Chapter 809: We Haven't Lost Yet
The surrender of this remnant of the Song army was quickly like pushing a mountain of gold to the top of a jade pillar, destroying the other Song troops who were still resisting.
Although a small part of them swore not to surrender, but under the attack of the vast sea and waves of the Qi army, there was not much wave after all, and Lu Di's mouth said that 123,678 warriors of the Song army surrendered, which can be called a miracle in the history of Qi's foreign military war.
However, for the old ministers who followed Lu Di, it was not strange, after all, when Lu Di returned to China, in Meng Lianggu, he relied on his mouth to persuade the 200,000 Qi army besieging him, compared with the impact of that incident, what did the more than 123,600 remnants of the Song State who fought the trapped beast count of.
The surrender of so many Song troops made the generals of the Qi army a little nervous, after all, the total number of troops surrendered had exceeded their actual strength.
Lu Di had already made a plan in his mind, he immediately adapted it, transferred those corpse vegetarian Song army upper-level generals to the headquarters of the Qi army, as generals, and used Gao Jue and Yu Lu to support them, and then selected thirteen authoritative generals from these middle and lower generals of the Song army as partial generals, led this group of Song army, and their treatment was equivalent to that of the doctors, and then deliberately selected a few outstanding representatives among some ordinary soldiers to promote their positions.
For a time, the Song army cheered, and the Song army was shocked.
Now the two armies, who were still fighting not long ago, have now become a person who eats in a pot, and it is a little embarrassing to see each other, but it is more of a "cross the catastrophe Brothers are here, and they meet with a smile and enmity".
Of course, in the process of reorganization, it is reasonable for Lu Di to install some henchmen who are "not too stimulating to the Song people", such as Sima Geng, who was also born in the family of Song Guoqing's doctor.
Sima Geng is not less than the three clans and six Qing forces outside the Hua Xiang two clans of the Xiang family, in the Song Yuan Dynasty his family can be said to be the power of the government and the opposition, but in the Song Jinggong period because the family leader ignored the etiquette and law, the young and upright Sima Geng was not used to it, he made a big fuss about the family and then broke away from the family, defected to Kong Qiu, and became a disciple under his name.
Although Sima Geng has not returned to his home country for many years, his political influence on the Song State is still very huge, especially when he led people to protest against the indiscriminate conscription of the court, which won the hearts of the low-class people of the Song State, so when the Song army surrendered and learned that Sima Geng was going to join their team, they all cheered.
After this battle of Mangdang Mountain, the strength of the Qi army not only did not decrease, but more than doubled. Today, the total number of troops has reached nearly 200,000.
After a meal, cleaning the battlefield, and changing into a unified Qi military uniform and weapons, the newly formed army of 200,000 began to march towards Shangqiu, the capital of the Song State.
Song Capital, Shangqiu, the rippling blue waves of the Sui water in the past, at this time Yin Hong, behind this Yin Red is a large number of floating corpses of tragically dead soldiers.
The corpses are those of the Qi army and those of the Song army.
Yingchuan County Commander Chen Yin came to raid the capital of the Song Kingdom on the order of Lu Di, originally he took advantage of the time before dawn when the people were most sleepy, sneak attack on the city, and saw that the sneak attack was successful, but the Song army's Men Yin De fought back, and took a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to beat their army out of the city, which made Chen Yin very annoyed.
After the army retreated, Chen Yin scolded a group of generals, and the opportunity to make such a great contribution was gone.
The Qi army launched three more attacks, each more fierce than the other, but was repelled by the Song army again and again, and during this period, it was killed by the Song army and counterattacked.
Chen Yin knew that it was impossible for him to make this great feat, so he could only hope that the Song army, which had fled from the countercharge, could run to Mangdang Mountain in time to transfer back the main force of the Song army, which was fighting a decisive battle with the main force of his own army.
Therefore, he basically besieged Shangqiu but did not attack, this time lasted for about two days, and on the third day he got a report from the eagle warriors, saying that the battle of Mangdang Mountain had ended, the Song army was defeated, and its fleeing army was about 150,000 and was marching towards Shangqiu.
