The trapping regiment had sharp weapons and a very high hit rate. The Khitan troops in the front row fell one after another. The Khitan army wanted to rush into the formation of the trapping regiment and fight, but when they rushed to the front of the formation, they found that there were iron caltrops in front of the formation and they were unable to break through.
Dozens of war horses rushed recklessly into the obstacle area composed of caltrops. The horses' hooves were immediately pricked by the spikes of caltrops on the ground. The war horses fell to the ground neighing and were pricked all over by more caltrops.
It was a hole, and he was stabbed to death alive.
Unable to charge forward, the Khitan army could only shoot arrows in front of the formation, but the hit rate of the trapped group was much higher than that of the Khitan army. The Khitan army was obviously seeking death by shooting at each other in this way. The morale of the Khitan army was already on the verge of collapse. Such a one-sided battle, willpower
No matter how strong the army is, it cannot hold on. The last belief supporting the Khitan army is to rush around the flank of the Song army, hoping to open a gap from the flank. The Khitan army cavalry in the front row turned their horses sixty meters in front of the formation.
, while firing a round of arrows towards the front, he rushed towards the two wings of the trapping group, hoping to overwhelm this terrifyingly powerful Song army from its weak flanks.
Like a river divided by boulders, the Khitan army circled towards both sides of the trapped formation. However, what waited for them on both sides were not weak flanks that would collapse in a single rush, but 500 rifles that had been waiting for a long time. Several platoon leaders shouted loudly
The order was given, and seventy rifles on each side fired obliquely at the charging cavalry. Before the one hundred cavalry rushing on both sides could react, they were beaten with blood by one hundred and forty rifles.
He was beaten to death on his horse.
The trapping regiment arranged in a square formation had no sides, rear, or weak points. The Khitan army collapsed. No matter how the elite Xi troops in the rear row roared, no one in the Khitan army dared to charge at the trapping regiment's guns anymore. The cavalry in the front row
They fled to both sides in a panic, hoping to escape with their lives. The cavalry at the back was suddenly given to the front row, and they immediately panicked and fled to both sides. The cavalry at the rear simply turned their horses and fled back.
A few seconds after the soldiers on the flanks fired a volley, the Khitan soldiers had completely collapsed and no longer formed an army. Huyan Chijin did not let go of the fleeing Tatars and ordered the soldiers to continue shooting, and fired three rounds at the fleeing Khitan soldiers.
Another mass of people fell on their backs, and more than a hundred Khitan soldiers were shot dead on their horses. The surviving Khitan soldiers discarded their helmets and armor, threw away all their flags and honors, and just rode their horses with their heads down and ran wildly.
Half a minute later, the originally arrogant "Yeqianha Chaoha Camp" horse army no longer existed, and only the rout of the Khitan army was left on the plain. In front of the formation, the Khitan army's flag was lost on the ground.
There were corpses of Khitan soldiers everywhere. Khitan war horses that had lost their owners either stood uneasily on the battlefield, or fled away from the battlefield in a direction away from the battlefield.
Three hundred soldiers from the Trapping Regiment scattered around, chasing the Khitan army horses that were running aimlessly, hoping to capture a few more horses. After capturing the horses, the soldiers quickly took the injured soldiers from the Tracing Regiment back to the camp on their war horses.
, and asked military doctors to treat the wounded. Other soldiers searched the injured Khitan troops alive on the battlefield, cut off the heads of the dead Khitan troops, and stripped off their armor.
After half an hour of work, the trapping regiment finished cutting off their heads. They put the heads, armor, flags of the Khitan army and the Khitan army alive on the captured horses, and returned triumphantly to the camp. This battle, the trapping group
Twenty-one members of the regiment were hit by Khitan soldiers' bows and arrows, seven of whom were slightly injured, ten seriously injured, and four were killed. As for the Khitan army, 404 people were killed by the trapping regiment, and those who were wounded fell off their horses and were captured.
There were forty-one people. Of course, some slightly injured Khitan soldiers escaped and were not captured by the trapping group.
