The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 292 Between the advance and retreat

Wu Shujiu waited for many days but failed to receive good news from the navy's victory, but there was bad news from the defeated soldiers who fled from Bochuan and Baozhou. With the assistance of the navy, the Song army captured the two places. He immediately realized that

The retreat has been cut off. The navy must have been defeated without asking, but I don’t know what the loss is. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Wu Shu ordered his confidant to encircle all the defeated soldiers and prevent them from contacting the soldiers in the camp.

, prevent the spread of messages with truncated back paths.

Now there are strong cities in front and difficult to break through, but later there are strong troops breaking the road, there are vast seas in the west and mountains in the east, and the Jin army seems to have fallen into a dead place. At this time, Wu Shu had some of his decision to insist on attacking Xijing and not withdrawing troops, and also underestimated the Southern Dynasty.

The determination to maintain Goryeo was too optimistic about the situation, so that the army could not move forward or retreat.

"Military Supervisor, how much food is left in our army now? How many days can we eat?" Wu Shu knew that the news of the two places was lost will not be hidden for long, and those Moukes could not hide it. They must find a way to overcome the danger.

He simply summoned several senior generals from the army to pick up the matter and discuss the matter together.

"Tai Shi, some of the robbed food has not been transported away. If three meals can be eaten for twenty days, two meals can last for thirty days, but the weather is already cold. If heavy snow falls, horses and grass may not be able to survive.

There is a shortage!" Sali thought about reporting.

"Well, let all the troops step up the grass grain, and gold and silver can be given to them, but the food and grass must be uniformly allocated by the camp, and those who have private hiding will be executed!" Wu Shu knew that there was no food in the cold and cold land, and the army would collapse in an instant.

, he was defeated first for the war. He ignored gold and silver to increase morale, and the other was to increase their enthusiasm. However, there are still 20 days of food reserves that make him very pleased. In extreme cases, he can still slaughter the war horses for food

, it is still possible to persist for two months.

"Yes, Grand Master, my subordinates will give orders immediately!" Sali replied, "Tire Master, we are hoarding food and grass, do we have to stick to this place?" He asked again, Xijing City was under the danger. However, the terrain outside the city was terrain.

It is flat and has no danger to guard. If you want to survive the long winter here, it is nothing more than a dream.

"Do you have any other good ideas?" Wu Shu asked with a frown when he saw several people with a worried look on their faces.

"Tai Shi, the general thought that it would take advantage of the enemy's foothold and not steady to regain Bochuan as soon as possible to open up the road with the country and return to the army quickly!" Wanyan Yulie suggested. He couldn't help but complained about Wushu, the Jin army was the best at

It is a cavalry field battle, and it is a focus on rapid raids. If you can fight, you will fight. If you can’t fight, you will go around. If you can advance and retreat quickly, but the Taishi insisted on attacking Xijing City. It took more than a month to kill here, but the city was not defeated.

But he attracted the Song army brigade.

"Now retreat, even if we retake Bochuan, there will be a big river in front and a Song army behind the scenes, and then the army will be defeated. I am afraid that one in ten will be left behind if we retreat to the country, and the losses will be heavy!" Da Tabuye shook his head and said.

Think it is not feasible.

"Can you save it by staying here?" Wanyan Yulie said with disdain. The big tart is increasingly valued by Wu Shu because of his merit of "burning the boat". Who doesn't understand that the merit is just the Grand Master.

In order to cover up the failure, he had to package a defeat as a victory, but he unconsciously put a picture in front of them, which made people dislike him. Now he dares to refute his conscious opinions in public.

"This... I'm not saying that we can concentrate our forces to capture Xijing City!" Da Tabuye was choked, this place was dead, and the 100,000 troops were two hundred miles deep and only a hundred miles wide.

The place could not obtain enough supplies at all. Even if Song Jun sat in the city and remained motionless, he could watch them starve and freeze them to death, but he did not want to lose face and argued.

"Haha, very good!" Wanyan Yulie was happy when he said that he stood up and saluted Da Tabuye, "The general is brave. If your troops can ascend to the Xijing City, the young general is willing to return to his command and be a front guard!"

"You...this..." Da Tabuye suddenly stood up and pointed at Wanyan Yulie but had no way to refute. He also realized that he had said the wrong thing and the Grand Master could not even take down the city. Wouldn't he say that?

After lowering Wu Shu, he was even more cruel to Wanyan Yu Lie to squeeze himself out.

"Tai Shi, I thought there was still a way to retreat, and there was only a dead end to stay here. I thought I should withdraw my troops as soon as possible, otherwise it would be more difficult for us to retreat when a large number of Goryeo reinforcements arrived in Xijing!" Wanyan Yuli looked at it and didn't even see it.

Seeing that Da Tabuye was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, he asked Wu Shu again.

"The two generals have made sense!" Sa Li saw that the two of them were tense without saying a few words, as if they were about to eat each other. Wu Shu remained silent, and he hurriedly asked the two to sit down and said, "

We must make plans for both withdrawal and war. If we do not respond to the front, we will suffer losses. How long can we stay and can we persevere until the reinforcements arrive?"

"The Grand Tutor, the last general thought that it was a battle or a stay should make plans early. The defenders of Xijing City have been raising their strength for a long time. Once they go out, they will have to fight with a thunder strike. It would be best if our army can defeat the coalition forces of the two countries.

