Chapter 1392: Two defeats and laziness

The progress of the Jin army in Weizhou was very smooth, not only did it break Wang Yan's eight-character army, that is, Liang Xing sent troops to reinforce it, but it was also lazy by Wanyan, Wang Yan lost the eight cottages in Taihang Mountain, and fled back to Hezhong Road with more than 10,000 people; after defeating Wang Yan, Wanyan decided that Fu Liang would sign an army of 40,000 as the vanguard, and he led 50,000 Jin troops to take advantage of the opportunity of Jin Wushu's attack on Yunzhong to lead the Dingbei Army and enter Yunzhong. Although he learned that Zhao Kai had appointed Yang Zhi to be in charge of the military in Guanzhong, Wan Yan really thought that he had a chance.

Zhao Kai refused to withdraw his troops in Xingzhou, Guo Yan and Liang Xing in Hezhong were only 30,000 or 40,000 people, and even Yang Zhi only had 45,000 troops in Chang'an. Wanyan tart lazy wanted to take this opportunity to defeat Yang Zhi once, as for whether he could occupy Guanzhong, Wanyan tart lazy really didn't have such extravagant hopes; the reason why he let the signing army take the lead was Wanyan Zongwang's idea, Wanyan Zongwang was afraid that Yang Zhi would be ambushed, and the signing army would die if he died in front, and Wanyan tart would not have an accident.

Under the command of Li Cheng, the signing army walked in an orderly manner, lined up, raised flags, beat drums to advance, and from time to time made earth-shattering shouts, but the shouts were not so much to frighten the enemy as to cheer up Li Cheng; Yang Zhi was almost invincible against the Jin army, and had always been a thorn in the hearts of the generals in Hebei, and Li Cheng was thinking about whether the other party had an ambush all the way, even if it was a forest on the side of the road, Li Cheng would send scouts to find out.

However, strange things still happened, and there was no shadow of the Dingbei Army along the way, but on the contrary, the signing army often stopped in the middle of the way, and the muscles were strained; the Jin Army Supervisor who accompanied him kept urging Li Cheng to speed up the march, and Li Cheng had a bad premonition, and the Dingbei Army did not hear the news that he was coming? Still did not dare to come to set up an ambush? What Li Cheng was worried about was that Yang Zhi would not reveal himself, and then he would suddenly be caught off guard.

Li Cheng immediately became nervous, Yang Zhi is a veteran general with rich combat experience, and he will definitely make some arrangements, and he must be doubly careful in today's battle; however, since he did not find anything, Li Cheng still ordered to continue to advance; after walking for more than ten miles, there was a long ravine in front of him, and the mountains on both sides of the river looked rather precipitous, and there were low forests, shrubs, and dry weeds in the ravine. The signing army stopped in front of the ravine, and Li Cheng sent two scouts to search along the hill from the left and right, but there was still no ambush.

Wanyan Ali said with a smile: "General Li is cautious in his troops, and he really has a fight with the legendary Yang Zhi. ”

Li Cheng frowned and pondered, it was late autumn at this time, the grass was dry and the wind was strong, but since no ambush was found on both sides, the danger should not exist, the length of the ravine was only more than 20 miles, if the army moved quickly, the forward could rush out of the ravine in half an hour; Li Cheng finally gave the order, the whole army quickly passed through the ravine, the war drums were beating, the cavalry of the signing army was in front, and in the deafening sound of killing, they rushed into the ravine like sharp arrows.

It's just that Li Cheng didn't expect that Yang Zhi changed his style of play this time, when most of the signing army passed through the ravine, and tens of thousands of Jin army cavalry entered the ravine, more than fifty hot air balloons appeared in the air, and after bursts of explosions on the hills, countless mountains flew down from the hills on both sides and smashed on the Jin army's body. The direction of the hot air balloon was clear, and it flew to both ends of the ravine along the direction of the wind, smashing thunderbolts and grease water from the air.

Shen Chong spent half a year purifying the fat water, almost the effect of burning when he saw the fire, Yang Zhi's design was to let go of the signing army in front of him, and blew up the road to block the two ends of the Jin army;

The 5,000 cavalry of the signing army opened the way, under the attack of Wang Gang's 3,000 heavy cavalry, quickly collapsed, the exhausted signing army had already lost its fighting spirit when listening to the screams in the ravine, Wanyan Ali was shot to death, Li Cheng was beheaded by Xu Wen before the battle, the 40,000 signing army under the command of the whole army was annihilated, and as many as 30,000 surrendered. The Jin army was burned to death and burned more than 12,000 people at once, and by the time the fire in the ravine was completely extinguished, the battle on the side of the signing army had long since ended, and the corpses in the ravine were all over the ground, and the army could not pass through at all.

Wanyan Tart was completely enraged, such a fiasco was almost unacceptable, thinking that there were still more than 30,000 elite cavalry in his hands, Wan Yan Tart lazy ordered to clear the way to advance; Deputy General Wan Yan Hu Sa hurriedly dissuaded and said: "Lord Wang, our army has lost more than half of it, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past, Yang Zhi must be ready to recover the lost territory, our army might as well retreat and repair, and wait for Yang Zhi's army to go out of the ravine before a decisive battle." ”

Wan Yan was also a veteran in the army, and suddenly realized that his subordinates were probably already panicking, and it was really not suitable for an immediate decisive battle, so he ordered the army to retreat 30 miles and set up a village; Yang Zhi got the news of the scouts, repaired all night, and the next day ordered the hot air balloon to be launched to monitor, and the 30,000 troops passed through the ravine. Knowing that Yang Zhi's army had crossed the ravine with less than 10,000 horsemen, Wan Yan ordered the whole army to attack, and as a result, in the face of the defense of thunderbolts and crossbows, the Jin army again lost 9,000 men and countless wounded.

Yang Zhi didn't care about such a victory, the Jin army on the opposite side had not completely recovered from yesterday's panic, the number of casualties was large, and the accumulated courage suddenly disappeared;

Wanyan tart lazy suddenly withdrew from a hundred miles away, when Shan Tinggui registered the situation of the captives, he found that there were some strange people among the captives, and when he asked, he found out that it was the flying cavalry camp established by Liu Yu, an institution similar to the Paradise Hall, and the person in charge was Guo Jing, this guy was bold, maybe he thought that he was in Hebei, and the Great Song Dynasty couldn't help him, and he didn't even change his name.

Yang Zhi is very strange, Wushen is in Hebei, can't he even get such important news, if he does, why don't he report it back. It's just that now on the march, Yang Zhi can't send someone to Hebei, so he can only write a secret letter to ask Kou Yi, and ask Kou Yi to arrange a reliable person to contact Wushen to see what happened.

Yang Zhi personally interrogated the prisoners of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, only to know that Liu Yu and Guo Jing still had some scruples, and all the original people of the Double Dragon Society were excluded, and those important figures of the Double Dragon Society were monitoring the Flying Cavalry Battalion. Yang Zhi estimated that this was not Liu Yu's original intention, it was probably Wanyan Tart's lazy instruction, and it seemed that the internal struggle in the Jin Kingdom was also fierce.
