Chapter 169: To the North! Northward!.
On both sides of the river, there are corpses.
There were corpses of golden soldiers lying down everywhere.
After Yan Zongwang was shot in the butt, he took a donkey cart and left in a hurry after crossing the river. And in order to break off, the Jin army paid a lot of casualties.
After Yue Fei’s array was cut off, the Jin Guo fierce general finished Yan Live, and the ten thousand fierce Jurchens under his command were also mostly annihilated in most of the day, and the rest fled, rushed into the river, and were shot and killed by Li Jun, Zhang Shun and other water troops.
Only a very small number of those were lucky enough to wade across the river and escape with their lives.
Not only the banks of the river, but also the river, there was also a blood red, and many corpses of the Jin army floated on the water. In this battle, several battlefields, the Jin army suffered a total of more than 30,000 casualties, before it was able to stand out!
Moreover, all the heavy gold and silver captured from the Great Song Dynasty were also discarded. It can be said that it is a heavy loss!
However, Chai Hao still had no intention of retiring the army. It is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining braves, and not to become a famous overlord!
Since the troops have already been dispatched, even if they can’t annihilate all these golden troops, they must at least beat them hard enough!
Even, Chai Hao didn’t even care about the grain carts that the Jin army had abandoned on the south bank of Xianshui, so he crossed the river with 20,000 horses and continued to pursue Yan Zongwang’s back.
As for those heavy soldiers, let Li Jun, Zhang Shun and other water army generals take care of them first.
“Meet the King!”
Twenty miles north of Xianshui, as soon as Chai Hao arrived here, Lu Zhishen and Wu Xuan and other infantry generals greeted him. The commander of the artillery battalion made Thunder Ling Zhen also among them.
417 looked at the corpses of tens of thousands of gold soldiers lying down everywhere in the battlefield, some were strung together by crossbows, some were hit by thunderbolt shells, some were shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows, and there was even a strange smell of barbecue in the air, which made Chai Hao both relieved and scolded with a strange smile: “Ling Zhen, you use too much gunpowder!” ”
“His mother has cooked the golden dog!”
Chai Hao rarely burst into foul language, but instead of panicking, Ling Zhen smiled all over his face: “Isn’t this watching those golden dogs running around, and they are in a hurry, do you want to leave more golden dogs…”
Suddenly, it caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding generals.
Don’t look at Lu Zhishen, the Wu brothers and Ling Zhen, there were 80,000 pawns ambushed here, but only the lives of more than 10,000 gold troops were left, but this was already a brilliant victory.
Because 80,000 pawns are waiting for work, just ambushing on the hillside heights on both sides, using thunderbolt cannons, bed crossbows, trebuchets, divine arm crossbows, etc. to greet downward, let the tens of thousands of elite horses of the Jin army be helpless!
Even, there was almost no contact with the Jin army, and there were no casualties, and the Jin army was annihilated by more than 10,000.
But again, it is also limited by the shortcomings of the infantry, most of the Jin army is cavalry, abandoning the heavy want to go, these pawns can not catch up. Therefore, it is already a great victory to have this victory of more than 10,000 horses.
“Leave 30,000 people behind, clean the battlefield, burn and bury the corpses, and prevent the epidemic. And cooperate with Li Jun and other water troops to take care of these captured soldiers and transfer them back. The rest of the soldiers, Sui Gu continued to pursue the Jin army and rescue the siege of Taiyuan! ”
After letting the soldiers repair overnight, Chai Hao turned on his horse again and ordered.
So, 100,000 foot horses, divided troops north of Xianshui, Chai Hao led 20,000 iron horses, 50,000 foot pawns, a total of 70,000 foot horses, continued to the north, chasing Yan Zongwang!
At this time, two hundred miles ahead.
After Yan Zongwang was escorted by the pro-army, he rode on a donkey cart and ran here almost non-stop. Of course, the sturdy green donkey who originally pulled the cart was already exhausted halfway to death.
At this moment, the cart was pulled by two war horses that were replaced on the way.
After escaping so far without respite, Yan Zongwang finally couldn’t stand it, so he ordered to stop and rest. Because he couldn’t get timely treatment, his ass was almost bleeding all the way!
This is still because of lying on the car, otherwise, if he came all the way on horseback, I am afraid that he had not escaped here, and Yan Zongwang would be killed by blood loss!
