Chapter 702: Make a big deal
"Ah......" In the messy Zhuozhou earthen fort, the Zhou army general let out a desperate roar, surrounded by corpses and screaming wounded soldiers, several Liao soldiers were stabbing with spears according to a Zhou sergeant, and one of the Xi soldiers waved the iron bone and smashed it on the soldier's helmet, and sparks splashed.
The red flag of the township army fell to the ground, trampled back and forth by the boots.
The rebels were forced between the houses in the middle, some fighting and some with crossbows. The door of the fort was opened, and the cavalry of the Liao army rushed in frantically, the iron bones and spears in the hands of those cavalrymen were like sticks in the hands of black and white impermanence, and death and despair were rapidly approaching with the horses' hooves!
A few of the rebels fled into the house of the capital, and they hurriedly closed the door and pressed their backs against the wooden door panel. The sound of a person's teeth "clucking" can be heard clearly, and he said with a crying voice: "I know that the imperial grain is not eaten for nothing......
It's a good thing to hide here, the whole fortress is so big, there's nowhere to hide.
Dutou took out a delicate silk embroidered purse from his bosom, glanced at the rebels, and said nothing. He quickly blew a piece of paper on the table a few times, and then hurriedly folded it together despite the wet handwriting, and put the suicide note in his purse. He thought for a moment, then pulled out another piece of gold and put it in his purse, and then carefully tucked it into the lining bag.
When he had done all this, he grabbed the scabbard from the table, went to the door, drew his sword, and strode away, staring at the door. He turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, you will definitely die, and each person will kill a cushion!" ”
The door panel didn't move for a long time, and Du Tou picked up a pair of helmets on the ground, put them on the head of a soldier's cloak, and admonished: "Don't hide, our armor is good, the enemy will attack me too, and if you cut him, it counts!" ”
But after a long time, there was no movement, and even the sound of horses' hooves and shouts outside was quiet.
Dutou cautiously opened the door panel and looked out, and saw that the ground was full of corpses and ** wounded soldiers, where are there still enemy soldiers? The gate on the opposite side was open empty.
"The Liao army ran away?" A soldier said in a trembling voice.
Dutou immediately walked out of the door, and ran up the earthen wall with his sword on the rammed steps, and his vision suddenly widened. Nearby, the Liao army dropped many catapults, ladders, and ladders, and retreated like a tide, and a large area of men and horses on the snowfield were surging to the north.
At the end of the line of sight, there is a black line faintly on the horizon!
Du Tou finally understood, and excitedly turned around and shouted, "Reinforcements are coming!" ”
The remaining sporadic soldiers and wounded shouted and cheered hoarsely, and some even cried. A soldier slurred his words and said, "I will marry the widow of the king at the entrance of the village when I go back, and I shouldn't have scolded her before I left......
…… Shi Yan was oversized and jogging on a horse, and Li Chuyun, who was in front of him, covered his eyebrows with his palm, blocking the slightly westerly sunlight in the sky, and squinted into the distance.
Behind them, flags fluttered like clouds, and large groups of horses let out a "rumbling ......" roar.
Li Chuyun looked at it and said, "The Liao army will withdraw the siege first, and then gather the horse team to block us." ”
Shi Yanchao immediately said happily: "Li Dianjian led the brigade to Zhuozhou from the south, and Shi led the troops to meet the Liao army!" ”
Li Chuyun said: "Very good! After General Shi broke through the horse team on the side of the Liao army, he must not fall in love with the battle, and quickly approached Zhuozhou and the general in order to respond. Beware of being besieged! ”
Shi Yanchao hugged his fists on the horse and said: "Order!" ”
He immediately raised his palm, turned his head and shouted, "Ordering Shi's men and horses, follow!" ”
The Zhou army's horses gradually began to diverge like a flood diverting, and the front army rode heavily to the northwest. When the two armies separated, Shi Yanchao's men and horses gradually slowed down again, forming three groups of cavalry, with the front like a "pinzi" and a cluster of arrows.
Shi Yanchao's personal soldiers held several large square flags, on which were written "Shi", "Qianfeng", "Da Zhou" and other different fonts. The horses ran again, and the knight rose and fell on the horse's back, and the horse's hooves gradually raised the snowflakes on the ground, and the white snowflakes were like splashes, and the roar of the iron hooves was like thunder.
In the distance in front of him, a large number of Liao cavalry rushed in, and the wide horizontal plane formed a troop advantage over Shi Yanchao's troops, and the momentum was very turbulent!
Shi Yanchao was completely unafraid, he patted the strong buttocks of the war horse, raised the iron gun and began to accelerate. The army followed, the whole herd of horses ran faster and faster, a large number of people and horses gathered together, and this speed could not be stopped!
The cavalry on both sides gradually approached, and seemed to be slow but fast. Shi Yanchao's ears were covered with fur and chain mail, but he also heard the sound of the wind whistling in his ears. Things on the ground were getting more and more blurry, and only the cavalry soldiers on both sides seemed to be still.
"Papapa......" There was a dense string sound like fried beans in the wind, and when Shi Yanchao looked up, the black spots in the air quickly changed from small to large. There was a bang, and even his shoulder was visibly knocked out, but the cluster of arrows was immediately bounced off by the plate armor.
"Kill! Kill! Shi Yanchao yelled unscrupulously.
