Qiming 1158

Chapter 929
After getting together, Wu Gong barely managed to gather less than [-] soldiers who could wear solid winter clothes to fight, which was far from enough.

In desperation, they could only send an additional group of soldiers wearing two inferior winter coats to gather and prepare for battle.

However, this is just a swollen face and a fat man. In fact, he himself feels very hung up.

Due to the continuous drop in temperature in the past few days, the operation of the entire Song Army barracks has been maintained by less than [-] soldiers wearing solid winter clothes. Let's keep warm together.

But he underestimated the absurdity and greed of those bureaucrats, not to mention the winter clothes, even the quilts used in winter are mostly defective, and the burlap and wool inside are pitiful, and they can't achieve any warm effect at all.

Not only that, but even the tents showed signs of defective products. The effect of sheltering from the wind and rain was very poor. Many soldiers kept sneezing in the tents and felt unbearable cold. Keep out the cold.

The amount of firewood in the army is limited, and there is not much of it for the soldiers to use to keep out the cold. They can only resist the cold with their own righteousness.

But can this heroic righteousness really resist the cold?

Soldiers thought it was impossible.

They gathered together and shivered, but soldiers continued to enter the wounded barracks because of illness.

Wu Gong scolded the quartermaster again, asking why they didn't check these winter quilts and tents beforehand.

The quartermaster was still very aggrieved and told Wu Gong that he had reported it, but Wu Gong was busy sending troops and let him find a solution by himself.

He thought of a way, and sent a letter to ask the rear to prepare thick bedding and a thick military tent, but the letter was like a sinking sea without a response, and he had nothing to do.

Damn corrupt officials!
He embezzled the military spending that was supposed to buy qualified winter supplies for the army, and made his soldiers stare at the extreme cold to fight. Now they have not been defeated by the peasant army, but they will be defeated by God and these damn bureaucrats!
asshole!

Wu Gong's teeth were itchy, but there was nothing he could do. He could only provide a bowl of hot water to each of the soldiers who were about to go out to fight, so that they could warm up a little, and then go out to fight.

The formation of [-] troops was completed, and they were divided into several square formations to prepare to face the peasant army.

But as the old saying goes, if people are unlucky, they will get stuck in their teeth when they drink cold water.

They had just lined up to prepare to attack when snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky.

This day is November 29th.

Seeing a snowflake fluttering onto his palm, Wu Gong's heart, like a snowflake, kept falling and falling.

Just as snowflakes melted into water droplets, his heart also sank to the bottom, shattered to the ground and turned into scum.

It's broken, it's snowing.

This means the temperature is about to drop again.

There is an old saying that snow does not turn cold into snow, and the temperature will drop to extremely cold again in three days at the latest. If there are no enough warm clothes at that time, there are probably not many workers in his 2-strong military camp. People can move freely.

More people will get sick, and more people will get sicker and die.

It's not as happy as hibernation.

No, I can't stay here for a long time. After a long time, I'm afraid that even the surface of Poyang Lake will freeze. At that time, there will be an endless ice surface in front, and fierce chasing soldiers behind.

will be wiped out.

We must defeat this peasant army who took the initiative to challenge as soon as possible, and let them know that their combat effectiveness is still strong, and then the camera retreats and cannot continue to fight.

It is better to expect the temperature to immediately warm up to the point of spring if he expects that the group of bureaucrats can deliver the supplies he needs in time.

It is better to count on them than to count on God!
Wu Gong was in a hurry and felt he couldn't wait any longer, so he threw all his cavalry guards in one breath, and let his cronies and relatives take them all into battle, leaving only twenty people by his side to protect him.

Song Jun attacked across the board, and soon confronted Gao Meng's troops.

Gao Meng shouted the battle horn, and wanted to bring the soldiers to shame. Wu Gong needed to show his combat effectiveness through this battle, so that the peasant army did not dare to continue to test, so he did his best.

The front troops of the two sides collided fiercely, and the flesh and blood of the killing flew everywhere.

Wu Gong strived for a quick victory, so he quickly invested 400 of his personal guard cavalry. At the same time, the Peasant Army also had [-] cavalry on the battlefield to fight against the Song Army cavalry.

The result is self-evident, the peasant army cavalry, capable of riding a horse and swinging a knife, was defeated by the elite cavalry of the Song army and quickly retreated.

The cavalry was defeated, and the flanks of the Gao Meng army were threatened by the cavalry. After the cavalry charged repeatedly, they tore open a hole in Gao Meng's department, quickly squeezed in and opened a killing ring, killing the Gao Meng army. people turned their backs.

Gao Meng's eyes were red, and he couldn't retreat. He waved a long sword and brought his own soldiers to fight, desperately blocking the Song army cavalry.

Others were tall and big, and they went into battle in person. One bent forward and cut off a pair of horse legs, breaking the neck of the Song army cavalry who fell off the horse.

Under the leadership of the main general, all the personal soldiers fought bravely, using footsteps to control the cavalry, and forcibly killed more than a dozen Song army cavalrymen.

However, the cavalry of the Song army became more and more brave, and the high and fierce army was attacked from both sides, suffering heavy losses and was about to collapse.

At the critical moment, Zhao Yucheng personally brought troops to help.

He commanded two brigades of troops to outflank from the left and right flanks, preparing to encircle the Song army together with the fierce cavalry.

After seeing this stance, Wu Gong's heart was half cold, realizing that this peasant army was very tenacious, it was not defeated by the previous defeat, and it still had the courage to continue fighting.

no solution anymore.

Wu Gong could only bite the bullet and immediately ordered the rear army and the central army on his side to fight, and fought fiercely with the reinforcements of the peasant army.

I don't know if it was an illusion or not. Zhao Yucheng always felt that the main force of the Song army that followed behind was not very strong, but it was a bit like being pressed and fighting by the soldiers on his own side.

On the contrary, the army that fought fiercely against Gao Meng at the beginning was still tenacious, fighting bravely against the threat of being surrounded, killing and wounding the peasant army in large numbers.

The battlefield was in chaos.

Neither side could do anything to the other, Zhao Yucheng was anxious, and invested another 200 of his personal guard cavalry, and let these 200 people bravely attack the Song Army cavalry, not to defeat them, but to hold them back and give other troops a chance.

However, this task was also quite difficult. Wu Gong's personal guard cavalry were brave and good at fighting. Although they were not many in number, their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. Zhao Yucheng's personal soldiers were no match for them.

The battle situation became more and more anxious, but Zhao Yucheng couldn't help Song Jun.

Until the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and it could even obscure the line of sight, and the battle was completely unstoppable, the Song army and the peasant army had a tacit understanding and at the same time called Jin to withdraw their troops, retreated from each other, left the battlefield, and did not continue to pursue.

Zhao Yucheng felt that he might have misjudged the situation of Song Jun, and there was actually no major problem within Song Jun.

The peasant army fought bravely and tenaciously in this battle, but the Song army was equally brave and tenacious.

Zhao Yucheng felt more guilty. He felt that because of his misjudgment, the army had returned in vain and lost some troops. He felt that he needed to hold a meeting to do some self-criticism.

However, Wu Gong sincerely thanked the heavy snow, because if there was no heavy snow to make this hand-to-hand battle impossible, his army must be the first to collapse.

Because after returning to the barracks, many soldiers collapsed instantly and ran into the tent regardless of military discipline, apparently freezing to a certain extent.

The most important thing at the moment is no longer this war. This battle cannot go on. Whether or not you can go back alive is the most important thing.

So Wu Gong began to arrange the retreat.
