"The king, his subordinates are incompetent!" Xiao Rugu knelt in front of Xiao Xiaoxian again.

Xiao Xiaoxian said expressionlessly: "You are indeed quite incompetent!" It's not just you, we're all so incompetent! ”

"Please condemn the king!" Xiao Rugu knelt on the ground and defended: "The subordinates are not afraid of death, but the crossbow arrows of the Song army are too accurate, and the brothers have done their best, if you want to punish the small ones!" ”

Xiao Xiaoxian: "You're right! This king also saw that the level of crossbow arrows of the Song army was indeed very high. And not only that, their trebuchets are also very accurate, just this moment, we have to trebuchets have all been reimbursed by them. ”

"What?" Xiao Rugu looked up at Xiao Xiaoxian: "King, how is this possible?" We've worked so hard to build a hundred! It's only been half an hour, how can this be? ”

"Alas!" Xiao Xiaoxian took a long breath: "This king doesn't want to believe it, but that's the way it is!" In fact, this king has been thinking about a question just now, what do you say our Great Liao Kingdom has done all these years? It seems that apart from eating, drinking, and having fun, there has been no progress at all, but the Song Kingdom has not been idle all these years, so we are still here to think that we are ......"

Xiao Rugu: "King, you ...... Why are you so depressed? Don't forget, we still have tens of thousands of warriors, and it is a matter of time before we take Waqiao Pass, don't worry, our subordinates will lead people to continue to charge! ”

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Xiao stopped him first, hesitated for a moment before saying: "To tell you a bad news, this king just got the news that the 50,000 troops on the right side of my Great Liao's southern expedition have been wiped out, just yesterday!" ”

"How so?" Xiao Langgu was stunned: "That's a full 50,000 Liao elites, how could it be that the entire army was wiped out in such a few days?" You...... You can't have listened to the rumors that Song Jun deliberately walked! ”

Xiao Xiaoxian shook his head slightly: "This is not a rumor, nor is it spread by Song Jun. To tell you the truth, this king still has some connections in the Chinese army, and the Queen Mother wants to suppress this matter, but there is no leaky wall in the world, which is the fundamental reason why the Queen Mother has been urging us to seize the time to attack, and the Queen Mother can't wait! ”

"This ...... This...... That...... So what do we do? Xiao Rugu asked with a slight stammer.

Xiao Xiaoxian: "You listen to this king, it's good that you know about this, if you let others know, don't blame this king for cleaning you up!" ”

With a bang, Xiao Langgu slammed in front of him: "King, my subordinates have been mixed with you in this life, life is your person, death is your ghost!" ”

"Good!" Xiao Xiao pulled him up first, and said with satisfaction: "You can rest assured that this king will definitely not treat you badly!" In view of the current uncertainty, and the combat effectiveness of the Song army seems to exceed our expectations, this king feels that we should pay more attention. ”

Xiao Rugu: "Please command the king!" ”

Xiao Xiaoxian: "Today's battle has been fought for a long time, this king sees that the Song army at the head of the city is still so tenacious, you quickly add our super cloud ladder, and then send a team of elite cavalry to occupy the city, otherwise if we continue to fight like this, our army will suffer too many casualties." ”

Xiao Rugu: "Yes, King! ”

Xiao Rugu cheered up and prepared to behave well after officially joining the new backer, and he should send a letter of nomination. However, as soon as he lifted the curtain of the tent, a herald rushed in, but fortunately he reacted quickly, or else he would have crashed.

"Forgive your sins! The little one is wrong, the little one is wrong......" The herald hurriedly lay on the ground and apologized to Xiao Langgu.

Xiao Xiaogu was about to teach him a lesson, but Xiao Xiao spoke first: "What are you doing in a panic?" What's wrong? ”

The herald hurriedly turned his head to Xiao Xiaoxian: "Back to the king, it's not good!" A large number of Song troops suddenly appeared on the hills two miles away from the left flank of our army, and they were rapidly advancing towards our army. ”

"What?" Xiao Xiaoxian exclaimed: "How is it possible? Didn't this king shoot a sentry detective? Why did they go? ”

Herald: "King, the little ones don't know wow!" I haven't received their warning, and this Song army suddenly appeared. ”

Xiao Rugu: "King, what do you think we can do?" ”

Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment: "In this way, Rough Gu, you will immediately lead the cavalry to this king to stop the Song army!" ”

"Yes, my lord! Let's go! These Song soldiers are too arrogant, they dare to leave their kennel and run out, their subordinates must give them some color! After Xiao Langgu finished speaking, he ran out smoothly, and this time no one came to interrupt his action.

Xiao Xiaoxian said to the herald again: "Immediately pass the order, order all the siege troops to speed up, and strive to capture the city as soon as possible, and the first to enter the city will be greatly rewarded by this king!" ”

"Whoa!"

Waiting for Xiao Qiaogu to pull out his cavalry troops and set up a posture in a relatively flat place under the city, Qi Luosheng also took his Qinglong 3rd Army to line up in formation, with the brigade as a unit, divided into ten phalanxes, with guns and shields outside, and crossbowmen inside, and took the initiative to attack the Liao cavalry not far away with a slow and steady pace.

Soon after, the rolling iron cavalry of the Liao army and the snail-like military formation of the Song army collided together, except for a bunch of human flesh skewers and a few unlucky Song troops were knocked away, there was not a trace of love between the two armies.

