Shao Song - Vol 2.3 Chapter 8

“Shao Song (!

“Where are Dangxiang’er and Mongolia’s? Why haven’t they come yet?!”

On the 29th of the first lunar month of the tenth year of Jianyan, a small river bank a few miles south of Luxian County, a majestic Song Jiang wearing a zhajia was furious and was waving a knife with one hand.

On his side, there are still more than a thousand soldiers of the Song Army imperial battalion lined up by the river, facing a stone bridge behind the river desperately holding on.

More peripherally, it was a full two thousand golden army armoured riding and riding around the slope, in an unhurried and calm posture, besieging non-stop on three sides, only leaving a part of Linhe not deep, as if it was deliberately inducing the Song army. Force the Song Army to take the initiative to abandon the Jiadu River, or escape from the stone bridge, and then take the opportunity to expand the battle.

On the opposite side of the Linhe Xiaopo, there is a large area and extremely obvious highland on the flat ground. On the highland full of turquoise, a large banner of tens of thousands of families is waving in the wind, and on the side of the banner, there are thousands of Jurchen iron horses. Action, ready to go.

“Are you sure it’s Hu Yantong?”

The leader of the Jin army on the high ground is no one else, it is Wanhu Suzuo. This person rides on the horse to watch from a distance, his tone is rare and relaxed. “That subordinate of King Han?”

“It’s Hu Yantong.” Han’er Meng’an, who was promoted at the Daming Mansion, obviously had read a book. At this time, he was also setting up a pergola for comfort. “This man has always been known for his bravery, self-reliance and arrogance for a while, so he was caught in such a simple trick to lure the enemy, and unexpectedly came to the Taiping River alone, not only losing the support of Qingqi, but also close to my Shiyi camp. , It deserves this!”

Su He quickly looked around and nodded, apparently approving of the Han’er Meng’an’s words.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. Looking around from the highland of six or seven li where Suhesu is located, one can clearly observe the surrounding terrain… Taiping River originates from the southwest of Jingxing County and crosses the two counties diagonally. The northeast of Huolu County is injected into the Hutuo River… and the southeast and lower reaches of the Taiping River, which is the side occupied by the main force of the Golden Army, although there is a highland, it is only a highland, which is generally gentle, and it can even be said that the entire Taiping River southeast On the side, apart from this highland and the distant Shiyi Daying, it was almost a plain plain.

This kind of flat terrain did not stop until Fenglong Mountain, which was dozens of miles away in the south, and was suitable for the cavalry to come and go to support the Mercedes-Benz.

In sharp contrast, the upper reaches of the Taiping River and the northwest side, although there is already a part of the plain, it is relatively narrow, but the valleys and hills in the distance are undulating, which is very obvious…that is the Taihang Mountains. The location of the Yumai is also the natural location of the Song Army pawns.

At this time, Hu Yantong crossed the Taiping River and arrived at Shiyi Town, Huolu County, where the Jinjun camp was located, which was of course a dead end.

“control!”

Yiqi crossed the river from the stone bridge that could only be used for five or six rides side by side. He shouted from a distance to find Hu Yantong, and when he saw the opponent, he saddled and dismounted and hurriedly faced each other. “Neither Mongolian ride nor Dangxiang ride was found, only two thousand Khitan riders were found at the mountain pass in the west…The leader Yelunu promised to come and rescue him, saying that he would be there in a moment, but he was only willing to meet us across the river to retreat. .”

“The Qidan dog is not enough!” Hu Yantong, who pulled the mask, had blue veins on his forehead, and said vulgar words. “The golden dog army is in the battle, he just wants to meet across the river, where can it be done? I don’t know how many children will die! Go find other reinforcements!”

The sentry rider, who was tired enough, didn’t say a word, turned on his horse, and went to look for reinforcements again.

However, as soon as the sentry rider left, among the slightly embarrassed officers looking at each other, Hu Yantong was also somewhat weak.

To put it bluntly, this time it’s really not someone who couldn’t save himself, but he called Yantong a self-reliant soldier, got too far away from the front, and then plunged himself into danger…Before he came, the Chinese army had a verbal military order to set him up on the riverside. Acting forward, but at the same time be careful to guard against the gold army on the other side of the river, but he was still happy with the hunt. He was hit by the gold army’s strategy to lure the enemy and easily crossed the river to attack, so that he was directly surrounded by the gold army cavalry ambushing behind the high ground. .