Halfway through the triumphal team, they suddenly saw smoke billowing in front of them, and a large number of Song troops were rushing towards them. Looking at the formation, at least 10,000 people were coming to cover them up. The Song army drove to the front of the formation group, and saw the fully loaded formation group returning, and they were surprised and suspicious.
The ground stopped. After a while, the ranks of the Song army separated. Kou Zhun, wearing armor and riding his Wumingji, led Shi Pingzhang, Pan Hu and Shi Pinghu in a row.
Yang Peng hurried up to greet him. When he saw Yang Peng, Kou Zhun scolded: "Why did the city lord come out to attack the Khitan soldiers on his own? Let my army catch up for a while!" Seeing Yang Peng, the two generals also frowned.
Frowning slightly, he seemed to be blaming Yang Peng for taking the initiative and forcing them to support him. Yang Peng smiled, cupped his hands and said, "This is a small group of Khitan troops, don't bother me! The general has already defeated them and captured forty-one people alive."
Man, behead four hundred and four levels!"
Kou Zhun was stunned and didn't react for a while. After a long silence, he asked: "You came out with a thousand troops and defeated the Khitan army in a moment? Beheaded four hundred?" The two generals behind also looked at each other.
, with a look of disbelief. Yang Peng said with a smile: "If you bring too many troops out, the Khitan soldiers will flee. A thousand men will be just right to kill these Khitan soldiers!" Yang Peng pointed back and said loudly: "Master Kou, what if?
If you don’t believe it, go to the front and see what I have achieved!”
Seeing that Yang Peng's words were true, Kou Zhun and several generals looked at each other a few times, and then went to test the authenticity of Yang Peng's words. Kou Zhun was not polite, shouted "drive", and rode a big horse to Yang Peng's formation.
, go check out Yang Peng's gains.
Seeing the more than 400 Tatar heads, the blood-stained armor, and the wounded Khitan soldiers who kept shouting, Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment. Huaihua General Shi Pingzhang and several others followed and saw Yang Peng's results.
, everyone was stunned. The Khitan soldiers were very powerful. If the Song army could capture a few heads on weekdays, the governor and general would write a letter and report it to Tianting. Yang Peng killed more than 60 Tatars in the past few days.
The scouts have already surprised the generals. Now that they have captured more than 400 people in one easy battle, how can they not make people frightened?
Shi Pingzhang looked at the heads and then at Yang Peng, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Huaihua general Shi Pingzhang cracked his whip in the air and said loudly: "Master Kou, what a great victory, what a great victory! When the news of this victory comes up, the officials will definitely give you praises!" Kou Zhun looked at the Khitan heads and suddenly became obsessed with them.
, and murmured: "The state has tiger ministers, the blessing of the country!" The veteran Shi Pingzhang finally came to his senses, and walked towards Yang Peng in surprise, holding his hand and asking questions, wondering how he could kill so many people.
Yang Peng of the Khitan Army was vague and dealt with them one by one.
Everyone was excited for a while, and then he led his army back with Yang Peng. Kou Zhun paid special courtesy to Yang Peng and rode alongside Yang Peng on his beloved horse. Kou Zhun said to Yang Peng, "Sir, how about a poem?"
How?" Yang Peng looked at Huyan Chijin and said to Kou Zhun, "I will write a poem for Yang Qilang's wife Huyan Chijin. Master Kou won't object, right? Also, this battle was fought by Huyan Chijin. I take the credit for this.
Don't dare to be greedy. Sister-in-law Qi, you have no objection, right?" Huyan Chijin blushed and said to Yang Peng, "Uncle, I have no objection. I will listen to you." Kou Zhun immediately brought a pen and paper to write.
Yang Peng looked at the scene on the battlefield and said loudly, "All the seven sons of the Yang family died, but Liu Lang was left alone in desolation. The red gold girl of Huyan was a strong woman, so she buried her husband and her children to dress up their military uniforms. The flags were fluttering across the rainbow, and the swords were gathered in a dazzling light. Let's teach the prisoners to rest.
