When the charge was launched, the cavalry crossbow released arrows from a long distance, coupled with the rain of arrows of the crossbow team on the frontal battlefield, the Liao army that rushed into the position of the Song army faced the enemy on both sides, and the shield in the hands of the cavalry could not take care of one side but not the other, and many Liao soldiers died in the arrows of these two attacks.

Because the speed of the war horse charge too fast, and the time required to load the crossbow is relatively long, and it is not convenient to load on the horse, each cavalry only has time to shoot one arrow, and then can only hang the crossbow on the saddle, remove the shield and long knife, and start a white-knuckle battle.

At the forefront of the cavalry on the left flank were two horse armies, one was the Guangrui army guarding the horse army division, both commanded by Long Qi. The other is the horse army of the palace front division - the Qingsu Army, which is an elite division that followed Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi to conquer the south and the north. The commander is the famous general Mi Xin of the Northern Song Dynasty!

Instead of using a crossbow, Yoneshin used his own strongbow to shoot the moon. This bow belongs to the strongest Nine Buckets. It takes up to three hundred Song Jin of super arm strength to pull it away, and the power is stronger than ordinary divine crossbows. And it can get on the arrow quickly.

Before the rest of the Song army could start firing arrows, Mi Xin's strong bow had already killed several Liao cavalry. After rushing into the range of the ordinary divine crossbow, a series of arrows were shot, and several Liao soldiers fell from their horses with arrows.

Mi Xin hung the moon-shooting bow in his hand on the saddle, took off his sword, and rushed into the Liao army.

The cavalry of the Ma army was too fast, and the powerful impact tore apart the two flanks of the Liao army that charged into the Song army's position. Song Jun's long knife flashed with a cold light, waving it. Many Liao soldiers were screaming and falling from their horses.

The Liao army could not withstand such an impact, and the formation began to be a little chaotic. Although Ming Jin did not withdraw his troops, the soldiers had already begun to retreat.

Meanwhile. Frontal defensive positions, spearmen and axemen also began to pursue the scattered Liao army. The crossbowmen, who had distanced themselves because of the retreat, were even more useful. The strong crossbow bow and arrow shot at the Liao cavalry like a flying locust, although the Liao army had a shield to resist, but in the well-coordinated cross-fire arrows of the Song army, there were still many Liao soldiers who fell from the horse.

Finally, the Liao army's position sounded the gong of the defenders. The Liao soldiers were amnesty, and some panicked Liao soldiers hurriedly turned their horses and galloped back. This time the back was exposed, and many soldiers were hit by arrows. But on the whole, the retreat of the Liao army was still orderly, and did not give the Song army more opportunities to take advantage of.

On the position of the Song army after retreating. The corpses are all over the field, and they are terrible to see.

The sudden attack of the cavalry led by Mi Xin and others killed and wounded hundreds of Liao cavalry, and successfully smashed the second round of the Liao army's charge. Then he led the team to withdraw to the Song army camp.

Qiu Youshou, who was hiding under the round shield, heard the gong sound of the Liao army's withdrawal. He also heard the sound of iron hooves in the distance, and then he pushed away the shield, feeling as if his body was about to fall apart, and it hurt everywhere.

He struggled to get up and ran towards the direction where the eldest brother Qiu Youcai had fallen: "Big brother! Eldest brother! ”

There was no answer, and there were screams and moans of wounded soldiers everywhere, and horses that had lost their owners were scurrying around. The Song army ambulances rushed up and carried the wounded soldiers back.

Qiu Youshou staggered forward in the chaos. While shouting for the eldest brother, he lowered his head and flipped over the corpses.

At this time, a horn sounded in the camp of the Song army. Qiu Youshou heard it, this was an order to retreat. In other words, the Song army was to retreat to the south.

South? Isn't there also an iron cavalry of the Liao army in the south? Where can I evacuate?

Qiu Youshou flashed this thought in his heart, this horn made him even more anxious, if the army retreated south, what would the eldest brother do? Is it left to the Liao army?

No! If it weren't for the eldest brother sacrificing his life to save him, he would have died a long time ago. What's more, he has already lost the body of his second brother, and he can't leave his eldest brother behind, even if he has to carry it on his back!

Qiu Youshou couldn't care about the eldest brother's reprimand for letting him save his life, and with gratitude to the eldest brother, he continued to rummage through the pile of corpses for the eldest brother Qiu Youcai.

The Song army began to retreat slowly and orderly in an orderly manner.

Seeing the army going away, and then looking at the Liao army in the distance who was preparing to charge in the distance, Qiu Youshou was even more anxious, he cried and continued to search.

Finally, he saw a piece of clothing pressed under the corpse, which had been partially torn, and the robe that the eldest brother tore off to bandage his wounds was exactly like this.

"Big brother!" Qiu Youshou was ecstatic, pounced, and laboriously lifted the corpses of a Liao army soldier and a Song army soldier pressed on it, and turned the person who was lying face down to take a look, sure enough, it was the eldest brother Qiu Youcai!

Qiu Youshou is overjoyed, and he can't check whether the eldest brother is alive, so it's important to take it away first. He tugged his big brother to his feet. I heard a painful moan from the eldest brother's mouth.

Big Brother is still alive!

Qiu Youshou was ecstatic, and shouted "Big brother!" in his mouth. Let's go! He put his arm around his neck and pulled him up with the other.

