Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 303 The Joy Is Not Over (4)

"His 'grandmother'." Jian Cheng gritted his teeth and watched the one-sided massacre on the battlefield ahead, took the horse from the victory hook, and 'inserted' it hard on the mud.Du Chuijiao sighed: "Be good." He 'licked' his lips and put his right hand on the handle of the knife casually.The sergeants focused their attention on the course of the battle, while the guards showed more and more fear on the ground.

It wasn't until after the [-] signing army completely collapsed that the white-armored cavalry began to rush into the crowd of fleeing signing soldiers like tigers into a flock of signing soldiers. , When they returned, the armor of the soldiers and horses had been dyed red all over.Looking at it is thrilling.

The Liao soldiers seemed to be only demonstrating, and did not take advantage of the defeat of the signing army to attack the Jin army.Wanyan Digu Nai ordered the former army to shoot arrows at the defeated soldiers, so as not to make them "disrupt" the formation, and let the signing army know the fate of defeat.Arrows rained like rain in front of the formation, and the signing army wailed, and was shot to death and injured countless by the golden soldiers.

"The former army ordered us to bombard the defeated soldiers."

Zhao Xingde's face darkened, and he shouted in a low voice: "Listen to my order, no one is allowed to fire." Han Ningshuang's eyes froze, and she didn't speak.At this time, the other artillery fortresses of the Kingdom of Jin in the back formation had already fired bombardingly. Huge stone bombs fell among the defeated soldiers, and ghosts and wolves were howling everywhere. Deputy soldiers had already been deployed there to intercept the fleeing signers, and the defeated signers had to cut off one ear as punishment.

The Khitan cavalry retreated very quickly, Wanyan Digunai looked around, Tie Futu was all heavy armored cavalry, they couldn't catch up, but the kidnapper horse could hardly beat the enemy, he hesitated for a moment, but actually looked at the two The Qiangong tent cavalry retreated. For a while, the cheers of the Liao army were loud and the morale was boosted. After a while, it seemed that Yelu Dashi rewarded the victorious generals, and the cheers rose again, even more than before.

Wanyan Aguda's face was covered with a cloud, and he thought to himself, this Yelu Dashi is indeed a formidable opponent.Seeing that the Jin soldiers used the lottery army to test the truth, they simply used their tricks, and used the strongest palace tent army to fight to establish their prestige. Although this battle did not harm the Jin soldiers themselves, the morale of the Liao and Jin armies was affected. up.

The battle drums were beaten in the rear, and the emperor's banner was waved back and forth.Seeing this, Wanyan Digu Nai didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the front army to drive away the signing army. Ten thousand cavalry formed a circular formation to attack first. With spears, the cavalry behind only wore soft armor and held bows and arrows.The [-] cavalry in the back formed another circular formation, which was stacked with the front formation.The golden soldiers approached the enemy slowly, and they were still seventy or eighty steps away. The arrow feathers cast by the opposite side had already fallen densely into the Jurchen army. From time to time, some golden soldiers fell from their horses, but for some reason, all the golden soldiers shot with one arrow. If they didn't return it, they didn't return until they were within fifty paces of the Liao soldiers, when they suddenly released arrows from behind, and only heard the sound of "bang", all the arrows were fired at once, and the Khitan cavalry in front were immediately 'shot' all over the place, even a little bit. Chaos broke out, and when Tie Futu was about to charge, the Liao cavalry suddenly spread out to both sides. Two hundred paces away, a row of iron barrel cannons with black muzzles were already aimed at the front.

It's not that Jin Bing didn't know the iron barrel cannon, and he was a little flustered. The iron pagodas in the front line were all elites, and the officers in charge suppressed their panic. Several of them shouted in Jurchen words: "Charge!" "Charge forward!" Almost at the same time, thousands of cavalry were urging their horses desperately, trying to get closer before the Liao army fired.Even if some Meng'an Muke wanted to disperse to both sides, they had to move forward in this situation. What's more, when the Khitan cavalry dispersed to both sides, there were also cavalry mobilized from behind, firing arrows together, On the two wings, the golden soldiers are squeezed.

"charge!"

"fire!"

One side is the distance of two hundred steps, and the other side is the length of the gunpowder primer burning, the ending is already doomed.Just before the charge of Jin Bing's horses started a few steps, "Boom!" "Boom!" The master kicked and ran in a controlled manner.What's even more frightening is that in the black smoke, countless small iron bullets flew out, with huge penetrating power, whizzing towards them, hitting the body of the horse, hitting the armor of the cavalry, and some of them penetrated , even if it didn't penetrate, it seemed that someone brandished a big stick and beat the cavalry who was charging with all their strength, and suddenly a large number of cavalry from the Kingdom of Jin fell off their horses.

"The Liao army actually used shotgun!" Zhao Xingde was secretly surprised, he had been observing the front battle with binoculars.Jin Guotie Futu's reputation is so great, and he suffered such a big loss. Han Ningshuang's complexion was also a little pale, and she subconsciously looked at the army in the rear.

The tens of thousands of gold soldiers in the rear were all cheering loudly for the central army in the front, but now they all fell silent. Only the drummer was still beating the war drum, which stopped in people's ears, but it seemed to be in a hurry.The Jurchen battle method is the most used by the Jin army. In the middle of the rear formation, the generals of the Jin army have a faint look of fear on their faces.

