"Report! The king, the Song army set up a formation in the mountain pass ahead, and General Yerodgu's attack was shot back by the Song army's bow and crossbow. The messenger ran to Yixin to report.

"Oh? Song people don't run away? Yixin was overjoyed, and immediately ordered all the troops to follow, and they were bound to annihilate all the Song people in this mountain.

Urging the horse forward, Yixin couldn't help frowning. The mountains on both sides were not conducive to the cavalry galloping and it was difficult to outflank the troops, at this time he thought that the Song army was deliberately introducing the Liao army into this battlefield to limit the advantage of the Liao cavalry.

But since the Song army dared to march to Xijin Mansion, plundered the four fields, and alarmed the Liao lord, then he must annihilate the Song army on the spot, otherwise the face of the Liao Iron Cavalry will have nowhere to rest, and the blow to morale will be too great. So he was ready to annihilate the Song army in the mountains at any cost.

Having made up his mind, he ordered his subordinates to find a small road from both sides to make a detour to try to outflank the Song army.

When Yelu Degu saw Yixin's Daxu coming, he hurriedly went over to greet him, and immediately reported: "King, these Song people are not ordinary, and they must be dealt with carefully. ”

Yi Xin hurriedly asked: "Why not the general law?" ”

"Its cavalry and shooting are all first-class, and the two thousand-man teams chasing in front of the last general have suffered more than half of the casualties, but the Song people have not left a few corpses."

At this time, Yixin was also puzzled: "When did the Song people have such a powerful cavalry?" Is this still a Song person? ”

Seeing that Yerodgu could not answer this question, he had to look forward and say, "This king will personally see how these Song people are different. ”

At this time, Li Buqi had already commanded 500 cavalry to line up in the center of the road, and 1,000 crossbowmen occupied the slopes on both sides. A tentative attack by the Liao people just now was hit by a dense bow and crossbow blow that quickly collapsed, leaving behind more than a hundred corpses.

Seeing a group of Liao troops arriving, black pressure filled the funnel-shaped mountain plain in front of the valley, and before the pole and pole flag gathered, Li Buqi sneered slightly, looked back at the thousands of cattle crowded together in the long valley and said to the breeder: "Let's start." We don't have time to waste it with the Liao. ”

With a wicked smile on his face, he shouted to the trumpeter beside him, "Blow the trumpet!" Drive the cattle! Firecrackers! ”

The warriors immediately drove the herd towards the pass, and then set off gunpowder behind the herd, making a loud thud.

Yixin had just discussed with his generals about sending troops to dismount and attack the Song army with shields, but suddenly heard a thunderous sound behind the Song army, followed by the terrified howl of wild beasts. Everyone hurriedly looked up and saw that the cavalry of the Song army rushed up the hill in a panic, wishing that the horse would have two more legs. Almost at the same time, the earth seemed to tremble, and the black-pressed beasts screamed wildly and rushed out of the valley like a wild wave towards the Liao army's great array!

Yixin's first reaction was to shout: "Hurry up and release the arrow!" Stop the herd! ”

The ox is loose and not as easy to control as the horse, so the Liao army uses horses instead of cattle when attacking the enemy's formation. But Yixin understands that the power of the herd is even more terrifying, and if the herd is made crazy, it has the power to destroy the world.

Now that these generals are in front of the battle, they are the first to bear the brunt, and it is too late to dodge. Because there were tens of thousands of troops behind, all crammed into a funnel-shaped section sandwiched by two mountains, the more people there were, the more time-consuming the mobilization became, and I was afraid that before the order to let the rear army get out of the way was in place, the cattle would rush up. So now there is only hard resistance and a glimmer of life!

The Liao soldiers in front of the battle were all pale, and they hurriedly raised their bows and arrows to shoot desperately at the herd. The cow is already rough and thick-skinned, and it can't die if it shoots a few arrows, but because of the pain, it stimulates more ferocity. Many oxen were still spewing rough after being hit by several arrows in their bodies, staring at them with blood-red eyes and rushing straight towards the Liao army that was blocking them.

Finally, a cow with arrows stuck in his body fell to the ground with serious injuries, but the bull masters, who were tormented by the loud noise, the spurting flames and the pungent smell behind them, wanted to flee from this terrible environment, ignoring the fallen companions, stepping over the fallen ox, jumping over and continuing to rush towards the Liao ranks.

