Chapter 249: The Great River Goes East (18)
Everyone was discerning the meaning of the banner, and suddenly one by one the generals hung down, and then they scolded: "Straight lady thief, Tai Lieutenant, this is not for us to be the children of the Huanqing Army, what kind of military order is this!" ”
The Shiben reacted a little slower than the leading generals, but it caused a greater movement, and in the ranks, the voice of shouting and cursing shook the sky: "Straight mother thief, if you want to conquer Yanjing, if you want to be crowned king, if you want to enjoy happiness in Bianliang, don't want us to celebrate the children!" You captain, you didn't work hard to fight it! If we don't save it, even if we are here, we will not fight! ”
The sound of shouting, resounding in the sky, between the camps, has been connected, in the slowly approaching Liao army array, Xiao Gan's tall and thin figure, surrounded by the children of the Liao people's noble clan, he is wearing a silver armor today, wrapped in a black cloak, the cloak is extremely long, and it is open in the wind, just like a huge banner.
The shouts that suddenly erupted in the Song military camp were not very clear to the nose, but here in Xiao Gan, he could also understand that it was not the roar of facing a strong enemy, but the meaning of injustice and shaking resentment!
Xiao Gan laughed and looked back at the guards around him: "Liu Yanqing is like this, he will break the enemy!" ”
The back road of the Huanqing army is already a mess, a fireworks, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, although the Song army has more than 10,000 troops to cover, but the defense itself has a problem, Huyan Zhuo family generals, leading the town to guard the back road, after protecting the back road after the heavy responsibility, has long been along both sides of the avenue, set up a flat extension of the fence, there is a trench defense system.
It was precisely because Hu Yanzhuo was a cautious person that Liu Yanqing gave him the task of guarding the back road, but as a large number of heavy wagons and horses were collected on the north bank of the Gaoliang River, the territory occupied by these lifting utensils became larger and larger, until they were out of the original defense system.
The Song army, which was responsible for defending them, had to move on both sides, and it was too late to build a new defensive system. The Liao army had already attacked with a large group of cavalry.
The Song army had to rely on the terrain to fight, and the solidity of the defense was greatly reduced, and the Song army stayed behind the troops. On both sides of the road, only the forces could be divided equally.
This is also the right way, the lack of cavalry sentinels, in case the Liao people attack, no one knows which direction it may come from, so they have to be half on one side, but the Liao people are impacted, there must be a focus, but at that time. In the middle, there were all kinds of heavy carts and horses, and tens of thousands of people were blocked.
Even if the Song army wanted to dispatch reinforcements, it became extremely difficult, these reasons were still small, and what surprised Hu Yanzhuo the most was the surprise attack launched by the Liao army on this day. He felt a fighting spirit that he had never seen before.
The cavalry of the Liao brigade followed one after another. No matter the casualties, no matter the formation, no matter how much it costs, you have to rush into the back road of the Song army, burn the baggage utensils, and cut off the back road of the Huanqing army!
This was the last battle of the Great Liao Empire. Xiao Yan has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and his weak reserves are only enough for him to fight a battle, and if he can't win this battle, Da Liao, which has been established for 215 years, will only perish!
Such a crazy shock. Let the Song army's originally stable infantry array be destroyed like this!
In Hu Yanzhuo's eyes, everything seems to have become an apocalyptic scene, in the original Song army still has an array, desperately shooting feather arrows and crossbow arrows to block the attack, the corpses of Liao people and horses, the highest place is stacked with a person high, the blood of the dead and the dead horses dyed the snow red, and these blood water can't even absorb the land.
Based on the experience of the veteran of the Huyanzhuo battlefield, at a glance, you can know that the Liao people copied more than 10,000 cavalry on the back road, but under the interception of the Song army, there were more than three or four thousand lost on the way to the impact!
In the past, no matter how strong the cavalry was, among the 10,000 cavalry, the loss of a thousand horses, they fell apart and retreated, and they could no longer bear more casualties, so when the Song army formed an array and raised the bow and a half in their hands, whether it was the Liao army or the iron harriers of Western Xia, or even the chaotic light cavalry of Tubo, Qingtang and Zhuqiang, they would not easily rush into battle.
But today's Liao people have endured, it should be said that they have ignored such huge casualties, and the bones of countless Liao knights and horses have paved a road to the back of the Song army's array.
The Liao knights who continued to pour in later broke through the array of the Song army and rushed into the panicked people of the brigade, throwing fire-starting objects everywhere, slashing and killing everywhere.
The people were originally nervous and reluctant to stay behind the protection of the Song army's array, and when the Liao army's iron cavalry broke in, the men and horses were all blood-red and rushed in, frantically rushing left and right.
Tens of thousands of people suddenly collapsed, shouting and running aimlessly on the battlefield, those Song people who led them to Hebei Zhulu transfer Sima, no better than them, these little civil officials wearing long robes, behaved even more out of shape than these people!
Tens of thousands of people collapsed at the same time, and the situation could no longer be contained, such a frenzied crowd rushed in all directions, and the Liao cavalry was mixed in, the same danger, chaotic crowd, could overturn and trample them at any time, even with men and horses, until they became a mess of flesh.
These Liao cavalry didn't care, as long as they could still move, they would rush to the place where the military assets were piled up and set fire, after a battle, this 10,000 cavalry Liao army used to intercept the back road of the Huanqing army, it would be good if half of it could remain.
Hu Yanzhuo has been watching blankly, watching this frenzied tide destroy all the back roads around him, watching several pontoon bridges burning, falling down, and watching the sun slowly move towards the middle.
And the camp of the Huanqing Army, which is only ten miles away from the back road, still has no reinforcements coming, and the generals have been surrounding Hu Yanzhuo to kill while leaning southward, this straight thief Liu Taiwei is no longer reliable, even if he kills in the middle of the army, maybe he doesn't even dare to open the gate to them.
Before arriving at the Gaoliang River, there was a pontoon bridge in the Gaoliang River, Hu Yanzhuo looked back at his own camp, it was already in flames, and all the soldiers around him were all scarred, and at this time, there were less than two hundred people behind him.
The Liao people behind him rushed to kill the sky, and the soldiers behind him guarded Hu Yanzhuo, "General, cross the river, in the future, please get justice for us!" After finishing speaking, he mustered up the last remaining bravery, and more than 200 warriors rushed straight to the Liao people, fighting for the last chance of life for Hu Yanzhuo.
Hu Yanzhuo's tiger eyes were full of tears, the war horse under his crotch was already mixed with sweat and blood, Hu Yanzhuo held a double whip, and sighed: "The back road is lost, a certain crime is also, Tong Xuanshuai is slightly wrong, the captain is at a loss, there will be a big defeat, this time to the north, the two battles of Baigou sorghum of the Huanqing Army, both are the main force, both are defeated, a certain Song Dynasty general, how can he turn back to the south, face to face to see his father?"
