Chapter 422: The alliance under the city, promoting peace with war
More than 80,000 horses' hooves rained down on the earth, and the earth trembled violently, and the sound of horses' hooves seemed to knock on everyone's heart, making people's heartbeats involuntarily jump faster and faster with the rhythm of the hooves.
The Canglong military flag with a red background and black chapter takes the lead, and there are countless flags of various armies, battalions and teams in the back, covering the sky and the sun; As far as the eye can see, there are tall and strong horses galloping like galloping in the north, and immediately all the men of the Han family who are like tigers and wolves; Countless armor blades are layers of light that beat little by little in the sunlight, dazzling and dazzling, so that people can't open their eyes.
Countless cavalry troops seem to be unable to stop the steel torrent rolling in, at this moment, the Buddha is rolling between heaven and earth is boundless murderous aura, this indomitable momentum to the end, as if the Yellow River is rolling, all have to flow backwards!
Such a scene of Jin Ge Iron Horse swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, but in the midst of it, how can a man in the army not be enthusiastic?
Sixty-eight-year-old Wang Huan rode a horse and ran in front of the riding array, looking at the magnificent scene around him from time to time, and his heart was pounding like a young man seeing his beloved little lady for the first time, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Speaking of which, although Wang Huan was not from the Western Army, he also conducted a large-scale battle with the Western Army in the northwest against the Western thieves, and had seen the scene of hundreds of thousands of troops dispatched together, but the Western Army was still dominated by infantry troops, and the cavalry army was only auxiliary.
Like the Liangshan Army, fighting purely with cavalry, dispatching more than 20,000 cavalry troops at a time, and the scene of the lightning surprise attack of the cavalry infantry army and more than 20,000 war horses marching together is the first time Wang Huan has seen it since he joined the army.
I have to say, this feeling is really not bad! And the effect is surprisingly good!
According to the information he has now, the hand of the surprise attack of the Lin army lord immediately ripped the imperial court soldiers and horses and arrangements into pieces, and completely fell into passivity.
Because the Song generation lost the advantage of cavalry, they put a lot of effort into the infantry array, and later they had a divine weapon against the cavalry, so even if it was against the Liao army with hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry, the Song army could barely maintain the strategic balance of power.
The elite soldiers of both sides lined up to fight, and the Song army's infantry army was completely unafraid and even beat all foreign enemies.
But the problem is not that the Song army is fighting a decisive battle now, but that the light cavalry will raid Bianliang, Tokyo, and the enemy will be saved, and the mobility of the Song army's infantry army cannot keep up, and the cavalry army is not an opponent, so will it be completely passive?
Wang Huan, the master of the Lin army, also knew that he was to surround Bianliang City in Tokyo with heavy troops, force the imperial court to sign an alliance under the city, and promote peace with war.
As long as the more than 20,000 troops on the Hebei Road and the 20,000 cavalry from Liangshan can smoothly converge in Baimajin, the soldiers will be under the Bianjing City within one day, and hold on for two or three days.
Wang Huan believed that the imperial court would eventually choose to compromise and negotiate peace with Liang Shanjun again.
I only hope that this turmoil can kill fewer people and leave more vitality for the future changes, so that it will not fall into endless internal strife and melee like the five dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty, and finally let the Jurchens pick up the cheap in vain;
I only hope that Lord Lin can maintain as much authority as possible for the central court as much as he said before, so that all states and all walks of life in the world will see that the central court is vulnerable and have different intentions; Don't let the bandits from all over the country despise the imperial court, raise troops to rebel one after another, and claim the king as the hegemon!
Just as his thoughts were flying, when he was still four or five miles away from Liyang Jinshao, Wang Huan suddenly saw the smoke rising in front of him, and he didn't realize that his heart sank.
Didn't the defenders of Baimajin set fire to the pontoon bridge and fled? In this way, how can the more than 20,000 troops on the north bank of the Yellow River cross the river?
