"Who gave you the courage to disobey military orders?! Who made you attack the Song army?! The 400 cavalry you took out of Lu came back less than 300, and you still dare to come to see me?! ”

The heavy curtain could not block the roar that came out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and the two Li Changjie's personal soldiers guarding the tent door glanced at each other, and both lowered their heads.

The reinforcements sent to Quy Nhon Pu were defeated too badly, and the ones selected were the elite of the army, but under the offensive of the Song army, they couldn't even support it for a while. Moreover, it also damaged the cavalry that the captain valued most in his heart, and it is not surprising that he directly ordered a few heads to be cut off as punishment.

The general who led the cavalry into battle knelt in front of Li Changjie, his face was close to the ground, the cold sweat on his forehead was falling, and he didn't even dare to say a word of self-defense.

"Okay, he also happened to bump into the Song army, and the infantry army was defeated again, so he had to go into battle." Zong Jian played a round field, and the commander of the cavalry was a close confidant that Li Changjie had always valued, and he had many merits in the past. ”

Li Changjie was still angry, and pointed at his cronies kneeling underneath, "Do you still think it's the Zhancheng army?" They are all elite soldiers with divine arm bows, and they are not looking for death when they rush up?! ”

Li Changjie originally asked these 400 cavalry to be used as scouts to explore the details of the Song army, and at the same time blocked the road, so that Liu Ji and others could not learn the news of the arrival of Song reinforcements at Kunlun Pass in time. Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at Quy Nhon Pu with the army, before he had time to disperse, he lost a quarter of his military strength in the battle array.

The more he looked at his cronies underground, the more angry he became. "Get down!"

An angry shout was far from enough to express Li Changjie's anger burning in his heart, but he knew better that now was not the time to kill. If he is responsible for the defeat in the First Battle of Quy Nhunpo, he himself has the heaviest responsibility - he underestimated the rampant and courage of the Song generals.

After receiving amnesty, the cavalry general kowtowed and thanked him for not killing, and hurriedly retreated.

Li Changjie sat down, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.

The cavalry was newly defeated, and they ran back and forth between Yongzhou and Quy Nhon Pu in one day, and the horsepower consumption was large. Within a day or two, half of the remaining 300 horsemen would be able to come in handy. How to find out the detailed military situation of the Song army now? The two major defeats were both due to the unknown situation of the enemy and the miscalculation of the actions of the Song army.

So something made him wonder, "How did you come so quickly!?" ”

The same question also lingered in Zong Yan's heart.

The emergency military situation that came to his hands from the front line of Quy Nhon Pu was completely unexpected by Li Changjie. The Song army came too fast, after occupying Kunlun Pass, they didn't do much rest at all, and they waved their troops straight to Guirenpu, even if the battle of Changshanyi was a surrender of gold, but the generals of the Song army didn't know how much risk they had to take if they marched so radically for days?

But the Song people just came, and they won easily.

In order to prevent leakage of the news, Liu Ji and other Guangyuan barbarians learned that Huang Jinman had surrendered to the enemy. Li Changjie tried his best, but only transferred 3,000 soldiers and horses to support Quy Nhon Shop. In his mind, after capturing Kunlun Pass and seeing the fall of Yongzhou, the Song army, which did not need to be rescued at the same time, would definitely have to rest in the city for a day or two. And the soldiers and horses he sent out will be able to preliminarily build the camp in one day. Once you have a fortified barracks, you can delay it for a while, so that you can calmly reorganize your army and smoothly withdraw to the country.

Two days ago, he received that the Song Jingnan army had arrived in Guizhou, and at that time, he felt that it was impossible for the Song army to go south immediately, leaving him at least ten days or more, so that he could smoothly solve the Yongzhou city defense, and let the destroyed city come to meet the Song army.

But everything was miscalculated, I couldn't imagine that the Song people were so anxious...... No, it should be arrogant. Proud soldiers and fierce generals have this problem. He led the army to attack and occupy the city back then, and he was still marching forward. He was not afraid of any place where the Occupy Army could threaten him.

On his side, he is "tired and old." Zong Jian muttered the thoughts in his heart.

Li Changjie's expression was gloomy. The fatigue caused by the implementation of the army fighting is similar for both sides, but the difference in morale is too far apart. The Song army broke through the pass and defeated the enemy, and won great victories one after another, which was the time when the soldiers were at their peak. And his own side was caught off guard, and after two months of fierce battles under the city, the city was broken down, and he was about to wash the city to boost morale, so he was the first basin of cold water, and this morale could not be stopped from falling at all.

"There were only 3,000 troops attacking Quy Nhon Pu, of which the Song army was only 1,000." Li Changjie gritted his teeth fiercely, and he also learned from the defeated soldiers that the battle of Quy Nhon Pu was completely dominated by the Song army, and the two thousand barbarian troops full of gold were just picking up leaks in the back.

Zong Jian said: "To become the vanguard of the first army, it must be the elite of the elite and the leader of the Jingnan army." Otherwise, thousands of people would dare to approach the city of Yongzhou, and no one would have the courage to do so. ”

"The one who arrived at Quy Nhon Pu was only a striker, and there must still be a main force in Kunlun Pass that has not moved." Li Changjie would never have imagined that the only enemy who was going straight to Yongzhou at the moment was the Song army of less than 1,000 who appeared in Quy Nhon Shop.

