Chapter 353: Half-Crossing Attack

Zhao Yougong occupied the land of Fuzhong in one day, and the undercurrent in the northwest was surging, and there were still some things that had not ended in the land of Daliao. Yao Gu, who was far away in Yingzhou, didn't know what was going on in Heyin, let alone the affairs of Fuzhou and Fengzhou, and now there was only this Yingzhou City in front of him. After taking Jincheng County, I thought that I could quickly attack Yingzhou City, but it backfired, and the Liao people's resistance was extremely fierce, and several times they just hit the city, and they were counterattacked by the Liao.

On April 24, when Zhao Xiaojun Wang led people to Fengzhou, Yao Gu was still planning a new day's siege plan, but how did Yao Gu know that the army attacking Heyin had been wiped out, and Yelu Dashi, who had not suffered much losses, turned his horse and led 20,000 cavalry plus 20,000 Yingzhou elite soldiers to attack Jincheng County, which Yao Gu had just occupied. During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao loved to cut off people's food routes, while Yelu Dashi liked to copy people's back roads. If more than 40,000 Liao elites take Jincheng County, then Yao Gu's situation will be even worse than Zhang Jun at the beginning, at least Zhang Jun can also choose to break through, but Yao Gu can't, because Yao Gu's troops are not many, coupled with the special terrain of Yingzhou, the only direction to break through is to the west, but now there are tens of thousands of Zhang Jun's troops in the direction of Heyin, and it is not much use to break through to the west.

At the end of the day, the Liao soldiers approached the Hunchuan River, and they could reach Jincheng County in two hours. In fact, if he marched at full speed, he would have been able to reach Jincheng County very early, but Yelu Dashi's appetite was too great, and he wanted to swallow all Yao Gu's horses in one bite, so he had to give Yao Gu a little sweetness, as long as Yao Gu saw that Yingzhou City could be taken, he would not have the mind to retreat.

At the same time, according to the plan. The Song soldiers should launch a new round of onslaught on the corresponding state city. I don't know why. Yao Gu didn't even issue an order for a long time. In the big tent, Yao Gu kept pacing, his appearance was already rough, and he hadn't shaved in the past ten days, so he looked like a reincarnation Zhang Fei at this time. Yao Gu fought bravely, but his mind also had a delicate side, and the Liao people in Yingzhou City resisted fiercely, but Yao Gu always felt that this should not be the full strength of the Liao people. If according to Tanma's report, there were really nearly 30,000 Liao soldiers in Yingzhou City, would Xiao Gan have been defending the city and not going out to attack it?

"Man Chun, have the scouts been sent out, is there any news from Heyin? Did you send someone to Tong Zhang? Yao Gu was very concerned about the battle situation in Heyin, and he vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong.

Man Chun arched his hand and said, "General Yao, the scout has been dispatched, but no one has returned yet, and it is estimated that someone should be able to come back at noon." As for Zhang's side. It seems that no one was sent, and it is estimated that the battle situation in Heyin is tight. Zhang Tongzhi didn't care about it, right? ”

Listening to Man Chun's words, Yao Gu's heart jumped wildly, he finally knew what the problem was, if nothing else, Zhang commanded tens of thousands of troops should have already taken Heyin City, if there was really a vicious battle, it would mean that the Liao people had already prepared, most of the more than 100,000 horses in Xijing would stay in Yunzhong Mansion to compliment the core hinterland of Xijing, where did the Liao people come from to deal with the nearly 50,000 troops under Zhang's command? In the southern front, there are large armies stationed in Wuzhou, Heyin, and Yingzhou. Wuzhou City is too important, the soldiers and horses dare not be too mobilized, Heyin is less than 10,000 people, where do the others come from? After thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is only one Yingzhou left, Yingzhou Yingzhou

Gradually, layers of cold sweat oozed from Yao Gu's forehead, and on this warm day, there was a thick layer of cold ice on his back, no wonder he rushed to the city after only four fights yesterday, it turned out that the Liao soldiers were not enough. Hey, a Yelu big stone, it's so crazy, for a small Heyin, I don't even want Yingzhou City. Yao Gu didn't know if his conjecture was right, but he had to be responsible for the Erlang of the department, so he pointed his finger at Yingzhou City on the map and smashed his fist on the bookcase. The loud noise shocked all the generals in the tent, why did General Yao suddenly get so angry?

