Chapter 89: The Battle of Luancheng (1)

The Longqi Army was under the jurisdiction of the first battalion of the five armies of the Mabu Army, and under the leadership of their respective commanders, they wiped the black and walked westward with firm steps, and touched towards the camp of the Liao Army. Heavily armed, but lightly armed, all burdens that had nothing to do with the battle were thrown away.

In order to keep it secret, the bell had already been removed, and each soldier chewed on a grass stalk or twig in his mouth, and the sand and astringent taste stimulated the nerves, although the taste was unpleasant, but it also had a refreshing effect.

Cautiously and at a constant speed, maintaining his physical strength, the speed was not fast, until he reached a place two miles east of Liaoying. The field of vision here is wide, and there is not much shelter left, so I dare not rush forward again. It is surrounded by vast fields, and in the middle is a large patch of canine farmland.

When Xiang Xun surveyed the enemy's situation before, he selected three suitable attack points from north to south, and when he formulated the attack plan, Liu Chengyou originally planned to divide the whole army into three parts and launch an attack at the same time, so as to give the Liao army more flowers.

was dissuaded by Xiang Xun, for no other reason, such a three-sided linkage would obviously dilute the already small strength of the Longqi Army. Although the Liao camp is scattered, after all, it is more than 100,000 troops, and if your own side is scattered, as long as the enemy army reacts at random, the concentrated forces may be superior to your own, which will increase the risk of attacking the camp.

Instead of attacking in three directions, Mo Ruo didn't want to be so much, concentrate the whole army, and attack all the way to ensure the superiority of troops at the attack point.

Sitting on his horse, Liu Chengyou looked west, staring at the Liao army camp in the long dark night in the distance. The sparks were sparkling, and the stretch of enemy camp could not be seen at all.

With a deep sigh, Liu Chengyou applied solemnly, his eyes were very firm, and his face was full of fortitude. He is the commander in chief, and he is the most important of the three armies, and at this point, as long as he shows the slightest hesitation or fear, it is a blow to the morale of the army.

In less than a quarter of an hour, on this field, the sergeants of the entire Longqi army had already set up an offensive formation under the command of the officer.

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou directly ordered: "Pass the order and prepare to attack!" ”

When the time had passed, the Liaoying side seemed quieter, and the already low vigilance was more relaxed. On the side of the Longqi Army, there was also silence all around, the moonlight was sprinkled, and the armor and unsheathed swords reflected the cold light.

This was the time when the body was most tired, but under the influence of nervousness, the whole army was somewhat excited. In my ears, I could faintly hear the sound of flowing water, and the southeast wind that had been blowing was unexpectedly violent.

Looking up at the military flag that was blown to the sound of hunting, Liu Chengyou felt something, jumped out of his horse, wandered in front of the army, waved his hand, and did not suppress his voice anymore, pointing to the southeast direction, and used all his strength to mobilize before the attack: "Soldiers, when we go here, we have no way back, we are living, and those who retreat are dying." At this time, when the wind rises, it is the heavens that help our army, take advantage of the situation, and defeat Hu Kou in one fell swoop! ”

The legend of the "Battle of Kunyang", these days, during the march, Liu Chengyou has ordered people to spread among the Longqi army, and constantly repeat the brainwashing, instilling the idea of "replicating miracles" into the army. In fact, because the ideological work was done sufficiently, the Longqi army was not too afraid at this time, and because of the violent death of Yelude, the morale was very high.

Probably in response to what Liu Chengyou said, the sudden southeast wind on this summer night is blowing more violently!

"Raise the fire!"

Under the order, the thousands of torches that had been prepared in advance in the army were quickly lit, and the surroundings were illuminated at once.

"Attack!"

Immediately following the order, several war drums sounded, and the whole army of Longqi maintained the array, following the rhythm of the drums, and rushed towards the middle Liao camp. The whole army swept over the field, leaving a mess, two miles away, and under the high-speed sprint, it soon approached the Liao camp and attacked it.

When the fire suddenly lit up in the east, the sentinels of the Liao camp had already discovered it and gave an emergency warning, but the Longqi army suddenly launched, and in this short period of time, in a hurry, where could the Liao army, which was already exhausted, react.

The cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, from east to west, and the whole army of Longqi was like a sharp blade, fiercely piercing into the Liao camp. The enemy's defenses were very lax, and there were not many useful garrison measures, which were easily broken by the horses, and they kicked the tents of the camp until they rushed to the shore of the river, and then stopped.

Liu Chengyou, as he promised before the war, took the lead in the cavalry formation. It's just that they are firmly guarded by Li Chongyuan and others, and the battlefield is dangerous and unpredictable, as Liu Chengyou's tooth soldiers, they don't care about the victory or defeat of the war, they are only responsible for ensuring Liu Chengyou's safety.

Under the command of Han Tong and Luo Yanpu, the two battalions of the Ma Army quickly adjusted their positions and concentrated around Liu Chengyou, preparing to launch the next round of attacks.

Glancing around, the camp in front of him has been shattered by the Longqi Army, and the surrounding area has fallen into chaos, and the effect of the surprise attack is very good. But this corner of the place in front of him, compared to the more than ten miles of the company camp, is really insignificant, and it is still far from shaking the entire Liao camp.

In the rear, accompanied by the majestic and fiery shouting of killing, the Longqi foot soldiers of the four armies, under the leadership of the generals, also rushed in, and with the help of the cavalry, they were more smooth.

It is probably because the adventure gene in his body has been activated, and he is already in the hinterland of the enemy camp, and there are many crises, but Liu Chengyou's mind is more sober, and his eyes reveal a rare paranoid and crazy color.

"Your Highness, when you rush to the north, assault in the direction of Luancheng, and before the Liao army completely reacts and organizes a strong resistance, spread the chaos and completely disrupt its army!" Xiang Xun followed closely by Liu Chengyou's side, quickly observed the surrounding situation, and decisively suggested to Liu Chengyou.

Commanding in battle, not Liu Chengyou's director, he is self-aware of this, at this time, there is no room for hesitation at all, after such a long time, Xiang Xunzhicai has long been recognized by Liu Chengyou, and he chooses to believe him.

Without hesitation, he ordered loudly: "Daxu is held high, the whole army will charge north, and all people and animals encountered will be killed, and no Liao camp will be drilled through, and no stop!" Kill! ”

When the order was issued, the horse army, which had already adjusted its formation, immediately started, slowly picked up, turned from slow to urgent, and galloped north. The infantry troops in the east soon received orders to follow the spread of the fire and attack northward.

In advance, the operational policy of this night attack had already been clearly communicated. Arson is the main thing, killing people is the supplement, maintaining the speed of the attack, not making any entanglement with the enemy, and disrupting the Liao camp is the first priority.

Liu Chengyou led the horse army to take the lead in the charge, and the commanders of the various armies led their troops to follow, and the execution was in place.

At first, I thought that they had been attacked by those "rebels" who did not want to die, but as the movement became louder and louder, the sound of killing became more and more intense, and those who were dizzy again noticed that something was unusual.
