Chapter 346: On the banks of the Gansang River
South of Pinglu City, on the bank of the Gansang River. No one knows the beauty of the Kansang River, just as no one knows the past of the Kansang River. In this land of the Liao people, there is this river, which has carried thousands of years of wind and frost.
The sun shone on the Gansang River, and the afterglow was full of clear water, and the blue sky was like a vast curtain, covering the entire land. As the warm sun went west, the red clouds slowly hung in the sky, like a drifting cloud dyed with red blood, which made people's hearts tremble slightly. There used to be an ancient saying that on the banks of the Gansang River, there is as much love, as much bravery, as much simplicity as there is, and how much brilliance. The Gansang River flows quietly, the Khitan people never know the greatness of the Gansang River, without this river, thousands of cattle and sheep will die in the northwest grassland. This is the source of the Han family's sons and daughters to cultivate and graze in the northwest, so one day it will be taken back.
Walking on the riverside at sunset, the figure dragged long, reflected in the water, floating in the wind. Zhao Yougong touched his chest with his hand, he loved this land, he loved this river, it would not be too far, he wanted to take back Wuzhou City and put the Gansang River back in the arms of the Great Song Dynasty. He is not Zhao Ji, and he will never be Zhao Ji.
A man dressed in silver armor and a golden belt around his waist, the breeze blows, his long hair flutters in his ears, and he looks tall and majestic in the sunset, and his momentum is extraordinary, but who knows that Zhao Yougong is only twenty years old this year.
Suffering can ruin a person, but it can also create a hero, a different person, a different life trajectory. Lowered his body and held a handful of water, cold and refreshing, should I thank Zhao Ji? If it weren't for him pressing step by step, maybe he would be like Liu Adou, who was muddy and had lived a mediocre life. Wood Woman's own brocade handed over. Look at this man. She has deep eyes. Full of friendship, "Thief, do we really want to fight?" ”
"Of course you have to fight, if you want to take Wuzhou City, you have to fight, and you have to fight hard!" Zhao Yougong wiped his hands, looked up at the sunset on the left, it was about to set, I think Bushe is almost there, right? This battle must be fought. Because Zhao Yougong wants Wuzhou City, if he doesn't want Wuzhou City, he doesn't need to fight viciously, he just needs to escape, and he will collapse at the first touch, isn't it the style of the soldiers and horses of Tongzhou?
Tongzhou soldiers have always been synonymous with old soldiers, and they are much worse than the most annoying aristocratic soldiers in Daliao. In Da Liao, there is such a soldier and horse, called the Imperial Guard Battalion, in which most of the soldiers in the battalion are the children of the Da Liao nobles. These people also went there to increase their resumes so that they could be promoted to other military positions, but the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guard Battalion was too poor. So over time, the Guards Battalion was also called the "Drama Battalion". In the eyes of the Liao people, the Tongzhou soldiers are even worse than the Xizi battalion.
Bu She rode a tall horse, holding a phoenix mouth knife in his hand, although there were more than 5,000 soldiers in the same state in the face, but Bu She was not afraid at all. No matter how many sheep there are, they can only flee for their lives when they encounter wolves, and with more than 3,000 warriors under their hands, can't they defeat thousands of drama soldiers?
The knight came to the front of the sunset, and said in a loud voice, "General Bu, I have found traces of the Han people, and now the Han people have been camped on the bank of the Gansang River, and the tent is like a long snake along the riverside. ”
"Oh?" Bu She smiled, but judging from the camping situation, he knew that the king of Jinling did not understand military affairs, in this vast grassland, how could there be a long snake formation camp, if there was a cavalry attack, it only took one round to kill the entire military camp. On the grassland, the best way to camp is to tighten the distance, mainly in a circular or square formation, and put a small number of men and horses around the sides as horns. There is no cavalry under Bu She's hands, but he is now full of confidence, do you still need cavalry to deal with this kind of drama soldiers who are not familiar with military affairs?
"Shi Ke, give the order to go down, speed up the march, and at the end of the day, I will be drinking and having fun on the banks of the Gansang River!"
