Chapter 894: The Defeat of the Song Army
"Defense!"
Yang Keshi was shocked when he saw it, the enemy no longer fought hard this time, but replaced it with a bow and crossbow, light cavalry and bow and crossbow, which was a nightmare for the infantry.
Like a rain of arrows from locusts, a large number of arrows fell to the ground among the soldiers around Yang Keshi.
The Song army blocked and supported the enemy this time, and did not carry too many shields to defend, and was powerless to parry in the face of the rain of arrows in Northern Liao.
"Kill!"
Yang Keshi roared when he saw this, and directly led the army to rush to kill, they had no equipment to stop them, and they could only charge desperately in the face of the dense rain of arrows, as long as they pulled in the distance, they could get a glimmer of hope.
Yang Keshi took the lead, Zhao De, Zhao Ming, and Li Ming followed, and the army stared at the arrow rain in Northern Liao and rushed to kill, although people continued to fall under the arrow rain, but the charge never stopped.
The Northern Liao cavalry began to retreat and shoot, and the light cavalry would not fight people in place.
"Cavalry, kill with me!"
Yang Keshi saw that the enemy was about to open the distance, and immediately rushed away with the cavalry, they could only have two thousand horsemen on their side, but as long as they caught up with the Northern Liao cavalry, they could break the encirclement.
The Northern Liao cavalry who had just turned around couldn't get up, and they were directly led by Yang Keshi to rush into the formation.
"Hmph, I just hate the limited terrain near this river beach!"
Yelu Chongde waved a big sword in his hand and ordered the Northern Liao cavalry to begin to besiege and kill the enemy.
Tens of thousands of cavalry detours require extremely wide terrain, but the terrain near this Baigou is extremely limited, and the cavalry under Yelu Chongde cannot make a large-scale detour.
The two armies fought together, Yang Keshi had just been defeated, and at this moment he was angry in his heart, waving the spear in his hand, and constantly strangling the enemy in front of him.
But this time, no matter how Yang Keshi rushed to kill, he couldn't break through the enemy's defense line again, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him.
Yang Keshi led the army to rush more than a dozen times, and the upper and lower parts of the mixed body were already soaked in blood.
Just when Yang Keshi and the others were desperate, the sky gradually darkened, night fell, the vision of the Northern Liao cavalry was blocked, the coordination between the various armies was also a little chaotic, and the encirclement was no longer so tight.
"Quick, rush with me again!"
Yang Keshi keenly discovered the problem, immediately boosted morale, and rushed out with the army again, this time they finally broke through the enemy's encirclement and returned to the camp of the Seed Master Dao.
At this moment, the remaining Northern Liao cavalry on the north bank of Baigou also seized the nightfall and crossed Baigou directly, and the two armies surrounded the camp of the Seed Division.
The drums in the camp shook the sky and inspired the soldiers.
……
The north bank of the Yellow River.
"Brother, the latest battle report, yesterday Yelu Chongde led the army to kill Baigou, besieged the East Route Army of the Seed Master Road, this morning, Xin Xingzong led the West Route Army to help, and was blocked and besieged by Xiao Gan halfway, fortunately Yang Keshi galloped to help the two armies converged, and now the Song Army is surrounded by regiments on the side of Bazhou City......"
Gongsun Sheng opened his mouth and said.
"This Yelu Chongde has a few brushes!"
Sun Lei touched his chin and said, although these people are pedantic, they are not incompetent, and they can only be said to be very virtuous if they are so badly defeated.
"Brother, this Yelu Chongde is also known as Yelu Dashi, he is one of the few talents in Liao, he is the only Khitan who has been a Zhongjin scholar in the Khitan country for a hundred years, and he is still a Khitan nobleman, he can be regarded as a civil and military all-rounder, and he is quite famous in the upper echelons of Liao."
Gongsun Sheng introduced that the Khitan people are a people on horseback, although many people have been brave after the founding of the country, but after all, it is not the material for learning, and there is only Yelu Dashi who has passed the imperial examination in a hundred years.
