Chapter 549: One Will Succeed and Ten Thousand Bones Will Wither

Zhao Gou taught everyone all the changes in the "Bagua Array", divided them into various formations, served as the commander, and told everyone to take his banner as an order and not act rashly.

Everyone wrote them down one by one, and then familiarized themselves with the changes in the formation again, and only went to rest for a while after mastering them.

The next day, Zhao Gou ordered the army to march straight to the city of Nanjing.

At the same time, there was silence in the city of Nanjing, and they saw that the Song army had arrived not far from the city of Nanjing, but they did not attack, which made them a little incomprehensible.

The governor of Youzhou continuously sent spies to inquire about the situation, the Song army has firmly sealed the army, and no news can be detected, the only thing that is known is that the Song army is arranging troops on a large scale, but I don't know what kind of formation to put up.

Until today, the Song army was under the capital, and the governor of Youzhou immediately ordered the three armies, opened the city gate, and the army poured out, like a surging river.

The uniform pace, the uniform armor, the same weapons. The Governor of Youzhou was the first to walk out, and the other generals followed.

The Song army, with Zhao Gou as the core, strode forward, and the two armies set up a position ten miles outside the city of Nanjing, and the two sides confronted each other.

"Array!"

Zhao Gou and the Metropolitan Governor of Youzhou shouted in unison, and the armies of both sides immediately kicked off the battle.

The two armies of Song and Liao put on a big formation for the first time, without the slightest greeting, and they were not even willing to report, and some were just tense and looked like enemies of life and death.

Zhao Gou retreated from the front to the position of the Chinese army, and the governor of Youzhou also retreated to the rear. Zhao Gou stood on the tower of the Chinese army, just in time to see the battlefield, it watched intently the movement of the Liao army, and gradually changed from curiosity to surprise.

"Is that strategy map real?" Zhao Gou was secretly taken aback, he didn't expect that the enemy's strategic map that he had some suspicions about was actually genuine, not a trap.

I saw that the Liao army was arranged according to the march on the strategic map and set up a good position. Zhao Gou also set up a formation, and all the generals were scattered to eight directions, corresponding one by one, and the crossbow formation team led by Zhao Yougong took the lead.

The Governor of Youzhou saw that Song Jun was in a formation, but it was an unheard of and unseen formation, and he frowned secretly, he really couldn't figure out what kind of formation this was.

"Wuhou Eight Array Diagram!"

However, the general in a large array in the Liao army was taken aback, looked carefully, and secretly estimated that the formation placed by the Song army in front of him was a "gossip array".

"Coach Song Jun is just a heroic young man, how could he have such a great ability to put on such a formation?"

The man bowed his head and pondered, secretly admiring himself, and silently thought: "Now I know why you respect him so much, and let me help him secretly, it turns out that this is the case!" ”

Even if he saw it, he didn't plan to tell the governor of Youzhou. Some people don't know the generals, and there is a look of disdain on their faces, they are numerous, and such a nondescript formation is not vulnerable in their eyes.

"Kill!"

There were also warriors in the Liao army, and after they set up their positions, they immediately led their troops to kill them. However, the Song army also began to change formations, and the more than 8,000 people led by Zhao Yougong immediately took out the Divine Arm Bow, and when they arrived within the attack range, they let them enter a hundred meters in the forbidden area, and then Zhao Yougong began to order the launch.

Due to the large lethality of the Divine Arm Bow and the limited range of damage, this was also decided by Zhao Gou after repeated consideration. Because the distance is closer, the power is stronger, and the ground damage caused by the second attack is much greater than the previous damage.

The Liao army had never seen the Divine Arm Bow, and when they saw them resisting with a crossbow array, they thought of the great wars of the past, so they didn't have to worry at all, and then continued to attack. It's a pity that they miscalculated this time, the Divine Arm Bow is too lethal.

I saw Zhao Yougong give an order, and more than 8,000 soldiers picked up the Divine Arm Bow and began to shoot. Moreover, they were divided into three waves of two or eight thousand, and they were launched in turn.

The ruthless arrows left the divine arm bow, with the help of strong force, shot forward again and again, even if the Liao army was numerous, and quickly wiped out the forward troops, the cold arrows ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Liao soldiers, some were pierced through the chest on the spot, the power was not reduced, and they still galloped away, directly piercing the six before stopping.

Seeing this situation, the Liao army hurriedly stepped forward, and the cavalry retreated, but unfortunately although the cavalry retreated quickly, it was still difficult to resist the overwhelming offensive, and then the Liao cavalry lost more than 3,000 soldiers.

The shield corps, covering the retreat of the cavalry, also suffered a serious blow, with more than 2,000 dead and wounded. Those sturdy shields were shattered with huge attack power, which shows how powerful such a place is.

After the first battle of the crossbow array, after the victory, the morale of the Song army was high. Due to the limited number of arrows, Zhao Gou waved the ground battle flag in his hand and withdrew the crossbow array to the rear. Then, he changed his formation and killed again. It's just that this time, the triangular attack formation composed of Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Yue Fei frantically killed the Liao soldiers.

The Liao army immediately changed formations, and more than a dozen small formations around it converged, wanting to besiege Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei and others.

Seeing this, Zhao Gou immediately asked them to retreat, and changed to the "Bird Xiang Array" led by Lu Junyi, Song Jiang, and Lin Chong to defend and rescue, and when Han Shizhong and the others retreated safely, they came back again.

Zhao Gou commanded the overall situation, and everyone cooperated with each other tacitly, which made the Liao generals helpless and could only be beaten passively. The most important thing is that the Liao army has a large number of people, but the formation was leaked one step earlier, and it was learned by the Song army, and the changes and nodes in it were all understood by the Song army, how to get out of the predicament.