"General Yao, what's wrong?"

"Brothers, immediately gather all battalions, gather troops and horses, and quickly evacuate Jincheng County to the south!" Yao Gu's face was gloomy, and his pair of leopard eyes were extremely cold.

The generals in the tent all frowned, and the deputy general Cen Fang arched his hand and said, "General Yao, why is this?" Yingzhou City is about to be defeated, why do you want to withdraw, so that our brothers didn't die in vain? ”

Glancing at Cen Fang, Yao Gu gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Do you think Ben will be willing to give up?" But I was going to be responsible for these living people, and in the past two days, don't you think the Liao people in Yingzhou City have become much weaker? Hehe, I only fought four times and climbed to the top of the city, when have you ever seen Xiao Gan's people so unbearable? If the expectation is good, at this time, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan should lead most of the people to Jincheng County to block our back road, if we don't retreat in time, these 20,000 sons will have to be buried here. ”

Yao Gu doesn't have any evidence, all he is doing now is based on speculation, so there are many generals who are very unconvinced, and it is a great credit to conquer Yingzhou City, but Yao Gu wants to withdraw his troops just because of a guess, isn't this ridiculous?

"General Yao, are you too worried? Zhang Tong has nearly 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, even if Yelu Dashi has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to quickly defeat Zhang Tong. Now seeing that Yingzhou City is about to be breached, General Yao wants to withdraw instead, if there is a mistake, the court will blame it in the future, how can this be good? ”

Cen Fang lowered his head after speaking, obviously there were many people who also had the same idea as Cen Fang, these people were waiting for Yao Gu's answer, but Yao Gu sneered in his heart. These people, they know how to rush to attack, they know how to get promoted and make a fortune, and they don't hesitate to fight for generals, how to be a good general? Yingzhou City, hehe, if Heyin can't take it, what's the use of taking Yingzhou City, how to transport the grain and grass, do you expect the Daizhou Governor to send the Flying Divine Ox to pull the ox cart to fly over Yanmen Mountain to send grain and grass? Just thinking about fighting Yingzhou, never thinking about how to guard, Yao Gu didn't have the heart to explain to these people, exhaled, and said with a stern expression, "If there is a business trip, all the responsibility will be borne by you, and I have nothing to do with you." Now Yao is still in charge of this vanguard army, everyone go and act according to the order, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law. ”

"Whoa!" Yao Gu had already taken all the responsibility, and the rest of the people didn't have the heart to entangle anymore, and it didn't take long for everyone to leave. Man Chunyou bent down and returned to the tent. "General Yao. You shouldn't have said those things just now, Cen Fang's people."

"Don't say more, how can Yao not know what is wrong? But how can I take care of so much at the moment, it is important to save my life first, this is Yingzhou, not my Great Song Land, if I don't stay for a moment, there will be more danger. ”

It's just past that hour. The Liao soldiers on the city of Yingzhou were still waiting for the expected siege, but what surprised them was that those Song soldiers actually pulled out their camps in groups and retreated south. Seeing such a scene, the Liao soldiers could only smile helplessly, and they didn't know if Yao Gu got any news, so he withdrew at this time, but he could go out of the city to bite these Song people, but the Great Liao warriors fought viciously for a long time, and they never rested at all, and it was unrealistic to go out of the city to pursue. Now we can only hope that His Royal Highness King Xi and Generalissimo Yelu will arrive as soon as possible.

In the north of Yanmen Mountain, a large army slowly rushed towards Jincheng County. It was almost noon, and the whole army should have rested, but when he saw two horses galloping, the Liao soldiers immediately said urgently, "Dashuai, it's not good, I don't know what happened, the Han people have entered Jincheng County and retreated south to the direction of Jinxianhe." ”

"What?" Yelu Dashi's eyes widened, and he was really annoyed in his heart, if he let the Han people cross the Jin Xian River, he would be able to retreat into Yanmen Mountain in the blink of an eye, "Han Dexiang, Gu Nalie, give up rest, the cavalry is advancing at full speed, we must reach the south bank of the Jin Xian River before the end of the time, and block the Han people in the area of the Jin Xian River for Ben Shuai." ”

"Yes" Han Dexiang and Gu Nalie didn't say much, although the cavalry was the most tired after running for a few days, but after all, it was much stronger than those infantry who walked on two feet, and for now, the cavalry could only rush to the area of Jin Xianhe first.

