The army was defeated like a mountain. Shang Boqian attacked from east to west, and the sky was dark. He only focused on the south and rushed forward with all his strength. His army was vast, and there were still a large number of reserve troops that had not entered the battle. Today was the first battle.
, he had no hope of being able to decide the king and his ministers in one battle. This battle still had to be fought, so how could he devote all his troops immediately?
But now, it was this reserve army that had not yet entered the battle that was cut off by Tong Yu's army. The sharp steel knife in Shang Boqian's hand had been curled, and the knife was full of sticky blood, meat, and bones. Victory
The steel fork hanging on the hook was also dripping with blood, which was the blood of others spattered on it.
Countless people and horses were crowded here, it was too dense. His steel fork was far less useful than a steel knife in this environment. They were fighting all the way, and he didn't even have time to use his long weapon. He finally rushed to the back line, and
Seeing a swarm of ants in front of him, a dense cavalry team rushed toward him with howls.
Those soldiers were all Tong Yu's Bashu soldiers, shouting in a dialect he couldn't understand, but the horses under their crotches were all equipped by Shang Bo with all his efforts!
Shang Boqian's heart was bleeding. He couldn't understand why Tong Yu surrendered to Yang Hao, how he was willing to betray his trust and stab him in the heart at such a critical moment.
A complete failure.
When Tong Yu led the army to charge forward, all the Tibetan soldiers thought that their reinforcements had arrived. Reinforcements along the way could not affect the situation on the battlefield, but the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield was very important. When the battle between the two sides was in full swing,
A sudden increase in fresh troops on our side is enough to make the enemy frustrated and lose their desire to fight.
But no one expected that the reinforcements would rush to the battlefield at lightning speed. Without saying a word, they would draw their guns and swords, and break into Shang Boqian's rear formation. The mighty torrent of cavalry would meet the unsuspecting soldiers who were jumping and cheering.
The team immediately penetrated Shang Boqian's rear formation effortlessly like a red-hot steel knife cutting through butter, turning his originally stable rear formation upside down.
Wang Nizhu was stunned, staring with a pair of bull's eyes and shouted: "What is Tong Yu doing? His head was gouged by a horse's hoof, so why did he join our team so stupidly?"
Shang Bo Qianchu understood one thing in an instant: "Tong Yu has surrendered to Yang Hao, and the situation is over!"
He didn't know when Tong Yu, the great thief in Bashu, and the leader of the rebel army who defeated Longyou came into contact with Yang Hao. However, the bloody facts before him told him that this battle had been defeated, and it was a complete defeat.
Even if Tong Yu led his troops to side with Yang Hao, it would only strengthen the opponent's military power. The addition of these 50,000 troops was not enough to make Shang Bo Qiansan's army confused and unable to fight back. But Tong Yu
He suddenly arrived at the critical moment and plunged into his rear formation. Let alone Shang Boqian, any good general who suddenly encountered such a situation would have only one end: a complete defeat.
Shang Bo Qian was furious and immediately ordered the entire army to rush to the rear. He must drive away Tong Yu's troops who broke into the rear. This was the only way to survive. The generals under his command were also aware of the danger. After Shang Bo Qian
Under the command of Yang Jiye, the entire army turned back and attacked their rear formation. As for the enemy in front of them, they could no longer care about it. When Yang Jiye saw Tong Yu arriving as promised, he immediately waved his command flag and ordered the entire army to cover up and kill him.
Only then did the generals realize why Yang Hao boasted about Haikou before the war and actually wanted to capture four forts and four villages in one battle. If he fought well, Shang Boqian's head would be saved in this battle. I'm afraid it wouldn't be difficult. ! The generals gathered their energy and led their troops to rush forward in a swarm. They charged and flanked, and formed a well-organized formation. Now they were simply beating a drowned dog. How many people they wanted to kill only depended on how fast they ran. Who cares about that?
This mass killing was really littered with corpses, blood was flowing, arrows were whizzing, spears and halberds were like forests, the whole land was rippled with waves, and the sky was full of wailing.
"Shang Boqian, leave the dog head before leaving!"
