Chapter 1852 The heavy axe splits the white mountain(1/2)
In the southeast of Wuzhou, a fierce battle is taking place.
One side of the battle was the three thousand troops sent by Zhe Kecun to rescue Wuzhou, while the other side was Bali Su's troops.
Judging from the scene, the Song Army had been surrounded by the Jin Army. Because the Song Army was in a hurry at that time, it unexpectedly encountered the elite Jin Army on the way. In fact, Ba Lisu had no intention of attacking Wuzhou, but ordered a small number of soldiers.
Ma was restrained in Wuzhou, while he personally led the force to surround and annihilate the supporting army.
A sentinel rushed over and said, "Report ---, General, it's bad, the Southern Dynasty Army in Yinshan broke through our defense line."
Ba Lisu was shocked, "So fast?"
Because Ba Lisu wanted to concentrate his forces to eliminate this supporting army, but he was also afraid that the main force of the Song army in Yinshan would return to support and surrounded him. Therefore, he ordered five hundred warriors to take advantage of the narrow mountain road, hoping to stop the Song army.
The main force of the army first destroyed this supporting army, and then concentrated its forces to destroy Zhe Yanzhi's troops. Now he heard that the Song army easily broke through the defense line he had arranged, which surprised him, because in such a narrow valley,
No matter how many Song soldiers you have, you can't rush through them in one fell swoop.
The sentry detective said: "The Southern Dynasty army used a very powerful firearm, which deafened all our soldiers and thus broke through our defense line."
The general on the side said: "General, the Song army will arrive here soon, we'd better withdraw first."
Ba Lisu frowned and suddenly shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. That army probably doesn't know that we are here to surround and annihilate their reinforcements. They should first go to rescue Wuzhou. We still have some time to spare." As he spoke,
He immediately approached the sentry and said: "Go to Wuzhou quickly, order them to abandon Wuzhou, and concentrate their forces on me to entangle the Southern Dynasty army. After an hour, regardless of victory or defeat, retreat immediately."
"As commanded."
The general said again: "General, how can one hour be enough?"
Ba Lisu smiled and said: "If things go well with the capital, I believe our reinforcements will arrive soon."
Because the Jin army had sealed their silence, Zhe Yanzhi only knew that the Jin army had besieged Wuzhou. He did not know the situation in Xinzhou, but he had a vague feeling that something was not good. After annihilating all the 500 Jin soldiers, he immediately rushed straight to
Leaving Wuzhou.
But as soon as they left the Yinshan Mountains and before they had time to take a breath, a team of thousands of Jin troops came over to kill them.
Zheyanzhi immediately ordered the soldiers to fight, but after a while, Zheyanzhi realized that this Jin army was here to delay their return reinforcements. He was even more anxious. Although he had the advantage on the scene, the enemy was cavalry and the enemy was cavalry.
If you retreat, it will be difficult for you to eliminate them in one fell swoop.
The battle situation was very tense.
At this moment, a force suddenly came out from the rear. It was the one thousand defenders from Wuzhou. It turned out that when the military general and the defender saw the besieged Jin army suddenly heading north, he felt something was wrong in his heart, and they had one thousand people.
It was also difficult to defend Wuzhou City. So he decided to leave the city immediately because he knew that Zhe Yanzhi was attacking the Yinshan Pass and saw the Jin army heading north. He was afraid that Zhe Yanzhi would be ambushed, so he led his army to rush there and saw Zhe Yanzhi.
The troops were fighting with the thousand gold army, so they rushed up to encircle and suppress this gold army.
Seeing the Song army arriving from behind, this Jin army did not dare to fight and hurriedly withdrew eastward.
Zhe Yanzhi did not dare to pursue, and immediately asked about the situation in Wuzhou. After learning about the situation in Wuzhou, Zhe Yanzhi looked shocked and said: "Xinzhou is in danger."
So he immediately organized his troops and went to Xinzhou for rescue, but he hadn't walked for a while when he suddenly saw a Song army running out of the mountain.
