Chapter 892: Yelu Chongde's Ambush
Langoudian.
"Where is there any trace of the Liao soldiers?"
Yang Keshi looked at the terrain in front of him and frowned and asked the soldier who had reported the news just now.
"General, please look, there are traces of enemy cavalry passing by!"
The soldier immediately pointed to the horse's hoof prints on the ground, which were very distinct, they had been left not long ago.
"I left in the early hours of the morning!"
Looking at the hoof prints, Yang Keshi analyzed the time of the hoof prints, which were obviously the traces of the cavalry passing through the brigade when the dew was rising in the early morning.
"This Langoudian terrain is really ......"
Yang Shizhong looked at the undulating terrain around him, only the middle was a low ground, and this kind of terrain was easy to get ambushed.
"General, do you want to catch up and have a look?"
All the generals were reluctant to retreat, they finally crossed the river, and they all wanted to fight a big battle, and let out the evil spirit that had been held in their chests during this time.
"Further on is Zhuozhou!"
Yang Keshi opened the map in his hand.
"General Yang, it's better to directly take Zhuozhou, and we can directly threaten Nanjing Xijin Mansion!"
Everyone said in unison.
"Go ahead carefully!"
Yang Keshi looked around, the sky was completely bright, but there was no one around, not even the fleeing people, which made Yang Keshi very uneasy, but since he crossed the river, he always had to explore something and come out, otherwise everyone would be held accountable when he went back.
Moving forward cautiously all the way, the traces of cavalry crossing along the way became more and more obvious, which made the group reassured that they were chasing the right direction.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, the shouting of killing shook the sky.
Yang Keshi raised his eyes and looked around, only to see the black-pressed cavalry around him appear on the horizon, and the earth's earth-shaking sound of horses' hooves shook with it, like a black sandstorm that devoured the sky and the earth.
"Not good! Enemy! Come on! ”
Yang Keshi reacted immediately, the enemy had already laid an ambush here.
But all sides were full of cavalry rushing to kill, and they had nowhere to escape.
"Break through with me! Follow my flag. ”
Yang Keshi's subordinate soldiers gathered together, holding a gun in one hand and holding his Yang character general flag in the other, and shouted loudly.
The soldiers instantly seemed to see hope, and they were all staring at the flag in Yang Keshi's hand, Yang Keshi untied his belt, tied the flag on his back, and rushed south with the army.
"Don't let go of these treacherous Song people, kill me!"
Yelu Chongde roared and commanded the army to besiege and kill Yang Keshi's vanguard force.
Yang Keshi led the army directly and the Northern Liao cavalry to kill together, Yang Keshi took the lead, spear stabbed, instantly killed several Liao cavalry, he wanted to kill a hole, break out.
The two armies fought, and in an instant, several soldiers around Yang Keshi were killed on the spot, and the Northern Liao cavalry was obviously more trained, holding armour-breaking horse lances, and the excellent armor of the Song army could not play any defensive role.
"Kill them all, and leave not one behind!"
The Northern Liao soldiers shouted in unison, and the shouts of tens of thousands of troops shook the sky completely, and the morale of the Song army was completely lost for a while.
"Kill me!"
Yang Keshi roared, wielding his spear and fighting desperately.
Yang Keshi brought these are the elite of the Western Army, and those who can fight with the Xixia people in the northwest all the year round are not afraid of death, seeing Yang Keshi's flag fluttering and fighting continuously, the ferocity in his heart was also stimulated, and Yang Keshi rushed south to kill without his life.
After all, Northern Liao's is a light cavalry, the armor defense is limited, and frontal combat is not the strength of the light cavalry.
"Let's go!"
Yang Keshi shouted, and led his own soldiers to tear the mouth, preparing to cover the soldiers behind him.
"Roundabout!"
A big pole waved, Yelu Chongde commanded the cavalry, he also saw that this Song army was extraordinary, his light cavalry was difficult to block in front, but the speed of the light cavalry was extremely fast, Yang Keshi could break a line of defense, he could let the cavalry form another line of defense, he didn't believe that these three thousand people could break through several lines of defense in a row.
"General Yang goes, let's drag the enemy!"
The backward people also saw the enemy who intercepted in a roundabout way, they knew that they had no chance, if Yang Keshi insisted on covering them, then no one would be able to leave, at this time they could only choose to stay and die in battle, so as not to wipe out the whole army.
Yang Keshi's eyes were about to split, these were the robes that had been fighting with him for many years, and if he dropped them now, it would be a dead end over there.
"General Yang go!"
Yang Keshi's personal soldiers immediately hugged Yang Keshi and went south, it was shameful to leave the robe, but if even they died, the sacrifice of the robe would be in vain.
Yang Keshi is not a person who twists, and he also knows the current form, he looked back deeply at the soldiers who were swallowed up by the Liao army, and continued to evacuate south with the people around him.
"Kill!"
Yelu Chongde waved Daxu again, and the Northern Liao cavalry changed formation again, and the cavalry automatically formed several pairs and quickly pursued Yang Keshi.
"Throw away the baggage and retreat with light horses!"
Yang Keshi looked at the enemy who was chasing closer and closer, and his heart was very anxious, the enemies were all light horses, and they were very fast, if they wanted to escape from the pursuit, they had to reduce their burdens, in addition to weapons, the bows and crossbows, armor, dry food, and water on their bodies had to be discarded.
After abandoning the baggage, Yang Keshi's army was obviously much faster, but the speed of the Northern Liao soldiers and horses was not slow, and many slower Song troops were directly crushed by the Northern Liao iron cavalry.
fled all the way to the vicinity of Baigou, and there were less than a thousand horsemen left around Yang Keshi.
Approaching Baigou, Wang Yu was already ready to respond, and the trebuchet and bed crossbow were left directly on the south bank of Baigou.
Yang Keshi's army was quickly crossed the river by the boats that were answered.
"General Yang, what's going on?"
Wang Yu looked at Yang Keshi's remnants and was shocked, although he knew that Yang Keshi was attacked, but he didn't expect that there would be casualties like this, and the casualties directly exceeded seventy percent.
"Northern Liao is not ready to surrender at all, they have already trained the army."
Yang Keshi pointed to the enemies gradually gathering on the north bank, these people are well-equipped and well-trained, where does this Northern Liao seem to be about to surrender, the so-called meal pot pulp is just obscenity.
The beacon fire was ignited, and black smoke rose from the south bank of Baigou in an instant, and the news of the enemy's attack spread throughout the battalions.
"Song Jun, that's it!"
Yelu Chongde looked at the Song army on the south bank and sneered.
Yelu Chongde did not rush to cross the river, but led the army to camp on the north bank, with a posture of a decisive battle.
This can make Yang Keshi and Wang Yu on the south bank gloomy, and the Liao soldiers will not withdraw, and they will also set up camp, which is a great change.
But at this time, the south bank was indeed leaderless, and He Shu went to see Tong Guan in the back, and there was no one to lead the various armies in Bazhou.
Wang Yu tried to be safe, and felt that he still relied on the walled city to hold on and wait for news from the rear.
Yang Keshi wanted to lead his troops across the river to fight to the death.
Yang Weizhong wanted to establish a solid defensive line along the Baigou to prevent the enemy from crossing the river.
The seed master is in favor of Yang Weizhong.
Zhao Ming and Li Ming, who chose the front army, were unclear, hoping to wait for He Xuan to come back, or to have Tong Guan's order.
