Chapter 370: Dark Clouds Roll and Destroy the Sky

Less than the second hour of the fifth month of the third year of Xuanhe, the sky was bright, and the Great Liao cavalry stationed in the area of the Yongding River under the leadership of the Liao general Ye Yi brazenly launched a fierce attack on the area of the Baigou River in the Great Song Dynasty. Since then, the largest battle in the past 100 years of Song Liao has begun, and it is later known as the "Baigou War".

At the beginning of the battle, Ye Yi did not want to occupy the Baigou River, but just wanted to expand the results of the battle. Stationed in the area of Baigou River is Yang Weizhong under the command of the master Dao, this person is brave in battle, good in defense, not comparable to ordinary people, so for so long, the Xijin Mansion has not launched an attack on the Baigou River, and today can get a good opportunity, it is really sent by Wang Ping. Ye Yi led 5,000 light horsemen to the Baiyu Bridge in the west of the Baigou River, Zhao Ming could not resist, and was defeated and retreated, Wang Ping was even more unbearable, and even the people and horses behind the palace were not left, and led the swarm of people to the Baiyu Bridge. The Baiyu Bridge is three zhang wide, such a wide bridge, it can be regarded as a well-deserved bridge in the Song Dynasty, but at this time, thousands of people squeezed on the bridge, and it was still a little unbearable.

The Liao people chased after the iron cavalry behind, and some Song soldiers with good water quality couldn't squeeze into the bridge deck at a glance, and jumped directly into the river, on the south bank of the Baigou River, Yang Weizhong looked at Wang Ping's defeated soldiers, and his face was blue with anger, and his seven orifices were smoking, this Wang Ping, will he fight in the end, is he running for his life, or is he a pioneer for the Liao people? Wang Ping led his men and horses across the Baiyu Bridge and fled straight south, and this time, Yang Weizhong's hard-managed formation was rushed to pieces, and many Song soldiers immediately cursed. In the face of Wang Ping's people, Yang Weizhong hated it so much that his teeth itched, but he couldn't attack his own people, in order to avoid the formation being scattered. He could only order the men and horses of the subordinate to separate from the left and right. Get out of the way. Wang Ping led the troops to withdraw, Zhao Mingcai crossed the Baiyu Bridge with the support of several soldiers, and when he saw Yang Weizhong's face, Zhao Ming endured the severe pain on his body, and said urgently, "Hurry up General Yang, hurry up and let people block the bridge, and Liao Cavalry will rush across the bridge." The consequences are unimaginable, and General Wang asked General Wang to lead his troops to seal the Da Ling Bridge in the west."

Listening to Zhao Ming's words, Yang Weizhong suddenly smiled bitterly, and still counted on Wang Ping, Wang Ping is probably about to run to Xiongzhou at this time, right? Let Zhao Ming be carried down, Yang Weizhong climbed a tree and looked north, at a glance, a heart suddenly became cold and cold, the Khitan people bit too hard, if they let out arrows to block the enemy, they would inevitably hurt their own people. How good is that?

It must not work to release arrows, Yang Weizhong thought about it. frowned, jumped down from the tree, drew his knife and was the first to block the bridge, and then shouted loudly, "Tang Liang, Qin Hu, follow the general to line up to block the bridge!" ”

"Oh" several generals then arrived, and immediately blocked the entire Baiyu Bridge to death, and then those Song soldiers who had not escaped back suddenly scolded, "Get out of the way" scolded in his mouth, some people have already fought with the people guarding the bridge, at this time those who fled for their lives are just thinking about how to live, why talk too much?

Yang Weizhong snorted coldly, without saying a word, he directly grabbed the one who made the most trouble, and slashed with a knife. Yang Weizhong started quickly and ruthlessly, so frightened that many Song soldiers stopped their steps, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Weizhong shouted loudly, "Damn, it's all for Lao Tzu to listen to, and then rush like a flock of ducks, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite, now if you want to run for your life, jump off the bridge, swim from the river, if you don't understand water, turn your face to Lao Tzu, and face the Khitans with Lao Tzu." The generals listened to the order, and if anyone dared to rush into battle again, he would be the vanguard of the Khitan barbarians, and he would be killed. After the military law team, from now on, if anyone dares to disturb the morale of the army again, he will be killed on the spot. ”

Yang Weizhong's words and deeds completely deterred those defeated soldiers, and for a while, some people jumped into the water from the bridge, and some people automatically turned around to help block the bridge, and the chaotic situation was controlled.

