Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 348 Killing God Shi Congyun
In Xinkou, the Qin army was far superior to the Liao army in terms of strength, morale, equipment, and training.

Once the Liao army was held back by Guo Jin, the situation was already very passive.

The Khitan people's thought history can be guessed from Yundu. They must be thinking that he will not be able to take Taiyuan for a while, and a large number of troops will be restrained under the city. They only need to cross Xinkou to attack the Northern Han army on both sides.

If you raise your troops to the north for a decisive battle, you must give up the siege of Taiyuan.

But even in their dreams, they could imagine that Taiyuan City was broken so quickly under the artillery of the Shenhuo Army and the bravery of the Qin Army. The Qin Army began to siege the city, and Taiyuan was completely occupied, but only a short period of ten days.

The Liao army probably thought that their main force was still besieging Taiyuan, so they were so presumptuous
Under the protection of many personal soldiers, Shi Congyun saw Yang Jiye and the Hedong sergeant on the flank took the lead and rushed to the left flank.

The short bow on horseback is far less powerful than the longbow and hard crossbow. Most of the time, it is blocked by the forward armor. Shooting people first and shooting horses is the first rule of cavalry archers.

The Jincheng army on the left wing rushed forward fearlessly, the Khitans opened their bows one after another, seeing several people being shot down and submerged in the torrent, they fell silent for a moment, but the ones behind did not show any sign of slowing down or being afraid, and held their arrows stiffly The arrow rushed towards the Liao army.

The Liao people in the front were frightened, and pulled the reins back one after another, trying to turn the horse's head to avoid it, but there were people on the left, right and rear, and there was nowhere to go, and they suddenly became confused.

Shi Congyun was also stunned, these Shanxi soldiers really didn't want their lives!Without avoiding, avoiding, or turning around, it became a sharp prominent point on the huge front, and rushed straight towards the opposite Liao army.

This kind of reckless behavior can only be compared with the old man.

The eyes of many people in the Chinese Army were attracted by the movements of the Jincheng Army. Jing Si and Dang Jin who were nearby were not far behind, and rushed to catch up.

Looking from a distance, the figures are chaotic and layer upon layer, and only different flags can be clearly seen moving in the distance.

Soon Yang Jiye's troops crossed a small stream and rushed straight to the periphery of the Liao army's position. For a while, people turned their backs on their horses and screamed everywhere. With a crunching sound, the wooden pole instantly shattered into pieces, and the ear-piercing sound could be heard from far away.

After the collision, several people in the front of the Jincheng Army also fell off their horses, but those behind did not stop at all.

The follow-up troops continued to complete, continued to tear open the gap, and fought forward, stirring up a corner of the Liao army's formation for a while, and the people behind were stabbed off their horses before they even reacted.

The Liao army surrounded the infantry in the center, and there were still many people fighting on horses and horses to attack the mountain. At this time, the Qin army's armored men and horses, like a car, rushed into the crowd and rampaged, destroying them. He was knocked upside down by a war horse and flew a few feet backwards, and those who were unlucky were stepped on and immediately broke their tendons and bones, life and death were unpredictable.

Among the chaotic army, the figures were chaotic, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the situation could not be seen clearly for a while.

If it weren't for the fact that the Liao army was in a heavily surrounded formation at the foot of the mountain, they might have been pierced through and killed by Yang Jiye's troops.

Shi Congyun watched from Yunyao, the people from Hedong nicknamed Yang Jiye "Yang Wudi" because he was not afraid of death in battle, he was extremely brave, and he always liked to take the lead in the charge.

However, Dang Jin, Jing Si, Dong Zunhui and other powerful generals behind were not vegetarians, and they also took the lead and advanced by leaps and bounds.

Not to be outdone, Li Hanchao, Dong Zunhui, Meng Xuanzhe, Han Baozheng, Xiang Gong, Dangjin, Jing Si, Zhe Dejian and other ministries fiercely stabbed into the Liao army from the long front on the left and right wings. In the army formation.

