Chapter 151: The Turmoil of the He Clan (33)
Chapter 151: The Turmoil of the He Clan (33)
The Liao army roared and rushed up the gentle slope, the momentum was pressing, but fortunately, the impact of the Liao army weakened by the gentle slope, and the speed of the Liao army's impact slowed down.
The Liao army looked at the Zhao army that rushed to the halfway slope, and the Zhao army on the gentle slope rolled down a pile of log rolling stones. The log rolling stones poured down, and the Liao army was caught off guard, and the war horses of the Liao army were constantly hit by the wood and stones and fell off the war horses. The Liao army, who had fallen off their horses, screamed and wailed in horror, and was crushed into a pile of meat sauce by the rolling logs and stones.
The Zhao army resisted stubbornly, and the Liao army saw that there was no hope of breaking through, so they obediently retreated and no longer continued to make senseless sacrifices.
"You can't fight like this anymore, all retreat, all retreat!"
Wan Yan Fu Shen roared wildly, the blood of the warriors of the Great Liao Empire could not be wasted in such vain, Wan Yan Fu Shen looked at one after another Liao soldiers falling to death under the round log rolling stones, and felt extremely distressed.
The Liao army has never lacked blood and bravery, and after the first batch of Liao soldiers who charged retreated, the follow-up Liao army had to make up for it and continue to charge and break through. Wan Yan Fu cautiously stopped the second group of Liao troops who were about to charge, and more than half of the Liao troops who charged in the first batch were killed, which was beyond the range of casualties that the Liao army could bear. This method of breaking through is too stupid and too costly, even if the Liao army succeeds in breaking through in the end, the price of breaking through is not something that the Liao army can bear.
"Array!"
After Yu Yansong burst into a shout, hundreds of personal soldiers around Yu Yansong shouted at the same time to repeat Yu Yansong's order, conveying this order in the chaotic battlefield.
After hearing the order, the private soldiers of the Yu nationality skillfully set up a formation. The Liao army had war horses and could not break through the encirclement, and was beaten by the Zhao army. The private soldiers of the Yu clan, who were mainly foot soldiers, would naturally not be stupid enough to forcibly attack the encirclement of the Zhao army.
After Yu Yansong's order was issued, the private soldiers of the Yu clan passed on the word of mouth, constantly shouting the word "array", in order to convey the order, and came to strengthen their courage.
In the midst of a roar, the private soldiers of the Yu clan gradually gathered and formed a human wall, according to the weapons they held, the shield hand in front and the sharpshooter in the back, and set up a formation.
"Lord Wang, go to the middle of the military formation to command the battle!" Yu Yansong approached Wanyan Fushen under the protection of his own soldiers, and asked Wanyan Fushen to come to the middle of the military formation to take command.
The soldiers on the left and right of Wan Yan Fushen held up a large shield covered with cowhide to protect Wan Yan Fushen and dodge the arrows thrown from the gentle slope. The huge cowhide shield is like a magnet for dense arrows.
"Let's go! Hide behind the foot soldiers! "The military formation lined up by the private soldiers of the Yu clan seems to have given Wan Yan Fushen a booster. You can't risk death to break through, and now you can at least form a formation to protect yourself and avoid the edge of the Zhao army. Reduce casualties.
The Yu private soldiers built two embankments under the gentle slopes on both sides, and the Liao army retreated and took refuge in the middle of this embankment.
After a distance of buffering, the round wooden rolling stone arrived in front of the Yu shield soldiers, and it was already the end of the strong crossbow, and there was no substantial threat to the Liao soldiers.
"Don't put the log rolling stones, it's useless, the Liao army has retreated." Wu Tingzhen beckoned to stop the Wu soldiers who were about to continue to put down the log rolling stones.
In wartime, wood and stone are important strategic materials, and the limited materials cannot be wasted in such vain.
The Wu soldiers stopped casting the log rolling stones, and only the gunners, bed crossbowmen, and crossbowmen continued to cast cannonballs and arrows against the Liao army below the gentle slope.
"The Liao army is really ruthless." Wu Zhenfei stared blankly at the pool of bright red blood on the gentle slope, and the dead Liao army and the war horses of the Liao army lay down in a large area.
