Chapter 29: Night Battle

The wind blew away the dark clouds, revealing a sky full of stars. Although there is no moon, it is no longer the appearance of reaching out and not seeing five fingers. The wind was still cold, blowing on the face like a knife. The night was quiet, only the distant firelight lit up half of the sky.

Shi Daqing stopped and called Sun Tao and said, "You take a thousand soldiers and horses, go around to the west of the village, and hold the intersection to the death." Remember, no matter how the Khitans charge, they must not be allowed to pass! If you are crushed by the Khitans, you are the only one who asks! ”

Sun Tao hesitated for a moment and said: "Dianzhi, the Khitan are all cavalry, so how can my infantry stop it at night?" ”

Shi Daqing said: "We are prepared, but the Khitan people don't know anything. To be prepared for the unprepared, how not to win? You only need to lead the troops to guard the road to the west, and I will bring my own troops to fight the Khitans!" ”

Sun Tao also wanted to shirk, but Wu Han on the side said: "General, there is a raging fire, and the Khitans must be killing people and setting fire there." It's not easy for you to pity the poor people, send troops quickly, don't delay here! ”

Shi Daqing said: "When we are soldiers and eat food, how can we be afraid of the enemy without fighting!" Sun Tao, the Khitans ran away, but you ask! ”

Sun Tao was a little annoyed by what Wu Han said, and wanted to refute it, but seeing Shi Da's changed voice, he had to forget it. The fork hand promised, and went to point soldiers.

Shi Daqing sighed secretly. There is no way, the generals in the army are like this now, when it comes to wartime, they are afraid of difficulties, and they often flee when facing the enemy. In fact, the Song army was stronger than the Khitans in terms of equipment and numbers, but it just couldn't fight with all its might.

After instructing Sun Tao, Shi Daqing said to Li Jia again: "You also bring 1,300 soldiers and horses to guard the rest of the intersections of Daliushu Village." I took 300 cavalry with me to the village to fight the Khitans. Remember, I don't need your help, just guard the intersection and don't let the Khitans go. ”

Li Jia said: "Dianzhi, I heard that there are nearly 2,000 people in the Khitan, and you have 300 soldiers and horses, how can you kill them?" ”

Shi Daqing said: "He has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, scattered in the village, and he can't be gathered for a while. I led the cavalry to kill from the main road, and the Khitans would definitely be unprepared. As long as they are messed up, the battle is decided. Remember, be sure to guard the intersections and don't let them go! ”

Li Jiacha made a promise and ordered the rest of the soldiers and horses.

Shi Daqing took a deep breath, picked up his spear, plugged in the iron shovel, and turned over on his horse. With 300 cavalry, he went along the main road to Daliushu Village. Until they reached the entrance of the village, they could see the Khitans walking around from a distance, so they stopped their horses.

At this time, the wind was strong, the village was chaotic, and the Khitans did not find the arriving Song army. Most of them surrounded the pond, killing the escaped Song people and robbing them of their belongings. A small number of them are in the village, searching everywhere.

Estimating that Sun Tao had already gone around to the west of the village, Shi Daqing shouted violently: "Sons, we eat the emperor's grain, and we should be loyal to the saint!" Today, the Khitans are in front of you, and they will fight to the death with me! Those who fight hard to kill the enemy will be rewarded! If he is cowardly and retreats, he will not be spared! Kill! ”

Raising his spear, he hurried his horse and rushed straight towards the village.

The three hundred cavalry were demoralized by Shi Daqing's words, and they raised their swords and guns one after another, and followed behind him.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Shi Daqing just picked up the spear in his hand, and picked up a Khitan soldier standing at the entrance of the village. He casually pulled out an iron shovel and smashed it on the head of another Khitan soldier. With a loud shout, he rushed straight into the middle of the village.

The Khitans were a little frightened by the sudden Song army, and they looked at the village one after another. At this time, the three hundred cavalry rushed straight to the crowded place, and killed anyone they saw. Before the Khitans could react, they were scattered and fled for their lives.

