Chapter 458 Wanyan Benjian suddenly burst out laughing
Regarding the goal of this golden army, Duan Yi discussed with Xu Ang for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

"What's the purpose of the golden thief sending troops north to this place at this time? This is not the location of the golden thief's food road. What's the point of their coming here?"

Duan Yi was very puzzled.

Xu Ang was also at a loss.

"Could it be that the benefactor is not reconciled and wants to attack Hejian Mansion again? So he sent people to attack?"

"This...isn't possible? The 10 gold thieves have not been able to deal with Hejian Mansion, let alone only a few thousand people now? It doesn't look like they are here to attack Hejian Mansion."

"Then... are they here to attack Wubao and collect food?"

Duan Yi listened, frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Not to mention, the only reasonable explanation is this. The scale of the gold thief is so large. If the front line is short of food, it is really possible to send people everywhere to collect food... But the question is whether the gold thief has already known at this moment. Their food roads are cut off."

"Hard to say."

Xu Ang shook his head: "If you know, the gold thieves will definitely withdraw their troops across the board, and there should not be only a few thousand people."

"What if it's the retreating vanguard?"

"Then... shall we fight?"

Xu Ang looked at Duan Yi, he felt that Duan Yi's head was better than his, and he followed Duan Yi's advice more along the way, and he didn't forget to ask Duan Yi's opinion at this time.

Duan Yi hesitated for a while.

"There's no reason not to eat the meat delivered to your door, right? Being able to eat these cavalry can be considered as a way for Alang to relieve the pressure on the gold bandit cavalry on the front line, isn't it?"

"That's the reason."

Xu Ang nodded, and asked again: "But we are mostly infantry, and there are very few cavalry, which is not enough to fight head-on. How do you think this battle will be fought?"

Duan Yi walked back and forth in front of Xu Ang, and after walking around for a while, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"With it, it's hard to fight on flat ground, but it's easy to fight in cities."

"How to fight the city?"

"Didn't the gold thieves come towards Jiaohe? They don't know if there are any of our people in Jiaohe and whether it is fortified. Let's just leave Jiaohe and give them the county seat."

"This... do you want to turn the plain field battle into a city attack and defense battle?"

Duan Yi nodded.

"In a head-to-head confrontation, even if we win, we will not be able to catch up with them. We will suffer losses for no reason, and the results are still small. In this case, it is better to give them the county seat. You see, it has been rainy these days. If there is a city that can be stationed, what will they do? select?"

"Of course, if you live in it, you can also take shelter from the rain. Once the city gate is closed, you can still defend it. No matter how you look at it, it is safe, unless..."

Xu Ang thought everything through, laughed, and said, "Unless they are surrounded by our army."

"The gold bandit cavalry cannot carry too much food when they move. As long as they enter the city, we can surround them. Even if we don't fight, just besiege the city, and they will starve to death."

Duan Yi said with a smile: "The distance between the golden thief and the enemy usually ranges from ten to twenty miles. Let's do a full set of plays and withdraw the troops for twenty miles. After the golden thief is determined to enter the city, we will rush back and give him a big surprise." !"

"So good."

Xu Ang expressed his support, so he immediately promulgated the order.

Let the recovery army stationed in Jiaohe County seize the time to retreat, retreat [-] miles to the west, and leave elite sentries to observe carefully in this area. Once the Jin army enters the city, immediately bring back the news.

The army started to act immediately after getting the order. According to the requirements, all traces of life were removed, and all used things were taken away, so that Jiaohe City could be restored to the way they had just arrived.

It can be regarded as God's help. The light rain after another can cover up the traces of many people's lives, which is enough to cover the recovery army.

Not long after the recovery army completely withdrew from Jiaohe County, the sentry of the Jin Army arrived near Jiaohe County, and was surprised to find that there was no one in Jiaohe County.

On the one hand, they immediately sent people into the city to check the situation, and on the other hand, they told the news to Wanyan Benjian who was advancing cautiously in the rear.

Wanyan Benjian was a little surprised when he learned that Jiaohe County was ahead of him. He opened the map and looked at it, and found that Jiaohe County was not in the direction he planned to go, and their direction was a bit off.

Then he realized it had something to do with the guide.

He immediately had the guide tied up and brought in front of him, forced him to kneel on the ground, and looked at him murderously.

