Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 325 The Defense of Tokyo 13
He Rusuo was really angry. The Song army was in a formation, interlocking and interlocking. It was still an annoying circular formation. The cavalry entered, but entered another dead end. Facing attacks from all directions, people were at a loss as to what to do.

He had to join the Alixi battle, but with little success, and he had no regular heavy infantry, so he could only stare blankly.

What surprised him the most was the sudden appearance of the Song Army's cavalry and the defeat of Gao Sheng's 'Bronze Head' Meng'an, which was beyond his expectation.He was contemptuous of the Han army, but he knew Gao Sheng's ability. Lord Silang's powerful generals were not only able to charge forward, but also good at using troops. They were not Han people from the North, but people from the Central Plains.

He was actually defeated, he couldn't believe it, he didn't seem to have heard that Gao Sheng had failed, what happened?

Before he had time to think about it, he was so rich that he knew that Gao Sheng's failure put him in a dangerous situation.He is also quite a bachelor, don't look at him recklessly leading seventy cavalry to attack and scattered thousands of Song troops. It was all based on sudden attacks and strong assault forces. When the horse infantry joined forces, his troops fell into Static, it's obvious that if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave, only a fool will fight to the end.

Under his decisive order, the Jin Army cavalry began to break out of the encirclement in the east. Since the Song Army's formation was transformed into a small circle formation, the east wing guard troops no longer existed.

Originally, the cavalry of the Golden Army were beaten terribly. Don’t look at the small circles, but you are in all directions. Don’t talk about guarding against cold arrows that appear at any time.They had never encountered this kind of tactics before, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all. When they heard the order to withdraw their troops, they broke through the encirclement eastward one by one as if they were alive.

Of course, Qiu Fu couldn't make the Golden Army cavalry do what they wanted. You can come and leave whenever you want, and treat this place as your home!With his order, the Song army's formation changed again, and the defensive formation was restored, directly involving some cavalry and Alixi who had no time to retreat, and they slaughtered for a while!

Wang Xiu's cavalry finally joined forces with the army, marking the victory of this battle. Gao Sheng and He Lusuo failed completely. Even if they want to gather troops and horses to fight again, they have to weigh it. The two defeated soldiers of Meng'an have to deal with the momentum Ruhong's generals, regardless of victory or defeat, do you have the ability to give it a try?
"Uncle, I'm not late, am I?" Wang Xiu was just joking when he saw Qiu Fu, and he was obviously in a good mood.

Qiu Fu was obviously very dissatisfied, he glanced at the dust in the distance, and said lightly: "Unfortunately, they ran away, and only stopped some miscellaneous fish."

"That's right, we defeated their two thousand men's teams." Wang Xiu used the official titles of the Song Dynasty to the Jin Army's military organizations, which generally have the titles of ten thousand men's team, thousand men's team, and hundred men's team.

Qiu Fu was noncommittal, but ordered to speed up the strangulation of the remnants of the Jin army and end the battle as soon as possible.

"The horses of the Tiansi Supervisor have been saved. Uncle can choose the horses at will, and then withdraw and deploy for defense."

"Withdraw?" Qiu Fu looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, seeming to understand.

"Take as much as you can. Anyway, there are enough supplies and vehicles, and the ones that can't be taken away are burned. Mutuogang is located too far ahead, and we will only suffer if we defend here." Wang Xiu didn't say it clearly, but his meaning was very clear. That is not to be the leader, but to preserve the power of the 78 generals.Another important point is that the war horses and food must be taken away, and those that cannot be brought will be burned. Of course, they will retreat and put the responsibility on the Jin army.

Qiu Fu's face was serious, and finally he let out a long sigh.

Wang Xiu was also in a heavy heart. This Uncle Qiu had his own ideas, and the idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor and serving the country was deeply rooted. If Tian Sijian was not destined to fall into the hands of the Jin army, he would definitely oppose his plundering of war horses.

In his view, loyalty to the emperor and serving the country and helping the world are completely two concepts, and they are also the unspoken ideas of the scholar-official class. What I am loyal to is not the country of your Zhao family, but the dynasty of the world. The family country and the world are completely two concepts .It seems that some key people still need to step up replacement, otherwise it will become a fatal shortcoming at any time.

With a flash of thought in his mind, he said slowly, "Uncle, you said Brother Gao Wu failed in the martial arts competition, will you grit your teeth and try again?"

Qiu Fu was startled, but didn't think too much, nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's good. Let's prepare for a battle. We should be able to withdraw from the battlefield tomorrow." Wang Xiu looked at the billowing smoke and smelled the blood in the air and said leisurely.

"What's going on?" Qiu Fu keenly sensed something was wrong.

"I saw Brother Gao Wu!"

That day, He Lusuo and Gao Sheng retreated, Wu Shu didn't blame them, his goal was Kaifeng City, Tiansi Prison was already in his pocket, sooner or later.

He Lusuo took the initiative to ask for a battle, and led [-] riders to wade across the water to seize the Bianhe Royal Bridge, defeat the defenders in one fell swoop, and seize the road for the army.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wushu led three thousand cavalry and arrived in Kaifeng City in a show of force.On the top of the city, the Song army officials saw the golden horse galloping and rolled up the dust all over the sky, and they couldn't help looking at each other. This is the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty that the capital issued a warning.

