Chapter 85: The Battle of Hainan Pass (7)

Hainan Pass, located in the East Extension Mountains and the Bohai Sea junction of a mouth, the whole Hainan Pass stretches for 20 miles, west of the mountains, east of the Bohai Sea. It's a real pass!

It was this Xiongguan that isolated the border between the Liao and Song dynasties and became the only intersection between the two countries.

At first, this Hainan Pass was occupied by a nest of bandits, and then it was suppressed by the Liao State and owned by the Liao State.

After the establishment of the Song State five years ago, Zhao Kuangyin engaged in the economy, which made the future of the Song Kingdom bright. The Liao country next door is barren and has suffered continuous disasters in recent years, resulting in many people not being able to eat a mouthful of food. set his sights on the rather rich Song Kingdom.

In several invasions, the Liao army relied on the advantages of Hainan Pass to take advantage of it repeatedly, and the resources they grabbed were enough to feed the rations of the people in several cities!

The Song State also felt quite helpless while suffering losses, and every time the Liao State always quietly avoided the heavy troops of the Song State, and only after the grain was snatched up, the Song Army got the news. By the time they led their troops to counterattack, the enemy had brought the grain back to Hainan Pass early.

The Liao king, who had tasted the sweetness many times, knew that this pass was a place for the Liao and Song dynasties, and sent 50,000 soldiers and horses from the beginning to 50,000, and even sent the Zhennan general Yeluyan to guard the town, relying on the steep terrain of Hainan Pass, so that the Song army had no way to start.

Over time, the endless intrusion of the Liao State caused a cloud of anger from the Song State to the Song State.

And this anger is four years at a time!

Twenty miles outside Hainan Pass, Yang Ye wore a suit of armor and walked to the handsome platform.

Looking down at the army, the soldiers of the Song Army were all murderous and nodded with satisfaction.

"Sons! The thief is right in front of you! What do you say should be? ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The overwhelming shouts floated in this sky, and the murderous aura and fighting intent of the entire army soared sharply.

For the Liao State, Yang Ye didn't need to guide the soldiers at all, and the Song State hated the Liao State to the extreme. Whether it is national shame or family hatred, these 80,000 troops can burst out with 15% combat effectiveness!

"All the troops are leaving!"

Subsequently, 80,000 Song troops killed the past towards Hainan Pass...

In a dense forest in the eastern mountain range to the west, a figure quickly climbed up the mountain.

"General! The Song army moved! ”

Yeluyan laughed cruelly, and the earthworm-thick scar on his face looked very oozing with the shaking of the muscles on his face.

He wiped the ghost head knife in his hand and said, "Don't worry, wait for them to stop." You keep an eye on me, but don't let Song Guo's spies find out the traces. ”

"No!"

After the probe left, Yeluyan's face suddenly turned cold, and he held the big knife in one hand and quickly slashed at a big tree next to him.

"Bang!"

A tree the size of an adult hugging in response to the sound fell.

"Squeak ~ Quack ~"

Suddenly, a flock of birds flew into the woods and flew into the sky.

"General! You! ”

The soldiers behind him looked at Yeluyan in horror, and did not dare to question directly.

"Let's go, I can't stay in this place!"

Yeluyan didn't explain half a sentence, and jumped on the horse.

The soldiers behind him didn't know why at first, but many of them understood and jumped on their horses and followed.

————————

The 80,000 Song army advanced towards Hainan Pass, and dozens of catapults bore the brunt of it, advancing little by little under the protection of heavy shield soldiers.

"Report!"

The scout in front rode his fast horse towards the handsome car, shouting.

Yang Ye stood on the handsome car, looked at the scout and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Captain Qiyu! Ten miles away, on a hill in the Dongyan Mountains to the west, birds were frightened and dusty. There seems to be an ambush! ”

Hearing this, a fine light flashed in Yang Ye's eyes, and he shouted, "Bring the map!" ”

Immediately, Qi'er Yang Yansi immediately took out a map and spread it on the table.

Yang Ye's fingers kept searching the map, and soon he locked on the location that the scout had said.

"This position is indeed the best position for ambushes, and it should be that you want to raid the vanguard of our army and destroy the siege equipment!" Yang Ye quickly anticipated the intentions of the Liao army, turned sideways and said to Yang Yansi, "You go and remind your eldest brother and second brother, beware of the ambush soldiers on the mountain to the west!" ”

"No!"

Yang Yansi nodded heavily and rode forward on his horse.

Looking at the back of Yang Yansi rushing over, Yang Ye had a bad premonition inexplicably in his heart. He shook his head, quickly extinguishing the premonition.

No matter what, it was right to let Yang Yansi go to the vanguard army to strengthen the guard. According to the mountain range on the map, it is indeed suitable for assault, and Yang Ye feels that this move is not wrong anyway.

A quarter of an hour later, after receiving Yang Yansi's reminder, the speed of the front army slowed down considerably, and the sword and shield soldiers all walked next to the cart transporting the parts of the catapult, and the archers held their longbows and looked around for any changes.

The range of the catapult was about one mile, and the Song army moved forward cautiously, and it took two hours to reach the range of the catapult.

After the arrival of the vanguard army led by Yang Yanping, there was no slackness, and under the command of Yang Yanping, they began to equip catapults and some large siege equipment in an orderly manner.

Little by little, the sun is rising...

Knock knock...

The earth began to tremble, and a sound of vibration pierced the ears of the Song soldiers.

"There's an enemy attack!"

