Chapter 302: A Comprehensive Counterattack (Part 2)
When Ji Qian was defeated and died, the raids of Sang Zhong, Li Heng, Li Zhong, Liu Zhong and others also encountered quite difficult obstacles after the initial success.
The obstacle Sang Zhong encountered was a powerful general under Wang Shan - Li Bao.
This young man in his early twenties, who was thin and small but gave people a very concise feeling, had a very distinct identity in the history of another time and space - the future commander of the Southern Song navy (equivalent to the modern naval commander). However,
At this time, Li Bao was just an ordinary leader in the Hebei rebel army. When Sang Zhong raided Wang Shanzhai, Li Bao happened to pass the inspection troops on the other side of the Yellow River tributary and escaped by luck.
When Li Bao learned that the general village had changed, he saw that the fire broke out in the village and the military and civilians were in chaos, he immediately led his 200 soldiers to seize the only stone bridge behind Guoqiao Town that leads to the east bank of the Yellow River tributary. While covering the situation, he also covered the situation.
A large number of soldiers and civilians retreated to the east bank Zizhai to settle down, intercepted the defeated troops and organized a counterattack on the spot. Soon, they expanded from 200 soldiers to 2,000 soldiers.
At this time, Sang Zhong also made a mistake. His thousand soldiers were only concerned about killing people and setting fires in Wangshan's village, and then stepped onto the camp and destroyed all the three surrounding villages. They did not care about the escaped soldiers and civilians.
Don't pay attention to the flow of the souls under these swords.
It was not until the burning, killing and looting that Sang Zhong remembered that the "Plum Blossom Village" had the last "petal" on the other side of the river. Sang Zhong was enjoying one of the fruits of victory, a maid from Wang Shan.
A Zizhai, which can be broken by a finger, naturally would not care about it, and ordered a team of 300 people to quickly cross the river and break the village.
However, everything was too late. After such a long delay, Li Bao had successfully built a deer fort barrier on the east bank, blocking the entrance of the stone bridge. Behind the deer fort, dozens of other players covered the two rows of appointments.
Behind the archers were more than a thousand brown-clothed rebels holding a skull, a whistle stick, a plain wood gun, and even a fork and an iron hoe.
As soon as the three hundred rebels rushed to the east coast bridge, they were shot by a burst of violent arrows. Even with the protection of the other cards, a large area still fell down. The rebels immediately returned the color. At this time, it was obvious that they were fully prepared.
And take advantage of the terrain.
Li Bao's rebel archers lined up in two rows to form a semi-arc attack surface. At the same time, the deer fort in front can effectively prevent the enemy's impact, so that the archers can shoot with more peace of mind. On the contrary, the rebel side, three hundred
People are squeezed into a long row by a stone bridge that is only two meters wide, and the archer is also pulled into a vertical line. The longer the distance, the weaker the range and power of the bow and arrow are.
The result of the two armies shooting at each other was that Li Baojun's archers squeezed into a group of rebels, and they shot them one after another; and in addition to the front rows, the rebel archers could also shoot the opponents, and they had a slight victory, most of the archers were far away.
, or before the enemy's formation was shot, or before the enemy was shot, it became the last of its strength and could not hurt the enemy...
The fences on both sides of the stone bridge are too low to stop people at all. Most of the people who were shot by their arrows are squeezed down into the surging river water by their companions. The bodies on the river surface are floating, and half of the river is red.
The terrain is at a disadvantage. The terrain is extremely unfavorable. Many rebels only injured their hands, feet, etc. However, they were half injured and half squeezed, falling into the river and losing their lives in vain. The rebels were very depressed and kept retreating.
, to pull a long distance to ensure safety. Those who retreated eventually became defeated and fled back to the West Coast in a panic.
In the fortress, Sang Zhongzheng held the maid's arms backwards, and then he felt happy when he heard the bad news. When he heard the hot black stick suddenly became a loach. With his strong body, he grabbed the scabbard and reported the news.
The soldiers fell down and roared in a swollen manner: "A group of bandits and tyrants will beat you up like this! It really ruined the reputation of my Eight Characters Army. Blow the horns and gather the whole army, don't worry about those broken villages.
, I will all step on Wang Shan’s last village for my grandfather!”
When Sang Zhong led more than 500 soldiers who gathered hastily, including more than 30 cavalry, and rushed to the bridge, he realized that the bridge was really hard. Due to the terrain, no matter how many soldiers there were, they could only be lined up in two rows and moved forward.