Yang Weizhong couldn't be happy at all in his heart, Wang Ping, the son of a bitch, not to mention his own defeat, and also involved the defense line of the Baigou River, he was really innocent.

On the north side of the Baiyu Bridge, when Ye Yi approached the bridgehead, he immediately stopped his horse, the bridgehead was blocked, and all the troops were cavalry, so he would definitely not be able to pass. However, Ye Yi was not in a hurry, he grinned, waved his hand and signaled the cavalry to retreat five miles, dismount and rest. Ye Yi did this, also because he had something to rely on in his heart, since Wang Ping's defeat, he sent his personal guards to inform the general Xiao Qian in the rear, it is estimated that the general should have led the troops to the Da Ling Bridge, as long as the general led the light cavalry to break through the Da Ling Bridge, Yang Weizhong is no matter how capable he is, and he can only be beaten passively.

Ye Yi did not attack, Yang Weizhong finally got a chance to breathe, he first let the Song soldiers trapped on the bridge retreat to the south bank, and then reorganized the formation. With his men, if no one else makes trouble, there should be no problem in holding the Baiyu Bridge, but Yang Weizhong is most worried about the Da Ling Bridge now, if it is really as Zhao Ming said, if the Liao people want to attack on a large scale this time, they will definitely not only attack the Baigou River. The Great Zero Bridge is located in the west of Xiongzhou, and the south is Fan Village, where the army of Xin Xingzong is stationed on the West Road, and the Liao people do not need to directly attack Fan Village, they only need to send people to the Big Zero Bridge, and then send light cavalry to the east to attack the Baiyu Bridge, and the first line of defense in the north that the Great Song Dynasty has been operating for a long time will collapse.

Worried in his heart, Yang Weizhong immediately sent a fast horse to Fan Village, hoping that Xin Xingzong could increase his vigilance and send more people to Da Ling Bridge. It's a pity that Yang Weizhong's reaction was still a little slow, and when he sent people to Fan Village, Xiao Qian had already led eight thousand iron horsemen to launch a surprise attack on the Da Ling Bridge. On the second day of the fifth month, it was cloudy from the morning, and under the dim sky, there was a rare strong north wind.

There has always been a folk saying, called the south wind to send warmth, the north wind brings cold, the sudden north wind, so that this gloomy day is a little more cool, more than 2,000 Song soldiers guarding the Da Ling Bridge thought that there should be nothing to do in this weather, so they relaxed their vigilance. According to the rules, the scouts in the north of the bridge want to release ten miles of land, but today's situation is special, and the scouts only cover two miles. It's only two miles, isn't it a blink of an eye for the Khitan iron riders who came downwind? When Xiao Qian led the cavalry to the Da Ling Bridge, many Song soldiers were panicked, Xiao Qian refused to let go of the opportunity, and directly took advantage of the chaos to cover up and kill, in just a quarter of an hour, more than 2,000 Da Ling Bridge defenders were killed and scattered, and all those who survived ran towards Fan Village in the south.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, with the occasional muffled thunder, this May day. Thunder sounded. It's as strange as a big north wind. Clouds shrouded in clouds. It's like a sign that today will be a different day.

"Dielauren, you lead half of the men and horses to garrison the Great Zero Bridge, wait for the army of Marshal Du to come, and the rest of the people will go to the White Jade Bridge with the general!"

Under an order, the iron cavalry galloped, and on this Yanzhao Plain, the Liao iron cavalry was like an invincible torrent, and no one could stop it. When. Yang Weizhong listened to the Malay report, a large number of Liao cavalry appeared in the west, and almost without much thought, Yang Weizhong knew that the Da Ling Bridge had been broken. Huh, Yang Weizhong glanced at the north with great anxiety, and as he thought, Ye Yi's cavalry, which had rested for an hour, also began to pounce towards the Baiyu Bridge. It must be withdrawn, if it is withdrawn slowly, these thousands of men and horses under his command will be buried in the hands of the Khitan cavalry.

Yang Weizhong found several generals and ordered them to lead their troops east to retreat to Qingzhou. He led a thousand elite soldiers to the rear of the palace.

To the south of the Baiyu Bridge, the Song soldiers were ordered to retreat eastward. Yang Weizhong led a thousand elite soldiers to directly block the bridge. In the face of the cavalry, the only thing to rely on is the bow and arrow, fortunately, the Baiyu Bridge is not a plain, the cavalry on the bridge cannot show the formation, the bow and arrow are fired together, Ye Yi can not break through, and after paying another hundred casualties, Ye Yi directly asked his subordinates to retreat. Ye Yi withdrew his troops, but Yang Weizhong's face became dead white, this Khitan barbarian is really insidious, he has to wait until the western cavalry outflanks him before he does it.

