Chapter 209: Black Horse Bloody Battle
Xinghua City Barracks. The movement of a large number of cavalry into the city attracted the attention of many people in the barracks. But no one thought that it would be Song Qi.
Several battalion commanders thought that a certain general had come, to inspect the garrison here, and were still gathering troops, as if they wanted the general to see their energetic side.
Ji Zhu came to the outside of the barracks with six hundred cavalry disguised as Liao cavalry, and what he saw was the scene of the Liao army assembling.
"Kill in, you can't give them time to assemble." Ji Zhu saw the opportunity to attack, and was afraid that it would be difficult to clean up after the enemy gathered, so he did not wait for the main force of the first and second brigades of cavalry behind him to appear, so he pounced on it with six hundred cavalry like fierce tigers.
Everywhere the black cavalry went, it soon set off a bloody storm, and the Liao soldiers who killed directly were dizzy, they really couldn't understand why their own people would kill their own people?
Until the Liao soldiers continued to fall to the ground, but did not give those Liao soldiers who were still alive an explanation, the remaining Liao soldiers in the barracks stopped doing it.
Even if you want to kill people here, there has to be a reason. Don't say anything, kill people when you see them, are we really not going to resist?
Two battalions of Liao cavalry in the barracks, six battalions of Liao infantry battalions began to resist. Although they had been killed by a few hundred people in this period, they still had more than 3,000 troops, which was more than five times that of Jizhu.
The overlord gun in Ji Zhu's hand kept stirring up and down, ending the lives of one Liao soldier after another, and he was full of murderous spirit, and an anxious look slowly appeared in his eyes.
He had already noticed that these Liao soldiers wanted to resist, and if they started to counterattack, a vicious battle would follow, and if they fought, even if they could win, they would win miserably.
It's just that at this time, Ji Zhu has no better way, and he can't retreat. Once you withdraw from the barracks and let these Liao soldiers come out, it will only be more difficult to annihilate them all, and even let more people escape, I am afraid that the news of their appearance here will soon spread, if so, the Liao army will come, it will be really dangerous.
"Kill, don't be afraid, our reinforcements will be coming soon. We must take advantage of this time to kill more people and make more military achievements. Even though he was anxious, Ji Zhu did not show it on his face, on the contrary, he loudly encouraged the other black riders, inspiring their fighting spirit and morale.
The black horsemen didn't know the worries in the general's heart, they only knew that they had a lot of military exploits in front of them, and if they didn't kill a few more now, the main force of the army would come in a while, and there would be no chance.
Six hundred black horsemen, of which there are two hundred real black horsemen, and their combat power is still very strong. Although this meeting killed a lot of people and the physical exertion was a bit large, under the excitement, he could still hold on to the situation.
"Kill! Kill! The black riders shouted slogans, brandished overlord guns or steel knives, and the time for their previous physical training was on display.
More and more Liao soldiers died under their horses, and the number rose from hundreds to more than a thousand, and the Liao soldiers also heard the difference from the shouts of the black horsemen.
"They are not Liao horses, they are Song people, they are shouting Song language, kill them." Nearly 4,000 Liao soldiers naturally have smart people, they found out what was going on, so they shouted loudly, followed by more and more Liao cavalry like a tide, often a group, three black cavalry will have more than ten Liao soldiers around.
They rode or walked and rushed up and surrounded the black horsemen. When the two sides fought hand-to-hand together, the black cavalry began to appear dead and wounded, and within Ji Zhu's line of sight, from time to time, he would see that the Su family army was surrounded by regiments, and then faced several times the enemy, they fought hard, and finally because the number was not too much, they were surrounded and swallowed.
There are also some black horsemen in groups of three, who are also surrounded by heavy Liao troops, they are like boats on the sea, there is a possibility of capsizing at any time, but they are still struggling to support, and from time to time more Liao soldiers will fall under their feet.
Barely ten breaths, Jiju noticed that at least two groups of black horses had disappeared, and four or five groups were already struggling to hold on, threatening to overturn at any time.
"The black rider attacked and saved his comrades." Seeing the soldiers of the Su family army who fell one by one, Ji Zhu looked anxious and sent out all the real black horsemen around him.
At this moment, only these real black horsemen can still block the front of the Liao army, just like those destroyed groups, none of them are real black horse groups.
Shouting, the spear in Ji Zhu's hand rotated faster, and his physical strength was also rapidly depleted, but he didn't care, he just wanted to hold on a little longer, kill a few more enemies, and relieve some pressure on his comrades, so as to support the arrival of the main force of the army.
That is, in the time of a cup of tea, at least six groups of the Su Jiajun were destroyed, and countless people were injured.
Finally, under the hard support, there was the sound of a large number of iron hooves stomping on the ground behind him, and the main forces of the first and second brigades of the Su family army arrived.