Seeing that they were about to rush away the Tong Yu men and horses fighting on both sides, more than a hundred cavalry suddenly rushed in. They were all wearing light armor, red cloaks, and sabers. They looked majestic and murderous. A tiger general in front came up. The sword slashed across the ground, causing waves to break wherever it passed, and people turned on their backs. As they approached, the bearded general on the horse suddenly screamed violently, stood up, and slashed Huashan down with a single stroke of his sword.
"open!"
Shang Boqian was horrified. Seeing this man charging so fast, he had no time to move his horse to get out of the way, so he had no choice but to abandon his sword and raise his steel fork to meet him. He shouted with all his strength and rushed forward.
The weapon used by Shangbo Qianma to fight is a three-pronged fork with a pure steel fork, which is as thick as a goose egg, and three steel blades, which are shining brightly.
The soldier slashed the knife down, and there was a loud "cang" sound. The knife tip bounced up and sparks flew everywhere. Shang Boqian closed his eyes suddenly. Although the knife bounced away and iron filings splashed into his eyes, he burst into tears. , looking so embarrassed.
That general was none other than Ai Yihai, a tiger general under Yang Hao's command. He couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise when the sword was broken. Then he and Shang Bo's thousand pairs of horses passed by each other, and then a circle of horses appeared, and the gap was broken. The broadsword slashed left and right, knocking down several soldiers guarding Shang Boqian to the ground. Looking at Shang Boqian again, he saw that he had one eye closed, tears rolling down his face, and his appearance was indescribably funny. He couldn't help but laugh loudly: "My dear grandson, why are you crying? Twenty years later you will be a good man again, and you are so worthless."
Shang Boqian had been humiliated like this before, and he couldn't help but feel furious. He wanted to go forward and fight again, but his eyes were too disappointed. At this time, Bald Bu rushed in with blood. When he saw this scene, he stabbed Ai Yihai with his gun and shouted. : "Brother, leave quickly and leave the green hills behind. Don't worry about running out of firewood!"
There was a Tubu who desperately resisted Ai Yihai, but Shangbo Qiangangya made a mistake and continued to rush forward. Tong Yu personally led the army into Shangbo Qianhou's formation, charging forward and killing the Tubo soldiers who were shocked and didn't know why. A piece of them was chopped off, but they quickly reacted. No matter what happened, how could anyone not resist with a steel knife on their neck? Tong Yu and Tieniu rushed forward, while the Tibetan soldiers on the left and right fought hard to kill them. They came and tried to join forces again. For a while, they could only rush forward with all their strength and create greater chaos for the Tibetan soldiers. They could not circle the horses and fight back.
As a result, Shang Boqian finally tore a hole in the ranks of the Bashu soldiers and joined forces with the rear army. Shang Boqian was old and no longer as brave as he used to be. After this killing, his armor was crooked. , exhausted, he finally broke into his own team. Panting heavily, he circled his horse and turned around, still trying to stabilize his position. You must know that once the entire army is defeated, the casualties will be much more serious than in a deadly battle, but there is a glimmer of hope. , he would not choose to escape.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw a young general rushing straight towards him. Not everyone recognized Shang Boqian's appearance, but his big flag was a symbol, and few Tibetan soldiers had complete armor.
, the attire he wears all over his body also marks his identity and is very easy to recognize.
The gun in the young general's hand is really powerful. The tip of the gun spits out and shrinks like the letter of a poisonous snake. When he shakes the gun and stabs it, the shaft of the gun trembles suddenly. One time it runs between the eyebrows, the second time it runs between the shoulders, one horse and three spears are extremely familiar. Hundreds of them are very familiar with it.
The knights with big guns followed closely behind, forming a tight wedge formation, cutting through it with overwhelming force.
Shang Boqian didn't recognize Yang Yanlang, let alone the Yang family's gun, but he could see that the young general's shooting skills were mysterious. His blinded eyes had already healed, but they were rubbed until they were blood red. When he saw the young general, he jumped on his horse with his gun drawn.
When he came, these Xixia generals seemed to have identified him one by one. Even a young boy wanted to take his life. He couldn't help but feel angry. He shouted loudly, held the steel fork tightly, and opened his blood-red eyes.
A pair of eyes rushed forward.
"Bang! Plop, Leng Leng..."
