I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 713

From adjusting the strategy to Zhao Xi's analysis of the danger of Gao Zunyu's department, it took only one day.

The imperial court's expedited edict, as well as the secret letter from the supervisory office, the private letter from the cabinet ministers, including the reprimand letter from the head of the Gao family, was only one day later than the imperial court's expedited edict.

This is a difference of two days, and Gao Zunyu's department has already launched a fight against Yaodecheng!

Yaode City is located at the foot of Hengshan North Mountain. To be precise, this is the south gate of Xiping Mansion in Xixia. After taking Yaode City, Xiping Mansion is just around the corner.

All the generals of Gao Zunyu's department thought it was too easy to capture Yaodecheng.I thought it should be about the same speed as their advance in the early stage, and they could still fight quickly, and then moved to the west to cooperate with Di Qing's actions.

However, Gao Zunyu's department also encountered the difficulties of several other armies on the road section after passing the mountains... the trenches!
"Report... Marshal, the imperial court hastened the edict!"

Gao Zunyu was watching the battle of the infantry formation in front of him. How could Da Song be the forerunner of the infantry formation? Could it be that the Xixia people could make up their numbers temporarily?The army is suppressing the Xixia people, and they are getting closer and closer to the city wall... Taking Yodok City is really within easy reach!

"why?"

I was in a good mood at first, but this expedited imperial edict poured cold water on my head!Gao Zunyu couldn't figure it out. It would take time for the Pianshi to change their combat deployment after receiving the order. It would also take time for the Zhejimin tribe to adjust their direction. This time was enough for them to take down Yaode City and even Xiping Mansion.

An army equipped with gunpowder chariots is truly invincible, and it is easy to attack the city.Shouldn't it be just this little time?Three to five days, as long as three to five days is enough, they can take Xiping Mansion!
However, this is an urgent edict from the imperial court!
"Marshal, the troops must be withdrawn. According to the request of the Chief Inspector's Office, the Inspector must ensure that the troops are withdrawn immediately without delay!"

"Withdraw the army...withdraw the army! The soldiers are fighting fiercely. If you say withdraw the army, you can withdraw the army immediately?"

Gao Zunyu was furious, and he didn't care what the inspector was or not. Looking at the speed of the infantry formation ahead, he still couldn't bear the credit.

"Marshal, if you don't withdraw the troops, the inspector can deprive you of command at any time and designate someone else to lead the battle!"

The censors were originally based on the original censors, and they were trained in the martial arts hall. They were all stubborn, or they were stunned young people who didn't care about the royal relatives.

They didn't care how Gao Zunyu beat him without the order of the supervisory general office. Once there was an order from the general office, no matter who it was, they couldn't fight again.Although I am also envious of this credit... the credit of the army along the way, all participants have a share.However, the training they received, the habits and accomplishments they developed still forced them to carry out the orders of the general government.

"One day, just one day, no matter whether you can take Yaode City or not, this commander will never leave a single soldier behind, all the troops will be withdrawn! Besides, in the midst of a fierce battle, once the order to withdraw the troops is given, it is to leave the backs to the Xixia people. The soldiers will lose a lot. Even if the troops are withdrawn, they will also need to withdraw after a truce..."

What Gao Zunyu said was reasonable, at least the supervisors thought it was reasonable.It's like two people fighting, one person stops suddenly, and the other person is not ready to stop, the one who stops first will definitely suffer.

Thinking about it again, the withdrawal of an army of tens of thousands of people does not take half a day.No one insisted on it anymore.The point is, everyone sees the hope of taking down Yodok Castle.

Zhong Yi had been commanding the infantry formation at the front, and it was not until night fell that the two sides broke up and returned to the camp to lick their wounds, preparing to fight again in the future.

On this day, they had advanced thirty or fifty steps, and were getting closer to the city wall, but the intensity and risk of the battle were even greater.The closer you are to the city wall, the Song army needs to be distracted from the long-range attacks of the city wall defenders, and cannot concentrate on fighting the Xixia people in the infantry formation.

"Commander, the general suggests that we should withdraw our troops. The general thinks that Yodok City will not be able to be defeated in one day..."

This is still secondary, Zhong Yi has been a little worried in his heart, and this feeling of worry has become more and more obvious during the battle against the Xixia infantry formation in the past two days.

"Try again early tomorrow morning, and charge again, if it doesn't work, we will withdraw!"

Gao Zunyu also calmed down. Even if he had the authority to act cheaply, such a blatant disobedience to the imperial edict would be discounted no matter how great his contribution was.

At the same time, under Zhong Yi's persuasion, Gao Zunyu and Zhong Yi began to arrange the withdrawal of troops overnight.

Indeed, the immediate withdrawal of troops can only be an order. In actual operations, the withdrawal of troops needs to be planned accordingly.This is still a battle within the territory of the place.Reasonable arrangements need to be made for which part advances, which part breaks up, when the Chinese army will move, how each part will switch functions, and so on.

A team that was originally going straight forward and fighting in a charge state changed to a retreat, and many aspects needed to be considered.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhong Yi still led the army and continued to fight with the infantry formation...
No... This is Zhang Yi's first feeling. He can clearly feel that the defense intensity of the Xixia people has been significantly reduced today, and the speed of their own advance is very fast.

The two sides played against each other for less than a moment, and Zhong Yi felt that the progress was much faster than yesterday's.

Another, the position where the two sides are fighting now has entered the attack range of the god arm crossbow, but the Xixia people defending on the city wall have not made any attacks on their own formation.

This is abnormal, quite abnormal.

"Send the order, stop advancing, the front team will change to the rear team, retreat across the board!"

Zhong Yi didn't care to continue thinking, and now he only had one thought, and he had to retreat.

Officials have said in chats that the purpose of the two opposing sides on the battlefield is to prevent the other party from accomplishing their goals.Once it appears that the enemy is cooperating with one's own side to complete the task on the battlefield, you need to be vigilant at this time.

At this time, these words of the official were very clear in Zhong Yi's mind, and the current situation seemed to be an interpretation of the official's words.

Therefore, he was not ambiguous at all. As soon as he made contact, he directly ordered to retreat.

However, at this time, there was a phenomenon that made his scalp tingle. When he ordered to retreat, the formation of the army had just been adjusted, and the Xixia people did not pursue them, but turned around... retreat.

"Quick...quick... speed up the retreat! Speed ​​up!"

Zhong Yi even forgot about the messengers around him, and shouted with all his strength, constantly urging the rear team that had changed formation to speed up.

He was very lucky, fortunate that he did not let the chariot follow behind in today's battle, but was ready to switch to the battle.Otherwise, even if the infantry formation turns its head around, the speed of retreat will be hindered by the chariot... because it is quite laborious to turn the chariot.
