Chapter 277 Guoqiao Town (End)
Bangbangbang, after a rapid bangzi sound, a group of people suddenly appeared on the gate tower of Guoqiao Town...51o.
Cao Rong was in charge of the battle in the rear army. When he saw figures appearing on the city gate tower, he immediately shouted loudly: "Scatter, all disperse."
He also realized that the Jin soldiers under his command gathered towards the city gate without realizing it.
If the Song army throws the mysterious firearm, it will inevitably cause huge casualties.
However, a rain of arrows fell on the city gate tower of Guoqiao Town. Wang Minqiu led 200 archers to shoot arrows down the city gate tower. At the same time, Ji Qing and others commanded a group of miscellaneous soldiers to smash the earth, rocks and broken wood from the city like raindrops.
Guoqiao Town is already an empty city, which means that those houses are almost useless.
Therefore, Yu Yin ordered people to demolish all the buildings near the city gate overnight, in exchange for the mountains of rolling wood and stones piled up on the city gate tower.
However, regardless of arrow rain or rock, it did not cause too much casualties to the Jin army.
Cao Rong commanded the troops to retreat, observing the movements of Guo Qiao Town, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The Song army's firearm made him feel a little afraid of throwing weapons. After pondering for a while, Cao Rong ordered the Jin soldiers to attack again. The Jin soldiers carried the horses and rushed towards the city gate like a tide. On the top of the city, the Song army continued to resist, but they were still mainly arrows and stones. After several rounds of repeated deaths, Cao Rong also calmed down.
I'm afraid there are not many mysterious firearms...
Otherwise, how could the Song army be reluctant to use it?
Thinking about it, this Song army is only a thousand people, and I'm afraid it's not the elite of the imperial guards.
A ferocious look appeared on Cao Rong's face, and the concerns in his heart disappeared. He saw him pull out his sword, pointing at the gate of Guoqiao Town, and roaring with hissing: "Three Army men, charge with me. Capture Guoqiao Town, no matter how many chickens and dogs are left..."
This is also the Jin army's favorite order to hear.
Before, in Fengqiu and Qicheng. After the Jin army was captured without blood, in order to appease the people, Cao Rong ordered that he should not act rashly, so that these soldiers and ruffians could not make extra money and were already a little dissatisfied.
Now that the city massacre order was issued, the Jin army will naturally no longer be polite.
They all rushed towards Guoqiao Town as if they were injected with chicken blood...
The area of Guoqiao Town is not too large. It is adjacent to the north bank of Guangji River, so it is relatively high. The city gate is also very small, so after the Jin army launched an attack, it immediately squeezed into a group. On the city gate tower, Yu Yin squinted his eyes and stared at the Jin army swarming in, and an unconscious smile appeared on his face. He nodded slightly.
Pang Wanchun really came up with a good idea.
The terrain of Guoqiao Town is destined to make the Song army defeated the Jin army if they want to fight in a field.
Not to mention that the Song army was mainly infantry, while the Jin army was iron armored cavalry. More importantly, the infantry under Yu Yin did not have the Divine Arm and Lunger armor used by the Song army in the field. Once the battle was fought, the entire army would be wiped out.
The battle with Cao Ning was due to an unexpected surprise and Cao Ning's underestimation.
However, even if the old man was so angry that he was already in a state of great affair, he was destined to be unable to make the same mistake with Cao Ning's previous experience.
Guoqiao Town is not enough to stick to it.
Moreover, Yu Yin didn't want to fight the Jin soldiers in Guoqiao Town.
To put it bluntly, the reason why he stayed in Guoqiao Town was to delay time. Mutuogang could successfully transfer the supplies, food and grass, and at the same time gain more time for Kaifeng. Therefore, Yu Yin did not want to fight the Jin soldiers to the death, so if there was no surprise, the result would be less optimistic.
Pang Wanchun’s plan is to lure the enemy.
With Guoqiao Town's persistent attitude, he lured the Jin soldiers to siege them to siege.
Only by gathering the Jin soldiers together can the thunder in the palm of the palms play the greatest role. For this reason, Yu Yin gritted his teeth and persevered, waiting for the Jin soldiers to reveal their flaws. As expected, Cao Rong was deceived... Then his chance came!
"Liang Yucheng, fire a cannon!"
Liang Yucheng, who heard the order, hurriedly bowed to accept the order.
However, he did not have the thunder cannon used by the Song army, but only one cannon.
