Chapter 22: The Tough Battle (I)

When the Liao army arrived, it quickly formed a formation, and the formation was solemn and heavy, giving people a sense of unshakability and shocking power. Especially the leather room army in the center, it is even more powerful, making people's hearts palpitate, and seeing the leather room army is like facing a group of fierce tigers.

"It's a leather room army! The real elite of the world! Wu Ji's eyes widened, looking at the leather room army, he was very surprised, as for the general Liao army, he directly ignored him.

"The Leather Room Army has a century-old reputation for murder, it's really not blown!" Mrs. Zheng was also surprised, and opened her mouth widely: "I have heard about the leather room army for a long time, and when I see it today, it is extraordinary!" Extraordinary! ”

"Although we hate Liaogou, we have to say that the leather room army is really good!" Huangfu Song's face was shocked, his voice was a little shrill and thin, and he said, "If the Great Song Dynasty can have a military-like army, it would be great!" ”

"If we had fought last year, if our opponent had been the Leather Army, our conversion would have fallen." Qi Dabao was a little lucky: "If it was the leather room army that attacked Xiongzhou last year, Xiongzhou would also be lost." ”

This is very reasonable, if Yelu Hongji had sent out the leather room army last year, he would definitely lose his faith and Xiongzhou. Although they have not yet fought against the leather room army, from the eyes of their experts, this momentum alone is not something that ordinary armies can have.

The formation of the converted army was rigorous and heavy, with an indestructible momentum, but not many of the soldiers had ever been on the battlefield, sharp but not sharp enough, fierce but not ruthless enough, compared with the leather room army that lived for the rest of the battle, one in the sky and the other in the ground, the difference was too far, too far.

"If the Leather Room Army is not idle on the battlefield, if he had known the result of the battle of last year, Yelu Hongji would have regretted that he did not send the Leather Room Army to fight." Mrs. Zheng said with a smile.

The Leather Room Army is too precious, and when it is idle, it will be sent to the battlefield, and only when it has to be sent to the battlefield, Yelu Hongji will send the Leather Room Army to battle.

Just when Wu Ji and the others were looking at the Liao army, Mu Wei and Bu Luhua were also looking at them.

"Which Song army is this, the formation is very good!" Bu Luhua first praised it, and then disdained: "Hmph! The army of the Southern Dynasties has always only had some showmanship, which is not practical, and it looks very fancy, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is useless. ”

This is very detrimental, but it talks about the weakness of the Song army, the training of the Song army is fancy, unrealistic, and merely ornamental, not suitable for the battlefield. The Liao State suppressed the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years and knew the weaknesses of the Song army well.

"Humph!" Mu Wei snorted coldly, glanced at Bulu Hua, and counted: "You are really blind and didn't see clearly." The army of the Southern Dynasties was merely ornamental, fancy, and not suitable for actual combat. However, there are also some generals who can train a good army, and if you look at the Song army in front of you, you will know that this is a very good army. ”

Mu Wei was very polite, although Bu Luhua was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to attack, so he had to accompany the smiling face: "My lord, no matter how powerful it is, there are adults here, and there is a leather room army, it's not for us to slaughter!" ”

"That's it!" This sycophant slapped on the heart of Mu Wei, he was very happy, patted the horse's back, turned the horse, faced the Liao army, and said loudly: "The warriors of the Great Liao: the opposite side is the army of the Southern Dynasty, they are so bold as to enter the border of the Great Liao, they are contemptuous of the Great Liao, and they don't take the Great Liao in their eyes!" This is the most arrogant move of the Southern Dynasty in more than a hundred years, the warriors of Daliao, use the scimitars in your hands to cut off the heads of the Southern people! ”

In the hundreds of years of the Song-Liao War, there has never been a Song army like the Guixin Army, swaggering in the Liao realm, which is contempt for the Liao army, is it tolerable, which is unbearable?

"Cut off the heads of the Southerners!" The Liao army erupted with a terrifying roar, all of them fierce as tigers, ready to add their claws to the body of the Converts.

Just as Mu Wei was speaking, Wu Ji was also speaking: "Brothers: We are not facing an ordinary Liao army, but the most elite leather room army in the Liao country!" The Pi Room Army is the forbidden army of the Liao Emperor, their hands are stained with the blood of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are full of crimes! Today, they are sent to the door, and we must not let them run! Brothers, killing all the leather room army is a slap in the face to Emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao, let's slap Yelu Hongji hard! ”

The leather room army is Yelu Hongji's forbidden army, and it is the most elite army in the Liao State, if it is killed by the Conversion Army, it is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face of Yelu Hongji, which is really happy.

"Kill all the leather room army!"

"Slap Yelu Hongji!"

The converts shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky, and the clouds in the sky shattered.

When Mu Wei heard it in his ears, he was angry in his heart, and his chest was about to explode, only to feel that the three corpses were jumping violently, his face was red, his eyes were about to erupt with fire, he pointed at the Converts and roared loudly: "Warriors of Da Liao, listen!" The southerners are insulting the emperor of Da Liao! In despising our wise emperor! ”

Yelu Hongji was very popular with the leather room army, and insulting Yelu Hongji in front of the leather room army was tantamount to digging their ancestral graves.

