Chapter 67: It is so decisive

"Burn the hot air balloon!"

Seeing Song Jun's rapid and methodical dispatch, Gao Jingshan, who had a glimpse of Yue Fei's thoughts and knew Wang Bolong very well, felt that his scalp was going to explode. After he calmed down a little, he immediately issued a new message.

Order.

"What?"

Gao Qingyi also saw the problem. He was also sweating profusely, but he couldn't understand Gao Jingshan's order for a while.

"Raise the remaining hot air balloon and burn it as a warning!" Gao Jingshan urged. "This is our fastest and most obvious way at this time."

"Is it useful?" Gao Qingyi asked on the spot.

"You have to try it if it works or not." Gao Jingshan was furious. "I can't remind Wang Bolong, but even if I can't, I can remind Ali and Liohe, remind King Wei and Ba Lisu, hurry up and burn them!" At this point, Gao Jingshan said in a slightly calmer tone.

Wait, let me add a little bit. "Wang Bolong's death is not a pity, but if it is because of him that the general attack fails today, we will really become the turtle in the urn!"

Gao Qingyi was in a trance and hurried away.

However, a hot air balloon, just like the Meng An who Gao Qingyi taught the city defender before, would take time to find, regulate, and then rise again, not to mention that it has to be temporarily changed to one that ignites quickly.

Can it be done in a hurry?

And just when Gao Qingyi conveyed the military order of tossing the hot air balloon and returned to the city again, in the core camp of the Song Army in the north of the city, seeing that the ambush was roughly arranged, Tian Shizhong did not hesitate, leading two commanders and eight

A commander and about 4,000 infantrymen crossed the eastern front where there had been no fighting, directly seized the river embankment on the other side, and challenged the Jin army.

Let's say that from the moment the Song Army's flag crossed the other side of the river embankment, the Jin Army's sentries who were spying on the situation on the opposite river embankment couldn't believe their eyes. But when the Song Army actually crossed the river and stood on this side of the river embankment,

When they began to form the formation, the Jin army, who had just received the news from the sentinels and witnessed this scene with their own eyes, simply turned their consternation into laughter.

There is no way, what kind of Lord will lead what kind of people.

Although Wang Bolong is a standard Han Chinese, in terms of place of origin, he is probably a person from Heilongjiang in later generations (a native of the twin cities of Heilongjiang and Harbin). At present, he is considered a person from the surrounding areas of Huining Prefecture and Huanglong Prefecture, so from a cultural perspective

Generally speaking, he is probably closer to the Jurchens than the Koreans and Bohai people in the south of Liao Dynasty.

What's more, Wang Bolong has very high qualifications and belongs to a group of bandits in the late Liao Dynasty. Like the Jurchens and the group of Bohai people at the same time, he is a revolutionary comrade who resisted the brutal rule of the Liao Dynasty... In addition, Wang Bolong was a member of the Jurchen regime in the very early stage of the Liao Dynasty.

He is a rare Han military leader. He has a rough temperament and does not work as a team like the Bohai people. However, he is a tough general and is decisive and brave in battle. Therefore, although he is Han, he is a direct descendant of the standard Aguda, which is extremely useful.

This can be seen at a glance by looking at his subsequent official positions and experiences.

Aguda died, and Wu Qimai succeeded to the throne. He immediately appointed Jiedushi, and then showed his talents as the second prince to mediate the untrusted generals. He was the most accomplished when he defeated Zhang Jue, was the main general on the left when fighting Baihe, and was the leader when he went south to destroy the Song Dynasty.

The vanguard of the Eastern Route Army, during the Jingkang Incident, he was also one of the main ten thousand households that besieged the city.

The second prince, Yi Li, did not die. He also led the fourth prince Wu Shu and the supervisor Ta Laan to conquer Jingdong, surrendered to Jinan and then fought in Qingzhou. They defeated tens of thousands of Song troops and Shandong rebels in one fell swoop, and forced away Liu Hongdao and Zhao Mingcheng. Afterwards, he ranked first in merit.

.

Immediately, Wushu went south to the Huaihe River, and he was appointed to follow Talan and attack Damingfu, scare Du Chong away, and take all of Hebei.

From then on, he and his ten thousand households have been stationed in the Hejian area, serving as the southern barrier of Yanjing and the main rear force in the Hebei area.

There is no doubt that such a person is one of the core generals of the Jin Army, and his ten thousand households are undoubtedly one of the basic troops of the Jin Kingdom... This has nothing to do with whether he is Han, and whether there are some among his subordinates

How many Han people have nothing to do with the Jurchens.

The more important point is that starting from Huaishang, Wang Bolong happened to avoid several fierce battles between Song and Jin Dynasties. This allowed him to maintain an almost invincible war record, but he never failed to win.

I had a real battle with the so-called imperial army.

If you have to make a serious calculation, during the Northern Expedition, Wang Bolong's troops also had a clear advantage in the battle with the Song army's imperial camp and the right army. The so-called Xiajin victory, and then forced the Song army to abandon the three states and leave.

After such an experience, why should he and his subordinates be cautious?

"What are you laughing at?"

Seeing the Song army hurriedly forming up after crossing the river embankment, he sent envoys to challenge him. After Wang Bolong, who laughed first, finished laughing, he twirled his beard on his horse and looked around again, and his tone became serious. "What are you all laughing at? Are you laughing?"

Don’t you know that it’s justifiable for them to attack, or that it’s a good strategy for them to send envoys to challenge you like this?”

Surrounded by a group of fierce Anmoke, there were Han Chinese, Jurchens, Xi people, and Khitan people, all of whom were as well-armored as Wang Bolong. At this time, they heard the words and started to clean up together, as if they were not the ones laughing just now.

Wang Bolong, who was about to reach his fiftieth year, was a little satisfied when he saw this. Then he pointed his finger at the Song Army's formation with his stomach raised, and then asked with a look of disbelief: "Do you know why they want to take the initiative to attack?"

No one around responded.

