"What sound, what is this?"

Yelu Zongzhen was riding on horseback, and suddenly heard the sound of trumpets in all directions, and hurriedly asked around.

Xiao Ying listened for a while, frowned and said, "This is the sound of Song Jun's horn. ”

"What is the order?"

Jelu Zongzhen asked, "Have you ever heard that?" ”

"It should be the sound of assembly, the rhythm of the Song people's horn changes every fifteen, it is difficult for us to judge."

Xiao Xiaoyou said.

On the battlefield, it is possible to judge the enemy's orders by their voices.

For example, if the enemy blows a certain rhythm, and then the soldiers all charge forward, it is bound to be a bugle.

If there is a different rhythm, and the soldiers keep moving in the direction of their generals, then there is no need to think about it, it must be a rallying call.

After only a few seconds, screams, wails, moans, and screams of terror filled the entire Liao army camp.

For a while, the formation of a large part of the Liao army could no longer be maintained, and the left and right flanks even faintly began to collapse.

"Hahahahaha."

There are even some ricochets that are very terrifying, and they have jumped many times in a row before finally exhausting their strength, but behind them is already a sea of blood, and a large number of corpses of the Liao army are all over the place.

Yelu Zongzhen also thought so, and when he heard Xiao Xiaoyou's words, he said happily: "Fan Zhongyan only wanted to gather people at this time, it's too late, our army is about to break through the city, he."

Because the Song army is still assembling Weiyuan cannons in a steady stream, it may have been two hundred and twenty guns last time, but this time it has become two hundred and twenty-three, and it will be two hundred and thirty guns after a while.

Faced with the artillery on the city wall, these people are about to go crazy, and one by one they will do whatever it takes to escape.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, the sound of Song Jun's horn became louder and louder, and it became louder and louder.

Immediately afterwards, those shells rolled directly into the Liao ranks, some broke the chests of the Liao people, smashed them into minced meat with men and horses, and then fell into the soft soil.

Therefore, when the Liao people suddenly encountered the baptism of artillery bombardment, and before they could react, the second round of artillery had already attacked again.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die here, I want to go back to the tribe."

"Get out of my way, get out of my way."

The sound of the horn is the deepest, and due to the problem of sound frequency, it travels the farthest, in the open field with little shade of trees, and can even reach several kilometers away, so it is one of the most commonly used methods.

"Mingjin, Mingjin!"

They couldn't hold on any longer.

Many people fell directly from their horses, and the surrounding Liao soldiers and horses were frightened by this sudden scene and rioted again and again, and there were countless stampedes, even if they were lucky enough to survive the cannonballs, they would soon be trampled to death by their own people.

The Liao soldiers had all kinds of prophecies, including Khitan, Nüzhi, Mongwu, Murwei, and even Chinese.

There are people who push and shove, there are people who rush all the way, and there are even people who slash with knives.

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a burst of fire in the direction of the city wall in the darkness, followed by a terrifying loud bang that exploded the night sky.

The trumpeters relayed one by one, and they really couldn't hold on and then make substitutions. There were more than 30 horns on the city wall, but more than 100 trumpeters took turns to muster their strength.

This time, the Liao army could no longer maintain order, and many soldiers ran around in panic in the dark, like headless flies, causing all the surrounding soldiers to begin to be in turmoil.

"Bang bang

Before the Liao army outside the city could react, more than 200 Weiyuan cannons fired a salvo, and more than 200 shells crossed a brilliant arc in the air, and then fell towards the Liao army team in the distance below.

However, due to the fact that the Song army changed orders more frequently, it was obviously difficult for the Liao army to judge what kind of order it was.

Flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon again, and more than 200 shells flew out, arcing through the air and falling into the ranks of Liao soldiers.

The entire Liao army became more and more chaotic.

The sound of horns in the field also came and went, and the generals of the Song army were already extremely excited at this time.

When the second round of artillery fire was over, the Liao army on both flanks was the first to begin to rout, and then the Chinese army immediately fled to both sides.

"Bang bang! ~”

"Run!"

However, there was no time for Mingjin to withdraw the troops, and the Weiyuan cannon could be fired multiple times in a row, and the maximum number of rounds per minute could reach ten rounds per minute, which was much stronger than the black iron bronze cannon.

There are also horns, war drums, cymbals, flags, whistles, etc., and since ancient times, large-scale military operations have been commanded by these means.

And this time there are even more than the last.

"Monsters, Song Jun are all monsters!"

