Chapter 1124 The Escaped Wang Fang

Zhou Zhi didn't understand Su Yonglin's order at the time, but now Zhou Zhi understands.

"So that's the case. Your Majesty has long expected such a day. Then I understand. Since the order has arrived, what is there to worry about? Send troops directly!"

Zhou Zhi quickly issued an order to send troops. At this time, the Song army in Zhenjiang Mansion on the south bank of the Yangtze River was preparing to retreat south, and the preparations for the southward attack of the Ming army were insufficient.

Although Wang Fang ordered to closely monitor the actions of the Ming army on the Jiangbei bank, the Ming army on the Jiangbei bank had already begun to prepare for the battle, and now the preparations are over, just waiting for the order to advance. As long as the Ming army's attack speed is fast enough, the Song army will respond. But come.

In fact it is.

Zhou Zhi issued an attack order on the evening of August [-]th. On August [-]th, just as the sky was bright and there was just a glimmer of light, the Ming army on the north bank of the Yangtze River began to cross the river on a large scale.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Song army who were responsible for monitoring the Ming army on the southern bank of the Yangtze River were dozing off on the beacon tower, but did not notice that the Ming army ships had already crossed the river.

So soon, the Ming army crossing the river vanguard successfully eliminated all the Song army beacon towers along the coast, and did not let them set the beacon fire, and then quickly attacked and advanced, leaving room for the large-scale landing of the follow-up troops.

The vanguard attacked the Song Army's three defense lines on the road from Zhenjiang Prefecture to Jiang'an without stopping, and broke through very smoothly. From the early morning to the bright sky, about [-] o'clock, the Ming Army vanguard had successfully broken through the Song Army's defense line. Three lines of defense, the soldiers are under the city of Zhenjiang.

Zhenjiang City Defense was relatively empty and slack because most of the soldiers went out to "help" the people "harden the walls and clear the fields".

The thunder cannons carried by the Ming army threw out one after another, causing an explosion, making the Song army think that the main force of the Ming army suddenly attacked, breaking the psychological defense line of the Song army, and the Song army in the city was defeated like a mountain.

At that time, Wang Fang, the commander of the capital, was checking supplies in the military camp outside the city. If he was not in the city, the Song army in the city could not effectively resist, and the city was quickly captured by the vanguard of the Ming army.

When Wang Fang learned about this, he was shocked and ordered the army to counterattack.

More than 5000 Song troops rushed to try to regain Zhenjiang City in a panic, but at this time the main force of the Ming army had already arrived, and the Song Army's counterattack was intercepted by the Ming army outside Zhenjiang City, and an encounter battle began immediately.

Zhou Zhi's You Yi Army was not equipped with firearms, it was still the old standard equipment of the Ming Army, but there were a lot of cavalry.

Among Wang Fang's [-] troops, there were only [-] cavalry as his personal guards.

The Ming army formed an infantry army, and the cavalry as a mobile combat force attacked the Song army's army. The Song army was unstable. Wang Fang had no choice but to fight with four hundred cavalry, trying to block the Ming army's front, but the cavalry was defeated and was completely wiped out by the Ming army's cavalry. , and even the back road was seized by the Ming cavalry.

The Ming army's infantry also fought bravely. They hadn't fought for three years. Once they started the war, they were unstoppable. They defeated the Song army frontally.

Wang Fang was shocked, knowing that he would not escape the guilt of losing Zhenjiang, so he planned to lead the remaining guards to launch a decisive charge against the Ming army, but was held back by the deputy general.

"Leave the green hills there, I'm not afraid of running out of firewood, but the only plan for now is to retreat immediately, collect the defeated soldiers on the road, and go south quickly to Dusong Pass. The merits and demerits are equal to each other, so there is no way out!"

Of course Wang Fang didn't want to die so helplessly, gritted his teeth, and gave orders.

"withdraw!"

So Wang Fang abandoned his army and fled southward with more than 100 personal guards taking advantage of the chaos.

More than [-] Song troops were defeated and lost outside Zhenjiang City, and the entire army was annihilated. The Ming army won the battle and seized Zhenjiang City, defeating the Song army of Zhenjiang Dutongsi in one fell swoop. Wang Fang painstakingly managed the defense along the river for three years. , was completely penetrated by the Ming army in one morning.