Wang Bolong also pointed to himself and explained briefly: "The banner of coming is Tian, ​​and this is Tian Shizhong. Tian Shizhong is the deputy commander of the Zhang family army and the son-in-law of the commander Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun is said to be

He was ill and did not come, so he was asked to bring troops. But it was precisely because of this that Yue Fei of the Yue Family Army became the marshal, and the Zhang Family Army became the junior one this time, and the man named Tian himself was also going to be killed.

Yue Fei insulted..."

Wang Bolong's words were conclusive, and all the generals nodded in agreement.

"If what I expected is correct." Wang Bolong continued to smile. "It must be that the Song army was well prepared with deep trenches and high bases in the west. In addition, the fourth prince had not yet exerted his force, so he blocked it for a while, making these people think that we, Dajin

The soldiers and horses of the country are nothing more than this, so Yue Fei's subordinates used the previous defeat of Zhang Jiajun to us to run against Tian Shizhong... Whenever Tian Shizhong wants to show face and wants to continue to be the commander-in-chief, he will come out to fight with me.

We must make a fuss, otherwise we will have no shame in hanging around in the army... As for Yue Fei, as long as he cares about the overall situation, we can only let him out."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions of astonishment appeared, and one after another they all said that Wan Hu's words made sense.

"As for strategies." Wang Bolong retracted his fingers and continued to twist his beard and said with a smile. "I know the middle section of Master Tian. Although it is far inferior to us, he is not a wimp. If I think correctly, the one named Tian will directly

He went to the river embankment and sent someone to challenge him. His original intention was to surprise us, and then either he became suspicious, or he simply wanted to make us laugh. Anyway, he had to make us confused so that he could take the opportunity to stand up.

Form the formation, lean against the embankment, stand up the big guns and powerful crossbows... In this way, you can at least hold on for a while, and after a while, you can carefully clean up and withdraw, and you can show off in the military formation."

The other generals were stunned, and then one of them asked on the spot: "But if this is the case, how should we deal with it?"

"Simple." Wang Bolong's expression changed again and he ordered sternly. "That means we can't go as Tian wants. He wants to delay, so we have to take advantage of his unsteady footing and overwhelm him! Xiao Chang!"

"The end will be here." Meng'an, the man who took the initiative to ask the question, immediately reined in his horse and spoke.

"Take fifteen Mooke up there and rush down the embankment from the south!"

"Here."

"Zhao Ba!"

"The end is here." A Han general immediately rode forward.

"You are also fifteen Muke, coming from the north."

"yes."

"Where's Lao He?"

"it's here……"

"Don't rush forward. You go and lure the Han soldiers out from behind. When Tian is unable to hold on any longer, hold him in the back for me. When the time comes, follow me and press in to see if you can take advantage of the situation and enter his stronghold..."

"know."

"The rest of the people, wait until Lao Zhao and Lao Xiao are caught between them, then come over with me!" Wang Bolong suddenly raised his hand and waved it down fiercely. "Start immediately, don't wait blindly... In this battle, I still have the whole army.

The vanguard is always at the front with you!"

The generals agreed with a roar.

Immediately, Wang Bolong's tribe, which was originally waiting outside the river on the east side of the Song Army's Dazhai, immediately separated on horseback. Then the cavalry was divided into three, with the two wings spread out first, and went to the Jiatian Division from the left and right sides. Finally, Wang Bolong himself led the troops.

The remaining cavalry immediately rushed forward.

It is said that as soon as Tian Shizhong came out and just crossed the river, he sent a person to challenge him. When Wang Bolong saw the person coming, he only joked for a few words and gave the order directly without waiting at all.

Then he just did it, dropped the infantry, and the cavalry moved first. How fast is this?

Not to mention Gao Jingshan, who was still waiting for the hot air balloon in the city, was stunned for a moment. Even Yue Fei on Tushan Mountain was startled... He was still worried about what if his plan to lure the enemy failed?

However, these people were far apart, so it was normal for their perceptions to be biased. However, there was one person who responded extremely quickly, and that was Tian Shizhong, who was the closest.

You know, in order to lure the enemy, the two control departments that Tian Shizhong brought out were relatively weak ones. They were a little cautious. What made his hair stand on end was that he had just climbed over the river and came to the embankment here.

, and immediately noticed one thing, that is, all of Wang Bolong’s cavalry were fully armored!

This means two things.

First of all, Wang Bolong really couldn't hold himself back for a long time and wanted to fight a long time ago, so he didn't disarm all morning.

Secondly, since the armor is complete, Wang Bolong's troops, especially the main cavalry, can definitely attack at any time.

Ever since, the moment he crossed the embankment and noticed this matter, Tian Shizhong was keenly aware that what he had to worry about next was not whether he would succeed in luring the enemy, but the two lines of defense used to lure the enemy.

Can the Yingyou Military Command be preserved?

In fact, Wang Bolong guessed correctly. The messenger was not there to anger Wang Bolong, but to delay time.

At this time, with this kind of thinking in mind, when the Jin army moved, Tian Shizhong naturally did not hesitate and ordered the front team to change to the rear team, with the two vanguard commanders each leading four to five hundred people as rearguards to cover

The remaining troops quickly crossed the river and retreated to Dazhai.

However, even if Tian Shizhong reacted very quickly, how could the Jin cavalry with two wings and three thousand armors be slow? Seeing the Song army retreating at this time, the Jin army, which had long thought about military achievements and was impatient, was not at all

Without hesitation, without waiting for the formation to be completed and all the troops in position, they rushed along the embankment and attacked from both sides.

The Jin Army's cavalry had no time to adjust the charging group, and the Song Army's troops turned hastily. The two sides got together in a chaotic attitude, and fell directly into a melee.

However, what these two wings of cavalry collided with were the two rear guard headquarters arranged by Tian Division. Therefore, as the commander-in-chief, Tian Division did not waver at all and just urged the central troops to return to the stronghold quickly.

But at this time, Wang Bolong's general flag also moved. Seeing that the Song army was about to retreat, tens of thousands of people, regardless of the unorganized formation, hurriedly led their troops to charge.

