Nine Yellow River in the middle

So in this mountain trail, the golden soldiers raised torches and advanced at full speed. A long string of firelight formed a long line, which was very conspicuous in the dark night.

This mountain road is about 30 miles long, and it is the only way to cross the Longxi Mountain. In fact, it is not too narrow, the widest place is for five or six horses to run in parallel, and the narrowest place can also pass two horses at the same time, which is very good as a mountain road. By the light of the fire, you can faintly see that the slopes on both sides of the mountain road are full of tree magic. It's the height of summer, and the foliage is very lush.

Just when the Jin army was about to walk out of the mountain road, more than a dozen war horses walking in front suddenly let out a mournful roar, and "Pu Tong" and "Pu Tong" all fell into the pit. There was a commotion in the front army and immediately stopped, but those behind did not know what was happening and continued to advance. The front army and the rear army suddenly huddled together, blocking the mountain road that was not wide at once.

Pu Luxu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the boss before?" ”

A soldier reported to him: "My lord, some people have dug a few pits in front of them, and a few brothers have fallen into them, and they are being rescued by barium. ”

Pu Luxu's mind turned around, and he was suddenly shocked, he was not a fool, and immediately thought of who would dig a pit here with nothing to do? There must have been an ambush of the Song army here, and he immediately said: "Don't stop, pass through here quickly." ”

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, the whistling sound of countless arrows piercing the air was heard, and countless eagle arrows shot out from the dense forests on the hillsides on both sides. The crowd of the Jin army was unprepared, and the screams of people, the neighing of horses, and the sound of arrows piercing through the iron armor and inserting into the flesh immediately resounded. In the rain of arrows, countless huge stones and rolling logs were pushed down, and the golden soldiers who were lucky enough to avoid the rain of arrows were smashed by these rolling logs and stones, and their heads were broken and their bones were broken. With the chaotic Jin army completely equipped with the strength to fight back, this narrow mountain road suddenly became a hell for the Jin army.

Pu Luxu was also hit by two arrows on his body, but fortunately, he was wearing a child armor, and his flesh was not deep, and his face was not a fatal position. He endured the pain and shouted loudly: "Quick, rush out of the mountain road, only by rushing out of the mountain road can you survive." "He knew that the exit of the mountain road was not far ahead, and out of this mountain road was an open field, where he could reorganize his team and fight against the Song army." I have 18,000 men and horses, but there are some casualties, and the number is still above the Song army, and the chances of reorganizing the men and horses and fighting the Song army again are still very good. Even if you can't win the Song army, you can still hold them back, then it is the Song army I discovered first, and the 'promotion to the third level, the reward will be ten thousand' will soon fall into my hands. ”

Although the Jin army in front of him did not have the greed of "being promoted to the third level and rewarding thousands of dollars", he also knew that rushing out of this mountain road was the only chance to survive. Seeing that the exit was in front, the Jin soldiers didn't care about the danger of being trapped in the horse pit, and rushed forward without hesitation. Although there were still people who continued to fall into the trap pit, Pu Luhui still led the Jin soldiers to rush desperately towards the exit.

When I turned a corner and could see the exit, suddenly the light in front of me lit up and dozens of torches lit up as if it were day. A white-robed Song army appeared at the exit of the mountain road.

"There's also the White-robed Army here." Pu Luxu's heart sank, and then a rain of arrows shot at the head of the Jin army. Pu Luxu and the ten golden soldiers who rushed to the front were each hit by a dozen arrows, and even the men and horses fell to the ground. The people who rushed in front immediately instinctively retreated, but the people behind were still rushing forward, and they were suddenly chaotic and chaotic. The people in front and behind collided together, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties.

It turned out that after Yang Yan arrived at Longxi Mountain, he immediately grasped the movements of the Jin army with the help of Du Feng, and set an autumn plan to ambush the Jin army in Longxi Mountain. And deliberately left traces of the Song army passing on the road to lure the Jin army to march. Sure enough, Pu Luxu was greedy for merit, hurried overnight, and crashed into the encirclement of the Song army.

