Chapter 939: The Great Victory of the City
The Tuntian soldiers of Taihang Mountain have been repeatedly transferred, and Liu Qi's 10,000 54 people are almost the last strong, but Yang Zhi can't help it, he has to fight all the way in Bianliang, and there are fewer people, but fortunately, Jincheng has been replenishing supplies for Liu Qi, and the whole army has 3,000 war horses, although the armor is varied, from Western Xia to the Great Song Dynasty and Liao, there is a set for everyone. The first time Zhao Ding saw Liu Qi's men and horses, he couldn't cry or laugh, the Tuntian army was one of the main forces that Yang Zhi brought to Bianliang, and such equipment was not even as good as the Xiang army, Zhao Ding couldn't help but worry in his heart.
Therefore, after capturing Baima, Zhao Ding went to Baima County to see the strength of Liu Qi's army, and when he saw Liu Qi win, Zhao Ding couldn't help but admire, Yang Zhi was really lucky; Zhao Ding followed Yang Zhi to the way to Yincheng, and really said a lot of good things about Liu Qi. Yang Zhi didn't think so, it turned out that among the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun relied on their qualifications, and if they wanted to talk about fighting, they were really inferior to Liu Qi and Wu Jue, who were ranked behind; if Liu Qi was fully equipped, he couldn't even beat Yelutan's Khitan cavalry, Yang Zhi really had to find a way to change generals.
Yang Zhi celebrated Liu Qi's achievements in Yincheng, and Li Qiong said with some worry: "My lord, Yincheng City is small and undefendable, Wanyan Zongfu's army is on the front line of Kaide Mansion, and it can be reached in one day, and we can't retreat in Yincheng." ”
Liang Shicheng burned all the pontoon bridges in Huazhou, but the pontoon bridges in Kaide Mansion are still there; Kaide Mansion is the original Shanzhou, and the Yellow River is the boundary between the north and south two walled cities, and the middle is connected by 49 pontoon bridges. The Jin army's iron cavalry pays attention to speed, and cherishes these bridges more than the Great Song Dynasty, even if they were followed by the Song army during the two retreats, the Jin army ordered its troops not to burn and damage the bridges, and the Jin army also controlled the pontoon bridge during the second retreat.
The Jin army will move the army quickly through the pontoon bridge in Kaide Mansion; Li Qiong does have a strategic vision, Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Whoever said that we want to defend the city, we just want to fight a good battle with Wanyan Zongfu here." ”
A day later, Li Qiong saw that the 10,000 cavalry of Yang Yizhong and Zhao Yi's room rushed to the battlefield and secretly ambushed in the suburbs; and the speed of the Jin army was also very fast, Wanyan Zongfu had arrived with 15,000 cavalry, and the 10,000 Jin troops left in Kaide Mansion by Wanyan Tart also acted with him.
Wanyan Zongfu was taken aback when he received the battle report, of course he understood the importance of the battle of Huazhou, an army that had never appeared defeated the 5,000 gold army, and killed 4,000 horse infantry troops, whether it was the general or the combat effectiveness of the troops, which was not to be underestimated, plus the appearance of Yang Zhi's banner, Wanyan Zongfu personally led the army to kill, just to make a temptation.
Wanyan Zongfu 15,000 cavalry to kill the city, saw Yang Zhi's banner and the tens of thousands of cavalry behind the infantry army, he knew that he had given Yang Zhi a pit, there were not so many cavalry in the intelligence; ”
Wanyan Zongfu captured Bianliang, got the most iron and equipment, and the 15,000 cavalry behind him were all well-trained veterans, equipped with specially made armor, 3,000 people in the iron float, and 12,000 horses and kidnappers; Yang Zhi was now a nightmare for the Jin army, and Wanyan Zongfu believed that if he couldn't take Yang Zhi, the Jin army would see Yang Zhi's army take a detour in the future. Ali Shave and Wanyan Seri are only in their early twenties, and they have never lost a battle since they joined the army, so they nodded in agreement.