Don't tell me, Wang Bolong's charge was really successful.

At this time, the main force of the Song Army had turned its head on the river embankment and was heading up the ice. The two command units left as rearguards together had less than a thousand people. Their wings were pinched and their rear was empty. Then they were charged in front of Wang Bolong.

It suffered huge casualties almost instantly, and then collapsed immediately.

The thousand rear guards completely abandoned their armor and retreated hastily.

At least half of the strategies used to lure the enemy into false defeat result in real defeat.

But at this time, a commander who had cut off the rear keenly discovered another danger: the horse hooves of Wang Bolong's cavalry were actually wrapped in torn linen.

This, of course, did not enable the Jin cavalry to charge on the Yellow River Ice Road, but it was enough to prevent the cavalry from dismounting and directly continue to pursue the broken troops.

As a commander, it was impossible for this man to know the Song Army's plan, but he immediately became panicked.

"Wang Bolong!"

After being dazed and hesitating for a moment, the Song Army commander who had fled to the highest point of the embankment turned his head again, took off his mask, held the iron mace in his hand and said to the bottom of the embankment. "Still."

Remember Anzhou Zhang Kui?!"

Wang Bolong, who was wearing a mask, followed the sound and saw that he was an old friend from Liaodong. He immediately took off his mask and laughed.

But after only laughing for a moment, the Jin Kingdom general suddenly stopped talking, and then turned around to look at each other: "That person is my old friend from Liaodong! He wants to delay us by himself...shoot him to death!"

Hearing the words, many of the cavalry behind him did not hesitate. They swarmed to the bottom of the river embankment, pulled the heavy bows in their hands, and fired intensively at the Song general who was holding his mace on the river embankment. Just between the whistles, Zhang Kui was hit by many heavy arrows.

He shot through the armor and fell down without saying a word.

When Wang Bolong saw this scene, he became more and more hurried: "I was a bastard in the past, but I don't think I have gained some courage today... And he wants to delay it like this, which shows that the people of Song Dynasty are really broken. Don't do it."

If you hesitate, let me pursue you!"

As of now, the man himself was riding a horse, heading west from under the river embankment. Although the speed was not fast, it was better because he didn't hesitate and didn't stop for a moment.

Behind him and around him, the thousands of Liaodong cavalry who were still chasing the Song army along the river embankment saw this. No one dared to fight or fight for the spoils. Instead, they gathered one after another and surrounded them.

Under Wang Bolong's banner and Wang Bolong himself, suppressing the fleeing troops of the Song Army, they surged forward unhurriedly.

When they walked up the embankment, most of their cavalry had already gathered together. When they slowly walked down the river, almost no one was left to pursue them. By the time Wang Bolong's banner followed the Song army's retreating troops across the ice road, thousands of cavalry were already on the way.

On the frozen river, they gathered neatly and resoundingly.

Looking from a distance, it looks majestic and extraordinary.

The whole process only takes a quarter of an hour.

On the mountain, Yue Fei, who had turned his chair in the direction, saw this scene. His face did not change at all. He just turned back to face Huang Zong: "Wang Bolong came too fast. This is a good thing, but you can't let a good thing turn into a bad thing... Let Zhang Xian

Send out troops quickly, don’t wait any longer for Wang Gang, raise the flag immediately and let both sides attack immediately!”

Huang Zong understood and left.

Almost at the same time, Gao Jingshan and Gao Qingyi fell into a strange atmosphere of silence on the gate tower in the north of Yuancheng City.

The two of them stared at Wang Bolong's wolf-like momentum, but neither of them said a word until Wang Bolong's flag overflowed the east side of the river and surged up the embankment of the Song Army camp. Only then did Gao Qingyi return.

When someone comes to his senses, he usually asks:

"Capital, do you want to burn the hot air balloon?"

"Burn it, how not to burn it?!" Gao Jingshan turned around to answer, his tone was terrifyingly calm. "Burning that thing will at least tell the world that we did our best, right?"

Gao Qingyi was so frightened when he saw Wang Bolong's flag reappearing at the highest point of the river embankment that he had the intention of escaping. He just asked the question. However, when he received the order, he turned around and went down to the city again, regardless of the fact that the order had been given.

.

"Call Pu Suyue to come up." Gao Jingshan turned around and took a deep look at the other party and added an order. "I want him to attack depending on the situation... Come back as soon as you finish burning the balloon!"

Gao Qingyi didn't look back, he just nodded and walked away in a hurry.

Just as Gao Qingyi walked down the city wall, Wang Bolong on the other side also walked to the highest point on this side of the river embankment, and finally got a glimpse of the dense and huge camp of the Song army.

Of course, it was impossible for him to see the direction of the Song army's previous maneuvers and guess any obvious ambush like Gao Jingshan in Yuancheng, but this did not delay him from realizing that the order of the Song army's camp was far beyond his imagination.

Therefore, he obviously hesitated.

But it was only for a moment that this man with thousands of qualifications in the Jin Kingdom laughed three times, and then turned back to look at the generals:

"The Song Army's camp is well organized and difficult to trample on, but the Song Army in front is already defeated. Four or five miles ahead on the hill is the Song Army's coach's banner, and the ball is hanging there... We should be the whole army.

The first one to step across the perimeter and set out the line is not worth mentioning. If we can chase the defeated troops to the mountain, then we will have achieved the great feat of shaking the sky!"

The generals had realized what Wang Bolong meant, but at this time some officers were already fearful because of the Song military camp, but they took the initiative to persuade them: "Wanhu, do you want to wait for General He? He will be here in a quarter or two at most.

, if this kind of camp can be supported by five thousand Han infantry, the chance of winning will be more than half."

Wang Bolong rarely thought for a moment.

But at this time, suddenly, the surrounding soldiers made a noise, which attracted all the generals on the ground to follow the sound, but they saw a hot air balloon with the same regulations as the Song Army suddenly rising over Yuancheng in the north.

