Chapter 570: The Battle of Baishiling
Lulong, located in the northeast of Youzhou, the lower reaches of the Luanhe River, 450 miles away from Youzhou, 150 miles away from Yuguan, is the traffic point connecting Youzhou and Yuguan.\\
According to Yang Yi's order, Tang Shiyuan left 10,000 horses in Youzhou, and then rushed to Yuguan with 20,000 cavalry overnight. Yang Yi calculated many times, and the timing was extremely tight, and there was no extra time for Tang Shiyuan to rest; However, Tang Shiyuan was still a step late, and when the army arrived at Lulong, he ran into Yinshuke's 25,000 horses.
It turned out that the news of the defeat of Huixianling reached Yuguan, and the Liao general Ali Dile immediately lowered the gold, and it was called a thousand crisps; Yinshu Ke originally only had 20,000 horses, and 3,000 casualties were killed and wounded in the attack on Yuguan.
Yinshu Ke also kept rushing to Youzhou, trying to take advantage of the emptiness of Youzhou to take this Xiongcheng in one fell swoop, and he didn't expect that 20,000 Song troops would suddenly appear here, and when the scouts on both sides returned, the two armies were less than twenty miles apart.
Twenty miles, for the infantry, may have to walk halfway, but for the cavalry that is fully advancing, it only takes a pillar of incense time, and now that the two sides are relaxed, the time is even shortened by half, in fact, there is not much time for the two sides to make pre-battle preparations.
Yinshu Ke was surprised in his heart, and he couldn't understand for a while, why Song Jun suddenly appeared in Lulong, and the situation was unknown, which made him become cautious; First of all, Ali Diele's 8,000 horses have just been attached, but once the battlefield situation enters a stalemate, it is difficult to say whether Ali Diele will suddenly defect.
The second point is that he attacked Yuguan for several years, whether it was him or Ali Diele, in fact, he was tired, but time was running out, Youzhou was empty, and if he didn't take this opportunity, it would be too late for Yang Yi to return to the army, so he was not tired, and resolutely ordered to attack Youzhou.
Now that he suddenly encountered a Song army with similar troops, and the other party was also a cavalry, it was normal for Yinshu to hesitate, in order to prevent Ali Diele from defecting, Yinshu Ke sent a subordinate Brother Hao to temporarily take over the command of Ali Diele.
On the Song army's side, when Tang Shidao received the report that nearly 30,000 Jin troops appeared in front, he also hesitated, his 20,000 horses were also uncomfortable, and after leaving the Waqiao Pass, he almost never got a decent rest, and he ran for more than a thousand miles, and he was also very tired.
Seeing Tang Shiyuan's hesitation, Adjutant General Yang Pu immediately persuaded: "General, as the saying goes, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, if our army avoids battle, then morale will be discharged, there are Guangning, Luanzhou, Wangzhou, Anxi, Macheng and other prefectures and counties near Lulong, fertile fields for thousands of miles, dense smoke, as soon as our army retreats, these places will fall under the iron hooves of the Jin army; Scholar Yang calculated in every possible way, that is, he didn't want Nanjing Road to be destroyed by the war, and now we were ordered to seize Yuguan, if we couldn't achieve the task, we would be punished by military justice in the future; And the silver technique can storm the number of Yuguan, and now rushing to attack Youzhou, it must be no better than our army, and it should be defeated in one fell swoop! โ
After hearing Yang Pu's words, Tang Shiyuan also knew that he had no way to retreat, so he no longer hesitated, boosted his morale a little, and immediately waved his army to meet the attack.
The Jin army wanted to seize Youzhou, and the Song army wanted to seize Yuguan, and when they met on a narrow road, war was inevitable. The two armies met at a place called Baishiling, east of Lulong, and the war immediately began.
Strictly calculated, this is the first battle in the real sense between Song and Jin, and the strength of the two sides is slightly more than that of the Jin army, with 20,000 Song troops and 25,000 Jin troops; In terms of the main general, although Yinshu is only twenty-seven years old, he has been fighting for ten years and has a lot of experience.
Tang Shiyuan was once under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of the three passes, and Yangpu was the general of the Waqiao Pass, who once resisted the 100,000 Liao army at the end of Xiao Temo under the Waqiao Pass; At that time, the Song army dug three trenches in front of the pass, and the Liao army came to fill the trench with 10,000 horses, and when the second trench was filled, Yang Pu personally led 2,000 horses to block the Liao army's retreat with flesh and blood, and the battle was extremely tragic. It can be said that Yangpu is also an experienced veteran.
And this time it was Yang Zhi, who was more fierce than Yang Pu, who was at the forefront, and the five thousand iron cavalry met the Jin army at Baishiling under his leadership.
The forward general of the Jin army is called Po Bone, and he is also a 5,000 striker.
"The brave wins!" Yang Zhi didn't hesitate at all, with a finger of his spear, he took five thousand iron horsemen out to sea like an angry dragon and galloped away.
In terms of riding shรจ, the Jin army was undoubtedly superior to the Song army, and the two sides were close to a hundred paces, only listening to the bursts of "buzz!" The sound of the bow sounded, and countless arrows in the Jin army's array rose into the air, like a locust covering the Song army; Yang Zhi did not return fire with bows and arrows, holding a round shield, relying on Jing Liang's armor to carry this round of arrow rain, at least hundreds of horses fell to the ground with arrows, and there was a roaring impact.
Seeing that his comrades died tragically under the arrows of the Jin army, the Song soldiers gritted their teeth and followed Yang Zhi to rush forward, a hundred steps, when the cavalry of the two sides were hedging, it was only enough to release one arrow, and when the arrow was released, the reins had to be dropped, and the horse would slow down.
