Fu Song

Chapter 182 Be Careful
In fact, the little drum in Zhao Zheng's heart was beating all the time.

Even being in a solid city didn't give him much sense of security.

Although he was the commanding officer of the Japanese army and a serious senior commander of the Song Dynasty army, in fact, he had never been on the battlefield except for military drills in his life.

And all his military knowledge and talents basically come from books and the words and deeds of his superiors.

The bloody battle in Shanglinyuan really shocked him.

And now, standing opposite him is Qishui County King of Liao Kingdom. Although he is not very old, much younger than Zhao Zheng, but the opponent has experienced many battles, and the number of people is several times that of Guiyi City. as much.

If possible, Zhao Zheng would of course want to slip away.

But he didn't dare to leave, because Guiyi City was the official Jinkou Yuyan in Bianliang City who said that he wanted to keep it. This is the face of the official family.

Because of Shanglinyuan's disastrous defeat, he has already been sent to this poor country. If he evils the government again, where will he go next?I'm afraid I'm going to Lingnan for a trip!

Guiyi City must be defended.

Although Zhao Zheng had always talked on paper before, he still had common sense.The current Guiyi City is a real place of death!So after taking over Guiyi City from Dingwu Army, he has been doing what Tao Dayong has been doing without interruption.

Strengthen the city defense.

Let the city become higher and more dangerous!
If Urugu appeared under the city of Guiyi now, he would definitely not recognize the city where he had been stationed for many years.When it comes to building cities, no one can compare with the Song people.

Of course, in addition to these, Zhao Zheng has become a corporal and amiable now.

When he was in Bianliang, Zhao Zheng was never a general who loved his soldiers like a son.

But after arriving in Guiyi City, he transformed into a man who lived with the soldiers and shared joys and sorrows.The previous drinking of soldiers' blood no longer exists under his command.Because several officers who were still adhering to the old customs had already had their heads chopped off by Commander Zhao's big sword, cut them in half in front of thousands of soldiers, and then hung their heads on the chess poles in Guiyi City. Shocked many people.

It has to be said that Zhao is a really smart person.

Therefore, the current Guiyi City is still full of fighting spirit.

Qin Min sent someone to send a letter, asking Zhao Zheng to retreat quickly.

But he could only respond with a wry smile, he couldn't withdraw, he couldn't withdraw!
Naturally, the general officers and soldiers cannot tell about the retreat, but when the reinforcements arrive at Baigou Station, they can publicize it. As long as Baigou Station is still in the hands of their own family, Guiyi City will be more stable.

As long as he can persist for a while, the army on Hebei Road will be able to launch a full-scale counterattack. At that time, he will be a great achievement, and it is not impossible to add the word "du" in front of the title of commander.

Qin Min didn't know what Zhao Zheng was thinking at this moment, he just deduced from common sense that the other party should be busy retreating at this time.

Whether it was him or his father Qin Kuan, they all speculated on what to do next from the normal state of this war.

Qin Kuan sent his son to guard Baigou Station to meet Guiyi City. Zhao Zheng withdrew across the Juma River. At the same time, he wrote a letter of appeal to the surrounding armies and reported it to the pacification envoy at the same time. There was no problem in the procedure. There is no problem.

But what Qin Kuan never expected was that Zhao Zheng from Bianliang had his own channel to know the official's will in the deep palace, and obeying the official's will is much more important than obeying the laws on the battlefield up.

Zhao Zheng felt that he could hold on for a long time.

As for how many soldiers will die during this period, it is not in his consideration.

He only needs to consider that at the end of the final war, the flag of the Song Army is still flying in Guiyi City.

There is another person who has the same consideration as Zhao Zheng, and this person is the main person who can really decide the battle situation on Hebei Road.

Cui Ang, the appeasement envoy of Hebei Road.

Until now, Cui Ang has not realized that this war is a decisive and large-scale attack planned by Yelujun.

He still believes that this is just a bluff made by the Nanjing Road of the Liao Kingdom in response to Li Xu's rebellion in the northwest. Spend.

When Cui Ang felt that he had fully grasped the crucial situation, he gave orders for the garrisons in various places to immediately counterattack and recover the lost ground.

