436、The Whole Line Retreats
Jin Dynasty.
Beijing.
“You guys are talking, don’t you always say that you are the most courageous warriors? Why don’t you say a word now! 39
Wanyan Sheng got up from the dragon chair and kept pacing back and forth, yelling loudly.
erosion.
Now the situation in the southwest of the Jin Dynasty is completely corrupted.
Seeing that one-sixth of the Jin Dynasty’s territory, and even the entire Central Plains region was in danger, Wanyan Sheng felt a splitting headache.
The Jin Dynasty has always been known for its bravery.
There is even a saying that Jurchen is dissatisfied with ten thousand, full of ten thousand invincible.
But what about in front of you?
For the first time, the 80,000-strong army of the Jin Dynasty was completely wiped out by the 10,000-strong army of the Han Dynasty.
This time, the 70,000 elites were defeated by the 10,000 Yu Han army.
This is called a fart invincible!
Just hit him to death.
The Jin Dynasty generals under the stage looked at each other in dismay.
Lose the “nine five zero” people!
During the few months of war with the Han Dynasty, not to mention the death of hundreds of thousands of elites, even the generals have died a lot.
The King of Lu Wanyan Changcheng was destroyed and killed, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition Wanyan Gao was captured, the generals Wanyan Zongqian and Wanyan Zongpan, the vanguard Puchabuluo, and the former deputy general Nahe Dunen were all beheaded.
It can be said that this time, one third of the senior generals of the Jin Dynasty were lost.
“Your Majesty, according to the soldiers who came back from the front line this time, the Han people rely on the power of firearms! And they are not ordinary firearms. They are very different from the firearms of the Song Dynasty army…”
Wanyan Xiyi came out and said.
He is a rare advisor of the Jin Dynasty.
Not only planned to capture the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also created the Jurchen script, which had an unparalleled influence on the Jin Dynasty court.
He introduced the power of the firearms of the Han Dynasty in detail to the important officials in the court.
“The first is the distance. The power of the Han army’s firearms can even reach 100 meters away, and it has no effect at all to open fire in time, and the firing interval is extremely short, and it can even be said that there is no interval…
“There is also the artillery of the Han army, which is not only powerful, a dozen gates can knock down a solid city wall, but the sound is also very terrifying. Many of our cavalry’s horses were startled by the loud noise, causing the soldiers to fall off their horses. ..”
Wanyan Xiyi said it in great detail.
The more carefully he explained, the more worried expressions appeared on the faces of the court ministers.
“My God! Isn’t this ten times stronger than the firearms of the Song Dynasty army before?
“I’m afraid it’s more than ten times.
“We must find a way to deal with the firearms of the Han army, otherwise, the Jin Dynasty will definitely be defeated! 35
For a time, the Minister of the Jin Dynasty said everything.
It is also said that elites were sent to raid the Han weapons warehouse, and there were also people who sent spies to learn the structure of Han weapons…
“At this time, the focus is not on this, but on what to do with my army in the middle!
Wanyan Xiyi shook her head.
You can also figure it out with your toes. The Han army will definitely guard the firearms strictly. As for stealth learning of firearms manufacturing skills, it is not something that can be learned overnight.
“Withdraw!”
After hesitating for a long time, Wanyan Sheng said with a face full of unwillingness.
“What? Withdrawal?
“Your Majesty, now our army is at war with the Southern Song army, and the two sides are intertwined. Once our army retreats, the Southern Song army will definitely pursue and kill it. I am afraid it will be over by then!”
“Yes, Your Majesty, and if the Central Route Army retreats, what should the Eastern Route Army do?”
Everyone was shocked.
Reckless! A bunch of reckless people!
Wanyan Sheng felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart as he watched the crowd.
Although the golden man was brave, his strategy was a little worse. At this time, only the prime minister Wanyan Xiyi did not object to the court.
“My ministers, Your Majesty did this as a last resort. Please think about it carefully, what should we do if we don’t withdraw our troops now? 55
“Although my middle army has 120,000 elite soldiers, the Southern Song army on the opposite side has more than 300,000 troops, and it is impossible to capture Xiangyang City for a while, and once the Han army cuts off my middle army, it will be a real desperate situation. , Do your colleagues want to watch my Jin Dynasty army of 120,000 die?””
Wanyan Xiyi explained.
“What about the 50,000 troops of the Eastern Route Army?”
“Now the situation is critical, and I can only survive by breaking my arm!”
Wanyan Xiyi shook her head.
On the high platform, Wanyan Sheng did not object to Wanyan Xiyi’s words, it was obvious that he also meant it.
The Eastern Route Army cannot retreat.
Once the East Route Army also retreats across the board, I am afraid that even the Central Route Army will not be able to return.
We can only use the 50,000 troops of the Eastern Route Army to attract the attention of the Southern Song army. Although there are hundreds of thousands of Southern Song troops on the Eastern Route, it is still difficult to deal with the 50,000 Jin army. Therefore, the Southern Song army will definitely let Xiangyang. The front-line troops rushed to the front line of the East Road, so that the middle-line troops would have enough time to withdraw.
“Report! Commander, Your Majesty has an urgent secret order for eight hundred miles!”
Wanyan Zonghan, the commander of Jin Chao’s Nanzheng Middle Road, was about to lie down to rest when he was woken up by the sound outside…
When he received the secret order, he was shocked.
There are only two sentences above, but the content is not simple at all.
retreat.
And it’s not a simple retreat.
It’s a big retreat.
It has been withdrawn from the front line of Xiangyang Mansion to Zhending Mansion, which is the international village of later generations.
“Your Majesty is about to give up most of the Central Plains!
Wanyan Zonghan took a deep breath.
That’s right.
Wanyan Sheng intends to give up most of the country in the Central Plains, and deploy defenses from Taiquan (Yuan) Mansion, Zhending Mansion, and Hejian Mansion, so that the army of the Han Kingdom and the Song Dynasty will fight because of the territory.
After reading the secret decree, Wanyan Zonghan immediately burned it with fire.
Then began an emergency call for soldiers.
However, instead of retreating immediately, he attacked!
“Soldiers, Xiangyang City is in front of you. You are all warriors of our Jin Dynasty. How could you be blocked by a mere city? Capture Xiangyang City and use the blood and bones of the enemy to prove your courage!
Jin people are not good at attacking the tough.
Wanyan Zonghan uncharacteristically launched a siege campaign, and it was a night attack.
“What’s going on? Why did the golden man uncharacteristically launch a night attack!”
Xiangyang city defender Lu Wende was puzzled.
“Report! General, it’s not good, the Jin people have attacked the northern city wall several times, and the northern city wall is in urgent need of reinforcements!
“Report! The defender of Nancheng was killed, and General Lu Wenhuan has led his troops to reinforce…
Following the 4.8 report of the messenger, Lu Wende couldn’t sit still, and drew out his sword and said: “Brothers, the Jin people are trying to capture Xiangyang City at any cost, which means that the army of the Han Kingdom has threatened their rear. Come with me, as long as we defeat this wave of Jinmen’s attack, the victory belongs to us!”
Lu Wende never imagined that the Jin people did not want to capture Xiangyang City at all.
The attack was to buy time to retreat.
It turns out they also succeeded.
After the one-night battle, the outside of Xiangyang City was covered with the corpses of golden men.
“Huh? Today has passed, why is there still no movement in the Golden Army Camp? Where are the scouts?”
Lu Wende asked the scouts to inquire about the news.
After half an hour.
“Report! General, the three Golden Army camps are empty!”
Hearing this, Lu Wende was stunned…
