"In!" Du Blowhorn replied loudly.

Only the Chinese army tooth soldiers remained on the fort, and the left and right army tooth barracks joined the infantry army with Lu Mingyu and Luo Xianshi respectively. These more than 500 tooth soldiers were all selected and trained by Zhao Xingde himself, and at this moment, without hesitation, more than 500 thunder throwers with armor on their armor stood up in an uproar.

"The fort is yours." Zhao Xingde ordered, "Defend to the end!" Before Du Fujiao could answer, he turned to Ma Rui and said, "Let's lead the cavalry to charge." He said to Gao Su again, "Avoid the front with artillery fire and bombard the enemy's support with all your might!" ”

"Yes!" Ma Rui and Gao Su all agreed loudly. According to common sense in the army, it is most taboo to defend the enemy's siege to the death, even if the enemy is outnumbered, but there is a glimmer of possibility, the general must constantly organize men and horses to counterattack, and even experience the arrows himself, so as to inspire the morale of his own army, dampen the morale of the enemy, so that the enemy can not calmly attack our army. Therefore, although the generals looked gloomy, none of them dissuaded them.

Zhao Xingde took the reins of the war horse from his own soldiers, rode the war horse, and he gently turned the horse's head to overlook the artillery barracks. The cavalry of the Liao army was wave after wave, as if it was an angry tide, and the outer defense line of the artillery fortress was struggling to support. Seeing the general get on his horse, the nearby Song troops raised their heads one after another. More than 1,000 cavalry of the Baoyi Army turned over the saddle and mounted their horses, erected their horse lances, and waited for the commander to give an order, and then they killed them together.

Zhao Xingde looked around at the army and said loudly: "Raise my flag!" The soldiers took out a flag embroidered with the word Zhao from their arms, tied it to the horse lance, and just raised it high. was grazed by a stray arrow in an oblique thorn, "Follow me!" Zhao Xingde pulled out a horizontal knife in his right hand and said loudly, "Kill the Liao thief!" With his left hand, he lowered the curtain attached to the helmet. The bronze mask glowed with golden light, but Zhao Xingde's eyes were cold, and he shouted loudly, he lifted the reins of his horse, and led the cavalry to rush out from the counterattack road set aside in advance by the fort.

More than 1,000 cavalry followed closely behind the commander's banner, carefully controlling the war horses through the winding road. This road is narrow, there are barracks on both sides, the general flag of the commander is familiar to the Baoyi soldiers, the Song army on both sides can see it clearly, and the general personally went out to counterattack the Liao army.

Although the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, the habit of inheriting five generations in the army, the soldiers loved the generals to visit Yashi in person, and even respected the decisive victory against the generals. There are a number of generals in the Song army, such as Yang Yanqing, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others, all of whom are skilled in bows and horses, and brave. Seeing that the commander personally rushed into battle, the soldiers on the camp shouted like a tsunami, "Baoyi wins!" "Baoyi Wansheng!" "Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!" The cheers rose wave after wave like the tide of the sea. "Handsome Wansheng!" The morale of the soldiers who turned their legs and stomachs was also shocked.

"General,......, didn't you run away, did you?" Some will be skeptical.

"Phew, you pickled thing, General Zhao won't run away if he dies!" Qian Shen scolded, his eyes full of disdain.

Because of the shortage of officers in the state and county battalions, Zhao Xingde had to transfer elites from the Baoyi Army to enrich them. These days, every day with those states and counties who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are full of thoughts to go back to support their families, Qian Shen feels as if he is stuck in a bottomless quagmire. At this moment, seeing the commander personally go into battle, he was like a retired war horse hearing the war drums of the charge again, and the blood all over his body couldn't help but boil. His eyes widened as he watched the cavalry rush out of the camp like a whirlwind, and shouted, "Great handsome! The shock made people's ears ring.

The veterans of the Baoyi Army shouted like crazy, which greatly boosted the morale of the state and county soldiers who were originally weak.

