Chapter 142: Return to Heaven (2)

"Lieutenant, Captain! Xiao Gan didn't want to be like a few days. He didn't even want to think about the old camp! However, if the back road is lost, the morale of the soldiers in the battalion will plummet, and when the time comes, they will not be able to fight. Tai Lieutenant, I will follow the Tai Lieutenant's order and lead the troops to rescue the back road! ”

Glancing intently, he glanced at the Liao army formation opposite. Han Zun expressed his judgment, bowed deeply to Liu Yanqing, and got up with his sword to order the sergeant above the watchtower to play the banner.

Liu Yanqing grabbed Han Zun's hand fiercely. Over the years, Liu Yanqing has been learning the so-called generosity. The demeanor is serene and honorable, but this time, the movements are extremely agile, as if it is still the fierce general of the Western Army who was a prancing horse and a sword! But the words that popped out of his mouth made this momentum drop by more than half: "You have transferred more than 10,000 sharp soldiers out of the camp, and there are less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left." Can it be worthy of the Liao people fighting the camp? ”

Han Zun's expression was eager, but he had to hold back his temperament to explain. There was a fire in his heart: "You Taiwei Liu is not a person who does not know soldiers. The situation on the battlefield can be seen at a glance, why ask me instead! ”

But looking at Liu Yanqing's blue and white face. And the corners of his mouth trembling. In this hurry. Han Zun suddenly realized. Captain Liu. It's long been no longer the original Huanqing military commander of the Western Army, handsome!

The days of peace and honor have passed for too long, and he has long lost the ability to make decisions against the enemy. Although he was in the rear camp of the Chinese army far away from the front line, he could still judge the opponent's military situation so that he could not leave the ten, and the deployment was also the first way. Although he is selfish, he is still decent and does not lose his true colors.

But in this front-line camp, close enough to distinguish the enemy's face, in the place where the arrows and arrows would even fall into the camp. He doesn't have the courage to stick around here!

At this moment, the feelings that appeared in Han Zun's heart didn't know whether it was anger or pity, or both. He slowly got rid of Liu Yanqing's hand that was holding him tightly, and saluted respectfully: "Tai Lieutenant." After all, we are members of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty. The 30,000 Huanqing army is enough to hold the camp for several days without losing, and his subordinates dare to guarantee their lives! But if you don't help in the back road, it will be too late! General Cao Zheng is struggling to support there, looking forward to the arrival of the Taiwei reinforcements! Once the back ferry is lost, the morale of the army will be greatly reduced, and when the time comes, even this big battalion will not be able to keep it! ”

Hearing Han Zun's almost bloody cry. Liu Yanqing's face was still not calm, but he suddenly became angry: "You guarantee with your life!" You are just a state regiment training envoy, and a general in the Huanqing army. The Great Song Dynasty's hundred-year-old plan to restore Yan, the great cause that the official family has in mind, and the lives of tens of thousands of athletes in the entire army of the Huanqing Army, can your life be saved? ”

Han Zun was also extremely angry, so many scary names in Liu Yanqing's mouth actually boiled down to the end! But one sentence will tell. He, Captain Liu, is in the army, and if you guarantee him with your life, you can guarantee that he Liu Yanqing is safe. Your Han Zun's life. Is Liu Yanqing's life worth it?

At this moment, Han Zun couldn't hold back any longer. Raised his arms and shouted: "The back road must be saved!" More than 10,000 children of the Huanqing Army and tens of thousands of people from all walks of life in the Song Dynasty and Hebei are looking forward to our army. If Taiwei thinks that I go to the rear army and empty the three armies of Jingyuan and Qin Fengxihe, it is not far to the east, and Taiwei Fei, there is still a reason why they can't come? It's enough to protect the safety of the captain! ”

Han Zun wanted to say something else, and slowly begged Liu Yanqing. Liu Yanqing recovered from the shock and panic at the beginning, and he was not unable to make a correct judgment. However, Han Zun mentioned the three armies of Jingyuan, Qin, Fengxi, and He, and immediately poked Liu Yanqing's sore spot! He is the main offensive force, but in the end, he needs the old and small seeds to come to the rescue, and the hard work in front will not be in vain. And this first work was given to the old and small seeds, but the old and small seeds climbed on his head! He Liu Yanqing has already broken face with the Western Army, and there is no politeness on both sides, if he Liu Yanqing is subservient, he is afraid that he will not be able to be a rich and noble idler in Bianliang at that time!

