Chapter Fifty-Nine: Under the Fierce Battle

readx;

Attacking against attacking is not absent in war, but it is rare. www.biquge.info Generally speaking, one side attacks, and the other side has to defend, so as to consume the enemy's living force and achieve the greatest possible results. It's rare to see attacks against offenses like now.

If nothing else, it is really that the two armies are not convinced by each other, and they cannot lose to others. For the Liao army, the Song army was bold, not only went deep into the Liao border to plunder, but also lined up here to wait for them, which was unbearable. In the hundreds of years of Song-Liao wars, the Liao army has always had the upper hand, and the Song army either fled when they saw the Liao army, or they shrank in the city and did not dare to come out, relying on the strong city to hold on.

As it is today, it is not common to line up in the field and fight a field battle with the Liao army, and even if there is, it can be ignored. Liao Jun had only one thought in his heart, he must teach Song Jun a good lesson and let Song Jun know that he was powerful.

For the Song army, this is the most painful one in the Song-Liao War in the last hundred years, going deep into the Liao border to plunder, so that they have gained a lot, high morale, confidence is greatly boosted, they finally have the ability to fight with the Liao army in the field, how can they not be happy.

Wu Ji gave an order, and the Song army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the spirit was mixed, and the army array moved, just like Mount Tai was moving, with an indestructible momentum.

"Bow breaking, shoot!"

Wu Ji estimated that the distance was almost over, and with an order, the bow was broken, and countless crossbow arrows appeared in the air, breaking the barrier of the air and rushing towards the Liao army.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! The screams were endless, and many Liao soldiers were shot and fell.

"It's strange, how can the southerners have crossbows so far away?" Jerod is strange.

What made him even more aggrieved was that the Song army killed the Liao army and used a broken bow to shoot at a distance, but the Liao army was helpless against the Song army. It's not that the Liao army doesn't have strong crossbows, it's just that the strong crossbows they have are the same as the strong crossbows of the Song army, which are too cumbersome, and it is very inconvenient to shoot and kill on the move, and they are basically useless.

The strong crossbows of the Liao army were not suitable for this kind of battle, and the range of the Liao army's bows and arrows was far from enough, and the result could only be one-sided shooting. This has not yet appeared in the Song-Liao War in the past hundred years, and Yeluzhao has to be more aggrieved and aggrieved.

"I don't believe it, how many can you shoot? The southerners' bows and crossbows were only three or four rounds at the enemy, and not many people died. Jeruzhao is still judging by past experience, and he is very wrong.

What surprised him was that the crossbow arrows of the Song army were continuous, and there was no gap, one after another, and there were not a few people who fell off the horse in the Liao army, and the price paid was much greater than before.

"This ...... How long has it been since the Southerners changed their tactics? Yeluzhao was puzzled, but he ordered the Liao army to charge quickly. In this case, the sooner he rushed to the front of the Song army, the smaller the casualties, and his handling was correct.

I have to say that the Liao army in Zhuozhou is worthy of being elite, and the momentum of the charge is like a rainbow, although the crossbow arrows of the Song army are very dense, and the price of the Liao army is not small, but no one hesitates, let alone retreat, and moves forward.

"Liaogou has been able to dominate for a hundred years, not fortunately, it does have its reasons." Wu Ji saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"Rush! Rush! Jeruzhao yelled.

The Liao army roared "Kill the southerners" and rushed towards the Song army. As soon as the range of the bow and arrow arrived, the Liao army began to release arrows and fight back. The Song army also used a bow to shoot with a bow, and the arrows were more dense.

The two armies shot at each other, and countless arrows flew through the air, densely packed, even flies did not want to live.

"Huh! When will the southerners use bows and arrows? "Yeluzhao is a shrewd person, and he quickly discovered that the Song army was different from before. If in the past, except for archers, the Song army would not use bows and arrows, which really surprised him.

"So what? Can it be the opponent of the warriors of the Great Liao Army? This was followed by contempt.

Archery is the Liao army's forte, it is impossible to lose to the Song army, Yeluzhao really has his own proud capital.

"Thunderball, throw!" Wu Ji gave an order, and countless thunderbolts were thrown at the Liao army.

"Thunderball?" Yeluzhao raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the earth-shattering explosion sounded, the Liao army screamed endlessly, countless dead and wounded, stumps flew around, blood splashed, and the ground was dyed red, whether it was a person or a horse, once it was blown up, it would be injured if it was not killed.

In just one round of bombing, the Liao army suffered a lot of casualties, and it was particularly miserable, which was a disability that Yeluzhao had never seen.

It was the first time that the Liao army in Zhuozhou encountered a thunderbolt bombardment, and they were stunned as if they were thundering in their ears, and they didn't know what had happened. The war horse couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help screaming. For a while, people shouted and neighed, and chaos arose.

Yelu Zhao saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but be very frightened, for an army, the dignified array is the most powerful, once it is chaotic, it means danger.

However, Wu Ji didn't give him a chance at all, and kept ordering the Song army to throw thunderbolts. Thunderbolts were the favorite of the Song army, and when they saw that the thunderbolts made the Liao army chaotic, they were all excited, and they threw thunderbolts with all their strength. I saw thunderbolts flying in the air, enveloping the Liao army in pieces.

The explosions continued, the fires appeared one after another, the Liao army was killed and wounded more and more, and the Liao army's formation became more and more chaotic.

"Steady! Steady! Although Yeluzhao was frightened, he did not have the slightest fear, and shouted in the formation to boost morale and ask the Liao army to attack.