After Ding Ding looked at it for a while, the Han Wanhu sneered on the spot:

"Gao Jingshan is thinking that I will go to the south to rescue him, instead of setting up camp... He has been acting like this all day long. When things get tough, don't you have to ask me for help?"

All the generals were silent.

"Old Xiao has thought too much and cannot let the defeated army gain a secure foothold." After laughing, Wang Bolong immediately shook his head solemnly, but made his decision again. "If the defeated army slows down in the camp and defends it, we will really

The difficult journey is over...Don't miss this opportunity, press forward immediately!"

At the end of his words, he obviously had a solemn attitude, and what prompted him to make this decision so quickly was actually Gao Jingshan's warning.

The generals did not hesitate, and led their own troops, chasing the defeated Song army down the river embankment and heading towards the mountain to the west, forcing Tian Shizhong's flag to continue to lead the defeated army to the west.

Faintly heading straight towards the Tushan Mountain in the middle.

It was just before noon, and Wang Bolong's troops officially entered the huge Song Army camp.

At almost the same moment, at the northeasternmost side of the Song Army's camp and the center point of the western front, the gates of the village opened simultaneously, and the two Song Army troops who received the signal command left the village almost at the same time... To the northeast was the imperial camp.

The four thousand cavalrymen led by former army commander Zhang Xian were only holding horses wrapped in linen at this time, and they were carefully leaning forward and filing out under the cover of the camps and fortifications, for fear of attracting the attention of Wang Bolong's troops;

To the west, although there were only a thousand heavy steps wearing straw sandals, they were shouting for kill in unison, trying their best to stand out. Under the leadership of the former commander Wang Gang, who had made meritorious service, they rushed to the already chaotic river on the west line, and then just

As soon as the battle took place, they fell directly into fierce physical combat.

At the same time, the head coach of the Jin Army on the Western Front turned to speed and martial arts. In fact, he didn’t think too much about it, because at this moment in the battle, it seemed strong and fierce, but in fact it did not lead to a real decisive victory.

At the time of defeat...the Jin army had not even assembled its surrounding troops, the Song army was not yet exhausted, and the reserve troops in the camps behind it had not yet fought tooth and nail.

In this case, what do you want the two Golden Army coaches to think?

In fact, at this critical moment, all the Jin Army officers were attracted by the hot air balloon on Yuancheng.

After pulling away from Su and Wushu, all the staff and officers were discussing what the hot air balloon meant, but after all, it was nothing more than asking for help and warning.

Confused, the reaction of the top brass of the Jin Army was also very direct. They ordered sentries to go around to inquire about the situation... But the balloon could not be raised anyway, because according to the original plan, the general attack signal this afternoon was to use heat.

Made of balloons.

While I was thinking wildly, the hot air balloon over Yuancheng suddenly started to emit thick smoke again, and then obviously lost control, flying like a real out-of-control Kongming Lantern in the middle of winter.

At this time, the top brass of the Jin Army became even more speechless. Even the fighting soldiers of the two armies in the river on the west side were a little stagnant.

Immediately, the news that a heavy-footed group of more than a thousand warriors from the Song Army entered the river along the Yongji Canal and began to sweep southward was immediately passed on.

Now, no one was hesitating.

"Marshal, Fourth Prince, and Gao Dutong should have reminded us of this matter." Wanhu suddenly looked at the big black smoke ball and sighed on his horse. "Song Jun also noticed that the Western Front

The southern section is a weak point, so troops were dispatched in time to sweep the river and reduce the pressure..."

"That's right." At this time, Wu Shu only felt that what Tu Hesu said was all nonsense, but he could only nod, but then shook his head with emotion again. "Although it is a large Kongming Lantern, Song Jun's hot air balloon is obviously fireproof.

Number of ways, if our hot air balloon rises three times, two of it will burn... You see, Gao Dutong here is just a warning, and it immediately started burning... So we can only use it as a signal for a general attack."

"The most urgent task at this time is to send an elite force to block the Song army's heavy advance, so as to prevent the situation from getting worse and giving the Song army a real chance to breathe." Ba Lisu did not discuss the thoughts of the hot air balloon. "Suddenly, you are good at foot combat.

, send out twenty mouke, and quickly go to intercept it."

Tu Hesu immediately received the order, named a few Meng'an, decided on the order, formed a troop of troops, and sent them out immediately.

Even if this matter comes to an end, on the Western Front, all the top brass of the Jin Army are focusing on when the hot air balloon will burn out, when it will fall, or where it will land.

Of course, the battlefield was so huge that Wushu Balisu and others did not know the meaning of the hot air balloon, but some people were sensitive to it based on the intelligence.

Directly north of Yuancheng, the Song Army's camp was further north. Ali and Li Tong, who were gathering in a safe area, noticed the burning hot air balloon. Moreover, they were the first Jin Army troops to notice any changes in Wang Bolong's troops.

Gao Jingshan might be warning Wang Bolong not to attack without permission! This possibility was immediately recognized as the two generals met in a hurry. So the two temporarily changed their battle plan, and the Ali tribe on the east side immediately gathered their cavalry and crossed the Yellow River.

Reach Wang Bolong from the east.

To be fair, based on this point, Gao Jingshan's warning has been successful.

However, in order to prevent encountering obstacles on the river, the Ali tribe, which originally had no plan to cross the river, needed to temporarily add anti-slip measures to the war horses.

And everyone, from the Song Army to the Jin Army, from Yue Fei to Tian Shizhong, from Gao Jingshan to Ali, including Yu He, what everyone was helpless about was that Wang Bolong was too fast!

Everyone is following the steps, but Wang Bolong is so decisive from beginning to end!

Tian Shizhong came out to lure the enemy, but Wang Bolong launched an attack as soon as he came out; Gao Jingshan tried to warn, but the hot air balloon did not rise, so Wang Bolong directly crossed the Yellow River in the east; as soon as the hot air balloon rose, it had not yet risen.

After lighting up, before Ali Piaohe realized the danger, Wang Bolong's troops had already broken into the Song Army camp.

