Fenghou

Chapter 1505 Encounter
At two o'clock in the night, Liu Cui led an army of [-] detours from the east to the north, preparing to go around to the rear of the main force of the Jurchen army and form a pincer attack on the Jurchen army. At this time, they were located about fifteen miles northeast of Linhuang City. The main force of the Jurchen army is about [-] miles away, and the [-] main force of the Jurchen army is [-] miles west of Linhuang City.

The 2 Western troops were walking in a low-key manner. At this time, the scouts came to report that a group of Jurchen cavalry, about [-] people were found ten miles to the east, and they were rushing here.

Liu Cui immediately realized that this should be the palace guard that His Royal Highness King Yong asked him to pay attention to, and Wanyan Wushu would send it to join the battle, and it really did.

This is not only an opportunity, but it is also very dangerous. If the main force of the enemy army comes from the west, he will face the enemy from both sides.

Liu Cui immediately made a decisive decision and ordered general Xu Liang to be the north wing, general Wang Kai to be the east wing, and general Du Min to be the south wing. The three of them each led [-] troops to encircle the enemy from three directions.

Liu Cui himself was the Zhengxi Intercepting Army, leading [-] troops to intercept the enemy on the west bank of Wugushui.

In just a moment, the thunderous sound of horseshoes came from the east, and then the ground began to tremble, and [-] enemy cavalry appeared in the distance, first a black line, then the black line became thicker and closer, Above the grassland, this was clearly a large black flag.

At this time Wanyan Wushu led [-] cavalrymen who went to Wangzhang to bloodyly suppress the opposition. Wanyan Wushu rushed back to the camp, but the [-] cavalry remained in Wangzhang.

But as soon as Wanyan Wushu returned to the camp, he found the main force of the western army in the south. At this time, the [-] cavalry left in the king's tent became extremely important, and Wanyan immediately ordered them to rush back to the camp.

The Jurchen army that Liu Cui met was the [-] cavalry who had rushed back from Wangzhang. It was late at night, and the Jurchen cavalry were used to galloping across the vast grasslands, and did not realize the imminent danger at all.

In front of it is the black bone water. The river is quite wide, about a hundred feet long, but not deep. The water level is only as high as a person's chest and abdomen on average.

Just as the cavalry was about to go down the river, there was a great chaos in the north. Twenty thousand cavalry from the Western Army came from the north. Arrows intertwined in the air like raindrops. Under Liang's leadership, they rushed into the enemy's ranks, and the Jurchen army in the north was in chaos.

The main general, Xu Liang, is Xu Qing, the former general of Yue Fei's department. He changed his name to Liang in order to avoid the taboo. He has already accumulated meritorious service and been promoted to deputy capital commander. After this battle, he will also be promoted to capital commander.

Dutong is just a military position, in fact, there are official ranks and titles.

At this time, Wang Kai, the deputy commander of the capital behind, also led [-] cavalry to cover up the attack, and Du Min, the general in the south, also led [-] cavalry to attack. flee.

Liu Cui in the east had been waiting for a long time, when he gave an order, the [-] cavalrymen fired their arrows at once, shooting crossbow arrows at the dense crowd of enemy troops in the river like a storm.

The crowd of people and horses in the river was so dense that it was impossible to resist them. Pieces of people and horses were shot down, blocking the river, so that the Jurchen cavalry behind could not flee down the river, and were killed by [-] cavalry of the Western Army from three sides, causing heavy casualties.

The high-intensity battle caused the Jurchen soldiers to suffer extremely fast casualties. In just half an hour, more than half of the [-] Jurchen soldiers were killed or injured. Those who went ashore could not escape the killing of the western army on the other side.

Of course, it's not that the strength of the Jurchen army is too weak. The main reason is that the disparity is too great. Eighty thousand elite cavalry encircled and suppressed [-] Jurchen iron cavalry. No matter how powerful the army is, it will be completely wiped out.

Secondly, the Jurchen army is not used to fighting at night, and night fighting has always been the weakness of the Jurchen cavalry.

But the more important reason is that this Jurchen iron cavalry has no actual combat experience. Their average age is in their twenties to early thirties, and almost none of them participated in the battle of the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Song Dynasty. They are their parents, and they are just children. .

When they grow up, their parents have created brilliance. They all grew up enjoying the wealth of the Liao and Song dynasties, and then they were selected as the Meng'an Army, wearing the best armor and riding the strongest horses. Take the best salary, enjoy food and women.

