After crossing the river, it is still the boundary of the Great Song Dynasty, but after many years, the remnants left by the Khitan people fighting the grass valley have made this 100-mile area deserted.

Even the fortresses of the Forbidden Army in the North were far away from this riverbank, and only about fifty miles to the north, there were a few lonely beacon flints standing lifeless on the slopes.

Song Wen asked An Chun to clean up the convoy, and he took Daruchi and a few guards to a high post.

Da Luchi pointed to a ravine in the distance and said: "It is customary to pass that ditch is the land of the Great Liao Kingdom, but there are not many people over there, and fighting grass valley is not a unique method of the Khitans...... At that time, the Song army also harmed the common people over there, whether it was Han or Khitan, and they were killed and burned if they were caught......"

Song Wen shook his head: "The competition between the great powers has only suffered the people. Will Brother Yelushan's people be blocked by the border army of the Liao State?"

Daluchi shook his head: "How could it be, Yelude Mountain is now in a stable position, he has no intention of participating in the internal struggle for the throne of the Liao State, he just wants to keep his position as the king of the Southern Courtyard, so all parties are courting him...... The border troops of the Great Song Dynasty in the south were all under Yelude Mountain, at least the Qianli border on the east side of the Liao Song Dynasty were all the people of the king of the Southern Courtyard...... Who will intercept the little marquis's people?"

A fast horse galloped back, and immediately the young knight hugged his fist at Song Wen and said: "Lang Jun, there are nearly 100 cavalry in front of you, and you are rushing through the boundary ditch and coming straight to us......

"But the Khitans?"

"I didn't play the flag, I couldn't see clearly! The dress should be Khitan. ”

Song Wen frowned, what the hell are you doing...... According to the agreement, the little marquis Yelu Shange will send someone here to pick up his convoy, and then the two sides broke up outside the city of Nanjing in the Liao State, and the convoy and Yelu Shange's people entered the city to trade, and Song Wen led the camel team to the grassland......

Could it be that Brother Yelu wanted to swallow his caravan? Or are you being targeted by other Khitan nobles? Or maybe he was just unlucky to meet the Liao border army who didn't know the inside story of his deal with Xiao Houye?

Song Wen shook his head and couldn't take care of it. There are nearly 50 people in his group, and there are more than 30 carts, and he can't run unless he discards all the goods and baggage!

Song Wen turned his horse back to the side of the convoy and shouted, "Finish the car formation, prepare the bow and crossbow!" There are also gunpowder bombs, lighting torches, and lighting the heaven and earth spring shochu when necessary! ”

An Chun stood on the roof of the big car and drew his sword and shouted: "Qingshan Battalion, prepare for war!"

"Roaring ......"

Everyone hurriedly untied their horses and formed a circle of carts, leaving only a gap in the northeast corner, but blocking five crossbows behind the gap.

Everyone was still busy, and suddenly a puff of smoke and dust rose from the fork in the road next to them, and the neighing of war horses and the sound of horses' hooves smashing the ground came over, and a team of Khitan knights of about 100 people all came with short blades such as war knives and round hammers!

Daruchi frowned and stood beside Song Wen and said, "It's a little bad, it seems that he came specifically for us!" If it is the little marquis's subordinates, he can't change the herdsmen's clothes, this is because he doesn't want to leave evidence! ”

Song Wen narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this trying to rob money halfway?" Is there still a rival between Brother Yelushan's father and son on their own territory?"

"There are a lot of nobles in the Liao Kingdom, and there are also some who don't deal with the king of Yelude Mountain......

The Khitan cavalry suddenly let out a roar, and the sword was unsheathed and the hammer was swung straight towards the chariot formation!

As soon as Song Wen raised his hand, dozens of bows and crossbows were slowly raised, and An Chun's face was flushed and he was already extremely nervous...... Holding the saber in his hand, he was thinking about who would break the back to cover Song Wen and retreat in the direction of the Great Song Dynasty.

Getting closer and closer, the momentum of the charge of the hundred Khitan cavalry was actually like a thousand troops, and the smoke and dust were billowing and murderous......

Daruchi suddenly lowered his voice and said in Song Wen's ear: "It's okay, it should be a joke of the little marquis...... Or rather, shock! At this distance, there should be heavy armored iron cavalry in the lead, and light cavalry galloping on both wings to cover! These people won't attack, and the master can rest assured. ”

Song Wen sneered, Brother Yelu Mountain is trying to scare himself? I'm not a mouse, and I want to crush myself with a gun and a stick?

Song Wen waved his hand and said to An Chun on the side: "Throw the wine altar...... Use gunpowder shells to light a cannon and come out to show the little marquis the excitement! ”

"Yes!"

Two strong Qingshan Camp villagers picked up two cowhide rope pockets and threw out several watermelon-sized wine jars far away, and the crackling sound sounded, and this special liquor spilled on the ground, and then An Chun shouted: "Gunpowder bomb!" Ready to throw ......"

Three more strong-bodied and strong-armed villagers stood in front, followed by three men with torches in their hands.

I saw a prototype ceramic head in front of this new gunpowder bullet, on which a pointed piece of iron was faintly visible, and behind it was a five- or six-inch-long wooden handle, with holes under the wooden handle, and a piece of medicine wire was exposed when the plug was removed......

After Song Wen provided the drawing ideas, the world's first generation of explosive fragmentation grenades, which took several months to develop by craftsmen in Houshan, appeared!

"Ready!"

The three grenadiers looked excited, and their right hands pinched the grenades behind them......

The cavalry on the opposite side seemed to be a little surprised, but they still screamed and brandished their swords and went straight to the chariot formation!

Three hundred steps to go!

Two hundred and fifty steps...... 200 steps......

Song Wen drew his saber and pointed forward...... An Chun yelled, "Drop the bomb!" ”

The three villagers hurriedly lit the ammunition line of the grenade, and the three grenadiers glanced at the medicine wire general and burned it into the handle, and immediately shouted and threw the three powder bullets directly in front of the car formation......

Two of them fell within the range of the shattered wine jar, and one flew out directly with a little too much force, more than a hundred steps away!

Boom Boom Boom ......

The Khitan cavalry on the opposite side suddenly messed up, and the war horses in front of them shook their heads and were frightened, but fortunately, the knights on the horses were all good hands, and they would calm down...... What's the situation? How is it like a thunderstorm on the ground!

Before the loud noise dissipated, a flame suddenly rose on the ground, and the blue wow wow green ...... There was also a strange aroma of wine wafting out.

The cavalry charge was disrupted, and the team lost speed and made a mess...... Then he saw rows of swords and crossbows in the opposite car formation, calmly aiming at him.

A loud arrow suddenly rose into the air behind the Khitan cavalry, and a loud roar, a tall Khitan man raised his right hand and cursed a few words, the Khitan cavalry was a little annoyed and ran to the side, the team gradually slowed down and stopped on a dirt slope.

Song Wen breathed a sigh of relief...... Fortunately, the Khitans didn't think crookedly.

Daruchi said in a low voice: "It seems that he is a centurion in Xiao Teng's department, and now he doesn't know what official he is promoted, and he is a qualified general...... You can see that when he retreats, the rear team rolls forward and rotates, so that it can slowly cover the retreat of the whole team. The place where the horses are parked is a low slope, and they can escape over the hill at any time, and they can also charge down with the height of the slope......"

Song Wen sighed secretly......

These Tartars are considered to have the genes of cavalry combat in their bones, and they are the Han people of the Central Plains...... Where will you be an opponent if you play pure cavalry tactics?
