The struggle of the reborn prince

With the return of the scouts who went to investigate the source of the artillery sound and the cause of the fire in Zhaozhou, Wanyan Yuying quickly got the truth, and at the same time learned that the Song army had begun to gather.This made him wish he could crash his head on the sand beams. His nearly perfect troop withdrawal plan was threatened with failure because of some insignificant incidents, but two seemingly unrelated things were the root causes of the troop withdrawal plan being exposed.

It turned out that there were less than 500 Jin troops left in the southern camp. Their mission was to confuse the Song army and prevent their actions from being discovered by the Song army.But the psychological pressure on these left behind soldiers can be imagined, especially those of the Jin army who went out to patrol the camp. Their overreaction drew the counterattack and suspicion of the Song army, which caused the Song army to launch a test and set off a fire.The Jin army who stayed behind thought that they had been exposed, so they didn't care about fighting the fire and pretending to be garlic, so they ran away and let the fire expand.

The overall evacuation of the army and civilians in Zhaozhou City was not as smooth as expected. After all, people have lived here for many years, and their family businesses are all based here. They saw the hope of victory, and now they were suddenly forced to withdraw to the south bank, which was naturally unacceptable for a while.But under the swords and guns of the soldiers, they could only succumb, but it took time to clean up the details and arrange the small house. Despite repeated delays, it was still difficult to evacuate before sunset on time.Shi Jianu and Pucha, who were responsible for the evacuation of the soldiers and civilians in the city, were very anxious. According to the plan, they had already reached the opposite bank before sunset, but now they kept procrastinating and finally became the rear troops, and the danger factor was also high. In a little bit increase.The order they received was that once the withdrawal of troops from the surrounding camps was completed, they would be notified with fire as a signal to ignite and evacuate.Therefore, after the two discussed, they realized the deployment of manpower in various parts of the city.Collect firewood and pour oil on fire.Prepare to set fire to the city as soon as the evacuation order is received.

As it was getting dark, Shi Jianu and the two ordered people to urge those who hadn't evacuated in the city to leave quickly.While standing on the city wall, he watched groups of soldiers walking past the city and escaped from danger.He was even more eagerly looking forward to the signal from the camp outside the city so that he could catch the last bus.Just when the two were jumping in a hurry, they suddenly saw the big camp fire, and they didn't bother to take a closer look at it. The sound of the cannon was naturally ignored. Regardless of the fact that there were still people in the city who hadn't finished evacuating, they immediately sent an order to ignite the fire, and all the people in Zhaozhou city were in a hurry. Fire started.They also left the city and rushed to the river bank, who cares about those who have not left the city.

When the two Shijianu rushed to the riverside excitedly to report to the Dutong army that they had successfully completed the task of evacuating the army and civilians and burning the city, they realized how big a mistake they had made. However, the Dutong army was kind enough to stay in the camp All those who provoked and revealed the secret of the withdrawal of the army beheaded all of them, and ordered the two of them to lead the army and horses from the front team to the rear team to meet the Song army who was chasing up, so as to pay off the crime!Wanyan Yuying dealt with the culprit, but she also knew that the matter was irreversible, so she could only do her best to fight to keep the army from crossing the river.He turned and looked towards the river. The ferry was full of people, and they stepped onto the pontoon bridge in an orderly manner under the command of the guards.But because the pontoon was built hastily.They are all temporarily requisitioned boats as supports, and some wooden boards are laid on them as bridge decks, so the load-bearing capacity is small, and it is difficult to carry too many people and horses at the same time.It has to be passed one by one at a distance, which looks like a long snake wriggling slowly.And more people gathered on the river beach and waited for passage. I don't know how long it will take before all of them cross the river.If the Song army had killed so much, there would be nowhere to retreat.

"Order all the armies to abandon their luggage and speed up the passage. The teams waiting to cross the river should not gather together, and choose a suitable place to cross the river on floating horses. Cross the river as soon as possible and set up defenses." Wanyan Kuiying ordered anxiously when he saw the slow speed of crossing the river.

"As ordered, but Zhaozhou city has occupied a pontoon bridge alone, which has already caused dissatisfaction among the troops, and asking them to abandon their luggage and float across the river may cause dissatisfaction!" said the supervisor Jiagu Xienu.

"Well, it was their greed for money and delay in getting out of the city that caused such a disaster. Immediately drive them off the pontoon bridge and let the army go first!" Wan Yan Yuying said with a sneer, he was just getting angry, and just happened to those backward Zhaozhou The people became scapegoats.

There is also a reason for Wanyan Yuying to do this. Most of the troops who crossed the river were soldiers from the Mengan and Mouk tribes who enjoyed territory around the capital. However, they had gradually evolved from a military organization in the founding period to a local administrative organization. It highlights the characteristics of the integration of administration, production and military.They formed their own organizations, built camps among villages, and did not belong to prefectures and counties. Their household registration was counted, and they were awarded official land and became the Tuntian Army. This kind of Tuntian Meng'an Mouke household is actually a hereditary professional army served by the Jurchens household.

