228. Lose courage

"Steady, steady!"

Tuo Junjing brandished his waist knife and shouted loudly, forcing the retreating Goryeo soldiers to turn around and go back to engage in the battle.

He knew that Li Ziqian was not familiar with military affairs, so after being attacked by the Song people's demon arts, the whole army fell into chaos and failed to restrain the troops in time, but among the strategists and generals around Li Ziqian, there were military experts.

As long as he can stabilize and block the offensive of the Song people, then Li Ziqian can gather some of his troops, even if he retreats a little, he can reorganize his drums. In this battle, they only suffered a small defeat, but not to make the situation out of control.

After this setback, perhaps Li Ziqian could take his advice and no longer pursue a quick war, but besiege Tamna and cut off the food and ordnance supplies of the Song people.

He had a good calculation, but just when his side was stable, at the other end, a big flag was raised.

The banner of the Khitan leather room army!

Yelubulu led the 1,000 Khitans and arrived at the battlefield in time!

They were originally confronting the natives, but according to Zhou Quan's deployment, as soon as the decisive battle on this side began, they had to withdraw immediately, ignore the natives at all, and directly return to the main battlefield of the division and attack the Koreans from the flank.

The natives also have horses, but how can they compare with the elite of the leather room army in terms of the number of horses and superb riding skills. Moreover, the Lord of the Satan had already made up his mind to preserve his strength, so when they arrived at the battlefield, the Turen had just pulled out of camp and was ready to follow.

The appearance of the Khitans brought greater panic to the Goryeo.

There were rumors before that there was a Khitan elite among the Song people, but neither Li Ziqian nor Tuo Junjing believed this. Liao and Song are old enemies, how can they join forces, and how can the Khitan elite serve the Song people, it must be a false rumor.

But now, they've seen it!

Before the Goryeo could respond, the Khitans had already broken through from the flank into the Tuojunjing formation.

Although Yelubulu was not a general, he was used to fighting, so as soon as he approached the battlefield, he realized that Tu Jungyong was the only organized Goryeo army.

As long as this force is defeated, the next step is to chase the dead and chase the north.

The sudden entry of the Khitans made Tuo Junjing roar angrily.

However, he understood that the tide was turning, so he did not turn back to fight the Khitans, nor did he try to stop the Song attack.

At this time, the only thing he could do was to withdraw.

With tears in his eyes, he had failed once before, and now he had failed again, and he knew that he would definitely not end well.

glanced hatefully at the hillside, the demon method used by the Song people there was the key to the defeat of Goryeo.

In the collapse of Tuojun Jing's department, Wuyang happened to meet Yeluboru, and the two snorted coldly at the same time, and then the two troops quickly separated.

Yeluburu saw the banner of the Goryeo army, and he pointed the iron rod at it: "Go and arrest the Goryeo officer!" ”

The Khitans had already held back their strength, and when they heard the words, they rushed over after him.

Wu Yang watched this cavalry gallop away, and snorted again, although he had a horse, he also abandoned the horse at this time, and the rest of the Song people were all on foot, so it was impossible to catch up with the Khitans.

"Let the Khitans go to grab the merit, let's continue, kill the Goryeo, don't let them line up!"

By this time, the artillery on the slope had stopped bombarding, because the Koreans had fled the artillery range.

Duan Tong wiped his sweat at this time, and looked at his companions, everyone was covered in smoke and patterns, but everyone's faces were full of excitement!

This is their first battle as artillerymen, no matter what they did before, Zhou Quan protected them well, for fear that they would make a mistake. For this reason, many companions have some strange words, if it weren't for Zhou Quan's prestige, they would have to bear a lot of pressure.

But after this battle, everything will be different!

"After I go back this time, let's see what Brother Ye Chu has to say!"

"Last time, he made a bet with me, saying that we can only make a sound, and this time we have to make him admit defeat!"

"It's a pity, we don't know when we can go back to Diqiu, otherwise we have to let him have a treat at Diqiu Restaurant!"

"Why go back to Diqiu, there is a restaurant in the Five Kingdoms City, I want to eat lobster!"

Everyone was gossiping, and it was hard to hide the excitement in their hearts, and Duan Tong was also in a general mood.

He thought of his sister, thought of the country bully who blew up and killed him, and thought of the first time he saw Zhou Quan.

Time flies, it's been nearly two years in the blink of an eye.

"Clean up your own affairs and cover the cannon jacket!" After fixing their minds, their task in this battle has been completed, and Duan Tong issued a new order.

The Goryeo Central Army, Li Ziqian with his personal guards, was running backwards desperately.

Because they had horses, they had already pulled the foot soldiers behind them far away, but Li Ziqian was still not at ease, and would look back in horror from time to time.

"Hexology...... Hex ......"

He muttered to himself, and the rumbling sound of shelling seemed to echo in his ears.

Not only him, but almost all the Goryeo officials and generals also lost their souls one by one. Before the decisive battle, no one expected such a result, they were originally full of confidence, only felt that victory could be captured, so they continued to fight for power.

But now, they only hate why they didn't stay in Kaijing.

"Pour ...... Poured, poured! ”

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, at this time everyone was terrified, even a little wind and grass could make them six gods without a master.

