Chapter 632: Return to Color

The Liao soldiers in this camp immediately fell into confusion, they could not find their horses, they could not find their generals, and they could not even find their own troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The same scene was played out in several other lost camps. The Liao troops, who had just relied on a sneak attack to gain the advantage of deciding their surnames, did not expect that the Song army would return the favor to them in the same way so quickly.

In the initial stages of the battle, the sudden attack of the Song army obviously caught the Liao people by surprise, and it was not until the two camps were attacked by the Song army that the Liao recovered from the chaos.

Once again, the speed advantage of the Liao cavalry was fully manifested, and they concentrated their absolutely superior forces at a speed one step faster than the Song army, and quickly pressed down on the Song Dynasty soldiers who were in motion.

The Song army, which was attacking the third camp, was seriously threatened by the rear road, Li Wei's troops were ordered to take up the task of blocking the attack outside the city, and a thousand sergeants lined up in a formation, facing the oncoming tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, Li Wei's chest rose and fell sharply.

Countless bows and arrows pierced the black night with that fierce roar, hitting the shield wall in front of Li Wei, and the continuous sound had no rhythm at all, and it made people feel unusually irritable when they reached the middle of the ears.

The Liao people on the opposite side were getting closer and closer, and although the crossbowmen of the Song army were shooting continuously, they could not stop the enemy more than ten times their size from approaching. The scar on Li Wei's face jumped unconsciously, he didn't need to look at it, he knew the distance between the other party and himself from the sound of the horse's hooves.

"Flamethrower!"

The ten-year-old Liao recruit followed behind their captain, and rushed over with a shield to protect his horse's head, seeing that he was about to rush into the Song army's military formation, his heart was full of confidence in victory.

The captain said that the last move of these Song troops is to stretch out their spears from behind the shield, and some Liao cavalry will be stabbed to death by the Song army, but it doesn't matter, because they are fast enough to break through that shield wall, and then the rest is that the Song army is defeated and fled, and the Liao people follow behind and slash and kill.

The captain pulled his throat in front and shouted for the rest of his life: "Kill! ”

The Khitan boy had already raised his spear, and he was about to be stabbed to death by the Song army who was blocking his path.

At this time, dozens of fire dragons erupted from the Song army's military formation, and he didn't react at all to what was going on, but he felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, and then a flash of heat spread all over his body, and then he felt bursts of tearing pain on his skin, and the war horse had already thrown him off.

The Khitan boy let out a miserable howl, rolling his body in vain, he wanted to roll out the flames on his body, but the fire dragon enveloped him again, he subconsciously stood up, ran desperately, he didn't know where to run, he just wanted to leave this place, leave this heat.

He was originally moving forward, but the direction in the panic did not change, and he soon rushed to the front of the Song army's policy. At this time, he had no horses, no weapons, no shields, all the clothes on his body were burned, his face was burned, and his skin smelled like when the roasted meat was cooked.

"Poof!"

A Song Jun's spear pierced his body, and when the nerves in his body fell into numbness for a moment, the young man felt a trace of happiness in his heart, and finally stopped the pain.

He didn't know who killed him, only to see the spear retract from the hole into the shield wall of the Song army.

The attack formation of the Liao people in front of them was already chaotic, and the fastest and most courageous Liao soldiers who rushed were struggling and lost in the sea of fire, and the remaining frightened Liao soldiers or frightened war horses did not dare to move forward anymore, and they retreated one after another.

If the Song army was cavalry, killing it at this time would definitely make the Liao people crush for thousands of miles, but unfortunately, all the soldiers in Ren Fu's hands were infantry.

But even the infantry Li Wei drew his sword: "Shield wall!" Sortie! ”

Even the infantry, go up when it's time to go up. It wasn't the first time Li Wei had been on the battlefield, and he knew that it would be a fool's errand to stay here and wait for the Liao people to sort out the chaotic army and kill it again.

So even if there was no speed, even if the number of people was far less than the other party, the Song army still walked forward and slowly pushed the phalanx forward!

"Those who offend my homeland!"

"Kill!"

"Invaders of our land!"

"Kill!"

"Insult to my people!"

"Kill!"

"Despise our mighty!"

"Kill!"

The Song army shouted neat slogans, took firm steps, and pressed towards the Liao soldiers with that fierce murderous aura.

This really made many veterans of the Liao Kingdom look at the difference! Is this still the Song Army of the past? In the past, when 1,000 Liao soldiers encountered 10,000 Song infantry outside the city, the Song infantry would rush to flee into the city.

But this time, they actually came up! And the momentum was unusually pressing, so that the war horses under the crotches of the Liao soldiers raised their front hooves.

"Rush forward! Kill all these Song pigs! ”

The general of the Liao State pointed his long knife forward, he did not allow anyone to challenge his force, and he could not accept that the Song army, which had always trembled in front of his horse's hooves, was now so aggressive.

The Liao cavalry, who had reorganized their formation, rushed up again, this time they became much smarter, not only charging head-on, but also detouring on both sides and outflanking from behind at the same time.

At this time, the Song army also began a full-scale attack, and those Song troops stationed in other camps saw that the main camp had launched an attack on the enemy, and they also lined up in a neat formation to fight.

