Fu Song

Chapter 498 Very Satisfied

Wanyan starling looked at the opposite side coldly, beside his horse, a red flag was planted, and behind him, standing on his horse was his last remaining one thousand leather warriors.

And his most elite confidant, Jurchen Guard, died in a firefight with Xiao Ding's personal guard, and there were not many left.

It's not that they were all in the hands of Xiao Ding's personal guards, but because of the counterattack of the Beizhan Bubu Department, the Liao army was defeated, and the remaining people were trapped by the defeated army and did not have time to return to the army, so their whereabouts were unknown.

However, with such obvious characteristics, they may have little hope of surviving.

The ones chasing after him now are the cavalry of the Beizhan Buren and the Xifeng clan of the Yan Junsi in Heishui Town of the Western Army.

As for Xiao Ding and those iron kites, they did not follow.

Although they won, no matter whether it was Xiao Ding or Tie Yaozi, they were both exhausted.

If they don't come, why would Wanyan Starling pay attention to these divination blockers and Xifeng clan?
It's just that I'm so tired!
But behind him, there are countless defeated soldiers of the Liao Kingdom, including Xiao Siwen.If these enemies are allowed to chase, cut, and encircle, it will be too late.

Wanyan Starling must prevent such a thing from happening, he must buy time for Xiao Siwen to reorganize the army.

As long as they stand firm, there may not be no hope of winning this war.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and when they were within a few miles of Wanyan Starling, they gradually slowed down, and when they reached a few hundred steps, they stopped completely.

They were looking at this cavalry team of more than a thousand people.

Wanyan Mynah pulled up the red flag and rode forward.

It turned out to be one person and one horse, walking forward dozens of steps, and there was a faint exclamation from the opposite side, but no one dared to step forward to fight back against such an obvious provocative action.

Because everyone knows this guy who is covered in yellow.

Wanyan starling.

Raising the mace in his hand, Wanyan Bage shouted angrily: "Whoever crosses this flag will be killed!"

The red flag held in the other hand was raised high and lowered heavily.

The wind blows and the flag flutters, and it is as red as blood.

For a while, the audience was silent.

Standing for a while, there was no one moving forward, Wanyan Bage looked up to the sky and laughed, reined in his horse, turned around, and retreated slowly as if there was no one else around.

Behind them, countless tribal cavalry sent the thousand-strong cavalry away with their eyes.

Really no one to chase.

Courageous Rat!

Wanyan Starling sneered, but at the same time, he was also grateful.

If there is someone who is brave enough to jump out at this time and attack him at this time, I'm afraid the result will be very different.

At least thousands of enemy cavalry were chasing after them.

And myself and these subordinates are really exhausted at this moment.

As long as the enemy dared to attack, they would surely die.

However, no!
Not one of them is a boy!

Wanyan Bage led his subordinates to retreat in the direction of Xiao Siwen's retreat without looking back.

Take it easy.

Looks like a well-thought-out look.

It's just that it hurts so badly.

There are no major injuries, but I just feel uncomfortable all over.

Wanyan starling frowned, is this the fate of Jurchen warriors?
I thought I could live to forty-five years old and even break the lifespan records of my ancestors, but it seems that I can't achieve it.

If Xiao Ding was here, he would definitely laugh when he saw such a scene.

What are you pretending to be?
Since you can pretend like this, then go to hell!

It's a pity, if Xiao Ding really came to chase, Wanyan Starling would run faster than a rabbit.

Even if Xiao was not able to come, and Xin Jian, the commander of the iron kite, had arrived, Wanyan Starling would hardly be spared today.

However, it was the result of Zhang Yuan's suggestion to let the divination blockers come after him.

These people need military exploits, trophies, and vent.

Of course, Zhang Yuan hoped that they would encounter the Liao people more times during the chasing battle. No matter who suffered more losses, Zhang Yuan was happy to see it.

Because this time Xiao Ding's direct troops, Iron Yaozi and Bubazi, suffered a lot.

Not three to five years, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover my vitality.

Iron Harrier lost more than half.

Bubazi lost more than one third.

And these two armies are the forces that Xiao Ding uses to frighten all the tribes in the northwest.

The weakening of their strength will inevitably lead to political instability in the Northwest.

