Chapter 63: Fight and Kill!
"The Chinese army is in flames? I don't know how Yelu Chongyuan made the Chinese army fire! There is the emperor's station, fireworks, blades are heavily forbidden, and pedestrians at night are serious crimes, even if he is powerful, there is no way to influence the emperor's guards.
The brothers are now lying on the snow and ice, and if we wait until midnight, without the Liao people fighting, we ourselves will freeze to death. The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it becomes. Attacking it is not prepared to use it unexpectedly, and it is also suitable for now! ”
Gordon suddenly stood up and waved the flag in his hand, and Gao Jide dragged Gordon down and said angrily: "What are you going to do?" ”
Gordon pulled out his long knife and said with a smile: "What General Zhang said is not wrong at all, it is already a miracle to be able to get close to the Liao people's military village, and there is really no way to think about more things at this time." You see, someone has already killed it. ”
Gao Jide was startled, and when he looked up, he found that those Jurchens had already run onto the ice......
At the same time, a low trumpet sounded through the sky......
The unprepared side always suffers, when the Liao people have not yet assembled, the Jurchens led by Ke Libo have already stormed in front of the military tent, and the careless Liao people see the Jurchens like beasts, their first reaction is to run away......
Gao Jide stood up and roared wildly, and rushed towards the tent of the Liao people for the first time, since the Jurchens had already broken through a road, he had to follow no matter what.
After Gordon cut down a Liao man, he threw the gunpowder and sulfur package in his hand into the tent group, followed by a torch that had been lit in a circle. With a bang, large yellow flames erupted from the tent, and tongues of fire engulfed the extremely flammable cowhide tents in an instant.
The raid went into a fever pitch from the start. Zhang Dongyao's army was divided into four groups, and after setting off from the reeds, they each rushed to their own goals, Zhang Dongyao was still regretting after firing a crossbow arrow, why did he not have a war horse, otherwise, such a God-given opportunity, there will be a very big victory.
The battle went very smoothly. The combat power of the Liao people was not as strong as Zhang Dongyao had predicted in advance, and there were countless Liao people with luxurious clothes. They howled and fled backwards, so fast that Zhang Dongyao was particularly surprised.
Smoke billowed from the puddles of the entire Duck River, and there were sounds of fighting and screaming. The sound of wailing filled the ice in a short time.
Gao Yue turned his head to look on the ice, and saw that the outer tents of the Liao people had been fired, and countless heralds were galloping on war horses with fur on their hooves, and various flags were flying everywhere. The shouts of officers at all levels were filled with commands, and the soldiers with red scarves on their heads ran in groups along the sand-paved road with weapons and improvised trebuchets to their predetermined battle positions.
As soon as people pass through the boundless boundary, they either wear red clothes or tie red scarves, and when they look at it, it looks like a torrent of red. The Liao camp on the ice was squeezed in all directions, until the entire ice surface was stained with red.
The duck river puddle is huge. But the ice where the emperor is stationed is not very large, just in the northwest corner of the ice sheet, there is a white high platform, on the high platform stands a huge white tent, you can see the cold light flashing from the hands of the armor soldiers in front of the palace in the distance, this should be the location of the emperor of Liao. Gao Yuechang took a breath and led his soldiers and horses around the ice cave dug by the Liao people when they were fishing, and pounced on the northwest corner like a ghost.
In order to make a surprise attack in front of Yeluhonki in the fastest time. Zhang Dongyao and Gao Jide tried their best to concentrate the forces of the Great Song Dynasty, and they had already said in advance that no matter which of the four teams broke through, the remaining three teams would desperately drag the reinforcements of the Liao people to buy time for the team that broke through.
Now it seems that the first person to break through should be Keli Bowl, the Jurchens who have been rearmed by the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty, and their true strength is vividly displayed.
Iron rods are more effective than wooden rods in any case, and sharp long knives often cut down with a single knife, which can split the Liao people's armor and life from it. Those Jurchens who had been stained with blood were like beasts of the wilderness, opening their mouths and letting out a beast-like howl in the Liao people's hurriedly formed military formation, and for a time the stumps and broken arms continued to fly, even if the Jurchens were pierced by countless spears and were picked up high, they still tried to use the last bit of strength to swing the long knife to try to kill the last enemy.
Suddenly, a black wolf flag fell down in front of the white tabernacle, pointing straight ahead.
Zhang Dongyao's pupils couldn't help shrinking, the meaning of this flag is very clear, that is, if the wolf of the Liao Kingdom wants to ride within a quarter of an hour, it must launch an attack.
"It's so urgent, Lao Tzu's people haven't broken through yet, you want to use cavalry to make a way out of life now?" Zhang Dongyao climbed into a Liao lookout car and looked around, and found that Keli Bo had broken through the second line of defense and was rushing towards the third line of defense like a flood.
