When the retreat was cut off, the fate of the Liao army was doomed, and it was bound to be defeated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Damn it!" Yelu Zhao looked at the retreat cut off for the Song cavalry, his fists were clenched, he couldn't help shaking, his teeth were gritted loudly, and he scolded vigorously: "Abominable southerners! How long has it been? In the past, when they saw the Da Liao warriors, they were like mice seeing cats, and they could only flee for their lives, but now, they are so difficult to deal with! ā€

Self-confidence comes from strength, the combat power of the Song army has been greatly improved, has surpassed the Liao army, their self-confidence is enough, rushing to kill, naturally brave and invincible, such as entering the realm of no one, the combat power to the fullest.

"Damn the southerners, there are cavalry, they are still such capable cavalry, the warriors of Daliao are not opponents!" Jeruzhao then cursed.

Cavalry has always been the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty, and in the hundreds of years of Song-Liao Wars, the Song Dynasty did not use cavalry to fight. The strongest class of troops in the era of cold weapons was reduced to the level of auxiliary troops, which made the Liao army take advantage of it. In the hundreds of years of war, wherever the Liao iron cavalry went, the Song army did not dare to take its edge, so it had to retreat and escape.

"If it weren't for the southerners having cavalry to cut off my retreat, would I have to fight hard? You can completely retreat, and then kill back when you are ready. "Yeluzhao really misses the old days.

In the past, the Song Dynasty had no cavalry, could not seize the fighter to launch a counterattack, can only be passively beaten, once the Liao army is not smooth, relying on the rapid mobility of the cavalry, quickly withdraw from the battlefield. After resting, I will come back from the calm killing general.

It was precisely because of the lack of cavalry that it could not counterattack in time, which made the Song Dynasty suffer enough, even if the Song army fought bravely, it was difficult to win. In the Song Dynasty, there were several so-called victories in which the cavalry was successful, but it was just because the enemy could not defeat the Song army and retreated calmly, and the Song army did not gain anything at all.

And now it is different, the Song army has elite cavalry, which can launch a counterattack in time and create the best fighters. The most obvious example is in front of him, if the Song army has no cavalry, no matter how heroic the Mo knife hand is, no matter how powerful the thunderbolt is, it is impossible to cut off the retreat of the Liao army, Yelu Zhao can order the Liao army to retreat, rest and recuperate, and then kill back.

In that case, it is difficult to say whether this battle will be won or lost, and it is likely that the Liao army will win. Even if the Song army wins, the results will not be great.

As soon as the Liao army's retreat was broken, its fate was doomed, and Wu Ji had only one thing to do, to command the Song army in the final fight.

"Kill!" The captive knife in Wu Ji's hand swung at the Liao army, and the sword light was like electricity, which made people dizzy.

"Kill all the dogs!" The Song army erupted into an earth-shattering roar and began to carry out the final charge.

"Kill all the southerners!" Although the retreat of the Liao army was cut off and the cavalry was defeated, the Liao army in Zhuozhou was the elite after all, although it was defeated, it was not alarmed, under the command of Yeluzhao, roaring the battle horn, waving a scimitar to meet the generals, and a tragic hand-to-hand combat began.

I have to say that the Liao army is very fierce, not afraid of death, sharp knife skills, and ruthless slashing, which has created a lot of trouble for the Song army.

However, these troubles can only be minor troubles, and they are nothing. In front of Modao, no matter if you are a human or a horse, as long as you are flesh and blood, rushing up is to die.

The Mo knife was raised high again and again, and it was slashed hard, and every time it was chopped, there would be patches of blood, and piles of minced meat, whether it was a person or a horse, all became minced meat.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ā€

The sound of explosions was incessant, and wherever the Liao army was dense, there would be pieces of thunderbolts, and the Liao army was blown up so that people were on their backs, stumps and broken arms flew around, and countless casualties were killed.

"Rumble!" The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the cavalry of the Song army waved their swords and pursued them. Soon, the cavalry of the Liao army was slaughtered in pieces, and it was impossible to stop the charge of the Song cavalry.

At the beginning, the Liao army was able to organize an effective resistance, but later, it was no longer possible to maintain it, and in the end, it completely collapsed and fled for its life.

However, wherever they fled, the cavalry of the Song army pursued them, killing them so that they had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

"Damn the Southerners! How can they have cavalry? ā€

"In the old days, if we couldn't beat it, we could have fled on horseback. Where the two legs of the southerners can outrun our four legs, we can escape as much as we want. It's really unlucky, and everywhere you flee, the hateful southerners will chase you.! ā€

The Liao army, which was chased and had nowhere to run, was very nostalgic for the past. In the past, the Song army had no cavalry, and the Liao army couldn't beat it, so they fled quickly, and fled calmly on a war horse, where could the Song army catch up with its two legs. Now, the Song army has cavalry, and they can no longer escape calmly as before, and there is no way to escape from the pursuit, and there are countless casualties.

"Dashuai, run away!" Pro-soldier one Raye Luzhao.

"I'm not going to run, I'm going to fight to the death!" Yeluzhao let out a roar, blood welled up in his eyes, and several teeth were crushed.

"Dashuai, it's too late if you don't leave!" The soldiers didn't care about 3721, drove Yeluzhao to the horse, led his war horse and fled.

"Let go of me! Let me go! If you don't let go, I'm going to kill you. Ye Luzhao thought that this was a great shame, he had fought the Song Dynasty all his life, and there was no such defeat as today.

