The struggle of the reborn prince

As a veteran in the battlefield, Zhao Yong didn't know how difficult the process of withdrawing troops was. If he was not careful, he would fail and the whole army would be wiped out, so he remained vigilant during the process of returning to the army.When he left Liaoyang City, he knew that there were two Jin armies coming, so when he withdrew, he ordered to take away nearly 10 Han Chinese who were young and strong regardless of their origins and who had been captured here, and expelled the old and weak from the city. , and those Jurchen noble officials who failed to escape when the city was broken and refused to surrender were slaughtered.

Another Liaoyang City has become an important town in Liaodong after hundreds of years of management by the rulers of successive dynasties. It not only has a large population and a developed economy, but also is a secular cultural center. Those monks, scholars, intellectuals, and even businessmen, craftsmen, and craftsmen Waiting to become the disseminator of civilization and the elite of various industries in this city and nearby counties.A country can lose many officials, but even if it can be rebuilt after losing these elites, it will still be a dead city. The economy and culture will go back for decades, or even a hundred years, which is equivalent to taking away the soul of the city.

This method led to the destruction of countless families and the separation of their flesh and blood. It seemed to be against harmony and even very cruel, but it could greatly reduce the pressure on the remaining troops, so that they did not have to worry about civil strife in the city and could concentrate on fighting the enemy.On the other hand, this is also treating the person in the same way as the person, imitating what the Jin army did in Yanjing City, abducting all the population, making it an empty city, and the city that has lost its popularity will be destroyed in a few years. inevitable decline.

It is difficult for anyone to drive such a large population to move thousands of miles across the enemy's country. Fortunately, Zhao Yong had similar experiences in the Northwest and Datong.He divided the captured population into two parts.The Han people were guarded by the Song army, and the Jurchens, Bohai, Khitan, and Xi people were escorted by the armies of the Five Kingdoms. They used their sense of national identity to reduce hostility to the Song army, and at the same time facilitate communication and reduce troubles on the way.

During the retreat, Zhao Yong soon discovered that there was a tail hanging behind him, and he could not shake it off as silently as a wolf. He retreated in separate teams and marched alternately to cover, and strictly defended to prevent the enemy's surprise attack.But a few days later, the enemy did nothing but follow them.Although Zhao Yong didn't know Wushu's order to Wanyan Yuying and what they thought.But as a battle-hardened veteran, he knew very well that such a large population and property was a piece of fat in the eyes of any army, and he would not give it up easily.

As the Jin army began to frequently harass, Zhao Yong had a sense of urgency that 'the battle is coming'.Now the marching speed is repeatedly reduced.If it continues, they will only have two results.One was dragged to death in the Kingdom of Jin, and the other was to throw off the burden and break out to survive.Both results were not what Zhao Yong hoped for, and he had to find a way to teach the enemy behind a profound lesson.Make them dare not stroke the tiger's beard again.Zhao Yong began to look for fighters while preparing for this battle.

The first is to show the enemy's weakness, so that the Jin army has been exhausted by the harassment, the morale is low, and the army's morale is lax.Therefore, Zhao Yong asked the guards to deliberately show war-weariness, and at the same time selected specific groups of people among the plundered population, spread rumors among them, reduced the supply of food, and then deliberately relaxed the guards to let them escape from the Song camp, but they happened to be discovered by the Jin army again. Captured, passed false news to Jin Jun's ears through their mouths.

Furthermore, changing the way of camping, the avant-garde that the Jin army saw was leaving the brigade and marching, but it was actually choosing another camp for camping.One is that the huge captive population can be divided into two parts to reduce the possibility of riots; the other is that the two camps are horns for each other. When attacked by the Jin army, they can support each other and prepare for the coming battle at the same time, so that the captured people get used to it. Switch camps at night without confusion.

The most important thing is to choose the time and place for the battle to start. Zhao Yong grasped the rhythm before the battle, while guessing the psychology of the Jin army, which aroused their enthusiasm, hung their appetite, and made them dare not take it easy. mouth.And he began to dress up as a scout and go out to choose the battlefield. In the end, he fell in love with this open land thirty miles outside Kaizhou City. The river valley can hide soldiers, the mountain woods are easy to hide and get rid of pursuers, and the open terrain can give full play to the dragoons. He is good at charging the stone wall, defeating the chasing troops of the Jin army, and killing them a 'back to the carbine'!

Zhao Yong immediately deployed. He first used a few nights in the name of a possible night attack by the Jin army to coax the looted population to move the camp in the middle of the night. In fact, he marched overnight and brought them and supplies to Kaizhou City in batches.However, the scale of the camp built every day has not decreased, and there are still a lot of vehicles, but the camp is much rougher, and the number of people in it is much less, which makes the Jin army think that the situation is still the same, but the Song army is more distracted, and even the fortifications They have no intention of doing it.