Gordon's team was blocked by a group of black-armored foot soldiers on the second line of defense, and although they fought hard, they were unable to break through there, but Gao Jide and Gao Yue joined forces, skillfully avoiding the black armor foot soldiers, and rushed inside from the most ornate part of the tabernacle.
There is no time, although the gunpowder bullet is precious, it is time to use it, after a gunpowder bullet was thrown out, Zhang Dongyao suddenly remembered that his group of people were on the ice, and the gunpowder bullet would blow up the ice...... When the Bianhe River in Tokyo was clogged with ice, the Gojo Terracotta Division did just that.
There was a "boom" sound, and the gunpowder shells exploded in the Liao army group, and five or six Liao troops were blown up and flew up, and after falling on the ice, they were no longer alive.
There was an extra pit more than a foot deep on the ice, and the power of the gunpowder bullet was not enough to break through the thick ice in Liaodong.
The Song army, who was wearing a red scarf on his head, saw that the main general had begun to throw gunpowder bombs, and they naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and after igniting the gunpowder fuse, they also threw it out, and the Liao people looked at the black powder bullets on their heads in a daze, and they didn't know how to meet the enemy, until the general roared and raised his shield, and then raised his shield in a disorderly manner.
Gunpowder shells clanged on the shield like a torrential rain, and after this torrential rain, countless explosions and thunders rang out on the second line of defense that the Liao had hastily established.
Zhang Dongyao was horrified to see a white line on the ice like a snake approaching him, and hurriedly shouted to retreat, he heard a snap behind him, and when he ran to a safe place to look back, he found that there was a black hole the size of two acres on the ice, and none of the people who were standing there densely just now could not be seen, including his subordinates who did not have time to run away, Zhang Dongyao almost didn't dare to think that in such a cold winter, one by one soldiers wearing dozens of pounds of armor, Once you fall into an ice hole, there is no difference between falling into the water with a scale.
Zhang Dongyao, who was frightened, suddenly heard the sound of a stone bullet breaking through the air, he didn't need to look at it to know that this was a catapult of the Liao people, he had seen too much of this thing in the mud ancient village.
"Spread out, spread out!" Zhang Dongyao was shouting, and the experienced military marquis was also yelling, this thing was not accurate at all, and he could only consider himself unlucky if he was smashed, Zhang Dongyao now only hoped that this thing would not smash through the ice.
After waiting for a long time, no stone bullets fell, and when Zhang Dongyao looked up, his mouth couldn't close in surprise, and those stone bullets actually crossed over the heads of his group of people and smashed far away to the shore.
Zhang Dongyao stood up and laughed twice, the Liao people didn't have time to determine their position and fired stone bullets indiscriminately, at this time, they didn't dare to waste such a good opportunity, and when the Liao people calculated the shooting distance, the unlucky one should be himself.
Gao Yue watched as the black wolf flag on the white tent changed from tiled to slanted to the left, and the wind swept the flag, drawing a short straight line. The wind became stronger, and this was an order for the assembled cavalry to prepare for battle.
The first to bear the brunt should be the Jurchens, but Gao Yue did not intend to remind the ignorant and fearless Jurchens that those brave fools could help him attract the Liao cavalry.
Until now, Gao Yue still did not use his gunpowder bullets, he heard Zhang Dongyao's movements, and looked back to see that the foot soldiers led by his father were attacking and advancing on his left flank, and he did not use gunpowder bullets.
Gao Jide whispered when he passed by Gao Yue's side: "I broke through, you are behind your palace, you can't do anything, immediately break through from the west, I left you enough supplies for Xiaoshan Mountain, hide there and wait for the war to subside before trying to find a way to return to the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Gao Yue was stunned for a moment, he thought he had heard it wrong, and wanted to ask, but saw that his father had already brandished his double knives and killed the enemy group.
Keribo held a horse chopping knife in his hand, standing motionless on the sandy ice, his eyes fixed on the cavalry slowly rushing towards him, he knew that behind the cavalry was his father's killer, and this was the first time he had been so close to his enemy.
He didn't care what entanglements the Song people had with those strange Liao people, his only purpose was to get close to Yelu Hongji and cut off his head with his own hands, his father's head had become a wine cup, so only by turning the head of the Liao emperor into a wine cup could the shame of the Jurchen warriors be washed away.
On the ice, no matter if the cavalry can't run fast, Ke Libo knows this very well, the white feather arrows that split the head and cover the head shot over, he only used the back of his own sword to protect his eyes, those powerful white feather arrows clanged on the armor, but they couldn't pass through the fifty-six-pound foot armor on his body.
The thick nostrils of the war horse spewed white gas, and the monster rushed over, and Keli Bo rotated his body in place three times, and waited for all his strength to pour into the horse chopping knife, and then exhaled and cut the horse chopping knife against the ironclad cavalry of the Liao people.
