222: Battle of Weiqiao

A tactical retreat is three points more difficult than a charge.

After the Song army received the news of the strategic transfer of the official family, several main generals invariably launched a desperate charge first.

There is a simple analogy for this truth, if you are usually targeted by the fierce Erha, what will you do? Turning around and running will obviously only stimulate its ferocity, at this time, there are generally only two options, one is to step back and slowly open the distance, and the other is to pick up the stick and intimidate it first, and then you have the opportunity to leave calmly.

The Qin army is the hunting hound, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, the enemy attacks and defends, and the enemy retreats and follows.

After a short break in the war, there was immediately a bastard holding an iron tube who climbed up to the high lookout car and began to shout, talking about not the great truth of the family and the country, just use his brains on food, clothing and income, sunning silver, food, drying cotton clothes, all kinds of slipping mouth to come, one sentence summary: surrender has a future, I don't want to be a soldier and work, there are economic development zones everywhere in Qinjing, and the wife and children are hot on the kang, and you are beautiful.

This kind of shouting, in fact, there were a few days ago, and there were even leaflets tied to the giant crossbow arrows, which were extremely depicted to lure the Song army to turn against the water, although there was military discipline control, the magic knife was calm, and there were few people who really made trouble or sneaked out to surrender, but the anger was still planted in the hearts of the soldiers.

Why, eat the same military rations, people eat meat, we gnaw pickles, people wear new warm cotton clothes, the northwest wind blows and sweats, but we shiver in the sun.

Why!

As soon as these two words were asked, many leading generals and colonels who were harmed did not dare to eat meat, and followed the big-headed soldiers to stir food in a pot.

The general attack before the retreat was still decent at first, and under the spirit of the desire to return to the hometown, no matter how strong the Qin army was, it had to temporarily avoid the edge, and Zhao Wenliang's troops were even forced to retreat to the camp, relying on wooden walls and trenches and other fortifications to barely hold their positions.

However, at noon, this anger was discharged, and the stomach was hungry, but the rear army was busy withdrawing from the camp, and how could they have time to prepare lunch, and if they were lucky, they were divided into two hard dry cakes like stones, and if they were lucky, they could still grab a handful of wheat and chew it raw, and if they were unlucky, they had nothing.

In the Qin army's array, there was a smell of meat, and it was just a matter of roasting meat, but all kinds of spices were sprinkled as if they didn't want money, but it was the northwest wind blowing, and the Song army was in the southeast downwind outlet, the tempting fragrance, drilled into the nostrils, the stomach was even hungrier, and the anger in the heart was greater.

Han Chongyun didn't see it well, and ordered the three armies to speed up the retreat, and his troops hurriedly retreated to the outside of Xianyang City.

The enemy forces took control of the Xiwei Bridge, and the Zhongwei Bridgehead was fighting hard.

Although Wang Quanbin was dismissed for his official position in the previous defeat, it was only an official status, and his prestige and ability in the army were still much higher than Han Chongyun's. ”

Han Chongyun came to his senses at this time, waved his hand, and led the elite of the headquarters to Zhongwei Bridge.

At that time, there are three bridges of flying Weishui, namely West Wei, Zhongwei and East Wei three bridges, among them, the West Wei Bridge leads directly to Xianyang, it is the nearest bridge from Chang'an to Xianyang, also called Xianyang Bridge, the alliance between Li Shimin and the Turks under the city was carried out here.

Now this bridge is occupied by the Qin army on the south bank, so the Zhongwei Bridge ten miles downstream is the most important lifeline, because the Dongwei Bridge is still downstream, but it can only be reached by flowing through Jingshui.

Zhongwei Bridge must not be lost.

You can hear the shouting and killing on the other side of the river, but the flag is dusty, but the specific situation is not clear, Han Chongyun's anxious throat smoked, hurried to the bridge, saw that the bridge was crowded with his own army, he couldn't help but be angry, and shouted angrily: "Rush ...... Rush over...... This bridge is about the lives of 100,000 robes, and you ...... bravely."

After shouting, he ordered: "The knife and axe hand is in formation, step by step, and the knife is merciless." ”

"No."

