A few miles away, Shi Dayong sighed. He knew that Zhang Chun was finished, and so were the tens of thousands of Ming troops.
He also thought about going to rescue Zhang Chun, but Zuo Liangyu's words completely stopped his thoughts. Zuo Liangyu said it very simply and straightforwardly. He told Shi Dayong directly: "The army is finished and there is no way to save it."
, If you don’t leave, I’ll leave.” After saying that, he led his men and fled to the south bank without looking back, not wanting to advance or retreat together with the Songshan Army.
After a brief hesitation, although he despised this evil general from the bottom of his heart, Shi Dayong had to admit that he was right. The army had collapsed. There was no possibility of a miracle under the pursuit of the Jin army. He would do whatever he could.
Now, what if I rush forward to rescue Zhang Chun at all costs?
If you lose, you lose. Even if you don't admit it, you have to admit it. If you go to save people now, you can only make fun of the lives of the soldiers.[
Isn't it enough that all 40,000 troops were buried here? Do you have to bury 3,000 of your own Changping disciples here before you are willing to do so?
The bloody battles one after another resulted in fewer and fewer familiar faces around them. The battles were fought fiercely. Which battle was not fought as if it were fought on the edge of the cliff?
Enough is enough. We can't continue fighting like this. We can keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. In today's battle, even if Zhang Chun and his 40,000 troops were killed, how could he be a slave?
If the battles in the future are so exhausting for Jiannu, will the Manchu Qing Dynasty still be able to take control of the Central Plains?
"Let's go back to Jinzhou!" Shi Dayong gritted his teeth and ordered to retreat.
"General, don't you want to save Lord Bingbei?" I heard that when I returned, Cao Bianjiao became anxious. Lord Bingbei and his tens of thousands of brothers were being chased by Jiannu. How could he just watch them be wiped out by the Jin army?
"We can't save them! Let's go. If we don't leave, no one will be able to leave!"
Shi Dayong turned around with an expression on his face, raised his feet and walked silently towards the south bank, with Guo Yi following closely behind.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanli, Huang An, Li Dashan, and Ma Zhong shook their heads and led their respective men to retreat with Shi Dayong.
Although the Changping soldiers were not afraid of death, they saw clearly the fact that the army had collapsed. They knew that they could only withdraw at this time. If they did not withdraw, once the defeated troops surged over, it would be impossible to withdraw.
Blood could not cover up reason. Under the leadership of officers, two thousand Changping soldiers withdrew to the south bank in an orderly manner.
"well!"
Everyone left, Cao Bianjiao could only stomp his feet in pain, waved his hand at the wolf cavalry sadly and angrily, and reluctantly withdrew to the south bank. When he was about to retreat, he did not forget to carry the iron armor that had been peeled off from the horse, and the pole.
The golden dragon flag of the slave chieftain that was finally captured was also carried on Cao Bianjiao's shoulders.
The Songshan Army retreated to the south bank. Along the way, Shi Dayong did not forget to order to gather some stragglers, search for weapons discarded by the Ming Army, and take as many wounded as possible with him.
The defeated troops on the north bank were still several miles away from the Jin army, so they were not afraid to catch up. When they met up with Shao Wu's rear army, Shi Dayong discovered that Shao Wu had done a better job than he had admitted.
More than a thousand defeated troops and more than 600 horses were dispatched. When the fire broke out on the south bank, 300 people were sent to the river to search for useful supplies. There were many piles of muskets, broadswords, spears, and crossbows.
Seeing the horses, Cao Bianjiao hurriedly asked the wolf cavalry to put the iron armor on the horses. Carrying it all the way was really difficult. After taking off the iron armor, the wolf cavalry breathed a sigh of relief.
Shao Wu came up with several thousand generals and told Shi Dayong that just now Changping Counselor Zuo Liangyu led people to Jinzhou. He wanted to stop the other party, but seeing that the other party had strong troops and horses, he did not dare to act rashly, so he had to let them pass.