Yang Yanlang shook the big gun in his hand, and a gun flower as big as the mouth of a bowl came out. Between his eyebrows, his throat, his heart, and his lower abdomen, there were four shots. The changes were far greater than before. Shang Bo was shocked. In his hand
The steel fork was not capable of such a sophisticated move, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and use one force to kill Shi Hui, stabbing him in the chest with a fork, forcing Yang Yanlang to withdraw his gun in a way that would hurt both sides.
As soon as Yang Yanlang saw it, he put his gun away and struck three times in a row. The two horses passed by each other. When the two horses crossed the stirrups, the spear in Yang Yanlang's hand suddenly slipped, and his hand slid along the barrel of the gun to a foot.
The half-length spear head part, and then the spear suddenly stabbed out from under the ribs, directly hitting the back of Shang Boqian's head. The spear was sudden like lightning, the shot was extremely ruthless, and the positioning was cunning and vicious. It could have killed Shang Boqian.
Life, but Shang Boqian passed by by mistake. Yang Yanlang's men all fired their guns, and four big guns stabbed Shang Boqian's chest, neck, waist, and legs like lightning. Shang Boqian used his remaining strength and waved his fork to block it.
, knocked out four long spears, reached out and pulled out the long knife from his waist, and with the sound of thunderbolt shouting, he cut a soldier in front of him in half with one knife.
His knife has been sharpened. This knife was replaced by another knife while running. The blade is heavy but sharp. With this powerful knife, the horse almost split into two halves. His body leaned forward and his sitting posture changed.
, Yang Yanlang's shot missed his vital point. The sharp tip of the spear pierced his helmet, passed straight through his scalp, and even his hair bun was torn apart.
A gash was opened on the back of Shang Boqian's head, and his hair and blood suddenly fell down. He was unkempt, and blood flowed down the back of his neck to his body. Shang Boqian was scared to death. He originally raised the long knife in his hand to fight back.
Wanting to show off his cruelty, he hurriedly abandoned the steel fork, flipped the horse's head, and fled away.
Yang Yanlang thrust out the spear and jumped into the Tubo soldiers. The spear was like a spiritual snake. Youer drew it back again. The spear was swallowed and spit out like a snake letter. Before the spear tip came out, the helmet hanging on the spear tip flew away first.
When he got out, he hit a Tibetan soldier on the bridge of his nose with a "pop" sound, which shattered the bridge of his nose. Before he could even scream, his throat and heart were filled with blood, and he fell on his back. Then Yang Yanlang fired a big gun
Vibrating, there was a trembling ripple with a "woo" sound. The two Tubo soldiers on the left and right fell off their horses with a bang as if they were struck by thunder. Before they could stand up, they found that their arm bones had been broken, followed by countless bowl-mouthed weapons.
The horse's hooves trampled down from the top of his head, and after just a few pitiful howls, he was trampled into mud by thousands of troops.
Yang Yanlang relieved himself, circled the horse and looked again. He saw that Shang Boqian had already charged into the formation of the Tibetan soldiers, and was running away in panic. The great achievement at his fingertips was about to fly away. Yang Yanlang couldn't help but become anxious, holding a big weapon in his hand.
With a swing of the gun, he swept away a circle of enemy troops. He quickly took off the bow with his backhand, nocked the arrow, and flew away with a "buzz" sound. Unfortunately, the battlefield was crowded with people and horses were galloping. Yang Yanlang's arrow shot away like a shooting star.
Shang Boqian was very lucky, but a Tibetan soldier galloped past him. The arrow penetrated his ribs hard, but Shang Boqian took advantage of him.
After a scare, Shang Boqian stabilized his position and completely forgot about the thought of harassing his troops. He fled south in a hurry and was pursued and intercepted by Tuoba Haofeng and Zhang Chongwei's troops. Ai Yi
Hai and Yang Yanlang also lingered, and Shang Boqian was in danger one after another, relying on his subordinates to rescue them desperately. In the end, he simply threw away the flag and just ran for his life.
The commander's flag is the soul of an army. If the commander's flag falls, the three armies will no longer have the will to fight. They will disperse in an instant. Shang Boqian's defeat is irreversible.
While Shang Boqian was running for his life, Zhao Guangyi was also running for his life.
From victory to defeat, from heaven to hell, the distance was so close. Zhao Guangyi, who was lying on the donkey cart and jolted to the point of falling apart, could not believe it until now.
