Chapter 541
Wang Ju led the three armies to pursue him. Liu Changzuo first followed Lin Guang and Yao Xiong, cooperated with the pursuit army to capture prisoners of war, and asked Qu Zhen to lead the cavalry to cooperate with the officers and soldiers of the seventh battalion behind him to continue to capture the Xixia deserters behind him. The rest of them cleaned the battlefield.
The battlefield is too large, almost six or seven miles long. Not only this ravine, but also the nearby small ravines and some low ridges have become battlefields.
But everyone likes this, trophy is wealth, half of it belongs to them!
Of course, prisoners of war are also wealth, and this time the Xixia deserter will be miserable. Unlike before, there are Xia troops nearby. As long as you find the right direction, you can escape. But now the Xixia people have retreated, where can I go to find the Xia army? Then the next question is, what should they eat immediately? Also, although the weather is gradually getting warmer, it is still a few degrees below zero Celsius at night. It is hungry and cold. Even if the iron attacker is a person, how many days can he last?
As a result, when the people returned from behind one after another, they found Xixia soldiers starving to death in many wildernesses from time to time.
Some Xixia soldiers even ran out and found the Song army when they were cold and hungry. We surrendered and gave us some food.
But this is going to happen in the next few days.
The missions of the various armies are still very heavy. Wang Ju and the huge Song army pursue them. Liu Changzuo sent some cavalry to capture prisoners of war, clean the battlefield the rest, cook, and then set off. Tomorrow, they will face a bloody battle.
Yao Yi walked over and asked, "General Liu, I didn't cause trouble to Ming Gong last time, did I?"
"General Yao, what do you think?" Liu Changzuo was almost speechless. If it weren't for this old boy, Wang Junwan would be proud and arrogant in front of him.
But Liu Changzuo was not depressed, the most depressed one was Yan Da.
He was in Huai'an Town and dragged down Renduoling tens of thousands of main troops, which led to the great victory in Yele Town, Qingzhou City, Sancha, Mengmen Sancha and Malingchuan. But how many ministers in the court could understand the military merits, how many enemies did you kill and how many prisoners of war have you captured?
Can you say that Wang Ju doesn't value himself? Putting himself in Huaian Town is a kind of reuse, but this reuse... At this time, Yan Da, who was lying in a mountain nest, thought about the situation of other generals, and couldn't help but drool.
"Oh, it was a dilemma at that time."
"What was gone is over, and you performed well in Liyuan Castle."
"Shame," said Yao Yi, just behaved well. Can you still be like Li Sangou?
"Ming Gong also said this. If it were him, it would be difficult at the time. I didn't know how to choose. And Mr. Ming admired you very much. Especially Mr. Ming's use of your eldest son should be pleased."
"That's true," Yao Yi turned his worries into joy, thinking in his heart that it really doesn't work. Let's apologize like Wang Ju after the war.
However, Yao Shi's incident will cause a lot of controversy in the future.
He did it right from the perspective of emotion, life is at stake.
But rationally speaking, he did something wrong. Just like the Song army used Western Xia prisoners of war as meat shields, no matter whether Liang Yi was buried or Ren Duoling Ding, he was not ruthless at all.
Moreover, this example cannot be opened, otherwise the Xixia people suddenly arrested a large number of people from the Song Dynasty and took them under the city wall to make meat shields. How should the Song army on the city top choose?
However, Wang Ju is not thinking about Yao Shi now.
The army rolled northward.
Some people ridiculed the Song army for being able to fight with the wind, but in fact, the Xixia army is the one who is best at fighting with the wind.
Once defeated, they escape faster than anyone else.
Not to mention that Liang Yi was buried, even if Li Yuanhao led his army personally, this situation has occurred many times.
This happened immediately.
Liang Yongneng was taken by his subordinates and fled forward. Not long after, he bumped into the Xia army who had retreated from the front.
Seeing the arrival of the reinforcement, Liang Yongneng woke up and was still fighting in front of him. Why did I escape? He was so stupid that he didn't know why he escaped.
Therefore, he immediately ordered the three armies to stop and not escape. The ravines near Rouyuan Village were relatively large, but when they went further, the ravine became narrow, and they were actually not small ravines, but for so many soldiers, it was a narrow ravine. With Liang Yongneng's order, the deserters had to stop.
Liang Yongneng ordered everyone to gather.
However, he had not yet figured out whether he should go back or not, so he thought about it and was planning to send a few scouts back to inquire about the situation, but the central army retreated again. He was also stuck here.
In fact, Liang Yong could continue to escape at this time, and the casualties would be smaller.
