The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 293 Ambush
There was only one choice left for Li Qingzhao, and that was to eliminate the more than 50,000 Liao troops rushing to aid Nanjing's Xijin Prefecture!
Twenty-five thousand horses faced Liao's 50,000 soldiers and horses. Li Qingzhao was confident that Liao's 50,000 soldiers and horses would be left here. However, if Liao's soldiers and horses did not only have 50,000 soldiers, the chance of winning would be even smaller.

However, this left Li Qingzhao with no choice.

If they don't attack the Liao reinforcements right here, I'm afraid it will have a huge impact on the front army, and if they do it right here, I'm afraid their central army will not survive.

Li Qingzhao shook his head slightly, and then ordered to go down, "Prepare for war!"

In the morning light, dew condenses and white frost freezes on the dead leaves and tree trunks, adding a bit of vicissitudes and desolation.

In the military camp, the soldiers quickly put away their tents, then cleared away all the traces they left behind, restoring everything around them to their original form.

The soldiers in the army were already wearing armor and holding spears, ready to face the enemy.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao immediately rode on the back of Tuxue, also holding a spear in his hand, and then came to the front of the military formation.

"Everyone, the enemy army is coming, but the enemy army is twice as many as ours. Do you have the confidence to fight with me?"

Li Qingzhao's voice echoed in the wasteland, echoed on the military formation, echoed on the fluttering flags and the blade of the spear!
As Li Qingzhao's voice echoed across the wasteland, 25,000 soldiers also shouted: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The warm morning sun has fallen on the wasteland, and the thin warmth prevents the white frost on the dead leaves from melting in time, making the air even more cold.

Under the rain of arrows, the Liao army would definitely panic. Moreover, most of the Liao army were cavalry, and the deafening sound of firearms echoing around would inevitably cause the horses to panic, which would make the panic even more serious!
By then, the Liao army will inevitably be in chaos and unable to form an orderly battle formation.

The last cavalry hid behind the woods in the distance, so that the Liao army arriving here could not see them.

The last fish that slipped through the net can be easily dealt with by the infantry!
……

Ten thousand infantry were placed in the dense forest, five thousand cavalry were placed in the middle, and the crossbowmen and firearms troops were placed at the end!
After the Liao army entered the ambush circle, they first let the infantry encircle the Liao army and completely surrounded the Liao army. Then it was time for the crossbowmen and musketeers to come into play.

"call……"

At this time, after the crossbows and firearms attacked the Liao army, the cavalry could charge directly to kill them!

The Song army ambushing in the dense forest suddenly became vigilant. Li Qingzhao rode on the snow and stood on a huge rock in the dense forest, looking at the scene in the distance.

The sounds coming from the ground became louder and louder, and Li Qingzhao also saw the vague shadow of the enemy army from a distance, which gradually became clearer until the soldiers beside him could see it.

On the wasteland, two dense woods are close to each other, forming a narrow strip in between.

Li Qingzhao prevented his soldiers from walking in the wasteland, so as not to leave traces of pedestrians and arouse the vigilance of the Liao army.

So Li Qingzhao planned to ambush there.

The distance of dozens of miles is neither far nor close, but there is not much time left for Li Qingzhao.

In this wilderness, there are no mountains or rivers as obstacles to meet the enemy.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao's face showed a look of satisfaction, and then he said: "In that case, please follow me to face the enemy!"

However, Li Qingzhao had already asked the scouts to see the terrain in the distance clearly. There were dense forests in front, and an open area was formed between two lush woods. If the Liao army passed here, they would definitely pass through the dense forests.

The entire wasteland fell into a strange silence. However, at this moment, a rhythmic sound suddenly came from the distance. It was the sound of heavy footsteps coming from far away on the earth, and at the same time there was the sound of horse hooves.

The soldiers hidden in the dense forest held long spears or long knives in their hands, and white air spurted out when they breathed. However, the cold outside could not invade their bodies, but they felt excited at this time.

In the silence, you can only hear the howling autumn wind on the wasteland, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, mixed with the sound of rustling dry grass, lonely and desolate.

However, at this moment, faint clouds suddenly filled the sky, and the originally warm morning sun also slowly disappeared, and the entire wasteland quickly became gloomy and gloomy.

"call……"

"call……"

"..."

