Even if Huaidong invested 50,000 soldiers and horses in the hinterland of Jingxiang, in the entire Jingxiang battlefield, it did not completely change the comparison of the forces invested by the two sides, and the real killer was the Chai Shan soldiers and horses stabbing into the hinterland of Jingxiang, which would completely defeat the military deployment of the enemy army in Jingxiang.

Even if a few enemy generals such as Hao Wenzhuang, Chen Zhihu, and Su Tingzhan had a glimpse of the significance of the Huaidong Army, they did not have the ability to adjust the deployment of troops and horses on the northern and southern fronts in time to deal with the current crisis.

No matter how many soldiers and horses the enemy army has, once the formation is chaotic and falls into an irrepressible panic, the final fate is only to calmly disperse and eat the well-planned Huaidong Army.

This is the case with the defenders of Suizhou City, and the same is true for the reinforcements from Shicheng.

After Su Tingzhan received Xiangyang's aid in Shicheng, he sent his deputy general Suo Chengdong to lead 3,000 cavalry to aid Fancheng at noon on the 20th.

On the 21st and the corner of the day, Suo Chengdong led his troops to the area of Longzui Mountain, about 30 miles southeast of Fancheng, which was less than 20 miles away from the Baihetan camp set up by Azig on the outskirts of Fancheng.

Suo Chengdong only needed to add a little more force to meet up with Azig's soldiers and horses at Baihe Beach, but he didn't expect that on the other side of Longzui Mountain, the Huaidong cavalry had entered.

Before the afternoon of the 19th, Sun Zhuang led 5,000 cavalry from Lishan, bypassed Suizhou City, and galloped westward non-stop, only half an hour ahead of Suo Chengdong to enter the eastern foot of Longzui Mountain.

Sun Zhuang's troops had the advantage, but they traveled 400 miles in two days; And Suo Chengdong's troops are at a disadvantage, but they can only travel two hundred miles in one day and one night, so it can be said that they are not at a disadvantage as a whole.

However, the most important thing is that Suo Chengdong was bent on rushing to the aid of Fancheng, and he did not consider that Huaidong also hid ambushes in Jingxiang, and did not even release a long outpost on the other side of Longzui Mountain. Cao Ziang had an accurate judgment in advance on the strength of Shicheng to aid Fancheng, the timing of the attack, and the route of travel, and a large number of scouts were deployed on this route to monitor the movement of Shicheng's reinforcements at any time.

Suo Chengdong was unaware of the Huaidong reinforcements coming from the east; And before Sun Zhuang entered Longzui Mountain, he knew that he would meet three thousand enemy horsemen in Longzui Mountain. Either fight or conced, or stay overnight, bypass the camp from the Azig Baihe River beach and enter Fancheng, and the initiative to join forces with Huang Zuyu and Zhou Bin is in the hands of Sun Zhuang.

Although Chen Jige had gathered reinforcements from Xinye, Zhongyi and other cities, and gathered more than 8,000 soldiers and horses on the Baihe Beach on the north bank of the Han River, his vision was firmly attracted to Fancheng. From Baihetan to the north, there is a gap dozens of miles wide, which can be asked to sneak over and enter Fancheng after nightfall and join Huang Zuyu and them.

The scouts of the Huaidong Army were scattered on the hill that was not very dangerous in Longzuizui, monitoring the two small groups of enemy scouts who entered the western foot from the south. These two small groups of enemy horsemen came quickly, and they also quickly waded through the slope ditch at the western foot of Longzui Mountain; Almost ten miles away, it was the main force of Shicheng led by Suo Chengdong to aid the enemy, and 3,000 horsemen scattered to gallop, confined to the river valley sandwiched between the east bank of the Han River and the southern foot of Longzui Mountain.

The river valley on the west side of Longzui Mountain is very open, almost ten miles deep; Longzui Mountain itself is far from precipitous, the western slope is a gently undulating hill, with sparse dense woods and barren and dry fields overgrown with artemisia grass.

