Chapter 226: Picturesque Country (5)
Yelu Dezhong also saw Yao Pingzhong, although only Yao Pingzhong's department was not very numerous, seven or eight hundred elites, but Yelu Dezhong knew that at this time his own people were exhausted, if Yao Pingzhong was willing, he had the ability to kill the Liao army here and turn it on his back, so he immediately ordered the Liao army to retreat, anyway, Li Siyuan's department was almost wiped out, let go of Li Siyuan and dozens of others, the result of this battle could not be changed, and it could save his army from Yao Pingzhong's counterattack, Yelu Dezhong did not know at this time that Xiao Mo had been shot by Li Siyuan.
Yao Pingzhong didn't want to give the Liao army a ruthless blow, as long as he killed a few times in the Liao army's array, this Liao army would basically be crippled, but Li Siyuan next to him didn't allow him to do this, if he made the robe encounter an accident for the sake of a momentary pleasure and revenge, it would be more than worth the loss, with Yao Pingzhong opening the way, no one in the Liao army dared to stop it, but automatically flashed a way for Yao Pingzhong and the others to leave.
"What, General Xiao Mo was shot and killed by Li Siyuan?" When Yelude heard the news when he reorganized the army, he was excited to let his eye sockets bleed again, and after taking a few deep breaths to calm down the agitated heart, he said, "Immediately go and join King Xiao." ”
Yao Pingzhong took Li Siyuan and the others out of the battlefield, found a quiet place for people to put Li Siyuan down, and carefully checked Li Siyuan's injuries.
Li Siyuan was a little ashamed and said: "Xiao Yao Xianggong, the two of us are in command of the expansion and now there are only these people left in front of us......"
Yao Pingzhong pulled out the spearhead on Li Siyuan's leg, quickly bandaged it to stop the bleeding, listened to Li Siyuan's words, and said with a smile: "It's not right for you to say that, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and besides, your defeat has also caused the Liao army to suffer huge losses, and the Liao army's loss of soldiers should be about 3,000, this battle." You're not losing. ”
……
At this moment, Xiao Gan has been transferred to Yao Gu in a very short period of time, the previous Liao army is empty, and most of the Xihe Army is stationed in it, and at this time it is already an offensive and defensive situation, and the Liao people's camping skills are naturally much worse than those of the Song people. After the offensive of the Song people, it was even more dilapidated, at this time Xiao Gan arrived here with lightning speed, this place is absolutely difficult to defend, without a foreign aid, the Xihe army here, I am afraid that it will fall into an extremely risky situation.
"Yao Xianggong, the momentum of the Liao army is too fierce, and our army is simply unable to contain the offensive of the Liao army." A commander came to Yao Gu and said, "Xiao Gan of the Liao Kingdom is not in vain. Take the strategy of light riding to the extreme! ”
Of course, Yao Gu knew the current situation of his army, Xiao Gan came here in person, and there were about 20,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom were cavalry, and the rest of the Liao infantry were not here, and it was estimated that they were still stationed not far from Yanjing at the moment.
Although the soldiers and horses of the Song people were on par with the Liao army, or even more, they were now compressed in the dilapidated camps and fortresses. It can't be opened at all.
Xiao Gan gave a strategic indication and sent all the cavalry in his hand. The Xihe army was surrounded without leakage, but Xiao Gan still left 5,000 elite soldiers and horses in his hands to respond.
Yao Gu originally didn't value the thousands of soldiers and horses left by Xiao Gan, but now it seems that his thoughts seem to be a little biased, Xiao Gan only has three or five thousand men and horses around him, but the Song army of these three or five thousand men and horses can't fight with peace of mind, where has just made a little progress. Where Xiao Gan's figure will appear, it has caused great pressure on his own army, while the Liao army is more at ease, further compressing the combat range of his own army, which is not a good trend.
The Song army was constantly breaking through. However, as soon as they were killed not far from the camp, they were killed head-on by rolling iron hooves, and although the Song army was not instantly defeated, in a very short period of time, the casualties had reached a heinous level.
The so-called one general is not tired of thousands of troops, but like Xiao Gan, a great man in the last days of the Great Liao, also has the ability to change the world, Yao Gu is poor, no, this person has been crisscrossing the territory for decades, and he is also a general, but he was forced by Liu Yanqing's military order, revealing such a flaw.
What kind of character Xiao Gan is, it is this little flaw, as long as he is given enough time, he will be able to eat this Lu Xihe Army thoroughly, and his heart is already so big.
The Song army finally opened a passage at an extremely heavy price, but the thousands of personal soldiers in Xiao Gan's hands blocked the gap in time, and in this way, the Song army suffered more casualties.
"Try to avoid Xiao Gan's edge, where Xiao Gan is, even if you use the human wall, you have to drag him down, and then we will break through from other places." Yao Gu coldly ordered, Xiao Gan is powerful, but Xiao Gan is also long, and everyone knows that he is tired!
He wielded a big stick, like a fighting machine that didn't know how to get tired, the Song sergeant bloomed blood flowers from time to time in front of the eight catties, and the stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky, wherever he passed, the Song army was like a mustard and was quickly harvested by him.
"Bang." The eight-pound big stick in the room was swept away, and the weapon in the hand of a Song Army officer flew in response, but before he could react, the eight-pound stick in the room arrived again, only to see blood splashed everywhere, and the head was shattered at once.
He had killed the Song army officer with a stick, and took advantage of the situation to take another step forward, sweeping out all the Song soldiers behind the officer......
"Woo woo......" Xiao Gan heard the sound of horns sounding in the Song army's formation, knowing that Yao Gu must be changing formations, he stopped and looked at it carefully, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and secretly praised: "Yao Gu is worthy of being Yao Gu, but a certain family is not an idiot, if you want to use human life to drag a certain one, it depends on how much capital you are willing to make."
Yao Gu's tactics quickly paid off, and although the Song army had to sacrifice the lives of countless young soldiers in Xiao Gan's command, the Song army recovered some interest in other positions.
The pressure on the Liao army on other roads is very high, although they are all cavalry, they have a natural advantage against the Song soldiers, but once the cavalry falls into the sea of infantry, the advantage is greatly discounted, and the Liao army is even a little unable to stabilize its position at this time.
Sometimes it's just a scuffle, killing indiscriminately, and when I look back, I realize that not only did I not take advantage of it, but I also lost a lot.
On the surface, the Liao and Song sides won and lost each other, but the Liao army actually took the initiative, and the Song army suffered far more casualties than the Liao army.
Due to the large number of dead and wounded people on both sides, the blood melted the snow and could not penetrate into the frozen ground, slowly flowing, this is a real river of blood, forming dozens of streams of blood and snow on the battlefield, but unfortunately no one carefully looked at this scene like Shura's hell, because they still continued to perfect this picture. (To be continued......)
PS: Yesterday, some places beat Li Siyuan's four-stone bow into five stones, VIP chapter modification is very troublesome, here is a statement, everyone is tolerant and forgiving, and then there is that the war is fought so slowly is not a subordinate official irrigation, ancient wars, generally speaking, except for sneak attacks, are fought very carefully, both sides must continue to invest in soldiers and horses to try, larger and small-scale battles, and then each of them to achieve small advantages and disadvantages, the reason why famous generals are called famous generals is that they will continue to expand this small advantage, roll up a snowball, and finally break out into a big war, It is to reach the future.
