ps: Thank you for not asking me for my continuous tip every day! Thank you all for your recommended tickets!
At the head of the city of Ulju, a bright golden dragon flag was erected, symbolizing another piece of land, which was incorporated under the iron hooves of the Jurchens. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although the city was singing, dancing and celebrating, it did not stop, and led 15,000 cavalry to the south to pursue Yang Keshi.
Yang Keshi is a famous general of the Western Army, and the Baiqi soldiers under his command are also well-known for their courage in the Great Song Dynasty.
Taking advantage of the unobstructed retreat on the way, this heroic and warlike army was annihilated, and there was no major field battle north of the Yellow River. At the same time, taking away the courage of the army and destroying the soul of the army will also cause psychological pressure on the other armies of the Southern Dynasties.
Zong Wang originally wanted to go on the expedition instead of Xianye, but Xianye also felt that it was more important to press the ground in Ulzhou, so he let him stay.
In order to further expand the advantage and advance to the south, Xian also ordered to mobilize 10,000 troops from Zhongjing to reinforce Yanjing and Zhuozhou, and always maintained a high-pressure posture against the Yizhou Yanyun Righteous Army.
Yang Keshi knew that Ulzhou must be finished, and the pathetic Ding Pei didn't know the Jurchens at all. Innocence will definitely be broken by reality, since Ding Pei chooses to blame others.
The five thousand cavalry, lacking medical care and food, were demoralized, and could only exert sixty percent of their usual speed, which was difficult to escape the pursuit of the Jurchens. In order to gain time, Yang Keshi personally took five hundred cavalry queens, hoping to delay the large army for a while.
The queen of the palace is his own personal soldiers, Yang Keshi brought it from his hometown, and his combat effectiveness and loyalty are not mentioned, so the most bitter and difficult goods are theirs.
The bottle-shaped village in the valley, that is, the famous Pingxingguan in later generations, is guarded by border troops here. Although Ulzhou was recovered, due to the short time, there were at least 500 garrisons in the bottle-shaped village.
Yang Keshi chose to retreat here to Zhending, the first is that although Damao Mountain is close, the mountain road is not convenient for the cavalry to pass, even if it can pass, the speed will be reduced to the slowest and it is easy to be bitten by the Jin army.
Second, the bottle-shaped village at least has the advantage of geographical advantages, even if one or two thousand Jurchen cavalry arrives, it may not be able to bite down. Maybe there are extra supplies in the bottle village, which can deal with the hungry white soldiers.
However, the journey of more than 200 miles from Ulzhou to Bottle-shaped Village takes at least one day and one night, and now there are more than 100 miles, and it seems that it will not be able to arrive until tomorrow morning.
A wave of unsettled waves rose again, and the white soldiers rushed for several days in a row, and the loss of the war horses was large, and now the horsemen are riding. In addition, there were some lightly wounded wounded soldiers, who did not receive timely treatment for several days, and began to appear in a bad condition of deterioration of wounds and aggravation of their condition.
There can be no longer delay, if you can't get medical treatment in the bottle village tomorrow, at least hundreds of people will lose their lives. At present, the only way to do this is to rinse the wound repeatedly with Han Wang's alcohol and wrap it in clean gauze, and for patients with fever due to wound infection, only physical cooling can barely cope with it.
Yang Keshi sat on the horse, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, looking south, the road ahead was vast, looking back to the north, full of sanitizing.
During the long journey, I kept thinking in my heart, the Jurchen was so strong! So how do you fight?
Since a hundred years ago, the Western Army has fought the party and the Liao State, and the victory or defeat is between the two sides. Now against the Jin Army, they have lost consecutive battles, and even lost all at once, what is going on?
Maybe the Western Army has weakened? But he has led the army for some years, and even if there is a regression, he will not be so unbearable. That is, the Jin Army is extremely talented, and they are all perverts at all, plus the forbidden army has repeatedly released water as pig teammates, so that the battle situation is hopeless.
The horses left along the road came with bad news, and a large number of Jurchen cavalry, at least tens of thousands, pursued from fifty miles away. Due to the extremely fast speed, according to the current speed of the Bai Qi soldiers, it is estimated that they will be caught up in another hour and a half.
Yang Keshi marked the direction on the map, and then calculated the speed. Sure enough, the Jin army would catch up in two hours, and by that time the Bai Qi soldiers were still twenty miles away from the bottle-shaped village.
This terrible twenty miles, according to the speed of the cavalry, it will take half an hour, what should I do? It is almost impossible for his own battalion of five hundred guards to withstand half an hour, so he has to find another way.
According to the usual practice on the battlefield, choose a suitable terrain and leave the old, weak, sick and disabled to snipe and pursue the enemy. Let most of the elite abandon all the burdens, travel lightly and quickly get out of the entanglement, and rush to the predetermined safe place.
Although this method is cruel, it is the helpless choice of most generals. Losing the car to protect the handsome and breaking the tail to survive is a simple arithmetic problem.
Yang Keshi could only succumb to reality, "There are more than 10,000 people in the Golden Dog who are about to catch up, and this battle is likely to be wiped out." I need at least 500 old and weak wounded soldiers to stop the golden dog here and buy half an hour for the large army. Brothers who are willing to stay, I will take care of your family! ā
This is a question of whether you die by yourself or with you, it is all death, then simply die for the righteousness.
The wounded, the old, stood up six or seven hundred people. Yang Keshi took the remaining Bai Qi soldiers and bowed deeply to them to express his gratitude.
He pointed to the woods on the slopes on the left and right sides, and laid out the battlefield. "Divide into two sides, I will leave you enough bows and arrows, and when the golden dog comes, just open the bow and release the arrows. The cavalry would not enter the woods unless they dismounted. As long as they dismount and fight, we will have a chance to escape. ā
After arranging everything, Yang Keshi continued to rush south with mixed feelings. As the sky grew darker, visibility was reduced at night, making the march difficult.
The lightly armed Baiqi soldiers increased their marching speed, and if nothing else, they could avoid being pursued by the Jin army. Rushing silently all the way, there is always a sense of aggrieved in the Bai Qi soldiers who have survived because of the sacrifice of their comrades.
When it was ugly, Yang Keshi finally rushed to the bottle-shaped village, and Li Chang, the general of the bottle-shaped village, had already heard of Yang Keshi's name, and immediately switched it on and off.
Entering the Guannei, before Yang Keshi could be happy, Li Chang threw over a piece of bad news.
"General Yang, don't you know yet? The Jurchen Western Route Army, under the leadership of Mu Han, has moved south from Daizhou, passed through Taiyuan and Liaozhou and Zhaozhou, and is now entering the territory of Zhending. ā
This Jurchen West Road military card location card is too accurate, right? There is sticky Han in the south, and there is an oblique in the north, and they escaped for a long time by themselves, but they still plunged headlong into the encirclement of the Jin army!
Yang Keshi didn't have time to scold his mother, and hurriedly inquired about the specific news. It turned out that Sticky Han came for the prosperity of Zhending Mansion, and he could cooperate with the oblique, so he was naturally happy to run.
However, they only occupy Zhending, Liulian District and Taiji Lake, and as for the surrounding villages and towns, they have not taken into account it at the moment.
There is a chance to cross Doumi Village from Zhending along Damao Mountain to the east is the territory of Yizhou. Be a little faster, and you can get through it in a day and a night. Without further ado, take a break and head out.
After less than a quarter of an hour's rest, the head of the city exclaimed, "The Jurchens are here!" (To be continued.) )