In fact, Zhao Guangyi fought very well in the Battle of Youzhou, especially his lightning attack, which took him straight to Youzhou. His momentum frightened the Liao people, who had always been arrogant and rebellious. If Xiao Chuo hadn't refused to give in,
At this time, the Liao people had already given up on the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and had shrunk back to the desert grasslands that existed in the days when they were still living in pursuit of grass and grazing herds.
However, there are still many talented people among the Liao people. The formation of the Song army is the most troublesome thing for them. The 200,000 reinforcements are facing the Song army but they are unable to do anything. They can only watch them launch endless attacks on Youzhou City.
, the reason is that they found it difficult to deal with the Song Army's formation that was developed after countless deliberations and simulations of various enemy situations, so during the stalemate with the Song Army, they had been working hard to study the Song Army's formation, hoping to
Find its weakness.
This weakness was really found by them. They attacked the Song Army's formation every day. The generals stood on a high place, overlooking the overall situation, carefully memorizing the various contingency measures of the Song Army, and then concentrated on research. Soon, they discovered that Song
The army's "Pingrong and Ten Thousand Formations" are invincible, at least to them, because their understanding of the battle map is far behind that of the generals in the Central Plains. Although the Liao people have a high degree of acceptance of Sinology and have a good foundation
After all, they can't compare to the Han people in the Central Plains.
However, the "Pingrong Wanquan Formation" is made up of people. There are no flaws in the formation, but there are flaws in the people. After several days of careful observation and a lot of sacrifices, they finally discovered that this formation had a weakness.
The weak point is the camp of the Bohai Navy. The Bohai Navy was the first to surrender to the Song Army. The second Tielin Army Commander Li Zalucun, who surrendered to the Song Dynasty, only brought more than 200 people there, but the entire Bohai Navy surrendered.
.
With so many soldiers and horses, Zhao Guangyi certainly couldn't raise them like idle men. It happened that he divided his troops to attack the surrounding cities, and also divided his troops to confront the Liao reinforcements.
The Bohai Navy, which had just surrendered, was not loyal enough, so it was not safe to send them out to attack cities and plunder villages, or to confront the Liao army in front of the formation, so they were arranged in the "Pingrong Wanquan Formation".
The Bohai Navy had just surrendered. Not to mention that they were not familiar with the formation. They didn't even have a complete grasp of the flags and orders. When it came to fighting and they needed to evolve according to the formation, they were in a hurry and lost their way.
The Liao people found that this Bohai Navy was the only weakness they could find, so they focused their attack in the direction of the Bohai Navy.
A carefully selected group of soldiers and horses broke through the Bohai Navy's defense line and entered Youzhou City smoothly. Other soldiers and horses did not dare to leave the formation without orders, lest the entire formation collapse.
, and the Bohai Navy was panicked. It had no time to respond, and it did not expect to report the military information promptly and accurately. It commanded an army of 300,000 people. Zhao Guangyi, who was dozens of miles away, did not know the news until long after the Liao army entered the city.
The reinforcements entering the city this way are of little significance in supplementing the strength of Youzhou's defenders. However, this is the first reinforcement to successfully break through the Song army's defense line and enter the city since the Song army besieged the city. The Youzhou defenders were desperate and on the verge of collapse.
There were thunderous cheers. This incident was of immeasurable significance to the Liao army inside and outside the city. Because of this incident, the morale of the defenders was high and their determination to persevere became stronger. The Liao reinforcements outside the city also
The state of decline is gone, and confidence is being restored.
When Zhao Guangyi learned that the Liao reinforcements had entered the city, he couldn't help but became furious. He immediately moved the imperial camp from Baoguang Temple to the north of the city, went to the front line in person, and launched an attack on the Liao reinforcements stationed on the Qinghe line and the Youzhou city defenders at the same time.
The emperor was angry, blood flowed, and the Liao reinforcements were defeated in this battle. However, Youzhou City was still firmly in the hands of the Liao people, and the Liao flag was still flying on the top of Youzhou City.
