Chapter 495: Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (26)
There was a panicked scene in the camp of the Song army. The sergeants who were about to rest after dinner never thought that at this time, they would hear the sound of battle trumpets coming from outside the camp!
The sergeants who ran around frantically searched for their weapons and armor. Before he had time to get dressed, he pulled the auxiliaries and ran to saddle the horses and put them on the horses.
They were cavalry, and the horses were gathered together to watch over them when they were encamped. This is to prevent the horses from being frightened and running around. But when encountering an emergency military situation, no one can find their war horse for a while!
Although the horses of each army were placed separately, they were not far apart, and they were still generally together. These thousands of horses are gathered together, who will find their war horse in a short time? You can't even pull a horse for ride. Trained horses do not accept other masters.
Chen Ning, whose face had always been as black as the bottom of a pot, rushed out of his tent in a hurry. With a completely black face, he shouted loudly for the guards to gather all the generals.
Finally, the generals in charge of each army came here in full dress, and the sound of the marching horns outside the camp also stopped.
Without waiting for these unknown generals to discuss something, the generals in charge of the sentry of the camp ran over in a panic.
"Victorious army! Victorious Army!! The general ran so fast that he was out of breath and couldn't finish his sentence.
Chen Ning took a step forward, pinched his shoulder, and asked with an urgent face, "What's wrong with Chang Shengjun?!" ”
The soldier was frightened by Chen Ning's black face, and he couldn't breathe, and immediately shouted, "The army of the Changsheng Army is coming to our side!" All of them are armoured! ”
"What?!" All the generals were dumbfounded.
There are two ways for a large army to get out of camp. One is the march. Leave the armor and heavy troops to the care of the auxiliaries, and be transported by carts or pack horses. The regular soldiers were dressed in light armor, leather armor or single clothing, and rode on horses with handy blades.
There is also a way to fight! The sergeants were all armed with armor, lined up in formation, and were in front. The auxiliaries were behind. It's for combat!
At this moment, the victorious army discharged the battle posture and rushed towards the camp on his side, what did he want to do? Do you want to go to war?
Chen Ning pushed the general to the ground, and after groaning slightly, he turned sideways to look at Li Ye on the side with an extremely ugly face. The only thing he could think of was the things that Li Ye and his brother had done!
Li Ye's face was also pale. No one is a fool to be able to do this position. You only need to use your brain to understand why the winning army came!
"Check it out!" Chen Ning took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
Numerous generals also quickly figured this out. They all looked at Li Ye with complicated expressions, and rushed towards the gate of the camp without saying a word.
Heaven does not take it, but suffers from it.
For Gao Yang, who had been thinking about how to annex the Song army with thousands of cavalry, the people who came to him for help were completely sending him a timely rain. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a charcoal in the snow.
Gao Yang's original plan was to cut off the supply of grain and straw to the Song army through guò to force them to surrender to him. In addition to really wanting to help these people, another important purpose is to let the Song army run out of food!
Emperor Song Wengui Wu cheap. The local civil servants already looked down on these black-faced people. In this year of natural and man-made disasters, these troops have to be fed again and again, and they have already complained in their hearts.
At the beginning of the year, the army had already moved out of the warehouses by the local government. The autumn harvest has not confiscated much grain, and the imperial court has not sent any support, and now it has to supply the army again. No one on the stall can stand it.
It's just that they are the army of King Qinqin in the south, and no matter how much the local government complains, there is no way to refuse. Originally, they still wanted to give more to their own army, and the meaning of the guest army was forgotten.
However, when the victorious army not only did not want food, but kept distributing food to everyone along the way. This is a radical shift.
"You have food to eat, and if you can't eat it, you can give it to the hungry. Why do you still ask us for it?! "The local government can rightly refuse the generals who come to ask for supplies. Selectively ignoring the Chang Shengjun and these Song soldiers are not all the way!
In fact, the local government also has a certain responsibility for what happened today. If they had tried their best to provide food, they wouldn't have happened today! It's just that in the Imperial Song Dynasty, it is already their inherent concept that civilian officials look down on soldiers!
It's useless to say that now. When those people carried the corpses to the Song army camp to ask for an explanation, Gao Yang was thinking about how to use this matter to subdue this army.
Wait until bloody clashes break out again between the two sides. When the unwilling people approached the victorious army for help. Gao Yang, who had already begun to prepare, immediately responded as if he had not!
The army attacked, coerced by force!
With such a strong army composed of elite veterans who have been on the battlefield and has four or five thousand regular soldiers, how could Gao Yang let it go! The strength of this Song army is already close to half of the victorious army he brought.
It's not just about strengthening yourself. It is also to prevent being sold back when he is in a decisive battle with Wanyan Zongwang under Bianliang City! It's not once or twice that the Song army has done this kind of thing!
