[Asking for tickets, collecting, recommending ......]

Since Zhao Zhen had received a report from the secret saucer before the Liao State began to attack, Huo Wangxi had plenty of time to build the fortifications he had envisioned.

"Alas! Why hasn't the Liao Kingdom come yet? Huo Wangxi stood on the watchtower, holding his clairvoyance and observing for several days, but there was no trace of the Liao army to verify his new tactics, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"Huh!" The staff officer smiled next to him: "Commander, everyone else is afraid of war, you are good!" I look forward to the Liao people calling every day. ”

Huo Wangxi: "That must be dropped!" If you don't fight, why do you want to be a soldier? It's better to go home and hug your daughter-in-law! ”

Staff Officer: "Then you don't have to be in a hurry! Didn't the scout come back to report, the Liao army had already tested our silt pass yesterday, and knocked out a mouthful of teeth. With their temper, they have suffered a loss head-on, and they will definitely play the trick of besieging the city, so we will wait for work here. ”

Huo Wangxi: "That's what I said, I'm afraid they won't come." Look at the soldiers below, they are all idle, and it's not a matter of waiting for too long! Go, gather them all together, and practice the drills. ”

"Yes!" The staff officer clicked and went out.

Soon after, these 10,000 "unlucky" recruits performed in the fields after the autumn harvest, and the scene was much more exciting than watching the big show.

"Good! That's it! If you move harder, don't look like a girl......" Huo Wangxi watched the big drama while drinking tea, and chirped crookedly.

The staff officer couldn't stand it on the side, and couldn't help muttering: "You really don't have a backache when you sit and talk!" ”

Unexpectedly, Huo Wangxi's ears were quite smart, and he glanced at him: "Don't think that if you speak quietly, the envoy can't hear it, don't put the pestle on your own, hurry up and get some wine for the envoy, this is really not a taste of just drinking tea!" ”

Staff Officer: "Commander, don't think about the wine, drink your tea!" The military regulations are clearly written, and it is forbidden to drink alcohol when marching into battle...... Especially officers! ”

"Alas!" Huo Wangxi sighed helplessly: "It's good to be a saint, it's not bad for us to be soldiers, it's just that this doesn't make drinking uncomfortable!" You say that we soldiers can not drink, and we can still be brave when we drink! ”

The staff officer smiled and quipped: "Then you go to the Holy Theory by yourself!" ”

Huo Wangxi: "Get out of the calf!" ”

……

At noon on the second day after the Battle of Sikou Pass, Huo Wangxi, who could no longer play any tricks, finally waited for the news of the Liao army.

When Huo Wangxi heard the news, he hurriedly ran to the guard tower, grabbed the staff officer and asked, "Where is the Liao army now?" ”

The staff officer pointed to the map and said: "According to the report of the scouts, the Liao army set off early in the morning, and all the cavalry, about 10,000 people, should be one of their 10,000 troops. Judging by the speed of their march, this should be only ten miles away from where we are now! ”

Huo Wangxi: "That's good! Let the soldiers all be in place, the shield soldiers will push me to the front, and the crossbowmen will stand on top of them, and I will aim and shoot later! ”

The staff officer hesitated: "Commander, the Liao army has 10,000 people, and they are all cavalry, does your trick work?" ”

Huo Wangxi: "How do you speak!" Removed the word "?" for me. Do you think that the envoy asked you to dig those ladders for dry use, not only for our soldiers, but also for the Liao cavalry! ”

"But ......," the staff officer hesitated, "what if they don't follow our path and go a little farther away?" ”

Huo Wangxi: "Ouch! You're so smart! Why didn't I realize you were so smart before! You said that if the barbarians of the Liao Kingdom were as smart as you, how could the envoy still be confused! ”

The staff officer said modestly: "You have won the prize!" ”

