Chapter 326: The First Battle Victory

Xiao Ding and Song Yinzi led more than 30,000 troops outside Zhongzhou to Jishui County in the south of Zhongzhou to support. The army marched out on time in the morning. When Song Yinzi ordered the troops, he found that it was the other deputy marshal Gao Xuannei who did not arrive on time.

However, Xiao Ding had no intention of continuing to wait for Gao Press, and directly ordered to pull out, regardless of whether this Gao Press's inner army would catch up after it set off.

The army traveled all the way for three or four days, and finally came to the territory of Jishui County, seeing that it was about to arrive at Jishui County, Xiao Ding hurriedly sent scouts to inquire about the situation.

After all, this is already close to the war zone, and in order to prevent accidents, it is better to first find out the distribution of the enemy's and our troops.

It didn't take long for Tanma to come back and report that the county seat of Jishui had been surrounded by the troops of the king of Jiaozhou. The army of the king of Jiaozhou can have as many as 50,000 people, and the leader of the army is the eldest son of the king of Jiaozhou named Song Yinbei, and there are two generals Wu Gui and Wang Ba in assisting Song Yinbei to attack the city.

These two generals, Wu Gui and Wang Ba, were both border generals in Jiaozhou before. This time the king of Jiaozhou rebelled, and they all followed the king of Jiaozhou.

Xiao Ding then asked Tanma in detail about the specific distribution of Song Yinbei's troops and the current situation of their troops.

I heard from the scouts that Song Yinbei's 50,000 soldiers and horses originally had 70,000, because of the continuous siege of the city recently, and the commander in the city, Lu Changping, resolutely led his troops to defend to the death, so they consumed almost 20,000 soldiers and horses, so there was only 50,000 troops left.

At the same time, Xiao Ding also learned that Song Yinbei's 50,000 troops were basically infantry troops, and their equipment was not bad.

Xiao Ding thought about it, since they had been attacking the city for days, they must have been exhausted at this moment. Now that the scouts on their side can find out about each other, then the scouts on the other side will definitely be able to find out about themselves in this regard.

They must have thought that we would be very tired from traveling for days, and would never take the initiative to attack them. Therefore, Xiao Ding immediately decided to order the two brothers, Han Qi and Han Qi, to lead the 10,000 forbidden troops, equip them with Lianzhu crossbows, and then go into battle lightly and immediately go to the outside of Jishui County to rush and kill Song Yinbei's troops.

At the same time, he ordered Yang Yueling, Yang Jingtian, and Yang Jingze, two sisters and brothers, to lead 10,000 Xiang troops, as well as the commanders of the Xiang army, to secretly bypass the south of Jishui County, block the enemy's retreat and set up an ambush to intercept and kill the retreating enemy army. Then he ordered the remaining generals and the remaining 10,000 troops to guard the grain, grass, materials, ordnance and other materials brought this time. In case the enemy army sends people to attack.

The generals were ordered to go down and lead their troops to make arrangements.

Mu Wang Song Yinzi was stunned when he heard it, and said in his heart, this is going to start! This army has not yet entered the city, and it has to fight first, which is too sudden. Where could he think of Xiao Ding's thoughts.

Xiao Ding just wants to take the opportunity to take the initiative to attack and seize the opportunity, as long as the opponent's army retreats, then the victory is locked.

However, if the enemy army resists desperately, the 10,000 troops sent out by themselves may also be wiped out.

However, Xiao Ding just wanted to bet that Song Yinbei would not dare to resist desperately.

Sure enough, Han Qi and Han Qi led 10,000 forbidden troops equipped with Lianzhu crossbows to secretly approach, and when Song Yinbei's troops were not discovered, Song Yinbei's troops had not yet discovered that they were still commanding the soldiers to attack the city with all their might.

Han Qi and Han Qi had been in command of the forbidden army, so they knew the power of these crossbows, and when the two of them brought their troops within range, they immediately ordered: "Shoot the crossbow arrows!" ”

Suddenly, the sound of war drums remembered, the battle flag was held high, and countless crossbow arrows shot towards Song Yinbei's siege troops.