On the right wing, a large number of light cavalry led by Li Chuyun had turned around from the foot of the east mountain, attacked the northeast rear of the Liao army, and intercepted and killed the soldiers of the Liao army who fled north.

The Liao soldiers were already besieging Guo Jin's troops on the mountain in the northwest. At this time, it was difficult to organize and change the overall tactics and strategies. The psychological preparation was insufficient, and the Qin army came too fast.

Shi Congyun's blood boiled with excitement, he kept accelerating with a spear in his hand, surrounded by elite soldiers, all the way to the north, he could hear the whimpering of the wind, the sound of horseshoes, and the shouts of killing were like thunder, like an endless wave.

However, Shi Congyun found that the numerous soldiers around him were deliberately slowing down the horse's speed to prevent his horse from rushing forward.

Originally he was leading the charge, but now everyone has passed him, no matter the left wing or the right wing, or Li Chuyun's Qingqi, they have all passed him to the front
The scene ahead is chaotic, with flags of various colors covering most of the field of vision, and the entire battlefield is full of various and colorful flags.

He rode his horse and ran for a long time without seeing half of the enemy. All he saw were dead bodies and discarded military flags and armor.

"Why are you so slow, hurry up!" Shi Congyun said angrily.

"Official, we are already the fastest!" A soldier immediately agreed: "The official's horse rides well, we can't compare, our horsemanship is not good!"

Shi Congyun was furious: "Grass! It was all delayed by you!
Alas, there is no place for a hero to use his powers. I have not lost any of my skills. If I hadn't been implicated by you and killed them just now, I could have killed at least a hundred of them by myself! "

"What the officials say is too reasonable. It's the subordinates who are incompetent and hurt the officials." The soldiers next to him said that they were reasonable. What the emperor said was true, and they were all burdened by others.

Shi Congyun was satisfied, and nodded in agreement, "Forget it, I see that you all have good intentions, so I won't pursue it."

At this point, blaming them for dereliction of duty will not help, so Emperor Shi had no choice but to follow the good course, slow down his horse speed, retreat bravely, and slowly walk behind the army across the battlefield like a leisurely stroll. On the battlefield that swept across like a wave, there was no one left to live.

When the Son of Heaven arrived at the central tent of the Liao army in the north, all the fences and horses were knocked down, the tent was lit, thick smoke billowed, dust filled the sky, the smell of blood was particularly pungent in the smell of soil, corpses of men and horses were everywhere, broken flags and armor Nothing but weapons.

The dust billowed in the north, covering the sky and the sun, and the vast land was full of figures of the Qin army, densely spread on the slopes of river valleys, looming among the weeds and bushes, the Qin army was on the vast battle line several miles wide, Attack north from all directions, heading towards Xinkou.

The figure of the Liao army has gradually disappeared from the rear.

In this battle, the Qin army outperformed the Liao army in terms of number, morale, equipment, and training level. The Liao army was prepared hastily and was restrained by Guo Jinbu on the top of the mountain. Facing the fierce offensive of the Qin army several times, it did not take long before the battle started. Defeated and fled north.

It is not the usual style of the Liao army to fight tough battles directly, especially when facing the Central Plains army with excellent armor and strong bows.
Shi Congyun held his spear upright, looking at the situation in the north, and finally let out most of the depression and unhappiness in his heart.

I don't know who was pleasantly surprised: "The official's spear has seen blood!"

Shi Congyun saw that the tip of the spear he carefully selected was indeed stained red. The battlefield was so chaotic, he couldn't remember how it got stained.

"The official should have killed the thief just now!" A soldier immediately shouted.

"I think I killed a lot, but it was too messy to see clearly."

A lot of soldiers were stunned, "How many?"

"more than ten!"

"Someone thinks it's dozens!"

Shi Congyun was overjoyed, and said: "Pass my order, let them not stop, continue to chase north, and kill me to Yanmen Pass!"

"promise!"

Several personal soldiers took orders and rode to the north one after another to make contact. The ground north of Xinkou was full of soldiers and horses of the Qin army.

The main formation of the Liao army collapsed, and most of them fled to the north, but the scattered fighting did not stop.

