Under the boulder mountain.

Xiao Guo was scolded by Xiao Yuan for a dog blood spray.

The strength of the army was nearly three times that of the other party, but in the end it was defeated, not to mention, and they didn't even have the courage to charge again, which was really a shame for their Liao *** people.

That is, it is wartime now, and killing their own generals will affect the morale of the army, otherwise, I am afraid that the life of this will be difficult to protect.

Speaking of Xiao Guo, he is also wronged, as Xiao Yuan's general, he usually deals with some mountain bandits, these people have no willpower, let alone military spirit at all. Once they find that their Liao army is pressing, they will flee desperately like rats crossing the street.

I didn't even dare to fight head-on, such a battle was too smooth, and it couldn't prove that Xiao Guo was powerful. In the final analysis, if you send a random person and command a large army, you can also win the mountain bandits.

Now it is different, facing a dragon army with stronger equipment and morale than them, which is destined to suffer.

"I'm giving you five thousand men, this time you have to destroy the dragon army on the opposite side no matter what, if you can't do it, you can die." Although angry, Xiao Yuan still decided to give Xiao a chance.

"Yes, don't worry, the general can't complete the task this time, and his subordinates will come to see you." Xiao Guo also saw that the head of the family was angry, and knew that he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to perform if he didn't behave well, so he hurriedly agreed, and then ordered 5,000 cavalry, plus nearly 4,000 cavalry in his hand, a total of 9,000 cavalry rushed towards the headquarters of the third brigade.

With three times the strength advantage of the Dragon Army, Xiao Guo was once again full of confidence, and the morale of the 9,000 Liao Army was also high, and it looked like he was going to destroy the Third Brigade in one go.

"The enemy is coming, the arrows are ready, this time we don't have to charge, we just wear each other here, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. This time, we will leave behind all the 30,000 Liao troops in front of us, and we will not let go of any of them." Brigade Commander Wang Cai's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.

It is worth burying a company of soldiers with 30,000 enemies.

In view of the fact that the battle method of attacking the two sides head-on just now was broken by the dragon army, this time Xiao Guo adopted the strategy of attacking all frontally.

Considering that the arrows in the hands of the dragon army were very powerful, this time he ordered all the charging Liao cavalry to bring shields, and asked that even in the face of the rain of arrows of the dragon army, they could not retreat, let alone be afraid. As long as they can rush in front of the dragon army, relying on the numerical superiority, they will definitely win.

After the experience of the battle just now, Xiao Guo thought that the dragon army was these two blows, and they were just caught off guard by relying on dense arrows. Once he was prepared, he was convinced that he would be able to win with the superiority of his forces.

No matter how bad it is, you can defeat the Dragon Army, and in this way, you can have an explanation for General Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Guo was very confident, and when he saw that his nine thousand cavalry had taken out their shields, he was relieved, so he shouted and gave the order to attack.

"Is the gasoline ready?" Wang Cai on the other side asked his subordinates without hurrying or panicking.

"Brigade commander, everything is ready, we have also dug a trench in front of the position, and gasoline will be poured into it in a moment to ensure that the enemy cavalry cannot rush in."

Listening to his subordinates' answers, Wang Cai nodded with satisfaction. And it was at this time that the Liao army, which was four miles away, launched an attack.

"Alright, let's add gas." Knowing that the time had come, Wang Cai gave an order.

The Third Brigade was in full swing, and all the soldiers changed from cavalry to march, or took out eight consecutive rounds to become archers, or directly carried gasoline barrels and began to be busy with irrigation.

The distance of four miles is not too far for a cavalry, and it is an excellent impact distance.

Xiao Guo rushed with a large number of Liao cavalry, seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, but the dragon army still had no intention of attacking.

"Rush, keep rushing, raise your shield." Xiao Guo's heart was filled with joy. He knew that the dragon army had a powerful repeating bow in his hand, which could produce several arrows in a very short time to form an effective kill.

After all, arrows are arrows, which can hurt people and kill people, but I have never heard of a major war where one side can rely on arrows to win. Eventually, still

It depends on the real strength of both sides. Just like right now, once the Liao cavalry rushes in front of the dragon army, people can easily pass sideways by taking advantage of the horse's momentum, and at that time, even if some people are injured by arrows, what is it?

"Rush, rush!"

Under Xiao Guo's shouting, many Liao cavalry also saw the meaning of the main general, so what is polite? Just keep charging.

The shield in his hand was already raised above his head in the impact, but he did not forget to clamp the horse's legs between his legs and speed up the horse.

"Bow and arrow ready—release!"

As expected by the Liao army, when the distance between the two sides was almost 100 paces, the dragon army began to throw bows and arrows here.

Instead of firing straight through with eight shots, it is thrown with a longbow, which has a longer lethal distance.