Rampant, harassing our people and invading our territory. The enemy has sent heroes for a while, and when the victory comes, all the people will sing. Every generation of the Yang family is loyal and loyal, and their loyalty will last forever!" Kou Zhun shouted, "Good, good poem, worthy of Hu Yan, the female general of the Yang family.
Red gold, good."
After walking for more than ten miles, Kou Zhun looked at Yang Peng and said: "The city lord captured more than 400 heads this time and captured 41 Dong slaves alive. This is a great achievement. Can you share some of the profits with other generals?
To encourage the generals to kill the Khitan soldiers?" When Yang Peng heard this, he secretly thought that Kou Zhun is here again. Yang Peng thought that it was useless to ask for military honors, so he said to Kou Zhun, "Keep the prisoners, we will take the others.
It’s useless.”
When Yang Peng and Kou Zhun returned from a great victory, the entire reinforcement camp was shocked. They heard that Yang Peng killed more than 400 enemies, and Kou Zhun who went to support also made some gains. The other officers were jealous for a while. They only blamed themselves for not being led by Kou Zhun himself.
When the imperial soldiers came out, Dr. Jin Ziguanglu had something good to do and did not call him.
The officers all went to the Chinese army's tent to see the Khitan heads piled up, and were amazed. Shi Pingzhang raised his hand and asked: "Master Kou, how many days of food and grass do we still have in our army now?" Kou Zhun said with a sigh: "
There are only five days of food and grass left." Shi Pingzhang thought for a moment, said nothing, and retreated.
Shi Pinghu snorted angrily and scolded: "Li Te makes things so difficult for us, why are we still fighting? We're going back to Bianjing!" Shi Pingzhang shook his head and said: "If we escape, I'm afraid we'll have to escape on our backs.
Shi Pinghu said angrily: "What should we do? Are we, a group of living people, to be played to death by Li Te? Instead of starving to death, it is better to fight with the Khitan army!" Shi Pingzhang's face was uncertain, but there was no trace of it.
say.
How could an army of several generals fight so hard that they won the emperor's favor? Li Te, who was in charge of the Ministry of War, and the generals in the camp had no choice but to fall silent one by one. In the end, the entire camp was very quiet, and no one spoke.
Kou Zhun looked at the top of the big tent and let out a long sigh. It seemed that he was desperate. Kou Zhun was despairing there, but he heard a voice saying: "Master Kou, there will be a way in the end!"
Kou Zhun quickly followed the sound and saw that it was Yang Peng who was speaking. The generals' eyes lit up and they all looked at Yang Peng who was speaking, all wanting to hear what he could do. Kou Zhun was happy and said: "
If the Lord City Lord has any plans, please tell me!"
Yang Peng looked at the dozen generals who were staring at him, raised his hands and said: "The general tortured those Khitan scouts and found out that the Khitan concentrated all the looted grain and grass in Yingzhou County. There is a fort with more than 20,000 grain and grass.
Shi, there are only five thousand guards. How about our army kill them and rob the food and grass?" When everyone heard this, they all took a breath. It's not that easy to steal the food and grass from the Khitan soldiers! The Khitan soldiers
The army's food and fodder must be hidden in the fortress that was captured and protected by the city wall. With five thousand Khitan soldiers holding strong, the Song army could not defeat them all for a month - these days, the Song army did not even dare to fight with the Khitan army in the wild.
How could they defeat the Khitan soldiers defending the city?
If the Khitan army returns to support when the siege is exhausted, and the Khitan soldiers inside and outside the city attack from inside and outside, it will be a complete defeat. What's more, there are only five days of food and grass left in the army, and there is not enough time to attack the city. Hearing Yang Peng
Everyone was a little disappointed with the suggestion, and secretly thought that this was not a good strategy.
"Lord City Lord, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat the Khitan's strong city within half a month!" "I'm afraid that after a few days of attack, the Khitan soldiers will come back to reinforce us, and we will be surrounded under the city!" "Now my army only has five days of food and grass.
How can we take down a fortified city guarded by five thousand Khitan troops?"
