Chapter 41: The Khitans Attack [10] Revised Version
Chapter 41: The Khitans Attack [10]
Even the idiots among the idiots with an IQ of only one know that they are now ambushed by the other party, not to mention the world where wisdom is not an idiot. Although Wen Zhongshi is in a trance, he is a veteran of battle for a long time, and he is still a capable general despite his shortcomings of cronyism and selfishness.
"The former army becomes the rear army, and the rear army becomes the front army! Quickly, the cavalry protected the western flank, and the infantry clinged to the White Tide River. Back at Coyote Mountain, we'll be safe! Although Wen Zhongshi was shocked, he quickly and decisively gave the right order.
However, he looked too highly at the Youzhou soldiers under his command, and he was able to quickly calm down when he was suddenly surrounded. But his soldiers did not have the same ability as him, they only knew that they were surrounded, like prey that had fallen into a hunter's trap, and it was generally impossible to escape.
Wen Zhongshi had no choice but to change the order: "The whole army is stationed on the spot!" ”
It is troublesome to retreat, but the garrison of the whole army is simple, including the cavalry of the Youzhou Rong soldiers, followed by the crossbowmen, and the outermost pikemen. The whole formation was like a ball of wrapped hedgehogs, with sharp spikes aimed at the outside, and at first glance, there was a feeling that a dog had bitten a hedgehog and couldn't bite it.
However, in the eyes of Sasted and the others, they are just a yellow sheep that has been bitten by a wolf and is dying. The defensive formation is like the yellow sheep exerting its remaining vitality with convulsions and four-hooves kicking. Although it will hurt the wolf's hand a little and hurt a little, it is completely the last struggle.
In fact, this situation is not only seen by Sasted, but also seen by the middle of the world, but the only thing he can do now is pray. Of course, it won't be praying for some gods, and now even if Guanyin Bodhisattva appears in front of him, it will not be as effective as Li Cunhuan. That's right, Wen Zhongshi was praying that Li Cunhuan, who he despised the most at the previous moment, could lead his troops out to the rescue.
I have to sigh at the wonder of the world.
Naturally, Sātā would not give Wen Zhongshi this chance to live, he sneered and waved his hand. Thousands of Khitan light horsemen galloped out, scattered into dozens of groups, ranging from hundreds to **ten. There was a strange cry like a beast in everyone's mouth, and the Youzhou soldiers who were fighting against the water were obviously frightened, and everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back. The originally neat formation seemed to have been bitten by an invisible hungry wolf, and the periphery became uneven.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! The sound of bowstrings erupted, and the rain of arrows poured down on the Youzhou soldiers. The crossbowmen of the Youzhou Rong soldiers also tried to fight back. However, their counterattack was so weak compared to the attack of the Khitan light cavalry. It was as if a person with weak limbs had launched an attack on Bruce Lee, a martial arts master. When they shot over a dozen horsemen, the Youzhou Rong soldiers had already been shot over hundreds of people by the Khitan light cavalry.
"Don't give up, everyone! Support! General Lee will come to our rescue soon! Wen Zhongshi loudly encouraged the soldiers, but his words were so pale and weak. According to the current trend, he even feels that it is extremely difficult to support Li Cunhuan to come and collect their corpses.
"Smack!" The wooden door was knocked open, Li Cunhuan looked at Sha Eucalyptus who rushed in lightly, and asked indifferently, "What happened?" ”
"Huan, Brother Huan, Nawen Zhongshi went out with soldiers, and as a result, he was besieged by the Khitans! ......," Sha said breathlessly.
When Li Cunhuan heard this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, interrupting Sha Yuke's words and saying, "I know what you said, but I ask you, what can I do?" ”
"Naturally, it is to send troops...... Send troops ......" Speaking of this, Sha Eucalyptus also said and couldn't help but be stunned.
Yes, what can Lee Cun-hwan do now? The group of Zixingzhou soldiers under his command will definitely not be willing to use their strength to save the Youzhou Rong soldiers, and the remaining 2,000 Youzhou Rong soldiers are probably also frightened by the offensive of the Khitans below.
If the Khitan who got off the horse was a dog, then the Khitan who got off the horse was a steppe wolf. On the grassland, the steppe wolves are invincible, and even the Siberian tiger, the king of all beasts, does not dare to fight against a pack of steppe wolves. Therefore, even if Li Cunhuan poured the remaining 5,000 soldiers to rescue Wen Zhongshi, the final result would only be to add 5,000 heads to the Khitan merit book.
Li Cunhuan said hatefully: "This is the fault of the world in the text!" This guy! ......" Li Cunhuan was furious in his heart, and he couldn't say anything angry. He just hates the Middle Ages, and he pities the 3,000 soldiers and horses!
The loss is not only the 3,000 Youzhou soldiers, but also the morale, especially the remaining 2,000 Youzhou soldiers who see that Li Cunhuan does not send troops to rescue, I am afraid that the army's heart will fluctuate, thinking that Li Cunhuan will not be saved when he sees death. But Li Cunhuan is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't tell if he suffers.
Not to mention anything else, the Xingzhou soldiers, who had an advantage in numbers, refused to use their strength to help the Youzhou soldiers who usually fought against them. And the Youzhou Rong soldiers are probably also frightened because of the relationship between the Khitan light cavalry and the courage below.
Li Cunhuan sighed faintly and did not speak again. Sha Yuke glanced at Li Cunhuan with a complicated face, sighed faintly in his heart, and closed the wooden door as he exited the door.
And after nearly an hour of bitter fighting in the middle of the world in the White Tide River, the army finally collapsed. Wen Zhongshi let out a long sigh, his eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "Zhou Yingying, Li Cunhuan, who killed me!" As soon as the words fell, he picked up his saber and raised his sword in his hand. He has killed himself on the edge of the White Tide River.
And Zhou Yingying, who buried 3,000 Youzhou soldiers this time, was not as brave as Wen Zhongshi, and he took the lead in leading his soldiers to surrender to the Khitans. In this battle, the Khitans killed more than 1,000 Youzhou soldiers on the banks of the Baichao River, captured nearly 2,000 Youzhou soldiers, and dyed the Baichao River a pale red with blood. The corpse was ruthlessly thrown into the White Tide River by the Khitans, attracting countless river fish to compete for food.
Looking at the pale red White Tide River, the soldiers on Coyote Mountain gritted their teeth, but their hearts were more fearful. Especially the Youzhou Rong soldiers, the two of them led people to break into Li Cunhuan's Chinese army tent, ready to question Li Cunhuan.
Although he didn't succeed and was stopped by Sha Yuke with his own soldiers, he had already seen how much prestige Li Cunhuan had in the eyes of the Youzhou soldiers. The morale of the army was low, but Li Cunhuan couldn't come out to appease the army, because the 2,000 Youzhou soldiers outside were eyeing him.
There is a strong enemy outside, and there are hostile soldiers inside. Li Cunhuan gave birth to a feeling of being embattled for a while. Suddenly, the battlefield that was originally dominant actually fell to one side, which made Li Cunhuan not depressed, but more resentful of Wen Zhongshi. If it weren't for Wen Zhongshi's indifference to his boss and his own actions, how could it have caused today's evil consequences?
Thankfully, however, the 3,000 reinforcements also arrived at the back of Coyote Mountain at night. How much also made Li Cunhuan feel a little more confident.;
