Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 1228: There is no return to heaven, the golden cicada escapes the shell
Chapter 1228: There is no return to heaven, the golden cicada escapes the shell
Chapter 1228: There is no way to recover, the golden cicada’s escape plan
Minamoto Yoritomo first whispered a few words to the subordinates beside him, then he pulled Takujun Jing and shouted sternly, "This army is invincible. If we don't leave now, how long will it take?"
Tuo Junjing's expression was extremely ugly, but when he saw the soldiers and horses in front of him who were no longer in formation and even collapsed and fled, he also knew that although there were still nearly half of the soldiers and horses in the camp, he was unable to save his life.
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and shouted to the guards beside him, "Go, give the order and let them hold these people back. It's just 800 cavalry. Even if it costs human lives, we must stop them!"
After giving the order, he turned around and returned to the camp with Minamoto Yoritomo!
It’s not to blame that he was cruel, the movement of backing the Wei army was too fast. If there was no obstruction, they could rush directly to the camp. They wouldn’t even have a chance to escape. After abandoning these soldiers and horses, he could at least lead them.
He fled with some soldiers and horses.
After returning to the camp, the two of them did not dare to delay at all. They gathered the remaining soldiers and horses, then left the camp southward and fled in a hurry.
The victory or defeat of the battle before the camp has been determined. Up to now, only some Koryo soldiers and horses who cannot escape are still resisting. It is only a matter of time before they are eliminated!
However, after the overall situation was decided, Shen Tang directly recruited Bei Weijun back and asked the remaining Jin Guobing behind him to go immediately to clean up the mess.
The reason for this is, first of all, because there will be no surprises in the current battle situation. It is naturally best to let the Beiwei army save some energy. In addition, these soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom also need to use a hearty battle.
fight to vent the failure of the last war.
Naturally, Shen Tang would not feel sorry for the soldiers and horses of Goryeo. Letting Jin Bing vent his anger was just a waste.
It only took half an hour, under the unleashing of Jin's troops and horses, all the defeated troops of Goryeo were slaughtered!
"General, do you want to pursue me or not?"
The Jin general who led the army returned to Shen Tang excitedly!
Shen Tang nodded, "Let's go and see Tu Shan Limeng!"
Tu Shanlimeng had already led a thousand light cavalry to ambush the retreat route of the Koryo soldiers and horses. With a thousand cavalry, they took the lead. Even if the Koryo soldiers and horses wanted to escape, it would be difficult for them to escape!
Sure enough, by the time they arrived at Tu Shanlimeng's location, the battle was basically over!
Tu Shanlimeng came up and said respectfully to Shen Tang, "General, the soldiers and horses of the Koryo Kingdom and some Japanese warriors have stopped them all. Except for more than 300 prisoners, the rest were killed. However, they were not found.
Commander in chief!"
Shen Tang was stunned at first, and then smiled. These two famous people recorded in history were indeed not simple, and they actually gave themselves a golden cicada to escape from their shells.
I think these two people are also smart people. Since their side is sure of victory, there is no reason not to ambush the ambush on the back road. Therefore, they must have taken advantage of the chaos to break away from the large group of people and hide directly during the evacuation.
This place is full of barren mountains and ridges, inaccessible to people. As long as we drill into the barren mountains and rely on our two or three thousand troops to completely block the surrounding barren mountains, it is simply unrealistic.
However, it is not easy for them to really escape from the palm of his hand! Shen Tang closed his eyes and thought, and the geological map around this place appeared in his mind. After a while, he summoned his disciple Shan Limeng.
He gave a few instructions in a low voice.
Tu Shanlimeng ambushed about ten miles behind the enemy camp. During this stretch of the journey, there were not many places where Minamoto Yoritomo and the two could hide. It was enough to block several surrounding arteries.
Moreover, to deal with smart people, you naturally need to use stupid methods.
According to common sense, the most likely direction for these two people to escape now is to go south and return to the border of Korea. However, smart people may use their clever methods to do the opposite.
Therefore, Shen Tang explained that in the southeast and two directions, cavalry was sent out to patrol with great fanfare to create momentum, while in the north, the cavalry was quietly lurking. They only needed to pay attention to the movement of all passages and not show up easily.
Come to think of it, it won't take long for you to gain something.
After all, the barren mountains of this era are really not suitable for staying for a long time! After questioning the prisoners, it was obvious that there were not many people who escaped with the two men, only a dozen people at most. After all, if there were more people, it would be impossible to do anything. It was silent.
A dozen people are quite powerful, but if they encounter a pack of hungry wolves or a blind bear in this barren mountain, even if these people are all soldiers, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, as long as they sense that the situation outside is safe, they will definitely come out of the barren mountains as soon as possible.
After the battle, Shen Tang ordered some people to clean the battlefield, and he led most of them back to the camp. Next, he would lead his troops south, and he needed to prepare food, grass, weapons and other supplies.
This battle did not consume much time, but even so, by the time Shen Tang returned to the camp, it was already sunset.
As soon as they arrived at the camp gate, Heshi Liezhining came up to him with a big smile on his face, "Shen Tang, this is a victory, I owe you a favor! Come on, I have prepared a celebration drink. Congratulations to you!"
Shen Tang did not refuse, handed the horse to the bodyguard beside him, held his hand in his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, Commander!"
Shen Tang and others were all happy after winning the battle, but in Lin'an in the south, many soldiers and horses were wailing! Yu Yunwen returned to Lin'an and entered the palace to face the holy call. Although Yu Yunwen did not quite meet Zhao Shen's choice, However, there is no good candidate now, and in order to rectify the army, such a strong backbone is indeed needed. Therefore, the position of the privy envoy was directly determined.
In the court hall the next day, Zhao Shen directly announced the appointment! With Ye Yong expressing support and Shi Hao remaining silent, there were naturally no surprises in this appointment.
Thank you Huang En for receiving the seal! Yu Yunwen, the trusted Privy Councilor, has taken office!
The first thing he did when he took office was to issue an order, 'Strictly investigate the low pay and corruption of local armies, and implement an assessment system for the combat capabilities of each army. Those who fail the assessment will directly replace the commanding generals!'
Moreover, on the same day, he asked Zhao Shen for an order and personally led people out of Lin'an to the location of the Guangde Army!
As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar!
When in the army, basically everyone knew that the annual military pay of the Song Dynasty was tens of millions. If all this money fell into the hands of these Qiu Ba, wouldn't it be wasted?
Anyway, you are not thinking about starting a war with the Jin Kingdom, so why spend money to raise these big soldiers?
