Chapter 1066: Yelu Yanxi is crazy

In the faintly visible sky, the figures of a group of cavalry suddenly appeared in the distance of the sight of the Xiangzhou regiment training army on duty at night. It was only then that the sound of horses' hooves was heard. Needless to say, this is a large group of cavalry, all wrapped in cloth on the hooves, the title of the person, and the horse picks the bell. Sent troops last night and pounced on the Song army camp.

It was not only the cavalry that came, but also the infantry of the Sijie Army and the Jingzhou Soldiers of the brigade, all of whom came like a tide. These Liao cavalry, armed with guns or bows, formed a brigade of two or three hundred horsemen, galloping around the Song army's camp, as if trying to find the Song cavalry to cover the camp, but found nothing.

Most of the infantry were heavily armoured, holding strong shields, swords and spears, and some Jingzhou soldiers with only robes to cover their bodies walked in the forefront pushing the temporarily modified shield cart! These shield carts were all modified from horse-drawn carriages loaded with gold, silver, silk, silk and copper coins to go to Liaoying. It was to nail the wooden rod to the board cart, and then pushed by the strong soldiers to resist the Tianjin crossbow of the Song army!

Nearer, the sound of horses' hooves, shouts, and rolling wheels finally mingled into a rumbling sound. 20,000 regiments of soldiers trained on the east bank of the Qi River (and half of the regiments were trained on the west bank of the Qi River)!

The mournful shouts of the Xiangzhou regiment on duty sounded: "Enemy attack! Liao soldiers! ”

More mournful shouts also rang out immediately, and the sound of golden drums above the watchtower sounded loudly, and the alarm was desperately tapped. The soldiers of the regiment who were resting in the camp were all alarmed, and they all came out of the tent in a disorder, and most of them had neither swords nor armor in their hands, but just looked with their mouths open, and did not know what to do.

"Armor! Copy guys! ”

The leaders of the regimental training army finally reacted and shouted tremblingly. These people were not well-trained professional officers, but they were some armed landlords in Xiangzhou. By the standards of later generations, it was a bully landlord!

Although the two Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, they did not have the fame of showing talent and raising people. If the scholars of the Song Dynasty could not get into the Jinshi, they would be poor and big. The power in the local area is not at all comparable to the bully landlord who knows how to do martial arts and can raise a few thugs. The latter can at least take over the armor, act as a bureaucracy, and suppress the locality.

Therefore, in a hurry, a famous family like the Han family in Xiangzhou can use these bully landlords to quickly gather a group of people to practice armor.

However, this group of bully landlords is not a professional officer after all, and they have not been on the battlefield much, and after Song Liao negotiated peace, the tense nerves were also relaxed, and there was still a little disappointment in his heart - for the regimental trainers, the sudden end of the war meant economic losses, and these bully officers lost the opportunity to get official status. Therefore, they relaxed the control of their subordinates, and even let them go, many people drank last night, and they were dizzy for a while, and they didn't know what to do?

Zong Ze reacted immediately, and ordered loudly at the top of his voice: "Each battalion will send people to guard the camp wall immediately!" All battalions and teams must not mess with themselves, at this time, those who disturb the hearts of the army will be beheaded! In addition, immediately send someone to cross the river to ask for help from Captain Gao!

Everyone is in their place, and a certain one is in the middle to supervise the war. Liao dog can't break the camp! As long as he holds out until dawn, Captain Gao will lead the army to help. When the time comes, everyone will have credit! ”

Most of the personal soldiers behind Zong Ze should go away and give orders to the various battalions. Surrounded by the remaining soldiers, Zong Ze strode towards the camp where the copper coins were stored. Zong Ze, who has been training with the regiment for several months, knows that copper coins are the best way to boost morale! Don't look at the low morale now, they are almost to the eighteenth floor underground, but as long as a basket of copper coins is carried out, the morale of the regimental training over there will be back immediately.

At this time, Zong Ze was also confused. What exactly does the Liao mean? After taking so much money, you have to go back to the alliance and sneak attack!

Could it be that Yelu Yanxi really wants to enter the Central Plains? Who does he think he is? Is it Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang?

It's insane!

……

The battlefield west of the Qi River is an open place. The Liao people's brigade rode on foot and approached the Song army camp under the cover of night. As the sky brightened, it was finally possible to confirm the fact that Yelu Yanxi was really crazy!

The soldiers and horses dispatched by the Liao army were boundless, and behind the cavalry of the brigade, there were countless infantry, covering almost all the battle lines!

The crossbowmen of the Xiangzhou regiment training army finally went up to the wall under the encouragement of the copper coins of the big basket and stood behind the chest wall stacked with sandbags. All the crossbow machines are on the arrowheads, and the heads of the crossbow machines are all pointing to the sky! The leading officers of each team, with a handful of cold sweat in their palms, watched as the infantry of the Liao army pushed the shield cart, gradually approaching their own firing range.

Although these shield carts are the simplest instruments, they suddenly hit the dead end of the Xiangzhou regiment's training.

This regiment is just a newly opened militia, and it does not have strong combat power, and it can still maintain combat by relying on Tianjin crossbow shooting, but it is not possible to ask them to line up in hand-to-hand combat.

In the era of cold weapons, the truly powerful infantry is always the heavy infantry who can attack with perseverance and engage in white-knuckle combat with the enemy. The kind of infantry that can only shoot arrows can hardly inflict a real fatal blow on the enemy.

