Chapter 478 of the text volume of the Song Dynasty Guan Zheng, Mingyue, Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty sent a hundred people to ride a raft and sneak across the river to test.

When approaching the shore, the inspected Shu army scouts found that they sent out a signal arrow, and the torch lighted up. All the people rushed to shoot arrows and intercepted the Song army's landing.

Fortunately, the Song army sent few people, and they just wanted to test and did not intend to launch an attack. Otherwise, this Shu army squad, which was built in one place, would easily be swallowed up and torn into pieces.

The Shu army was a little panicked and worried that the Song army would attack at night, so they beat drums and drums to send signals, causing all the upstream coastlines to be alerted and keep shooting arrows into the river.

Seeing that the Song army's 100-man team was not good, they withdrew in time and brought the news back.

Wang Renzhan, Wang Quanbin and others exchanged views when they heard the reports of these dead soldiers after their return.

"It seems that the Shu army has been on guard for a long time, and there are ambushes on the river bank. There may not be no spies in our army; in addition, it is also possible that the Shu army has made arrangements long ago. In short, no matter what the reason, it is not advisable to continue using troops here."

Wang Quanbin nodded reluctantly and admitted the failure of the troops sent: "Yes. This long-distance strategy cannot be implemented, so he can only withdraw temporarily."

"After this loss, we suggest that General Wang write a memorial to the official and apply to continue to mobilize troops. Otherwise, with more than 20,000 troops left, it will be too difficult to attack Jiameng Pass." Wang Renzhan made this suggestion.

Wang Quanbin sighed: "It makes sense. Let the rear increase its troops, mobilize troops from all over the country, pile up the number of people, and fight with Shu again."

After 30,000 troops, after this defeat and the losses of the siege, it is estimated that only two-thirds of them will remain.

It is somewhat unrealistic to kill 20,000 people from the north to Shu to destroy a country.

If it goes smoothly as it started, Wang Quanbin will still have confidence.

But since he fought with the second prince of Shu, he found that the other party knew how to lead troops and there were talented people around him to give advice. At this time, 20,000 troops seemed weak.

After thinking about it, Wang Renzhan suggested: "Before going back, we can join forces with General Cui, and then take down Xiaomantianzhai and wipe out the Shu army there, which can be considered revenge."

Wang Quanbin stroked his beard and nodded, "It's great, it can also exude depression!"

After the two discussed, they made a quick decision and issued an order to withdraw troops at night. When the sky was dawn, they retreated directly. However, they had to rush to Xiaomantiancheng Pass, a fortress deep in the north bank that communicated with Hanzhong.

The next morning, it was dim.

The Song army began to withdraw, in an orderly manner, demonstrating the comprehensive quality of the elite army.

When the Shu army found that there was no food in the Song army camp, they reported the abnormality to the Second Highness.

Meng Xuanyu, Su Chen and others stood on the high tower next to the gate and looked at the opposite shore.

Su Chen took out his homemade monoculars and found that the Song Jun camp was empty. Except for the front tent, the rear had been removed.

"The Song army retreated."

When Meng Xuanyu heard the news, she was surprised: "Show me!"

He took the telescope from Su Chen and watched the Song army camp on the other side of the river. Sure enough, he saw the abnormality inside, quiet and quiet, no soldiers standing guard, patrol walking, and no noise of training.

"We really retreated. We successfully blocked the Song army and won again!"

Meng Xuanyu said with a smile, she was in a good mood.

This time, the Song army was repelled and nearly 4,000 Song army were wiped out, which was a huge blow to the Song army, because the four thousand elite soldiers all came from the imperial army of the Song State.

According to historical records, the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty was divided by the command commander of the cavalry and infantry commander of the guards, and together with the commander of the palace in front of the palace, the commander of the cavalry and military commander of the guards, the commander of the cavalry and military commander of the guards, were collectively known as the three yamen, which was in charge of the national imperial guards and was also the general wing soldiers.

The troops who mobilized to destroy Shu this time all came from the imperial guards who fought south and north in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and were affiliated to the infantry and cavalry army of the guards and the front army of the palace. They combined them with strong combat capabilities.

After attacking Shu, about 10,000 people were lost, which was a huge loss.

"Brother Chen, are we going to withdraw our troops and rush back to Jiameng Pass?"

After thinking, Su Chen nodded slightly and suggested: "Well, you must withdraw your troops and go back to guard Jiameng Pass strictly. However, a man must be left here, even a battalion. Once a change occurs, immediately send someone to inform the defenders of Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass to be prepared. I am worried that the Song army will kill and continue to beat this shortcut at that time."

"I guess the number of Song's troops has decreased, so will they continue to send reinforcements?"

"With this possibility, they can mobilize troops from Hanzhong, Chencang, northwest, and Qinchuan to fight a protracted war with us. At that time, we will consider whether your Shu army's patience can be consumed..."

"Our Shu Kingdom is rich in financial resources, no less than that of Song Kingdom. If we only compete for economic and wealth, it will not be a problem to confront each other for ten years. However, the Song army traveled a long distance and had difficulty in supplying, so we would definitely not confront us for a long time. If we cannot swallow Shu Kingdom in one or two years, we may give up."

The second prince Meng Xuanyu thought optimistically.

Su Chen smiled when he heard this, and he was a little unable to see through history now.

Because the direction is changing, no one knows whether Zhao Kuangyin will continue to increase his troops or make plans for the long term when he learns the news of the unfavorable destruction of Shu.

Just like the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin grew up two or three times during his reign, but he never ate it until Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne and used a lot of troops to attack the Northern Han Dynasty, which had only one city left, and finally exhausted the Northern Han Dynasty and destroyed it with difficulty.

Su Chen didn't know whether Shu Kingdom would be confident and dare to fight the Song army after he saved his life this time.

The Shu army in history was taken down by the Song army in 66 days. The 140,000 Shu army were all unarmed and did not resist at all. They were so scared that they retreated all the way.
