Chapter 263: Driving the Wolf into the River 3

Although the armor on his body was lost, he still didn't dare to lose the weapon, which was a soldier's last reliance. So although they were attacked by the Fanren cavalry in the river, the Song soldiers who came ashore also had to struggle.

When Yelu Dashi led the cavalry to kill, the Song army, which had already climbed ashore, had already met him with weapons and killed him. It's just a foot battle horse, after all, the infantry army suffers a loss, so it still can't resist Yelu Dashi's cavalry rushing and killing, and in a moment the river bank is already full of Song army corpses.

Liu Yanqing was surrounded by a bunch of pro-soldiers standing on the shore, and seeing that there were only one or two thousand soldiers, he knew that there were few soldiers, so he immediately ordered: "Quickly order the left and right armies to rush here!" Outflank the soldiers! ”

Immediately, someone blew a horn and issued an order, informing Jiao Anjie and Wang Yuan's left and right armies to withdraw to the location of the Chinese army. Liu Guangshi commanded the soldiers who had already gone ashore to line up to meet the enemy, which was better than being killed by the soldiers one by one.

With the sound of the horn, Wang Yuan's left army was the first to move, slowly moving here. The right army of Jiao'an Festival appeared on the south bank of the moat outside the corner of the city wall after a long time.

Jiao Anjie was naturally willing to continue to attack the risk-free Yingchun Gate, and the soldiers inside did not dare to kill it anyway. Therefore, when he heard Liu Yanqing's horn order of the Chinese army to protect the Chinese army, Jiao Anjie naturally delayed it and was late.

By the time Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses arrived, Yelu Dashi had already led the cavalry to rush back and forth at the location of Liu Yanqing's Chinese army and kill three times, killing the Song army that climbed ashore. Those who were killed on the shore, drowned in the river, shot to death by the guards on the city wall when they fled, burned to death by the fire at the city gates, and killed by the thunder and poisonous smoke of their own people, 10,000 Chinese troops, not even 3,000 men. Not to mention Liu Guangshi, three thousand elite riders, two thousand people ran away like a dog, and they are still in the city, dead or alive, Liu Guangshi only thinks that there are no two thousand people now, and the remaining 1,000 people are also killed and injured. Wu Zihou's rear army followed Liu Yanqing's Chinese army into the city, fortunately there were still 2,000 people left on the south bank of the moat, in fact, it was not that Wu Zihou arranged it properly, but the trebuchet was stuck on the suspension bridge, and it was impossible to advance or retreat, so it was blocked on the south bank of 2,000 people, and it was the initial resistance of these 2,000 people that did not let Liu Yanqing's Chinese army all die in this moat.

Liu Yanqing saw Wang Yuan coming with troops, his heart was a little relieved, and he saw that there were only 2,000 cavalry troops around Yelu Dashi to follow and kill, knowing that there were few soldiers, he hurriedly gave Wang Yuan an order, asking Wang Yuan to draw out 3,000 cavalry, mobilize 3,000 horse troops, and copy soldiers from the southwest. Wang Yuan asked the deputy general Wang Shuyang to personally lead the 3,000 horse army to the southwest to intercept.

At this time, the 2,000 men and horses of Yelu Dashi had turned to the southeast, ready for the next attack. At this time, Jiao Anjie also came to see Liu Yanqing, and Liu Yanqing ordered Jiao Anjie to send 3,000 cavalry to face the cavalry led by Yelu Dashi.

On the bank of the river, the Song army was no longer the embarrassment just now, from east to west, the infantry battle formation was lined up, the swordsmen and gunners were in front, the crossbowmen were behind, and all the people were facing the soldiers who had just escaped.

Liu Yanqing also recovered the momentum of the capital, although he was attacked by Yelu Dashi just now, and the casualties were not counted, but the final victory was the real victory. Just as Liu Yanqing was watching the two Song army horse armies separate and rush towards the Fanbing cavalry, a majestic and long horn suddenly sounded in the west and north of Yanjing City.