Three thousand cavalry galloped through, almost filling the space within a radius of nearly ten miles, which was even more spectacular than the crossing of 10,000 foot soldiers.

It's just that this group of enemy cavalry didn't realize that at the eastern foot of the long ridge separated from them, the 5,000 generals of the 3rd Brigade of the Huaidong Cavalry Battalion were seizing time to rest in the woods and recover their strength.

When he set out from Lishan, Sun Zhuang had 5,000 men and 8,000 horses. Walking in a hurry in front and in a hurry, and walking slowly in the back is to save physical strength by considering the possibility of encountering the enemy. Even so, by this time, more than a thousand horses had run away.

At this time, it is necessary to further single out the horses that are not physically strong.

Cavalry combat, more scattered than foot soldiers, especially the field impact enemy cavalry, the formation will be more scattered, but the physical requirements for the war horse are higher, in order to ensure sufficient impact force, to temporarily draw out two sharp knife teams as the vanguard.

"Do you want to beat these turtle grandchildren, or give these turtle grandchildren a chance to escape to Xinye?" Sun Zhuang stopped at the dragon general Chen Daozi and other generals to come over and discuss countermeasures.

When the true strength of the Shibayama ambush was revealed, the enemy soldiers at Baihetan were likely to flee directly to Xinye to the north once they realized that it was impossible to have enough time to recapture Fancheng.

Everyone knows that no matter how beautiful the battle of Jingxiang is, it is impossible to annihilate the enemy army in Jingxiang without letting a single fish slip through the net. It's just that the three thousand enemy horsemen in front of him were able to escape, and Chen Daozi and other generals were unwilling.

"Beat him, mother," Chen Daozi cut down with his hand, and replied very simply, "These turtle grandsons, there are more than 6,000 horses in 3,000 cavalry, and they are unwilling not to fight down!" He didn't care much about how many enemy soldiers he killed or wounded, and he coveted more than 6,000 war horses in front of him.

"I know that your turtle son is hungry for war horses," Sun Zhuang scolded Chen Daozi and said, "You don't want to defeat the enemy soldiers in Baihetan together, just defeat Shicheng to aid the enemy, and have a fart time to catch horses all over the battlefield?" ”

Tang Xitai, who rushed to the aid with Sun Zhuang, asked, "Is it possible to defeat the enemy army at Baihe Beach together?" Azig built camps on both sides of the Baihe beach mainly to prevent Huang Zuyu from the west and they counterattacked from Fancheng, and only dug a long trench west of the river beach, and the defense in the east was relatively weak; They didn't expect more troops to come from the east......"

"If Huang Zuyu can go out of Fancheng to attack Baihe Beach, he should be able to fight him unprepared and eat these turtle grandsons in the meatloaf," Chen Daozi rubbed his hands and said, "It's just that the enemy of Shicheng is about to pass through when he sees it, and we don't have time to send someone to sneak to Fancheng to inform Huang Zuyu to send troops." ”

"It's not that we can't fight," Sun Zhuang touched his chin and said, "Let's let the enemy of Shicheng go over first, and we will attack from behind, and after defeating them, we will bite the rout army and attack the enemy base on Baihetan......"

Sun Zhuang led all light cavalry, and it was very dangerous for light cavalry to attack a well-guarded camp.

No matter how weak the defense of the enemy's camp is, even if it is just a fence wall, only if you can set up two more rejecting horses in front of the fence in advance, and form a spear formation with foot soldiers behind the fence, supplemented by large shields and crossbows, you can effectively block the direct impact of the cavalry.

Once the speed of the cavalry is suppressed, it is extremely difficult to break through the infantry formation and barracks, and the casualties are unimaginable.

Since the seventeen or eighteen miles past Longzui Mountain is the enemy camp of Baihetan, Sun Zhuang wants to let the enemy cavalry of 3,000 Shicheng pass through Longzui Mountain first, and he leads his troops to attack this enemy army from the tail and defeat it, but pursues and kills the rout, so that the rout army will attack the enemy camp on Baihetan, so that even if Baihetan has built a defensive formation, it will first meet the impact of his own rout; After following the rout, they rushed into the enemy camp at Baihetan and overturned the enemy soldiers outside Fancheng in one fell swoop, so that Huang Zuyu of Fancheng did not need to cooperate.

