Chapter 477: Attacking Yuanshi County
Zhao Long glared. He shouted: "Don't underestimate the enemy." This is the carelessness of the Liao soldiers. Fall back. Let the infantry settle the battle. ”
The 300 cavalry led by Zhao Long was almost unkilled. But it disrupted the Liao army. Killed and wounded hundreds. Immediately after him, Shan Shiqi led 4,000 infantry to rush in. One by one, the infantry stopped their spears. Shouted, "Kill." ”
These strong men participated in the defense of Shimen Town. It can also be called a soldier. Of course. The combat experience is still like that. The method taught by the veterans is one word. Stab. As fast as possible. Maximum strength. Stab down the enemy. You are safe.
The infantry came in. The frightened Liao soldiers were terrified. It was all pikemen. It was often four or five people who stabbed a Liao soldier with a spear. Directly pierced with holes. There is no need for separate processing to make a sieve.
The battle did not end until dawn. The infantry won a great victory. Annihilation of the Liao soldiers. The houses that serve as warehouses are filled with wheat, soybeans, and Tenno rice.
Zhao Long said: "Now there is no need to worry about logistics. There are seven or eight hundred thousand catties of so much grain. ”
Luda said: "The cavalry takes twenty catties of grain each. The infantry took ten pounds of food each. The rest told the people in the vicinity to come and pick it up. We can't bring more. Otherwise, mobility will be affected. ”
The soldiers sprang into action. Everyone found a small cloth bag and something like that, and filled it with ten catties and twenty catties of grain. Then a quick evacuation.
There are a lot of people in the nearby villages. I heard that there is a lot of food here that you can take as much as you want. Hula came a lot of people. The old man pushes the cart. The strong man drove the horses. The grain that the Liao soldiers had worked so hard to loot was emptied.
Of course, these are not related to Ruda and others. The soldiers had a feast on the site. Rest until noon. The men and horses turned in the direction of Yuanshi County.
Yuanshi County had already been conquered by the Liao army. The county seat is not large. But there were a lot of Liao soldiers. Not to mention thousands. Ruda saw that although he had a lot of infantry. But he can't attack the city. He immediately said, "Wait outside the city gates." The Liao soldiers must have come out to rob. When the time comes, our cavalry will charge. Annihilation counts as much as you want. ”
This time it was the turn of the infantry led by Shan Shiqi to rest. Luda and Zhao Long led more than 1,000 cavalry. Waiting in the neighborhood. The Liao soldiers in the city did not find the cavalry. In the afternoon came out five hundred infantry. Pull the car. I guess I went to a nearby village to loot.
Ruda didn't move easily. waited until the Liao soldiers were four miles away from the city and launched the cavalry. Iron hooves strike the earth. The man shouted and the horse neighed and charged towards the Liao soldiers. This group of Liao soldiers is all infantry. The weapons they took were nothing more than broadswords, spears, maces, and the like. It's bad luck now. The cavalry archer first fired a round of crossbow arrows. Shot down more than 100 Liao soldiers. Immediately followed by a round of bows and arrows, the Liao soldiers continued to attrition. That is, there are more than 200 people left. Just two more rounds of arrow rain will be reimbursed. However, at this time, there were Liao soldiers in Yuanshi County, who had already discovered the situation. Began to transfer troops out of the city.
Zhao Long led the lancers to rush up. White-knuckle fighting. At the cost of more than 10 cavalry casualties, 500 Liao soldiers were annihilated.
"Retreat. There can be no delay. Ruda gave an order. Lead the cavalry back along the road. returned to the Liao soldier warehouse by Panlong Lake.
Shan Shiqi said: "The Liao soldiers in Yuan's county will definitely think of this. How to send troops to resist. ”
Ruda said: "They shouldn't know that this warehouse has been lost. Reinforcements are for sure. If there are few soldiers, we will eat them. If there are more troops, we will retreat. ”
Really. It didn't take long. Horse Exploration returns. He said, "Three thousand Liao soldiers came." Among them, there were about 1,000 Liao soldiers. Two thousand infantry. ”
Zhao Long stomped his foot: "It would be nice if we had more soldiers." can take the opportunity to take the county seat of Yuanshi. Now the Yuan clan has very few designated troops. ”
"There are too many troops," Rueda said. Can't resist. The Sprinkle family took people to harass them. Retreat first. ”
Ruda led the cavalry cavalry archers. Greeted thousands. Cavalry archers do not pay attention to hard charges. They all piggyback on their feet for two rounds of arrow rain. More than 200 Liao soldiers were killed and wounded. The cavalry of the Liao army was furious. Be on somebody's trail. One in front. One in the back. Shoot at each other. There were casualties among each other. However, soon the Liao soldiers stopped pursuing. For elsewhere there was the sound of cavalry horns. Zhao Long led the lancers to attack the Liao infantry. The Liao cavalry had to pay a return visit.
watched as Luda and the others evacuated smoothly. Retreat in the direction of Emperor Zan. The Liao soldiers quickly informed the defenders of the Zanhuang army. Beware of this Song army.
The march reached about ten o'clock in the evening. Stopped outside a small village. Light a campfire. The infantrymen snuggled up to each other. The cavalrymen were covered with capes.
I'm asleep. I heard the officer on duty shouting: "Stop." What the hell. ”
The officer led more than a dozen cavalrymen with crossbow arrows to surround several people who were probing their brains. These men saw the faces of the cavalry clearly, but they were not afraid. Said: "You are the Jeju army that fought the Liao soldiers." We are the people of this village. Seeing you spend the night nearby. Come and have a look. ”
Ruda heard the voice and rushed over. "It's us." It's just this big night. It's okay, go back to sleep. ”
The first person said: "I am the head of this village. It's too cold to spend the night in the wild. I've got something for you. Please also smile at your army. ”
The man beckoned. Dozens of people came from the direction of the village. Carrying a few sheep that had been killed. There are also some large ginger, dry firewood, and so on.
Ruda called the quartermaster. I took a few taels of silver. To the village chief. said: "You can't take things for nothing. There are regulations in the army. We must not develop the habit of taking the people's things for nothing. ”
Where is the village chief willing to collect. But I accepted it.
The village chief said: "I think you are the general in the army." Bitter cold in the wild. It's better to go to the village to rest. ”
Luda said: "It is precisely because of the bitter cold in the wild that the family cannot go to the village to rest. The Sprinkler family wants to be with the soldiers. Nothing else is required. It is inconvenient to chop firewood on a big black day. You ask someone to bring some more. ”
Immediately, the village chief brought some firewood. Luda persuaded the village chief to organize the village as soon as possible. Be on your guard. lest the Liao army come to the village and panic. Caused heavy casualties.
Ruda made people boil mutton and ginger soup. Everyone warmed up with a sip of soup. There were also more campfires. Dispelled the bitter cold. One night. Three officers, Luda, Shan Shiqi and Zhao Long, led the team on duty. The night was uneventful.
When the villagers woke up early in the morning, they found that the army that had camped outside the village last night was gone. Except for the ashes of the campfire. The others even cleaned up the bones that were left over from eating.
The village chief was stunned. Exclaimed: "Don't disturb the people." He did not take anything from the people. What a good troops. ”
It turned out that Ruda, who had been early in the morning, led the team back again. Zhao Long asked, "What are we going back to the Yuan clan for?" ”
"You wouldn't have thought we'd go back again. The enemy didn't even think that we would go back. We're wolves now. They are our sheep. When I went back, of course, I ate meat. Ruda said.