It wasn't one or two trumpets blowing, but ten or twenty trumpets. The low, reverberating sound of the trumpet seemed to come from the distant sky, and it seemed to come from all directions. In the sound of the horn, it seems that you can see thousands of soldiers and horses rushing behind like thunder, as if all the creatures on the earth will surrender to the iron hooves of this army of soldiers and horses, and the sound of the horn seems to be the invisible sword of this soldier and horse, which is unstoppably splitting everything in front of it.

As the horn sounded, bursts of thunderous shouts suddenly erupted from Yanjing City's head: "Reinforcements!" "Our reinforcements! "It's the Black Armor Army! ”……

Reinforcements? Liu Yanqing felt strange in his heart, no one had ever told him that there were still reinforcements in Yanjing City, where did the reinforcements come from? But listening to the sound of the trumpet, it is true. When he was suspicious, suddenly a cavalry came running from the west, approached, turned over and dismounted, and reported to Wang Yuan: "Wang is in charge, there is a large army in the northwest!" Wang Yuan turned his head to look at Liu Yanqing, and Liu Yanqing asked uneasily, "Where did the army come from?" How many centaurs? The cavalry replied: "It is from the direction of Changping Pass, and it is very fast, and they are all cavalry." ”

Liu Yanqing thought to himself: Could it be that the cavalry guarding the pass was transferred? While he was guessing, he only heard Xiao Gan laughing loudly at the head of the city: "Hahaha, the reinforcements have arrived, go out of the city to kill the enemy!" So saying, he went down from the top of the city.

Liu Yanqing was still betting on whether Yanjing really had reinforcements, Liu Guangshi was on the side, and he didn't even care about the rules in the army, and said hurriedly: "Daddy, since Yanjing reinforcements are coming, it is better to withdraw first, prepare carefully, and then plan for big things." ”

Jiao Anjie also said on the side: "Liu Dutong, Yanjing is already in the bag, there is no need to rush for a while, if it is won by Fanren, it will damage the prestige of my army." Today's attack on the city has greatly reduced the momentum of the people. Be cautious. ”

Liu Yanqing was persuaded by the two and ordered: "Recall the cavalry and wait and see what happens." The order was passed down, and the two cavalry armies saw that they were about to besiege Yelu Dashi's 2,000 people, but they could only give up, reflexively returned to the front of their own army, and watched Yelu Dashi lead 2,000 cavalry Shi Shiran to the west of Yanjing City.

Liu Yanqing knew that he was tricked by Xiao Gan, but for the sake of face, he refused to say anything about the reinforcements, but just ordered: "The sky is about to be dark, the army will camp here, and fight again tomorrow!" ”

"No, all of them!" Jiao Anjie was always waiting for Liu Yanqing to retreat, but Liu Yanqing said that he wanted to camp here, and hurriedly persuaded: "This place is close to Yanjing City, even if you set up camp, the soldiers can't rest in peace, who knows if they will run out in the middle of the night to sneak attack, or shoot rockets down at the head of the city, wouldn't it be unsafe?" Fan people take turns to disturb, how to attack the city tomorrow? ”

When Liu Yanqing heard it, he couldn't sleep well, how could he still fight? Xiang Jiao Anjie asked, "I don't know what Jiao Commander's plan is?" Speak and listen to Pontus. ”

"Naturally, we are going to withdraw to Lugou Henan. Dutong, the Lugou River is less than sixty miles to Yanjing, if it is camped in the north of the Lugou River, then the Fanren cavalry will come between breaths, what is the difference between here? If we camp on the south bank of the Lugou River, then our army has the danger of the river to be a barrier, and we are not afraid of a sneak attack, and our cavalry can reach Yanjing City in an instant, which is my superiority and inferiority, please think twice. In order to be able to sleep peacefully, Jiao Anjie also tried his best to wear out his mouth.

Liu Yanqing nodded and said, "The army retreats to the south bank of the Lugou River, sets up camp along the river, and chooses the opportunity to attack again!" ”