The road ahead was blocked by his own people, and there were no pursuers behind him. These Xia soldiers stopped one by one, at a loss.
Liang Yongneng continued to let them gather and reorganize, and then asked the scouts to go back to inquire. But the scouts only left for a while and there was no need for the scouts to come back to report. The huge front army of Xixia retreated, and the Song army kept entangled and strangled.
Since the front army was also defeated and the Song army behind it was strangling, then escape. However, due to Liang Yongneng's delay, tens of thousands of soldiers stopped here together, and the road ahead became narrower and narrower, which meant that the speed of passage would inevitably slow down.
So the front was fleeing, and the front army behind quickly escaped. Behind the back was the Song army crazy, either surrendering or shooting death. Surrendering to Wang Ju, what good end could it be. But he couldn't escape, and then the most cruel scene appeared.
Everyone wanted to escape together, but the road became narrower, so the more they wanted to escape, the more they became, the more they were blocked. What was fatal was that there were a large number of cavalry in the Xixia army at this time, so the cavalry directly raised their horses and stepped onto the infantry beside them.
Some cavalry even knocked to the ground because of the collision of war horses, and were trampled on by other cavalrymen behind them, trampled to death.
"It's a sin, how much money will it cost," said Wang Junwan.
The personal soldiers beside him burst into laughter and shouted loudly: "Yanzhou, Yanzhou!"
Liang Yi buried in front and heard the shouts behind him, his face pale. This was not a slogan. Now the entire rear troops behind Baibao City are empty. Not to mention Yanzhou, Lingzhou may not be able to be saved.
Countless Xia troops continued to flee north.
I was about to arrive in Anjiang Fort.
Liang Yimeng also deliberately sent people to renovate this fort. He originally planned to demolish the original fort in the Song Dynasty, but because it became an important transit station, Liang Yimeng changed his mind and rebuilt a simple castle eastward along the fort. This was also a measure to prevent the Song army from suddenly attacking Anjiang Fort due to the terrain. Therefore, Anjiang Fort now occupies the entire mountain and extends to the east side of the mountain.
But I didn't expect that it would come in handy today. If I rush into Anjiang Fort, the three armies would be safe.
Just when Liang Yi buried his thoughts that he could escape the heavens, Yao Lin and Qin Bo suddenly came out of the small hillside with five thousand troops.
This suddenly cut the entire Xixia defeated army into two sections.
Liang Yi was so scared that he was so scared that he flew out of the sky.
However, Yao Lin and Qin Bo would not be so reckless. Although they cut the Xia army into two sections, they always followed the west side of the mountain road to kill the enemy and continued to save the gap on the east side.
With the gap, there is hope of escaping, and the Xixia soldiers will not resist stubbornly.
However, in this way, the entire narrow mountain road became more crowded, and the Xixia people trampled on each other even more.
"Going northward, entangling the enemy and regaining Anjiang Fort." Yao Lin shouted loudly.
They sneaked last night and came to a secret valley west, waiting for this moment.
Some Xia army had already fled to Anjiang Fort, but when they saw the Song army wrapped in the defeated Xixia army, they were about to approach Anjiang Fort. The guards of Anjiang Fort were at a loss. Now they could not close the city gates, and the large army was still below. Besides, Liang Yimeng did not enter the fort, so he had to look at Liang Yongneng and asked, "General Liang, what should I do?"
"It's too cruel. It's too cruel." Liang Yongneng murmured. He looked down and had to order: "Retreat immediately. Retreat quickly so that the soldiers behind him can escape the space."
This time he finally realized that the Song army was just intentionally using this terrain to swallow all the hundreds of thousands of Xia soldiers in one go. But their troops were limited and they set up this ambush. Could that boy be so brave?
In fact, Wang Ju couldn't force himself. He had only a little force in his hand. If he devoted all his troops to the Rouyuanzhai battle, his victory would be even greater. But the results would be limited. Just like now, if Yao Lin and Qin Bo were not allowed to lead troops to ambush here. There were many Western Xia garrisons in Anjiang Fort, and most of the Xia army fled to Anjiang Fort. Once the city gate was closed, Wang Ju immediately had a headache, so he had to prepare siege equipment in advance, but even that was the case, he might not be able to take Anjiang Fort. At least he could not take Anjiang Fort soon.
Then the Xia army slowly retreated to Baibao City, and then used the Baibao City to form a second line of defense. Then the three Western Xia armies could stabilize the defense of the forts and forts in the rear. Not to mention Yanzhou, it would be a blessing to be able to retake Baibao City.
