Chapter 293 Kong Yanzhou is very proficient in displaying his traditional skills

This retreat wasn't really going to be a smooth one.

Kong Yanzhou was beaten in a hurry. All he thought about was how to drive the Restoration Army away and relieve the danger of Nanjing Road. He thought the war would continue, but he never thought that the war would end like this. .

One night, the Restoration Army secretly retreated, and at dawn the next day, the Jin Army only saw a mess on the other side of the river.

Since the Restoration Army had been on the offensive before, and the Jin Army was on the defensive, the Jin Army did not react quickly, so that Kong Yanzhou didn't know whether the Restoration Army was retreating or a trick to lure the enemy at first.

A subordinate suggested to pursue, he was worried that this was a tactic, and only sent a small number of troops to follow tentatively. After a while, they defeated a few small troops in the rear. Only then did Kong Yanzhou determine that the Guangfu Army was retreating, not luring the enemy. count.

He was puzzled, but his heart was immediately filled with the urge for revenge.

It doesn't matter why you retreat!

It's fun to press me, right?
I will kill you!

With a wave of Kong Yanzhou's hand, the fierce generals Xia Ou and Huang Chang led the Jin soldiers who were still able to fight to pursue them, and they met Zhao Yucheng, who took the initiative to be behind the army.

Zhao Yucheng ordered the army to fight to the death and promised a generous bounty.

But in this case, the bounty is of little significance. What everyone has to consider is whether there is life to spend.

Before stepping on the white army, they had been fighting across the river several times in succession, and their morale was not high, and they were also very tired, and when they heard the news of the death in the rear, they hurriedly retreated, and the Jin army who came in pursuit had no will to fight.

Thanks to Zhao Yucheng's urging, they could barely resist for a while.

However, after that, Xia Ou and Huang Chang led their own personal soldiers to attack rapidly, and soon overwhelmed the defense line of the Tabai Army and shook the army formation of the Tabai Army.

Zhao Yucheng's eyes were cracked, and he felt that if he was scattered by the Jin soldiers here, the main force led by Zhao Kaishan would be in danger of being overthrown, so Zhao Yucheng disregarded the obstruction of his cronies and rushed forward with his own cavalry guards. Fight with the Golden Soldier.

After a bloody battle, Zhao Yucheng, wearing Sanchuang, lost nearly half of his bodyguards, and finally repelled Xia Ou and Huang Chang.

Zhao Yucheng hastily bandaged the wound, feeling that the soldiers no longer had the will to fight and could not cut off the wound, so he decided to bring the remaining guards to cut off the wound in person.

After that, as expected, another small group of Jinbing troops tried to attack the defeated soldiers of the Tabai Army several times. Zhao Yucheng commanded the guard cavalry to fight several times and barely supported the bank of the Yellow River.

Fortunately, the large force had already started to cross the river smoothly at this time, and Zhou Zhi led some of You Yi's army to pick up the exhausted Zhao Yucheng and the Tabai army. Seeing that Zhao Yucheng was seriously injured, Zhou Zhi quickly let Zhao Yucheng retreat, and he broke the back for the entire army.

After Xia Ou and Huang Chang were repelled by Zhao Yucheng, they regrouped their troops and made a comeback, facing Zhou Zhi's coastal defense forces.

Relying on the large number of cavalry, Xia Ou and Huang Chang tried to overwhelm Zhouzhi by rushing and attacking.

In the face of Jinbing's superior cavalry, Zhou Zhi was already prepared. He left behind all the bows and arrows left by the Restoration Army. He assembled thousands of bowmen to form an arrow formation and shot arrows with all his might to block Xia Ou and Huang Chang. impact.

Because Zhou Zhi went to the front line to command and boost morale at any time, almost all the guards around him died in battle, and he paid a heavy price.

Therefore, the cavalry led by Xia Ou and Huang Chang repeatedly attacked and fought bravely, but they were still unable to overwhelm the Zhouzhi troops who were backed by the Yellow River.

Until the retreat of the Restoration Army was completed, the main force of Jin soldiers led by Kong Yanzhou still failed to arrive.

The vanguard forces led by Xia Ou and Huang Chang were not strong enough to defeat Zhou Zhi.

The surging Yellow River water blocked the Jin Army's counterattack, allowing the main force of the Restoration Army to retreat smoothly.

In the words of high emotional intelligence, the Battle of Kaifeng ended with both sides maintaining their pre-war strategic posture.