Some did not die on the spot, but were simply slashed through the arm by a shell and the entire arm disappeared. There were only shells on his shoulders, and the huge force directly took away the small half of his body, revealing the white bones inside.

Although there is no need to run, because now the Song army is not short of horses, and the horse coverage rate has reached more than 90%, basically the soldiers who go out to battle are all riding war horses, only artillery has no horses to ride, and horse-drawn artillery carts are used.

Yelu Zongzhen's eyes were torn apart, and he shouted almost like a roar.

Others flew far away, killing more than a dozen Liao knights in a row before they stopped and fell to the ground.

However, judging from the information they have so far, it is likely that the Song army has been unable to resist the attack of the Liao, so they quickly called the Song army in the field back to fight.

In fact, the Song army at this time was very tired, they launched a surprise attack at noon, and they had been fighting for seven or eight hours, so they had a lunch and had not eaten dinner until now.

Some of them turned into ricochets, and when the cannonball fell into the ground, the kinetic energy was too strong, and the soil was not so soft that it could withstand the tremendous force, so it suddenly ejected from the ground again and shot towards the surroundings.

But he has been running around on the battlefield, and the people are tired, and the horses are tired. Therefore, at this time, the Song army was tired enough, and many people were trembling with their legs and looking tired.

But when the melodious sound of the horn resounded throughout the world, and the surrounding dozens of miles were full of high-pitched horn sounds, all the Song troops cheered up.

Liu Chungao sat on his horse, turned his head, and roared angrily at the soldiers behind him: "Soldiers, this is not a rallying call, this is an offensive call." Do you hear the sound of cannons on the castle tower? ”

"I heard you!"

The soldiers behind him shouted.

"Xiang Gong has strategized and defeated the Liao army, and now is a good time for us to attack, kill the enemy to serve the country, and make meritorious contributions today."

He pulled out the ring-headed straight knife from his waist and roared angrily in the direction of Xijin City: "Follow me, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

At this time, regardless of whether it was Liu Chunbu or not, they were all enthusiastic and raised the musket in their hands.

Now they have only one identity - the Great Song Forbidden Army!

And it's not just Liu Chunbu.

There were quite a few generals on the Song army's side who found that the situation was wrong.

Fan Zhongyan gathered an army of 230,000 this time.

Among them were the original 160,000 Hebei Army, 50,000 Western Army transferred from the northwest, and 20,000 navy.

It's just that there are only 150,000 in Xijin at present.

Because in addition to Di Qing's 20,000 sailors, the remaining soldiers and horses went to attack Wanping, Yuhe, Miaoyin, Xianghe and other places.

Therefore, the current situation of the Song army in Xijin is 150,000 Song troops against more than 200,000 Liao troops.

But the Liao army was far more than 200,000.

Because their troops in the rear also arrived one after another, the total strength of the Liao State was already around 420,000.

As a result, there was a slight disparity in the strength of the two sides.

And Yunzhou is also in Jiaozhou, where the Song army has 100,000 and the Liao army has more than 100,000.

It can be said that in addition to the part of the Western Army that was not transferred to Hebei, and the remaining 100,000 or so forbidden troops in Bianliang, half of the more than 600,000 forbidden troops in the country have been dispatched.

And the more than 500,000 troops of the Liao State are basically all the strength of the country.

In the war that broke out between the two sides, from Yunzhou to Youzhou to Yanshan, the number of soldiers alone was close to one million, and counting logistics, people, and auxiliary soldiers, amounted to more than two million.

The war of annihilation is nothing more than that.

In such a situation, every change on the battlefield can cause a huge chain reaction.

Fan Zhongyan set up a strategy to disrupt the deployment of the Liao army, and did not enter the design of the Liao army, which seems to be strategically clever, but it also needs the cooperation of the generals below.

If the generals can't give full play to their subjective initiative, the results will obviously not be very good.

However, the Song army recovered Yanyun this time and made up his mind. The soldiers also knew the importance of this battle, so they were always nervous and prepared.

At this moment, on the wilderness, groups of Song troops gathered together, listening to the sound of the loud horn that made people's blood gush, and swarmed to launch a fierce attack on the main army of the Liao State.

"Xianggong Shen, the Liao people were defeated, and the recovery of Yanyun was done in one fell swoop."

On the small mountain, under the moonlight, a man rode a horse, his cloak was waving, he raised his saber in his hand, and roared behind him: "Soldiers, kill with me!" The day of achievement is here! ”

"Kill!"

More than thousands of Song troops behind him shouted loudly, galloped their horses, and rushed towards the Liao army that was scattered in the distance.

