Chapter 1520 The old army of Jingnan, Li Xiaozhong is in trouble
The curtain gradually fell, the sunset was as red as blood, the battlefield was full of blood, and the vanguard of the rebel army had begun to clean up the battlefield.
Yang Zaixing fought in a bloody battle, and finally killed the enemy general Suoli Yishi who met on the narrow road with one shot. The Jin army was defeated and leaderless, and powerful generals such as Han Shizhong and Niu Gao led their troops to cover up the enemy.
This group of troops was finally almost wiped out, and thousands of Song people were saved. Xiao Tang led his rebel army to finally achieve their first great victory on Zairu Hedong Road.
However, in the current all-out war against the Jin army on Hedong Road, the two sides in the necessary battle still have to test each other and gradually find out the details of each other through small-scale conflicts between soldiers and horses. In addition to Yang Zaixing riding alone to break into the formation, there are also Han Shizhong and Niu Gao galloping
In addition to the battle of aid, small groups of soldiers and horses from both sides in the surrounding areas had been repeatedly entangled and tested, and several more battles were fought under the cover of other groups of soldiers and horses.
By the time Xiao Tang had led the various units of the Chinese army to join the vanguard army and set up a series of camps to stabilize the position, he also knew that the Jin army's strategic deployment was also very clear. The main focus was to besiege Taiyuan, a military important place on Hedong Road, and another
Other troops opened their claws and repeatedly inspected the weak points of the Song army's garrison force. They invaded prefectures and plundered counties rapidly and frantically. Not only did this intend to drag the entire Hedong Road into the flames of war, the Song army was exhausted.
At the same time, where the garrison strength is weak, and where the state capital is a critical place, and the troops have to be divided for rescue, I am afraid that the commanders such as Wanyan Nianhan of the Jin Army already know the information.
On the other hand, the Song Army was involved in the intervention of the imperial court to urge the middle-ranking generals of the Zhong Division to use military strategies, and because the old and young Mr. Zhong was already old, there were undercurrents in the Western Army that had other thoughts... The people who experienced the Yanyun War
The various departments of the Western Army were also fragmented and seemed to no longer have the momentum of the Song Army's elite when they were guarding the border and the Xia Army was attacking. This also allowed the Jin Army to completely occupy the active position strategically.
Along the way, Xiao Tang also thought in his mind: In order to solve the siege of Taiyuan and the trouble in Hedong, I am afraid that it will no longer be possible to defeat Wanyan Orulubu in one fell swoop like before, and it is bound to first completely disrupt the Jin people's deployment.
...
The rebel army's military camp was set up in the relatively flat area of Xiangyuan, Longde Prefecture. It is not far from Taiping Station, Huiting Town and other places adjacent to the Longde official road in the east of the river. The access is wide and the camp guards can easily patrol.
, and tightly blocked the route that the Jin army could use to travel from south to north. After all, although the Jin people were rampant on Hedong Road and many state capitals fell successively, Taiyuan and other important military places were not lost. Although the opponent conquered other cities for a while,
, they also mainly plundered the warehouses and warehouses in the city, and searched for money, grain, weapons, young men, and livestock. They were also unable to allocate troops equally to defend every city they conquered.
Just like before, in Taigu, Qixian and other places, the Western Army and the Jin Army fought tooth and nail in repeated tug-of-wars. In the end, they were all defeated one after another due to the inability to follow up. However, Xiao Tang led a large army to rush to the boundary of Longde Prefecture.
After conducting several rounds of outpost battles, the Jin army was able to establish a foothold here after invading the short-lived state capital, and then recovered all the counties and towns under its rule.
At this time, in the commander's tent, several wounds on his body were tightly bandaged with linen. The condition of the injuries should not be underestimated, but Yang Zaixingwu took a selfie of his chest and praised his ability to the leaders present, laughed loudly, and risked his life to rush in and stab the gold with a spear.
General Suoli Yishi's feat of decapitating an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops was in line with the temper of many fierce and brave men present. They also praised Yang Zaixing for his bravery. As for Yang Zaixing
He was young and energetic, so he smiled carelessly and accepted the compliments from his brothers.
On the other hand, Yang Zhi, the general of the Tianbo Army, still had a long face. If they were getting along in a different place, and if he was leading a team of soldiers and horses to scout and encountered foreign barbarians enslaving and escorting many Song people, he would certainly first consider how to deal with it.
The enemy troops circled around and rescued the fellow villagers who had been harmed by the Tartar foreign invaders in the Hedong area, but they did not back down and avoid it... But at least they had to make good arrangements before the war. Yang Zaixing was not a good boy. He encountered a force that was superior to his own.
The enemy's army was more than ten times larger, but they happily rushed straight into the enemy's formation. Even Qin Ming, Suo Chao and other generals who were famous for fighting fiercely and risking their lives among the Ma Bu Army were not so reckless.
!
Although Yang Zhi, who was very strict in running the army, recognized that Yang Zaixing had made great contributions this time, he still wanted to stand up and make a scene. He scolded him with a cold face for rushing into the enemy without knowing the details of the enemy. It was really too reckless.
Gao, Han Shizhong led his troops to help just in time, but was surrounded by the Jin army with a large number of people. How could your boy survive?
But when Yang Zaixing saw this, he stiffened his neck and said with a smile: "Brother Yang Zhi, when you selected the front and sent me as a sentinel, you did give instructions to teach me not to be impulsive and reckless, and to strictly abide by military orders. But.
