Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1268
During the several conquests in the former Tang Dynasty, the entire army was wiped out, and even the 20 army was depleted, which made the literati fearful.If the imperial court can destroy the Jiaozhi Li family, it will have all the conditions to conquer Dali.

In the past, Nanzhao, this shame that the scholar-bureaucrats were reluctant to mention, can finally be put on the agenda of demise, at least there is hope, and no one wants the Han family military state to exist as a vassal.

Looking at Li Gang and Li Guang who were looking sour, Wang Xiu smiled and said, "Just now is just the first reason, the Annan Governor's Mansion! I think the army has regained the lost land, and they are all the people of this dynasty. Of course they can't." Let the imperial guards do whatever they want."

Li Gang and Li Guang agree with this reasoning, but they are also veterans, and they seem to understand Wang Xiu's narration.

Wang Xiu didn't go on talking. Everyone understands, so how could they fail to understand what he meant? If you really say it, everyone will not look good. What scholars want is face. .

"Gao Liu is too outrageous. He won Zezhou and went north to Longde, but he transferred to Jinzhou. It's just a joke of the two governments' strategies." Li Guang thought of Guantang just arrived, and he couldn't get angry. , Hebei camp, as a partial division going north, needs to take down Longde mansion, launch the east offensive for the main force, create a favorable strategic situation, and hastily launch an offensive against Jinzhou, obviously wanting to monopolize the great achievements, and intends to Jinyang.

Li Gang snorted heavily, apparently dissatisfied, but the teacher has considerable freedom, and he can't stop the orders of the generals from abroad.

"Jinzhou." Wang Xiu touched his nose subconsciously, he really didn't know, it seemed that Guantang who had just arrived at the Privy Council, shook his head and said: "Gao Ziheng, this same year is still so lonely, fortunately, there is a fourth brother, it's okay worrying."

"Wen Shi, are you very relieved?" Li Gang frowned slightly. The tens of thousands of troops were conquering, and they were still the elite of the front office, so it was no joke.

"Gao Ziheng is ambitious, so what if you don't feel at ease?" Wang Xiu said playfully, with a rather teasing expression.

Li Gang's face was a little stiff, and the root cause was that Gao Ping's successful formation of the East Camp was their masterpiece due to the rampantness of the Dianqian Division, which meant nothing.

Now, the wild horses they indulged seem to be too ambitious, gradually out of control, and they don't even follow the big policy they approved, no wonder Wang Xiu teased it.It seems that Wang Xiu arranged for Feng Yuan to be the deputy commander of the capital. While he had an overall view, he had already guarded against Gao Ping's base.

Li Guang is also very embarrassed, he can only talk about him, but he doesn't know that the Ji family on the front line has suddenly deteriorated.

On the battlefield, the Jin army dispatched Wulie's Temu, as well as the troops of Shu Liespeed, and more than ten thousand cavalry guards. It can be said that all the elites can be dispatched in a concentrated manner.

In the beginning, the thousands of cavalry were the fast horse army. They performed the task of opening the way and creating conditions for the main force to counterattack.

Wu Lie is worthy of being a brave general, and his timing is also very good. Among the several brigades and towns of the Song Army, they were filled by the infantry troops of the Jin Army. No.20 brigade town was also hit.

Gao Ping was stunned, Liu Zhuang was also trembling all over, and Xin Daozong was calm. He first ordered the 15th brigade town of Shenwei to command Huyantong, and the No. [-] brigade town of Longwei to command Xin Daoyuan to stop the attack, organize defense nearby, and make suggestions Said: "Taiwei, taking advantage of the blockage of the first brigade town, we should join the seventh brigade town earlier."

"What are you talking about? Why don't you join the Twenty Brigade Town backwards? The ferry must not be lost." Liu Zhuang said very bluntly. The Jin army's counterattack was too sharp. He was the first to think of going back to the ferry, at least to keep the retreat. Not so long ago he had been opposed to withdrawing to the ferry, but now he was in favor of it.

Xin Daozong was impatient. The Jin army attacked the town of the first brigade of Pengri with all its strength, and the focus was on the town of the 20th brigade. The movement of the infantry formation was inconvenient. [-]. No. [-] brigade town, the main forces have completed the confluence to form a large army formation of more than [-] people, in order to gain time to survive.

In this way, the Gongsheng Army can react in time.

He glared at Liu Zhuang fiercely, and said sharply: "The captives and cavalry are sharp, and the infantry has even infiltrated between my departments. It is crazy to want to retreat. With a distance of more than [-] steps, can we persist? Still unknown."

Nine thousand steps is indeed too far. This distance is enough for the horse army to launch multiple attacks, and the infantry has no ability to counterattack at all.

"That's much better than being trapped at the ferry. Now that we turn around and fight back, we still have a chance." Liu Zhuang argued forcefully, he didn't want to be surrounded by 10 people.

Gao Ping was moved. There were too many Jin troops on the battlefield, several times more than the Song army. If the five brigades and towns merged into an army formation, he wouldn't worry too much. It's too late to say anything now, and it's more realistic to retreat.

Xin Daozong glared at Liu Zhuang with his sword in his hand, and said sharply: "Our army is retreating, let alone whether we can escape. The first and seventh brigades are calm and wiped out. We are proud of serving the country loyally and wrapping corpses in horse leather. How can we abandon our robes."

Although he supported Gao Ping's aggressive advances and dismissed Feng Yuan, he was not a fool as the leader of the army. Under this situation, he could never take a step back. He could only join forces and hold on to gain a chance of survival. scattered.

"If you want the seventh brigade town to get closer, isn't it also giving up the first and twentieth brigade town?" Liu Zhuang was also impatient, and retorted in order to survive.

"How could it be the same day? Backwards is the abandonment of Paoze. If we move the Seventh Brigade Town closer, we will be able to resist the violent attack of the captives and have the strength to rescue the First and Twentieth Brigade Towns." Xin Daozong said angrily.

"Okay, the army turns to retreat, and must rush to join the Twenty Brigade Town." Gao Ping made a decision, and he had lost the confidence to continue fighting.

"Good advice, Taiwei." Liu Zhuang was overjoyed, and finally he was able to go back and kill him.

Xin Daozong stomped his feet resentfully. He still believed that sticking to the rendezvous was the best policy. The distance of more than [-] steps was simply courting death, but the commander's military order could not be disobeyed, so he could only take one step at a time. He said bitterly: "I will lead the army to charge."

Gao Ping looked at Xin Daozong with complicated eyes, and said in a deep voice: "There is a master." He regretted that he should not have dispersed the troops so much, and he did not expect the Jin army to hide so deeply. He lost all his advantages, and the most hateful thing is that he didn't mobilize his troops to join the battle in time.

In all fairness, Xin Daozong's proposal is feasible. The Song army lacks horse troops and chariot soldiers, and is in an embarrassing situation where all the ministries are fighting alone. Converging as much as possible is the best policy. At least three brigades and towns can be insisted on merging, even if they are [-] steps away from each other. , and can safely hold the position, waiting for the reinforcements of the Gongsheng Army.
