Seeing Li Chongjiu's cavalry attacking his flank, Song Jingang immediately adjusted his position, and each ordered the three hundred Erlang troops to step forward left and right to stabilize their positions.

The so-called stepping on the white is the selection of the front, and there have always been examples of the Sui army calling the people who dare to die as the white army. In addition to the arm crossbow, there are also stepping on the white army and the crossbow, and even the waist crossbow, which are all sophisticated equipment taken from the arsenal after capturing the county seat of Yixian, which are only available to the regular Sui military. In particular, the waist crossbow requires the soldiers to sit on the ground and open the crossbow with the strength of their arms, feet and waist, and the firing range can reach more than 300 steps.

Seeing the appearance of the crossbow, it was enough for the cavalry to take a look, and they would never test the arrows with their bodies, and they turned their horses and retreated.

"The enemy has finally retreated, Marshal." The generals rejoiced.

Song Jingang smiled, and at this time, a rear army general rode his horse and said: "Tell the commander, on the left flank of our army, we found enemy cavalry, there are as many as a thousand horsemen. ”

Song Jingang changed color slightly when he heard this, and then another person came and said: "There are also cavalry in the rear of our army, and the return route to Yi County will be cut off!" ”

"What?" Song Jingang was shocked, and the retreat was cut off, which was a great blow to the morale of the army in this era.

"Marshal, the right flank has found the main force of the enemy, and there are more than 3,000 cavalry!"

Song Jingang waved his robe, got into the royal car at the moment, and came to the right flank of the army to look, only to see the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the enemy cavalry was haunted by a team in the east and a column in the west, like a marquee, I don't know what kind of fame I am making. Song Jingang and the generals were all pondering, but the Song soldiers were not very flustered, they all firmly planted their shields on the ground, and held bows and crossbows to guard strictly.

"Marshal, enemy cavalry has appeared in front and behind, on the left and right flanks, doesn't it mean that our army has been surrounded by enemy cavalry on all sides?"

"Joke, the art of war has ten rules to surround it, Li Chongjiu has a maximum of 10,000 cavalry, how can he surround my legion from all sides."

"However, Li Chongjiu's troops are all cavalry, and if we advance in any direction, they can immediately mobilize their forces in advance, make up for the lack of troops with mobility, take the lead in interception, and can take advantage of the weak flanks and rear of our army to attack at any time."

Although the Song army has 10,000 soldiers, except for the 3,000 armored Erlang army and 3,000 regular soldiers, the remaining 5,000 people are auxiliary soldiers, and it is impossible to be on guard in all directions. Hearing this, Song Jingang's body was shocked, and he suddenly clenched the knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Li Chongjiu, is this the tactic you thought of dealing with me Song Jingang?" ”

On the hillside not far from Song Jingang's 10,000 army, Li Chongjiu, Gao Chu, and Wei Chigong were all standing on the hillside watching the battle. From the hillside, Song Jingang's 10,000 foot soldiers were arranged in a phalanx close together, like a stack of quilts, only a small piece, but on the other hand, Li Chongjiu's cavalry was scattered in all directions, and it seemed that there were 100,000 people around Song Jingang's army.

Li Chongjiu said: "The cavalry is called a clutch soldier, the so-called hundred horsemen surround, can wrap thousands of people, thousands of horses can be divided, can be a hundred miles, and we have ten thousand horses here." ”

In history, the Jurchens did not often claim to be invincible. It's just that the current Jurchens, called the Yan Ya, are still hunting with primitive horn bows and arrows in the bitter cold land of Heilongjiang, not to mention the fierce Anmouke, and now they are still in the primitive clan stage, which is more backward than the Xi people and the Khitan alliance clan stage, far from smelting iron, how to talk about training to strengthen the army. However, Li Chongjiu's 10,000 cavalry is different, the cavalry made of the army is not inferior to Meng'an Mouke, and it is also replaced with iron equipment.

"Surrounded by a hundred horses, you can wrap thousands of people, a thousand horses can be divided, you can make a hundred miles," Gao Chu read it twice, and said with great understanding, "That's right, Khan, Song Jingang's 10,000 foot soldiers are actually surrounded by us." ”

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "Song Jingang is not incompetent, my 10,000 cavalry can't surround him." ”

Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, Gao Chu showed a stunned look and asked, "Taishou, since you don't surround him, why do you set up this formation to surround him." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "That's me waiting for Song Jingang to send troops." ”

At this time, there was a light snow in the sky, Li Chongjiu tightened the big snow behind him, walked down the hill, and the soldiers on the side offered a few skin bags of mare's milk wine, Li Chongjiu said to Wei Chigong, Gao Chu said: "Come, drink this wine, this weather is very cold, and the grassland people rely on this to warm their bodies, but they can't drink more." ”

Wei Chigong, Gao Chu listened to it, and they all took the skin and drank it bitterly.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums in the distance sounded again, and the Song character handsome flag was pulled forward, and Song Jingang's army advanced again with the general flag. The Song army marched in a tight formation, although it was not a drop of water, but it was greatly sacrificed in speed, and only moved forward a little. Seeing this, Li Chongjiu's cavalry did not touch the phalanx of Song army's infantry soldiers with strong crossbow equipment, and always kept a distance from the enemy army, so that they did not dare to advance lightly.

