Section 10 Battle of Chang'an (3)

"The virtual road, from the book will be. With 700 men in his headquarters, he struck his right flank first and attracted his attention. It's up to the two of you to do the real way. Zhang Zhongyan, you lead 900 men of your army, set out later, and after the focus of the defense of his cavalry and infantry is attracted to our army, and when my signal is given, he will take advantage of the weakness and quickly launch an offensive on his left flank.

"Zhang Zhongfu, your 800 people are postponed to Xu Xing, don't worry about the general. If Zhang Zhongyan's attack encounters resistance, you can add to it and strengthen the offensive. If Zhang Zhongyan's raid is successful, you can improvise and postpone the response, or you can join the raid. There must be a one, to ensure that at the same time, the horse pedals on the battalion. ”

The two people sent out by Liu Qi were Zhang Zhongfu and Zhang Zhongyan's brothers. Zhang Zhongyan and Li Yanqi were together in Jinli Mountain to block the Jin soldiers, and when Li Yanqi was defeated, he gave up the responsibility of receiving and led his headquarters to flee back to Fuping.

When Liu Qi arrived in Fuping, Zhang Zhongyan concealed the fact that he had abandoned Li Yanqi, and only said that the army was defeated in Jinli Mountain. Liu Qi does not doubt that he has him, and he is still entrusted with important tasks.

They are not to be without their commanders. Zhang Zhongyan and Liu Qi's qualifications were far inferior to Liu Qi's, so although Liu Qi's troops were the least numerous, Hu Yangeng still assigned him as the chief general.

Zhang Zhongyan and Zhang Zhongfu hugged their fists to receive the order.

When he had given the order, he took the reins, and the horse under his crotch spun twice in place, lifted his two front legs, and threw his head back and neighed. He looked awe-inspiring, glanced at Zhang Zhongyan and Zhang Zhongfu, hugged his fists slightly, and said briefly: "Hundreds of miles of attack, success or failure, in one move." The two generals, Ben will be one step ahead. ”

In this way, Liu Qi went all the way to the place where the golden soldiers gathered. The huge camp of the golden soldiers was in the distance, like a towering beast sleeping soundly.

He galloped out, stretched out his hand to the left and right, and shouted, "Flag come!" ”

Two personal soldiers handed over the two banners of the Jiedu envoy and the Jingluo envoy handed down by Liu Zhongwu, he held one in one hand, swept the red flag, and rushed out of the forest with seven hundred cavalry roaring in the night.

The haste of the battle cannot but boost morale. Liu Qi waved his flag sideways and asked the cavalrymen who followed him in a loud voice: "Children, do you remember the situation when Lao Jiedu went on the expedition?" ”

"Yes."

"How?" He asked and answered to himself, and shouted loudly, "But there is a dragon city flying general, and Hu Ma will not be taught to Yin Mountain." ”

The red flag was unfurled, and the wind swept the trees, undulating like waves. Hundreds of people galloped in the wind, thousands of horses galloped along the road, swords flapping armor. They shouted in unison, and the sound of killing almost overwhelmed the sound of the torrent, startling the birds and resounding through the night sky.

Liu Qi handed the two flags in one hand to the guards beside him, took off his spear himself, and held it in his hand. With the sound of horses' hooves, the front saddle was struck with the barrel of a gun. He rode very well, he didn't need to control the reins, and he galloped steadily.

He wanted to boost the morale of the soldiers, and the shouts of the soldiers first lifted his spirits, and he roared impassionedly and heroically: "But there are dragon city flying generals, and Hu Ma Du Yin Mountain is not taught." ”

Hundreds of cavalry drew their sabers together, controlled the reins with one hand, struck the front saddle, and chanted in unison: "But there is a dragon city flying general, don't teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain."

"Take away its Qilian Mountain, so that its six animals will not rest; and take away the mountains of their branches, so that their women have no color. ”

The camp of the Jin soldiers was already close in front of him, and Liu Qi raised his gun and shouted: "Feng Hou will worship in this dynasty, children, come with me." ”

His left and right followers were hoarse, almost roaring, and his face turned red, and the shouts of killing were accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves galloping, which was very agitating. It aroused the enthusiasm of 700 people.

As Liu Qi speculated, Jin Ying was really not prepared for defense.

The Jin soldiers and cavalry who rushed up to meet had never seen the enemy singing to fight, the song like rolling thunder, the indomitable impact, even if they couldn't understand Chinese, they couldn't help but be shocked and timid. The two armies approached, Liu Qi waved his spear, and the momentum of the mount did not decrease, and it instantly crashed into the enemy formation more than ten meters.

An officer of the golden soldier stabbed with a spear, Liu Qi dodged to dodge, and the spear was sent, along the gap in his armor, inserted into it, but when he pulled it out, it was blocked.

Both were on horseback, and the side horses were crossed. Liu Qi simply let go of his hand, threw away the spear, and stretched out his back hand, "Knife." The guard handed over the long knife.

Liu Qi confronted another enemy and slashed them down under the ground with a single sword. The man didn't have time to get up, and watched as he was trampled on by the hooves of countless horses that rushed after him, and he screamed half-loudly, and died of exhaustion.

The 700 people led by Liu Qi were all Liu Zhongwu's veterans. The golden cavalry that came out was not elite.

Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Liduo will meet here, there are tens of thousands of people on both sides, and the Jurchen Hezha Meng'an will not be placed on the outermost periphery, Liu Qi took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Jin soldiers, rushed into the camp, and the first thing he met was to belong to the Han army, Liu Qi rushed into battle three times in a row, and the four or five hundred cavalry of the Jin soldiers suffered nearly 100 casualties, and they were scattered and fled.