So, just when the hot air balloon was billowing with smoke and Ali Piaohe realized the danger, he temporarily decided to change the battle plan and make the necessary preparations for rescue. Wang Bolong and his ten thousand households were still one step ahead, even falling into anxiety and danger.

So decisive.

There is no way.

On the top of the city, Gao Jingshan watched this scene coldly. He saw that Wang Bolong scattered his cavalry into the thick and complicated camp of the Song army in order to gain credit; seeing these things, he could have run amok in the field.

The elite soldiers of the Hundred Battles were naturally divided due to the camp and terrain, as well as the pursuit of the defeated Song army; he saw that these cavalry had to dismount and fight on foot in order to fight effectively and avoid the intensive bows and arrows.

Now, he saw the Song Army cavalry that impressed him deeply.

This cavalry cautiously tried to sneak across the river, but as soon as they set foot on the east river, they attracted the attention and warning of Wang Bolong's remaining subordinates.

After receiving the warning, Wang Bolong turned his horse around in surprise and put his head on the river embankment to take a look. With just one glance, Wanhu, an experienced war veteran, suddenly came to his senses, and his expression changed drastically:

"Wave the flag!"

The surrounding officers were caught off guard.

"Wave the flag!" Wang Bolong turned around, his face more serious than ever. "Wave the flag immediately and let the front troops withdraw! This is a trap!"

The principal beside him was in a daze, and he quickly waved several flags together and blew the bugle.

In the Song army camp, the Jin army, which was still advancing despite some difficulties, dismounted and remounted their horses and turned back in shock. The sound and flag clearly meant that they wanted to retreat, but why did they want to retreat?

They had no vision at all from below and had no idea what was going on.

Many people immediately became panicked.

"Start immediately!" On Tushan Mountain, Yue Fei was condescending and issued another military order without hesitation.

For a time, seven or eight red flags were waving on Tushan Mountain, which served as the command platform of the Song Army, while the right army of the imperial camp, which had long been hidden in one side of the camp, was carrying the Wei army, that is, the long ax that had long been unable to hold back.

The heavy infantry, under the leadership of Zhang Zigai, immediately followed the familiar camp road and eagerly attacked the Jin army pouring into the camp from the flanks.

At the same time, several reserve teams at the foot of Tushan also swarmed forward. Tian Shizhong, who was extremely aggrieved at the front line, turned around, set his own flag, and ordered a counterattack.

Even some brave civilians began to use their familiarity with the terrain to pour out of some small villages and try to seize those precious war horses.

There was no gap between the movements of both sides, as if Wang Bolong's decisive withdrawal summoned the Song army's ambush.

At this time, some of the knights of the Golden Army who had noticed the movement around them woke up and turned their heads one after another. However, those dense trenches, camps, and corridors remained cold and unchanged. How they prevented them from advancing effectively before, how to counterattack now

came and became an obstacle to their retreat.

In panic, even the elite of Bai Zhan fell into some kind of confusion.

On the river embankment, Wang Bolong could see more clearly than these soldiers... The extremely obvious elite heavy step advance was extremely fast, and it intentionally or unintentionally moved towards the east outer embankment, as if he wanted to move his

The subordinates surrounded the camp and devoured them all.

At the same time, the retreat speed of his subordinates was too slow.

If this continues, it seems to be only a matter of time before the troops that smashed into the Song Army camp will be completely surrounded and annihilated. As the commander-in-chief, he must make a quick decision, whether to lead his bodyguards and the infantry behind him to respond, or to

The strong man cuts off his wrist and retreats immediately?

Wang Bolong stood on the river embankment, and the war horse under his crotch led him around several times, which also made his eyes focus on the subordinates lying in front of him, the huge Yuancheng on the south, more and more Song Army cavalry on the river to the north, and behind him

On the embankment on the east bank, the infantry formations rotated repeatedly.

Finally, Wang Bolong, who was so decisive, became decisive again. He pulled down his mask, turned his horse's head, and rode eastward, taking his last cavalry and bodyguards with him to find his infantry array.

No less than forty Mou Ke were thrown into the Song army's camp!

And these forty Mooke were like insignificant ink stains in the huge camp, being quickly cleaned up by a huge rag.

Wang Bolong retreated, disappointing everyone.

The Jin army was at a low place and witnessed their general abandoning him. Naturally, he was frustrated and angry. Yue Fei and other generals were also disappointed when they saw Wang Bolong escaping with his limbs cut off at such a speed... This is ten thousand households, and it is equivalent to

The general who founded thousands of households in the country is known as the most brave general in the Eastern Route Army.

What a pity.

Even Tian Shizhong felt a little unfair. He had sacrificed hundreds of lives, and might even have lost thousands of people in the end, to catch this big fish. Not to mention that Wang Bolong ran away at this time, it was Jin Jun's.

He found it difficult to accept that the infantry did not follow.

"Damasao, how many people are here?"

On the other side of the Yellow River in the east, the heavily armored deputy general Yang Zaixing turned to look at each other on his horse.

"A little more than three hundred..." Guo Jin, the commander on the side, told him seriously. "Three of them are, but one of them is a minor official."

"That's two hundred, both of them, one for each of us." Yang Zaixing spoke while swinging the iron gun back and forth in his hand. "Lao Guo, that man surnamed Wang has a household of ten thousand, how could he be allowed to run away like this?

If I don't rush, I will definitely not be able to sleep tonight... I haven't fought since I crossed the river!"

Guo Jin thought for a while, then looked back at the "little officials" who were reorganizing the troops under the river embankment in the distance, that is, the young marshal Yue Yun who, according to the custom, was carrying the title of "Ji Yi" and was actually the commander-in-chief of the Wei Army.

Then he nodded: "I think it's okay... let's rush in quickly before the official can react!"

After saying that, Yang Zaixing reined in his horse and turned around. He gave a whistle on the horse and pulled down his mask. Then there was no flag or words. He just took the lead and headed towards the Jin Army, which still had five thousand soldiers.

The infantry marched away in great formation.

In other words, it was heading towards the king-shaped banner that had just entered the infantry formation.

