Chapter 61: Lose both!
readx; Yun Zheng will not go into battle in person according to the convention, but the deputy general Jiang Zhe can personally supervise the troops to kill the enemy, Yun Zheng is facing the east direction where Xiao Dahu is most likely to escape, because Tiancheng County, Changqing County is in the east of Xijing City, and now the two county towns are still in the hands of the Liao army, because the number is too small, Jiang Zhe once tentatively attacked, and the Liao army guarding the two cities quickly retracted into the city. The two county towns of Changqing put on thick ice and snow armor, and at the same time firmly locked themselves in the city. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
After leaving these two county towns to Zhao Yang's cavalry to watch, Jiang Zhe returned to Xijing and took the initiative to take the heavy responsibility of encircling the west of Xijing.
When the battlefield in the east is in full swing, the west is also inseparable, Jiang Zhe used a few small hills in the west to place all the eight bull crossbows and ballistas there, as long as the Liao people appear within the firing range of the eight bull crossbows and ballistas, these weapons will be used without hesitation, in Jiang Zhe's opinion, those weapons are not as important as his own subordinates.
In fact, he likes to drive tigers and leopards to fight, but since he came to Xijing City, he has never seen any one in the young army, and he accidentally asked the marshal, but after being glared at by the marshal, he took the initiative to forget about it, and now, the battle situation is unfavorable, and he doesn't want to go into battle.
The war spear in Jiang Zhe's hand was like a dragon out of the water, unstoppable, and like the glow of the rising sun, it scattered out and enveloped the earth. The enemy troops who were facing him were all shot and killed without exception. At this moment, Jiang Zhe's eyes were bloodshot, like a red-eyed monster. There was no trace of handsome appearance and elegance in him, and all that was left was wild, fierce, and cold.
In the Jingxi Army, only Jiang Zhe likes to use weapons that are different from others. For example, he was the only one in the whole army because of the matter of applying gold dust to the iron spear, if it weren't for Yun Zheng's reprimand, he would even want to make his black armor golden, so as long as he went into battle. Countless Liao people wanted to cut off the head of him, a big official, to receive the reward.
The oncoming Liao army did not expect the Song army to charge. In an instant, it was like a walled house that had been washed away by a flood, and it collapsed with a bang. Both those who lost their breath and those who did not, under the iron hooves of this group of people and horses, turned into a mass of minced meat, leaving only a bloody path. The Liao people began to panic, dodging from this group of fierce gods left and right, and rushed to flee for their lives.
When Jiang Zhe rushed into the enemy formation, Liang Ji on his left. Hou Dazhi on the right did not hesitate at all, and also led the team to charge. The route of their assault happened to be the place where the Liao people gathered together in order to avoid Jiang Zhe's impact.
When the Liao people found them, it was too late to hide again, so the tragedy just now was played out again, and many people did not figure out what was going on until they died, and they would definitely be puzzled on the way to Huangquan.
When Jiang Zhe charged in the crowd of his own soldiers, he watched the six roads and listened to the eight directions. He saw a Liao man riding a horse in front of him. There is also a person riding a horse and waving a military flag next to him, which is particularly eye-catching even in the smoke of gunpowder. It is expected that it must be the general of the Liao people. The thief captured the king first, Jiang Zhe broke away from the formation and rushed straight towards the Liao officer.
The Liao general also discovered Jiang Zhe's actions, and when he saw Jiang Zhe holding a golden spear in his hand, he immediately thought that this was a fierce general in the Song army! Hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to the left and right to attack. More than 100 Liao soldiers lined up in front of him and raised their spears forward, like a copper wall raised by a tree.
Jiang Zhe's war horse rushed to the front in a blink of an eye, and it was too late to turn around. In a whimble. At the moment when life and death depended on breathing, Jiang Zhe jumped on horseback and jumped up, and when the war horse rushed into the forest of guns, he soared past the soldiers and landed beside the Liao general.
When the general opened his mouth to exclaim. The war spear in Jiang Zhe's hand pierced directly into his mouth, and at the same time, Jiang Zhe pulled out the riding knife at his waist, and the hand qi knife fell and cut off the general's neck. Jiang Zhe held the war spear with the head inserted into it, and shouted loudly: "Kill one of the enemy generals!" ”
Jiang Zhe's personal soldiers saw that the general had left his team, and rushed forward like crazy to rescue the general, regardless of life and death, he crashed into the spear array of the Liao people, and for a while people turned over on their backs, and the sound of spears piercing into the flesh and bones was endless.
Jiang Zhe quickly slashed through the chaos and obtained the head of the general, and the Liao people were dazzled and frightened, and they retreated in fright as if they had seen a god. The commanders with dense guards were all beheaded by this Song Army officer in an instant, if the other party wanted their lives, wouldn't it be as easy as pinching a little ant to death?
Seeing Jiang Zhe, who was covered in blood, scanned them with red eyes, he couldn't help but be terrified, turned around and fled. While running, he desperately shouted: "The devil is coming, the devil is coming!" Even the soldiers carrying the banner threw down the banner and fled in a hurry.