Li Qingzhao could even hear the tense and heavy breathing of the soldiers beside him. As the Liao army got closer and closer, Li Qingzhao finally saw the situation in the distance clearly.

The enemy troops stretched into the distance and could not be seen to the end. Most of them were cavalry, and they all exuded a fierce look.

Flags are flying and fighting spirit is permeating the air.

The Liao general who was walking at the front of the military formation also vigilantly observed the surrounding situation from time to time. When he saw dense forests on both sides of the front and a narrow strip of grass in the middle, a look of vigilance appeared on his face.

However, he did not order the soldiers and horses behind him to stop advancing. He still maintained the original speed and wanted to pass here slowly.

As the enemy army got closer and closer, the clansmen in Mili could even clearly see the enemy's face and the patterns of the armor worn by the enemy.

Li Qingzhao stared at the Liao general, watching him slowly walk across the grass. However, at this moment, the Liao general seemed to feel Li Qingzhao's gaze and turned his head sharply to look into the dense forest.

At this moment, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but tremble in his heart, worried that the other party would find him.

After staring quietly for a moment, the Liao general made no next move. He seemed to just suspect that there was some movement in the dense forest, but dismissed it, and then slowly withdrew his gaze.

Li Qingzhao breathed a sigh of relief and waited quietly for the enemy troops to pass.

"So many soldiers and horses..."

As time passed, Li Qingzhao finally saw clearly the number of enemy soldiers and horses, and couldn't help but sigh. The number of people observed by the scouts was not much different, also around 50,000.

Of course, there are only a lot more people.

After waiting for a moment, Li Qingzhao took out a blunderbuss from his arms, then slowly raised it and pressed the trigger toward the sky.

"boom--"

A loud noise suddenly sounded in the dense forest, and then flames shot into the sky, and then a dazzling fire suddenly erupted in the dark sky.

The sudden sound immediately flew away the birds that had fallen in the dense forest, and also startled the Liao soldiers and horses marching on the wasteland. For a moment, everyone was frightened, and there were bursts of noise!
"Xilulu——"

"what sound……"

"It came from the dense forest!"

"There is someone in the jungle!"

"There are sparks in the sky!" "It's a firearm!"

"The firearms of the Southern Song people!"

"..."

There were bursts of noise among the soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom, but they were not given much time to react. There were bursts of piercing sounds in the sky, and then a large shadow covered them.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"puff!"

"Pfft!"

"Clang!"

"..."

Arrows rained down from the sky instantly, hitting the soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom, their armor, the grass and rocks, making different sounds of killing!

Following closely were the screams of the Liao soldiers. In an instant, the Liao marching formation was in chaos. The soldiers who reacted quickly raised their shields or swung their swords to cut off the incoming arrows.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

……

However, the rain of arrows from the sky continued to fall, constantly harvesting the lives of the Liao soldiers.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Liao army quickly ordered their troops to flee into the surrounding dense forests, but they did not know that the butcher knife of the god of death was waiting for their arrival.

"kill!"

Suddenly, there were shouts of killing in the dense forest, and the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom who had just escaped into the dense forest were frightened and looked quickly, only to find that there were a large number of soldiers and horses hidden in the dense forest. Seeing this scene, He quickly turned around and ran away again, trying to escape back to the original wilderness.

"Rumble--"

But how could it be that the only ones waiting for them were infantry in the dense forest?
The roar of horse hoofs was heard again in the distance, and the earth seemed to shake. When he heard the roar of horse hoofs in the distance, the Liao general's face suddenly changed again.

Only at this moment did he realize that he had entered the encirclement of Song soldiers and horses!

First, the sky was full of arrows, which disrupted their military formation, making them lose their sense of proportion and unable to gather together to form a resistance force in a short period of time.

Then, they who wanted to escape into the dense forest were driven out by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who had been hiding in the dense forest. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty came to kill them again, not giving them any chance to breathe!
"When did the people of the Song Dynasty have such a sophisticated strategy for arranging troops?!"

"Is this really from Song Dynasty?"

"Is this a person from the Jin Kingdom who came here?"

"..."

The leader of the Liao Kingdom couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamation, and even began to doubt what he saw before his eyes.

