Chapter 1097: For the Sorghum River

Humans have a natural fear of explosions, such as thunder, and the closer they get, the more scared they become, and they even have to hide under the covers.

When the huge explosion came not far away, tens of thousands of Liao troops were stunned.

People are in a daze, but the war horses are neighing.

"Pacify the war horses!"

Pacification didn't do much for the horses.

Shen An gathered half of the gunpowder that accompanied him and buried it in more than 20 large pits, causing the largest explosion of this era in one fell swoop.

"I can't control it!"

The horses are going berserk.

General Liao shouted: "Then rush at the Song people, rush up!" ”

Oh, yes! Since the war horse is crazy, let's rush!

Ten thousand horses galloped, with impatience, and moved forward.

"Crossbow Bolt ......"

Countless crossbows were aimed at the sky.

"Put!"

Countless crossbow arrows rose into the air, and then a large number of Liao troops on the road fell.

The follow-up cavalry quickly filled this gap, and in front of it was the array of the Song army, and rushing forward was hope.

One of the horses suddenly stumbled and fell violently.

One after another, the war horses fell one after another.

The follow-up people were wondering, and someone shouted: "Those shameless Song Jun, they buried the spikes!" ”

it!

Someone looked down and saw a bright color on the ground by the light of the fire, and then the war horse under his crotch flew out at once.

Who got this?

Old Yin Bi!

Countless bolts rose into the air again.

Three rounds later, the Liao army, which had fallen countless of its comrades along the way, finally collided.

The spear is broken, and in the end, it is the axe hand who will solve the problem.

"Axeman ......"

But the king stood there like a lighthouse, and he held up his sword.

"Tiger!"

The sword flashed, and countless bloody arrows shot out.

"Prepare ......"

It is not something that Shen An wants to see with a knife and axe hand carrying the impact of the enemy army, and there are tens of thousands of enemy troops, and it is impossible for a knife and axe hand to block it from beginning to end.

A group of sergeants in the back were spinning with clay pots.

"Throw!"

The crockpot flew out of his hand, over the array of swordsmen and axes, and into the middle of the enemy group.

"Axeman...... Submit! ”

Boom Boom Boom!

The sound of explosions, the burst of firelight......

The axemen lowered their heads, and something struck on their armor.

And those Liao troops were miserable, and a large area of the front was emptied.

The axemen were given a respite, but the king looked up ahead.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the Liao army was rapidly regrouping.

A wave of crossbow arrows flew over, and a scream was heard from behind.

The crossbow bolts are constantly striking at the enemy, and at this moment it is a contest of the will of both sides to see who can't withstand it first.

"The enemy is coming!"

In the firelight, the figure of the enemy rider appeared faintly, and those hideous creatures were gradually approaching.

Pike!

Wang Qi's eyes shrank, and he shouted, "Watch out for the spear!" ”

The most feared thing about heavy armor is the spear, and the cavalry uses the speed of the impact to stab the spear, and those heavy armor will become decorations.

"Crossbow Bolt...... Put! ”

At the critical moment, the crossbowmen came up in a group and directly approached to release arrows.

The Liao army that rushed forward fell one piece, but the one behind still collided.

The king swung his sword sideways and cut off a Liao soldier from his horse, but a terrible howl came from the array.

More than a dozen knife and axe men were stabbed by spears and knocked away in an instant.

"Block!"

The king was not moved, but continued to swing his sword.

"It's tragic!"

Han Qi watched such a fight, and only felt that those military books were all on paper.

"The enemy army is menacing, and the follow-up swordsmen are afraid that it will be difficult to stop!"

The onslaught of the enemy forces in front of them is like the waves of the sea, and the axe hands are like reefs.

The waves crashed against each other, but the reef stood still.

The corpses of men and horses in front of them piled up, gradually growing taller.

Shen An was waiting.

Half an hour had passed, and the axemen were still wielding their knives, but it was already the second batch.

