At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 191 Racing

"General, you have traveled twenty miles. Should you rest for a while and then send someone to inform the other side?" Shan Yuanchang said.

At this time it was getting dark, and seeing that the soldiers were exhausted, Meng Zhishao ordered to rest.

Because we came out in a hurry, we didn't carry any luggage. Even though the weather was still very cold, we could only rest in the wild. Fortunately, with the fire rising, it wasn't that difficult.

Meng Zhishao wanted to go to Wuchang County first, but was persuaded by Shan Yuanchang.

"The general's merit lies entirely in the army. If he goes alone, he will be underestimated by Su Liuyi. What's the future?"

"I'm afraid Ezhou will send troops to chase." Meng Zhishao always felt that it was inappropriate.

If Zhenjin didn't react to such an open and honest defection, Nanchen and everyone else would have to be careful. Under the chain reaction, they might be doomed.

"With the Yangtze River cut off, we cannot return to the north. If Zhenjin retreats as soon as possible, there will be no worries about the way back. Now that Yueyang has been lost, Wang Shi will connect with Liling and cut off the retreat route to the southwest. To the east is Wang Shi's defense line, which is difficult to break through.

If Zhenjin sends a large army to pursue us, even if we are defeated, we will still have the power of delay. When the cages on all sides are formed, Zhenjin will not be able to escape with his wings. Shan Yuanchang said.

Meng Zhishao heard these words more than once, which was why General Yuan persuaded Zhenjin to retreat.

Trapped in the bulge of the word "ji", if I don't hurry up and run away, I won't be able to run away even if I want to.

However, the young and energetic Zhen Jin had not withstood the severe beatings from society, so he refused to admit defeat and insisted on changing his ways, thus wasting three days in vain.

Just as Meng Zhishao was heating dry food and preparing to eat, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly came.

"Enemy attack!" Meng Zhishao got on his horse and was about to gather his troops when He Wei rushed in first.

Chop melons and vegetables.

At the age of 16, He Wei accompanied Zhang Rou to the audience. Kublai Khan felt that his father had died in the army, and was granted the prefect of Yizhou. Soon after, his brother He Ying died in battle, marched thousands of households, and guarded Bozhou.From the siege of Fancheng, Xia Gui led his naval division to come to the rescue. He set fire to Beiguan and advanced on He Wei's camp. He led his troops to fight vigorously and took the lead, but Xia Gui was defeated.

With such a presence, Meng Zhishao's troops were unprepared and immediately collapsed.

Meng Zhishao was so discouraged that he beat his horse and galloped wildly. He Wei caught up and took the bow in his hand.

When the culprit was executed, He Wei made a sudden sentry call, withdrew his troops and went back.

At this time, the main army had left the city, and the people in the city and the soldiers who did not want to leave were looting the storehouses, and it was a mess.

He Wei didn't care, and went to catch the real gold after a good meal.

After chasing all night, they caught up with the main force at dawn.

Ezhou had 1 soldiers. Meng Zhishao took [-] with him. More than [-] soldiers who did not want to leave gave up, leaving [-]. The [-] horse troops were all one person and two horses, and there were [-] Han soldiers from the north and [-] soldiers from the south. They were all elites, so they traveled sixty miles in one night.

"Your Highness, it's still too slow." He Wei said: "Even if we travel eighty miles a day, it still takes nine days to reach Tanzhou. Today, the Song Army has arrived in Yuezhou, and it will arrive in Xiangyin in two days, and reach Tanzhou in three days. The major general who is short of soldiers has not set the sky thunder, and it is the limit to resist it for a day or two.

To ensure safety, please ask the marshal to lead the cavalry troops to protect His Highness and go first. I will lead most of the troops behind and move slowly. I can also gather troops from various places to block the pursuers. "

"Your Highness, let's move on without further delay," Ali Hague advised.

Failure is not terrible. When he was beaten so badly in Qingtian County, Kublai Khan didn't punish him much. If he sent the prince away, even if he could escape, Kublai Khan would not spare him lightly.

"With so many loyal and brave men, how can I bear to abandon them?" Zhenjin still held his breath.

He Wei said: "His Royal Highness went to Tanzhou to gather soldiers and horses from all over the country. If the minister is blocked, he can come to respond.

