Chapter 308 Bloody Battle of the Yellow River
With a drum, Yang Zaixing, the vanguard general of Jiyuan, led the army to attack.
This tiger, which has been hungry for a long time, has finally ushered in the day of killing. As soon as Fang appeared on the stage, he couldn't wait to rush into the core of the real girl.
Liu Ziyu climbed up and looked up. When he saw Yang Zaixing, he quickly rushed to the Jvzhen Cavalry Corps, and rushed away from the main position where the most concentrated people and horses were beckoned, and his face was a little cramped.
"Is he looking for death?" Liu Ziyu frowned and said angrily, "The vanguard is only to mess up the enemy's feet and disturb the enemy's eyes and ears. How can he rush directly to the core position of the enemy as the main army? Once it falls into the encirclement, it will not move and the whole army will be destroyed. If the vanguard is lost, how can I fight in this counterattack?
"Marshal Liu, don't worry, let's take a look first." Ma Yu said unhurriedly, "Since the lord trusts Yang Zaixing so much, we should also believe in the master's vision. Wuqu Xingjun of Qixingzhai is not a false reputation!"
"Look, it's awesome!" Wang Xun suddenly punched a surprised punch and pointed forward, "Yang Zaixing broke into the enemy's camp one by one, and no one can stop him! The three thousand cavalry behind them plunged directly into the enemy's siege, just like a tiger entering the sheep!"
Liu Ziyu's eyes widened and looked at it. It was not very real through the water mist of the Xu Yuan River, but it was still generally distinguishable. The unbreakable cavalry regiment of golden soldiers was really torn by Yang Zaixing and directly plunged into the deep besiege!
"Report to Marshal Liu - the banner of the golden soldier's vanguard was beheaded!"
"Report to Marshal Liu - Jin Bing was beheaded with another flag!"
"Report - The flag of the golden soldiers and ten thousand soldiers was beheaded!"
......
In less than half an hour, the scouts looking ahead returned Jiexun one after another. Yang Zaixing was besieged by the enemy and killed the general. He went in in one breath and beheaded the enemy's seven captains and one captain. That's not the case. He led the 3,000 cavalry to kill a thorough entry and exit among the 20,000 enemy troops, and then killed them back. Within an hour, he killed three in and three outs in the enemy, and cut down countless enemy flags!
"Now I finally know why the lord praised Yang Zaixing for his 'invincible bravery'." Liu Ziyu sighed, "A world-class general like him is really rare in a thousand years!"
"Marshal Liu, the things you consider are far more thoughtful than ours." Ma Yu smiled and said, "I have known my lord for a long time and know him a little. He knew that Jiyuan had Marshal Liu in charge, and with this continuous fortifications, it was certainly a golden soup. But if we want to take advantage of the victory to fight back, we don't have a shortage of strong generals who can charge and fright the enemy. It's like an arrow. How can it lack the arrow cast by fine iron? - Yang Zaixing is the arrow given by the Lord to Marshal Liu!"
Wang Xun watched the battle and saw that Yang Zaixing was killing on the battlefield. He was already excited. At this time, he hurriedly said, "Marshal Liu, I was at least a pioneer when Yang Zaixing didn't come!" Now that he is so popular, let me move my muscles and bones!"
"Haha!" The generals laughed, and Ma Yu even joked, "Brother Wang Xun, let's take a break first! - The stick sores on your buttocks have not healed, and you can't ride horses!"
Wang Xun was anxious, "I've been fine for a long time. If you don't believe me, I'll show you my trousers!"
Liu Ziyu raised his hand and said, "Don't be impatient. I have my own arrangement - Ma Dujian, please lead the people of the department to help Yang Zaixing. Wang Xun, you lead the headquarters to respond from behind. You can't attack without my order. The rest of the generals should do it step by step and can't leave their posts without permission!"
"Yes!"
Ma Yu said doubtfully, "Marshal Liu, at this time, when the enemy was counterattacked and annihilated, why did not all the troops go out and left more than half of the people left in the camp?"
"It's not time for a big counterattack." Liu Ziyu squinted at the front and said, "One breath, then decline, and three exhausted. Wanyan Zonghan has thirty or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and only one-tenth of those who have landed on the south bank. We need to be cautious from time to time, not to be complacent, and always have a backhand in case of the enemy's counterattack or sudden change.