After that, the already desperate Liao reinforcements and city defenders launched an unyielding resistance again. If these troops had not entered the city, maybe Youzhou City would have raised a white flag, and maybe the Liao's 200,000 reinforcements would have already been
They dejectedly gave up the rescue and returned north sadly, but because of this incident, their resistance was extended for at least a month. The prolongation of time made the balance of victory in the war begin to tilt towards the Liao people. At this time, Brother Yelvxiu came.
When Guderian marched his army into the Soviet Union with overwhelming momentum and sang loudly all the way, did he ever think that he would encounter Zhukov in Leningrad?
When the British defeated the Italians in Africa and fled in panic, did they ever expect to encounter the "Desert Fox"?
Many times, the development of history is just an accident, completely changed because of a certain person or a certain thing.
Traveling to a foreign country and fighting for a long time have made the soldiers begin to feel tired. The Liao defenders, who were as tough as steel wires, often seemed to be broken, but they persisted with their fighting spirit, making it possible for them to work hard.
The soldiers who had gained nothing had begun to feel a little war-weary. At this time, Brother Yeluxiu led the elite soldiers of the Fifth Academy of Delai to come from Shangjing in a fierce manner.
The Fifth Academy and the Sixth Academy were the most elite troops in the Liao Kingdom. The Sixth Academy was stationed on the Western Front. It had gone to Yinzhou to pursue King Yelusheng of Qing. The Fifth Academy had been stationed on the Eastern Front.
This is the first appearance.
This army had just defeated the coalition forces of the Jurchens and the Shiwei people, driven the Shiwei people back to the bitter cold land of the far north like rabbits, and drove the Jurchens into the deep mountains and old forests. They were about to continue to pursue them relentlessly and completely.
When the enemy was defeated and crippled, Brother Yelvxiu received the order from Empress Dowager Xiao. So, the warriors from the Fifth Academy of Diela mounted their war horses, carrying Beizhu mink skins, holding the Jurchen woman under their arms, and fought with high spirits.
After returning to Shangjing, he threw the trophies into his house and then headed towards Nanjing non-stop.
Brother Yelvxiu arrived in Youzhou and was secretly surprised when he learned that six reinforcements had been defeated by the Song army and had not even fought a decent battle. After some careful thinking, he drew up a plan.
A bold plan, this plan got the support of Yelu Xiezhen, so with the cooperation of the two tiger generals, a conspiracy began to reverse the entire situation of the war.
The next day, Yelu Xiezhen still challenged the Song army, but was still defeated. As the Liao army reinforcements successfully entered the city, which enhanced the fighting spirit of the defenders, Zhao Guangyi's patience was exhausted when he saw that the victory over the city would be elusive.
However, in his rage, he had forgotten to make full use of his own strengths and suppress the enemy's weaknesses. He became ruthless and wanted to defeat the reinforcements first.
So when the Liao army returned defeated as usual, this time he did not wave and watch the defeated army leave, but fiercely ordered the pursuit and completely tore up the dog-skin plaster. The Song army pursued them in a mighty manner, with two legs
Chasing four legs, you will be out of breath, but you can only eat dirt behind the horse's butt.
In the evening, when they pursued them to the vicinity of the Gaoliang River, Yelvxiu's troops from the Fifth Academy of Diera each held two torches and roared in the night, clashing back and forth. Looking from a distance, it was not known how many reinforcements were coming, so Zhao Guangyi
The entire army was ordered to camp near the river to resist the enemy. However, this place was a vast plain, and the Song army that hurriedly pursued it was exhausted and their formation was scattered. There were neither trenches nor fences, nor horse antlers, nor deer antlers.
The crossbows, large shields, watchtower carts and other things that were deployed for defense had not even had time to arrange the flags and horns of each battalion. How could Brother Yelvxiu let go of this opportunity? The advantage of the cavalry was finally brought into play. Liao
The man fought back viciously.
After the defense was deployed, Zhao Guangyi also immediately discovered the shortcomings of setting up a camp here, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the formation and retreat. Each battalion took turns to exchange, fight and leave, and retreated to Youzhou City. Unfortunately... it was too late. Not only was it too late,
And it was just a retreat without withdrawing the camp. At the moment of this chaotic retreat, the Liao army counterattacked, and they collided with each other. It was as if Zhao Guangyi took the initiative to cooperate with Brother Yelvxiu's attack. Since entering the Liao Dynasty, he has been fighting
The invincible Song army was completely defeated as soon as they came into contact.
