Chapter 35: Yongxi's Northern Expedition (9)

"I already know the weakness of that formation." As soon as the meeting began, Jeruxiu came up with such a sentence without a head.

"What the hell?" The generals below couldn't wait, after all, this day's battle was a torture for them.

"One of the biggest flaws I found in their formation was that they didn't rotate. Although the number of Song troops is not a minority, there are only a few people who can really execute that strange formation. ”

Hearing Yelu Huge's words, the Liao generals under him also seemed to react, and there were really so many people who were really executing that strange formation, and the remaining infantry never replenished the formation.

"What's more, although the bamboo tube in their hands has great lethality to the horses of our cavalry, it seems that that thing is a surname once, and it will be gone after use. Judging from these circumstances, if we rush directly into the army, it will be easy to be directly annihilated by a wave. But if we consume a small wave, we can have a chance of winning. ”

……

The Liao army has already found a way to deal with the Song army's star array, but Zhao Weiji is not a fool.

"It's possible that the shortcomings of our Star Scattering Array have already been seen through by Brother Jerry." In the same scene, Zhao Weiji also came to a sentence without a head before he sat down.

"Actually, it's not so much that I guess Brother Yelu didn't directly find a way to deal with the Star Array, but found a way to deal with our army." Zhao Weiji quickly added.

"What's the difference." Hu Yanzan, who was sitting at the bottom, didn't quite understand what Zhao Weiji meant by this sentence.

Before Zhao Weiji could explain, Li Jiguang spoke: "I think it should be Brother Yelu Xiu who sees that our army has two shortcomings now." The first is the consumables of the assault rifle, which cannot be used continuously. The second is that our army seems to have a lot of people, but in fact, there are not many people who can carry out the Star Scattering Array, and if Yelu Hugo adopts a wheel war, our people will be exhausted sooner or later. ”

"Well, what Yuan Jing said is exactly what I want to say, today's battle is a little unsustainable on our side by the time Yelu Xiuge invests in the third wave of soldiers. I guess Yelu Hugo has already seen this problem, so he will not hesitate to use the tactic of adding fuel to increase the number of troops one by one. ”

"So what to do, tomorrow we will definitely still be these people. In case Yelu Hugo is ruthless in a wheel war that does not hesitate to use his troops, we don't want to be consumed alive by him. Huyanzan was really a little anxious.

"Does he, Jeruxiu, think that I only have this star array? Uncle Xin, can those things be assembled tonight? "Zhao Weiji is still very confident.

"It should be fine." Zhao Xin on the side replied.

"That's good, come and look at the map, you can bring someone to bring things here tonight to assemble, and then wait for the war to start tomorrow."

"Yes." After speaking, Zhao Xin turned around and left the big tent.

The next day, in the same place again, the two armies began to confront each other again.

"Brother Yelu Xiu, today I will leave the head of you, Yu Yue of the Liao Kingdom." Before the battle started, Zhao Weiji was very arrogant and began to shout at Brother Yeluxiu.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Hearing Zhao Weiji's arrogant rhetoric, Yelu Hugo didn't have any violent reaction, for so many years, there are too many people who want other heads, what is the final result.

"Let's get started." Jerushuge ordered to his lieutenant general.

Soon, the Liao army formed a phalanx in an orderly manner and began to charge towards the positions of the Song army one after another.

"Sure enough." Seeing the Liao army's charging formation, Zhao Weiji himself understood that Yelu Xiuge had indeed seen through the weakness of this formation, not the formation, but the army's.

"Let's do as planned." Zhao Weiji also gave orders to his subordinates.

So Song Jun set up a star-scattering array as usual.

In this way, the two armies made contact for the first time, and after the two armies came into contact, Jeluxiugo immediately noticed a trace of strangeness. Over there, it's been a few days, and the operation of the Star Scattering Array is obviously not smooth.

It turned out that in order to make up for the lack of personnel, Zhao Weiji incorporated a large number of "new soldiers" into the Star Scattering Array, although there were "veterans" who brought these "recruits" to integrate into the Star Scattering Array relatively quickly.

However, due to the formation in which a considerable number of "recruits" entered, the tacit understanding of the soldiers in the formation and the smoothness of operation will naturally be somewhat discounted.

Although the operation of the formation was discounted, because the Khitan soldiers were divided into the Star Scattering Array, now the Song army has the advantage of numbers, and the advantage of numbers still makes up for the lack of operation.

"If you want to make up for the shortcomings with this, don't think of our Da Liao too simply. The whole army gathered and went up together. "Because although the number of troops has increased, the operation of the formation has been reduced, in this case, how can this operating formation be able to block the attack of the Liao army.

With the order of Yelu Hugo, the Liao army began a general offensive.

"Here we are." Chen Ran on the side reminded Zhao Weiji.

"Let's do it." Zhao Weiji also saw that the Liao army began to launch a general attack.

With Zhao Weiji's order, Chen Ran next to him took out the musket, and then fired a bullet into the sky.

