing brought from Tokyo to earn merit.

After this army came, it was divided into two by Tong Guan, half of which had a little combat power. The Song army called it "Ya Nei You Jun". It is currently stationed in Zhuozhou, led by He Guan, and the other Zhichun is made up of Beijing rats (people who come to make merit), and the top and bottom of the Song army call it "Yanei Zuojun", led by Liang Fangping.

Since the Yamen Zuo Army went northward, the Erlong Army was arranged by Liu Yanqing to protect the Yamen Zuo Army.

The Erlong Army and the Yanei Zuo Army were stationed at the last line of defense, so that they could be the first to escape in case of emergency.

Originally, the Erlong Army and Ya Nei Zuo Army should be the first wave to evacuate.

But Wu Yong took a look at it and found that the Song army was full of loopholes due to its hasty retreat. He immediately concluded that the Liao army must pursue it, and once the Liao army pursued it, the Song army would suffer heavy casualties. This battle may affect the national fortune of the Song Dynasty.

Wu Yong hurriedly reported the incident to Song Jiang who was about to retreat.

Song Jiang listened, pondered for a while, and said: "How can we avoid this defeat?"

Wu Yong said: "It needs to be done after the army is broken."

Song Jiang asked: "Can our Second Dragon Army take on this important task?"

Wu Yong shook his head and said: "Our Second Dragon Army has less than 6000 troops in total, and almost all of them are infantry. They can't stop the Liao Army's cavalry at all."

Song Jiang frowned and said, "What should I do? Consult with Xin Tongzhi?"

Wu Yong shook his head again, and said, "Xin Tongzhi has lost power now, he doesn't have such great power at all, and his subordinates are too far away from us, so we can't come to help."

Song Jiangdao: "Then what should I do?"

Wu Yong thought for a while, and said: "There is only one army of the Ya'nei Zuo Army around us... If we can persuade Liang Tongzhi and Gao Jianjun to let the Ya'nei Zuo Army stay behind, we may be able to scare the Liao Army away... But, I am afraid it will not be easy to persuade. them."

After hearing this, Song Jiang narrowed his eyes, and said, "It's up to them not to be loyal to the country!"

After speaking, Song Jiang said to the left and right: "Go and call Dai Zong."

After a while, Dai Zong came to Song Jiang's Chinese army tent.

After Song Jiang explained this to Dai Zong's ear, Dai Zong immediately paid the bill.

Song Jiang then called all the other fifteen brothers, and said: "The military master predicted that the Liao army will definitely pursue our army while it is retreating. If it catches up with it, our Song Dynasty will definitely suffer a disastrous defeat. It is possible that the national power will retreat due to this. It is worth it." In this critical moment, someone must stand up, Song Jiang, in my humble opinion, who is the hero of Erlongshan in this generation?"

Seeing disapproval on the faces of Li Kui and others, Song Jiang said: "Song Jiang is a despicable and wretched official who violated the criminal code by mistake and was exiled to Jiangzhou. He spoke wildly when he was drunk, and abandoned the market when he was sentenced. Hidden in Erlong Mountain, lingering on his life. He committed a crime, and ten thousand deaths are inevitable. Later, he was mercifully included by the sage, and he was forgiven for his crime. He was also entrusted with Zhongyilang and the history of the imperial city. It is still impossible to repay the emperor's kindness. Dare to do everything possible to be loyal today, and die later? If the brothers do not want to go together, Song Jiang will inevitably be forced, even if one person kills each other, Song Jiang will also end the army of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Hearing what Song Jiang said, Li Kui said: "Brother don't say this, even if you go up the mountain of knives and down the pan of oil, I, Tieniu, will definitely accompany my brother on the journey!"

Qin Huidao: "This is a national war. We cannot be allowed to back down. If we lose, Song will be underestimated by Di Yi. Let's go, let's die at most!"

Zhang Kui said: "I have one hundred brothers in Erlongshan. Back then, I said that we will live together and die together. I think today is the time for us to fulfill that oath."

Di Lei said: "It's all about killing yourself and becoming a benevolent, let's go together!"

