Chapter 524: Fighting for Life
Layers of darkness shrouded the land of Guanzhong.
When he heard the sound of countless fine sharp weapons breaking through the air in the air, Lao Li Tou only had time to roar out an "enemy attack" and fell in a pool of blood with the hundred and ten Zaoyang soldiers under his command. Dense arrows filled the earth like rice stalks. The torches that fell to the ground were gradually extinguished in the gurgling blood.
With the last bit of afterglow, Lao Li Tou saw countless Mongolians appear in the dark, the crystal sword light flashed, and Lao Li Tou's memory began to stop.
The Mongolian barbarians really couldn't help but come.
In the darkness, countless Mongolian soldiers wearing leather armor appeared, picked up the arrows on the ground and put them back into the quiver, and then silently raised the saber in his hand, neatly cut off the heads of the Zaoyang soldiers lying in a pool of blood, and then strung them up and tied them around their waists. Walk on the blood-stained ground and continue to move forward.
Such a scene is not uncommon outside the Zaoyang Army's defense line on the front line of Jingzhao Mansion.
Everything is like a pantomime, except that this scene is full of blood and tyranny, but it is more heart-wrenching than the sound of fighting.
pantomime, which was eventually broken by a rocket.
As a rocket pierced the sky and crashed into the darkness, a few more sparks suddenly appeared under the heavy night sky, and then a flame more than ten feet high rose into the air, reflecting half of the night sky in blood red.
With the volcano rising to the sky, the originally silent earth suddenly came to life.
"Bell, bell!"
The rapid sound of gold was combined with the sound of "enemy attack" and "Mongolian barbarians coming" one after another, and hot blood flowers began to bloom under this red night sky.
Umershan and Duliang, who were sitting on their horses, glanced at each other.
"The Song people are really treacherous, and there are even hidden piles."
Du Liang's face was gloomy, you must know that the first to clean up the Zaoyang army scouts, but they were all the elites under Umr Shan, if it wasn't for the Zaoyang army ambushing the hidden pile, and the firewood pile had already been set up for the warning rocket to ignite, and the elite scouts under Umr Shan's men swept the Song army scouts outside the empty Zaoyang army fortress, Du Liang was ninety percent sure that he would be able to send the head of the Song army general to the Shuai tent in Subutai tonight.
Obviously, for the rest of the month, his act of shrinking his head and turtle did not dispel the vigilance of the Song people.
"Under Meng Hui's account, how can there be mediocrity? I'm afraid I'm thinking too much. ”
Umrshan glanced at this former colleague and snorted coldly.
He could understand Du Liang's mood, but at this moment, Du Liang obviously no longer had the courage of a Mongolian man, and only thought about sneaking around, but he didn't think about taking back the glory he had lost. It seems that Meng Heng's first battle has completely destroyed Du Liang's courage.
Umurshan has already decided, even if Du Liang can complete the task assigned to him by the Marshal of Subutai today, he will persuade the Marshal of Subutai to exile Du Liang to the Khan Capital after he goes back.
Du Liang could naturally hear the mockery in Umrshan's words, but at this moment, he asked for Imershan, but he didn't dare to refute anything, so he had to laugh dryly.
"Now that you have been discovered by the Song people, you can only fight with dignity, and now you have 120,000 troops in your hands, including 30,000 of my Mongolian elites and 20,000 elite horsemen around the marshal, if you can't take off the head of the Song general and send it to the marshal's tent, I advise you to die here, more happily."
Umurshan looked at Du Liang's eyes with even more displeasure, he didn't understand why the big marshal wanted to give Du Liang a chance.
"This way, the Meng Heng lineage behind the Song army, I can only help you block it for two hours."
With that, Umr turned his horse's head and walked away.
As Umershan departed, countless Mongolian horsemen in leather armor roared past.
Looking at the large number of Mongolian elite horsemen who followed Umrshan away, Du Liang's face turned pale.
He knew that his performance had made Umrshan change his mind. You must know that when he was in Jingzhaofu City before, Umurshan said that he would hand over all the Meng Jue descendants behind the Song army to him, instead of two hours. Now it has been two hours.
Umrshan gave him two hours of time, and after two hours, the Song army would rush to the aid of the Song army, counting the hundred miles in the middle, and he would only have four hours to solve the Song army.
In four hours, the Song army, which was almost the same in strength, was defeated and had to take the head of the Song army's commander, Du Liang did not have any confidence in his heart. Even with the 20,000 elite cavalry left behind by Umr Shan. The cavalry did not seem to have much of a role at all in the night battle, except for wandering and plundering the formation.
What's more, outside the Song army camp, there are a large number of fortresses that he once built himself to use, these fortresses are there, and it is impossible for the cavalry to approach the Song army camp, let alone charge the battle.
It's going to force me to die.
Du Liang stared at the roaring away Umrshan resentfully, and muttered.
"The herald ordered the army to be divided into three divisions and attacked in turn, and this fortress must be swept away within an hour. All the cavalry obeyed the order, and you and others divided into four teams and roamed the entire battle line, but anyone who was afraid of the battle and retreated from the battle was shot at will. The first person to enter the camp of the Song army will be rewarded with 1,000 cattle and sheep, 100 taels of gold, and 10 Song maids. ”
Du Liang, who had been forced to retreat, rose up with the last courage in his heart and said viciously.
In fact, he is not a waste, he can become a confidant of Subutai, if he doesn't have a little ability, how can he be?
Fortunately, there is another advantage to him, that is, the fortresses used by the Song people were all built by him in the original Liang, even if the Song people have changed in this month, there will not be many changes in the future. Everything in this fortress, where there are secret passages, where soldiers can be hidden, and where they are weak, he knows it all.
More importantly, these fortresses were originally aimed at the Song army coming from the west, so the main focus of defense was aimed at the east, and the back of the fortress was also close to the direction of Jingzhao Mansion, but it was the weakest place of these fortress groups.
Now he has 70,000 servant troops of Western Xia and Tubo in his hands, and Du Liang doesn't care about the lives of these servant troops. Even if it is filled with life, the beam will be filled in by this fortress before dawn.
Du Liang's military order quickly spread throughout the army, and it immediately aroused the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling.
This was not a wail, but the excited shouts of the servant armies of Western Xia and Tibet.
With the shout, countless soldiers of Western Xia and Tubo wore simple leather armor and waved the blades in their hands, and completely crushed the western defense line of the Zaoyang army from three directions at the same time. Waves of people slammed into the civil fortress of the Zaoyang Army, blooming countless blood flowers.
