Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 400 The Fate of the Country Hanging Geshu (4)

"It is said that the people of the Southern Dynasty are weak, so why are they being beaten and retreated?" Xiao Tachi sneered. He waved his horsewhip and ordered the two-winged cavalry to copy the Song army in front.The Hedong army captured the artillery fortress, and the Xi army and the Jurchen army retreated steadily. Tens of thousands of heavily armored infantry crowded together to fight, and the formation of the charging Song army was chaotic, pulling away from the slowly moving Chinese army. some distance.At this time, if the ranger is used to plagiarize and cut off the connection between the Song army's front line and the Chinese army, it may be able to defeat the Song army.

The Khitan cavalry is best at this kind of tactics of copying and partitioning.Immediately, more than ten thousand cavalry galloped out, the sound of "Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" The gap between the armies.Song Guo's infantry formation moved slowly, and it was too late to push up at this time.

"Pretend to be smart." Yang Yanqing sneered, and said in a deep voice, "The left-handed horse entangles the enemy cavalry, and the Chinese army presses down."

Sooner or later, the Song army's left-wing kidnappers rushed out more than [-] horsemen, and they were divided into three waves to meet the Khitan cavalry. The war horses that had lost their owners ran wildly. Under the interception of the cavalry of the Song Army, the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom had no choice but to slow down.The Liao army's approach slowed down, and the Song army's infantry moved forward at a faster pace, not only filling the gap between the front troops, but also the heavily armored infantry rushed into the Liao and Song cavalry regiment on the battlefield. "Kill—" Although the cavalry of the Liao Army was twice as large as that of the Song Army, they lost their speed and were forced to fight with more Song Army infantry. A team of seven or eight people with axes, knives and shields cut down the horse's legs and cut down the cavalry. Many Liao troops were overwhelmed and were killed off their horses.

The morale of the striker Song Jun was greatly boosted, and he continued to charge forward.The crossbowmen behind drew their swords one after another, and followed the heavily armored infantry into the Liao army formation.Like the Song army, the Liao army fought with heavily armored soldiers at the front and lightly armored soldiers at the back, and the lightly armored soldiers entered into melee one after another. The battle scenes were much bloodier than the heavy armored infantry fighting.A knife and a gun often brought up a large amount of blood, and there were screams everywhere on the battlefield. In this Shura field, a serious injury is equal to death.The Liao army was killed and retreated step by step, the wounded were abandoned, and soon beheaded by the Song army behind, and the wounded soldiers of the Song army could only stay on the dangerous battlefield, curling up as much as possible, so as not to gallop from time to time And the passing horse collided.

The Song army became more and more courageous as they fought, unstoppable like a falling rock from a mountain.If the Liao army had not adopted the tactics of overlapping formations, continuously gathered the defeated soldiers, rectified a little, formed formations after the front and rear, and resisted steadily, they might have collapsed already.Even so, the Song army's offensive was like Mount Tai crushing the top, defeating the resistance of the Liao army's cavalry time and time again, step by step to 'force' Xiao Tachi's central army's main formation.In order to resist the offensive of the Song army, Xiao Tachi had to throw his cavalry into the melee.

The Liao army's refueling tactics hit Yang Yanqing's arms. He controlled the rhythm of the Song army's attack, and repeatedly lured Xiao Tachi into thinking that sending another Liao army cavalry to plagiarize the flank would defeat the Song army. Army kidnappers and heavy armored infantry who come at any time are entangled.Gradually, more than 2 Jurchen infantry of the Xi army, and most of the more than [-] cavalry of the Liao army were caught in the chaotic battlefield. Even if Xiao Tachi wanted to retreat, most of the tens of thousands of Liao troops would have to go was left behind.

