King of Song

Chapter 645

Under the city of Yanzhou, Wang Zhongzheng was finally deflated.

The obvious facts are in front of you, the rout of Shizhou and Xiazhou is a trick of the Xixia people to lure the enemy.Pity him for his arrogance, frivolity and complacency, and he rashly sent troops, and now he finally has to pay the price.

Although I felt a little remorse in my heart, it was still a cooked duck—a tough mouth!
Wang Zhongzheng refused to admit that he was wrong, and repeatedly stated that it was the Xixia people who defended stubbornly, so it was not easy to break the city.

If you want to save face and suffer, you will naturally not be able to persevere to the end.

Facing the plight of lack of food and clothing, the soldiers have reached their limit and are on the verge of collapse.The resistance of the Xixia people is still fierce, and the counterattack is getting stronger and stronger.

Under such circumstances, Wang Zhongzheng couldn't hold on any longer, he decided to follow Liu Rengui's advice and retire!Until now, he still used such high-sounding rhetoric just to protect his self-esteem, which was even more fragile than a glass heart.

It's just that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the situation is no longer what it used to be.If at the beginning, after discovering the abnormality, he followed Liu Rengui's advice and evacuated immediately, the chance of success would undoubtedly be greater.

But now, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is declining sharply, and the resistance of the Xixia people is getting stronger and stronger. It is not easy to break through.

Wang Zhongzheng didn't care so much, he had a vague feeling that if he continued to stay under the city of Yanzhou, the entire army might be wiped out and his life might be lost.The only way to survive at this time is to break out of the encirclement, as long as they can withdraw, everything is easy to talk about.If you save your life, you can also save your face.

The charges of Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er's failure to rescue or delay in rescue will never go away. The responsibility for the failure of the Yanzhou war can all be pushed on them.Officials can use this to question them and attack King Qin, so they won't be harsh on themselves.Although the methods and results are slightly different, they can achieve the same effect.

Therefore, even if Xixia soldiers started to counterattack, intercept, or even encircle, he still had to do everything possible to break through.Although simple, it is not impossible.Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Song Army was declining, under the threat of hunger, cold and death, their desire to survive became stronger, and they naturally became braver in battle.

In this way, they rushed out of the Xixia encirclement and broke through to the Baicaoping area in the east of Yanzhou City.

This move surprised Liang Yibu: "Song Jun actually killed it, I can't think of it!"

"The rabbit bites people in a hurry. It must be that idiot Wang Zhongzheng is afraid of death and runs away in a hurry!" The Xixia soldiers were very disdainful of this.

Suo Jiusi said: "Prime Minister of the State, should we allow the last general to pursue him?" He had already felt itchy, and when he encountered such an opportunity, he immediately asked for his life.

"Okay!" Liang Yibu knew that if the Song army broke through, he had to change his strategy a little bit, and ordered: "Jiusi leads the troops to pursue, but there is one thing, just stop the Song army from retreating, it can cause them panic , but don’t kill them all, you understand?”

"Understood!" Suo Jiusi's mind was like a mirror, knowing that the Prime Minister had big plans.

"The bottom line is Ezhi Valley and Shendui Station. Don't let Wang Zhongzheng's troops cross half a step, and then wait there. You will meet your opponent and have a tough battle to fight!" Liang Yi said in a deep voice: "You go first , the truth will come soon!"

"Yes!" Suo Jiusi's face beamed with joy, he had been aggrieved for too long, and finally he was able to fight back, feeling elated.

Arriving at Baicaoping, Wang Zhongzheng just breathed a sigh of relief, before he had time to rest, the cavalry of the Xixia people came chasing after him, led by the entire general Suo Jiusi.

Wang Zhongzheng had no choice but to break out instead of retreating.In order to survive, it can be said that it is at all costs.He immediately mobilized the army to resist desperately, so as not to be surrounded and intercepted by the Xixia people again.

"Ask Liu Rengui to come and let him lead his troops to break the rear and cover the retreat of the army!" Wang Zhongzheng thought of his deputy Liu Rengui, but the purpose was to let him break the rear and cover his escape.

But who is willing to be a scapegoat?Liu Rengui is not stupid, under such a situation, all the soldiers who have broken the rear will definitely be wiped out.Liu Rengui, who was already furious, felt even more upset.

You, Wang Zhongzheng, are being stupid. You have put your army in a dangerous situation, and you don't want to repent.Now let me go to die for my own escape?What a beautiful idea!

Liu Rengui was furious, in the face of life and death, he didn't care about his status, let alone Wang Zhongzheng being a celebrity in front of the officials.Simply, don't do anything, if that's the case, then you come and break the queen for me!Life and death are the result of your own destiny.

Liu Rengui immediately left the battlefield with thousands of troops from his headquarters and fled eastward quickly.

Wang Zhongzheng was very angry when he got the news, he really wanted to kill Liu Rengui at this moment.As a lieutenant general, he ignored the chief general and ran away. It was really daring, and he must follow the military law when he turned around.

But the premise of all this is to be able to or break out of the encirclement. While Wang Zhongzheng cursed, it was more sorrow and fear.The Xixia people's attack became more and more intense, and Liu Rengui's escape made the troops stretched out in an instant, and the most important thing was to shake the morale of the army.