And Yang Zhi endured the rain of arrows and rushed wildly, the degree did not decrease but increased, and they crashed into the Jin army formation extremely fiercely, with the impact of the shock, the long horse lance did not need to stab, and the enemy could be pierced.
Yang Zhi made a rainstorm pear flower gun, crashed into the enemy formation for a moment, roared and swept out, swept off the horse of the two golden soldiers on the right, and then returned the gun, a staggered golden soldier on the left was hit by the tail of the gun on the waist, and shook the fall with a miserable howl, before he fell off the horse, and then the rushing Song army long knife cut off, and cut off one of his heads, and the blood spurted out wildly, flying like rain.
In this kind of battle of narrow road encounters, there is not too much yin conspiracy, there is no ring of arrangement, the fight is who is more strong, who is more afraid of death, and the bravery of the generals is very important in such a war.
Yang Zhi was originally a soldier of the Western Army, and was selected by Yang Yi into the special combat team because of his martial arts, and had the nickname of "Yang Yanei". After the fall of Western Xia, Yang Zhi was assigned by Yang Yi to lead hundreds of people to defect to Chang Zhidi, and fought with Chang Zhidi for many years, and became one of the most powerful generals under Chang Zhidi because of his great military exploits.
This expedition, Yang Yi naturally will not forget him, it turns out that Yang Zhi is the most ideal vanguard, the rainstorm pear flower spear is like an angry dragon dancing, stabbing again and again, where the spear reaches, there is no one alive, five thousand Song troops galloped with him like chao, ploughed out a smooth road paved with flesh and blood in the Jin army array, and finally chiseled through.
Yang Zhi has been fighting for so many years, Riri licked blood with his knife, and he was by no means able to live to this day by relying on bravery alone, and there was no lack of wit in his bravery; After chiseling through the bone-fighting forward army formation, Yang Zhi did not turn around and come back to continue entanglement, but rushed towards the middle army of the Jin army, more precisely, towards the thousands of Liao troops who had just surrendered to gold.
Previously, Yinshu Ke was worried that these thousands of people would defect, not only temporarily deprived Ali Diele of his command, but also arranged this entry horse on the left flank, half a mile away from Yinshuke's main formation.
Such a new army usually lacks the belief that it will win, and if it fights with a good wind, they will be more ruthless than anyone else, otherwise they will not be able to please their new masters; However, once encountering a strong enemy, such an army is also the most prone to collapse.
Yang Zhi calculated this point, his five thousand forwards ploughed through the bone-fighting array like a gale, with a bloody wind and rain, and immediately rushed towards this newly descended Liao army, like thunderous horses' hooves, like violent yellow dust, the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai made the seven or eight thousand Liao troops bold.
"Kill!" Yang Zhi roared again, and took the lead in rushing into the Liao army's formation, the rainstorm pear flower spear flew and danced wildly, and the first Liao to usher in him pierced the breastplate with a shot, and the whole entry was provoked, and blood sprayed Yang Zhi's body; Yang Daya shouted angrily and rushed wildly, and there was no one under his command, he was like an invincible cone, and the thousands of horses behind him followed him closely, breaking the enemy's formation bigger and bigger, and the roaring horses' hooves rushed through, and the Liao army was like a huge rag, constantly cracking to both sides.
The encounter under the White Stone Ridge looked a little strange at this time, after the forwards of both sides staggered, they all crashed headlong into the opponent's Chinese army array, as if they were divided into two battlefields; However, the Song army was much luckier, because the Song army's Chinese army was one, and after the bone-pounding forward collided, it was faced with the impact of 15,000 horses; His 5,000 horses were already pierced by Yang Zhi, the formation was scattered, and the morale was low.
And Yang Zhi was extremely cool, and after chiseling through the bone-pounding forward, he directly entered the newly surrendered Liao army with a weak will to fight; The degree of the flying dragon and the momentum of the hurricane shaking the tree, it only took two rounds to defeat the 8,000 Liao army, and Yang Zhichong's angle of killing was very particular, he was from the left flank, so the defeated Liao army could only flee to the right.
Yinshu was shocked, but the Liao army was defeated too quickly, and there was no room for Yinshu to react more, and the 8,000 defeated army had been expelled by Yang Zhi 5,000 into the horse and rushed towards his Chinese army.
Yinshu can be so anxious that his eyes are split, if he let these 8,000 routs disrupt his formation, the Jin army will be defeated, and Yinshu will have to order the Jin army to release arrows to block it; The rain of arrows that rose into the air was like hail towards the Liao army, and the Liao army, which was caught off guard, fell one by one, but the momentum of the eight thousand cavalry was so great that under the outlaw rout, the degree was no less than the charge.
Yinshu watched as the 8,000 Liao army rushed into the Jin army's main formation, Yang Zhi and their 5,000 iron cavalry roared and then entered, and for a while, the Jin army, the Liao army, and the Song army were slaughtered together.
Five thousand against fifteen thousand on the other side, and was ravaged by Yang Zhixian again, and he didn't last long, he was chased and killed by Tang Shiyuan and Yang Pu.
If you are not afraid of a tiger-like enemy, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate.
Yinshu can be a hero, and he was affected by the newly surrendered 8,000 Liao army, and he could only run away like a lost dog.
20,000 Song troops brandished swords and guns in the back, screaming and chasing and killing, 10,000 horses roared, the ground boiled, the pleasure made them forget all the fatigue, from Baishiling to Yuguan, chasing and slashing, corpses were left all over the field along the road, and there were countless descendants.