That night, Shi Congyun did not rest or sleep, and led the army all the way to the north in pursuit. The road was lit with fire, and Qin Jun could be seen everywhere under the moonlight.

The messengers back and forth galloped on the avenue, bringing news back from time to time.

From the information, I learned that Yang Jiye's Jincheng Army was the fastest chaser of the vanguard. Those soldiers from Hedong who surrendered seemed to be desperate.

The messenger who came to report subconsciously made a joke: "This grandson beats grandpa better than anyone else!"

However, seeing that the faces of the people around him were not right, they all frowned at him, and even changed their words: "It's a sloppy mouth, and the brothers in Hedong are all good! It's old enough to be a grandfather for the Khitan people!"

Everyone laughed, respect is based on strength.

Because the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty called himself "Emperor Son" and "Emperor Nephew" in front of the Khitan Emperor, at first everyone looked down on the soldiers who surrendered from the Northern Han Dynasty and called them "grandsons" because the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty was the son of the Emperor of Liao. As courtiers and people, they are naturally grandsons.

But in this battle, the Hedong Jincheng Army won the respect of the whole army with their bravery and fearlessness.

"Wang Quanbin, is there any news about Liu Qingchuan's attacking the army from behind?" Shi Congyun asked. The Qin army has several times as many troops as the Liao army. flee north.

So he sent Wang Quanbin and Liu Qingchuan to lead the troops along the mountain roads in Xianzhou, Jingle, and Ningwu from the beginning, and made a big detour from the west, interspersed with Dai County, and cut off the rear of the Liao army.

Instead, what he was most concerned about was whether Wang Quanbin's journey would be successful. Once they succeeded, the Liao army would suffer heavy losses.

On the contrary, if the interspersion cannot be completed on time, they will just drive away the Liao army, and a large number of Liao troops will still escape.

Yesterday's battle was fought beautifully, but the frontal damage will definitely not be too much. Seeing the situation is not good, the Liao army ran very fast
The messenger shook his head: "No, there is still a distance to Daizhou, and I don't know the situation in the north."

Shi Congyun thought for a while, "I won't stay tonight, and continue to chase north!"

All the soldiers agreed in unison and continued to pursue at night.

After more than ten miles to the north, they encountered a small group of stray Liao soldiers, about [-] of them. , caught two, and the rest were all dead.

Shi Congyun interrogated for a while, and among the soldiers accompanying him were Yunzhou natives who could speak a little Khitan, and he found out that the main force of the Liao army had indeed run towards Dai County.

Shi Congyun killed one, released another, and immediately led the army in pursuit without stopping. On the way, he encountered scattered Liao soldiers and his own soldiers who got lost.

After chasing until dawn, they met a second group of Liao troops with more people. They also lost their way, but they didn't choose to run around. Instead, they occupied a hut by the river and forced the people to feed their horses with water and grass.

It seems that he wants to wait until dawn to see the direction clearly before deciding where to run.

There were more than 100 people in this group. After the army arrived, many people's horses were driven to water by the people, and many people rested behind the house, already tired and sound asleep.

The Qin army came suddenly, and there was no time to react. Those few people were also very smart. Seeing the arrival of the Qin army, they drove the horses along the river without saying a word.

Several Khitan men on duty were so anxious that they cursed and tried to get on their horses to chase them, but they were stabbed off their horses by the soldiers of Qin who came towards them, and many Liao soldiers behind the house were slaughtered while they were still sleeping.

After the people's family came back, they knelt and bowed to them, and thanked them again and again. Shi Congyun asked them to reward them with five horses as a reward for their meritorious service, and then continued to lead the army northward.

By dawn, he hadn't rested for a day and a night, but he was still holding on, and he didn't feel sleepy after trying his best. He only hoped that there would be news from the north.

The whole journey was non-stop, and it was almost noon, but Congyun only felt that his eyelids were heavy, washed his face with water from the water bag, and wrung his thighs before he woke up, and continued to pursue tiredly.

He knew very well in his heart that the opportunity was rare and he must not miss it...