The morale of the army, which was already slack, was suddenly in turmoil. The soldiers were still fighting together and seeking escape together.But after Liu Rengui left like this, the soldiers only had a strong desire to escape, so how could they care about the so-called cooperation?All scattered and fled, trying to survive.

But the more this is the case, the more there is no way out.The Song army's resistance was chaotic and gradually failed, and more and more people were killed or injured by the Xixia people's blades.

Wang Zhongzheng clearly felt the fear of death, and his whole body was terrified.But at this time, the desire to survive is very strong, so desperately wanting to escape is also a bit like a Jedi counterattack.

After Song Jun paid a very heavy price, he led the army to rush out and rushed to Ezhi Valley.Here, Song Jun got a temporary respite.If they wanted to break through the encirclement, they couldn't. The Xixia people blocked the road to the east, and the Song army fell into a desperate situation.Fortunately, Xixia has not attacked for the time being, and can linger on for a while.

Wang Zhongzheng is furious!He did not examine himself, nor was he willing to admit his mistakes.It was claimed that Yanzhou could not be attacked for a long time because of Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er's untimely rescue, and he completely forgot Liu Rengui's proposal to wait for reinforcements and attack together.As for the responsibility for the attack in the retreat, it was shifted to Liu Rengui's escape.

Right, that is it!

Wang Gonggong also hinted in his heart that he quickly organized a set of strict rhetoric, and reported it to the court in this way, so that he could clear all responsibilities.

But, is there still a chance to play an official role?Facing the siege of the Xixia people and the desperation of lack of food and clothing, Wang Zhongzheng wanted to cry but had no tears.Only by constantly cursing Liu Rengui, Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er can I feel a little better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wang Zhongzheng didn't know that the current situation of these people was not very good!
Although Liu Rengui didn't escape first, he didn't escape.

He was only more than ten miles faster than Wang Zhongzheng, but he was intercepted by the Xixia army. Thousands of people desperately broke through, but none of them left, and the entire army was wiped out.

"Wang Zhong is wronging me!" Liu Rengui shouted when he was about to die, his eyes were round and full of resentment, and then he fell silent, dying with regret.

Suo Jiusi looked at the corpses of Song soldiers all over the floor, and said with a sneer, "The Prime Minister strictly ordered that no fish slip through the net, how can we not obey?"

The remnants of Wang Zhongzheng have been surrounded, they are the turtles in the urn, so don't worry.Now he is going to face his real opponent, the Zhong Family Army has arrived!
Facing Wang Zhongzheng's aggressive advance underestimating the enemy, while Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er reported to King Qin, they were also quite embarrassed.It is very likely that there is a trap ahead, and they cannot sit idly by.

Although I hope in my heart that Wang Zhongzheng is finished, it is best to never return.But the accompanying army is all Song soldiers, how can you watch him go to die without saving him?I am even more worried that a little carelessness will cause the entire line to collapse and affect the entire battle situation.

At the same time, he couldn't make excuses to avoid the official Zhao Xu from making trouble for himself and King Qin.Therefore, rescue is still necessary.

For specific actions, Zhong Er's brother Zhong Yong led the army to rescue, Zhe Kexing was in the middle to support, and Zhong Er himself stood firm in Yinzhou to prevent accidents.

Zhong Yong came, but the speed was a little slow because he had to deliver grain and grass for Wang Zhongzheng.After staying in Xiazhou, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Wang Zhongzheng's long-term attack on Yanzhou was fruitless, food and grass were not available, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.In such a situation, defeat is inevitable.

Zhong Yong is also a public mind, wanting to respond to Wang Zhongzheng in time.When Naihe approached Yanzhou, he was suddenly ambushed by the Xixia army.

At this point, it can finally be concluded that the retreat of Shizhou and Xiazhou was Xixia's strategy to lure the enemy into depth.

Wang Zhong has hit the nail on the head, most likely he will never return!Zhong Yong informed Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er while continuing to advance.Even though he knew that there was an ambush from the Xixia people ahead, he still didn't back down.

Zhong Yong knew that Wang Zhongzheng would definitely retreat, and if the two armies could meet, the chances of a joint breakthrough would be greater.If we retreat now, all previous efforts will be in vain, and it will come true.In this way, the Xixia people can be kept near Yanzhou, Zhe Kexing and his younger brother can arrange it calmly, and perhaps Xiazhou and Yinzhou can be kept.

As for the danger of this battle, Zhong Yong didn't think much about it. He has been in the northwest for many years, half his life with swords and swords, and he has long put life and death aside.

Chong Yong is very brave and has a good reputation for strategy. He is an experienced veteran.All the way west, he was very careful, avoided several ambushes from Xixia people, and successfully arrived at Shendui Station!
So far, it is difficult to move forward!
Here, Zhong Yong met Suo Jiusi, a general of Xixia.Although he commanded well and the soldiers fought bravely, they still couldn't move forward.

It can be seen that the Xixia people have deployed heavy troops, and it is difficult to break through.The terrain here, as well as the specific conditions of the battlefield, are very cruel. Apart from reckless fighting, there are no other opportunistic strategies available.

Zhong Yong had no choice but to try his best. For now, he could only retreat, otherwise he might be in some danger.But at this moment, he received a message——Wang Zhongzheng's headquarters was in Ezhi Valley, thirty miles west of Shendui Station.

Zhong Yong hesitated!
