3. The great victory of Baitu Town
At this time, Bai Liunu and Shulie were commanding the Jin army to fight, and found that the Jin army's advance suddenly stopped. The two took a closer look, it turned out that the reinforcements of the Song army had arrived, and they had also killed a friendly cavalryman, and the two Song generals led by them were very harmful, and Tiefutu seemed to be a little unstoppable. The two glanced at each other, Bai Liunu in front and Shulie behind, and immediately greeted them.
At this time, Chen Yichao had stabbed to death more than ten golden soldiers in a row, and was killing him well, when he suddenly found that the golden soldiers in front of him gave way to the left and right, and gave up a golden general, Bu Gaoma's big black helmet and black armor, holding a chain hammer in one hand and a big shield in the other, knowing that this must be the leading golden general. I was overjoyed in my heart, and I caught the war horse between my legs, and I greeted him, and the spear in my hand "whew", and it was pulled out to Bai Liunu, and the head of the gun trembled, and he swallowed and spit out, and he used the "inch pistol".
The shield in Bai Liunu's left hand blocked a "burst" sound, Chen Yichao's spear was stabbing on the shield, Bai Liunu picked up the chain hammer in his hand, hung the wind, and smashed down on Chen Yichao's head.
Chen Yichao saw that the chain hammer was fierce, and he didn't dare to be careless, raised his front hand, pressed his back hand, and used all his strength to use the "one-word jumping gun method" and "dang" sound, shaking his arms sore, although he didn't jump the hammer, but he finally changed the direction of the hammer and didn't hit himself. However, he also knew in his heart that his strength was too far from this golden general, so he didn't dare to let him swing his bell, and rushed to shoot first, "Huh, Huh, Huh" Three shots in a row, all of which stabbed Bai Liunu.
With his left hand, he waved a large shield and blocked them one by one. Chen Yichao knew that it was not good, how delicate the spear head was blocked by this big shield, and there was no use, and when he was thinking about whether to use a backhand pistol or a horse pistol to deal with this golden general, he only heard Bi Zaiyu shouting from behind: "Chen Zhengjiang, this golden general will be handed over to me." ”
Chen Yichao thought for a while: This golden general can only be defeated by Bi Zaiyu, so he rushed towards the column behind him when he and Bai Liu's two horses were staggered.
As soon as Bai Liunu saw the member of the Song Dynasty who came up, he was wearing a hideous bronze mask on his face, and he didn't speak, but turned the chain and smashed it towards Bi Zaiyu with a "woo".
Bi Zaiyu shouted: "It's good." "Raise the big axe and slash it at the head of the hammer. I only heard a loud sound of "dang", which only shook the eardrums of the surrounding soldiers with great pain. Bryunu's chain was shaken back, but fortunately he reacted quickly, and as soon as he lowered his head, the bell swept over his helmet from his head. I was shocked in my heart: "This person can actually fight his own hammer, which shows that his strength is by no means under himself, and there are such brave generals in the Song army." ”
Before he could come back to his senses, the big axe that Bi Zai encountered had already cut down on Bai Liunu's head with the sound of the wind. Bai Liunu hurriedly raised the shield in his hand to parry, only to hear the "dang" is another loud noise, Bai Liunu even people and horses were shocked back several steps, the left hand holding the shield was sore, this axe Bi Zai Yu is both hands holding the axe to cut down, Bai Liunu is holding the shield with one hand to parry, Bi Zaiyu's strength is not under him, this time Bai Liunu suffered a big loss.
Bi Zaiyu laughed and said: "General Jin, you really have two hits, come and pick me up again." As he spoke, he raised his axe and slashed at Bryunu. At this time, the left hand of the slave had not yet eased up, and he dared to raise a shield with one hand to parry, hurriedly threw away the chain hammer in his right hand, raised the shield with both hands, and was shocked back two steps with a "dang" sound. I only felt that this axe was more powerful than the previous one, and I couldn't help but be horrified.
Bi Zaiyu laughed and said: "Happy, happy, I didn't expect that there were such brave generals in the Jin Army." "You must know that Bi Zai was born with divine power, and he has used all his strength with the axe just now, and there is no second person in the Song army except Yang Yan who can stand it. And Yang Yan didn't dare to fight the full force of the axe before he didn't have the treasure knife "Wind Forest Volcano", and he didn't expect that this golden general would be able to stand it today. Although the two armies are hostile, it is very rare to have such an opponent.
