Chapter Seventy-Nine: Breaking Out on a Rainy Night (Part I)

The pouring rain gradually subsided in the middle of the night, and thin rain foam floated in the air, symbolizing that it was still a rainy night.

He Tengxiao clamped the war horse tightly, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out. This time he will rush the camp again, unlike the last time he rushed the camp, this time he rushed the camp, he was going to rush out of the camp of the Liao army with thousands of weak Phoenix soldiers behind him. Except for Lin Xin, a few high-ranking military attachés in Phoenix City, who had mounts, the rest of the people were all foot soldiers. It is difficult to predict whether they can break through the encirclement of the Liao army, and the situation is like this, whether they can break through alive can only be left to fate.

After the gates were removed, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the ropes holding the drawbridge creaked. The moment the city gate opened, the people gathered around the city gate suddenly became nervous.

The night was so thick that I couldn't see the situation outside the city clearly, and I couldn't be sure if there was an ambush of the Liao army ahead. It's come to this, and now I can't take care of it so much. There is only one thought in everyone's hearts: break out! Breakthrough!

"Kill!" He Tengxiao's waist knife was raised high, and he suddenly galloped towards the east.

Behind him, thousands of Phoenix soldiers followed closely, like a surging tide, surging like the east. All of them quickened their pace and took big strides, for fear of running slowly and being left behind by the team.

"As expected by His Royal Highness! Zhao Jun really broke through tonight! ”

The Liao army camp not far away, the Liao army surrounding the east gate was extremely excited, lighting all the torches to meet the enemy, and sending messengers to gallop to the north gate to complete Yan Haiya's line to report that Yan Haiya's Zhao army had broken through.

Achiller enjoyed the reputation of a little god of war in the Liao army, and Achiller fought with the Zhao army every time to capture the flag, and his bravery made the Zhao army fearful. Achille's serious injuries dealt a great blow to the morale of the Liao army.

After Achiller was seriously wounded, the morale of the Liao army was weakened for a while. Wanyan Haiya's outstanding commander's talent was revealed at this time, and when he was an ordinary young general, he suddenly encountered the enemy army rushing into the camp, the general was seriously injured, and the morale was low, and it was inevitable that he would panic. Although Wanyan Haiya was young, he showed a composure, visited Achille in person, and judged with certainty that the defenders of Phoenix City would not defend Phoenix City, but would choose to break through. Calmly deploy troops to surround Phoenix City and organize the Zhao army in the city to break through.

The commander was so calm and unhurried, the Liao army quickly calmed down, and they were convinced that the success of the Zhao knights in charging the camp was just an accident, and it was their carelessness and negligence in taking precautions that made the Zhao knights succeed in charging the camp. Achiller was seriously wounded, but he was alive! No matter how brave the knights of the Zhao Army were, they couldn't kill the god of war of the Great Liao Army! What can Zhao Jun do to me!

A large campfire suddenly lit up in front, and under the light of the campfire, the figure of the Liao army was clearly visible, and the dense Liao army tightly surrounded a line of defense, like a long causeway, trying to block this crowd from rushing out of this line of defense.

Seeing the campfire of the Liao army, the Zhao army was suddenly shocked, the Liao army had already expected them to break through!

"He Qianhu! The Liao army has already set up a formation to intercept us, withdraw to the city or continue to break through? Lin Xin was a little undecided.

Since the Liao army had been prepared, the chances of a successful breakthrough were even smaller, and Lin Xin was worried that the entire army would be annihilated. Consider whether to retreat to the city and continue to hold on, and wait for the opportunity to break through again.

"Remove the bird!" He Tengxiao didn't care about Lin Xin's martial arts rank being one level higher than him, and scolded, "There is no turning back when you open the bow!" First in the withdrawal, thousands of people are not messed up! I'm afraid that when I return to the city, I will trample on each other and die, and there will be no less than a thousand! ”

As for the urine of the Great Zhao Zhenjun, He Tengxiao couldn't understand it anymore, in the first battle of Yingzhou, the former governor of Liaodong Gao Guang gave the order to retreat, and the situation instantly got out of control. More than 100,000 town soldiers scrambled to seize the road and fled, and there were as many as 20,000 Zhao soldiers who trampled to death. If the order to retreat is given and everyone has their own thoughts, the situation will only get worse. Now the only choice is to break through the Liao army's defense line and break through the siege in one go!