But to be honest, Zhao Kaishan failed.

Kaifeng was not obtained, the main force of the Jinjun Nanjing Road was not eliminated, the logistics base was destroyed, the three states in the rear were devastated, and none of the pre-war strategic goals were achieved.

But it should not be said, because Zhao Yucheng and Zhou Zhi performed well during the retreat, although the Restoration Army lost nearly [-] troops in this battle, the main force was barely retained.

It's just that the Restoration Army also lost a lot of grain and supplies, and its morale was extremely low. In addition, the rear suffered heavy losses, and it will no longer have the economic strength to launch a strategic offensive for a long time in the future.

Zhao Kaishan's control area has been squeezed to the limit by him. If he doesn't take a ruthless rest, but continues to do so, a brand new uprising will break out before the Jin Bing strikes.

The insurgents were revolted by the insurgents, which is a reality full of black humor.

After Zhou Zhi retreated, the main force of the Jin army led by Kong Yanzhou arrived late and was as helpless in the face of the surging Yellow River.

But his heart was still more joyful than regretful.

Another victory, isn't it?
But what is this all about?

Why was the Restoration Army in a hurry to retreat?

He clearly has the advantage, as long as he continues to fight, his side is likely to lose the line of defense, Kaifeng is at stake, why did he retreat at this stall?

Is there something wrong with the rear?
It wasn't until two days later that Kong Yanzhou learned that his disciple Dan Kening had taken a thousand cavalry to pierce the rear of the Restoration Army and bleed their chrysanthemums fiercely. The Restoration Army had to retreat and gave up attacking Kaifeng.

After learning this news, Kong Yanzhou's mood was a little complicated.

Of course, he was happy that the war was over and he was safe.

But also feel uncomfortable.

In the first place, it was not him who made the most important feat and turned the tide of the war, but Tudan Kening, the beleaguered relative of the royal family.

Second, this imperial relative was not very popular with the emperor, and was sent over. If he was robbed of the first credit, the emperor should not be happy.

Thirdly, his order to the border states was to stick to it, not to fight. It was a mistake for Dan Kening to go to battle rashly and violated the military order.

No, this credit must not be taken away by the idiot Dan Kening.

It has to be yours!

So Kong Yanzhou seized this loophole and sent someone to tell his disciple Dan Kening that this time he had merits and demerits, and the merits and demerits were balanced, so that he should continue to strictly guard the border and not take risks again.

Then he turned around and took the credit for himself.

Kong Yanzhou was very proficient in displaying his traditional skills, boasted of his achievements in front of Jing Sihui, and quickly sent someone north to tell the emperor Wanyanliang the good news.

It is said that he quickly and violently attacked Caozhou and Shanzhou, which delayed the attack of the Restoration Army under Zhao Kaishan to the Hedong area, and successfully blocked the attack of the main force of the Restoration Army in the subsequent Battle of Kaifeng, and successfully counterattacked and defeated the Restoration Army.

He wiped out more than [-] Liberation Army soldiers in the first battle, and killed more than a dozen important generals of the Liberation Army.

All this is due to his Kong Yanzhou.

After handing over the credit book, Kong Yanzhou happily prepared to receive the reward, and then enjoyed the boundless glory and wealth.

Jing Sihui didn't care much about this, he just wanted to build the palace in Kaifeng Mansion so that the emperor could live happily, that's fine, the rest is not important.

As for Kong Yanzhou's exploits, it would naturally be up to the emperor to judge.

So this time, the raid on Kaifeng Mansion failed miserably for various reasons.

When Su Yonglin met Zhao Zuoliang again in Hejian Mansion, he also learned the news of Zhao Kaishan's defeat almost at the same time, and felt very sorry for this.

"If Zhao Lingshuai can protect the food supply, he will not be exploited by others, and it is not impossible to win Kaifeng, and once Kaifeng is won and cut off the northern aid of the Jin Kingdom, it can greatly deter Nanjing. Road's Golden State Frontier Army.

At that time, the frontier army of the Jin Kingdom will be the Song Army and the Restoration Army on the one hand. There is a high probability that they will surrender or simply escape. It is not impossible to capture the entire Nanjing Road. .

With his current relationship with the southern country, this means that the rear is stable and the rear is stable, and he can use Nanjing Road as the basis to rectify the army and start to move towards Guanzhong. The Restoration Army, facing three enemies, is about to collapse. "
