Chapter 55: Let's Die Together

Seeing that the sword did not hit the leader of the Song army, Hale Xiongtu was immediately furious, and once again struck the two who fell to the ground with lightning flashes. Zhao Liang was in a hurry, so he picked up a broken shield next to him, desperately blocked his body, and protected Zheng Luya in his arms.

Dangdangdang! Several explosions in a row, the sharp blade of Haller's Xiongtu continued to smash on the shield, and the violent force shook Zhao Liang to the point that he almost vomited blood, Xiao Ya could feel the cold killing intent of the Khitan fierce general through Zhao Liang's body.

The shield, which was already in tatters, could not withstand the repeated blows of Hale Xiongtu, and it was cut to pieces in a few strokes.

When his life was hanging by a thread, Zhao Liang roared fiercely, raised his arm, and threw the remnant shield towards the other party. However, Hale Xiongtu was unmoved, dodged the speeding shield with a slight dodge, and then kicked Zhao Liang who was about to get up.

No way! I'm really going to play ball this time! Zhao Liang's head buzzed, he had never felt that death was so close to him, he was about to close his eyes and stand up to die, but he didn't expect Xiao Ya to turn over at this time, wielding a mace, blocking the scimitar that Hale Xiongtu suddenly fell.

Hearing only a crisp sound, Hallexiongtu involuntarily took a half step back, his eyes full of annoyance. Zheng Luya was able to force him back with one move, not because of his strong internal strength, but because he took advantage of the weapon.

The mace is made of fine iron, and the weight is extremely heavy, and it is estimated that it has hundreds of catties of strength when picked up, so it naturally easily swings away the opponent's weapon.

However, this iron bump covered in spikes is really not easy to make, especially not suitable for a girl like Xiaoya. Only then did he force Halechon to retreat, and the mace in his hand slammed into the ground with a pestle, and he could not lift it again for a while.

"You're dead!" Halchentu bared his teeth viciously, letting the blood from the wound on his head flow down, staring at the two in front of him, looking like a hungry wolf who had gone mad.

Zhao Liang got up from the ground, picked up half a spear, and blocked Zheng Luya's body in one step, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoya, don't be afraid, there is me!" ”

At this time, Zheng Luya was indeed a little tired, her hands were shaking uncontrollably, and when she saw Zhao Liang desperately protecting her behind her, she couldn't help but feel like crying in her heart.

She gritted her teeth and stretched out a hand on Zhao Liang's shoulder: "If you want to die, let's die together." ”

Zhao Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Alas, I don't know such a way to die, can the bureau evaluate the two of us as a martyr or something?" ”

Zheng Luya didn't understand what Zhao Liang meant, but at this time, Haller's Xiongtu had already rushed to the front, she didn't care about it anymore, she clenched the shaft of the mace with both hands, ready to resist with all her might, and Zhao Liang also picked up the broken gun, planning to change it at once, and strive to die with the other party, at least to keep Xiaoya's thoughtfulness.

At this critical moment, a large number of spear and shield soldiers and archers suddenly rushed over from the Song army's position, and approached Zhao Liang's location in a blink of an eye. It turned out that the sharp-eyed officer of the Song Army noticed that Commander Mu was in danger, so he no longer cared about whether he ordered or not, and the formation was not in formation, so he immediately led his troops to come to the rescue.

With a whoosh, an arrow burst through the air and struck Hale-chuntu squarely on the knife-wielding arm. The pain was unbearable, and he couldn't hold the weapon in his hand for a while, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Seeing that the main general was wounded again, the nearby Breaker also rushed over desperately, escorting Hale Xiongtu to turn around and run, and retreated into the criss-crossing giant wooden array in the blink of an eye.

The rest of the surviving Khitan warriors, who were shocked by the momentum of the Song army's counter-charge, had already had the idea of retreating, seeing that the main general had withdrawn, of course they didn't have to stay and wait for death, they turned around and ran wildly, and returned to the giant wooden array together.

The ferocious severers finally retreated, and the archers on the treetops and the ground hurriedly fired arrows, sniping the fleeing Khitans one after another.

