The struggle of the reborn prince

Liu Ji said that he used two small-scale blasts to threaten to bury the former Xiliao army in the ditch alive. Now the generals of the Xiliao army tied up Yelu Hongda, who was still stubborn to the end, and dedicated them to the Song army.Liu Ji immediately took his general flag to surrender to the other two Liao troops who were still trapped in the canyon, and gained the greatest victory at the lowest cost. They found a spacious place to house their weapons and war horses, and reported their victory to the supervising army at the same time.

Zhao Li rewarded the soldiers of the supply detachment for taking down the enemy without bloodshed, and at the same time ordered them not to beat, scold, abuse or kill the prisoners, but to treat them with good food and drink, and to heal the wounded.Liu Ji listened with black lines on his face. He is the chief steward of the Western Expeditionary Army, and he knows how much food he has in his hands. Now he is nervous to eat with [-] mouths, but now he has to entertain them with delicious food. , then you have to take it out of your own mouth!If they lived for ten days and a half a month, there would be no need to fight, and they would be overwhelmed directly.

Zhao Li couldn't hear the complaints from his subordinates about his preferential treatment of the prisoners, so he began to implement his second plan.He concentrated all the troops in his hands except guarding the prisoners to protect the supply detachment, and opened a pair of huge iron tongs, trying to jam the Liao army into the camp.The Song Army's formation is shaped like a bull's head, divided into three lanes: left, middle, and right.The left road is in the south, and the right road is in the north. Using the sand hills on the edge of the Gobi as a cover, they go straight to the Liao army camp from the northeast.

In order to covertly meet the enemy, the Song army hid among the rolling sand dunes during the day and marched quickly at night.This is why the Song Army is always looming in the eyes of the Liao army scouts, and their whereabouts are unpredictable. By dawn, the Song army has already approached the Liao army's camp near Mount Isanna...

The former army sent aid for a day and did not return.No news was sent back, which made Xiao Hanli spend another sleepless night.fourth day.At dawn, scouts reported that a large number of enemy troops were approaching from the northeast, and Xiao Hanli hurriedly climbed a hill in the camp to look north.But first he saw the dust billowing in the east as if a large group of people were marching, so he hurriedly sent a scout to check it out.

The scouts rushed forward after receiving the order. When they approached, they didn't know if they didn't see it, and they were shocked when they saw it.Not only did a brigade of Song Army cavalry come from the north, but also a Song Army infantry ambushed in the dry riverbed in the south.Xiao Hanli hurriedly ordered the whole army to be on alert to meet the enemy, and at the same time sent a partial division to defend south, ordering them to stop the Song Dynasty infantry who wanted to take the rear route, and annihilated them in the river bed.

The scouts and cavalry of the Western Liao Army discovered that it was the Song Army's Middle Route Army and Left Route Army.The left army was originally going to detour to the enemy's flank, and after the center army launched an attack, they raided their flank.Cutting off the escape route of the West Liao army to the southeast, and now their whereabouts have been exposed, they did not wait for the order of the supervising army to act immediately, and took the low embankment on the edge of the river bed as a cover to form a formation to meet the side division of the West Liao army.

At this time, Xiao Hanli discovered that the Song Army's right-hand army was sweeping towards the camp, so he could only send another army to the north to resist in order to protect the safety of the camp.But the former army never returned, and after the division of troops again, the Liao army felt that its strength was stretched, so they could only form a U-shaped defense line outside the camp with its back against Mount Isanna, and the mountain pass formed with Mount Storey became their only external access. Contact channel...

"Shoot people first and shoot horses. Aim at the enemy's horses and shoot!" Commander Chen Feng of the First Brigade of the Left Army was the first to engage the enemy.

"Controlling, is it wrong to do this?" Guan Qi, a colleague of the first brigade, asked with a frown.Step against cavalry, especially when the infantry is on the defensive in offensive and defensive warfare.After the cavalry enters the range of the musket, it only takes a dozen breaths to rush forward.However, the Bu Yi Brigade rushed to the battle and had no time to build fortifications, let alone artillery support, so the war horses on the short embankment could jump over it.Once the enemy cavalry breaks through the fire net, the unlucky one must be the infantry.But the control also requires only fighting horses, which is a bit difficult!

"The troops are arranged in echelons. The machine gun positions are arranged on the two wings to form crossfire. The first round of firepower must be fierce!" Chen Feng didn't know the consequences of doing so, but he also had a military order. In this battle, the enemy must be defeated by power, not by killing.Fighting on the battlefield between the two armies is life and death. This order of the supervising army is indeed a bit outrageous, but Chen Feng knows that there must be a reason for the supervising army asking him to do this, and he believes that his troops can do it too.

The officers of the First Step Brigade were all from the original Zhongyong Army and the Krupp Army, and most of the grassroots backbone forces had participated in the battles to recover Yanjing and Dading.Furthermore, this was the first time they fought the Western Liao army head-on. They didn't know how the Song army fought, and they would panic if they were suddenly hit by firearms. Therefore, Chen Feng was confident in completing this task.