If Your Highness does not leave, the emperor and his ministers will be trapped here, and no one will come to save them, and they will surely die. "

"Jia Juzhen is talented and will come to the rescue." Zhenjin said.

"Jia Pingzhang is very good at governing the people and recruiting troops. He can also make plans, but he can't lead troops into battle. Even if he goes out by force, he will just be defeated by the enemy." Tumuge'er said.Zhenjin hesitated for a moment, but listened to the advice and left first under the protection of Ali Hague.

He ran with all his strength, and those who couldn't keep up stayed behind. Prepare grain and fodder ships in various cities along the way. As long as the real gold crossed the river, they set off and left. It only took four days to reach Tanzhou City (Changsha). After careful calculation, it turned out that Travel two hundred miles a day.

Jia Juzhen took Zhenjin and said: "Tanzhou is located in the east of the river. If the Song army blocks the waterway, the matter will be over. I have rushed to repair the pontoon bridge. Your Highness, please go to Xiangtan to stay temporarily."

"Even if the Song army dares to bypass Yuezhou, can they still bypass Xiangyin? As long as they are blocked for a day or two, they can regain their strength and go again in no time." Zhenjin hesitated.

Running wildly all the way, four thousand horses were exhausted. Most of the armor of the heavy cavalry was abandoned, and more than half of the troops were left behind. Zhenjin believed that the losses were too great.

"Your Highness, Xiangtan is not far away and will be there in one day." Ali Hague advised.

"Control Xiangtan. If you advance, you can stop the enemies of Liling. If you retreat, you can go to Sichuan." Jia Juzhen advised: "Your Highness must not make any mistakes, otherwise the Han people will lose their backbone and the country will be shaken and in danger."

Zhenjin hesitated again and again, but finally listened to the advice and set off on the road immediately after the whole army had eaten.

Zhenjin was the first to cross the river, and Ali Hague was behind. Just after passing [-] riders, a rider rushed from the lower reaches and shouted: "The Song Army has arrived five miles downstream~"

"Is Song Jun coming?"

"No, run away."

"Quick, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The Yuan soldiers on the bridge immediately crowded together, pushing each other, and people kept falling into the water.

"Calm down, calm down~The enemy is still far away!" Zhenjin wanted to maintain order.

"Your Highness, it's too late, hurry up!" Tumu Ge'er took the reins of the real gold mount, turned around and left. The five or six hundred riders who had crossed the river immediately followed.

Seeing the crowd on the bridge, Ali Haiya smiled bitterly and said: "Pingzhang, follow me to Hengzhou to cross the river."

Jia Juzhen shook his head and said: "I am responsible for guarding the land, how can I shoulder the responsibility of the emperor and the prince? The marshal will leave, and I will guard the city to serve the country."

At the beginning, the two of them cooperated seamlessly and swept the invincible opponents in Hunan. Their relationship was very good. Ali Haiya didn't want to see Jia Juzhen die.

"If you want to resist the Song army, winning the hearts of the people is the key. We can still fight. Only Pingzhang can help His Highness. We must not risk our lives." Ali Hague advised.

"Forget it, the two countries are fighting over one city and one land." Jia Juzhen sighed.

Ali Hague gathered the cavalry that had not yet reached the bridge, ignored the soldiers in the city, and rushed up the river in a hurry to Hengzhou.

Just as the two set off, a fleet appeared on the river.

On the leading ship, the commander Wu Xiaoan looked at the situation carefully and said: "Hurry up, hurry up, let the real gold guy escape."

"Control, it is better to destroy the pontoon bridge and not let those cavalry soldiers escape." Qiu Liang said.

"Instruct all ships to fire cannons to destroy the pontoon bridge. Don't let a single Yuan soldier escape." Wu Xiao'an ordered.

Immediately, each ship turned its direction, facing the pontoon, and opened fire one after another.

There was a roar, water columns rose into the sky, and within a moment, the pontoon bridge was blown into more than ten sections.

Looking at the bridge, there was not a single Yuan soldier, they were all flopping in the water.

"Drive over, salvage the war horses, and kill those who resist!" Wu Xiaoan ordered.

Zhenjin has already crossed the river and ran away. He can only stop him by rushing to Yuanjiang River. This is not his mission.
