Chapter 150: The Turmoil of the He Clan (32)
Chapter 150: The Turmoil of the He Clan (32)
The thin military robes could not stop the sharp arrows, which pierced the body and hit the vital point, and in the desolate wilderness, the hope of survival was almost equal to zero.
The soldiers of the Wu nationality have endured this temptation of the Liao army with amazing endurance, the deceased closed their eyes forever, and the wounded endured the pain and covered their voices, for fear of making a little noise to alarm the Liao army.
After the Liao army found nothing unusual, they galloped back into the ranks. After watching the Liao army return from afar, the wounded soldier hummed out the stiffness that he had endured for a long time, and felt a burst of happiness.
Wu Zhenwu quietly crawled to the side of several soldiers who were hit by arrows, and three of them were shot and killed on the spot. Wu Zhenwu checked the arrows of the three soldiers, shook his head, and sighed lightly, expressing his regret for his life.
The armor of the Wu clan is extremely lacking, if these soldiers can be like the Wu clan in their heyday, ordinary soldiers can do a pair of armor with their hands, these tentative arrows will not hurt a few people at all, let alone kill them.
It's a pity that now the soldiers of the Wu clan can only use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's sharp arrows. Wu Zhenwu closed the eyes of a soldier, these soldiers were all good soldiers.
Wu Zhenwu looked at the ranks of the Liao army, his eyes were angry, it was hatred, and the scene of the Liao army breaking through Liaoyang and massacring the city seemed to be vivid, right in front of him. Liao army, I will let you return all this, this is the thought of all the Wu soldiers now.
"Zhao Ren is cunning, this time he didn't try to get out of the way, so Zhao Jun was lucky to escape." After being attacked in the camp early in the morning and burning down the powder magazine, Yu Yansong put away his contempt for Zhao Jun, a little less ambitious and a little more cautious than before the expedition, "Why don't you go up and set a fire and burn the gentle slopes on both sides, so that Zhao Jun has nowhere to hide?" ”
Yu Yansong advocated very thoroughly, a fire to burn the gentle slopes on both sides clean, the autumn grass and trees are withered, the weather is dry, and the slightest spark everywhere may form a prairie fire. A fire burned over, not to mention a human, even a mouse may not be able to hide.
Wan Yan looked at the yellow who couldn't see the end at a glance, and shook his head: "Just put down the fire like this, the fire can't be controlled, and the army is also escorting the grain and grass and military supplies, if we burn the grain and grass and military supplies, our losses will be great." The gains outweigh the losses, and this fire is still better not to be put out. ”
Wan Yan didn't want to delay too much time on this. Let Yu Yansong be the deputy commander of the Southern Army of the Great Liao Expedition, and the participation of the Yu private soldiers in this southern expedition is the meaning of the Liao Emperor Wanyan Shengcong, and it is also the signal that Wanyan Shengcong intends to release to the outside world, and the Liao State begins to attach importance to and reuse the Han people.
Wan Yan Shengcong's wishes, Wan Yan Fushen did not dare to disobey it, but Wan Yan Fushen did not like to fight with Han soldiers in his heart. Take this cooperation with Yu Yansong as an example, Wanyan Fushen is not happy.
First of all, the habits of the Manshu and Han people were incompatible, and it was difficult to integrate into one place, and the military camps of the Liao army and the Yu private soldiers were clearly distinguished. Then there is the lack of experience in cavalry and infantry coordination in Liao, the Liao State started with cavalry and archery, all the warriors of the Manshu tribe are born knights, all the armies of the Manshu tribe are cavalry, the Liao State has never known what the infantry and cavalry coordination is, and in terms of infantry and cavalry coordination, the Liao army has not done as well as the Zhao army. In Wanyan Fushen's view, he marched south with Yu Yansong's Yu private soldiers, and Yu Yansong's Yu private soldiers dragged him back, if it wasn't for the 20,000 Yu private soldiers, Wanyan Fushen would have already arrived in Gaizhou City by now.
