"Brothers, let's get to Zhuozhou again."

The person who spoke was of course a lieutenant in Cao Bin's army.

Due to the robbery of the grain road last time, the entire army was facing the danger of running out of food, so it naturally gave up Zhuozhou, which had not much grain in stock.

At this time, Cao Bin's troops began their journey to Zhuozhou again, but this group of guys who had healed their scars and forgot the pain didn't know that Zhuozhou was now a big trap.

"How far are you to get to the city of Zhuozhou?" Cao Bin asked his scouts.

"Back to Taiwei, there are less than sixty miles to go."

At this time, a scout came back from the front: "Report to the captain, the traces of the Liao cavalry have been found not far ahead." ”

"The whole army is arrayed, ready to meet the enemy."

After Cao Bin gave the order, the whole army set up a formation and prepared to meet the enemy.

Soon the Khitan cavalry appeared in sight, but the Khitan cavalry in front of him didn't seem to have a lot of feelings.

Soon these Khitan cavalry also charged, but the strange thing is that this group of Khitan cavalry did not rush directly towards the Song army, but continued to detour around the Song army's camp.

Since the Khitan cavalry did not directly carry out a frontal attack, they made a detour like this, and then pumped cold and released two arrows. made Song Jun very embarrassed.

Although it did not cause any substantial damage to Song Jun, it was very annoying and tiring. Just when the Song army really couldn't help but send cavalry to attack, the Khitan cavalry retreated.

In this way, the Song army did not have the extra physical strength to march anymore today, so they began to bury pots and cook in the same place and set up camp.

This is not the end, and the Khitan cavalry came to attack at night. It was said that it was a night attack, but it didn't really attack, it was just to make trouble for you, throw a torch or two to set it on fire, and there were no casualties, but it was true that you didn't sleep well.

Early the next morning, the Song army had to go on the road again, dragging its tired body for less than ten miles, and there were scouts to report back, and the Khitan attacked.

Well, here we go again, let's line up.

As usual, the arrows are wound, the knives are unsheathed, and the guns are mounted.

Then, just like yesterday, the Khitan cavalry began to detour towards the Song army camp again, releasing cold arrows.

This set again? Arrows, arrows.

But a problem was discovered, the speed of the archers could not keep up with the lateral movement speed of the Khitan cavalry. There is no purpose at all.

Bows and arrows don't work? Then go to the cavalry. But the cavalry was only above, and the Khitan army withdrew.

It's good, don't go, I haven't rested well, and I'm even more tired now. Set up camp and strengthen your guard tonight.

It is true that the security has been strengthened, and the Khitan has not rushed to the military camp to set fire to it anymore, but people have changed their tricks. The Khitans are directly sent to constantly drive a large number of horses around your barracks. The sound of the horses was noisy enough this night.

The Song army was tossed for four days before reaching the city of Zhuozhou, and when they arrived, the entire army of the Song army was no different from losing their souls.

But don't think that the nightmare will end when you arrive at the city of Zhuozhou, at this time the nightmare of the Song army has just begun.

In addition to the strategy of exhausting the enemy, Yelu Hugo has continuously sent troops to harass the Song army for the past four days, and there is also the biggest purpose, which is to divert the attention of the Song army.

In these four days, Yelu Hugo had already laid a net in Zhuozhou, waiting for the Song army to come and vote.

Just when the Song army was in formation and ready to attack the city, Khitan cavalry began to pour out from all directions.

This situation was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Cao Bin, he didn't expect that Yelu Xiuge, who didn't even dare to pursue him before, had already set up an encirclement at this time, just waiting for him to get in.

Cao Bin, who had just reacted, hurriedly ordered the battle, but under the double blow of the huge shock and the accumulation of several days of exhaustion, the Song soldiers did not make any effective resistance at all.

The war turned into a one-sided slaughter in an instant, and the Song army would be harvested like weeds.

At this time, Cao Bin's whole person fell into despair, he regretted listening to his subordinates' pouting, and felt that the last failure was just an illusion. Now he understands that he feels that it is an illusion that the Khitan does not dare to pursue.

At this time, a cavalry unit suddenly appeared on the west side of the battlefield.

The cavalry began to rush towards the Khitan encirclement at great speed.

Just when they were about to touch the outermost part of the Khitan encirclement, they only heard the leader shouting: "Ignite." ”

Then I saw that the soldiers of this cavalry took out a ball one after another, and then lit it with a fire breaker, and the lead on the sphere.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the general just now shout again: "Launch." ”

The cavalrymen pulled out a slingshot and shot the ball into the air.

I saw that these spheres fell towards the Khitan army one after another, and then they exploded one after another, although the explosion effect was not strong, but it still opened a gap in the encirclement.

The sudden appearance of the cavalry rushed directly into the enemy line through the gap.

This cavalry is Zhao Weiji's troops, and these ball bombs are also made by him.