Wu Zhenfei had palpitations, if there was no gentle slope to cushion the impact of the cavalry of the Liao army, but to engage the Liao army on flat ground, at this moment, their encirclement had already been torn and shattered by the iron cavalry of the Liao army. The Liao army's field combat capability is by no means false.
", how can you defeat most of Liaodong if you are not ruthless enough." Wu Zhenwu took over the conversation.
"How many arrows do we have available?" Wu Tingzhen turned his head sideways and asked the treasurer in charge of the military supplies.
The treasurer replied, "More than half of the arrows have been used, and there are about 100,000 arrows left." ”
The treasurer reported the number of remaining arrows, in the era of cold weapons, arrows were the largest consumables, far from the rear here, arrows would not be replenished in a short period of time, consumables such as arrows must be carefully calculated and saved. Get the most out of your arrows.
The Liao army has stopped charging and formed a formation to protect itself, and the Yu private army is wearing shields in front of the formation and on the head of the Liao army, and the threat of arrows to the Liao army is no longer large, and throwing arrows at this time is tantamount to a waste. Wu Tingzhen ordered all the crossbowmen to stop firing, leaving only the gunners and bed crossbowmen to continue to design against the Liao army.
No matter how thick the shield was, it could not withstand a spear weighing several catties and the thickness of a baby's arm, and the artillery and bed crossbows were still a threat to the Liao army.
The Liao army stabilized its foothold, and the attack and suppression of the Liao army by the Wu private soldiers gradually eased, and the stunned Liao army was relieved and quickly recovered.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates are willing to lead the warriors of the Yu clan to charge and fight a bloody road for my Great Liao Army!" Yu Yansong stubbornly asked.
The first fierce component of the Liao army left a lot of casualties, and after relieving its breath, it was natural to charge again and break out of the encirclement, and it was impossible to shrink down on this narrow road and wait for death. Of course, the first charge was issued by the cautious Liao army iron cavalry, and the second charge could not continue to let the Liao army knights charge ahead, in order not to leave a tongue in the future, Yu Yansong might as well consciously relieve the charging buddy, and win a reputation of loyalty and bravery.
"The King of Beiliang is loyal and brave, and after the war, the king personally asked for credit for the King of Beiliang in front of the Great Khan!" Wan Yan Fushen deeply praised Yu Yansong's move. Yu Yansong took the lead in breaking through the siege, he would be distressed if he died the soldiers of the Manshu tribe, the Manshu tribe had few mouths, and if one died, there would be one less, and it would be difficult to replenish it. And the most important thing for the Han people is Dingkou, how many people Yu Yansong died, and he will return to Liaoyang City to recruit again in the future.
Mother! After seeing Yan Fushen's face, Yu Yansong couldn't help but greet Yan Fushen's mother. Wanyan Fushen's purpose was also too naked, and he pretended to scramble for it, which made him feel better, but Wanyan Fushen's performance was so direct, which made Yu Yansong feel very blocked in his heart.
"Brothers of the old Yu family, come with me! Fight a bloody road, return to Liaoyang after the war to discuss meritorious deeds, and be merry and happy! ”
Yu Yansong personally took over the banner of the Yu clan and took the lead in charging forward with the banner of the word "Yu".
The head of the family, the dignity of the king of Beiliang, did not care, and personally charged ahead, the private soldiers of the Yu clan naturally did not have any complaints, and listened to Yu Yansong's orders honestly, and the slightly messy team tightened the weapons in their hands.
The embankment formed by the private soldiers of the Yu tribe moved slowly and pressed up the gentle slope. Behind the embankment, the Yu drummers beat the drumbeat of the charge. The private soldiers of the Yu nationality marched forward in an orderly manner to the beat of drums.
"Yu Sharpshooter Formation." Wu Tingzhen and Yu Yansong had fought together against the former Manshu army in the same trench for more than ten years, and they were more familiar with the Yu army's formation than the old rival Liao army. It's just that I never expected that the battle of the past would now use the tactics of fighting against the alien race against itself.
"There's going to be a tough fight." Wu Zhenwu rubbed his hands together and looked forward to the next fierce battle. (To be continued.) )
