    To the west of Yifang, shrouded in darkness, a little bit of fire spread across a distance of four or five miles in the east-west direction.  These extending flames are the camps where the army and horses protruded from the Weishui River Valley.  Every four to five hundred troops and horses form a small camp.  If you break out in a hurry and have no baggage with you, you will naturally be unable to erect fences, dig trenches, and set up a heavily guarded camp.  These small camps are just temporary deer villages built with collected earth, wood and stones, surrounding these small camps.  And on the ground, some densely packed small pits were hurriedly dug for the horses' hooves.  Then the sergeant dismounted and went outside, gathered his mounts inside, lit a bonfire to illuminate the surroundings, and sent out his rangers to keep a close watch.  Such small camps cover each other and are connected end to end.  This is barely settled.  Such a flimsy camp requires a large number of men and horses to patrol the area.  An army composed of more than two thousand cavalry and four to five thousand infantry.  At least five hundred horses were sent out, wandering inside and outside the area illuminated by the blazing fire around the camp, nervously watching the rolling hills in the distance in the darkness, as well as the shadows of swaying grass and trees.  Everyone held the weapons in their hands as if they were about to squeeze out water.  Even though they were nervous, the knights who were on horseback on night watch would gradually sink their heads from time to time, and then they would suddenly cheer up and wipe their sore eyes vigorously.  The group of Song soldiers they guarded were surrounding the campfire regardless, leaning on each other and sleeping soundly.  Everyone has disheveled beard and hair, and is thin and haggard.  But he was wearing armor, and even in his sleep, he was clutching the weapon tightly.  This is really a very tired military horse.  But it is also a military horse that still maintains a certain combat effectiveness.  What supports them is a little hope of escaping from this desperate situation!  And Yang Keshi¡¯s banner.  Just stay in a temporary camp that can be echoed from front to back.  A loyal bodyguard by his side.  There were quite a few people lying on the ground, snoring loudly. Even though some people were still holding on, their eyes were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.  Surrounded by dozens of exhausted guards who were either sitting or sleeping.  Sitting next to a bonfire, his armored figure still upright, leaning on his knees and meditating silently, was Yang Keshi, whose beard had become tangled and his eye sockets were sunken.  The guards all saw that the general was in a bad mood.  I also know the reason.  But no one dared to disturb him. Only two people were quietly eating the food that had been cooled down and lighting it on the fire.  The food is also very coarse, it is nothing more than a bit of unclear paste in a copper bowl, with water and two strips of dried meat added, and it is now so boiled that it cannot be seen from its original appearance.  The food was already hot enough, and the copper bowl was bubbling.  But the guards secretly looked at Yang Keshi's face, but no one dared to carry the copper bowl over.  Yang Keshi¡¯s face was dark.  Led the mourning soldiers after the defeat, regrouped and rushed out of the Weishui River Valley, but the Jurchen troops in front of them were extremely empty.  Yang Keshi really thought he had found an opportunity.  You can attack the Jurchen army and horses from behind, which are struggling to resist the attack of King Yan, and Yifang should be at your fingertips.  I brought tens of thousands of Kansai children out of death!  Wei Dagong asked to divide his troops and attack Yuanbao.  As a veteran general, it feels heartbreaking to allocate even a small amount of troops at this time.  In the end, for the sake of King Yan's face and Wei Dagong's willingness to risk his own life to come and deliver the message, I reluctantly agreed to him.  Yang Keshi really felt that this attack was an excellent opportunity.  Even these soldiers and horses of their own cannot defeat Yifang in one fell swoop.  But with such an action, how could the Jurchen Tatars not mobilize their troops and horses from the front to resist King Yan's troops, after all, although their troops were defeated.  But there are still two to three thousand cavalry troops that have been carefully selected and trained by the family over the past year.  If Yan Yan was defeated, if he had a determined general to lead him, how could the people of Guanxi not be able to fight?  When the time comes, it will be a pincer attack with King Yan¡¯s army, and it will not be difficult to defeat the Jurchen troops in Yifang!  But Yang Keshi was full of confidence, but was hit in the face by reality.  As soon as they left the Weishui River Valley, the not-so-many Jurchen cavalry spread across the vast front, roaring back and forth, harassing them with their cavalry, or attacking fiercely.  Each man and three horses came and went like the wind, and they tightly entangled their own army with the strength of only a few hundred riders!  The mixed men and horses under his command turned out to be cumbersome under the tactics of the Jurchen Rangers.  From the moment of contact, the entire day has not moved forward much.  It also cost one or two hundred men and horses dead and injured.  When he led his personal guards to confront the enemy, he could only advance cautiously.  In the end, Yifang was still out of sight, so she could only make a hasty camp.  And the mountain defense line in the Lanshui River Valley where King Yan's troops were fighting a bloody battle was still dozens of miles away!  Although Yang Keshi has always led the elite field battles of the Western Army, he has little experience in actually fighting the Jurchen Tatars in the field.  I don't have a deep understanding of the Jurchen Tatars' fighting power.  This time, with the help of Yan Yanjun,After advancing, Zong Han's troops showed weakness and retreated, and then outflanked and intercepted them in a large-scale combat method. The tens of thousands of troops lost their airs without actually engaging in battle, and finally collapsed in one fell swoop. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? of by Loushi¡¯s troops, before Yang Keshi retreated eastward, they had no interest in fighting for their lives with Yang Keshi and other defeated soldiers.  