They only look mighty on the outside, much more mighty than their arduous fathers. Unfortunately, when they are on the battlefield, they have no experience, and they are in chaos before the fierce battle.

The battle ended in less than an hour. More than 2000 cavalry broke through the siege and fled to the camp in a panic. The other 8000 people died on the shore and in the water. The dead bodies piled up like a mountain and the river was blocked.

When Wanyan Wushu got the news, it was already the third watch, and Wanyan Wushu immediately led 3000 cavalry to support him, but the [-] cavalry had just rushed out for less than ten miles, and they encountered more than [-] remnants fleeing head-on.

From the description of the remnant soldiers, Wanyan Wushu judged that the opponent had 8 to [-] troops, and the fierce battle was almost over.

Wanyan Wushu didn't dare to act rashly anymore, if he killed him at this time, his [-] troops would probably be surrounded and wiped out by the opponent again.

Wanyan Wushu immediately ordered [-] reinforcements to withdraw to the camp.

From the high place in front of the camp, Wanyan Wushu looked to the east, only to see thick smoke billowing in the distance and blazing flames, it was the Western Army burning the corpses and burying them deeply.

Although Wanyan Wushu, who has just experienced the disease, also thinks that it should be handled in this way to prevent the disease from reappearing.

But what was burned were the bodies of Jurchen soldiers!Thinking of this, Wanyan Wushu panicked and depressed.

Room B of Suo Li stepped forward and said in a low voice: "If this matter spreads, it will seriously affect morale. I recommend that you fight the Western Army as soon as possible."

Wanyan Wushu nodded, and after a while he sighed and said, "Didn't you find out? The number of the Western Army is far more than 20!"

Room B of Soli also realized that they had spies watching the main camp of the Western Army, but there was no movement in the camp of the Western Army, so where did the [-] to [-] Western troops who ambushed the Jurchen Army come from?
The Western Army has an ambush!
"My lord, this group of Western troops should not be able to ambush our army. They are going north, and they are going to attack us from behind. They want to attack us from the north and the south!"

Wanyan Wushu nodded, "I've thought of this too, but the question is what choice do we have? Should we withdraw our troops and escape in the middle of the night, or surrender to the other party?"

Wanyan Wushu looked back at Suo Liyi's room, his gaze became sharp.

Room B of Suo Li was speechless for a long time, and it was impossible to escape in the middle of the night. The opponent was also a cavalry, and would chase after him. The soldiers lost their fighting spirit and would only run for their lives in panic.

More importantly, there is no supply, the vast grassland, no one can meet for days and nights, tens of thousands of people do not have a little supply, they will kill each other and eat their companions for a living.

Thinking of this, Soli Yishi sighed and said: "Your Highness is right, we have no other choice but to fight to the death!"

Wanyan Wushu's eyes flickered fiercely, and he said slowly: "We can concentrate our forces to deal with Chen Qing's large formation, maybe we still have a chance!"

In the morning of the next day, the two sides formed a large formation on the grassland, two miles apart, with 19 cavalry from the Jurchen Army to the north and [-] troops from the Western Army to the south.

Banners and flags were spread across the sky, swords and guns were like a forest, and the formations on both sides were nearly twenty miles away, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

The [-] army in the middle is the king's flag army of Yongwang Chenqing, a two-foot-high king's flag, and a red-bottomed black dragon flag with gold borders.

Chen Qing was wearing a golden helmet and armor, shining brilliant golden light in the sun, attracting the attention of hundreds of thousands of troops.

He drew his sword and ran in front of the team, hitting the spears of the soldiers with his sword, and shouted loudly: "Jingkang's shame will be washed away today, for our slaughtered parents and children, for our humiliated sisters, for thousands Tens of thousands of compatriots slaughtered by gold thieves will avenge their hatred, brothers, do not accept surrender, kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

The 20 soldiers of the Western Army raised their arms and shouted, everyone's blood was boiling, the shouts were earth-shattering, and the momentum went straight to the sky. Chen Qing galloped on horseback, raised his knife again and shouted: "Victory!"

"victory!"

The shouts cheered up the western army, the spears were raised, the swords were unsheathed, and the morale began to rise.
At this time, Jiuxin Lianzhu flew into the sky three times behind the Western Army's formation and sent a signal to Linhuang City twenty miles away. At the same time, Niu Gao arranged [-] defenders in Linhuang City. Commander Duo, he personally led an army of [-] troops out of the city from the east gate, crossed the Wugushui, and attacked the king's account headquarters of the Kingdom of Jin with overwhelming force.