Naturally, the imperial court panicked, and the people in the city fell into a great panic. After all, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, no barbarians from the north had ever invaded the capital. He said that those were all topics after dinner, and had little to do with him.

The peaceful world of more than a hundred years of the great celestial dynasty was shattered. When people woke up in the morning, the Jurchen army was outside the city, and the war had spread to their side. They couldn't help but feel inexplicably panicked.

The people in the city were panicked and didn't know why, the main force of the Jin army rushed south, and the inseparable commander went to Moutuogang. He had heard that Wushu had failed to capture Moutuogang, so he ordered that Chuqi must be taken, and the Tiansi Supervisor treated him too much. The important thing is whether a large amount of ordnance and food can maintain the offensive force.

"How is it, do you have confidence?" It was night, Wushu summoned Gao Sheng and He Lusuo, and he decided to launch an attack at night, and let Wu Libu enter tomorrow.

"Moutuogang is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are 78 generals defending it to death. I am afraid it will be difficult to capture it in the short term. From what I know about Wang Dalang, he will never surrender. Even if he cannot hold it, he will burn the food and slaughter the horses. "Gao Sheng was worried.

"That kid, really impressed me." Wu Shu smiled, recalling that scene back then, he never thought that the boy he didn't care about would become a formidable opponent in just seven or eight years.Thanks to Gao Sheng's suggestion, he collected information about Wang Xiu and didn't surprise him too much. This kid is a ruthless character!Gao Sheng's worry is very likely, he can even kill tens of thousands of people, let alone war horses.

However, according to Guo Yaoshi's information, the importance of Moutuogang to the Jin army is self-evident. Both the terrain and the rations and horses are the guarantee for attacking Kaifeng City.

"Wang Xiu just won a game, and they are not on a firm footing. The night attack will definitely catch him off guard." He Lusuo was very dissatisfied with Wang Xiu.

"Night attack, let Han Yuanji's meng'an go up again. I'm trying to adjust my pace. I don't want to defeat Wang Xiu. I'll take down the Tiansi Prison first." Wu Shu said decisively.

Knowing Wu Shu's temper, Gao Sheng did not change the military order, and he desperately went to complete it. He took a deep breath, his eyes were determined.

There was panic in the city, Qin Moyan and Wen Xijun went home early at night, and even Qin Xianrong came over.

"It's too scary. The Jurchens are all outside the city, and I don't know what happened to the officials?" Qin Xianrong is generous and true, but she is a little girl after all, and the invasion of foreign enemies is just outside the city. It is inevitable that she will be afraid, and she doesn't pay attention to her own worries. Wang Xiu.

"That's right! I heard from the fourth sister Zhang next door that the Jurchens are brutal. They kill people and eat human flesh. They spend the night outside of the city."

Youqin Moyan was more careful, and calmly said: "Don't worry, the strong winds and waves have come, and you can still be afraid of these barbarians." She has experienced the defense of the Liguojian, and many things are very ordinary. It's so easy to be beaten down, it's like nothing if you don't see your brother.

Qin Xianrong also experienced the Li Guojian war, but he was worried that Wang Xiu did not consider his own environment, and Youqin Moyan said that he felt relieved.However, thinking that he was blatantly worried about Wang Xiu, with Youqin Moyan's intelligence, wouldn't it?Sometimes it's one thing to understand, but it's embarrassing to say it, and I can't help feeling a little guilty.

"Okay, the men are busy with their work, we sisters just wait quietly." Youqin Moyan suppressed other thoughts, and assumed the posture of a doctor.

"Third sister can stay here tonight! We sisters haven't been together for a long time." Wen Xijun was worried and began to laugh.

Qin Xianrong's pretty face flushed slightly, and she rolled her eyes at Wen Xijun.

Outside the city, Moutuogang Dazhai.

Wang Xiu and Qiu Fu looked at the map. The officials outside were busy, and the horses were transported away in groups, and there were not many left.

It has to be said that Feng Yuan's coordination and command ability is very strong. More than 3000 people did what [-] people did, and they did it in a logical manner.

"Their focus is on Kaifeng City. If we can stick to Moutuogang, it will be like a nail that prevents Jurchen from besieging Kaifeng City with all its strength. No matter how great the sacrifice is, it is worth it." Qiu Fu still did not give up, his thinking was always It revolves around Zhao Guan's family.

Wang Xiu didn't tell the truth, thousands of soldiers faced tens of thousands of powerful elites, and only fools did their best. He always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Just as Qiu Fu talked about his interest, seeing that he can persist until the arrival of King Qin's army, 78 will be the first to attack, what an honor it is!A hurried foot stepped in and said loudly: "My lord, there are large groups of captive cavalry in the north and east. It seems that there are tens of thousands of cavalry, and they seem to be gathering."

Qiu Fu was startled, and immediately remembered Wang Xiu's judgment. It seemed that the Jurchens were going to fight at night.It is not easy to stick to it when nearly ten thousand troops are mobilized at one time!Is it true that the Jin army is bound to win against Moutuogang?

"It's time to come, it's finally here." A smile flashed in Wang Xiu's eyes.