In just a moment, Song Yinbei's team had fallen to the ground, with countless dead and wounded.

Song Yinbei, Wu Gui, and Wang Ba were commanding the siege, but they didn't expect countless crossbow arrows to suddenly come from the rear, which surprised them. They had also heard a report from Tanma before, saying that more than 30,000 reinforcements had been sent from the direction of Zhongzhou and were rushing towards Jishui County. Today we will arrive in Jishui County.

However, Song Yinbei didn't expect that as soon as the troops on this long journey arrived, they would dare to take the initiative to start a war, which was not in line with the art of war at all!

Moreover, when he saw the attack of the other party's crossbow arrows, in just a moment, his side had already killed and injured thousands of people, what kind of weapon is this, why is it so powerful?

Then I heard the sound of war drums, and I didn't know how many people came from the other side, so I was a little timid in my heart.

But at this moment, Lu Changping, who was at the head of the city, saw that reinforcements were coming outside the city, and he also shouted: "Our reinforcements are coming, shoot arrows for me, shoot these turtle bastards!" ”

As soon as the defenders of the city saw the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was immediately high, and they drew their bows and arrows and shot at the besieging troops under the city. Song Yinbei's troops again lost thousands of soldiers.

Han Qi and Han Qi continued to order their 10,000 forbidden troops to continue to advance slowly. Song Yinbei's team suffered more and more damage, and although he also ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows and return fire, the range of his men's bows and arrows was not as far as that of Lianzhu's crossbows, and they could not reach the Han brothers' troops at all. The soldiers at the head of the city were condescending, and it was much easier than if they were shooting arrows at the top of the city.

Song Yinbei couldn't figure out the reality of the Han brothers' forbidden army for a while, and only heard the rumbling of war drums everywhere, he thought that all the 30,000 troops who came to support Zhongzhou had been killed, but seeing that he was now being attacked on both sides, he had no bottom in his heart.

At this time, Wu Gui, who was beside him, spoke: "Your Royal Highness, I see that the enemy army is menacing, so let's avoid the enemy's edge first." ”

Wang Ba also took the opportunity to speak at this time: "Now our army has suffered heavy casualties, if the opponent's 30,000 troops are all killed, our army will attack the city for many days, and it is extremely exhausting, and it is difficult to say that it is possible that the whole army will be wiped out." ”

Song Yinbei was already weak in his heart, and when he heard that the two generals all had the intention of retreating, he didn't dare to continue to resist, and hurriedly ordered: "Retreat quickly!" ”

As a result, the remaining remnants of Song Yinbei's army retreated like a tide towards the south of Jishui County.

As soon as Han Qi and Han Qi saw the enemy retreating, they ordered their forbidden troops to cover up and kill them. Knowing that their own troops would be intercepted on the road, they planned to chase them all the way to join their own troops.

As a result, as soon as Song Yinbei's tens of thousands of troops retreated, they collapsed and ran towards the south of Jishui County like a mass of scattered sand. No one wants to be left behind and become unjustly killed under the crossbow arrows.

After covering up the killing for a while, the forbidden army of the Han brothers killed and injured thousands of soldiers on the other side again.

Song Yinbei saw heavy casualties, although there was some pain, but he did not dare to delay, with the defeat of the army all the way to retreat, but when they just retreated to the south of Jishui County to the direction of Jiaozhou on the road, suddenly a cannon sounded on the side of the road, and then killed a team, the leader was a female general with a big waist and a round waist, she was wearing a golden armor, holding a soul-breaking golden gun, killing into Song Yinbei's troops, as if entering no one's land. The golden gun in his hand was waved, and everywhere he went, he was either killed or wounded.

Following the female general were two silver-armored young generals, each with a silver spear in their hands, which was also like a tiger entering a wolf pack, killing Song Yinbei's soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers.

