Chapter 334: Raiding the Northern Song Dynasty

The generals of the Liao army are not stupid, not to mention, there are battlefield generals like Xiao Hui, when they saw the beginning of the battlefield, they already felt that it might be caused by bows and arrows, but the form was a little different, so they couldn't judge.

However, in such a large battlefield, there must be some omissions, even the armor-piercing arrows are only recovered by more than 9 percent, and the rest, I am afraid that there are not tens of thousands, let alone more, the most longbows shot.

Those that were scattered, shot outside the battle circle, were very numerous, and they were not easy to find.

The Liao army soon discovered a long arrow that had almost sunk into the soil.

Of course, it is the long arrow of the giant longbow, this is full of power, and eighty or ninety percent of the long arrows have been submerged in the soil, which looks very terrifying.

When the Liao army who found him dug them out, they found that this arrow was different, even a thick layer of soil, it could penetrate, let alone ordinary people, this was a complete hand.

When this long arrow was sent to Liao Xingzong, Liao Xingzong felt the sharpness of the long arrow, which was a little different from an ordinary bow, it looked more sharp, and he took the arrow to find some weapons and tried it, sure enough, it was made of fine iron, very sharp, and it was difficult to resist him with an ordinary sword.

This may be the key, there shouldn't be a lot of such a magic weapon.

But after holding this arrow and comparing it with some corpses, the Liao army was a little surprised, because most of the wounds on these corpses were caused by this kind of long arrow, because it was very appropriate.

A sharp weapon that can be called a divine weapon, but it is widely used, so Liao Xingzong did not expect that the Northern Song Dynasty had become rich to such an extent.

Later, a corpse wearing armor and being hit by a heavy longbow appeared.

A good armor belongs to the elite Iron Harrier heavy armor, thick armor, which proves that this is not a defective product, it is a real armor, this may be compared with the Tielin Army and the Leather Chamber Army of the Liao State, a little worse, but not much

In other words, this longbow that can pierce through the Iron Harrier also has considerable lethality to them, which is the point.

Through analysis, this heavy cavalry, still in the front, was hit by this long arrow in the state of charging, which proves that the hit rate of this thing is also quite high.

The Northern Song Dynasty army was able to kill all 30,000 iron harriers in a short period of time, so it could also kill 30,000 Liao troops.

The heavy cavalry is the killer weapon of the Liao army, but it was so easy to break.

Liao Xingzong listened calmly, and Xiao Hui told the whole process little by little, as if it was reproduced yesterday.

I have to say that Xiao Hui is a very powerful general, he almost told every step, in fact, this is relatively simple, because the Northern Song Dynasty did not clean the battlefield, but left a lot of traces, and the time to search the battlefield was only less than an hour, and he was even ready to leave at any time.

"What do you think?" Although Liao Xingzong did not have a specific direction, Xiao Hui knew that it was for him, he pondered for a while, and said: "This longbow team of the Northern Song Dynasty is quite terrifying, if they are allowed to play a role thoroughly, the attack power is outstanding!" ”

Xiao Hui carefully observed the battlefield, this longbow should be a sneak attack, I don't know how to do it, close to the 200-meter position of the cavalry, and it has not been discovered by the cavalry, and there are a large number of horse traps in front of it.

In other words, the Northern Song Dynasty had already encountered this sneak attack and was ready for it.

In this case, even if the Liao army encounters it, it is very headache, they can't confront the archers head-on, especially when the archers have the ability to penetrate the armor, reducing the speed, and hindering are all big problems.

Before coming to the battlefield, Xiao Hui may not have believed that in this world, there are still types of troops that can confront the heavy cavalry of the Liao State head-on, but now, he is sure of it.

Liao Xingzong also has as much of Xiao Hui's mental journey, but he is even clearer, and said: "Such a terrible team, should you let you stay in the northwest?" ”

Liao Xingzong has already pointed out, has taken Xingqing Mansion, originally belonged to the essence of the Western Xia territory, basically belonged to the Liao State, Yuan Hao's trace has also been determined, has run to the west, at least 1500 miles away from Xingqing Mansion, it can be said that in just a few days, Yuan Hao ran wildly, almost did not stop, and finally ran to a safe place.

When he came out of Xingqing Mansion, Yuan Hao didn't carry horses or anything, but Xixia was a nomadic people, and there were many horses near this retreat, there was a hidden horse farm, which had not been found in the search of Liao, relying on a large number of horses, they left quickly, and opened the distance.

Yuan Hao has only tens of thousands of people temporarily gathered, and in the middle, the real elite is probably only 1,000 personal guards, maybe Yuan Hao can slowly turn this army from an ordinary army to an elite, and that will be a long time later.

It is very difficult to defend the huge territory, especially the terrible cattle on this territory, it is very difficult, Liao Xingzong cannot stay here all the time, he will return with a large army, once some of the Liao soldiers are left, they have to resist Yuan Hao, and they must be lower than the Northern Song Dynasty, which is somewhat impossible.

"It's hard, and the other party might take the chance!" Xiao Hui said with some embarrassment, although he did not advocate expanding the theater of war, but this was related to the interests of the Liao State, at this critical moment, the Northern Song Dynasty has been in the queue for so long, and it is indeed a very big threat.

100,000 Western Xia vassals, 100,000 Liao troops, although there are some losses, but the 30,000 Tielin troops from the domestic support are already in place, and the Liao Xingzong soldiers are strong and strong, and he dares to do anything.

I can't do it by bringing over 70,000 cavalry, but bringing all the teams up is enough to wreak havoc in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty is a rich rival country, the relationship between the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty is more intimate, and even Bianliang has a large number of Liao envoys, they know very well how rich the Northern Song Dynasty is, this is not Hebei, there is not so much defense, even the Western Xia can, how can they not do it.

Now Yuan Hao has no time to take care of this, although it is said that 200,000 people are mobilized, which is a bit much, but from Xingqing Mansion, a large number of livestock have been harvested, which is enough to support this operation.

The other party had already fled yesterday, although there were some burdens, but if the other party didn't take care of it, he could have left a long time ago, and now it's pointless to chase the past, so he simply didn't chase it.

Liao Xingzong was in the same place, stayed for another 3 days, and waited until all the follow-up troops came up, and then they killed in the direction of Lingzhou.
