Chapter 92: The Battle of Hainan Pass (14)
In less than three moments, Hainan Guan...
Looking at the Song army surging like a tide, Han Hao's face was solemn, and he wondered in his heart, "Even if General Yelu's death has dealt a blow to the morale of my Daliao soldiers, he will attack my Hainan Pass with tens of thousands of troops of the Song army... Why..."
Han Hao was puzzled, since yesterday night, the Song army's offensive has not stopped. In just one day, the Song army suffered more than 10,000 casualties. The Liao army occupied Xiongguan and waited for work, and the Song army did not have large-scale siege equipment. With so many advantages, even the morale of the Liao army was hit by a total of only two or three thousand casualties.
"Woo~~~"
"Withdraw!"
Yang Yanding heard the sound of the big camp Mingjin withdrawing troops and shouted.
Closed, Han Hao saw the Song army retreating, and his heart was relieved again. This emotion has been experienced more than a dozen times in this day!
Knock~knock~knock~
There was a sound of messy footsteps behind Hainan Pass.
"Newspaper~"
"Lord Qiyu, the troops subordinate to Lord Li Houde and Lord Zhang Yu are coming from the camp!"
Hearing this, Han Hao frowned, he didn't let Li Houde's troops come to support.
"I'll take a look!"
Han Hao walked a mile sideways before arriving at the city gate tower. Looking at the soldiers wearing the Great Liao armor below, there were more than 10,000 people, but the team was extremely untidy. Suddenly there was a doubt in his heart, so he shouted, "Li Houde and Zhang Yuren!" ”
With this sound, Han Hao roared out with all his strength. Even though he had just stepped into the realm of a second-rate martial artist, he could hear this voice clearly within a radius of three hundred meters.
Hearing this, Li Houde walked out of the army, raised his head and replied, "Han Hao! It's me! I don't have time to explain it to you! Open the ladder quickly! ”
"Open the ladder!"
Click~
There was a sound of a machine, and a stone wall of several meters in a certain place slowly floated up, and then suddenly turned around and fell to the ground.
After Li Houde came up, Han Hao immediately asked, "What happened?" How did you get here? ”
Li Houde's face was solemn, and he said, "The Song army launched a surprise attack from the rear of our camp, and our army was unprepared, so we could only be forced to abandon the camp. ”
Seeing that there was no voice of Changyu in the army, Han Hao looked at Li Houde hesitantly and said, "Changyu...?" ”
Li Houde nodded slightly, did not speak, just nodded silently.
Click~
Suddenly, Han Hao's two fists clenched.
"How many men and horses did the Song army have in the raid camp?" Han Hao knew that since he could force the Liao army back, it could only prove that the strength of the Song army was several times stronger than that of the Liao army.
"At that time, the situation was too urgent, and all the people who didn't come, looking at the formation, were about 30,000 to 50,000!"
Hiss~
Hearing this, Han Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of shock, and he gasped.
Three to fifty thousand! In other words, the Liao army has no way out!
Li Houde saw a trace of weakness in Han Hao's eyes, and his heart was anxious, and he said, "I brought some dry food here, save a little, it's enough for the last month." As long as we hold on, the king will definitely send troops to help! ”
Han Hao shook his head and said with a wry smile, "With only 40,000 soldiers and horses, if you want to defend both sides at the same time, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream." As long as the Song army adopts the method of wheel warfare, it will be physically and mentally exhausted in less than ten days. When the time comes... How to keep? ”
Syllable~
Li Houde's two rugged big hands were tightly clasped on Han Hao's arms, and he said excitedly, "Han Hao! The general admires you the most on weekdays! Our brothers also think of you as an older brother! Don't say that as a soldier of the Great Liao, we should be born and die for the Great Liao. Let's just say that the general was killed by the Song army, the five of us have been by the general's side for so long, and we have received less favor from the general? Now that the general's death is unknown, shouldn't a few of us avenge the general?! ”
Oh, yes! If it weren't for the general, I, Han Hao, would still be just a centurion now! Since following Yeluyan, not only my own position has become higher and higher, but even my family members in Chunyang County have also been deeply affected.
I still remember when I returned to my hometown to visit relatives on military leave two years ago, looking at the newly built small house at home, the daughter-in-law and the old father and mother were smiling in front of the old folks in new clothes, Han Hao could not forget it in his life.
Do you give up struggling because you have no chance of winning? Do you forget your kindness because of the death of General Jerod? Could it be that as a big Liao man, he watched his country being invaded?
No! No! No!
Han Hao, who has always been steady, raised his head and roared at the sky for three words, and when he lowered his head again, his eyes were full of burning battle intent!!
"Dry food can't be put in one place! All the dry rations were distributed to every soldier. And also! Frankly tell them that this is their monthly amount, just how to eat, let them see by themselves! ”
The more he got to this time, Han Hao knew that the current situation could not hide anything from the soldiers. Only in a desperate situation can a truly brave warrior burst out with terrifying potential!
