After being defeated by Yelu Dashi, although he was holding his breath in his heart, but because he did suffer a big defeat because of his own, Yang Keshi did not say a word to the cynicism of the people around him, and did not make any rebuttals, he just meticulously carried out the order issued by the Xuanfu Division, that is, he honestly carried out the task of recruiting surrender and rebellion.

On the day he took office, Yang Keshi sent his general Zhao Ming to lead his troops to the bank of the Baigou River, and then planted the yellow list banner used for recruitment on the riverbank.

The next day, the Liao army also came to Baigou and Bai to confront the Song army across the river.

And the commander of the Liao army on the other side of the river is still Yelu Dashi.

After Langoudian defeated Yang Keshi and showed his own ability, Yeluchun added 30,000 troops to Yelu Dashi and ordered him to lead his army to garrison Baigou River.

There is a bridge on the Baigou River, the southern end of the bridge is controlled by the Song army, and the northern end of the bridge is controlled by the Liao army.

The two sides confronted each other across the bridge.

On this day, Zhao Ming may have been on a whim, and he actually sent someone to insert the big flag that had been planted on the river bank to the center of the bridge.

The big flag fluttered in the wind, the hunting sounded, and the soldiers of the Liao army saw it very dazzlingly.

Zhao Ming organized soldiers to shout to Qiaobei as before, asking the Liao army to come and surrender.

Suddenly!

A Liao soldier ran to the middle of the bridge and took the Huangbang Banner, and then went back and handed it to Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi took the yellow flag and looked at it, then tore it up and threw it on the ground, scolding: "There is nothing to say, there is just death!" Then he ordered the Liao army to attack.

The soldiers of the Liao army also hated the Song army who took advantage of the fire to rob the bones, especially when they were defeated by the Jurchens and defeated the Song army again and again!

Almost every soldier of the Liao army was thinking: "If we can't beat the Jurchens, can't we beat you despicable Song people?" ”

Therefore, after receiving the order of Yelu Dashi, the Liao soldiers immediately tried their best to shoot at the Song army, and the result was a rain of arrows.

The Song army was defenseless and suffered numerous casualties.

Because of the order of the Xuanfu Division, Zhao Ming did not dare to order a counterattack.

Seeing that the Song army did not fight back, Yelu Dashi gathered his team and planned to launch an assault on the river bridge.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming hurriedly sent someone to gallop and fly to report to the breeder.

The seed master Dao decisively ordered: "Once the blade is connected, An Neng will die if he is tied?" If the Liao army crosses the border, it will immediately return fire and defeat meritorious. ”

He Shu hurriedly stopped: "No! The official decree and the instructions of Master Tong, have you forgotten the old general? ”

The generals said indignantly: "Can you get Yanjing without fighting back? "If the soldiers can recover Yanjing without bloodshed, then why mobilize the army? "He Zhizhou is willing to sit and accept his reward, my generation has no such cheeks! ”……

Among them, Yang Keshi is the most, he has long been fed up with this order that he can't fight back, so he got up angrily and said, "If you don't fight, why did my generation come?" ”

It turns out -

During this period of confrontation, the Liao army could wantonly kill the soldiers of the Song army, but the Song army was unable to fight back because of the military order, so that the whole army was holding back a fire of resignation.

As the commander-in-chief of the front line, he deeply experienced this kind of humiliation, and besides, the Liao army was about to cross the river, so he couldn't stand still?

Therefore, the seed master ignored He's words and sent Yang Keshi to wait for the opportunity to fight.

Yang Keshi soon led his headquarters to the Baigou River.

As soon as he arrived, Yang Keshi divided half of his troops and horses to Zhao Ming, and asked him to command his soldiers to guard the bridge and beware of the Liao army rushing over.

Suddenly!

Yang Keshi found that an officer of the Liao army on the north bank of the river was waving his flag and commanding, and the cavalry of the Liao army was heading west.

Yang Keshi said to his generals: "There must be a place to wade in the upper reaches of the river, and troops must be divided to fight them!" ”

At this time, the seed master Dao sent Zhao De, a veteran of Jingyuan, to lead the army to reinforcements.