Bi Zaiyu's laughter continued, and he cut three axes to Bai Liunu, Bai Liunu held a big shield with both hands, and even set up three axes in a row, and when the last axe was cut down, he only heard a "cluck" sound, and the big shield made of iron and wood was split in half by Bi Zaiyu's axe.
Bai Liunu was shocked into a cold sweat, threw away the remnant shield in his hand, turned his horse and fled, only to feel the blood in his chest rolling, a mouthful of blood spurting out of "wow", and faintly heard the voice of the Song general behind him: "General Jin, I will spare your life today, remember that I will still meet again." ”
At this time, Chen Yichao on the other side stabbed Shulie to death with a backhand pistol, and the two main generals of the Jin army were killed, and there was a big chaos. However, the Song army was in great spirits, although there was Tiefutu, but at this time, it could not stop the Song army's counterattack. Especially Bi Zaiyu, She Wei, who defeated Bai Liunu, didn't even dare to use Tiefutu's edge, as long as he saw that Bi Zaiyu was killed, he was so frightened that he ran away and didn't dare to fight. In this way, the right flank of the Jin army was immediately routed.
At this time, Li Xianzhong, who commanded the whole army to fight on the tower car, although he was too far away to see the scene of Bi Zaiyu's defeat of Bai Liunu, he could also see that the Jin army on the left flank was retreating and the Song army was advancing. I finally put my mind at ease.
Cheng Min said: "Li Zhaofu, now that the Jin army on the left flank seems to have been defeated by our army, I think we should send all the reserve troops up, attack with all our strength, and defeat the Jin army in one fell swoop." ”
Li Xianzhong nodded, Tiefutu had already been dispatched, and the Jin army had nothing to rely on. So the order was immediately given that all the reserve troops were dispatched to launch a final onslaught against the Jin army. On the Jin army's side, Su Shi Lie Zhining knew that his right wing had been defeated, and the general trend was gone, and no one could save the defeat, so he immediately ordered to retreat.
In this battle, the Song army won a complete victory, killing more than 20,000 Jin soldiers, capturing no less than 5,000 people, gaining countless swords, guns, banners and instruments, and more than 3,000 war horses alone. Of course, the Song army also lost more than 8,000 people, including the commander Zhang Zhuye, and more than 5,000 people were wounded before the battle.
At the same time that Su Shi Lie Zhining fled back to Xuzhou, Xiao County was also broken by the Song general Liu Bao, and Su Shi Lie Zhining had not yet settled down and immediately received the news that Shi Mo Moming, who was responsible for blocking Yang Yan, was killed in battle, and the people and horses he brought with him were wiped out, and at this time Yang Yan and Wei Sheng combined an army of 20,000, and at this time they were also approaching Xuzhou.
Su Shi Lie Zhining knew that although there were still more than 30,000 Jin troops in Xuzhou at this time, they had no fighting spirit for a long time. And the Song army was at a time when morale was high and everyone was brave. If Li Xianzhong and Wei Sheng joined forces, plus the excellent siege equipment of the Song soldiers, Xuzhou City might not be able to hold it for ten days. If Xuzhou City was breached, it would be difficult to get out, so Lilang decided to abandon Xuzhou, abandoned the city overnight and fled, heading to Bianliang.
Who knew that when the army of Fushi Lie Zhining fled to the Yishan area, he was ambushed by Yu Gongliang. It turned out that after Yu Gongliang learned the news of the Song army's defeat of the Jin army in Baitu Town, he expected that Sushi Lie Zhining would abandon Xuzhou and flee north. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to rush back to Xuzhou, stayed in the north of Xuzhou to explore the route of the north of Zhining, set up an ambush army on the Yishan Trail, and took the Jin army to go through the halfway through the ambush army, the Jin soldiers were defeated, and more than 6,000 troops were dismantled, and all the Zizhong, grain and grass, and materials were captured by the Song army. However, Su Shi Lie Zhining also fought desperately to get out of the encirclement and fled back to Bianliang, but he brought less than 20,000 men and horses. Compared with the high-spirited and ambitious appearance when he led an army of 50,000 to fight to the death with the Song army in Xuzhou, he was really embarrassed.
So far, the Song army has occupied Xuzhou, and the good news was reported to Lin'an by the Suzhou Governor's Mansion. After receiving the report, Zhao Tuan was overjoyed, and immediately sent a decree to seal Li Xianzhong's three emcees in the opening of the mansion, and to seal him as Taiwei Min, and each of them was rewarded with copper coins. And the rest of the soldiers were also promoted to the next rank, and each had his own reward. Zhang Jun, who was in Suzhou, personally went to Xuzhou to reward the three armies, and ordered a ten-day rest before continuing the Northern Expedition.
