Chapter 653: Encounter
As soon as Yelu Chun dies, Yelu Dashi will definitely run, and Heishui City is a bargaining chip to speed up Yelu Dashi's escape; with Yelu Dashi's wisdom, he should know that since he supports Yelu Chun as the emperor, it is a dead end to return to Yelu Yanxi, and only those who hide far away can be safe, and Heishui City is the junction between the southern part of the Liao State and the Western Regions, far enough. Yang Zhi thought for a while and said, "This bargaining chip is not enough, not enough for him to kill Xiao Gan, or find a way to eliminate the Xi clan's army first." Let's do this, so that when Yeluchun dies, Yelu Dashi's army will be alone. ”
Yue Fei was a cautious person, he thought of Yang Zhi's faint experience in the Liao Kingdom, Yang Zhi knew that Ye Luchun would die, maybe a group of assassins were in action and were discovered by Yang Zhi, but Yue Fei thought that nothing in the world was 100% constant, and whispered: "It is better to ask for others than for yourself, and the key is to destroy Xiao Gan's army." ”
Kong Yanwei, who was on patrol, accompanied the messenger of the Seed Master Dao to come in, and in addition to conveying the order, Chong Pu also brought two hundred elite soldiers to make up for Yang Zhi's lack of troops; after reading the order of the Seed Master Dao, he learned that Xin Xingzong's army had begun to move, Yang Zhi led everyone out of the tent and came to the camp gate, and saw Wang Yu standing outside the camp gate in armor, Yang Zhi walked a few steps quickly, and stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the commander of the capital." ”
Wang Yu is the nominal deputy of the master of the Dao, but in fact he is Tong Guan's eyes and ears, he knows that most of the generals of the Western Route Army do not buy their own accounts, Yang Zhi at least saves enough face for himself, no wonder Tong Guan does not hate Yang Zhi. Wang Yu smiled and said: "General Xin Xingzong led 30,000 of us to march to Youzhou, I came to ask for some ideas, and by the way, the two sides handed over." ”
"Isn't General Xin in Fan Village?" Yang Zhi asked casually, and immediately ordered Kong Yanwei to recall the scouts of the Canglang camp and leave the front defense to Wang Yu; Yang Zhi obviously didn't need an answer, Wang Yu thought about it and asked Yang Zhi: "How many Liao troops are there on the other side?"
"Six thousand, fifty miles away from us. Yang Zhi told the truth: "After a day's rest, the morale of the Liao army has recovered, and the general is careful." ”
Wang Yu smiled and took the people over, is this a careful thing? Xin Xingzong's guy is like a madman, he has done everything to force Song Jiang and Song Saburo away in Hangzhou, and now he is grabbing credit, there is really no bottom line. When it comes to the battlefield, will such a person care about the life and death of others? But when the people and horses gathered, Wang Yu saw Xin Xingzong's face angry, and asked Yang Weizhong, who was holding back a smile, curiously: "What happened?"
Yang Weizhong told Wang Yu in a low voice that Xin Xingzong heard that Yang Zhi had captured 500 war horses and went to ask for horses as his boss, but Yang Zhi directly told Xin Xingzong that he Xin Xingzong was only leading troops to fight and couldn't manage the Canglang camp, and Yang Zhi only accepted the order of the seed master. Liang Xing, the henchman behind Xin Xingzong, shot out in anger, but was hugged by the silly boy Wang Gang and couldn't break free, causing everyone to laugh.
In the end, Yang Weizhong said regretfully: "Xin Xingzong asked for the camp of Canglang Camp in the name of going to war, Yang Zhi retreated to the Baigou River, and found a small hill to the west to re-camp. ”
"A small hill bag, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Wang Yu said in surprise: "Yang Zhi is preparing to defend the war?"
Yang Weizhong thought for a while and said: "That's really the case, the day before yesterday, more than 900 people were killed and 700 were injured in the Canglang Camp in the first battle, and the seed master arranged for Chong Pu to take 200 elite soldiers to help Yang Zhi and make up for 3,500 people. But today Yang Zhi sent the lightly wounded in the rear battalion back, leaving only the soldiers who could fight, by the way, Yang Zhi asked the cavalry to bring enough dry food for ten days, and the infantry to bring enough dry food for six days, and the rest of the materials were left to us. ”
"That's a move to go out to war. Wang Yu was beaten out of the pile of dead people, he knew too well this idea of bringing enough food, and his expression suddenly became serious; the Song army brigade walked slowly, slowly moving forward, Wang Yu and Yang Weizhong were talking, suddenly saw a commotion, a carriage came on, without any intention of giving way, directly blocked in front of the army, and Zhao Ming's subordinates who opened the road shouted and cursed.
The speed of the oncoming carriage did not come down, and when it approached the Song army a hundred paces, a group of 50 cavalry of the Song army had already surrounded the carriage, and the blades were in their hands; who would have thought that as soon as the big man driving the car raised his horsewhip, the weapons of seven or eight cavalrymen in a circle were swept away by the horsewhip at the same time and flew into the air. Zhao Ming was a great general of the Western Army, and after a hundred battles, he immediately ordered the two hundred shield troops to fight; three people floated out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage with the big man, and rushed into the cavalry around him.
The weapons of the four men were horse whips, iron hammers, long swords, and cooked copper sticks, and they shuttled back and forth among the Song army, and almost every time they killed one person, the Song army fell off their horses one after another; The four of them did not stop, one of them mounted a war horse, clamped the belly of the horse, and rushed towards the shield army like an arrow; the shield army's reaction was a step slower, and there was no time to set up a position in the advance, and they were rushed to pieces by the four people, and most of the soldiers were temporarily blocked from the periphery and could not intervene.
The four of them did not stop, and after killing more than 30 people in two charges, the prancing horse drove away; Zhao Ming was dumbfounded, although he had experienced a hundred battles, but for such a swift and powerful fight, it was unheard of and unseen. It was only that four people killed nearly fifty soldiers in front of the army and left, Zhao Ming couldn't afford to lose that face, and gave an order to "attack".
Zhao Ming has 5,000 people, only 1,000 cavalry are the old troops he brought out from the Western Army, and the remaining 4,000 people are all infantry troops recruited from Hebei. Xin Xingzong received a report of a provocation, and he didn't think so, and in an instant, seeing the battle flag of the front army change, Zhao Ming launched a charge, and he couldn't help but be a flurry.
When Xin Xingzong, Yang Keshi, and Wang Yu's three armies arrived at the front, they saw that Zhao Ming's men and horses were retreating, arrows were raining down on three sides, and the front army was defeated, and Zhao Ming's 1,000 cavalry was less than 300 cavalry. Xin Xingzong ordered Wang Yu to go and answer, and asked a junior colonel to immediately come forward to read Song Huizong's will; Liu Yujing shot the junior colonel to death with an arrow, and shouted: "No need to talk nonsense, isn't it just death, there are only generals with severed heads in Liao, come on." ”
Behind Liu Yujing, wolf smoke rose everywhere, and several Liao troops swept in, like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye it had turned from a black line into a dark cloud, facing the speed of the Song army's advance without slowing down, let alone turning; Liu Yujing also took 2,000 Xi cavalry on the horse and launched an attack from the front. Yang Keshi said with a solemn face: "General Xin, the other party is all cavalry, if we retreat at this moment, we will be pursued and the whole army will collapse, it is better to ask Yang Weizhong in the back for help, we will fight separately, maybe there is still a way to live."