Zhe Yanzhi was about to order the soldiers to fight when he suddenly heard someone in front shout: "There is a major general in front of us."
"General Fan."
"Major General. It's Major General."
The small group of troops rushed forward to meet them.
Zhe Yanzhi saw that their faces were all covered with mud and their armors were stained with blood. He knew that the situation was not good, because Fan Jie was guarding the Xinzhou base camp. With his appearance, Xinzhou must have been attacked. He hurriedly
Asked: "General Fan, how is Xinzhou?"
When Fan heard this, tears welled up and he immediately cried: "Major General, something bad has happened. This morning, the Xinzhou base camp was suddenly attacked by more than 10,000 enemies. Now the water stronghold has been breached by the enemy. Our brothers are all the same."
Died in battle---."
At this point, he really couldn't go on.
Zhe Yanzhi's body shook violently a few times, his face turned as white as paper, and he said in disbelief: "You---what did you say, the water stronghold was breached by the enemy?"
Fan Jie nodded, wiped his face, and said: "The enemy burst its banks on the upper reaches of the Yang River and used fire boats to break through our water stronghold."
"What about my third uncle?"
"The general was on the boat at that time. Now the general has disappeared. I want to come ---."
Zhe Yanzhi's eyes instantly turned red, and his fists clenched and rattled.
At this time, another three or five flying cavalry arrived, "Major General, it's bad, Xinzhou has been captured by the enemy. Now the main force of the enemy is chasing this way. Let's retreat quickly."
Fan Jie said excitedly: "Major General, let's fight back and fight with the enemy to avenge the general."
Zhe Yanzhi raised his riding whip, but when he looked at the faces behind him that were looking at death, he couldn't help but slowly put down his hand, passed his eyes with his arm, and said: "Brothers, quickly retreat to the direction of Yinshan Mountain.
.”
Because the enemy army is coming from the west, there must be enemy troops in the west, and there is no way to go in front. The river in Wuzhou is occupied by the Jin army. God knows whether there is a Jin army guarding the other side, so they only have one road left, which is
Although Yinshan Mountain is the end of Yinshan Mountain, there are many mountain paths. After entering the mountain, the towering Yinshan Mountains can provide them with good shelter. Even if they encounter an encounter, the Song Army does not have to be afraid on the mountain road.
Zhe Yanzhi immediately led his troops back and rushed to the Yinshan Mountains again.
Less than half an hour after he left, Ba Lisu led a mighty army here. The reinforcements had been completely annihilated by him and the reinforcements sent by Wanyan Zonghan. After they were annihilated, he immediately headed northwest to kill
, prepared to encircle and annihilate Zhe Yanzhi's troops again, but unfortunately, Zhe Yanzhi had already run away. After he found out that Zhe Yanzhi had gone to the Yinshan Mountains, he stopped pursuing them.
After Wanyan Zonghan broke through the water stronghold, he immediately picked up the siege equipment left by the Song army and attacked Xinzhou from three sides. There were not many defenders in Xinzhou. There were only about a thousand people. The main force was deployed in the base camp outside Xinzhou.
Yan Zonghan attacked from three sides. He didn't know how to block it. It only took Wan Yan Zonghan an hour to break through Xinzhou City.
So far, Zhe Kecun's troops of about 20,000 have lost more than 10,000, and the commander Zhe Kecun has also fled. He still does not know whether he is alive or dead. Almost the entire army has been wiped out. Only Zhe Yanzhi's three or four thousand troops have escaped, but they are still alive.
It cannot be said that they are out of the threat, because the roads in the Yinshan Mountains are complicated. It is still unclear whether they can cross the Yinshan Mountains and reach Ruzhou.
The Jin Army also paid a price of nearly 4,000 men. In fact, Wanyan Zonghan expected that 2,000 men would be enough, but he never expected that there would be such a powerful firearm in the opponent's position. With just one round of explosion, no one was killed or injured.
Thousands, eight hundred, and five hundred warriors in the Yinshan Canyon were all slaughtered by the Song army. This was something he did not expect.
