Chapter 255: Iron Horse Glacier (4)
Unless the whole army has been beaten to the ground, but now the Liao soldiers have been blocked at the last camp in front of the Chinese army's camp, and the two wings have also begun to respond here, and the Huanqing army is still fighting as a whole, and the army is completely organized.
Until now, everyone has no other thoughts, just to compete with Liao Gou to see how much blood they still have, and how many more decisive impacts they can make!
Seeing that the morale of his subordinates did not fall, Wang De smiled with satisfaction, and then retreated from the gap in the camp, and the Song soldiers were busy seizing the little time before the next attack of the Liao people, and hurriedly repaired the gap in the camp, as much as they could, as much as they could.
At this time, Wang De felt that there was no pain in his body, and he didn't know how many of the internal injuries on his body, and the thick family heirloom willow leaf armor, coupled with a layer of soft armor inside, had been killed to tatters.
He couldn't support it a little, but at this moment, it was the time for the battalion officers to see his figure clearly, and he couldn't sit down, so he could only grab the shoulder of a personal guard, gasp for two breaths, and cough up a mouthful of bloody sputum.
The guards around him quietly supported him: "General, do you want to retreat and rest?" ”
Wang De shook his head, looked back at Liu Yanqing's Chinese army camp behind him, and saw that Liu Yanqing's banner was still standing there quietly.
Although the two wings were pinned down and did not dare to go out of the village to support the field during the day, Liu Yanqing still took advantage of the gap between the Liao people's offensive to continuously draw troops and horses from the two wings to join the middle battlefield.
Temporary dispatch was originally a test of the general's skills, not to mention that under the comprehensive suppression of the Liao army, the slightest carelessness may shake the defense system somewhere.
But Liu Yanqing did it extremely skillfully and cautiously. It continuously provided Wang De with a new force to replenish the army, stabilized the defense system of the two flanks, and maintained flank pressure on the deep Liao army.
With Liu Yanqing commanding Ruoding in the back to stabilize the situation, Wang De was able to let go of his hands and feet and fight desperately in front, and only then did he support himself until now under the crazy offensive of the Liao.
Looking at Liu Yanqing's steady banner in the night, Wang De sighed in his heart: "Taiwei Liu's ability is back!" Captain. Captain, why didn't you pick up this skill on the battle formation earlier? Otherwise, why today? It's a pity General Hu Yanzhuo, it's a pity that so many brothers in our Huanqing Army followed you to fight thousands of miles! Tai Lieutenant, you must not retreat, as long as you are stable, how can we be Xiao Gan for you, Liao Dog, there is not much strength left! ”
Xiao Gan still stood under his banner. There were not many generals gathered behind him, and these generals were sent out one by one, leading the troops to either pounce head-on, or to the flanks to support them, resisting the Song army that was desperately killing.
After a short time, these generals sent out were either killed in battle. Or the seriously wounded were carried down, and the survivors puffed up their last breath and strength to resist the impact of the Liao offensive at the front. It's close to being depleted clean.
From daytime to late at night, no matter how high the morale of the Liao army is, after all, people are not iron-clad, and after a fight, the energy consumption of people is ten times and a hundred times that of usual. Although there is dry food and water, even if the Liao army takes turns to fill its stomach in the battle array.
But until now, the soldiers who have retreated have also staggered one by one, falling to the ground, and they can't pull up. Some people even made a heavy snoring sound in the pile of corpses, and by now, people have become numb, and after the adrenal hormones have subsided, it is the deepest exhaustion.
Although the Liao army had an advantage of nearly 40,000 against the 30,000 Huanqing army, as an attacking party, it was even cheaper to be able to concentrate its forces for a surprise attack, but the Song army was known for its good defense, and it was really a matter of life in exchange for its life, and the casualties were twice as high as those of the Song Huanqing army.
And the sacrifice and consumption, are the most brave soldiers, can participate in the attack on the Song army camp, not just pull a soldier up, against the Song army poured arrow rain and a variety of garrison equipment, can wear heavy armor to run forward, and the Song army face to face to do hand-to-hand combat, desperate to fight a bloody way, can only be the most elite in the army of the armor.
Fill in until now, the elite Liao army that can do this kind of assault has withered to the point that it is not visible, and more than half of the casualties are killed, although the dozen or so elite Liao army flags are still standing there hunting and turning, but there are very few elite Liao soldiers who can stand up straight under the banner and wait for the next attack!
Even the hundred-and-ten-faced drums that had been roaring in the middle of the night, and now the sound of the golden drums had become weak, and the sound of battlefield battles that had fallen a little silent came from afar, and the dozens of Liao generals who had retreated were all kneeling in a row in front of Xiao Gan with flesh and blood, and they were all speechless.
Some of them were so badly injured that they knelt there, and blood was still sprinkling oil from the cracks in the nail leaves, and their bodies were trembling, as if they could fall to the ground at any moment.
A Liao general, whose status seems to be only under Xiao Gan, knelt on one knee with his sword in his hand, and his tone seemed to be as sad as blood: "King, retreat, attack again tomorrow, attack again tomorrow!" None of the boys are done! These elite armorers are all dead, who will we rely on to continue the bloody battle with the Song people in the future? Retreat and take a breath to stabilize our camp, the Song people can't capture Yanjing! ”
Xiao Gan just had a cold face, looked at the Liao general, and said coldly: "I can't break Liu Yanqing tonight, do we have a future?" ”
"Then after fighting these children, we will also have no future!" The Liao general seemed to be out of the way, and shouted back at Xiao Gan loudly.
Facing the roar of the Liao general, Xiao Gan was not angry, and said lightly: "If a certain family is here, there is a big Liao." "The Liao general was born in Khitan, and his identity is also quite honorable, and the two leather armies of the Flying Tiger and Flying Bear are led by him, and he is sad at this time. You must know that the several pro-guard leather armies of the Liao people that have been pieced together and rebuilt are all composed of the sons and daughters of Xun Qi who have guarded the south of the Liao State for generations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the last flesh and blood of the Khitan people in the Great Liao Empire.
Hearing Xiao Gan's words, the Liao general roared regardless of his protest: "With King Xiao here, I'm afraid that only the country of Xi people is there!" If Dashi Linya was here, he would never hurt our Khitan disciples like this! ”
He stood up violently, and pointed at the Song military camp opposite: "What if you take down the camp in front of you and rush to Liu Yanqing's Chinese army camp?" There are also elite soldiers and strong generals directly led by Liu Yanqing, as well as a strong Chinese army battalion! King Xiao, do we still have the strength to attack again? Do we still have so much flesh and blood to fill? The king, the king, if you really think about the great Liao, leave some blood for us Khitans! ”
At this time, almost the Liao people also have the idea of giving up, for no other reason, so desperate and hard-hitting, the casualties are really heavy, in this troubled era, even though everyone is a little numb to death, but the appearance of 10,000 corpses in front of them is also chilling.
