903 Smooth sailing
“Retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat, those Golden Dogs have retreated, retreat, retreat!”
“We won, Yingluo!”
Seeing that the remaining ships of the Jin dynasty did not dare to fight anymore and fled like rabbits, the soldiers and civilians of the song Dynasty on the river and on the shore cheered.
Lord, we’ve won! We’ve won! Xia Pingan said excitedly as he stood on the mountain and looked at the river in the distance. Shi Jun, who was covered in blood, came to Xia Pingan with a few guards who were also covered in blood.
Even though victory was right in front of them, and even though they had fought a bloody battle for more than half a day, the song Army still could not believe that they had won just like that. They had less than 20000 people, but they had actually forced back the hundreds of thousands of Jin dynasty soldiers.
“Everyone, you’ve worked hard. The Golden men have only retreated temporarily. Wanyan Liang’s Army is still here. We’ll call the Golden Bell and withdraw the Army,” Xia ping ‘an said calmly.
“Yes!”
The song Army warships on the river heard the signal to retreat and heaved a sigh of relief. One of the wheels of the stepping cart sea Loach boat turned over the snow White waves and returned to the south bank. This time, all the stepping cart sea Loach boats of the song Army did not suffer any losses. However, some soldiers on the boat were shot by arrows, and there were not many casualties.
Without Xia Pingan’s order, the people who were watching the battle by the river had already begun to make a din when they saw the song Army defeat the Jin men. They slaughtered pigs and sheep and sent carriages after carriages of good food and wine to the military camp.
Xia ping ‘an ordered that they were allowed to have a sumptuous meal, but they were not allowed to drink. All the injured soldiers were taken care of and consoled. All the doctors within a hundred miles had been summoned, and Xia ping’ an had even personally inspected the injured soldiers ‘barracks. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and he had also arranged for people to patrol the riverbank.
After the great victory, the song Army’s morale was high. It swept away the previous dejection and everyone was busy counting the results of the battle.
In the evening, Xia ping ‘an met with the song Army’s general in the big tent.
Zhang Zhen, Wang Qi, Shi Jun, Dai AI, Sheng Xin, and the other song army generals who had participated in today’s battle came to the tent in armor. The way they looked at Xia Pingan was completely different from before. They were all convinced.
generals, in today’s battle, we have killed more than 6000 Jin soldiers on the river and on the shore. Among them, we have killed three ten-thousand-man commanders and seven thousand-man commanders, and captured more than 400 of them alive. The first batch of soldiers who landed on the shore annihilated the entire Jin army. looking at these excited song army generals, Xia Pingan first reported the results of today’s battle, and then cupped his hands to the generals. yunwen congratulates you all for your contributions. After the battle is over, you will be rewarded according to your contributions. The fame and wealth that I promised the generals at that time is nothing less than a matter of fact!”
Hearing Xia ping ‘an’s words, these generals were all overjoyed. Previously, they had been fooled by Xia ping’ an in various ways, so they stayed behind. Unexpectedly, they had made a great contribution today. After exchanging a glance with each other, they bowed to Xia ping ‘an at the same time and said in unison, ” it’s all because of Lord Yu’s good command and strategic planning. Today, you were able to take the lead, so we could win today!
After the song generals stood up, Shi juncai knelt down on one knee again with an ashamed expression. Shi Jun was a little hesitant when he set up the formation by the river today. I even let you take the lead to attack the enemy’s formation. I am ashamed. Please punish me, Your Excellency!
Xia ping ‘an quickly helped Shi Jun up and said with a serious face, ” you’re too kind. General Shi fought valiantly today. You led your troops to annihilate the first batch of Jin dynasty soldiers who came ashore and repelled their attacks several times. In my opinion, general Shi only has merits and no mistakes. I hope you don’t take my words to heart!
