Under the protection of An Qinggui, Li Bingchang, the king of Jin, led the remnants of the army to escape from Zhang Miao's encirclement, the Xia army suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and the 80,000 army led by Li Bingchang lost more than 30,000 people in this battle alone, and in addition to the 30,000 reinforcements led by An Qinggui, the soldiers and horses were lost, and the two armies suffered nearly 40,000 casualties together; The 110,000-strong army finally returned with only 70,000 men. \ After Anqing Gui Jin King Li Bingchang and Liang Yongneng came back, the 200,000 army led by Li Hao, the king of Hengshan, had just arrived, and after everyone met, Li Bingchang told everyone about the battle situation, and ordered: "The Song army has been prepared for a long time, this time it is the king who made a mistake, and now our three armies will have more than 300,000 troops, and the king intends to rest the three armies for three days and then go south to attack the Song army." ” Zhao Ge, who was on the side, thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the last general suggests that you immediately launch an attack on the Song army. ” Everyone was shocked when they heard Zhao Ge's words: "General Zhao, our army has been newly defeated, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send troops in such a hurry, and besides, the Song army has already taken precautions, we have already suffered a big loss, wouldn't it be the same to go again?"
Zhao Ge said to everyone: "The Song army has just retreated, Zhang Miao must lead the army behind the palace, and lay an ambush to prevent our army from pursuing; Now that our army is newly defeated, Zhang Miao must lead the army to evacuate, and it is expected that our army will not be in pursuit, and if we go to pursue at this time, we will definitely win a complete victory. ” After hearing Zhao Ge's words, Li Bingchang, the king of Jin, asked, "How sure are you that my army will not win?"
"The last general dares to give a military order, if he is not victorious, he will cut off the head of the last general."
Zhao Ge said very firmly.
Zhu Xu next to him persuaded Zhao Ge: "General Zhao is cautious. ” Zhao Ge whispered to Zhu Xu: "General Zhu, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ” Then he said loudly to Li Bingchang, the king of Jin: "If the prince is unwilling to send troops, the last general can only lead all the Jizhou troops to fight; The last general is about to send his troops to take his leave. ” After Zhao Ge left, Zhu Xu also saluted Li Bingchang, the king of Jin: "The last general will retire." ” After Zhu Xu got out of the big tent of the Chinese army, he caught up with Zhao Ge and asked, "General Zhao, how sure are you that you will win." ” "Ninety percent."
Zhao Ge said very confidently; "General Zhu, how many soldiers and horses do you have under your command now?"
"There are less than 60,000 troops left, and there are still a lot of wounded soldiers."
Zhu Xu said to Zhao Ge.
"So we still have 150,000 soldiers and horses at our disposal."
Zhao Ge said; "It should be enough for the whole army to attack."
"General Zhao, do you really plan for us to send troops by ourselves and not pull in the state army, so I'm afraid that our results will be limited," Zhu Xu said to Zhao Ge.
Zhao Ge said helplessly: "Then what's the solution, it's good that we don't have a good relationship with the Bingzhou Army now; Since the last meeting of the four kings, the prince and the king of Jin have been-for-tat, although we and the state army are joint operations, but basically the same as fighting separately, if this continues, I am afraid that the Xia army will be divided sooner or later; This matter is not something we should consider, first fight the battle in front of us, you and I immediately lead the army to set off, this battle can not be hard-hitting, we must minimize the losses of our army, to the greatest extent to kill and injure the Song army, you and I each lead a part from both sides to carry out a roundabout outflanking operation, we are not enough troops, don't be greedy, just eat the rear army of the Song army. ” "Okay, just do as you say."
Zhu Xu agreed.
After Zhu Xu and Zhao Ge left, Li Hao, the king of Hengshan, asked Li Bingchang, the king of Jin: "Big brother, you really don't send troops."
