Chapter 447 The mysterious Great Song Iron Horse
In the expectation of the party and the vigilance of the Liao people, the Great Song Dynasty gathered a total of 200,000 troops on the Song-Liao border, and the scale was almost the same as that of the Northern Expedition that year!
The defenders of the Liao Feihuling could even see the smoke and dust raised high by the stone gate of the Great Song Dynasty, and the neighing of thousands of horses, and the sound made the war horses in the army uneasy to dig their hooves.
Yelu Dadan, the general guarding the border pass, hurriedly grabbed the scout's collar and said, "How far is the Song army from the Song-Liao border Huatazipu, and what is the situation?" ”
The scout was already frightened by the general with a hideous expression in front of him, and said in a panic: "The Song army is in camp for ten miles, the flags are flying, the people are neighing and the horses are roaring, and the sound of killing is shaking the wilderness!" But there is no trend of going north......"
Yelu Dadan pointed to the smoke and dust in the distance and said, "This is called no northward trend?!" It's only one meal away from my Flying Fox Ridge! ”
The scout looked at the scarlet gums of the general in front of him and said tremblingly: "The Song army is actually fighting between the two armies, and it is impossible to enter the Fan I Liao Dynasty north......"
"What?!"
Yelu Dadan suddenly threw away the scout in his hand and frowned, "How is it possible? Is it really a military exercise? ”
Wang Xu, the supervisor on the side, said with a smile: "The general is too worried, the Song people advocate Confucianism, even if they move north, there will be payment documents, this is a common practice!" ”
Yelu Dadan touched the beard on his chin: "This is reasonable, but General Ben has to go and inspect it himself!" ”
Wang Su was surprised: "The general guarding Feihuling must not leave his post without permission, Your Majesty has an explanation, the Song people do not violate the border, and my Liao Dynasty must not take the initiative to provoke." ”
Yelu Dadan said with a smile: "My Khitan iron horse comes and goes like the wind, even if the Song people find out, they can travel thousands of miles, and the four-legged horse is much faster than the two-legged Song people, how can you understand that the Han people like you can understand that the general will personally lead the white horse to explore the future!" ”
Wang Su was about to say something but was interrupted by Yelu Dadan waving his hand, seeing him turn over and get on his horse and shout twice and lead his soldiers to disappear into the barracks, Wang Su frowned and said: "The courage of the horseman!" ”
But he wasn't too worried, after all, Yelu Dadan was a famous fierce general in the Liao Dynasty, and even if he was trapped, he could break through at this distance.
At this time, guarding the Flying Fox Ridge is the best way, in case the Song people suddenly move north, and it happens that the commander is no longer camping, it will be a great disaster, if this Yelu Dadan is not a royal family, Wang Su must report to Yelu Zongzhen and accuse him of dereliction of duty!
At this time, Yelu Dadan was in charge of these, for him to check the enemy's situation was the most important thing, not to mention that he had always felt that the army of the Song people was often vulnerable, and he would personally lead a hundred horsemen to investigate, and there would never be any problems.
Flying Fox Ridge to the south is not far from the flower tower shop, here is already the boundary of the Great Song Dynasty, a horse Pingchuan has no danger to defend, only a few lonely walled cities can slightly block the iron hooves of the cavalry, Yelu Dadan with his iron cavalry quietly bypassed the military shop, there was no Song army to intercept.
This made him full of confidence, and it seemed that the Song people were just showing ridiculous military might on the Song-Liao border......
The Khitan horse with the wind, frost and snow was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the outside of the camp of the Song army, and the camp tent in the distance was already close at hand, Yelu Dadan and his subordinates showed a sneering expression, it seems that the Song people are still unbearable to fight, and even the flying horses for patrol are not set up, so everyone touched the vicinity of the military camp.
Lying on the small mound, the scene in the open space made Yelu Dadan terrified, and the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty was divided into two groups, attacking and killing each other, on one side were cavalry like himself, and on the other side were foot soldiers in heavy armor.