The bullet exploded at its highest point, followed by a burst of red light and smoke.

Seeing the red light, the Song army decisively began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the Song army began to retreat, Yelu Hugo couldn't figure out what was happening, but then a UFO appeared in the sky and attacked his own army.

It turned out that Zhao Weiji, in order to prevent changes, dismantled five catapults and five bed crossbows when he came out of Ulzhou, and brought them out with the army.

Last night, he asked Zhao Xin to take people to a hill not far south of the Zhuolu battlefield with the parts, and assembled all these equipment.

The signal flare just now was also made by Zhao Weiji, and this signal was to make Zhao Xin start to move, and all the Song troops who were fighting retreated.

After seeing the signal, Zhao Xin, who had been preparing for a long time, decisively ordered the launch. In this way, the "artillery" flew towards the Liao army with blunt arrows.

The Liao army, which was caught off guard, was directly smashed by these things, and a large number of soldiers died on the spot.

"What the fuck is this?" Yeluxiugo, who had been on the battlefield in the east, had never dealt with this kind of thing, and he didn't pay attention to it for the time being.

But soon Yelu Hugo also reacted, as long as the army was dispersed, the chance of receiving a blow would be reduced, so he decisively ordered the army to disperse.

But as soon as he dispersed the army, the second signal flare from the Song army's side was also launched. The attack from the hill immediately afterwards stopped. But the rest of the Song army went on the offensive in full swing.

Both sides know that this is the final decisive battle, and success or defeat is here.

In this way, the entire Liao army and the Song army were all in one place.

Because the impact of the Liao cavalry immediately decreased after it dispersed, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on the Song army's side was also uneven. So now the two armies are fighting on an equal footing.

When the two armies were in the midst of a scuffle, Li Jiguang ran into Yelu Huge.

Since learning martial arts, Li Jiguang has been eager to fight with the real strong, and last time he gave up the fight with Yelu Mo for victory, and at this time he actually met Yu Yue of Liao, how could he let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Second, if you don't say anything, Li Jiguang raised his gun and stabbed straight at Yelu Xiuge.

Yelu Hugo was not ambiguous, and directly used the spear in his hand to block Li Jiguang's stab. But just from this round of fighting, Yelu Hugo can judge that Li Jiguang is not a mediocre player.

In the last battle with Tian Chongjin, he always felt that he was a little invincible, and he didn't enjoy it enough, and at this moment, with such a good hand sent to the door, he naturally won't let it go.

The two fought for more than 60 rounds and were still deadlocked, but the tide of the battle changed. Because the Liao army had suffered losses before, the morale of the Song army was strong at this moment, so the balance of the goddess of victory gradually began to tilt towards the Song army.

Slowly, the Song army began to form a connection between various points in the chaos, and as soon as such a connection appeared, it meant that the Khitan army was about to fail.

Although he was fighting with Li Jiguang, Yelu Xiuge's control of the battle situation was still there, and he knew that the Liao army had begun to succeed or fail, Yelu Xiuge decisively did not hesitate, and immediately grabbed a small flaw in Li Jiguang and withdrew from the battle.

As soon as he opened the distance, Jeruxiugo decisively turned around to look for the herald, and when he found the herald, he immediately asked the herald to blow the horn of retreat.

The remaining Khitan soldiers did not fall in love with the battle and immediately chose to retreat.

Although Li Jiguang wanted to pursue Yelu Xiuge, he was blocked by the Khitan soldiers who killed him around, so he had to give up the pursuit.

In the face of the retreat of the entire Khitan cavalry, the Song army was powerless to catch up, but the victory on the Zhuolu battlefield did belong to the Song army.

Zhao Weiji, who returned to the barracks after the victory, began to investigate the casualties, and the results were not optimistic, although the Liao army was defeated, but the Song army also paid a great price.

But from this moment on, the war on the two battlefields in the east and the central was basically over, and the Song army had no strength to advance north, so it could only retreat to Ulzhou City, and Yelu Hugo had no ability to go west or south.

Just when Zhao Weiji led his troops to retreat to Ulzhou, he got a battle report from the western battlefield.

When he saw the battle report, his whole person suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning and froze on the spot. The battle report showed that Pan Mei Yang Ye's Western Route Army was ambushed in Datong Mansion, and a strange army appeared on the battlefield to defeat Yang Ye's troops. Yang Jiaerlang has been killed in battle.

Now the Western Route Army is besieged in the city of Yingzhou, but because Yingzhou has long been broken, they should not be able to support it for too long.

"What's going on with this Wonder Army? There has never been such an army in history. Yelu Huge, who was supposed to go to the west for reinforcements, has been intercepted and defeated by me. ”

This strange soldier brought Zhao Weiji a great blow, it turned out that he was still a bad move, and for the first time he thought that his knowledge of history would sometimes limit his vision.

But at this time, it is useless to think so much, the most important thing is to lead the troops to rescue the West Road, and the fastest way to rescue the West Road without passing through the war zone is to cross the foothills of the Taihang Mountains.

But new problems have arisen.
