Qiming 1158

Chapter 918 Lin'an City is in front of you

When Xu Tong learned the news of Song Jun, Song Jun also almost got news that an unknown army was moving towards them.

Meng Chao immediately realized that it was the enemy army, so he immediately asked the number and size.

Meng Chao was still a little stunned when he learned that the opponent's number and size were similar to Meng Chao's army.

But then he guessed that this army against him should be the vanguard of the enemy's army, so the number is relatively small, and they must have a larger number of troops after them.

On his side, there are only a few thousand troops who are worried and unstable and may run faster than him at any time.

How can this battle be fought?

Meng Chao fell into deep thought.

What needs to be clear is that, as an [excellent general] who grew up in the Southern Song Dynasty system in the post-Yuefei era, Meng Chao is definitely not a Wang Ping-style wise general, nor a Zhuge Zhan-style tragic figure.

He was powerless to retreat from the enemy.

Moreover, his son was only eight years old, and he did not intend to take his eight-year-old son to the battlefield, lest the father and son would go to the underworld together to see Yama.

He wouldn't think about how to be loyal to the Southern Song Dynasty at all, he would only think about how to use his status and power to better benefit himself.

For profit, he charges ahead.

In the fight to the death, he had epilepsy on the spot.

So in the face of such a severe situation, he felt that he had only two options.

First, run.

Second, run fast.

How to choose?
Meng Chao fell into hesitation - this choice of two always makes people feel very embarrassed.

Before Meng Chao made a decision, news suddenly came from the front that the enemy army had formed a battle formation and was charging in their direction, apparently to fight them head-on.

Good guy, from this look, there is someone behind you, you are full of confidence, but there is no one behind you, or the person behind you wants to be on top...

Where is this army?

This is clearly a funeral!
After thinking about it, Meng Chao felt that if he faced him head-on, he would inevitably lose a big loss. Even if he was not hacked to death on the spot, he barely escaped and returned, because he lost his troops and lost his generals, and it is estimated that he would inevitably die.

If you die horizontally and vertically, it is better to lead the troops to run directly. If you can save the army, you might be able to run back with your life.

In order to escape better, Meng Chao also thought of a way.

Anyway, the court didn't know where the enemy army came from. At that time, it said that they had gone the wrong way. They didn't encounter the enemy army, so they let the enemy army go. After the enemy army left, everything was calm. They went back and arrived. The chances of surviving are higher.

Thinking of this, Meng Chao simply wanted to praise himself as a little expert at escape.

Then he immediately ordered the whole army to change direction. The enemy army came from the southwest, and we went to the northwest. The speed must be fast, and we must not stop!
The soldiers don't know why, but as long as they don't fight and don't work hard, they can do anything.

If you can't work hard, how can you make money if you work hard!
If you risk your life, how will the status earned by your boss who has spent so much money and kneeled down for so long work?

How to recycle the investment given for promotion?

Counting on the court's pension?
The gang of civil servants have always been geese, and then they plucked out a hair and threw them out to deceive people. The tactics were extremely bad, and the popularity was particularly ugly. It is better to expect those bandit troops to die directly on the spot. Lie to win.

And the most terrifying thing is what happened next, when that woman in the Wan family remarried with the hard-earned money she had saved by drinking the blood of the soldiers and eating the meat of the soldiers... Oh, it's a loss to my grandma's house!

Therefore, I must avoid it. The sky is falling and there is a tall man on my back. I will not go to hell, whoever loves it will go down!Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

As a result, Meng Chao led the army to start a happy escape. The entire army turned its direction, directly staggered the front of Xu Tong's troops, and walked away all the way, as if it were not the capital of the Song Dynasty at all.

And all of this, Xu Tong can't understand, he is not a psychologist, he can't figure out the real thoughts of these wonderful people.

Song Jun, who was about to collide with him, suddenly turned sharply before the two armies made contact, and then moved forward quickly, without stopping for a moment, so that Xu Tong was a little surprised when he heard the news, and he didn't know what was going on.

How did they get away?

Don't fight?

At this distance, both sides should have a clearer understanding of each other's existence. What do you mean by suddenly turning around?
Want to copy me back?

Then shouldn't you copy me at this distance?

And the whole army together?

Or are there more troops behind?

Xu Tong thought about it and felt that he couldn't take it lightly, so he sent people to continue to search for the enemy, expanding the scope to the entire Lin'an area, and then continued to stare at the movement of the Song army.

During this period of time, he asked the whole army to temporarily stop and rest, eat and drink some water, replenish physical strength, and solve personal hygiene problems by the way.

When the fight starts, I won't have time to poop on you.

Xu Tong believes that unless the Song army is cowardly and avoids the enemy, it must have their considerations. For example, the front army cuts off the back road, and the army behind him closely follows the main force that is entangled in him, trying to fight a roundabout annihilation outside Lin'an City. What.

Out of responsibility for the lives of the soldiers, Xu Tong felt the need to judge the situation.

But soon, the news that the sentry brought back confused him.

Lin'an City has been under martial law, the city gates are closed, and the top of the city is crowded with people who are arranging weapons to defend the city.

As far as they have explored so far, they have not found another established Song Army field force outside Lin'an City.

Ah this...

Xu Tong fell into deep thought.

He was thinking, is the Song army who avoided his front line just now planning to follow his path, or is it cowardly fighting to avoid the enemy?
After thinking about it, Xu Tong felt that he really shouldn't have too much expectation on the integrity of Song Jiang and Song Bing. From what he learned in the revival meeting, he could know the sinfulness of Song Jun's system and the open and secret struggles between them. .

In order for the Song army to play a beautiful coordinated battle and execute the tactical strategy perfectly, it is better to expect meteorites from the sky to annihilate all the enemies.

In such a situation, can they really play a beautiful coordinated battle?
Is that Song Army really going to copy my back way?

Xu Tong held his chin and thought for a while before making a decision.

Don't care, just go directly to Lin'an!
Just bet on the corrupt system of the Southern Song Dynasty, and bet on that army escaping cowardice and not daring to confront me head-on.

Xu Tong immediately decided to resume the march of the entire army in the form of mules and horses, and went to Lin'an City to take a tour of Lin'an City, show their presence in front of Zhao Guan's house, and then leave immediately.

Xu Tong is not a fool either. With such a high city wall, there are so many defending troops, he can't take it down, and he can't expect another Guo Jing in the city to bring the six Ding and six Jia soldiers out of the city to sing.

He just wanted to disgust Zhao Tan, disgust the entire Southern Song Dynasty court, humiliate them severely, and let them know that he is not easy to bully.

But then again, Xu Tong has understood the weakness of the Southern Song Dynasty's inland defenses along the way. As long as there are 4000 troops instead of [-], he dares to directly surround Lin'an and attack day and night, no matter whether he can fight or not. , can invite Zhao Guan's family to have a good drink.

Unfortunately, it can't be done now.

With such a regretful mood, Xu Tong came to Lin'an City with an army of mules and horses, and rushed to the suburbs of Lin'an City. When he could already see Lin'an City, he saw some military facilities outside the city, some Obstacles and the like.

But there is no Song Bing around.

So Xu Tong waved his hand, and the soldiers of the peasant army immediately stepped forward to demolish these obstacles, and the army continued to gallop forward.

Finally, Lin'an City is near.

The capital of the Southern Song Dynasty is at hand.
