Chapter 567: Zengtou City 4
Zeng Suo forcibly left the village, Su Ding had to pick up a thousand people and go out, let Zeng Kui hurry back to Zengjiazhuang to discuss with Zeng Rong, and told Zeng Kui that if Dongzhai was lost, immediately cover Zeng Rong's escape to Yinmachuan, don't expect the terrain of Zengjiazhuang to be useful; Yang Zhi's Canglang camp is an official army, not a thief who is in a hurry to leave, as long as Yang Zhi is not in a hurry, push over step by step from the avenue, and all the forks and ditches are decorations.
Zeng Suo has a well-proportioned figure and is good at flying knives, but Zeng Suo doesn't know that Li Gon under Yang Zhi is also good at flying knives, and Yang Zhi is a master of foot combat. The two met in front of the battle, Zeng Suo fired three flying knives in a row, all of which were shot away by Yang Zhi, and finally shot Yang Zhi's war horse with two knives when the horse's head was close, and Zeng Suo's war horse head was cut by Yang Zhi's knife at the same time.
The two landed on foot to fight, Yang Zhi shouted, a move Tianbiao, the dragon bird knife floated out of nine knife shadows, Zeng Suo couldn't tell the difference at all, and was cut off by Yang Zhi's head; Su Ding saw a rare opportunity, and swung his horse to kill out of the formation, but he didn't expect to be cut off by Yang Zhi's knife, and when the person jumped away from the horse's back, he was kicked down by Yang Zhi in the air and hacked to death. Liang Juewu and Wang Dingling waved the flag, the Canglang camp rushed to the front, the people of Zengtou City fled back to the village in a panic, and the dragons had no owner, and Liang Juewu was robbed to the gate of the village, and the official army entered the east village.
The sky was shrouded in haze and clouds, and as soon as the news of the loss of Dongzhai arrived, Zeng Lane asked Zeng Kui to immediately take people to set off, and there were more than 400 horses in Zengjiazhuang, which were already equipped with 30 mule carts, which were originally intended to prepare for escape; Zeng Lane was worried that the officials and troops would chase and kill, so he led people to control the four gates of Zengjiazhuang, and according to the situation, set off one or two hours late. Yang Zhi heard Gongsun Sheng say that there was bad weather and heavy snow in the back, and while thanking God for helping, he just instructed Han Tao and Yue Fei to lead three hundred horsemen in the direction of Yinmachuan and pursue fifty miles.
After catching up with Zeng Kui, fearing that he would be entangled under the pursuit of the official army, the Zeng family father and son threw down all the mule carts that could not run. Han Tao and the others made a detour and delayed the time, only chasing eleven carts of grain and more than forty Zhuang Ding who had escaped.
As soon as he ran, Zhuang Ding opened the door of the village, Yang Zhi asked Zhu Wu and Wang Dalang to be responsible for fighting the fire and counting the materials, Wang Dalang knew what would happen as soon as he heard that Zhu Wu was responsible for counting the food and the inner house. To Wang Dalang's surprise, the officers and soldiers of the Canglang battalion were still in a posture of being ready for battle, and Cai Fu, Cai Qing, Cao Zheng and others were collecting horses and weapons from house to house.
In the next two days of fighting, Yang Zhi only collected scattered horses, adding up to less than 200 horses, which was enough for the Daimyo's Mansion, but Yang Zhi felt that his horses were too few, and Wang Bolong would come at any time, so he had to step up preparations for battle; in the afternoon, the scouts came to report that the traces of the cavalry of the brigade were found in the direction of Yumachuan, and they would arrive within an hour.
Yang Zhi hurriedly ordered an army, 1,100 cavalry, 400 archers, plus 200 infantry troops, and went into battle with Yang Zhi; Liugong Sun Sheng, Cai Fu, Cai Qing, and Chen Da led 500 infantry troops to defend Zhongzhai, Pei Xuan, Wang Shan, and Huangfu went to defend Dazhai, and Kong Yanwei, Zhu Wu, Fan Rui, Li Gon, Cao Zheng, and Wang Dalang guarded Zengjiazhuang.