Of course, there are dangers in doing so. If you can't run down more than ten miles in one go and directly enter the enemy camp on the White River Beach, you will fail to step on the camp; Even if they can be evacuated and disengaged in time, the casualties will be difficult to control.

"Whoever beats him and his mother, you can't let Huang Zuyu and Zhou Blind take advantage of the two balls." Chen Daozi said, he became excited, and the two blood marks on his face jumped, which was extremely hideous and fierce. Obviously, if they enter Fancheng as planned to join Huang Zuyu and Zhou Blind, even if they succeed in holding Fancheng and blockading the front line of Fancheng, their combat achievements will be much inferior, how can he be willing?

****************

Baixi is a river that flows into the Hanshui River from the mountains of Zaoyang Nanqiu in the south, with more than ten miles of twists and turns, and both banks are fertile. Because there is white calcium stone on the riverbed in the upper reaches of the stream, it is named Baixi. When this river joins the Han River, the river beach on both sides is two miles wide, but it is already the early winter season at this time, the stream water is dry and thin, and the surface of the flowing water is only ten zhang wide, and the water depth is not more than the belly of a horse, and the rocky beach on both sides is full of artemisia grass and reeds that can be topped.

This is the case with all rivers in the world, if there are no natural cliffs and artificial embankments on both sides, the river water in the plain area will overflow to the flat land on both sides without constraint. The further downstream you go, the wider the river beach becomes, the slower the water flow and the more serious the sediment accumulation, resulting in the shallower the water level.

The upper reaches of the Han River are sandwiched by the steep hills and mountains on both sides, the narrowest place of the upstream is only more than 100 zhang, the water depth is more than 10 zhang, after arriving at Xiangyang, the river is only five or six hundred steps, and the channel is nearly three zhang deep after winter; But further downstream, especially after Zhong Yi, the banks on both sides of the river suddenly opened up, increasing by more than seven or eight times. On the one hand, the river water is spread out, on the other hand, the flow of water slows down, and the sand accumulation is serious, so that the water depth suddenly becomes shallow, and even the warships with a load of one or two thousand stones must be careful to avoid colliding with the underwater dark sand. Such a small tributary of the White River is even more unbearable.

Azig did not entangle with Huaidong, who attacked Fancheng, at the iron pile wharf, but withdrew to the mouth of the Baihe River, eleven or twelve miles east of Fancheng, burned the artemisia grass and reeds on the river beaches on both sides, and built two bases in the east and west, waiting for reinforcements to come and meet.

As Tang Xitai said, Azig mainly guarded against the Huaidong army in Fancheng from going out of the city to counterattack, so he dug a long trench in front of the west base to increase the defense; The eastern base was much more rudimentary, with a tree fence as a camp to receive reinforcements from the east bank of the Han River. In addition, Azig erected two pontoon bridges on the water surface of the estuary, which was more than ten zhang wide, connecting the east and west camps.

The naval forces of Nanzhang, Zhongyi, Xinye, Zaoyang and Baiyangguan were the closest to Xiangyang, and although the garrison was small, they accumulated a lot, and the reinforcements who rushed to Baihetan and the soldiers and horses transferred by Azig from Xiangyang City on the south bank added up to 8,000 people.

At this time, Jingmen still had 3,000 reinforcements into Xiangyang City, which was controlled by the deputy general Tong Ruilin, and made up the iron pile wharf from the pontoon bridge and the river crossing to attack the Qiaodu area in the south of Fancheng City.

Azig stood on the watchtower of the Dongtan camp, and the three thousand reinforcements from Shicheng had already entered his field of vision. At this time, the three thousand reinforcements slowed down and spread out in the field, almost filling the field of vision, which made Azig breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Shen Haobo, the prefect of Xiangyang: "There is no response from Wuyang Leng Zilin, but when the three thousand reinforcements from Miyang arrive tomorrow, we can attack Fancheng......" In his opinion, it is only a matter of time before Fancheng is recaptured and the grain route is restored.

