The Western Liao army, which was blocking the invasion of the enemy from the south, all had a feeling of escaping death at this moment, and more of a gratitude mixed with shame, and it was the mercy of the enemy's men that allowed them to survive. This strange psychology caused their morale to plummet, and of course they lost the courage to turn around and fight again. And it happened that the 2nd Infantry Brigade, which was attacking from the north at this moment, made a false shot to bypass Isanna Mountain and detoured back to the mountain pass between the Storey Mountains, if the Liao army did not retreat at this time, it would be cut off by the Song army and attacked by the Song army before and after.

The cavalry seems to be majestic, but in fact, once it is besieged by the infantry, it will not be able to exert its powerful impact, and it is a nightmare to fall into a melee. Now the Liao army blocking the southern invasion was under the attack of the Song army on two routes, and the room for maneuver was very small, and it was impossible to give full play to its strengths, not to mention that they still had terrifying firearms in their hands, so they did not answer, and took the opportunity to retreat into the camp with a gray and wizened head.

Unable to defeat the Song army that had appeared on the right flank, and the road to the mountain pass was occupied, Xiao Hanlira found himself in a bad situation. To the south of the camp, two infantry groups of the Song army appeared, repulsing their own blocking forces and blocking the road to the south; To the east is the main force of the Song army, and it is estimated that 20,000 tribal cavalry are pressing towards the camp, which should be the main force of the Song army; To the west is the Isanna Mountain, where his camp is based, and he chose the camp here because the back side of the mountain is steep, and it is difficult for people and horses to walk, which can prevent the Song army from sneaking from behind, but at this moment it has become an obstacle for him to go west.

Now the Song army that appeared in the north detoured back to the west, where it became the only direction where there were no enemy troops. But the north is already on the edge of the desert, and it is sparsely populated, and if you break through to the north, you will have to abandon the big camp. The Liao army's heavy grain and grass were hoarded here, which made it difficult for Xiao Hanli to give up. And he thought that the Song army's deployment of troops in this way was the use of 'encirclement of three and one'. induced himself to break through to the north, but there was no food and grass and could not be replenished. Under the pursuit of the Song army, he could not hold out for a few days, and he had to starve to death if he was not killed. Especially over there, there are many sand mountains where ambushes can be hidden, maybe it is a trap waiting for the net, just waiting for yourself to drill into it.

Things came to this point, Xiao Hanli knew that he had fallen for Song Jun's tricks, but he didn't want to stop there. Although he is surrounded, he can occupy Mount Isana, and he can attack and retreat and defend from a high position. Moreover, in the cunning situation of Song Jun several times, he did not believe that Song Jun, who had low combat effectiveness, could swallow himself in one bite. It's just relying on the strength of the crowd and the bluff of the people.

And Xiao Hanli still has a thought, that is, the former army that has no news for a day and a night. Judging from the current situation, it should be that the Song army knew that it was difficult to defeat the Liao army, so they used the search team as bait to force themselves to divide their troops, and then they concentrated their forces to take advantage of the empty camp to seize the camp. Xiao Hanli admitted that he was a wise man, but he knew that Yelu Hongda, the former commander of the army of Lu Dao, was not a fool, and he would inevitably quickly turn around and return to the camp after discovering the plan, and at that time, the two armies should join forces to defeat the Song army.

As for saying that the former army was completely annihilated by the Song army, Xiao Hanli didn't believe it at all, and now there are less than 20,000 horses in his camp. The Song army dispatched all the soldiers who could fight. There are more than 10,000 former soldiers, and the main forces of the Song army have been transferred to attack the battalion, and what to use to eat the front army of more than 10,000 people. Besides, if you want to annihilate the front army without even reporting a single message, it is possible to think about it. Therefore, he concluded that the former army had only been led away by the trick of 'luring the enemy', and would naturally come back after discovering that the situation was wrong.

Because of the above considerations, Xiao Hanli made a decision to stick to the camp. The decision to strike at the right time and annihilate the Song army. He decided that he could hold the camp, and that he could defeat the Song army as long as he transported his troops properly. As for the situation in the face of outnumbered enemies. He also took it to his point that since the day when the Western Liao Army broke away from the Yelu Yanxi regime and embarked on the road of independence and statehood, almost every battle was won by less under the condition of disparity in troops, swept across the entire Western Regions, and laid the foundation for today's hegemony.

In the face of the Song army approaching step by step, Xiao Hanli couldn't watch his defensive depth being compressed step by step, he thought that the Song cavalry in the east was the greatest threat to him, as long as they were defeated, they could stabilize their defenses, and even cause a complete collapse of the Song army, so he arranged the main force of the battalion in the east, with the south and north as the two wings, and only monitored it with a small number of troops.

At this moment, the Song army had already discovered that the Liao army was arrayed and defended, and stopped at a distance of three arrows from them. Xiao Hanli knew that this was the most vulnerable and chaotic time for an army, and the Song army lacked infantry and only used a small number of rangers to cruise in front of the formation as protection, so he immediately sent 3,000 iron to take advantage of its unstable foothold to launch an attack, making it difficult for it to hold the position, and then sent the army into several waves to continuously attack, shaking its formation until it broke the formation and was defeated.