Of course, this kind of bomb is a simple grenade made by Zhao Weiji. However, due to the limitations of the production process, the explosion power of this grenade is not huge. Only when multiple of them are used together can they produce a relatively large amount of power in a small area.

Since this is the case, of course, it is not suitable for the infantry to prepare the main star scattering array. And because the grenade could not be pushed far by hand throwing and slingshot ejection, it was naturally abandoned in positional warfare.

But this grenade has a miraculous effect when defending the city and counter-encirclement. It is easy to make a hole in the encirclement by firing the grenade with a slingshot before the cavalry is about to storm the encirclement.

So Zhao Weiji, who expected that Cao Bin would definitely be surrounded, sacrificed this method and tried to rescue Cao Bin's troops.

Li Jiguang led the cavalry into the encirclement and immediately found Cao Bin.

"Captain Cao, I am a subordinate of General Zhao of the Middle Route Army, and now I am here to rescue Captain Cao on the order of General Zhao, and I also ask Captain Cao to quickly gather the men and horses of the headquarters and break through with us."

After hearing Li Jiguang's words, Cao Bin didn't have any reason, and immediately ordered people to quickly pack up the people in his headquarters and prepare to break through.

But because the scene was already too chaotic, Cao Bin could only gather about 7,000 cavalry to break through in the end.

Seeing that time is pressing, Li Jiguang can't control it so much, anyway, Zhao Weiji's order is to rescue Cao Bin, and the others can save as much as they want.

So just like that, more than 7,000 cavalry began to follow Li Jiguang's troops and began to break through.

Breaking through the encirclement is still the old way, directly using a grenade to blow up a hole in the south of the encirclement, and then everyone took this opportunity to rush out and quickly move to the south.

Not far to the south, Zhao Weiji had already lined up the infantry troops, just waiting for Li Jiguang and their broken cavalry troops to come back.

Seeing that a part of the Song army broke through, Yelu Hugo reacted immediately, he ordered Xiao Dalan to take a part of the troops to chase after this group of fish that had slipped through the net, and he led the large army to start the final siege of the remaining Song soldiers.

The preparations led by Xiao Dalan were naturally blocked by Zhao Weiji's troops.

Xiao Dalan had naturally heard of the power of the Star Scattering Array, and was just ready to experience it for himself.

After really making contact with this formation, I found that the troops were like falling into a quagmire, and the aggregation would inevitably be hit by strong bows and crossbows, and once dispersed, they would be restrained by the Song army's squads one by one, and these squads gathered and dispersed freely, and with the restrictions on horses from the assault rifles, they soon completely restrained the Khitan cavalry.

Then it was the cavalry that was supporting from all over the place that began to disrupt the battlefield, and soon the Khitan troops began to be broken one by one.

In the end, even Xiao Dalan was directly captured by Li Jiguangsheng.

……

"Is there a return again? What is that formation again? What a magical formation is this? "Yelu Xiuge, who was cleaning the battlefield in Zhuozhou, heard the news that Xiao Dalan had gone and had never returned, and he really couldn't suppress his ability to suppress this formation that could capture and kill his two generals in a row.

Tens of thousands of Song soldiers were killed by the Khitan army in this battle, and almost most of the people who broke through were killed on the battlefield. Only a very small part surrendered to the Khitan army.

Jelu Hugo ordered the sergeant to collect the corpses of the Song soldiers who had died in the battle and make them into a Jingguan in recognition of his military exploits.

……

Cao Bin, who escaped successfully here, is now in Zhao Weiji's account. Although his official position is much higher than Zhao Weiji, now he is just a defeated general, so it is naturally not good to point fingers at Zhao Weiji. After seeing Zhao Weiji, he was polite.

And Zhao Weiji here did not do anything rude to Cao Bin, and was still very polite, because Cao Bin was still useful at this time, and he wanted to use Cao Bin to receive another unit, which was the Mixin army as Cao Bin's auxiliary.

Shortly after Mi Xin's troops captured Xincheng, they were about to continue their advance, but they were blocked back by the Liao [***] team. At this time, they had been surrounded in the new city for some time.

Zhao Weiji prepared to go back to the division directly to save Mi Xin at this time, and then use Cao Bin to take over Mi Xin's troops.

Only with Mi Xin's troops, coupled with the troops he already has now, can Zhao Weiji believe that he can have the ability to fight with Yelu Huge.

In Zhao Weiji's impression, as long as Yelu Huge is defeated, then there will be no rescue on the western battlefield of the Liao army, so that even if Pan Meiyang Ye can't take Xijing Datong Mansion in the end, he will be able to evacuate safely.

But what Zhao Weiji didn't know was that the trajectory of history at this time was different from what he knew at the beginning. There was a genius Yelu Mo in the Liao army who had never been recorded in history, and there was a strange soldier under the Empress Dowager Xiao.

At this time, the Song troops on the western battlefield could not perceive the fate they were about to face, and at this time, they were still thinking about how to take this city after being held back by the defenders of Yingzhou for a long time.