A civil official glanced at Mu Ran's Shen An and muttered, "Is this a great success?" ”

The axemen rotated, but the casualties were increasing.

"Anbei ......"

Han Qi couldn't help it anymore.

Shen An shook his head, "It's still early, the time is not right." ”

The momentum of the enemy army is still there, and this is not a good opportunity to counterattack.

"Our trip is not to keep Baozhou City, but to give the Liao people a blow in the field and let them know...... Even if they are out of the cover of the city, the Great Song can still defeat them. ”

In order to recapture the land of Yanyun, the Great Song Dynasty must go on a northern expedition.

And the Northern Expedition represents the beginning of the Great War, a Great War of various modes.

And the hardest thing is the field battle.

Having lost the cover of the city, the infantry of the Great Song Dynasty had to be able to withstand the cavalry onslaught of the Liao army and win the battle.

This was the foundation of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty.

Shen An said that he would go on a northern expedition, but not many people in the DPRK responded.

In everyone's opinion, unless the Great Song infantry can defeat the Liao cavalry in the field, the Northern Expedition is just a joke and empty talk.

The defeat of the Gaoliang River was not far away, and the Great Song Dynasty could not withstand the second defeat.

Yesterday and now, two major battles broke out between the Song and Liao armies in a row, and both of them were cavalry attacking foot soldiers in the field.

Who wins and who loses?

The foot soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty may be able to stop the Liao army?

Will the defeat of the Sorghum River come again?

Ahead, Wang was covered in blood, he heard the wheezing sound around him, and knew that every swing of the knife under his command was a challenge to the limit.

But the axe hand can't retreat!

With a single sword, he cut off the rushing Liao army and his men and horses, and shouted: "For the sake of the Sorghum River!" ”

The Sorghum River, that was a big defeat that the warriors did not want to mention.

In that battle, the Song army was strong and surrounded Youzhou City and stormed. The ambitious Zhao Guangyi felt that the land of Yanyun was his own, and when the Liao army reinforcements came, he started a big battle near the Gaoliang River.

The two sides have been attacking and defending each other, but the Song army has been attacking Youzhou City for many days, and the morale has been declining. Zhao Guangyi didn't know what to do, and he was still triumphantly preparing to defeat the Liao reinforcements......

One night, Yelu Hugo led an army to attack the Song army, and in the dark, they held torches and looked at the number of people.

The battle was fierce, and both sides refused to retreat.

At this moment, the defenders in the city opened the city gate and lined up, and the soldiers and civilians shouted in unison, and the power was amazing.

The Song army encountered the enemy on many sides, and the command was chaotic in the night, and finally there was a rout.

What followed was a big defeat, which ruined the future defeat of the Great Song Dynasty.

Since then, the warriors have gradually been suppressed and turned into thieves and armies.

On that night, Da Song ruined his national fortunes.

And on this night......

With tears in their eyes, countless people raised their heads and shouted: "For the sorghum river!" ”

Let's defeat the Liao army and reverse the national fortunes of this Great Song Dynasty!

"Axeman!"

"There is no advance or retreat!"

In the midst of the cheers of the crowd, the sword and axe hands of the Song army actually launched a counterattack.

This was something Shen An hadn't expected.

In his plan, the counterattack should have waited another quarter of an hour...... When the Liao army could not attack for a long time, the Song army counterattacked comprehensively, just like the battle of the Gaoliang River that year, and defeated the Liao army.

But just like Jeruxiugo back then, the sword and axe men were full of blood, and they launched a counterattack without waiting for the order.

Axemen never follow orders, because they have difficulty moving, and once they meet the enemy, they will not die and cannot retreat...... So either stay put, or you can only move forward.

What should I do if the axe man walks alone?

Drinking makes them stop?

For a time, the Chinese army was in chaos.

"Do it!"

Shen An pulled out his long knife and shouted, "Throw it out!" ”

The trebuchet, which has been holding back, is powerful.