The Liao Kingdom fought many times from the Song Dynasty, and he also led troops and horses to fight against the Song Dynasty many times. However, the Song Dynasty led troops to fight rigidly and did not know how to adapt, and the transmission of messages in the army was extremely slow. Every time on the battlefield, Faced with emergencies, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty often become headless flies, not knowing how to deal with them.

After all, he knew that the army of the Song Dynasty was often controlled by some civilian officials. Even on the battlefield, the formation of troops was done by civilian officials.

It is precisely because of this that he once laughed at the Song Dynasty, which was a useless scholar. The Song Dynasty in the south actually let civilian officials take charge of the army, which shows the stupidity of the Song emperor!
This also caused the masses of soldiers and horses to be extremely weak, and the Song Dynasty's army could be defeated with just a slight attack.

But the scene at this moment made it difficult for him to believe that this was a strategy that the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty could possess?
Obviously impossible!
They had also heard about the appearance of the Divine Bird in the Song Dynasty. As for the restructuring of the Divine Bird and the change in the way of commanding the mass army, they had naturally heard about it, but they did not take it seriously.

After all, the Song Dynasty had carried out reforms many times, but the results were all unsuccessful. The Song Dynasty court even suppressed reformers. It seemed that the Song Dynasty did not want to make itself stronger.

Therefore, the Liao court still believed that the so-called divine bird restructuring of the Song Dynasty would fail, and the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were still weak.

Although the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty at this time were just ambushing themselves, after all, "the pearls and jade are first". The Song Dynasty also ambush the soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom, but was it an ambush?
The Song army had just formulated the ambush plan, and the news had already reached the Liao Kingdom. They would also respond accordingly to the Song's plan, and even be able to annihilate the Song ambush army.

But at this time, he had no idea about Song's ambush army, and he didn't even hear the slightest news, which caught him off guard.

"Rumble..."

The horses neighed and the hoofs rumbled. Seeing the Song cavalry rushing towards him quickly, the Liao general seemed to have not recovered from the shock.

After the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty came closer, he came to his senses, and then quickly raised the long knife in his hand to block the spear thrust at him.

"Back off! Back off!"

Then he quickly reined in his horse and retreated, shouting at the same time.

At this time, the Liao soldiers and horses were completely in disarray, and were no longer able to fight against the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses. For the current plan, they could only quickly retreat to a safe place, and then integrate the chaotic soldiers and horses together. After restoring morale, let's fight again with the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses!
However, just as the Liao soldiers and horses were fleeing in all directions, the Song Dynasty infantry hidden in the dense forest slowly came out, completely cutting off the retreat of the Liao soldiers and horses.

Seeing this scene, the leading general of the Liao Kingdom was immediately stunned. He saw the soldiers of the Song Dynasty emerging from the dense forest, and the soldiers and horses he led had completely fallen into the encirclement of the Song army.

Looking at the cavalry of the Song Dynasty galloping around in the wasteland, every time they send out the spear in their hands, they are harvesting the life of a Liao soldier.

There were also soldiers from the Liao Kingdom who fought back and killed a Song Dynasty cavalryman. However, he was killed by another Song Dynasty soldier the next moment and fell into a pool of blood. He was then trampled into a pulp by the hooves of running horses. !

Seeing this, they also knew that there was no way to save the day. The 50,000 soldiers and horses they led actually died at the hands of the Song army. What an irony!
Looking back on the past, the scene at this time was exactly the opposite. Those who cried out in despair should be the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and those who won the victory should be the soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom!
They will get everything from the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, including the baggage of the Song Dynasty army, and they will become the trophies of the Liao soldiers and horses!

……

"kill!"

At this moment, Li Qingzhao was wearing battle armor, holding a gun in his hand, and running across the wasteland in the snow. Every time Li Qingzhao waved the gun in his hand, he would kill an enemy soldier.

Li Qingzhao seemed to have become a killing machine at this time. Hot blood splashed on Tuxue's white mane, and even splashed on Li Qingzhao's armor, face, and hair!
It sets off the land like a hellish Rakshasa, bringing endless killing!
Behind her, there were some cavalrymen who were responsible for protecting Li Qingzhao's safety. Invisibly, Li Qingzhao also gained followers.

As the battlefield became quiet again, Li Qingzhao looked up and saw that only soldiers wearing Song armor were still standing on the wasteland. Fifty thousand Liao soldiers and horses had completely fallen on the wasteland!