The huge long knife, the strange armor that reflected the dazzling light, all showed its hideousness, although the long knife was wooden, but the huge proportions and the momentum of wielding it like a mountain and a wall were chilling, if they were all replaced with the hundred refining long knives of the Great Song Dynasty...... Yelu Dadan subconsciously touched his neck.
It's an exaggeration, but it can definitely be a weapon for slaughtering cavalry!
The cavalry and the foot soldiers collided together, the smoke and dust were filled, the sound of killing was bursting, and the appearance of the Song army fighting bravely made Yelu Dadan feel that if he faced such a large army, there was basically no chance of winning, and there were actually only two things to fight on the battlefield, one was weapons and equipment, and the other was the will to fight.
Now the will to fight embodied by the Song army is as hard as steel, as difficult to shake as a mountain, and both sides are almost fighting with all their might, and the white path on the body represents a wound!
The subordinates on the side had already begun to clench their fists and let out a low roar, such a scene was indeed exciting, and Yelu Dadan had to admit that he was also affected by this emotion, sweating profusely.
After watching for a long time, the cavalry struggled forward, but the foot soldiers refused to take a step back, and the stalemate suddenly changed in the huge drum beat, and the two armies retreated sharply and reformed into formations.
It seemed that it was over, Yelu Dadan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, adjusting the excitement just now, but then there was a thunderous sound, and the rumbling sound shook the earth, making the soles of Yelu Dadan's feet squatting on the ground numb.
He was all too familiar with this kind of sound, it would only be made when a large number of cavalry and horses were galloping, and it was on the way to charge!
As he looked into the distance, a cavalry in special armor suddenly appeared in the smoke and dust, and the armor they wore was so dazzling, it was as strong as a copper wall, and it was round and close to the body.
Yelu Dadan really wanted to get closer and observe, but was hugged by his own soldiers......
This cavalry was not equipped with ordinary weapons, but a very long spear, even longer than ordinary spears, when raised like a forest, after accelerating to a certain speed, the spear suddenly moved forward and clamped under the armpit, and a hideous monster appeared in front of Yelu Dadan's eyes.
For a moment, Yelu Dadan even felt that this cavalry was rushing towards him, and he actually had the shameful idea of escaping!
The dummies made of wooden stakes have already been placed on the open space, and the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty raised the shield in their hands to achieve maximum protection, and the other hand pierced the spear, and the tooth-aching sound appeared, the thick wooden stake was pierced, and the knight on the horse shook slightly and pulled the spear diagonally out of the wooden man's body for the next attack.
Skillful skills are like Khitan warriors who grew up on horseback, at this time, if they do not pull the gun diagonally, they will either give up the blade in their hands, or they will fall down with the spear, no matter which one they are, they will be dead on the battlefield......
It was only then that Jerodandan discovered that each horse was not covered with a colorful blanket, but a hard and thick waistcoat!
This is very demanding for horses, even Khitan horses are difficult to achieve such a large load, no wonder the horses of the Song people are very slow at the beginning of the charge, and then there are so many charges without hesitation.
Yelu Dadan woke up suddenly, this is not in line with the characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty horses!
Just when he was puzzled, angry shouts sounded from his side: "Liao thieves snooped on my Great Song Dynasty military exercises, and their crimes should be punished!" ”
It turned out that there was already a secret whistle touching his side, Yelu Dadan secretly scolded himself for being careless, and after a whistle, he led his subordinates to turn over and get on their horses and prepare to escape from the hell in front of him, the impression left by the Great Song cavalry on him was too terrible, and he must tell His Majesty this important news!
But at this time, it was too late to go again, Yelu Dadan's hundreds of horses had just started to charge, and they were surrounded by the Great Song cavalry that was intercepted in front and back, and they could only break through the siege and escape through a gap!
At this time, Yelu Dadan was not afraid of being exposed, and roared loudly: "Break through, you must rush out and tell Your Majesty what you have seen and heard today!" ”
