Chapter 855: Prison Cage (2)(2/2)
The next day, the troops continued to be sent. The Jin Su army was a small hill, most of the Liangmao terrain, Xiaoshishan was a hill, and Xiaotushan was a Liangmao. It was east-west along the river area, and the central and western regions mostly moved north-south, but it was not very regular, and was generally crisscrossed.
More than ten miles below Jinsu City, there is a large mountain valley that runs east and west, and then along a slightly north-south ravine, along the east side of Jinsu City, it leads directly to Junzijin. It is relatively flat and has become the most important road for the Jinsu Army. This is the road that the Liao army took.
Seeing that he had walked a few dozen miles more, he was about to reach Junzijin. Suddenly, a cavalry came to the south and led all the Liao army in half.
It was not an ambush, but the Liao army was very careful when it was traveling. Before the front army arrived, the scouts came first. If they wanted to lie on both sides of the road, they would inevitably be discovered. So the Song army sent a huge army to walk on both sides of the road at night, but it was far away from the main road, about ten miles away. Then they first asked Liu Fa to lead the cavalry and drag the Liao army into two and here.
Liu Fa's troops were not large, but due to the terrain, the forces of the Liao Kingdom's east and west were never able to gather.
After nearly an hour of tragic battle, nearly half of Liu Fa's subordinates suffered casualties, but Liu Fa never retreated, and the ambush behind him rushed up. It was not because there were no soldiers, but because of these two Song troops alone, the strength of the two Song troops reached 40,000 to 50,000.
After fighting with Liu Fa for so long, and 40,000 to 50,000 elite cavalry and infantry troops of the Song Dynasty rushed over, and the Liao army was in half again. Soon the Liao army began to be defeated.
It has nothing to do with field battles, because this is the terrain of Liangmao, and the cavalry advantages cannot be fully utilized. The infantry of the Song Dynasty held sharp weapons and was mostly a group of veterans who had been through the battlefield. Their combat effectiveness was not weaker than that of the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom.
The Liao army in the west fled westward. Miao Lu led a group of officers and soldiers to chase them. Zhe Kexing led the remaining officers and soldiers to continue to kill the Liao army on the east route. He fought all the way to the edge of the Yellow River. Some Liao soldiers were blinded and jumped directly into the Yellow River.
The remaining Liao army was killed on this river beach and ran away with its head, which made the Liao army, who were moving stones on the opposite side frightened. Zhe Kexing pointed at the Liao army on the other side with a sword, and then escorted the prisoners of war back.
The Liao army in the west continued to be defeated and fled. After nearly a hundred miles of escape, Lin Guang and Jia Yan and other generals led nearly 30,000 officers and soldiers to fight out one after another. In the end, there were only more than 10,000 Liao soldiers who could escape safely.
Then the Song army suddenly rushed out like a god descending from heaven. Countless officers and soldiers guarded the dangerous places of each road and set up camp. Even if the Liao army broke through one line of defense, there was a second line of defense and the third line of defense behind it.
Then a soldier brought artillery and bombarded the Liao army, which was moving stones on the other side, causing thousands of Liao troops to flee eastward one by one.
The truth comes out. It is not that the Song Dynasty has no soldiers here, but that there are countless troops. From Fengzhou to the Yellow River area, there are 200,000 Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians stationed. In fact, the so-called civilians are also soldiers, and they can be regarded as at least one militia.
Moreover, from Fengzhou to Youzhou, nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians were stationed in the Song Dynasty.