If the river could not be crossed, how could the Liangshan army surround Bianliang City in front of the main force of the Song army under Gao Yu's department, and how could it force the officials to sign an alliance under the city, did the two sides really have a decisive battle near Gyeonggi, defeat all of Gao Yu's 90,000 troops, and then surround Bianliang?
In this case, the price is too great!
No matter how strong the Liangshan army is, it can defeat Gao Yu at a very small price, but the 90,000 horses under Gao Yu's command are also armed by the Han people in China, and once they suffer heavy casualties, they will be injured by the vitality of the Han family!
"Straight lady thief, Song Jun is really cowardly, we are still far away, so we burned the pontoon bridge, and we really coaxed home."
It didn't take long for the cavalry to cross the Daling Mountain military village and come to the bank of the Yellow River in Liyangjin, looking at the raging fire and billowing smoke on the side of Baimajin on the other side of the river, Luan Tingyu's deputy general Shan Shiqi couldn't help but scold.
"I guess it's not because of us, it should be the soldiers and horses of the Lu Junshi over there in Liangshanbo who have been killed!"
Hao Siwen stood on horseback, looked at the pontoon bridge that had been burned out, and began to slowly float towards the north bank, frowning and explaining.
"General Hao, you know a lot, what should we do now? How do you cross the river? ”
Hao Siwen turned over and jumped off the war horse, touched the body of the horse that had been wet with sweat and soiled by dust, and said: "Brother the military lord is like a god, and he must have sent a fleet to rush over, we just took advantage of these times to rest, wash the war horse, and eat something." ”
Shan Shiqi also jumped off the horse according to his words, and took the lead in leading the war horse to the bank of the Yellow River to drink the horse and wash it, but at this time, he heard me Yang Zhi ask: "Brother of the military lord is almost here, right?" ”
The commander who stayed behind immediately said: "The military master has been gone for almost a day, and he said that he will return before noon today, and it should be almost there." ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw a horse galloping towards the west, and shouted loudly from afar: "The military lord has returned from a great victory, beheaded Wang Yi, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou, and captured Zhou Xin, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Songzhou, and the morale of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court was greatly lost, and they did not dare to continue to ......move forward."
Along the way, more than 20,000 cavalry troops of the Liangshan Army and the cavalry infantry army drove straight into the county from Wu'an County to Jun County, and all the prefectures and counties along the way were panicked, and they only dared to defend themselves behind closed doors, and the only soldiers and horses on Hebei Road that could intercept the Liangshan Army were the 30,000 troops led by He Guan.
As for the other Jiedu envoys, Jiangxia Lingling Jiedu made Yang Wen, Longxi Hanyang Jiedu made Li Congji, and Qinghe Tianshui Jiedu made Jingzhong The road was too far, and when they arrived, the battle would be over;
The Yanmen Festival in the clouds made Han Cunbao set off from Yanmen Pass north of Taiyuan, and he could only follow the ass of Liangshan Army far away all the way; Wang Wende, the envoy of Jingbei Hongnong Festival, estimated that he could barely reach King Qinwang in Bianjing, but this little bit of people was only enough to deliver vegetables;
Only Zhongshan Anping Jiedu envoy Zhang Kai may be able to fight with the more than 30,000 Liangshan infantry troops behind him now, but Liangshan troops are not afraid of him at all. What's more, there is Xu Jing here, maybe he can persuade him.
Therefore, as long as He Guan's 30,000 troops did not come to make trouble, the Liangshan army could cross the river without interference in Liyangjin.
As soon as they heard that the 30,000 troops of the imperial court were beaten by the 1,500 cavalry of the Lin army lord and their morale was greatly demoralized, and they did not dare to continue to move forward.
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
The cheers of more than 20,000 people and the sound of horses shocked the four fields, as if even the Yellow River had countless waves that were swept up for a time.
At this time, there was still Baimajin on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the Liangshan Shan Army and the Liangshan cavalry led by General Lu led by mercenaries finally arrived.
