The battle in the northeast of Yixian County is not a classic example of defeating more with less. +
But this was a typical battle in which the cavalry defeated the infantry and the officers and soldiers defeated the rebels.
Song Jingang is not ignorant of military affairs. He is a rebel leader who broke out from the rebellion. Being able to lead a team to survive to this day also shows his ability to lead troops.
But just because he came from a wild background and relied entirely on his fighting experience, his vision was very limited.
He had no idea what it would be like when an elite cavalry attacked the infantry formation without any reservation.
When he led his troops out of Yi County, he was still laughing at Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, who knew nothing about military affairs. He only sent a thousand cavalry as the vanguard to attack small towns like Laishui, but the follow-up army was still missing.
This gave him the opportunity to annihilate the cavalry.
He consciously reacted quickly and led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with great momentum, rushing to the bank of Laishui.
In order to reach the shore of Laishui before the main force of Youzhou Army, his army marched very fast.
The forward part has almost left the county boundary of Yixian County, but the tail behind is still in the county town.
In Yuchi Gong's eyes, this was simply putting the merits of war in front of him, and he could get them as long as he stretched out his hand.
Prepared to attack but not prepared, a strong army defeats a weak army, and the numerical advantage has been completely thrown away by the rebel army.
Yuchi Gong led a thousand cavalry out of Laishui City without hesitation.
After traveling for more than twenty miles, they first stopped in the southwest of Laishui City and defeated more than 500 cavalrymen who were cruising in front of the rebel army like they were chopping up melons and vegetables.
Then……
In fact, it was nothing more than what happened. Yuchi Gong led his army commander to march for dozens of miles. In one day, he fought with Song Jingang's rebel army more than ten times.
They killed Song Jingang's army, which was like a long dragon, and scattered corpses all over the field. They were completely defeated.
Then he went all out and rushed into Shanggu County City along with Song Jingang who was running away like crazy.
This battle showed the shocking impact of the Heng'an Town Army in the field. Of course, when the Sui officers and soldiers faced the rebel army, this was actually the effect.
Zhang Xutuo's tribe was just a local army. The reason why Zhang Xutuo became a famous general in the late Sui Dynasty was because of the huge gap in combat effectiveness between the official army and the rebel army.
Therefore, Yuchi Gong's achievements this time have nothing to boast about.
When a strong cavalry force like the Heng'an Town Army encounters rebel troops in a field battle when their morale is high, the result is inevitable.
In the west of Yi County, Yuchi Gong's troops captured Song Jingang alive, defeated Song Jingang's tens of thousands of rebel troops at the cost of nearly a hundred cavalry casualties, and captured Shanggu County, winning a great victory.
At this time, Yanmen County Wei Wang Zhibian led the following five thousand cavalry and rushed to Shanggu one after another, and quickly participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the defeated army.
This is the new army of the Heng'an Town Army. The first battle with the Yanmen and Loufan cavalry in Hebei was similar to cleaning the battlefield, but with their help, thousands of rebel soldiers were captured.
The rebel army also performed their inherent drama of fleeing in all directions. A large part of the rebel army ran to the south and surrendered to Wei Daoer. At this time, they did not know. The people who defeated them were people from Jin. They thought they were
Where is the Youzhou Army?
The frightened Wei Daoer rebel army spent a long time in fear. The news reached the ears of Dou Jiande in the south, and Dou Jiande and his generals were also frightened.
They all thought that the Youzhou Army was so capable of fighting, but everyone was just kidding, so the sound of mobilizing the army north suddenly became quieter...
Dou Jiande thought about it and sent someone to find Wei Dao'er, and he followed his habit of combining vertical and horizontal forces.
For Li Po, this was another unexpected victory.
At the same time, it also gave him a more intuitive impression of the rebel army in Hebei. A thousand cavalry could easily defeat tens of thousands of rebel troops in the field. It would be great if the Turks were so cowardly. Unfortunately,
They are just bandits causing chaos in Hebei.
Later, he sent an order to Yuchi Gong and Wang Zhibian, asking them to leave two thousand men and horses to garrison Yixian County, and the remaining thousands of horses to come to Zhuo County immediately to listen to the order.
The two men led the army very quickly, which was not beyond Li Po's expectation. Yuchi Gong also wanted to strive for credit. The territory of the Heng'an Town Army was rapidly expanding, and the generals under Li Po's command were all thinking about getting promoted to higher ranks.
Woolen cloth.
It's just that Yuchi has always been meticulous and will not be as straightforward and reckless as Luo Shixin. He just personally brought Song Jinjiang and several of his subordinates to Li Po.
Not a single superfluous word was said, but the intention of boasting was clearly visible.
As Yuchi Gong expected, Li Po was not interested in meeting these rebel leaders at all, so he quickly sent an order to him to execute the law on the spot.
The heads of several well-known people in Hebei fell to the ground immediately.
Just like Liu Wuzhou, Huang Ziying and others in Mayi City, they died simply.
By this time, Li Po's views on these rebel leaders, the so-called reckless heroes, became known to everyone.