"Charge with me, charge with me, charge!"

"Charge!"

"Don't let any Liao people out of Yanyun."

"Beat me to death!"

"Don't be stingy with bullets, if you don't have bullets, give me a knife, a bayonet, and a tooth, I want to let the Liao people lie in wait here, and restore my Han rivers and mountains."

"Kill!"

A general of the Song Army kept shouting.

Xijin followed the road of the Liao army's retreat and dispersal, and there were gathered Song troops along the way for more than twenty or thirty miles.

The number of these troops is not large, usually only two or three thousand, and even only a few hundred, but the victory lies in the high morale and the soaring killing intent.

Moreover, the number of people continued to increase, even if some generals did not have the consciousness of Liu Chun and others, and immediately gathered the surrounding troops to watch the situation, they also immediately started to act after hearing the sound of the horn.

For a time, the gunfire in the north of the city of Jinjin was loud again, and the Liao people were already defeated. A large number of Song troops quickly surrounded them, and the Song troops in the city also went out to encircle and suppress the Liao.

The Liao army's side has been completely chaotic, Yelu Zongzhen was in the chaos of the army, and was protected by the surrounding guards, killing a bloody road, and then escaped.

As a result, the forest in the east suddenly burst into gunfire, and some Song Jun roared angrily: "Kill the Liao dog." ”

"Kill the dog!"

More than a thousand Song soldiers rushed out of the forest, and they rushed towards them with great momentum.

You must know that Yelu Zongzhen not only has personal guards around him, but at the same time, there are a large number of Liao soldiers who are also scattered in the wilderness, and there are Liao people everywhere within a kilometer of the surrounding area.

But even so, the Song people still launched a charge without hesitation, and a gunfire pierced the night sky, flames sprayed, and even if there were no bullets, they would pull out their sabers at their waists and start a decisive battle with the nearby Liao people.

This was unbelievable before.

But now it is really happening in front of him, Yeluzong is really like a frightened bird, sweating profusely, looking around.

The guards around him desperately took him out of the encirclement and continued to flee north.

Not long after, more than 2,000 Song troops suddenly came out of the small river in the north, shouting: "Brothers, kill, don't let these feats run away." ”

"Kill!"

Song Jun had red eyes and a fierce expression on his face, like a wolf about to drink blood, and rushed towards the Liao people who had long been scattered.

They used up the last bullet, and even if it was replaced by melee combat, they would leave behind the corpse of a Liao man.

Because of the Liao people who escaped one by one, they were all the merits of the soldiers of the Song army.

The Great Song Dynasty rewarded meritorious people richly, even if they failed to be promoted to officers in the future, they were rewarded with money, land and so on for killing one enemy.

Hence the surging morale.

"Run, Your Majesty, Run!"

The guards around Yelu Zongzhen were already frightened, and hurriedly urged Yelu Zongzhen's horses, and while looking back, they kept whipping the war horses and galloping forward.

At this time, the sky was dark, and fires were burning in many places.

The Liao army originally wanted to take advantage of the night to raid Xijin, eliminate the Song army in the city, and complete the Jedi counterattack.

Unexpectedly, Fan Zhongyan set up an ambush, so that he was defeated, and many torches were thrown directly on the ground, trying to escape at night.

As a result, weeds on the ground were ignited.

In the early spring, everything is recovering, but the dead leaves accumulated last winter have not completely rotted, and there are still dilapidated and withered plants and trees in many places.

Therefore, once it encounters a flame, it will quickly ignite and spread in all directions.

However, the speed of the flames could not keep up with the speed of the Liao retreat, and many Liao people fled into the darkness, and in the wilderness, some were killed by the bullets of the Song army, some horses lost their hooves and fell to their deaths, and some were killed by their own people in a panic.

Wailing, screaming, scolding, scolding, and crying are everywhere, and in the face of life and death, there is no meaning for any comrades-in-arms, they just want to escape.

Even Yelu Zongzhen's personal guards killed many of his own people, and he was forced to flee with Yelu Zongzhen all the way.

It is also Yelu Zongzhen's war horse is the best horse, although there are vast plains along the way, but in all kinds of dirt pit obstacles, there is not a single fall, and he escaped smoothly and ran to the front of the team.

However, he looked south in a hurry, and he was already devastated, the army behind him was scattered, and the pursuers continued to approach, so that Yelu Zongzhen's whole face was already full of haggard sorrow, full of the color of the end.

My world, my Yanyun, is about to disappear.
