The Great Jin Kingdom was defeated!
He lost because of his strength, it was no fluke at all!
Although Yue Fei's three thousand cavalry suddenly came out from behind the ambush woods, catching Wanyan Qi by surprise.
However, Yue Fei only had 3,000 cavalry on hand, and Li Shifu had only 4,000 infantry on the western front of the formation, even including the 1,000 red scarf cavalry and 4,000 light cavalry that detoured back to Wanyanqi's right wing. In this battle, the total force invested by the Song Army was only 4,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry. Compared with Wanyanqi's more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry, there was not much advantage in quantity. Moreover, Yue Fei and Li Shifu did not use artillery in this battle. They only asked the grenadiers to throw more than a thousand mines. In addition, they did not use firearms.
It is true that Yue Fei and Li Shifu laid a trap for Wanyanqi and deceived this "honest Tatar". But to be honest, this trap was not laid out cleverly at all! Not to mention Wanyan Qi's father Wanyan Zongwang, even Wanyan Zongqian and Wanyan Zongfu who commanded the troops to attack Li Shifu's troops on the other side of the Yu River could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
When they saw that Wan Yanqi actually led more than ten thousand elite soldiers to fight out of Yuguan City, and then stupidly went into the trap, the two of them were so anxious that they almost fell off the lookout car. .
Is this what Wanyanqi, who has been regarded as a child prodigy since he was a child, does?
At this level, not to mention his father Wanyan Zongwang, even Wu Qimai's "silly sons" Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zonggu were much better than him.
But having said that, Wanyanqi's "Wanyan" this year seems to be a bit weak!
Wanyan has a crow's mouth, and what he says is clear and logical, but when it comes to doing it, he's sure to be a loser!
Wan Yanqi now seems to be an "honest child prodigy". He can be a high-ranking official who lives around, but he can't fight at all.
Wanyan Heng (Wanyan Zongbi's son) didn't know how to study at a young age, he only knew how to play polo and hunting. Even if he could go to the battlefield in the future, he would be a brave man without any plans.
Wanyan Dan is ordinary and has no sense of existence.
Wan Yanliang peeks at women all day long... He will definitely be a womanizer when he grows up! As for other talents, he seems to have a bit of "poetic talent", but I haven't noticed the other talents for the time being.
With such a group of people, who can deal with Yue Fei and Li Shifu, the two young generals of the Song Dynasty in the future? These two generals are both less than thirty years old. If they are better maintained, they can continue to fight for the Song Dynasty in the east and west for another thirty years!
The Great Jin Kingdom... seems to have no successors!
"Brother, Wanyanqi seems to have escaped..."
Wanyan Zongfu's sharp eyes saw from a distance that after the Song army's cavalry came out of the woods, they stood there stupidly. Wanyanqi's Wei Bo Jiedushi flag, which had never moved again, suddenly fell down, and the flag under the flag suddenly fell. The one or two hundred cavalry immediately retreated westward, all the way to the moat of Yuguan City, and finally ran north again.
Obviously, when Wan Yanqi, the "honest prodigy", saw that his defeat was certain, he shamelessly chose to escape!
What's even more outrageous is that Wan Yanqi, who was so stupid when he was commanding the battle, has become shrewd now. Instead of following the trend and running south, let alone running into Yuguan City, he unexpectedly ran north - initiated The red scarf cavalry of the Song Army came from that direction. It was a decisive attack. Of course, they would go all out, and they would definitely use as much strength as they could.
So if Wanyanqi runs in this direction, there is a high probability that he can escape... But the question is, Wanyanqi doesn't want the army his father left for him? Don't care about Yuguan City, which is under attack?
If Wan Yanqi ran south and stayed with Wei Bojun's main force, he might be able to clean up and bring out three to five thousand people.
It would be fine if he retreated into Yuguan City. There were still thousands of people in Yuguan City, right? If we can organize it well, we should be able to hold on until Wanyan Xiebao arrives. Moreover, Wanyanqi's location is very close to Yuguan City, and he can enter the city just by turning around. This is probably why the Song Army did not send troops to attack him, right?
But Wan Yanqi just passed the Yuguan City Gate without entering, and ran directly to the north... This move was something that even Yue Fei and Li Shifu didn't expect!
Once Wan Yanqi ran away, Yuguan City would definitely not be able to hold on for long, and the battle outside Yuguan City would lose its last trace of suspense.
After the disastrous defeat at Yuguan, Yue Fei's main force was freed up to beat up Wanyan Xiebao who was heading north. If Wanyan Xiebao was defeated by Yue Fei, then Wanyan Zongbi would be in danger.
If Wanyan Zongbi and his 80,000 troops were gone...if the Battle of Yuguan went to this point, the Kingdom of Jin would almost be doomed!
When Wanyan Zongqian thought of this, he had the urge to spread his wings and fly across the Yu River to catch Wanyan Qi and bite him to death!
But he couldn't fly, and he wasn't very good at biting, so he had to grit his teeth and say to Wanyan Zongfu: "Yinliduo, hurry up and run to Xiebao's army!"
"Ah," Wanyan Zongfu also realized the seriousness of the problem, "Brother, what will I say after I go?"
How to say?
This is a problem!
Wanyan Xiebao's army was given by his father, not by Marshal Du's Mansion... So it was impossible for Wanyan Zongfu to seize Xiebao's military power with Wanyan Zongqian's order.