The soldiers of the Left Wing Army noticed numerous cavalry emerging from a large road between the two small dirt slopes on the left.

Yang Yanan led the left flank army, and after the soldiers screamed, he turned his head sideways and saw the light cavalry of the Liao army rushing towards this side.

"What a guts!"

Yang Yanan saw at a glance that the enemy army only had about 3,000 people, and the left army led by himself had more than 10,000 troops, and snorted coldly.

The place where the Liao army struck from the small soil slope was exactly where the left wing army had just passed, and the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters. Although Yang Yanan didn't take it seriously, he also knew that once the cavalry rushed in, no matter how many infantry they were, they would just be lambs to be slaughtered.

"Array! Shoot the arrows! ”

Yang Yanan rode his horse and shouted, holding a spear.

This voice made the somewhat flustered Song soldiers find their backbone. Soon, the shields of the sword and shield soldiers were connected one after the other for three layers, protecting the left side of the left wing army to death.

The archers lined up behind the sword and shield soldiers, and when they were picking up their arrows and preparing to build their bows, the three thousand cavalrymen dozens of meters away kept shaking stone bags in their hands.

"Throwing !!"

Yeluyan pointed at Song Jun and roared.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Thousands of stone bags pressed towards the Song army like black clouds.

Caught off guard, hundreds of archers were knocked out by the stone bags, and the formation that had been arranged with great difficulty was also thrown into chaos.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Liao State had approached to twenty meters, and the oppression brought by the sound of horses' hooves and the impact on their faces made many Song soldiers tremble.

"Shoot me!!"

Yang Yanan secretly said that it was not good, and roared.

At this time, the archers no longer cared about the formation or not, and drew their bows and arrows to shoot at the Liao army.

However, after the oppression of the Liao army, the power of the arrows fired by the archers in a panic was greatly halved...

"Avoid!"

Ye Luyan sneered, and the whole person stuck to the side of the horse, calmly avoiding the rain of arrows...

Although the cavalry behind him did not have the exquisite riding skills of Yeluyan, in the face of this rain of arrows that was not lethal and even covered with different thicknesses, many people dodged.

Sparing this, thousands of arrows and a round of arrow rain still knocked over hundreds of horses and Liao soldiers.

"Kill me!"

Yeluyan let out a low roar and rushed towards the left flank army with a broadsword.

"Puff~"

Ye Luyan's ghost-headed broadsword kept flicking, directly tearing through the defense of the three-layer sword and shield soldiers.

The cavalry behind him screamed excitedly when they saw this, and they rushed over with their broadswords.

Like a sharp spear, the awl-shaped cavalry directly cut down the outer sword and shield soldiers, raising their broadswords and slaughtering the archers.

"Hugh be arrogant! I'll meet you! ”

Yang Yanan saw Ye Luyan slaughtering the soldiers of the Song army in a distance, and in a hurry, he raised his spear and rushed directly, intending to kill him and destroy the will of the Liao army.

Ye Luyan felt a murderous aura in the distance approaching this side, and when he looked up, he saw Yang Yanan coming with a gun and a horse. After slashing the soldiers on the left and right with two swords, he raised his breath and shouted, "Brothers! Don't be in love! ”

The bodies of thousands of cavalry shook slightly, and they turned their fronts and rushed to the direction of Hainan Pass!

"Hugh wants to escape!"

Yang Yanan saw that Yeluyan wanted to escape, so he immediately roared, took out the bow and arrow on his horse, and shot an arrow at Yeluyan's back!

"Huh!"

Arrows flew through hundreds of soldiers, and shot at Yeluyan's back with a devastating determination!

Ye Luyan, who was driving a horse and slashing all the way, also felt a chill in his back at this time, quickly turned around, and blocked the ghost-headed broadsword in his chest at the critical moment.

"Bell!"

The silver-white arrow burst into a spark on the ghost-headed broadsword, making a sharp sound.

It lasted for a full breath before the arrow fell weakly to the ground.

Ye Luyan's hand holding the knife was shocked and painful, and he looked up at Yang Yanan, who was killing this side, with a trace of surprise on his face, and muttered, "This kid..."

According to his previous personality, Ye Luyan will definitely rush forward to fight with Yang Yanan. But this time, with his keen intuition, he believes that this time Song Guo will not be simple. Just 80,000 people want to take Hainan Pass? Even the people of the Song Kingdom knew that this was impossible, but why the Song Kingdom did this, he didn't know. But... He's not going to sit still!

"Kill me!"

Yeluyan took the horse rope and turned his head, and led a light horse all the way to the front army to kill.

The formation of the left flank army was messy, and most of the archers in the middle could not stop the cavalry of the Liao State at all. It didn't take long for the three thousand light horsemen to leave behind only a puff of dust and smoke and... The soldiers of the Song Kingdom who died tragically.

"How... Possible! ”

Yang Yanan looked at the hard bow in his hand with a dull gaze, his face was full of disbelief, and muttered.

He has been archery since he was a child, and his unusual talent in the archery path made him the first in the Song Kingdom after more than ten years of hard training, even Yue Fei's archery skills are not as good as him. It can be said that there are no more than three people in the Song Kingdom who can block his cold arrow, but just now that person took the arrow he shot with all his strength, which made Yang Yanan quite devastated.

Yang Yanan's eyes were cold, looking at the road in front of him that was torn apart by the Liao army, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send a light cavalry to pursue it!" Cooperate with the front army to surround and kill the enemy army! ”

"No!"