After everything was ready, Zhao Yong threw out the last bait in his hand, and lured the Jin Jun, who was already scratching their heads, to take the bait, making them think that the time for an assault was ripe, and they couldn't wait to launch a long-planned attack, ready to salvage a fortune , Annihilated the retreating Song army.And Song Jun, who had been prepared for a long time, introduced Jin Jun into the preset battlefield step by step according to the script given by the commander...

Wanyan Yuying led the army to charge three times but was beaten back by the Song army's counterattack. The two troops of Wanyan Yong and Wanyan Liang were also unable to break through the iron wall laid by the Song army, let alone break the formation. They had to retreat and gather together again. Together.The artillery fire of the Song army on the top of the mountain has not stopped, spreading death in the Jin army formation with the grinning grin of death, and the failure of repeated assaults has exacerbated the chaos, and the people and horses have commotion.

"You are handsome, let me lead the army to charge again. I don't believe they can stop our Daikin cavalry!" Wan Yanliang said unconvinced. Wearing heavy armor, he was not injured. The horse under his seat had already died under the random guns of the Song army. Bravery.

"I can't charge any more. The enemy's firearms are sharp. Our bows and arrows are not as far and powerful as theirs. We lost half of them before the battle. We can't use our bows and horses at all!" Wanyan Huying shook his head. It was too simple to think, thinking that the Song army had lost its morale and could not organize resistance at all, so it could only be killed by itself. I didn't expect that what I saw was all illusions. Now the Song army's attack has not really started yet, and my soldiers The horse has already lost three stops, and it doesn't make much sense to fight anymore.

"Du Shuai, even if we want to withdraw, I'm afraid it will not be easy. The Song Army obviously still has room, and they just want to take advantage of our retreat to cover up and kill us. The artillery of the Song Army on the mountain is the most threatening to us, blocking our way of retreat!" Wan Yanyong knew that it was impossible to retreat completely, he looked at the situation and said, "You guys retreat first, I will lead the army later, otherwise we will all die here!"

"Boom..." While the three of them were talking, a row of shells fell around them, shrapnel shot everywhere, and there were screams of misery. The frightened horses slammed on their kicks and rushed, causing chaos, and the flag officer was cut off half of his head. Shaking and falling off the horse, Shuai Qi also fell down.

"Du Shuai, the enemy army has found your position. I will lead the army to attack the artillery on the mountain. You take the opportunity to break through!" Wan Yanyong shot two arrows in a row and killed the startled horse. attention.

"No, I lost this battle because I underestimated the enemy in order to obey the grand master's order. You go first and I will finish the battle!" Wanyan Yuying grabbed Wanyan Yong's horse's head and said, although the ambush was the result of the two inciting themselves Therefore, as the coach, he should be responsible for failing to deal with it calmly, and the two of them did not back down during the crisis, but rushed forward, which moved him very much. If they hurt him, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"You don't have to fight anymore, I'll make the decision..." Wan Yanliang also stepped forward.

"Wait, the enemy's artillery fire has weakened!" During the dispute, Wanyan Yuying suddenly noticed that the Song army's artillery fire had stopped, and the sound of horns could be faintly heard on the other side of the mountain.

"You are handsome, it is our army's horn sounding, it must be Li Cheng who has come to meet us!" Wan Yanliang said happily after listening carefully.

"Okay, let's break through the encirclement right away!" Wanyan Yuying was also overjoyed, he knew that the Song army would soon find out that the situation had changed and launched a general attack, so they had to take advantage of this short gap to break through.

'Woooo...' The sound of horns sounded continuously in the Jin army formation, and the Jin army, who was on the verge of collapse, followed the commander-in-chief flag and ran away...

"The Jin army is defeated, and then hides and kills, but don't be greedy for merit, and return when encountering obstacles!" Zhao Yong quickly understood that there was a Jin army brigade behind the mountain, and the five armies and leopard generals guarding there had to turn around to defend , to prevent the two armies from meeting, and the Jin army in front of him had already taken the opportunity to break through, and he immediately issued an order for a general attack.But he knew that although he had won, he was not completely out of danger, and the battle goal had been achieved, so there was no need to take another risk.As soon as the general order was issued, all the armies moved together, and then launched a chase.

After Wanyan Yuying's leading army was broken, he fought and left, but eventually he was defeated by the Song army, and gradually turned into a rout of the whole army. He ran non-stop for ten miles and met Li Chengbu who came to meet him before he stabilized his position and formed a formation.The Song army did not launch another attack, but retreated in formation, and the Jin army did not dare to chase any more, and the battle came to an end.

However, neither of the warring parties realized that their battle had disrupted the chess game carefully planned by the leaders of the two countries, and had to re-arrange.But Zhao Tun in Bianjing couldn't stop screaming and regretting after reading the battle report. If he went to battle, he would lose all his supplies and population. Even if he abandoned Liaoyang City, he would have to kill Wanyan Liang and Wanyan Yong. I don't know, but as a latecomer, he knows that these two people are the fourth and fifth emperors of the Jin Kingdom in the history that he has not tampered with, but now that the opportunity has been lost, he can only sigh in vain...
