Chapter 912 The Golden Army Forced by the Situation
"Yes!" Liu E could only respond and did not dare to say more.
Moreover, Liu E actually felt that this defeat was too sudden, and the Song army was completely motivated. If they really fought back, the Song army would not be able to withstand it.
The ideas of Pucha Shijianu and Liu E were both right.
Analyzing the current situation from the God's perspective of the entire war, the Song Army lost more than half of its heavy cavalry, and the city wall defenses were defeated by the Jin Army. The Jin Army only needed to react quickly and use cavalry to harass the grain roads between Dongsheng City and Fuzhou.
Transportation, it will be difficult for the Song army to recover.
If the slaves of the Pucha Shi family reacted quickly, forcibly recruited another group of people from Yunnei Prefecture, and at the same time regrouped the disintegrated Jin army, they would only need to form 20,000 more elites to fight back, and it would be difficult for Yu Yunwen to fight.
Liu E traveled south of the Yellow River with two thousand cavalry and more than half a month's worth of dry food.
On the evening of the third day of October, Pucha Shi's slaves hurriedly crossed the Yellow River and returned to Yunnei Prefecture in the middle of the night.
Yunnei Prefecture is north of the Yellow River and three hundred miles northeast of Dongsheng Prefecture.
It is still nearly four hundred miles away from Yunzhou.
The defensive Jin army in Yunnei Prefecture is not very large, only 3,000 men. If they are forced to recruit all the men over the age of 13 and under 55, 10,000 men can be recruited.
Obviously, Pucha Shi's slaves, now in a revengeful mood, chose to forcibly recruit troops in Yunnei Prefecture.
"Marshal Zuo, this kind of recruitment will drain Yunnei Prefecture of all its manpower and food."
Someone reminded Pucha Shijianu.
"I'm very afraid. I am going to defeat all the Song troops in Dongsheng Prefecture. Then I will attack Fu Prefecture and loot the Song people. Then won't we have everything?"
"If the war situation becomes protracted..."
"I have sent people to Yunzhou to collect food and grass!" Pucha Shi's slave said with confidence.
It is already the eighth day of October when the recruitment is completed.
Liu E successively summoned a group of defeated Jin Army infantry and re-formed a force south of the Yellow River.
In the next few days, small-scale Jin armies that were defeated from Dongsheng Prefecture gradually gathered at Liu E's place.
On the tenth day of October, Pucha Shi's slaves set out urgently from Yunnei Prefecture, preparing to cross the Yellow River south to join Liu E, and quickly go south to kill the Song army with a carbine.
Early that morning, Pucha Shi's slaves finished breakfast and watched the army walk out of the city gate at the top of the city.
He was very satisfied and said to Dutong Yawuta on one side: "Soldiers are very fast. We must cross the Yellow River today. We will reach Dongsheng City within three days. I will kill him by surprise!"
"Marshal Zuo is wise! The Song army must be exhausted at this time!"
"When the time comes, I will massacre the city! I will kill all those Song dogs and vent my hatred!"
At this time, someone suddenly rushed up from below: "Report! Marshal Zuo, someone claims to be an official of the Yanjing Privy Council and wants to see you on something important?"
"Privy Council?" Pucha Shi's slave was stunned for a moment, "Bring it here."
Wanyanjing hurried over on horseback and with others.
Seeing Wanyan Jing, Pucha Shi's slave was shocked.
Wanyanjing is the son of Wanyan Zongwang. He currently holds an important position in the Privy Council and is a descendant of the royal family.
Even if Pucha Shi's slave is Marshal Zuo, he still has to be afraid of three points.
"I have met Duke Sheng."
"Marshal Zuo, King Wei has an order, ordering you to withdraw your troops quickly and return to Yunzhou!"
Pucha Shi's slave was stunned for a moment and said: "Now is the critical moment of the war..."
"Yunzhou has been lost!"