Seeing Han Hao regain his strength, Li Houde nodded heavily, and immediately ordered someone to start the operation......
The Liao army actively distributed rations at the gates, and people came and went, and the number of people increased by 10,000. A congested situation was formed at the gate, and this was clearly seen by the spies of Yang Ye's army...
In the camp, Yang Ye sat firmly on the Taishi's chair, and after listening to the report of the spies, a smile finally appeared on his indifferent face, "It seems that Marshal Yue has successfully taken the Liao army camp." ”
"Someone!"
"In!"
"Gather all the generals and make a new battle plan!"
"No!"
......
At this moment, in the camp of the Liao army, the Song army looted all the things in the camp like robbers and bandits and began to count.
Yue Fei led the 20,000 troops back to the camp early, and many soldiers held the heads of enemy soldiers in their hands and began to register their exploits!
"Big brother!"
Niu Gao watched Yue Fei lead the troops back, and greeted him with a smile.
As soon as Yue Fei saw Niu Gao's smile, he knew what it meant, and said with a light smile, "The harvest is not small, right?" ”
"I'm good! I've never seen so many things, old cow! There are more than 12,000 loads of grain alone, more than 6,000 crossbows and bows, and 100,000 arrows! And... Hehe~" Niu Gao said and couldn't help rubbing his hands and laughing.
Halfway through Niu Gao's words, Yue Fei suddenly stopped, Yue Fei's heart tightened, glared at Niu Gao, and snorted, "Say!" ”
Niu Gao smiled and said, "This Liao army doesn't know what to think, and it actually gathered more than a dozen catapults." Isn't that to shoot yourself in the foot! ”
"Catapults! Great! ”
Yue Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Originally, I was still thinking that although we had laid down a large battalion, our army's siege weapons were too few, but when we attacked together, the siege strength was not enough. I didn't expect this Liao army to be really sleepy and come to send pillows! ”
"Newspaper~"
When Yue Fei was rejoicing, a spy rode straight over on a fast horse.
"What?"
"Report to the Marshal! Captain Yang's army once again organized a large army to start attacking the city! ”
Hearing this, Yue Fei's face turned to the side, and he muttered, "It seems that Old Lady Yang already knows the situation on our side..." ”
Niu Gao saw that there was a battle to fight, and said excitedly, "Big brother! Why don't you let me too..."
Yue Fei glanced at Niu Gao and did not speak.
"If you don't go, you won't go, what's the big deal..."
Seeing this, Niu Gao knew that there was no play, and went to the army while muttering.
......
After Yang Ye and the others formulated the battle plan again, they sent 20,000 horses at one time.
Unlike before, the army was not concentrated in one place, but spread across the walls around Hainan Pass.
However, the Liao army on the pass was 40,000, and even if the Song army launched an attack from that place, it would be guarded.
But after a while, the Liao army began to realize that something was wrong...
After the sword and shield soldiers of the Song army leaned the ladder against the wall with their shields, they began to shift their positions. Let the Liao soldiers scratch their heads.
"Boom!"
A loud bang exploded in the wall, like a thunderstorm in the nine heavens!
Yes~
A scream made many Liao soldiers around look back.
A Liao soldier looked at more than a dozen catapults standing side by side a mile away, and suddenly turned pale with fright, and shouted in a lost voice, "It's a catapult!" Fast... Come on! ”
Run? Where to run?
When many people were ready to slip away, they found that they had no other way to retreat except for the long passes on the left and right! That is, they became living targets!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Huge stones fell from the sky and smashed mercilessly on the stone wall, affecting many Liao soldiers. After a few rounds, the Liao army soldiers sacrificed hundreds of people! And on the thick city wall, the attack of catapults could not be resisted, and potholes appeared.
Han Hao, who was on the wall, leaned against the city wall weakly, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the fierce battle intent was gone.
Before, Han Hao had forgotten a very important thing, that is, the arrows that had fallen on the closed stone had already been in a hurry. And all those stocks have fallen into the hands of Song Jun.
If these dozen catapults are allowed to go down, not only can they smash the wall, but these 40,000 Liao soldiers will also become meat targets.
The catapult is only a mile away from Hainan Pass, leading the army to break through? Then the 10,000 Song troops in front of the catapult should be routed.
This also means that the Liao army must invest at least 20,000 troops.
Will the Song army outside the gate watch it? Hundreds of ladders have been erected on the wall. It can be said that no matter whether the Liao army mobilizes 20,000 horses from the left or the right, the Song army outside the pass will turn into a hungry tiger and directly attack the weakest place.
The Liao army's arrows and rocks have fallen urgently, and it is impossible to defend it with swords and guns alone!
"Lord Commander! Commander Li led 10,000 soldiers to kill the Song army in the pass! ”
Just when Han Hao was confused, a soldier ran over to report.
Han Hao immediately stood up and asked urgently, "Where did he transfer the troops from?" ”
"Left wing..."
Hearing this, Han Hao immediately pulled out the long sword in his hand and rushed towards the pass on the left......