Guo Jin followed closely behind, both of them carrying the Wei army. They were both accustomed to following others, so they immediately caught up with him without hesitation. Only the man who was cleaning up the city under the river embankment was obviously a little stunned, but he was looking towards him.

After taking a first look at the situation, Xiaodu, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, chose to remain still with a slight commotion.

The little one, Yue Yun, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, was obviously a little confused... He had just entered the battle, how would he know what to do?

If you don't go, does that mean you are cowardly in the face of battle?

But if he goes, does it count as attacking without authorization?

Who will get the military stick?

But soon, as a general appeared on the river embankment with hundreds of riders who were no longer covered at all, this doubt was immediately dispelled.

"Yue Yun!" Zhang Xian glared at him on the river embankment. "The enemy troops are all running away. Are you in a daze? All the cavalry here are with you. Take them to Damashio quickly! Remember,

If you make a mistake, I will give you twenty army sticks!"

Yue Yun received the order, and without hesitation, he immediately got on his horse, led the two or three hundred horsemen who had just crossed the river, plus his own capital, and chased Guo and Yang.

Zhang Xian, on the other hand, stayed where he was, urging the outnumbered troops behind him... There was no battle across the river, but the Beiwei Army of the imperial camp's right army repeatedly made the final decision. From Tian Shizhong's point of view, he was certainly manipulated, but

From the perspective of the two armies below Zhang Xian and Zhang Zigai, it is Zhang Zigai's troops who are increasingly respected in the camp, while the cavalrymen of the imperial camp's front army have become the object of innuendo by many people.

Some people even say that Marshal Yue’s real back Wei army is Zhang Jiedu’s army. How could Zhang Xian tolerate this?

In this way, Zhang Xian organized his troops here, and sent out one capital as soon as he organized them. On the other side, a small group of cavalry speeded up, so fast. They were only a few miles apart. Wang Bolong had just led his infantry to the east, a few hundred steps away from the embankment.

That’s all, the two sides can fight directly!

Of course Wang Bolong saw this small group of cavalry, and was equally flustered... But what worried him was not the power of these two hundred cavalry, but the fear that after being bitten, the Song Army cavalry would continue to tear him apart.

Therefore, he immediately pointed out the two assassins and asked them to lead the remaining two hundred horses to meet him.

But at this time, the Jin army was already panicking. The two cavalrymen who were plotting to conquer were very cold-hearted when they saw Wang Bolong abandoning most of the main force. At this time, they had to order to meet the Song army cavalry. The key is that there are more cavalry behind them.

The smoke and dust are billowing, and it is obvious that there is constant support. How can you be willing to die?

Once your heart is in turmoil, you won't dare to openly disobey the order, but you will inevitably slow down your actions.

At the same time, General Guo Yang was definitely not rushing. When they saw that there were many cavalry supporting Wang Zi's banner, and there were constant reinforcements behind them, they simply turned slightly and rushed towards the advancing east side together.

The Jin army's foot formation was placed at the edge of the formation to prevent the Jin army from escaping.

The two of them worked together very well. The two hundred cavalry were like two huge iron spears, and the second general was like the tip of a spear that was not rusty and blunt. While avoiding the somewhat slow-moving Jin Army cavalry, they kept attacking from the Jin Army infantry.

Loose pieces were found at the corners of the array and the flesh was cut out one after another.

After succeeding only two or three times, the Jin army's infantry array became somewhat chaotic.

When Yue Yun arrived with several hundred cavalry and ran into the Jin army's blocking force, the chaos intensified and the retreat speed of the army was obviously hindered.

The situation that Wang Bolong was most worried about appeared.

Then, the famous Jin general who was known as the most brave in the East Route Army hesitated again, and once again made a quick decision. He did not know how many times he pulled down his mask and ordered the remaining few hundred riders to leave together.

Infantry formation, to drive away the two small groups of cavalry that blocked the retreat of the infantry formation.

This time, he really wasn't escaping, and he did not leave the infantry array, because he had realized that if he abandoned the infantry again, he would inevitably become a hunted target in the wilderness.

He really wanted to save the infantry, and he also wanted to save himself.

However, when he saw the cavalry under Commander Wang Bolong disperse and rush toward him, Yang Zaixing was excited, because the opponent's action also revealed a flaw and opened the tight door of the infantry.

Without waiting for Guo Jin to make a whistle call, Yang Zaixing brandished his iron spear and led the dozens of cavalry behind him upstream against the Jin army's cavalry. Guo Jin saw it from a distance and was furious, but he had to give up his original tactics and led his troops forward.

He tried his best to protect Yang Zaixing.

Wang Bolong stood under his banner and saw this scene through the eye holes in his mask.

He saw that the first cavalryman was carrying a huge iron gun, but he was as easy as waving a small gadget. He rushed all the way upstream, but he continued to kill his own cavalry, but he killed more than ten people in a moment.

And it kept advancing towards him, but he vaguely thought of his appearance during the battle more than ten years ago.

At that time, the siege was unsuccessful, so he lost his helmet. Instead of retreating, he simply put on heavy armor and carried a large pot as a helmet. Then he climbed the ladder with an iron spear and killed twenty people on the city with his own hands.

If there are many people, the first step is to destroy the city.

From then on, even Lu Bu did not dare to show his courage in front of him.

This person today is no less brave than I was back then!

The order I just gave was not wrong, it was just that this man's courage was truly impressive.

With this thought, Wang Bolong mustered up his courage, took off his big gun from his horse, and faced the enemy.

When Yang Zaixing saw a general with extraordinary armor coming from his banner, how could he not know it was Wang Bolong? He was even more delighted, so he killed several more cavalrymen, grabbed him, then drew his spear and stabbed him. But Wang Bolong just raised his hand to catch it, and felt

His arms went numb, and then he suddenly woke up... This was not a question of whether he was still brave as before, but that the other party was infinitely stronger than when he was in his prime!

