7. At the foot of Heiyang Mountain
At this time, the Song army was non-stop, and had rushed to Yangwu, which was only about ten miles away from Heiyang Mountain, and it was almost a moment. Yang Yan saw that it was still early at this time, so he provided him with a secluded mountain recess by the water according to Wan Xiansheng, and temporarily used it as a resting place for the garrison, so that the whole army could rest, eat, drink horses, and wait until it was dark before attacking Heiyang Mountain. However, Yang Yan didn't dare to be careless, and on the one hand, he sent more than ten scouts to disperse to find out the news, and on the other hand, he also asked Wei Chang to release the flying eagle and reconnoiter the movements of the Jin army from the air.
At this time, the female soldiers finally had the opportunity to wash their bodies covered with melon blood, but no one had the appetite to eat.
While the soldiers were resting, Yang Yan recruited generals and assigned tasks. Because Chen Yichao was sent away, Liu Fuwu was the only commander of the first battalion, and Yang Yan transferred Wang Shilong to the first battalion as Liu Fuwu's deputy. Then Yang Yanling left Xin Qiji and Wei Chang to lead the five battalions here to guard Duodao's horses, Zizhong, and vehicles, and monitor the movements of the Jin army. The other four battalions went to burn grain.
Yang Yan wanted to leave the female soldiers behind, but Zhao Yueru insisted on burning grain, and the other female soldiers were not to be outdone and asked to go together. Yang Yan had no choice but to agree, and they were also incorporated into the fourth battalion.
At this time, the two flying eagles were flying up and down in the air very quickly, Wei Chang's face changed, and he said, "There is the Jin Army behind, about sixty or seventy miles away from here. I'll see that a spy will come back in a moment. ”
Sixty-seven miles, if it is a cavalry, it will be there in less than two hours. Yang Yan looked at the sky, it was dusk at this time, but it was May now, the days were long and the nights were short, and although the sun was sinking in the west, it was still very bright. But now that he couldn't wait any longer, Yang Yan immediately ordered, ordering people to continue to monitor the movements of the Jin army, and ordering the soldiers to prepare to set off.
The granary of the Jin army is located at the foot of Heiyang Mountain, with a village behind the mountain. Because it was temporarily selected here as a place to store grain. Therefore, Dazhai was built more simply than the effect, just a row of wooden fences to make a wall, and inside were countless grain stacks. All of them were as high as a hill. There are about 15,000 Jin troops stationed here, but most of them are used as miscellaneous soldiers, and there are less than 5,000 real soldiers, and they are all old and weak.
However, because Heiyang Mountain is in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, far away from the battlefield, the general of the Heiyang Mountain granary is not only concerned about the safety of the granary. Aside from being a little busy when it comes to getting food and handing it out, there's not much to do, so Bori always has nothing to do on weekdays and drinks with a few good bosses. Anyway, this wine is there, and a few jars are nothing.
Because the Jin State mobilized most of the country's grain and grass here, there were grain shortages in Nanjing Road, Zhongdu Road, Hebei Road, Shandong Road and other places to varying degrees. So Bori bought some grain privately, and made a fortune by doing businessless business, anyway, there are nearly one million stone of grain here, and who can find out if there is a shortage of 1,800 stone. Bori hopes to stay there for a long time, so that he will continue to make money. He started to plan how many acres of land he could buy after he went back, and it would be good to resign from his official position and become a landlord.
At this time, Bori was drunk again in the camp with several leaders. Because of the hot weather, they were all shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts, and they were still pushing the forest to change lamps, and they were very happy.
At this time, a soldier ran into the big tent and shouted like a pig: "My lord, my lord, there is an army to kill, there is an army." ”
But Bori, who was already drunk, didn't care, and said vaguely: "The army is coming...... It must be here...... Whoever comes to bring the grain, ...... You can arrange it yourself, don't come and ask me...... Come, come...... Let's drink again...... Drink. ”
The soldier was so anxious that he stomped his foot, "My lord, I'm not here to transport food, I'm here to burn it." Wake up, sir. ”
Bori laughed and said, "Burn ...... It burns well...... The wine burns ...... Burn hard. ”
As he spoke, he heard the sound of "Pu", and a feathered arrow fell through the top of the tent, and with a "grab" sound, it was nailed to the table, and a flame burst from the arrow.
With a "dang chang", Bo Cheng fell to the ground with the wine bowl in his hand and shattered it. Although it was May weather, I was also shocked into a cold sweat, and the wine immediately woke up more than half, and I only heard the sound of "whoosh, whoosh" arrows cutting through the air. Bori knew that the big thing was not good, and he didn't care about getting dressed, so he rushed out of the big tent shirtless, and took a look at it with the help of the afterglow of the sunset at dusk, only to see that fifty steps away, countless Song troops in white robes lined up, and thousands of rockets and arrows fell into the village like locusts, and the village was also in chaos. Some arrows fell on the tent and the grain stack, and burned the tent and the grain stack, although the fire was not big at this time, but the spark showed the momentum of the prairie fire.