Wei Chigong and Gao Chu could see that as long as Li Chongjiu's cavalry was always swimming in front, the infantry of the Song army always maintained a slow speed because they were wary of the enemy charging into battle, so it was safe to worry, but at this speed, even if they walked for ten days, they would not be able to reach Fanyang and relieve the siege of the city.

Li Chongjiu stood on the hill with great determination, looking at the enemy army.

Two hours had passed, the sun had set on the western hills, and Song Jingang's army had been advancing slowly, but the rear of the flank was constantly attacked by Li Chongjiu's army. Although it was strictly guarded and the casualties were not large, in two hours, the whole army actually only advanced one mile.

Taiyuan gradually sank westward, Song Jingang looked back, the camp repaired last night was still in his eyes, and today during the day, his 10,000 horses only advanced less than five miles.

Song Jingang waved on the royal chariot at the moment and said: "The cavalry assaults forward and breaks the siege for me." ”

As Song Jingang's voice fell, the Song army had already prepared a thousand armor horses, that is, all ready. These cavalrymen were all sharp soldiers in the Erlang army, and their whole bodies were covered with iron armor, helmets, and even leather equipment. They held bows and crossbows, mounted their horses with horizontal swords, and after the cavalry general gave an order, the front foot soldiers scattered through the opening, and the Song cavalry rushed out of the gap.

Seeing the cavalry of the Song army bravely stepped forward, Li Chongjiu's cavalry in front of him retreated one after another, but this retreat was not an ordinary retreat, but the cavalry pulled the horse and retreated, while taking arrows on the horse and shooting back.

The cavalry of the Song army are all covered with armor, and it is categorically not as convenient as Li Chongjiu's cavalry with bows and crossbows, but they still grit their teeth and shoot at the horse's buttocks, and although Li Chongjiu's cavalry is diffuse, they often shoot an arrow, and the cavalry of the Song army somehow stepped forward and hit an arrow.

The cavalry of the Song army was covered with armor, but they couldn't resist shooting while retreating, and some simply rushed up with their heads, wanting to win in close combat with the solidity of their armor, but Li Chongjiu's cavalry didn't give you a chance to catch up anyway, and retreated while fighting. It is precisely because you do not come to pursue, the cavalry is projected from a long distance, and if you come to pursue, I will fight and flee. Now the cavalry of the Song army are all eyes almost ready to breathe fire, there are a few brave horses rushed to the front several times, all of them were shot over, most of the situation is not able to hit, just buried in pursuit, but the enemy is shot down one by one.

Song Jingang was relying on the impact of the cavalry, and the foot soldiers were striding forward for about half a mile, but at this time, he found that the cavalry he sent to pursue was being circled by Li Chongjiu's cavalry, which was fighting and retreating.

Song Jingang was suddenly shocked, he thought that with his cavalry, even if he was defeated by the enemy, he would not be defeated, but he was surprised to find that his cavalry had fallen into the trap of the enemy. At that moment, Song Jingang immediately ordered Ming Jin to order his armored cavalry to retreat, but at this time, several cavalry of the Cangtou Army outflanked and cut off the retreat of his cavalry. At the same time, in all directions, Li Chongjiu's cavalry launched raids and raids against the foot soldiers of Song Jingang's army.

This all-out attack caught Song Jingang off guard, and he could only order his foot soldiers to hold on to their positions, unable to step forward to support the cavalry, and watched his subordinates being surrounded.

When the Song cavalry broke out of the encirclement and returned to their own phalanx, they lost 300 cavalry, which was simply an unbearable loss for his few cavalry. Song Jingang watched, the enemy dragged his own cavalry with horses, collected a qiē from the corpse, first iron armor, then a bow, and a horizontal knife, that look like a groundhog really wanted to strip the corpse to the ground, and finally picked up the iron arrowhead all over the ground.

"Set up camp!" Song Jingang held back his anger and decided to set up a big camp first.

But at this time, even if the camp was established, the grassland cavalry did not give Song Jingang a good chance to camp, when the trench was being dug, the cavalry did not come up to harass it, saw the tent of the Song army, and used rockets together, projectile from afar, although the fire was immediately extinguished, but the tent was also inadvertently a few more small holes.

At night, the enemy could not sleep, and the rumbling of horses' hooves and trumpets outside the tent did not stop for a moment. You must know that the soldiers of the Song army all suffer from night blindness, and there is no light pollution in this era, so when it comes to moonless nights, it is really dark, and everyone is almost blind at night, but the grassland cavalry mostly eats meat on weekdays, so the probability of getting night blindness is very low. At night, the night vigil soldiers of the Song Army, leaning on a few oil lamps, each like a night owl, stared wide-eyed, looking around, but the line of sight was no more than ten meters away.

At night, all kinds of attacks on the camp and harassment were non-stop all night, not to mention the heavy snow falling one after another, and the Song army, who simply set up tents, almost spent a night in the bitter cold.