The interspersed, divided, and surrounded by the Liao people constantly caused damage to the Song Dynasty troops, and the small groups of people who broke away from the brigade were swallowed up by the Liao people in the blink of an eye. However, the Song army's array also caused great damage to the opponent, and the Liao people simply did not have enough sharp weapons to break through. As the phalanx grew larger and larger, the intensity of the various weapons gradually intensified.

Both sides want to defeat their opponents in the way they are best at, and the key is whether the Liao people can stop the phalanxes of the Song army from slowly leaning together. Can you stop the Song army from seizing those cities that fell during the day?

Fierce battles raged all night, with several hand-to-hand fights, and many casualties on both sides.

The whole battlefield was full of severed limbs and soldiers who fell to the ground wailing, and the war horse wandered back in front of the body of the knight of the Liao Kingdom and refused to leave, and his mouth let out a neighing sound, as if he wanted to arouse the knight who fell to the ground. Those who fell to the ground one by one, Song Jun still held his weapons tightly in his hands.

Less than half of Li Wei's troops remained, and they managed to merge with the Song army that had rushed out of another camp.

The Song army, which was stationed in the city, could support their comrades who were still fighting outside the city with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows and stone cannons. Often when a phalanx is besieged by the Liao, the blow on the head of the city will cause great casualties to the Liao.

In the bloody battle for two consecutive hours, the competition between the two sides is actually combat quality, in this regard, the Song army is obviously slightly stronger than the Liao [***] team, and some small teams are cut by the Liao people, even if they know what kind of doom they are facing, they actually do not flinch. Even the lone soldiers, four or five gathered together, dared to put on a battle formation and continue to fight against the Liao.

What makes the Liao people unbearable the most is that when they fight to this extent, the Liao people, whether it is the command of the officers or the reaction of the sergeants, are not as flexible and fast as usual. It stands to reason that the Song army should be like this, but the soldiers of the Song army can still flexibly carry various weapons in their hands at this time.

Their physical strength is also beyond the limit now, but the words in the booklet that each person has been deeply imprinted in Song Jun's mind, and they don't have to think about what they should do, they don't have to judge. Do everything according to what the booklet says, long-distance bows and crossbows, slightly closer with flamethrowers, and closer with spears, and use swords and shields in melee, without any chaos.

This really made the Liao people suffer a great loss, and they were killed all over the ground. If it weren't for the absolute superiority in numbers, I'm afraid that it would have been defeated by the Song people by now.

There is also one of the biggest problems faced by the Liao people, that is, their commander Xiao Da did not come back for some reason.

The Liao soldiers will not go too far to plunder, Xiao Da has already heard the movement here, and he also wants to come back, but he can't come back.

He didn't know that landlords like Wei Qiang had already signed an offensive and defensive alliance with each other under the organization of the local government, and if Wei Qiang was beaten here, other places would not give appropriate reinforcements, and they would have to pay Wei Qiang compensation after the war, and it would be calculated in terms of good land.

In other words, Wei Qiang is surrounded by Liao people here, and those Zhuangzi must give some assistance.

During the day, they did not dare to come, but at night it was different, this was the territory of the Song people, and they knew much more about the nearby terrain than the Liao people. As soon as it was dark, other landlords of the Song Dynasty rushed to this place. This really surprised Xiao Da.

After discovering that the Liao people were surrounding this place, and Wei Qiang was still holding on, the private soldiers and villagers of those villages immediately launched an attack on the Liao troops. Although most of these attacks were defeated by the Liao army, those Song people did not go far, they hid in a corner near here, and attacked the lone Liao soldiers.

Until the fireworks of the battle over there could be seen clearly here, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing were also heard, the villagers of the Song Dynasty entrenched around Xiao Da had reached tens of thousands.

The sky is so dark, the road of life is unfamiliar, the number of people on the other side is several times their own, and the people of the Song Dynasty have all accounted for the three factors that they think can determine the outcome of the war! Does Xiao Da dare to move at this time?

If it weren't for the fact that it seemed a little tight over there, he would have thought about where to get some people to come over.

Those rebels were actually very afraid, most of them were still villagers during the day, except for a few private soldiers, the others had no training at all, and they came to fight the Liao people with their own hoes, which made them very frightened.

But if they don't come, they can't do it, first of all, those landlords will not let them go, and secondly, the Liao people will not let them go. People are here, and they are still thinking about their wives and children at home. Wei Qiang's resistance won enough time for other villages, the old and weak, women and children have been transferred, but the Song people are like this, they don't see the safety of their relatives with their own eyes, and they always have some worries in their hearts.

Even if they saw it with their own eyes, they thought that it would be best if this battle could not be fought, because if they died, what would happen to the wives and children in the family? So they try to get themselves as far back as possible, and if the situation is not good, they can run.

The ones who really dared to rush were the private soldiers with a total of less than 3,000 people, and these people still did not command in a unified manner.

In this way, Xiao Da surrounded Wei Qiang, and those rebels outside surrounded Xiao Da, and both sides did not dare to attack.

So far, the situation here has entered a stalemate, and Xu Huaide and the Liao people have also entered a stalemate, and both sides lack the means to break the situation.