Under his encouragement, the chaos of the Liao army was stopped, and the Song army was still rushing towards it without fear of death. Smoking gunpowder, the Liao army finally rushed to the front of the Song army, but they were greeted by a bright Mo knife.

One by one, the Mo knife was raised high and slashed down, like a huge mirror, shining in the light, so terrifying.

Every time Modao thundered, there were large swaths of blood splashed, and there was a large amount of minced meat, and the Liao army could not shake the Song army's position at all.

"Oh my God! Mo knife! Yeluzhao couldn't help but be shocked when he looked at the Mo knife that was raised high and slashed fiercely.

Modao is a nightmare of the Khitan people, think that back then, when Wu Zetian sent a brigade to sweep the Khitans, the power of the Modao made the Khitans fearful, although hundreds of years have passed, it is still a nightmare for the Khitans. Yeluzhao never expected that he would be so frightened when he saw Modao here.

He is an expert, and it can be seen at a glance that Song Jun is very proficient in the use of Mo Dao, and he is not inferior to Tang Jun. In front of Mo Dao, it doesn't matter if you are a human or a horse, as long as you are flesh and blood, rushing forward is to send you to death, which is not something that flesh and blood can resist at all.

"If I knew this, I wouldn't have charged, but distanced myself and fought with the southerners." Jerozhao regretted it.

Mo's knife is sharp and irresistible, but it has a fatal flaw, that is, it is too heavy, too laborious, and cannot last. Once the war is in a stalemate phase and a war of attrition is carried out, it will be difficult for Modao to continue.

And grappling is the strength of the Liao army, the Liao army has many war horses, coming and going like the wind, and it is completely possible to use up the strength of the Mo knife hand with the rapid mobility ability of the Liao army.

Yeluzhao is worthy of being a good general, his idea is very correct, but it is too late to have a chance to implement it. The cavalry of the Song army, under the command of Wu Ji, had already plunged into the back of the Liao army like a whirlwind, preparing to cut off the retreat of the Liao army.

Wu Ji did not have any contempt for the Liao army, not to mention, Yeluzhao was still a good general, if he did not cut off the retreat of the Liao army at this time, then, once Yeluzhao came to his senses and implemented new tactics, although he was not necessarily defeated, it would prolong the war, which was not what Wu Ji wanted. Therefore, as soon as Wu Ji saw that the fighter was mature, he immediately ordered the cavalry to attack and plunged directly into the back of the Liao army.

"Than cavalry? Hey! Ye Luzhao looked at the charging Song Dynasty cavalry, not only was he not angry, but he smiled, and smiled very easily. The cavalry is the biggest shortcoming of the Song army, and it is the best of the Liao army, and Yeluzhao has absolute confidence to kill the cavalry of the Song army.

Under his orders, the Liao cavalry bent their bows and arrows and rushed towards the Song cavalry, trying to crush the Song cavalry. However, what Yeluzhao didn't expect was that the bows and arrows of the Liao army were far from reaching the Song army, and the crossbows of the Song army were powerful, and many Liao cavalry were shot and fell off their horses.

"Damn it!" Yeluzhao was very angry, but he was helpless.

The Liao army did not have crossbows, but there were not many, unlike the Song army, each of whom had one hand.

The Liao army does not have many hand crossbows, and the counterattack is sparse, but the Song army has a lot of hand crossbows, and the crossbows are so dense that flies don't want to live.

When the cavalry of the Song army rushed to the range of the Liao army's bow and arrow, Yeluzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the Liao army's bow and arrow could be powerful. However, he soon found that his idea was too unrealistic, the cavalry of the Song army was wearing fine armor, and they were not afraid of bows and arrows at all, except for hard bows, basically they couldn't do anything.

"Jingjia!" Yeluzhao's face changed.

Fine armor, the Liao army is not nothing, except for the leather room army, everyone has fine armor, there are not many general Liao troops. Even the elite of the Zhuozhou Army is not much. The bows and arrows of the Song army were shot at the cavalry of the Liao army, and the Liao army did not die. And the bows and arrows of the Liao army were shot at the cavalry of the Song army, but it was just a spark, how could this battle be fought?

The bow and arrow are gone, and Caibi is slashed. For slashing, Yeluzhao is very confident. The Liao army's knife skills are sharp and ruthless, and they have cut down the Song army for hundreds of years, and the Song army that was killed by the Liao army does not know how many, will this be lost to the Song army?

If you still lose, it's a big joke!

The development of the war was still beyond Yeluzhao's imagination, and the cavalry of the Song army did not use captive knives, but charged with spears.

"Can this work?" Regarding the use of spears, Yeluzhao was very unoptimistic.

The cavalry of the two armies performed a spear-to-scimitar duel, and the result was predictable. One inch long and one inch strong, the scimitar was far from reaching the cavalry of the Song army, but the spear stabbed the cavalry of the Liao army to pieces, with many casualties and chaos.

The Liao army faced such a style of play for the first time, and couldn't help but be surprised and stunned. Before the Liao cavalry could react, the Song cavalry slashed and slashed with their swords.

At this time, Yeluzhao realized that he had made a big mistake, and the cavalry of the Song army were not inferior to the Liao army in horsemanship, archery, and slashing. Moreover, the cavalry of the Song army was all fine armor, and the scimitars of the Liao army were slashed on the body, and it was difficult to kill and injure the Song army, unless there were heavy weapons such as maces.

And the Song army slashed on the Liao army, and if it was not killed, it was wounded, and the Liao army could not stop the Song army at all. Soon, the cavalry of the Liao army retreated, and the cavalry of the Song army followed and killed, cutting off the retreat of the Liao army.
