The galloping enemy army was the vanguard sent by Hou Junji.

The army assembled in Yingbei and spent nearly two days. From Yingbei to Luyang, there is a distance of about 12 miles.

More than 100 miles away, if a small group of troops marches in a hurry, it can be reached in a day and night.

However, Hou Junji had an army of 50,000.

With such a large legion, it is by no means easy to transfer over long distances.

According to the normal marching speed, it would take 3 days for 50,000 troops to reach Luyang.

And Hou Junji knew very well that when the garrisons of Yangcheng and Yangzhai began to retreat westward, Liu Mang would get the letter and make adjustments accordingly. Liu Mang will not leave himself enough time to allow himself to retreat calmly.

Time is the difference between success and failure.

Time can only be earned by yourself.

Hou Junji ordered that the Central Military Department and Lei Bobu, who served as the cover of the right flank, must rush to Yangyin within two days and nights.

The Li Tianyan Division, which served as the cover of the left flank, was limited to arrive within a day and a half.

The vanguard light cavalry department rushed to Yangyinli within one day and night, and was stationed on the west bank of Rushui to meet the central military headquarters.

The stakes are high for the west to withdraw from Nanyang and break away from Yuan Shu.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, throughout the winter, Hou Junji frequently transferred the team and adjusted the establishment of various departments.

The generals under his command who were not loyal to themselves but were loyal to Yuan Shu were removed one after another and secretly killed!

Now, the senior and low-level generals in the army are all Hou Junji's cronies.

In the Yuzhou army, the team led by Hou Junji had the strictest military discipline. After this adjustment, the execution of Hou Junji's army is more prominent.

As soon as the military order was given, all departments did not dare to slack off and acted immediately.

The vanguard light cavalry department was even more fast, and arrived at the east bank of Rushui in a day and night.

"Cross the river!"

At the sound of an order, Yingbei light horsemen urged their horses one after another and stepped into the Rushui River......

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

There was a dense sound of bangzi, and on the west bank of Rushui, more than a thousand Luoyang crossbowmen suddenly jumped up!

Ling is like a thunderbolt, and the arrow is like a rainstorm, pouring down, shooting straight into the river Yingbei light horse!

The Yingbei light cavalry was defenseless, and hundreds of light cavalry were hit by arrows.

People shouted and neighed, and there was chaos in the Rushui River!

"Shoot!"

Yue Fei's military flag waved again, and the second wave of arrows roared!

There are hundreds of Yingbei light horses, and the arrows fall off their horses!

"Withdraw!"

Encountering an ambush, the enemy vanguard was unexpected. Urgently ordered his subordinates to retreat to the east bank of Rushui.

After the Yingbei Army assembled and adjusted on the east bank, it waded into the water again to attack the west bank!

The Luoyang army did not flinch in the face of an enemy twice as large as its own. Hold your ground, do not attack, only use bows and arrows to stop the enemy.

The light cavalry division is stronger than outflanking in a roundabout way, and weaker than attacking fortified positions.

The Luoyang army occupied the high ground on the west bank and held it condescendingly. The Yingbei light cavalry launched attacks one after another, and after nearly two hours, no one rode a single horse, and they were able to break through to the vicinity of the Luoyang army's position.

Continuously forced to attack, leaving three or four hundred corpses, without the cooperation of sword and shield soldiers who defended against bows and arrows, the Yingbei light cavalry was powerless to attack the fortifications, and there was nothing to be done.

He could only send someone to report to Hou Junji, the commander of the Chinese army, and Li Tianyan, the general of the left wing, to ask for support.

……

In the battle of Dongxiahe, Li Tianyan was hit in the left leg by the highly favored chisel gold tiger head gun.

What a divine power Gao Pet has, he smashed the calf bone of his left leg to pieces with one shot.

After a few months of recuperation, although the pain was gone, the left leg was useless. It is extremely difficult to walk, even on horseback, and it is difficult to control the center of gravity, so it is impossible to gallop.

If you can't gallop, you can't fight.

Li Tianyan regards martial arts as his life, even if he breaks his leg, he has to go into battle to taste blood!

This bandit is really fierce!

Unexpectedly, let people tie their legs to horses!