“Phew!”
After Yan Zongwang endured the pain, he let out a long sigh of relief, at this moment, he felt that below his waist, he almost lost consciousness!
“Medic! Military! ”
“Come and treat the injury of the marshal!”
After the deputy general finished Yan Xi Gunai, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly called Jin Jun’s military doctor to come.
Only then did the military doctor step forward and pull out the arrow on Yan Zongwang’s butt, and then apply medicine to stop the bleeding.
In the previous escape, because he was afraid of being caught up by Chai Hao, he didn’t pull out Yan Zongwang’s arrow, so he stuck an arrow in his butt and ran out two hundred miles overnight.
As the military doctor pulled out the arrow to heal the injury, Yan Zongwang also felt that his consciousness gradually recovered, his eyes swept around, and found that there were only more than 20,000 horses left around him, and his eyes couldn’t help but darken.
When he was ambushed by Chai Hao in several places, Finish Yan Zongwang crossed the river surrounded by tens of thousands of elite horses, wanting to join Finish Yan Zonghan and other former troops.
But because most of the pontoon bridges were burned down, some of the Jin troops crossed the river from the remaining pontoon bridges with Yan Zongwang, and some simply jumped directly into the icy river, wading across the river with their war horses, and under the impact of the current, the landing places were also different.
Therefore, after Yan Zongwang’s main force, many were lost.
And another marshal Yan Zonghan, because he was ambushed by 80,000 pawns under Chai Hao, coupled with Ling Zhen’s thunderous firepower was too fierce, so he also made a quick decision, abandoned Chenzhong, and let the Jin army under his command break through the encirclement and run out of the ambush circle.
Therefore, many Jin troops were not killed, but they were scattered within a radius of two hundred miles, and did not catch up for a while.
“Go, erect the big rope of the marshal on a high place, and let the lost sons and daughters gather.”
After Yan Zongwang’s face recovered, he recovered a bit of blood, and waved his hand and ordered.
As Yan Zongwang stood up, soon, some small groups of gold troops who had fallen behind came to converge. In half a day, nearly 10,000 horses returned to the team, so that Yan Zongwang’s side had more than 30,000 horses.
At this moment, Yan Zonghan also arrived from the southwest with 30,000 defeated troops of the Jin State that he had gathered along the road.
As soon as the two marshals of the Jin Army, who were also ashen, converged, counted the soldiers and horses, and found that there were only barely less than 70,000 horses, they couldn’t help but darken their eyes.
More than two months ago, they led 100,000 iron horsemen and 10,000 servants to besiege Bianliang with great spirits. But now, they lost their troops and abandoned their weight, leaving only 70,000 horses!
Even if you add the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Yan Lou Chamber who besieged Taiyuan, and the 10,000 besieged gold army that withdrew from Xiangzhou in advance, it was just another 60,000 servant troops!
At that time, 100,000 iron horsemen and 80,000 servants went south, but now only 70,000 horses and 60,000 servants remain. Just one hundred thousand gold country essence horses, nearly a third of the loss!
Most of them are Jurchen elite rides.
For the Jurchens, whose own population is not large, this is undoubtedly a tragic loss!
“Chai Nanman, such a blood feud, Ben Shuai does not share the sky with you!”
Yan Zongwang clenched his teeth and roared with incomparable pain.
And after Yan Zonghan, he looked at the defeated faces of those Jin Army generals around him, and his brows were locked, for fear that after this defeat, it would make the morale of Da Jinerlang wipe out, which would be catastrophic!
Therefore, he pretended to laugh cheerfully three times and said, “Hahaha, everyone, there is no need for this.” ”
Although my Dajin fell for that Chai Nanman’s trick, judging from Chai Nanman’s such a calculated scheme, it was precisely because he did not have the confidence to fight my Dajin head-on, so he used such a strategy!
Today, although our army has suffered some losses, the main forces remain!
“When you get to Taiyuan, join forces with General Yan Lou, and then take the Taiyuan promised by the Song Kingdom to recuperate, you can come back to find Na Chai Nanban for revenge!”
After listening to Yan Zonghan laughing like this, Yan Zongwang also suddenly realized, forcibly endured the pain in his heart, and also laughed there: “Hahaha!” Marshal Zong Han is right! ”
“Ben Shuai laughed at that Chai Nanman, although he had a treacherous scheme, but after all, he had no strategy…”