I have sent my brothers to report the movements of the gold thieves on sentry duty, and the opportunity has not been delayed. How does this violate military law? Brother Xiao Tang also once sent a message to all military units if they encounter civilians who have fallen into the hands of foreign invaders.
When you are a common people, you must first assess the situation and rescue those who can be saved. My younger brother is not as cautious as your elder brother, and you have been in charge of the army for a long time. Therefore, I encountered the Jin army and my compatriots from the Song Dynasty were restrained.
When I was with the Tartars, I couldn't think of anything else and couldn't care about anything else except fighting to the death!
The Jurchen Tatars have been rampant for a long time. Now that my younger brother is riding alone into the formation, beheading them and seizing the flag and returning them, wouldn't it also greatly dampen the spirit of those guys? Besides, it is certainly the two brothers Niu Gao and Han Shizhong who come to help.
It was just in time that I achieved this great achievement, but with my little brother’s ability, how did you know that I couldn’t kill all the Jin Army Tatars, and then come back to meet all the brothers?”
Yang Zhi's face turned red in the face of this young man who said only a few words. This descendant of the generals of the Yang family, who originally had a stern attitude in running the army, was still a bit irritated by the brave and courageous Yang Zaixing.
The habitual boy was angry and happy, and his instincts still needed to be tempered. Xiao Tang also knew that after all, Yang Zaixing was a typical tiger general who was good at breaking through formations and was extremely keen on charging into formations. In the official history, he
He once single-handedly charged into the Jin Army's formation with the intention of capturing Wanyan Wushu alive. Although he failed, he killed hundreds of Jin's troops before he could urge his horse back to the formation. Moreover, according to Yang Zaixing's original trajectory, he was ultimately outnumbered in Xiaoshanghe.
, was hit by countless arrows and died heroically in battle, wasn't it because when he commanded more than a hundred cavalry and encountered a large Jin army, he still took the initiative to fight the enemy?
After thinking about it in his mind, Xiao Tang then said to Yang Zaixing: "Brother, you are excellent in martial arts, and you are not afraid of death in battle. You are worthy of being a good man who walks in front of you, drinks blood, and kills the enemy with consequences. But even if you can't do it this time,
Many people were killed in and out of the Jin Army formation. How many of the brothers who rushed into the Jin Army formation with you risking their lives, but how many survived? Even if you acted according to the opportunity in the previous battle, even though you did not violate military law,
However, if it is not a dangerous juncture of risking death and resurrecting, the military law is of course absolutely determined not to be violated, and Brother Yang Zhi also deliberately advises you that even if you have to adapt to the battle, you must think carefully. You must know that when two armies are fighting, the courage of one person will not affect the outcome of the battle.
, To be a general, you must not only be brave and courageous, but you must also think more about your brothers who have been with you through life and death."
Although Yang Zaixing was willing to fight without his life, he still had a somewhat rebellious character. First, he heard that Yang Zhi insisted on pouring cold water on him when he was full of will, which also made him feel that the boss was not happy. If I go head-on, I have already learned from the Jurchen Tatars.
Why did he make so much noise? But Yang Zaixing still listened to Xiao Tang's words, especially when he heard Xiao Tang mention those sentries who followed him and resolutely rushed into the Jin army formation, but now no one survived.
Looking at brother Qingqi, Yang Zaixing couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and then respectfully bowed his hands to Xiao Tang and said yes.
When it came to the military discussion of continuing to march north through the Weisheng Army, Liaozhou and other places to support the Seed Division and resist the Jin Army to break the siege of Taiyuan, Xiao Tang could not help but hesitate for a while, because originally Hedong Road and even the surrounding areas
The strategically important military prefecture was under great pressure due to the fierce attack by the Jin army. It was necessary to plan carefully whether it could deploy troops and horses to protect all the strategically important places in the Song Dynasty as much as possible.
However, not long after the soldiers and horses arrived here and set up camp, there was another urgent news from the Song army: because the Jin people were surrounding Taiyuan to frighten Guanzhong, Fan Zhixu, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture dispatched by the imperial court, and Huan Qing
Wang Si, King Xihe mobilized the Imperial Army to rush to aid Hedong, but the Song army encountered Ulu's withdrawal. Aqian was lazy and pulled away from Su. The Jin army led by Olun intercepted and killed him, and was defeated and dispersed. The Jin army took advantage of the situation and captured Hedong.
The road is adjacent to Shaanzhou (Sanmenxia City, Henan Province). Due to the strategic location of Shaanzhou, the Jin Army can not only attack the Gyeonggi Road from Luoyang and Mengzhou, Xijing, but also most likely outflank the rebel army from the rear.
It also cut off the connections between the tribes led by Xiao Tang who advanced on the Hedong Road and the Song army and other rebel troops in the capital, Jingdong.
Fortunately, not long after the Jin soldiers captured the Shaanxi Prefecture, another Song general and his subordinates sneaked into the city and set off a fire. They cooperated internally and externally, and temporarily defeated the foreign invaders and Tartars who had an unstable foothold and limited troops. It was only the Jin soldiers.
Ma regrouped his army and besieged the city again. Although the Song general led the soldiers and civilians of Shaanzhou to resist desperately, the current situation is still extremely dangerous...
The Song general who recaptured the Shaanzhou city and is now leading the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight against the Jin army is also Li Xiaozhong, Xiao Tang's old subordinate who originally served in the Jingnan Army.