Ma was awakened, and then he understood that Liu Ziyu wanted to keep a hand to guard against the "change" of Luoyang's skills. In recent days, there have been frequent rumors to Jiyuan that Chu Tianya suddenly passed away, and Luoyang fell into chaos. Officials, civil and military officials, officials and ordinary people are fleeing.
With such news, Liu Ziyu will naturally not let it spread, thus affecting the military heart. But he himself will definitely leave a line in his hand in case of accidents. In case of a change in Luoyang, he can take out at least 10,000 horses for emergency at any time. Now, what Liu Ziyu is worried about is not how to defend the Yellow River defense line, nor does he want to eat more than 300,000 women's army on the north bank in one go, but Luoyang!
Luoyang is now the root of the Song Dynasty and the heart of the Song Dynasty. If Luoyang is really chaotic and Chu Tianya is really dead, how beautiful Liu Ziyu is playing here, what can he do?
Therefore, no matter how good the situation is, Liu Ziyu will not do his best to attack, and he will definitely reserve his troops. In case Luoyang needs it, he will not hesitate to help.
The battle continued until nightfall, when the virgin army that had crossed the river had been almost wiped out.
Ten to 20,000 corpses piled up on the bank of the Yellow River, which was shocking, and the whole Yellow River completely turned into the Red River. The river wind blew the bloody smell far away, and the strong murderous atmosphere made the birds within a hundred miles afraid to return to their nests.
At this time, the war situation on the north coast is also coming to an end. Xixia's iron harons fought with the virgin cavalry for a day, and each had its own victory or defeat. At this time, the people are tired at night, and they go back to the camp to rest and strictly prevent the other party from raiding the camp.
Yue Fei was like a lone wolf wandering by the sheep. In broad daylight, he suddenly appeared. Lightning killed the real woman and turned over alone, and then slipped like a whirlwind.
The Jurchens dare not chase at all. Who knows how many soldiers and horses and ambush circles are waiting for them in the rear of Yue Fei?
Covering this rare break, Zong Han, Zong Wang, Gu Shen and others gathered together to urgently discuss the response.
"Now that the situation is clear, our army has been surrounded, and the way back is cut off." Zong Han said, "In this way, the change of Luoyang in the southern country must be a trap. The purpose is to lure our army to cross the river, and then they hit it halfway, cut off my way back, and surround me. Now the situation of our army is very critical. There is no way out after the Yellow River, and there is resistance on both wings. If it's good, please ask Your Highness and your husband for advice.
Although Wanyan Zonghan's words were polite, his expression was cold. So what he said from his mouth also changed a little. He was probably blaming Zong Wang and Gu Shen for mistakenly trusting the rumors and helping Chu Tianya pull him together and fall into a trap. Now in such a predicament, Zong Han is really a little annoyed, so he first shifted the responsibility to Zong Wang and Gu Shen.
Zong Wang and Gu Shen didn't listen to his voice and blame, but they were unable to refute, so they had to try to find a way. After a long time, Zong Wang said, "Marshal, the most urgent thing is that our army must find a way out. Or to the north, collect Taiyuan and return to the north along the original road; or to the east, defeat the iron brier of Xixia, detouring the river and return to China. To the south, it is the iron camp of the Yellow River and Liu Ziyu, which is difficult to break in the short term. Moreover, if Luoyang is a trap, then Chu Tianya will lead the army to help sooner or later, and the south bank will be more stable. Maybe they will fight back.
"Reverse?" Zong Han sneered, "It's not that I underestimated Chu Tianya. Even if I give him another 100,000 horses, plus Liu Ziyu's soldiers and horses, with these 200,000 mob, they don't have the ability to fight back against me! - What's more, the Yellow River is a natural danger for us. Isn't it a natural danger for them? We have a large number of buildings and boats. What can they do to carry 200,000 troops across the river in such a short time? If it comes in batches, I will ask them to die one by one and a pair!"
"Although it is reasonable, you can't underestimate the enemy." Zong Wang said, "Just like in the Wutongyuan at the beginning, no one believes that I will be completely defeated by him overnight. Chu Tianya is quite a tricky genius. Who would have thought that what he wanted to do next?