Jinxian River, also known as Jinsha River, its name corresponds to Huairen Golden Beach. Legend has it that the Jinxian River was directly connected to the Golden Beach in the past, and the Golden Beach was not the Gobi Grassland at that time, but a beautiful lake. At the beginning of the last day, seeing that Jin Xianhe was about to arrive, Yao Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he could go home after Jin Xianhe.

Boom, boom, a heavy sound sounded from the sky, and a mighty black cloud flew from afar, accompanied by the whining horn, the black cloud was getting closer and closer.

It's a cavalry, hiss, Yao Gu's heart gradually sank to the bottom, and he really guessed correctly, Yelu Dashi is going to destroy the vanguard army. It doesn't matter how Zhang Tongzhi was defeated, the important thing is that the sons and daughters should cross the river quickly.

Seeing the large force of cavalry, many people panicked, including the deputy general Cen Fang and others. Yao Gu took out his horse chopping knife and shouted loudly, "The generals listen to the order, disperse, disperse, cross the river quickly, cross the river and retreat to Yanmen Mountain, hurry up."

Since the Liao people have been planning for a long time, it is impossible to come to such a small cavalry, as Yao Gu thought, the black clouds in the sky gathered more and more, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded through the heavens and the earth, shaking the feet trembling. Many Song soldiers jumped into the river, Jin Xianhe was not wide, but it was very deep, and the distance of just a dozen zhang turned out to be an insurmountable moat. And Yao Gu had to face another problem, that is, most of his subordinates were northerners, many people were okay with dogs, and their ability to shave water was not strong, and many of them were still famous landlubbers.

The Song soldiers rushed into the river, Han Dexiang also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally arrived, if he let the Han people go a little slower, Generalissimo Yelu would definitely be angry.

The battle of the river, half of the crossing, Han Dexiang gave an order, the cavalry of the cheetah battalion could not take a break, beat the horse to the river, stretched the bow and set up the arrows, and the rain of arrows flew in the tide, only half a pillar of incense, the originally clear Jin Xianhe turned into blood red, shouting, shouting and scolding one after another, endlessly, many Song soldiers who did not understand the nature of the water, were directly drowned in the middle.

Half-crossing and attacking, leading the troops for many years, doesn't Yao Gu know what is half-crossing and attacking? But now he has no other way but to cross the river, although he will suffer heavy casualties, but at least he can escape a lot, and then reorganize his troops to wait for the enemy? At that time, most of the Liao people came, and none of them could escape.

Han Dexiang led most of the cheetah battalion to guard the south bank, and many Song soldiers swam to the shore, but before they could catch their breath, they were killed by the Liao cavalry. Yao Gu withstood the rain of arrows, and finally came to the south bank, he took off his wet pair, picked up the horse chopping knife, and pounced on a Liao horseman, killing the Liao soldier and taking the war horse, Yao Gu shouted to Man Chun, "Man Chun, quickly organize the brothers to form a team and slowly retreat south." ”

Man Chun wiped away the blood, stared at the tiger, and shouted loudly, "General Yao, what about you?" ”

"Hehe, I have long heard that the cheetah battalion under the command of Yelu Dashi is brave and good at fighting, and today General Ben is going to meet this No. 1 male soldier of Daliao!" Wielding the saber, Yao Gu shouted loudly, "Brothers, there are those who are not afraid of death, and they will follow the future." ”

With an angry roar, the war horse rushed westward, and immediately many Song soldiers who had come ashore gathered behind Yao Gu, slowly gathered into more than 3,000 people, and rushed towards Han Dexiang's location. Rushing the cavalry with infantry is almost a lifeless tactic, Man Chunhu has tears in his eyes, he can't say anything, he knows that General Yao is trying to buy time for the army to retreat with his life.