All the Liao armies fell into a bitter battle. Except for a few who were able to kill the Song army temporarily, most of them were struggling under the attack of the Song army.Xiao Ta frowned, staring at the battlefield, suddenly his eyes lit up.The horsewhip pointed at the rear of the Song army's formation, and said in a deep voice: "Five thousand cavalry copied their rear." Unknowingly, the Song army advanced a long distance, and the entire formation left the cover of the artillery at the top of the city. scope.Xiao Ta's red eyes showed ecstasy, like a gambler who lost his popularity, turned over his hole cards and found that he can turn the tables.But after a while, the cavalry of the Liao Army still did not rush out, Xiao Ta said with red brows: "The people of Song Dynasty are getting farther and farther away from the city wall, and the cavalry quickly copied their rear route." There was still no response.

The blue veins on Xiao Tachi's forehead popped out, he drew out his scimitar, and shouted angrily: "Quick—" Before he finished speaking, he said beside him: "Xiao Dutong, apart from the Baidiao Battalion and Xiaoshi Battalion, there are no other soldiers and horses. It's time to send." Xiao Ping suppressed his dissatisfaction, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you going to send the White Eagle Camp and the Xiaoshi Camp?" Just now he reminded Xiao Tachi several times not to fall into the trick of the Song Army to lure the enemy, But Xiao Tachi thought that he could defeat the Hedong army with more effort, so he sent out one after another Khitan cavalry.

Xiao Ta's red face turned pale, and he looked around, except for the two thousand cavalry from the White Eagle Battalion and hundreds of infantrymen from the Death Battalion, there were no other Liao troops around, at this moment, a chill came from his heart Come up, "Oops," he thought to himself, "It is said that the southerners are cunning, so I have fallen into Yang Yanqing's trick." The Khitan cavalry is famous for their swiftness and speed, and even if the Song army wins, it is difficult to capture much. However, Yang Yanqing Under the temptation step by step, tens of thousands of cavalry have fallen into a melee, and it is too late even if they want to escape.

"Yang Yanqing," Xiao Tachi felt his hands and feet were cold, "you are a cunning Southern Dynasty man." He felt a fishy smell go straight to his throat, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell off the horse.Lieutenant General Xiao Ping didn't help when he saw this, his face was gloomy, judging from the situation, with a [-] army, it would be great if he could bring back [-] to [-] soldiers.

"Fire the cannon!" Yang Yanqing said in a deep voice, "Let Wang Lin flank the enemy formation."

"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-"

The trumpet gun rose into the air three times, and three fireworks bloomed in the blue sky, which was particularly eye-catching.

Yang Yanqing's formation in the Chinese army is relatively stable.Tens of thousands of infantry fought in this narrow battlefield, and the Song army had the upper hand.Only Wang Lin's [-] iron cavalry rushed out to complete the final blow, and the struggling Liao army was bound to collapse.At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Liao Army had only two thousand riders left, and he could no longer stop the actions of Wang Lin's troops.

On the battlefield, many soldiers in the middle of the battle looked up. Zhe Kecun, Guo Xian and other Song generals knew the inside story, and their spirits were lifted. "Kill!" Guo Xian yelled angrily, he was covered in blood, and had already chopped off two knives, each time his subordinates handed him one.Hundreds of soldiers of Song Dynasty surrounded Guo Xian and entered the Liao formation deeply.From time to time someone fell in the melee, and from time to time someone joined the fray from elsewhere.When Xiao Tachi and Xiao Pingping saw Song Jun releasing the cannon, their expressions changed drastically.Seeing this, the Liao army on the battlefield knew something was wrong, but they were still fighting desperately.

About one stick of incense passed, and there was no movement in the north. Hundreds of thousands of Song and Liao soldiers were fighting desperately on the battlefield. Two sticks of incense passed, and the cavalry led by Wang Lin still did not appear.An ominous premonition welled up in Yang Yanqing's heart, and his eyes became more and more solemn. Suddenly, a puff of smoke rose from the northern sky, and a group of Hedong cavalry galloping at full speed appeared on the horizon.Yang Yanqing's face changed slightly, and immediately became more gloomy.The thousands of cavalry from the east of the river were not only in a loose formation, they rushed forward, their shirts were all stained with blood, and many of them carried arrows that they could not pull out in time.

