The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 213
The siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top.

Song Jun's successive actions caught Wanyan Zongbi a little by surprise. The spies sent out had no way of finding out how many reinforcements Song Jun had, which made him feel like he was being caught blind.

Each deployment of [-] troops would have a huge impact on the morale of the Jin army on the battlefield. What Wanyan Zongbi originally wanted was to swallow the Song army in one go. Going on, but I didn't expect that the current situation is not only not swallowing it, but the Song army's reinforcements are still increasing.

"General, the Song army is cunning. They are planning to nibble away at our army bit by bit. If our army can't be pulled out in advance, I'm afraid it will be completely bitten by the Song army at that time. The [-] army may have to be confessed here. . ” Said military advisor Heqing to Wanyan Zongbi.

Wanyan Zongbi knew that he had to make a decision at this time, he couldn't afford to gamble, because he was on the wrong team in the battle for the heir apparent, his status plummeted, and even Wanyan Chang, who had suffered several defeats, became his boss Boss, and the current [-] army is probably all his belongings. If he loses all of it by then, he may have to stand aside.

"Pass my military order, withdraw the troops!" These words were almost squeezed out by Wanyan Zongbi from between his teeth.

"General! Withdrawing the troops at this time will cause heavy losses to our army!" The right deputy stood up and objected at this time.

"The Song army is cunning. They lure the enemy deeper step by step. If our army retreats now, we can still preserve the main force. If we continue to consume it, we may not even be able to preserve the main force!" Wanyan Zongbi said unwillingly. .

"But general, as long as we persist for a while, our army may be able to break through the gate of the stone city. When the time comes to defend the city wall, we may not be afraid of the encirclement of the Song army."

"Having said that, according to reports from the spies in the city, the stone city has long been turned into an empty city. There is no one else in the city except soldiers. After our army invades, what will we eat? What will we drink? If we encircle Shicheng, within ten days, our army will be defeated!" Wanyan Zongbi said, shaking his head.

Although this sentence is very unwilling to say, it is very reasonable.

"But there are 20 reinforcements behind our army."

"Don't be stupid, if Wanyanchang knew we were surrounded, it would be no wonder that he would send troops to rescue me. In addition, the warships of the Song Army Navy have blocked the Yellow River, how can our army cross the Yellow River?" Wanyan Zongbi asked back road.

All the soldiers fell silent. Although they didn't want to accept the result, they had to admit that the reality is so cruel.

Jin Jun finally decided to withdraw.

Just like what the Jin general said, it is not so easy to retreat at this time. The Song army and the Jin army are already stalemate together. Let them go like this, biting tightly all the way.

Especially Liu Moyu.It's completely like a lunatic's style of play. Wanyan Zongbi killed a bloody path because of his high martial arts skills, while Liu Moyu did not dare to approach because of his bloodthirsty madness. This person really dared to live People who eat human flesh, even soldiers of the Golden Army who are used to seeing dead bodies, can't help but feel chills in their hearts when faced with such a situation of eating human flesh raw.

The soldiers of the Golden Army under the city were generally considered lucky. In comparison, the soldiers on the city wall were a bit unlucky. To be precise, they were actually the part of the people who were abandoned.

When Mingjin retreated, the soldiers below the city had no way to ensure that the soldiers above the city wall had retreated, and the ladders had to be withdrawn. After all, such large siege equipment should be carefully protected. If it is damaged, it is also necessary to repair it. Very difficult.

Therefore, the soldiers on the city wall had no tools to go down the city, so they could only stand on the city wall and wait to die, or jump off the high city wall, which was as high as two stories of buildings, and some Jin soldiers jumped down in a hurry Later, he accidentally broke his own leg, but he managed to save his life.

Seeing the retreat of the Jin army, the morale of the defenders on the city wall was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward all at once, while the Jin army retreated hastily. Under the situation of changing, the [-] soldiers of the Jin army who attacked the city could survive Less than one-third of them, and many of them were hacked to death by the Song army during the retreat.

Wanyan Zongbi rectified his troops. At this time, he really suffered heavy losses in this battle. After the first battle, the number dropped to 5. In fact, in terms of military strength, the Song army has already taken advantage.

There was an interception ahead, if they could not withdraw as soon as possible, when the warships of the Song Army Navy came over, they would probably be stopped on the south bank of the Yellow River.

But Wanyan Zongbi didn't dare to cross the river at this time. After all, if he chose to cross the river at this time, when the time came to cross the river just halfway through, and hit them halfway, the small boats of the Jin army would only be beaten.

But it is obviously impossible not to retreat. The Song army is coming aggressively, and the morale of his side is low. He is not an opponent at all.

Wanyan Zongbi really couldn't figure it out, when did the Jin army feel powerless when facing the Song army? In the past, when the Jin army's iron cavalry arrived, the Song army would back away, but now It's different, it turned out that the Jin army wanted to avoid the edge of the Song army.

"General, you have to cross the river, otherwise, when the Song army encircles our army, our army will be wiped out." Xie Chuanjun said to Wanyan Zongbi.

Wanyan Zongbi didn't know this truth, but at this time, he was not sure whether the crossing would be successful, "The warships of the Song Army's Navy division are coming fiercely. When our army is crossing the river, the Song Army's warships are attacking. How should our army respond?"

"General, the general observed that there is a river to the west. Our army can follow this river to the west, and should be able to bypass the attack of the Song Army navy." Xie Chuanjun said to Wanyan Zongbi.

When Wanyan Zongbi heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a map to look at it. Sure enough, he saw a river branch on the south bank of the Yellow River. If he bypassed this river branch, he should indeed be able to avoid the attack of the Song army's navy.

The situation was urgent, Wanyan Zongbi didn't care about letting the spies go to check, so he hurriedly took the remaining [-] soldiers and hid in this river branch.

But after Yan Zongbi led his army into this river branch, he regretted it, because this river branch is a dead end, that is to say, if the Song army chased in at this time, Wanyan Zongbi's army would have no way to retreat , then there is only a fight to the death.
