Chapter 25: The Glory of the Ancestors

"How many arrows did they fire? With so many shots, in the past, we could charge many times. Even if there were multiple charges, there would not have been such a large number of casualties. Xi Ruo became more and more frightened.

According to his experience of fighting with the Song Dynasty, the casualties he paid now would have been enough for them to charge many times if they had done so before. And right now, he didn't complete the charge once, and he paid such a high price, so he couldn't be frightened.

At that time, Mu Wei also thought like him, but it was true that the Conversion Army's style of fighting was too fierce, and he did not waste any opportunities, seized every opportunity, and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy.

"Whew! It's finally time to release the arrows. Xi Ruo took a long breath, and the Guixin army finally entered the range of the Liao army. Shicai, the range of the broken bow is too long, the Guixin army can shoot the Liao army, but the Liao army can't shoot the Guixin army, only watching, he is extremely depressed.

Now that he can finally shoot the Converts Army, according to his thoughts, with the Liao Army's superb archery skills, the Converts will definitely be able to suffer heavy casualties, and roar loudly: "Release the arrows!" Shoot the arrows! ”

He roared loudly, but it was useless. The Liao army shot the crossbow arrows of the Guixin army very aggrievedly, and they had long wanted to shoot the Song army, but the range was out of reach, so they could only endure it. Now, when the opportunity comes, who will miss it? The Liao army all bent their bows and arrows and shot at the Song army, and for a while, the arrows rained down and covered the Guixin army.

"Haha! Nanren, die! ”

Xi Ruo saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, he had twelve points of confidence in the archery skills of the Liao army, as long as the Liao army was given a chance, he would definitely shoot the Song soldiers on their backs.

Unfortunately, after a round of arrows, there were not many casualties among the converts, and the huge casualties and chaos he imagined did not appear. There is no other reason, that is, Wu Ji equipped the Converting Army with fine armor and was not afraid of bows and arrows. The arrows of the Liao army were just a spark, and only a very small number of unlucky converts were shot in the eye.

"This!" Xi Ruo was taken aback, and a pair of eyes widened: "The southerners have been wearing fine armor for a long time, and only one pair of eyes are exposed outside, who can shoot it?" Isn't this a piece of equipment that only the Leather Chamber Army has? ”

With the steelmaking technology mastered by Wu Ji, it is effortless to build fine armor for the Guixin army, unlike the Liao State, where only the leather room army can wear fine armor.

What made him even more depressed was still behind, only to see that the arrows of the Returning Army continued, weaving into a huge net, covering the Liao army, and the Liao army suffered heavy casualties. The Liao army's shooting of the Guixin army did not have much effect, but the shooting of the Guixin army by the Liao army was extremely good, with heavy casualties, this was a completely one-sided massacre, how could this battle be fought?

"I knew that the Nanren were so capable of fighting, and I wouldn't have been tough when I said anything. Well, I don't believe it, slashing can't beat the southerners? "Archery has always been a weapon that the Liao army is proud of, and in the past wars, the Song army suffered enough. Today, the archery skills are not good, but there is also the sharp slashing of the Liao army, which will definitely make the Song army suffer heavy casualties.

The things that made Xi Ruo even happier were still to come, and he saw the cavalry of the Guixin Army rushing out from the left and right flanks and penetrating directly into the back of the Liao army.

"Hey, hey! Song Jiang is nothing more than that! Before the two armies had come into contact and engaged in hand-to-hand combat, he sent cavalry straight into our backs, thinking that the Daliao warriors would only eat? "Xi is bitter in his eyes, happy in his heart, full of calculations, and wants to teach the converted army a cruel lesson.

Except for the pure nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu and the Turks, they generally did not throw cavalry into battle as soon as they came on the battlefield. The nomadic peoples of the Xiongnu and Turks are all cavalry, except for cavalry or cavalry, it is impossible not to put in cavalry to charge and kill.

If there are many types of troops, they will not engage in cavalry combat as soon as they come, but will first engage the enemy, shoot them at a long distance, and then use infantry to charge and kill, and as for the use of cavalry, they must be invested at the right time. In due course, it is necessary to weaken the enemy to a certain extent, so that the cavalry will be put into the charge.

In addition to charging and killing, cavalry also has a purpose, which is to cut off the enemy's retreat, which is until the enemy is about to lose. Before the enemy is defeated, one step behind the enemy's back and cut off the enemy's retreat will greatly increase the number of kills and the results of the battle will be more abundant, as every good general will do.

Wu Ji sent cavalry this time to penetrate the back of the Liao army, in order to cut off the retreat of the Liao army and make it impossible for it to escape.

The problem is that the two armies have not yet met each other in short arms, and although the Liao army suffered many casualties under the shooting of bows and crossbows, it has not yet reached the point of rout, and it is even far from being weakened to this extent.

In this case, Wu Ji sent cavalry to cut off the retreat of the Liao army, which was really a stupid move in Xi Ruo's eyes. The Liao army has not yet been defeated, and the cavalry of the Guixin army may not be able to hold the Liao army, not to mention, but also exposed the two wings of the Guixin army, giving the Liao army a good opportunity.

"Quick, attack the wings!" Although Xi Ruo is not a good general, he will not miss this kind of opportunity, which does not require much intelligence, as long as he has been on the battlefield a few times, he will do so.

The Liao army was divided into three, and the Liao army on the left and right flanks pounced on the two wings of the Converting Army, as long as the two wings of the Converting Army were defeated, the Converting Army would not be defeated.

