The soldiers and horses of the former army of the Great Song Dynasty added up to 10,000 people, and at this time the former army wore helmets and armor, and marched day and night, most of them were soldiers of the Xihe Army.

In order to maintain a certain horsepower to cope with special circumstances, the cavalry will jump off the horse and lead the horse when it is tired after walking for a period of time, which not only moves the body, but also makes the horse less burdened.

Despite this, the high-intensity march left some soldiers behind, and the soldiers who fell behind were left unattended, so let them go with the grain and grass soldiers behind.

Although if everyone is late, General Wang Yu may not carry out this order, but if most of the soldiers and horses arrive, the late person will be unlucky.

In the middle of the march, the officers and men of the battalions chased after each other, and the organization and queue were already in chaos, but these were not problems, and the first thing they wanted was to get there, and after they got there, they would make a little rectification, and after finding out the latest situation on the front line, it would not be too late to decide on the next move.

At midnight, the three armies were stationed in place for a short rest.

The soldiers took off their sleeping bags, chewed dry food, poured cold water, prepared forage, and fed their horses, and were busy for most of the hour before falling asleep.

On the fifth watch, the trumpeter was woken up by the officers and soldiers who were patrolling the night, rubbed his eyes and got up, blew the trumpet to wake up the soldiers who were sleeping all over the mountains, and after a little rectification, he hurried on the road again.

It was another day of rapid marching, and there was only half a day's journey from where Wang Yu was, and it was already the second watch.

Yao Pingzhong ordered to rest in place and cross the valley early tomorrow morning. Arriving at the place before tomorrow night, the military order was given, and the three armies were stationed in place, arranged for food and rest, and recovered their strength.

Cooking in the dark, feeding the horses, and waiting for the exhausted soldiers to get into their sleeping bags. Pillowing their waist knives, they were about to fall into a deep sleep when they suddenly felt a slight tremor from the ground beneath them.

"Big things are not good!"

Without the general's orders, the experienced veterans knew that something was wrong, because with the tremor of the earth, the sound of horses' hooves had reached their ears, and a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared in this place, and when they heard the sound of the hooves, it was clear that they were sprinting. It could never be your own people.

As the soldiers shouted and screamed out of their sleeping bags, they didn't care about being disheveled. I didn't have time to put on my armor, so I just picked up the saddle and hurriedly put it on the horse's back, before I could tie the silk tightly. The sound of rumbling horses' hooves began to roar in my ears.

Thousands of troops, wielding bright steel knives, swooped down from the darkness, like ghosts. A panicked recruit saw a dark shadow sweeping past him with a strong wind, and then the screams of his companions sounded farther ahead.

The terrified soldiers were glad they had escaped. Another dark shadow swept past him in the wind, and this time he was not so lucky, the sharp saber splitting him in half from shoulder to hip.

It was a brutal slaughter, and the Great Song army, which was exhausted by men and horses, was already at the end of its strong crossbows, and was attacked by enemy cavalry when it was completely defenseless and most lax.

The enemy's attack was so fast that even the outlying sentinels did not have time to report back the alarm. In a hurry, even if the Great Song army wanted to form a formation in place to defend itself, it became a delusion, let alone a powerful counterattack.

Although the attacking Liao army looked scattered and had no formation, they tacitly formed a group of three to form an acute angle attack formation. Cooperate with each other to cut out all obstacles caused to your comrades and maintain the fastest charging speed.

And each attack Sharp Triangle maintained enough distance to ensure that after they rushed into the enemy formation, their comrades in the rear still continued to speed and launched a second round of attacks at the same speed.

The assault was unfolded throughout the camp where the front army was stationed, and in each place the overwhelming assault maintained at least five rounds of charge, which were enough to kill a fifth of the advance army and cause them great confusion, so as to ensure that when the army passing through the camp returned for a second round of sweeps, the Song army would still not be able to form an effective counterattack.

The Great Song army fell into absolute chaos, no one could make a unified command and dispatch of the whole army in this situation, and they had no time to figure out who this sudden army of soldiers and horses was, where they came from, they could only fight on their own.

At this time, the elite troops fully showed their ability, with their previous combat and drill experience, they spontaneously formed a circle, the soldiers on the periphery stabbed the enemy knights with spears, cut the legs of the enemy's horses in the dark night with horizontal knives, and used their own lives to buy time for their comrades in the middle, so that they could saddle their horses as soon as possible.

In such a surprise situation, they could not even organize a dense array of guns, and without cavalry confrontation, the whole army would be doomed to be wiped out.

Soon, the well-dressed cavalry came out from the inside, fought with the enemy's cavalry, and in cooperation with their foot comrades, approached the other spontaneously formed defensive camps, merging with each other and forming a larger circle.

Because under the assault of the cavalry, they have been divided into large and small camps, and if they do not converge as soon as possible, their death is only a matter of time.

Yao Pingzhong had already come out of the camp at this time, he was just a part of the former army that had to be conceded, at this time, I didn't know what was wrong, not far behind him, a member of the team came in embarrassment, "Xiao Yao Xianggong, the Liao people are not frustrated by the king of the Shengjie army, how did they come to us like this!" ”

"Confused, how confused!" Yao Pingzhong scolded, "The Shengjie Army is one of the few light cavalry in our Western Army, and the total is only about two or three thousand, and how many Liao people are there?" The slightest leakage of strength from the fingers is full power to drag the Shengjie army, and what they are waiting for is the army of 10,000 people in our back! ”

"Tong Xuanshuai, who hates the straight thief, believed the news of the defeat of the Liao people when he was born, and he was so rash, but he had no chance at all!" Yao Pingzhong scolded after a while, and the generals didn't look at each other, even though Tong Guan gave the order in a hurry, not stable enough, but among them, the former generals, which one of them is not greedy for merit, and the Liao people who can eat thousands of people in the Shengjie army, everyone is eager to have two legs less, and they just want to share the credit, but they are giving their lives to it, but now how it ends!
