Fifteen White River ambush
After Yang Woyan received the news of the loss of the Guanghua Army, he was also taken aback. I also heard that the Song army was attacking Dengzhou, and I couldn't sit still. If Dengzhou is lost again, the Song army can not only cut off its own retreat, but now he leads the main force of the Jin army to attack Xiangyang, Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Nanyang and other places are empty, and the Song army will also be able to go all the way north and attack Nanyang.
Therefore, Yang Woyan could only believe that he had it, not believe that he didn't have it, and didn't care about attacking Xiangyang Mansion, leaving 10,000 horses to continue to confront the Song army in Lü Yan to prevent the Song army from pursuing. He personally led 20,000 horses back to rescue Dengzhou.
Because Yang Woyan didn't know the reality of the Song army, he just wanted to rush to Dengzhou as soon as possible, so he kept urging the Jin army to go quickly, and as a result, the Jin army ran more than 60 miles in one breath and rushed to the Baihe River. Here to enter the boundary of Dengzhou, after crossing the White River, you can walk six or seven miles to reach Dengzhou City. The water surface of the Danbai River is not wide, and the Jin army has already built four pontoon bridges on the river.
Although it was dusk at this time, and there was no trace of the Song army along the way, Yang Woyan was still not at ease, and decided that after crossing the river, he would continue to hurry, and he must rush to Dengzhou City today to rest.
At this time, Yang Yan led the Song army with Jing and was hiding in the jungle in the upper reaches of the Baihe River to cross the river with the Jin army. The floating river is not wide, and it can only accommodate two people in parallel, so it will only take an hour for the 20,000 Jin army to cross the white water. Although he was in a hurry to return to Dengzhou, Yang Woyan did not dare to be careless, and still did enough defense work on the bank of the river before ordering the Jin army to cross the river.
Yang Yan smiled at the generals and said, "You see, Yang Woyan is really a person who is proficient in the art of war, and he knows that he must not panic when crossing the river. Although he was in a hurry to rush back to Dengzhou, he still ordered 5,000 Jin soldiers to form a formation by the river first to prevent accidents, and then let the brigade cross the river in turn. And after crossing the river, he asked the Jin soldiers to immediately form a defensive formation on the opposite bank. It can really be regarded as a way to use troops in depth. If you lead the army to cross the river in the future, you must follow his example. ”
At this time, the Jin army crossed six or seven thousand men and horses, and the sky gradually darkened, and the Jin army lit torches one after another, and the downstream fires were lit and were slowly moving from the river. Yang Yan nodded and said, "Let's start." ”
After Wei Jiao heard the order, he immediately shouted: "Put the raft." ”
It turned out that the Song army had already set up six rafts, loaded them with hay, firewood and other things, and poured fish oil. Listening to Yang Yan's order, the soldiers of the Song army immediately pushed the raft into the White River, lit the fire-igniting objects on the raft, and rushed downstream one by one.
At this time, the Jin army crossed the White River with seven or eight men and horses, and the Jin army who was crossing the river suddenly saw the fire flickering upstream and floating down the river with a raft with fire, and the Jin soldiers on the bridge couldn't help but be shocked, and they all hoped to cross the bridge and go ashore quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the first raft rushed down the river to the pontoon bridge and crashed headlong into the westernmost pontoon bridge. The pontoon deck immediately shook violently, and although it was not disconnected, many of the golden soldiers were unsteady on their feet, and fell into the water "plop, plop".
Immediately after the second, the third, and the fourth...... The rafts hit the pontoon one after another, and the fire quickly spread from the raft to the pontoon. The rope connecting the pontoon bridge was first ignited, and it was immediately burned off, and the whole pontoon bridge was torn apart at once, and the remaining Jin troops on the bridge immediately fell into the water, and the river was suddenly in chaos. The raft that broke through one pontoon bridge and crashed into the second pontoon bridge with the fire in tow.
The Jin army on both sides of the strait was also in chaos, and the second pontoon bridge had already been spread by fire and was crumbling. The golden soldiers on the south bank scrambled to cross the river from the other two pontoon bridges, crowding the already small bridge deck. It also caused confusion in the formation that had been lined up on the south bank.
Yang Woyan was still on the south bank of the Baihe River at this time, and he knew in his heart that it was not good, it turned out that the Song army had an ambush by the Baihe River. The soldiers who were still on the south bank immediately regrouped and prepared to meet the Song army. But it was too late to hear the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing, and the Song army rushed from the upper reaches of the White River with the scriptures.
It turned out that Yang Yan originally planned to set up an ambush halfway and flank the Jin army with the defenders of Xiangyang Mansion before and after. Nazhi Yang Woyan left 10,000 horses to confront the Song army in Lü Yan and restrained Guo Zhen's men. Now his men and horses are not superior to the Jin army led by Yang Woyan, and the losses in the head-on battle are too great, so he set up an ambush on the bank of the Baihe River and attack when the Jin army is halfway crossed. In this way, although some of the Jin army was spared, the Song army was able to concentrate superior forces against the remaining Jin army.
Zhao Yueru urged the horse wheel stick and was the first to kill from the woods. The silver-armored white horse, the snow-colored shawl fluttered in the air behind her, looking at it like a mortal goddess of war, although it was in the dark night, it was also very eye-catching. Behind her, she followed countless Song troops and slaughtered the Jin army on the shore at once.
Since entering Sichuan with Yang Yan, Zhao Yueru knew that he did not have the ability to see the overall situation and command the whole army like Yang Yan, so he simply handed over all the things he commanded to Yang Yan, and he took the lead in every battle and led the army to charge.