Countless sparks streaked through the air, past the advancing axemen, and smashed into the middle of the enemy.

The sound of the dense explosions was almost indistinguishable, the fire oil bombs shattered, and the fire flew ......

Every explosion site was surrounded by hell, and the Liao soldiers and horses fell to the ground screaming.

And fire oil bombs, although less lethal than gunpowder cans, are more cruel.

The centaurs who were stuck in the flames were screaming frantically, and gradually the flames rose, and a humanoid torch was blazing.

"Crossbow Bolt...... Put! ”

At the critical moment, the tireless crossbowmen came with another volley.

"Tiger!"

The swordsmen and axes in front swung their swords in unison, and the Liao army, which was slowing down in front, was cut off their horses, and then there was movement behind them.

"We are also warriors, and we are not far behind when we kill the enemy!"

A general roared at Shen An, saliva splashing on his face.

Shen An wiped the saliva from his face and asked, "Do the spearmen have the courage to attack?" ”

This is the commander of the pikemen. When the enemy charges, the pikemen are cannon fodder, bearing the burden of blocking the first wave of enemy attacks and slowing down the enemy's forces.

The axemen then took over the battlefield, and the pikemen retreated to the rear, ready to fill the holes in the line.

But now they can't help it.

"Yes." The general pestle held his spear and shouted: "If you can't win, you will die in battle!" ”

Shen An tilted his head slightly, and then nodded heavily.

Morale is up!

In the past, when facing the Liao army, the Song army did not seek merit, but sought no fault......

The ultimate goal of the countless means in the past few years is to boost the morale of the people.

Now the morale is here.

Morale is like a rainbow!

With tears in his eyes, Han Qi muttered, "This Great Song ...... Get up! ”

"Get out of the way!"

The pikemen are coming.

They took the place of the axe men and rushed to the front.

"Thorn!"

The general rushed forward, and the spear stabbed fiercely and accurately.

The Liao cavalry, which had lost its speed, slashed in vain, and then fell off their horses by spears.

"Kill him!"

A Liao army fell off his horse, and he roared and pounced.

Two spearmen stepped forward and stabbed left and right.

The Liao army swung a knife, cut off a gun shaft, and then cut off the arm of the Song army in front of him with a single sword.

The arm was broken, but Song Jun didn't hesitate at all, and lowered his head and bumped into it.

The Liao army didn't expect him to be so brave and was knocked to the ground, and Song Jun pounced, opened his mouth, and bit down hard.

"Ah......h

The miserable howl was like a wolf, and the Liao army struck the back of the Song army sergeant on his body with both hands, and it made a bang.

But the sergeant did not let go.

"Get out of the way!"

After hearing the shout, Sergeant Song looked up and smiled with something like a pipe in his mouth.

The comrades who rushed up stabbed the Liao army in the chest with a shot, and then shouted: "Stand back!" ”

"Kill! Fight the enemy! ”

In the midst of the rush of blood, a bamboo tube was suddenly thrown down from the top of the hot air balloon, and the people below picked it up and handed it to Han Qi in a hurry.

Han Qi opened, "The enemy army is coming from the right flank of our army...... This is a sneak attack. ”

"It's a dying throe!"

Shen An took it and took a look at it, and said, "The crossbowmen are ready, the cavalry is ready......"

This is the time for a general offensive.

The enemy troops on the right flank did not know that their actions had long been discovered by the Song army, and some people saw a fire head in the sky, but they did not know what it was.

"What's that?"

"I don't know, isn't it a ghost fire?"

They gradually approached, and the Liao general couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the Song army was unprepared, and pointed his long knife at the front and shouted: "Kill the enemy!" ”

In the dark night, the Song army could not detect the sneak attack, once it was broken in...... The tide of battle would turn in an instant.

This was his means of winning in defeat, and he believed that the Song army would not be able to discover his sneak attack, and this sneak attack would be successful.

"Da Liao will win!"

……

The third is sent, good night!
