The struggle of the reborn prince

At this moment, the Xiliao army who blocked the invading enemy from the south felt like they had narrowly escaped death, and more of it was a kind of gratitude mixed with shame. It was the enemy's mercy that allowed them to survive.This strange psychology caused their morale to plummet, and of course they also lost the courage to turn around and fight again.It just so happened that the second infantry brigade, attacking from the north at this moment, bypassed Isanna Mountain with a feint shot and made a detour to the mountain pass between the Storey Mountains. Flank.

The cavalry looks majestic, but in fact, once trapped in the siege of the infantry, they cannot exert their powerful impact, and getting into a melee is even more of a nightmare.Now the Liao army, which is blocking the southern criminals, is under the pincer attack of two Song armies, and there is very little room for maneuver, and they cannot use their strengths at all, let alone they still have frightening firearms in their hands, so they don't answer, and they are depressed , Drowsy took the opportunity to return to the camp.

Since he failed to defeat the Song army who appeared on the right wing, and the road at the mountain pass was captured again, Xiao Hanli found himself in a bad situation.Two infantry groups of the Song Army appeared on the south side of the camp, repelling their own blocking troops and blocking the road going south; on the east side was the main force of the Song Army, and an estimated [-] tribal cavalry were pressing towards the camp. It is the main force of the Song Army; to the west is Isanna Mountain, which my camp relies on. At the beginning, I chose this camp because of the steep terrain on the back of the mountain, making it difficult for people and horses to move, which can prevent the Song Army from sneaking from behind, but now it has become Overcome the obstacle to his westward journey.

Now the Song army that appeared in the north has detoured to the west, and there has become the only direction where there are no enemy troops.But the north is already on the edge of the desert, and there are few people in it. If you break through to the north, you must abandon the camp.The supplies and supplies of the Liao army were hoarded here, which made it difficult for Xiao Hanli to give up.And he thought that the Song army's deployment of troops was the "encirclement of three Jueyi" adopted by the Song army.To lure myself to break out to the north, but without food and grass, it cannot be replenished.Under the pursuit of the Song army, he could not persist for a few days, and he would starve to death if he was not beaten to death.Especially the sandy mountains over there are full of ambush soldiers, maybe it's a trap waiting to be drilled into it.

When things got to this point, Xiao Hanli knew that he had been tricked by Song Jun, but he didn't want to let it go.Although he was besieged, he could occupy Mount Isanna, condescending to advance and retreat or defend.Moreover, given the cunning with Song Jun several times, he did not believe that Song Jun, who had low combat effectiveness, could swallow him in one gulp.It's just relying on the bluff of a large number of people.

And Xiao Han still has another thought, that is, the former army who has no news for a day and a night.Judging from the current situation, it should be that the Song army knew that it was difficult to defeat the Liao army, so they used the search team as a bait to force themselves to divide their troops, and then they concentrated their forces to seize the camp when the camp was empty.Xiao Han admitted that he was a wise man, but he knew that Yelu Hongda, the former commander of the army, was not an idiot. He would definitely turn around and return to the camp quickly after he found out that he had been tricked.

As for saying that the former army was completely wiped out by the Song army, Xiao Hanli didn't believe it at all. Now his camp has less than 2 horses.The Song army dispatched all capable soldiers.There were less than 1 former soldiers, and the main force of the Song army was transferred to attack the camp. What would they use to eat up the more than [-] former soldiers.Furthermore, if you want to wipe out all the former soldiers without even leaving a report, it is possible no matter what you think.Therefore, he concluded that the former army was just being led away by the trick of "luting the enemy", and they would naturally come back when they found out that the situation was wrong.

Based on the above considerations, Xiao Han made a plan to stick to the camp.The decision to attack at the right time and annihilate the Song army.He believed that he could hold the big camp, and as long as he transported his troops properly, he could completely defeat the Song army.As for facing the situation of being outnumbered.He also took it for granted that since the day when the Western Liao Army broke away from the Yelu Yanxi regime and embarked on the road to independent nation building, almost every battle was won by fewer troops and swept the entire Western Regions, laying the foundation for today's war. dominance.

Facing the Song Army that was pressing forward step by step, Xiao Hanli couldn't watch his defense depth being compressed step by step. He thought that the Song Army cavalry army in the east was the biggest threat to him, and as long as he defeated them, he would be able to stabilize himself. Therefore, he arranged the main force of the battalion on the east side, with the south and north as the two wings, and only a small number of troops monitored it.

At this moment, the Song army had discovered that the Liao army was forming a defensive formation, and stopped at a distance of three arrows from them.Xiao Hanli knew that this time was the most vulnerable and chaotic time for an army, and the Song army lacked infantry and only had a small number of rangers cruising in front of the formation as a protection. , making it difficult to hold the ground, and then send the army into several waves to continuously attack, shake the formation, until the formation is broken and defeated.