After receiving the order, the three thousand Western Liao troops poured down from the high ground, the horses borrowed the terrain, and the people borrowed the horses, and the speed was quickly raised, and they rushed to the Song army's large array with unstoppable might. Most of the Western Liao soldiers were also born from the nomadic Tuque people, they were skilled in bows and horses, and under the command of horns and whistles, they constantly adjusted their formations in the movement, and discharged three small formations of sharp arrows, each of which launched an attack on the Song army under the leadership of its commander. Although they are not as rigorous and neat as the Song army's dragoons and hussars when they rush into battle, they also have an invincible momentum!

In the face of the sudden impact of the Western Liao army, the Song army's vigilant rangers in front of the formation knew that they were not opponents at all, they could only sound the alarm while retreating to the two wings and harassing with bows and arrows, and they did not dare to resist head-on, but this kind of blocking was tantamount to scratching the boots, and it did not play much role in the Western Liao army that charged the brigade.

After the Song army received a warning and found out about the attack of the Western Liao army, the brigades that were lining up were also in a commotion, and they retreated back and on both flanks. Xiao Hanli was secretly happy when he saw this scene, those tribal armies were really not the same as the Song army, but they coveted the rewards of the Song Dynasty or had to send troops to fight under its coercion, and now when it came to the critical moment, they thought about self-preservation, how could this rabble resist their iron horses.

The distance between the two armies was rapidly approaching, and the Western Liao cavalry had already known that their cavalry bows were inferior to the Song army, and it was difficult to take advantage of them in the shooting, so they simply gave up the bow and arrow attack, and raised their shields to protect the vital points, and drew their scimitars to fight directly, so they continued to whip the war horses with the back of the knife, in order to increase the speed of the horse to the fastest and produce the greatest impact, and the scimitar in the hand only needed a light strip to cut off the enemy's head.

But things don't seem to be so simple, Xiao Hanli watched the retreating Song cavalry retreat, revealing the genuine Song Dynasty forbidden army, and there was an iron cart in front of the formation, did they want to block the impact of the iron cavalry with a car formation? Before he could figure it out, the answer was already there, and he saw a flash of fire in front of the iron cart, making a thunderous roar, and the war horses under his crotch felt uneasy from so far away, and they kept kicking the ground with a snort and looked very anxious.

"It's not good...... Xiao Hanli immediately thought of the legendary Song army's 'sonic shock ten miles, indestructible' artifact, as soon as he shouted, he saw a burst of chaos in his own charging cavalry group, and some generals fell off their horses. But this was just the beginning, the sound of explosions kept coming, gradually ringing into a one, the wide impact surface was shrouded in smoke, and the front line was already in chaos, and people were screaming miserably on their backs.

"Order the second wave to stop charging immediately and take over the front team!" Xiao Hanli ordered urgently.

Seeing that the first wave of cavalry rushing in front of them was suddenly blocked by the enemy's artillery fire, they put down a piece and became a barrier made of flesh and blood. There were clever ones who avoided it in time, but they couldn't avoid round after round of artillery fire, and they couldn't continue to rush forward at all. In fact, the root cause was that the sudden loud noise made the war horse frightened and uncontrollable, and the person was also stunned under the sudden blow, mishandled, and was abducted by the war horse and died. At this time, the second wave of cavalry, which was ready to expand the results of the battle, had already set off, and was lighting the fire to warm up and move forward slowly, the front was already chaotic enough, wouldn't it be even more chaotic for them to go up again, Xiao Hanli quickly called a pause, and sounded the horn to order the forward to retreat quickly.

They wanted to withdraw, but the Song army refused to agree, the artillery moved slowly and it was difficult to catch up, and the effect of the artillery bombardment was greatly reduced as soon as the enemy dispersed. The tribal cavalry that retreated to the two flanks immediately surrounded them, chasing and firing arrows, many of whom dodged the artillery fire but did not dodge the flying arrows, and the overly frightened Liao army just ran back without looking back. It was not until the Liao army in charge of receiving it was killed in a slanted stab that the pursuit of the Song army ended and retreated to the main position.

"Great King, the artifact of the Song army is sharp, and the middle one is broken, and the armor can't resist it at all. And its voice is like thunder, the horse is frightened, it is difficult to control, and it is really impossible to continue to break through......" The commander who led the charge knelt in front of Xiao Han and cried, his thousand-man team rushed to the front and suffered the greatest loss, and less than half of the people who returned to the camp were obviously useless.

"Get up and go to the back camp to treat your wounds, the enemy has such a killing weapon for us that we never expected, the blame is not on you!" Xiao Hanli looked at the frightened, and his subordinates who were bleeding from their ears and noses sighed and said.

"King Xie, if the Song army fights again with an artifact, it will be difficult for us to stop it, and we should make plans early!" The commander stood up and saluted again.

"Don't talk nonsense, disturb the hearts of our army, and ask for your head!" Xiao Hanli lowered his face and said after hearing this, he dismissed this subordinate who had no courage, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with the Song Army's artifact for a while, so he was simply confused.

"King, the Song army shot another letter, claiming that the front army had surrendered and all of them were captured, so let's make a decision as soon as possible!" Just as he was troubled, someone sent a letter that said...... (To be continued......)