Xiao Xiaoxian has been paying attention to the attack of his cavalry, and at the beginning, the cavalry based on their own impact power, it did block the offensive of the Song army, and there was a tendency to retreat. However, this was only the beginning, as time went on, the Song army gradually stabilized its formation, and under the all-round attack of crossbow arrows and spears, it began to advance steadily, and the Liao cavalry, which had lost its ability to maneuver, was defeated one after another.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiaoxian suddenly had a frightened thought in his heart. It just so happened that at this time, the super ladder he had painstakingly prepared also broke out with a final wail under the focused care of the Song Army's trebuchet, and it was only a few dozen meters away, but it never completed its mission.

At this time, Xiao Xiaoxian gave the order to retreat like a ghost. And the soldiers who were besieging the city were already fighting very hard, and when they received the order to retreat, they did not hesitate to run to the rear.

And Xiao Gugu was also planning to withdraw the army because of the unsuccessful attack, preparing for the next impact, when he suddenly heard Ming Jin withdraw his troops, he hurriedly ran back to Xiao Xiaoxian and asked, "King, what's the matter?" Why did you suddenly withdraw your troops? ”

"Don't be impatient!" Xiao Xiao waved his hand at him first: "You fought with the Song army just now, and this king saw it." This group of Song troops was much more tenacious than this king imagined, they were very disciplined, and the formation changes and coordination were very tacit, which was obviously the result of a long period of specialized training. It is certain that this group of Song troops is definitely the most elite troops of the Song Kingdom, and this king is worried that if this continues, he may be in danger of falling into a two-sided attack. Therefore, this king plans to withdraw for the time being, see the situation clearly, and then say, no matter what the battle situation is, the most important thing is that we have soldiers in our hands! ”

Xiao Langgu: "The king is wise! ”

Xiao Xiaoxian: "Don't be busy flattering first, you continue to lead the cavalry to continue to block the Song army, delay time, this king can lead the troops to retreat, and when you reach a safe distance, you are breaking away from the Song army to join this king!" ”

Xiao Rugu: "Subordinates obey orders!" Take care, King! ”

Xiao Xiao patted him on the shoulder first and said, "Take care too!" Go for it! ”

……

After Xiao Xiao first gave the order to retreat, he threw down the broken siege equipment and quickly retreated with the Liao infantry, and did not stop again to rest until ten miles away. Although, Wang Chao soon sent the 3rd Army of the White Tiger to join the 3rd Army of the Qinglong Army to pursue together, but Xiao Langgu has been leading the cavalry to deal with them, relying on the strength of the cavalry speed, successfully blocked the pursuit of the Song army, and won valuable time for the retreat of his infantry.

Wang Chao saw that he couldn't do anything, so he had no choice but to withdraw the army. The battle of Waqiaoguan, which lasted one day, successfully repelled the attack of the Liao army, but did not achieve the effect he wanted in advance, and the battle damage of the Liao army was far lower than he expected.

Of course, this is Wang Chao's idea, and Xiao Xiaoxian doesn't think so. When he retreated ten miles and stopped to rest, he found that the siege casualties on this day were far more than he expected, and even after so many preparations, there were still a large number of soldiers who were killed by the continuous rain of arrows of the Song army because of their lack of cooperation.

Xiao Xiaogu dragged his tired body into Xiao Xiaoxian's tent with a body covered in dust, and said to Xiao Xiaoxian, who was in a daze: "King, it's here!" ”

"Oh" Xiao Xiao came back to his senses first and asked, "How is the situation of the soldiers?" How's the morale? ”

Xiao Langgu said very depressedly: "Back to the king, to be honest, the situation is not very good!" In today's one-day battle, we lost a total of more than 10,000 infantrymen, and many of these people who survived were wounded. Moreover, our cavalry also lost more than half of the two battles before and after...... The subordinates said something unpleasant, we can't fight this battle! ”

Xiao Xiao sighed first: "Who said it wasn't! This king can't figure it out, the Song army also had crossbow arrows before, I didn't see how powerful they were! Why are they so fierce now? And the endless stream of arrows, which almost covered the entire ground, have they been hoarding arrows day and night for decades? ”

Xiao Langgu: "King, hearing you say this, my subordinates feel that the Song Kingdom must have been premeditated, not to mention that they can't get so many arrows without decades of effort, even if they get out of the battlefield that can't be transported in a short time, the only reason is that they know our military trends in advance, so they can deploy them in a targeted manner." ”

It seems that this baby's heart is still quite delicate!

Xiao Xiaoxian looked at Xiao Xiao's burly body and nodded: "You're right, in fact, from the very beginning, this king has a feeling that everything is under the control of others, and we ourselves are like a blindfolded lion, not knowing where to stretch out our claws." Especially the army on the right led by the king of the North Courtyard will be wiped out inexplicably, and this king can't figure it out anyway! ”

Xiao Langgu: "King, what do you say we should do next?" Keep fighting? ”

Xiao Xiaoxian shook his head: "The Song Dynasty has made it clear that the dishes have been prepared a long time ago, just waiting for us to come to the banquet, this king is not stupid, how can they let them get their wish!" According to this king, let's wait and see the changes first, and use static braking to be the best policy! ”

Xiao Rugu: "But ...... However, how did the Queen Mother explain? ”

"Confession?" Xiao Xiao first asked rhetorically: "If this king is not mistaken, this is because someone in the court does not want the queen mother and her old man to be satisfied!" ”

Xiao Rugu: "King, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Huh!" Xiao Xiaoxian suddenly smiled and asked inexplicably: "Did you know the specific plan of our attack on the Song Dynasty?" ”

"King, you are laughing, you are at this level, how can you know this!" Xiao Langgu smiled dumbly.

Xiao Xiaoxian: "You're right! It's impossible for you to know at your level, and it's not just your level, many people don't know. It can be said that not many people know about the entire Song attack plan, and everyone is a very weighty person. However, this plan still let Song Guo know, and he knew it in such detail, do you know what it means? (To be continued.) )