At this moment, the founder of the Jin Kingdom Wanhu didn't hesitate anymore. He leaned over to hug the horse with one hand and dragged the gun away with the other hand, trying to scatter outwards with his scattered cavalry... At this point, he didn't think about anything anymore.

In war, we just want to survive.

But since Wang Bolong escaped, his bodyguards, who were somewhat loyal, swarmed in and tried to stop Yang Zaixing at the risk of their lives. However, no matter how tyrannical Yang Zaixing was, he would kill one by one.

On the contrary, the mantis was catching the cicada and the oriole was behind, and Guo Jin was behind to block Yang Zaixing. When he saw this scene, he knew that the key was coming, but he moved forward hard to block the general face to face.

Wang Bolong is not a person with poor eyesight. The person he spied on before is the same as the person before. He has the sharpest point of the Hundred Cavalry. His arms are still numb here. If he dares to go right, he immediately turns around again and panics.

Usually crashes into another cavalry regiment.

On the chaotic battlefield, Yue Yun held the two maces gifted by his father and watched with his own eyes as the extraordinary armored general turned around several times and finally rushed towards him. He was also confused and slightly worried for a moment... If this person was from

If you escape here, will you be punished with a military stick?

But Zhang Tongzhi's order was to hand over the troops to Commander Guo. If he didn't do it, would he also be beaten with twenty army sticks?

But no matter how his thoughts pushed him, as the Jin Army general with sophisticated armor and exquisite cloak rushed forward, Yue Yun, who had just entered the battle formation, was startled, but he immediately moved forward to meet him, and wielded his maces to hit him personally.

.

When Wang Bolong saw that it was just an ordinary man with a short stature, he was naturally not afraid, and immediately raised his gun to block it. As a result, he just raised the gun, and his already numb arm suffered severe pain and lost control, and he lost the gun on the spot.

That's not all, this short guy didn't dare to neglect. He knocked down the opponent's weapon with one mace, and the other mace fell directly after it, and continued to hit the opponent's shoulder, and then hit it again and again, as seriously as smashing wood during training.

Not stopping for a moment.

However, Wang Bolong was hit so hard that he was so shaken that he couldn't even make a sound. The pain caused him to lose control, and he fell off his horse on the spot.

But Yue Yun did not dare to be careless in the slightest, for fear that the other party would pretend to be dead, so he turned over and dismounted under the cover of his own cavalry, and hit the ground with his mace more than a dozen times, hitting the ground so hard that the man's entire armor was deformed.

Then he abandoned this man and mounted his horse to fight again, trying to complete the task assigned by Zhang Xian, which was to hand over these hundreds of horses to Guo Jin.

Not to mention Yue Yun, let's talk about Wang Bolong, a famous general, but he failed to die as well as the king in another time and space. In the end, he was smashed to the ground by a fledgling boy without even cutting off his head.

.

In the distance, Yang Zaixing chased him all the way. He was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. When he turned around, he heard another exclamation. It was Guo Jin who caught a glimpse of the gap and grabbed Wang Bolong's flag with all his strength and broke it on the ground.

.

At this moment, Yang Zaixing was completely speechless and could only turn his horse's head and charge indiscriminately.

This scene sounds very complicated. In fact, it only lasted two quarters of an hour. If we count from the time when Tian Shizhong came to lure the enemy, the whole process actually took less than an hour... In fact, at this time, Ali's troops had just

I'm ready to cross the ice road, but I haven't set off yet.

It can only be said that Wang Bolong's decisiveness and speed surpassed everyone's imagination.

On the top of Yuancheng City, Gao Jingshan watched with his own eyes as Wang Bolong's military formation was dispersed by a small group of elite cavalry of the Song Army. He saw with his own eyes that Wang Bolong's flag was submerged in the chaos, and then saw with his own eyes the soldiers trapped in the Song Army's camp.

The dozens of Mooke were completely surrounded, but they fell into an eerie silence from unknown time.

Behind him, Gao Qingyi and Pu Suyue had nothing to say.

There is no way, Wang Bolong is too fast.

"Pu Suyue!" Suddenly, Gao Jingshan turned around to look at each other. "Send troops!"

"Capital, what's the point of sending troops at this time?" Pu Suyue smiled bitterly, obviously confused.

"The detour troops sent by the Fourth Prince should arrive soon. You go out from the southeast water gate, lead the horse across the river, and meet them!" Gao Jingshan gave the order with an expressionless face. "See if you can join them there.

Let’s try to save as many people as possible together.”

Pu Suyue was still puzzled: "Capital! I probably understand what you mean. At this time, the Song army is busy annihilating Wang Bolong's subordinates and cannot go out. But even so, it will inevitably be defeated by Wang Gui and the southern line of Daming City.

Tang Huai's attack will inevitably result in casualties... What's more, even if you go out, how can you come back?"

Gao Jingshan looked at the other party with a strange look, and then suddenly said something irrelevant: "Pu Suyue, the person who made the first move to sue your father that day was not someone else, but me... That's why I can stay as a daimyo.

He then took advantage of the ups and downs in the government and became the governor of the capital... In other words, I have a share of the credit for your father's death and death in Xiaowuxi... Do you know?"

Pu Suyue was stunned on the spot, then his face flushed, and his breathing gradually became heavier, which attracted the guards on the city wall to be alert, but in the end this man just remained silent and just stood there with his knife in hand.

"This is a military order, execute it quickly." Gao Jingshan urged, and then said no more.

Pu Suyuegan stood for a while and then walked down the tower in a hurry. Gao Jingshan's guards followed him downstairs at the signal of his capital commander, as if they were escorting some criminals.

"Capital!" As soon as Pu Suyue left, Gao Qingyi, who had previously pretended to be dead, immediately stepped forward. "Why is this?"

"Let him go!" Facing Gao Qingyi, Gao Jingshan certainly didn't behave like that, but leaned against the railing and sighed in response.

"I've already said it, why is this happening?" Gao Qingyi continued to stamp his feet.

"How could it not be like this?" Gao Jingshan's tone was slightly dejected. "After setting up the stronghold overnight, I knew that Yuancheng only had 40% chance of survival. It was not a pity that Wang Bolong died today, but almost an entire ten thousand households were lost, and moreover...