When Yang Keshi saw this, he shouted to Zhao De: "Hurry up and go west!" There may be a Liao army crossing the river to the west! ”

Before Zhao De could go, the Liao army had already crossed the river from the upper reaches and galloped over.

The Liao army that crossed the river, although the number was small, was violent.

When Zhao De saw this, he wanted to avoid his edge.

Seeing this, Yang Keshi scolded: "Old horseman, Ande escaped? How can you repay the kindness of the country! ”

Yang Keshi rode away from the river bridge and personally faced the enemy from the west.

The Liao army took the opportunity to rush across the Baigou River Bridge, divided the left and right wings with the Liao army coming from the west, and surrounded the Song army.

Yang Keshi's department held back a fire, and fought with the Liao army to the death, Yang Keshi even rushed to the opposite bank for a time, and almost had a king against a king with Yelu Dashi.

Pity!

The Liao army is also holding back, and it is also not afraid of death, the key is that there are more men and horses than the Song army.

The two sides fought a bloody battle on both sides of the Baigou River.

After fighting for nearly an hour, Zhao Ming was hit by an arrow in his arm, and Yang Keshi was even more in his body with an iron thistle arrow, which injured his bones and bled all over his boots, but even so, he was still angry, biting the reins with his mouth, holding a gun in each hand, and slaughtered bravely, and then he was knocked off his horse, two teeth were pulled out by the reins, and he was hit by arrows in his chest and abdomen, and he killed dozens of people with his bare hands!

Yang Keshi can not be said to be brave, and it cannot be said that he is not willing to fight to the death!

Later, the planter Daoqin led a large army to come and expel the Liao army to the north bank of the river.

To be fair and just, in this battle, the two sides are evenly matched.

That night, in order to prevent the Liao army from crossing the river and sneaking attack, the seed master ordered: "Drums are beaten all night in all military camps." ”

Yelu Dashi did have the intention of crossing the river at night to sneak attack, but he heard the drums on the south bank all night, and suspected that the Song army might take advantage of the night to sneak north, so he ordered the whole army to remain on alert.

After dawn, Yelu Dashi led the army to the river bank, only to see that the Song army on the other side of the river held the barrier and was heavily guarded, so he did not dare to rashly cross the river to fight, and the two armies formed a confrontation across the river.

On the same day, Xin Xingzong led the Western Route Army to enter Fan Village as planned.

There was a lonely mountain in the east of Fancun Village, and to the surprise of the Song army, Xiao Gan, the king of the Fourth Army of Northern Liao and the envoy of the Northern Privy Council, dared to quietly climb the lonely mountain.

Seeing that the Song army was new and unprepared, Xiao Gan immediately went back to attack the army in person.

(In fact, the reason why Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan launched an attack on the Song army at the same time was also related to Yelu Chun's preparation to claim vassal to the Great Song Dynasty, and they were angry with the Great Song Dynasty, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty had broken the century-old covenant, reversed its word, was very dishonest, played cautiously, and was not reliable at all, so they would rather die in battle than surrender to the Great Song Dynasty.) ）

Soon, Xiao Gan led his army to come, and then suddenly launched an attack on Fan Village.

Wang Yuan, the former general of the Song army, as well as Liu Guangyuan, Zhai Jin, Zhao Xu and other generals, each led his troops to engage the Liao army.

But the Liao army attacked fiercely, and actually surrounded the generals of the Song army under the lonely mountain, and the main general Wang Yuan was shot and almost fell off his horse.

When the victory or defeat was undecided, Xin Xingzong came out in person, and the above generals supervised the battle before Xiao Gan was repulsed.

Tong Guan soon knew about the matter on the front line, and then the Xuanfu Division sent a document ordering the seed master to discuss with the generals whether to withdraw from the army?

Seed Master Dao immediately convened a meeting with He Xu, Yang Keshi and others.

After these two battles, the generals unanimously agreed that the strength of the Liao army still existed, and it was probably difficult to win without transferring the main force of the Western Army, so it was better to return to Shixiongzhou first, and then discuss the next step.

Now the two armies are facing each other across the river, and if they retreat suddenly, they will show their weakness, and if the Liao army takes the opportunity to pursue, the result is difficult to predict.