After receiving the order, the three thousand Western Liao troops poured down from the high ground. The horses took advantage of the terrain, and the men took advantage of the horse's power. They quickly picked up and rushed towards the Song army's formation with unstoppable power.Most of the Xiliao soldiers were Tuque people who came from nomadic peoples. They were proficient in bows and horses. Under the command of horns and whistles, they constantly adjusted their formations during the movement. Down to attack the middle army of the Song army.Although they were not as rigorous and orderly as the Song Army's Dragon Knights and Hussars charged into the formation, they still had an invincible momentum!

Xiao Hanli went into battle on the high ground, and the situation on the battlefield was clear at a glance. Facing the sudden onslaught of the Western Liao Army, the Rangers of the Song Army who were guarding in front of the battle knew that they were no match at all. Retreat to the two wings and use bows and arrows to turn around and shoot to harass, not daring to fight head-on, but this kind of blocking is tantamount to scratching the itch, and it has little effect on the Western Liao army charging.

After the Song Army received a warning and discovered the attack of the Xiliao Army, the brigade that was forming was also in a commotion, and they retreated backwards and on both wings.Seeing this scene, Xiao Hanli secretly rejoiced. Those tribal armies were indeed not of the same mind with the Song army, but they were coveting the rewards of the Song Dynasty or had to send troops to fight under the threat of the Song Dynasty. Now when the critical moment comes, they want to protect themselves. How can such a mob resist their own cavalry.

The distance between the two armies was rapidly approaching. The Xiliao cavalry already knew that their cavalry bows were inferior to those of the Song army, and it was difficult for them to take advantage of the confrontation. They rushed to fight, so they kept whipping the horses with the backs of their swords in order to increase the speed of the horses to the fastest and generate the greatest impact. At that time, the scimitar in their hands could cut off the enemy's head with just one stroke.

But things don't seem to be that simple. Xiao Hanli looked at the cavalry of the Song Army who retreated one after another, revealing the authentic Song Dynasty imperial army. There was a row of iron carts in front of the formation. Could it be that they used the formation of carts to block the impact of the iron cavalry? ?Before he could figure it out, the answer was already there. There was a flash of flames in front of the iron car, and there was a muffled thunderous sound. The horse under his crotch felt uneasy from such a long distance, snorting and kicking the ground non-stop. Looked very agitated.

"Not good..." Xiao Hanli immediately thought of the legendary "Sound Shocking Ten Miles, Invincible" artifact possessed by the Song Army. As soon as he called out, he saw chaos among his charging cavalry, and some generals fell off their horses.But this was just the beginning, the sound of explosions continued, and gradually became a sound. The large impact surface was shrouded in smoke, and the front line was already in chaos, and people turned their backs on their backs and screamed incessantly.

"Order the second wave to stop charging immediately and meet the front team!" Xiao Han ordered urgently.

Seeing that the first wave of cavalry charging ahead was suddenly stopped by the enemy's artillery fire, they knocked down a piece of horse barrier made of flesh and blood, and the people behind couldn't stop at all. Catch up with the Arhats.Some were clever enough to dodge in time, but they couldn't dodge round after round of artillery fire, and couldn't continue to charge forward at all.In fact, the root cause was the sudden loud noise that frightened the horse out of control, and the man was stunned by the sudden blow and mishandled, and was kidnapped by the horse and died.At this time, the second wave of cavalry, who were preparing to expand their victories, had already set off, and they were warming up their fires to move forward slowly. The horn made the striker retreat quickly.

They wanted to withdraw, but the Song army refused to agree. The artillery moved slowly and it was difficult to catch up, and the effect of the enemy's shelling was greatly reduced once the enemy dispersed.The tribal cavalry troops who had retreated to the two wings immediately surrounded them, chasing and firing arrows. Many escaped the artillery fire but did not escape the flying arrows. The overly frightened Liao army just ran back without looking back.It wasn't until the Liao army who was in charge of the response arrived in the oblique stab that the Song army's pursuit ended and retreated to the main formation angrily.

"Your Majesty, the Song Army's artifacts are so sharp that the people in the middle are all broken, and the armor can't resist them at all. The sound is like thunder, and the horses are frightened and difficult to control. It is really impossible to continue to charge..." The captain who led the charge knelt in Xiao Hanli Weeping in front of the assassin, his thousand-man team rushed to the front and suffered the most losses. Less than [-]% of them returned to the camp, which was obviously useless.

"Get up and go to the back camp to treat the wounded. We did not expect the enemy to have such a killer weapon. It is not your fault!" Xiao Han said with a sigh as he looked at his subordinates who were still in shock and bleeding from their ears and nose.

"Thank you, my lord, if the Song army fights again with a magic weapon, we will be hard to stop it, we should make plans early!" The commander stood up and saluted.

"Don't talk nonsense, disturb our army's morale, and want your head!" Xiao Han said with a sullen face after hearing this, and shouted back this courageous subordinate, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with Song Jun's artifact for a while. It's a mess.

"My lord, the Song army sent another letter, claiming that the former army had surrendered and all of them were captured. Let us make a decision early on whether it is war or peace!" Just when he was very troubled, someone sent a letter saying... To be continued..)