Now the Song army used the "Bagua Array" to catch them off guard, and they were powerless to resist, and the Liao army was gloomy.

"What kind of formation did the Song army use, and it was so powerful?" Most of the governors of Youzhou were angry and worried, if the surplus Song army of 20,000 troops was defeated, it would be really difficult to explain.

In addition, after several battles, the Liao army has suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the Song army has only more than 1,000 people, which makes the Liaozu generals depressed and restless, they have never seen such a formation, and they have never seen such an offensive, as if history has been reversed.

In the past, the Song army was in front of the Liao army, it was vulnerable, and there was no need to worry about it at all, but now the Song army is pressing the Liao army to fight, just like beating a water dog.

Zhao Gou passed through the gap between the Liao army's change formation, and the battle flag in his hand was constantly waving, and the commander of the Liao army also saw that all this was because of Zhao Gou, ordered the archers to prepare, and let the cavalry follow, smashing the Yellow Dragon, wanting to defeat Zhao Gou in one fell swoop. As long as he is killed, then this formation will be broken.

It's a pity that the cavalry are also people, they have just experienced a battle, and they have suffered heavy casualties, which makes them fearful, demoralized, slow, and unable to keep up with the rhythm.

As for the archers, they were all wiped out and wiped out by the Song army. After the fierce battle of the two and the hour, the Liao army suffered mentally and physically, while the Song army was full of spirit, and in comparison, it was clear who would win and who would lose.

Due to the leakage of military information, the Song army found the right time and directly disrupted all the formations of the Liao army, not to mention, but even killed them and retreated, unable to break through the defense of the Song army at all.

Seeing this situation, the governor of Youzhou was blind, and ordered to retreat, but he was already being pressed by the Song army step by step, so he could only give it a go.

"Brothers, kill!"

He personally put on the battle and led the soldiers to kill the past, and he was bound to break out of the encirclement and give the generals a way to live.

However, the "Bagua Array" is too weird, unpredictable, and corresponds to each other, which cannot be broken. In the end, in desperation, they could only choose one place to attack, but it was a pity that they entered the "Dragon Flying Array" guarded by Gao Pet, and this formation was a big killing formation.

Gao Zhong wears a silver mask, which is his essential tool, and it is also Zhao Go's suggestion. Gao Pet single-handedly moved forward to kill, one man was the key to ten thousand people, even if it was cavalry and heavy armor in front of him, there was no point at all, come one to kill one, come to two to kill a pair.

No one in the Liao army can match Gao Favor, and the battle between the two sides is not only a battle of wisdom, but also a battle of generals. If there is not much difference in the combat effectiveness of the generals of the two sides, then there is a huge disparity between victory and defeat; If there is a huge difference in combat effectiveness, then the battle will be one-sided.

Gao Pet single-handedly broke in and out, even if it was thousands of troops and horses, he was still not afraid, killing three in and three out, the Liao army could only watch him go, and Zhao Gou commanded others to assist, this is cooperation and trust.

At the same time, Zhao Gou came out of the Chinese army, put on a battle, and directly led the army to put on a "sky overthrow array", and all the generals gathered together. The crossbow array was pressed in the rear, but at this time it was replaced by an ordinary bow and arrow, not a divine arm bow.

Zhao Gou personally led the army to attack, which made the Song army, whose morale was high, energetic again, as if they had eaten stimulants, and those tired soldiers were also shocked, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and kept attacking.

Now the Song army launched an attack again, Niu Gao, Gao Chong, Lin Chong, Zhao Yougong, Han Shizhong and others were all generals with one as ten, brave and brave, they charged into battle, and the soldiers followed, like a surging river, continuous attack.

The formation of the Liao army was completely disrupted, and the cavalry was killed by Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng and others, and they forgot to cooperate and deal with it, and their only thought was to evacuate.

Now that the Song army has the upper hand, the defeat of the Liao army has become a sure fact. As a last resort, the Metropolitan Governor had no choice but to order a retreat, even if there was no way out, he had to fight his way out and fight for the last hope.

Zhao Gou took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued to encircle and intercept, which made the Liao army even more anxious to stay away from the battlefield, and Gao Zhong and others were even more ruthless, cleaning up the enemy army one by one with spears in their hands, and countless Liao soldiers died in the hands of the Song army, and there were bloody corpses everywhere.

"Your boss is dead, don't surrender quickly, surrender without killing!" Zhao Gou carried the head of the Metropolitan Governor of Youzhou and shouted violently, and there was blood flowing out of the skull in his hand, and his eyes were all stunned, as if he was frightened.

Zhao Gou rushed out, and went straight to the team of the Grand Governor. If the battle lasted for a long time, not only would the soldiers not be able to hold on, but even the victory or defeat would change, so he would take a team with the assistance of others and finally take the head of the Grand Governor.

When the Liao army saw that the commander was dead, they also lost their sense of battle, and were completely defeated by the Song army, and finally had to choose to abandon their weapons and surrender.

The Battle of Youzhou has come to an end, Zhao Gou leaned over and saw corpses everywhere, and they could be seen everywhere on the flat plains, and in some places they were piled up into mountains, full of desolation.

Among them, there were soldiers of the Liao army and soldiers of the Song army. Although Nanjing City was captured, the Song army also paid a certain price, which made Zhao Gou feel a lot of emotion.

"One will make ten thousand bones dry!"

Zhao Gou knew that the exploits of the generals were all stepping on the pile of dead people, and no one knew whether he would still be there at the next moment, and his hands were full of unknown blood, all of which was an inevitable result, because he didn't want to be beaten backward and be violated by other countries' territorial sovereignty, this battle must be fought, this is Zhao Gou's determination, and it is also his lifelong pursuit.
