On the 6th day of the first month of March, heavy snow fell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, this scene reproduces the sixteen states of Yanyun.

In the early hours of the morning, it snowed heavily in the sky, and the north wind howled, striking the branches of the trees and making a 'whimpering' sound, which made people's scalps tingle.

In the morning, the sun had not yet come out, but the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and in the blink of an eye it was as deep as an adult's calf.

The temperature is getting colder and colder, and people have to wear thick cotton jackets outdoors, otherwise they will only need to stand for a quarter of an hour and freeze into popsicles.

Inside and outside Shuozhou, because of its proximity to the south, the snow is slightly lighter, but the temperature is still low, and the scale of the heavy snow is also extraordinary.

It was in such an environment that 20 miles outside Shuozhou City, there were 180,000 Liao soldiers prostrate on the ground, like dead corpses.

It is only when the wind occasionally howls and the snow adds a point that they slowly crawl forward for a while, unusually slowly.

Half a day later, the 180,000 Liao army had only advanced for more than ten miles, and it was still ten miles away from Shuozhou City.

Another half a day passed, and just as the night came, the 180,000 Liao army touched the city of Shuozhou.

Fierce battles are coming!

The 180,000 Liao troops suddenly jumped up from the snow, and the 30,000 archers shot a rain of arrows like a wind, and in an instant, the 500 Song soldiers guarding the city tower were shot into a hornet's nest.

"Enemy attack!" The soldiers in Shuozhou City shouted in horror.

"Siege." A deep voice then came from among the Liao army.

The 180,000 Liao soldiers took out the ropes tied with iron claws from their bosoms and threw them at the city wall with a 'hula'.

Before the Song army could react, the Liao army had already climbed half of the city wall, and by the time the Song army arrived, tens of thousands of Liao troops had rushed to the city wall.

In just one stick of incense, Shuozhou City is already in a critical situation!

The Song army then launched a counteroffensive, and the Song and Liao sides launched a fierce duel on the city wall, and the Liao army was forced to retreat by the Song army again and again, but attacked again and again.

In the wind and snow, red blood spilled all over the ground, and the blood melted the snow, and the red was dazzling.

Finally, all the 180,000 soldiers of the Liao army climbed the city wall, and these 180,000 soldiers consumed an astonishing 30,000 in this short period of time.

The Song army also suffered heavy losses, so they had to retreat into the city, leaving behind a corpse.

At this time, the city wall was full of dead bodies, and it was possible to step on other people's corpses if you took any step.

In some places, the corpses have been piled up into mountains, and various organs are so mixed that it is impossible to distinguish who is who.

The war was tragic, but the Song and Liao sides did not care about these, and after capturing the city wall, the Liao army continued to march and ran towards the Song army in the city.

In the city, the remaining 5,000 Song soldiers retreated into the alleys, although facing thousands of troops, none of them showed a look of fear, on the contrary, many people were full of excitement.

Just when the Liao army surrounded the city where the Song soldiers focused on breeding, a rocket shot at the Liao army with a 'poof'.

The rocket is not fast under the wind and snow, and the flame seems to be there and now, as if it will be extinguished at any time.

But when this rocket was fired on a piece of new soil in the middle of the city, it seemed that the thunder had hooked the earth's fire, and it instantly caused a violent reaction.

In the eyes of the Liao army, this rocket seemed to have ignited something, and they only heard a 'bang' sound, and then they felt as if the world was turned upside down, their bodies were lifted away, and a deafening sound was heard in their ears, and then they lost consciousness directly.

In the eyes of the Song army, only to hear the sound of "bang" kept coming, and then pieces of land were turned up again and again, teams of Liao troops were torn and buried, and houses were destroyed, and the scene was extremely terrifying.

After a stick of incense, the explosion stopped, and looking into the distance, the 180,000 Liao army had lost 50,000 people, and many of the other 100,000 people were injured, and their faces were extremely frightened.

The two sides of Song and Liao looked at each other from a distance across a ravine that had been blown up, but the Liao army did not dare to take a step forward, while the Song army was all smiling and relaxed.

There were also many Song soldiers who posed provocatively towards the Liao army, as if hoping that they would make another sprint.

The Liao army didn't dare to move directly!

The remaining 100,000 Liao troops, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to take a step, and there has been no order in their Chinese army for a long time.

After a long time, a tired sigh sounded among the Chinese army of the Liao army, and said, "Retreat." ”

Soon, the horn of the Liao army's retreat sounded, and the 100,000 Liao army immediately ran quickly towards the outside of Shuozhou City, as if they had seen a ghost.

However, the Liao army had just left the city, and before the ghostly expression on his face could be put away, he immediately showed an even more frightened look.

I saw that outside Shuozhou City, 30,000 cavalry of the Song Army were waiting for them, staring at them, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

100,000 against 30,000, why is the Liao army so afraid?

Because the Song army was cavalry, and the Liao army was all infantry in order to facilitate the siege.

The cavalry of this era is like special forces, with strong mobility and ten, not to mention that the more cavalry there are, the greater the advantage.

In history, it is not uncommon for a certain general to storm the enemy's thousands of infantry troops with hundreds of cavalry, or to lead an army to break through among ten thousand troops, which is the actual proof of the strength of the cavalry force.

And Liao is famous for its iron horses, and it knows the advantages and disadvantages of it well.

That's why they are so afraid, if the 30,000 cavalry play normally, it will be as easy as chopping straw to harvest the lives of 100,000 infantry troops, not to mention that at this time, the heavy snow is continuous, and the Liao army has no place to run, so they can only be slaughtered.

Moreover, there were 5,000 soldiers in Shuozhou City, which made the Song army even more advantageous.

And that's not counting their chilling means of explosion, the Liao army has reason to believe that even if the Song army didn't have cavalry here, it would be difficult for them to go back alive today.

Since seeing these 30,000 Song cavalry, the morale of the Liao soldiers began to be depressed, in this desperate situation where there is no way to go to the sky and no way to go down, facing the 30,000 cavalry, the Liao soldiers seem to have seen the fate of their heads in different places.

At this time, a horse stepped out of the middle of the Liao army, and immediately carried a middle-aged and powerful man in his thirties and forties.

"Which general is in command of the Song army in front, can you come out and see it?" The middle-aged man asked.

The soldiers in the Song army spontaneously made way of a road, and Yang Yanzhao, who was holding a golden sword, rode out on a horse to meet him, and said, "Yang Yanzhao is here, who are you?" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned: "Golden knife? Who are you Yang Ye? ”

"My father is Yang Ye." Yang Yanzhao touched the golden knife in his hand and replied calmly.
