Chapter 65: Rushing to the Rescue
A large group of people swarmed out, with cavalry at the front, then infantry, and finally civilians with weapons in hand.
As soon as he got out of the city gate, Song Jingang roared, danced wildly with a magic wand in his hand, and urged the war horse to lead his soldiers and rush towards the Liao army.
Guan Yiqi was more calm, he knew that Chen Yaozuo personally went into battle, and his first task was to protect the commander, if Chen Yaozuo was injured by the Liao army, then the entire Song army would be in chaos, and it would definitely be defeated.
Although Guan Yiqi was guarding Chen Yaozuo's surroundings, his hands were not idle, he was holding a longbow, constantly aiming, bending the bow, shooting arrows, and hunting the small leaders of the Liao army.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not afraid of death, and they defeated the Liao people for a while!
"Old officer, go and kill the enemy, I have personal soldiers to protect me." Chen Yaozuo's face finally changed a little. Chen Yaozuo's eyes were sharp, he could see that the Liao army's heart had moved, and this was the best time to take advantage of the situation to cover up, and he was most needed by a fierce general like Guan Yiqi to fight on the front line.
"Which general is leading the army in the middle of the country? How can it ......" Chen Yaozuo was a little puzzled, although the reinforcements arrived and the Liao army was in chaos, but this ...... I saw chaos in the rear of the Liao army, but I couldn't see the banner of reinforcements? I don't know how many reinforcements there are.
"General, look at ......," the guards on the castle tower suddenly shouted again, and then pointed ahead with trembling hands, and stammered so much that they could not speak.
Chen Yaozuo looked at the soldier's frightened appearance and knew that something big had happened, but the kid was so trembling that he said that he was really anxious. He hurriedly took three steps and made two steps to climb up to the city tower with his hands and feet, and at this look, Chen Yaozuo's brows were twisted into an iron lump.
Standing high and seeing far away, Chen Yaozuo climbed the city tower to see the so-called reinforcements in the distance...... Unexpectedly...... There are only three or five hundred people at most, and they are being surrounded and killed by the Liao Legion!
What's going on? Isn't it the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court? Could it be...... It's Li Ce! It was Li Ce who led the army to come! This kid only has the strength of a mere commander, and he dares to attack the 50,000 troops of the Liao army!
"Beat the drums!" Chen Yaozuo shouted, "Tell Song Jingang and answer Li Ce!" Chen Yaozuo ordered, and soon a pro-soldier quickly went downstairs and galloped away on horseback.
Chen Yaozuo stood on the city tower and kept pacing back and forth, he only hated why he didn't know martial arts, he could only be anxious at this time, his precious apprentice was really a guts! He is still so young, as long as he can escape today's catastrophe, he will surely become famous all over the world one day!
"Come on, immediately gather the people who can use it, quickly repair the city gates, strengthen the city walls, clean up the rolling stones and fallen trees, and collect bows and arrows!" Chen Yaozuo is worthy of a generation of famous generals, he quickly realized that no matter whether Li Ce and others can break through the encirclement of the Liao army, as long as the rear of the Liao army settles down, the Liao army will inevitably make a comeback, then it will evolve into a siege and defense battle, and the top priority is to seize the time to build fortifications and drag it until the arrival of imperial reinforcements.
On the other side, it was indeed Li Ce and others who attacked the rear of the Liao people, and there were Liao soldiers who escaped from Ulzhou to report that the Song army was pressing the border, and the vanguard captured Ulzhou, so Yelu Wuqi naturally thought that Li Ce and others were the vanguard of the Song army.
The commander of the Liao army, Yelu Wuqi, was furious at this time. Because when Li Ce and his party rushed over, the Liao army didn't find it at all, let alone defend itself, and was killed by these hundreds of people, causing the entire Liao army to be in chaos.
Why is this happening? It turned out that the team led by Li Ce was all wearing the armor of the Liao army, and the Liao army was not fortified at all, so it was fished in troubled waters, killing a person on his back and turning over, and when he reacted, the entire formation was already in chaos, and the casualties caused by the trampling of the Liao army alone were countless.
Yelu Wuqi tried his best to restrain his emotions, as the commander of the first army, he couldn't mess up at this time!
I didn't expect the Song army to be so fast, the vanguard has arrived, it seems that the Song army is behind, the Song people are cowardly, they have never sent troops, and once they send troops, they must have hundreds of thousands of troops, and they only have 50,000 troops today, but they can't be dragged back, once the Song army arrives, their 50,000 troops are surrounded, and the whole army will be annihilated.
Yelu Wuqi was already planning to withdraw his troops, he glanced at the tower of Zhending Mansion, and his heart was full of unwillingness, twice! Twice already! It's just a little bit less every time! That's it! Falling short! Damn it!
For this battle, he invested more than 100,000 silver taels before and after, bought the information, asked Manichaeism to assist, and took the lives of so many Daliao warriors today!