Liang Yucheng installed the cannon and ignited the medicine twist. After hearing a loud noise, Ji Qing on the city gate tower immediately shouted: "Smash the thunder in the palm of your hand."
Two hundred miscellaneous soldiers had been impatient for a long time, so they quickly ignited the medicine twists on the thunder in their palms and threw them into the city.
This does not require any arm strength or accurate head.
At least hundreds of Jin soldiers gathered at the gate of Guoqiao Town, and countless Jin soldiers rushed over like a tide. Just throw the thunder in your palm.
Cao Rong originally wanted to go to the battle himself, but he didn't expect that the cannon made Cao Rong shudder.
Seeing countless black iron balls dropping from the city gate tower, Cao Rong felt a sudden shock and immediately knew that the situation was not good.
“Retreat, disperse…”
Cao Rong was stunned and screamed.
However, before he could say anything, he heard a series of loud bangs. Even the Jin army, who was hundreds of meters away from the gate of Guoqiao Town, could clearly feel the trembling of the ground. A bunch of blood mist broke out from the gate of the city gate.
The Jin army was blown away by the sudden thunder in the palm of their hands...
Immediately afterwards, Yu Yin shouted the order, and Dong Xian, who had been waiting under the city gate for a long time, immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.
The smoke filled the face, and a pungent smell of blood came to my face.
Dong Xian couldn't help but frown and quickly dodged a way out. Immediately afterwards, Gao Chong He Yuanqing, like a tiger descending from the mountain, roaring out of the city with the Beiwei Army. Outside the city gate, the Jin army was killed and injured by countless deaths and wounded, and the ground was covered with wreckage. The ground of hundreds of meters was dyed red, which was even more shocking in the sun. Before they could come back to their senses, they saw a team of Song troops coming out of the city.
Gao Chong danced his big gun and rushed around the chaotic army, as if he had entered a no-man.
He Yuanqing waved his double hammers, and there was no enemy in front of him. The Beiwei Army behind the two men all held a seven-foot sabre and rushed out of the city with two beasts, rushing into the chaos, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Behind the Beiwei Army, Niu Gao and Dong Xian led their troops to follow. Although they were infantry troops, they showed unusual combat power.
The Jin soldiers were killed so hard that they dared not to fight.
They searched for mounts and walked away in a panic...
At the same time, another cannon sounded on the gate tower of Guoqiao Town.
The Black Flag Arrow Team broke out from behind the Jin soldiers, causing the already panicked Jin soldiers to have no intention of resisting and flee one by one.
Although Cao Rong tried his best to stabilize his position, the situation was over.
After killing more than a dozen deserters in succession, they were no longer able to control themselves, so they had to escape in a panic under the protection of their personal care.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The shouts of killing gradually became weaker.
Seeing that the Jin army was defeated, Yu Yin couldn't help but breathe a breath of turbid air.
When I came to the battlefield again, I no longer had the strong discomfort as strong as yesterday... I was lucky to win this battle. It can be said that it was because of the power of the thunder in my palm and the advice of Pang Wanchun. I had always felt that I could plan and command thousands of troops. But in this battle, he already understood that he was not the material of the army...
When fighting a large army, it is about a calm and steady response. Mount Tai presses on the top and does not change his color.
But just now, he lost his composure several times. If it weren't for Pang Wanchun's previous explanation, he would have thrown his palm thunder in advance.
Even so, he still didn't take a good job.
After all, the order was still a little hurried. If I were to put it in a pressure, not to mention more, in twenty breaths, the lethality of the 200 palm thunders was at least twice that of now. But just now, he was still panicked and even a little impatient.
Perhaps, this can be compensated in the future.
But Yu Yin realized that if he charges into battle and fights the battlefield, he might be a good player.
But he is not good at planning. Some things can be cultivated. Some things are indeed born... the melee of only a few thousand people, so they look like this. So can he persist in the battle of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions in the future?
Thinking of this, Yu Yin sighed softly.
Although I have made a decision in my heart, I still feel an inexplicable loss.
I am indeed not the kind of person who can compete for the world... I have watched some film and television works later in life. Seeing the generals who are planning and strategizing loudly shouting "No matter how casualties, just how much the result is," I always feel that it is not difficult.
But if you really want to enter the battlefield, can you have the courage to shout such words?
What a strong and cold heart this requires...
But Yu Yin is still a literary youth in her bones!
At noon, Guoqiao Town has returned to peace.