Wanyan Agu saw that the most elite warriors of Jurchen were massacred by the Liao Kingdom, his face was ashen, and he felt a faint pain in his chest. He was silent for a moment, finally held back, and said with difficulty: "Knock the gong, knock the gong , Let the warriors retreat first."

The sun and moon flag, which symbolizes the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, was 'inserted' behind the artillery array. Yelu Dashi didn't need a telescope to see the scene of the golden soldiers turning their backs on their backs, and the blood and flesh were flying everywhere. The 'swarm of bees' presented by Chai Yi is indeed a military weapon, and it will be very popular in the future to attack the Song Dynasty." The tone seemed quite relaxed.

Less than three miles away from Shenzhou City, there is a place called Luzigou. Thousands of Khitan cavalry have gathered again. Unlike the Shenzhou defenders last time, these cavalry are all painted white. The palace account army.Because of the lesson learned from being smashed by the scouts of the Han army last time, even after a series of killings, the hundreds of miles around Luezigou have long been devoid of human habitation, and the palace tent army did not dare to relax at all.On every hill there are watchful eyes.

"Does it really lead to the city of Shenzhou?" Yelubo, the general on duty, looked at the deep hole, shook his head vigorously, and secretly said, "What His Majesty Dashi said, how can there be a lie? Even if it leads to the city of Liaoyang, there are What's so strange?" Around him, there were officers of the palace tent army, all of them stretched their heads to look at the entrance of the cave.

Yelu Dashi selected elites from various departments of the Liao army, and won 20 palace tent troops.This time, in order to cut off the retreat of the Jin soldiers, they sent [-] people to follow Xiao Chala'a to attack Shenzhou.There are five thousand palace tent troops guarding Shangjing.Of the [-] Liao troops fighting the main force of the Kingdom of Jin, the Palace Tent Army was only [-].

The capture of Shenzhou is a matter of great importance, the place is in charge of the prison, and the commander of the battalion in the northeast, Xiao Chala, did not dare to specialize. According to the arrangement made by Yelu Dashi, the [-] palace tent cavalry and the [-] northern courtyard cavalry were placed On the four sides of Shenzhou, the Jin soldiers were "confusing" and could not tell which city wall the Liao soldiers were going to attack.Because the Liao army is all cavalry, as long as the palace tent army entering the city through the secret passage opens a gap, it can quickly concentrate on one aspect and capture Shenzhou.

The forces of the Liao army were scattered in all directions, there were [-] golden soldiers left behind in Shenzhou, they could have been defeated one by one, even if they couldn't inflict serious damage, they would have to dampen the enemy's morale.However, the third Bo Jilie Wanyan Pujia slave who was in charge of Shenzhou was worried that he would fall into the trick of the Liao Kingdom to lure the enemy, and he could not afford to lose in Shenzhou. If the Liao army did not come to attack, he would just focus on defending the city.

"These Khitan cavalry stayed outside the city. They fought and did not fight, and they did not attack. What do they mean?" Wanyan Pu's servant looked at the appearance of the Liao army from the top of the city, feeling uneasy.

The Liao soldiers did not surround Shenzhou to death, and the Jin army did not know how to stop them entering and leaving Shenzhou City.Between Shenzhou and Liaoyang, there are many scouts of the Jin army.If the Liao army really planned to go straight to Liaoyang instead of attacking Shenzhou, Wanyan Pu's slaves would definitely give them a heavy blow from behind, and teach these Liao dogs what it means to be angry at both ends of a mouse in a bellows.

Finally, a ray of fire came from the secret passage in the roe deer ditch. The deputy on duty, Xiao Ping, poked his head out, looked at Yelubo, and said in a low voice, "It's the same as the figure given by His Majesty, we have opened the vent. . " Although his face was covered with dust, he couldn't hide the look of surprise.

"Okay!" Yelubo was full of excitement, and immediately ordered: "Leave five hundred riders outside to guard, and the others will go down immediately, break through Shenzhou, and cut off the gold thief's retreat, today!" After speaking, light the torch first , bent down and went down the secret passage.The palace tent troops got off their horses one after another and followed inside.

Just as Yelubo walked a few steps in, he felt that it was dark in front of him, only the fire was shining brightly on the surrounding area, and he heard the whistling of the wind, it was that the air vents along the way had been opened by Xiao Ping, and the fresh air was not coming. Keep blowing into this long dark passage.This was the result of two years of hard work by [-] slaves. After the work was completed, they were executed near the exit of the secret passage.The scene of the execution of the clinker was discovered by the scouts of the Han army, which caused a lot of trouble.Although neither the Jin Bing nor the Han Army finally discovered the secret of this secret passage.But Yelu Dilie, the guard of Shenzhou, still felt deeply guilty, and finally died with the city.All the Khitan soldiers who supervised the construction of the secret tunnel were also killed in the battle of Shenzhou.

The further you go, the thicker the logs are used to support the dark passage, and occasionally you can see the air vent of the round hole, and you don't know where it leads. Be careful where you step!"

Yeluping was startled, slowed down his pace, and walked a hundred steps forward, and came to a place where he suddenly saw a huge dark room, which could gather more than four or five hundred soldiers.On one side wall of the dark room, there is another hole in a secret passage leading to the east wall not far away. If it falls, the city wall will collapse immediately.