Chen Feng's order was quickly conveyed. Although some people inevitably questioned this strange order, there was no room for bargaining in the military order, and the order was strictly carried out by all ministries.They quickly built a fortification in front of the dike. Due to time and conditions, it was only a trench mainly connected with foxholes, and the key parts were only reinforced with sandbags, thus forming two lines of defense...

The Xiliao army attacking the first brigade was composed of two thousand-man teams led by a lieutenant general. He was very curious to see the crude position of the Song army and found it ridiculous.These people did not line up, but lined up along the river embankment, forming two thin lines of defense.Although Song Jun dug a ditch, the ditch was narrow and shallow and couldn't stop the horses. What's even more ridiculous is that Song Jun actually hid in the ditch. Did they think they were radishes? Grow it back!

The Song Army's loose and thin line of defense, and being close to the river bank, is simply a desperate situation. Once they fail, they have nowhere to run.This made the deputy general of the Xiliao army who led the army think that he could completely defeat them with a single charge, so he boldly launched an attack, and he did not forget to remind everyone to step on the brakes when charging, so as not to fall into the ditch too hard Go in and let the Song people see the joke.

Facing the rapidly approaching enemy army, Chen Feng estimated the distance between the two armies, and grasped the timing of firing. If it was too far away, it would be a waste of ammunition; if it was too close, the time left for his side was too short. Break through the line of defense.He knew that the reason why the cavalry was powerful was the powerful impact force. In order to maintain the physical strength of the horse, the cavalry would not gallop the horse at the beginning, but would accelerate gradually.Start to change from jogging to fast running outside the place of two arrows. After entering the range of the bow and arrow, the speed of the horse will be raised to the fastest, so as to complete the final sprint.

"Fire!" When the Liao Army was still three hundred steps away from the Song Army's position, Chen Feng gave the order to shoot. This distance was within the effective range of the Liaojun Spear, and the Liao Army's horses were just about to switch to a fast gallop. Starting to block shooting at the right time can effectively prevent the enemy from increasing its speed and reduce the final impact.

'Da da……'

"Bang, bang..." After the shooting order, the Song army in the first defensive position immediately started shooting. Originally, the target of the horse was hit by someone, and the probability of being shot was high, but now the Shangguan ordered 'shoot the horse first' , So everyone aimed at the next three-way shot.

The soldiers of the Xiliao army were slamming on the belly of the horse to increase the speed of the horse, preparing to complete the final sprint before approaching the enemy, but suddenly there was a flash of fire on the side of the Song army's position, and there was a burst of "cracking".The war horses of the Song army needed to undergo rigorous training to adapt to the sound of guns and guns, and these foreign counterparts were immediately shocked when they had never seen such a battle before.One by one, their eyes were bright, their manes were raised, and their tails were raised high. They jumped up and down like crazy and didn't want to do it. Of course, many of them were relieved quickly.

And the owners of the war horses were not much better, they could only see the starry lights and smoke rising in front of them, and there were continuous explosions in their ears, and there was an unknown sound of piercing the sky.What I felt the most was of course that the horses under the crotch suddenly burst out one or several blood flowers as they ran, and they fell to the ground. Of course, they also turned somersaults and flew out. It's just broken bones and tendons, and what's worse is being pinned down by the downed horse and unable to move. Whether you can survive depends on where the horse's hoof of the companion behind falls!

The soldiers of the Xiliao Army who were charging saw their companions in front of them turn their backs one by one. They didn't know, but they also knew that they were plotted by the Song Army. They tried their best to slow down and avoid the fire-breathing pipes of the Song Army, but they didn't want to It is not easy to stop immediately, and it is difficult to follow along.When the people behind realized that something was wrong and finally reined in their horses, they found that there were lying horses in front of them, and most of the companions who had fallen from the horses had become infantry, and they were running back with panicked faces!

The lieutenant-general who led the army looked at the distressed men in front of him, saw the tragic situation on the battlefield, and felt chills in his heart, knowing that he had encountered the legendary "artifact" possessed by the Song army, and the invincible Jurchen was defeated by it.Gathering up the team again, he found that the horses suffered heavy losses in this defeat, but the loss of personnel was not great. He understood that Song Jun's men were merciful and let them go this time.Thinking about how a horse in armor could be killed, how could a person stop it? As for why, he couldn't tell, but it would be more difficult for those frightened subordinates to start another battle.

"Listen, brothers of the Liao Kingdom, God has the virtue of good life. My emperor doesn't want to be an enemy of your country, so he is merciful. But if you don't listen to the advice, don't blame our army for being rude!" Yes, Song Jun passed the message.

The generals of the Liao army stared blankly at the Song army's position. It was as calm as it was at the beginning. Who would have thought that there was a murderous intent hidden in it. At this moment, they felt like an impenetrable iron wall, and what they would bring to them would be corpses all over the place. , blood flowed like a river... (to be continued...)