Yelu Wu was brute forced, he caught a glimpse of the Song army's vanguard only these few hundred people, and now they were surrounded by regiments, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Kill them all for me!" ”
He made up his mind that even if he withdrew the troops, he would have to breathe a bad breath in his heart first!
Li Ce's team of men and horses was like a sharp knife inserted into the body of the Liao army, all the way like a bamboo, and it was unstoppable, but after all, the number was too small, and they were surrounded after the Liao army reacted.
Di'an, Liu Tingzhu, Qian Zhixing several generals took the lead, rushing left and right, especially Na Dian, a long lance in his hand is like a dragon going to sea, the Liao army can't get close at all, every time he wields it, a piece of the Liao army falls, it is really like a living Yama reincarnated.
Li Ce also saw Di'an's bravery, he was pleasantly surprised, he couldn't imagine that this beautiful young man's martial arts were so good, it was simply Lu Bu alive, after today, no matter what, he had already secretly made up his mind.
He can't afford to think about it too much, Li Ce looked around at the Liao army around him, he has few people, he can't be surrounded by the Liao army anyway, he is under the banner of the vanguard, he is completely bluffing, it has dragged on for a long time, the Liao people have not seen the rear reinforcements, and then these people will be the fish on the board of others.
"Don't fall in love, Dean opens a gap and joins the Song army in front!" Li Ce shouted.
When Di An heard this, he also understood that he could not fight for a long time, and as soon as he urged his horses, he led his subordinates to rush towards the slightly weakly guarded place of the Liao army, and the other Song troops followed when they saw that someone was opening the way.
To say that this Dean is really brave, even Guan Zhen, who has always been dissatisfied with anyone, admires him, he saw Dean galloping, and said to Li Ce with a smile: "Senior brother, be careful yourself, I will open the way with Brother Di!" After saying that, he dragged his spear and slapped his horse away.
With the help of Guan Zhen, the barbarian, the movement speed of the Song army was significantly faster. Yelu Wuqi has been commanding and dispatching to block the breakthrough of the Song army, but the two of them are too brave, and there is no one in the Liao army to stop their edge.
At this time, Li Ce could already see the Song army led by Song Jingang and Guan Yiqi, and the Song army on the opposite side also saw them.
"Ha, old official, it's Li Xiucai, your two apprentices!" Song Jingang shouted at the top of his voice.
Guan Yiqi smiled slightly, although he didn't say anything, the spear in his hand suddenly accelerated the offensive, in fact, he was very proud in his heart.
At this time, the Liao soldiers all thought that the Song army was about to arrive, and they had no intention of fighting again, and the Liao army besieging the rear was nearly 10,000 people, and the 10,000 horses were forcibly broken out by Li Ce and his party.
As soon as Li Ce and the others joined the Song army who responded, they once again gained momentum.
Chen Yaozuo shouted on the city tower: "The imperial army has arrived, kill!" ”
All the Song troops raised their weapons and rushed in unison, and the roar of the Song army sounded all over the mountains outside the city: Kill! Kill! Kill!
Yelu Wuqi is already extremely annoyed, rice buckets, waste! So many people can't even keep a few hundred people! What a shame!
Woo~~Woo~~
The Liao army finally sounded the horn of retreat, and the soldiers of the Liao army had been waiting for this horn for a long time, and when they heard that they could retreat, they didn't want to carry their baggage.
The Song army camp, the Chinese army's big tent.
"Haha, in today's battle, Li Ce, you are the first to act! Well, 300 to 50,000, after this battle, you will be famous all over the world! Chen Yaozuo twisted his beard and praised.
Li Ce was his closed disciple, and he wouldn't have praised him in public like this, because that would be somewhat self-exaggerating. But today, Li Ce led the 300 brave men to capture Ulzhou, and also relieved the siege of Zhendingfu, and it was the kind of encirclement that was so hard that it chiseled through the Liao army, which was really happy. So Chen Yaozuo couldn't help but praise in public.
"Captain Li is really young and promising, congratulations." The generals praised.
Because Li Ce is just a small commander, most of these people are veterans in the army, but Li Ce is the captain of the seven-rank Zhiguo awarded by the imperial court, and today he has made such miraculous achievements, and he will be rewarded by the imperial court in the future, I am afraid that this young man will rise to the top, and his official position will even surpass these old guys, so everyone calls him Captain Li to show respect.
"Where, where, the kid is reckless, thanks to the timely response of all the seniors today, I can retreat with my whole body, the kid is here on behalf of my three hundred soldiers, thank you." Li Ce said modestly.
"Haha, don't be polite, if you're polite, leave it at the celebration banquet in the evening, and now do your duty to clean up the aftermath." Chen Yaozuo was in a good mood, and waved his big hand to signal everyone to disperse for the time being.