Although Gao Yang himself doesn't care, the military horses under his command can't afford to lose!
Gao Yang's soldiers are too few. He hasn't lost a single time since he started the army, so he can't see it. But. Even if you only lose once, it's absolutely nerve-wracking! He didn't have time to pull out a strong army.
Gao Yang, I can't afford to lose.
A large number of victorious troops discharged the crescent semi-ring formation, blocking most of the Song army's camp in a semi-encircled form. As for the Song army rushing out of the unguarded place behind, there was no need to worry at all. This is not a large-scale war in which hundreds of people fight together in groups, but in tens of thousands!
If you want to escape from the fence and prepare for battle, you have to line up in formation. It is simply impossible for such an army to do it without more than half an hour. It's going to have to be an elite army. This is long enough time for Gao Yang to sweep away those guys who have no formation with his heavy cavalry.
"High General!" Chen Ning, who was standing on the sentry fence by the gate of the camp, shouted to Gao Yang in the distance, "The army is coming, what is the matter?!" ”
Gao Yang stretched out his hand and gently patted the neck of the black horse under his crotch to soothe the war horse who seemed overexcited because he was on the battlefield. raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth curled, and he sketched a shallow smile with inexplicable meaning.
The metal-gloved hand took a megaphone from the hook on the horse's back, put it to his mouth, took a deep breath, and shouted angrily, "Heaven is clear, retribution is unpleasant." Don't pretend to be pure there! Don't you know what I'm here to do? If you dare to do it, you must dare to do it! All the masters, hand over everyone! ”
Words with a hint of metallic accents drifted across the empty earth with the evening breeze. Even the people who remained in the camp of the victorious army in the distance could hear it.
As for the people in the Song army camp, they heard it more clearly. Everyone's faces immediately changed. Especially Li Ye, his hands hanging on his legs were trembling slightly.
Chen Ning's swarthy face flashed red and white. The clay figurines still have a lot of rustic spirit, not to mention these veterans of the battlefield who have been in the army all the year round and don't know how much blood they have glued to their hands?
Although it is said that Gao Yang is here to find trouble with Li Ye. However, he, Chen Ning, is the nominal leader of this army and horse. Moreover, no matter what, Li Ye and they are all Song Jun. And Gao Yang and Chang Shengjun are just guest troops! Here, it's the territory of the Emperor Song Dynasty!
After taking a deep breath and exhaling the turbid air heavily, he shouted loudly with a calm face, "High General!" This is our Emperor Song's family affair! You'd better not be nosy! Please come back! ”
After finishing speaking, he immediately turned his head and glared at the generals behind him, and shouted, "Why don't you hurry up and straighten out the military horses?" What are you waiting for?! ”
"Hmph." Gao Yang snorted coldly, and a look of indifference flashed in his eyes. Reach out and pull off the visor from the helmet. Turning sideways slightly, he nodded to Chen Fangliang on the side.
The trumpets sounded, and the war drums sounded in unison!
The victorious army of the brigade dispersed, revealing a large area of open space and passages behind them. A large number of auxiliaries shouted slogans and drove up a terrifying bed crossbow on pack horses, which was originally used to defend the city!
The Song State camp all gasped. As professional soldiers, they know better than anyone how terrifying these bed crossbows are.
Not to mention, after the bed crossbow, those auxiliaries also brought in a large number of stone throwers!
"Impossible!" A general of the Shengjie Army roared in disbelief, "I've been watching all the way, and they haven't brought these things with them at all!" Where did all this come from?! ”
Everyone was dumbfounded. It's not just the general. Almost all of them were keeping an eye out for the situation of the victorious army along the way.
It's like the seemingly inexhaustible food in the victorious army. These terrifying sharp weapons appeared inexplicably. No one knows where they came from.
Now things are not good.
Before, Chen Ning still wanted to rely on the big camp to hold on, even if Gao Yang really wanted to turn his face, it was not easy to rely on the cavalry to capture the big camp. Where would you have thought that Gao Yang didn't know where to get so many sharp weapons.
"Did he have a premeditated plan? It's impossible, even if you have this intention, how did you bring things here? There are thousands of troops along the way, and no one has noticed so many pairs of eyes? Chen Ning's mind was foggy for a while, he didn't understand how Gao Yang did it.
There was a panic inside the Song army camp, and the victorious army outside didn't care about this. Now that Gao Yang's military order has been issued, then they have to carry it out!
The bed crossbow was quickly erected. Huge crossbow bolts as thick as children's arms, with a dull metallic sheen, were placed in the trough. Prepare to fly to the Song army camp in the distance.
The stone thrower has also been erected. These simple stone throwing machines produced according to modern space-time design ideas are very simple to assemble or disassemble. It is completely fool-proof, and it can be easily assembled by only controlling several architectures. (To be continued......)