After leaving the Weishui River Valley, this was the first time I truly saw the combat power of the Jurchen cavalry!  The advantage of the cavalry's uncertainty was fully exploited by these money-rat-tailed Tatars.  And when there is an opportunity, even if there are only a few dozen riders, they dare to pounce on it and take a bite.  These short and stocky Jurchen knights on horseback, wearing heavy armor and wielding long swords, rush forward into the formation.  After fighting for a while, they retreated like a whirlwind.  Leaving a mess of dead and wounded.  There were also casualties among the Jurchen soldiers, but those who fell off their horses and were injured were still fighting fiercely. Their spears poked three or two transparent holes in their bodies, and they still had half a breath left to curse in a low voice in Jurchen language! ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After several times of harassment by cavalry and shooting, and a fierce charge into the formation.  Even if Yang Keshi personally stepped forward to suppress the battle, the situation could not be saved much.  The high morale since leaving the Weishui River Valley has also suffered a considerable blow. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? How on earth did King Yan¡¯s troops fight against such Jurchen Tatars? Aren¡¯t they all from the Western Army?  ??In fact, the reason also has its origin. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of Yang Keshi¡¯s troops, together with the defeated army of Yan Yan, were really exhausted, and their power was nearly exhausted.  Not to mention that most of the army's baggage was lost.  Even though morale has been boosted a lot.  But if you show your true combat power, it would be considered good to have five achievements. ? And the headquarters of Oru.  It means knowing that it is already a desperate move.  If we can't block this large group of Jurchen troops coming from the east and let them attack behind the defenders on the defensive line, the battle here will never be able to be dealt with again!  Orulu was on the front line personally, holding the flag and blowing the trumpet, and personally commanding the ministries.  These Jurchen armored knights also had red eyes, and they showed only 120% of their combat power!  ??The decline of one and the growth of others resulted in the formation of Yang Keshi's department.  There is a dilemma here.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~ The sound of the campfire exploding was heard softly, while the tired and sleeping sergeant beside him was shouting in confusion.  Beyond the light of the fire, the endless darkness was pressing towards the defeated army that had finally burst into the sky.  These black shadows bared their teeth and claws, as if there were countless monsters with thousands of minions lurking in the darkness, ready to open their mouths at any time and devour these tens of thousands of tired and haggard lone soldiers!  Are you heading north?  Or continue eastward?  If we go north, there are still hundreds of miles to go and tens of thousands of people. How many can escape?  "But if we want to advance eastward, the Jurchen Tatars will have a strong fighting force.  The clutch is uncertain.  But from the perspective of General Yang Keshi, there are only so many troops at his disposal.  Continue to hold your ground.  It is not impossible to move eastward step by step.  As long as they go east for twenty or thirty miles, they can rush through Yifang and threaten the back of the Jurchen Tatar defenders, and the Yan King's army can take advantage of the situation to rush out of the Lanshui River Valley and join forces with him.  And these tens of thousands of Guanxi children can get at least 80% of the total!  What should happen?  How much time do you have left for yourself?  Two thoughts collided fiercely in Yang Keshi's chest.  Undecided, I really don't know what to do.  At this moment, Yang Keshi confirmed more clearly that he would be a good general, but he was by no means a qualified army commander!  Because as the commander-in-chief of the army, you have to make such extremely difficult decisions!  In the darkness of the night, a sharp bamboo whistle suddenly sounded from the patrol station outside, warning the army camp.  The sergeants who were sleeping soundly on the ground were awakened one after another.  The general also got up early and shouted loudly: "Don't panic! Form up! The archers come forward and prepare to shoot at the four positions! Don't let the Jurchen Tatars take advantage of the situation to rush in!" And when Yang Keshi sounded the bamboo whistle  He jumped up, and some of the well-trained guards who followed him immediately stood in front of Yang Keshi with soldiers, while others watched the bonfire and raised the torches one after another, illuminating the place where Yang Keshi used to command everyone.  Military flag signal.  The drums and horns are also about to come out, and it suddenly becomes an array to protect the general's command core.  Yang Keshi turned over and stood on an earthen platform beside him. He raised his head and looked towards the place where the bamboo whistle sounded.  To the east, several miles away from the patrol boundary line set up by his family, he saw several fire dragons converging in different directions.  Under each fire dragon, it goes without saying that there are Jurchen knights who had been hiding in the darkness before.  Each fire dragon is a team of dozens of Jurchen armored riders!  And under the light of the gathering fire, a group of people could be vaguely seen, without raising a fire, just galloping towards their own camp!  The patrols deployed by the Song Army outside noticed such movements and issued warnings one after another.  In the blink of an eyeSeveral large camps occupied by tens of thousands of people were already completely disturbed!  Among this team that took advantage of the darkness and came west quickly, but was discovered by the Jurchen patrol.  " Xiao Yan has an armored ghost face and a military uniform. He sits on the horse and his body rises and falls naturally as the horse gallops.  Xiao Yan pretended not to see the Jurchen armored cavalry coming from all directions.  Xiao Yan¡¯s gaze just fell on the camp not far away that was already in turmoil.  I hurriedly hurriedly and slowly, and finally caught up.  Finally pulled out the Yan Yan army that was destined to be destroyed!  This is what I use to reorganize the front lines on the east and west flanks of the river, and even unify the Western Army!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