The war has stopped. Although the Jin army returned after being defeated, Cao Rong ran away...
Although the Song army won the victory overall, Cao Rong's escape made Yu Yin feel more or less regretful.
"Today's confrontation, the enemy's thieves suffered more than 700 casualties, but our army had only 100 casualties, which was a great victory."
In the lobby of the official office of Guoqiao Town, Wang Minqiu reported the results with great enthusiasm.
However, Yu Yin seemed very quiet. After hearing Wang Min's request for a report, he suddenly asked: "You guys, although Cao Rong was defeated, the enemy's thieves will come back sooner or later. Guoqiao Town is not enough to hold on. We have previously relied on the thunder in the palm of our hands and unexpected tactics to win. However, once the enemy's thieves arrive, Guoqiao Town may not be able to withstand the enemy's attack."
As soon as the words came to an end, everyone was silent.
Yu Yin closed his eyes and pondered for a moment and said, "Guo Yaoshi will not let go of this defeat. This man has outstanding military tactics and is very scheming, which is not comparable to Cao Rong, a man. We have two ways now, should we continue to stick to it or retreat to Mutuogang? In short, today is the seventh day of the lunar month. If we hold the enemy for two days, it will be considered that we have achieved the merits.
Let’s talk about it, how should I choose next?”
Everyone looked at each other...
Pang Wanchun couldn't help but nodded secretly.
To be honest, he was about to remind Yu Yin about this, but he was worried that Yu Yin would win one after another and be blinded by the victory.
It has been two days since Kaifeng Prefecture has not been moved, and no reinforcements have arrived.
Then the Privy Council's idea is very clear... They will never fight to the death with the Jin army for Guoqiao Town, and must have made up their minds to rely on the Kaifeng City to fight the Jin army. In two days, they will surely make a lot of preparations.
“Brother means…”
Gao Chong couldn't help but speak.
Yu Yin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Retreat!"
It is a bit difficult to say these two words, but Yu Yin knows that this is the most correct choice.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. After a while of silence, Niu Gao said, "Since the commander has made a decision, please retreat."
Dong Xian nodded in agreement.
Once the decision was decided, Yu Yin stopped hesitating and immediately ordered to act quickly.
He sat alone in the courtyard of the official office, looking worried.
Just then, I heard a sound of footsteps. When I looked up, I saw Pang Wanchun coming from outside the moon gate.
"Xiao Yi, seems to have something to worry about?"
Yu Yin smiled, waved his hand to signal Pang Wanchun to sit down, and then said in a deep voice: "I just felt something... I originally thought that the troubled times came. I could plan and win thousands of miles away like the ancient sages. But after two battles yesterday and today, I found that I was not handsome. I was not afraid of my brother's jokes, and went to fight and died on the battlefield. I was not afraid of my own. But I was adaptable and cruel and decisive, but I could never do it.
My uncle didn't want me to work in the army during his lifetime.
He once said that my ability is to lead a hundred people to fight and be a general, Yu Hou, but as a commander, I was not decisive enough. At the beginning, I was not convinced! But after these two wars, I deeply felt my shortcomings."
When discussing the matter in the lobby, Pang Wanchun realized that Yu Yin had some problems with her emotions.
But he didn't expect that he was worried about it?
Pang Wanchun is not unaware of Yu Yin’s shortcomings, but because of his identity, Pang Wanchun doesn’t know how to persuade him.
But Yu Yin said it so clearly. He didn't know how to speak for a while.
After Yu Yin was silent for a long time, he suddenly smiled again. He looked up at Pang Wanchun and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about changing the place to develop?"
"ah?"
"With my brother's talent, I feel a little aggrieved.
If brother wants to leave, Xiao Yi can arrange a good place for his brother."
When Pang Wanchun heard this, he became furious, "How can Xiao Yi say this? If it weren't for Xiao Yi's planning for me, Pang would be just a bandit now. Although he is just a general, Yu Hou, he is open and honest, and there is no need to worry every day.
Although I am not a well-educated person, I also know the truth about repaying the favor of a drop of water and the spring of repaying. Xiao Yixiu wants to say these words again."
But I knew that the smile on Yu Yin's face was even worse.
"My brother thinks that if you follow me, you can display your talents and achieve success?
Don’t forget that my brother still has ideals and wants to revitalize the salt officer Pangzi... Follow me, it’s amazing to be a staff member for life, why not make a career? My words are not just for the exam, but for the heartfelt words. As long as my brother agrees, I will plan for my brother... I may not be a good commander in my family, but can create conditions for my brother."
