Chapter 35 In the fourth quarter, the Yan Song army was defeated

Although the Xixia army was coming aggressively, the Song army was desperate to kill the enemy, so it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.However, at the critical moment of the fierce battle between the two armies, an unexpected incident directly led to the defeat of the Song army. What happened? At this time, the Xixia army called for gold, withdrew their troops and retreated, and prepared their troops for another attack. The Song army also retreated a little, and after rectification, they could meet the enemy again.Originally, it was normal for the two armies to fight fiercely on the battlefield. When the two armies were in a stalemate, Mingjin retreated, reorganized the team, and lined up for another battle. Timidly, he was originally in the back team, and Guo Zun, Liu Ping, Shi Yuansun and other famous generals were fighting their lives in the front.As the supreme commander of the army, Liu Ping was shot in the ears, shoulders, and cheeks by Xia soldiers with arrows.Huang Dehe was originally in the rear team and was not injured, but when he saw the Song army retreating, he thought it was bad, our army was defeated, so he got on his horse and ran away.When he ran, the soldiers didn't know the truth, and they really thought that the Song army was defeated, so they all ran away.The soldiers in front were about to fight fiercely with the Xia army, and when they saw that they were running behind, they messed up the camp.Liu Ping was very anxious. At this critical moment, his camp was in chaos, so he hurriedly sent his son to chase Huang Dehe.

Liu Ping's son caught up with Huang Dehe, reined in his horse, and told him that now is the most critical moment. General Wanwang must rein in his troops to fight back and hit the bandits hard. Don't run away.Otherwise, after you go back, you won’t be able to explain it. If we don’t die in front of the battle, we will die in the military law. If we all work together, fight with the enemy and the Xixia army, we still have the possibility of survival. If you run, the whole army will definitely die this.Huang Dehe didn't listen, and continued to run on his horse. The soldiers didn't know what happened. Anyway, we ran when the coach ran away. It was a kind of herd mentality.Liu Ping hurriedly ordered his own army to go up to intercept it. According to historical records, one of Liu Ping's army "covered the soldiers with a stick and sword, and gained more than a thousand soldiers. After three days of fighting, the thief returned to Shuidong" ("Song History Liu Ping Biography").One of Liu Ping's relatives drew his sword and blocked the rout, but only stopped more than a thousand people.But the Song Army with only a thousand people still fought fiercely with Xia Army for three days, and Xia Bing retreated, which shows that the Song Army's combat effectiveness is not weak.General Guo Zun was determined to die, and entered and exited the enemy's formation one after another. The situation and scene were comparable to Zhao Zilong's seven entry and seven exits from Changbanpo.General Guo held a gun in one hand and a mace in the other, and swung a 180-jin weapon with both hands. In addition to the general's weight and the inertia of the horse, this swing was so round that no Xia Guo soldiers dared to stop it.Xia Jun stopped him with tying ropes, but every tying rope was cut off by Guo Zun.In the end, Xia Jun had no choice but to get out of the way. You can come wherever you want, and we won't stop you.Guo Zun knew that he was bound to die, so he made up his mind that before he died, I would kill one to earn money, and kill two to earn one.Seeing Xia Jun get out of the way, he went straight to Xia Guozhong Army and killed him.Xia Jun ambushed the archers, and fired ten thousand arrows at once. No matter how powerful you are, if thousands of archers gather to shoot, is there any chance of survival?Sad!nice!General Guo Zun died heroically.After Guo Zun's death, the imperial court regretted it very much and gave him a posthumous title.Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty personally named several sons of Guo Zun. The emperor named you and arranged the family history for you. It is a supreme honor.

Guo Zun died in this battle, Huang Dehe ran away again, and the Song army was basically gone.Liu Ping led his troops to fight and go, and set up wooden fences in front of the mountain to resist the Xixia army.The Xixia army split up and attacked, dividing the troops of Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun into two.The Xixia army surrounded the Song army, with lanterns and torches shining like daylight, shouting loudly, you are only a few people, what are you fighting for?Surrender forget it.Song Jun retorted, and told you to wait until the reinforcements arrived without a place to bury you.It's a pity that the reinforcements never arrived. In the end, the camp of the Song army was breached by the Xia army. Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun were exhausted, their horses were exhausted, and Lizhan was captured.

After Liu Ping was captured, Huang De and the villains who had fled back first filed a complaint, saying that the defeat was due to Liu Ping leading the crowd to escape.The imperial court was furious upon hearing the news, and immediately sent imperial troops to surround Liu Ping's mansion.But the truth is the truth, and the facts are the facts. Can you, Huang Dehe, hold the mouths of thousands of people with one mouth?Some soldiers who had fled back told the court the truth. It was Huang Dehe who fled before the battle, and Liu Ping died with all his strength.The imperial court immediately ordered that Huang Dehe fled before the battle. The law should be strictly enforced.Then, the imperial court gave Liu Ping's family generously.Soon, news came from Xia Guo that General Liu was not dead, but was captured. Now Yuan Hao has been recruiting him, and he didn't say whether Liu Ping surrendered or not. I can't make it as a consultant.However, it is inconvenient for the imperial court to get to the bottom of it, because after all, Liu Ping fought to the death for the country. If there is no credit, there will be hard work, and if there is no hard work, there will be fatigue. Although he was defeated and captured, he has fulfilled his responsibility. Still very generous.