The weakness of lack of background is fully exposed in such a war.

The battle was won, but Xiao Ding was not happy.

Of the five hundred guards, there are less than a hundred and two left.

The remains of the dead have all been recovered.

At this moment, the armors on their bodies had been taken off and put on one side, while the warrior himself was wrapped in layers of white silk.

Like all others who died in battle, they too will be cremated, ashes to ashes and ashes to ashes.

The difference is that their names will be left behind.

On the armor and weapons they pass through, their names will be engraved, and then they will return to the arsenal, quietly waiting for the arrival of the next successor.

The geese leave their voices, and the people leave their names. Perhaps this is the reason why all the Western Army yearns to be one of the five hundred people!
In the big camp, the flames were blazing.

All the ministries are setting fire to the remains of the war dead. What is left to their families is only some relics and a small bag of ashes that can be found. Of course, there will be pensions from the government and preferential policies for them in terms of taxes and other policies in the future. .

This is the end of the victors.

The losers were even worse.

They were piled together in a mess.

The armor and weapons on his body have been confiscated long ago, and his belongings and even his clothes have been stripped away.

They were jumbled together one by one like goods, and then put firewood, drizzled with grease, and threw a torch in, and the fire ignited.

The last bit of their ashes will also be blown everywhere with the strong wind.

In this world, there will be no more news of them.

Little people are indeed tiny dust in troubled times.

The turtledove and the wild boar sat cross-legged in front of a large pile of white dust, which was the ashes left over from the incineration of the bodies of their war dead.

Grab a handful of ashes, put them into a small cloth bag, tie the opening, and then a clerk next to him writes a person's name on the roster in his hand with a pen.

Beside the clerks, many such small bags have been placed.

"When will we stop fighting!" Wild Boar sighed, "I'm really afraid of this battle, that Jurchen is so fucking fierce, if you hadn't cheated the corpse and stabbed him with a spear from among the dead He, I will confess. There are two boys in my family, and the eldest is only three years old!"

"Wild boar, you're scared!" Turtle Dove said coldly, "If you have this mentality, you might not be able to wait for me to rescue you in the next battle."

"How can you not be afraid, aren't you afraid? The more you see it, the more afraid you are!" Wild Boar said.

"I'm usually afraid, but I'm not afraid at all when fighting!" Turtle Dove snorted: "In this life, we won't be able to live a peaceful life anyway, so why don't we finish the war and let the boys at home, We don’t have to go to war anymore, that’s what we should do.”

"I'm afraid this battle will never end."

"No, it won't, the fight will definitely be over." Turtle Dove said: "I heard Zhang Changshi said that in this world, the long-term division must be united, and the long-term union must be divided. Therefore, the war will eventually end."

The two of them were talking, but their hands didn't stop. In this battle, more than [-] of the [-]-step postscripts under the command of the second-in-command, Turtle Dove, died.Because they are one of the three phalanxes at the top.

"Command, command!" A soldier ran over: "There is an order from the Chinese army camp, telling you to go to the meeting immediately."

Turtledove stood up, and said to the wild boar, "Pack up the brothers well, I'll go to the meeting first."

In the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals above the command are gathered here.

Xiao Ding looked around, there were few familiar faces missing, he couldn't help feeling sad, the number of old brothers from Guangrui Army who followed him from Hebei Road back then has become less and less.

After the war, even though the casualties were heavy, the faces of all the generals were still filled with happy smiles.

After all, he won.

As long as they win, the living people will get promoted and get rich as usual.

"One hundred thousand Song troops have crossed Hengshan Mountain, and are now gathering towards Yanzhou, ready to attack Yancheng!" Xiao Ding's words made everyone in the room turn pale with shock.

"Is the Shentang Castle lost? Is the Castanopsis stronghold gone? What happened to Luowu City?" There was chaos in the big tent.

"Silence!" Tuoba shouted loudly, restoring the calm in the tent, glanced at the crowd, and said angrily, "They are all leading the soldiers, are they so restless?"

Everyone stopped talking, but they couldn't hide their anxious expressions.

The main force of the Western Army is here, and one hundred thousand Song troops suddenly appear in the hinterland of the Western Army. How can everyone hold their breath?

"Shentangbao, Castanopsis Village, and Luowu City are not lost!" Tuoba Yangwei's next words made the big tent once again noisy.