After this tense and bitter battle, the forward position of the Song army and the giant wooden array were finally in danger and temporarily saved. However, the battle was not over at this moment, Hale Xiongtu was retreating, but Xiao Jinshu's three thousand soldiers and horses were approaching the quick reinforcement division. A large number of Khitan warriors formed a skirmish line, and they had already reached the core of the giant wood array, and they could see that they could break through the formation in one or two hundred steps.

Zheng Luya felt a sense of powerless exhaustion at this time, and cursed: "These goddamn bastards, it's endless!" ”

Zhao Liang beckoned the soldiers to hold their positions, and reminded Xiaoya: "The time is about the same, hurry up and send a signal, otherwise you will really hang up tonight!" ”

Xiao Ya nodded, and hurriedly ordered the herald behind her. The herald took a bull's horn, gagged it in his mouth, and blew it with all his might. A muffled whining sound echoed through the mountains and fields, and it sounded very clear.

Zhao Liang took out the small black box and contacted Li Erbai to inform him to start the action.

Xiao Tzu Rin, who was outside the formation, was checking Hale Xiongtu's injuries at this time, and suddenly heard the sound of a horn from Song Jun's side, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He has fought with the Great Song Dynasty for half his life, and of course he is no stranger to the various flags and drums of the Song Dynasty, so he can't help but be a little stunned. Because the rhythm of that horn, if translated as a military order, should mean retreat.

"They're leaving?" Xiao Tzu Rin muttered to himself blankly: "Where to retreat?" ”

A Khitan general said: "I guess it's going to break through, right?" I have repeatedly hit our army, and now I want to run! ”

Xiao Tzu Rin reacted and hurriedly ordered: "The newly reinforced troops, together with the original rushing camp regiments, will immediately deploy along the giant wood formation to prevent the enemy from breaking through." Tell Xiao Jinshu to let him stay in the giant wood array for the time being and observe carefully, and then make plans after discovering Song Jun's intentions. If you confirm that the other party really wants to escape, you will immediately chase after me and bite to death! ”

With an order, more than 10,000 leather room troops on the periphery of the Hutou Mountain position scattered on all sides of the giant wooden array, (support the original version, please move to the vertical and horizontal Chinese network to read the latest chapter) In this mountain forest area with a radius of one or two kilometers, they laid heavy defenses and waited for them.

However, what was completely unexpected was that not long after the main Khitan force was dispersed and deployed, the command center where Xiao Tzulin, the king of the Southern Courtyard, was located, was caught off guard by the surprise attack of the Song army!

Hundreds of elite soldiers and horses of the Great Song Speed Aid Division came out of nowhere and suddenly appeared not far behind Xiao Tzulin's side.

While frantically throwing firearms with poisonous smoke, they opened their bows and arrows to kill the Liao army, and in the blink of an eye, they approached the king of the southern courtyard.

Because the incident happened too suddenly, and the darkness in the mountains and forests was difficult to see, the Liao generals who were watching the battle had no way to judge for a while how many Song troops had come to attack them, and they only felt that there were Han people shouting and killing everywhere, and there were powerful firearms explosions and feathered arrows flying everywhere.

The main force had all been sent out to carry out the containment task at this moment, and the guards who stayed in front of Xiao Tzu Rin were only a hundred and ten people, and more than half of them were put down in the blink of an eye, and the rest were also in a panic.

In the end, the Khitan wolf lord Xiao Tzu Rin is still a veteran of a hundred battles, he reacted very quickly, and he did not mess up in the face of changes, and immediately made a decision:! Run!

The command was attacked by the enemy, and if you hesitate in this situation, it is no different from being sent to death in vain.

Under the desperate cover of the pro-soldiers, Xiao Tzu Rin and other Liao generals spurred their horses and galloped wildly, hoping to break out of the encirclement of the Song army in the shortest possible time. It doesn't matter who he is here or how many people there are, let's save his life first.

Seeing that the enemy's main general was running away, the Song army that attacked them only divided a small part of their men to continue the pursuit, while the rest of the soldiers swept all the way along the perimeter of the giant wood array. Relying on the complex terrain and dark environment of the dense forest, the Khitan army, which was also stunned, was constantly attacked with firearms and bows and arrows.

At the same time, these people's mouths were not idle, and they shouted again and again: "Xiao Tart is dead!" The king of the Southern Courtyard is dead! ”

In the blink of an eye, the dense forest defense line on the periphery of the Giant Wood Formation was in chaos.