"Dashuai, if you want to kill us, you have to return to Zhuozhou." Where the soldiers don't care about him, just run away.

"Yeluzhao is there, chase!" Zhou Wei was the first to discover Yeluzhao and led the Song army to chase after him from behind.

As soon as he saw the Song army chasing after him, Yeluzhao's confidence in fighting to the end was gone, and he shouted: "Hurry up!" Come on! ā€

Yeluzhao is Yeluzhao, and before he escaped far, he thought of a big thing and yelled: "You, you, go and give orders." Let the scattered Daliao warriors immediately rush back to Zhuozhou to prevent the southerners from attacking Zhuozhou. ā€

Zhuozhou is an important strategic base, and if it is captured by the Song army, the impact is difficult to estimate. If Zhuozhou is captured by the Song army, its impact will be mainly in several aspects: First, it will greatly encourage the people of Yanyun Land, make them more confident and more excited to resist. Although the land of Yanyun has been lost for more than a hundred years, the people here are still resisting, and Qiyun Society is the most typical representative.

The second is that this will fuel the momentum of the Song Dynasty and put the Liao State below.

Third, Zhuozhou stored a large amount of ordnance, grain and grass, and if it fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty, it would cause heavy losses to the Liao State.

Yelu Zhao can think of defending Zhuozhou when he is defeated, and he is worthy of being a good general. The soldiers got the order and went to give the order.

"Whew!"

Wu Ji let out a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the battlefield, which had turned red, and there were corpses of the Liao army everywhere.

The bloody battle was finally over, and Wu Ji was also relaxed. Although this battle was won, it has to be said that the Liao army fought quite tenaciously, and when the scimitar was broken, they smashed it with their fists, and without fists, they bit with their teeth, as if they were crazy. Fighting the Liao army in Zhuozhou is no different from fighting a madman.

In this way, the Song army experienced a fierce battle in the real sense, and the Liao army in Zhuozhou became the whetstone of the Song army. The Song army won the battle and successfully took a step, and now, it can be said that the Song army that participated in this battle has become an elite.

Only by experiencing the baptism of blood and fire can you be the real elite, and Song Jun successfully experienced such a test!

"My knife is missing!"

"Me too. Lots of gaps. ā€

"Ahh It's really missing. ā€

"Liao dog's bones are so hard!"

"Liao Dog Liao Dog, with a body of dog bones, can it not be hard?"

The Song army suddenly found that there was a gap in the captive knife, and there were many discussions, despising the Liao army. Their discussions were filled with pride and joy.

Wu Ji looked at the slashing knife in his hand, and there were really a lot of gaps. The blade of the captives is incomparable, and there is a gap, which shows how tragic this battle is. The Song army was able to win, which is really valuable.

"Wu Du refers to the capital, we won! We won! "Han Fang came on horseback, covered in blood, like a bloody man, if he hadn't spoken, Wu Ji would have really regarded him as a bloody man.

Look at yourself again, similar to him, wipe it with your hand, remove some of the blood on your face, and then show your face.

"yes, we won!" Wu Ji is also pleased, these Song Jun can be said to be the crystallization of his hard work, and he has successfully undergone the test, is there anything more joyful than this?

"Brother Wu, this is a great victory for us." Lin Hong galloped over and shouted from afar: "Brother Wu, we are 20,000 against 40,000 Liao dog elites, and the Liao dogs who escaped are only three or four thousand, such a big victory, although it is somewhat inferior to the Xiongzhou victory, the Xiongzhou victory is far from being comparable to the current one." ā€

"Yes!" Lin Hong just started, and the Han side took over the conversation, and said happily: "Although the victory in Xiongzhou was a great victory, it was a battle to defend the city, and it was a victory by taking advantage of the strong advantages of the Great Song Dynasty city and fighting with Liaogou. Although such a victory is good, I would rather not, Xiongzhou has paid a huge price. And the current victory, we are fighting in Liao, we are attacking, and Liaogou is defending. ā€

Xiongzhou's victory is the highlight of the defense, but the current victory is the victory in the offense, one attack and one defense, the meaning of the two is far from the same, and there is no comparison at all.

"What's more, we are fighting a field battle, and we are fighting against Liaogou in the field, without using stratagem, it is completely a duel of strength, we won, far better than Liaogou!" Wu Ji couldn't help nodding and commented: "This is the most important thing, this is indeed a great victory!" ā€

When robbing the New Year's coins, the Converts Army also fought a field battle, and they also killed a thousand leather room troops. However, there were only 2,500 converts, and at present, the Song army had increased to 20,000, and the battle was against 40,000 Liao troops.

Although it is also a field battle, the difference is that it is a large corps operation. This shows that the Song army already has the ability to fight field battles with the Liao army. In front of such an elite as the Liao army in Zhuozhou, the Song army completely defeated the opponent and did not use any stratagem, which is the greatest significance.

This battle proved that Wu Ji's military thinking was correct and verified, and also laid the foundation for the military reform of the Song Dynasty and found a clear direction for the Song Dynasty to carry out military reform.

It can be expected that the time for the Chinese army to return to the peak of history is not far off!

"Long live the Great Song!"

At this moment, earth-shattering cheers rang out, and Song Jun waved his arms and shouted loudly, and the roar went straight up to the sky, shaking the ground and trembling.

This is the roar of Huaxia, for more than a hundred years, Wang Shi has reappeared as the symbol of the land of Yanyun!
