Chapter 212: Snow Full Bow and Knife (7)
This setback, for the second road army, is really a big blow, a light enemy rash is to carry all the fault on Yao Gu father and son.
Speaking of such things, in fact, it doesn't have much to do with them, Yao Pingzhong was only like a mountain falling in the situation that the army on the front road collapsed, but he was able to slightly restrain some military morale, made some resistance, and also showed the hole cards that had been forced to hide in his hand.
At this moment, in the tent of the handsome, Liu Yanqing was still marching slowly all day, and Tong Guan did not even go forward until he reached the Gaoliang River, so he led Wang Yu's Shengjie army to be stationed dozens of miles outside the army.
Liu Yanqing, Yao Gu is going to lead the army to continue to move forward, Tong Guan has reached this time, and he can commit himself to moving forward so far, I don't know how novel it is.
In the night, Yang Ling took a few personal guards and immediately stood up, looking at the campfires under his feet.
Now under the command of Yang Ling, perhaps because he has been fighting in this incomparably vast Yan Land for a long time, the combat camping style is a bit like a military horse in the Northland.
The camp was no longer as tight as the Song army, it was as strong as a turtle shell, and the enemy could not enter until it was time to open up. I can't go out by myself. In the camp, there are dense arrow towers.
On the contrary, he used as a towel in the camp, leaving enough access for the cavalry to counterattack, and the sentry was also placed very far away. Even at night, the battlefield under control is quite large, leaving enough time for the reaction of his entire army.
After Yang Ling's army broke through the big stone forest teeth, it also advanced quite quickly, under the leadership of the local investment Haoqiang, who was familiar with the terrain.
In just two days, he had already made contact with the sentinels released by the old and small races to the south, and although Xiao Gan on the other side of the Sorghum River had all the main forces transferred, he still had some bright skills left in the empty camp.
Sometimes, even these Liao people ran to the edge of the river. There was no interest in shooting a round with a small group of sentry spies of the Song Army.
At this time, there is nothing to do, Liu Yanqing, Yao Gu can reach the place where the strategy is located in three days at most, and the old breed has become a corner, and the two soldiers and horses are only an hour away from the cavalry. The infantry army is only half a day.
At this time, the war can be regarded as really opened, at least the Song people have already set the main force away, the formation has been completed, for Yao Gu's previous defeat, no one cares about it, this battle will take a long time, to care about what to do!
Yang Ling's headquarters also recalled Yue Fei, and the soldiers and horses that had been covering the rear of the whole army returned one after another. At this time, there were more than 7,000 soldiers and soldiers of the Shence Army, and the Yelu Dashi Light Cavalry attacked, in the final analysis, it was just to occupy the advantage that the shelter of the Shence Army of Yang Ling was too broad and the troops did not have time to concentrate.
At this time, Yang Ling's palace responsibilities can be regarded as being handed over, that is, the only way to settle the soldiers and horses is to settle down.
……
Yang Ling stared at Han Shizhong, who couldn't help shaking his head, a little tiredly, and asked in a low voice, "Can't catch the main force of the Liao people?" ”
Han Shizhong coughed. shook his head heavily: "Turning to battle in the field is what the Yandi cavalry is best at. They want to avoid war. It's easy for us to see them! I was in the Western Army, and I was near the left side of Hengshan that day, and it was also difficult to touch the main force of Xinu's field battle. General Xiao Yang, this road will not succeed! ”
"The army marched all the way, but at this time there was not the slightest mistake. Xiao Gan suddenly led the army back and forth in the Gaoliang River, so that the initiative was completely in their hands, and when the Liao people took the lead in attacking, they must have the certainty of victory! ”
Yang Ling clenched his fists tightly, "We have too much weight on our soldiers and horses. Except for the Shengjie Army, the Baiqi Army, and the Shence Army, they are all foot soldiers, and they dare not cross the river easily, which is really worrying! ”
Han Shizhong saw that Yang Ling's face was ugly, and muttered again: "Luo Hou also led all the way across the Gaoliang River, led a light horse out to investigate, and has not come back yet, he has dealt with the Liao people a lot, maybe he has a little experience, see if there is any good news coming from him."
Halfway through the words of comfort, Han Shizhong couldn't help but grin and added: "Look, he won't be able to do it!" ”
At this time, Yang Ling did not only send a small number of light cavalry to cross the Gaoliang River to wait and see the situation, but even so, it was a huge risk, everyone was equipped with two horses, and the equipment was so complete that it could not be more complete, but Luo Hou released three or four sentry horses, and it could not be put too far, after all, where the two armies were fighting, crossing the Gaoliang River was already a big whimsy!
Yang Ling turned around, "Let Luo Hou and them return first, the minds of the Liao people are not something we can control, at this time, we can only respond to all changes, I look at this situation, Xiao Gan is just looking for a flaw!" ”
At this level of battle, often the commanders who are famous in history will not quietly wait for the opportunity to come, but know themselves and the enemy, and create an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle.
"Tang Huai, go out for a walk with so-and-so!"
Where Yang Ling was, he rode a war horse, and dozens of figures followed, to a small hill, the distant sorghum river flowed loudly, and then there was the majestic Yanjing City, which wanted to sweep away the resentment in his chest.
On the other side of the hillock, there was also the sound of horses' hooves at this time, and in the blink of an eye, I saw Luo Hou leading dozens of light horsemen to gallop up the hillock.
This sentry detective, I don't know how far to let it out, Luo Hou also participated in a few battles before, and his injuries are not yet healed, but he seems to be really like an iron fight, and he is still running in the army.
This kind of work of a distant sentry, he thought that he had dealt with the Liao people a lot, and he was also familiar with the situation in the north, so he had to take it on him. Yang Ling couldn't let him rest, so he simply didn't bother to care about him.
Tang Huai crooked his mouth towards Luo Hou, who turned over and dismounted, and pointed towards Yang Ling, Luo Hou glanced at Yang Ling's back, and his face was also as heavy as water, and he strode behind Yang Ling and stood still.
Yang Ling didn't turn back, but as if he knew that it was Luo Hou standing behind him, he asked in a low voice, "How?" ”
Luo Hou was behind Yang Ling and saluted: "General Xiao Yang, a certain incompetent, detoured to cross the Gaoliang River for more than 20 miles, and there is still no trace of the main force of the Liao people. can only find some clues that they once stationed, and the Liao people blindly avoided the war. However, when we were about to retreat to the Gaoliang River, the Liao people were far away and rode dozens of miles away to chase and deter, but they did not come up to fight. It's getting late. We don't dare to fight with the main force of the Liao, so we can only retreat! (To be continued......)