The sudden appearance of more than 2,000 cavalry shocked them in the eyes of the Liao soldiers who were rushing outward.
There are only a few hundred Song troops in front of them, and they can't rush out if they kill them, and there are so many Song horses coming at once, will there be a way for them to live?
"Withdraw, withdraw to the barracks, wait for reinforcements." Frightened by the sudden appearance of more than 2,000 Su troops, the Liao army began to retreat, disengaged from contact with Jizhu's army.
"If you want to run, prepare the bow and arrow, and put it!" Feng Yidao and Hu Tongtian, who rushed over, looked excited.
Even if they came, how could they let the Liao soldiers easily retreat to the barracks to form a formation, and immediately gave the order to release the arrows.
Almost as soon as the main force of the Su family army arrived, the bows and arrows of Ruyu were shot out and fell into the Liao army, causing a burst of ghosts and wolves to howl.
Under cold weapons, the lethality of bows and arrows is still very large. After a while, nearly a thousand Liao soldiers fell, and the remaining less than 2,000 Liao soldiers were also all six gods and no masters, and they were extremely panicked.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ji Zhu's voice of persuasion sounded,
"Surrender without killing, those who resist die!"
"Surrender or kill! Death to the rebels! When the other black riders saw their own general shouting like this, they also shouted one by one.
The strength and combat power are inferior to the other party, and under the deterrence of powerful forces, there are really many Liao soldiers who put down the swords and guns in their hands.
They don't want to die yet, especially when even if they die in battle, it is impossible to turn the situation around, surrender has undoubtedly become a good option.
The timely arrival of the main force of the Su army suppressed the resistance of the Liao soldiers in Xinghua City, and finally most of the Liao soldiers surrendered, and only less than 100 people were still desperately resisting, but after Feng Yidao and Hu Tongtian rushed up with cavalry, it was easily solved.
When Su Shi arrived in Xinghua City in a carriage, it was already under complete martial law.
"Young marshal, the clean house has been cleaned up, we have a lot of wounded, and we have to trouble the angels to come to the rescue." As soon as Su Shi's carriage stopped, Ji Zhu rushed up with a look of urgency.
"Inform Cui Shengshou and start work immediately." When Su Shi heard this, he commanded Lou Yang on the side.
After Lou Yang left, Su Shi looked at Zhu Ji, who was covered in blood, and asked, "Are you also injured?" ”
"No, it's all the blood of the Liao soldiers." Ji Zhu shook his head, then lowered his head and said: "Young marshal, the resistance of the Liao soldiers is still very fierce, we only have thirty-six soldiers killed in this battle, and the number of wounded has reached about three hundred. It seems that our strength is not enough to storm the big towns. Hearing that so many people had died, Su Shi was also a little distressed.
But hearing Zhu Ji's next words, Su Shi thought that everything was worth it. For a while, it may be the reason for always winning the battle, and there is a sense of pride in the Su family.
In their eyes, the Liao soldiers are nothing more than this, and they can even be said to be vulnerable, and some of them are arrogant and arrogant, whether they can hit Shangjing and capture the emperor of Da Liao.
In this way, Lou Yang and the others relayed it to Su Shi after hearing it, and he only shook his head and smiled after hearing it.
There is a big reason why the war will go so smoothly, and there is a big reason why they are fighting a sneak attack. The Liao soldiers didn't know where the Su Jiajun would appear in the next moment?
It is only when they can't prevent it that they suffer repeatedly. This does not mean that the Su army is so capable of fighting, let alone that they can kill Shangjing with more than 3,000 people, let alone capture the Great Liao Emperor.
But there are some things that Su Shi can figure out, and the people below can figure it out, this time attacking Xinghua is Su Shi telling everyone with practical actions that the Liao people are not soft persimmons.
This battle was a sudden sneak attack to capture Xinghua City, but even so, more than 300 people were killed and wounded, presumably after this incident, the arrogance of the army will be suppressed.
"The warriors are all good men, and they are all good. In this way, their bodies were all found, and all the Su family soldiers paid tribute to them and paid silent tribute. "Even if there is such an opportunity, Su Shi will give everyone a good psychological lesson, so that these proud soldiers can take a look, they will die in battle, even if they have the best equipment, they may also die.
Thirty-six corpses were placed on the largest square in Xinghua City, followed by Su Shi to take the lead, leading everyone to pay homage to the remains of heroes and martyrs.
Su Shi also saw these corpses for the first time, even if he had a certain amount of psychological preparation in advance, he was still taken aback at this moment.
If you look closely, it seems that there are no less than dozens of scars on the body. This means that everyone is wearing hard stab-proof suits, and under the sixteen layers of defense, they can block more attacks.
It's just that no matter how strong the shield is, when it faces countless attacks, there will be a moment when it is broken. These Su soldiers who died in battle died under this kind of countless knives and guns, and the stab-proof clothing was almost stabbed to pieces, and they died without protection.