Of course, this is not the time to care about these, the key is how to retreat?

Hu Yantong knew very well that in such a situation, the Khitan cavalry really had the intention to cross the river to rescue, fearing that they would also be trapped by more golden troops, and eventually lead to greater battle damage.

The most important point is that this will not delay the fact that his son Lang will be reduced to a meal of the Golden Army at a small riverside dozens of steps wide in this district today.

This is more than two thousand soldiers! The elite of the left army in the imperial camp!

Moreover, it was Huai Shang who had served as official guards and helped suppress Liu Guangshi’s seniority. If it was easily ruined here, it would be a lot of fun!

“Ten thousand households, congratulations to ten thousand households, congratulations to ten thousand households, Hu Yantong is poor.”

The daylight began to move westward. On the high slope, thousands of Khitan cavalry on the opposite bank were seen from afar, but only hovering on the other bank of the river. Han’er suddenly laughed. “And if Wanhu can eat all of Huyantong here, wouldn’t it be possible for Wang Bolong to have thousands of households?”

Su Hesu looked at each other blankly, but was speechless for a while.

Of course he is very happy about the situation right now, but it is impossible to say that a Song army imperial control department and a ten thousand households are equal?

Moreover, it is impossible to wipe out all of them?

The only hope, and the most reasonable hope, is to tire the Song Army constantly, forcing the Song Army to abandon its position and cross the river to flee, and then take the opportunity to kill and wound it. If it can capture thousands of them by then, it will be a blessing.

Of course, if you can really win thousands, it is indeed a big victory in itself!

Therefore, although Su Hesu felt his feet itchy for a while, he did not refute it at all.

The spring breeze was blowing. For some reason, the already green mountain air became dull, and Hu Yantong quickly found new reinforcements… This is not a difficult task. At this time, there is absolutely no shortage of Song troops on the northwest side of the Taiping River. It’s like there’s absolutely no shortage of the Golden Army on the other side… In fact, when Niugao heard the news and led the troops to the riverside and merged with the Khitan cavalry of Yelunu Ge, the Jin Army also increased its troops. Thousands of riding steps came and gathered under the banner of Su He speed.

The situation is still that the Golden Army has an absolute advantage, or the Huyantong Department is still in an awkward and desperate situation.

In this regard, Niu Gao seriously rejected the request to lead his headquarters to cross the river for rescue, and in turn suggested to Hu Yantong that the two sides transport ordnance materials and the wounded through the stone bridge. At the same time, he will send his own soldiers to support the rotation. , To ensure that the Huyantong Department can stand on the other side of the river…This way, it will stay until dark, and then cross the river to evacuate, and the loss will drop to a barely acceptable level.

Of course Hu Yantong knew that this was the most appropriate and sensible plan at the moment, but he was still difficult to accept, but this difficult to accept is not just anger, but the elements of shame have become more.

After all, in the face of Niu Gao, a veteran ruler who had been present at Heyin’s formation of justice, he could no longer shirk his responsibility by saying that the Khitan people could not save themselves.

In shame and anger, this fierce general launched a decisive charge several times when supervising the battle at the forefront, killing the mentality of that high ground.

However, just after Niu Gao arrived at the school and sent a pro-school to explain the plan, things gradually changed…To be more specific, with the delay of time and the clearness of the information, more and more reinforcements from both sides.

No way, the two sides have too many troops, and they are too close. In the relatively cramped area of ​​Hulu-Jingxing, the wife is easy to mobilize and gather.

Finally, as the mainstay of Li Yanxian and the riding of at least five control departments appeared on the northwest side of the Taiping River, the quantitative change triggered a qualitative change.

Obviously, this seems to be another massive confrontation.

But this time, it was the Jin army who took the initiative. They had no reason to withdraw their troops. They couldn’t give up the fat of Huyantong Department. Seeing Li Yanxian personally supervise thousands of elites to come to help, not only did they suddenly stay still, but quickly returned. There are Wanyan Benxi and the two ten thousand households led by more soldiers and horses arrived to support.

Three million households, 30,000 people, is already a force far beyond the tactical needs.