Kou Zhun thought for a moment and sighed. He also felt that he would not be able to get the food and grass for the Khitan army within five days. Seeing everyone's disappointment, Yang Peng handed over his hands and said, "Yang Peng is willing to lead 10,000 people here. He must be there."
Get this food and grass within five days!" After hearing Yang Peng's words, everyone opened their eyes wide and looked Yang Peng up and down.
Why is Yang Peng so confident? Doesn't he know how powerful the Khitan soldiers are? Kou Zhun looked at Yang Peng in surprise and said: "There are five thousand guards there. According to this, there is another day's journey. The city lord can be on the four sides."
Will the Khitan army’s fortress be captured within a few days?”
Yang Peng said proudly: "Yang Peng is confident that he can break the Khitan army's fortress!" Kou Zhun thought of the powerful crossbows in Yang Peng's army, and his face lit up with joy and said: "If we can get more than 20,000 stones of food and grass, our army will not be able to survive for three months."
We will be short of food. Lord City Lord, please go and I will make a strong journey for you!"
Yang Peng cupped his hands and said, "I don't want to bother Master Kou anymore. I will lead my troops there. If I succeed, Master Kou will come to Yingzhou to join me!" Yang Peng returned to Huben Division and led 10,000 troops.
After gathering the army, they headed for Yingzhou in the south of the capital. The town of Gu'an had been captured by the Khitan army, and the city was looted by the Khitan soldiers. All the people and animals were taken away, and the scene was very bleak. The Khitan sent 300 auxiliary soldiers to guard the city.
Gu'an Town had no intention of holding on to the city. However, Yang Peng did not attack Gu'an City, which had no food in stock. Instead, based on the prisoners' confessions, he found the fortress where the Khitan army was stationing food.
It was a fort with a circumference of two miles. The city wall was five or six meters high, and only one gate was opened in the south. There were various traps and holes outside the city, and there were 5,000 Khitan troops guarding food in the city. When I saw Yang Peng
The soldiers and horses came over, and the Qing army guarding the food closed the city gate and stayed in the fort. Yang Peng ran around outside the city wall on horseback. He felt that there were fewer traps in the south of the city to resist horses, so he decided to attack from here.
A fort.
Yang Peng's method of siege was flintlock style, which the Tatars of this era had never seen before! Yang Peng first wanted to knock down the battlements on the city wall. These battlements can protect the Khitan archers on the wall. If they are not knocked down, they would
Huyan Chijin's troops were damaged. Yang Peng's one hundred and forty six-power crossbows lined up three hundred meters outside the city and fired at the battlements on the city wall.
As soon as the arrows sounded, the roaring sound was endless and resounded for several miles. The scene of more than a hundred powerful crossbows blasting the city wall stunned the Khitan troops on the wall. How had I seen these Khitan soldiers from the bitter cold outside the wall?
With so many powerful crossbows, they started shooting arrows only 800 meters away? With the roar of the powerful crossbows, the battlements on the city wall turned into nothing.
Those battlements were very thin and could not withstand the Khitan's bombing, and they all fell apart when the arrows hit them. Yang Peng's powerful crossbow fired all morning, like pulling teeth, and struck through with arrows, leveling all the battlements on the south side of the city wall. The defenders of the city
When had the Qing army seen such firepower? They wanted to hide behind the battlements to avoid the long arrows, but they were often injured and killed by the gravel and debris ejected from the battlements.
There was no danger to defend the city wall, but the Khitan soldiers were reluctant to give up the city wall. How could they defend the city after abandoning the city wall? In the end, the Khitan left more than two hundred corpses on the city wall, and then reluctantly withdrew. The city wall in the south of the city
In the end, there was no one, except for the rolling stones and wood. After destroying the city wall and battlements, Yang Peng began to attack the city. Yang Peng's soldiers and horses were all riflemen. Of course, they could not rely on ladders to attack by force. That would not be able to reflect the fusillade at all.
The advantage of guns. Yang Peng asked his soldiers to cut trees outside the city and build 500 six-meter-high manholes.