"Kill!" The scimitar in the hand of Mur Wei waved violently, and roared at the Returning Army, clamping the horse's belly, the war horse neighed, and rushed towards the Returning Army.

"Rumble!"

The sound of hooves sounded suddenly, and the 5,000 Liao troops pounced like tigers descending from the mountain, and the horse's hooves were filled with smoke and dust, like an angry dragon, rolling towards the converted army.

The leather room army is the leather room army, this charge is extraordinary, very deterrent, Wu Ji saw it in his eyes, and he was very approving. The biggest shortcoming of the Converts Army is that it has not gone through actual combat, and it does not have this kind of momentum that can only be experienced on the battlefield, and after this battle, it is believed that the Converts Army will make up for this shortcoming.

"Bow Breaker, Ready!" Wu Ji ordered loudly.

The crossbowman clenched the broken bow, concentrating on the enemy, and the crossbow arrows on the broken crossbow were like poisonous snakes, just waiting for Wu Ji to give an order, and they were about to pounce on the Liao army.

"Put!"

Estimating that the distance was almost over, Wu Ji ordered loudly.

"Woohoo!"

There was a sharp sound of breaking the sky, and thousands of crossbow arrows appeared in the air, weaving a net of arrows, and headed for the leather room military cover. The crossbow bolt jumped out like a poisonous snake and struck the Liao army fiercely.

The leather room army is extremely well-equipped, wearing fine armor, ordinary bows and arrows can't penetrate at all, at most leaving a spark, for the defense of the fine armor, Mu Wei has absolute confidence, just rush forward.

Today, however, they were doomed to bad luck, and they were greeted by a broken crossbow, a powerful bolt that pierced through the armor and into the flesh.

"Ahh Yes! ”

The screams of the leather room army continued, and I saw that the leather room army continued to fall from the horse with arrows, and after a while, there were forty or fifty more corpses on the ground. Leather room army, each one is a treasure, a loss of forty or fifty, is also a big loss, Mu Wei's eyes widened, and he almost couldn't believe that it was true.

Although the leather room army rarely dispatched, it was not undetected, in the past, once they were dispatched, no matter what the bows and arrows of the Song army were, there was no threat to them at all. If you want to shoot them, unless the Song army dispatches large strong crossbows, and there are no strong crossbows in the converted army, how can there be such powerful arrows that can penetrate the fine armor of the leather room army?

For this problem, Mu Wei definitely couldn't figure it out, and it wasn't when he thought about this problem, Mu Wei had been in battle for a long time, and he immediately knew how to deal with it: "Rush! Rush! Rush! ”

The Converts have such a sharp weapon, which is a great threat to the Leather Room Army, and the best way is to rush to the front of the Converts as fast as possible and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Converts. The most important way to reduce ranged damage is to reduce the time in the enemy's ranged damage.

There is nothing to say about the morale of the leather room army, although the loss of forty or fifty people at the beginning of the year, the price is not small, but it has no impact on the overall morale of the leather room army. Murwei yelled and shouted that the leather room army charged, but he did everything he could to rush towards the converting army.

Mur Wei's calculation was right, but they were no longer facing the previous Song army, but the converted army that had been improved by Wu Ji. On their way, crossbow bolts flew at all times, and many of the leather room soldiers were shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground.

"How long has it been since the southerners changed their playing style? Although they have good bows and crossbows, they are in front of the enemy and rush to the front of the battle after only three or four shots, what is the matter now? The southerners' crossbows are always on the move, and we're always in the middle of the crossbows! Murowei turned his mind as he charged.

According to his rich experience in fighting with the Song army, although the Song army had excellent bows and crossbows, they were not used well, and they rushed to the Song army, and the Song army was only three or four rounds, and the price they paid would not be too great.

However, as it is today, they have never been covered by crossbow arrows, this is the first time in the world, and he can't be confused.

Mur Wei was not only stunned, but also a little panicked, under the blow of the broken crossbow, the Liao army had to pay the price for every step forward. They only charged a hundred paces, and they killed and wounded more than 100 Pi Room troops, and the ordinary Liao army had not yet been counted. When all you count them, they paid a price of nearly two hundred.

This price is not too big, but this is only the beginning, they are still two hundred steps away from the Song army's formation, that is to say, they need to pay two more than two more costs when they rush to the front of the Song army's formation.

In the past, they paid such a price and rushed to the Song army. Today, they have only rushed a third of the way, and if they continue to fight like this, when they rush to the front of the Converting Army, the Pi Room Army alone will have to pay the price of attrition by one-third, which is already a half-crippled state.

Just charging will have to pay such a high price, and then there will be a charge, hand-to-hand combat, these are counted, even if the leather room army wins, this battle is fought, the leather room army will have to pay the price of more than half of the casualties.

Such a price is very rare in the history of the Liao State, and the more Mu Wei thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes. However, within the range of the Song army's crossbow array, there was no way to retreat, only to rush to the end, otherwise, the cost would be greater.

The leather room army is the main target, Wu Ji ordered the broken crossbow to greet the leather room army in the middle, there are more and more corpses on the ground, and the leather room army is rushing less and less.
