1572. won Jingzhao
The city government office.
At this time, Bing Wenxuan and the officials had no surprises and became ants on the hot pan.
As the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty became closer and closer to this government office, their situation became increasingly precarious.
It was more than 500 meters away, and it was impossible to tell when the Song army would be able to reach the government office.
Some officials have mentioned to Bing Wenxuan several times whether he is leaving Jingzhao Mansion, but because Bing Wenxuan is unwilling to accept it, he has not taken action for a long time.
And now, it seems that it is the last moment.
A soldier hurried into the hall and reported, "Mr. Censor, the Song army has stopped attacking for the time being! It is resting!"
Everyone in the hall listened, but no one could breathe a sigh of relief.
After the soldiers went down, some officials said anxiously: "Mr. Censor, this Jingzhao Mansion cannot be defended. After the Song army rested, they will definitely launch a fierce attack again. They will not give up until they enter the government office. Let's go quickly!"
Bing Wenxuan's two eyebrows were almost twisted together.
He understood what the official said.
Judging from the current situation in the city, it is impossible for them to stick to the reinforcements of Chai Liren to come.
In fact, even Bing Wenxuan himself had the idea of leaving Jingzhao Mansion several times, but because he was unwilling to give up, he sat back on the chair.
He slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, he opened it again, and finally abandoned his expectations and said, "Send the order and let the soldiers prepare to retreat!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
The officials in the hall also hurried out.
Their luggage at home had already been loaded with the car, so they were waiting for Bing Wenxuan to order to retreat. At this time, they could not wait to go home and take their families away.
Just a few moments later, in the center of Jingzhao Prefecture, many carriages appeared on the streets.
There are also many carriages going out through the back door of the government office.
And these did not hide the eyes of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty's special forces regiments who were surveillance with telescopes on the roofs of the house.
A scout rushed to Liu Zhuwen and reported: "Shuai Liu, there are many carriages in front of him. The officials in the city should be planning to leave Jingzhao Mansion."
This is an unnecessary effort, although the Yuan army at the frontier positions had no movement at this time.
Before Bing Wenxuan and his men retreated from Jingzhao Mansion, it was unlikely that they would all be able to withdraw all the Yuan troops. Because they would be removed, no one would cut off their rear for them.
Liu Zhuwen nodded slightly, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I understand, keep going and investigate!"
"yes!"
The scout left.
Liu Zhuwen's eyes swept around and saw that the soldiers had already eaten dry food at this time, and slowly pulled out his sword from his waist.
He didn't mind Bing Wenxuan running out of the city, but this did not mean that he had to deliberately let Bing Wenxuan out of the city.
By now, his goal has been achieved.
If the Yuan officials in the city escape, their morale will inevitably fall again. It is definitely much easier for him to destroy the remaining Yuan troops than before.
In fact, at this time, even the Yuan army in the frontier positions had already received the order from Bing Wenxuan to prepare for retreat.
Sometimes, as long as the idea of retreat arises, the courage will disappear. No one wants to continue fighting bloody battles with the soldiers of the Song Dynasty here.
"kill!"
When Liu Zhuwen's shouts of killing suddenly sounded, the Yuan army in the position could not help but change their color.
However, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty Special Forces Plumbing up again like wolves and tigers.
The Yuan army was in a panic, some attacked and some retreated.
They really no longer resisted as stubbornly as before. Because Bing Wenxuan ordered a retreat, they might still have a chance to leave the city alive.
Soon afterwards, there were also gunfire sounds on the street next to it.
The smoke of gunpowder filled Jingzhao Mansion again.
This time, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty only took about two quarters of an hour to get a distance of more than 500 meters.
The Yuan army left countless wounded and disabled people.
They retreated along the streets towards the north gate of Jingzhao Prefecture, and fought and retreated.
Under the order of Liu Zhuwen, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty did not enter the government office, but just chased them from behind.
Due to Liu Zhuwen's plan, the Yuan army of Jingzhao Prefecture completely lost the general trend. They had no chance to stand firm.
Nearly two hours passed, and the Yuan army completely retreated from Jingzhao Prefecture.
Most of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty left the city and drove them out of the city for more than ten miles. They returned to Jingzhao Mansion at dusk.