To win, it is the exclusive merit of the Huanqing Army.

To be defeated, the Huanqing army was in front of Yanjing, and the Huanqing army was defeated and retreated. The three armies of Jingyuan, Qin, Fengxi, and He were far away from Yanjing's flank, and their flanks were completely exposed. Xiao Gan can hit the long flanks they exposed at any time, and their three armies are also untenable! The Huanqing army is already disgraced, and you three armies don't want to fall behind! Be unlucky, everyone will be unlucky together!

In Liu Yanqing's heart, what's the matter. It was such a thought that passed by viciously. Once this thought came to him, it took over all his body and mind, and he couldn't think of anything else.

He stood up straight and shouted to Han Zun with a straight face: "Cao Lei leads more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and he has the responsibility to cover the back road. I don't want you to share this responsibility for him! The Liao people are attacking the camp, and the whole army of the Huanqing Army must gather troops to defend it! A certain person is not in the army, you are a former army deployed, so you can naturally act at will, but now a certain person is in the army, and the person who gives the order is just one person! General Han Zheng, Xiao Gan's army is in front, you must guard the camp and let Xiao Gan not advance an inch! Xiao Gan's department is already in danger and will strike the final blow. After a long time of futility, he naturally retreated, and at that time, he would no longer have the ability to resist the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers, Yanjing City was in the bag of the Great Song Dynasty, go down! ”

Han Zun was almost stupid, and he knelt down violently. Walking a few steps on his knees, he grabbed Liu Yanqing's robe: "Captain." Captain! There are tens of thousands of brothers in the Qingjun at the ferry! ”

Liu Yanqing's face sank like water, looked at the direction of the ferry, and said slowly: "Do you think it's still too late?" You send troops and horses to help, march in formation, there must be Liao people far away to harass, half a day later, maybe you can arrive, you look at the fireworks rising in the direction of the ferry! Cao is tired, and he can't let the tens of thousands of Huanqing troops here be wiped out in one fell swoop! ”

What Liu Yanqing said also has some truth. Xiao Gan's previous actions really paralyzed the Song army. Needless to say, Liu Yanqing's Huanqing Army, even the old and small races, there are also many people who look down on Xiao Gan. Except for Guo Yaoshi, who knew Xiao Gan deeply, no one expected that Xiao Gan had shown weakness and forbearance for so long, and suddenly made a move, which was a thunderous blow!

The Liao soldiers and horses are also mourning soldiers, and there is no advance or retreat on the battlefield, and they take advantage of the surprise. Now that the reinforcements are leaving, it may really be too late to rescue Cao Lei's department behind the ferry!

Rather than this, it is better to keep the generals and horses by their side. To protect himself, Xiao Gan may be a storm, and the follow-up is powerless, maybe there is a chance to redeem it now, and everyone will fall together!

Liu Yanqing's determination has been made, and there is no way to recover.

But in Han Zun's opinion, it's one thing to be saved and not saved... Xu Daying's military equipment, grain and grass, bad enough to support the garrison shoes day! Danlan was sloppy. If you don't respond, the Huanqing sergeant will be centrifuged up and down! When the time comes, it will be truly out of control! The defeat is not terrible, and the strength of the Great Song Dynasty now exceeds that of the remnants of the Liao people by several times. The back road is scattered, and Han Zun is also confident that he will hold this place, but once he loses the morale of the army, it will be difficult to reverse the result

Finish!

He Han Zun understands this, and all the soldiers under his command understand, why doesn't Taiwei Liu understand this truth?