And Xie Bao, could he use his father's army to fight all his enemies just to save Yan Zongbi, his cousin?
It can't be!
Moreover, Wanyan Xiebao was still the leader of the "Runaway Faction". Before the Battle of Yuguan, he had many private discussions with the powerful factions of the Kingdom of Jin - discussing who should be the official of the Roman Kingdom? Who goes to Baghdad to be Khan!
If you want to run away and become a Roman official, of course you must have strength! Otherwise, if you go to the West, you will have to live under the shelter of others, and at most you will have a good life in the Western Tang Dynasty...
Wanyan Zongqian sighed: "Go and tell him...for the sake of the Kingdom of Jin, Wushu must be given a hand! Wushu is his cousin!"
...
When Wanyan Zongfu found Wanyan Xiebao with two to three hundred caizi horses, this "future Roman official" with an army of 50,000 had just arrived at Yanghe Village - it was Wanyan Zongbi who retreated eastward from the west bank of Yanghe River. The only way to go.
This place is still eight miles away from the Yuguan battlefield, twelve miles away from the Yu River, and more than ten miles away from Wanyan Zongbi's army - Wanyan Zongbi never thought that Wanyanqi, "someone else's child", could deceive people more than Wanyan Xiebao. , so he is still confronting Zhao Kai!
Now if Xiebao wants to cross the Yu River and escape to safety, he must pass through the plain six miles south of Yuguan... And if he wants to win over Yan Zongbi, he must pass south of Yuguan A twelve-mile-long defense line was deployed to block Yue Fei's army.
So Xie Bao was a little dumbfounded after hearing Zong Fu's words, and almost said the words "I'm done".
Wanyan Xiebao raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already very dark now!
He looked north again and found that there were still flickering fires over Yuguan.
Listening carefully, there are also the roaring sounds of artillery fire and bursts of shouts of killing... It seems that Yuguan is still resisting, and Wanyan Zongqian has not given up.
However, Xiebao knew that Yuguan could not hold on for long, and its city walls could not withstand the constant bombardment of the 10-pound cannon. If there were still tens of thousands of gold soldiers led by Wan Yanqi in the city, they could still withstand street fighting for a few hours... But now, I'm afraid it won't be long before Yuguan falls.
As soon as Yuguan falls, the southerners' army of 100,000 will press forward!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Xiebao made a decisive decision and immediately ordered: "Send the order... The whole army will take Wanhu on the left of Beijing Road as the vanguard and Wanhu on the right of Beijing Road as the rearguard, and immediately advance towards the Yu River!"
When Wanyan Zongfu heard this, he almost fell off his horse... Did this oblique guard really not want to use Wushu?
Without Wushu's 80,000-strong army, the Jin Kingdom doesn't even know if it can survive. Even if you go to the West and become a Roman official, your conscience will be painful.
Thinking of this, Wanyan Zongfu quickly rode forward, grabbed the reins of the Persian horse under Xie Bao's crotch, and said loudly: "Xie Bao, even if you don't care about Wushu, you can't ignore the lives of 80,000 soldiers!"
Wanyan Xiebao shook his head and said: "Uncle Yinliduo...are you confused? My fifty thousand people can't stop the Southerners' one hundred thousand army! Even if I am between the Yanghe River and the Yuhe River Fighting against the Southerners will not help... but will make the defeat irreversible!
Because once my 50,000 men are destroyed, the southern army between the Yang River and the Yu River can be transferred to the west of the Yu River! At that time, the Southerners only need to use 20,000 people to block Yanghe Village and hold back Uncle Wushu.
Moreover, there is also a pontoon in the Yanghe Banjiaobao Fort. Once Uncle Wushu moves to Yanghe Village, Zhao Kai will cross the river via the Banjiaobao!
If the two southern armies meet on the east bank of the Yang River, then not only Uncle Wushu's army will be finished, but Marshal Du will also be finished...Uncle Yinli Duo, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep shaking your head? Isn't what my nephew said right? "
Wanyan Zongfu almost burst into tears, "Stop talking... If you keep talking, the Kingdom of Jin will be gone!"
Well, if you let this crow's mouth continue talking, the Kingdom of Jin will indeed be gone!
Wanyan Xiebao was stunned again and again, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Wanyan Zongfu had no choice but to ask: "Xie Bao... tell me, what should we do now?"
"Now..." Wanyan Xiebao thought for a while, "Now we can only let Uncle Wushu lead his troops to retreat to Yanghe Village. I will lead the troops to join forces with Marshal Du, and then rely on the Yu River to confront the Southern Army. . We can build some short forts on the east bank of the Yu River, so that we can block the southerners' firearms."
He is learning and applying it now!
Wanyan Zongfu just shook his head: "Then, what about Wu Shu? How long can his 80,000 troops hold on in Yanghe Village? He didn't bring much food, and there is even less food in Yanghe Village!"
Wanyan Xiebao shook his head, "Uncle...I don't know about this, but Uncle Wushu has been in battle for a long time and will not be wiped out so easily. Maybe he has a way to escape?"
He looked at Wanyan Zongfu and said, "Uncle, how about we explain the current situation clearly to him and let him find a way to escape with his troops..."
Wanyan Zongfu was speechless after hearing this, but he had no other choice. If Xie Bao wanted to preserve his strength, could he still force Xie Bao to die?
In the end, he could only sigh: "That's all we have to do..."
