Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 338 Affecting the Account (3)

"Come on!" Gao Bolong roared, and mounted the spear with his right hand.Behind him, countless cavalrymen of the Han army had already sat on their horses, whipped their horses and rushed out.Strands of cavalry surged out of the darkness, and the sea that had been frozen to death seemed to suddenly raise a huge wave. With an indomitable force, the furious tide of the cavalry rushed straight towards the Liao army camp .

The iron hooves trampled through the silence of dawn, and the ground trembled, "Enemy attack!" The Liao army on duty widened their eyes in disbelief, the sound of horns suddenly resounded through the night sky, and countless Liao soldiers grabbed their weapons like headless flies In the big camp, 'ran' rush'ran'walk.

Flocks of crows living in the woods were startled by the sound of horses' hooves and flew into the air.Groups of crows croaking and fluttering their wings are almost as loud as the sound of horseshoes. Thousands of crows are circling in the dark sky, and even Nanshan City, which is several miles away, can be seen clearly. .

"General Gao has started attacking the Liao camp!" Tong Yunjie patted the battlements.All the generals of the Han army had expressions of excitement on their faces.

Zhao Xingde shouted: "Beat the drum! Fire the cannon! Cheer for General Gao!"

The Han army had already moved dozens of big drums to the top of Nanshan City. Hundreds of drummers were bare-chested and rounded the thick drumsticks with both hands. Urgent, the sound seems to be knocking on people's hearts, and the sound of horns that are high and low at times makes people's blood boil!

The infantry formed a wide-faced formation with flags waving below Nanshan City, and 2 people shouted in unison: "Kill—" "Kill—" "Kill!" The earth-shattering shouts of killing spread far away.Behind Nanshan City, Ma Rui led a thousand cavalry. Hearing the sound of cannons, he began to urge the horses to gallop with all their strength. The back is generally ready to go.

Han Ningshuang stared into the distance, "General Gao, I can only help you like this!" She said silently, her eyes were as cold as autumn water.

On the north side of the Liao army camp, the cavalry led by Gao Bolong easily broke through the fence of the Liao army's rear formation, and panicked Liao army infantry were running around at a loss.Gao Bolong didn't get entangled with these headless flies. He pointed his spear at the wide road in front of him and said loudly, "Follow me!" With his legs clamped around the horse's belly, the horse neighed, spread its hooves, and followed the road in front of it. Mercedes up.

This road is the road for the Liao army's grain team to enter the grain and grass camp, so it is extremely flat and wide. The ten thousand cavalry did not delay at all, and they pushed the horses to the extreme speed. A small number of cavalrymen of the Han army who were determined to die acted as suspicious soldiers. They yelled loudly and lit fire around with torches in their hands. For a while, thick smoke rose everywhere behind the Liao army camp.

In the big camp, Xi Jun's infantry and artillery battalions are in the left and front troops.And stationed in the rear, there are not only the Wujing Army guarding the baggage, but also the cavalry who have been preparing to attack the rear of Nanshan City.The civilian husbands who transported grain and grass built grass sheds to shelter from the wind by the Liao army's camp, making the camp in the rear even more chaotic.

Suddenly encountered a sneak attack by the Han army, the first to flee were tens of thousands of peasants who delivered food. Although these people were unarmed, they were very familiar with the reality of the formation. The road was open, and there was a gap in the fence of the camp. It's all clear.The civilian husband ran for his life with loud clamor, and soon the other Liao troops that he led began to collapse.As for the cavalry of the Liao army stationed in the rear, some were also retreated by the turbulent flow of people, and some gathered hastily, but were overwhelmed by the cavalry of the Han army in the brigade.The army was defeated like a mountain, and nearly [-] Liao troops were stationed in the entire rear formation. They hardly made any effective resistance and fled around like headless chickens.The defeated soldiers full of terror fled into the camps of other Liao troops, and tried their best to exaggerate the momentum of the Han cavalry.

"What's going on!" Yelu Yanshan ran out of the Chinese army's tent with his helmet tilted.Because things started in a hurry, he casually wrapped himself in a brocade robe and an iron armor, and immediately got on his horse when he got out of the tent, drew out his scimitar, looked around, and saw Liao soldiers running around everywhere. , the entire camp was in chaos, and there was nowhere to see an enemy.Yelu Yanshan grabbed a general and asked, "What's going on?"

The man stammered: "The last general doesn't know, it seems to be a sneak attack by the enemy!"

"Where did you come from?" Yelu Yanshan asked with his eyes wide open.

"The last general, the last general doesn't know." The general seemed to be a little dazed by the power of Yelu Yanshan, and he became incoherent.

"Then what are you doing running around! Waste!" Yelu Yanshan scolded, let go of her, and shouted loudly: "Don't run, stick to the camp!" Seeing Dutong, the generals and soldiers of the Liao army gathered around Around him, there were already hundreds of cavalry in full armor in a short time. In the panic-stricken Chinese army camp, these cavalry generals were like pins and needles that stabilized the sea. Outside the camp, the situation immediately stabilized.