"It's easy to say that we have troops left, we have only 150,000 troops left in the state legion, and 50,000 are newly defeated soldiers, and 100,000 are tired soldiers who have been far from labor.
"Big brother is reasonable," Li Hao said.
Although Zhao Ge's qualifications in the Xia army are deeper than Zhu Xu's, Zhao Ge's brain is much smarter than Zhu Xu's, and he is very brave in battle, he is a brave and resourceful general, and he has won the trust of Li Qing, the king of Yan, so although Zhao Ge's official position is not as high as Zhu Xu's, his prestige in the Jizhou Army is higher than Zhu Xu's, so Zhu Xu agrees with Zhao Ge's proposal; On another level, Zhu Xu belonged to the Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo, and Zhao Ge was the descendant of Li Qing, the king of Yan.
The 150,000 Jizhou army pursued the Song army again under the leadership of Zhao Ge and Zhu Xu, Zhang Miao had just won a big victory and left a general palace after he quickly chased the Chinese army, the rear army of the Song army had many people with 200,000 people, Zhang Miao left so many people in the palace is to prevent accidents, of course, the 200,000 troops left behind are not the most elite army in Zhang Miao's army, the most elite army of Zhang Miao's army is the front army and the middle army, and there are 200,000 troops in total.
Although the 200,000 army is not the elite of the Song army, its combat power is also not to be underestimated, and it is much stronger than the previous Song army.
At this time, the Song army was no longer what it was before the war.
"Driving, driving, driving" Zhao Ge led the cavalry all the way to pursue the Song army; "Phew, Hoo, Hoo" "Report, report, report to the general, the front found the rear army of the Song army."
A flying rider came to Lin Feng's side and said.
"How many people are there in the Song army," Zhao Ge asked.
"My lord, it is estimated that there are about 200,000 people."
Then Zhao Ge said to Zhu Xu: "General Zhu, you lead an army of 80,000 to surround from the right flank, and I lead an army of 70,000 to surround from the left flank, try not to engage with the Song army in short arms, use bows and arrows to constantly consume the other party, and after the Song army is exhausted, rush up to annihilate it in one fell swoop." ” "Yes, the last general commanded" Zhu Xu took the military order. 150,000 Xia army iron cavalry under the leadership of Zhu Xu immediately divided into two torrents, the speed of the Xia army cavalry is very fast, in a short period of time to catch up with the Song army's rear army, the Song army is not to be outdone and immediately formed a defense to resist the attack of the Xia army, under the command of Zhao Ge and Zhu Xu, the Xia army iron cavalry did not meet with the Song army at all, but dragged the other party with bows and arrows, although the Song army also used bows and crossbows to fight back, but with little effect.
"Report, report, report to the general, the rear army was attacked by the Xia cavalry, and the rear army general asked for help."
A herald Pegasus rushed to Zhang Miao's front and said.
"General, should we go back to the division to rescue," a Song general asked.
"How many soldiers and horses does the Song army have?"
asked Zhang Miao.
"It's estimated to be around 200,000."
The herald said.
"Order the general of the rear army to quickly get rid of the cavalry of the Xia army and join the army."
Zhang Miao suddenly ordered.
"Yes, let's go and give orders" Everyone was surprised that Zhang Miao's military order arrived, what kind of joke was it to get rid of the Xia army cavalry, the Song army was a foot soldier, and in terms of speed, the Xia army cavalry was three to four times that of the Song army's foot soldiers, and Zhang Miao's issuance of such a military order was equivalent to giving up the rear army; In fact, Zhang Miao wanted to give up the rear army, Zhang Miao couldn't wait to go back to the rescue now, but Zhang Miao knew that even if he went back, it would be in vain, except for losing more soldiers and horses, it would not play a more role in the overall situation.
Now Zhang Miao only hopes that his rear army can escape back as much as he wants, the rescue risk is too great, and once he is entangled by the Xia cavalry, he will not be able to get out at all.
The first more is offered, asking for recommendations:
