Qiming 1158

Chapter 445 They were defeated thoroughly

Wanyan Ben saw what he didn't want to hear the most, and he said it.

As long as the most elite part can be preserved, Wanyan Ben Jian has the confidence to establish a new emperor, and can also preserve the interests of their group.

Not only that, there is an army in hand, and Jin Guo will face the counterattack that the Restoration Army will definitely launch, at least there is still the strength to fight, there is a possibility of victory, so as not to lose even the last hope.

It can be said that as long as the battle is won, the status of Wanyan Benjian and Xinjun will be consolidated.

This is the best turnaround ending.

If you try to save everything, in the current situation where both the food route and the escape route are cut off, there is a high probability of suicide.

Not only the less elite can't be saved, the elite can't be saved, all of them can't be saved, Wanyan Ben sees that he might die here and be buried with the whole army.

Even if they were lucky enough to escape and go back to part of them, it would still be a fantasy if they didn't have enough strength to suppress the opposition and resist the Restoration Army.

In addition, Wanyan Liang's southern expedition brought not only the army and generals, but also half of the imperial court.

It's not that Wanyan Liang's expedition did not need to deal with state affairs at all.

His crown prince Wanyan Guangying is only ten years old and can't handle government affairs at all. Staying in the central government is more symbolic. It is the assistant ministers he left behind who are in power. For assistant ministers, there are some things they can't handle. Yan Liang would not hand over those powers to the ministers.

So even if he was on the march, Wanyanliang still needed the half of the imperial court to help him with some things that the emperor had to handle himself.

As for Zhongdu, only the prince and the other half of the imperial court were left, barely maintaining some daily state affairs.

The army is really going to be wiped out here. Not only are they going to die, but the Jin Dynasty court will directly lose half and abolish half, which is too fun.

What other government affairs do you do?Govern what world?
Just crashed.

He Shi Lie Liangbi's consideration was very good, and he put all possible situations in front of Wanyan Benjian.

After careful consideration, Wanyan Benjian made a decision.

"The signed army and the people's husband abandoned it and abandoned it. The soldiers and horses were not allowed to bring them. If there is not enough food, the horses will be killed for food at that time, and the food will be saved for the war horses. How can I go back to the Central Capital!"

He Shi Lie Liangbi was shocked.

"The commander-in-chief, the bandit army also has an established cavalry and horse team. Even if the number of cavalry and horses is small, it can still launch a pursuit. It has to be guarded! Everyone brings it, and the speed will definitely be affected. When the time comes..."

"I know, I didn't mean that, and the bandit army won't have too many cavalry, at least it can't have as many as our army, as long as there are not many people, we can't do anything about it."

Wanyan Benjian waved his hand: "Liangbi, these cavalry and war horses are our lifeblood, can we lose it, I don't want to lose it, as for returning north... the army needs multiple routes, I mean, focus on the elite The main force takes the shortest and safest route.”

He Shi Lie Liangbi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Wanyan Benjian meant.

It doesn't mean that you don't give up or give up, but it means to give other soldiers some hope.

Wanyan Benjian will take half the imperial court and the most elite troops to return north along the safest route with the most adequate food, striving to return to the Central Capital as quickly as possible.

The rest of the troops will return north separately to see who is lucky. If they are lucky, they may be able to go back to some of them. If they are unlucky... let's take the north return as the main force of the army to attract the attention of the enemy.

Count them as unlucky.

So He Shi Lie Liangbi nodded, accepted this statement, and discussed with Wanyan Benjian for a while, then called Wanyan Yiying and Yi Laicheng, and the four discussed it for a while.

The final result was to leave the signing army and the people as a barrier, and the main force of the army returned in three ways.

All the way is the main way, gathering all the elites and court officials, is the way to return.

The other two routes were supplemented, and they did their best to return, and strive for more people to return. It was really impossible, and it was not completely unacceptable to lose all of them.

As long as the elite main force can all return.

The number of elite main forces was also negotiated by them. [-] cavalry, one person and two horses, strive to return all of them, and maximize the strength of the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.

The second route and the third route are each paired with [-] cavalry and [-] infantry troops, and they take different routes to return to the north. As for whether they can go back, and how many people can go back, it depends on their own fortunes.

Of course, the troop withdrawal strategy must have been announced openly, and it is also normal for the troops to return.

As for now, except for the senior officers and a small number of guards, all the middle and low-level officers and soldiers do not know that the logistics of the army has been cut off, and they plan to continue to hide it.

If the soldiers at the bottom were told that the logistics had been cut off, they might panic and panic, and they might even make a mutiny.

It is said that this is a normal "advance", not a retreat, so as to deceive the soldiers at the bottom and allow the army to return safely. Even if the news is leaked in the middle, and people are on the road, can they turn the sky over?

"Although the plan is formulated like this, it is also a question whether it can be implemented smoothly. It is unknown whether it can be successfully implemented or whether it can be returned smoothly. In this battle, we lost, and we lost very thoroughly."

After discussing the details, Wanyan Benjian couldn't help sighing.

The other three also sighed.

Yes, until now, they finally have time to think about the success or failure of this battle.

More than 40 armed groups with nearly 50 people marched southward, preparing to wipe out the rebels in Shandong and Hebei with an indomitable momentum.

The results of it?
The army was bruised and bloodied under the iron wall of the rebel army, and almost fell into desperation under Wanyanliang's divine manipulation.

All the way to the south, the soldiers were damaged all the way. Just the ones who died in battle, they only knew that it was close to [-], and the number of people who were injured and lost their combat effectiveness would not be less than this number.

In addition to the part of the Jurchen soldiers who supervised the siege of the signing army, a total of 16 soldiers from Yanyun, Liaodong, and Hedong went south. Up to now, less than [-] soldiers can return together.

Even if they all return smoothly, the Southern Expedition Army has already lost one-third of its main force. The real numbers cannot deceive anyone.

Now all the signing troops and civilian husbands have to be sacrificed as sacrifices for returning to the north.

And how many of these [-] main forces can return smoothly?

How many of the 18 war horses can return smoothly and continue to ride?
The main force and young soldiers suffered such heavy losses, and the war potential of the Jin Kingdom was also severely damaged. Within a few years, there was no spare energy to crusade the rebels in Shandong and Hebei.

No, let alone whether they can launch an attack again, the Liberation Army will inevitably win and then take advantage of the situation to go north and try to seize the land of Yanyun, but the morale of the Jin army is greatly damaged, and the prestige of the Jin Kingdom has plummeted, whether it can successfully defend and keep Yanyun and Zhongdu, That's really not necessarily.

And after the defeat in this battle, it is hard to say whether the Southern Song Dynasty will continue to hold its troops and Xixia will continue to hold its troops.

Nanjing Road, the land of Guanzhong, and the land of Hedong are all at risk of being lost, and the ambitions of the countries that were suppressed by the military forces of the Jin Kingdom in the past will expand in an all-round way.

"For me, the Great Jin Kingdom, the best outcome is to confront the Guangfu Army in Yanyun, Guanzhong and Nanjing can also maintain confrontation with Song Kingdom and Xia Kingdom, and the worst outcome is to return to Liaodong and protect Taizu Emperor Long. Xingzhiye, bid farewell to the Central Plains from now on, and the next time I come back, I don’t know when it will be.”

He Shi Lie Liangbi told the other three about the results of his analysis, and the other three were depressed and very helpless.

They lost, completely and simply.
