Chapter 244 Baigou River
In mid-July, in the north, Baigou River.
After a light rain, the weather gradually became cooler, and the leaves in the mountains and fields turned slightly yellow from green. On the banks of the river, occasionally when there was no sun, you could see that the river surface could not hide the chill.
The wooden hammer hit the wooden stake with a bang. The soldiers covered in sweat waved their arms to knock down the wooden stake and began to pull the rough wire mesh, and arranged them one by one. There was a hidden barb on them. If they were not careful, they would cut bloody mouths on the soldiers' arms. On the Baigou River Bridge, Qin Ming was wearing armor and patrolling with his personal soldiers, but he spoke a sense of anger between his eyebrows.
"This Tong Guan..." He spoke in a stern tone and gritted his teeth. When he was angry, he snatched the hammer from the soldier's hand and knocked it hard on the wooden stake a few times, then threw the hammer on the ground and headed towards the commander's tent: "I can't swallow this, I'm going to see Brother Guan."
In early July, Tong Guan came to Daming Prefecture to command the Northern Expedition and arranged two armies to attack east and west at the same time. Yang Keshi was the vanguard of the front army to take Yanshan. As a result, he was successfully attacked by the famous Liao general Yelu Dashi in Langoudian and was defeated in the first battle. This time, Qin Ming, the new army of Guan Sheng's troops did not arrange a sequence to go to the east battlefield, but instead dispatched to guard Baigou Bridge as the guardian.
When the curtain was lifted, Qin Ming stepped in with anger and sat in the side position. Seeing Guan Sheng reading military books without saying a word, he slapped on the short table in anger, "Brother, are you still calm down? The new army we trained does not even have the chance to go to the battlefield. I am afraid that this stick will not be as good as a few of us brothers."
Guan Sheng put down the military book and brushed his long beard and sighed, "Brother, don't blame Tong Shumi, he is also worried. After all, our new army has only attacked bandits in the mountains and fields, and he is not relieved. Besides, he also knows that the few people we and others are promoted by Admiral Bai, and he is unreasonable to say that he is on the battlefield."
"He was worried!" Qin Ming turned his face, "Who doesn't know... He only believes that the powerful soldiers and generals in his hands who have tried to fight Xixia and fought Fang La. But if you really want to know the Liao army, who can compare with me? Then Yang Keshi fought in the first battle so badly. A few days later, Tong Guan even asked someone to write a letter of persuasion to Yelu Dashi. This... Anyway, Qin Mingguang, I, after hearing this, felt embarrassed and left home. I couldn't win the battle, and I even persuaded to surrender..."
The hand that had just put down the Bingshu trembled slightly, and the long beard shook gently in the air. Guan Shengfeng closed his eyes, frowned, suppressed his anger, and finally took a deep breath to slow down.
"Now the situation in the north is changing rapidly, and Tong Shumi is also looking for opportunities to fight. The Jin Kingdom attacked cities and villages in the east and captured nearly half of the land of Liao Kingdom. The troops in the west were mostly transferred to resist. However, such a good opportunity, they actually failed in the first battle, which was really speechless. Moreover, Yelu Dashi's Liaoxing army was beaten by the Jurchen barbarians in the east and retreated to repair it. A group of defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers... It is a great shame to stop us."
"Look at how Tong Shumi will fight next... The Eastern Army has 100,000 people to fight 10,000 people. I guess the other party won't accept it." Guan Sheng finally came to a conclusion.
Soon, Huang Xin, the "Three Mountains" outside the tent, came in and reported with a puzzled look: "Two brothers, I just inspected the river and found that the water flow was slow and fast, and I felt something was wrong."
Qin Ming and Guan Sheng looked at each other. Anyway, there was nothing important to talk about now, so they decided to go over and take a look. The Baigou River is very wide and deep. If someone wants to fill the river, it is obviously inappropriate. Guan Sheng carefully observed the water surface, and the rising and falling waves made him frown. "How is the water in the upper river section?"
"Not that big noise." Huang Xin answered truthfully.
After a moment of silence, the three of them fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Guan Sheng glared at the phoenix's eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "No, Yelu Dashi crossed the river somewhere in the Xiahe section, and he was going to seize the bridge!"
………….
Immediately, the silent Qinglong Yanyue Sword was taken off on the weapon stand.
Holding it in his hand, the figure turned over the horse, and the horses neighed in the camp, shouting, and in a hurry, three thousand cavalrymen were drawn out in formation, stepping on the sound of horse hooves, rushing towards the west bank with dust.
Forty miles away, among the mountains and fields on the side, the flags of the Liao Kingdom were clearly visible in the sunlight, and the formation of the cavalry spread like a long snake, winding and crawling on the road.
"It's really here..."
The hidden Guan Sheng caresses his beard and opens his eyes.
The maroon horse kicked the horse's hooves uneasily, panting heavily. The copper bell on his neck was getting louder and louder. Then the horse's hooves took one step, two or three steps, and began to speed up the rushing down the slope. The three thousand cavalry behind him also walked out of the forest and rushed down.
The Changshu set up one after another as the general wearing a green robe and a golden helmet raised the green dragon sword in his hand.
Rumble
The horse's hooves splashed, and three thousand cavalry lined down like a huge torrent, pounced on the Liao cavalry that was marching quietly. At this moment, the opposite side was also shocked by the sudden appearance of the Wuchao cavalry. The formation was dispersed, and the moment the soldiers came into contact.
The Qinglong sword slashed.
"Speed Battle and Decision" Guan Sheng shouted violently and collided with a Liao cavalry head-on. The man flew up from his mount and broke into two pieces in the air. When he fell to the ground, his blood was still flying in the air.
In the next second, the rumbling cavalry rushed up overwhelmed and then suddenly exploded. The sharp heads poked the opponent's armor and continued to advance. The violent collision between the war horses and the war horses made many people unable to stand this kind of impact and fell down and were trampled to death by the horse's hooves.
Among Lin Jiaozhan's soldiers, a Liao man rushed over with a knife. Guan Sheng swept his sword and said with a loud bang. The man was directly driven by his high-speed movement and huge force. A knife swept the door, and his whole face was broken into pieces. The horses under the seat were shaken by the force, and the forelimbs were trembling. He staggered down and fell to the ground.
The battle was fought on the battlefield, and the outcome was only a few breaths, and it was divided in a flash. Guan Sheng crossed the enemy and us several times, with blood seeping in half of his body, and his eyes kept looking back and forth in the battlefield, killing a person casually. The sharp blue dragon sword was still stuck in the other party's head, but a sense of uneasiness began to gradually cover his heart.
"Yelu Dashi is not here..."
“…The troops are divided into two groups…”
"Oops!"
Guan Sheng turned around and looked at the direction he came, on the Baigou Bridge, he hoped that Qin Ming could defend...
***************************************************
On the other side of the Baigou River, there was still water vapor in the air. A horse rode towards the hillside in the wind. Looking at the military camp opposite, behind him, a group of cavalry wrapped in horseshoes gathered from beginning to end without stopping.
Then, the legendary general of the Liao Kingdom waved his hand.
"Observe" he said.
The horse's hooves wrapped in cotton cloth were swaying on the gravel on the mountain road, silently, only the armor leaves collided slightly and rubbed when they were shaking, and then accelerated and rushed to the camp of the Wuchao army.