Moreover, Wanyan Benwei, who is nicknamed the gold medal Langjun, is in its own right. He has the power to command the other two ten thousand households by camera, which means that both sides have frontline commanders who have the power to go to war.

Everyone was aware of the change in the nature of the matter. The generals of the Jin Army on the high ground and the Song Army generals on the narrow plains across the river all became serious. No one in the Jin Army, which still has an absolute advantage, can remain comfortable. Among the military’s focus, Hu Yantong, who is still personally commanding at the front, has had his scalp numb.

However, no one cares about Hu Yantong’s psychological pressure.

As the sun continued to **** westward, the support of the two armies was basically non-stop. At Li Yanxian’s imperial camp, almost all the troops arrived, and while they were formally lined up on the side of the Taiping River, Li Shifu’s party light cavalry main force, Yelu Yu saw The main force of the Khitan light cavalry and the main force of the West Mongolian light cavalry led by the father and son Huerzhahusi, because of the advantages of the light cavalry, also arrived earlier than the infantry.

According to their traditional tactics, these Qingqi actively gather on the sides and behind the infantry formation of Li Yanxian’s army. Because of the lack of discipline, many Qingqi simply try to approach from shallow places and harass them across the river. This time, let go. Of course, the golden cavalry on hands and feet were not accustomed to the intention of the Song army. Small-scale battles between the two cavalry broke out in several shallows.

Of course, the Golden Army did not show weakness. As I said before, it is only 20 miles away from their Shiyi base camp. For the Golden Army cavalry who have the advantage of tactical mobility, it can basically be called a whistling. .

When the sun slanted to the southwest, the Jin Jun had already gathered 50,000 households on the high ground-Lubu and Ali had also reached the high ground.

The two sides still maintain a fragile and dangerous balance.

The Song Army did not dare to cross the river easily when its troops were not dominant. This time, the Jin Army, who had the initiative, also began to fear and fear. After seeing several times, he wanted to order the troops to forcefully resolve the Huyantong Department. Did not say it.

It is understandable to want to order an offense, because this confrontation is different from the last one. This time it is really the Golden Army dominated.

This deep place can be used directly for horse riding, and the shallow place directly traverses the Taiping River, although it is just a small river that will not be drawn on the map at all. It is incomparable with the Mianman River, but at this time it unexpectedly provided the Jinjun with tactics Powerful blessings on the world.

But the gold medal Lang Jun also has reason to be afraid, because once a large-scale march, even without the order of him and the opposite Li Yanxian, the two parties may get out of control and a direct war will break out.

At that time, the tactical blessing belonged to the tactical blessing, but the scale of the battle would be completely uncontrollable…Song army light cavalry would swarm across the river, and then heavy cavalry would follow up under the cover of cavalry, and the golden army could not restrain the battlefield position either. They will also cross the shallows, try to defeat the Song Army’s Qingqi from the two wings, and then encircle the Song Army’s main force, but the Song Army can’t wait to die, they will have more reinforcements, and the Jin Army will also invest more troops.

A decisive battle in the wilderness that everyone has known in advance, but everyone is caught off guard, will be instantly ignited.

Wanyan Benxi didn’t have the courage to ignite this decisive battle, so he had already called Wanyan Wushu.

However, Wu Shu’s arrival did not break this fragile balance, because just as the banner of the ruling prince of Daikin appeared behind the Jin army, Han Shizhong’s Dahu also appeared in the upper reaches of the Taiping River. The iconic bronze surface was hung up more than ten miles away, as if he was ready to go to war early… Therefore, Wan Yan Wushu immediately turned around and directly opened the second large-scale confrontation between Han Shizhong and Han Shizhong.

Not only that, with the formation of the two main battle groups, Wu Shu also pulled the Corruption Department from the high ground to the junction of the two large units on the side of the high ground.

On the other side, the light cavalry of the Song Army also adjusted immediately. The most reliable Li Shifu department was placed in the joint position between the two sides of the big 纛. Yelu Yuyi and Huerzha Husihan and his son were spread out on both sides of the farther side.

The messengers were constantly coming back and forth between the two big arms, and more messengers continued to scatter and gather from under the two big arms, passing down the two military orders.