At this time, the non-commissioned soldier who reported also ran out of the big tent, and he was still beside Bori and kept shouting, "My lord, my lord, what should I do about this, you can think of a way." ”
Bori kicked him angrily and said, "Think of a way? What can you do? Don't go to the fire yet, go put out the fire. "In fact, when the granary was built here, more than a dozen wells were dug in order to prevent fire, but now the arrows of the Song army are falling like raindrops, who dares to come out to fight the fire.
It turned out that Yang Yan led the Song army all the way to the front of the Heiyang Mountain granary, and was not hindered at all, until he rushed to about fifty steps in front of the wooden fence of the Jin army's granary, Yang Yan immediately ordered the Song army to line up in a fan shape and shoot rockets at the Jin army's big village. The Song army's archery was not a flat shot, but an arrow diagonally upward, and the arrows drew a parabola, and the rain of fire generally fell into the granary.
After shooting more than ten rounds of arrow rain in a row, Yang Yan found that Yijing in the grain village had no power to fight back, and there was no sporadic resistance. Yang Yan immediately ordered to rush to the granary. Cao Xun, Gao Zhen, Liu Fuwu, and Wang Shilong led the men and horses of the first and second battalions to rush towards the Jin camp. Rushing to the vicinity of the wooden fence, the Song army threw out the lasso one after another, and the wooden fence was put on the wooden fence, and more than 1,000 Song soldiers pulled back together, only to hear the "bang" and "bang" suddenly opened more than a dozen gaps in the wooden fence, and the Song army poured into the granary one after another.
The Song troops who entered the gold camp were all holding a saber in one hand and a torch in the other, and they were not in a hurry to light a fire after entering the gold camp, but killed every person, and cut down to the deepest part of the grain camp if they wanted to kill it. The Jin army in the camp had no power to resist, and was killed by the Song army and scattered and fled. The Jin soldiers who escaped from the grain camp were all shot by the third and fourth battalions of the Song army outside the right camp. Just after the Song army entered the grain camp, the third and fourth battalions guarding outside stopped shooting arrows into the Jin camp, but if the donkey Guo Jin soldiers escaped, they would shoot mercilessly.
At this time, a scout ran to Yang Yan's side and said, "There is a group of Jin troops behind, about 15,000 people, rushing over in the direction of Heiyang Mountain, and now it is less than thirty miles away from us, please decide." ”
Yang Yan said: "You continue to investigate, and the Jin army will report to me every nearly five miles." ”
The scout said yes and went away. Yang Yan then ordered that the Jin army's reinforcements were not available, and the Song army was only allowed to burn grain and not be allowed to turn back to fight.
At this time, Cao Xun, Gao Zhen, Liu Fuwu, and Wang Shilong, who had entered the grain camp, had also killed the deepest part of the grain camp. At the moment, the four of them split up, Cao Xun led an army to the left, Gao Zhen led an army to the right, and Liu Fuwu and Wang Shilong led the army to turn around and kill back. This time, he killed all the way, and all the way began to light fires and burn grain and tents.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and by the time the Song army was killing from the grain camp again, the small hills and grain stacks had been lit, and the raging fire was burning, which immediately reflected half of the sky, and even the moon was dyed with a layer of red glow. In this sunny summer evening, it was particularly dazzling, and as the Song army continued to fight, the entire grain camp suddenly became a sea of fire. The Jin soldiers, who were still hiding the Song army just now, couldn't hide at this time, and fled from the hiding place one after another, but many of them had already died in the fire. But the Jin soldiers who escaped were not lucky, and what awaited them were the arrows and sabers of the Song army.
Although he was more than fifty paces away, Song Jun could still feel the scorching heat wave, and under the reflection of the fire, everything was as clear as day. The golden soldiers scattered and fled with the fire screaming, some were slashed and killed, some were shot to death, the ones who were not dead fell in the blood and groaned, the struggles and wails that were burned by the fire, and the sound of "hunting" when the flames burned were intertwined in Yichao, as if the hellish tragedy.
The smell of blood, burnt flesh and the stench of burning flesh permeated the air, choking the lungs and abdomen.
Although they didn't go into battle in person, they just watched from a distance, and the female soldiers who had experienced a battle still couldn't stand it at this time, Zhao Qianru, Han Zhaojing, Zhang Wenzhu and others couldn't bear to look at it one by one, closed their eyes and retched on horseback, they didn't have the appetite to eat when they were resting just now, and at this time they even vomited out gastric juice. In fact, not only them, but also Yang Yan, Yu Gongliang, Wang Shilong and others, who have been on the battlefield for a long time, are also shocked.
It was Zhao Yueru, who gritted her silver teeth and forced herself to open her eyes, looking at all this, she finally understood that this was the real battlefield.
At this time, another scout ran to Yang Yan's side: "Report to Yang Commander, the Jin army is now only five miles away from the hungry." ”
When Yang Yan heard this, he immediately looked back, under the illumination of the moonlight, a rare black shadow shook in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard. Yang Yan immediately ordered: "Blow the trumpet, collect the troops and retreat." ”
