Chapter 235: The Great Enemy Is Now
The rest of the Liao army saw that the main general had been killed, and one by one they fled to the mouth of the canyon in embarrassment, and at this time the fire in the canyon was about to burn out, Ding Qian stood up and waved the small red flag and shouted: "Brothers, beat the drum and charge. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The four-sided cowhide drums on the hillside suddenly sounded deafeningly, and Ding Qianshu pulled out the cold and shining sword at his waist and said loudly: "The time has come for the brothers to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, follow me!" The soldiers also shouted in unison, waved their swords and followed closely behind Ding Qian, chopping melons and vegetables to kill the enemy.
Xu Gang on the opposite hillside also led his soldiers to rush down the hillside, the two armies fought together, the shouts of the soldiers on both sides, the collision of weapons, the sorrowful sound of the war horses resounded in the sky, after two more than an hour of fighting, in the end, except for 8,000 Liao troops broke through, the rest were all annihilated.
Ding Qian looked at the battlefield and said loudly: "Clean up the battlefield!" ā
Soon the battlefield was cleaned up, many weapons and 3,000 horses were captured, and more than 3,000 soldiers led by Ding Qian were killed.
Although it was an ambush and a surprise attack on the Liao army, the Song army still paid such a heavy price, which shows the fierceness of the Liao people.
Ding Qian commanded the soldiers, put the captured armor, tent weapons, etc. on horseback, and quickly left the canyon.
After a half-day rapid march, they returned to Xiongzhou City.
The wounded placed by Ding Qian came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Zongbao said: "Marshal, the last general will pay the order!" ā
Yang Zongbao happily took Ding Qian's hand and said: "Lord of the army, as expected, the enemy army entered the ambush circle as you expected, this time they can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and the siege of Xiongzhou City cannot be done." ā
Ding Qian lowered his head heavily and said: "Marshal, the last general is incompetent, leading the army to fight the Liao army in ambush, and there are still 3,000 soldiers killed on our side." ā
Yang Zongbao patted Ding Qian's shoulder and comforted: "Lord Joining, don't be too sad, it's the first time you led a team to go out, and it's really great to be able to get such a battle." ā
Ding Qian shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I didn't expect the Liao army to be so fierce, and it is really unexpected that they can organize a counteroffensive when they are suddenly attacked by our army." It looks like the next battle will be tougher. ā
Yang Zongbao said: "No matter how difficult it is, we must resolutely fight, otherwise we will live up to the expectations of the Holy Grace and the people." ā
Ding Qiandao: "For us, the crisis on the west road is temporarily lifted, but the enemy attack in the east and north is bound to be more ferocious, especially on the north road, only relying on the Qinghe River as a barrier may not be able to stop it for a few days, therefore, we have to think of some ways to do it, take advantage of the terrain, first eliminate some of the living forces of the Liao army, and then retreat to the city to defend it, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack when the enemy army is tired." ā
Yang Zongbao said: "Good! ā
Besides, the marshal of the Liao army, Yu Lu Mengda, was leading the main army of 70,000 to advance to Xiongzhou City, and suddenly received a battle report from the fast horse of the defenders of Yi County.
Yu Lu Mengda heard that the colonel who came to deliver the letter said that the 40,000 troops on the west road encountered an ambush by the Song army on the way, and the general of the unified army, Temuhan, had already died in battle, and suddenly said like thunder: "Damn, damn, these damn southern barbarians are so cunning that they can beat Temuhan by surprise." Alas, I lost more than 30,000 horses in one son, which really me off. ā
The deputy marshal who followed behind Yu Lu Mengda said: "Marshal, don't be angry, if you are angry, it is easy to lose your wise judgment, which is very unfavorable to our army's next move, and besides, victory or defeat is a matter for the soldiers, we have lost some men and horses, but we must avenge this arrow." ā
Yu Lu Mengda said angrily: "It's easy to say, is this arrow revenge so easy to get revenge, and if we want to take revenge, then Yang Zongbao, the marshal of the Song army, will definitely want to take revenge on me, don't forget his grandfather Yang Jiye, but he died under the hands of my father." ā
The deputy marshal said: "The marshal said very well, it is better to be careful when we come to attack Xiongzhou City this time." ā
Yu Lu Mengda said disdainfully: "Yes, although we have been ambushed, we should be cautious, but we can't shrink back and fear the enemy, don't worry, Yang Zongbao's grandfather is a veteran of the battlefield for many years, and he also fell into my father's ambush, Yang Zongbao is no matter how powerful he is, can he compare to Yang Jiye!" Wait, I will definitely capture Yang Zongbao, the little Nanzi, alive, and avenge General Temuhan. ā
The deputy marshal patted Yu Lu Mengda's ass and said: "The marshal's courage and scheming are probably beyond Yang Zongbao's reach, taking Xiongzhou City and capturing Yang Zongbao alive is just around the corner." ā
Yu Lu Mengda said triumphantly: "Hmph, this Great Song Dynasty is currently only counting on Yang Zongbao, if Yang Zongbao is taken in this battle, then our army will be able to drive straight in, drink the horse Bianshui River, and everyone can be crowned king and wait there, and there is endless glory and wealth." ā
The deputy marshal said: "Marshal, I heard that Tokyo Bianliang City is a prosperous world of flowers, I don't know how many times stronger than our Xingqing Mansion." ā
Yu Lu Mengda laughed and said: "Haha, what a prosperous world of flowers and flowers, it will soon belong to my Da Liao." The three armies were ordered to speed up and advance to Xiongzhou City day and night. ā
The flag officer next to him listened: "Order!" He urged the horse to run towards the marching army, shouting as he ran: "The generalissimo has an order, speed up, advance to Xiongzhou City, take Xiongzhou as soon as possible, and enter Bianliang City in Tokyo, where the gold and silver treasures, beautiful women and beautiful women are all yours." ā
When the Liao army heard this, they happily urged the war horses, and ran to the front with a shout of "hey, hey, hey".
Soon came to the Daqing River and set up a formation along the river.
Yu Lu Yongda, the marshal of the Liao army who was stationed here before, hurriedly led his generals to Yu Lu Mengda, dismounted and bowed: "Generalissimo, the last general is here to greet you!" ā
Although this Yu Lu Yongda is also a marshal, it is still a grade worse than Yu Lu Mengda, Yu Lu Mengda is the generalissimo of the entire Great Liao State, and Yu Lu Yongda is just one of the small marshals from all walks of life, so he has to bow to the generalissimo Yu Lu Mengda and say goodbye.
