Chapter 650: Fierce Battle Across the River
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Zhi led the Canglang Camp to cross the Baigou River when the sky was just dawning, at this moment, the north of Baigou River was calm, the fish swam freely in the water, and the shadows of the trees were reflected in the water, looking so fresh, as if they had been filtered. A pale red morning light appeared in the sky in the distance, like a blooming peony, and the red light sprinkled on everything pleasing to the eye through the faint vibration.
However, from Yang Zhi's point of view, the Baigou River was full of undercurrents, and the confrontation between the Song and Liao armies was like a taut string, which could be described as a thousand shots; the scouts of the Canglang battalion crossed the river many times to investigate, and a Liao army with an unknown banner had appeared in the nearby plains, with more than 5,000 people, indicating that while the Great Song Dynasty regarded Youzhou as its prey, it was possible that these prey might turn into hunters.
Han Tao waved his hand, and the 1,000 cavalry who had already crossed the river turned their horses, and the whole team turned around, slowly fluttering the flag, and the formation unfolded; Liao was able to stand tall for a hundred years in the competition with the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the opponent's combat effectiveness was strong, and it was false to say that Han Tao did not have a little pressure, after all, the Canglang camp was only 5,000 people crossing the river, and if it encountered a cavalry of 5,000 people, it would be a bitter battle, if the other party exceeded 5,000 cavalry, then the Canglang camp could only see whether God favored it or not.
Yue Fei, who had been issuing orders, was in the same mood as before, without any fluctuations, one was that Yue Fei had broken through to the illusion realm in the successive battles, and the other was that Yue Fei was the same as Yang Zhi in his heart, and he didn't care about any Liao people at all. Yang Zhi was about to gallop out of his horse, when he suddenly felt a pair of sharp eyes observing him from the side, Yang Zhi's figure bounced off the horse's back like lightning, jumped diagonally, and landed in a bush by the river, a figure flashed, and his figure was like flowing water, and he had sunk into the woods farther away.
With Yang Zhi's martial arts, they couldn't catch up, and Lu Zhishen and the others woke up in shock, and searched for nearby places where people could hide; but the Canglang Camp was strictly trained, and although Yang Zhi and the others were in action, the surrounding soldiers did not hear the order, and they still crossed the river and launched a formation. To the surprise of Gu Yue Shi, who was looking around in the forest, the reason why Yang Zhi did not advance immediately was because he was waiting for the loads of materials behind, and Gu Yue Shi saw a large number of masters rushing towards the woods, so he fled as fast as he could.
Yang Zhi saw Gu Yueshi's flickering back, and knew that he couldn't catch up, so he called out to everyone, and said lightly: "This person's body method is so fast, I'm afraid it's comparable to Cao Wanchu, almost the same as the original Ying Yunfei." ”
Gongsun Sheng frowned and said: "It may be a master sent by the Liao State, but who is this person, I don't seem to have heard of this person, Yang Zhi, have you seen this person when you were in Youzhou?"
Yang Zhi shook his head and was silent, he really hadn't seen Gu Yue Shi, and he hadn't even heard of it; when the scout in front reported that the Liao army he was facing might be the Xi army led by Xiao Gan, Zhang San said in his heart: "I think of a person, this person was originally not in Youzhou, he was the high priest of the Xi people, Gu Yue Shi, it is said that martial arts are not under Xiao Yuli, but he has been practicing in Jianqi Mountain, and he has not had much contact with the outside world." Whether this person is this person or not, we must be prepared. ”
Yang Zhi was silent for a moment before he said, "When I had a sense to jump, that person should have already begun to retreat, so that he could flee back to the woods in an instant. Now that you know how powerful he is, all you have to do is prepare more manpower to deal with it, after all, the two armies are fighting, and it doesn't rely on this. ”
Yue Fei smiled slightly and said: "The assassination lies in surprise, since you know that there are such characters, the cultivation of the senior brother can definitely deal with it, in this fight, as long as the senior brother is the head of the main general, if this person does not appear, you will not make a move." ”
Zhu Wu bowed his head and said: "The strength of the enemy army is far superior to ours, Yue Fei, if this is the case, you need to attack the strong with weakness in front of you to have a chance of winning." ”
Everyone nodded in unison, Zhu Wu said what they thought in their hearts, only Yue Fei's infantry army can withstand the Liao cavalry, there is a story behind, Yue Fei understands that Yang Zhi can't move, and the responsibility for this battle falls on his shoulders, nodding unequivocally. The horses galloped back that the three thousand Liao cavalry were already ten miles away, and they had arrived in a blink of an eye; Yang Zhi and the others looked up to the north, and they could already see a row of black shadows on the horizon, moving rapidly towards the Baigou River.
Yue Fei, Zhang San, and Han Tao immediately divided the front, middle and rear armies, Yue Fei led 500 cavalry to rush directly to the oncoming cavalry, Zhang San arranged for pikemen and divine arm bows to list a circular formation, leaving Han Tao's 1,000 chain armored horses at the end; Zhu Wu accompanied Yang Zhi to watch the battle in the Chinese army, and Gongsun Sheng turned back to continue to arrange the crossing of the river.
Leading the 3,000 cavalry was the Liao general Liu Yujing, Xiao Gan reinstated Liu Yujing to his original position as a commander and served as the vanguard of his own army; Liu Yujing knew that he had encountered an opponent as soon as he saw the movement on the opposite side, because the Song army not only did not retreat, but had 500 horsemen to meet him. For a hundred years, the Song army was afraid of fighting with the Liao army, and the other party's actions were unusual, but as soon as he saw that the opposite side seemed to be arranging a formation, Liu Yujing immediately realized that the other party was buying time for the army behind.
Liu Yujing immediately ordered that the commander of the thousand commanders A Hui Department led 600 men to besiege the Song army in front, and the commander Yuwenao and the commander of the thousand men each led 1,000 men to attack the Song army's position in two ways, and he led 400 cavalry to prepare to meet with him; if it was replaced by an ordinary Song army, Liu Yujing would not have arranged it, but Yang Zhi and the Canglang battalion had a resounding reputation, and they had killed a giant thief like Wang Bolong, and Liu Yujing had to be careful.
No one expected that Yang Zhijun's original Divine Arm Bow, plus the newly allocated Divine Arm Bow, would have a total of 500, and even according to the arrangement of Zhu Wu, the Divine Machine's military master, the four trebuchets that crossed the river with Han Tao were already in place. As a result, the first round of shots of the Shenjian crossbow shot down more than 300 Xi cavalry, plus the blocking of the stones fired by the catapult, the Shenjian bow won the second round of salvos, and nearly 700 cavalry were shot down in two rounds, which also made the lineup of the Xi cavalry have to disperse.
Just when the god arm bow changed arrows, the Liao cavalry rushed into a hundred steps, Xiang Chong shouted, the three hundred javelinmen lined up immediately threw the javelin in their hands, although the Liao army struggled to dial, there were still more than 200 horsemen on their backs, either the javelin was hit, or the horse was injured and fell to the ground, the most important thing is to delay the speed of the Liao army's attack, plus the support of the archers in Han Tao's horse army, once again bought time for the god arm bow.