Shen Haobo also thought that this was the case: with the reinforcements from Shicheng and the reinforcements sent by Tu'an from Miyang, the total number of troops that Azig could call on in Xiangyang would reach more than 18,000 people, and he was already capable of attacking under Fancheng City to launch a counterattack, at least it was possible to take down the relatively weakly defended Qiaodu area first, so as to prevent Huaidong from attacking the enemy dog and jumping over the wall to knock down the bridgehead and burn the pontoon bridge.

According to the two days and one night that have passed since the fall of Fancheng, Azig and Shen Haobo are still full of desire to keep the Hanshui pontoon bridge connecting Xiangyang and Fancheng.

Seeing that the outpost of Shicheng reinforcements had arrived in front of the camp, Azig ordered the camp gate to be opened, preparing to welcome the reinforcements from Shicheng into the eastern base. At this time, several people from Xilei crossed the pontoon bridge and walked to this side, rushed to the watchtower at the gate of the camp, saluted Azig and said, "The king of Ruzhou has an urgent letter that General Nahe needs to read......

There was no response from Wuyang, but Chen Zhihu in Queshan sent a letter to gallop to Xiangfan?

Azig asked the guards to take Chen Zhihu's letter to the watchtower, opened it and looked at it, only to feel ridiculous, handed the letter to Shen Haobo, and said: "The king of Ruzhou is really worried, he even said that tens of thousands of elites in Huaidong in Luzhou have entered Jingxiang, and he wants us to immediately divide our troops and retreat to Xiangyang and Xinye, and I can't even go to Zaoyang, and I want to destroy the pontoon bridge." Lord Shen, are you ridiculous? ”

Shen Haobo took the urgent letter sent by Chen Zhihu's fast horse, and before he could read the letter, he saw a commotion behind the reinforcements from Shicheng who were heading to Donglei.

The commotion behind the tail was like a stone thrown into the river, and the waves of water spread quickly, and the reinforcements from Shicheng were marching, and the front and back were stretched out for miles deep. Almost in the blink of an eye, the commotion spread throughout the front, and more than a dozen horsemen rushed to this side, and shouted in panic in front of the camp: "There is an attack behind the enemy, all cavalry, the number of which is unknown......

Shen Haobo didn't catch the urgent letter sent by Chen Zhihu for a while, the chill on his back rushed to the top of his head, the blood froze, and he couldn't move, so he grabbed his throat in fright, and couldn't even spit out a word.

Azig's face was also as dead as ashes, and his mind was blank for a while, standing there in a daze, but he didn't expect Chen Zhihu's guess in the letter to be verified in the blink of an eye......

*****************

Although the enemy cavalry in Shicheng was already alert in front, everything was slow, and Sun Zhuang led his troops to slowly approach three or four miles behind his tail and spread out a cone attack formation, waiting to accelerate the charge. On the right flank, Chen Daozi led three battalions of cavalry to bypass the northern foot of Longzui Mountain and target its right flank, their purpose was to defeat the enemy cavalry in front, and second, to drive the enemy cavalry to the east base of Baihetan......

"All the generals have orders, the Hu Dog who killed my father and fellow villagers is right in front of him, today he will avenge his blood and make war exploits, everyone does not need to be merciful to kill the enemy," Sun Zhuang said word by word, "For the glory of Huaidong, draw the sword ......"

The Huaidong light cavalry are all standard sabers, and the three thousand generals who spread out to make the final attack preparations are all out of the war swords when they hear the order, and under the light of the winter sun at noon, the blades of the white flowers shine brightly, and converge into a sea of light.

Sun Zhuang pulled out his sword, and nearly three thousand swords shone like light between the artemisia grass and shrubs under the sun. Chen Daozi was in a high place, although they were far away, but when they saw that piece of light, they didn't need other prompts, and they knew that Sun Zhuang had ordered an attack over there.

