There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 572
"How could we lose?"

Chen Zhihuan growled: "Who will tell me what happened?"

He ran like crazy to the city wall of Yanjing. At a glance, the city was full of soldiers of the Song Dynasty who were being chased and defeated by the Jin soldiers. The pace of the Jin soldiers had almost reached the walls of Yanjing. Now they were blocked by the gate. A large number of soldiers from the Song Dynasty were blocked outside the three city gates, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, some soldiers of the Song Dynasty gritted their teeth and turned around to fight back with the Jin men. As a result, they lacked command and cooperation, and their hearts were not in harmony. After beheading a few Jin men, they were overwhelmed by the Jin soldiers.

"Fire the arrow, fire the arrow."

Seeing that the golden man was about to rush to the edge of the city, Chen Zhihuan couldn't control so much, he kept calling the defenders on the top of the city to release arrows.

"Can't shoot arrows, can't shoot."

Several lieutenants turned pale with shock when they heard Chen Zhihuan's words, and quickly dissuaded them: "My lord, this city is full of soldiers from our Great Song Dynasty, and the Jin people have not yet entered the hundred-step range. All of them are soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty."

Chen Zhihuan was stunned.

"Then what do you think we should do? If this continues, this golden man will definitely rush in." Chen Zhihuan was already like a headless fly scurrying around. When he saw the city gate under his feet, he thought of something in surprise. As if shouting again: "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly, you said that the Jin people are not good at attacking the city. As long as we resist the city and the gold defenders will not be able to attack it."

The lieutenant smiled wryly and said, "My lord, the army is still outside the city, and the entire city gate is blocked by soldiers. How can we close the city gate?"

"I don't care, the city gate must be closed, otherwise we will all die."

The deputy general said helplessly again: "My lord, the current situation is not something we can close if we want to. The problem is that the gates of the city are blocked by the army and cannot be closed at all. If we forcefully close the gates, I'm afraid that the soldiers won't agree at that time, and if they don't do it well, it will cause mutiny in the army, let alone closing the city gate, let alone repelling the golden men, I'm afraid that these mutinous soldiers will be the first to arrest them. We tore it up."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Chen Zhihuan's eyes turned red anxiously.

When the deputy general explained to Chen Zhihuan, he also felt pain in his heart.

Who do you think is to blame for this situation?You should be a good envoy. When the Jin people come to attack, you will not refuse to succeed and defend. If you insist on pulling outside the city to confront the Jin people, let this confrontation be a confrontation. After all, when the army attacked Yanyun, everyone knew the combat power. Yes, the Liao people can be beaten to the ground, and the Jin people are similar. In short, there is still a lot of chances of winning if they go head-to-head.

But, but, you are so frightened of death.

You are obviously afraid of death, but you have to pretend to go to the front line and run to the forefront. Do you think you are a general who charges into battle?
I thought that Chen Zhihuan was full of courage when he ran to the front line. At first, the lieutenant admired Chen Zhihuan. After all, Chen Zhihuan was just a civil servant. A civil servant who has the courage to face thousands of troops on the battlefield is worth it. Everyone is respecting.

This is also the reason why they were so obedient when Chen Zhihuan ordered them at the beginning.

but……

But no one would have thought that this thing would turn out like this. It was just two defeats, and the golden man launched an attack. In the end, this guy slapped his legs and ran away, running back without saying a word, you want to run back Just run away, after all you are the coach.

But, you frankly at least give us an order.

They didn't keep a single order. Chen Zhihuan dismissed the commanders who were in charge of the army's operations for other reasons. They were very grateful to them for being promoted, but the gratitude belongs to gratitude. The overall situation is the most important thing in all of this.

You ran away without leaving an order, that’s not counting, just run away, and kept crying and howling to retreat, with such a loud voice, your withdrawal caused the entire army to withdraw, and the entire army Dazed, everyone is waiting for you to give an order to attack, but all you see is you running back crazily, yelling crazily to retreat.

Retreat and retreat, the soldiers obeyed the commander's orders, you shouted to retreat, what about the soldiers?
This one is not good, which has caused the current predicament.

Now that the retreat of the army has turned into a big rout, this incident is completely absurd by you, Chen Zhihuan, and that's not counting, you still have to protect yourself and shoot your own people with arrows, and you have to forcefully close the gates of the city Everyone locked up outside the city?

Mutiny, they can not afford this responsibility.

Now, you come to ask me what to do?
What else can I do?
The lieutenant general felt a pain in his heart. If he had known it earlier, he would have quietly reasoned with this guy when he was retreating, so that he wouldn't attack him now.

"My lord, why don't we withdraw."

This is another lieutenant general promoted by Chen Zhihuan who said in a thousand words: "Now the situation is like this, the army has been defeated, and the Jin people are chasing after them. This group of people can stop them for now, but if once the Jin people break through the city, None of us will be able to escape, so it is better to retreat to Zhuozhou as early as possible before the Jin people attack."

"Withdraw to Zhuozhou? How?" Chen Zhihuan asked.

The man said: "My lord, the east, west and north gates of Yanjing are currently blocked by the army from entering the city, only the south gate, and only a few soldiers have entered the city through the south gate. We must hurry up and enter through the south gate. Go out, retreat to Zhuozhou, and then wait for the reinforcements from the imperial court, and then slowly plan it."

Chen Zhihuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and quickly agreed: "Okay, as you say."

After finishing speaking, Chen Zhihuan was the first to run down the gate tower and down the stairs.

"Horse, quickly prepare a horse for this scripture!"

This Chen Zhihuan was not stupid, he also knew that he couldn't outrun the golden cavalry with his legs, so he immediately asked the lieutenant next to him for horses, and a lieutenant immediately came with a few horses.

The lieutenant general who was suffering before couldn't help but asked: "My lord, if we withdraw, what about Yanjing City? What about the [-] troops outside Yanjing City?"

Chen Zhihuan was stunned.

The lieutenant general who proposed to retreat to Zhuozhou immediately became angry, kicked him, and cursed: "Are you stupid? How can there be [-] troops? They have all been defeated like this, and the Jin people have all come to the door!" , They are all surrounded by Jin people, they will die sooner or later, if you don’t leave, just wait to die with them in the city.”

"My lord, the matter has not come to this point. As long as the soldiers and horses are reorganized, this city of Yanjing can still be defended."

"Are you going or not!"

"I won't go, you go, I am determined to live and die with Yanjing City."