Looking back, it was the handsome flag that they threw down, and I don't know who cut it down and fell from mid-air.

It was impossible for tens of thousands of people to be huddled together, and the situation on the battlefield was chaotic, and although the various armies of the Goryeo were defeated due to the shelling, some of them could barely hold on.

But now that the banner fell, these barely maintained military formations immediately collapsed.

The situation was completely out of control, with the Khitans and Song people chasing after them, while the fleeing Goryeo people were all over the mountains and fields, like headless flies.

The clever ones threw their blades and knelt down to save them, and the stupid ones ran to the sea, or even jumped into the sea, as if they could swim hundreds of miles by sea and swim back to the peninsula.

When Lin Lingsu walked down from Yayue Mountain, as he expected before the war, blood fertilized the land, making the flowers and plants on this flat land even more charming.

"Ming Gong ......"

"Ming Gong!"

Zhou Quan was riding his horse and was about to move forward, when suddenly someone ran over and grabbed his reins.

It is Bai Xianfeng and Dong Changqing.

Both of their faces were red with excitement, they gasped, and then gave Zhou Quan a deep look: "Ming Gong, the two of us have taken it!" ”

They had also seen artillery before, but they didn't expect that just four artillery pieces would produce such a great power, and it can even be said that it would determine the success or failure of this battle!

After expressing his respect to Zhou Quan, Bai Xianfeng Huo Ran raised his head with blazing eyes: "The imperial court is conquest of the Western thieves, if it is in the Western Army, there is also this artillery ......"

"Then my head will be cut off." Zhou Quan said.

His response made Bai Xianfeng stunned.

"In addition to field warfare, another major role of artillery is siege. Mr. Ruizhi, after the Shangyuan Festival, I once presented the cuirass to the imperial court, but unfortunately, the official family was only interested in me going overseas to find Xianshan and ask for the elixir of life for him, but I was not interested in the cuirass at all...... With the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, if the Western Army is all steel armored, which other army in the world can compete with it, and even the Beijing Forbidden Army, whether it can compete with the Western Army is a question. If the Western Army had artillery, would the walls of the Beijing Division still be able to stop them? ”

Bai Xianfeng was stunned, and Dong Changqing was also stunned.

The two of them only thought about the power of the artillery, but they didn't think that Zhou Quan's dedication of the artillery would be a blessing or a curse for Zhou Quan personally.

"These thoughts are not mine, they belong to the official." Zhou Quan said slowly: "Even to equip the Western Army with plate armor, the officials are reluctant, do you think that artillery will become a sharp weapon in the hands of the Western Army, or a toy for the Beijing Forbidden Army?" ”

"Therefore, the greatest effect of my artillery sacrifice may be to replace the whip and roar when the official family is in court...... Mr. Ruizhi, Mr. Rubai, both of you have been in Taixue for a short time, so you should know this better than me. ”

"Ming Gong, if it is, what if the two of us tell the story of the artillery?" Bai Xianxian's face was a little distorted, and he suddenly asked.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, Lin Dao is here, and he will say that it is the credit of his five thunder jade calligraphy to summon the gods of the thunder department. At most, it is just to let the official family build a few more temples for the gods of the thunder department, and find a god to worship Zen from the beginning. ”

In fact, this may not be the case, no matter how stupid Zhao Ji is, he will not use a militaristic weapon like artillery. But Bai Xianfeng and Dong Changqing were not ordinary scholars, otherwise they would not have abandoned their identity as students and ran to Zhou Quan's hands to find something to do. They thought about the problem, different from ordinary scholars, and pondered for a while, Bai Xianfeng said dejectedly: "It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

If the Western Army could be equipped with such sharp weapons as artillery, then it would be much easier to attack Western Xia, and the casualties of the Western Army officers and soldiers would be much less.

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both things...... Alas, don't think so much about it now, just celebrate the victory. Zhou Quan sighed on the horse, and then waved goodbye to the two.

This decisive battle did not last long, and it was only an hour before and after, and the Koreans threw down thousands of corpses, nearly 20,000 prisoners, and most importantly, they had completely lost their courage.

Li Ziqian ran for ten miles, and when he heard the sound of shouting and killing behind him, he stopped. Looking at his side again, there are only more than 100 horses left, which makes him panic, if the Song people chase after him, only relying on the more than 100 horses with exhausted leather, how can he get out?

As soon as he was worried, he saw a lot of smoke and dust rising from the east, and then a team of people arrived.

Li Ziqian wanted to flee when he urged the horse, but his subordinates still grabbed his reins: "Uncle Jun, it's Tuo Junjing, and it's Tuo Junjing's banner over there!" ”

It was indeed Tuo Junjing who came, because the Goryeo people were so chaotic that he was one of the few troops that could still maintain their formation, and they fled faster. After evacuating from the battlefield, he gathered some deserters and inquired about Li Ziqian's whereabouts, so he rushed to respond.

He brought nearly 2,000 people, which made Li Ziqian burst into tears: "I regret not listening to the general!" ”

"The Song army has the help of demon law, even if they listen to me, it is just a defeat...... Uncle Jun, let's go back to Wengpu first, what I'm worried about now is our retreat! Tuo Junjing said somewhat resentfully. (To be continued.) )