Wang Bolong led 1,500 horsemen to meet Zeng Lane on the road, and learned that there were only 29 carts of things that were deeply disappointed, Zeng Lane sighed and said: "Yang Zhi is cunning and brave, fortunately, there are more than 400 horses in the village, and 30 mule carts have been brought out. ”
Thirty mule carts should be Zeng Rong's savings for decades, as for waiting for the opportunity, it is just to see whether Wang Bolong can continue to support him in Yinmachuan, and whether the Zeng family can take the opportunity to make a little more credit; Wang Bolong was ashamed in his heart, and deliberately groaned: "Since I came, I will lead two thousand horsemen to fight in the afternoon, Yang Zhi is less than five thousand people after all, and our number of war horses is still superior." ”
Wang Bolong had Wang Bolong's considerations, although he occupied Yumachuan, but Pei Xuan and Gongsun Sheng set fire to most of the materials when they fled, and the reason why they desperately rushed to Zengtou City, Wang Bolong did not value gold and silver wealth, but daily necessities such as food and salt and clothes for the winter;
Zeng Lane saw through Wang Bolong's mentality, persuaded two sentences to no avail, so he had to let Wang Bolong go out to fight, and he continued to move forward with a large convoy, Zeng Kui took three hundred horsemen and Wang Bolong to go back; Zeng Lane also held the psychology of hope, Wang Bolong never missed, if he could really defeat Yang Zhi, it would not be a bad thing to grab more people's food to drink Machuan.
The two armies met in the wilderness of five miles northeast of Zengtou City, Wang Bolong did not know, Yang Zhi had now gathered thousands of horses, Yang Zhi was unwilling to give the other party time to rest, and ordered the nine hundred horsemen of the horse army to all put on vest iron cables, thirty horses as a team, all pikemen, under the command of Han Tao, Liang Juewu, and Wang Ding, a total of thirty teams killed Wang Bolong's brigade.
Wang Bolong has more people and horses than Han Tao and others, and the thief's character is even stronger. Wang Bolong divided the 1,800 cavalry into five teams, three teams entangled the chain of armored horses, and the other team of cavalry killed Yang Zhi's infantry army, hoping that after defeating the infantry army, he would defeat the chain armored horses with a mental advantage, and he led 500 cavalry as a mobile soldier.
Wang Bolong soon found that he was wrong, the first to suffer losses was the cavalry that attacked the infantry army, the 300 cavalry close to the Song army's infantry army were shot down by the opponent nearly 100 people, in the final charge, Yang Zhi's army actually flew out of hundreds of flying targets, the speed was fast and the strength was heavy, and more than 70 people were put down at once, and the remaining 100 people were shocked by the two hundred cavalry teams rushed out by the opponent.
The opponent was in the brigade of the chain armor horses, there were actually two teams of swimming cavalry, these cavalry to their subordinates did not harm the chain armor horses, in the blink of an eye had already killed the battlefield; Wang Bolong immediately made a decision, and the deputy general each led a hundred horses, and sent out separately to block these two squads, and the rest of the cavalry was responsible for intercepting the chain armor horses that came to reinforce them. Wang Bolong knew Zhang San, brandished his mace and rushed over, and fought with Zhang San in one place.
Li Yu wore a green armor and rode a jujube red horse, making a pair of chaotic horses to stop Yue Fei; Li Yu's number exceeded Yue Fei's sixty horsemen, but Wang Gui and Wang Gang behind Yue Fei were too strong, and there were no three-in-one generals in front of the horse, Li Yu and Yue Fei fought less than thirty times, and half of the hundred horsemen had been killed. Li Yu's own martial arts are not as good as Yue Fei's, and he has no strength outside of thirty moves, so he can only retreat.