Xiao Hu was drinking with Ah Yan and the others, and when he heard the chaotic shouting outside, he said to his own soldiers: "Go out and see, what's the matter?" ”

The soldiers promised and left the inn. When I looked up, I saw a big man riding on a horse under the starlight, holding a spear, and rushed straight over. was about to ask the identity of the person who came, but was picked up on the chest with the spear in Shi Daqing's hand and thrown aside.

The pro-soldiers on the side were shocked, rushed into the inn like flying, and said loudly: "The general is not good, the Song army is coming outside!" ”

Xiao Hu saw it and jumped up suddenly. Grabbing his steel knife standing next to him, he rushed to the door, and glanced out at the door. At this time, the cavalry of the Song army had already rushed over with Shi Daqing, and the Khitans on the street were killed.

Xiao Hu glanced at the steel knife and said, "Sure enough, it was Song Jun who killed it!" A few of you, immediately go to ride a horse and get a knife, and fight with the Song people. I went to the pond to gather troops. Remember, take care of our horses and don't be taken away by the Song people! ”

Ah Wu and others crossed their hands and promised. He went out of the inn through the back door and went to his nearby lodgings to lead the horses.

Xiao Hu walked out of the inn, bypassed the street, and went from the small alley to the pond. I saw the cavalry of the Song army crisscrossing the Khitan crowd, cutting and picking spears with firelight, and the momentum was like a rainbow for a while.

Xiao Hu saw the opportunity, rushed out of the shadows, and slashed the rushing Song army off his horse with a single sword. He turned over and got on his horse, raised his knife and shouted: "Sons, don't panic!" Come to my side and fight the Song people! I rode a horse in the village and cut down these Song people! ”

The Khitans who were running around had the backbone, and they all gathered around Xiao Hujian and formed a formation. Some cut down the cavalry of the Song army, seized the horses, and protected Xiao Hujian. It doesn't take much effort, but it is concentrated.

The Song army did not have many cavalry, and as soon as the Khitans were concentrated, they had no choice but to attack outside the crowd. Xiao Hujian led his subordinates and slowly walked to the middle avenue and walked towards the village. Their horses were tied to the inn outside the village, and they had to go there to ride their horses so that they could fight with the Song people.

Shi Daqing led dozens of cavalry from east to west to kill the village. When he saw the outside of the village, he turned his horse and came back. Daliushu Village is not big, and Xiao Hujian, who saw the head of the village from a distance, is leading a large team here. When he shouted, he led the troops to meet him.

When he saw Shi Daqing, Xiao Hu knew that this was tonight's leader. Squinted slightly, picked up the steel knife in his hand, and greeted him. In just a few moments, the two collided. Shot and knife, fight.

Shi Daqing was far from poor, and the steel gun in his hand only stabbed Xiao Hujian's vital places. Xiao Hu saw that he was blocking with a steel knife, a little struggling, and couldn't help but feel anxious. If he is entangled by this Song general, the brigade will be scattered, and there will be more luck tonight. Fighting at night, and not setting up a military formation, the number of people is of little significance. Unorganized is far from being an opponent of an organized army, and it is impossible to quickly go to the outside of the village to ride a horse, how to fight the Song army.

Dozens of cavalry saw Shi Daqing's bravery, and their morale was greatly boosted for a while. Shouting loudly, he rushed towards the Khitans crowded in the street. The horses rushed forward at high speed, but in an instant, the Khitan formation was thrown into chaos. At this time, the rest of the cavalry of the Song army came from the pond and took advantage of the situation to rush and kill. As soon as the formation of the Khitans was disorganized, the advantage of the cavalry was revealed, and they came and went in the crowd.

Xiao Hu couldn't help but feel very anxious when he saw the soldiers around him, some of whom were knocked to the ground by Song saber guns, and some were trampled by horses and wailing on the ground. However, the Song general in front of him was full of divine power, skilled in swords and guns, and he couldn't get rid of it. Ah Yan and the others, who went to fetch the horses, didn't know what was going on, so they didn't come yet, and they were about to return to the sky and be weak. It's been a long time, but I'm afraid that tonight will be over.