In Bu She's eyes, those Han people are vulnerable, and they can lose their armor with just one confrontation, so it is not an exaggeration to bury a pot in the Gansang River to cook at all. Listening to Bu She's words, Shi Ke also laughed, because he was exactly the same as Bu She thought, he had fought with the Great Song Border Army a lot before, and those Song people ran faster than rabbits, and this time the King of Jin Ling also led his troops to Pinglu City, which was simply self-defeating. Raising his head, Shi Ke seemed to see a great merit smashed on his head.
On the bank of the Gansang River, Zhao Yougong sorted out his clothes and armor with the help of Mu Wanqing and A Zhu, and Liu Jianrong dressed up and walked quickly, "Your Highness, the spies have come to report that the Liao people have appeared ten miles to the south." ”
Finally came, Zhao Yougong smiled and said softly, "The whole army meets the enemy!" ”
"Oh" Liu Kuang's tone was a little excited, this is the first battle of the Dingguo Army, if you say that you are not excited, how can it be?
Zhao Yougong, Liu Kuang, Yang Zaixing and others were very excited, but Yue Fei and those soldiers were experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, and they were a little nervous, but it was normal for the recruits to be nervous when they went into battle. As long as the battle is fought together, the soldiers will be much less nervous if their side can quickly gain the upper hand, and these recruits must be instilled with some confidence before the battle. Speaking carefully, Zhao Yougong and Yang Zaixing are also recruits, but they have killed countless people before, and they will never be nervous, but most of the people in the Dayangtan New Army are homeless, and they rarely kill people.
Zhao Yougong gave an order, and the generals quickly passed the order, and with a slogan, thousands of soldiers on the banks of the Gansang River quickly assembled, and in a blink of an eye, six phalanxes were formed, and each front and rear two formations were a team, and slowly walked forward.
The soldiers knew that the Liao people were coming, and this time it was also a real hard battle, more than 3,000 people under Bu She were the elite of Xijing, a few years ago, the Volcano Army and the Ninghua Army went north, and they were defeated by Bu She's department, it is said that tens of thousands of horses were killed by Bu She less than 4,000 people and retreated fifty miles, until they reached Lan Mountain. In the eyes of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao soldiers were fierce and even invincible, so when they really faced a big battle, many soldiers panicked and were afraid, and some of them began to tremble with guns.
Zhao Yougong beat his horse and walked in front of the array, Qin Wang's knife was clenched in his hand, his eyes swept over the army, and when the crowd quieted down, he laughed loudly, "Brothers." Are you scared? Hey. I want the king to say it. You are just cowardly, what is so terrible about the Liao people, Xiao Shuaigui is the princess of the Great Liao Yaoyan clan, and she is not the woman who has become the king? This king can ask for a Khitan woman, can't you ask for it? Come, sue the king, and if anyone does not want to marry a daughter-in-law, stand up now. This king sent him to the river to take a bath, and when he came to the territory of Daliao, he didn't want to ask for a Khitan daughter-in-law, and this king couldn't afford to lose this person. ”
King Zhao Xiaojun's tone is smooth, and his words are even more vulgar, Ah Zhu and Mu Nuxia are red-faced when they hear it, but most of the soldiers in the group are from poor backgrounds, they don't know how to understand it, and they are a group of singles, so Zhao Xiaojunwang's words can really be demagogic. I can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law. But you can grab it, you can't rob your own family. It's not illegal to rob the Liao people, and when Zhao Xiaojun Wang called, the soldiers gradually forgot that they were afraid, and one of them held a blade and shouted, "Your Highness, can I rob my daughter-in-law?" ”
"Bah, bastard, you have a daughter-in-law and ask this king, should you go back and ask your daughter-in-law?" As soon as King Zhao Xiaojun said this, the strong man directly lowered his head, muttering something in his mouth, and after a while, there was a burst of laughter around the strong man, it turned out that there was a tigress in the big man's house.
"Hahahaha Gao Lao Hei, I didn't expect it, your daughter-in-law is still so powerful Wowhahaha, a big man is so obedient to a girl, just stuff his head into the crotch of his pants."
