Chapter 654: Xingzong withdrew
Xin Xingzong also knew that the situation was difficult now, and ordered Yang Keshi and Zhao Ming to command the men and horses to fight back, and Wang Yu restrained the infantry army behind to set up the formation, who would have thought that the other party would use the tactics of penetrating to separate Yang Keshi and Zhao Ming's two armies, Zhao Ming's 4,000 infantry army collapsed in a blink of an eye, Liu Yujing and Huan Wanxi resisted Xin Xingzong's handsome banner to the death, commanding the Liao army like two dragons, wantonly pressing step by step.
And Yang Keshi was targeted by Gu Yueshi, although the cavalry on both sides was vertical and horizontal, and Yang Keshi's cavalry number exceeded that of the Liao army, but the gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides was obvious, and the Song army did not have an advantage in the melee; Gu Yueshi killed twenty-three personal soldiers around Yang Keshi in one breath, and directly killed Yang Keshi's side, laughing and said: "I made a move the day before yesterday, Yue Fei and a stupid boy who didn't know the name fought with me, it's enjoyable, General Yang, as long as you take the next move, I will let you go back." ”
Yang Keshi didn't talk nonsense, the war horse that was moving forward suddenly changed direction, suddenly accelerated, and with one move, the tiger head gun went away with all his might, and Gu Yue Shi rose into the air with the help of the war horse, his body turned in the air, and a knife was slapping on the head of the tiger head gun. Yang Keshi's body was shocked, the war horse took a few steps back before standing firmly, Gu Yueshi steadily put away his sword and landed on the mount, and shouted: "Yang Keshi is dying, the whole army will attack, and there will be a reward for killing Yang Keshi." ”
Yang Keshi has been seriously injured, thanks to Yang Keshi's side are all robes of life and death, he rushed up, and used his flesh and blood to resist Gu Yueshi and the Liao cavalry, fighting to the death; Xin Xingzong's handsome banner finally began to retreat, although there were still 5,000 elite cavalry of the Shengjie army, but Xin Xingzong still chose to retreat, the infantry army commanded by Wang Yu collapsed, and the 20,000 Song army was killed by the 6,000 Liao army and was defeated, until he saw Yang Weizhong and Zhao De, the middle of the seed division, to bring 1,000 cavalry to help, Xiao Gan ordered to retreat.
Zhao Ming's 5,000 men gathered together, less than 700 people; Yang Keshi's elite troops lost more than half of their two stations in succession, and Wang Yu and Xin Xingzong's two armies each suffered more than 1,000 casualties, totaling nearly 9,000 soldiers and 2,000 war horses. The seed master has crossed the river and is waiting in the camp, and when he asks about the situation, he knows that the Shengjie army does not have the courage to fight to the death, otherwise it is comparable to the opponent's cavalry, and how could tens of thousands of infantry troops lose so neatly.