But Xia Jie, who had been on Hebei Road for many years, saw something unusual.

But this Xia Dafu also has his own plans.

If he could sit down and calmly talk about his deduction with Cui Ang, maybe Cui Ang would still listen to it, but this one made a picture from the very beginning that he must fight against Cui Ang, you say something. Let's talk about Xi's attitude, which leaves Cui Ang no choice but to insist on his own ideas, and there is no other room for buffering.

As for Xia Dafu, after fully showing his views in front of many people, he left Shi Shiran.

He was like pushing Cui Ang desperately on his way to die.

Then, he returned to his official office to think about how he would clean up the mess after Cui Ang's downfall.

Well, in this process, what kind of devastation Hebei Road will suffer from the Liao people, how much loss the people will suffer, and how many athletes of the Hebei Road army will be buried in the wilderness because of this are not in his consideration.

How can it be more important for these people to return to Bianliang and return to the two governments?
The thoughts of the upper class and those pure generals who are on the front line at the moment are not on the same line at all.At this moment, Qin Min has arrived at Baigou Station.Here, there used to be a small military stronghold of the Song Army, which was usually only used to guard the road to ensure smooth flow.

Of course, the location of this army village is still stuck in the most dangerous place of Baigou Station.

There are steep mountains on both sides, and in the middle is a wide road of about ten feet. This road is the main road leading to the Juma River. When you leave Baigou Station, you can see a pontoon bridge across the ears.

And this pontoon bridge is the blood vessel that connects Guiyi City.

The soldiers sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Everyone in full armor, the armor and weapons on their bodies weighed several tens of kilograms. Marching uninterrupted throughout the day, even an elite soldier like the Xin'an Army The troops are also exhausted at the moment.

There are naturally some carriages, but the carriages are loaded with bundles of arrows.Qin Kuan is a veteran of the military, and the Liao army who has passed the Juma River at this moment will inevitably go to snatch Baigou Station and cut off the return route of thousands of Song troops in Guiyi City, so the battle at Baigou Station must be It will be brutal and intense.

Therefore, like the divine arm bow and arrows, Qin Kuan gave his son a large amount without hesitation.

Qin Min also sat on the ground panting heavily.

Although he has a very good horse, but in the last twenty miles of the road, his horse was loaded with some soldiers' weapons and shields, and he himself was walking forward with the soldiers, and he was exhausted.

Unlike Xiao Ding's Guangrui Army, even for the infantry, Xiao Ding got enough horses for them to help the infantry maneuver at a higher speed.

It's not that the Xin'an Army can't get so many horses, but they can't afford them.

Not everyone can dig money from everywhere like Xiao Ding, nor is everyone like Xiao Ding who doesn't care about money at all, and even uses his wife's dowry to subsidize it.

Qin Kuan was a well-behaved general in charge of the army. He drank very little soldier blood, and his empty pay was within the tolerable range. The combat effectiveness of the army had always been extremely high, but he still had how much money he had and how many things he did.If the court doesn't give money, he has nothing to do.

So even if Qin Kuan knew how the Guangrui Army's terrifying combat power came about, Qin Kuan couldn't do it.

Thousands of mules and horses, even if they were not war horses, were not something Qin Kuan could afford.

Therefore, the march of the Xin'an Army still relied on the two big feet of the soldiers.

Qin Min has never been convinced by Xiao Ding.

The two are about the same age, and the young and competitive Qin Min thinks that if he has Xiao Ding's family background, the achievements he can make are not necessarily worse than the other party.

But now, the two are far apart.

Xiao Ding's position is higher than that of his father, not to mention that he is only a mere battalion general.

"Admiral, admiral!" The sound of horse hooves and eager shouts came from Qin Min's ears, and Qin Min jumped up. This was the scout he had sent out.

"Is the enemy coming? How many people? Is it the Han army or the first army?" Qin Min asked loudly.

"Enemy attack, more than a thousand cavalry. It is neither the Han army nor the army under the head." The scout got off his horse and wiped the sweat off his face.