"Jerodashi? It's kind of interesting, it was his subordinates who attacked Cangzhou last time, right? The ambition is not small, and I will seize the opportunity, but unfortunately that's it! ”
Sun Lei said with a smile, he is not unfamiliar with the name Yelu Dashi, this is the founder of Western Liao, who expanded all the way from the Western Regions to Central Asia.
"How could the Planter Dao be such a waste, beaten so badly by this Liao people."
Qin Ming said disapprerovingly, he only listened to the Dao of the Seed Master and was defeated by Yelu Chongde.
"The 100,000-strong army was defeated in a battle, and the 100,000-strong army was surrounded by the Liao army! What a sake bag rice bag! ”
Pang Wanchun's face was disdainful, this battle was too faceless, I am afraid that it will become the laughing stock of the world, what is Beiliao? A goods that was beaten by the barbarian Jurchen tribe and was about to destroy the country within a few years! This kind of goods can't be beaten, what's the difference with waste?
"In fact, it is not difficult to understand that almost all of the eastern and western armies of the Song Dynasty this time were transferred from the west, and these large armies fought in Guanxi and Western Xia all the year round, and they were best at mountain warfare."
"But the secret training of Northern Liao is all light cavalry, and the land of Hebei is full of plains, and it is almost invincible for light cavalry to charge and outflank."
Xiao Jiasui shook his head and said, the early Song Dynasty couldn't defeat the Liao State because the cavalry was too powerful, although the military array and various bows and crossbows were studied, but these could only be defended, not attacked.
"What's this, let me tell them how the infantry fights cavalry!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"If Yelu Dashi dares to sneak attack my Cangzhou, I will sneak attack his lair!"
Sun Lei looked at everyone and smiled.
"Tang Bin, Teng Huan, Shi Xiu, Wei Dingguo, Shan Yanjue, lead 10,000 troops to prepare to take Jizhou."
Sun Lei pointed out the six people and said, the Northern Expedition army should have started the war, and the news will spread soon, and at this time, taking the strategic place of Jizhou can divide the Liaoning Nanjing Road into two.
"Yes, brother!"
The few people who were named were overjoyed and hurriedly clenched their fists to receive their lives.
"Don't fight hard, Shi Qian and Ma Ling will be in the city to deal with you! Waiting for news, this time let Xu Junshi accompany the command. ”
Sun Lei was a little uneasy and told again, Jizhou City has been operated by Yelu Dashi for many years, but it is not easy to attack hard, last time Shi Xiu and others also set fire, now there must be precautions.
"Brother, I want to go too!"
Li Kui looked at Sun Lei and said, how many people have gone out, and it hasn't been his turn yet, which makes him a little unbearable.
"What's the hurry, will you attack the city?"
Sun Lei glanced at Li Kui, Li Kui's battalion of heavily armored infantry was a sharp weapon to deal with the Northern Liao light cavalry.
"I'll just cut people down!"
Of course, Li Kui will not attack the city, he will only use the axe to cut people.
"You just stay honest, you can fight hard battles, don't make excuses when you are on the road!"
Sun Lei looked at Li Kui and said.
"I never make excuses when I cut people!"
Li Kui patted his chest and said loudly.
"Continue to send sentinels to investigate the situation, but be careful not to be discovered by the enemy, I think the Planter Dao will withdraw his troops soon."
Sun Lei said.
Now that the Seed Master Dao and Xin Xingzong are surrounded, Tong Guan most of them dare not send troops to rescue, and at this time, the only choice for the Seed Master Dao is to break through to the south, and stay in place to wait for death.
Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei's anxious eyes, and the appearance of wanting to speak was really strange.
"Master Lu, don't think about it, it's impossible for us to support, it's hard to say whether it's friend or foe, how can we get over?"
Sun Lei saw Lu Zhishen talking helplessly, Lu Zhishen naturally wanted to save the Seed Master Dao and the Western Army, but now they and the Song Army are hostile, and there is no way to rescue. (End of chapter)