The rear army was raided by the enemy cavalry, but the left army and the friendly army also found the enemy. In front of the camp, the artillery at the head of Nanshan City was fired.For a while, Yelu Yanshan had no way of judging the true intentions of the Han army, so he had to strictly order all the ministries to stick to their positions.

"Have you seen whose banner it is?"

"Zhao is Zhao De!" The Liao army who came to report the letter said so, but Yelu Yanshan felt relieved.He had fought with Zhao De for more than a month, and he knew a little about this person. Although he was persevering and resourceful, he was not the kind of fierce fighter who would be ten 'thorough'. "Zhao De's temperament is to seek victory in a steady state, and it is absolutely impossible to throw a large army in a sneak attack from behind. The superiority of the [-] Liao army cannot be shaken. The Han army's attack on the camp is still The plan of attacking as defense only has the power of 'harassment', and it does not have the strength to defeat our army in one fell swoop. At a high level, the Han cavalry is only three or four thousand." Yelu Yanshan pondered.Perhaps after the Han army rushed to the side with surprise soldiers, the heavy soldiers were still waiting to move in front.He immediately assigned a military order, and he personally took charge of the central army. The general on duty, Yeluyin, led the five thousand palace tent troops to drive out the Han army cavalry in the camp.

However, before the military order of the Chinese army was sent out, the cavalry of the Han army had rushed to the front of the supply camp along the gap between the Liao army's barracks.The cavalry of the brigade began to shoot rockets around the Liao army's food, grass, and supplies. There were even Han cavalry who were not afraid of death. Throw it in.Originally, in order to prevent the enemy's fire attack, the top of the army's grain and grass was coated with a layer of wet mud.However, because a large number of grain and grass arrived recently, it was too late to follow the rules, and they were randomly piled up in the camp, and the fire soon burned blazingly.The Liao army in the battalion had to fight the fire while coping with the enemy's siege.

However, compared with the Liao army, the cavalry of the Han army is still too small. Once they stop in one place for a long time, they are in danger of being surrounded by the cavalry of the Liao army.After the Liao army experienced the initial panic, the effect of the Han army's sneak attack was weakening a little bit. Many Han army and Jurchen cavalry had been entangled and strangled with the Liao army cavalry who went to aid the Liao army.While the fire was burning, cavalrymen continued to fall from their horses.Therefore, seeing the fire spread, Gao Bolong led the Han cavalry to gallop again.

The main gate of the Liao army's camp had just been opened, and before the more than [-] palace tent troops had rushed out, the Han army cavalry had already rushed forward.Before the Liao army had time to react, the two cavalry collided.In the darkness, the scimitar and the spearhead were reflected blood red by the flames. Apart from that, everything seemed to be faintly visible. Countless war horses passed by, and from time to time someone screamed and fell off the horse.The enemy army unexpectedly entered the camp of the Chinese army, and the cavalry of the Liao army on the periphery rushed up to fight.The rushing cavalry wielded spears and scimitars, interweaving battle groups ranging in size from dozens to hundreds of people. The two sides gritted their teeth and refused to give up.

"General Gao, is it time to retreat?" the guard asked loudly from behind.

"Kill!" Gao Bolong's eyes were already red, "Come forward!" He had already lost his riding spear, and he swung his saber with all his strength. In this storm-like offensive, he seemed to go crazy , turning his head sideways, the icy spear seemed to be slashing across his face, and then he slashed horizontally, and the Liao general who was rushing towards him suddenly lost his head, blood was sprayed all over Gao Bolong's body, and when he opened his eyes again, The entire dark battlefield seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of blood.

"Bo Jilie, the Han people are crazy, if this continues, we will not be able to leave, and everyone will be ruined!" Mo Keshuhu shouted loudly.Jin Junzhong claimed that "it can't be counted as a cavalry if you can't rush back and forth ten times", but the cavalry of the Liao army around them killed more and more, and the arms of the Jurchen cavalry began to tingle, and many people were stabbed off their horses by the Liao army.

Wan Yanci was nearly sixty years old, but his vision was as sharp as that of a mature man.He stared fiercely at the tents of the Liao army's camp. The commander-in-chief flag was erected in the camp, and a general of the Liao army was surrounded like stars holding the moon.

"Kill over!" Wan Yanci raised his scimitar and pointed forward, shouting loudly: "Rush over, kill Yelu Yanshan!" The group of Meng'an Mouke who followed him were all loyal confidants who had been fighting for many years. Without hesitation, Ling yelled their respective orders loudly, and a group of Jurchen cavalry gathered, forming a forward force on the scattered battlefield, slashing with spears, bayonets and knives, struggling to charge forward.The thousand or so cavalry led by the general on duty, Yeluyin, couldn't resist and were forced to retreat steadily.

"I've been fooled!" Yelu Yanshan stared at the enemy soldiers rushing towards him. At the critical moment, what they yelled was Jurchen barbarians, "These damned are Jurchen barbarians!" Yelu Yanshan pushed them away. The general next to him shouted "Master Dutong go first", he drew out his scimitar and shouted loudly: "The Chinese army must not retreat, rush forward and kill these barbarians!"