Guarding the exit of the mountain road were Yang Yan, Yu Gongliang, Zhao Yueru, Zhao Qianru, Liu Fuwu, Wang Shilong and a battalion of Jujia cavalry. At this time, Yang Yanji saw that Jin Junji had completely lost the ability to resist, so he immediately ordered: stop shooting arrows and kill Jin Jun. Because nearly half of the arrows brought by the Song army were used in the first battle of Heiyang Mountain, there is still a long way to reach Dengzhou, and there must be a vicious battle to be fought along the road, and the arrows should be saved. Now that the overall situation on the battlefield has been decided, and the Jin army will be defeated, there is no need to waste any more arrows.

At this time, Zhao Yueru took the lead, rushed into the formation of the Jin army, after several battles, she is now fully adapted to the battlefield, a coiled dragon stick in her hands to make a dragon like a dragon, running like flying, and the Jin soldiers have long been without fighting spirit, there can still block Zhao Yueru's rush, in the blink of an eye has been Zhao Riru killed more than a dozen Jin soldiers. And Liu Fuwu and Wang Shilong led the Song army to follow behind this heroine who was as heroic as a goddess of war, and wantonly slashed and killed the Jin soldiers like a melon and a vegetable cut.

When returning, Cao Xun and Gao Zhen led the army to kill from the mountain on the left, Dong Cheng and Zhu Zhen led the Song army to kill from the mountain on the right.

The Jin soldiers also used to surrender when they saw it, so some Jin soldiers chose to fight to the death with the Song army, but more Jin soldiers chose to throw away their helmets and abandon men, dismount and flee for their lives, and go to the mountain, the darker the place in the depths of the dense forest, the safer it is, and the farther away the better.

This battle lasted from the second watch to the fourth watch before it ended. Pu Luxu died on the spot with the dream of "being promoted to the third level and rewarding ten thousand dollars". Of the 18,000 gold troops, less than 5,000 fled, and all the others died. About half of them trampled on each other and died. The casualties of the Song army were less than five hundred.

Yang Yan didn't go to battle, but he just kept directing the battle in the back. Despite the great victory of the Song army, Yang Yan did not have a trace of joy on his face. Seeing that the battle was over, the Song army was cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Yan said to a burly man about thirty-five years old beside him: "I really want to thank Du Da for winning this battle." ”

This man is Du Feng, the big boss of Heishi Village, since Yang Yan came to Longxi Mountain, he has been accompanying Yang Yan and witnessed the process of this battle. Although he was used to licking blood with a knife, he had never seen such a big battle of tens of thousands of people, and the unexpected bravery of the Song army surprised him, but what surprised him even more was that Yang Yan dared to take the initiative to ambush the Jin army even though he was being pursued by the Jin army. He was impressed by how clean he was to win. Seeing that Yang Yan thanked him, he hurriedly said politely: "General Yang is too polite, we are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is naturally our duty to help the Great Song Dynasty deal with the Jin people." Besides, we didn't make much effort, but we were just running errands, which was nothing. ”

Yang Yan said: "I'm afraid that our battle will soon spread to the other Jin troops. Therefore, our army will scatter overnight and say goodbye to the master of Du Zhai. He will repay the kindness of the lord of Du Zhai in the future. If one day the Northern Expedition is successful and the Great Song Dynasty recovers the lost territory, I, Yang Yan, will definitely ask for credit for the Lord of Du Zhai in the court. ”

Du Feng laughed and said: "General Yang, I, Du Feng, gathered my brothers to take a look at Longxi Mountain, but I don't want to suffer the evil anger of the Jin people, not to be an official." If he wanted to be an official, he would have done it in Jinguo a long time ago. ”

Yang Yan smiled and said: "But we can't take most of the things thrown by Jin Bing, if the master of Du Zhai has it, just take it." ”

Du Feng had already had this intention, and when he heard Yang Yan say this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "There are really a lot of things thrown down by Jin Bing, and I will be blessed early, my old Du will make a fortune this time." He said well, only the horses, in addition to those left by the Song army and those who died, there were no less than a thousand. As for weapons and armor, there are countless of them. There are only seven or eight hundred people in the Black Stone Village, and each person can be issued with a set of armor, weapons and horses, and there is a lot more. Later, it was with this huge harvest that within two or three years, the speed of Heishizhai expanded to four or five thousand, and there was an elite cavalry army, which became one of the four great masters of Hebei Green Forest.