"No, immediately—withdraw from the army!"

Yang Yanqing said in a deep voice.The generals around him looked at him in surprise.At this time, more cavalry appeared on the low hills in the distance.Crowds of barbarian cavalry yelled loudly and waved scimitars. Although the formation was scattered, there were a lot of them. There were hundreds of small cavalry, and thousands of cavalry, pouring out from behind the horizon one after another. , and quickly rushed towards the battlefield where the Liao and Song armies fought.Pieces of dark clouds blown by the strong wind will appear on the battlefield in an instant, covering the entire sky.

"Dang-dang--" The golden gong sounded, and the Song Guozhong army began to retreat slowly.However, the Song army was already entangled with the Liao army, and it was not easy to withdraw at this time.Guo Xian, the former commander of the army, heard that Ming Jin was withdrawing his troops, and looked back angrily, only to see the flag of the Chinese army retreating slowly. "What's going on?" He shouted angrily, "How can the commander retreat?" He cut down a Liao army who took advantage of the situation and roared like a mad tiger: "How can the commander retreat!" The former elite troops he led were all infantry, so they did not have a wide field of vision on the battlefield. The generals and lieutenants could only act according to the orders of the golden drum, and led the soldiers who were still under control to retreat slowly. The Liao army was just defeated by the Song army. The damage was so heavy that he didn't dare to chase the large Song army for a while, and only surrounded many scattered Song troops who fell behind to besiege.

"Xiao Tongzhi, Xiao Tongzhi," Mier's soldiers shouted loudly, "Our tribe is the banner of the Great Khan, and the Great Khan has come to kill him!"

Xiao Tachi raised his head suddenly, those cavalrymen who had just trekked from the grassland in the distance, he finally saw clearly the totem banner of the Mierbo tribe, at this moment, it was as if he had returned to heaven from hell. "Longevity Heaven," Xiao Tachi exclaimed ecstatically, "Blow the jia, beat the drum, we must trap the Song army!" The soldiers below beat the drum vigorously.Seeing the arrival of the reinforcements, the Liao army's various departments were also very energetic. They turned from defense to offense, and clung to the Song army brigade.

"Damn it," Guo Xian also saw the Mierbo cavalry at this time, "God doesn't kill Liao dogs." He spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and looked back at the Chinese army that was slowly retreating. The army has been deeply trapped in the formation of the Liao army, and it is farther away from Yunzhou City. If it retreats at this time, there must be very few survivors of the thousands of soldiers left by the former army.Tens of thousands of Mierbo cavalry are rushing forward on horseback, and even Yang Yanqing's central army headquarters can be preserved.The situation of victory and defeat was reversed in an instant, and they were in a desperate situation. The faces of the elite soldiers could not help but show a look of horror, and their morale was about to collapse.

"It's done," Guo Xian looked around, and said loudly, "I'd rather die than be a coward!" He wiped his face, raised the steel knife that had already been cracked, and pointed forward, "You man with seeds, follow me!" Charge forward! Kill one is one!" Hundreds of soldiers shouted loudly: "Die for General Guo!" 'Close' close.The former army started to fight from the very beginning of the battle. Many soldiers were exhausted and deeply trapped in the enemy's formation. Seeing that there was no hope of escaping backward, they simply moved towards Guo Xian's regiment of hundreds of soldiers. When the Liao army's formation was still sparse, it didn't take long to gather three to four thousand people.

With one stroke of his steel sword, Guo Xian led the dying army, opposite to the retreating direction of the army, and rushed towards the flag of the Liao army commander. "Kill the Liao dog—" "Kill—" "Fucking hell!" Thousands of Song Jun, covered in blood and exhausted, gave up their hope of surviving by chance, and went all the way to those who were dozens of times their own. The Liao army killed them.