Some Liao soldiers threw away their bows and arrows, turned their horses' heads and tried to escape, but more than 20,000 people were crowded together, and the passages left between the phalanxes were immediately filled.

The herd of cattle collided with the men and horses of the Liao army with huge kinetic energy, and under the momentum of more than a thousand catties, no shields and armor were useless. The bull at the front pierced the horse's belly with sharp horns and provoked the human body. When they were stopped from stopping, the oxen behind knocked them down again, and then the flaming ox behind jumped high on the fallen ox and smashed it over the head of the knight on the horse......

Yixin and the others, under the protection of their own soldiers, were running backwards in the passage left between the various teams of men and horses, and when they looked back, they saw that the formation of the forwards had been broken down, and the cavalry was rushing backwards lifelessly. He hurriedly whipped two more whips on the horse's buttocks—this collapse of an army of tens of thousands was very terrible, and once he was knocked off the horse by the crowd, there would be no physiology—and now he was powerless, so he could only flee first.

While Li Buqi and Gao Zunyu stood on the hillside and tried to appease the war horses under their crotches, they couldn't help but be dizzy when they looked at the scene in front of them. The cavalry of the police division galloped behind the herd with medicinal puppets that spewed bright flames, and from time to time a few others holding iron pipes made a "tom tom" sound. The Niu Uncles, who were driven crazy by the flames and loud noises, ran faster than the horses at this time, stepping over piles of cattle, horses and human corpses into a fan and desperately running backwards to the Liao army, where the cattle and the Liao army converged, it was like the huge waves of two rivers colliding together to stir up huge waves.

And farther away, the Liao troops who fled by the way also collided with each other, especially the Liao troops who had just arrived from the rear before they could figure out what was going on.

Li Buqi saw that the dense corpses made it difficult for the cavalry to pass, so he ordered: "Let our people come back, don't chase after us." You need to hurry up, and there are still more than 300 miles to go. ”

Gao Zunyu touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "How did you come up with this method of patrolling?" Since I was a child, I have watched the medicine puppet during the New Year's Festival, but I never thought that this medicine puppet could be used like this. ”

Li Buqi smiled: "I have only recently started to pay attention to this gunpowder. The original intention was to set fire to the war horses used to set fire and scare the Liao people during the war. ”

Seeing that the seed was coming on horseback, Li Bu gave up and turned to the seed and asked, "What about the casualties?" ”

There was a crying and laughing expression on his face: "There are more than ten casualties, but none of them are caused by the Liao." Although the horses had seen gunpowder, they had never seen such a large battle, and many of them were frightened and turned people upside down, and a few of them were slow to hide and were knocked off their horses by oxen. ”

He didn't go on, but he didn't need to say more. If you look at the tragic situation of the Liao people, you can see that if you are knocked off the horse by the herd, there is absolutely no hope of survival.

Li Buqi glanced at the chaotic battlefield again, and said to Chongge: "You lead the cavalry to hold the mountain pass, and set off in half an hour." Now let the warriors dismount and rest, keep their vigilance, and don't cut off their heads. ”

Gao Zunyu interjected and asked: "Patrol the border, don't cut the head, how will we calculate the military merit after we go back?" The last general will see that it is impossible for the Liao people to come back for a while, so it is better to cut as much as they can. ”

Li Buqi glanced at Chong Ge, and saw his disdain for Gao Zunyu's words, and immediately made a clear judgment on the abilities of Gao Zunyu and Chong Ge. He patted Gao Zunyu on the shoulder and said, "Gongyu, you have to drive three hundred miles from here to Bauhinia Pass, and every bit of physical strength is precious. And maybe you have to fight continuously, and it is also a burden to carry these many heads. We plundered the Liao State this time, as long as we can return to the Great Song Dynasty, it will be a big victory if we do not repeat the mistakes of Yang Lao Linggong. More than 20,000 war horses are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan even if they only bring back half of them, and the others don't have to force more. Let's go, there is still a long way to go, and we must not let the Liao people stop under the Bauhinia Pass. ”

Li Buqi reminded him, Gao Zunyu also remembered that his life was important, and he glanced at the heads of people all over the ground in the distance, and then reluctantly followed Li Buqi on the westbound road. While urging the horse to run, Li Buqi lifted the book to feel the direction of the wind, and said meaningfully: "Ah! It's a south wind! ”
