Chapter 888: Dismounting

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Xiao Gan led the army to the front line of Liangshan, with a posture of wanting cavalry to charge the formation.

"Uncle, the Liao people are coming!"

Li Yi hurriedly reported to Li Zhuyu.

"What's the hurry, you're a general in command of two thousand people, and you're still frizzy, go out with me!"

Li Zhu glanced at Li Yi and said.

"The Liao people are rushing, are they igniting beacon fires?"

Li Yi pointed to the beacon tower in the camp and said, as soon as this thing ignites, the surrounding camps will come to help immediately.

"Don't worry, our camp Liao people can't break it!"

Li Zhu shook his head, they were not infantry troops exposed on the plains, there were camps to block them, and there were layers of refusal horses on the periphery, and the cavalry couldn't get close at all.

"Xi Wang Xiao Gan?"

Li Zhu climbed the high platform and saw the huge banner of King Xi.

"Crossbow ready!"

Li Zhu said.

"Crossbow ready!"

Li Kai immediately ordered to the soldiers.

"Squeak, squeak", the sound of the bowstring pulling, and the cold light of the arrow appeared on the edge of the camp, after the rejection of the horse.

"Load the cannon too!"

Li Zhu whispered to Li Yi again.

"Artillery?"

Li Yi looked at Li Zhu in puzzlement, the lethality of artillery in the face of the charging cavalry was not as good as that of a bow and crossbow.

"Do you think Xiao Gan will really rush over? This is the dismount he gives us, and he stops when he gets close to the range of the crossbow! ”

Li Zhu shook his head and said.

"The artillery is out, good concealment!"

Li Yi immediately beckoned his soldiers to push out the artillery, which was equipped with a new type of artillery that fired solid projectiles, which was more powerful and had a long range.

Ten guns were covertly pushed to the edge of the camp, and the firing ports had already been prepared on the camp wall.

Xiao Gan's army shouted and rushed to kill, and tens of thousands of horsemen rushed to kill together, and the mighty impact was like a tsunami, as if it was going to directly flood the camp in front of it.

But just a mile from the camp the cavalry stopped, and the cavalry lined up like wolves looking at lambs hiding in a sheepfold.

"Oh...... Oh cluck! ”

The Northern Liao cavalry let out a strange scream.

"Humph, stupid!"

Li Zhu sneered and looked at the Northern Liao cavalry in the distance, this kind of scare is enough to deal with the Song army that lacks training and war baptism, and it is extremely stupid to use it against the Liangshan army.

"Fire the cannon and show those idiots!"

Li Zhu looked at Li Yi and said.

"Fire!"

As soon as Li Yi gave the order, the ten artillery pieces suddenly roared, and the projectiles flew towards the enemy in the distance.

The cavalry of the Northern Liao stood very densely, and the cannonballs collided in, instantly causing chaos in the Northern Liao formation, and several cavalry in the Northern Artillery directly turned into corpses, flying all over the military formation, and the stumps and flesh were so cheap that the people around them.

"Disperse, retreat!"

When Xiao Gan saw such a scene, he was very anxious, he didn't expect that the enemy's artillery could attack a mile away, and the power was so extraordinary, he immediately let the army disperse and withdraw, artillery is also available in Liaoguo, he knows that what artillery is most afraid of is the dispersion of the enemy.

Another round of artillery roared out, and again several cavalrymen were beaten to pieces.

The wind came in a hurry, and he walked in embarrassment, this is the result of Xiao Gan's demonstration.

"Uncle, run away!"

Li Yi laughed and said, the soldiers and horses of Northern Liao are nothing more than this, they are all flesh and blood, what is wrong.

It didn't take long for a Northern Liao cavalryman to approach the camp alone.

"I am the envoy under Xiao Gan, the king of the six tribes of Northern Liaoxi!"

The cavalryman shouted outside the camp.

The gate of the camp slowly opened, and the rejection of horses on the periphery of the camp also opened an opening.