"Draw your sword." Chen Daozi pulled out his war knife and made a stabbing action in front of him, thinking that it was an attack order, and the two thousand cavalry behind him also clamped and tightened the belly of the horse, slowly accelerated, and quickly approached the panicked enemy cavalry in front.

The closer the enemy army became, the faster the horses galloped, and soon the sound of hooves flowed like a storm through the western foot of Longzui Mountain, and then poured out of the plain area at the east mouth of Baixi on the slope of the terrain.

Although Suo Chengdong is a brave general who has experienced bloody battles, he was in the front formation, and found that the tail and rear were abnormal, and at this time he galloped to observe the enemy's situation, and at this time, he saw two large groups of cavalry attacking obliquely from behind and the right flank, and he was suddenly frightened and bloodless. When I first noticed the anomaly, I thought it was a small group of enemy soldiers approaching and harassing, but I didn't expect it to be a cavalry unit with a larger number of them.

The light cavalry advanced at full speed, as fast as lightning. The distance of three or four miles seems to be far away, and it is the work of driving and covering up, that is, in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the dust raised by the Huaidong cavalry running in the field, forming a huge dust barrier that closed the entire Longzui Mountain, surging over as quickly as a flood waterline, Suo Chengdong knew that he didn't have enough time to convey any decision he made at this time to make adjustments.

Suo Chengdong knew that the general trend had gone, and surrounded by dozens of soldiers, he beat his horse and went west, and ordered the horsemen on the side of the road as he walked: "Go north, go north......" Hoarse, full of despair.

At this time, Suo Chengdong could still think that the Huaidong cavalry was covering from behind, and it was to defeat the soldiers and then attack the Baihetan camp. Therefore, Suo Chengdong walked westward surrounded by Hu soldiers, thinking that he would avoid the camp before the Huaidong cavalry chased him, but at the same time ordered his men to flee north.

Suo Chengdong's reaction was not wrong at all, but it was a pity that his order in such a hurry and panic would only cause greater panic, and some people fled north at the order, but more soldiers and horses saw Suo Chengdong beating his horse and leaving, and they all subconsciously fled to the Baitan River, thinking of avoiding the camp and escaping into the rear first. Some heard the order to go north, and some subconsciously fled westward, except for the cavalry on the periphery who could run quickly, more cavalry could only make a mess on the plain on the east bank of the White River.

Behind the tail, there were also a few bloody brave soldiers who fought their horses to meet the Huaidong cavalry, trying to buy some time for the friendly troops in front to escape, but the two or three hundred horsemen behind the tail failed to pull up the horse speed, so they were killed by the Huaidong cavalry who stabbed like sharp knives.

The blade of the knife slashed through the air like lightning, and there was no need to slash with additional force, and the blade was attached to the body of the enemy horseman, even the tough leather armor and thin iron armor would be broken at the moment of contact, and the naked and exposed neck was as fragile as the crops in the field, and it was easy to cut off the whole whole, and blood splattered, like a fountain gushing from the ground......

Two or three hundred enemy horsemen failed to raise the speed of their horses, and they could not even block the momentum slightly, so they were crushed.

Occasionally, someone escaped the sword in front of them, but they couldn't dodge the supplementary knife that followed...... The three thousand cavalry rushed towards the flood, and the two or three hundred cavalry did not even have a single living mouth left, but the war horses were scattered on the battlefield, as if they were accustomed to blood.

Although Azig ordered the camp gate to be closed, the Shicheng cavalry was rushing to flee into the camp, one after another, and they couldn't stop it at all, and there was no chance to close the camp gate - the east base was more than 300 steps wide, and the cavalry in front fled in, and they didn't have time to dismount, and the cavalry behind rushed in, pushing the cavalry in front of them to the river beach, and they couldn't stop the momentum at all.

Azig had 2,000 soldiers and horses in the east base, but he asked hundreds of cavalry to rush in, and the 2,000 soldiers and horses in the east base were also scattered......