The sun was sinking more and more west, and the Jinjun infantry arrived in large numbers, lined up at the original position of the Lulu Replenishment Department. After the Lulu replenishment led the cavalry of the headquarters and left, they disappeared behind the high ground and disappeared… There, the Marshal Wanyan pulled fast. A pure iron horse with more than 10,000 people and three horses was sitting there and waiting. The flags of Wanyan Living Girl, Wanyan Uncle, Wulin Dataiyu and others were all here. The quick hand has reached twenty thousand people.

The Jin Jun still did not order a general attack on Hu Yantong.

This time, the reason wasn’t that anyone didn’t dare to call the shots, but that after communicating with Wu Shu, he noticed the position of the sun together… the sky is getting late, and it gradually becomes a little gloomy… and the Huyantong district. In contrast, they must ensure that the troops cannot lose control due to darkness.

No one wants to fight night battles silly.

However, no one can control the situation. Just by pulling away speed and Wushu, large troops can retreat slightly, but they must launch a surprise attack before dark with local superior forces to capture the Huyantong Ministry and obtain the planned victory. After that… things were suddenly out of control.

What triggered all this was another Song army reinforcements to the northwest.

The weather became more gloomy. When the Zhaoguan’s dragon and a group of reinforcements as many as the two major groups appeared to the northwest, there was neither a good view of the wind, nor a light to the sun’s golden scales. The magnificence… that was exclusive to Li Yanxian when he arrived.

However, as the dragon appeared in the field of vision of both sides, the situation was directly out of control-the various ministries were instinctively purged and entered a state of battle, but the Mongolian cavalry with the worst discipline went too far, one of which directly defended an empty shoal. A surprise attack was launched on the other side of the DPRK.

Immediately, everyone’s heart tensed, but the scene that had already been expected appeared. The two armies who had been in a tight confrontation because of hastily gathered for a long time went out of control. The various ministries of the two sides attacked each other from the shallows and bridges where they faced each other. The battle group expanded rapidly, and then stirred up the battle line more than ten miles long.

Military orders and tactics are all invalid.

Zhao Jiu himself was afraid that his arrival would have such an effect.

It was Wu Da, who had arrived with Long Zhu, who fell into a moment of confusion.

That’s not even counted. As the Zhao official’s Dragon Dragon settled behind Li Shifu’s department, the muffled thunder suddenly sounded… The conditioned reflex was normal. Everyone thought it was a large group of cavalry attacking. The Jin army sent people to sneak from upstream or downstream.

However, Zhao Guan’s house, who had just boarded an elevated car, looked around on both sides, but did not see any obvious smoke and dust on the plains on both sides.

In fact, after hearing the thunder, the pulling speed that had been lurking behind the high ground was dumbfounded. He also thought that where was the cavalry ambushing… Maybe it was the cavalry from the side and the back?

But soon, both families reacted. This time it was a real thunder—before the evening, the clouds were mixed and thick, and then the spring thunder rolled, the sky was dark, and the rain fell like a stream.

No one wants to fight a bad battle, but the sudden thunderstorm turned this battle into a bad battle!

The thunder and lightning, rain and dusk easily erased the last trace of the possibility of transmitting military orders and controlling the troops, and at the same time, they also awakened all the ministries that had been fighting together from top to bottom from the frenzy of war.

Before Han Shizhong heard the thunder, he had almost directly ordered the whole army to cross the river and engage the Wushu in front of him, and Hu Yantong was also ready to pounce directly on the high ground.

But as soon as the rain fell, with the sound of thunder and rain, it was impossible to tell which was the sound of gold, and the warring forces on both sides began to retreat consciously.

Only during the retreat, the lines of the two sides and the situation of the enemy and ourselves were completely blurred, and encounters were everywhere.

What’s more obvious is that because it was the first battle initiated by the Song Army and troops crossed the river, it was destined to become the party with greater losses in this bad battle.

Chunlei was rolling, and the fields were vast. Zhao Jiu stood on the car, letting the rain wash his face, and fell into a daze.

This can’t help him. Whoever puts on the plot will be stunned, and in this case, besides stunned, there seems to be nothing he can do. When the rain falls, he wants to see the situation clearly with the flash of lightning. .

The battlefield is too big, there are too many troops!

“Officials.”

Wu Jie supported Zhao Guan’s house from one side. “Get down quickly…the heights are easy to attract thunder, and the establishment of a golden needle to avoid thunder is what the official said in the mansion newspaper.”

