Chapter 128: Fierce 3

Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi, who were sweeping behind the Liao army, also saw the determination of the Song army to break the net and lose both, and neither of them would be stupid enough to let their cavalry fight with these Song troops. They only have more than 10,000 cavalry now, and they are here to pick up cheap and fish in troubled waters, but they are not chasing them for fifty or sixty miles to find the Song army desperately.

Without waiting for the Song crossbow arrows to be issued, with the sound of the horn, the cavalry of the Liao people who were supposed to rush to kill the Song army's infantry turned their horses' heads and galloped away to the east and west outside the range of the Song army's crossbow arrows, leaving behind the sand and dust on the ground.

After drawing a circle from a distance, the Liao cavalry changed to face the Song army head-on, at this time, the Liao cavalry took off their bows and arrows, stood on their horses, and returned fire with arrows at the Song army's infantry outside the range of Song army's arrows.

The wind helped the arrows, and the Song army could not shoot the Liao army, but the long arrows of the Liao army fell into the Song army's formation. Fortunately, there was a shield in front of him, and there were not many injured people, which did not affect the Song army's infantry formation.

On the top of the city tower, a young man with a well-proportioned figure and ape arms and a bee waist stood beside the staff officer Liu Tao, only to see that this young man had sword eyebrows and sideburns, his eyes were shining, his face was ruddy, the bridge of his nose was straight, and he was full of a heroic and heroic air, but the light beard on his lips made him look slightly immature. The young man said to Liu Tao: "My lord, the Liao people are rejecting the tiger and wolf Jin army in the north, and Xiongzhou is a strong city, and the Liao army is here just to fish in troubled waters, not to attack the city for a long time." If the cavalry army captures its two ribs, the three Liao troops will be defeated by the enemy and will retreat to the north of the boundary river. ”

Liu Tao turned his head and glanced at it, and said: "Pengju is bold in saying this, you must know that cavalry and archery are the strong points of the Liao people, and I attack them with a broken army, and it is difficult to have a chance of winning." ”

The young man named Pengju crossed his hand and said: "A certain person is willing to lead the Sandu cavalry army, go out from the west gate, rush to the western line of the Liao army, and attack its right rib; The commander of the army must order the cavalry to attack from the enemy's left rib, and under the attack from three sides, the enemy army will retreat. ”

Liu Tao was silent, and the young man said again and again: "Please fulfill it." ”

Liu Tao finally agreed: "I will give you the Sandu cavalry, under your command, and I will give you the drum and cheer for you here." It's just that when you don't get in touch, go back as soon as possible. ”

The young man bowed his head, bowed, and went down into the city, and led his cavalry out of the city by the west gate.

Liu Tao was on the tower of the city, and began to beat the trumpet again, waving the order flag to the Song army under the city. Seed Master Dao looked back at the order flag on the city tower, and said lightly to a pro-soldier beside him: "You go and give an order to Yang Tong, and when the enemy army is in chaos, attack from the enemy's left rib." The pro-army answered, and went to find Yang Weizhong, the commander of the cavalry on the right wing.

The young man named Pengju, who led the entire three cavalry armies, with a big gun in his hand, went out of the west gate and headed north against the wind. The oncoming wind was so strong that the sand and dust squinted, and it was hard to even take a breath. The cavalry of three hundred men were all bowed in the saddle of their horses, their heads pressed against their necks, and they fought forward. Only the young man was slightly bent down, sitting in the saddle, with a large gun in his hand, and riding forward with the reins in one hand, looking in the right direction from time to time.

The wind and sand obscured the sky and the sun, and it was almost thirty paces away that it was impossible to see the situation in the distance. The Liao army would never have thought that in such a situation, reinforcements would come out of the city.

When the young man led the cavalry to suddenly attack the right rib of the Liao army and shot the Liao troops on the periphery off their horses, the Liao army found that the Song army reinforcements had attacked.

The young man, who was only dressed in cloth and not wearing armor, rushed into the Liao army formation first, and a big gun danced, like boiling soup into the snow, and the tiger entered the flock, and the Liao army did not have a one-in-one enemy in front of him, only a face, either pierced by this young man's shot, or was shot off the horse, and the protection on the left and right sides was strict, like a killing god, only to kill the Liao army dodged one after another, unwilling to block in front of this young man's horse. An arrow from the Liao army came from the side, but it was also swept away by the young man with a big gun, as if he was carrying an arrow down. Followed by the cavalry of the Song army, when they saw that the young general who led the troops was so brave, their morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed to kill, causing a great chaos in the cavalry of the Liao army.

Yang Weizhong, who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, saw that the Liao army was in chaos, and immediately led two thousand cavalry troops to kill the left rib of the Liao army. The Liao army was attacked by the enemy left and right, and the number of men and horses was different, but they were all extremely fierce. The Liao army could no longer care about the large infantry formation in front of it, mobilized men and horses, and surrounded the Song cavalry on both sides.

After all, the cavalry of the Liao army far surpassed the cavalry army attacked by the two wings of the Song army, and under the command of Xiao Gan, it gradually divided into two roads and killed the cavalry of the Song army. Seeing the Liao army splitting up the situation, he knew that the left and right cavalry had already disturbed the Liao army, so he hurriedly ordered the drumming and cheering, and let the infantry army advance forward and attack the Liao army with arrows. At this time, the Liao army was busy for a while.

Suddenly, there was a sound on the ground, and everyone who was shocked was almost out of their bodies, and then they were horrified to find that the dark and dull sky that no one had paid attention to for a long time seemed to suddenly press down. Suddenly, the whole world became dark, and then the heavy rain poured down, and the sky became darker and darker, and there was almost no one on the other side, and the two armies that were fighting almost stopped as the heavy rain fell, and seemed to be awakened by the heavy rain.

Just when the people in the wild were at a loss, hailstones as big as chicken eggs fell with the heavy rain, and smashed on the soldiers' helmets, on the unconcealed horses, and on the soldiers' blades. Some of the soldiers who did not have iron helmets were directly knocked unconscious, and some were smashed on their heads and bled out...... Under the power of God, any banner, iron armor, formation, and war horse have become vulnerable. Hail "Smack!" Syllable! "Smashed down, there was no intention of stopping, but smashed more and more tightly, and the ground seemed to be paved with a layer of white pebbles.

Every soldier, whether it is the Liao army or the Song army, under the care of God without discrimination, all the clothes and armor have been soaked by the heavy rain, everyone instinctively protects the top of their heads with their arms, and the soaked clothes and armor are wrapped around their bodies, as if they are wrapped in ropes, and the war horses have become restless in such weather.

Suddenly, in the large formation of the Song army's infantry army, there was a tight drum sound, accompanied by the sound of drums, the shield soldier at the front of the infantry formation slowly raised his shield, not erected to block the front, but held the shield flat above his head, under the long and big shield, was a shield hand, a spearman and a long knife hand. Such strange combinations formed an even larger group, and slowly marched towards the Liao army to the beat of drums, although slowly, but with firm steps.

The Song army in the heavy rain seemed to wake up, and in its own borders, it erupted with blood hidden deep in the body, as if it was facing the cavalry of the Western Xia Kingdom that had been fighting for decades......
