Chapter 155
Zhao Kuangyin saw that Chai Rong's subordinates were in a passive and anxious state, so he ordered his generals to take over his command, and he led a thousand guards to Chai Rong at the city gate to assault.
After the blocking army that was forced out of the south gate by Chai Rong stabilized its position, the cavalry immediately began to bend their bows and fire volleys.
The Zhou army, who had just protruded from the city gate, was shot down in an instant, and Chai Rong, who was in it, was shot despite the protection of his personal guards.
An arrow flew through the gap between the two guards, piercing Chai Rong's armor and striking Chai Rong between his right chest and shoulder blade.
Chai Rong fell to the ground in response, and all the guards hurriedly rushed to surround Chai Rong who fell to the ground, so that the Zhou army at the south gate was even more chaotic.
Zhao Kuangyin led his guards to rush to the front along the city wall, and when he saw Chai Rong fall to the ground, he was even more frightened.
Chai Rong's personal guards saw Zhao Kuangyin rushing over, and naturally flashed a gap for him, Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly flashed in, only to see that Chai Rong was still alive, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
When Chai Rong saw Zhao Kuangyin coming, he ordered Zhao Kuangyin to take over his command and asked Zhao Kuangyin to help him up.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare to disobey, he could only act according to the order, Chai Rong supported Zhao Kuangyin's body and got up, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, I am still alive......." ”
The guards were shocked, and hurriedly closed again to cover Chai Rong.
And Chai Rong's wild cry was very likely to implicate the injury, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from his mouth, and the person passed out.
Zhao Kuangyin immediately asked Chai Rong's personal guards to retreat to the city with Chai Rong, and he took over Chai Rong's command. Ordered the Zhou army at the city gate to retreat behind the city gate, cover the broken city gate, and line up to resist.
This time. Everyone understands that the Zhou army can't hold on, and the tattered south city gate can't stop the horse's hooves of the Bu army at all, and even the arrows of the Bu army can penetrate the door and kill and injure the Zhou army.
The only use of lining up behind the city gate is to break off Chai Rong's retreat.
The soldiers of the Zhou army thanked Chai Rong for his good and silently used their lives to buy time for Chai Rong, but they were already desperate in their hearts. Gradually, the fighting spirit faded.
Zhao Kuangyin's identity and status could not really control the entire Zhou State Forbidden Army, nor could he lift up the demoralized soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and he was anxious in his eyes and heart.
And the 20,000 cavalry commanded by Chai Rong. Due to Zhao Kuangyin's departure, he was even more overwhelmed, and was forced to retreat by the Obstruction Army, and gradually fell into the encirclement of the Obstruction Army.
The situation is particularly dire. It was also at this critical moment. The large camp of the Obstruction Army to the south began to be chaotic and became more and more chaotic, until an army crossed out of the Obstruction camp.
It was the cavalry of Yunyang's First Army who finally arrived.
Yun Yang and Zheng Enbu, who were a day behind, got up an hour late because of a hangover, and did not leave the camp to pursue south until the hour.
When I arrived in Zhongning in the afternoon, I learned that the Obstruction Army had crossed the river and burned all the boats.
Immediately, Yun Yang understood the goal of blocking the Bu army, and he was shocked in his heart, after discussing with Zheng En. Zheng En agreed that his army would collect everything related to wood in the surrounding area for Yun Yang, and let Yun Yang's troops cross the river to rescue Lingzhou first.
Thereupon. The homes of the people of Zhongning in Zhou were sacked by their own army, and all the door panels, beds, window frames, tables and even benches in the homes of the people were not missing.
Not only that, but all the carpenters were recruited to make improvised instruments for crossing the river.
During the production process, Yun Yang had ordered the First Army to abandon their horses and swim across the river in a hurry, and all the soldiers went down to the river to swim to the opposite bank with a wooden plank in twos and threes.
After the soldiers crossed the river, they concentrated all the planks and transported them back, and then transported the war horses across the river in batches, and when they gathered 10,000 horses, the sky had already darkened, and Yun Yang had no choice but to let Zheng En continue to transport the war horses across the river the next morning. He had just led 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 "infantry" without war horses to Lingzhou.
In order to rush for time, Yun Yang led 10,000 cavalry first, and ordered his generals to lead 20,000 "infantry" to come later.
It was precisely because of Yun Yang's overnight rush that he arrived in time at the most critical time in Lingzhou City.
Because of the attack of Zhao Kuangyin's 20,000 cavalry, the battalion of the Obstruction Army has already drawn most of the army, and the thousands of people left behind can withstand the charge of Yunyang's 10,000 cavalry, and after the chaos, it collapsed instantly.
The commander of the Obstruction Army was afraid in his heart, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat to the north.
Only the thousands of obstruction troops lagging behind at the south gate were annihilated by the charging Yunyang cavalry, and the thousands of obstruction troops that were stuck between the west gate and the Xiang Training Department were surrounded and annihilated by Zhao Kuangyin after cutting off the retreat from the south gate to the west gate.
There are still more than 50,000 troops in the blocking army that fled north, Yun Yang looked at the demoralized Zhou army, and sighed in his heart, he only had 10,000 cavalry around him who had been exhausted after driving all night, and he could not pursue at all, so he could only meet with Zhao Kuangyin's troops, stationed outside Lingzhou City, and waited for the 20,000 "infantry" behind him to meet with Zheng En's troops carrying war horses.
When Yun Yang learned the news of Chai Rong's injury in this battle from Zhao Kuangyin's mouth, he was shocked, and immediately took the military doctor to Chai Rong to visit, and only after seeing it did he breathe a sigh of relief, Chai Rong's arrow wound did not hurt the vital point, the arrow hit the middle of the right chest and shoulder blade, did not hurt the internal organs, after treatment, he should be free to die, mainly after Chai Rong was injured, he struggled to stabilize his morale and shouted loudly, which affected the wound, and then vomited blood and fell into a coma.
Chai Rong was weak, so he just raised his jaw to Yunyang, but Yun Yang didn't dare to disturb him, so he retreated.
After withdrawing, Yun Yang returned to the camp and immediately sent someone to report the battle to Jinling Mansion.
……。
The negotiations between Dading Fuming and Liao were quite difficult, because Yelujing had not yet realized that Liao's national strength had declined, and from Liao's habitual thinking, Yelujing believed that the concessions made by Liao were enough in this peace talks.
The bottom line that Baili Wuji handed over to Feng Dao and others was to take the Huang River as the boundary, and the two countries would rule by rowing the river. However, Yelujing insisted on taking the line of Dading Mansion and Liaoyang Mansion as the Ming Dynasty and the tentative border between Liao.
For Shen and Tongzhou, which had already been occupied by Bailikang, Yelujing's idea was a bit funny. It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want to get what has been lost on the battlefield at the negotiating table.
Baili Yi did not give face to his wife, Jeruzara, who had come to negotiate, because the middle section of the Huang River had been filled in by Yelu Xiuge's catapults and soldiers, he ordered more than 60,000 new troops, Chen Yanzheng's troops, and Xu Shouren's troops to escort thousands of artillery pieces north through here.