Huo Wangxi: "Won the prize? Jam fart! You don't want to think about it, the Liao State pressed us to fight decades ago, and it has long been arrogant, not to mention that people are cavalry, will they take our 10,000 infantry in their eyes? If we don't stay in the city obediently, and we are still wandering around in this place where there is no village and no store, isn't that just a 'fat meat' sent to their mouths! Do you think they are willing to give up our heads and such meritorious deeds, they are supposed to make this 'fat meat', but our 'fat meat' is with bones, and they will choke if they can't eat it when the time comes! ”

The staff officer gave a thumbs up: "You're still tall!" ”

Huo Wangxi: "I won't talk to you, the Liao army should also arrive, hurry up and organize the troops, fight leisurely, it's not good to scare them!" ”

Staff Officer: "Subordinates understand! ”

……

The cavalry of the Liao army, which hurried towards their location, consisted mainly of Uighur tribesmen, whose commander was named Ujie Mosi, who was also a descendant of the once glorious Uighur Usuke Khan. In fact, people of his identity abound in the Liao military system, this is because although the Liao State has been strong for many years, it has not really become a feudal empire, and it is more of tribal autonomy, and the army is also called in various ministries.

The Uighurs, who are quick as falcons, are distinguished in terms of speed and should be the best choice for light cavalry. The Uighurs fought bravely, and their scimitars, bows and arrows took off many heads, and those as powerful as the Tang Dynasty also used their power to quell rebellions. However, many of them believed in Buddhism in such a nation where force was supreme, and they did not know how the missionaries were taught to them at that time.

Although the Liao army suffered a little loss in yesterday's siege battle, this did not affect Wujie Moxi's optimism about the entire battle situation, and his confidence in the Great Liao Empire was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at the moment, and he did not believe that anyone dared to stop his 10,000 cavalry in the field. In his opinion, if it weren't for strategic considerations and the need to siege the city, he would be able to bring 10,000 cavalry to seven in and seven out in the Song Dynasty.

However, out of professionalism, he still sent fewer spies to explore the way ahead, and not being afraid of ambushes does not mean ignoring ambushes.

As he was walking, a few sentries ran back from the front: "Commander Wanfu, there is a trace of the Song army five miles ahead." ”

"Yo! There is really a Song army who is not afraid of death! Usuke Moxi sighed silently and asked, "How many people are there on the other side?" ”

Sentinel: "The Song army is all gathered on several hills, the small ones can't be counted, there should be seven or eight thousand people, and all of them are infantry. ”

Usue Moxi: "Revisit! ”

"Yes!" The sentinel departed again.

Hearing this news, Wu Jie Moxi was indeed a little unexpected, his first feeling was that the cunning Song Jun must be playing some kind of conspiracy, or that he was setting a trap for himself, otherwise with such a little Song Jun, he would simply come to die.

So, he hurriedly shouted to several of his commanders: "Order the troops to strengthen their vigilance!" Send all the sentinels to see the five miles away. ”

"Order!"

A group of commanders led the order to run to their team, and soon, this group of Liao troops was out of all directions.

However, a team of sentry detectives found no trace of the other Song troops, and Ujie Moxi had to continue his advance with many doubts. Of course, at this moment, he was only puzzled, and he didn't have much to worry about, after all, he was bringing cavalry, as long as he was not surrounded, he wanted to leave and stay according to his mood.

Soon after, the hills covered with the Song army finally appeared in Wujie Moxi's field of vision, and he carefully looked at the arrangement of the Song army, and it was obvious that this group of Song troops was waiting for him here early, otherwise they would not have so much time to dig so many ladders on the mountain.

All this shows that they are coming at their own cavalry, but what gives them the courage to fight their own cavalry?

At this moment, he still felt that Song Jun must be playing tricks, although he was not afraid of Song Jun's tricks, but he didn't want to be a general who was tricked by others. Therefore, he parked his troops at a distance of two miles from the Song army, which was safe for the cavalry, and they could advance and retreat freely. At the same time, he sent a large number of sentries to the periphery of the Song army.

At the same time, Huo Wangxi also discovered them, stood on the sentry tower and shouted: "The Liao army is here, everyone is in place, ready to fight!" ”

Then the soldiers on the three hills moved quickly, and on the first two steps were all two rows of infantry, and on the upper steps were a row of shield soldiers and a row of crossbowmen, and at the top of the hill were all crossbowmen, and on the top of the hill was a world of bed crossbows. Huo Wangxi arranged 4,000 men and 40 bed crossbows on his own hill, while the other two hills had only 3,000 men and 30 bed crossbows.