Wanyan Zongfu looked at the crossbow and the divine arm bow on the opposite side, and remembered the legendary stacking array in Puzhou, so he dispelled the idea of letting Tiefutu wear down the front, and directly ordered the kidnapping horse to outflank him from both sides. But to Wanyan Zongfu's surprise, the cavalry of the Dingbei Army did not rush up to protect the two wings, could it be that Yang Zhi was ready to use the 10,000 infantry army in front of him to consume his cavalry, it was too incredible.
Liu Qi had a serious face in the army, and when he saw the abducted horse approaching, he waved the flag and ordered the infantry troops on both sides to engage in battle; after Liu Qi discussed with Yang Yizhong in Puzhou, he thought that the casualties of using cavalry to hit the abducted horse were too great, and he heard Yang Zhi say that the infantry army could break the abducted horse with a horse chopping knife, so he specially asked Yang Yizhong to play the role of the Jin army to test, and selected 2,000 infantry troops in the army to be trained by Yang Zhongwu, with the captured infantry armor, and the weapons were finally determined to be special long-handled axes and long javelins, especially for today's battle situation.
Li Yanxian came to watch the battle, and on a whim, he and Yang Zhongwu each brought a thousand heavily armored infantry troops to guard the two wings of the infantry army. Li Yanxian and Yang Zhongwu are all fierce and fearless of death, and the two thousand infantry troops under the cover of the cavalry directly entered the abducted horse army, each team of abducted horses, cut off the hooves of a horse, one horse fell, and the other two horses could not be driven, so they could only spin around in place or crawl slowly, and were stabbed to death by the javelins behind.
The cavalry of the Dingbei Army only split up at this time, and in front of the cavalry roaring up from the Dingbei Army, the cavalry of the Majin Army, who could not escape, had only the share of being slaughtered; Wu Ling Si saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said to Wanyan Zongfu: "Marshal, the number of Yang Zhi's cavalry is about the same as ours, and if we continue to fight like this, our army's losses will be too great, so it is better to withdraw first, and then fight again with the whole army in the future." ”
Wanyan Zongfu also saw that although the casualties of the two infantry armies of the Dingbei Army were also heavy, they were still fighting against the Kidnapping Horse Brigade with no relentless progress, but the Jin Army still had 10,000 infantry troops, and if they retreated like this, it would be equivalent to throwing 10,000 people on the battlefield. Wanyan Zongfu immediately ordered the infantry army to attack, if it was best to rely on the infantry army to turn the tables, if not, how many enemy troops could be killed, at least the role of 10,000 people could be brought into play.
Yang Zhi saw it, let his subordinates wave the order flag, Yang Jin and Li Qiong also put into the battlefield, the two sides fought on the outskirts of the city for more than two hours, Wu Lin Jingtai's vanguard Han Chang was shot in the right eye by Lei Zhong's arrow, seriously injured and unable to withdraw from the battlefield, only to let the last bit of the Jin army's infantry disintegrate, the whole army collapsed.
After Yan Zongfu waved the banner of Yang Zhi opposite him, he knew that Yang Zhi seized the opportunity to enter the battlefield, which would make the mood of the Dingbei Army rise in an instant, and he had no choice but to order a retreat; the Dingbei Army suffered more than half of the casualties of the 2,000 heavy armored infantry troops in the first battle, killed more than 6,000 cavalry and 7,000 infantry troops of the Jin Army, captured 2,000 war horses, and captured a large amount of baggage and grain and grass.
As soon as Liu Qi arrived in Jincheng, Yang Zhi put him in charge of tens of thousands of horses, although Liu Qi grew up in the Western Army, but most people still thought that Yang Zhi looked at brotherhood, Yang Zhi and others seven brothers formed a righteous relationship, and the last relationship with Yang Zhi was Liu Qi and Mi Youren. However, in the battle of Yucheng, the generals of the Dingbei Army had a great change in their views of Liu Qi.
