Chapter 963: Take the initiative
In the left-behind division, Lu Yihao has absolute trust in Yang Zhi, and it can be seen from secretly transferring Wang Yan and sending him to the east that Yang Zhi has already planned; Yang Zhi said lightly: "Tomorrow is our only chance to defeat Wanyan Tart, in Bianliang City, I don't know how many people are spies of the Jin army, and I don't know how many people are frightened by the Jin army and will betray us because of money and life, so I would rather believe Zhang Yong them than believe in the local officers in Bianliang." Tomorrow I will go out, you stay and defend the city with Chong Bin and Xue Guang, and Wang Shan and Zhang Yong stay in the city. ”
Lu Yihao nodded, this has become a habit of Yang Zhi's army, all the troops that cannot be trusted are excluded, Zhang Yong's men and horses have hardly done any decent battles with the Jin army, if they are pulled out, they may lose their fighting spirit in a blink of an eye, it is better to stay in the city to assist Wang Shan.
At dawn the next day, after learning that the Jin army was approaching, Yang Zhi and Yang Yizhong, Li Qiong and others drove out of Bianliang City, and the troops around him included the 30,000 infantry troops of Li Yanxian, Liang Xing, and Wang Xie, the 13,000 cavalry of Yang Yizhong and Wang Gang, and the 12,000 forbidden troops of Li Qiong, Yang Zhongwu, Sang Zhong, and Xu Wen, a total of 55,000 people. The sound of the war drums "Knock, knock, knock!" sounded so that everyone inside and outside the city felt that it was the beginning of Armageddon, and their hearts trembled.
Wanyan tart lazy led 30,000 cavalry to line up on the opposite side of the Dingbei army, so that the infantry army behind could catch up as soon as possible, and the abducted horse was defeated twice in the hands of Yang Zhi, so that the generals of the Jin State understood that they should first let the infantry army consume the strength of the other party, and then launch a sudden attack of the cavalry. Wanyan had 70,000 infantry under his command, and he believed that his army would be able to crush any tactics of the Dingbei army with strong crossbows and arrows.
Wang Gang rode behind Yang Zhi, the excitement of his mood was indescribable, he began to follow Yang Zhi from Yang Zhi's departure in Bianliang, and it was the first time to participate in such a large-scale battle, Wang Gang belonged to the kind of person who could fight a tough battle at a critical time, there was no fear in his heart, he and the three thousand heavy armored cavalry behind him both believed that they would not lose today. For the Dingbei Army, Yang Zhi is not just a general, but a god of war who specializes in bringing victory.
The arrays of the two sides are one mile apart, the armor of the Jin army shines under the rising sun, the wind howls in the wilderness, and the big flags on both sides are blown and hunted, and it seems that the disputes in the world are not regarded as one thing at all; ”
Xu Wen put down the telescope to observe the enemy's situation, nodded and said: "Now that the sun is opposite us, if the other party does not act immediately, after an hour, the sun's illumination on both of us will be the same; The telescope can really see clearly, the thunderbolt of the firearms battalion is really so powerful?"
Li Qiong shrugged his shoulders and said that he did not know the power of the thunderbolt, and why the Jin army was tired; Yang Jin was responsible for harassing the Jin army in five counties yesterday, and he tossed it all night, and even the county seat of Kao County was burned by Yang Jin's prodigal son who put flammable materials in advance. The Jin army came so early, just chasing Yang and coming all the way, and he didn't sleep for almost half of the night.
A sudden and powerful horn sounded on the opposite side, the piercing horn came one after another, hundreds of Jurchen cavalry on both sides of the battle, and the Wanyan tart who was standing on the horse was lazy under the support of Alu Bu, Wulin Jingtai, Tuoba Yewu and other generals, rushed to the front of the formation, his eyes were murderous, and he said in a deep voice: "Is the other party determined to fight one against two?"
Aru nodded and said, "Look at the banner is Yang Zhi, he is sure that we are in a hurry at night, and now is the time to be tired." ”
Alu Bu was a little puzzled in his heart, but the words of persuasion could not be spoken, the Jin army has always won more with less, and today the army is twice as large as the other party, if the army is collected and set up a village, it is really a little unreasonable. Especially Yang Zhi, who is on the opposite side, is known as the first general in the Dingbei Army, and has almost defeated most of the famous generals of the Jin Army.
Wanyan tart lazily saw Arubu's entanglement, sneered, and said proudly: "Now our army is in Shunguang, running in the middle of the night and not fighting, just in one go, kill him without leaving a piece of armor." First let the infantry consume the opponent's stacked formations and infantry troops, then let the kidnappers attack, and finally send out the heavy cavalry, send someone to see if the thunderbolt cannons of Otunzaru are ready, and drag the fifty cannons up. ”
Wanyan tart lazy 30,000 cavalry are all cavalry of all ethnic groups, even including the Han people in Youzhou, of which there are only 2,000 Tiefutu and 5,000 kidnapping horses, naturally reluctant to use it in the charge; most of the 70,000 infantry troops are the original Song army's surrendered army, Wanyan tart lazy does not care about the life and death of these people, this battle is over, it is a big deal to re-recruit from the surrendered Song army. The thunderbolt cannon captured from the Song people was amazingly powerful, which just allowed the Dingbei army to taste the power of the thunderbolt cannon itself.
Wanyan raised his hand lazily, and Aru Bu didn't hesitate anymore, and shouted: "Attack." ”
The horns of the Jin army suddenly became agitated, and the flag bearer behind Wan Yan was lazy and immediately played the flag when he heard the order, and the sound of drums shook the sky, and with the flipping of the flag, 70,000 Jin army infantry troops surged up like the tide; the Dingbei army raised its shields, bows and arrows, and began to shoot in turns, and the Jin army, under the command of the generals, also used shields and crossbows to fight back while running, and saw that the two sides were getting closer and closer.
"Boom, boom. ”
An earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded behind Jin Jun, the earth shook, and a mushroom cloud rose into the air, as if some magic was released by demons and monsters, revealing a hideous face behind Jin Jun. Immediately, the sound of fighting came from afar, and the Jin army, including Wanyan tart lazy and others, were startled by the explosion, tens of thousands of war horses jumped and neighed, and the attacking infantry turned back one after another, not knowing what happened behind.
Yang Yizhong's 10,000 cavalry suddenly launched an attack at this time, Yang Yizhong took the lead, holding an iron spear to lead the rush into the Jin army, and the cavalry behind him shouted in unison, waving swords and axes in the sun with a dazzling cold light. The advancing Jin army infantry was caught off guard and was confused for a while, especially when this group of Jin troops had suffered enough from the Jin army's iron cavalry when they were in the Song army, and their fear of the cavalry was extremely serious.
The Jin general, who commanded the infantry army, was still shouting loudly, and after the dozen or so generals at the front were shot, he could no longer maintain the posture of attacking, so he had to let the Jin soldiers flee back. Yang Yizhong's cavalry killed a round and forth in the Jin army, and withdrew to the camp of the Dingbei army with tens of thousands of heads.