On this day, Liu Fuwu was dressed in civilian clothes and walked on a street in Xuzhou City.
The streets of Xuzhou are very calm, except for a team of Song troops walking by from time to time, everything else is no different from usual. Li Xianzhong governed the army strictly, although he did not have the strict order of "robbing the people and beheading them immediately" like the Yuejia army in those years, but the soldiers were not allowed to disturb the people, and the things needed by the army were also bought and sold publicly, and they did not bully people with power. Most of the trading shops in all walks of life are also opening normally. Therefore, after the Song army broke the city, although there were fewer people on the streets in Xuzhou than before, it basically returned to normal.
At this time, Liu Fuwu suddenly heard someone shouting: "Fuwu, here." Following the sound, Zhibei was under a big tree on the opposite street, and Chen Chichao was waving to him.
Liu Fuwu hurriedly walked a few steps, came to Chen Chichao, grabbed his hand and said, "Yichao, you came first." ”
The two turned out to be brothers in the same school. Chen Yichao's grandfather, Chen Guang, was very famous in the rivers and lakes during the Northern Song Dynasty, and was known as the "first spear of the Great Song Dynasty". The prestige of the Chen family's 12-style spear is still above the Yang family's gun. When Yue Fei was young, he threw himself under Chen Guangmen to learn marksmanship. Chen Guang saw that it was extraordinary, and he also poured it out, and later Yue Fei created the Yue family's Liuhe marksmanship, and also benefited from the Chen family's gun.
At the beginning, Liu Fuwu and Chen Jichao were in the army and were assigned to different armies. But in the end, they all relied on their outstanding marksmanship to be promoted from a small soldier to the deputy general of the front army and the general of the side front army. However, the two haven't seen each other for two years, and they didn't expect to meet in Xuzhou this time.
The brothers were naturally very cordial when they met, and the two walked side by side, and Liu Fuwu proposed to find a place to have a few drinks. Chen Yichao also readily agreed. The two turned a street, and Liu Fuwu suddenly found Yang Yan, Cao Xun, and Gao Zhen standing in front of a hotel, as if they were waiting for someone.
At this time, Yang Yan turned around and also saw Liu Fuwu and Chen Yichao.
Liu Fuwu hurriedly walked over, clasped his fists at Yang Yan and the three of them, and said, "Liu Fuwu has seen Yang Commander, Cao Commander, and Gao Commander. ”
Yang Yan said with a smile: "Fuwu, it's not in the barracks, so there's no need to be polite." Are you out hanging out too! Pointing at Chen Yichao, he said, "Who is this?" ”
Liu Fuwu said: "This is Chen Yichao, the senior brother of the last general, who is now the general in the side selection front army. He turned his head and said to Chen Yichao: "Yichao, this is the Yang commander, Cao commander, and Gao commander of our selection of the front army." ”
Chen Yichao's face was quite disdainful, and he only bowed his hand slightly and said nothing. He has been arrogant since he was a child, coupled with his outstanding marksmanship, he has few opponents since he was born, even if he is in the side selection front army, except for Bi Zaiyu, even Yang Changpeng is not his opponent, which also fuels his temper. He only met one more person in his heart, and even Yu Gongliang didn't pay much attention to it. There will be the accounts of Yang Yan and the three of them.
Yang Yan didn't care, but Cao Xun and Gao Zhen were unhappy in their hearts, thinking: What is there to be angry with a small general. However, Yang Yan didn't say anything, and the two of them couldn't speak.
At this time, someone said: "Chen Yichao, why are you so unruly and disrespectful to your superiors." ”
Chen Yichao looked back and saw that it was Bi Zaiyu, Yang Changpeng, and Yu Gongliang. It was Bi Zaiyu who spoke, he was originally from a family of military generals, and he was very concerned about the distinction between respect and inferiority in the army, and when he saw Chen Yichao's rude behavior, he couldn't help but teach Chen Yichao a lesson.
Liu Fuwu secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't expect Chen Yichao to be as empty as he was a child, with no one in his eyes.
Fortunately, Yang Yan said: "Forget it, this is not in the barracks, so what are there so many courtesies." You're too dead-eyed. He turned his head and said to Liu Fuwu: "It is rare for you brothers and sisters to see each other, so naturally you have something to say, if you have something, you don't have to be polite." ”
Liu Fuwu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and gave another salute to Bi Zaiyu and the three of them, and hurriedly pulled Chen Yichao to run.