"What?" The expression on Pucha Shi's slave's face froze in an instant.
"Yunzhou has been lost!" Wanyan Jing emphasized again.
"This is impossible!"
"Wu Jie! Wu Jie personally led the Song army out of Yanmen Pass and captured Yunzhou!"
Pucha Shi's slave felt as if his head was exploding in an instant.
Yunnei Prefecture is located in Qiantao Plain and is the main military town controlling the eastern part of Yinshan Mountain.
Yunzhou is the administrative seat of Yunzhong Prefecture. It can attack the grassland from the north and support Yunnei Prefecture from the west.
The most important thing is that if the Jin Kingdom wants to control Yinshan, it must control Yunnei Prefecture. If it wants to support Yunnei Prefecture, it must have Yunzhou.
Now that Yunzhou is in the hands of the Song Army, it is equivalent to destroying Yunneizhou's logistics.
At this time, Pucha Shi's slaves were left alone in the Yinshan Mountains, without Yunzhou's logistics supplies.
If the battle goes smoothly, it's okay, but if it goes slightly wrong, over time, supplies will not be able to keep up, and the entire army will collapse immediately.
Don't say that Dongsheng Prefecture can't be taken by then, I'm afraid Yunnei Prefecture won't be able to hold it either.
"Marshal Zuo! Marshal Zuo!"
"Yes!" Pucha Shi's slave finally came back to his senses. His forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and his previous expression was completely gone.
"Marshal Zuo, the King of Wei ordered you to return to Yunzhou immediately. Han Chang has already led an elite army. You should go back to Yunzhou now and annihilate Wu Jie together. You must make sure to get Yunzhou back, otherwise you will not be able to explain to the King of Wei.
!”
Pucha Shi's slave shuddered and said quickly: "Yes, yes! Hurry! Go and give Liu E an order to withdraw them all!"
"yes!"
"Marshal Zuo, I heard that you personally conquered the Wanggu people?" Wanyanjing asked, "I wonder how the results were?"
"The Wang Gu tribe was defeated by our army and completely surrendered to the imperial court. Ala Hushu did not dare to have any disobedience."
The slave of Pucha Shi's family hurriedly responded, not daring to continue talking, and went down to rectify the situation.
Two days later, on October 12th, Liu E, who was staying on the south bank of the Yellow River, was about to reach a desperate situation.
Because the Jin army did not have much food and grass, and half a month's food was eaten as a month, Liu E was waiting for Pucha Shi's slaves to bring a batch of food from Yunnei Prefecture to deal with the emergency.
When another batch of food from Yunzhou is transferred, Liu E thinks that he can fight the Song army for at least two months without any problem.
Unexpectedly, on this day, Liu E received an order to retreat at full speed.
Liu E looked at the messenger in surprise: "What did you say?"
"Marshal Zuo ordered us to immediately retreat to Yunnei Prefecture."
"Why is this?"
"have no idea."
Liu E had no choice but to retreat.
On October 13th, the scouts returned to Dongsheng City.
"Prefect Yu, the Jin army two hundred miles northeast has begun to retreat."
Yu Yunwen glanced at Guo Hao, whose left arm was bandaged, and said, "Should we cross the river or retreat eastward?"
"It was retreating eastward, not crossing the river."
Guo Hao fell silent, and Yu Yunwen said: "It may be to lure us, or it may be to really withdraw our troops. After all, Wu Shuai captured Yunzhou. According to the time, Pucha Shi's slaves should have received the news, and now he must go to Yunzhou at full speed.
Go."
"Then do we want to give chase?"
Yu Yunwen said: "Forget it, let's not pursue it. We don't have many troops now. Dongsheng Prefecture is not yet stable. We finally managed to hold it. We can't act like Meng Lang."
"I wonder how Wu Shuai is doing now."
"Wu Shuai is better at fighting than us, so we don't have to worry too much," Yu Yunwen said.
Chapter completed!