He tugged at Liu Yanqing's cloak and couldn't stop pleading. Liu Yanqing didn't say a word. Liu Yanqing's personal guards rushed up behind him, and desperately set up Fu Zun: "The captain has made a decision, General Han Zheng has something to say, urge the soldiers, and guard the camp!" The watchtower is windy, the captain can't stand it, the big war is imminent, and the captain is sick, will you Han Zheng afford to be guilty? .

Han Zun was set up by these Liu Yanqing's personal guards. Looking at this, Taiwei Liu was about to look down at the tower with a blue face. Han Zunmeng roared, but this roar was almost like a cry, he hurried to come to the sergeant in charge of the banner, and wanted to issue the banner of mobilizing reinforcements out of the camp by himself!

Liu Yanqing shouted loudly, surrounded by his guards, rushed up, and grabbed Han Zun deadly. Liu Yanqing's face had turned black, and he waved his hand violently: "Look at this guy Fuzun!" Command the whole army to guard the camp. No backsliding. Die to the death of Xiao Gan's camp! If there is anyone who leaves the camp without permission, the whole team will be killed! "One small one small one one, one one one, one, one, one small. Tiny one, one, one, one

In the Huanqing Army, countless soldiers in each camp are looking forward to the military camp. The leading generals all pressed their swords and looked eagerly, and the red cloak of each of them was blowing high in the morning breeze. More than 10,000 troops had gathered and lined up in their respective battalions. The soldiers were all lightly armed. Carries only bladed bows and arrows. Although the Huanqing Army is much more loose than before, the morale of the army is also much depressed. But after all, it is an important part of the field group that has defended the Western Xinjiang of the Great Song Dynasty for decades!

As soon as the war began, they were naturally touched, no matter how much grievances they had complained about before. It's all gone now. Everyone is waiting for the order. Prepare to go south immediately and pick up General Cao Zheng, who is guarding there. It's not a stranger, it's their brother in the Huanqing Army! It is a fellow villager who lives together in the hundreds of fortresses on Huanqing Road, and it is a robe that has been inseparable from various ways for more than a hundred years!

Everyone was transferred out of Huanqing Road, Pingjiang Nanxiao and then went north. Supporting each other, it has been two years away from home, and there are many dead and wounded. Although everyone is not too interested in fighting anymore, when they are in distress, these soldiers are still willing to go to the rescue of them at any cost!

Everyone was waiting for the order of the Chinese army, and then roared out, regardless of a qiē block, and rushed to the back road ferry as fast as possible!

I don't know how long I waited, but the banner of the military order of the Chinese military division finally came. Everyone was discerning the meaning of the banner, and suddenly one by one the generals hung their heads, and then they scolded: "Straight lady thief, Tai Lieutenant, this is not for us to be the children of the Huanqing Army, what kind of military order is this!" ”

The Shibens were a little slower to react than the leading generals. But it caused a bigger movement, and in the ranks, the voice of shouting and cursing shook the sky: "Straight mother thief, if you want to conquer Yanjing, if you want to be crowned king, if you want to enjoy happiness in Bianliang, don't want us to celebrate the children!" You captain, you didn't work hard to fight it! If we don't save it, even if we are here, we will not fight! ”

The shouts resounded through the sky, and between the camps, they were already connected.

In the slowly approaching array of the Liao army, Xiao Gan's tall and thin figure was surrounded by the children of the Liao people's Xi people's relatives and noble clans, he was wearing a silver armor today, wrapped in a black cloak, the cloak was extremely long, and it was spread out in the wind, like a huge banner.

The shouts that suddenly erupted in the Song military camp were not very clear to the nose, but here in Xiao Gan, he could also understand that it was not the roar of facing a strong enemy, but the meaning of injustice and shaking resentment!

Xiao Gan laughed and looked back at the guards around him: "Liu Yanqing is like this, he will break the enemy!" ”

1111, small one, small one, small one, small "small one, one small one, one small one, small one small one, small one, small

On the Gaoliang River, near the Qingjun ferry, it is already a wolf, a fireworks, and a sea of corpses and blood.