Seeing this news, Chen Yin slapped his thigh with joy, although he did not capture Shangqiu, but the purpose of this strategic offensive was finally achieved.
In the face of the Song army's 150,000 reinforcements retreating, Chen Yin, who now has less than 6,000 troops, did not hesitate at the moment, and ordered the army to immediately pull out the camp and go west, preparing to retreat to the south bank of Suishui, and capture the south bank fortresses such as Gouling, Hengdi, Yangliang, and Guqiu, so as to cut off the Song army's way to flee south.
Song Capital, Shangqiu, and Emperor Da Yin retreated to the city with less than 110,000 troops who had lost their armor and abandoned their armor.
Looking at the down-and-out appearance of the army, Men Yin had to know without thinking about it that in the battle of Mangdang Mountain, his own army was defeated. However, unlike some of the doctors of the three clans and the six kings, Men Yin had lost confidence in the future of the Song Kingdom, and he did not give up, because he saw that his army still had more than 100,000 troops, as long as there were these troops and they were defending the city, even if the Qi people attacked him for three years, he was confident that he could hold it.
What's more, Men Yin De firmly believes that when the Qi State destroys the Song Dynasty, the princes of the world will not sit idly by.
Huang Fei and I looked at Men Yin De, who was a little embarrassed by the continuous battle, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly said: "From today on, you are our Sicheng."
What the?
Huang Fei's words were earth-shattering, and suddenly the three clans and six Qings were all dumbfounded, especially the Le family, you must know that Sicheng, the highest military official in charge of the capital, has always been in the hands of the Le family, and now Huang Fei and I didn't ask for their consent and gave this position to Men Yinde, how could this not make the Le family stunned.
Of course, after the shock, there was anger, but what can be done with anger, less than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the control of Le's have returned to the capital this time, and he has no confidence to fight against more than 90,000 other people.
The Le clan is silent, and the Ling clan is also silent, this Sicheng has nothing to do with his Ling clan, and now he gives this position to his door Yin De, whose military talent is no less than his door, of course, he will not object.
As for the Huang clan, the emperor is not their patriarch, and their patriarch's decision must be beneficial to the royal family, so they are also silent, and this silence is, of course, the kind that is supported.
Huang Fei and I are extremely sober at the moment, he is not stupid, he knows the consequences of taking away the position of Le Fei Sicheng, but this battle has made Huang Fei and I realize the fact that he is not the material to be a commander at all, even if Zuo Shi's spirit is not slow, he is stronger than himself.
It's just that considering that Le Raft has no ability to command a large army like himself, and although Ling Buchi has the ability, but in view of the powerful family power behind it and the nearly 50,000 elites of the Zuo Division who have returned to the city, it is impossible for Huang Fei and I to hand over the power of Sicheng to him again.
Therefore, without the background of the three families and the ability of the door, Yin De became his best choice.
Men Yin was very moved when he heard Huang Fei's words, he looked at Huang Fei and me, and solemnly bowed and saluted: "The last general will definitely live up to Da Yin's expectations, my son must be here, and the national capital is here!" ”
Men Yinde is a scholar family, no clan, only a surname, so he calls himself Zide.
Huang Fei looked at the young general in front of him, nodded, and was about to leave, when he only heard Zide shouting: "Da Yin, you have to cheer up, now that the king is dead in the hands of the people of Qi, you are now the symbol of my Great Song Kingdom, and all the Song people are looking at you?" You have to laugh and tell them that we haven't lost yet! ”
Zide's words made Huang Fei and I slightly stunned, he turned his head to look at Zide, all the children of the three clans and six Qing turned their heads to look at Zide, time passed by drop by drop, and Huang Fei and I suddenly grinned. Then he took a deep breath, rubbed his face fiercely, raised his head with his chest straight, strode into the military chariot, and drove towards the city surrounded by everyone.
Zuo Shiling glanced at Zide in surprise, but he didn't say anything, and then left with his henchmen.
The Le Raft, Le Zhu Jun and the others of the Le clan glared at Zi fiercely, and then also threw off their sleeves and left.
