Chapter 169: Border Pass Blocking Battle (6)

Yelu Zhilu Gon said at this moment: "Then our palace army is willing to take on the heavy responsibility, fight against this Song army in a grand manner, and then annihilate it all." ”

Neligu said: "I support the proposal of the king of the front yard, the palace division army is the Praetorian Guard of His Majesty the Emperor of my Great Liao, and it is the most elite division of my Great Liao army. ”

He also said: "Tonight we can attack their camps, so that they will not rest all night, then they will be short of men and horses, and they will be devoid of energy during the day, and they will lose their combat strength, and then the king of the front yard will not easily take down this sleepy Song army." At that time, it will deal a heavy blow to the morale of the other tribes of the Shiheng, and then they will have a fear of war and a war-weariness; At that time, the initiative on the battlefield will be firmly controlled in the hands of our Daliao. Don't say that the Great Song Dynasty will admit intimidation, compromise, and let me slaughter when the time comes; Even the Western Xia will look up to my Da Liao and let me be dispatched by Da Liao. ”

When Jeruzhirugon heard this, he was immediately amused, and he laughed "haha", and then cast a grateful look at Neligu; He knew that this was Neligu's overtures to himself, allowing him to be the only one to do this.

Yelu Honggu saw that the two had reached an agreement, so it was difficult to say anything, after all, these two people were both favored by Yelu Longxu, and his own direct pro-army was only 10,000 people, so his name as the commander was somewhat nominal.

He ordered someone to call a general in his prime, named Xiao Arinu, in his early thirties, and saw him wearing armor, burly figure, full of flesh, unshaven beard, fierce eyes, and a fierce and unruly expression; He ordered Xiao Arino to lead 3,000 Pi Room troops to the Song camp to attack and harass.

Xiao Arinu took the order and left, they used all kinds of disgusting tricks to deal with the Lu 1st Division, at the beginning these Liao troops fired cold arrows at the camp of the 1st Lu Division, and then they continued to release rockets, and after a while, they set fire to many camp tents, and then a large number of new army soldiers came out to extinguish the fire;

Either it was the beating of gongs and drums that made people panic, as long as the Song army relaxed their vigilance, they suddenly rushed out of nowhere to attack and disturb, so that the soldiers of the 1st Lu Division were in their throats, and they were a little nervous, and they were nervous and sleepy, let alone fighting, they could fall asleep even if they were standing.

At this time, Yang Wenguang had already sent elite cavalry to exterminate these attacking Liao troops, but in this long night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the Song army sent almost nothing, and was even bitten back by these Liao troops, losing nearly 100 soldiers for a while, and finally had to return in a huff.

At this moment, it was already midnight, Meng Ming and Yang Wenguang saw that the Liao army's attack method had brought trouble to their own soldiers and affected their morale, and the two deduced that the Liao army would definitely attack tomorrow, and they wanted to use this fatigue tactic to make their soldiers physically and mentally exhausted, and tomorrow the combat strength would be greatly reduced, and the Liao army would be ravaged and slaughtered.

Yang Wenguang and Meng Ming decided to discuss countermeasures at this time, and the commanders of all brigades, regiments and battalions gathered together.

Yang Wenguang said in a deep voice at this time: "Everyone, you have also seen the Liao army's attack on the camp tonight, at this time, their tired enemy and harassment of the enemy's strategy, now we are helpless, I don't know if you have any countermeasures?" ”

At this time, Di Qing, the commander of the 1st Brigade, said: "Division commander, why don't we use our own ways to counter others? Let's go to the Liao army to attack the camp!"

At this time, Cao Ning said: "No, the Liao army on the opposite side has seventy or eighty thousand people, if we go to attack the camp, it will just be a tiger and not an anti-dog, and it will not be possible to fight the dog with meat buns and no return." ”

And Gao Wenhuan said: "I think Brigade Commander Di Qing's suggestion is feasible, we have a magic weapon, we can use grenades to attack it, and the explosion and roar of the grenades at night will definitely make the Liao army panic, and even bombing the camp is possible." ”

At this time, Yang Wenguang said again: "Our suggestion of going to the Liao army camp to attack the camp seems to be feasible, but there are a large number of Liao troops outside the camp waiting for an opportunity at night, and when their own people can not reach the Liao camp, most of them may be killed or injured by the Liao army." ”