Although the Song army was covered by the Zhenyu army, the defense itself was problematic. Cao Lei's family general. After leading the town to guard the ferry and protect the back road, a defense system with flat stretches and trenches has been set up on both sides of the avenue. It is precisely because Cao Ti is a cautious person. Liu Yanqing gave him the task of guarding the back road.

However, as a large number of heavy lifting vehicles and horses were collected on the north bank of the Gaoliang River, the territory occupied by these lifting tools became more and more extensive, until they were out of the original defense system. The Song army, which was responsible for guarding them, had to move on both sides, and before the new defense system could be built, the Liao army had already launched a sudden attack with a large cavalry.

The Song army had to rely on the terrain to fight. The solidity of the defense is greatly discounted.

Moreover, the remaining troops of the Song army, on both sides of the road, could only divide the troops equally. This is also the right thing. Lack of cavalry sentries. In the event of an attack by the Liao, no one knows from which direction they may come. I had to take it halfway aside.

However, the impact of the Liao people must have some focus, but by that time, the middle was blocked by all kinds of heavy chariots and horses, and tens of thousands of people. Even if Song Jun wanted to dispatch reinforcements, it became extremely difficult!

These reasons are still small. What surprised Cao Lei the most was the assault launched by the Liao army that day, and in the Liao army, he actually felt the fighting spirit that he had never seen before. The cavalry of the Liao brigade, one after the other, no longer cares about casualties, no longer cares about the formation, no matter how much it costs. It is also necessary to rush into the back road of the Song army, burn the lifting utensils, destroy the pontoon bridge, and cut off the back road of the Huanqing army!

This is the last battle of the Great Liao Empire, Xiao Yan has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and his weak reserves are only enough for him to fight a battle. The battle was unwinnable. The Great Liao, which has been established for 215 years, can only perish!

Such a crazy impact made the Song army's originally stable infantry array crushed like this! Day 08 Shanshu sneered at the umbrella

In Cao Lei's eyes, a qiē seems to have become a scene of apocalypse.

In the place where the original Song army still had an array, desperately firing feather arrows and crossbow arrows to intercept it, the Liao people were corpses. The highest place was stacked to the height of a man. The blood of the dead man and the dead horse will stain the beaten red, and this blood will not even absorb the land. It turned into a bright red stream that flowed into the Gaoliang River, and the water on the bank turned a faint pink.

Based on the experience of Cao Lei's battlefield veterans, at a glance, you can know that the Liao people copied more than 10,000 cavalry on the back road, but they were intercepted by the Song army. Lost on the way to the impact, not to mention three or four thousand!

In the past, no matter how strong the cavalry was, among the 10,000 cavalry, the loss of seven or eight hundred fell apart, and they fell apart and withdrew. No more casualties can be sustained. Therefore, when the Song army lined up in an array and raised the bow and a half in their hands, whether it was the Liao army or the iron harriers of the Western Xia, or even the chaotic light cavalry of the Tubo Qing and Tang Zhuqiang, they would not rush into battle.

But today's Liao people endure "it should be said that they ignore such huge casualties!"

The bones of countless Liao knights and horses paved a road behind the Song army's array. The Liao knights who continued to pour in later stepped through the array of the Song army and rushed into the panicked people of the brigade. Burning objects are thrown everywhere, and they are slashed and killed everywhere. The people were originally nervous and reluctantly stayed behind the protection of the Song army's array. When the Liao army's iron cavalry broke in, the people and horses were all blood-red and rushed in, frantically rushing left and right. Tens of thousands of people suddenly collapsed, shouting and running aimlessly on the battlefield. The transport Simas of the Song people who led them on the Hebei Zhulu were no better than them, these little civil officials in long robes. The table is even more out of shape than these people!

Tens of thousands of people collapsed at the same time, and the situation could no longer be contained. The people who ran around impulsively impulsed the Song army array that was still insisting. These Song soldiers were also so moved that they threw down their blades and fled. Even the archers with the Divine Arm Bow no longer have time to destroy the Divine Arm Bow at this time, everyone turned around and ran, and many people had the same goal. It's those pontoon bridges erected on the Sorghum River!

