Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 521
Brother Yinshu was not so lucky, he was the focus of Song Jun's attack, it might as well be entangled tightly, he was really depressed.With the continuous withdrawal of the frontal troops of the Jin army, the Song army was gradually restored, and his situation continued to deteriorate.

In fact, the left wing of the Jin army was compressed on the shore of Luoshui, and retreating completely is tantamount to a dream. Since Nianhan resolutely gave up the battle to break through the three-sided attack of the Song army, he would naturally not put the main force in danger for a single army.

The retreat of the Jin army's frontal Bubazi is tantamount to giving up the left wing. As long as the Ma army can withdraw, the others can be given up.He could understand Nianhan's intentions, gathered the remaining cavalry without hesitation, and stormed northwestward, thousands of Alixi were ruthlessly abandoned.

It is ruthless and cruel, but it is the most sought-after choice, at least it can keep some elites to the maximum extent.

Facing the rushing Golden Army cavalry, Qu Duan was relieved to have received the Guantang where Wang Yuan had arrived.However, there was a feeling of disappointment in his heart. If Wang Yuan didn't arrive in time, he would face an embarrassing situation. Whether he could keep the whole army was still unknown, let alone defeating the glory of the Jin army. At the very least, it was very difficult to deal with Si Naguan. Wang Yuan was in the limelight, which made him very unwilling. He spent a long time trying to make a wedding dress for others.

However, a famous general is a famous general. In the face of big right and wrong, he is concerned about gains and losses, but he can seize the favorable opportunity and issue orders to attack across the board.

The exhausted generals of the Song Army began to form a complete battle formation with each general, and tried their best to intercept the Jin Army.

Some cavalry of the Golden Army, who were too late to withdraw, either abandoned their troops and surrendered, or resisted and were killed.Ironically, many Khitan, Bohai cavalry and Bubazi chose to surrender, but Arixi, composed of Han Chinese, fought tenaciously.

However, the consequences of stubborn resistance on the battlefield were extremely serious. Nearly [-] Bubazi and Alixi were abandoned, but they did not dare to surrender.During the war, the Jurchens did not kill a lot, they mainly plundered to make a fortune, but they killed ten times as much as the Jurchens. The military prefectures in Hebei and Dongdong even spontaneously killed the Han people in Jibei to vent their anger. How dare they lay down their weapons?
The Jurchens abandoned them, and their hope of survival could only be pinned on crude weapons.Many people hesitated and missed the opportunity to surrender. It was a bloody storm, which was almost unbearable to witness.

Following this, Yue Fei led the cavalry to the edge of the battlefield, and immediately dealt a fatal blow to the retreating Jin army, speeding up the retreat of the Jin army. The soldiers of the Song army on all fronts launched a full-scale counterattack. Brother Yinshu led the cavalry to fight to the death. Alixi and Fanhan Bubazi were squeezed into Luoshui little by little.

Those with good water quality will throw away their armor and swim to escape. Those with poor water quality or no water skills can only struggle helplessly in Luoshui. Killing red-eyed Song army officials and cutting off the surviving heads with knives is simply a giant. The massacre, the mentally broken people jumped into Luoshui, and more people stopped resisting in despair, waiting for the massacre.

Don't think that the Song Army is a cowardly army. On the contrary, this army inherits the legacy of the Five Seasons and is quite enthusiastic about killing.Whether it is building up the capital or massacring the city, it is definitely famous. Luoshui is red for it.

Qu Duan had no intention of stopping the massacre in Luoshui. Liu Kai and other generals refused to stop the unnecessary killing, but they said that they did not try their best to stop the massacre.Can you really control it?Everyone worked hard to defeat the captives, and wiped out an Alixi army that specially carried regular soldiers and goods. It is not a great result, but it is definitely a fat sheep. Fighting you hard!

The famous old commander Xiao Zhongxuanfu couldn't afford to give rewards, which led to the lack of hard work of the crossbowmen, and the whole battle fell into a disastrous defeat. Are you going to stop it?Tired of life, isn't it?

It was still Liguojian in Xuzhou, a few days after the battle of Luoyang.

"This Qu Zhengfu is really too much, it's just nonsense." Wang Xiu threw down the Guantang, with a very ugly expression on his face.

Zhong Lirui took the Guantang, glanced at it and his face sank, and said sharply: "Kill them all, is there no one to stop the generals of the Western Army? They are simply a group of butchers."

Wang Xiu frowned, and said nothing, no one knew what he was thinking, anyway, Zhong Lirui mentioned the butcher.

"As the governor of the capital, Qu Duan even disregarded the decisions of the two governments and arrived in Luoyang for a decisive battle with light soldiers. He almost killed the elite of the Western Army. Now he is massacring wantonly. He is really arrogant to the extreme. How can he suppress the morale of the army in the long run?" Zong Liang said angrily. .

A faint melancholy flashed across Wang Xiu's brows, and he said in a deep voice, "Wang Yuan has made great contributions, but Qu Duan also deserves the credit."

Zhong Lirui looked at Wang Xiu meaningfully, savored the meaning of the words carefully, and suddenly understood that the butcher in front of him was his ancestor, and he would kill him collectively in front of the battle, but he was still not reconciled, and said cautiously: "Qu Duan is greedy. Fame, this alone can make him deposed, but he also beheaded thousands of Jurchen heads for the sake of the king, and the small flaws do not conceal the great achievements, so that the merits and demerits can be offset, I wonder what the adults will do?"

Wang Xiu was also in a dilemma. Qu Duan and Wang Yuan were recommended by him against all opinions and surpassed many senior veterans, and he gave Du Tuan absolute restraint. Since Emperor Taizong, many famous generals dreamed of it, but they couldn't get it. The power of the court, the voice of opposition in the court is not small!
If Qu Duan defeated Nianhan on his own, it would be easy to say, the key is the arrival of Wang Yuan, which saved the Western Army from the fate of failure.If it is not handled properly, it will definitely cause an uproar and deal a great blow to his reputation.

He knew what Zhong Lirui meant, the key was how to deal with Qu Duan, take it lightly!I really can't; it's heavy!It is bound to arouse the sorrow of the general and the morale of the army. In the future, he will be tied up in battle and dare not go beyond half a step.What annoys him the most is that the general he recommended and given absolute power goes against the decisions of the two governments. Isn't this giving him a big mouth?Where is the prestige and face?
It was really a dilemma, he couldn't help but secretly scolded Qu Duan for being self-willed and for betraying his appointment to him.Now that the matter has come to an end, it must be properly dealt with as soon as possible. If it takes too long, it will be extremely detrimental to him. When I think of Li Gang and others, and some people who are not satisfied with him and some people who are eager to get promoted and have ulterior motives, I am afraid that they are preparing to write a letter Impeachment, it's a big head to think about.

Zhong Lirui curled his lips and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, you must make up your mind and never hesitate!"

"It's a pity that the song is over!" Wang Xiu sighed helplessly.