As a result, it is better than any kind of mobilization order, as long as the soldiers of the Song army see such a princess who usually looks dazzling and does not dare to look directly at every time they fight, then what else is there to say, a big man can not compare to a woman when he fights, not to mention that he can fight side by side with such a beautiful princess, naturally everyone is brave, and he immediately followed and killed, and invisibly, he added three points of courage.
The Jin army had been on the road for a day, and it had already been so tired that people were sleepy and tired, and then the formation was in chaos, and the number was less than half of the Song army, where was the opponent of the Song army, and as soon as the two armies fought, they were killed by the Song army, leaving the corpses all over the ground. Even the White River was crowded with the Jin army. However, most of the Jin army were northerners, who could not swim in the water, and fell into the White River and were either drowned or killed by the random arrows of the Song army.
Because of the melee between the two armies, the Jin army, which fled to the other side of the river, did not dare to release arrows easily, and looking at the tragic situation here, it was not able to use its strength.
At this time, three of the four pontoon bridges were destroyed, and the raft with fire hit the fourth, but it was not lit for the time being. It was because there were still two pontoon bridges on the White River, and there was hope that they would be able to escape to the north bank. Yang Woyancai still led thousands of Jin troops to defend the bridgehead, resisting the attack of the Song army on the one hand, and organizing the Jin army to escape from the pontoon bridge on the other side. The Jin army, who went to the bridge through the bridge, spread their legs and ran wildly to the opposite bank, on the one hand, to escape for themselves, and on the other hand, to leave a way for their companions behind.
At this time, Zhao Yueru also found that this Jin army was still desperately resisting, and immediately led hundreds of cavalry troops to rush over here. Hong Shu'er and the others followed closely behind her, protecting her flanks, so that Zhao Yueru could rush forward to kill without a vulture. The coiling dragon stick danced out of tens of millions of yellow mangs, ** fierce and unmatched, picking and sweeping and slashing, withdrawing and spitting, any golden soldier and golden general, as long as he entered the range of yellow mang's energy, he would be thrown and killed with weapons, and no one was spared.
At this time, a raging fire had already burned on the third pontoon bridge, and it was in danger. The Jin army was left with only the last pontoon bridge, and the Jin army remaining on the south bank of the Baihe River still had six or seven thousand men, most of whom were guarding near the last pontoon bridge. The Jin army's position was also like a devastation, and it was killed by the Song army led by Zhao Yueru.
As soon as Yang Woyan saw the general trend, he knew that if he didn't leave quickly, he would not be able to walk when the last pontoon bridge was destroyed. Therefore, regardless of the remaining Jin army, under the protection of more than 100 relatives, they boarded the pontoon bridge and ran to the north bank.
The Jin troops who stayed on the south bank saw that the main general had fled, and they had no intention of fighting any further, so they all struggled and jumped onto the pontoon bridge to escape for their lives. On the last pontoon bridge, more than a thousand Jin troops were almost squeezed out, and the pedals were almost flush with the water.
At this time, the third pontoon bridge was finally burned off, and countless huge fire balls crashed into the last pontoon bridge of the Jin army along the current. While the Song army was still chasing behind, the Jin army was even more panicked and desperately squeezed onto the pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge was full of people, and there were constantly golden soldiers being pushed into the river, and even the sides of the pontoon bridge were full of golden soldiers, begging the people on the bridge to pull themselves.
Fortunately, at this time, Yang Woyan had already reached the north bank of the Baihe River, and as soon as he stepped on the ground, Yang Woyan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, this time it was finally safe. When I looked back again, I only heard a "click", and it turned out that the pontoon bridge was waist-high and broke because it couldn't bear the weight. Before the golden soldiers on the bridge could scream, they fell into the water.
There were still three or four thousand gold soldiers left on the south bank, and except for a few who died in battle, the rest of the gold soldiers were all captured. Yang Woyan watched from the other side and could not do anything, so he had to order the Jin army on the north bank to rescue the Jin soldiers in the river as much as possible, and then flee back to Dengzhou. Of the 20,000 troops he led, only more than 8,000 remained.
This was the first battle after Yang Yan left Sichuan, and the Song army won a great victory, beheading nearly 10,000 and capturing nearly 4,000 Jin troops. After the victory, Yang Yan immediately ordered Ling Xiang and Zhao Cao to lead the infantry army to clear the battlefield, and escorted the prisoners to march slowly. He and Zhao Yueru, Wei Jiao, Liu Renxian and others led the cavalry and rushed to Luyan overnight.
After Yang Woyan withdrew, Guo Zhen, who was guarding Xiangyang, immediately led an army of 20,000 to attack Lüyan. The Jin army that stayed in Lüyan knew that it was for Yang Woyan's army to break off, so they also resisted desperately, although the Song army was numerous, but it could not break the Jin army's position for a while.
But just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Yang Yan led the Song army to arrive and slashed from behind the Jin army. It was Zhao Yueru who took the lead and entered the Jin army's formation, causing chaos in the Jin army. Lüyan's Jin army suddenly couldn't resist and scattered and fled. The Song army won again, killing nearly 5,000 Jin troops and capturing more than 1,000 people.
After Yang Woyan learned about it, he could only send someone to collect the defeated army in Long, and then sent someone to finish the monk Yan Chen to deliver the letter, and he stayed in Dengzhou and did not dare to come out. In a short period of time, the Jin army was no longer capable of attacking Xiangyang.