Zhao Jiu came back to his senses and got out of the car in a hurry, but he saw the front, back, left and right again, including himself in metal armor, and was speechless.

“Your Majesty.” When the official Zhao’s house came to the ground, Wu Jie’s tone was slightly low. “The minister is ashamed.”

“What is Jin Qing ashamed of?” Zhao Jiu shook his head quickly. “It’s going to rain, my mother is going to marry someone, who can manage the rain? Besides, a bad battle is because we have lost more in this river, and it is impossible to cause a really big loss of combat power… But no matter what Anyway, we have to do something now, not just to gather the troops…to gather the troops is the responsibility of the Yan’an County King and Li Shaoyan…we must also do something to ensure that morale is not discouraged.”

“Officials.” Wu Jie opened his mouth to answer, and his tone became more cautious, but he appeared extra determined. “In the past two days, we have been pressing hard and pushing the front forcibly, but today’s event shows that both sides have reached the limit, and there is no room for maneuver. It is raining today, and we are just relying on this Taiping River to maintain it for a while. …Under such a situation, the more tense you are, the more you cannot retreat. Therefore, we must first establish a village on the side of the river to facilitate the dispatch of troops, and at the same time ensure that there is no stronghold of the Golden Army on the side of the Taiping River!”

Zhao Jiu thought about it in the rain, and suddenly said, “I remember that before the news arrived today, you originally wanted Li Yanxian to lead your troops to obtain Luxian Town? Is Huolu County Town on this side?”

“Yes.”

“how far?”

“It’s a dozen miles away from here, but it’s not in the northwest, it’s east of here, and it’s only five or six miles away from the Taiping River.”

“How many defenders are there?”

“A Meng An…”

“determine?”

“The minister is sure.”

“Take it down! Take it down immediately in the rain and in the dark, and spend the night in Huolu County today. With this city as the center, the village will be built…Let Liu Yan personally supervise the four commanding officials to go and climb the city on all sides, and take it in one fell swoop!”

“Yes!”

The military order was passed down in a hurry, the front line was still messing around, and Zhao Jiufu couldn’t help asking again in the rain. “Jin Qing, why did the Jin Jun abandon Huolu County, and instead set up villages around Shiyi Town?”

“Before today, the minister only thought that they had taken a fancy to the smooth surroundings of Shiyi, or worried that our army would blow up the city with gunpowder, which would damage their morale… But when they came to the battlefield today, they immediately awakened.” Point your finger to the opposite bank of the Southeast River. “Officials, have you ever noticed that highland on the other side of the river?”

Zhao Jiu pay attention to the fart!

He is dumbfounded now.

However, this did not delay him, with a flash of lightning, and immediately noticed the high ground.

“Officials, that should be the only highland on the other side of the river, two or three miles from the river, ten miles to Shiyi Daying.” Wu Jie was serious. “Six or seven miles in radius.”

“I understand.” Zhao Jiu was in a daze. “They didn’t fancy Shiyi, but this highland. There is a smooth road on the other side of the river. Only this highland is located under the high forest. If they can occupy the highland as they currently do when the war begins, they can be condescending and control the situation on all sides. Send cavalry to sweep support at any time.”

“The official ruling.” Wu Jie nodded in agreement, but stretched it slightly. “But it’s more than that… In such a big battle, it is impossible to pursue fixed tactics. Today, we can suppress our army crossing the river from the high ground. It is possible to attack calmly… But it is also possible to deliberately lure me by using that high ground as a bait. The army went to attack, and our army knew it was a bait and had to attack in order to gain visibility and profit. At that time, when the reinforcements behind our army were weak because of the aggressiveness of the river, they would concentrate their army on sweeping, and eat the people of our army on the high ground. , Regain the high ground.”

“I understand ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ Anyway, the high ground is here, the Taiping River is here, we attack, they defend, the initiative is in their hands, there is always no lack of tactics in tactics… right?”

“Your Majesty Resolve.” Wu Jie repeated the sentence again.

Lightning lights up again, the four fields are blurred, and the high ground on the other side of the river also appears blurred.

And Zhao Jiu, who had been soaked, looked at the direction across the river and shook his head in the rain: “No matter what, when the rain stops, the curved ends will gather… He should be two days later… It won’t be too late to make plans.”

In the thunder of thunder, Wu Jie hesitated to speak but stopped.
