Thirty-fourth chapter three
The Qin army went south from Xu County for three days and set up camp near Gushan, pretending to attack the Six Forts of Gushan. On this day, a retainer from Ningxing Prefecture came to see Ying Jin, saying that it was better to ring the gong on the city at the first update tonight, so that the prince could advance, and the master of Jia's mansion would offer the city.
At the beginning of the update, the moonlight was not up. Ying Jin pointed out the three armies and divided the troops to set up the troops to set up the troops on the left, the governor of Runan, Yingzhou, Lei Eidi, led the troops on the right, and personally led the governor of Hongnong, Dingbei, Zhang Kai, the governor of Anping, Zhongshan, Yang Wen, the governor of Sikou, Dingzhou, Han Cunbao, Yang of Yangxia, Dingzhou, Yang Yuanzhen, the governor of Pengcheng, Langya, Xiang Yuanzhen, and the governor of Tianshui, Qinghe, and the governor of the six generals, led troops to wheat to rob grain.
All the generals said, "Your Majesty is outside the city. Let us enter the city first to observe the movements and stillness in the city, so that we can tell the truth or falsehood."
Ying Jin said, "If I don't go in person, who will move forward!"
The Qin army rushed east overnight, and in just one hour, he could see the flags on the Song army's earthen city from afar. Ying Jin only looked at the Xijiao Gate of Maiziyuan. There was indeed a white flag with the word "Yi" and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Suddenly, he could only hear a gong on the west gate, shouting everywhere, figures on the top of the city swayed, torches stirred, and the west gate slowly opened.
Ying Jin took the lead and entered the city first. The generals then led the troops to advance and rushed into the city together. The Qin army rushed all the way to the outside of the central army's tent, but no Song soldier was seen on the way. Ying Jin was suspicious and suddenly heard a cannon sound in the central army's tent, and the city was full of fire and burst into the sky. It turned out that there were some fire-driven objects hidden in these granaries. When the Qin army entered the jar, the Song soldier set fire everywhere, burning the Qin soldier to his head and burning the Qin soldier to his head and his soul scattered. The Anping Jiedushi of Zhongshan, Zhang Kai, and the Sikou Jiedushi of Dingzhou, Yang Wen, died in the chaos.
Ying Jin then realized that it was a plan, so he hurriedly returned to the horse and shouted to retreat, but he heard a gong on the top of the city, and the sound of golden drums in the city was ringing, and the sound of killing was like a rumbling river and sea. He only looked at Duan Pengju, Liancheng guard commander Chen Qi, Xincheng guard commander Chen Yi, Suiyang commander commander Wu Yi, Zhengkou commander Han Ming, two attacks and blocked the Qin soldiers, and were defeated. Ying Jin was not interested in fighting, so he was defeated and walked into the north gate. He ran out of the road from the road to the Tangzhou commander commander Ma Wanli, and Ruzhou commander Zhou Xin, and killed another time. Ying Jin led the defeated army to the west gate, and was blocked by Wang Ting, commander commander of Songyang, and Han Tianlin, the commander of Xu Dao.
The Qin generals who followed the army all angrily gritted their teeth and rushed out with all their might. With just a chaotic battle, they killed Wang Ting, the commander of Songyang's army, and the Song Bing retreated a little. They only said that the four Jiedus protected Ying Jin, fought a bloody path, and fled out of the city.
The Qin army had suffered a lot of hard battles and lost many people to escape from the city. They were exhausted. Before everyone could breathe a breath, they rushed another army from the woods beside the road. Under the flames, they saw that the flag on the front was clearly written by Sun Quan, the commander of the Jiangbei Imperial Camp, and everyone was shocked. At that moment, they suddenly heard the sound of killing behind the Song army and shocked the earth, but there were two soldiers and horses that were killed. They only covered the Song army with one blow, killing the Song army in chaos. Ying Jin took the opportunity to attack Sun Quan in front, but the Song army was attacked by the enemy from both sides and outnumbered, and finally defeated. Li Chun, the imperial guard in front of the imperial army, also died in the chaos.