Although the 50,000 horses of the Southern Army of the Great Liao Expedition are not small, the discord between the soldiers and soldiers will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the Liao army. To be honest, Wan Yan Fushen was not satisfied with the arrangements for this southern expedition.
Wan Yan Fushen has no other ideas now, his idea is to rush to Gaizhou as soon as possible and finish this battle as soon as possible. He knew very well that the more the war dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for the Liao army, and only when the civil strife of the He people subsided would it be able to start the war, what was the significance of such a war for the Liao army?
Wanyan Fushen did not take Yu Yansong's suggestion, Yu Yansong was somewhat displeased, because Wanyan Fushen was the commander and the backbone of the southern army, he knew very well that he and the 20,000 Yu soldiers were just the foil of the Liao army. Yu Yansong didn't say much, since the coach had spoken, and it was such a trivial matter, there was no need for Yu Yansong to be entangled with Wan Yanfu in this kind of matter.
"Raise the flag and move on!" Wan Yan Fushen ordered the flag to be raised and motioned for the team behind to follow.
After hastily reorganizing the ranks, the Liao army continued to advance.
"The artillery ship crossbow is ready first, the loading shell that should be loaded with shells, the crossbow arrow that should be loaded with crossbow arrows, is at my command."
During the short period of time when the Liao army hesitated, Wu Tingzhen was afraid that the Liao army would not be trapped, and if the Liao army did not succeed, his elaborate ambush would be in vain. After the Liao army started, Wu Tingzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Wu soldiers peeled off the withered grass that covered the artillery and bed crossbows, revealing a door and a well-made cannon crossbow. Loaded the artillery bed with ammunition and bolts on the artillery bed.
The ranks of the Liao army moved forward in a hurry, and soon entered the preset ambush circle.
Wu Tingzhen's blood is full of blood, and the blood that has been suppressed for a year is finally rekindled at this moment. Wu Tingzhen raised the waist knife in his hand as if it was a thousand pounds, and after raising the waist knife, it was not until most of the Liao army had entered the preset ambush circle that Wu Tingzhen's waist knife slashed down.
The gunner got the order and ignited the already filled artillery. The ignited cannon fuses hissed, burning shorter and shorter until they finally drilled into the hole.
The soldiers near the artillery lay on the grass and covered their ears tightly to avoid being hurt by the loud noise of the artillery.
The huge roar of artillery firing on both sides of the gentle slope is deafening, and it has to be said that the lethality of artillery in this era is not great, but the deterrent power should not be underestimated. The thunderous cannon sound greatly shocked the Liao army.
"There's an ambush!"
Wan Yan Fu Shen panicked, and the sudden ambush caught him off guard. However, Wan Yan Fu was a general who had fought the camp, and soon ordered a counterattack, and the Liao army's troops were compressed on a narrow road terrain, which was very unfavorable for the Liao army.
At present, the best course of action is to break through the ambush circle of the Zhao army and disrupt the deployment of the Great Zhao ambush.
The sound of the cannon was followed by a dense rain of arrows pouring down from the sky. The sharp whistle of arrows overwhelmed the sky.
"Rush!"
The Liao army did not wait to be killed, as a division of tigers and wolves, even if it was faced with poverty, it would not be restrained, and chose to fight the trapped beasts. Of course, now the Liao army can't be said to be a battle of trapped beasts, at least the morale of the Liao army is still high, and if you want to eat a Liao army of 50,000 people, you need quite good teeth.
After Yan Fushen's order, the Liao knights shouted and rushed up the gentle slope with their horses, in a vain attempt to break through the encirclement of the Zhao army.
The soldiers of the Wu nationality who were ambushed on both sides of the gentle slope were also not far behind, relying on the advantage of terrain and location to counterattack the Liao army, and to suppress the Liao army on this narrow road.