It didn't take long for Xiao Gan's cavalry to kill near the Baiyu Bridge, and along the way, Xiao Qian did not encounter much resistance, although there was resistance, it was mostly a sporadic small group of men. Although it was a long journey, the Liao knights were in full swing, and without Xiao Qian's order, thousands of cavalry rushed straight towards the phalanx formed by Yang Weizhong. Ye Yi waited for a long time, and immediately launched an attack from the north, facing two cavalry forces, even Yang Weizhong had no idea.

Yang Weizhong has a spiritual spirit in fighting, which is also the reason why the seed master likes Yang Weizhong. Knowing that there was little hope of survival, he asked his subordinates to tighten the formation and hold them in a group, in short, no matter what, they could not be cut by the Liao cavalry, as long as they were held into a group, if the Liao people wanted to gnaw them off, they had to break off two teeth.

The battle of Baiyuqiao was extremely tragic, Yang Weizhong surrounded the shield outside, and the men and horses of the department were tightly twisted into a rope, and the small Baiyuqiao bridge could not be opened in formation, even if the Liao cavalry occupied an absolute advantage, it was a headache, because Yang Weizhong's department was like a thorny Wang Ba, although it achieved a lot of results, but many Liao cavalry were also dragged off their horses and hacked to death.

Xiao Gan's face was pale, his eyes were cold, he gave an order, and the Liao cavalry withdrew one after another, and on the periphery, those Liao cavalry turned their horses' heads, stretched their bows and arrows, and suddenly ten thousand arrows were fired. Due to the condescending cavalry and projectile, the shield array formed by Yang Weizhong lost its effect at once, and the arrow rain fell, many Song soldiers were either killed or wounded, and under the heavy casualties, the formation was also much looser, taking this opportunity, Ye Yi ordered the impact again, Yang Weizhong knew that he couldn't resist it, so he shouted, "Withdraw!" ”

This one withdrawal word, how much helplessness is mixed with it, only Yang Wei himself knows, now that the cavalry is on the side, whether he can escape back depends on the will of heaven.

Yang Weizhong led his troops and horses to retreat, Xiao Qian and Ye Yi chased after him, and in just half an hour, hundreds of corpses were left behind five miles from Baiyuqiao to Qingzhou. Two legs can't always run four legs, Bazhou Liu Jiawa, Yang Weizhong's face is pale, his lips are purple, and he has run so far, his legs are floating, panting, looking at the gloomy sky, this six-foot man's eyes showed a trace of dazedness, is it really God who wants to destroy him Yang Weizhong?

There was a loud bang, a loud bang, his face was a little more moist, and he stretched out his hand, and the raindrops the size of beans fell on the palm of his hand. Yang Weizhong smirked, it was raining, and it was raining so much, this was a glimmer of life in despair. Without thinking too much, Yang Weizhong stood up and laughed excitedly, "Hahaha, God will not destroy us, brothers, run to the south sand." ”

It was raining heavily, and Yang Weizhong and the remaining more than 100 soldiers ran to the sand. Sandy land, the soil is soft, and when the rain is abundant, it will become soft and abnormal, and it is directly a few inches of pit when you step on it, not to mention the war horse. This heavy rain really saved Yang Weizhong's life, Yang Weizhong escaped with his life, but Xin Xingzong was not so lucky.

At noon that day, the people sent by Yang Weizhong arrived in Fan Village, and at this time, the news of the fall of the Da Ling Bridge had reached the camp of Fan Village, Xin Xingzong knew the importance of the Da Ling Bridge, so he gathered the whole army and directly launched a fierce attack on the four thousand Liao cavalry near the Da Ling Bridge. In this battle, because the soldiers and horses of Fan Village occupied an absolute numerical advantage, so the Liao cavalry was compressed to the death in a few miles near the Da Ling Bridge, and there was already a little time to drive the Liao cavalry back to the north of the Da Ling Bridge, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, in the heavy rain, Han Fangqiao, the marshal of the Nanjing capital of the Great Liao, led 30,000 troops to arrive, and Xiao Qian and Ye Yi led the cavalry back to help, and directly pressed the Xin Xingzong men and horses back, under a fierce battle, Xin Xingzong's first fierce general Wang Yuan was shot twice, fortunately his own soldiers were brave, so that Wang Yuan picked up a life.