Zhongwei Bridge is a covered bridge, the bridge is six zhang wide, 380 steps from north to south, a total of 68 rooms, 750 columns, 122 beams, is a famous civil engineering project recorded in the history books, is the pride of the people in Guanzhong.

Such a bridge, even if the desire for victory again, the Qin army did not dare to throw out the powder jar, and the bridge is on the riverside, it is a Qitou road, the horsemen can not arbitrarily vertical and horizontal, Jiayin and Li Danqi are all horsemen, very brave can only use six points of strength, this battle is not aggrieved.

Han Chongyun personally commanded the formation, and under the coercion of one hundred and ten sword and axe men, the Song army on the bridge rushed forward with shouting, but this rush was a successful recapture of the two crossbow trenches covering the wall.

Jia Yin was very angry in his heart, but he had to accept the fact that the horsepower was exhausted, and discussed with Li Danqi slightly, retreated two arrows, and rested the horse.

There were already scouts who reported to Chang'an City, Li Jixun stroked his knife and smiled: "Lao Tzu is in this city, you should wait for a certain air, bah, sons, let the bastards who rebel against Qin see the blood and courage of my Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, go out of the city with a certain person, and kill ......"

"Kill ......"

There are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, Jia Yin knows, and he really doesn't take these 3,000 soldiers and horses to heart, you know, he and Li Danqi are close to 5,000 cavalry, even 10,000 infantry are not afraid, but I didn't expect that Li Jixun's vision is poisonous enough, and the time is accurate enough.

At this time, Han Chongyun also crossed the bridge, and saw that there was a levy in the direction of Chang'an, and immediately knew that the guards in the city were dispatched, and immediately raised his sword and roared: "Brothers, Chang'an Pao Ze has come to help, and if you work hard, you will completely open up this lifeline......

The Qin army could only retreat first, watching the enemy's two divisions meet victoriously, and quickly formed a formation to defend, Jia Yin was anxious like an ant on a hot nest, and knew with his ass that as soon as the bridge was passed, immediately, the army on the other side would withdraw like a tide, and it would be too late to block it again.

I was anxious, and suddenly heard the sound of thunder in the west, and the flag fluttered in the wind with the word "Yang".

However, it was Yang Yebu who led his troops to come to the aid after locking the Xiwei Bridge, Jiayin was overjoyed, and hurriedly rode his horse with Li Danqi to meet him, "General Yang, I will charge the battle with a lance and arrow, your department will block and intercept, and General Li will outflank him in a circle." ”

"Your horsepower is lacking, and there is a certain attack on the fortification, and the two generals should respond to the left and right."

"It's okay, there's work."

With 2,000 infantry to help, this spirit immediately returned, and the three generals discussed slightly, decided on the main attack point and strategy, waved the banner, and the three men and horses formed a formation, and then killed the bridgehead.

In order to save horsepower, the cavalry all walked on foot, and the Yang Yebu in the middle held high the big oar, shouted the trumpet, step by step, and acted first.

The Song army had also set up a position, but Li Jixun sent a thousand fresh troops in front, and the tired army of Han Chongyun's department was behind, fifty steps away from the bridgehead, relying on simple fortifications to hold on.

The two armies were one hundred and fifty paces apart, and sporadic crossbows were raised, and at a hundred paces, the arrows were as urgent as locusts, and in the midst of the screams, there were gunpowder canisters volleying into the air.

The thunder exploded suddenly, but it was the explosion of the gunpowder canister and the sound of horses' hooves at the same time, "Rush, ......"

The infantry charged first, but the first to meet the enemy was the Jiayin Division, which was obliquely cut the left flank of the enemy formation, and a hundred crossbowmen hit the three crossbows first, and then stabbed obliquely to let the lance behind the horse, Jiayin took the lead, the left flower spear, the right Zhao Lei, the lance trembled, led the lance to plow the ground like an iron ox, chiseled and cut a large gap.