The Song army, which was still alive around, had basically withdrawn to the Song army's main array, and there were still some ambulance soldiers who were treating the wounded.

At this time, he saw a Song army ambulance soldier in front of him leading a horse and immediately carrying a wounded soldier back, and he hurriedly shouted: "Brother! The brother who led the horse in front, please wait, use the horse to carry my eldest brother, he is also injured and can't walk! ”

The soldier glanced back, hesitated, and said, "He probably won't survive, don't save it, the Liao army's charge is about to start, hurry back to the position, otherwise we won't survive!" ”

"No!" Qiu Youshou cried and shouted, "My eldest brother is still alive, he killed more than a dozen Liao soldiers by himself, and saved my life, he must be saved!" ”

The ambulance soldier glanced at the movement of the Liao army again, then let go of the reins and ran over, helped him support Qiu Youcai, came to the horse, and the two worked together to lift him onto the war horse.

At this moment, a heart-palpitating horn came from the Liao army's position, and then the earth-shaking shouts of killing resounded throughout the whole world, and under the impact of countless iron hooves, the earth shook violently again.

The ambulance's face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "Run!" ”

The two of them staggered forward with their horses, and ran a few steps, but the wounded soldier who had been carrying them couldn't sit still and fell off his horse, while Qiu Youcai was lying on his horse, but he was fine.

Qiu Youshou was afraid that his eldest brother would also fall, so he turned around and held his eldest brother.

The ambulance let go of the reins, scattered his legs and ran.

Qiu Youshou didn't care about anything else, flew on the horse, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and galloped towards the position. Soon caught up with the ambulance soldier and said urgently: "Get on the horse!" ”

The ambulance soldiers found that the Liao army behind was very fast, and had already chased into the previous position, if they relied on their feet, they were afraid that they would not be able to run back to their own position, but there were already two people immediately, and they could not sit down to three. He was also in a hurry, jumped up, and suddenly hugged the horse's neck.

Fortunately, the war horse was the cavalry killed by the Song army, it was light armor, and it knew how to return to the position, so it could still gallop with three people, and finally rushed into the Song army's position when the Liao army was about to catch up.

The spear and axe formations that were defending in front of them moved out of the way, allowing them to rush in. All the way to the crossbowmen. The war horse was stopped by the Song soldiers. The ambulance soldier let go, his face was as white as dirt, and when he looked back, the brutal battle ahead had begun again. The shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth.

The ambulance soldier led the horse and said to Qiu Youshou, who was panting right away: "Both of you are not lightly injured, I will take you to treatment!" ”

The military headquarters of the Song Army had a medical treatment center, and there were military doctors accompanying the team to treat the wounded soldiers. The ambulance soldiers dragged them forward, and they had to wait for a meal until they reached the place. The wounded soldiers sent from the war zones on three sides were concentrated here, and they were everywhere horizontally and vertically, and dozens of soldiers were busy applying medicine and bandaging splints.

The ambulance first helped Qiu Youshou dismount, then helped Qiu Youcai down, let him lie on the ground, touched his neck, and could feel the pulse beating, and said happily: "It's okay, it's not dead, but the bones and internal organs seem to be injured." - You pinch others, I'll call Lang Zhong! ”

"Okay, thank you!" Qiu Youshou said gratefully.

"Thank you, if you hadn't let me get on the horse just now, I'm afraid I'd die! We can be regarded as brothers in life and death, and if we can help, we will naturally help! ”

Qiu Youshou smiled innocently and nodded: "My name is Qiu Youshou, please ask my brother to respect his name?" ”

"My name is Gu Gua. I'll go find Lang Zhong first! ”

The ambulance soldier walked quickly, and Qiu Youshou unfastened his brother's armor and raised his neck to make his beard smoother. Then pinch his man's mid-hole hard.

After a while, Qiu Youcai let out a rough breath, moaned twice, and finally opened his eyes, glanced blankly, saw Qiu Youshou, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Third brother!" You, you're alive! ”

"Yes, big brother, you're hurt, very badly. Don't move, we are now in the Chinese army's medical center, and we have already gone to find you in the army, and we will come to treat your injuries immediately. ”

Qiu Youcai raised his hand to grab the third brother's hand, but he found that only one left hand could be raised, and his right hand did not move at all. Obviously, his right arm has been fractured, and there is more than one place!

Qiu Youcai groaned in pain and moved his legs again, fortunately, the two legs were still his own, although they were also in severe pain.

However, what worried him the most was a burning and constant pain in his chest and abdomen, and his heart sank, knowing that his internal organs must have been trampled by the horse's hooves. If the internal organs have been ruptured, then there is only one way to die!

He felt groggy and said, "How's the battle?" ”

"It's still fighting! This is already the third wave of the Liao army's charge. We've had a lot of deaths, dead bodies everywhere, and I've pulled you out of the pile of corpses. Hehe" Qiu Youshou pretended to smile easily, but his smile looked more ugly than crying.

Qiu Youcai also smiled bitterly and said: "This time, I'm only afraid that we are more auspicious, the Liao army has too many people, and the people in the north alone are afraid that they are similar to us, not to mention the east and south." The next step I estimate is that we will have to wait for dark to forcibly break through to Taihang Mountain. ”

Qiu Youshou nodded and said, "Big brother, don't worry, we have a lot of people, we will be fine, we will definitely be able to break through." (To be continued......)
