Chapter 1378: The Song army retreats to the valley, and the dark night deceives Yi County
Chapter 1378: The Song army retreats to Xiegu and deceives Yi County in the dark night
At sunset, Bian Xi and Shao Hongyuan finally led their troops to retreat into the Xie Valley, and relied on the terrain of the Xie Valley to temporarily hold off the Jin soldiers!
Seeing that things failed, the Jin soldiers temporarily stopped their pursuit. However, they did not retreat. Instead, they camped directly outside the Xiegu and waited for dawn to continue attacking Xiegu!
After Bian Xi and Shao Hongyuan set up camp on the spot, they sat opposite each other in the big tent!
"Why!"
Bian Xi sighed, "It's only my fault that you and I didn't take the commander's words to heart. Otherwise, if we had been prepared, we wouldn't have damaged so many soldiers and horses!"
Shao Hongyuan also smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Who would have known that the Jin soldiers suddenly increased their troops in Yi County. The thousands of soldiers and horses that were chasing us before were all fresh troops. In addition to the previous reserve troops and horses, the Jin soldiers increased their troops by at least three to five thousand.
The crowd! You and I were caught off guard, how can we be invincible..."
"However, this is a good thing! The commander-in-chief asked us to fake defeat. Now there is no need to fake defeat. We can just follow the commander-in-chief's orders! I think tomorrow the Jin soldiers will attack Xiegu immediately. We will defend the
The day before last, and the day after tomorrow, continue to retreat towards Baoxie Road!"
"I don't know what the commander's plan is. Thinking about the commander's words, it is simply unpredictable. You and I are ignorant, and the Jin soldiers opposite have no idea! If we are the enemy of the commander, I am afraid we will not die.
Know why!"
The Song army repaired all night, and at Mao o'clock on the second day, the Jin soldiers indeed led troops to attack again, and the Song army barely resisted under the plan of Bian Xi and his two men!
After a day of continuous attack, Pugu Lilan nodded with satisfaction as he saw the Song army panicking and resisting, which might even be defeated at any time.
"Go, send a message to General Sakehun, and ask him to lead his troops as soon as possible tomorrow morning! After the troops are gathered together, directly attack and capture the Xiegu! The Baoxie Road does not have many obstacles. As long as the Xiegu is broken, Song
The army has no chance!"
Pugu Lilan said to the messenger.
That night, Sakehun, who was guarding Xi County, received the news from Pugu Lilan!
"At Yin time tomorrow, I will lead my troops to support General Pugulilan! I will leave you two thousand soldiers and horses to garrison here!"
Sakehun said to the guard of Xi County.
The guard general hesitated for a while, and then said, "General, if there are only two thousand guards left, is it too few?
once……"
Sakehun sneered, "Now, the Song army is exhausted and trapped in the sloping valley. Even if there is not a single soldier in Xi County, what can the Song army do?
With me and General Pugu Lilan blocking the Xie Valley, unless those Song troops have wings, Xi County will naturally be as stable as a mountain!"
When the general heard this, he thought it was indeed true. He immediately smiled and said, "Then I will ask someone to cook early tomorrow. I wish the general victory!"
Early the next morning, Sakehun left two thousand soldiers and horses, and then led other soldiers and horses out of Xiegu to join forces with Pugulilan!
The two men joined forces and attacked Xiegu. As expected, the Song army could not resist and could only retreat towards Baoxie Road! The Jin soldiers held fast and pursued them one after another!
Not to mention the two armies chasing and escaping in Baoxie Road, but only in Xi County! The continuous battles in Xi County have made both the people and soldiers in Xi County extremely nervous. But now, the battle has finally stopped, and everyone can't help but feel nervous.
Everyone relaxed, and even the soldiers guarding the city were drinking wine and gathering in groups to chat.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from the north of Xi County! The expression of the centurion on the top of the city changed, "Get up, there are soldiers and horses outside the city!"
The defenders on the top of the city picked up their weapons in panic and looked outside! Not long after, a cavalry force of about two thousand people appeared in their sights.
"brush!"
The centurion pulled up his long bow and shot an arrow, shouting, "Who is coming? Dismount immediately!"
After finishing speaking, he turned to the soldiers beside him and said, "Go and report to the general immediately!"
The soldiers and horses outside the city were about four to five hundred paces away, and they stopped the horses. Then, the leader shouted in response, "The last general is Danzhou garrison commander Guna. He was originally a disciple of Marshal Dan Kening."
We were ordered to come to Fengxiang Mansion to gather troops, but because there were revolts in Danzhou at that time, we were delayed!"
"Then, if you get the order from the commander-in-chief, you don't need to go to Fucheng, but come directly to Xi County to garrison!"
The centurion on top of the city looked down. Although it was dark, the flags and armor did indeed look like his own soldiers and horses!
"Please wait a moment for General Guna, General Lanwen will be here soon!"
The centurion responded that the Lan Wen he was talking about was the guard general of Xi County!
Not long after, Lan Wen came to the top of the city with hundreds of soldiers, horses and personal guards, asked a few questions, and tested the Tiger Troopers, and felt relieved!
"General Guna, I will immediately ask someone to open the city gate. After everyone enters the city, go to the military camp to rest. I will host a banquet for you tomorrow!"
After a moment, with a creaking sound, the closed city gate slowly opened!
Lan Wen greeted him with a smile, "Thank you for coming from afar. This time, with the help of soldiers and horses from all over the country, the Song army will definitely be defeated!"
The general leading the opposite also laughed and stepped forward. Soon, the two were facing each other. However, when Lan Wen saw the face of the Song Army clearly, he was subconsciously stunned!
"Are you from Song Dynasty?"
"Hey!"
The general opposite grinned, "Yes, I am Cheng Yuhu, a native of Song Dynasty!"
While speaking, he hurriedly took two steps, and the long knife he had already held in his hand was placed directly on Lan Wen's neck!
"General Lan Wen needs to be careful. This long sword has no eyes. If it hurts the general, it will be my fault!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and the soldiers and horses following him surrounded the hundreds of soldiers and horses behind Lan Wen.
At this moment, Lan Wen finally reacted, "You... you are not the defenders of Danzhou?
Are you soldiers of the Song Dynasty?"
Cheng Yuhu chuckled, "General Lan Wen, you have two choices now! One, ask your brothers to surrender, and we will take over this county! You should also know the agreement between my commander-in-chief and your commander-in-chief. If you surrender,
We will not neglect you! Secondly, you can let these people under your command fight us to the death!"
"To tell you the truth, we are just the vanguard. In the rear, five thousand soldiers and horses will arrive in a moment at most during a cup of tea! By then, it will be hard to say whether we will live or die!"
After a long while, Lan Wen finally saw the situation clearly. His face was green and white, with a complicated expression. He couldn't figure out where these Song troops came from! You know, the north of Xi County is his own territory.
…
Turning around and looking behind him, he saw that hundreds of soldiers and horses had been surrounded by the Song army. Now, the city gate was wide open, and there were only more than a thousand soldiers and horses left in the city...
