Chapter 579: Ice River Ambush
The moon is dim, most of the stars are hiding behind the clouds, Wang Bolong is excitedly leading the team to move forward with the glacier in his eyes, the ice of the glacier is very thick, it is indeed a hidden marching channel, and no one needs to lead the way, the war horse took off the luan bell, and the team came very smoothly, and did not see the ambush of the Song army along the way. Wang Bolong looked up at the sky, the moon was slowly sliding to the west, the lights on the side of the Canglang camp were gradually extinguished, Wang Bolong stared at Xizhai deadly, waiting for the news of the scouts.
A spark appeared in the sky, and twice in a row, Wang Bolong took a deep breath and ordered, "Attack!"
Eight hundred cavalry rushed ashore from the glacier river quickly, and when Wang Bolong saw more than a dozen bonfires still burning, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, Yang Zhi's men were more disorganized, and they didn't even have the most basic precautions, no, maybe it was the hands and feet that should have been done. In Wang Bolong's opinion, he was attacking Xizhai and slaughtering these displaced people, and the battle would be extremely simple; even if Yang Zhi reacted and sent cavalry, he couldn't fight it and walked away.
The soldiers who were dozing around the campfire with their heads lowered found the cavalry, although some people began to shout to get weapons, but they were scattered and unorganized, so that Wang Bolong's horse thieves disdained; they could not imagine that they would not even be able to kill such people, and there was no need for Wang Bolong to arrange them again, and the horse thieves immediately automatically formed a battle combination one by one, and rushed to the campfire and the Xizhai and the homeless accommodation on both sides of the bonfire.
When the sharp arrows of the horse thieves were shot, the Song soldiers who got the weapons had already hid in the dead corners, and although many of the Song soldiers who did not get up fell in response, none of them made a miserable scream, and if they got closer, they could see clearly, there was no struggle, no blood. The horse thieves, who were experienced in combat, turned their horses' heads and shouted, "The wind is tight." ”
Everything is late, in the era of cold weapons, the first to shoot is of course the crossbowman, and the Canglang camp is no exception, shooting hundreds of arrows from Xizhai and the accommodation of the homeless, in the blink of an eye, the horse thief fell more than a hundred horses; Wang Bolong's heart suddenly sank, the order to retreat has not yet been exported, the long iron arrow of the divine arm bow has hit the horse thief again, because the distance is too close, some iron arrows even shot through the two, and the horse thief lost nearly a hundred people again.
There was no need to give an order, the horse thieves began to flee back, this was the time to buy with their lives, under the shooting of the Canglang camp and the horse thieves colliding and trampling each other, Wang Bolong retreated and there were only more than 400 horsemen left; just when the brigade of men and horses rushed towards the glacier, 400 flying targets shot from all directions, and immediately harvested more than 200 horse thieves. Yue Fei and Zhang San's two teams of cavalry came out from both sides, although there were only more than 300 horsemen, but Wang Bolong only had the idea of breaking through at the moment, and he didn't intend to resist at all.
Wang Bolong did not run along the glacier this time, he rushed directly across the glacier, and ran out from a mountain road on the opposite side, the mountain road was only more than a mile, and it was a blink of an eye for the cavalry, but after running out of the mountain road, Wang Bolong could only restrain the war horse; three hundred chain armored horses were facing him, and there were two hundred light cavalry divided into four teams behind the chain armored horses, needless to say, his scouts did not find out, and the other party also detoured to this place.
The chain of armored horses had already rushed over, and the horse thieves who were running away in embarrassment left and fled in all directions, and they could not put on an effective formal posture when they came out of the mountain road, which was the fate of being slaughtered by the chain of armored horses; Wang Bolong relied on the speed of the horses and killed all the way out of the encirclement of the chain of armored horses, but immediately understood that the four teams of light cavalry were specially prepared for themselves. Just when Wang Bolong broke through, the two cavalry of Yang Zhi and Wang Gui had already begun to close, just surrounding Wang Bolong in the middle, turning a blind eye to the five or six cavalry who broke through the other siege.
With a roar, Wang Bolong lifted the mace in his hand, and the whole person and the war horse became one, rushing towards Yang Zhi, who was standing at the forefront, and Yang Zhi's spear roared towards the mace, accurately locking Wang Bolong's weapon. And the cavalry on Yang Zhi's side took the opportunity to stab with a spear, this is not a competition in the martial arts, the impact of the team in the group battle is immediately reflected, Yang Zhi can change hands and rest for a while with every shot, but Wang Bolong was busy parrying, and gradually lost the opportunity.
There was a soft click, and it was like a thunderbolt in Wang Bolong's ears, the horse's legs were cut off, and the horse's body was tilted, making Wang Bolong's mace move out of shape, and he suddenly fell into the assassination of a group of guns; Wang Bolong broke out in a cold sweat, suddenly increased his internal force, and hit the tips of the spears coming from all sides with the mace shaft, the sound was like a crack, and all the spears were shaken away. Wang Bolong slid out of the saddle and jumped into the air, trying to take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, but saw the rolling knives; before Wang Bolong could come to his senses, he had already been cut off by a knife.
Yang Zhi saw that the spear poked at Wang Bolong's body and did not react, so he guessed that Wang Bolong was wearing the same armor as himself, and at the moment when Wang Bolong fell from his horse, he had abandoned the gun and replaced the dragon sparrow knife in his hand. Wang Gui asked people to provoke Wang Bolong's head and shouted loudly: "Wang Bolong is dead, and he will not surrender." ”
The remaining 80 or 90 horsemen knew that they did not even have a chance to escape, and some horse thieves in the mountain roads abandoned their horses and climbed rocks to flee for their lives, and about 60 horsemen dismounted and surrendered; the Canglang camp won a great victory tonight, killing Wang Bolong and more than 600 horse thieves, capturing more than 100 people, and obtaining more than 400 war horses. Yang Zhi personally inspected Wang Bolong's body, and in addition to Qi Zijia, there were tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets and blank letters stamped with the official seals of Xiongzhou and Baozhou; only after interrogating the prisoners did they learn that Li Yu and Cao Rong followed Li Cheng to Xiongzhou and escaped tonight.
Yang Zhi collected his troops and returned to the camp, and Zhan Du had to report the great news, and he was in the Canglang camp, and it was appropriate to share the credit; sure enough, Yang Zhi said in the official letter that the chief manager Zhan Du assisted in guarding the camp, and also asked Zhan Du to take away thirty war horses as trophies. Yang Zhi wrote down the matter of searching for blank letters in the official letter and asked all localities to check whether it was forged by Wang Bolong or issued by Xiongzhou and Baozhou; Pei Xuan turned out to be a Confucius from Dingzhou, and he had many contacts with the two places, so he could not distinguish the authenticity of the blank letter.
Zhan Du returned to Cangzhou and reported a piece of music to Bianliang, since it was stained, Zhan Du didn't want to get any greater benefits, but just truthfully reflected some things about the Canglang Battalion Battle. Zhan Du didn't know that the current Bianliang was already arguing, and with Tong Guan's army occupying Qingxi County and capturing Fang La alive, Tong Guan had already written to the court, saying that he could return to the court first, and the affairs of Hangzhou could be handed over to others.
This is a signal, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all know that with Tong Guan's return with the power of victory, the matter of the Northern Expedition must be put on the agenda.