The big hero and invincible wolf lord Xiao Tzu Rin in the hearts of the Liao men is dead? I'm Detian, is this worth it? How many people did the Song army come? Did we fall for the plan of the Great Song Dynasty and be completely surrounded?

For a time, all the Khitan soldiers were in a dilemma. Some of the generals who led the team planned to call out to the soldiers and tell them that these were all Han rumors, and they must not believe it, but the problem was that those Song soldiers did come from the direction where the king of the Southern Courtyard was. has been beaten into this bear-like look, and the wolf lord is probably also more than lucky.

The panicked atmosphere quickly spread throughout the team, and with the fire and figures getting closer and closer, a squad of the Leather Room Army took the lead in turning and slipping away. Immediately afterward, more and more battalions chose to turn around and flee, and no one was willing to stay to resist.

Tens of thousands of Liao soldiers were running in the dark jungle, panicking, and fleeing in all directions.

Xiao Jinshu, who was temporarily staying in the giant wood array and secretly observing the situation of the rapid aid division's camp, was also a little unable to stay at this time. The men looked around curiously, and gradually became panicked.

"General, something seems to have happened outside!"

"I just heard someone shouting that the king is dead?"

"Hey, look at those two sides, the Iron Pigeon Army has withdrawn! Oh and over there, the Tiger Army runs faster! ”

"What the hell is going on, General, shall we go?"

"My God, it was the Han people who killed it, right?"

Xiao Jinshu's anxious face broke out in a cold sweat. He had the intention to lead the team to withdraw from the giant wooden array, but he was afraid that he would be beheaded by Xiao Tzu Rin because of violating the military order. Tonight, he has already attacked twice in a row, killing Yelu Yuchi and seriously wounding Halxiongtu. At this time, if you want to lose the chain again, your head will definitely not be protected.

But stick to it, and the whole army is panicked. Seeing that the battle line outside was becoming more and more chaotic, all regiments and battalions of the Leather Room Army were frantically withdrawing, and he was stupid to stay here, and he was really uneasy in his heart.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard the sound of drums in front of him, and hundreds of Song soldiers rushed out of the camp and swooped towards the giant wood formation.

This time, Xiao Jinshu no longer hesitated, he hurriedly shouted, and quickly retreated with his troops, as the Liao army team that held out to the end of the entire Hutou Mountain, and escaped with honor.

While driving the Khitan deserters who were scurrying around, the Song army soldiers hurried to clean up the battlefield, (support the genuine version, please move to the Zongheng Chinese website to read the latest chapter) Zhao Liang accompanied Zheng Luya out of the giant wooden formation and met Yang Zongbao who was rushing towards him.

"God forbid!" Yang Zongbao exclaimed in surprise and walked quickly to the front: "I thought you couldn't hold it anymore, and you almost died!" Why is there no signaling? ”

Zheng Luya first glanced at the surrounding situation, and then said, "Master Hou and I both felt that the time had not come, so we persevered for a while. How's it going over there? ”

Yang Zongbao looked at the injuries on Zheng Luya's body distressedly, and said solemnly: "Returning to the commander, at night, at the behest of you and the military advisor, I led five hundred soldiers to ambush in the eastern mountain pass, and as soon as I heard the sound of the military trumpet, I launched a surprise attack from behind the enemy, and smashed the place where Xiao Tart was handsome. It is also blessed by God, at that time, the main force of the Liao soldiers had just left, and the Khitan generals were empty, and they were immediately beaten by us and fled. Taking advantage of the situation, he divided his troops to outflank the enemy's main force, created the illusion that a large force of our army had already been killed, and defeated the leather room army in one fell swoop, and won a complete victory! ”

"It's too early to say that we have won a big victory," Zheng Luya asked, "How many war horses have we captured in this battle?" ”

"I haven't had time to count them yet," Yang Zongbao couldn't hide his excitement: "But a rough calculation, at least seven or eight thousand horses." ”

Zhao Liang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Damn, seven or eight thousand?" That's great! With the war horses we brought, this is enough. ”

Zheng Luya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and turned her head to look at Nanle Fort in the west: "Just now, there was a shocking shout of killing from the direction of Nanle, and Yang Shuai and the Ningbian army have begun to break through!" ”