War is so wonderful. Yesterday, the winner was the king, and today the loser is the bandit. The key to victory or defeat is just an opportunity.
The Datong Army, the troops of the Fifth Academy, the clan troops outside Youzhou, and the Han Cavalry Army launched endless fierce attacks on the Song Imperial Army from all directions, like lions fighting rabbits. The Song Army resisted desperately, and after the initial
After panicking, they gradually stabilized their position. If they could hold on for a while longer and wait until the Song army under Youzhou City came to the rescue, it was still difficult to predict how the battle in Youzhou would turn out, and Brother Yelu Xiu might not be able to turn the tide.
But there are no ifs on the battlefield, only results.
The result was that Brother Yelvxiu, like a mad tiger, led the elite cavalry of the Fifth Academy who had just arrived and had high morale, and pounced directly on Zhao Guangyi's Chinese army. Under the yellow Luo umbrella, was the Song Dynasty
As long as the emperor of the country is killed, even if there are millions of Song troops around, the leaderless dragons will turn into snakes!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
In the darkness of the night, Brother Yelvxiu didn't know how many people he killed or how many injuries he suffered. When he was stabbed in the hind leg by a gunshot, he dismounted from his horse and fainted in pain, and then he was carried down by the soldiers. But Brother Yelvxiu had just...
After waking up, he immediately rushed forward again. If he couldn't walk, he was carried by others. He shouted and commanded the three armies with only one goal: the imperial camp of the Song Army.
In the night, under the moonlight, Zhao Guangyi's imperial camp was like a blazing torch, and the 200,000 Liao troops were like moths rushing to the flames, risking their lives and just rushing there. Every Liao person now understands one thing
Logically speaking, Brother Yelvxiu created an opportunity for them, but whether they could keep their home or return to their wandering nomadic life, everything depended on the Han emperor who was in the imperial camp of the Song army.
If he dies, the Liao people will have a great victory. If they cannot be defeated tonight, then the red sun will rise tomorrow and they will still be greeted by endless despair.
All the Liao people went crazy, howling and screaming, and rushed towards the Song army's imperial camp regardless of sacrifice. The already exhausted Song army could not hold on any longer. The left wing was defeated first, followed by the right wing, and then the front completely collapsed.
In the chaos, Zhao Guangyi was hit by an arrow in the butt and thigh. The Liao people's arrows were all toxins quenched by arsenic, wolf dung and other substances. Although the amount was very small and not fatal, it could injure the body.
Weaker and more difficult to heal.
At this time, it was all in the dark, and even the military doctor could not be found. They did not bother to bandage and disinfect. They hurriedly pulled out sharp arrows, took the emperor and left. In the chaos, the soldiers did not distinguish between east, west, north and west, only picking up and shouting to kill.
Escape to a place with few sounds.
Historically, the battle of Feishui was completely defeated by the Imperial Guards. In the Battle of Feishui, nearly one million soldiers of Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty were killed by 80,000 land and sea soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the original history, there was also the Ming Dynasty Tumu Fort Incident, where the Grand Master Wala was defeated.
First, 80,000 Tatar soldiers defeated the Ming army of 500,000, and another one was just around the corner.
The victory came so suddenly that when the Liao people won a great victory, they themselves thought it was a dream.
The defeat came so suddenly. When the Song army was in panic and ran for their lives, they almost thought they were living a nightmare.
That night, Shang Boqian was also running for his life. His hair was disheveled and his body was covered with blood scabs. His soldiers fled, and there were less than a hundred people closely following him. His sworn brother was bald, and all the kings and pigs disappeared in the melee. Horse hooves were obtained.
, the night is deep, the stars are sparse and the moon is bright, a dark city pass stands quietly on the ground in front of it.
"Sir, we have arrived at Jiuyang Village."
The guard shouted in surprise, and the dazed Shang Boqian suddenly cheered up. Jiuyangzhai, this is his old camp. There are at least 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, as well as the people in the city and the surrounding suburbs, Hu
Everyone, male, female, old or young, is good at riding and shooting. One of them is almost a soldier. Now here, he still has a chance, he still has a chance!
As soon as Shang Boqian mentioned the war horses, the exhausted men and horses used their last strength and rushed towards his last hope.