"I asked you to lead the way in the north-east direction. I'm going to Qingzhou. Why did you bring us to Jiaohe? Aren't you familiar with this road?"

The guide was also very surprised at this time. He felt that they had already arrived at this place. The garrison in Jiaohe County should have discovered the Jin army and should attack. Why did Wanyan Benjian ask himself so calmly?
What about the army?
The guide couldn't figure it out, and felt very cold. He felt that either he had made a mistake, or that the recovery army had already left. In short, Jiaohe was safe for Jin Bing.

He lost all hope and felt that he was going to end here.

That being the case, what is there to hide?

"I can't wait to eat your meat and drink your blood! How can I lead you on the right path! I will only lead you to hell! Go to hell!!!"

He roared angrily, and Wanyan Benjian's back felt cold as he looked at it with eyes that wanted to eat people, so Wanyan Benjian waved his hand and asked the guards to take him down and kill him.

It is meaningless to have a guide who can't guide the way and have ulterior motives. Keeping it can only lead the army to a more dangerous place.

After killing the guide, Wanyan Benjian's problem became bigger again.

He had no one to lead the way, and the weather was very cold, and it was still raining. The cold icy rain slapped his face indiscriminately. He heard clearly that many soldiers around him were coughing and sneezing. He wanted to come here. After a freezing rain, many people will fall ill.

That would be even more detrimental to him.

In order not to cause too many people to fall ill and lose their combat effectiveness, he felt that even tonight, he had to find a place to spend the night well, and he couldn't continue to eat and sleep in the open.

There was no news from the troops behind the palace that they found the pursuers, and it took time to explore the road ahead, so no matter what, it was necessary to find a place to stay for one night.

Thinking about it this way, Wanyan Benjian felt that if Jiaohe County was safe, it might be a good choice to stay for one night.

Coincidentally at this time, news came from the vanguard sentinel cavalry team, saying that Jiaohe County was indeed an empty city, which looked like it had been empty for a long time, and it should be the same as many cities they encountered when they went south. .

It's just an empty city.

Although there is no food stock, and even the door panels of some houses have been dismantled, there are still houses that can shelter from the rain and cold, which is better than nothing.

Wanyan Ben saw that many cities like this were used as food transfer stations for the Jin army to go south, so he called his subordinates to discuss it for a while.

The subordinates also felt that there was nothing wrong with staying overnight. They spent several days camping in the wild, and some soldiers suffered from cold and developed high fevers. If this continues, there will soon be a large number of non-combat attrition.

At this time, it is really necessary for both the man and the horse to take a good rest.

So Wanyan Benjian let go, nodded, and marched towards Jiaohe County with the hungry and cold troops. At the same time, he announced that the scout cavalry should be fully dispersed, at least to ensure the safety within a radius of ten miles, and to ensure that if something happened, the Jin army in the city would be safe. Ample time to evacuate.

So many cavalry galloped away.

Wanyan Benjian let out a long sigh, heaved a sigh of relief, and led his hungry and cold subordinates into the deserted Jiaohe County.

He arranged for the troops to live in the north of the city, guarded the gates on all sides of the city, went up the city wall and inspected it, and then moved into the greenhouse prepared by his subordinates with peace of mind.

At any rate, there are many wooden buildings in the city, and some dry wood can be dismantled and used. The golden soldiers have been dispatched to find dry firewood and burn it to keep warm.

While warming up the body, he finally ate a long-lost hot meal, drank some hot water, slept peacefully, and dried his wet clothes.

Wanyan Benjian, who was staying in the warm room, could finally relax a little, sleep soundly, and wait for the next morning to wake up with the troops to evacuate Jiaohe County and continue to escape north.

On the other side, Duan Yi and Xu Ang, who soon learned that the Jin Army had entered Jiaohe County for rest, still did not know the real reason why the army arrived here, but this did not hinder their actions.

If there is an enemy, kill it, this is their principle.

At midnight that night, the rain stopped.

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was still very dark. When it got a little brighter, Wanyan Benjian was yelled by his terrified subordinates, telling him to go up to the city wall to see what happened outside.

Wanyan Ben saw that he was being pushed and carried up the city wall by his subordinates in a dizzy state, and when he looked outside, he was seven percent sleepy and immediately went eleven minutes.

The hairs all over his body stood on end.

Outside the city, there are densely packed Liberation Army that cannot be seen at a glance.

