Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 519
Qu Duan saw that the situation was not good, but he did not expect that Nianhan was so skilled, and the guards were all in the tiger. The Jingyuan horse army, which he was proud of, was also frightened. It was difficult to win in a short time, and the target was close at hand. , The fighter plane has been lost, and the consequences are disastrous.

He is also a decisive person. Seeing that the golden army is united in horses and horses, he will not be able to leave if he does not leave.Adventures are adventures, hopeless things, he would rather not do them, turn the horse's head decisively, and ring the golden gong for retreating.

The rise of Wu Linsha is about to rush to Nianhan, his eyes are full of greedy light, that head is the shortcut to his official career, the bargaining chip of Jiedushi, he should fight hard with his life.When the golden gong sounded, I was really unwilling, but the military law was ruthless, so I had to control the cavalry to retreat while fighting.

Nianhan is not a fool, he does not pursue and fight hard, he is not a fierce general who charges into battle, but a commander in command of the whole army, there is no need to fight a meaningless battle.Watching Qu Duan lead the army to retreat, he also felt a wave of fear. If Qu Duan insisted on not retreating and fought to the death with the mentality of dying together, the whole army would be wiped out, but he couldn't say whether he would be spared. , back quickly.

However, the purpose of fighting is to win. Qu Duan's arrogance angered him, and he decided to devote all his troops to completely resolve the battle in the shortest possible time.

On the frontal battlefield, Liu Kai was really miserable, and the desperate offensive of the Jin army increased his pressure sharply.Brother Yinshu's counterattack was swift and violent. The Song army's right wing had been divided into several pieces. If there were not narrow passages between the various ministries, the general situation would have been over long ago, and Qiu Yun was still leading his troops to fight to the death.

However, the Song army was also very lucky. The Jedi counterattack of the Jingyuan horse army allowed the Jin army reserve team to go into battle ahead of time and hold back thousands of riders. They may not know that it was Qu Duan's decisive advance and retreat that made Nianhan Can no longer be calm.

Qu Duan avoided the Jin Army Brigade, but because the Jin Army Central Army Reserve entered the battle, he was unable to return to the rear army, so he had to lead his army across the battlefield to join Liu Kai, and ordered the rear army to slowly move closer to the right wing, preparing for a decisive battle.

The failure of the attack on Nianhan made him realize the reality that the battle had failed strategically.The most important thing now is to regroup the troops, support the right wing to annihilate the left wing of the Jin army, ensure the initiative on the local battlefield, and force the Jin army to admit the draw. There is no other way.

It is still divided between the central army and the right wing. In case the left wing is defeated by the Jin army, it is likely that he will not have time to join forces.

However, he was amazed at the fighting power of the Golden Army cavalry. Tens of thousands of cavalry were fighting against the elite Western Army of [-] to [-]. The government accused him, and he couldn't even face Wang Yuan.

"It seems that I should disarm and return to the fields!"

Liu Kai glanced at the depressed Qu Duan, and said lightly: "Taiwei, take tens of thousands of sons out first, there is still a glimmer of hope."

Qu Duan looked at Liu Kai in surprise, savoring the faint sarcasm, wanting to be angry but not knowing how to get angry.

"Wang Xianggong fought a lot with the captives. It seems that he dispatched troops cautiously, and the strategy of joining forces from both sides is very correct." Liu Kai didn't care about Qu Duan's ugly face.

Qu Duan's face was very ugly, but he had to admit that he was too risky. If he really failed, the Great Song Dynasty might retreat to the upper Huaihe River and the Guannei line, and the strategic situation would be as bad as it could be.

Jing Bo had long been blood-stained in his battle robe, wearing five wounds. If it wasn't for his excellent armor, he would have been martyred for the country, but he still led the officials to fight back, repelling Brother Yinshu's attacks again and again.Although the casualties of the Eleventh General had reached more than five layers, he almost lost his combat effectiveness, but he still fought to the death and saw the weakness of the golden cavalry's plundering.

"The horse army intercepts head-on, and Bu Bazi cuts off the horse's legs behind him, and he will surely break the bandit's raid."

It seems that the experience he summed up has no chance to be practiced. The counterattack of the Jin army is too sharp, and the fronts of the Song army are shrinking. No one has seriously implemented the military order.

Seeing the initiative gradually changing hands again, Nianhan smiled complacently. At this point, he believed that victory was in sight.The contraction of the Song army is obviously to fight to the death, defeating his left wing, stalling for time to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and maintaining a delusional draw.

However, how could he allow Qu Duan to succeed? He has already ordered troops from the right wing to cut off the movement of the Song army's rear to the Jin army's left wing. He calmly withdrew from the battlefield, and Jingxi's initiative was still in his hands.

If he wanted to swear, Wang Xiu would definitely greet Qu Duan's female ancestors all over, but he couldn't know the battle situation so quickly.

It cannot but be said that he was in a happy mood. He returned to the camp of the Liguo Supervisor and listened carefully to the military reports from Zongliang and Zhonglirui. He couldn't help but frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Wushu is progressing very quickly! By the way , how is Yelv Ma Wu doing?"

It is related to Wang Xiu's hometown and the starting point of his career. How can Zong Liang not care about it? He usually reports important military information. Chenzhou is a second-line military city, so it is impossible to divide Wang Xiu's energy. Since he asked, he immediately said : "The captives entered Chenzhou, all of them were Han troops. They mainly attacked Wanqiu. The city of Shangshui was reinforced, but there was no serious problem. It just passed after a trial."

Wang Xiu frowned, and said with interest: "As long as Shangshui sticks to it, there should be no problem." His family has basically arrived in Nanjing, but some of Xie's family stayed in Shangshui, and he didn't like Xie's family.As for whether the city is strong or not, he is not worried at all. It is true that Shangshui County is a third-class county, but as a town around Gyeonggi, it has the responsibility to defend Gyeonggi, and the city wall is quite tall and strong.

The last time Gao Sheng broke through, it was purely impossible to defend against. The defense line of [-] troops is reassuring. Who knew that the Golden Army cavalry came out of the corner.This will be the whole people's vigilance, the strong men are all on the city wall, and Yeluma has more than a thousand people out of the district, and they can only look at the city and sigh.

"My lord, Zhang Zima from Chenzhou has come to Guantang twice to make an emergency call, and I want my lord to send more troops to Chenzhou." Zhong Lirui glanced at Wang Xiu, and his tone was somewhat teasing, as if seeing Zhang Qiyuan's flustered appearance.

Wang Xiu lightly tapped the desk table with his fingertips, and said playfully: "Yelüma Wu has ten thousand households, and the Khitan and Han armies are relatively large, and there should be more than ten thousand people. There should be five or six thousand cavalrymen for long-distance raids without infantry. , including Alixi, there are more than ten thousand people, Zhang Zichu is not easy to fight!"

Zhong Lirui's mouth twitched, and said: "Sir, if there is a loss in Wanqiu, the front line of Bozhou will be shaken. If we get in touch with Wushu, it will be very bad for Huai Shang's defense!" He sneered at Zhang Qiyuan, but from a strategic point of view, I still prefer rescue. Once it is in the interests of the family and the country, personal conflicts and political differences can be put aside first.