"Whew-" The sound of the wind and the sound of whizzing arrows breaking through the air swept in Zhao Xingde's ears, he crouched tightly on the back of his horse, and a group of men and horses rushed out of the camp, and his eyes suddenly opened up. "Kill!" Zhao Xingde shouted, the war horse jumped forward, and the blade went straight to the enemy horse.

The cavalry of the Liao army was caught off guard, and the knife was slashing at the neck, and the head and blood rushed to the sky. Zhao Xingde was full of fighting intent. "Kill!" He let out a loud shout, and the drops of blood on the blade fell, dripping heartily. When a general comes to the battlefield in person, he puts himself on the balance between life and death. Either you die or I die. Courage, boldness, and luck are indispensable. Kill the enemies one by one, and cut off the heads one by one. When the courage of the army is brave, it is time to fight with his life, and the lupine towel is just a joke to talk and laugh and destroy the enemy.

The commander made him brave and fierce, and the subordinate cavalry all had great morale, and rushed into the cavalry of the Liao army like a tiger driving sheep, slashing with guns and knives, and killing a bloody road. The cavalry of the Liao army was besieging the periphery of the fort, some jumped off the war horse, and the formation of the horse was also extremely chaotic, and seven or eight of the ten horsemen were opening their bows and arrows, and they were suddenly counterattacked by the cavalry of the Song army, and they were suddenly defeated and retreated in all directions. The Song army's defense line finally got a chance to breathe, and the Song army, which was struggling to support, saw the enemy's retreat, and suddenly thundered with joy, like a mountain roaring tsunami.

Ma Yuan, Jia Yuanzhen and other officers took the opportunity to shout: "Protect the territory and the people, and swear to kill the Liao thieves!" ”

For the strong soldiers from the state and county, defending their homes and relatives is a more tangible goal than expelling the northern captives and returning the saints. After the Liao army entered the Koukou, they burned, killed and looted everywhere, which made people smell and change. The rich have fled, and the poor have been displaced. Orders from the Prime Minister's Mansion, from the state capital and county government, and from the state school and county school, collected the people who had nothing to rely on from the fields, from the tea gardens, from the workshops, and from the schools, like a trickling stream converging into a great river, all the way to the battlefield full of dangers. Many Confucian scholars from the science society were appointed as military officers, and the only thing Ding Zhuang could understand was the four words "protect the territory and secure the people" repeated over and over again. "Only by repelling the Liao thieves can you live a stable life!" In the hearts of many Ding Zhuang, "protecting the territory and the people" is the only righteousness that can be understood.

"Protect the territory and the people, swear to kill the thieves!"

"Protect the territory and the people, swear to kill the thieves!"

The banner of the word "Zhao", which was stained with a lot of blood, fluttered high, and Zhao Xingdelema turned around and raised his knife towards the soldiers on the barracks. At this moment, countless Baoyi soldiers and state and county soldiers were extremely excited, and they all shouted loudly together, "Great handsome Wansheng!" "Handsome Wansheng!" Many people thought they were going to be trampled to death by the Liao soldiers just now, but now they saw that the commander of the army was brave and the cavalry of their army was so powerful, they cried excitedly, and their morale surged to the extreme.

From beginning to end, only a small part of the outer Song army engaged the enemy, and the officers encouraged those soldiers behind the formation to shout the military horn loudly with all their strength, although it could not hurt the Liao cavalry dozens or hundreds of steps away, but the morale of the Song army itself was condensed because of this. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the officers hurriedly filled the fresh force in front of the fort, sent the dead and wounded soldiers down, and re-consolidated the defensive line.

"Prepare-" Gao Su looked nervous, looking at the Liao soldiers who had regathered in the distance, "Open the cannon—"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

With the command of the gun commander, more than a dozen cannons ignited the fuse.