Shi Dayong nodded without saying anything, and ordered Huang An, Shao Wu, and Jiang Wanli to immediately lead their troops to withdraw to Jinzhou. The Wolf Cavalry Army left one hundred soldiers who knew how to ride a horse, and another hundred horses for them to ride on.
Huang An saw the Jin Army cavalry crossing the river on the other side of Changshan. He was worried that the Jin Army would come to pursue them, so he said to Shi Dayong: "General, let the middle army and the rear army withdraw first. I will lead the front army and follow the general."
If you stay, if the Jin army comes after you, you can at least block it."[
"No need, you all retreat." Shi Dayong waved his hand, signaling Huang An to leave quickly, "If the Jin army dares to pursue me, I will set fire to it right away. Although the fire blows southward with the wind, he can't build a slave."
You can't chase us anymore. The most urgent thing is that you have to leave first, otherwise if you really set a fire, it will be enough for us to drink a pot."
After hearing this, Huang An nodded, knowing that Shi Dayong was right. The soldiers in Changping were all infantry. If a fire started here, they might not be able to escape. It was best for them to leave quickly now and wait until the fire started.
There is enough distance for them to retreat to Jinzhou.
Seeing that Cao Bianjiao wanted to stay, Shi Dayong waved his hand towards him and ordered him: "Xiao Cao, you go too!"
"No, I'll stay." Cao Bianjiao said in a low voice, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Shi Dayong's retreat.
Shi Dayong had no choice but to agree and pointed at the golden dragon flag on his shoulder, "Let Huang An and the others take the flag back. If you want to keep this flag, it will be strange if the slaves don't chase us."
Cao Bianjiao didn't say anything. He turned around and handed the flag to Huang An. Huang An took it and asked two soldiers to carry it.
Here, Jiang Wanli and his men were helping the rear army deal with the war horses and weapons. The defeated troops were also asked to come and carry them. After a short period of busy work, Huang An and others came to bid farewell to Shi Dayong and led his troops to retreat one after another.
.
After everyone evacuated, Shi Dayong and Cao Bianjiao rode north with a hundred wolf cavalry and entered another two miles, then stopped their horses and looked at the Xiaoling River in the distance. Shi Dayong always felt unwilling and fanciful.
I hope Zhang Chun can escape.
But as more and more Jin troops came in front of them, the last trace of illusion was shattered.
On the north bank, the Jin army suddenly stopped attacking. On the south bank, hundreds of Ming army cavalry were rushing towards this side, but they were stopped by the Jin army who came around the long mountain.
……………
Wu Xiang was miserable. He ran as fast as he could, but he still didn't have time to rush out before the Jin army could rendezvous. Thousands of Jin soldiers roared and killed him. In one round, only two or three hundred of his subordinates were left. So was Song Wei over there.
Wherever you go, there are only dozens of horses around you.
"Master Zhentai, run quickly!"
Seeing that the last vacancy was about to be closed by the Jin army, Wu Xiang's family general Wu De led his men to rush towards the Jin army. There was a fight, and the Jin army was temporarily disrupted. When Wu Xiang saw this, he hurriedly fought his horse and ran towards the vacancy.
Go, the Jin army saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to intercept. After a fight, Wu Xiang finally escaped, but only thirteen riders were left with him. Song Wei also escaped smoothly. He was even worse than Wu Xiang, with only thirteen riders left by his side.
Seven Riders.
After escaping from danger, the Wu and Song Dynasty men beat their mounts wildly and ran southward desperately. Pian Danggu didn't know the identity of the two men. Seeing that there were only dozens of Ming troops escaping, he ignored them and blew the trumpet to lead his troops to Xiaoling River.
Participated in the encirclement of the Ming Army Brigade.
After riding for three miles, Wu and Song saw a cavalry in front of them. They were shocked and thought it was the Jin army. When they saw it was the Ming army, they heaved a sigh of relief and ran there desperately.
, the war horse was so tired that he foamed at the white.
He jumped off his horse and ran straight towards the Ming army. Before they arrived, the voice came first: "This general is Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. Please exchange your war horses with me as soon as possible!"