Wanyan Zonghan accurately grasped the mentality of being able to survive, and launched a lightning attack. He defeated them one by one and eliminated the main force in one fell swoop. For Wanyan Zonghan, this was only the second best. After all, he had defeated thousands of troops and completely destroyed them.
The annihilation of the Liao Army was an army of hundreds of thousands, which was nothing. To his relief, his warriors were completely resurrected. The haze that had been hanging over the Jin Army for many days was swept away today.
"General Tutong Ba Lisu is back."
"Oh, let him in quickly."
Before he finished speaking, Ba Lisu walked in. Without waiting for him to salute, Wanyan Zonghan asked, "How is it?"
Ba Lisu shook his head and said: "The enemy troops withdrew towards Yinshan Mountain, so I did not pursue them anymore. I only increased my troops to guard the key passes of Yinshan Mountain."
"You did the right thing." Wanyan Zonghan nodded with a smile and said, "That's just a lost dog. There is no need to chase and fight. Besides, the enemy will always meet again."
Yi Cibao asked excitedly: "Du Tong, what should we do next?"
"Let's set out today to attack Ruzhou."
Wanyan Zonghan chuckled and said: "I have to make the opponent lose his footing. Guizhou is close to Juyongguan, so the enemy must be heavily guarded. But if the opponent places heavy troops in Guizhou and Juyongguan, then Ruzhou will definitely have an empty defense. We must attack
Launch a fatal blow at the weakest point of the enemy's defense line. Pull out of the speed, and you immediately lead five thousand troops to pursue the remaining troops. I estimate that Guizhou may send troops to rescue. If there is an encounter, you don't have to hesitate.
If we take advantage of the situation, we will definitely destroy the enemy in one fell swoop, and I will arrive with my army soon."
As long as the Song army broke away from the fortress and met in the wild, their cavalry would take advantage.
"As commanded."
Ba Lisu didn't even take a breath, turned around and walked out. He had followed Wanyan Zonghan for so long, and he naturally knew Wanyan Zonghan's habit. Once he launched an attack, he couldn't stop at all.
After he left, Yi Cibao asked again: "Du Tong, what about Xinzhou and Wuzhou?"
"Leave a hundred people each."
"A hundred people?"
Yi Cibao almost bit his tongue off.
Wanyan Zonghan smiled and said: "These cities are the tombs of the southerners. If they dare to send people here, I will come back and destroy them. I will destroy as many as they come. I want the southerners to know that these are empty cities and they will not dare to do so."
If we come to attack, leaving a hundred people here to maintain law and order is enough."
Brother Zonghan is so domineering, which is unreasonable.
After reorganizing here for a night, Wanyan Zonghan immediately led the main force and rushed to Ruzhou in a furious manner.
Yunzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It can even be said to be located at the foot of three mountains. Even the city is high in the north and low in the south. The mountain to the east is famous in history and is called Baideng Mountain.
Speaking of Baishan Mountain, one person has to be mentioned. This person was Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. When Liu Bang went on an expedition against the Huns, he was trapped in Baishan Mountain. It was precisely because of this battle that the Wenjing Reign occurred.
Because the Han Dynasty was very afraid of the Xiongnu during this war, it adopted a peace policy, which brought stability to the Central Plains for decades. It was not until the emergence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that this situation was broken.
Baishan Mountain is a strategic location. There is a road leading to Mongolia, called the Baidao.
Yang Zaixing led his troops here to open up the Baidao, so that they could go to the north of Yunzhou and capture the northern pass. But how could the Jin army let Yang Zaixing pass here easily? They set up camps on the Baidao based on the terrain to block it.
Yang Zaixing.
This Jinjun camp is set up on a curved slope. This slope is not very steep. It is a road after all. However, there are steep cliffs on both sides. This makes the Song army unable to use long-range weapons to attack down the slope because the slope is curved.
There is a corner in the middle of the slope. You can't hit the Jin army's camp by firing crossbows or heartless cannons at the bottom of the mountain. Besides, Yang Zaixing didn't bring a crossbow cart, because there are mountain roads everywhere, and they are all uphill.