Let's go, which will cause local troops to be weak and easily collapse under the attack of the opponent. This is a bit like a large army walking on a plank road or passing a canyon. As long as the enemy has a force at the exit, no matter how many troops you have, it will be difficult to break through. Even if there is one
No cavalry can do it.
Sang Zhong finally felt like he was blind.
And the enemy Li Bao, opposite him, was also worried.
There is more than one bridge in this tributary of the Yellow River. In Guoqiao Town, this is indeed the only stone bridge. It can be dozens of miles away, south of Fengqiu, and there is a stone bridge there.
Ah. Sang Zhong's Eight-Character Army arrived in Tokyo in May, and it has only been two months since then. After that, he has been stationed in Huazhou and is not familiar with the terrain near Tokyo... However, the opponent will know sooner or later, once the opponent goes around Chen Qiao.
After hitting the side, the consequences are absolutely disastrous.
If you withdraw to Zizhai, you don’t have to worry about being attacked by the enemy; but when can you give up the bridge and defend the village?
Guarding the bridgehead or guarding Zizhai? Li Bao, the last commander of Wangshan Village, was in a dilemma of being in a dilemma.
...
At the foot of Heiyang Mountain to the northwest of Yangwu City, fifty miles away from Guoqiao Town, there are also two other rebel generals from the Eight Characters Army: Li Heng and Li Zhong.
These two people were originally responsible for capturing Yang Jinzhai, with wine and meat opening the way, blooming inside, and the fruits were quite smooth. After Yang Jinzhai was captured, they left the endgame and let Liu Zhong, who came later, cleaned up. Er Li led two thousand troops and headed straight to Zhang
Leaving with the village.
According to the original plan of the second Li, once Yang Jinzhai was broken, even if the face was broken, the next ten Hebei rebel camps would be able to attack and take the lead. The most combat-capable of the only ones were Zhang Yongzhai, Ding Jinzhai and Li.
It is a matter of time for your village to defeat these three villages, and the remaining villages will be a matter of time.
Er Li’s first choice was Zhang Yongzhai.
Zhang Yong's village was built at the foot of Heiyang Mountain, built along the mountain. The village was not big, not many people, only ten thousand people. His troops were about two thousand, and his equipment and melee capabilities were mediocre. However, one of them was
The elite crossbow soldiers of 300 people. This crossbow team is very famous among the entire Hebei rebel army and is called the "Flying Feather Army".
Perhaps because of Zhang Yong's archer's background, he paid special attention to the long-range strike ability among his subordinates. After joining Zongze, he would rather give less money and receive less food, and have more crossbows.
Arrows finally created this flying feather army. Among them are 250 archers and 50 crossbowmen, and the number of arrow reserves is the largest among the fourteen villages.
Li Heng and Li Zhong wanted to gnaw the hardest bone first, and they could pinch the persimmon behind them at will, but unexpectedly, the bone was unexpectedly hard. As soon as the two sides fought, Li blew his teeth.
When Zhang Yong heard that something had changed, he had only time to rectify his troops. Before he left the village, he was knocked to the door by Er Li and blocked the village. So Zhang Yong played the advantage that the crossbowman was most suitable for defending the city and defending the enemy, and resisting the horses.
The trench was held on the village. With arrows everywhere, the proud rebels were given the head-on blow to Yang Jinzhai who could easily break through the unowned village. The Hebei Rebel Army was not all soft persimmons, but also hard bones beyond imagination.
The crossbowman used by Zhang Yong is mostly a Song army-style jumping crossbow with an effective range of about 80 steps; the bow is mostly a standard black lacquer bow and a tamper bow, with a bow force ranging from five to eight dou.
A few people can use a stone bow. In this way, the range and strike range of the crossbowman covers the range from eighty to forty steps.
As soon as the two thousand soldiers of Er Li rushed into this "fire range", they were baptized by arrow rains. In just half a moment, the vanguard of the rebels were attacked by two rounds of crossbows and arrows.
The violent attack of the five rounds of arrowheads. In an instant, the rebels fell down 200 soldiers and stained the foot of the Heiyang Mountain with blood.
Just one meeting caused such an amazing loss. How could Er Li bear it? He retreated in panic. Looking at Zhang Yongzhai from afar, Duan was both hated and afraid and did not dare to attack again. This matter was being cleaned up
When Liu Zhong, who had entered the village, knew about it, he came up with an idea to drive away the captured villages and fill in trenches, while the rebel brigade followed him and attacked the plane.