The cavalry of the Zhou army suddenly accelerated, and the three iron cavalry rushed away like arrows off the string! The speed at this time made Shi Yanchao excited, the blood veins all over his body were surging, his eyes were full of attention, such stimulation was simply a kind of enjoyment, he felt that he was no longer a mortal, but infinite power!
"Whew!" Shi Yanchao approached the front of the horse, and the heavy gun in his hand was straight away. There was a loud bang, and the iron gun pierced through the torso of a rider like a piece of tofu! The cavalry immediately fell from his horse, and even the mount of the Liao soldier behind him fell to his knees with a "hiss". The mist of blood splashing in the air soon followed.
In an instant, a group of iron spears flew out of the air. The iron spear was simply indestructible by virtue of its weight and the speed of the horse's charge, and the Liao army could not stop it with a shield. For a while, a group of enemy soldiers in the center fell off their horses, and people turned on their backs and screamed, as if the enemy soldiers rushed over and stepped on a trap!
"Huo ......" The former soldiers of the Zhou army roared in unison, and the momentum immediately grew, and the roar shook the heavens and the earth. The morale of the soldiers was high and they rushed forward bravely.
Shi Yanchao changed the other iron spear from his left hand to his right hand, and pulled out another branch from his back with his left hand! Before he had time to throw again, he had already rushed into the Liao army's horses, and stabbed the horse on the right side with a shot. There was a violent metal crash, and the violent collision made everyone tremble when they heard it!
Shi Yanchao skillfully loosened his hand, the iron spear had entered the torso of the Liao cavalry, the extreme speed of the two horses facing each other, coupled with Shi Yanchao's huge arm strength to attack forward, the knight on the Liao army's war horse was very exaggerated, and even the person flew out in the air with a gun!
"Bell!" A moment later, a dazzling spark flickered, and a severed iron sword flew into the air.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Liao army had not had time to outflank Shi Yanchao's troops from the left and right flanks with the width of the front, and Shi Yanchao had already led the crowd to break straight into the Liao army's horse herd!
The sound of killing on the battle array shook the sky, and weapons danced wildly. Horses were rushing like a turbulent flood, arrows were flying in the air, and sharp pikes were scurrying rapidly, and people in the herd were constantly falling off their horses, and the scene was very terrifying. The shouts are even more earth-shattering, and in the rushing cavalry battle, there are no cowardly people, and if you stop, you will die! Everyone was forced to become an indomitable warrior.
Although the Liao army came to block the attack, the depth was not enough, and it was quickly penetrated by Shi Yanchao's troops from the middle. The Liao army mounted and besieged from the left and right flanks, and pursued behind, and the bows and arrows of the two armies "crackled" and flew wildly.
Shi Yanchao rushed straight into the fortress group, and the cavalry of the Zhou army entered the fortification area one after another. The Liao army chased after them, and the crossbows on the earthen walls of the fortress had a longer range than those of the cavalry, and there were even arm-thick ballistas flying in the air! The Liao cavalry suffered a great loss when they approached the fortress, and it was difficult to spread between the fortress groups, so the pursuit was blocked.
At this time, Li Chuyun's troops also responded from the left flank in the south, and the Liao army was unable to prevent the Zhou cavalry from converging with the Zhuozhou army.
Outside the city of Zhuozhou, at this time, the foot and horse gathered, there are people and horses everywhere, on the field, the city tower and the fortress are faintly visible, the army in formation, the horsemen gathered in all directions make this place like a huge military camp.
Shi Yanchao saw Li Chuyun's huge square handsome flag, and rode his horse over, at this time, his clothes and armor were covered with bloodstains, he was big, and he was very terrifying to ride on a horse. When he came to Li Chuyun's Chinese army, Han Tong also came on horseback, and he hugged his fists on the horse and said: "The general has been waiting for Li to check for a long time. ”
Li Chuyun said bluntly: "There are only more than 20,000 palace front Si Jingcai who have reinforced Zhuozhou. ”
Han Tong said excitedly: "It's good to have reinforcements!" If there are many soldiers, you can attack, and if you have few soldiers, you can defend. Ben would have divided the infantry into four formations, with four corners; Li Dianjian's elite cavalry is in the center, where the Liao army attacks, the cavalry can quickly reinforce the fortification fortress defense, and our army's defense can be safe! ”
Han Tong said, paused and clenched his fists and said, "Please Li Dianjian decide." ”
In one sentence, the commander-in-chief of the Zhuozhou tribes was clearly distinguished, and Han Tong was still very sensible...... Li Chuyun is the boss of the front division of the palace, and Han Tong is the highest military general of the guard Ma Bu Division, if according to the previous rules, the military rank of the guard Ma Bu Division should be higher; But now the front division of the palace is under the command of him, and he has a bit of a prosecutor, and he is actually the highest-level general.
Li Chuyun glanced at Han Tong and said, "This is a little wonderful, first protect Zhuozhou." The area of the fortress is so vast that more than 100,000 people can't surround the entire place; Let's defend it, and we can also attack. ”
It is only possible to take the initiative to attack, but in reality it is obvious that the offensive force is insufficient. The few soldiers in Zhuozhou can also fight with the Liao army outside the city, relying on the fulcrum of the fortress fortifications; Once out of the vicinity, the gap in field forces is too great.
However, Li Chuyun's reinforcements are only the first batch!
Li Chuyun took out another letter with ugly handwriting, handed it to Han Tong and said, "Your Majesty's handwritten letter, General Han, please take a look at it." ”
Han Tong took a quick look, looked up and said, "We can finally have a fight with the Liaoren!" ”
