Chapter 207: Defeat is like a mountain
Guo Kui, this time in a field battle with the Liao army, the prime minister is only a wall-by-side view, and you have full authority to command the battle, and the prime minister will never interfere. Han Jiang said solemnly in front of all the generals.
Guo Kui was stunned for a moment, and was immediately ecstatic, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your trust, the last general will definitely go all out to deal with the Liao thief!" ”
For the last time he led an army of 70,000 against the defeat of the 30,000 Liao army, Guo Kui couldn't say if he was bitter!
On the one hand, it is true that the Song army itself is much weaker than the Liao army, on the other hand, Han Jiang intervened three times in the course of the war, and in Guo Kui's view, although two of them were not directly the cause of the defeat at that time, Han Jiang was absolutely responsible.
It's just that civil officials are pointing fingers on the battlefield, which is the norm in the Great Song Dynasty, and with the political ecology of the Great Song Dynasty, although Guo Kui is already the top figure among the military generals, he still doesn't dare to show the slightest complaint to Han Jiang.
Therefore, Guo Kui has been worried about Han Jiang pointing fingers again, but fortunately, Han Jiang seems to have realized the inappropriateness of his intervention last time, and took the initiative to say that this time he would be given full command to him.
Without Han Jiang's constraints, Guo Kui has more confidence in today's battle.
In the sound of war drums, the military flag fluttered, Guo Kui began to deploy troops, and the army began to slowly move with the instructions of the trumpeter and flag speaker beside Guo Kui of the Chinese army.
On the opposite side, Xiao Tianxiong sat on a horse, with a big flag behind him, looking at the Song Dynasty army slowly unfolding opposite, his face was full of monstrous killing intent.
He had already received news that the 5,000 elite soldiers sent to exterminate the Song army had all been wiped out and burned alive by the Song army.
At the same time, he also learned from the news sent by the Dark Eagle Hall that the person who led the Song army was called Zhang Bin, who was the supervisor of Zhending Mansion, and the destruction of Shuitou City and the four small tribes was also done by this damned Zhang Bin.
Therefore, the person Xiao Tianxiong wants to kill the most now is Zhang Bin.
Xiao Tianxiong's eyes swept over the generals, and he said slowly: "If the Song army dares to fight with us in the field, it is looking for death, and they must be killed today, and then the army will go south and sweep the Zhending Mansion of the Song State." ”
When the generals heard this, they all lifted their spirits, and their eyes lit up, as long as they defeated these Song troops in front of them, they could go south to plunder, which was what they had always wanted to do.
"Where is that damn Song army now?" Xiao Tianxiong thought for a while, faintly worried, and suddenly frowned slightly and asked.
A Liao general next to him immediately bowed down and said: "Back to the king, news was sent from the north last night that the Song army was chased and killed by the 10,000 horses we left in Datong Mansion all the way, and it has fled into the Taihang Mountains, six hundred miles away from here. ”
Xiao Tianxiong nodded, did not speak, thinking that he was thinking too much.
……
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The war drums roared, the horns sounded, and the Song army was dominated by infantry, and the infantry phalanxes had been arranged.
The cavalry, numbering only 10,000 men, were deployed on both sides of the infantry phalanx, waiting for an opportunity to move.
For a long time, the Great Song Dynasty was short of war horses, so the cavalry was much less than that of the Liao army, so the main field of this battle was a cavalry battle, and some of them were cavalry battles.
Although the armies of both sides were not all placed on the frontal battlefield, the total strength of their respective fronts was no less than 50,000, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there was no boundary, let alone 50,000 troops.
The earth trembled, the sound of hooves was like thunder, the sound of killing soared into the sky, the smoke and dust were filled, and under the fierce collision between the cavalry and the cavalry, the infantry and the cavalry on both sides, the people turned on their backs, and five or six hundred people were killed and wounded in an instant......
Guo Kui and Xiao Tianxiong tried their best to mobilize their troops, and soon both launched attacks on the opponent's flank army, and a full-scale melee began......
Guo Kui and Xiao Tianxiong sat in the Chinese army, constantly investing troops, the war group grew stronger and stronger, looking down from the top of the mountain, the entire plain was full of rampaging soldiers and horses, killing the world and the world, the sun and the moon were dark.
Half a day later, all the forces of both sides had been put into it.
Constantly slashing and fighting, so that both sides of the army are extremely tired, although the Song army is weak, but the armor and weapons are relatively good, and the number is twice as many as the Liao army, plus before the war Han Jiang personally promised a heavy reward on behalf of the imperial court, and these days the Song army has won many battles against the Liao State, the Song army is no longer as afraid of the Liao army as before, for a time the Song army is full of resilience, although the Liao army has begun to have the upper hand, but in the end who wins and who loses, it is not yet visible.
At this moment, from the direction of Datongfu in the northeastern Liao State, smoke and dust suddenly rose on the horizon, and soon more than 2,000 cavalry rolled in like a storm.
The two armies were in the middle of a battle, and they struck a surprise attack all the way, which surprised everyone.
The big flag fluttered, judging from the clothing and armor and weapons, this was clearly a Liao army.
Therefore, the soldiers on the Liao side suddenly burst into a sea of cheers, and their "reinforcements" arrived!
But Xiao Tianxiong's face changed, because they had never had this reinforcement in the plan.
"It was the damned Song army that dressed up and gave the order to make the men and horses of the multi-wolf clan on the right flank turn around and stop them." Xiao Tianxiong's face changed drastically, and he roared angrily.
If the Song army has less than 3,000 more people from the very beginning, it will have an impact on the entire battle situation, but to be honest, it will not have much impact, but now that both sides have invested all their forces and the battle is in full swing, more than 2,000 Song troops suddenly appeared from behind them and attacked, which was enough to change the entire battle situation.
Guo Kui also noticed the sudden emergence of the Liao army behind the centaurs, at first he was also taken aback, and his heart sank, but as this group approached, he clearly saw Zhang Bin's banner that was suddenly raised, and was ecstatic, and then saw the Liao army's troop mobilization, and immediately understood that it was the Liao army that wanted to intercept Zhang Bin's men, and hurriedly ordered the left-wing army to desperately entangle the Liao soldiers, and gave Zhang Bin and them some time.
In this way, Zhang Bin and Zhemuqiu led more than 2,000 people and horses to suddenly attack from the rear of the Liao army, completely disrupting the camp of the Liao army, not to mention, but the blow to the morale of the Liao army was fatal.
Xiao Tianxiong's heart was dripping blood, he couldn't figure it out, he only received the news last night, Zhang Bin's Song army was still six hundred miles away, why did he suddenly appear here today, and it happened to be the most critical time on the battlefield
This is equivalent to being stabbed in the back of their hearts by Zhang Bin.
Suffering from the enemy in the abdomen and back, and being stabbed from the rear by a cavalry suspected of being his own, the Liao army, who was desperately in front, did not even know how many men and horses there were in this stabbing force, and they were quickly affected.
Especially when Zhang Bin still brought their last explosive bag to the most dense place of the Liao army, in the earth-shattering explosion, less than a hundred people were killed and injured, but most of the war horses of the Liao army panicked, even if the Liao soldiers had already controlled the war horses in three or four breaths, but these three or four breaths were enough for the Song army to do a lot of things, kill many people, and split many Liao cavalry in the infantry battle formation.
In short, this explosion seemed to be the fuse of the defeat of the Liao army, and the defeat image appeared immediately, and soon it became a situation of defeat like a mountain.