At that time, the Jin dynasty soldiers had come ashore by boat. Shi Jun had led the Army in formation to wait for them, but he was a little hesitant and afraid to fight. Xia Pingan was at the side and said to Shi Jun, ” you have the courage to hear about the four directions, but you are like a woman after setting up the formation. When he had finished speaking, Xia ping ‘an had been the first to rush out. At that time, Shi Jun had been extremely embarrassed. When he saw Xia ping’ an rush out, he had also been shocked. It was only then that he had risked his life and led his subordinates to rush out and fight the Jin dynasty soldiers.
Shi Jun looked at Xia Pingan gratefully.
“I didn’t expect that Daren would have such exquisite swordsmanship and martial arts. It’s really admirable!” Zhang Zhen said in admiration.
“My sword and martial arts were taught to me by an extraordinary person in my early years. I didn’t expect to be able to go to battle with the generals in the Caishi Canyon today. I’ve not let down what I’ve learned.” Xia ping ‘an smiled slightly. She turned the topic and said with a serious face,”Wanyan Liang suffered such a defeat today. I’m sure he won’t be satisfied. He will certainly want to make a comeback. Generals, don’t be careless!””I’m sorry, but I’m sorry.”
When the few song generals heard this, they nodded their heads.
“Lord Yu, do you have any countermeasures?”
“I saw that after the Jin soldiers” ships retreated today, they all gathered at the Yanglin ferry in the north of the river. Wanyan Liang must want to send the ships to fight tomorrow!” Xia ping ‘an pointed to the map on the table and said to a few generals,”those Jin people have been invading South all the way. They’re powerful and arrogant. They’ve almost never encountered an attack from the song Army. So, I’m sure that Wanyan Liang didn’t expect us to take the initiative to attack. The Jin soldiers” defense is bound to be lax. Tonight, we’ll make some preparations. Let the sea Loach boat bring more gunpowder, rockets, and kerosene. Before dawn tomorrow, we’ll take the initiative to attack the Yanglin ferry and completely destroy those boats of the Jin people at the Yanglin ferry.”He’s going to cut off his hopes of crossing the river!”
Xia ping ‘an looked at Sheng Xin, who was commanding the Navy today, and said to him, ” the warship will still be under your command. Tomorrow, I’ll board the warship with you and attack the Yanglin ferry!
don’t worry, my Lord. I will do my best in this battle. Please wait for my news in the camp and don’t take any more risks! Sheng Xin quickly said.
“My Lord, please do not take any risks!” The other song army generals also tried to persuade him.
......
This time’s surprise attack was very beautiful. Almost all of the Jin dynasty’s ships were destroyed at the Yang Lin ferry. Wanyan Liang’s plan to cross the river at Caishi Ji was completely ruined.
If martial arts didn’t work, then he would use civil Arts.
Wanyan Liang saw that his boat was destroyed. The next day, he actually wrote a letter of persuasion and let the messenger cross the river to send it to Xia ping ‘an.
In the camp, Xia ping ‘an and a group of song Army’s generals looked at the letter that Wanyan Liang sent to persuade them to surrender. They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. That Wanyan Liang, until now, still thought that the one commanding the song Army in Caishi Ji was Wang Quan, that rubbish softie. The letter to persuade them to surrender was sent to Wang Quan, and the eighteen thousand song Army in Caishi Ji was still regarded by Wanyan Liang as the song Army’s Huaxi main force.
......
What happened after was the same as in history. The Jin army suffered a great defeat in Caishi, but another Jin army made a breakthrough in gua Zhou. After Wanyan Liang heard the news, he decided to lead the Army to Yangzhou and then cross the river in gua Zhou. It wasn’t until this time that li xianzhong, as the Commander-in-Chief of the battlefield, finally arrived at Caishi.
Faced with Caishi’s great victory, li xianzhong was dumbfounded. After Xia Pingan and Li xianzhong took over, he led a team of people and a Loach boat to gua Zhou to attack the Jin army again.