"General, you can only go to the south bank, it's too late for anything." Shen Haobo grabbed the red-eyed Azig and asked him to flee to the bank of the Hanshui River in the south instead of crossing the Baihe River to Xilei.

The main force of the Huaidong cavalry was still six or seven miles away from the camp, but in the depth of six or seven miles outside the camp, the cavalry and the rear of the cavalry who were all vying to defeat and flee were defeated. Don't say that there is no chance to close the camp gate, even if the camp gate is closed, the fence wall will be the first to be knocked down by these many routs, and the two or three thousand soldiers and horses in the camp will be in chaos, and the rout will soon be formed......

"No!" Azig roared unwillingly, his arms were full of divine power, and with a flick of his strength, he threw Shen Haobo's body five or six steps, almost stepping on a startled horse.

Azig pulled out his waist knife and hacked the two panicked soldiers around him directly to death, shouting: "What are you panicking about! Cross the river to Xilei! ”

"The mouth of the Baihe River is too shallow, and there is no way to form a blockade by the enemy to hold the pontoon bridge, and a large number of routs here will be driven directly into the west base, bringing the west base into chaos, and the Fancheng side will immediately follow the troops." Shen Haobo rushed over to stop Azig, if he hadn't died in the chaos, he could only flee to the bank of the Hanshui River immediately and retreat to the Hanshui River by boat.

"Those who disturb the hearts of our army will be killed!" Azig stabbed directly at Shen Haobo, who was crazy.

Shen Haobo still refused to believe that Azig killed him like this - Azig left Shen Haobo's corpse that was still pouring blood, and took more than 100 soldiers to kill the chaotic soldiers in the camp, cut a bloody passage of the pontoon bridge, and wanted to retreat to the west bank and lead the 6,000 soldiers and horses of the western base to establish a defense.

The camp gate is too small, and more rout horses can't squeeze into the camp gate, and the back is all fleeing, and they can't turn around and rush to, so they can only go directly to the fence on the east side.

The fence wall soon collapsed, forming a large gap called the Huaidong cavalry to directly attack the eastern base. It's just that just as Shen Haobo judged, the soldiers and horses in the battalion were quickly crushed, and the routs had nowhere to escape, and the two pontoon bridges were too narrow, and a large number of routs were driven directly down the estuary.

In the midst of the chaos, waist-deep shallow water can drown people. Countless people fell in the river and failed to get up, so they were trampled and pressed by the routs behind, and countless people drowned and died, but there were also countless people who waded through shallow water and wanted to escape to the west base to avoid the cover and kill in the rear.

Because everything happened so quickly, although there were 6,000 soldiers and horses on the side of Xilei, there was no way to stop the rout from rushing ashore for a while. Azig retreated to the west bank with his troops, and took the lead in killing the routs and preventing them from rushing to the enemy's western base, but more routs rushed ashore. When Azig understood that the general trend had been lost, the front troops of the Huaidong cavalry battalion had already occupied the pontoon bridge and rushed over after the rout, and more Huaidong cavalry rode on horseback and stepped on the floating corpses in the river, waded through the water, and directly entered the defensive position on the west bank, and Azig did not even have a chance to retreat to the bank of the Hanshui River......

*******************

The weather is fine, although Baihetan is eleven or twelve miles away from the east gate of Fancheng, but Sun Zhuang led the cavalry to attack the east bank of Baihetan, Huang Zuyu and Zhou Bin stood in front of the east gate tower, they saw that they were looking at it, and when the enemy army was defeated on the east bank, they understood everything.

"The pole is so fucking ruthless!" Gao Hu couldn't help but shout excitedly.

Huang Zuyu was also so excited that he trembled a little when he spoke, tried to calm himself, and said to Zhou Bin, who came from Qiaodu: "You immediately go to the south of the city, counterattack the enemy soldiers at the iron pile wharf and the bridgehead, take advantage of the chaos to kill them, and prevent them from retreating to the south bank." I led my troops to attack the White River Beach......"
