A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 719 Heavy Cavalry Attack

"There are more than five thousand enemy troops!"

On top of the city, the sergeant on the lookout had already figured out the answer.

Below the city, five thousand cavalry were arrayed, and eight thousand infantry were arrayed.

"Our army has 13,000 troops and the enemy has 5,000 troops. Our army will win!"

Zhe Jizu was encouraging his subordinates, but this seemed a bit redundant.

After seeing that there were only so many enemy troops, the Fuzhou Army's morale was so high that they wanted to pursue them immediately.

The enemy army stopped, and more than 5,000 horsemen made various noises uneasily, which mixed together made it a bit noisy.

"The enemy seems to be timid."

Tang Ren said with some regret: "Are they going to retreat?"

Zhe Jizu shook his head: "If we evacuate like this, the enemy will probably not be willing to do so."

Before he finished speaking, the enemy cavalry began to come slowly.

"Prepare!"

The cavalry of the Song Dynasty was delicate, so the infantry had to fight in the first battle. As long as the infantry blocks the enemy's cavalry, the cavalry can then launch a general attack.

Doing this seems to take human life seriously, but it is the reality at this moment.

There is no other way. If there were more cavalry, Zhe Jizu would dare to launch an attack now, but now he cannot afford to lose them.

The enemy cavalry begins to accelerate.

The horses' hooves hit the ground, and the sounds converged together, as if countless small drums were sounding.

The sound was dull, but breathtaking.

"Divine Power Crossbow..."

After the Shenwei Crossbow went on a killing spree in Yuanzhou, it was no longer hidden everywhere, but was openly used.

Tang Ren said proudly: "Today, let the Xixia people have a taste of the power of the Shenwei Crossbow."

The enemy cavalry suddenly dispersed, and there were at most five hundred men and horses rushing forward.

Zhe Jizu laughed and said: "This is because we know the power of the Song Dynasty Shenwei crossbow, so we don't dare to attack with the whole army, hahahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Fuzhou army burst into laughter.

"Divine Power Crossbow..."

The distance was getting closer, and an officer shouted with all his strength: "Let go..."

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Amidst the sounds of countless crossbows firing, Zhe Jizu lamented: "Originally, the Shenwei Crossbow refused to be given to Fuzhou. Some people said that the Fuzhou army belonged to the Zhe family and should not be given to him. Anbei scolded that person for making trouble out of nothing. He He is the inventor of the Shenwei Crossbow, so the imperial court also gave him face, which is why the Fuzhou Army has a good life today."

The black cloud flew over, and one-third of the enemy's cavalry was lost, while the rest fled in panic.

"Hahahaha! If this temptation fails, will the enemy dare to come again?"

Zhe Jizu has fought many times in his life, but this time is the most comfortable.

"The enemy is here again!"

The Xixia people attacked again, this time with more than a thousand horses.

"Divine Power Crossbow..."

The Shenwei Crossbow gradually became the confidence of the Song Dynasty army. With it, everyone was not afraid of the impact of enemy cavalry.

Therefore, generals from all over the country are writing to the capital, requesting to expand the number of crossbowmen, hoping to use crossbow arrows to plant a new territory for the Song Dynasty.

Black clouds rose into the sky again, but the enemy cavalry still refused to retreat.

"Xixia people dare to fight!"

Tang Ren looked solemnly at the Xixia people who suffered heavy casualties under the blow of the divine crossbow, and felt that the opponents of the Song Dynasty were too powerful.

"Today will definitely teach them a lesson they will never forget."

Zhe Jizu drew his long sword and shouted: "Get ready!" when the enemy attacked the spear array in front.

This is the order to launch a general offensive.

Five thousand cavalrymen all drew their swords.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The spear array in front was destroyed, but Zhe Jizu was not moved at all, because the swordsmen and axemen came up.

The axemen were wearing heavy armor and seemed to be wielding their axes clumsily, trying to defeat the enemy cavalry in front of them.

If there were swordsmen in the Tang Dynasty, then there were swordsmen and axes in the Song Dynasty. This was the method used by the Central Plains to deal with foreign cavalry.

Using infantry to fight cavalry, who dares to say that the Central Plains people have no courage?

"Fire arrows..."

The last wave of crossbow arrows rose into the air, and the enemy cavalry in front finally stopped under the chop of the axemen.

"Attack! Attack!"

Zhe Jizu held a knife and shouted.

Tang Ren pulled out his long sword and shouted: "For the Great Song Dynasty!"

He was the governor, and as a civil official, he had to speak out for the Song Dynasty.

"For the Song Dynasty!"

Countless cavalry shouted.

There were many long knives, and the array in front opened a passage. Zhe Jizu was the first to rush forward.

Tang Ren followed closely. In the last battle of Yuanzhou, he followed Zhe Jizu and gained a lot.

Zhe Jizu cut off the opponent's arm with a knife in front, and Tang Ren laughed wildly and swung the knife to pick it up.

"This is someone's military merit, hahaha!"

Zhe Jizu was like an arrow on the battlefield, and enemy cavalry were constantly being killed or severely wounded from both sides.

Tang Ren kept harvesting his achievements from behind, and unknowingly started to accelerate.

"The enemy troops are in retreat, a great victory!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The Song army cheered, and then Zhe Jizu shouted: "Pursue!"

So a chase began.

The enemy cavalry that fell behind were constantly cut, surrounded, and then wiped out.

Arrows were flying, and people on both sides kept falling.

Unknowingly, both parties were far away from Fuzhou City.

The formation of the cavalry gradually became scattered, and they seemed to be fighting independently.

Tang Ren caught up with an enemy soldier and split his back with a long knife. Just when he was about to strike again, he heard someone screaming.