In gua Zhou, facing the song Army’s main force from huaidong and Yu Yunwen who had rushed to gua Zhou, Wanyan Liang had crossed the river several times to test the waters. The result was that he lost some soldiers and generals. He didn’t gain the slightest advantage.
On the 26th day of the 11th month, Wanyan Liang, who wanted to destroy the great song and then return to pacify the internal strife to achieve a “double victory,” gathered his troops in gua Zhou and ordered the Jin army: “If you can’t cross the river in three days, all the military ministers will be executed.” In order to intimidate the entire Army, Wanyan Liang even executed the execution method in the Army. He killed a few ministers to establish his power. As a result, everyone in the Jin army was in danger.
...
......
The next day, when the Jin Army’s camp in gua Zhou had a mutiny and Wanyan Liang was being strangled, Xia ping ‘an was carrying a poem. With light steps, he once again went to see the sick Liu Jie. These days in gua Zhou, in addition to continuing to make things difficult for Wanyan Liang, Xia ping’ an and Liu Jie had become friends despite the age difference. The two appreciated each other.
“Father bin has come to visit me again? the battle at the front line in gua Zhou can’t be delayed. Father bin’s prestige in the Army is as high as a mountain. As long as father bin is in gua Zhou, the soldiers in the Army will be at ease. They know that Wanyan Liang won’t come back.”
Xia ping ‘an smiled slightly,”it doesn’t matter. The great change in the camp of the Jin dynasty is imminent. In a few days, they will retreat. Wanyan Liang has one foot in the gate of hell. I know that uncle Xin likes poetry. Usually, you have also written a lot. Today, I got a poem and specially brought it to uncle Xin to see!””Uncle Xin, you’re right.”
the last time you came to see me, you told me that there was a great change in the Jin Kingdom. But now, the camp of the Jin soldiers is still fine! Liu Da shook her head with a bitter smile, but she could not help but ask, ” what word is it? ”
Xia Pingan handed over the script in her hand.
shuidiao getou: Wen Caishi defeats the Tao Wu. Liu Chang was shocked when she saw the name of the poem, and then continued to read, ” the snow washed away the dust, the wind asked Chu yunliu to stay. Who wrote the tragic story and blew the horn of the ancient city Tower? The peaceful lake and sea gave rise to a heroic spirit, the current scenery of the pass, cutting candles to look at the hook. Where the joyous flame rhinoceros was, the stormy waves and the sky floated. He recalled the past, Zhou and Xie, Fu Chunqiu, Xiao Qiao’s first marriage, her fragrant pouch still unopened, and her noble career. The head of the red Cliff shone on the ground, the withered grass by the Feishui bridge made one sad. I want to leave the wind to strike down vowing middle-stream.”
good lyrics, good lyrics. Did you write this, father bin? ” Liu Ying looked at the joints and praised.
“I can’t write it, this poem was written by Zhang Xiaoxiang”
Just as Xia Pingan finished speaking, the world in the realm Pearl suddenly shattered.
......
In the secret room, after the fluctuation of divine power in his body had subsided, Xia Pingan opened his eyes and smiled. another divine bone has been added. This is already the 29th divine bone. I guess no one can surpass this speed of cultivation advancement. at this moment, after Xia Pingan had integrated the previous 16 realm beads, he had more than 28 divine bones in his body. He had already become a level three God’s chosen one.
He then took a look at the time in the backroom. It was already past 8 am the next morning. He had started to integrate realm beads since he came back last night. He didn’t finish integrating those realm beads until this morning.
He looked at the realm pearls beside him. There were still two realm pearls that had not been fused. One was ” mountain and water “, and the other was ” stuck together. it would not take long to fuse these two realm pearls.
......
Forty minutes later, Xia Pingan was already having breakfast in the dining room. He was still thinking about whether he should go and claim his 10000 Thale bonus today. Then, the villa’s doorbell rang. Madam Caitlin’s carriage, which had not appeared for many days, was already parked outside.
Xia Pingan felt that something good was about to happen again.
