Chapter 230: Picturesque Country (9)
Early in the morning, the horn of the Liao camp rang non-stop, from morning to night, it seemed that there were large groups of Liao troops coming, they were densely camped around the perimeter, around the vicinity of the Song army camp, surrounded by three layers inside and three outside.
There was still no war that day, but it was obvious that the Liao people had made up their minds to destroy the Song military headquarters in one drum, and the intelligence was obvious, and there were large groups of Liao people gathered in the east, north, and south of the Song military camp, and only the west would be less.
This is not Xiao Gan's negligence, but the intention is more sinister, using the tactics of encircling three queyi, which seems to leave a way for the Song army to escape westward, so that the whole army will have the heart to survive, thereby weakening the will to fight to the death.
Seed Master Dao, Yang Ling and others can be sure that there must be a large number of ambushes in the west direction, even if there are no ambushes, as long as the Song army retreats and flees, the whole army has no fighting spirit, and the Liao people are chasing after each other in three ways, and the Song army can escape, there will definitely be no one in ten.
One day on this day, Yang Ling, Seed Master Dao and others all looked at the Liao camp, estimating the Liao soldiers and horses that continued to arrive, Yang Ling estimated that the Liao army at this time was at least twice as many as in history, Yang Ling sneered: "Either despise it incomparably, or pay too much attention to it, Xiao Gan and others are not invincible."
It was a sunny day and the weather was good, but the wind was obviously stronger than yesterday, and the cold wind whistled from time to time, blowing the flag and the clothes to hunt.
The horn of the Liao camp sounded again, and I saw the dense men and horses of each camp coming out, and finally formed a dense and unventilated piece, on the distant horizon, from three directions, black pressure poured towards the Song army camp.
The Liao people were finally going to war, and all the people exhaled, and the cultivator came to the middle of the outer position, facing the camp for several times, and bowed to all the soldiers. Encouraging loudly, he said loudly: "I and the soldiers, we will share the kindness of the court, and we will not die, and we will not live!" ”
Everyone shouted with joy, and Yang Ling shouted: "Swear to follow the old breed to the death." Kill the Liao people without leaving a piece of armor! ”
The dense gun forest was erected, from the Seed Master Dao to Yang Ling to every ordinary soldier, all the soldiers did not have the slightest fear at this moment.
The Liao people were also wearing fine iron plate armor, wrapped in the tide-like Liao army formation, rolling towards the Song camp opposite.
The Liao army rode densely and densely pressing, and the black number was rolling with the wind, and they were getting closer and closer, five miles. Four miles, three miles, two miles.
At two miles, the Liao army camp with tides on three sides stopped, the horn sounded, their formation separated, and countless dense shield carts pushed out.
Among those shield carts, there are rows in front. It's all that kind of well-made shield cart, with wheels. There are baffles, wrapped in thick cowhide, splashed with water, and the shield carts behind are tied together with thick wood to become rough wooden shields.
The dense Liao army auxiliaries followed and pushed layers of shield carts and wooden shields up. Behind them, followed by the black-pressed archers. Then followed by dense layers of heavy armor of each banner, holding a large shield, holding a heavy short weapon in his right hand, and finally countless Liao troops riding horses on their hips. They came up on three sides, and for the time being they couldn't tell which side they were attacking.
The sergeants of the Song army were waiting for the battle, looking at the dense layers of Liao army shield vehicles, it was conceivable that there would be a fierce battle in Huizhan, and everyone clenched the weapons in their hands.
The Liao army traveled another half a mile, like a huge rich, a burst of stone bullets whistling, towards the Song army camp, this distance, An only needs to raise high and play a round.
In the whistling, one after another boulders fell, in the flank, a team of nearly 3,000 people lined up neatly, and the five hundred cavalry in front of the formation were motionless as if they were fixed, and the horse in front was Han Shizhong of the Shence Army.
At this time, when the Liao people arrived at the camp, Han Shizhong's department was directly from the camp that was smashed open by the boulder, and the Liao people in front of him were all holding shields and pushing the shield carts.
Where Xiao Gan was, he had already seen Han Shizhong who was the first to kill, and the horse lance in Han Shizhong's hand was as flexible as a snake, churning up and down, as if he had entered a no-man's land for a while.
Xiao Gan pointed from afar, "This tiger will also!" has been eight catties in the room, and this king ordered you to lead three thousand elites to take this off the delirium. ”
Eight catties of the room turned the iron rod horizontally, and the three thousand people rushed towards the place where Han Shizhong and the others were like arrows off the string, although they did not make the slightest sound, but the silent momentum was more terrifying than the shouting that shook the sky.
As soon as this group of people and horses rushed into the Song army, it caused great casualties, and Wu Jue beside Han Shizhong said, "Han Dutou, the Liao people in this army are all elites, and it is unwise to touch them hard, if they are involved here, I am afraid we will all still be here." ”
Han Shizhong felt that Wu Jue's judgment should be good, the combat effectiveness of those Liao troops was more than one grade higher than the combat effectiveness of the previous battalion, and the Liao people had no other army except for the Xi tribe army in Xiao Gan's hands and Yelu Dashi's leather room army that could have such strong combat effectiveness.
"Come on, protect Wu Jue and command to retreat first." Han Shizhong felt more and more dangerous, if he was entangled by this Liao army with superior troops, he was afraid that no one would be able to survive except himself, and no one would know where he was under the chaos at that time, so it was better to take advantage of the time to protect Wu Jue and withdraw.
Although Wu Jue also has some force, but it is still a little less hot than fighting Han, Wu Jue focuses more on the viciousness of strategic vision, listening to Han Shizhong's orders, the sergeant next to him said: "Han Dutou rest assured, the enemy has not yet been encircled, we will immediately protect Commander Wu." ”
At this time, Han Shizhong's Shence army had already suffered more than 800 casualties, "Hold on, and retreat behind me." Han Shizhong shouted, and the horse lance in his hand attacked several enemy soldiers in succession, and contained the enemy's offensive by a few points.
Seeing that Han Shizhong alone withstood the enemy's attack, the morale of the Shence Army recovered a lot, and they began to form a formation to resist the enemy's attack.
Han Shizhong rode a horse, responding back and forth in front of the formation, and there were no less than dozens of Liao troops who died under his horse lance in a few breaths, and the Liao army failed to push further, and the morale of the Shence army suddenly rose, shouting, "Han Shizhong Han Dutou is really brave!" ”
"Han Shizhong? Sure enough, the hero is good. Seeing that Han Shizhong was so brave, a general who came out of the Liao army looked at Han Shizhong with interest.
Han Shizhong turned his head to look, and saw that the general was in his forties, wearing a battle robe, covered with protective armor, indescribable heroism, and then looked at his face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and a dignified appearance, knowing that this person was by no means a nameless person, he asked: "It is Han Shizhong, who are you?" ”
"Da Liao Xi Army, eight catties in the room." As soon as these words came out, he stepped forward, and the Liao army automatically made way for him. (To be continued......)