"Your Highness, please forgive me for saying frankly - did the defeat of Wutongyuan really frustrate your ambition?" Zong Han was a little annoyed and said bluntly, "No matter how strange Chu Tianya is, he is still a mortal. The two sides of the vast Yellow River are separated, and he can put his wings and fly from the sky. Can't he kill our army?!"
Zong Wang gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, strongly pressed the anger aroused by him, and nodded slowly. "The soldier is tricky, be careful. Think about it after yourself. Since Chu Tianya's debut, which battle has been fought by rules, and which time has not won with the weak over the strong and the strange soldiers? - The current situation is extremely unfavorable to our army. If you don't get rid of the current predicament as soon as possible, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later! - Marshal, I will only say so much, your own army Team, think about it yourself!"
Seeing that there was going to be anger between the two, Gu Shen hurriedly persuaded them, and at least let them stop the quarrel first.
But after all, they didn't come up with a solution. In the end, we had to make expedient arrangements - wait until tomorrow's battle to explore the reality of Iron Warrior and Yue Fei, and then decide which way to break through.
The real woman is ready to run away.
After the nightfall, the turbulent waves of the Yellow River beat against the river bank, washing many corpses and blood back and forth. Liu Ziyu sent some soldiers to clean up the corpses on the river bank, transported them together to the ravine not far away, directly filled the ravine, and then covered them with soil to build several Beijing pavilions.
Jingguan, the victorious side on the cold weapon battlefield, gathered the enemy's corpses to cover the earth and build a wall to show off its achievements!
When Chu Tianya ran before the camp, he saw the Beijing views under the countless torches in the distance.
"Liu Ziyu, you seem to have done a good job." Chu Tianya raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a satisfied smile.
A horseman ran from the rear, "Lord, the officials sent someone to ask, when will our army stop and camp?"
"It's almost time." Chu Tianya replied casually, "Reply to the official family, and now only wait for Liu Ziyu in front of him to lead the team to greet him."
"Yes!"
Almost as soon as Chu Tianya's words fell, thunderous cheers broke out in Liu Ziyu's military camp in front of him, shaking the whole night sky.
The news that the official's imperial expedition and the lord Chu Tianya personally mentioned the king's coming to supervise the war made the Jiyuan soldiers and soldiers who had been fighting hard for several days rejoice and excited.
Liu Ziyu's heart hanging in the air finally fell down. At present, the fighter plane is mature, but he does not dare to attack. In fact, he is really a little annoyed and hesitant. Now the lord has brought the officials to supervise the war. It is clear that he is going to launch a final counterattack against the golden soldiers!
When he heard the news, Liu Ziyu got up and was so excited that his face turned red and his mouth shivered. "Quick, hurry up and follow me!!"
Soon, Liu Ziyu took Yang Zaixing, Ma Yu and Wang Xun to welcome him.
Zhao Huan, an official, grew up in the palace. Even if he became an emperor, he had never experienced such a military thing. Seeing a group of murderous and bloody warriors in front of him, he smelled the disgusting and bloody smell in the air, and his calves were a little cramped.
After visiting, Chu Tianya stepped down and walked to Liu Ziyu and others. First, he slapped Liu Ziyu on the shoulder, "Very good, didn't let me down!"
"I'm ashamed!" Liu Ziyu was so excited that he trembled all over, and his body and mind were completely relaxed at this moment. For a long time, Liu Ziyu has been almost alone in supporting the Yellow River Gate of the whole Song Dynasty. The responsibility is so heavy that no one can understand it except him. Now, the lord brings the officials and 100,000 royal masters to help the battle, which is the message that victory is in sight!
Next, Chu Tianya stood in front of Yang Zaixing again, looked up at the peerless general who was half a head taller than him.
"Are you a pioneer, did you play well?" Chu Tianya asked with a smile.
Yang Zaixing grinned and showed a hearty smile, "It's so happy!!"
"Then continue to fight!" Chu Tianya said in a low voice, "There is a bigger battle behind!"
"Yes!" Yang Zaixing's voice was so fierce that the people next to him had some eardrums aches.
He comforted and praised the generals one by one, and Chu Tianya accompanied the official family into Liu Ziyu's military camp. He brought 100,000 soldiers and horses to camp and rest step by step in preparation for the war.