Yellow channel: "Go together!"

Qiu Xiaoyi, Wang Daoren, Shi Wei, Zhao Fu, Fan Tianxi, Dai Quan, He Lian Jinming, Pan Xun, Hu Mai, and Yan Qi all agreed to end the Song army.

Not long after, Dai Zong invited Liang Fangping and Gao Shide over.

Before he entered the big tent, Gao Shide yelled: "Song Jiang, your airs are getting bigger and bigger. If you have something to ask us, you don't go to our place, but call us here."

Song Jiang rushed out to greet him, and said: "What did the yamen say? Even with Song Jiang's 1 courage, Song Jiang didn't dare to bother the yamen. It's really impossible to say this in your army in the yamen."

Gao Shide asked, "What's the matter?"

Song Jiangdao: "The military division Wu in our army concluded that the Liao army will come to pursue them. Let's..."

Before Gao Shide finished listening, he jumped up and said, "Then what are you waiting for, run!"

Song Jiang said: "Can our infantry outrun the Liao army's cavalry?"

"This……"

Gao Shide wanted to say: "He can ride a horse and run by himself."

But when he thought of his own poor riding skills, Gao Shide's calf couldn't help but twist!
Song Jiang saw it and said: "Ya Nei, can you see if this works? You call all the important personnel in your army to our Erlong Army. We will carry out key protection. Even if everyone in the Erlong Army gave up their lives, they will not be killed." Surely we must protect your lives in the yamen, how about that?"

Gao Shide's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said in his heart: "This Song Sanshen is on the road."

The Erlong Army is definitely one of the most capable troops in the Song Army, otherwise it would not have been sent to protect the Ya Nei Zuo Army.

Therefore, if the Second Dragon Army focuses on protecting 800 people and retreating, it will definitely allow these 800 people to evacuate safely.

Liang Fangping also felt that Song Jiang's idea was good, but he still hesitated and said, "Then who will command our yamen army?"

Song Jiangdao: "I sent General Huang Xin of our army to lead a group of generals and schools to command, how about it?"

Liang Fangping thought: "Anyway, it's just a withdrawal, and it doesn't matter whoever commands it," and agreed.

Soon, nearly a thousand important personnel from the Left Army of Yamen came to the Second Dragon Army.

At the same time, Huang Xin also took over the left army in Yamen.

Afterwards, Gao Shide and Liang Fangping began to urge Song Jiang to withdraw his troops.

But Song Jiang paid homage to Gao Shide and Liang Fangping, and said: "I have waited a long way to go north, in order to fight the Liao army, win glory for the country, and fight for glory with the ancestors. Today is a good opportunity for us to serve the country loyally. , how can I retreat?"

Gao Shide and Liang Fangping were dumbfounded for a moment, and then became furious!
Gao Shide scolded: "Song Sanheizi, why are you crazy, escort us back to Xiongzhou quickly, we are pregnant, so we don't care about the past with you, otherwise you will wait to be ransacked and beheaded!"

They also scolded one after another:

"Song Jiang, I order you to withdraw immediately!"

"My father is the Minister of the Ministry of War. If you don't withdraw the army quickly, I guarantee that you, the imperial envoy, will be the end!"

"You can't defeat the Liao army even if you are a teacher. How can you, Song Jiang, defeat the Liao army?"

"..."

Li Kui was distraught when he heard that, so he pulled out two axes and roared, "If anyone dares to blah, don't blame me, Tie Niu, for chopping him down!"

Gao Shide pointed to Li Kui's nose and said, "You, a small school, dare to let go in front of our family..."

Before the word "四" could be said, Li Kui's eyes widened angrily, and then he chopped down with an axe!

Gao Shide's head flew out immediately, then hit the big tent, and then fell to the ground.

If someone looked at Gao Shide's unsettling eyes, he would find that until then, Gao Shide didn't believe it, and Li Kui dared to kill him!
Seeing that Li Kui had caused a catastrophe, Song Jiang was shocked!
But Song Jiang quickly put his mind to rest and said, "Who dares to disturb the morale of the army again, Gao Shide is his lesson from the past!"