"Grandma's." Lin Xin also let go, and no longer hesitated, "The sons and daughters of Phoenix City rush with me!" ”

"Archers! Raise your two fingers! Shoot Zhao Jun! Shoot! The Liao army commanding the archers recorded the first flag, and a dense rain of arrows splashed on the Zhao army that broke through.

He Tengxiao raised his shield and lay on his side on horseback to avoid the rain of arrows of the Liao army. But the rain of arrows was so dense that three or five arrows still fell on him, and although he was wearing chain mail to block the arrows, the arrows did not penetrate the flesh. However, the archers of the Liao army were powerful, and the arrows still made people feel painful when they hit their bodies.

Fifty-one knights of Pingshan Fort had rich experience in dodging the arrows of the Liao army, and were well-equipped, after the first wave of arrows, only two knights fell from the arrows, and one of the knights was shot on a war horse, and the war horse fell from his horse. After the knight fell from his horse, he rolled on the ground and stood up, holding his shield and continuing to break through.

The town army in Phoenix City was not so lucky, except for a few town troops with shields who barely blocked the first wave of arrows, the rest could only watch as the rain of arrows swishing in the sky like locusts shot at them, waving the weapons in their hands to block the arrows. The clatter of knives and guns blocking arrows, the sound of arrows entering flesh, and the screams in the middle, muffled snorts rose one after another in the crowd. It's just that the night is dark, and I don't know how many lives have been killed by this rain of arrows.

"Raise your fingers! Put! ”

Another rain of arrows from the Liao army came.

This time, the Zhao army that broke through was closer to the Liao army, and the Liao archers exerted greater power. The Zhao army's breakthrough team was densely formed, and it was difficult to dodge the bows and arrows of the Liao army.

An arrow shot into He Tengxiao's arm, He Tengxiao snorted in a dull voice, Ninja Teng gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow, at this time, a sharp arrow roared and flew head-on, shooting at He Tengxiao's helmet, and He Tengxiao's head buzzed.

"Senho-sama!" Seeing this, Chang Qing and Zhou Fuxing hurriedly blocked in front of He Tengxiao, holding a shield in one hand and blocking arrows with a knife in the other.

After two rounds of arrows, the Zhao army suffered heavy casualties, but after all, the Liao army's defense line was over, and the Liao army's archers had no place to use.

The archers of the Liao army retreated, and the shieldmen, pikemen, and Pu swordsmen behind them immediately made up for the construction of a solid defense line to organize the Zhao army to break through.

The iron cavalry of the Liao army, which had been dormant on both flanks of the defense line for a long time, rushed out here and smashed into the Zhao army. Suddenly, the sound of killing was loud, and the snow bright beard knife slashed at the weak Phoenix City soldiers, and a piece of flying blood splashed down with a knife.

"Formation! Formation! Lin Xin slashed to death a Liao army that pounced on him, and a stream of warm liquid splashed on his face, but Lin Xin seemed to be unaware, just hissed and roared, "Resist the enemy in formation!" ”

Only then did the town army in Phoenix City react and hastily formed a formation to resist the Liao cavalry.

"Thorn!"

"Close!"

"Thorn!"

"Close!"

An order sounded, and one after another Liao soldiers were stabbed to death by spears. Although the Liao army is covered with chain mail inside, the chain mail is most afraid of close-range stabbing attacks, and the protection effect against spear stabbing is not good.

The original intention of the Liao cavalry was to scatter and slaughter the Zhao army in a burst of killing, but the range of the Liao army's campfire was limited, and under the cover of the deep night, the Liao army could not judge the number of people who broke through the Zhao army, and rashly rushed into the torrent of the Zhao army. Soon, the knights of the Liao army regretted that the number of the Zhao army was no less than 5,000, and they fell into the quagmire of fierce battle with the Zhao army and could not extricate themselves, and were entangled by the Zhao army, and the advantages of the cavalry could not be brought into play.

"Archer, raise your three fingers!" Liao Junlu, who commanded the archers of the Liao army, saw that the iron cavalry of the Liao army was entangled by the foot soldiers of the Zhao army and could not extricate himself, so he ordered the archers to support the iron cavalry of the Liao army and shoot the Zhao army.

A rapid rain of arrows rained down on the crowd.

At this moment, a heavy sound of horses' hooves sounded. The Liao army, which was defending the other three gates, came to the east gate to support. The three hundred heavily armored iron cavalry led by Wanyan Haiya were like a group of steel beasts, rushing towards the Zhao army.

Zhao Jun's form took a sharp turn for the worse
