Chapter 918: The Inheritance of the Decisive Battle of Song Liao (Final)
The fighting just now was fierce, but it didn't last long. It was only because the seed scripture was to lead people to turn back halfway, and they were all cavalry at extremely fast speed, so they didn't give time to Di Heming and other soldiers who wanted to support and respond in the rear, and they could only watch them quickly suppressed and defeated from a distance, and even the seed scripture was in danger several times, and it was almost difficult to save their lives.
This made the 6,000 soldiers of the Western Army who rushed up behind them very anxious, and they rushed over at the fastest speed without the urging of the three generals.
By the time they were suppressed by Gemetan, they had already appeared behind their own cavalry. Without any expression, the tacit understanding of fighting side by side for many years made the Western cavalry, who had been in a desperate situation, decisively make the most sensible and reasonable moves, and they all rode their horses and scattered, and at the same time their bodies were close to the horse's back, and they fell to the lowest place.
Sure enough, the bowstring in the rear sounded, and thousands of powerful arrows were poured towards the Liao army at the same time. In order to be able to get people back as soon as possible, almost everyone in the Western army who killed this time was equipped with bows and crossbows, and once they entered the firing range, they did not hesitate to release arrows to the enemy.
These arrows are naturally limited to the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, but to the other Liao troops, they are a great threat. The rain of arrows flew in, so frightened that they turned around and fled, and they didn't care to continue to attack the Song army. At the same time, their chaotic wandering also caused problems for the iron horsemen, who were not affected by the arrows, so that they could not rush out on the spot, but had to hide from their own robes.
At this time, it reflects that the Liao State is indeed not as good as it was at the beginning. If it is in its heyday, even if it encounters such a rain of arrows, these battle-hardened soldiers will not have the slightest fear of retreating, and will even inspire their strong fighting spirit to fight back against the rain of arrows. But now, this life-saving action gave the Western army officers and men an opportunity to withdraw and retreat, merge with the incoming foot soldiers, and then form a defensive formation.
At the same time, more than a dozen riders, under the leadership of Di Heming and Jiang Wukui, quickly found the location of the seed scripture, and Pegasus rushed to the rescue. At this time, the seed scripture was really at the critical juncture of life and death, and seeing that he couldn't win the horse, he was almost injured by the Liao general.
Seeing that the huge hammer was about to fall again, and the fallen seed scripture had not been dodged in time, although the distance was still far away, Di Heming couldn't take care of it, and immediately bent the bow and arrows, and the two feathered arrows came out like thunderbolts, shooting directly into the eyes of the Liao general. He also saw clearly that the other party was covered in armor, and if he shot elsewhere, it was almost not a threat, and he could only shoot at the face door that was exposed outside the helmet, and his eyes were the biggest weakness.
Di Heming is worthy of being the number one general in the Western Army, even if he is more than 200 steps apart, and there is a lot of interference from the Liao army in the middle, his two arrows still arrived in front of Ge Motan before the opponent dropped the hammer. If the other party is really determined to kill the seed scripture, then he will inevitably lose his life. And this is obviously what this Liao army general who consciously has the upper hand is unwilling to accept, so he immediately changed his move, and the sledgehammer in his hand changed from bombardment to sweeping, and narrowly smashed on two arrows, breaking them and scattering.
In fact, this is also thanks to Ge Motan who learned the lesson of being dodged by the seed scripture just now, and he didn't show his full strength, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to recruit to protect himself.
At the same time that the arrows flew out, the two generals of the Western Army had already urged their horses forward regardless of the urgency, and at the same time, they also secretly inserted their short knives into the horse's hips, which stimulated the horses under their crotch to rush at a faster speed, so that they ran a distance of two hundred paces in the blink of an eye, and killed the enemy before the next hammer fell.
Because of the need to retract the bow, Di Heming was obviously half a beat slower than Jiang Wukui in speed, so the latter should be the first to raise his knife and slash at the Liao general in front of him, while the latter did not have the slightest delay, and as soon as he bent down, he had already pulled up the seed scripture that was still lying on the ground, and then shook the reins and quickly turned the horse and walked back.
Although he was very worried about what Jiang Wukui would do when he faced the tower-like Liao, he also knew that the ultimate purpose of their visit was to save people, so he didn't have half a word of nonsense, so he could only choose to believe in his comrades-in-arms.
All these changes came too quickly, and even Ge Motan and the Liao soldiers around him failed to react in time, and when they calmed down again, the Song general, who should have been a fish under the knife, was actually taken back for a distance...... This made them extremely angry, and they all roared and quickly chased after them.
And Ge Motan's eyes were even more spewing fire, and in the angry scream, the sledgehammer had already come out in a row, and he quickly fought hard with Jiang Wukui, who was pestering him, for seven or eight moves. It was only at this time that Jiang Wukui knew the terrible Liao general in front of him, after these few moves, he felt that his arms were sore, and he was about to lose the knife in his hand, and the other party did not see any fatigue after several battles, and he was obviously much stronger than himself.
