Chapter 720: Ambush on all sides

"What's going on, how did you guys come back!"

Bao Mi Sheng was marching south with a large army, and suddenly several Liao cavalry ran back, and the posture of throwing away the armor knew at a glance that it was a defeat.

Baomi Sheng does not believe that Tianshan Yong will be defeated, although Tianshan Yong's martial arts are average, but there is a delicate hand crossbow - a little oil, just relying on this hand crossbow, Tianshan Yong sneak attacked and killed many strong enemies.

What's more, this time Tianshan Yong led 3,000 Khitan cavalry and 7,000 servant troops, this kind of strength is enough to deal with more than 50,000 Song troops, and 100,000 Song army Zhou Xuan, how can he be defeated?

"General soldier, the enemy has already laid an ambush, we are defeated, the deputy general soldier ordered to withdraw first, and we were separated from the army......"

Several cavalrymen looked at the treasure secret saint with a frightened expression, escaping from the battle was an extremely serious crime, and they didn't dare to bear it.

"Waste, it was ambushed by a few southern thieves!"

Baomi Sheng was furious, first he was attacked by someone, and now the vanguard army was ambushed and defeated, and the Liao State has not been so defeated in a hundred years of southward movement.

"Sons, kill with me!"

The Treasure Secret Saint roared and rushed south with the army.

Along the way, Bao Mi Sheng encountered more and more routs, which made him angry, if the battle continued like this, Da Liao's face would be lost here, and he would be a laughing stock in Da Liao in the future.

"Tianshan Yong, what's going on!"

Finally, Bao Mi Sheng met Tianshan Yong's brigade of cavalry and roared directly.

"The enemy has an ambush! Hurry up, there are enemies on the flanks too, they want to surround us! ”

Tianshan Yong shouted anxiously, originally only Sun An's army was chasing him, just when he stabilized his position and prepared to fight and retreat, a group of men and horses suddenly came out of the side, and the strength of the battle was not inferior to Sun An's team.

"What are you afraid of! Assemble a formation for me, kill! ”

The Treasure Secret Saint didn't care about those, and now that the army was gathered in one place, it was necessary to launch a counterattack.

The horn sounded, and the panicked rout saw the arrival of the main force, and finally calmed down and gathered at the sound of the horn.

"I just thought of assembling now, it's too late!"

Sun An held a pair of black swords and led the army to line up in the south.

At the same time, Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye and Yuan Lang and others also went to the west of the Liao army.

"Two armies! Are you afraid of such a few people? ”

Bao Mi Sheng looked at the two armies that rushed over, and sneered disdainfully, this is only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and there are more than 20,000 Liao troops around him.

Suddenly, there was the sound of trumpets in the north and east.

Bao Mi Sheng's face froze, and when he looked back, he saw that there was also a large army in the east and a large army in the north, each with an army of two thousand, and more than half of the cavalry.

"Surround! We were surrounded! ”

Bao Mi Sheng looked at the army lined up on all sides in disbelief, and at this time they were in a low-lying area, the enemies on all sides were on a high place, and the terrain was extremely unfavorable to them.

The Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty have always had the Liao State to take the lead, the Northern Song Dynasty has few horses, does not have a sufficient amount of cavalry, moves slowly, and likes to line up in formations, form hard villages, and fight in a daze.

The Liao cavalry is fast, comes and goes like the wind, can quickly intersperse and cut the battlefield, and the Liao army has always surrounded the Song army, and few Liao troops have been surrounded.

The Liao army, which had never been surrounded, was in turmoil, and the soldiers were terrified in their hearts, looking at the enemy on all sides and only thinking about fleeing.

"General soldier, the team in the south is difficult to beat, those two are both bow and crossbow masters, the good envoy Feishi next to them, they also have a whole team of well-trained archers, equipped with Song Ting's divine arm bow!"

Tianshan Yong pointed to the army of Sun An in the south and said, in his opinion, the army in the south is the most troublesome, the archers and the divine arm bow have always been the sharp weapons of the Great Song Dynasty to deal with the Liao State, and the light cavalry of the Liao State is most afraid of strong bows and crossbows.

Bao Mi Sheng looked at the southern military formation, and there were indeed thousands of archers in front of him.

"This encirclement on all sides seems to be a military formation! If we attack one point, the other three will cover up and scatter our formation! ”

Bao Mi Sheng looked at the generals around him and said, they can only stand in formation now, waiting for the enemy to attack first, as long as they rush down, they can use the numerical advantage to disrupt the opponent's formation, so as to turn defeat into victory.

"What are you waiting for? Let's kill it! ”

Ma Jin is already a little impatient, the enemy is in front of him, and he has been surrounded, they will kill the enemy now, and they will definitely be able to kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor.

"Now is not the time to attack, after all, the enemy is outnumbered, and there are too many variables to rush down, and now we have the chance to win, and it is the best policy to fight steadily."

Zong Ze said.

Although Ma Jin and others are rough men, they still admire Zong Ze very much, during this time, Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye taught them the method of leading troops in Cangzhou, and they learned a lot of things.

"The enemy came on a light horse, and he didn't bring any baggage, it didn't take long for the enemy's formation to be chaotic!"

Uncle Zhang opened his mouth and said, the enemy has nothing of food, grass, baggage, and equipment, why should he hold on to the low-lying place?

The battlefield was silent, the expected brutal battle did not break out, and the Liangshan army waited quietly in formation.

This made the Liao army below even more uneasy, sweating profusely one by one, constantly looking around, for fear that the enemy would suddenly attack.

"Chief soldier, you can't go on like this!"

An adjutant general looked at the nervous appearance of the soldiers and looked at the treasure secret saint and said, the enemy clearly wants to consume them.

"The soldiers' mental energy is very draining under the nervousness."

An adjutant general said that the current form is very unfavorable to them, the soldier's spirit is highly tense, and his mental strength is also consumed, and the soldier will not be able to fight again for a long time.

"Damn, there's no shelter around here, and there's no material to even cut down trees to build a camp."

Tianshan Yong looked at the barren fields around him and frowned and said, they only have a military formation to block the enemy now, and it would be different if they could build a camp.

"It's useless to have a camp, we only brought a day's rations, and there is no food, what is the use of the camp."

Bao Mi Sheng shook his head and said, they didn't bring much baggage in a hurry this time, most of them stayed in Shuanggang Village and Sannu Village, and the soldiers only brought a day's food, thinking that the battle would go smoothly and they would have everything after looting, but they didn't expect to be surrounded by people.

"We must break out, this Liangshan thief has already prepared, and if it continues like this, we won't even have the strength to break through."

Bao Mi Saint made up his mind with a solemn face.

"Lord Commander, where do we break through!"

All the generals looked at the treasure saint, they didn't like to be surrounded like this, and they had already had the intention of breaking through.

"To the north, let's go back to the Yellow River!"

Bao Mi Sheng pointed to the north, their baggage was by the Yellow River, and there were two strong camps, which could completely rest and then fight the enemy.

After finding a good direction, Bao Mi Sheng and Tian Shan Yong led the army to the camp where Lin Chong was located in the north.

"Resist a little, retreat!"

Lu Zhishen saw that the Liao army was killing in a big way, and directly ordered that their two thousand people could not stop the more than 20,000 troops, but they could slow down the speed of the Liao army.
