On an early summer night, the breeze brings a cool breeze to relieve the heat of the day. The stars in the night sky are scattered across a black curtain. Except for the regular passing of the patrolling sentries and the soldiers who got up at night to take care of the horses, everything in the camp fell silent in this strange night.

The soldiers at the gate of the camp lit a bonfire and lit the light at the door to pass the time of boredom. A few sat on the ground, leaning against a stake, and some gossiped in front of the campfire to survive the sleepy night. The soldiers who listened to the watch saw that it was past midnight, and the weary were also drowsy.

The flames of the bonfire fluttered and jumped in the night sky, reflecting the tired faces of the soldiers, and a soldier used the dry wood in his hand to stir the charcoal fire in the fire, and the woodwood in the inexplicable fire began to vibrate gently, as if there was an invisible hand playing with the charcoal fire, and the flames danced more cheerfully.

"Huh? ......The soldier's eyes widened, and he stared at the flames to find a cause, when a faint but heart-beating sound in his chest seemed to come into his ears and penetrate into his chest, and the sound of blood-stirring suddenly subsided his weariness.

He fell to his knees from the ground at once, and was about to bend down to listen to the ground, when the sound of the horse's hooves running against the hard dirt had begun to sound faintly, more and more clearly.

Not only this soldier heard it, but several soldiers next to him also felt it at this time, one by one, dumbfounded, looking at each other, wondering if it was time to send an alarm.

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted: "The enemy is stealing the camp!" The enemy army steals the camp! ”

The soldier who was sleeping on the stake also jumped up smartly, and looked around blankly, in the silence and darkness, nothing could be seen, but all the soldiers on duty heard the sound of horses' hooves more and more clearly, and the shouts of killing mixed with the sound of horses' hooves.

Even if you can't understand the Khitan dialect, you can understand at this time that you definitely didn't come to invite them to the restaurant to drink. Among them, the more clever soldiers hurriedly ran to the strict police drum under the banner and began to beat the drum in a panic. There was also a patrol in the camp, giving orders everywhere, and getting up to meet the enemy.

The soldiers of the battalion are still in the tent, with the drum sound of the camp "dong dong dong" sounded, it was like a welcome, in the dark night flashed out of a group of Liao cavalry from the west, and did not shoot torches, only with superb riding skills, let go of the reins of the horse, let the war horse rush to the Song army camp, closer and closer, the distance of more than 50 zhang was instantaneous, only to see the Liao soldiers all wearing iron helmets, iron armor and draped bodies, holding long blades, and the horses were also surrounded by leather armor, rushing straight to the camp.

It was originally a hastily standing, the thin wooden fence was picked open by the rushing cavalry with the momentum of the war horse, and rushed into the camp without hindrance. The Liao army that rushed to the front did not intend to do this, but just parried the blade in his hand and smashed it into the Song army that was in a hurry, and then staggered past, did not stop, and rushed towards the center of the camp on his horse, killing and slashing along the way, passing through the camp tents, in order to provoke greater turmoil and make the Song army unable to figure out the situation.

Groups and rows of Liao troops rushed in like crucian carp crossing the river, and immediately scattered everywhere, and began a massacre against the unorganized Song soldiers under the horses. At this time, more Song troops rushed out of the camp tent, and they all put on their armor and looked for their own blades, but they had no horses, so they could only fight the enemy's cavalry on foot and support them.

The Liao army that rushed to the camp broke through the camp tent at this time and rushed out of the camp from the wooden fence on the other side. Some of the soldiers of the Song army are close to the stables, have already ridden on the horses, but they are densely packed into a mess, and before the general gives the order, whether to pursue or defend the camp, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the west again, and at the same time there was an endless "whoosh", "whoosh" The sound of arrows breaking through the air and shooting was heard, the Song soldiers were standing in the open space of the camp tent, there was no time to dodge, and the chaos was not as good as the armor, the Liao army fired thousands of arrows together, so it was the first time to make a human arrow target, and the second group of rushing Liao army arrows were shot down.

Xiao Gan, who has been in the north for many years and is good at cavalry warfare, is worthy of being a number of generals and kings of the four armies in Liao, and he only led 2,000 pro-troops from his headquarters to attack the camp. The first group of cavalry was responsible for breaking through the camp, rushing the camp and alarming the sergeants of the Song battalion; The second group of cavalry followed closely and shot arrows into the camp, taking advantage of the opportunity when their men and horses rushed through the camp and the Song army had just been awakened and exposed from the camp, to kill and wound the enemy to the greatest extent.

Three rounds of arrows were fired, and the first group of men and horses rushing back again, just as the second group of people began to enter the Song army camp at the same time, as the third wave of attacks, the purpose was to set foot in the camp. No matter how ruthless you are, you will cut when you meet someone, stab when you meet someone, kill people on horses, the Song soldiers were attacked twice, the soldiers could not get the general's order, the general could not find his soldiers to give orders, but they fought separately, and they were killed by the Liao army in two rounds, and they were killed only to parry.

Xiao Gan finally rushed into the Song camp with the attendants of his own guards, and followed, only the Song camp was full of corpses and stumps, and most of the people killed were Liao soldiers and cavalry, and those Song soldiers were just struggling Song soldiers who were struggling to be killed on the ground from time to time. Xiao Gan saw that most of the Song army did not have time to get on the horse, so he ordered several pro-soldiers around him to kill the Song army's stables, set fire to the horses, and not teach the Song army to ride horses. What Xiao Gan wants is to annihilate all this Song army here, and not teach anyone to escape. Several pro-soldiers stepped forward to find the stables and set them on fire.

As Xiao Gan expected, a Song army was retreating to the stables to prevent the Liao army from attacking. At this time, the war horse is half a life of the cavalry, the battle can be chased, the retreat can go, if there is no war horse, and the array is not formed, only the part of the helpless.

As soon as Xiao Gan's pro-soldiers saw that the Song army retreated to the stable, they could no longer kill the horses, so they lit the rocket and shot indiscriminately at the stable, and the Song army fired back with a bow, and the stables were mostly flammable hay, and suddenly the fire was on fire, and the horses jumped and dodged, and the two Liao soldiers were also shot into hedgehogs by the Song army's bows and crossbows and fell off their horses. Several Song soldiers with spears in their hands stabbed at the Liao army, and one of the Liao soldiers was stabbed in the thigh by the spear, and he couldn't bear the pain, fell off his horse, and before he could shout, he cut off the head of the Song soldiers who came up later. Several Song soldiers jumped on their horses and rushed towards the remaining two Liao soldiers. There were also Song soldiers with spears on the ground who were stabbing coldly, and they had to meet the rushing Song soldiers and cavalry, one panicked, and the remaining two Xiao Gan soldiers were also cut off their horses, and more and more Song soldiers who retreated to the stables while fighting untied the reins and got on the war horses. The elite soldiers and iron horses in the Western Army, who have always been afraid of them? !

Ma Sibian's fists moved, and it was different when he crossed the iron saddle.