The Liao army suffered a loss, and reacted extremely quickly, and almost a moment later, a general concentrated two thousand cavalry, and swooped down on the cavalry of the Zhao and Song armies with great momentum. Once entangled by the enemy, I am afraid that it will be the end of fighting to the death. In the large array of infantry troops in the distance, the hearts of the generals of the left and right armies of the Baoyi Army were hanging in their throats, Lu Mingyu looked at that side intently, eager to lead the troops to kill immediately, but he didn't hear the war drums of the marching army, so he could only stand still. He resisted the urge to turn around and look at the handsome flag of the word "Yue". The military discipline of the Zhenguo Army, those who turn back on the battlefield will be killed, and the Baoyi Left Army is now temporarily combined with the Zhenguo Army into a large array, even if Lu Mingyu is the commander, he will not dare to defy the law.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The dark and heavy cannonballs whistled towards the Liao army in the distance.

"Let's go!" Zhao Xingde looked back at the panicked Liao cavalry, flicked his horse's head, and retreated into the camp with the cavalry without a fight. The cavalry of the Baoyi Army was outnumbered, but relying on the artillery forts and roads extending in all directions, and with the cooperation of artillery bombardment, they maneuvered from the inner line like a ghost, and they all fought hard to kill the enemy, and the morale of the Liao army was stagnant, and there was no longer the arrogance of the Song army just now. The cavalry of the Baoyi army became more and more brave the more they fought, and they were killed later, the people were bloody people, and the horses were bloody horses, and they still kept attacking from all directions, stirring up the chaos of the Liao army's offensive, and later, as soon as the cavalry of this side appeared, the Song army guarding the artillery fortress was thunderous with joy, and the momentum rose sharply.

"Damn, what kind of medicine did the Nanban cavalry take?" Su Butai scolded in annoyance.

After the Song cavalry disrupted the offensive of the Liao army, they retreated again, and the Liao cavalry could not catch up, shouting loudly, "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”

This time, Zhao Xingde's luck seemed to have been squandered, maybe it was a lack of horsepower, he retreated a little slower, and the artillery bombardment on the fort was a little slower, the Liao army cavalry general's roar was staring at his back as if he had eyes, and countless arrows chased after Zhao Xingde's back, and almost instantly, he had seven or eight arrows inserted in his body. If it weren't for his strong armor, I am afraid that he would have been shot on the spot.

"Good arrows!" Even Brother Temu, who was watching the battle from afar, yelled excitedly!

The arrows that the Liao army shot to kill the enemy's main general were special decapitated armor-breaking arrows, even if this Zhao Xingde was wearing thick armor, these arrows were enough for him. And the generals of the Song army who saw this scene were all nervous, and even the privy envoy Yue Fei raised his right hand, he understood the importance of Zhao Xingde to the army's heart, once this person had something, he didn't care if he could defeat the enemy army hard, and the infantry army must be pressed up, so as not to collapse the whole army. The cannon roared, the killing sound shook the sky, the war horses neighed, the arrows broke through the air, countless people fell to the ground and died every moment, and every moment there were people shouting and rushing forward, but at this moment, countless eyes fell on Zhao Xingde.

A few arrows penetrated Zhao Xingde's armor and did not hurt the vital point, and the strong momentum of the heavy arrow made him shake a few times immediately, and Zhao Xingde stabilized his figure. He looked back, the cavalry of the Liao army was still dozens of steps away, and suddenly reined in the horses, and for some reason, more than a dozen cavalry around him also gathered around him, Zhao Xingde couldn't help but break the arrows on his body, drew his horizontal knife, and waved it towards the opposite side as if demonstrating. If it were an ordinary cavalryman, this action would be meaningless, but the whole battlefield was suddenly like this, but the battlefield seemed to be quiet for a moment.

"This man is crazy!" Xiao Xiangsheng frowned, "Does he want to die?" ”

However, the Song army on the artillery fort understood what Zhao Xingde meant in an instant, and generals such as Gao Su, Du Fujiao, Ma Yuan, Jia Yuanzhen, and Qian Shen shouted hoarsely almost at the same moment, "General Wansheng!" "Baoyi Wansheng!" It was several times bigger than just now, and the Song army shouted the sound of battle and soared into the sky. "Boom-" "Boom-" The long-standing artillery also roared with earth.

Zhao Xingde patted his mount and retreated to the camp at the last moment.