On the surface, there were 10,000 people in the two armies of Song and Liao, but after careful calculation, Huo Wangxi only had five brigades of infantry in his hands, plus hundreds of cavalry used as scouts, a total of less than 7,000 people, and the rest were logistics troops. These logistics soldiers also participate in military training in peacetime, but the intensity is a little lower, so Huo Wangxi arranged them all in the back.

Of course, not all the cavalry of the Liao army are elite, and some of them are subordinates.

In short, the Song army was all ready according to Huo Wangxi's arrangement, with a forest of shield walls and crossbow arrows, and he could use his tower defense tactics when the Liao army came.

That's right! It's tower defense!

Huo Wangxi's purpose is to build a tower defense system with the help of these three mountains. The bed crossbows on its three hills can cover the entire area at once, ensuring that support fire can be fired at a certain point as needed at any time. The stepped crossbowmen can not only play a role in protecting the position, but also give full play to the advantages of the terrain and attack all invading enemies from a high position.

"Whoop! Why is this Liao army so ink, and it hasn't attacked for so long, what are the pestles doing there? Huo Wangxi held up his clairvoyance and saw that the Liao army was not moving, not only was he a little anxious.

Passivity is the biggest obstacle to his tactics, if the enemy does not attack, no matter how well he repairs this tower defense, it will be useless. And the Liao army, which he was sure to attack obediently, did not seem to be as impulsive as he imagined this time, he didn't know that the Liao army general in front of him was a "timid" general under the reckless Xiao Xunbu.

However, after repeatedly confirming that the Song army had no tricks, greed finally triumphed over reason, and the Song army on the three lonely hills in front of him made him swallow his saliva unconsciously.

After several commanders asked for battle many times, Wujie Moxi finally issued an order: "The troops are divided into three routes, divide and surround the Song army on the three mountains, and kill them all as soon as possible!" ”

"Rush, ......"

The commanders yelled as they led their ranks and began to charge.

……

The staff officer of the Song army, who had been observing the battlefield situation, immediately shouted: "Commander, the Liao army has begun to attack!" ”

Huo Wangxi immediately got up and looked at it, and said happily: "The Liao army is finally still not there!" Now it's our turn to perform, but we can't let the Liao army think that we have neglected them! ”

Since the Liao army was charged, Huo Wangxi did not hide with them, and when the Liao army entered the range of the horse trap dug in advance, he also ordered: "All bed crossbows are fired!" ”

A thousand thin arrows of bed crossbows were shot out from the bed crossbows on the three hills, just in time to hit the Liao army whose speed plummeted due to falling into the pit. After two rounds of bed crossbow attacks, the Liao army, which had left hundreds of corpses, finally rushed through the pit area and rushed down the mountain with a quick pace.

Seeing that there were still a few hundred meters to the foot of the mountain, the Liao cavalry running in front began to fall to the ground again, and also affected many cavalry who followed them. If you don't look closely, it's really hard to find those big iron nails buried in the thin layer of soil, which they hurt the hooves of the horses and hooves of the Liao army.

The Song army's bed crossbow seized the opportunity again and gave them a round, and the Liao army rushed through the second trap of the Song army at the cost of falling a few hundred people again.

At this time, the foot of the mountain was indeed very close, and some Liao soldiers had already taken out their bows and arrows, ready to carry out the first round of suppressive shooting, and then arrived at the mountain to attack the mountain.

Wujie Moxi saw that his soldiers encountered the ghost tricks of the Song army one after another, and many soldiers fell, which made him very distressed, these are all his own people! Fortunately, most of his troops passed safely, and he couldn't help but slander: "The cunning Song army, I know that you will not obediently wait to be cut off, this ghost trick is finally over!" See what tricks you have to stop my Great Liao's Iron Cavalry! (To be continued.) )
