Chapter 898

At the same moment, the seed master Dao led 20,000 elite iron horsemen, who had quietly cruised to the hilly area northwest of Youzhou, and Zhi Keshi, with a resentful face, led 30,000 foot soldiers with a grudge on his face, and worked hard to rush towards the direction of Xidaying, which was still more than 20 miles away from Youzhou City.

The reason for this arrangement is that these two bigwigs in the army won the task by guessing the boxing, the winner leads the iron horse, and the loser leads the foot soldiers.

However, when Zhi Keshi thought that when he jumped up and down in the hinterland of Western Xia, it was the good friend of the Seed Master Dao who used his hard strength to drag down the army of Renduo Zongbao, so that he could jump alive for so many days and easily withdraw from the battlefield.

In this case, this battle didn't count the farmer's dryness at all, and it was a kind of reward for his affection, phew, and comrade-in-arms.

When it was close to the hour, 30,000 foot soldiers finally laid an ambush behind a mountain beam seven miles away from the western camp of Youzhou, and the whole army hastily leaned behind the mountain beam and snored the sky.

After all, it is still too far from the camp, but fortunately, the scout cavalry sent out finally contacted the cavalry led by the seed master, and after discussion, the two sides decided that once the battle of the East Gate was about to start, the foot soldiers would first move to the bottom of the mountain to assemble.

Then marched to the west camp in advance, and when it was about two miles away from the west camp, the 20,000 elite cavalry who were ambushed in the northwest direction of the seed master road attacked the west camp again.

Of course, by this time, there was no way for their strategy to be transmitted to Youzhou City in time for Wang Yang to know.

However, the return of General Zhao greatly increased the confidence of Wang Yang, Seed Master and others, Wang Yang trusted the integrity of the two old drivers, Zhe Keshi and Seed Master Dao, as long as they had received military orders, they would definitely overcome all difficulties to reach the designated attack location.

"My lord, you really don't need to send someone to contact them anymore?" Gao Shi was still worried, and always felt that such an air communication between the two sides was really unreliable.

"No, I believe that the two generals will definitely be able to reach the position, and tomorrow, as long as the East Gate is fought together, they will definitely try to attack Xidalao."

"Okay, let's disperse quickly, rest early, recuperate your spirits, and fight tomorrow, which is the opportunity for my Youzhou elite, can the dragon get out of the shallows and leap into Pingyang."

The next day, after noon, a torrential rain galloped over, and the afternoon became extraordinarily cool, and the Liaoxia coalition army outside the city felt the rare coolness of summer habits, and was ready to take a lunch break after dinner.

The enemy formed a formation again, and the important thing was that Yelu Jinping, who originally wanted to observe and see what was going on, finally changed his face after seeing more and more soldiers and horses pouring out of the other party's urn city, and the number was at least more than 20,000.

Immediately ordered the army of Zhumen to gallop to the east gate to help, and in addition, Yelu Jinping personally commanded the 10,000 horses of the east gate camp out of the village to meet the attack.

In less than half an hour, the 25,000 Song army was facing the 40,000 elite Liaoxia coalition army. But the problem is that the Song army did not stay under the city, relying on the cover of Yuan You's crossbow on the city wall.

Instead, it formed a square formation similar to a square and slowly moved forward......

With each few steps, the voice of victory will sound again, and the more than 20,000 Song troops with high morale face the 40,000 Liaoxia coalition troops, as if they are fearless, and continue to advance slowly but surely step by step.

The outer layer is completely composed of those elites who wear the armor of the Great Song and Yuan You, which protects the whole body very tightly, and the inner layer is two columns of spearmen, and further inside, there are three columns of Yuan You crossbowmen.

Seeing the Song army with this hedgehog-like formation slowly approaching the eastern camp, Yelu Jinping's face became more and more ugly.

"Herald! The whole army marches! Steady progress! Lao Tzu wants to see if those Song soldiers really don't want to live, 20,000 horses, do you want to block the car with a mantis arm? ! ”

All the cavalry has been transferred to the southbound army, and only the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Chinese army camp remained, and the rest are all foot soldiers.

Therefore, although Yelu Jinping was very angry, it was difficult to have any tricks, after all, the Song army put on such a strange formation, which was to guard against being assaulted on both wings, so now it can only advance to a certain distance, and then fight knife to knife and gun to gun.

The breeder and the horse rider were stationed in the center of the large array, slowly riding their horses, and from time to time giving orders to the heralds to rush to various places to maintain the strict formation.

But there was still some apprehension in his heart, after all, there were 40,000 Liaoxia coalition troops on the opposite side. I don't know if my good brothers, Planter Dao, and Zhi Keshi, these two old drivers, heard the sound of war drums.

Zhi Keshi did not disappoint him, as early as when he saw the soldiers and horses of the West Battalion and the South Battalion galloping to aid the East Battalion, Zhi Keshi had already begun to reorganize the army and quietly infiltrated the mountain beam.

After that, the army began to march towards the flank and rear of the Western Battalion. And at this moment, it happened to be the time when Yelu Jinping ordered the 40,000-strong army to start a-for-tat advance.

When the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zhe Keshi were still five miles away from the western camp, the guard general Yelu Wenye had already discovered the rear of his own camp and appeared in the huge scale of the Song army's soldiers and horses, and sounded the alarm bell as soon as possible, asking the battalions to rush to help.

In less than half an hour, the news of tens of thousands of Song troops appearing in the rear of the Western Camp reached Yelu Jinping's ears.

At this moment, Yelu Jinping, who was standing outside the wall, had a terrifying face, and at this moment he didn't understand that the Song army in Youzhou City had clearly secretly contacted a reinforcement, and then, gathered troops and horses, and then attracted the main force of his army, hoping that the reinforcements could sneak attack the Ximen camp.

"Bastard, no one can still bully me? Order, let the east gate and the north gate each send 3,000 men and horses to aid the west camp, tell Yelu Wenye, let him hold the west camp, as long as the old man defeats the Song army out of the city, immediately rush to the west gate and annihilate those Song dogs who come to annihilate with him! ”

"Bring out the three thousand elite horsemen again, and prepare to attack!"

With Yelu Jinping's order, the soldiers and horses of the southern and northern battalions began to assemble towards the western battalion, and the hole cards of the eastern battalion, that is, the three thousand elite cavalry, also galloped out of the battalion, drawing an arc from the rear of the large army, heading to the northwest.

Prepare to attack the Song army from the flanks after the large army collides head-on.

Seeing this scene and receiving the news from the front, he had marched to a distance of fifty-five zhang from the city wall, and the planter took a deep breath and ordered the whole army to stop advancing immediately.

The drums above the city changed suddenly, and the news that came from the changing drums made the planter and couldn't help but show a look of overjoy, and laughed loudly.

"General, what are you happy about?" The generals who were nervous and their scalps were numb when they heard the coquettish laughter of the main general, and they instantly became uncalm.