Behind the two silver-armored generals, there were three generals, who also held their own blades and had extraordinary martial arts, only killing Song Yinbei's troops so much that they lost their armor and fled in embarrassment.

The generals who came out to intercept Song Yinbei halfway were none other than the three Yang Yueling sisters and brothers of the Yang Wangfu, as well as the three commanders of the local Xiang army. With these fierce generals taking the lead in rushing and killing, Song Yinbei's team, which was already unable to form an army, was even more slaughtered and had no ability to resist.

With Yang Yueling's 10,000 people intercepting and killing in front, Song Yinbei's large army stopped for a while. Later, the forbidden army led by the Han brothers caught up, and another crossbow shot shot from a distance.

Song Yinbei's troops suffered heavy losses again. The front and back were flanked, the morale of the army was scattered, and there were no soldiers who had no intention of resisting at all, all of them hated that the two legs given birth by their father and mother ran too slowly, and even ran so slowly, which was simply too terrible.

Indeed, those soldiers who run at the back often become the ghosts of the battlefield.

At this time, Song Yinbei's troops are in a race against life, and whoever falls behind will be killed. There were troops in front and behind, so they had to run towards the open space on both sides.

The vicinity of Jishui County is an open field. There were originally bankers on both sides of the official road, but unfortunately the war caused the peasants in the countryside to flee to the north. The dealer has long been trampled by the troops who are fighting.

As soon as the Han brothers, who were chasing behind, saw that Song Yinbei's troops began to spread to both sides, he also ordered the team to pull out horizontally and continue to fire crossbow arrows.

Yang Yueling listened to Xiao Ding's arrangement, and did not chase and kill Song Yinbei's troops to the death, and after killing Song Yinbei's team, he stopped chasing and killing. At the same time, she also saw the crossbow arrow unit of the Han brothers chasing after her. Those medium- and large-sized bead crossbows are very powerful. Yang Yuling hurriedly ordered the troops to stay away from Song Yinbei's troops, so as not to be accidentally injured by the troops on her side who fired crossbow arrows.

After this melee, Song Yinbei's troops suffered more than 30,000 casualties, plus nearly 10,000 soldiers lost under the city before, in this battle, Song Yinbei's 50,000 army is currently only seven or eight thousand people left, and they are running on the road to Jiaozhou.

Song Yinzi was almost shot by a crossbow arrow behind him in the chaos of the army. Wu Gui and Wang Ba beside him went to face Yang Yueling, but Yang Yueling stabbed Wang Ba's back buttocks with a shot, almost breaking his hip bone. Fortunately, thanks to Wu Gui's timely rescue, Wang Ba did not lose his life.

After Song Yinbei led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat, Yang Yueling sent his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils.

The Han brothers no longer continued to chase, and after greeting Yang Yueling, the two armies joined forces to clean up the battlefield together.

After this battle, because Song Yinbei's troops collapsed and no one was in love with the battle, Yang Yueling's troops only had hundreds of wounded, and there were no deaths. And the forbidden army led by the Han brothers, because they have always fired crossbow arrows from a long distance, there are no casualties.

It was a one-sided victory. Yang Yueling sent someone to return the news from the front to Song Yinzi and Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding was very happy when he heard the victory in the first battle, especially that after this battle, he wiped out 40,000 soldiers of the other side at once, and his own side did not lose a single loss, which is simply a miracle!

With such a record, I'm afraid Zhuge Liang, who was like a god back then, couldn't do it!

Xiao Ding was secretly happy, and immediately ordered the whole army to enter the city.

The defenders in the city were very happy when they saw the reinforcements coming, and took the initiative to open the city gate, and the commander Lu Changping personally went out of the city to greet them. He also saw the scene of the defeat of Song Yinbei's troops in the city, and he was even more ecstatic. Ordered his subordinates to beat gongs and drums to welcome reinforcements into the city.

Xiao Ding rode on a horse and walked in the procession into the city, but he was thinking in his heart that after this battle, the king of Jiaozhou would definitely not give up and would definitely send troops to retaliate again, so how should he use troops next?