All the faces were blank.

None of these three key passes were lost, how did the Song people come here?
Fly over?

Zhang Yuan chuckled, and said, "Cui Ang, the coach of the Song Army, thinks that we will lose the battle with the Liao Army, or at least we will be dragged here by the Liao Army and unable to return to help, so they want to pick up a ready-made bargain." , under the condition that the three critical passes were not captured, they bypassed these three places with ease, climbed Hengshan Mountain along the path, and then crossed the vast sea, trying to take Yancheng in one fell swoop while our confidantes are empty. , Xingping, Xingqing and other places.”

The tent became quiet again.

But the next moment, the sound of laughter resounded through the big tent.

I've seen death, but I've never seen such death.

The car is light and simple, that is to say, there are no weapons reserves, no food reserves, is the head coach of the Song Dynasty flooded?
"Boss, gather all the cavalry, and we will be able to go back in ten days at most. We will make dumplings for the Song army." A commander laughed loudly: "This time, capture that so-called Mr. Cui alive again, but this time Once we can't let him go back easily, if the officials don't get enough money and food, we will tie up his husband and parade him every day to see how shameless he is!"

"Yes, yes!" There was relaxed laughter in the room.

Xiao Ding knocked on the table and said: "Next, Zhang Changshi and I will gather [-] cavalry to go back, but Iron Yaozi and Bubazi will not move this time, and will still be stationed in Xuanlei Village to guard against the Liao army. General Ba will stay behind to unify the command."

Xiao Ding looked at Tuoba to show off his power.

Although Xiao Siwen was defeated and his vitality was hurt, his strength still remained. If they left and the opponent killed a carbine, it would be bad. Compared with the Song Army who underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, Xiao Siwen was still their number one opponent.

Tuoba nodded, "Don't worry, the manager. If Xiao Siwen comes again, I will focus on defense. After the manager solves the Song army over there and turns around, I will plan against the enemy."

Xiao Ding let out a breath, and began to assign the next tasks one by one.

Those people followed, and those people didn't stay at will. These are the results of careful discussions with Zhang Yuan and Tuoba.

The turtledove belongs to Bubazi, so it is naturally among the remaining ones.

After hearing the news, the turtledove was still beaming with joy when she went back.

The Liao people were defeated, and this time the Song people were defeated again. In a short period of time, I am afraid that they will no longer have the strength to fight the Western army. That is to say, they will live an ordinary life for a long time .

this is a good news.

Turtledove was not surprised but delighted when he heard that such a large Song army had arrived in Yancheng.

He is no longer the stunned man on the battlefield in his early years.

Years of experience have allowed him to rise to his current position step by step, and also allowed him to understand some of the most basic elements of a war.

The Song army ventured deeper and deeper, and the more people there were, the uglier the death would be.

There is no need to think about winning or losing.

The only hope for the Song army to win is that the Western army lost completely in the just-concluded battle with the Liao army.Under such circumstances, it is possible for Song Jun to take risks and succeed.

And now, they are dead.

"What, no need to counterattack?" Xiao Siwen looked angrily at the envoy from Zhongjing. This guy named Sun Chun was a celebrity beside the queen.

"Yes. There is no need to counterattack." Sun Chun ignored Xiao Siwen's anger: "Even if it is a counterattack, what can we gain? This war was originally a strategic cover, and now that the goal has been achieved, it is fine."

"Thousands of good men from Daliao died!" Xiao Siwen said.

"They will get generous pensions." Sun Chundao: "Marshal Du, compared with the huge benefits that are about to be obtained, the losses here are not worth mentioning. Don't you know? Cui Ang, the commander of the Song Army, led an army of [-], They bypassed Shentangbao, Luowucheng and other fortresses and entered the hinterland of the Western Army."

Xiao Siwen's eyes widened: "This is impossible, right?"

Sun Chun smiled: "What we thought was impossible has become a reality. To be honest, the empress did not expect such absurd things to happen, but this will bring greater benefits to our next mission. These ten Thousands of people can't go back."

Xiao Siwen let out a heavy breath.

Yes, these [-] people can't go back!

This will inevitably make the Song army stretched out in terms of strength when it responds to the Daliao attack.

The state of Song must perish.