After a hasty dinner, Chu Tianya couldn't wait to come to Liu Ziyu's handsome camp and listen to him report the details of the battle in recent days. Then the generals discussed the battle together and unanimously concluded that Wanyan Zonghan on the north bank should not be able to break through to the south bank. They will either stabilize their defense and destroy the close enemies on the north bank first, that is, the Tiger Army of Xixia Iron Harrot and Yue Fei; or they will choose the way to break through and prepare to escape.
No matter what kind of tactic Wanyan Zonghan adopts, now is a good time to chase and intercept him.
"Liu Ziyu, where is your boat?" Chu Tianya asked.
"It's already ready!" Liu Ziyu replied, "There has always been a navy, a military port and a shipyard in Luo County. Over the years, countless warships have been built to resist the enemy who may be attacked from the north. After building these boats, I don't know how many corrupt officials have been fattened and how much people have lost. In the four major shipyards in Los Angeles County, there are more than 170 sea tach ships that can take more than 1,000 people. Recently, my subordinates have urged workers to work overtime to build more than 30 ships. There are a total of 200 large and small ships. If they are opened together, they can connect the whole north and south sides!"
"Very good." Chu Tianya nodded and praised, "Tomorrow, you ask Ma Yu and Wang Xun to take 20,000 horses each to the four captains to take over the ship and prepare for the battle across the river. In addition, I just brought a batch of good things from Luoyang and took them to board the ship together to prepare for the trip, which will come in great use.
Liu Ziyu smiled, "The master brought good things again?"
Chu Tianya also smiled, "Why do you say 'and' again?"
All the generals laughed. But all the "good things" made by Chu Tianya are of great use. In the fierce battle in the past few days, if there were no Shenwu cannons and muskets, how could it be so easy?
In the early morning of the next day, there was a fierce battle on the north bank. Zong Han did not wait for the iron harlet and Yue Fei to harass him. He turned passive into active, and personally led the army to launch an attack on the iron harlet camp. If it's really the opposite attack, Wanyan Zonghan is really not apprehensive about iron balons and tigers. On the contrary, the invasion and raids of these two groups of people from time to time annoyed him very much. So today, he took the initiative to attack, and the formation was still very large. He brought out 60,000 crutches in one breath!
This really gives enough face to Xixia people. The female real is dissatisfied and invincible. For a long time, the female cavalry has been used to attacking more with less and defeating the strong with the weak. This time, it is rare to dispatch more people than the other party.
Wanyan Zonghan's intention is also to take the initiative to test the possibility of breaking out from the Xixia camp.
Iron haler is not a vegetarian. Seeing Wanyan Zonghan taking the initiative to come to the door, how can there be a reason to retreat? So, the two groups of people and horses were in full swing.
Zong Wang and Gu Shen, who stayed in the camp, each went out and camp separately. They showed the shape of a horn with Zong Han's main business, and rescued and responded to each other in case Yue Fei's attack from the flank.
The momentum after Zong Han's fight was very strong, and the river wind spread the sound of their fight to the south bank.
At this time, Chu Tianya is holding an "Pledge Conference". It is rare for Zhao Huan, an official, to come to the front line of the battlefield. In addition, the lord personally came to the army to help the battle, and the 100,000 troops under Liu Ziyu's command had unprecedented morale.
The oath meeting lasted for about an hour, and the battle on the north coast entered a white-hot state. At this time, Yue Fei led Hu Ben to the camp where Gu Shen was, and quickly fought with him. After hearing the military situation, Zong Wang quickly led his troops to help, and three groups of people fell into a melee.
The whole north bank of the Yellow River suddenly turned into a sea of blood and fire.
At this time, Wang Xun and Ma Yu went to the sea oach boat led by the four major shipyards and sailed before Liu Ziyu's Daying wharf. There were more than 50 large ships in the first batch, and the 40,000 soldiers and soldiers brought by the horse and the king were already on board, most of which were equipped with crossbow shields.
The wind direction is suitable, from southwest to northeast. Chu Tianya immediately ordered to unload all the Shenwu cannons on the ship, and all the musketeers boarded the ship together in preparation for the battle across the river.
The soldiers and horses were bustling with sails, and the battle of counterattack began.
Chu Tianya took Qingwei and personally boarded the main ship to help the battle. In the sound of drums, fifty sea vex ships pulled full sails and drove their oars towards the north bank.
