Chapter 337: Battle (2)
"Okay, you go back and tell Zhao Gu that tomorrow morning, this king will lead 200,000 iron cavalry to fight him to the death. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," Han Derang said eventually.
"Whew."
With a long sigh of relief in his heart, the tall general nodded, and then took his leave and left.
Returning to the military tent of the Liao State, Zhao Gu learned of Han Derang's decision, and began to reorganize the army.
On the second day, when the sun was first born, the Liao army had assembled and stood by, and the 150,000 troops stood in unison on the grassland to accept the final review of Zhao Gu.
On the handsome platform, Zhao Gu said in a loud voice: "Everyone, you must know my identity, I am Zhao Gu, the Duke of Zhuoguo of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the person who snatched the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from you. ”
The 150,000 soldiers immediately talked about it, and many people looked at Zhao Gu with unkind eyes.
Zhao Gu didn't care, and continued: "In the original battle, I saw the combat power of the soldiers of the Liao State, in one word, it was rotten!" ”
"You fart." One soldier shouted.
Immediately afterwards, more and more soldiers began to verbally attack Zhao Gu, if it weren't for the fear that he was the commander of the three armies, I am afraid that these soldiers would rush up and kill people.
Zhao Gu was still calm and asked, "In this way, why did you lose the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?" ”
When the soldiers heard this, they were dumb all of a sudden, although they were very barbaric compared to the Song people, but they were also ashamed, the battle of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the Song army recaptured Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures with their ability, which even the Liao soldiers could not admit.
In particular, the Shuozhou offensive and defensive battle led by Zhao Gu at the beginning, with thousands of soldiers and a group of poor people, resisted the multi-day attack of tens of thousands of troops of Liao, and finally directly killed the supreme commander of Liaoguo at that time, which was an achievement achieved by relying entirely on real swords and guns.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Liao State finally fell silent, Zhao Gu stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, shouting: "If you want to prove that you are not weaker than the Song soldiers, and if you want to prove your worth, then rush forward for me!" The honor of a soldier should be won on the battlefield, and not by scolding the street here, that is the behavior of shrews. ”
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The soldiers of the Liao State suddenly became surging and kept shouting, full of strength.
"Good." Zhao Gu nodded: "Then let's fight, let me see the majesty of the steppe wolf." ”
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The soldiers continued to chant.
Zhao Gu nodded, didn't say more, and directly pointed with his big hand, and the 150,000 Liao soldiers suddenly came out of the honeycomb and went straight to Han Derang's army.
An army of 150,000 is 150,000 cavalry, and there is no infantry in the Liao army.
In the army of Liao, almost everyone has horses, and the logistics soldiers are not without them, but they also have a horse, although most of those horses are old and weak.
The 150,000 cavalry ran, its momentum can be described as a shock to the sky, extremely amazing, the smoke rolled up like a storm, charming eyes, the sound made like thunder, shaking the ground, like an earthquake.
From a distance, the 150,000-strong army roared like a raging wind, like a rushing river, as if it could crush everything.
Although Zhao Gu led the army many times, it was the first time he saw this kind of spectacle, and he was quite shocked in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly take advantage of the Great Song Dynasty, fortunately, the Great Song Dynasty has many mountains and hills, which is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations, otherwise with Zhao Guangyi's elm pimple head and a bunch of rotten Confucianism, it is estimated that in a few years, the Great Song Dynasty will be swallowed by the Liao State.
Of course, this conclusion is in the case that the generals do not do it, after all, the people of the Song Dynasty are not muddy, although the soldiers are not as good as the Liao soldiers in their individual ability, but there are also many people who have good combat power, plus the excellent leadership ability of the generals, they can also compete with the Liao soldiers.
You don't see Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, who are loyal to the country in later generations, have led the Yue family army to block the Jin soldiers for many years, and even almost smashed Huanglong?
But if Zhao Guangyi is placed in Yue Fei's era, in the face of the Jin soldiers' pressing step by step, I am afraid that Zhao Guangyi is not as good as Zhao Gou, and a military general like Yue Fei who was suspected and died is afraid that the corpses will be piled up in Kaifeng City.
Looking at Han Derang's side again, his 300,000 troops were not all dispatched, but 200,000 were used, and the remaining 100,000 people seemed to be on the official website, it seemed that he was afraid that Zhao Gu would have a backhand.
In fact, Zhao Gu naturally has a backhand, that is, those forts, the effective range of the forts is extremely long, even if Han De makes the 100,000 troops far away, if Zhao Gu wants to clean them up, it is just a matter of adjusting the angle of the forts.
On the prairie, the army of Liao and Han Derang finally collided together, and the convergence of the two steel torrents collided with fierce sparks.
In the first moment, hundreds of people were killed, or they were killed, or they fell off their horses and were trampled to death by the horses behind.
Cavalry combat is like this, the mobility is strong, the impact is great, the momentum is heavy, and the consumption is naturally great.
After the first round of contact between the two sides, the arrows in their respective rear armies began to whistle and go straight to the front of the cavalry, and both sides did so, and immediately harvested one life after another.
Some people are unlucky, and even get shot by several arrows at the same time, like hedgehogs.
When the arrow hit the horse, the chain reaction was even greater, and the horse was frightened by the pain, and overturned the cavalry on the horse, and even overwhelmed the cavalry and the horse behind.
As a result, the cavalry on both sides were blocked by flying swords, forced to retreat, or disconnected, and gradually could not maintain their formation, and became cavalry groups fighting separately, each fighting with their opponents.
Someone was constantly being killed and fell to the ground, someone was constantly swinging a scimitar, and the arrows never stopped, and a hidden arrow would shoot somewhere, killing a cavalryman.
At this time, the quality of these well-trained cavalrymen was reflected, and in the face of dark arrows, they also had a way to deal with them, that is, to keep running, otherwise the horses would stop, so as not to become a live target, no matter who they fought with, they were all touch-and-leave, and they never loved to fight, so that many dark arrows were shot empty.
After the two sides fought for an hour, the cavalry on both sides had been completely mixed together, chaotic like a pot of gruel, everywhere, there were belligerent cavalry, some cavalry was unlucky, looked around, found that there were only enemy troops left around, and there was no longer a comrade-in-arms.
Disorderly!
The warriors roared, screamed, waved, resisted, killed the enemy at sight, and repeated the mechanical movements.
At this time, the soldiers and horses on both sides were already red-eyed, and it was impossible to tell who had more casualties for a while.
