One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 754 The Last Battle of the Northern Expedition (1)

Yue Yun, who was rushing to kill the Jin army's rear army, saw Jin Wushu leading his army to escape, and he also hurriedly led his army to catch up. Unfortunately, the surroundings were in chaos and he could not gather many people at the same time.

At this moment, Yue Yun heard someone calling him. He looked around and saw Li Shifu leading his army. Yue Yun rode forward and said, "Why is uncle here?"

Li Shifu said: "Since I went to Hebei and met the prince, the prince kept a certain person by his side to recover Hebei. After the whole territory of Hebei was recovered, the prince sent your father and Han Shuaibing to fly out in two groups, Feihu and Huai Lai. He followed Han Shuai from Feihu, but because the infantry was slow, Han Shuai asked a certain person to bring the cavalry to Daizhou for a look, and unexpectedly they encountered a big battle here."

Yue Yun sighed: "You guys came in time, but it's a pity that Han Shuai's army didn't come. Uncle, how many people are around you now?"

Li Shifu replied: "When we came here, we brought people, but the previous two attacks on the Jin Army's front army were somewhat damaged. Now there are probably more than people."

Yue Yun nodded and said: "Well, everything is in chaos here now. My uncle is waiting for me to gather some troops. Let's go after Jin Wushu together. We must not let him escape easily."

Li Shifu said: "Okay, okay, then hurry up."

After a while, Yue Yun gathered people and Li Shifu to form a cavalry force of more than people to pursue Jin Wushu. When Jin Wushu discovered the pursuers, he immediately called Sa Li and drank. Han Chang said: "Sa Li, drink. Send cavalry to block the pursuers. You and the remaining cavalry rush to Yanmen Pass to set up defenses. Han Chang, you lead infantry to follow Sa Lihe to Yanmen Pass."

The two took the order and left. Sa Lihe sent Hu Zhan to lead cavalry to cut off the low-ranking Yue Yun and Li Shifu. He took the remaining cavalry and went straight to Yanmen Pass. Han Chang followed closely with infantry. .

Originally, Jin Wushu had an army of , infantry, and cavalry. At this time, the rear army's infantry were completely gone. The front army suffered two assaults by Li Shifu and lost thousands of people. He and Han Chang took away more than infantry and cavalry troops, leaving Jin Wushu with only infantry and cavalry troops left.

On the other side, Qu Duan was commanding the army to eat up the Jin army's rear. In fact, Qu Duan was anxious when he saw Jin Wushu escaping, but he couldn't catch up without dealing with the enemy troops in front of him.

Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Qu Duan called to Huyan Channel: "General Huyan, send people everywhere to shout, surrender without killing. As long as the enemy puts down their weapons, no one is allowed to kill. We must deal with this group of enemies as soon as possible. We will continue Chasing Jin Wushu who fled north."

Hu Yantong cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Commander."

Soon the cry of "surrender without killing" rang out on the battlefield. After hearing the cry, the Jin Army soldiers, except for a few die-hard elements, put down their weapons and surrendered. After all, not everyone wants to die. Of course, if there is a chance of survival, they must live. Go down.

The shouts of killing gradually stopped on the battlefield. Qu Duan called to Dong Xian and said: "Gather the prisoners quickly and get out of the way. You and two thousand people will stay behind to guard the prisoners."

After receiving the order, Dong Xian quickly organized the prisoners to gather at the edge. After the prisoners got out of the way, Qu Duan led the army straight to Daizhou City.

After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, they met Yue Yun and Li Shifu who were leading a team to fight with the Jin Army cavalry. Under the leadership of the two men, the Song Army cavalry became more and more courageous as they fought. The Jin Army cavalry fought and retreated. Although the Jin Army was at a disadvantage, it was still possible. The purpose of holding back the Song Army's cavalry was achieved.

Seeing this, Qu Duan immediately ordered the crossbowmen to shoot at the Jin Army's cavalry. Originally, it was difficult for Hu Zhan to lead more than cavalry to resist the attacks of Yue Yun and Li Shifu. Now coupled with the attack of the Song Army's infantry, the Jin Army The cavalry suddenly couldn't resist and collapsed.

Hu Zhan took the remaining cavalry and fled north to pursue Jin Wushu. At this time, Jin Wushu had just led his army five miles north of Daizhou, and Wanyan Zongxian had just left the city with the army in Daizhou.

Yanmen Pass is about kilometers north of Daizhou City. Yanmen Pass is the choke point from Hedong to Datong. As long as the Jin army holds Yanmen Pass, they can block the Song army from the east of Hedong. Of course, the premise is that the gains are not lost.

Looking at the slow marching speed of the army, Wanyan Xiyin went to Jin Wushu and suggested to him: "Marshal, this won't work. The marching speed is too slow. I'm afraid that the remaining cavalry will not be able to stop the Song army. We are still far away from Yanmen Pass." There are twenty or thirty miles, and we must reach Yanmen Pass as soon as possible."

Jin Wushu asked: "What do you think we should do, God of Grain?"

A flash of fierceness flashed in Wanyan Xiyin's eyes and he said: "We can only cut off the strong men's wrists, leaving troops to resist the Song army."

Jin Wushu frowned and said: "Then who will command these people? Those who remain will either be captured or die."

Wanyan Xiyin said: "The Wanyan family will definitely not be able to stay. Let the other marshals decide."

Jin Wushu sighed: "I understand."

Then Jin Wushu called Gao Song and said, "Gao Song, I have something to ask you. I wonder if you dare to answer it?"

Gao Song cupped his fists and said: "Marshal, please tell me, no matter what happens, I will do my best. The marshal is grateful to me, and I will go through fire and water for the marshal."

Gao Song's original name was Gao Tanduo, a native of Chengzhou Ximu. When he was nineteen years old, he joined the army as a Puchan. He was strong and good at fighting. After Wanyan Zongbi heard about him, he called him to follow him, and Gao Song followed Zongbi from then on.

Jin Wushu said: "You must also know the current situation. The Song army is pursuing from behind, and our army is not marching fast enough. Yanmen Pass is still twenty or thirty miles away. I want you to stay with troops." Block the Song army and buy time for our army to enter Yanmen Pass. I will leave you five thousand men and horses first. When King Gaitian comes later, let him go, and all his men and horses will be at your disposal."

Gao Song had followed Jin Wushu in the army for many years and naturally knew the meaning of Jin Wushu's words. Leaving Duan Hou was basically equivalent to death, but Gao Song could only agree. It was Jin Wushu who promoted him, and Jin Wushu was equivalent to His noble man, Gao Song still has to repay this kindness.

Thinking of this, Gao Song said: "Marshal, I am willing to stay to stop the Song army, but I have a request, that is, I hope that my family will take care of me in the future."

Jin Wushu nodded and said: "Don't worry, if you can come back safely after this battle, you will be promoted and given a title. If you can't come, your family members will be taken care of by me as their own family, and your title will be granted by me." To your heirs."

Gao Song cupped his fists and said: "Then there will be no problem for the general. The general will definitely stop the Song army to the death."

After receiving the order, Gao Song led infantry troops to stay and set up formation. When Wanyan Zongxian arrived, his men would also obey Gao Song's command.