Numerous corpses of the Yuan army were left on the official road.
Some officials who ran slowly were left behind and all their belongings were captured.
The more than 80,000 Yuan army in the entire Jingzhao Prefecture has been able to successfully escape from the sky. There are only two or three thousand people who have fled with Bing Wenxuan and his group.
Although Bing Wenxuan ran away, Jingzhao Mansion was gone.
When Liu Zhuwen led his army back to Jingzhao Prefecture, most of the scattered Yuan troops in the city had been arrested.
There was no movement of guns in the city.
It's just that it's still full of devastation.
There were still some houses burning, and there were still many corpses on the streets, and the wounded soldiers were not carried down.
Military flags, weapons and other things are everywhere.
Liu Zhuwen followed the north city gate to the government office and saw the situation everywhere along the way.
After arriving at the government office, he ordered: "I ordered the entire army to make meals and rest immediately, and then gather the prisoners in the city and the wounded soldiers! Pile the bodies and burn them all!"
The Yuan army was in a hurry to leave the city, so naturally there was still a lot of food left in the city.
All night, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were shaking everywhere in Jingzhao Mansion, and they didn't stop.
Whether it was the Yuan army or the Song army's wounded soldiers, they were temporarily carried to temporary medical centers for treatment. The wounded soldiers alone were covered with two streets, and they were afraid that there would be nearly 20,000 people.
The bodies were piled up and burned in the open space in the city.
Some soldiers pulled off the waist cards from the Song Dynasty's bodies.
There are also soldiers from the Military Logistics Department who set up small desks not far away to register.
The Song Dynasty was not the Yuan Dynasty, and the soldiers who fell into battle were all martyrs, and the court would not ignore them.
Record their names and their families will be martyrs' families. The court has policy pensions for these martyrs' families every year.
At the same time, soldiers shouted along the streets, calling on the people in the city to go to Languan or other cities to take refuge temporarily.
There were many people in the city who had completely lost their expectations for the Yuan Dynasty and left the city overnight.
By dawn, all casualties of the various troops in the Song Dynasty were presented to Liu Zhuwen.
In fact, Liu Zhuwen slept in the government office for less than two hours and was always arranging things, but his eyes were still covered in blood at this moment.
Although the battle of Jingzhao Prefecture destroyed 80,000 troops, the losses of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were indeed quite large.
The 50,000 soldiers he led had a total of 30,000 casualties. Even the special regiments of each army suffered considerable losses.
Nearly ten generals at the throne level were killed.
This is not something that can be compensated by capturing such as weapons, armor, war horses, etc.
However, Liu Zhuwen had long expected this to be a tough battle, so he was mentally prepared. After reading the casualty report, although he was sad, he could still calm his mind.
He sent orders to ask the soldiers to carry the grain out of the city as much as possible, and the remaining ones were opened to store grain and distributed all the grain in the city to the people. At the same time, many military and public facilities such as government offices, military camps, and granaries were burned down.
Du Yu Hou Pu Hongzhen had some objections to his order to open the warehouse and release grain, and said, "Liu Shuai, if he opened the warehouse and released the grain, wouldn't it be equivalent to leaving the grain to those Yuan troops?"
Liu Zhuwen said only: "If Chai Liren dares to entrust troops to grab grain, he will lose the people's hearts and may not be unhealthy for us."
In fact, he had no choice.
With the troops under his current command, it was already quite difficult to transport the wounded soldiers, prisoners, captured weapons, etc. in the city, and it was impossible to take all the food out. Although he still had tens of thousands of war horses outside the city.
No one knows when the Chai Liren's vanguard army will arrive. If the war horses carry too much weight and are caught up by the Yuan army, it will definitely be a huge trouble.
Pu Hongzhen didn't say anything after hearing this.
It would be a pity if the food and grass that could not be taken away were burned on the spot.
All day long, countless people and soldiers left the city.
The people left with their families.
The soldiers kept transporting things from the city outside and loading them on the war horses.
They should try their best to leave only an empty city for the Yuan army.
At about evening, Liu Zhuwen led his army to leave Jingzhao Mansion and headed towards Languan.
When he came, the 50,000 light riders were as powerful as the rainbow, but when he left, he was not as relaxed as before.
Chapter completed!