The two men stared at each other, and wanted to refute it, but they couldn't say anything, so they held back for a long time before they said, "Who said that I was afraid of my daughter-in-law, and the mother-in-law was obedient and ruthless."
"Hahahaha"
King Zhao Xiaojun's brows jumped wildly, he just wanted to play the pre-war mobilization, why is this taste more and more wrong, listening to the words of a group of ruffians, it is like the underworld. pinched his throat, tilted his head, and shouted, "Don't laugh the fuck, why are you laughing at other people's old and black?" How many people have married their mothers-in-law, what about you, bachelors, don't you feel ashamed? Now they all shut up to this king, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, come with this king, this time, whoever wants to kill a Liao soldier, this king will reward him with ten dollars. ”
Ten pieces of money? Obediently, that's a year's military salary, and I can really marry a mother-in-law when I go home. As a result, the soldiers who were still frightened were in high spirits and marched south with the horses of King Zhao Xiaojun's horses.
Liu Jian swallowed his saliva and didn't say anything for a long time, His Royal Highness Zhao's pre-war mobilization method can be regarded as unique, in the past, the main general avoided wine or killed pigs and sheep to sacrifice to the sky, and there was a righteous and awe-inspiring speech, His Royal Highness Zhao was simple, and a mother-in-law made a bunch of bachelors itch and scratch. Hey, it seems that His Highness really has two hits.
At two moments, Bu She's army appeared near the Gansang River, and to Bu She's surprise, the Song soldiers who should have fled in a hurry did not leave, and actually lined up in a neat phalanx waiting by the river. Bu She was a little confused, could this be the legendary battle against the water, breaking the kettle? That stupid His Royal Highness the King of Jinling really regarded himself as the overlord of Chu? Besides, he Bu She is not a Qin soldier.
Holding a homemade clairvoyant mirror, after some observation, he soon found Bu She and Shi Ke. It's not that Zhao Yougong has good eyes, most of the Liao soldiers of the Liao people are black-armored scimitars, and only generals will wear red armor or chain mail, covered with golden heart goggles, plus Bu She and Shi Keyou are standing at the forefront on horseback, it is difficult not to see them.
Although Bu She looked down on the Song soldiers opposite, he was a qualified general after all, and with an order, more than 3,000 Liao soldiers quickly launched a formation, and the shield soldiers were in front, and a defensive formation was quickly formed.
"The whole army listens to the order, and the whole Han people are annihilated" Shi Ke is holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, black armor and white horse, red tassels fluttering in the wind, and the end is mighty and extraordinary. Fang Tian's halberd pointed obliquely ahead, and with an order, the Liao soldiers shouted in unison, "Ho ho"
The shield soldiers in the front row stood up, and with every step, the scimitar in his right hand would also hit the thick iron shield, with the bursts of the Liao soldiers' howls, adding an invisible power to the battlefield. Whenever they advanced, the Liao soldiers were like this, because this could add a lot of psychological pressure to the enemy, and at the same time it could add a little morale to their own side.
The sound of "ho ho" was getting closer, one hundred zhang eighty zhang and fifty zhang, Shi Ke's face suddenly changed, and he hissed and roared, "Kill!" ”
This shout, the sound shook the sky, chasing the sunset, and the Liao soldiers also rose sharply, and the speed increased a lot, but the formation was not chaotic and still maintained the situation that the shield was in front and the swords and guns were behind.
The Liao people were aggressive, Zhao Yougong frowned and sneered, and he roared loudly, "Who will take the life of the Liao general with this king?" ”
As soon as the words fell, two wolf-tooth arrows roared out, directly taking Shi Ke. During the charge, Shi Ke saw the arrows flying, his heart trembled, he had led the troops for many years, he could judge the strength of the two wolf tooth arrows, hell, when did the Song generals have such a brave person? Dancing Fang Tian's painting halberd knocked left and right, and the two arrows shook off the direction one after another, but the arrow was extremely powerful, and it did not fall, but continued to fly backwards, and with two pops, the two Liao soldiers fell to the ground in an instant. Looking back, the arrow went into the flesh a few inches, whew, so powerful. (To be continued......)