Liang Yongneng led the three armies to flee to Baibao City. Yao Lin and Qin Bo also rushed into Anjiang Fortress with defeated troops, but they did not divide their troops to garrison Anjiang Fortress and continued to fight with the enemy.
Liang Yimang also fled to Anjiang Fort with his three armies and continued to flee.
Wang Ju, who was behind him, also led the three armies into Anjiang Fort. Wang Ju only ordered: "Zhao Yuqing, immediately station you in Anjiang Fort, guard the food and supplies in the fort, and then clean up the battlefield and encircle and suppress the fleeing enemy soldiers."
This is not considered Wang Ju intends to suppress Zhao Yuqing.
Zhao Yuqing himself has limited abilities, but his subordinates are all foreign soldiers from Qingzhou and have strong combat power. However, when he arrived at Anjiang Fort, he already belonged to the foothills of Hengshan. The terrain was complex and several soldiers were only familiar with the terrain here.
And because Yao Lin was just now, all the troops behind the Xia army exploded the battalions, including many cavalry, fled to various small hills, and infantry climbed up various hills. As for what they escaped from the main army, what will happen in the future, God knows, let's escape first.
There are quite a few of these collapsed deserters, and several battalions of fierce officers and soldiers must be arrested.
And when you kill here, food and grass will be a problem immediately. Therefore, the food and grass stored in Anjiang Fort is very important.
But Wang Ju doesn't need to explain. This great victory in this battle, at least in Qingzhou, his prestige reached its peak. Even now, Li Kezhong may not dare to question Wang Ju's arrangements.
"Here," Zhao Yuqing replied and arranged for his battalions to go.
"Chasing." Wang Ju led the rear army to continue chasing.
The road from Anjiang Fort to Baibao City is even more rugged, and Yao Lin and Qin Bo are blocking it in the middle. Gao Yongneng and the Yanzhou vanguard army buried by Gui Meilang have already joined the two troops of Gao Qin. Although they have been trying to give up the road on the right after they have been trying to give up the road on the right, the Xia army still has a lot of trampling, and even this trampling has affected the Song army. In fact, the Song army in front is not killing the enemy, but how to rush forward quickly, and then try to prevent its formation from being dispersed or being trampled by the enemy.
"I hate it," Liang Yimai shouted in grief and anger when he saw this scene.
It's so miserable, even worse than the last time Dashun City defeat.
However, Liang Yiming rushed forward, and was about to approach the Xia army in front. At this moment, he heard a sentence: "That was Liang Yiming, let him escape back to Xixia."
I don’t know which Song Dynasty general yelled.
The defeated Xixia army on the side of this roar was inexplicable, and the general shouted again: "Let this little girl go back to the West and let him mess with Xixia, which will be beneficial to the Song Dynasty without any harm."
"Ah, ah." Liang Yimeng screamed in anger.
It is conceivable how dangerous this sentence would have occurred if it was passed back to Xixia and this crushing defeat.
And the Song army really obeyed this order. No matter how Liang Yimeng ran forward, the Song army would not arrest him or kill him. And he ran forward, and generals recognized him along the way, and immediately sent an order to let Liang Yimeng go!
At this moment, Liang Yimeng had any prestige? Even if he ordered, many Xia Bing glared in his eyes and did not listen to his orders.
The Xia army fled north, and the Song army chased north. As soon as they arrived at Baibao City, another Song army suddenly broke out, which was Yan Da's six thousand soldiers.
And this time he cut hard, cutting out four-fifths of the Xia army, with only Liang Yongneng and a few troops in front of him. But it did not mean that the one-fifth of the Xia army was safe. After Yan Da cut off the Xia army, he immediately followed and chased the deserters in front.
All this came too ruthlessly, and that was Yan Da, who fought against 50,000 yuan, could make Ren Duoling Ding afraid of him and dare not attack the leader of Huaian Town.
Besides, when they fled here, it was already dusk, so the defeated troops of Xixia once again crazily exploded the camp, and countless soldiers fled to both sides. Soon, the guards of Baibao City encountered the problem of the guards of Anjiang Fort just now. The gate could not be closed, and Liang Yi was buried behind him and had not followed him.
Escape.
Liang Yongneng and the soldiers of Baibao City fled again.
But here the Song army began a fierce sniper. As Gao Yongneng entered Baibao City, he immediately blocked the city gate, and then asked Gui Nianglang to yell: "Except Liang Yi, the rest of them immediately dismounted and surrendered, and those who resisted died."
Liang Yimeng has not entered the city yet, but you can enter the city with confidence and boldness. Once you enter the city, we will continue to let you go... (To be continued)