In this way, although it is very inconvenient to get on and off the mount, you can sit upright and gallop on the horse, and you can also fight with a sword!

broke a leg, this bandit not only did not confuse his violent heart, but became even more cruel!

got an urgent report from the pioneer light cavalry asking for help, and the corners of Li Tianyan's mouth twisted. "How dare you stand in my way! Mother X is looking for death! Herald! All the march! Those who are half a step behind, kill! ”

Li Tianyan waved the blood in his hand, and led the troops to kill and raise the yin!

……

On the west bank of Rushui, Yue Fei's troops repelled several attacks by the enemy's vanguard one after another, killing hundreds of enemies.

However, nearly half of your arrows have been consumed.

The enemy's vanguard rode lightly, no longer forced to cross the Rushui, but assembled on the opposite bank to rest, must have waited for follow-up reinforcements.

"Report! The left flank of the enemy army is coming towards Rushui! ”

"How are the enemy troops equipped? How much? ”

"Light cavalry, guns, bows and crossbows are fully equipped, about 5,000 people!"

On one flank of the enemy's army, there were 5,000 men. How many people should there be in the Chinese army?

The total number of enemy vanguards, left and right flanks, and the central military headquarters is at least 30,000 or more!

How can there be so many enemy troops?

Yue Fei's army was lone and deep, and he couldn't know the battle situation in Yangcheng and Yangzhai.

However, as a commander who was proficient in the art of war, Yue Fei quickly made a correct judgment.

Last summer, at the beginning of the war between the two sides, the enemy stationed in Yingbei and Yingdong totaled about 80,000 people.

After Chen Lan, who was stationed in Yanling, Yingdong, led his troops to flee south, there should still be 50,000 or 60,000 enemies in Yingbei.

No matter what Hou Junji's purpose was, it would never be possible to easily divide half of the heavy troops to capture the land of projectiles to raise the yin.

Hou Junji will not disperse his forces, but the enemy army is coming in large numbers. It can only be shown that Hou Junji wants to give up Yingbei and enter Nanyang!

Since Hou Junji wants to give up Yingbei, he will definitely move!

In other words, what is about to be faced is not only 30,000 enemies, but all the enemies of Yingbei - 50,000 or 60,000!

The enemy army is pouring west, and the victory of Yingbei has been decided! This is great news.

However, the situation faced by Yue Fei is even more severe!

There are no dangerous barriers, and with 2,000 foot soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to block an enemy twenty or thirty times larger.

The enemy retreated westward as a whole, and the lord Liu Mang would definitely send troops and horses to pursue the fleeing enemy.

The enemy's main force is inconvenient, and it will take two days to reach Yangyinli at the earliest. And the teams of our army pursuing the enemy in Xiangcheng and Yingbei will also arrive in two days.

The task of his own unit is to hold on to the Yin Cultivation and drag the enemy to the Rushui area before the pursuit of his own team arrives!

What is urgently needed now is to crush the incoming reinforcements from the enemy's left flank.

The enemy's left flank was reinforced with 5,000 men, and the vanguard light cavalry was 3,000 men, a total of 8,000 men, four times the strength of his own army.

The enemy army is fully equipped with all kinds of troops, and has several times the advantage. It is extremely difficult to hold on to the river bank and block the enemy to the east of the Rushui, and it is necessary to change the defensive strategy.

"Herald! The divisions of the riverbank, alternately covering, retreated to the west! ”

The hilly terrain to the west was the intended second line of defense, and the last line of defense against the enemy.

No matter how difficult it is, you must stick to this second line of defense and drag the enemy in the shadows!

The Luoyang army nervously and methodically retreated to the second line of defense.

"Pei Yuanqing and Yue Yun listen to orders!"

"No!" Two cute babies strode forward, crossed hands to salute, two pink cute faces, generally serious, generally fearless!

"Order the two of you, each with 300 foot soldiers, and prepare to attack the enemy!"

"No!" Yue Yun took the first step and took the first arrow.

The "veteran" Pei Yuanqing was much more mature and steady, took the second arrow, and did not forget to ask: "General Yue, is this battle still only allowed to be defeated and not won?" ”

"Nope! Only win! Don't lose! ”

"Okay! Wow! (To be continued.) )