Liu Zhong's move was indeed vicious. Not only did he fill the trench in front of the village and break through the double deer fort, he also exhausted the physical strength of the Feiyu Army. Although the village still saved a large number of arrows, the most important physical strength of the crossbowman,
But it's gone.
Just as Li Heng and Li Zhong were preparing to break through Zhang Yongzhai, reinforcements from the Hebei rebel army arrived.
The 12 Hebei Rebels were originally one of the same spirits and help each other. Wang Shanzhai and Yang Jinzhai were captured in a short time and were unable to rescue them. However, Zhang Yongzhai persisted for so long, and the Hebei Rebels gathered to march.
No matter how poor your quality is, you can still climb.
The five village coalition headed by Ding Jin and Li Gui, came to assist. There were about 10,000 people. Although they were not elite, they had complete weapons. They might not be able to defeat the rebels in field battles, but there was no problem in defending the village.
The attack was fierce and the defense was strong, and the battle lasted for a long time, hundreds of casualties on both sides were injured, but the sky was dark. Er Li had to withdraw his troops for a while, retreat to Yangwu City to rest, and prepare to attack again the next day.
From Sang Zhong to Li Heng and Li Zhong, although the start was good on July 14th, they all encountered trouble in the following operations. Hebei rebels had nearly 100,000, although they lacked training and were not soldiered.
All, but it is really not a mud. Even if the main force of the rebel army suffered heavy losses when they were determined to attack but the rebel army suffered heavy losses under the fighting spirit of survival and self-defense, the remnant force gathered together and the tenacious fighting spirit burst out are still unavailable.
Underestimate.
The three rebel generals of the Eight Character Army were all in trouble, and the other accomplice, Liu Zhong, was not easy. Compared with the above three people, what Liu Zhong faced was the real big trouble.
The one who caused Liu Zhong’s big trouble was his mortal enemy - Yang Jin!
Well, that's right, Yang Jin was not dead. How could his body as strong as a bull like him die because of a broken arm? That's too much underestimation of the vitality of the "hornless bull".
After Yang Jin broke his arm, he knew that he was definitely not Liu Zhong's opponent, so he immediately rode his horse and fled wildly. Because he was several dozen steps behind, his riding skills were almost the same. Liu Zhong took a sword and leaped over the horse and chased him for most of the day.
He couldn't catch up, so he could only look at Yang Jin's back, raise his knife and wave it, and return in disappointment.
After Yang Jin gritted his teeth and bandaged his injuries, when he rode alone back to the village, the village was already bloody, with fire everywhere, most of the leaders were killed, and the troops were even dispersed. In this case, Yang Jin would have
If you dare to show your head, it is not a broken arm, but a broken head.
In this case, Yang Jin had two choices: one was to join another village, avoid it for a while, and start from behind; the other was to summon old subordinates on the spot and wait for an opportunity to fight back.
Yang Jin chose the latter.
Yang Jin, who was an old guerrilla, has rich experience in this area. He first drove the horse away (the horse riding was too conspicuous), and then fumigated the fire despite the stuffy weather, picked up a thick felt and wrapped it in a headscarf.
There was charcoal ash on his face, and he couldn't recognize that he was the leader of Yang Village if he didn't get close.
Do everything, Yang Jin carried a machete and a short axe and began to appear among the tents in the chaotic cottages in the chaotic hamlet, constantly summoning the broken old subordinates. Not to mention, after half a day, he actually gathered for him.
There were more than 200 people, but unfortunately there were less than fifty soldiers in the inner world, most of whom had no weapons, and the rest were all people.
At this time, Li Heng and Li Zhong had completed the task of defeating Yang Jinzhai and were rushing towards Zhang Yongzhai. The one who took over the mess was Liu Zhong and his three hundred white felt hats. Although the white felt hats were brave, they were few after all.
If a large village is gone, it will naturally not be able to take care of it. So Yang Jin frequently takes advantage of loopholes, like a groundhog, passing through the house and constantly gathering people...
When it was dark, Yang Jin finally gathered a hundred soldiers. Those with weapons took weapons, and those without weapons looked for a wooden stick everywhere. He hid in every corner of the village, waiting nervously and nervously for the village leader to send a signal of counterattack...