In less than half an hour of engagement, Liu Qi's 700 cavalry also lost twenty or thirty casualties. He raised his banner high, rode back, and took the rest of the men in a circle, re-increasing the speed of his mount as fast as he could, and rushed straight to the camp where the golden soldiers had stored grain and grass.

Running closer, he looked up, and his heart jumped.

When the battle was raging, he noticed that the Jin soldiers' camp had not lit torches, and it was pitch black. At this time, a fire suddenly ignited. The soaring flames jumped high and lit up for miles outside the camp. Strong bows and crossbows, stone cannons and spears, lined up in the camp.

If you attack, you will inevitably face a rain of arrows and stones, and the losses will be very large. However, if you don't storm the place where you can't store grain, and use 700 cavalry to meet the two divisions of Wanyan Liduo and Wanyan Wushu, it will be like a stone thrown into the sea.

The thought raced through his head. One of his cronies came up and said hurriedly: "Jinglu, taking advantage of the time when our army is engaged with the other cavalry, Suo Lu is already prepared. If our army attacks at this time, the casualties will be too great. This cavalry is basically the only thing in our army. ,......

Liu Qizu has been a general for several generations, and it reached its peak in Liu Zhongwu's generation, but the Northern Expedition to Yanyun consumed the descendants of the Liu family, and these 700 people are indeed almost the only elite of his descendants. Liu Qi was categorical and said, "There is no need to say more. Then you shall take a hundred men and guard my rear against the return of the cavalry. In today's battle, if you don't win, you will die. ”

"Warp!"

Liu Qi whipped his horse, rolled up the main force, faced the bows and arrows of the Jin soldiers, changed his position, chose the position where the bow and arrow could not shoot, and charged against the current. Repeat several times. As the night faded, the Jin soldiers' firepower became more and more fierce. Liu Qi couldn't remember the first few attacks, but he remembered that he changed the direction of his attacks at least four times, and on two occasions, he almost broke into the camp.

He wiped his sweaty face and counted silently again. There were more and more golden soldiers on the barracks, and there were about thirty trebuchets. Strong bows and crossbows spread all over the right flank of the camp.

The dawn dawns in the east, and the sky is about to dawn.

As soon as the morning dawned, the whereabouts of Zhang Zhongfu and Zhang Zhongyan were about to be exposed in front of Jin Bing's eyes. Liu Qi knew that there was no longer a delay. That's all he can do. Of the 700 cavalry, nearly 300 have been killed so far, nearly half. He finally stretched out his hand: "Put the signal!" ”

Ringing and rockets, soaring into the sky.

He glanced to the side, and the golden cavalry, which had been recuperating for a long time, scattered into an arc, quietly outflanking and approaching. After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, even if many of his subordinates were one man and two horses, they were about to be overwhelmed. Liu Qi held the flag in his hand tightly, clamped his legs, urged Zhao Yebai, looked back and shouted: "It's time to donate your body on the battlefield!" ”

Ignoring the encirclement of the enemy's cavalry, he once again charged the camp of the golden soldiers. Not only to assist Zhang Zhongfu, but also for their own lives. If Liu Qi could not succeed in rushing through the camp, with his hundreds of casualties, even if he left now, he would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the Jin soldiers.

Zhang Zhongfu did not disappoint him.

Liu Qi's charge regardless of life and death completely confused Jin Bing. Rao Wanyan Liduo had been in battle for a long time, and he had never seen such a desperate one, and he concluded that this was the Song cavalry making a desperate bet. Go deep behind enemy lines, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. Now that you've been discovered, you're going to give it a go.

Therefore, not only did most of the large defensive equipment of the Jin soldiers be transferred to the right flank of the camp, but only one Meng'an was sent to encircle and suppress Liu Qi.

The line of defense on the left flank was extremely empty and unprepared. Zhang Zhongfu was simply overwhelmed, and he declared success after two charges.

The cavalry of the 900 Song Army, like a tiger and a leopard, viciously pounced into the Jin barracks, rushing left and right, rockets fired indiscriminately, and temporarily lit torches were thrown everywhere. Seeing that the general trend had been decided, Zhang Zhongyan divided 200 people, went over to meet Liu Qi, left 200 people for backup, and personally led the remaining 400 people, and then rushed in.

Gan Ning's hundred horsemen can still rob Wei Ying's chickens and dogs, not to mention the two brothers of the Zhang family with 1,700 cavalry. The gallop is very powerful. The left wing of the Jin soldiers cried wolf howls, and the soldiers disturb each other, like headless flies, fleeing from east to west. Rockets and torches lit the tabernacle, and smoke billowed from the flames. Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Liduo both went to the right flank of the entire camp to watch the battle, but no one was sitting here, and the left flank soon fell into a rout.

The rout on the left flank led to the instability of the Chinese army, and the instability of the Chinese army led to the commotion on the right flank. The turmoil in the front camp followed the panic in the rear camp. Out of control.

But after talking about Yan Wushu, he knew that he had fallen for Liu Qi's scheme. He hurriedly abandoned the right flank, rushed to the left flank, and beheaded several fleeing officers in succession, trying to organize a defense, but the chaos had become a reality, and he could not suppress it by all means. There were 20,000 troops on the left flank, which could not withstand 1,000 cavalry.

Liu Qi saw that the left flank of the camp was in chaos, so he left the camp of the Jin soldiers and killed in the direction of the fire.

More than 2,000 cavalry galloped across the Jin barracks, and Liu Qi suddenly saw a group of Tiefu Tu surrounded by a heavy armor Jin soldier general.