No matter how powerful the Divine Arm Bow is, it can't compare to the spear array that is advancing like a forest!

From this point of view, Yelu Yanxi's strategy of avoiding Wu Haogu's new army and launching an offensive on the Hebei West Road was completely correct. Because the infantry cavalry under the command of Wu Haogu, whose main tactics were to attack in array and fight white-knuckle battles, it was easy to bleed a large number of Khitans.

In the current battle, because the crossbow machine can only shoot directly, the projectile effect is extremely poor, and it seems that it is difficult to exert its power in the face of the Liao army pushing the shield cart over.

Just when the crossbowmen and the officers leading the Xiangzhou regimental training army were at a loss (the quality was too poor, if it was a knight academy officer of Wu Haogu, he would not panic at all, and the shield car would not be able to cross the trench at all), the shield car stopped advancing more than 30 steps away from the wall of the Xiangzhou regimental training camp.

"Why didn't they move?" Zong Ze, who had already climbed a high platform, asked the military opportunity of the Xiangzhou regiment training army around him.

A Xiao Zijun from the Han family replied: "They are going to throw feather arrows!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of a taut bowstring. Then I saw the arrows in the sky flying at a very fast speed, throwing a perfect arc, and then falling like raindrops.

The landing point is very accurate, which is the wall head of the Xiangzhou military camp.

The archers of the Liao people shot armor-piercing heavy arrows, which dealt a great blow to the Xiangzhou regimental training army, which only had paper armor and leather helmets to protect itself - although the Xiangzhou regimental training army had received the limpage armor provided by Ji Yi, there were not many of them, and only cavalry and officers were equipped. Ordinary soldiers only have paper armor and leather helmets. Under the dense heavy arrow covering the blow, many people suddenly fell screaming.

Hearing the screams of the crossbowmen under his command, the little bullies who led the team also panicked and ordered to fight back.

This is of course a terribly wrong decision! Because the standard tactic developed by the Knight Academy for the Tianjin crossbow is to shoot at close range, that is, to cast all the firepower at once, without seeking continuous firepower. So after each superposition, there will be a period of fire vacuum.

If the firepower of the superimposed fire can be fully developed, then the defects of the firepower vacuum period are not at all nothing. Because the lethality of the Tianjin crossbow is something that most armies in this era cannot bear. After a round of stacked shots, the spear assault is it!

However, in this morning's battle, the crossbowmen of the Xiangzhou regiment, who were in a hurry, shot all the arrows at the enemy's shield carts.

The Jingzhou soldiers of the Liao State who were guarding the back of the shield car had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and they took advantage of the vacuum period after the Tianjin crossbow was stacked and fired, carrying the dirt bags from the passage flowing out of the shield workshop, and throwing the earth bags into the trench in front of the shield car.

The Liao people originally wanted to fill in the trenches, and then pushed the shield cart all the way to the wall that the Xiangzhou regiment held on!

Zong Ze, who witnessed all this on the high platform, turned pale, and immediately yelled at the soldiers around him, "Quick, go to Captain Gao and the Han regiment training office, and let them immediately send troops to rescue!" ”

……

Gao Yu already knew at this time that the Liao people were struggling to camp!

His reaction was similar to Zong Ze's, and he was a little confused all of a sudden.

What the hell is going on? The Liao people have just received the money, why are they treacherous? Could it be that Yelu Yanxi wants to take over the Great Song Dynasty? Can't, he doesn't want to Xijin Mansion?

Not good! Wu Haogu must have retired from Xijin Mansion...... His army came victorious, defeated and returned, and it was not so easy to mobilize again.

Now that the crisis on the eastern front of the Liao people has been lifted, they can concentrate on the western front! Yelu Yanxi concentrated his forces to attack his own battalion, which was to destroy the Lingzhou army and the Xiangzhou army in one fell swoop!

If the two armies of the spirit and the phase are defeated. There are only four generals left in the Kaifeng Model New Army to defend Kaifeng Mansion...... However, the Kaifeng Model New Army is not equipped with cavalry, and its field combat ability will be severely discounted.

Without the ability to fight in the field, it is naturally impossible to resist the Liao soldiers to control the Yellow River embankment!

"Gao Yu misleads the country! Gao Yu misled the country! ”

Captain Gao, who had scared himself enough, yelled twice, startling the three generals Li Yongqi, Wu Song and Yang Keshi in the tent.

"Taiwei don't panic," Wu Song, the general of the Lingzhou infantry army, patted his chest and said, "The camp on the west bank of the Qi River is guarded by a certain person, and it is foolproof!" And let Zongtong abandon Dongzhai and retreat across the Qi River. ”

Li Yongqi also said: "Taiwei, what Second Brother Wu said is very good, let Zong Tong sentence to retreat across the Qi River." The materials of our army are all in the camp in Hexi, as long as Hexi is not lost, the Liao people are helpless. ”

"How can you be helpless?" Gao Yu stomped his feet, "Lord Liao will next meet the troops to the Yellow River embankment!" As long as the embankment is dug when the warm water rises in the spring of the next year, Kaifeng Mansion will be flooded! ”

Yes......

This imagination is too rich!

Li Yongqi and Wu Song were stunned. Yang Keshi asked on the side: "Taiwei, how should we deal with it?" ”

"Wu Erlang," Gao Yu said, "Your headquarters is ready to fight and ready to attack at any time!" Then he said to Yang Keshi, "Spread out the rangers, and you must find out the movements of the Liao people!" ”