Song Jingang was actually the second famous hero of the late Sui Dynasty who died at the hands of Li Po.
He could no longer follow Liu Wuzhou and cause huge turmoil in Jin, nor could he divorce his wife and marry Liu Wuzhou's sister. However, he still followed the existing trajectory and died at the hands of the same person like Liu Wuzhou, but he changed from a Turk to a
Just became the Heng'an Zhenjun.
Fate is very strange. Even if it deviates from the original route, it still creates some quite darkly humorous events.
Just blaming the culprit and not caring about the rest is Li Po's usual approach.
After killing Song Jingang and others, he ordered the remaining prisoners of war, as well as the few remaining people in Shanggu County, to be sent back to Yunnei.
Song Jingang's tribe also had some food, grass and weapons, but not a lot. They were all sent back together, leaving only some of the soldiers, armor and arrows that could still be seen for the army to use.
In late May of the thirteenth year of Daye, more than 13,000 cavalry troops finally gathered behind Zhuoxian County, silently waiting for the arrival of the Youzhou Army.
Luo Shixin, Yu Chigong and others were also preparing diligently to achieve military exploits in the next battle, so that they could stand out and dominate others when the merits were judged and rewarded later.
This was not the first time that Li Po had waited for a fighter plane. He was very patient this time, but as usual, time was not on the side of the Heng'an Town Army, so the feeling of waiting was quite uncomfortable.
In fact, the response from the direction of Jicheng was very fast. On the day after the letter from Zhuoxian to the county for help arrived, Luo Yi sent scouts to Zhuoxian to inquire about the enemy's situation, and at the same time ordered the various units of the Youzhou Army to assemble and prepare
Off to war.
Luo Yi was very capable in running the army. The rebel army like Song Jingang was far from the Youzhou army in terms of morale, ordnance and equipment, or even combat power.
This is also the reason why the Youzhou Army was able to hold on to a corner and defeated Li Shanfei, Gao Shida and others one after another.
If it weren't for Xue Shixiong and Guo Xuan who sent troops to suppress the bandits but failed, and another mutiny broke out within the Youzhou Army, the Youzhou Army at this time would be so powerful in Hebei that Dou Jiande and others would not dare to face it.
By the time Luo Yi led 15,000 Youzhou troops out of Jicheng, he actually felt something was wrong.
The scouts encountered snipers one after another and were unable to penetrate deep into Zhuoxian County to detect the enemy's situation.
This phenomenon was something he had never encountered before.
Even when Li Shanfei led hundreds of thousands of rebel troops to besiege Youzhou, before his army arrived, the scouts could still send back news. When did Song Jingang and Wei Daoer become so capable? They were able to cut off the road to this point.
How were the documents requesting help from Zhuo County sent out?
This obviously made him alert, so the Youzhou Army did not march very fast, and they would never pull out a long dragon like Song Jingang and let others slaughter them.
However, having said that, the geographical location of Zhuoxian County is too important for Youzhou. Zhuoxian County is adjacent to Laishui to the west, Juma River, Baihegou and other dangerous places to the south, Fangshan Mountain to the north, and to the southwest is the center of Youzhou.
portal.
It has similar functions to Juyongguan in the north of Youzhou.
Only because of this, Luo Yi led troops to rescue Zhuoxian County several times, and continued to win over the Lu family in Zhuoxian County. Unfortunately, a wealthy family like the Lu family in Hebei was always unwilling to obey, and he needed more effort and patience.
Therefore, he also deliberately delayed sending troops to garrison Zhuoxian County, hoping to make the wealthy families in Zhuoxian County such as the Lu family suffer a little, and he would come again to help them in times of trouble.
When he received a letter asking for help from Zhuo County, he was quite happy and felt that the time had come.
But now, the smell of danger made him regret that he should not have ignored Zhuoxian before.
At this time, he also missed the Xue brothers very much. Although those two guys were unruly, they were both good soldiers in marching and fighting, and they also had some strategies.
And these confidant generals around him are not bad at fighting, but if they really want to discuss important matters in the army, it is a waste of time to come to them.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Luo Yi sent out additional scouts while speeding up the march of the army.
This was based on his reaction to his confidence in the combat power of the Youzhou Army under his command.
And Luo Yi also didn't believe that in Hebei today, except for Dou Jiande, Wei Daoer, and Song Jingang who came together, who else could lay siege to the Youzhou Army and provide reinforcements.
Little did he know that before entering Zhuoxian County, every move of the Youzhou Army was already within the enemy's sight.
They didn't take a step toward Zhuoxian, and they were getting closer and closer to a trap that was not a trap.
This time, no one knows what brilliant sparks will be produced when the two elite frontier armies from Jin and Hebei meet.
But at this moment, one side is ready to attack, and the other side is still unaware that the balance of victory in this battle has already tilted towards the visitors from Jin at the beginning.
Of course, the strategic and tactical initiative was already firmly in the hands of the Heng'an Town Army the moment they successfully walked out of Feihu Road.
(Monthly ticket, monthly ticket, how should I write about this battle? Well, Ah Cao will go back and check the general’s blood to get a feel for it.)