"But how many Song troops are there?" Zong Jian asked.

Three thousand, or five thousand? Or more. Li Changjie also had no answer.

The key to their problems at the moment is that the enemy situation is unknown, and everything is purely speculation. If you know how many Song troops are attacking, at least you can have a way to make a proper response.

"What to do? Is it to send someone to investigate? Zong Jian asked Li Changjie's opinion.

"It's going to be withdrawn!" Li Changjie stood up. After making a decision, the fog that haunted me was cleared, and I saw the current situation more clearly. Yang Tian breathed a long sigh of relief, "Although the bottom of the Song people is still not clear, they will take risks and wait for the results without any trouble." I will personally lead the army to guard the back road, and you will retreat first with your people. ”

Even if the army plunders the city, no general will scatter all the troops in his hands into the city like a bean, and will always maintain a reliable mobility in his hands. Such an army did not need to enter the city and loot, and a large part of the large harvest such as the treasury was reserved for them.

Li Changjie left 134,000 troops in the camp. The more than 10,000 people who stayed by his side were his most reliable team. Even if they are cut off for the whole army, Li Changjie is confident that relying on his prestige will not cause them to rebound.

He hesitated to underestimate the enemy in front, and the consecutive defeats were brought on by himself. But now that we have made a decision, we will never go wrong again. Don't underestimate him Li Changjie.

"Then what about Liu Ji and the others, continue to hide from them?"

"I can't hide it." Li Changjie shook his head and sighed, the movement of the defeated Guirenpu was too big, Liu Ji and the others Guangyuan were handsome and not blind and deaf, "At this time, they must have all known the Tao." I don't believe that if I send someone to invite them now, none of them will come again. ”

The situation took a turn for the worse, and Zong Jian had no other choice, "Then I can only tell them about the Song army's coming to help." ”

Li Changjie nodded, "Although they all know the truth, it's two different things to say it or not." Explain to them the Song people's coming to help, and then withdraw the army together. The longer they stayed under the city of Yongzhou, the more likely they were to turn to the Song people. However, after returning south, the farther away from the Song people, the less courage they will have to defect. Lieutenant Fuguo's narrowed eyes became dangerous, "You can't give Liu Ji them extra time, you have to force them to make a quick decision." ”

Zong Ji understood in his heart, and cutting through the mess quickly was the only solution, "Then I will send someone to find Liu Ji and the three of them first." Saying that, he sneered again, "I don't know if they are still in Yongzhou City." ”

"If you hear the news, you will definitely go back to the camp." Li Changjie sighed, "It was originally a good thing for them to enter the city, but now it is different." ”

"Most of the Guangyuan army is now scattered in the city, and it is really difficult to bring them out early."

Li Changjie nodded. Not only the Guangyuan Army, but also his Dayue official army, if you want to pull them out of Yongzhou City and put them in order, Zong Jia's task is not light. But it's the same for yourself.

It would take at least two days for most of the troops scattered in Yongzhou City to gather together, while the Guangyuan barbarian army may have taken more time. In order to buy them time, their side had to resist for at least five days before trying to retreat from the front of the formation.

It may be difficult to retreat in front of the enemy, but it is not impossible. In the past two months, he has controlled all the boats at the ferry near the Zuojiang River, and as long as he can cross the Zuojiang River smoothly, the Song army can only look at the river and sigh for a while.

"Drumming, Ju General."

The Chinese military drum sounded, and Li Changjie and Zong Kang planned to put the current situation into a showdown. The defeat of Quy Nhon Pu has spread throughout the army after the defeated soldiers have been recovered, and presumably the generals below are waiting for their explanations and decisions.

In the sound of drums, the first person who rushed was not a general, but a soldier from Yongzhou City, serving the sergeant, "Captain Yu, the Yongzhou Prefecture is on fire, how many houses and warehouses are burned, and Su Mian has not been caught." ”

Li Changjie cursed in a low voice, and he didn't know what was going on, Qinzhou and Lianzhou both surrendered, and the officials of the two states were very obedient, but no one in Yongzhou surrendered, and they either died in battle or committed suicide. If it weren't for them, how would he be in the predicament he is in now, and he would not have been able to crush these people to ashes.

Soon, in addition to the dozen or so generals who were still immersed in burning and looting in the city, the generals under Li Changjie's command were all here. Without the slightest concealment, Li Changjie informed his subordinates of the current enemy situation.

In the mouth of the coach, it was confirmed that the elite Song army that could break four thousand with one thousand was in Quy Nhon Shop, dozens of miles away, and everyone's faces were ugly.

Li Changjie didn't say anything to encourage the morale of the military, what he needed now was to do it, not say it.

"Emperor Song is not benevolent, appointing traitorous ministers, I Dayue Wang Shi hangs the people for the crime, since the war, Liankeduozhou, until the city of Yongzhou is broken, the Song people are frightened. Although there are small setbacks now, it is not hindered by the overall situation. However, it has been a long time since the war, and it is time to return to China. The retreat is now in the hands of Captain Zong. As for Ben Shuai...... then the queen of the palace. Li Changjie stood up, holding the long sword in his waist, and was arrogant, "Let me go to the Song General who will lead the army to help!" ”