Ying Jin killed Sun Quan and took the remaining Qin army to the great village of Gushan. He only ran north towards Xuxian. The generals protected the old Qin prince and ran north for three or four hours. Seeing that although the sky was already bright, the dark clouds were covered with the ground. After a while, heavy rain was pouring in, everyone was discouraged and cursed, saying that God was really hateful, but he liked to send umbrellas after the rain. If this timely rain had happened a few hours earlier, it would not have been such a crushing defeat.
Fortunately, Sun Quan was not chasing from behind at this moment, and everyone felt a little relieved. After a night of hard fighting, the troops were already hungry and exhausted. Ying Jin only ordered the soldiers to rest in front and kill the horses and eat.
Then, Zhang Heiwu and Gao Bao led some defeated generals to catch up. Seeing that these two were covered in dust and were injured, Ying Jin couldn't help but sigh and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Today, I am thankful that Gao Gongming is here to teach me how to divide the troops. If not, the entire army will be wiped out today."
Gao Bao looked at the wounded soldiers all over the road, and saw Ying Jin's arm and hair were burned, so he wanted to comfort him: "Prince, this night..."
Ying Jin shook his white hair and laughed loudly: "Victory and defeat are common among military strategists! Although our army failed in this battle, we still have my capital in the north, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are still there! When we reorganize, we will win again in the future!" As he said that, he actually burst into laughter.
The soldiers were burying the pot to make rice, and suddenly they heard the shouts of killing from the west. Everyone was in panic and did not have time to fill their hunger. They followed Ying Jin in the rain and fled northward.
Everyone was hungry and cold, so where could they move? After a while, they heard the pursuers behind them getting closer and closer.
The remaining six Jiedus were so anxious that they turned their horses and each led some defeated soldiers to stop the pursuers. When the generals looked back, they were shocked to everyone. The person who came was nothing but Wei Shaokun. It turned out that Maiziyuan's one-night battle naturally alarmed Zhao Qin, and now only sent many sentries to check the news.
After dawn, the provocateurs came to report, saying that Sun Quan used fire to defeat the Qin army, and Ying Jin fled north with a few men. Zhao Qin heard this but didn't want to teach him to take all the credit, so he asked Wei Shaokun to gather troops to capture Ying Jin.
Ying Jin first slapped the horse and fled, and the six Jiedus came to fight Wei Shaokun together. Wei Shaokun was a proud and arrogant calf. Relying on his own bravery, he did not take these six Jiedus seriously at all. At that moment, he only used his big sword to fight against the six Jiedus.
Although these six governors are not ordinary people, they have endured a battle yesterday and their strength has been exhausted. Secondly, they are all over forty years, and their old age is naturally not as good as the one who is as strong as a tiger or a wolf. Thirdly, they are back from a big defeat and are already depressed, and they are already timid in their hearts.
Wei Shaokun was so angry that he was dancing with a big sword, and he fought with the six Jiedus on his left and right for dozens of rounds. The Song army was noisy from the side again, and the Qin generals were gradually panicked. Wei Shaokun saw a gap, but he slashed it with a knife, but it was like a thunderbolt. He killed Xu Jing, the governor of Pinglu of Hedong, and the governor of Runan of Yingzhou, and Leiba, fell off the horse. The Qin army was shocked and did not dare to fight again, so they fled one after another.
"Ying Jin, don't go!" Wei Shaokun screamed from behind like a rabbit, with his eyes red, and regardless of whether there were Song soldiers behind him, he plunged into the Qin army one by one. The Qin army was already scared. When he saw Wei Shaokun coming from behind with a fierce aura, he rushed into the flock of sheep like a tiger descending the mountain. Everyone shouted and scattered.
Wei Shaokun swung his sword straight to Ying Jin, and all the generals were like waves cracking. Who dared to stop him? Ying Jin heard the urgency of the wind behind him. When he looked back, Wei Shaokun was shaking, and the cold sword light had already covered an old face. Ying Jin let out a "ah" and his face was bloodless, almost falling off the horse. Wei Shaokun laughed, raised his sword and chopped him. Suddenly, another knife appeared in the air, only in front of Ying Jin, saving the life of the old prince Qin.
