Chapter 56 Retreat
The fourth prince Jin Wushu's warship was protected by the Song army and was quickly sunk. Jin Wushu had no choice but to abandon the ship and fled.
Even though the Jin soldiers were elite troops, they were still not opponents of the Song army on the Yangtze River. Although the Jin people were born as fishing and hunting nations, they still had certain limitations in water wars.
Jin Wushu's face was gloomy, and he even fled back to the shore with a small wooden boat. There were also many loyal guards protecting him tightly, and escaped by chance, without burying the fish's belly.
The most miserable thing is the iron armored soldiers standing on the pontoon bridge. Although many people are not very good at water, they can only swim for a while and wear dozens of kilograms of armor and put on an iron turtle shell. How can they be achieved?
The 1,000 soldiers sent by Jin Wushu were almost wiped out, and the troops of each unit were seriously damaged. In the end, less than 40% of the Jin soldiers who could escape back to the shore were able to escape.
After the advantage on the water surface obtained by the Song army, it did not entangle, but instead shot condescendingly, dispersing the Jin soldiers on the shore, and calmly forming suppression.
Han Shizhong's fleet is not comparable to that of the Yangtze River Caishiji Navy. After all, this sail fleet is composed of sea ships. The sea ship has a deep draft and huge size. Apart from being not very flexible, it has almost no weaknesses in the Yangtze River.
The army was defeated thousands of miles away and had no desire to fight anymore. Jin Wushu was also extremely depressed. Ali said in a deep voice:
"The Fourth Prince, you can't cross the river here. We have not had a navy that confronts the Song army. Forcibly crossing the river is just a way to increase casualties. We need to think of some ways."
The Jin soldiers retreated for several miles before they set up camps next to them. This battle has damaged the Jin soldiers, and the 100,000 troops are not enough for them to harm them like this.
Jin Wushu also regretted it. The dog emperor was immediately at his fingertips, but he failed in close proximity. He said secretly:
"The Song people are indeed very scheming. They hang a piece of meat next to me but don't let me eat it. I suspect that we have been trapped a long time ago and have been surrounded by the Song army from the very beginning. We must jump out of this circle as soon as possible."
Elu Pu burst into tears in his heart. This time he sent troops to the fore. After all, his army had all been sent to the battlefield as a vanguard, and his troops were damaged too seriously. He said sadly:
"Fourth Prince, you can't just forget it. We must pay the blood debt and pay the blood, and pay the dog emperor's head to pay tribute to my brothers."
Jin Wushu also said depressedly:
"Oh, I'm also puzzled. How did the Song people expect our attack route?
General Ali defeated Caishi'an defenders the day before yesterday. He should have broken through Caishiji at that time, but was counterattacked by Zhao Gou'er.
The same is true today. We are about to take down the Dog Emperor, but the Song army navy suddenly arrived, which led to our failure. There must be something strange about this. I suspect that we have a Song traitor here…”
Jin Wushu's voice became lower and lower.
Everyone looked at the Han military camp, but Ali said with a stern face:
"Don't guess blindly. Before the matter is found out, you should not guess each other to avoid disrupting the morale of the army.
Even if this happens, we should have nothing to do."
Jin Wushu paused for a moment and said:
"I mean that's the same thing. Be careful, don't spread it in the army."
The generals here nodded solemnly. After all, the surrendered soldiers must be used by them. If they are killed indiscriminately, it will definitely cause turmoil. How many of the main forces in our Great Jin Kingdom are pure Jurchens?
Unfortunately, once the seeds of suspicion are planted in the heart, they will take root and sprout stubbornly, which is difficult to cure.
Jin Wushu took out the map and said:
"The Emperor of Song must have received the news early on that we want to attack here, so we will make a fuss and directly take out his hometown.
Ali, I will leave you with ten thousand soldiers, so you will be responsible for rebuilding rafts and pontoon bridges here, making more fires and cooking every day.
Then, the camp was expanded, the navy warship was built, and the decisive battle was made, but you must not cross the river and fight.
Unless I succeed, the Song army brings the main force back to the rescue, and you can send troops to chase after me carefully."
Ali nodded and said:
"Master, you can always trust me, I will live up to my trust."
Elu Pu: "I'm the same..."
Jin Wushu was slightly chasing his head. He was relieved to live this veteran. These thousands of households in the tent were all people who fought old and fought, so he naturally used them with confidence.
The group of people led by Ali was a little bit unwilling to accept discipline, and his prestige in the army was far inferior to his second brother Zonghan, so he was a little unable to afford it.
Jin Wushu pointed to the map and said:
"Our army will attack here and will definitely win it in one battle. You must not talk nonsense in the army, and you must not disclose your whereabouts. Those who violate the order will draw their teams and kill them all, and you will take care of your own words.
The Han army and the Liao army will not notify them for the time being, just let them wait for the military orders.”
"yes!"
...
In the Nan'an Song Army camp, Zhao Jiu had already taken off his military uniform and put on his regular clothes. After taking off his armor, he felt relieved.
Zhao Jiu took a hot bath under the service of Wu Yu and Wu Madam. Naturally, he could not avoid touching him during this period, but Wu Yu was really angry and did not let Zhao Jiu succeed.
After a long time, Wu Yu said slowly:
"If the official family comes one step late today, then the official family knows what the consequences will be in the world?
If Jin Wushu was captured by the Jin people and brought to Jiangnan, the great cause of the world would collapse.
If Your Majesty dies.
The emperor who had no orthodox status in the Song Dynasty was supporting one or two puppet emperors at that time, and the Song Dynasty was in danger.
The official family can naturally pass away, but the one you take on is the Song Dynasty, and Yu Gong became the sinner of the world. Yu privately also feels sorry for his wife, daughter, and concubine..."
As Wu Yu said that, it was already full of pear blossoms and tears.
What else could Zhao Jiu do? He had to hug Wu Yu and Miss Wu, and comforted him carefully:
"Little girl, which man from a family has made you angry? I don't want to rely on it. How can a beauty with such a beautiful country with a beautiful beauty that is so beautiful that she can't be ignored?
Whose bullying was this? I will teach him a lesson for you."
Wu Yu took the sleeve of Zhao Guan family hard, wiped his nose and tears, and then said fiercely:
"I dare not. The Zhao family in Cangzhou is a great family, and he is even more powerful and powerful in the court. There are many evil servants and lackeys. You should save your worries.
However, I have already invited Mr. Li and the Empress Dowager to make the decision, so I believe this evil man will be brought to justice."
Zhao Jiu said with a stern face:
"Oh, you little nymph. I used to think that you were young and ignorant, but you were even holding the prime minister and the queen.
I can't bear it? I have learned the best skills of the master since I was a child. His martial arts are unique in the world. His stick skills are superb and powerful, and they can be big or small. Today I will let you learn the mystery of this stick method."
Zhao Jiu went up to a set of stick methods and three consecutive sets of tricks. Wu Yu shouted unjustly and begged for mercy. His voice was like a cuckoo crying.