Xi Ruo's calculation was correct, however, the progress of the war was far from what he could imagine. They were greeted by an earth-shattering explosion, a thunderbolt.

Of course, Wu Ji knew that the Liao army at this time was far from reaching the state of rout, and he dared to send cavalry to cut off the retreat of the Liao army, because he knew that in the next blow, the converted army would definitely make the Liao army rout, otherwise, sending cavalry at this time and exposing the two wings would be self-defeating.

As Zheng Tai said, the Guixin Army is strong in combat and can completely suppress the Liao Army, and even the most elite leather room army in the Liao State is not the opponent of the Guixin Army, let alone these ordinary Liao Army, which is far from being an opponent.

As soon as the thunderbolt came out, it shook the earth, the sand flew away, the dust flew, the Liao army suffered heavy casualties, and the people shouted and neighed endlessly, and it became a mess. Under the blow of this kind of hot weapon, the war horse will be frightened and difficult to control, although the Liao army's riding skills are good, and the matter is in a hurry, it is also impossible to appease the war horse, or it will not be chaotic.

For a while, I saw the neighing of war horses and running around, and the neat battle team was soon chaotic, and all of them were chaotic.

On the battlefield, the dignified array will be powerful, and if this is chaotic, it will be a big trouble. Xi Ruo saw it in his eyes and didn't believe it at all, it would be this kind of result.

Although these horses were well trained, they were the first to be attacked by hot weapons, and they couldn't do it without chaos. If you can train more and be hit by hot weapons, you won't be so chaotic.

Where did Xi Ruo think about this, he couldn't do anything except watch with his eyes wide open.

The thunderbolts of the Converts Army were thrown one after another, and the explosion sounded like a thousand thunderbolts, which shook people's ears and made their ears buzz.

The more chaotic the Liao army is, the better it will be for the Converts Army, there is no need for Wu Ji to give an order, the Converts know what to do, all of them are to throw thunderbolts hard, look at them like that, they can't wait to blow the Liao Army back into their mother's belly.

At the same time as the thunderbolt was fired, the cavalry inserted behind the Liao army also exerted its power and began to rush to kill, which was chaos on top of chaos, and the Liao army could not resist it at all, and the situation was even more chaotic.

However, the more chaotic was still to come, and Modao immediately went into battle. Five hundred Mo knives were raised high and slashed down, and the Liao army was chopped into minced meat, and one piece of empty meat was chopped into the air, and it only took a moment to do so, and the ground was full of minced meat.

Mo knife is powerful, with earth-shattering power, everywhere it goes, the people and horses are empty, as if the Liao army has never appeared at all. Under the command of Wu Ji, the Mo swordsmen rushed to kill everywhere, which was a sweep, and the Liao army suffered countless casualties.

Not to be outdone, the crossbowmen threw enough thunderbolts and began to slash with their swords. The slashing knife is sharp, and the scimitar of the Liao army can't resist it, so it can only be slaughtered.

When the battle is reached here, the overall situation has been decided, and the victory of the Guixin army is a foregone conclusion.

Looking at the Liao army chasing and killing the Guixin army, Xi Ruo's whole body was cold, his eyes were straight, he didn't believe it at all, the Liao army, which was known as the elite of the world, was not the general of the Guixin army, and the Guixin army would be defeated with a charge.

This kind of thing, don't say believe it, you can't even dream of it. The Liao State pressed the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it has always been that when the two armies fought, the Liao army pressed up and attacked in turn, so that the Song army had no power to fight back, until the Song army was defeated, and then it was pursued and killed. The Song army pressed the Liao army to fight, or a charge to defeat the Liao army, in the hundreds of years of the Song-Liao War, it has never happened, this is the first time, to Xi Ruo believe that this is true, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

However, the facts are in front of him, and he has to believe even if he doesn't believe it. If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed it.

"What happened? Nanren can fight so well! Xi Ruo couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, a stray arrow flew and hit him in the throat, and Xi Ruo fell to the ground unwillingly. It's just that I don't know if Yelu Abaoji can understand the reason.

What would Jeruopo think if he knew that his army was vulnerable to the converts?

The battle was soon over, and thousands of Liao troops surrendered. Wu Ji didn't want to keep the prisoners, so with an order, the cavalry of the Guixin Army launched a charge and cut off the heads of thousands of Liao troops.

So far, Yelu Hongji's 8,000 troops invested for this year, including 1,000 leather room troops, have been wiped out. Moreover, it was the same army that killed these 8,000 troops, the Converts Army!

"Lord Zheng is right, our combat power is indeed amazing, and we can suppress the Liao army!" Wu Ji looked at the red battlefield and was very satisfied: "Our training is correct!" ”

"Correct?" Zheng Tai shook his head, patted Wu Ji's shoulder, and said, "It's very correct!" ”

"The army of the Great Song Dynasty can finally suppress the Liao dog and fight! Ha ha! Huangfu Song let out a hearty laugh and was full of joy.

In the past, it was the Liao army that pressed the Song army to fight, and now, it is finally the turn of the Song army to press the Liao army, which makes people happy and laugh!

"Actually, we have only restored the glory of our ancestors!" Qi Dabao raised his eyebrows and said loudly.

That's right, during the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Chinese [***] team had an overwhelming advantage, but the Song Dynasty was weak and threw away this advantage. And now, the Converts have restored the glory of their ancestors, not inferior to their ancestors!