"this……"
Pang Wanchun has some contradictions.
Yu Yin said again: "Not only brother, but also Dong Juemin and Niu Boyuan... Both of them have talents. They are wronged in this palace. After all, they are useless. I have already thought of a place to go, and you will go there together when the time comes."
"where?"
Pang Wanchun blurted out.
But Yu Yin didn't reply, but just smiled and said softly: "When things are in sight, my brother will naturally know..."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pang Wanchun left with a confused look.
Yu Yin seemed to have become relaxed all of a sudden.
To be honest, Niu Gao, Dongxian and Pang Wanchun followed him, although he had helped him, he also brought him great trouble.
What is the situation in history of Pang Wanchun?
Yu Yin is not particularly clear.
But Niu Gao and Dong Xian are real famous generals, and even Yue Fei's right-hand man.
Of course, Yu Yin could not let Niu Gao and Dong surrender to Yue Fei first, after all, he always had some knots about Yue Fei. He admired Yue Fei, but did not recognize Yue Fei's style of doing things. In history, Yue Fei was famous for his loyalty and righteousness, and eventually died at the hands of Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui. However, who knew that at the beginning of Jianyan, Emperor Gaozong had the kindness of knowing Yue Fei.
It can be said that it was Yue Fei's own unknown thing, and he shouted the slogan of welcomeing the two emperors.
The question is, after you welcome the two emperors back, how should Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou deal with it? I am afraid that Yue Fei would not understand this until his death.
Yue Fei died, and the troops under his command did not end well.
Like Niu Gao and others, they were either killed or died of depression... Now, Niu Gao and Dong have become Yu Yin's subordinates, and Yu Yin definitely cannot let these two follow Yue Fei to die. Therefore, he thought of a good place for Pang Wanchun and the other two, which was to work under Zong Ze. Yu Yin felt that following Zong Ze was far more beneficial than following Yue Fei.
What will happen to this heart-to-heart talk with Pang Wanchun?
Yu Yin is not particularly clear about it.
But I think Pang Wanchun will definitely reveal the news with Niu Gaodong first, so that they can also be mentally prepared.
At least, give them a chance, maybe the two of them will work harder. Now that the capture of bandits is at the city, it is also the best time for them to gain military achievements.
Thinking of this, Yu Yin's heart suddenly became much more enlightened.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingkang, Yuyin ordered the entire army to withdraw from Guoqiao Town and retreat to the south bank of Guangji River to camp...
Guoqiao Town no longer needs to exist.
An empty city, staying here is a bargain and it is not the result that Yu Yin hopes to see.
Therefore, when the Beiwei army withdrew, Yu Yin ordered the city wall of Guoqiao Town to be pushed down, and then a fire turned Guoqiao into ruins. Under the reflection of the raging flames, the Song army retreated south in an orderly manner and safely crossed the Guangji River.
Afterwards, Yu Yin ordered people to send a letter to Kaifeng Prefecture and report the results of the war to the Ministry of War.
He knew that he had definitely committed a big taboo after leaving Moutuogang without authorization... Reporting the results of the war can more or less give him some forgiveness. However, if the Ministry of War really wanted to be punished, Yu Yin would not care too much.
He knew very well that if something happened, Zhao Chen and the queen would speak for him in the court, including Gao Qiu, would also save his life.
If you can’t be a general, be someone who can protect the generals!
After Yu Yin finished writing the letter, he hesitated for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he wrote another letter, sealed it with fire lacquer, and called Gao Chong and Wang Minqiu.
"Shisanlang, go to Moutuogang immediately and ask Yanei to take you to meet Twenty-sixlang.
He handed the letter to Twenty-Liulang and asked him to pass it to the prince. He said that his family had angered for the prince... In addition, he told Twenty-Liulang about the battle and asked him to make a special issue. It is necessary to spread this good news all over Kaifeng tomorrow."
If your Ministry of War seeks trouble for me, let the public opinion compete with you!
Yu Yin discovered that after deciding to abandon military power, his thinking suddenly became much clearer.
After giving Gao Chong instructions, Yuyin handed over another letter to Wang Minqiu, "Sanlang, this letter will be sent to the Ministry of War at the Mao hour tomorrow.
Remember, it is the hour of Mao, so don’t go in advance or postpone it. So I told Li Shangshu that I was waiting for military orders on the south bank of Guangji River.”
