Chapter 576: Old Sheep Road

Yue Fei's vanguard and Wang Bolong encountered in the southeast of Qingshigou, the two sides lined up opposite each other, both knew each other's purpose, and even the dialogue was omitted, and the formation was directly arranged; there were 1,000 people on both sides, but Wang Bolong was a thousand cavalry. Wang Bolong arranged two hundred cavalry charges on the left and right flanks, with five hundred main forces on the front, and Yue Fei arranged pikemen and forty divine arm bows on the front, fifty horsemen on each side plus thirty divine arm bows, and three hundred javelinmen with one hundred on one side.

The Canglang battalion has not charged, and when Wang Bolong's cavalry entered the firing range, he first shot with a long-distance divine arm bow, and the density of the cavalry was here, and more than 70 horsemen were shot down on three sides; Wang Bolong did not care, the divine arm bow was a magic weapon for the Great Song infantry army to deal with cavalry, and such casualties were acceptable, but seeing 300 javelins flying up in the Song army, stabbing almost 200 people to death at once, Wang Bolong's face changed greatly.

Wang Bolong saw the result in an instant, the opponent's cavalry infantry is actually a blocking effect, as long as the face of his own charge can support one or two rounds, the javelin and the god arm bow will have the next shot and throw, the lethality at close range is greater, even if Wang Bolong personally kills and destroys the other party, his own thousand horsemen are almost exhausted, if they are entangled, when the cavalry of the Canglang battalion arrives, I am afraid that there is no hope of escape, and the loss of this team, the cottage of Yinmachuan is less than 500 people, and there is no ability to defend it at all。

"Retreat. Wang Bolong immediately decided, Yinmachuan is a strategic place, and it cannot be easily lost, so it is a big deal to ask Liaoyang for more troops and fight again in the future. When the whistle sounded, the attacking horse thief took the wounded accomplices, even if more than two dozen people died, they didn't care, and immediately turned their horses' heads and retreated.

Yue Fei knew that he was not capable of chasing and killing, and even in order to prevent the other party from luring the enemy, in addition to sending cavalry to collect the scattered horses, he could only wait in place, waiting for the enemy to go away or Han Tao's cavalry to come up. The two results were confirmed at about the same time, Han Tao learned that he was one step late, Yue Fei killed more than three hundred horse thieves, seized ninety horses, rubbed his hands and said, "Next time, I have to hurry up." ”

Yue Fei looked at Zhu Wu behind Han Tao and asked, "General Yang, what about them?"

Yue Fei felt really good about fighting, Zhu Wu said with a smile: "He set off in front of you last night, and now he should have entered the Yinma River, and now the Yinma River is cold and snowy, and the war horses are not completely superior, and on some mountain roads, the infantry army is more advantageous." ”

When Yang Zhi and Zhang San rushed to the old sheep road north of Qingshigou, the scout arranged by Zhang San said that Wang Bolong did not come back, Yang Zhi and Zhang San didn't care, they just arranged an ambush, and sometimes they had to hit a little luck in the war, if Wang Bolong didn't come, he could only say that his fate was good. However, Yang Zhi chose the old sheep road, because it was not conducive to ambush, it seemed that the road was narrow, but the cliff was vertical, and the bow and arrow were useless for ambushing at a high place; if it was an ambush on the ground, Wang Bolong's cavalry would easily get rid of the battlefield, and with Wang Bolong's ability, it was the safest to choose this road.

Yang Zhi instructed Zou Run and Zou Yuan to take people to the two forks in the road leading to the Yinmachuan on the north side of the Laoyang Road, cut down the two woods beside the road, and moved the big trees to the road; before Zou Run and Zou Yuan came back, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the south, and Wang Bolong really came. As soon as the rolling wood and rocks on the mountain fell, Wang Bolong ordered the people and horses who entered the old sheep road to run forward desperately, and the ones behind immediately turned the horse's head and left under the command of Li Yu after the break, and changed another way back to the village.

Yang Zhi and Zhang San could only chase and kill the people who had entered the old sheep road, and killed them separately from the ambush; Wang Bolong did not fight at all, but just ran vigorously, ran to the left of the fork in the road, and when he ran for another mile, he saw the trees on the mountain road, Wang Bolong smiled bitterly and ordered, those who could ride horses from the woods should go from the woods, and those who could not kill the horses and escape over the trees.

Zeng Kui didn't understand and asked, "What if they move away from the tree and ride after them?"

Wang Bolong slashed his horse to death and said, "Their cavalry can't get by, we just fight each other." ”

Yang Zhi and others caught up and saw more than 300 horses lying in a pool of blood, and only about 20 uninjured war horses, they couldn't help but secretly praise Wang Bolong's decisiveness. Yang Zhi ordered the troops to be collected, but fortunately there were more than 50 horses under the mountain wall of Laoyang Road, and Zhang San obtained 80 horses; this battle killed more than 200 horse thieves, but Yang Zhi and Zhang San were a little unsatisfactory.

After Yang Zhi met with Yue Fei and the others, he walked into the deep forest and arrived at Qingshigou, where there was actually only a small village, which was a place for hunters in the mountains and hawkers outside, which was extremely helpful to the Canglang camp's plan of action. When the army arrived, the traders and hunters fled like crazy, and the locals ran home in terror, and closed the doors of their houses, and no one dared to come out to see.

Wang Dalang was extremely embarrassed standing on the road at the entrance of the village, except for the creaking sound of the chaimen being blown by the wind, it was the barking of dogs from several households; because of Han Tao's cavalry, the hunters did not escape, and were escorted back to the village, all of them had a cold attitude, their faces were pale, and they saw that there was no change in the expressions on the faces of Yang Zhi and the others. Wang Dalang smiled bitterly and introduced to Yang Zhi that whether it was a horse thief or an official soldier, they came here to sweep away the food of every family, so the people in the village had a sense of fear for the official army.

"Set up camp outside the village. Now that he knew the reason, Yang Zhi issued an order that no one was allowed to enter the village except for Wang Dalang's men and Chen Guang's patrol, and the wounded who needed houses for recuperation must also be discussed with the villagers, and they were not allowed to be forcibly requisitioned. This is something that can't be helped, Pei Xuan, Yang Lin and others are the thieves who originally drank Machuan, and the hundreds of people under them are in the Canglang camp, and it is very likely that there are a few people who know or have a grudge with the villagers.

The strict military discipline in the Canglang camp made the village traders relax a little and walked out of the houses one after another, but they also had no choice, the villagers could hide at home for a day or two, they were businessmen and outsiders, and they had to come into contact with the officials and soldiers; in particular, Wang Dalang pretended to be a trader and stayed in the village for almost two days, and no one could hide it from whom. Zhu Wu, the master of the divine machine, came forward to receive more than a dozen merchants, and Zhu Wu's attitude was very polite, that is, to ask about the caravans coming from the south to the north, whether there were any caravans from Liaoyang or Jizhou to arrive.

According to the experience of these traders, at least two or three caravans had to go back to Hebei through Qingshigou a year ago, but now that the north is fighting, the situation this year is uncertain. On Orion's side, Yue Fei was asking, in addition to the cottage of Yinmachuan, if there were other horse thieves who were currently moving; Yue Fei was very careful, and asked one by one by separating people, but the answer was basically the same, Wang Bolong ate alone, and the horse thieves who came were all wiped out by Wang Bolong.