Brigades of people rushed to the pontoon. It's crowded on it. I don't know how many people stepped on the bridge deck and were squeezed by the people behind them. Under the pontoon, there are densely packed with ups and downs of human heads. In winter, the water is cold, and people wear a lot. Struggling to move. The bridge pillars are full of lucky people, and these lucky people can't stop kicking the people who want to pull them down from the water, and they are desperately defending their life-saving position.

More people, however, were swept up by the Gaoliang River and floated downstream with heavy loads.

More and more fires rose, and the smoke filled the four directions, cutting off people's sight, and only the wild shouts of the Liao light riders who kept rushing in could be heard. This qiē has increased the uneasiness of the collapsed crowd more and more. In the next moment, the grease jar in the Liao rider's hand was already thrown towards the pontoon, followed by torches. There were so many people on the bridge, and no matter how many times the oil cans and torches fell in, they could not burn the bridge at one time, but the screams and screams of the people were louder, and there were more people who fell into the water. More and more people are pulling like ants on the supports on both sides of the pontoon bridge, and one of the pontoon bridges can no longer support it. With the dense crowd on the bridge, it broke off from the middle, and it aroused a burst of inhumane shouts!

Cao Lei stood on top of his command position, and he was still doing his best to deploy all the soldiers and horses under his control, to extinguish the fire, to plug the gap that was broken by the Liao army, and to deter the people who were running around. The few soldiers and horses in his hands were sent out in a team, and in the blink of an eye, they were drowned in the chaotic flow of people. Function.

The Song army array was under the impact of the chaotic people's auxiliaries. It has completely collapsed, and the remnants of the thousands of cavalry troops have all rushed into this frenzied torrent. Desperately creating even greater chaos. The location of the Huanqingjun ferry on the Gaoliang River has become the general storage zài of the Shura field, in every repetition. I don't know how many people died here! How many Great Song Dynasty military assets prepared for the Huanqing Army to conquer Yanjing were worth tens of millions of yuan, and hundreds of thousands of people were relayed and transferred, and they were burned here. But I don't know what kind of expression Da Song Chong, who was sitting in the back, when he saw this scene caused by their open and secret fighting, what kind of expression should he have!

In the midst of the smoke, Cao Lei stood on a high place and tried his best to look north. The Liao soldiers and horses galloped not far from the side of them, and these Liao soldiers and horses also looked crazy, only caring about creating more chaos and burning more military resources, but no one cared about killing this Song army leader who was surrounded by only a few guards and had a clear armor.

These Liao light cavalry were also desperate assaults. I don't plan to survive. Such a frenzied crowd rushed in all directions, and the Liao cavalry was mixed in it, the same danger, chaotic crowd, could overturn and trample them down at any time, even men and horses, until they became a mess of meat and mud. These Liao cavalry didn't care. As long as they can still move, they must rush to the place where the military supplies are piled up and set fire, and they must rush to the pontoon bridge and set fire. After the first battle, this 10,000-cavalry Liao army, which was used to intercept the back road of the Huanqing army, can be considered good if half of it can be left.

Cao Ti has been on it all the time, watching this frenzied tide destroy all the surrounding back ferries, watching several pontoon bridges burning, falling and falling, watching the sun slowly move towards the middle. And the camp of the Huanqing Army, which is only twenty miles away from the ferry, still has no reinforcements coming!

Cao Lei sighed: "The back road is lost, and a certain crime is also." The commander is at a loss, "there will be a big defeat." This time to the north, the Huanqing Army fought two battles against Baigou sorghum, both of which were the main force, and both were defeated.

A certain Song Dynasty will be the door, how can he turn back to Henan? """Small, small, small, small

On October 22, the fourth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, at the same time that Xiao Yan's army finally roared back to the north. The back road of the Huanqing army was trapped by Xiao Gan's army, and the rear defender Cao Lei died by himself.

The last battle under Yanjing City began to be involved, and the frenzied tide rolled up, until all the heroes and heroes on this apocalyptic stage were involved!