At the same time, Mou Ke and Meng An also evolved into officials exercising local administration, in charge of repairing military affairs, training martial arts, and advising on farming and mulberry. task.Meng'an Mouke households are usually engaged in agricultural production after training.If there is a war, Ding Zhuang will accept the requisition and set off with his own pommel horse equipment; his family will still stay at home to produce.

Because Mouke and Meng'an are mostly held by the Jurchens, and most of them are granted hereditary official positions by their ancestors or they have made great contributions to the country. Therefore, they are grateful to the Kingdom of Jin and loyal to the Kingdom of Jin. An and Mouke, after the founding heroes of the country, were able to gain the trust of the royal family to obtain the qualifications to station here.It can be said that they are an important force to defend the capital.

But these Meng'an and Mouk still maintain the tradition of the past. After being recruited into the army, they all bring their own saddle horses and supplies. The state is not responsible for supplying food and grass.In the past, they mostly fought abroad, and they could replenish their consumption through capture and plunder, but now they are fighting at home, and it is impossible to rely on plunder to replenish their supplies. Therefore, they have to rely on their own tribe to provide all their food. earned business.At the same time, these clan armies have to bear the double taxation of the country and the lord, which is a heavy burden.

Now for the clan soldiers to cross the river on horseback, they have to abandon all their belongings to lighten their burden, and they cannot get supplements from the country when they go back, so they can only pay for it themselves. Of course, they don’t have the courage of Zhao Li to give up the supplies of Changchun City. Therefore, it is inevitable to resist Wanyan Yuying's order to abandon the luggage.Wanyan Yuying accommodated a large number of Jiangnan tribe troops, but inevitably offended the three meng'an in Zhaozhou.

Relying on their large numbers and the backing of the Dutong army, the foreign army quickly pushed aside the Zhaozhou soldiers and civilians who were about to cross the bridge.The Zhaozhou army quit immediately, including their wives, children, and children. Everyone knows that they will be safe temporarily after crossing the river. Now these foreign troops treat them like this on their own territory. They must not bully them to death after crossing the river. Ah, immediately retaliated, there was chaos in front of the pontoon bridge, the two armies drew their swords and confronted each other, now it was completely blocked, no one should leave...

At this time, Wanyan Yuying had no energy to take care of these trivial matters. Zhaozhou City, which was burning like a small sun, illuminated the surrounding area like daylight. The situation on the scene was clear at a glance, and the torches in the distance were brightly lit, like a giant dragon circling and dancing. , was rapidly approaching where they were, and he immediately realized that the Song army had dispatched all of them to intercept him from crossing the river, and the war was inevitable.

However, the current situation is not good for the Jin army. They are on the way to retreat and are in a passive state.However, the [-] troops of the Song Army marched in a group, even if the guards turned back to face the battle, they would be quickly crushed by the Song Army brigade, but it just felt like they were stunned, and they couldn't stop the Song Army's pursuit. Will cause unnecessary casualties to oneself.If you gather a large group of people and horses to fight in formation, you will fight with your back and have no depth and no room for maneuver. If you fail, you will only be driven into the river to feed the bastard, and you will lose your original intention of preserving the vitality to defend the capital.

Wanyan Yuying understands that if they want to have both their cakes and their cakes, the only way is to guard the Daqing Mountain under their feet, which is the only dangerous pass they can rely on.But this also made him very emotional. Perhaps the ancestors of the Jurchens couldn't bear to see their descendants lose here, which made Wanyan Huying think that he might be chased by the Song army because of leaking his whereabouts when he made the retreat plan. Killing, so that the defensive force was deployed on the sand beam in advance, so there was no rush.

People say '30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi', but Wanyan Gouying has undergone such a big change in just ten days.Ten days ago, the Song army occupied this sand ridge to block their own army. In order to seize this sand ridge, I had to fight bloody rivers, but the Song army defended it and saved the entire army from being wiped out; but now it is offensive and defensive. , I changed from the offensive side to the defensive side, in order not to be wiped out, I had to guard this place that made me feel infinitely sad.I just don't know if I can stop the Song army's security army.

In order to avoid the lesson of the Song army occupying Shaliang because the army defending Shaliang was overwhelmed by the defeated forward last time.Wanyan Yuying specially reserved a passage in a depression, and set up obstacles such as Juma and Lujiao in other places, forcing them to follow the path they had drawn.And there are a lot of rolling logs piled up on both sides. If the Song army follows them, they can push down the rolling logs and smash them to death and seal the gap.

"Du Tongjun, the Song Army Brigade has approached our rear guard, and the progress is very fast. Do you want to send troops to respond?" Yi Sandantu came over to report at this time.

"Well, there is no need to send people to respond, let the guards speed up and quickly pass through the Shaliang. Make the Perak Army ready, once the Song Army enters the range, they will open fire immediately, and let them taste our power!" Wanyan Kuiying nodded and said, This time he not only wanted to protect the army, but also made the Song army pay the price.

"Yes, the commanding army!" Yi Sandantu cheered up after hearing this, he turned around and waved the command flag, and the golden army on the sand beam immediately removed the cover, revealing a row of black hole muzzles...