The manhole is six meters wide and four meters long, with wheels at the bottom. It can be gradually pushed to the edge of the city wall. More than thirty soldiers can stand on each manhole. Rifleman standing on the manhole can shoot down the Khitans on the city wall.
The soldiers destroyed the battlements on the city wall, and Yang Peng moved the manhole railing up. The soldiers pushed the wheels of the manhole railing and pushed the manhole railing a hundred meters away from the city wall.
The Khitan soldiers guarding the city saw the manhole fence approaching and knew that the city wall would be occupied by the Huben Division if they did not fight back, so they rushed forward. More than two hundred unwilling Khitan auxiliary soldiers rushed up to the city wall and tried to shoot arrows. However, a hundred
The distance of 100 meters is too far for the Tatars to shoot arrows. And those who rushed to the city wall to shoot arrows were undoubtedly the best targets for the riflemen a hundred meters away. The Khitan soldiers originally came up to shoot arrows, which was just a guardrail to deter the Huben division.
But they didn't expect that Master Hu Ben's fire cannon had such a long range. They failed to scare them away, but lost their lives.
Only a crackling sound of gunfire was heard. The riflemen on the well fence aimed at the Tatar archers and fired. Hundreds of riflemen took turns to shoot, and hundreds of bullets were fired rapidly towards the city wall.
It entered the bodies of the Khitan soldiers. Most of the Khitan soldiers defending the city were auxiliary soldiers. They did not wear armor and could not protect themselves from the bullets of the Huben Division infantry. The skin of the Khitan soldiers was torn apart by the bullets, and their fragile body organs were damaged.
It turned into a ball of blood, and two hundred Khitan soldiers fell one after another on the unobstructed city wall, turning into corpses bleeding profusely.
Only more than thirty Khitan soldiers were alive and were not hit by the riflemen who fired in turns. They jumped off the city wall in a panic and saved their lives. The Khitan soldiers no longer dared to walk up the south city wall. The wall south of Tunbao
, had been completely suppressed by the Huben Division. The soldiers of the Huben Division gradually filled up the trap holes outside the city, and the manhole railings were moved closer to the city wall little by little. The manhole railings were eight meters high, which was more than five meters higher than the city wall.
After the manhole railing is close to the city wall, the riflemen on the manhole railing can shoot at the Khitan soldiers behind the city wall. As the manhole railing gets closer, the soldiers on the manhole railing keep shooting at the Khitan auxiliary soldiers hiding behind the city wall.
Now that the manholes are high up and shooting from a high position, even behind the city wall is no longer safe. The Tatars can only hide behind the buildings in the fort, and rush out from time to time to shoot one or two arrows. However, the hit rate within 70 meters is 80% to 90%.
Compared with rifles, the accuracy of their bows is much worse. Moreover, there are wooden guardrails above and below the shooting port on the well railing. Unless the Tatar bows and arrows are accurately shot into the shooting port, they will not be able to hurt the soldiers on the well railing.
After several minutes of shooting, only a few soldiers on the well fence were shot by Tatar bows and arrows, but more than a hundred Khitan auxiliary soldiers who resisted were killed.
But there are still more than two hundred Khitan infantry standing close to the base of the city wall, unwilling to leave and insisting on defending the south wall. The morale of these Khitan infantry is very tenacious. At this time, they are blocked by the city wall and are in the blind spot of the wellrail.
Inside, the riflemen on the well railings couldn't do anything to them. To deal with these determined Khitan infantry, they could only rely on hand-to-hand combat. Two thousand cavalrymen of the Selected Front Regiment, armed with muskets, jumped off their horses under the leadership of Yang Bamei.
, loaded the muskets, carried the ladder and walked towards the city wall. They calmly placed the ladder on the city wall, stabilized it, and then waited for the trumpet of the Chinese army.