They put up the banner of "Expelling the Hulu and Restoring China", and surrounded the three floors of Jiaohe County tightly. Here is the posture that trapped Jin Bing to death.

Wanyan Ben was dumbfounded, his mind went blank, and he didn't hear anything when his subordinates shouted anxiously.

After a while, he yelled out in despair.

"Where's the sentry cavalry? Where's the sentry cavalry searching for the enemy? Why wasn't there a warning in advance!? Could it be that the bandit army fell from the sky?!"

It's not so much shouting as it is roaring.

Wanyan Ben saw that he yelled loudly, cursed at the subordinates around him, and involuntarily asked his personal soldiers to drag out and behead the three chief generals who strongly supported the settlement in Jiaohe County yesterday.

The three bewildered senior generals did not die at the hands of the Guangfu Army, but were beheaded by Wanyan Benjian just like that.

But so what?
The city was heavily besieged, the distance left for the cavalry to sprint was very short, the space was compressed to the extreme, and the advantage of the cavalry disappeared.

According to Wanyan Benjian's preliminary analysis, there are at least [-] recovery troops outside the city, which seem to be well-equipped and have a good momentum.

How to do?
His subordinates were all asking him, and the soldiers panicked.

But the most frightening thing is obviously Wanyan Ben seeing himself.

What else could he do?

Without supplements of grain and horse feed, he could only sit and eat. Soon, the horses would eat up the feed, and then lose their impact and riding value.

The soldiers can rely on eating horse meat for a long time and can defend the city, but the problem is that there is no supplement of ordnance in the city.

What do they use to defend the city?
fist?a pair of legs?Or what kind of strong will?

Thinking of this, Wanyan Benjian suddenly laughed out loud, feeling that he was very funny.

It's all here, so what city are you still guarding?

The whole army was wiped out, and they were the only ones who escaped.

There are not many troops left in the Jin Kingdom in the north. Nanjing can only protect itself, and Guanzhong is also self-protecting. The remaining Liaodong lair still has some population and troops, but facing the strong recovery army, can it be defended?
After this battle, the Guangfu Army completely established a strong structure, and the Kingdom of Jin became weak and crumbling.

Who can save him?

Could it be that he still expects Wan Yanliang to resurrect on the spot and bring someone to rescue him?
If Wanyan Liang was revived on the spot, the first thing he would do would not be to save him, but to kill him.

dead, dead.

dying here.

Wanyan Benjian did not expect that the end of his life would be here, nor would he have thought that he would approach the end of his life in such a way.

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.

So he burst into tears while laughing, crying and laughing like a schizophrenic patient.

Seeing Wanyan Benjian's appearance of laughing and crying after laughing, all the subordinates felt great fear, and felt a cold air rushing from the soles of their feet directly to the Tianling Gai, which made their hearts feel cold.

Is it finished?
No, there must be a way out!
If the recovery army outside the city is just a paper tiger!

"The horses can still charge now, and the cavalry can still fight. If we don't take advantage of this time to break through, when will we have to wait?"

Shi Morong, the general manager of the Shenguo Army, is unwilling to give up hope of survival. He believes that even at this point, there is still a way to survive.

Some military officers also went to the doctor in a hurry, holding the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and supported Shi Morong's view, so they supported Shi Morong to lead the army to attack.

The result did not surprise anyone. A group of people watched Shi Morong lead a thousand cavalry to attack on the city wall, watched the cavalry of the Golden Army fall off their horses and died under the attack of the Guangfu Army's powerful arrows, and watched them rush forward. Before the formation, there was no way to break through the formation of the Liberation Army, but it looked like it was hit head-on.

Shi Morong was not a coward, or he wanted to survive, but unfortunately, his strength was not up to the standard. During the battle, he was killed by random arrows and died under the city. Most of the thousand cavalry were killed and killed, only a few people fled back to the city in embarrassment.

The Liberation Army did not pursue, and still maintained their formation, as stable as Mount Tai.

The officers in the city despaired.

Some collapsed on the ground and wailed loudly, some sat on the ground with dull eyes, and some were unwilling to accept the reality, roaring and rushing down the city wall.

All in all, it's all living beings.

By this time, the golden soldiers in the city had also fallen into despair and fear. Knowing that they were surrounded by the recovery army, they went to the chief in fear and asked for an explanation.

The commander still wants to explain!

So the city was in chaos, and there was no life anymore.