At this time, the Song army had already assembled, and Yang Yan arched his hand to Du Feng and said, "Master Du Zhai, there will be a period later." With that, Yang Yan took his horse and ran towards the Song army that had lined up the line.

Cao Xun immediately greeted him and said, "Big brother, you can really do it, this battle is too beautiful." With you, it seems that fighting is not a task at all. ”

Yang Yan nodded noncommittally and said loudly, "Let's leave immediately." ”

At this time, Wang Shilong came over and said: "Yang Tong, the brothers have been fighting all night, and they are all tired, and it seems that it is the fifth watch, so let the brothers rest for a while and leave after dawn." ”

Yang Yan shook his head and said: "Wang Tong, although we fought a dirty battle, we are still in the pursuit of the Jin army, and after this battle, our whereabouts will be exposed, and the Jin army will come to surround us immediately. I have to go away overnight when I am tired, and I am afraid it will be too late when the light is extinguished. ”

So the Song army ignored the fatigue, moved overnight, and at noon the next day, rushed to the Changhuan Yellow River crossing, where Pu Luhui had crossed the Yellow River a day earlier. At this time, the boats and soldiers at the ferry port were still on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the Song army immediately surrounded it, just like at the Ligu ferry, and captured all the Jin soldiers and sailors.

With a "whew", Su Shi Lie Zhining jumped up from the chair. "What? The Song army crossed the Yellow River again and returned to the south bank of the Yellow River. ”

The spy said: "Back to Marshal Zuo, on the night of the 27th of the 5th, the Song army Fushan General Pu Lu Xu in the Longshu Mountain Road, General Pu Lu Xu was killed on the spot, and less than 5,000 of the 18,000 men and horses remained. At noon on 28 May, the Song army turned south and reached the crossing of the Changhuan Yellow River, and by late evening they had all crossed the Yellow River. Then the whole army went south. ”

Su Shi Lie Zhining Qingjin rioted: "Fooled, fooled, Yang Yan's big fool." Yang Yan's real goal was to lure the pursuing men and horses to the north bank of the Yellow River, and then he was returning to cross the Yellow River, return to the south bank of the Yellow River, and take the opportunity to return to the Song Kingdom. This Yang Yan is really too cunning. ”

Su Shi Lie Zhining stabilized his mind and studied the current situation: it seems that he is not needed, but his life is safe, but if Yang Yan is allowed to flee back to the Song Kingdom like this, how can he explain to the emperor? Su Shi Lie Zhining put back on his chair and thought for a while, "Now the other four people are there?" ”

The spy said: "Sun Jing's department is in the Puyang area, Hanli's department is in the Lingchuan area, and the Qingshan Nu department is probably between the Daimyo's Mansion and Neihuang at this time, and the current position of the Azibu Department is not clear." ”

Su Shi Lie Zhining had no choice but to smile bitterly, the lack of smooth information has always been a headache in the war, and the dog is fighting in such a vast area, and it is indeed inconvenient to transmit the news. But this is also something that cannot be overcome by manpower. At this time, Su Shi Lie Zhining was a little envious of Yang Yan: at least he wouldn't worry about delivering the news.

Su Shi Lie Zhining finally sorted out the clue: "Immediately send people from Changhuan Ferry to the south to inquire about the whereabouts of the Song army, and then urgently inform the other four people and horses for 800 miles, and immediately return to the south bank of the Yellow River to pursue the Song army." After a pause, Su Shi Lie Zhining said again: "After informing Yan Changzhi, the border between the Song and Jin countries must be blocked, and not a single Song army must be allowed to escape back to the land of the Southern Song Dynasty." ”