After the first rain of arrows was fired, the distance of the Liao cavalry was closer, and only then did more dragon soldiers pick up eight consecutive rounds and start shooting directly.

Clanging, arrows raining down.

fell into the midst of the Liao cavalry that was charging, bringing them a lot of lethal power.

Even though the Liao cavalry had made certain preparations, in the face of the rain of arrows, it still caused a lot of casualties. Especially those war horses, many were shot by bows and arrows. And once the horses are killed or wounded, they will fall to the ground with their masters.

If you are lucky enough not to be hit by the arrows that fall next, there is often a chance that you will die under the iron hooves of your own charging horses.

Eight consecutive direct shots, no need to aim at the target at all, the task is to shoot the eight arrows in your hand as quickly as possible.

In fact, there is no need to aim, because on the frontal battlefield, there are all charging Liao cavalry, and eight arrows can shoot out, and you can shoot two or three cavalrymen at will, the difference is only to see where it will be shot, whether it can be fatal..z.

"Don't stop, just rush over and the victory will be ours."

Seeing that the cavalry belonging to him, one by one, either the war horse fell to the ground, or the person fell from the horse, Xiao Guo's eyes were a little red, but he still did not forget to continue to accelerate the speed and impact forward, in his eyes, victory was in front of him.

It was at the moment of imminent victory that the commander of the third brigade, Wang Cai, opened his mouth. "Ignition".

After receiving the order, a platoon of thirty soldiers who had already held torches threw the torches in their hands into the trench more than ten meters away, and then turned around and accelerated their run without waiting for the torches to land.

They ran fast enough, that is, they had just turned around and ran a few steps away, when the torches behind them hit the ground and touched the gasoline, and the flames rose up, and a wave of fire appeared behind them, like waves on the sea, and rushed after them.

A platoon of Dragon Army soldiers already knew what the result would be, and they ran fast enough, and they were safe and sound. The Liao cavalry who rushed on the opposite side was not so lucky, and the sudden appearance of the wall of fire, which was still more than a foot high, frightened them immediately.

Especially the war horses under the seats, this kind of animal is most afraid of fire. As soon as the huge fire appeared in front of them, they instinctively stopped their steps, and after a sharp brake, they turned and fled.

At this time, in the eyes of the war horse, there is only one thought, that is, the farther you run, the better, it is too dangerous here.

The war horse suddenly stopped, and under the reaction of not listening to the master's operation at all, some unprepared Liao cavalry were thrown off the war horse one after another.

Even if some of the Liao cavalry who were good at equestrianism grabbed the reins and were not thrown off, they could follow the war horse backlash back and collide with their own war horse that was speeding up behind, it was not a joke.

At high speed, the collision between war horses weighing thousands of pounds can be imagined, what kind of result it will be.

Bang bang ...

In the sound of sore impact, the Liao cavalry killed each other.

This scene fell in Xiao Guo's eyes, making him so angry that he almost didn't turn his back on it.

Originally thought that at a certain price, it would be good to rush to the side of the dragon army, after all, he had an advantage in numbers, but this suddenly

And what about the fire?

The fire is so strong, it is impossible to point the cavalry to cross over, so how can you get close to the dragon army, how can you kill the enemy?

The flames blocked the way, making all the efforts he had made in the early stage meaningless, and seeing another batch of arrows falling towards him, he could only reluctantly give the order to retreat.

Fortunately, there is a fire to block it, and the cavalry of the dragon army can't catch up, otherwise, I really don't know how much loss will be this time.

Despite this, after a charge, the Liao army also suffered heavy losses, and more than 8,000 cavalry were killed in the battle, and now only 7,000 cavalry remained.

Unscathed, Wang Cai won the first battle, killing more than 1,000 enemy horsemen, which was regarded as avenging them even for Yuguang, and Wang Cai's anger was not so strong. "Tell me to go down, replenish food, and prepare for the next big battle, or even chasing the enemy."

Wang Cai still has a strategic vision, what he expected was good, when Xiao Guo got nothing, but returned to the Chinese army camp with a loss of troops, and after seeing General Xiao Yuan, he naturally had to be reprimanded.

After scolding, Xiao Yuan, who was a little angry, said, "Okay, get ready, let's retreat?"

"Retreat?" After Xiao Guo heard this, he was puzzled.

"Yes, retreat. Originally, we appeared here, asking for something to happen suddenly, but now, the suddenness has long been gone, and the dragon army has already prepared, so why don't we retreat and wait, waiting to be besieged by the dragon army?" Xiao Yuan said with anger on his face again.

Pointing to the 30,000 army, it is impossible to destroy the dragon army, or to say that it is impossible to inflict heavy damage. His appearance was just a suddenness, and now that this possibility is gone, of course he has to withdraw.