After the surrounding Liao people fled, Jiang Zhe's personal soldiers followed. One of his own soldiers jumped off his horse and handed him the reins. Jiang Zhe turned over his horse, put the war spear flat, and instructed his soldiers: "Leave a few people, put away this deputy head, and then take back the battle flag on the ground." ”
The captain of the pro-soldier whispered: "Lang Jun will not be like this in the future, I want the enemy to take the first level of the enemy, if Lang Jun has three longs and two shorts, none of his subordinates and others can live!" ”
Jiang Zhe also felt that he had Meng Lang just now, and nodded as if he had agreed to the request of the captain of the pro-soldiers.
The soldiers did as he commanded, and took the head off the gun. Jiang Zhe then slapped his horse again and chased after the shock troops in front. A few of the soldiers stayed, put away the battle flag of the head and the ground, and turned back to the starting position behind them.
Jiang Zhe had just chased after the main force when he heard the horn to stop the pursuit sound. Looking in the direction where the sound came from, I found that it was the horn sound from Hou Dayi's side. It turned out to be an order issued by Hou Dayi.
Seeing that the friendly forces on his left and right had all stopped advancing, Jiang Zhe also ordered his own soldiers to blow the horn, stop the attack, and organize the defense of the whole army on the spot.
It was only at this time that Jiang Zhe realized that he had rushed to the front of the remains of the first ice wall, which had long since disappeared, and there were some ice cubes scattered on the ground, as well as some equipment left by the Liao people.
Only some skeletons of the war horses killed last night were piled up behind the ice wall, those bones were scraped white by the knife, and no trace of flesh and blood could be seen, and then looking at the traces of fireworks everywhere, Jiang Zhe ordered to prepare on the spot to defend and place antlers and horses and triangular thorns, and at the same time wrap barbed wire around those obstacles, these things can't stop the Liao cavalry, they can only slow down their charge.
But ah, as long as you slow down, it's time for the crossbow to be powerful.
The army resisted on the front line, the people hid behind the army, and began to dig tunnels frantically, the Song army and even the people knew one thing, as long as the Liao people were trapped behind the first ice wall, their own side was the most trouble-free to guard, and they could use the least army to defend the most enemies.
Jiang Zhe looked worriedly at the east of the Xijing City, across the Xijing City, he could see the gunpowder smoke rising to the sky and the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the scout came to report, the battle in the east of the city was very tragic, and the heavy cavalry in the hands of the marshal had been wiped out.
Knowing that Xiao Dahu would definitely put the main force to break through in the east, this was not judged by himself and Dashuai, but by the topography of Xijing City.
The entire Xijing City is actually on a gentle slope, high in the west and low in the east, and it is difficult for these heavy weapons to play a role in the west, but in the east, the Liao army's heavy eight-ox crossbows and catapults can be quickly put into battle.
Now, the most important thing is to destroy the catapults of the Liao army as soon as possible, otherwise those catapults are very threatening to the Song army.
Knowing that there was a lot of danger on the Dashuai's side, Jiang Zhe didn't dare to leave his post to help over there, and now his most important task was to firmly guard the west of the Xijing City, preventing Xiao Dahu from escaping to the depths of the grassland, as for the battle in the east, the Dashuai would definitely solve it.
Jiang Zhe's guess is good, the east where Yun Zheng is located is now slowly becoming smaller, and there are not many people who can stand on the battlefield at this time, whether it is Yun Zheng or Xiao Dahu, it seems that they have a very tacit understanding at this moment, and no one continues to put new troops on the battlefield.
When the Song army on the battlefield had already won a decisive victory, Yun Zheng ordered the march drum to be sounded, and at the same time, Xiao Dahu also sounded the golden gong for the retreat, and the Song army once again entered the first ice wall.
The unarmed soldiers of the two armies were wandering on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Song army went deep into the military formation of the Liao people to collect the corpses of those heavy cavalry comrades who died in battle, and at the same time, the soldiers of the Liao people also went deep behind the first ice wall and began to converge the comrades who died in battle.
At this moment, both the Song army and the Liao people will give each other the necessary help, but the armor and blades on those corpses are the trophies of the other party.
The Song army was responsible for collecting the soldiers of his brother's corpse, carefully took off the armor on the heavy cavalry, put it aside, and then slowly rushed to his own military camp with his brother's corpse.
Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, the corpse covered with a white cloth covered almost all the space of the second ice wall, Chen Lin and Wang Anshi walked in it, occasionally lifting the white cloth on a corpse, tidying up the remains of the dead soldiers, at this moment, both Chen Lin and Wang Anshi felt pain in their hearts.
Yun Zheng carefully measured the topographic map with a ruler in the military tent, and also marked the red dots on the three commanding heights with a red pen and said to Su Xun: "The artillery must be arranged on these three commanding heights in the early morning tomorrow, and destroying the catapults of the Liao people is the first priority at present." ”
Su Xun said in a low voice: "Don't you think that the first priority at the moment is to see the soldiers who died in battle?" ”
Yun Zheng was silent for a while and whispered: "I can't watch it, if I do, I can't bear to fight anymore." (To be continued.) )