The Northern Liao cavalry rode into the horse, but after rejecting the horse, the bowstring sounded, and several arrows directly hit the war horse of the Northern Liao cavalry, and the war horse fell screaming, and the cavalry was also thrown to the ground because of inertia, and fell into a dog and ate.

"You deserve to ride into our camp on horseback?"

Li Yi looked coldly at the Northern Liao cavalry who fell in front of him and laughed, this group of people wanted to give themselves a "dismount", and they would give them a real dismount.

"Unload his weapons, strip off his armor, and tie him up and bring him into the camp!"

Li Kai didn't wait for the fallen Beiliao to come over, and directly threw down such a sentence and returned to the camp.

Soon the Northern Liao cavalry, who were tied up with flowers, were taken to the camp tent.

"Get on your knees!"

Before the Northern Liao cavalry could speak, they were pressed to the ground by the Liangshan soldiers.

"Say, what did Xiao Gan ask you to do?"

Li Yi looked at the kneeling Northern Liao cavalry and asked.

"King Xiao wants to see your Sun Lei of Liangshan!"

The cavalry spoke.

"Palm! Your brother's name is also what you can call him. ”

Li Yi's face turned cold, and the soldiers immediately took the wooden board and went up to slap the face of the Northern Liao cavalry.

"Bang bang", after a sound, the Northern Liao cavalry was already full of blood, and several teeth were knocked out.

"Go back and tell Xiao Gan that my brother will summon him when he is free in a few days!"

After Li Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to throw the cavalry out of the barracks.

"Uncle, as expected, that Xiao Gan wants to see his brother!"

Li Yi looked at Li Zhu and said.

"Send someone to tell my brother about this."

Li Zhu nodded.

The cavalrymen who were thrown out of the barracks were covered in blood, and they were only dressed in single clothes, without weapons, armor, or horses, which was quite miserable.

The Northern Liao cavalry did not dare to stay for a long time, and ran in the direction where the army was located by relying on their legs.

"King, my subordinates are going to level the camp of the grass thieves!"

He Chongbao saw that the envoy was so embarrassed, and heard the arrogant words of the enemy, and he was immediately furious.

"You said you only saw a general in his twenties?"

Xiao Gan looked at the cavalry and asked.

"It should be Li Yi of Liangshan!"

The cavalry replied that Li Kai had been stationed in Cangzhou for some time, and there were many people who knew Li Kai.

"King, Sun Lei should still be on the south bank of the Yellow River!"

Kang Li Ding'an looked at Xiao Gan and said.

"The herald army, set up camp here!"

Xiao Gan didn't let He Chongbao retaliate, he had also seen the enemy's camp just now, the camp was taken into account, there were horses on the outside, and crossbows and artillery on the inside, and their 10,000 cavalry couldn't take this kind of strong camp at all.

The news was soon delivered to the south bank of the Yellow River, and Sun Lei was inspecting the garrisons of the battalions.

"Brother, sure enough, Xiao Gan can't sit still."

Gongsun Sheng looked at Sun Lei with a smile and said.

"This gang of barbarians still wants to play tricks with us, and they can't kill him!"

Sun Lei laughed, he guessed that Xiao Gan couldn't endure it for long, after all, it is not an exaggeration to say that the current situation in Northern Liao is in danger.

"Ignore him, let's continue to patrol and wait until Li Yi's side."

Sun Lei did not immediately set off to cross the river, but continued to inspect the defense of each battalion.

On the coast of the Bohai Sea, there are four battalions of Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Wang Jin, and Du Bai.

"How's the route searching?"

Sun Lei looked at Yang Zhi and asked.

"The best route to the north has been found, and the cavalry can reach Pingzhou in one day and Jinzhou in three days!"

Yang Zhi hugged his fists.

"Well, Shi Qian has already brought people there, he will help you find out the situation of the garrisons along the way, and quickly take Pingzhou when the time comes!"

Sun Lei looked at Yang Zhi and the others and said, the gateway land of Liaodong and Hebei is naturally to be controlled first. (End of chapter)