The seed master felt that what He Shu said still had some truth, so he asked him to write a report on this opinion and report it to the Xuanfu Division.

Tong Guan was dissatisfied with the performance of the Eastern and Western Route Army.

At the beginning, when the troops were dispatched, Tong Guanman thought that he could deter the Liao army, and even fantasized that he could recover Yanjing in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, after fighting with the Liao army, not only did he not win, but he also fell a little behind.

Faced with this situation, Tong Guan decided to implement the next strategy of Zhao Ji's three strategies for patrolling the border, that is, "return the whole division".

Later, Tong Guan ordered the Eastern Route Army to retreat to Xiongzhou, and Xin Xingzong to lead the Western Route Army to retreat to the Guangxin Army.

After receiving Tong Guan's withdrawal order, Seed Master Dao planned to organize the withdrawal immediately.

Yang Keshi said to the seed master: "Now the arrogance of the Liao army is very arrogant, if you know that our army has the intention of retreating, it will definitely attack later." ”

The planter thinks so.

At dusk, the seed master Dao ordered to quietly retreat a large number of baggage south.

In the middle of the night, the army began to retreat south, and the planter ordered the elite military horses to cover behind the palace.

Although the Song army wanted to withdraw secretly, it was discovered by the Liao army.

When Yelu Dashi got the news, he immediately rode to the riverbank and looked at the south bank.

Seeing that the main force of the Song army had indeed withdrawn, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses to guard the pass, Yelu Dashi immediately sent someone to report to Xiao Gan, and at the same time ordered the light cavalry to immediately assemble and cross the river to pursue.

The Baigou River is only thirty miles away from Xiongzhou, and there is a place called the ancient city in the middle, where the Liao army caught up with the Song army.

The two armies met each other and fought fiercely.

In real time, the north wind, heavy rain, and hail are like fists, and people can't look at each other.

But despite the environment, Yelu Dashi and his Liao cavalry still clung to the Song army.

The superiority of the horse army over the infantry army was vividly demonstrated in this battle.

The elite military horses of the Song army in charge of the palace were quickly defeated by the Liao cavalry, which was several times the number of them, and then the Liao cavalry covered all the way.

The Song army was defeated!

Even the commander of the Seed Master Dao and the prison army Cui Shi almost died under this wave of attacks by the Liao army!

After Tong Guan got the news, he immediately ordered that the army should not enter the city - Tong Guan was worried that the Song army would introduce Liao soldiers into the city when it entered the city, in which case, Xiongzhou might fall into the hands of the Liao army, so he ordered the city gate to be closed.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Song army shouted one after another: "Don't close the city gate!" ”

But Tong Guan turned a deaf ear.

Not long after, Yang Keshi and his son-in-law Ma Yanchuan and general Yang Weizhong of the Western Route Army also came to the city and fought fiercely with the Liao army.

(There is a question here, the historical records say, "Xingzong sent Yang Keshi to the aid of the central general", which should be impossible, because Yang Keshi was in the Eastern Route Army at this time, I don't know if it was a mistake in the record, or there were two Yang Keshi in the Song army?) ）

Tong Guan stood on the tower of the city and watched the battle.

Seeing that the battle outside the city was fierce, Tong Guan sent Xin Qizong and Xin Yongzong to lead the Shengjie army out of the city for reinforcements.

Although the discipline of the Shengjie Army is not good, it is still very capable of playing at critical moments.

After the Shengjie army joined the battle group, the Liao army's attack was immediately slowed down.

Seeing that he could not produce greater results, Yelu Dashi retreated with the Liao army.

In this battle, from the south of Xiongzhou, the north of Mozhou, between Tangbo, and the west of Xiongzhou, Baozhou, Zhending, the dead bodies fell or lay together, incalculable, and the armor was heavy and scattered.

In the evening, the seed master Dao received an order from the Xuanfu Division, ordering him to camp outside Xiongzhou City, gather his team, and stand by in place.

At this time, although the wind and rain had stopped, the sky was still gray, and the ground was full of standing water and mud.

Seed Master Dao stared at the dark and gloomy sky, his mood was extremely complicated, he knew that he was in danger, although this defeat was not his fault.

Tong Guan on the city wall in the distance quietly looked at the planter road, his face sinking like water......
