The Jurchen nobles all intend to withdraw their troops, and Aguda has had enough. The Great Wall Corps opposite is like a swamp, making people trapped in it with nothing to do.
No matter how brave the soldiers are, they can't deal with these people. They don't fight you decisively, but defend and counterattack.
Whenever there is a slight risk of being annihilated, they will huddle within solid fortifications to defend themselves. As long as they can be solved with bows and arrows, they will never engage in hand-to-hand combat.
All kinds of weird gunpowder, some have poisonous smoke, some burn violently, or they scatter and injure people.
Even if today's Jurchen warriors still have the courage to overthrow the Liao Dynasty, they are helpless in the face of such a defensive line.
The army has been on the march for a long time, and the capital and capital behind it are often in emergency, and the grasslands in the west are about to change.
Everyone knows that when the snow melts, the Jurchens will face a violent storm.
At this time, it is unwise to waste money, food, troops and horses here.
Wanyan Aguda intends to withdraw to Huanglong Mansion, repair his troops and wait for the decisive battle.
As soon as this proposal was made, everyone in the big tent agreed. The Jurchens were not keen on the territory. Anyway, they had just snatched it, so they didn't feel bad about it.
No one wanted to waste time here with the Song army on the opposite side, so elite cavalry came out from outside the tent and went to each camp to issue orders.
Wanyan Loushi was not qualified to participate in the big account meeting. After receiving the order, he also began to prepare for retreat.
Several generals were unwilling to say: "Lou Shi, aren't you going to avenge Zong Han?"
Lou Shi sighed, lowered his head and said: "We defeated the Khitan and our morale reached its peak. We should have gone south in one go and completely defeated the weak Song people. Unfortunately, we missed the opportunity. Now that the Song people have come to their senses, they have become more and more popular in recent years.
The stronger the fight, the more hopeless it is to go south, and it is more important to defend the current territory."
"You have been having such a smooth life these years, but you may have forgotten that for us Jurchens to survive, tolerance is more important than bravery. How did the Liao dogs bully us in the first place? They gritted their teeth and endured it. When the time comes, they will be killed.
Trampled underfoot."
"Now it's time for us to be patient for a while. The old emperor's decision was very wise. He was ordered to withdraw his troops. However, the Song people's sentries are more numerous than the snowflakes on the ground. No matter how hard you hide the withdrawal, you can't hide it from them. Du Hu,
You and I lead the people to the rear, preparing to ambush the Song people who come to pursue us."
In the Jin barracks, the Jurchen conspirators, who had long been eager to return home, were all happy when they heard the order to withdraw their troops.
As for the surviving vassal troops, they are looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for the day when they will withdraw their troops.
Song Jun is like a piece of dog-skin plaster, you can't hit it, you can't hide it, it slowly sticks to you, getting tighter and tighter. In the end, you will be strangled by the neck, and you will inevitably be consumed alive.
The Jin soldiers withdrew without too much cover-up. Now they are not afraid of fighting, but unable to fight.
If the Song people broke out of their forts and fortifications and chose to fight with them in the wild, it would be too late for the Jurchens to be happy in such icy and snowy weather.
On the other side of the Baiyu River, Zongze looked at the retreating Jurchen soldiers and horses, waved his hands directly and said: "Get ready to cross the Baiyu River and start building a fort on the other side of the river."
"Don't pursue it?" Wang Zhen asked.
Wu Jie smiled and said: "Wanyan Loushi is a Jurchen general. How can he not be prepared for our pursuit? If we pursue rashly, we may fall short and be pushed back into the Baiyu River. We will advance slowly, like Qin Long cannibalizing
Just like Xixia, we should be sure that everything is safe."
Yang Keshi still disagreed and stood up and said: "If you are concerned about Lou Shi's bravery, I will be the vanguard and destroy the enemy's rear troops."
Yao Pingzhong held his shoulders, shook his head, and said: "Young Zai has given you many orders not to rush northward in winter. Just follow the generals' ideas and advance slowly. You are an old man in the Western Army. Why don't you have any patience?"
It took decades to capture Hengshan, but I have never seen a trace of recklessness among our ancestors."
Yang Keshi sighed, sat down, and said no more.
The Jurchens safely withdrew to Huanglong Mansion in Liaodong. Yao Pingzhong's troops, Zongze, Wang Zhen, Wu Jie, and Yang Keshi all crossed the Baiyu River and took over large areas of land.
The people in these places had been killed to the last tenth by the Jurchen soldiers and horses, and corpses were strewn all over the place and paved the roads.
In order to prevent the plague from happening again, the Song army began to burn the corpses, which lasted for three days without finishing the process.
In the Great Wall area, Han Shizhong finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to send sporadic troops across the Great Wall to push the defense line northward.
The two sides met two hundred miles north of Tanzhou. There was a lot of jubilation in front of the formation, waving weapons to signal.
---
In Bianliang, Yang Lin held the battle report and couldn't say how happy he was.
If the Jurchens continue to stay here and fight against themselves, that is what he wants to see most. In this way, the Jurchens' strength will be preserved, and the difficulty of future decisive battles will increase.
Aguda withdrew his troops this time and returned not to Huining Mansion but to Huanglong Mansion.
His purpose is obvious, it must be to collect troops and horses nearby, reorganize the rear area, and wait for an opportunity to fight again.
Fortunately, the soldiers on the front line obeyed their orders and did not pursue them in a hot-headed manner.
Otherwise, if you turn around and shoot each one, you may kill the Song army from victory to defeat.
Gao Bing rushed in excitedly and said loudly: "Young Zai, our soldiers defeated the Jurchen Tatars and regained hundreds of miles of lost territory in one fell swoop. It's gratifying and congratulatory."
Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled randomly and said: "That's right, let the Department of Culture and Education issue a newspaper to inform the world."
Gao Bing happily took the good news to the Department of Culture and Education. He was the palace commander, and the people from the Department of Culture and Education did not dare to neglect him and invited him to Cai Jing's department.
After hearing his intention, Cai Jing immediately smiled and said, "Is this Wen Yuan's idea?"
"Grand Master, don't worry. Although Gao Bing came up with this idea, Shaozai nodded and approved it."
Victory reports depend on whether you need a big victory or not. Sometimes it is not good to blindly win.
Since Yang Lin approved it, Cai Jing no longer hesitated and was too lazy to think about the pros and cons. He just dictated it and let the penman write it down.
After a while, a fresh newspaper from Di was published and spread throughout the Song Dynasty through the inns in the capital.
This Jin people's withdrawal was called "New Year's Day Victory" by the Department of Culture and Education.
The eloquent 10,000-word hymn describes in detail how the Song army defeated the Jurchen soldiers and horses, and then broke through the Great Wall in one fell swoop, completing a feat that had never been seen since the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
It is impassioned and touching. Even those who have personally experienced such bloody battles cannot write such a magnificent article.
Yang Lin held the Di newspaper and almost cried while reading it. If he didn't know that it was a fake, he would probably be confused.
Yang Lin knew the whole story, but most people in the world didn't, and the whole country suddenly burst into joy.
This New Year kicked off with a "New Year's Day victory".
