"General." Gao Qingyi became increasingly uneasy. "Not even a tenth of that."
"Even if it's not that bad, the way out is not inside, but outside! What's the point of you staying here?" Gao Jingshan cheered up and said calmly. "If you are willing, try to save me outside! You can't let me go with you, right? If I abandon the city and leave, the King of Wei will definitely kill me according to military law."
Gao Qingyi was also sad, and then he said with difficulty: "General, if you want to live..."
"Don't say it." Gao Jingshan shook his head quickly. "I can't possibly surrender... After all, the kindness of the Wanyan family is there. For twenty years, I have been a commander-in-chief, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and owning a famous city. What's the point of surrendering? Do you think I'm the second saint of the Song Dynasty? When you go out, tell the King of Wei and ask him not to worry. Just say that if something unexpected happens, I will never bring shame to the country."
Gao Qingyi was completely speechless and could only grit his teeth and reply: "If that's the case! I will do my best to help the commander-in-chief in front of the King of Wei and seek a chance of victory!"
Gao Jingshan nodded repeatedly, obviously in a perfunctory manner.
Gao Qingyi didn't stay any longer and went downstairs directly.
Without mentioning how these Bohai people lamented the situation, let's just say that after Wang Bolong died, his main cavalry was still surrounded in the camp, and the infantry left on the other side of the river were also attacked and killed in large numbers. Both sides almost collapsed completely at the same time. But only a quarter of an hour later, the Ali tribe, who had already seen the collapsed army and realized that the situation was not good, hurriedly appeared in the north.
The Song army's Beiwei cavalry was immediately divided into two, one part engaged in a melee with the Ali tribe to block the attack, while the other part continued to charge and kill in an attempt to annihilate as many defeated Jin army soldiers as possible.
However, as more and more Ali cavalry crossed the river, and especially as the remaining cavalry in Yuancheng risked huge casualties to force their way out of the city through the frozen water gate, they gradually appeared on the south side. The Beiwei Army finally gave up the intention of annihilating the last remnants of Wang Bolun and began to retreat cautiously.
Half an hour later, as the Song army completely withdrew to the camp, the eastern front of the battlefield returned to peace, and civilians even began to repair the defense line on the easternmost end. On the southern side of the eastern front, the flags of Erlubu and Wanyan Bendu finally appeared behind Damingcheng.
The two generals were already terrified when they encountered the defeated soldiers on the road. But when they met up with the Ali tribe and learned about the detailed battle situation, and found Wang Bolun's body which was as thin as cotton wool, they were completely panic-stricken and heartbroken.
This was not a matter of defeat or the death of a great general. It was a matter of thousands of households being destroyed out of thin air, and being destroyed so quickly!
Considering the critical juncture, if something like this happened, it would be more than just the loss of one million households.
There are some truths that these generals may not be able to explain clearly, but that does not prevent them from having a perceptual and keen understanding in their hearts.
In the afternoon, the scheduled time for the general attack arrived. Wanyan Bendu, Olubu, Ali, as well as Gao Qingyi and Pu Suyue who had escaped from the city, just stood there, not knowing how to respond, let alone whether to launch the general attack as originally planned.
Ali simply didn't know where to go.
Not only this side, but also the Shaohe tribe in the north heard the news and didn't know whether they should send their lives to the Song army's most solid northern defense line.
However, the transmission of information was delayed, and the main force of the Jin army on the western front, unaware of this, still organized and dispatched its troops, and launched the hot air balloon at the scheduled time at great risk.
Only after the hot air balloon rose, the senior commanders of the Jin army realized that something was wrong with the war, because at least Shaohe did not launch the entanglement operation as planned, and there was no reason why the movement of three Wanhu on the eastern front should be so small.
Just as they were hesitating and puzzled, a rider came from the north. Shaohe handed over the accurate information he had just obtained before Balisu and Wuzhu could question them.
Ba Lisu took a look first, was stunned on the spot, and then his hands began to tremble unconcealedly.
Wuzhu couldn't bear it any longer, so he stepped forward and snatched it away. But this time, as the back of his head began to churn again, he could no longer hold back as before.
"Wang Bolong! Give me back my ten thousand households!" On the bank of the Yellow River, Wuzhu roared instinctively, and he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost fell off his horse.
Fortunately, Tai Shi Nu was by his side and supported the King of Wei.
Just when Wuzhu was shocked by the intelligence and was in a dilemma, the last trace of fighting in the Song army camp was completely ended. He pulled the tooth out of the tiger's mouth in one battle. Although there were twists and turns, he finally achieved a great feat. The earthen hill that served as the command platform was naturally excited.
Like the Jin troops on both sides, although they could not say a thing or two, they all knew that at this critical juncture, the impact of swiftly and successfully annihilating a force of the Jin army would definitely exceed the victory itself.
Tian Shizhong was even more keenly aware that the situation, which had seemed difficult, had loosened.
At this moment, Yue Fei, who had hardly left his seat the entire time, noticed a messenger, and turned to Huang Zong, whose face changed visibly after hearing the news: "What's the matter?"
"Commander Wang Gang was seriously injured and died moments after returning." Huang Zong responded helplessly.
Yue Fei was silent for a moment, nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then looked to the west without saying a word.
Over there, the sounds of killing were still deafening, and there were still hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting hard up and down the river, as if nothing had happened.
But the work has been done, so how could there be no changes?
PS: Thanks to the new leader, I don’t want tragedy. This is the 191st cuteness in this book.