This charge, the danger is not to engage the enemy to fight, because the enemy refuses to set up the horse spear on the right flank according to the custom, this place is closest to the bridge, and there are fortifications and ditches, the horse is difficult to stop, and if it is not good, it will rush into the river, and the Jiayin art master is bold, but he only led three hundred lance cavalry to rush over, in the scream, the lance cavalry chiseled out of the formation, most of them were dangerous and dangerous on the river embankment and turned out, but there were still many cavalry, unable to control the mount, straight into the surging Weishui.

However, such sacrifices are inevitable, and they are worth it.

Because although there were only 300 horsemen attacking the west and the west, this turn had already reached the rear of the enemy, and the enemy's flag fluttering in the wind was right in front of him.

"Rush up, intercept, intercept ......"

How could Jia Yin be entangled with the enemy, listening to the shouting and killing sound of Zhentiansuke coming from the big array, he roared, grabbed the horse's belly hard, and began to circle with the enemy troops who surrounded him.

Zhao Lei doesn't have such a good attitude as Jiayin, every heavy breath of the horse makes him feel distressed, and he can't wait to get off the horse and fight.

"Left."

Hearing Jia Yin's shouting, Zhao Lei subconsciously took the reins, ran out of the place of a stone's throw and came to his senses, and rushed to the original place again?

Sure enough, Jia Yin had already shouted "five...... Four...... Three ......"

The war horses roared, the iron lance was flat, and in the sound of rumbling hooves, the Xuanjia lance cavalry once again rushed into the left formation of the helpless Song army, and ploughed out a bloody road.

Inch long and inch strong, lance riding king.

It's a pity that after rushing out this time, there is no power to return to the horse, and Jia Yin led the remaining less than 200 lances to rest his horse a mile away, but he was silently praying in his heart.

In the big array, Yang Ye had already flown on the war horse, because the enemy formation was in chaos. Its infantry faced the enemy head-on, which was the most difficult, but the left flank was chiseled back and forth by Jia Yin, and the right flank was disorganized under the harassment of Li Danqi's troops.

Yang Ye raised his long knife, and Shi Heyun and Zhang Yanke, who had been on standby behind the infantry formation, burst out in unison and led the cavalry who had rested enough horsepower to launch a deadly charge.

"Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

The Song army was in the rear, looking at the car, Li Jixun grabbed Han Chongyun, who was going to rush to kill: "Ninth brother, for the general, you should not move like a mountain, rush to kill, come for your brother." ”

"Big brother!"

Li Jixun, who flew and jumped on horseback, laughed, raised the sword in his hand, and the thousands of fresh troops of the general reserve shouted to protect him and rushed towards the big array.

Surging forward.

At this time of the war, in fact, the outcome is still unpredictable, the Qin army is tired, even if Yang Yebu only has an hour's rest after capturing the Xiwei Bridge, and then hurried to reinforce it, but the Qin army wins in the horse soldiers, and on the premise of not remembering the loss, there is a winning rate, but no one is willing to take it so hard.

And the Song army Han Chongyun is also a tired soldier who came to reinforce after the war, only Li Jixun's department is full of fresh troops, and after the two departments are combined, the number is far more than the Qin army, so after this thousand troops joined the killing array, the battle situation in the middle of the battle immediately changed, and the infantry of Yang Yesuo's department could not be suppressed, so they had to start retreating.

This annoyed Shi Heyun, who was originally a martial arts madman, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, and Jiayin's sword competition was the same as the end of the move, and when he became the commander of the army, he would lose the troops to the deputy, and he ran out to follow Jia Yin to play thousands of miles of dead bastards, and when he saw that the victory was about to arrive, he didn't care how precious the horse team was, and he saw Li Jixun arrogantly forcing the flag forward from afar, and the tiger roared: "Up, all to a certain Shang, help a certain general......

The Great Qin military system, but there is no guest general to say, besides, this is the most desperate brother of the general, all the horsemen heard the general's order, shouted violently, clamped the belly of the horse, and rushed to the enemy without hesitation.

Yang Ye is not far away, he can see clearly, he is anxious and angry, but he has nothing to do at the moment, he can only dance the big knife, lead his troops to kill bravely, and "press on...... Press on ......"

Li Jixun saw that the enemy rode under the leadership of a bloodied general, and did not dare to meet the enemy head-on.

"Yang Ye is here ......"

A knife fell, and a great head flew up.