It was so fast that today's offensive was almost abandoned, and the hard work of the previous few days was instantly wasted, but it left Yuancheng with only 10% chance of survival..."

"Dutong." Gao Qingyi became increasingly uneasy. "Not even 10%."

"Even if it's not the case, the way out is not inside, but outside! What's the use of staying here?" Gao Jingshan cheered up and said calmly. "If you have a heart, try to save me outside!

You can't let me go with you, can you? If I abandon the city and leave, King Wei will definitely kill me to enforce military law."

Gao Qingyi was also sad, and then responded with difficulty: "Du Tong, in fact, if Du Tong wants to live..."

"Stop talking." Gao Jingshan quickly shook his head. "I can't surrender... After all, the Wanyan family's kindness in knowing and meeting each other is there. In twenty years, Fan has unified the capital, commanded tens of thousands of troops, and sat in a famous city, so he surrendered.

What's the point of thinking that I am the second sage of the Song Dynasty? After you go out, tell the King of Wei and ask him to rest assured, saying that if there is an emergency, I will never bring shame to the country."

Gao Qingyi was completely speechless and could only grit his teeth and said: "If so! I will try my best to turn the capital around in front of King Wei in order to have a chance to win!"

Gao Jingshan nodded repeatedly, obviously in a perfunctory manner.

Gao Qingyi did not stay any longer and went directly downstairs.

Let’s not mention how these Bohai people lamented the situation. They only said that since Wang Bolong was dead, his main cavalry was still surrounded in the camp, and the infantry remaining on the other side of the river were also massacred. Both sides almost collapsed together, but

Only a quarter of an hour later, Ali's troops, who had already seen the defeated army and realized that the situation was not good, hurriedly appeared in the north.

The Song army's back Wei cavalry army was immediately divided into two. One group engaged in a melee with the Ali tribe to block the attack, while the other group continued to charge and kill in an attempt to annihilate as many of the Jin army's defeated troops as possible.

However, as more and more of Ali's cavalry crossed the river, especially when the remaining cavalry in Yuancheng braved huge casualties and forced themselves out of the frozen water gate, and gradually appeared on the south side, Beiwei's army finally gave up on annihilating Wang Bolong.

The last remaining intention was to start a cautious retreat.

Half an hour later, as the Song army completely withdrew to the camp, calm returned to the eastern front of the battlefield, and the civilians even began to repair the defense line at the easternmost end. On the south side of the eastern front, Nian Lubu and Wanyan Ben

The flag finally arrived belatedly and appeared behind Daming Castle.

When these two generals encountered a broken army on the road, they were already panic-stricken. When they met up with Ali's tribe, found out the specific battle situation, and found Wang Bolong's body that was already like cotton wool, they were completely panic-stricken, as if they were heartbroken.

This is not a matter of defeat and setback at all, nor is it a matter of generals dying in battle. This is a matter of tens of thousands of households being wiped out out of thin air, and being wiped out so quickly!

Considering that at this juncture, if something like this happened, it would be more than just the loss of ten thousand households.

There are some truths that these generals may not be able to explain clearly, but it does not prevent them from having a perceptual and keen understanding in their hearts.

In the afternoon, the scheduled time for the general attack arrived. Wanyan Benjian, Tian Lubu, Ali, Gao Qingyi, Pu Suyue and other generals who escaped from the city just stood there, but they didn't know how to deal with it, let alone whether to attack.

Launch a general offensive according to the original plan.

Ali simply didn’t know where to go.

Not only this side, but also the Liaohe tribe in the north heard the news and didn't know whether they should die on the Song Army's strongest northern defense line.

However, there was a delay in the transmission of the message. The main force of the Golden Army on the Western Front, who was unaware of this, still organized and distributed its troops, and raised the hot air balloon at the scheduled time at great risk.

It was only after the hot air balloon rose that the top commanders of the Jin Army also realized that something was wrong with the war, because at least Laohe did not launch the involvement operation as planned, and there was no reason for the movement of three thousand households on the eastern front to be so small.

In the midst of hesitation and confusion, a horse came from the north. Liaohe handed over the exact information he had just learned before Ba Lisu and Wushu could question him.

Ba Lisu looked first, dumbfounded on the spot, and then his hands began to tremble without concealment.

Wu Shu couldn't bear it any longer, so he stepped forward and snatched it away with his hands. But this time, as the back of his head felt churning again, he could no longer hold back as before.

"Wang Bolong! Give me back my ten thousand households!" On the bank of the Yellow River, Ben Ben shouted, and Wu Shu felt that his vision went dark and he almost fell off his horse.

Fortunately, the Grand Master's slave was by his side and supported the King of Wei.

Just when Wu Shu was shaken by the intelligence and was in a dilemma, the last trace of the war in the Song Army camp was completely ended. The first battle was to pull out the teeth of the tiger. Although there were twists and turns, he finally achieved a miracle. The earth mountain that served as the command platform was naturally inexplicably exciting.

Like the Jin Army on both sides, they may not be able to tell a thing or two, but they all know that at this juncture, an effective force that annihilated the Jin Army so quickly and smoothly has an impact that is definitely beyond defeating itself.

.

Tian Shizhong is even more keenly aware that the overall situation that originally seemed difficult has been loosened.

At this time, Yue Fei, who had not left his seat for almost the entire journey, noticed a messenger, and then turned to Huang Zong, whose expression changed significantly after hearing the news: "What's the matter?"

"King Commander Wang Gang was seriously injured and died shortly after returning." Huang Zong had no choice but to respond.

Yue Fei was silent for a moment, nodded slightly to express his understanding, and then looked to the west without saying a word.

Over there, the sound of killing was still loud, and there were still hundreds of thousands of troops fighting hard up and down the river, as if nothing had happened.

But people have done it and things are done, so how can there be no change?

PS: Thanks to the new leader, I don’t want tragedy, this is the 191st cuteness in this book.
