The King of Water Margin Volume 1 Chapter 7o2: Su Taiwei pretended to die. At this time, the soldiers of the Song army, who were Su Taiwei, breathed a sigh of relief. They were extremely glad that there was a powerful Allied army like the Tang army around them, otherwise they would have suffered a great loss today. Even if they could not be completely wiped out, at least more than half would have been lost.

Someone had already gone to count the losses. In a short while, the result was reported that this sneak attack on the Tang army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, while the Song army suffered more than 8,000 casualties. In addition, many generals were injured, and even Su Taiwei was shot by Fang Qiong with an arrow. Zhang Shan, the Jiedushi who was injured on the battlefield yesterday, was also killed by Fang Qiong in the chaos army.

However, if the Taiwei Su had not risked his life to supervise the battle in front of the Song Dynasty, according to the urinary nature of the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, they would have dispersed directly after being attacked. Seeing that even Taiwei Su was on the front line and was injured, the other generals abandoned their views and fought to the death, and then they insisted on the assistance of the Tang army.

The 10,000 troops attacked by the Jin army also lost more than 7,000 people, including Yu Yulin's 5,000 troops, including one master, four deputy and five generals, and only a few hundred people escaped. Fang Qiong also lost a deputy general, and was intercepted and killed for a while while running away.

In terms of the number of people, there were more coalition forces in this battle, but the Jin army fled in panic under the good situation of occupying the territory and attacking the scene, and the generals also suffered more losses, so it can basically be considered a draw.

This battle completely defeated the pride of the Song army. The so-called strong winds reveal strong grass, and the fires show real gold. When they usually go with the flow, they feel that there is a gap between themselves and the Tang army, but after this adversity, they realize that the two sides are not at the same level at all. Their losses are nearly ten times that of the Tang army. In the end, they rely on the other party's rescue to escape. Even a arrogant person like Dong Ping doesn't speak anymore.

Su Taiwei was shot in the shoulder, but fortunately he was wearing soft golden silk armor inside, so he saved his life. He was worried that after being treated, he invited Du Jia to come over and talk.

As soon as he saw Du Jiasu, he smiled bitterly and said, "The officials are useless. No wonder they say they are a scholar. I didn't believe it at first, but now I understand that if I had the courage of His Highness, our Song army would not have lost so badly."

Du Jia didn't think so. The martial arts of an excellent general himself is of course very important, but courage is also indispensable. Although Su Taiwei is a scholar, he dares to go up to restrain his subordinates and boost morale when he knows the danger is in danger. This is an amazing move in itself. If it weren't for him, the Song army would have suffered at least twice as much loss. It can be said that Su Taiwei used him to be injured alone to at least exchange for the lives of nearly 10,000 Song army soldiers.

If this were a waste like Gao Qiu, I guess the first thing I thought about when I heard the sneak attack was that the big army would not be like that, but that he was in danger. He might have just taken his subordinates and fled in panic. He did this when he led troops to conquer Liangshan, otherwise it would be as easy as Liangshan's strength at that time to deal with tens of thousands of elite imperial guards.

Thinking of this, Du Jia hurriedly comforted Taiwei Su a few words, then looked at Taiwei Su who was lying on the bed with a frown, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and had a plan, and couldn't help but smile. Seeing his smile, Taiwei Su laughed at himself: "Your Highness, you don't have to comfort the official. Your smile has betrayed you. After all, I'm useless."

Du Jia waved his hand and said, "No, it's because I suddenly thought of a good way to avenge my previous shame. If I don't do it well, I can still take down Gaizhou Prefecture. I just might have to be wronged by Grandmaster Taiwei. I wonder if Grandmaster Taiwei is willing?"

When Su Taiwei heard this, he was excited and sat up from the hospital bed despite his shoulder pain: "Your Highness, he will say quickly. As long as he can avenge my soldiers who have been killed and injured, even if he wants to give up his life, he will be willing to do so."

Du Jia pressed him back on the bed and said, "There is no need, it's just that the Taiwei pretends to be dead for the time being. The enemy will definitely come to attack when they hear it. Then we can get things done."

Su Taiwei was also a smart man. He immediately understood what Du Jia meant and said happily: "Miao, Miao, then the Xiaguan has passed away temporarily from now on. Everything has been arranged by Your Highness."

Du Jia nodded, and then asked Wu Yong to discuss it for a few words. Wu Yong also showed joy and made arrangements immediately.

The generals of the coalition were sitting in the hall when they suddenly heard the imperial physician running in with a frown and said that the Taiwei was injured and exhausted too much blood. The generals of the Song army stood up in shock and stared at each other.

This Su Taiwei is the commander of the Song army this time, and he is also a favorite minister of Emperor Huizong. I am afraid that in His Majesty, all the soldiers who went on the expedition this time are not as important as him. Now that he is injured and dies, everyone will definitely be punished and not protected when they go back. No matter how many contributions they have made before, it will be useless, so his heart is cold.

The generals of the Tang army were also sighing. After some discussion, the Song army decided to temporarily retreat, send the "coffin" of the Grand Marshal's "subject" back to the capital, and then wait for the imperial court and the palace commander's mansion to issue a military order to see what to do next.

All the officials of the Tang army were extremely dissatisfied when they heard this. Everyone agreed that the coalition forces would come to attack Tian Hu, and they would not give up until they succeeded. Although Su Taiwei was injured and the Song army suffered a lot of casualties, the main force was still there. Could it be that they just went back by themselves? Then what if the Tang army stayed?

But what puzzled them was that Du Jiadao expressed his understanding of this matter, saying that Lord Su was an important official of the country, and his death had a great impact, and the Song army was helpless to leave. Then the Tang army was not willing to fight alone. He announced that the Tang army would retreat together, and then just defend Fenyang Mansion, and then make a long-term plan in the future.

In this way, the coalition forces fired a white banner the next day and escorted the "coffin" of Su Taiwei slowly retreated. Even the five counties they had captured before were not allowed, and retreated all the way back to Fenyang Prefecture.

However, the Song army and even some Tang army did not know that the Lingshu was just a piece of rotten wood. Su Taiwei hid in Du Jia's tent, and on the way out, the Tang army had four teams quietly left and returned to Jin under the leadership of Yue Fei, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo.

However, Niu Wenzhong was waiting for the celebration banquet that night, but he didn't expect to get news of Fang Qiong and Wu Li's defeat. He was so angry that he almost fell off the horse. Although Fang Qiong said again and again that although they were defeated, they also severely damaged the enemy. At least it was a draw, Niu Wenzhong still couldn't let it go. He went out and only came back less than 3,000 people, and even Yu Yulin, one of the confidant generals, was killed in the battle. What's the fucking draw? If Fang Qiong hadn't been his first confidant, he would have severely punished him.