Yang Peng waited for all the 200 ladders of the Selection Regiment to be placed before letting the Chinese army blow the horn. Under the command of the horn sound, the two thousand cavalry of the Selection Regiment launched an attack at the same time and took the lead in charging up the city wall. As soon as they climbed up the city wall
, they held muskets and pointed them at the stone steps up and down the city wall in the fort. Sure enough, they saw the soldiers of the Tiger Division climbing up the city wall, and the Khitan infantry standing close to the foot of the wall roared and rushed towards the city wall.
Come up.
Not only that, the Khitan auxiliary soldiers hiding on the east and west walls of Tunbao also made a noise, howling and rushing towards the south city wall, trying to drive down the soldiers of the Selected Front Regiment who had attacked the city wall. They were hiding in the building
The Khitan archer behind the object also jumped out and shot arrows at the city wall.
Although most of the Khitans who defended the city were auxiliary soldiers, they had followed the large forces to defeat the Xu Song Army for many years, and they had a condescending sense of superiority towards the Song Army. At this time, although the southern city wall was suppressed by the well railing, although the Song Army
Their firepower was unbelievably strong, but they still didn't think the Song Army could defeat them. They still had the morale to attack the Song Army who stormed the southern city wall.
However, the cavalry of the Selection Regiment were not vegetarians. They held muskets and opened fire at the Khitan soldiers who were charging up the stone steps. There were only four stone steps leading up to the 250-meter-long south city wall. This stone
The steps are only more than two meters wide, and only three people can pass at a time. The Khitan soldiers walking on these two stone steps became the best targets for their muskets. The soldiers of the Selective Front Regiment who climbed up the city wall opened fire on the stone steps, killing a thousand
Multiple muskets were fired one after another, turning the Khitan infantry who rushed up the stone steps into a hornet's nest.
The Khitan infantry soldiers howled and rushed up the stone steps and were beaten to death. Then the ones behind them rushed up and were beaten to death again. They charged again and were beaten to death again. They got scared, ran away, and were beaten to death again. At the end of the stone steps
There were three or four layers of corpses piled inside and outside, and more than two hundred Khitan infantrymen hiding behind the blind corners of the city wall were all killed. As for the Khitan auxiliary soldiers who rushed over from the east and west walls, the selection team was handed over to the well railing.
The city wall is very narrow, only more than three meters wide. There are only four or five people at most when the Khitan rushes from the city wall. More than 200 rifles on the eight well fences outside the city wall are aimed at this narrow
The ammunition poured out for more than three meters, beating the Khitan auxiliary soldiers rushing in front into a sieve again and again.
The Khitan soldiers who were hiding behind the buildings under the city wall saw the vanguard group rushing up the city wall and tried to jump out to shoot arrows. But the riflemen on the well fence had been waiting for them to come out. Often when the Khitan soldiers showed up, they would be shot several times.
The rifles were aimed and fired. After several rounds of fighting, the Khitan soldiers' bows and arrows were greatly at a disadvantage. Moreover, the vanguard group was wearing chainmail, and the bows and arrows fired from under the city wall could not hurt them unless they hit their vital points.
The bows of the Khitan army auxiliary soldiers are not strong bows, and their armor-breaking ability is very low. Unless they are shot in the face or vital parts, the soldiers of the Selected Front Regiment will not be seriously injured. After two or three rounds of shooting, the Khitan soldiers finally shot
They defeated more than twenty soldiers of the Selection Regiment, but were killed and wounded more than a hundred archers. At this time, the soldiers of the Selection Regiment on the city wall also put away their muskets and raised the rifles on their backs.
In the buildings under the city, the Khitan soldiers' archers were targeted by thousands of rifles and no longer dared to come out to shoot arrows.
Although the morale of the Khitan soldiers was very high, their counterattack was repulsed by the soldiers of the Huben Division. The Khitan soldiers were hit hard and felt a little incredible. Where did this Song army come from? How come the Khitan soldiers are so powerful?
The leader in the camp was an elite of the Xi Army. He was standing on the north wall at this time. He was shocked to see his soldiers die one by one under the handguns of the Song Army. He was filled with disbelief. This Song Army
Why are there so many cannons and cannons? The Song Army actually has such strong combat effectiveness? Is this still the Song Army?