But when he drove south and approached Kaijing, the crisis was resolved. If he was not sure of victory, he would have to get rid of his own plan!" said Wanyan Nie'er.

"Well, the military supervisor thought it was a fight or a stay!" Wu Shu nodded and turned to ask Sa Li. He knew that it was not easy to advance or retreat.

"Tai Shi, according to the defeated army, the Southern Dynasty navy attacked Baozhou, with about 10,000 troops, concentrated in Bao and Yuan prefectures, and the Great Wall of Thousand Miles was guarded by about 30,000 Goryeo troops; there were about two Song troops who captured Bochuan.

Ten thousand people, the flag is one of its five main forces, and the rest of the prefectures and counties are occupied by the Goryeo Army, with three or five thousand to ten thousand defenders; the Song army in Xijing is leopard and two lions of the Song army, according to the flag.

The number of generals should be around 40,000, plus the Goryeo defenders, the strongest strength. As for its naval fleet, its naval fleet has evacuated from Baozhou, and in order to find its traces near Bochuan, it is estimated that it has left under the expulsion of our naval army.

Or go back to Hong Kong to avoid winter." Sali said, and he first introduced the deployment of the Song and Goryeo coalition forces.

"The military supervisor is that it is impossible to capture Xijing, so I can only return to the army quickly?" Wu Shu took a sip of wine and said in a deep voice. Although Sa Li's words were obscure, he also heard the subtext: Only Gao Li had been there before.

The army was defending Xijing City. We fought for nearly a month but failed to capture it. Now there is another 40,000 more Song army. There is definitely no hope.

"My subordinates thought that our army had swept the northern part of Goryeo this time, seized a large amount of supplies, eliminated tens of thousands of Goryeo troops, and shocked the Goryeo king. The purpose has been achieved. Now the Southern Dynasties intervened in the Goryeo state affairs and sent a large army to come. The enemy and our troops were disparity,

There was a report from the Song army gathering a large army in Yingzhou, as if taking advantage of the expedition of the Taishi, the emptiness of the country invaded our Dajin. Therefore, the subordinates thought that if there was any change in the country, the Taishi would be out of reach outside!" Sali said with a shout.

, He has now figured out the meridian of the Taishi, and his words and actions must not hurt his face or damage his majesty. He has to speak in a turn.

"What the military supervisor said was exactly what I thought. The people of the Southern Dynasty had always been despicable and did everything to do slutty. Taking advantage of the leadership of the army outside to attack Goryeo. The emperor did not know how to fight at a young age and invaded our Dajin. His heart was sinister! "Wu Shu touched the beard and smiled at Sali to express his comfort, "It has been ten days since the Song army arrived in Xijing, but he has shrunk into the city and does not fight with me, just to hold our army back and fear me. Aid, this is Zhao Er's trick, and I must not let him succeed!"

"The Grand Tutor is really the pillar of my Dajin and the pillar of the army. He is dedicated to the country!" Da Tabuye immediately stood up and said with tribute.

Yu Lie and Nie Er had goose bumps all over the floor after hearing this, but they saw that the "high-rise people" were about to ride on their necks. Okay, I quickly endured the disgust and said a few perfunctory words. . But he smiled bitterly in his heart. The Jurchen warriors all judge heroes by swords and guns, but the Taishi was increasingly concerned about his reputation and feathers, and cared about other people's opinions. If those verbal civil officials were so understandable, but as The commander of the first army deceived his superiors and subordinates in this way, but he would mislead the country and the army, and his confidence in the next battle was greatly reduced.

"It's too good. Since everyone thinks that the troops should be withdrawn, we need to come up with a proper solution!" Wu Shu had not yet flew into the sky, and remembered that the situation in front of him was not good for him, and asked everyone for their opinions with a smile.

"Tai Shi, the Song army in Xijing may have expected that we would withdraw our troops after we learned that Baozhou and Bochuan were lost, so they were not in a hurry to join the battle, but wanted to intercept the troops along the way while we withdrew. Therefore, we must try not to let them go His plan succeeded!" Sali said.

"You tell me in detail!" Wu Shu deeply agreed after hearing this. He had been marching and fighting for many years and knew that withdrawing troops was the most difficult. If he accidentally withdraws troops, it would become a disintegration. He was also at the moment without any good intentions and dared not withdraw easily. .

"Tai Shi, we can defend ourselves in the offensive!" Sa Lihe leaned forward and said, "The most threat to us at the moment are the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty, and they are now divided into three, and Xijing City has the most troops and the strongest strength. As long as they are held back, the other two routes will be unfair. The Goryeo Army is like a native of the god of gold in front of my Dajin Warrior!”

"What does the military supervisor attack mean to attack Xijing City?" Da Tabuye interrupted.

"No, it's a circumference!" Although Sa Lihe hated the "newbies" in front of the Grand Master, he did not dare to embarrass him in front of Wu Shu, and swallowed the words on his lips again.

"The military supervisor has no way to interrupt you. Just listen carefully!" Unexpectedly, Wu Shu glared at Da Tabuye and scolded him. Obviously, at the critical moment, he still relied on his own people.

"Tai Shi, since the Song army was looking forward to us leaving at this time, we just pretended to continue to siege the city and build villages, so that they could not understand our true intentions, and at the same time they could enhance our defense. After that, we can…” Sali drank to Wu Shu’s ear and told his plan. Wu Shu nodded frequently after hearing this, obviously very much about his thoughts…
