Chapter 655: Anyi sets up an ambush
At present, Qin Hu has launched ten armies, totaling 100,000 troops, crossing the Meiliangchuan River and marching toward Yicheng County, which is only a hundred miles away from Song Jingang.
The ten armies were Li Junxian, Li Mi, Cheng Yaojin, Hun Gan, Shi Zan, Tian Liuan, Yang Wuwei, Bai Shirang, Yin Qiu, and Dou Jiande's brother-in-law Cao Dan.
Cao Dan is a special case. Qin Hu specifically named him as General Zuo Yiwei and gave him the real power of leading the army. This was actually a policy of appeasement to the generals in Hebei.
However, this policy is actually very effective. For example, Qin Hu's win over Meng Jiigong directly caused Meng Jiong's general Jiang Shanhe and his cousin Meng Zhigui to hand over the territory of four counties and more than 20,000 troops.
It means that Qin Hu is now in Hebei, Shandong and Henan. Indeed, there is only one Xu Yuanlang who has not yet been pacified. He is urging Qin Shubao to attack him quickly.
Song Jingang heard that a hundred thousand troops of the Yan Kingdom suddenly appeared in his territory. Not only was he frightened to death, but he was also so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. He had known for a long time that he had fallen into a trap, but he did not expect that Qin Hu's trap would actually work. It was so big that hundreds of thousands of soldiers were transported here silently.
It's good now. I originally expected Lu Chongmao to be a buffer at the border, but I didn't expect this stingy guy to die without saying a word. So much energy was wasted on him.
Song Jingang is not afraid of fighting, but now he has no confidence at all, because there are too many people on the other side, and they are a well-disciplined, well-trained, and well-equipped legion. He can suppress this battle no matter what.
What's even more terrible is that he can't ask Liu Wuzhou for help because Liu Wuzhou is now besieging Taiyuan, and the moment of victory is approaching.
By the way, it is said that the Tang army is very strong, but against the Mayi army of Emperor Dingyang, they always lose more than they win. In the first period, they defeated Pei Ji and captured more than a dozen generals of the Tang army. Later, they defeated Li Yuanji and killed three With more than 10,000 troops, the troops have been advancing to the outskirts of Taiyuan. As long as they win one more battle in the end, they can invade Jinyang.
At this critical moment, all Song Jingang had to do was to try his best to block Qin Hu and buy time for Liu Wuzhou, so he could not ask for help.
Song Jingang counted the number of soldiers and provisions, and found that he still had 50,000 horses and 15,000 soldiers in his hands. Probably everyone had a full set of armor, but the armors were all old and in disrepair. , there is currently no place to find so many craftsmen, to put it bluntly, it is just make do.
As for weapons, there are plenty of two-and-a-half-meter long spears, and almost half of them are Hengdao. They are too expensive to buy, so they can only rely on seizures. Shields and other items are also about seven or eight.
As for the strength of the Mayi Legion, it is that they will never lack war horses. Each of their cavalry has at least three horses, and some have as many as four or five. During the battle against the Tang Army, this characteristic of the Mayi Legion , it is really a huge plus point and takes up a lot of advantages.
Li Tang was originally Tuque's main support target, but after they retreated to Taiyuan, they had Liu Wuzhou in the north, Qin Hu in the west and south, and Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in the east, so they could only practice in seclusion, and therefore lost touch with Tuque. The possibility of cooperation was abandoned by the Tuque people.
In the past two years, Li Shihao and his son have spent countless efforts, always trying to open up the situation, but first Yao Junsu and then Wang Xingben, these two guys are fighting against each other, just not giving them the slightest chance. As time goes by, Lien Chan Resources like horses lag behind those of Liu Wuzhou.
However, Song Jingang also knew that his advantage was an advantage to others. In front of Qin Hu's Yan army, the two sides were on an equal footing, and Qin Hu had more cavalry than him, so he was still at a disadvantage. Comprehensive
Considering all kinds of considerations, it is impossible for him to be Yan Jun's opponent.
Under the current circumstances, the only thing he could do was to delay and wait for Dingyang Khan to capture Taiyuan, then return to the army and fight the decisive battle again.
Fortunately, Qin Hu himself did not come, nor did Li Jing, nor Su Dingfang, and even the famous generals he was familiar with such as Zhang Xutuo, Wang Junkuo, and Xu Shiji did not come.
That would be much easier to handle.
Among the people sent by Qin Hu, the most famous was Li Mi, followed by Li Junxian and Wang Bodang.
What Song Jingang was most afraid of was actually Li Mi, because this guy was indeed quite capable, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve the situation in Wagang Village back then.
However, Song Jingang was very surprised, why did Li Mi appear in this place? Everyone in the world knew that Li Mi's nickname was: Xiongcai Dulue.
With such a person, Qin Hu actually allowed him to lead the army with confidence. Isn't this just letting the tiger return to the mountain? This is too dangerous.
Song Jingang decided to lead the entire 50,000-strong army to challenge Li Mi, leaving only 2,000 men to defend the city, preventing the Yan army from getting close to the city.
In fact, Song Jingang had no idea that Li Jing had already arrived in Xia County. He just did not cross the Meiliang River and kept a low profile. The purpose was to confuse him.
Not long after Li Jing entered Xia County, he received news that the Yan army's scouts had captured an enemy scout in Meiliangchuan and brought him to Li Jing.
In order to save his life, the scout confessed to Li Jing the plan of Song Jinjiang and Yuchi Gong, saying that they would pretend to be the Yan army to deceive the gate of Puban overnight, and then betray Puban to the Tang army.
Li Jing felt something bad in his heart. Although he felt that Wang Xing was not that stupid, tigers also took naps. If something went wrong, no one would be responsible.
While sending a message to Qin Hu Feige, he ordered Pei Yuanqing, who was coming with the army, to immediately order five thousand light cavalry, take a shortcut, and set up an ambush in the north of Anyi County before Yuchi Gong, because this is the only way to Puban.
There was no way for him to go around it. The key was to see who was faster.
Pei Yuanqing's straight-line distance was much shorter than Yuchi Gong's. As long as there were no problems along the way, he would definitely succeed. After he set off, Li Jing was waiting for news.
Pei Yuanqing once fought against Yuchi Gong, and it was a deadlock, so he admired this man very much, but it was a pity that he was an enemy and could not be friends.
After he arrived at Anyi Road at night, he immediately ordered soldiers to lurk in the woods on both sides.
The Yan army was the best at ambushes, because the Yan army was the only disciplined army in this era, and the discipline was not generally strict. They were like grass and trees lying on the ground.
Just as Li Jing expected, Yuchi Gong's army finally arrived in the middle of the night. They had been running for a long time, and they were tired and exhausted.
Pei Yuanqing had previously told the flag officer that he had to wait until half of the Mayi army had passed before issuing an order, so Yuchi Gong had already passed for half a day and there was no movement.
By the time the attack was actually launched, Yuchi Gong himself was already several miles away and could not come back at all. Mayi's 5,000 men and horses were cut off at the waist and fled in all directions.