Of course, if it wasn't for Song Ting's order to withdraw his troops and concentrate on the defense, Wang Fang might not have been defeated so quickly.

But the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to say, Wang Fang fled all the way south, trying to gather the defeated soldiers, and hurry south to the Dusongguan guard to protect the safety of the north of Lin'an City, but what he did not expect was a Ming army cavalry chasing closely. He doesn't relax.

This Ming army cavalry had one person and two horses. Wherever he ran, the Ming army cavalry chased wherever he went. He looked like he would not give up until his goal was achieved. Wang Fang had no choice but to order half of his guards to abandon the horses and flee for their lives. Give it to him so that he and the remaining guards can also be alone, and then continue to flee south.

The two men ran away one by one and chased after Wang Fang.

Wang Fang originally planned to gather the defeated soldiers and stick to Dusong Pass, but after the Ming army cavalry chased Anji at a very fast speed, there was really no way to do it. Give him a chance to escape.

The deputy general led more than 50 personal guards to fight with the Ming army cavalry who was more than 20 times his own with a desperate heart, and soon all died in battle, while Wang Fang ran away to Dusong Pass under the protection of the last three personal guards. direction to escape.

The Ming army killed all the blocking Song army, and pursued it all the way. As a result, near Dusong Pass, Wang Fang's last three personal guards were forced into a decisive battle with the Ming army to win Wang Fang's life. Wang Fang finally managed to escape. Enter Dusongguan.

But the bad news is that the cavalry of the Ming army abandoned their horses and followed up the mountain, and fought a bloody battle with the Song army guarding the pass. After losing more than 100 people, they actually broke through Dusong Pass and defeated more than [-] Song army defenders at Dusong Pass. Guan Sui was knocked down by the Ming army.

Wang Fang ran away in a hurry when the Ming army fought the Dusong Pass in a bloody battle.

Wang Fang originally wanted to die and die for the country, but he couldn't, so he thought about gathering the defeated soldiers to guard Dusongguan, but he didn't succeed. In the end, there was only one goal left, and that was to keep himself alive.

Fortunately, after the Ming army conquered Dusong Pass, they did not chase after him, and let Wang Fang go. Wang Fang, who was left alone, could be considered to be able to continue to live.

But only after he calmed down did he realize that the tens of thousands of troops were gone, he was alone, and he was alone, could it be possible for him to return to Lin'an?
What would happen if I returned to Lin'an only to be spared?
Yu Yunwen was dissatisfied with him from the beginning, and now he fled back to Lin'an alone, lost the garrison, lost the army, what else could he use as the foundation of his life?
Yu Yunwen was in a rage, and it is estimated that he will be shot and killed, so he must not go back.

But his parents and children are all in Lin'an. If they don't go back, what will they do?
Will it be killed?

Wang Fang was heartbroken, and after thinking for a while, he still decided not to return to Lin'an.

Anyway, no one knows that he is still alive now. Even if he is defeated, if he is killed in the battle, the court will not treat his family so harshly that it will chill the rest of the generals.

Therefore, although the family members of the defeated and deceased will no longer receive such good official treatment, they can at least save their lives.

If he goes back, he will only be spared after losing the battle, and he will inevitably involve his family and be punished together with him, and maybe even be exiled or something, then his real life is better than death.

The current situation is extremely dangerous. Lin'an may be very dangerous. The Ming army has already captured Dusong Pass. Once they gain a firm foothold, Lin'an will be a piece of meat in their mouths, and the Song Dynasty will be in jeopardy.

At this moment, no matter what, you can't run around, it's better to find a place to hide and make plans after the war is over.

So he decided to hide in the mountains around Lin'an incognito. After the war was over, he would secretly return to Lin'an to inquire about his family. Escape to the south, the farther the better.

If he can't find his family, or his family is unfortunately disposed of by the court, then... then he can't do anything about it, a big man, there is still a chance to survive.

Wang Fang sat alone in the barren mountains, thinking about his experience over the years, and could not help but sigh and ridicule his incompetence and cowardice.

He also vowed to fight the Ming army to the death to avenge Liu Qi... Now let alone revenge, he can't keep it.

general...

I'm sorry for you!

Wang Fang knelt down and cried bitterly for a while, then took off his armor, leaving only a single coat, and fled for his life in the jungle.