Meng Ming said at this time: "Brother Pingzhong, we are all dark under the lights, we have forgotten our artillery battalion, the range of the sixty artillery pieces we recently transported is eight miles away, which is nearly half the range of the thirty artillery pieces brought in the early stage; The large camp of the Liao army is only four miles away from us, and our artillery range is enough to hit it, so we can launch an artillery attack on it without going out of the camp to attack the camp. At that time, the camp of the Liao army will be in chaos, and when the time is ripe, we can raise troops to attack the camp. ”

When Yang Wenguang heard this, his mind suddenly turned around, he slammed his head, and muttered, "At this time, riding a donkey to find a donkey is really stupid." ”

He hurriedly said: "Political Commissar Meng said very well, we can shell the Liao camp, and if the Liao camp is in chaos, we will take the opportunity to break the camp." ”

The commanders of all the artillery battalions at the scene were summoned to the front to give instructions, and finally they all received orders to go and hurry up the preparations before the shelling.

At this time, the artillery position was brightly lit, and sixty cannons were placed on a high slope, and Meng Ming, Yang Wenguang and the three brigade commanders came to watch the battle;

The artillerymen were all busy, and they saw that they fixed the artillery, carried the shells, adjusted the firing elements, and finally aimed before the shelling, and the direction of the shelling was the brightly lit area of the enemy camp.

At this time, Yang Wenguang stood on a high place, and took a glance of the situation in the Liao army camp in the distance, and saw that there was an area inside that was brightly lit, and the same was true for Yuanmen, and he could clearly see the Liao soldiers patrolling the camp.

At this time, he was in high spirits, and then shouted loudly: "Ready... Launch! ”

I heard a loud noise, resounding through the night sky, and one after another cannonballs dragged a long tongue of fire, piercing the night, and flying towards the Liao camp with a terrible sound....

At this time, the Liao camp was out of the guarded tent, the gate and the tent were brightly lit, and the rest of the places were plunged into darkness.

At this time, he had not yet slept peacefully, he suddenly felt restless, as if a big stone was pressed on his chest, he put on a warm robe, and then went out of the tent and went to the camp to inspect it.

A hundred paces away from the tent, he heard a strange noise overhead, as if it was all roaring and flying by, and when he looked up, he saw a number of round things in the air, and they flew towards his camp with long tails of fire.

A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, that is, the Song army used ballistas to launch rockets to attack the camp, and he hurriedly ran to the alarm station and banged the gong wildly.

I saw him shouting while striking the gong: "Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

He didn't shout a few times before he saw these burning things fall to the ground one after another, and immediately he heard a huge roar in the barracks, like rolling lightning and thunder, and the earth shook as if the earth dragon had turned over.

There was a cannonball not far from Yelu Honggu on the ground, and the sound of its explosion knocked all the surrounding camp tents to the ground, and the camp tent that hit it suddenly had blood and flesh flying in it, and there was no one alive.

At this time, the soldiers of the palace division army and the leather room army of the Great Liao began to bomb the camp, and at this time there was a surviving Liao soldier who roared wildly, which caused a chain reaction, and the others were awakened by this person's terrible scream, and even followed the scream, and then spread ten to hundred, and the whole military camp fell into hysterical group exclaims, some people began to kill each other, and some people died of exhaustion in the scream.

At this time, Xiao Arinu, who participated in the attack on the camp of the 1st Army Division, saw the sudden change in his camp, and at this time the camp of the Liao army was already thundering and blazing, so he hurriedly led his troops back and no longer attacked the camp of the Song army.

In the early stage, Yang Wenguang had already sent the Tanma battalion to spy on the situation of the Liao army's camp, and when he learned that the Liao camp was already in disarray, and the Liao soldiers had also bombed the camp, he hurriedly ordered the whole army to attack the Liao camp.

At this time, the 1st Division of the Army left 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp, and the rest poured out, and after they were disturbed by the Liao army, they rushed to the Liao camp with anger and resentment, and they wanted to kill the Quartet, and they had already come out of the evil anger in their hearts.

Meng Ming had already sent someone to report to Chong Shiheng about the military situation of Lu Yishi's assault on the Liao army, and since Lu Yishi's division was only ten miles away from his camp, he submitted the report to his case in half a candle incense.