At the same time as secretly complaining in his heart, he had also decisively given birth to retreat, after swinging his knife again to block the other party's hammer, he rode his horse and jumped to the side, and at the same time he opened the distance, suddenly looked back, and waved his right hand, a cold light flew out, shooting directly at the Liao general who was just about to chase. He is not as good as Di Heming in archery, but he also has his own unique skills, within twenty steps, the flying knife can be called a hundred shots, and it is the opponent's face.
This was really a big surprise to Ge Motan, so that he could only be distracted and dodge, and also slowed down the speed of the war horse under his crotch, and made the other party pull away a lot of distance again. Seeing this, he was even more annoyed, and roared, and urged the horse to chase after him again. But this time, the speed of the Liaoguo horse, which he chose one out of a thousand, slowed down significantly, but after many fierce battles, it finally reached its limit.
Feeling that the enemy behind him was constantly being pulled away, Jiang Wukui's heart was relieved, and today he was finally shocked...... Before a dangerous word could come out of his heart, several iron horsemen in front of him had rushed over, and the knife in his hand was whistling and slashing, so that he could only slow down and parry. And at this moment, the horse under the crotch let out another long neigh, and suddenly its hind hooves softened, and it fell down with a bang.
In order to save people in time just now, he and Di Heming both stabbed the war horse and rushed over, at this time the war horse was bleeding too much, and finally it couldn't support it, not only did he fall, but also threw out Jiang Wukui, who was completely unprepared, and crashed into the Liao army iron cavalry in front of him.
These Liao cavalry have already been murderous, how can they let go of such an opportunity, and several weapons are coming!
Suddenly, the screams started, the blood burst out, and a famous fierce general in the Western Army died on the battlefield!
"Fourth Uncle Jiang......" The seed scripture that had already come back to his senses happened to see this sad scene, which made him let out an extremely sad cry. In front of him, Di Heming, who was riding his horse forward, also tensed suddenly, but then he gritted his teeth again, continued to urge the horse to rush forward, and quickly approached the battle formation of the Western Army in front. But his eyes were already red, and tears seemed to flicker.
When he saw all this happening in front of him, Zhang Bingyao, the general of the Western Army over there, looked blank. It's not that he doesn't feel heartache, but that he knows very well what he should do now, which is to hold everyone up, and then welcome them back. So during this period, he didn't even have a change in his voice, and still calmly commanded the more than 10,000 cavalry to fight with the Liao army that was constantly rushing over, and blocked the enemy's two waves of offensives.
At this time, Di Heming had already brought back the scriptures, and when they came closer, they quickly had soldiers and horses to stop the pursuing Liao army, and the horses that carried them all the way were exhausted at this time and fell down.
Di Heming turned around sharply at the moment he landed, holding the bow in his hand, shouting violently, and seven sharp arrows came out in succession, and he shot off the horse with the seven Xuanjia iron horsemen who were chasing the most. Even if it was an angry shot, the accuracy of these seven arrows was not bad at all, and they all hit the opponent's face.
This quick shot of the hand suppressed the arrogance of the Liao army and made everyone else stop. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Song army shot another burst of arrows, forcing back the enemy in front of them, and they decisively retreated.
At this time, the western army in the rear also began to move, and with a few orders from the planter, the army that had already formed a formation began to slowly press forward.
Since Di Heming and them were dispatched just now, the Seed Master Dao and the Seed Master have been paying attention to the changes in the two armies. Now that the people have been rescued, and the morale has actually reversed, they are no longer just stubborn, but they are going to fight the Liao army again.
At this time, a strange rhythm of drums sounded again in the camp of the Liao army, which had not moved just now, and a black flag hunting wave was waved above.
Seeing this, the face of the seed master was even tighter: "The Liao army is going to be on the side!" β
Sure enough, at the moment when his words fell, the Liao army, which had been fighting and rushing before, quickly stopped and retreated, and allowed the Western Army to converge on the two roads, and at the same time, it was also a gathering of several people, and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry was no longer at the front of the army, but was wrapped in layers of troops, and quickly disappeared.
The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is not only an arrow weapon used by the Liao army to charge into battle and destroy the city, but also a cold arrow-like existence. Since the tactic just now was unsuccessful, let's change it.
At this time, the two armies retreated separately and quickly gathered in formation, but the distance was much wider. Between the two armies, thousands of corpses of soldiers on both sides were poured down, blood was pouring everywhere, and the undead people were struggling to get up, which was really shocking to watch.
But everyone knew that the calm of the moment was only the calm before the storm, and the battle that followed was bound to be even more fierce than before. The Battle of Song Liao is about to start a new decisive battle.
In the rear of the Song army, in the Chinese army camp, many people were already dumbfounded, and they didn't even know what they should do......