Among the Liao army, there is the Han army, the army under the head, the army divided by the palace, and the army divided by the skin room, and the combat effectiveness is completely different.Among them, the best way to fight is to attack the army head-on.These leading troops are the private troops of the enfeoffed Liao aristocrats, and under normal circumstances, they will flee if there is a slight disadvantage.Compared with the army headed down, the Song army was actually more reluctant to confront the Han army on Nanjing Road. They were much more difficult to deal with than the army headed down.

As for the Gongfen army and the Pishi army, as long as the two sides do not fight on a large scale, it is difficult to see under normal circumstances.So Qin Min blurted out and asked whether it was the Han army or the first one.

Hearing that the scouts said no, Qin Min suddenly changed his color.

"Gong Fen Jun?" His voice was a little off. The location of Baigou Station is so important, it is not impossible to have a Gong Fen Army. After all, Zhao Zheng's thousands of Shangsi Army from Bianliang are really good. A big piece of fat.

If the palace divides the army, it will be troublesome.

"No, I've never seen anything like this before, and I haven't seen the banner before." The scout said.

"Beat the drum, blow the trumpet, and get ready to fight!" Qin Min breathed a sigh of relief if it wasn't the palace division army. It was impossible for the Pishi army. It was the army of the emperor of Liao, even if Yelu Jungui was the king of Qishui County. , there is at most a team of leather warriors around as guards, and it is impossible to appear on the battlefield.

"Chen Mazi, Wang Huozui, you two, each bring a hundred archers to the mountains on both sides for me, and when the time comes, shoot me hard!" Qin Min shouted loudly.

The two old soldiers agreed loudly, punching and kicking the tired soldiers lying on the ground together, "Go and carry the arrows, carry more, there will be no more arrows by then, I will peel off your skins!"

"The rest of the ministries, line up in the middle of the road, Luo Ting, set up roadblocks, dig pits, hurry up!"

Fighting in formation, this is the strength of the Song army, does not need the commander's arrangement, the big shield is in front, the spearman is behind, the sword and shield soldiers are hidden in the middle, and the bow and crossbowmen are in the back.

Luo Ting, who was called by Qin Min, led a group of people, quickly unloaded the carriage, and then directly dragged the carriage to the front, untied the horse's reins, unloaded the wheels, and sent more than a dozen carriages to the messenger. Placed unevenly in the middle of the road, some soldiers yelled and lifted the big rocks on both sides of the road, while others dug small holes in the ground with the ends of the spears in their hands.

This kind of small pit is specially designed to deal with fast horses.If the horse was unlucky enough to step into such a small pit, there would be a [-]% probability that it would break its hoof.It was the most beneficial and cheap way to deal with the Liao cavalry that the Song army explored.

When Luo Ting led his men to finish all this, the thunderous sound of horseshoes came from the front of Baigou Station.

"Retreat." With a shout, Luo Ting rushed to the rear of the army formation with a hundred people. Another function of them was the reserve team.

When he saw the troops appearing at the end of the road and the tattered animal skin flag flying in the air, Qin Min finally figured out where this team came from.

"Sunshine, Jurchen!"

There has not been a large-scale battle between Song and Liao in these years, and many people have never seen the appearance of the Jurchen, but Qin Min's father, Qin Kuan, had seen it in his early years.

"Extremely tough, extremely good at fighting, and extremely difficult to deal with!" This is Qin Kuan's evaluation of the Jurchen.

Fortunately, these Jurchens in the extreme north have always been a worry for the Liao people. They don't get along with the Song people, and they are rebellious. For a long time, the Liao people have needed a lot of effort to get rid of them. Suppress it.

For a tribe that even the Liao people have a headache, Qin Min certainly feels a headache right now.

Wanyan Starling didn't pay attention to Song Ren who was facing him.

In the land of Liao, all he heard was how vulnerable the Song people were, and this time the Liao army's large-scale attack on the Song Dynasty seemed to confirm this statement. The armor they wore and the weapons they held in their hands , is what the Song army left behind.

The weapons are really nice!
Wanyan Bage originally had more than a thousand people in his tribe, and many of them were holding wooden sticks. Now, they were all replaced with the best weapons.

One charge, and they collapsed. Maybe when they saw their violent charge, they turned around and ran away in fright.

Brother Wanyan thought so.
