Chapter 237 Gao Shi declared war and died
The low horn is like the death knell of the Song army!
For the Liao army, it is like a song of celebration! The killing went into a frenzy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a brief period of confusion, the Song army began to fall into great confusion. The soldiers fled for their lives, but they had no direction, and in the dark of night they only knew instinctively fleeing south. Unfortunately, no matter how you escape, two legs are always no match for four. In the darkness of the night, yelling, insulting, crying, wailing, and cries for help came and went.
Countless Song troops were in a hurry, and in the chaos, they caused fires, one tent after another burned rapidly, and the wind swept up the flames and spread along the way. At dawn, the overwhelming fire engulfed the entire Song army camp.
And in the firelight, countless Liao army knights wantonly chased the Song army that was running wildly, and one killing after another occurred in every corner. No matter how hard the Song army pleaded when they were cornered, the Liao army slashed mercilessly, and then chased the next target.
There were also some small-scale sporadic battles, but there was no movement as soon as the superior Liao army rushed and surrounded, and after a while, the Song army had completely given up resistance and had to flee desperately.
Gao Shixuan didn't care about the situation behind him at all, he just stared at Xiao Gan's throat, and he only needed to slash through it with a knife, and his mission would be achieved. I have been in the army for almost 20 years, and I really can't figure it out when I got to where I am today.
With an army of 80,000, the enemy had no more than seven or eight thousand cavalry at best, and he had already stopped half of them. As long as Liu Guangshi answered him behind his back, he dragged Xiao Gan to death, but what he was waiting for was actually the clarion call to withdraw his troops.
In an instant, Gao Shixuan finally understood why the Song Dynasty had to pay the annual tribute to the Liao State. Because from top to bottom, almost no one is seriously preparing for a war, and no one really thinks that they can fight the Liao State.
Such a dying Liao State, such a bluffing little trick, actually scared away an army of 80,000!
Gao Shixuan was extremely angry, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Gao Shixuan wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and the white hair on his temples looked even more crystalline. "As long as there are Han people for one day, this Yanyun is from the Great Song Dynasty after all, otherwise it will be endless."
Xiao Gan rode the mount and said, "The Great Liao has been in the wind and clouds for two hundred years, the territory is thousands of miles, and a hundred countries have surrendered." Even if it is difficult at home and abroad, it is not something that you weak rats of the Southern Dynasty can offend. ā
"Those who commit Da Liao will be punished even if they are far away!" Xiao Gan aggravated his tone and said, "The subordinates in your camp have already escaped cleanly, why haven't you escaped?" ā
Gao Shixuan calmed down and made a decision.
The battalion was scattered, and he was clearly alone. More than 500 cavalry were surrounded by more than a thousand Khitan cavalry, and the result was already doomed, so there was nothing to think about. The clay pot is not broken from the wellhead, and the general will inevitably die in front of the battle, and now there is only a death battle to repay the favor of the officials and the countrymen.
"Since Gao is here, he doesn't plan to go back, you ask me if the gun in my hand is willing to escape! All ready, rush! ā
Faced with more than twice the number of troops, Gao Shixuan still launched a charge.
Five hundred, in five rows, in a column of one hundred. These are Gao Shixuan's subordinates or personal guards, and they have been favored by Gao Shixuan for many years. Now that he is in the place of death, he just has to return his life to the high general.
Gao Shixuan was high-headed and powerful, and the impact was in front, and these five hundred Song troops who were still fighting at the end had formed a mourning spirit. Fighting to the death, not afraid of death, vividly embodied, this thousand Khitan troops actually have some fearful intentions.
How could Xiao Gan let this kind of thing happen, it's almost over, and he can still let Gao Shixuan publicize it? Wave your hand down, "Arrow!" ā
The Khitan people are skilled in bows and horses, and the level of bow making by the master craftsmen of the Liao army is not inferior to the Song Dynasty. It can be said that the cavalry and archery skills of the Liao army are innate talents, much stronger than those of the Song Dynasty. A round of arrows fell, and Gao Shixuan lost more than a hundred lives.
Gao Shixuan saw through the gap in the mask that his horse had been hit by several arrows. After all, he was a key target, so he attracted most of the arrows, but fortunately they were blocked by his own high-carbon armor, and only one arrow was more tricky and shot into the ankle. There was already some numbness due to the severe pain.
Suppressing the pain, Gao Shixuan and his subordinates rushed head-on into the queue of the Liao army. The two teams were on board, and the cavalry battle was simple and straightforward without any fancy moves. There was a burst of swords and shadows, and each of them lost seventy or eighty lives before they separated and regrouped.
Gao Shixuan turned the horse's head with the soldiers, and there were only 300 people, while the Liao army still had more than 900 people, the comparison was too great. "Brothers, well done, the Khitan dog is not three-headed and six-armed, and labor and management killed the two of them. Do you have any seeds, and then rush at my mother? ā
"How dare you dare, we are not those soft-footed eggs, where will you go, we will follow you!"
Xiao Gan nodded, Gao Shixuan is still indomitable, worthy of being a battle-hardened general. Since he is a warrior, let's satisfy his desire to fight in the end. "Five-layer queue, impact!" Xiao Gan led a large group of Liao cavalry to pounce on the Song army opposite.
If everyone in the Song army wants to pass through the formation, they must face the obstruction of five Khitan people, and the difficulty can be imagined with one enemy and five.
Seeing the Liao army start, Gao Shixuan waved his long knife, "Kill him five this time!" He rushed up again. If it weren't for this armor, I would have died several times tonight.
Seeing that the east was gradually brightening up, Gao Shixuan suddenly wanted to see the sunrise, and the red morning sun should be beautiful. I didn't care about it before, but now I suddenly want to see this kind of scene. This is probably my last wish! Gao Shixuan smiled bitterly.
The closer he got, the closer he got, Gao Shixuan's long knife was not chopping left and right, but dragging along with the trend. This is more energy-saving, and the opponent will not be too defensive.
The wind of swords and guns, the shattering and scraping of armor, the dull fall of one soldier after another, and the neighing of war horses, were intertwined.
Gao Shixuan's heart was blank, and he repeatedly attacked, cut down five Khitans, and finally came out of the battle. However, I already felt panting, fatigue, and several wounds on my body, especially a blow to my left arm, and my left hand was completely unconscious.
And Xiao Gan did not show weakness, and slashed at least three Song soldiers, and the blood beads on the sword slipped down the blade of the sword drop by drop.
The scattered Song army rushed out of the thick Liao army formation. This is the last personal guard who persevered under the five-layer siege of the Liao army. Gao Shixuan's eyes swept over, and there were only more than forty people left, and they were all scarred.
Gao Shixuan asked, "Gao wants to see the rising sun at this moment, and it is said that before dawn is the darkest, if it is true, there is still the strength to rush with me again!" More than forty horses automatically gathered beside Gao Shixuan, and the Khitan on the opposite side organized another five rows of horse teams, and this time there would be no more lucky Song army.
"Towards the rising sun, we went! Haha~" Gao Shixuan and his guards laughed while riding their horses.
Xiao Gan put down his mask, fortunately, there are still bloody people in the Southern Dynasty army, I hope you can understand that the Jurchens are the mortal enemies of our two countries, don't be confused anymore. Gao Shixuan, go with peace of mind, I will give you the honor that a warrior deserves, "Kill!" ā
When Gao Shixuan's head flew high, the bright red morning sun pierced the clouds, shining on this tragic battlefield.
"It's so beautiful!" (To be continued.) )