"Enemy attack..."

He heard the sound and looked around, and saw smoke appearing on the left.

All the cavalry from Fuzhou are here. Who is this?

Zhe Jizu raised the telescope, then his expression changed drastically, and he shouted: "Gather and gather!"

Amid the sound of horns, the pursuers began to return.

The Xixia people who were being pursued also stopped. They counted the troops and found that there were heavy casualties. Suddenly there was a burst of yelling and cursing, and then they began to form a team.

"Zhizhou, the Xixia people have begun to form a team. This is an ambush!"

The Xixia people were laughing over there. They were far away, but the laughter still came through, which showed how proud they were.

The enemy troops on the left were accelerating. In the smoke and dust, someone exclaimed: "It's the Liao army!"

All is clear.

Tang Ren gritted his teeth and said: "This is a trap. The main force of the Xixia people is hundreds of miles away and cannot come to help. The Xixia people in front are the bait, luring our army to attack and stay away from Fuzhou City. Then the Liao army ambushed... …Where are our army’s scouts?”

He thought of a possibility and then turned pale.

Dozens of long spears were erected among the Liao people in the distance, and there were some round things on the spears.

"That's for brothers..."

Someone said sadly and angrily: "That's our scout!"

The enemy troops carried heads with spears and showed off their power. They surrounded and killed the Song army's scouts, and then came quietly, catching the Fuzhou army by surprise.

Zhe Jizu said calmly: "After the Xixia people were defeated in Yuanzhou, they did not dare to provoke the Song Dynasty for the time being. But last time we killed the Liao army coming down the river, this was a shame for Yelu Hongji. If The Xixia people showed their kindness, and this plan to lure the enemy came out."

Tang Ren said: "This is just one reason. What's more important is that after the victory of Yuanzhou, the Liao people were a little afraid of the Song Dynasty, so they wanted to use a raid to tell the Song Dynasty that they are still the strongest in this land."

Zhe Jizu smiled ferociously and said, "But this will be paid for with human life. Is Yelu Hongji ready?"

"The enemy army...more than 10,000 people!"

Zhe Jizu's ferocious smile disappeared amidst the shrill shouts from the lookout post, and he said in astonishment: "The Liao people actually sent out so many people?"

Tang Ren glanced at the Xixia people who had finished gathering and started to approach, and said: "Including the Xixia people, the enemy army... more than 14,000, Zhizhou... someone's life will probably be lost here today, but last time you Where is the promised beauty from Liao?"

The northwest is miserable and very unbearable. Last time Zhejizu promised Tang Ren that he would find a beauty from the Liao Kingdom, but it has been three months and there is not even a hair of the beauty, let alone a beauty.

Zhe Jizu said coldly: "It's only 14,000. Our army has 13,000. This battle... our army will win!"

"Just coax people."

Tang Ren knew the power of the Liao people's more than 10,000 cavalry. No matter how powerful the Shenwei crossbow was, it could not block the enemy's assault. Once it was broken through, the entire army would be annihilated.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty always failed in its wars against the north. The most important thing was the lack of cavalry.

The impact of the cavalry is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Once they charge, they will move forward unless they die.

"Enemy attack!"

The Liao people just rested for a while and then started the assault.

"Very stable! Their formation is very stable!"

Zhe Jizu's heart felt slightly cold.

In the process of charging into the formation, the stability of the formation is still maintained, which cannot be done without elites.

"Divine Power Crossbow..."

The soldiers were distraught, and they all placed their hopes on the divine crossbow.

"put!"

Black clouds rose into the sky and then plunged down.

There was a small gap in the attacking Liao army's formation, but the gap was quickly filled, as if it had never appeared.

The bravery of these Liao people was as expected by Zhe Jizu, but an even greater panic came.

"The enemy is heavily armored!"

Damn it!

Tang Ren stood up with his feet in stirrups and watched the Liao soldiers tear off the cloaks that wrapped their bodies, and then the metallic glow stung his eyes.

"It's a heavy armored cavalry!"

Tang Ren sat down in frustration, and the war horse moved uneasily.

Zhe Jizu shouted with a cold face: "The sword and ax hand!"

The impact of the heavy cavalry was even more disappointing. Once broken through, the Fuzhou Army had no room for resistance.

Tang Ren looked at the approaching Chongqi, his body trembling.

He thought of his family and Shen An...

What would he do if the imperial edict was there?

Tang Ren's body trembled. He remembered those shocking footsteps, Shen An's decisiveness in charging into the formation, and Shen An's roar during the battle in Southwest China.

"Where are the men's eggs?"

Some people are afraid, some are retreating in fear, people are panicked, and the formation is shaken.

Tang Ren rode forward in this panic. He shouted with all his strength: "They are all men, but where are the men's eggs?"

"The Song Dynasty needs you to stick to this place, otherwise our army will be annihilated, Fuzhou City will fall, and your parents, wives and children will be massacred... Therefore, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Men with eggs, Everyone follow me!"

Choking!

Tang Ren draws his sword!

Choking!

Countless soldiers faced the heavy cavalry galloping ahead and drew their swords one after another.

No one stepped back at this moment.

Heavy cavalry came like a wall, the horses were struggling to breathe, and the warriors on horseback drew their swords one after another.

Choking!

The light of the sword flashed in front of the formation.

Zhe Jizu has been in the army for many years, but faced with such a desperate situation, he still has shortness of breath.

Tang Ren's eyes widened, he pointed his sword forward and shouted with all his strength: "For the Great Song Dynasty!"

At the moment when the enemy's heavy cavalry collided, countless soldiers shouted with all their strength: "For the Song Dynasty!"