Although Yang Keshi looked covered in injuries, the external injuries were all flesh and skin wounds, and there were no injuries to the muscles and bones, but the blow released by Gu Yue made Yang Keshi unable to stand firm at all after getting off the horse, and was carried into the big tent. The seed master asked people to go to the Canglang camp to transfer the divine doctor An Daoquan to see Yang Keshi, and then comforted Xin Xingzong: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and for the time being, this village will be guarded, and I will echo in Baigou Henan." ”
Xin Xingzong rejected the suggestion of the planter to stick to the small village in Hebei, in his heart, the planter said that he had to bear the consequences, guarding such a village across the river, once the grain and grass were cut off, the army would be defeated without a fight. Xin Xingzong thought that he was not the Ma Tan of the Lost Street Pavilion, shook his head and said: "Insist that the whole army retreat to the south bank, the combat effectiveness of the Western Route Army is too poor, I want to go back to Xiongzhou to report to the Taiwei, for the sake of safety, the army retreats south to cross the river, and I can't sit here and wait for death." ”
Wang Yu, Zhao Ming and the others were silent, and the seed master shook his head, turned back to Zhao De and said: "Yang Zhi will arrive soon, from now on, you are under the command of Yang Zhi, I will tell Yang Zhi to stick to this village, even if the army is all withdrawn, you will be cut off." As for the final breakthrough, we are still waiting for us to cross the river, and we will mainly look at the signal. ”
Xin Xingzong didn't say a word, as if the words of the seed master had nothing to do with him; Yang Weizhong listened to it and said embarrassedly: "General Chong, it's not that I can't bear to watch Pao Ze take risks, it's really that the army in Hebei is too chaotic. I left Han Shizhong's 200 cavalry to General Zhao, all of whom were veterans who followed me from the northwest, and they were considered to do their best. ”
In Qingxi County, Fang La's soldiers were defeated and fled into the Gangyuan Cave to defend, Han Shizhong led his troops to cross the danger into the cave to capture Fang La, but was deprived of credit by Xin Xingzong, Yang Weizhong also went to Bianliang, and found Fang Qiong, the secretary of the military department, to explain the matter, and the imperial court promoted Han Shizhong to Chengjielang and transferred to Yang Weizhong's army. The seed master said with a smile: "Wei Zhong doesn't have to care, if there are two hundred veterans, it can be regarded as making up for the number of people in the Canglang camp, and Yang Zhi may give us a surprise." ”
Wang Yu raised his eyebrows, he is a battle-hardened general, he has been in the Western Route Army, this adjustment of the Cultivation Dao, Yang Zhi's cavalry expanded to nearly 4,000 people, this is not a defensive battle; the defensive battle of the Great Song Dynasty army is mainly an infantry army, using the divine arm bow and rockets to resist the opponent's cavalry. The location of the old village of Canglang Camp is good, but the field of vision is wide, although there are obstacles such as trenches and antlers, but for the Liao army, it may not work.
Wang Yu is not sure if there will be other plans for the Seed Master Dao, but Wang Yu knows that Xin Xingzong is now bent on withdrawing the army, and it is useless to say anything. Xin Xingzong was really very satisfied with the concession of the Seed Master Dao, thinking that the surprise was just the extravagant hope of the Seed Master Dao, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, Xin Xingzong ordered Zhao Ming to lead Yang Keshi's subordinates to leave with him, and even refused the idea of leaving after dinner, and ordered the following to cross the river and hurry overnight.
The stone bridge over the Baigou River was a passage for the withdrawal of troops, and there were also small boats that used to transport supplies from the Shidao, and the cavalry simply waded through a few shallow water places; Xin Xingzong said to Zhao Ming proudly: "There is a plan to spend money to buy back Youyan, and we can't let He Shu and others eat ready-made ones and sit there waiting for the reward." ”
Zhao Ming and the others nodded again and again, and when they arrived at the south bank, Wang Ping greeted him and asked, "Is the army back to the camp?"
Xin Xingzong shook his head and said: "Wang Yu and Yang Weizhong returned to the original barracks, Zhao Ming and I returned to Xiongzhou with reinforcements, Yang Keshi stayed with you for the time being to recuperate, what kind of divine doctor An Daoquan should arrive soon." ”
Wang Ping was completely speechless, you can't wait for An Daoquan to arrive and take Yang Keshi away, as for being so anxious? It's just that this kind of indifferent argument is useless, Wang Ping asked people to find a quiet place to settle Yang Keshi; the bridgehead and the road were crowded with soldiers who were ready to retreat, even if the generals roared, no one gave way, but fortunately, An Daoquan met the Seed Master Dao, and was sent over by a ferry boat with the Seed Master Dao. When Seed Master Dao learned that Xin Xingzong had already left with seven thousand cavalry, he couldn't help but show a bitter smile, and Wang Ping asked carefully, "How is the north?"
Seed Master Dao said helplessly: "Yang Zhi has successfully taken over the command, it's up to Yang Zhi, you immediately reorganize the men and horses, ambush in the shallow water that has been surveyed, and prepare bows and crossbows in case of accidents."
