Grievances and Hatreds (10)
The two sides have such a tacit understanding that the well water does not interfere with the river water, even if there is a real fight, these people come and go without a trace, and it is not easy to catch them, and the number of people who are killed is even more few. There are only a thousand people in this clan, and they have captured so many people and grass valleys, they can't fight this kind of people at all.
At this time, there was a Northern Song Dynasty forbidden army in the south, and Zhang Shaoying was overjoyed and shouted: "Here, here." When he said that, there were two more on the left and right, and Zhang Shaoying was ecstatic. The patriarch regretted it a lot, and he couldn't escape in the first place, because he was afraid that the warriors would miss the opportunity. At the moment the order was given to kill the captive woman, and the array charged. Nearly 300 people were killed in this instant, and Zhang Shaoying's brain was in an uproar, and he roared: "Beast." But the Liao soldiers and horses were urging, but Zhang Shaoying did not dare to jump into the formation, and several sword qi swept out, and three people had already fallen off their horses. Dozens of horsemen rushed towards him, and everyone regarded death as if they were at home, and they were very brave. Zhang Shaoying was extremely angry, got up and kicked down two people with a sword, slashed one person with a sword, and when he landed on the horse, he slashed over several times. The cavalry was known for its speed, and the besieging one person still kept moving, like churning dough to entangle Zhang Shaoying in it. The war horses rotated around, but the officers and soldiers were slashed and left. Zhang Shaoying held his internal strength and swung his sword and slashed. At this time, what tricks, what flying fire meteors are completely useless, and the brawls in the rivers and lakes are different from the army. The sword qi in Zhang Shaoying's hand did not stop, but it could not reach the fine and mellow of Mu Qiubai, relying on the impact force, although there were more than a dozen casualties, no one retreated, and the momentum became stronger. Liu Yan on the hill hurriedly said, "I have to save him." Mu Qiubai said: "This is his own decision." Liu Yan calmed down, but her heart beat hard. Zhang Shaoying acted so recklessly, the danger was by no means something he could think of, although he knew that it should be a little tempered, but he was extremely worried in his heart.
At this time, the Liao soldiers who were injured under Zhang Shaoying's sword injured several more people, and immediately dozens of horsemen retreated. Zhang Shaoying was shocked, and was stabbed in the back when he panicked, but fortunately, Zhang Shaoying shrank unconsciously when he pierced into the skin, although the wound was extremely long but not deep, the pain was unbearable. Zhang Shaoying shook his wit, pulled out the dry onions, turned around and fled, and the Liao soldiers came to chase after him. Zhang Shaoying ran up the hill in a panic, and Concubine Hua Zhong smiled when she saw Zhang Shaoying like this, and she couldn't stop crying. The Liao soldiers did not dare to chase after them under the hill, their eyes were red, they cursed loudly, and they turned back and forth, very anxious. Zhang Shaoying was shocked, and saw that everyone was looking at them indifferently, even Ji Lingshuang. Liu Yan stepped forward to check the wound, and Zhang Shaoying was already in cold sweat in pain.
Concubine Hua and the others were still laughing, and Ji Lingshuang said Wan Fu'er, and exclaimed: "Lang Jun is really brave." Zhang Shaoying said angrily: "Did I do something wrong?" Liu Yan said: "You have to know if it's wrong." Zhang Shaoying was stunned for a moment, and looked into the distance, a rain of arrows on both sides turned on their backs, and the three hundred forbidden troops roared angrily under the command of the commander, and attacked in a group. The patriarch kept urging the clansmen to attack quickly, but the Song army was twisted into a ball. Although there were only one or two thousand people in this confrontation, in Zhang Shaoying's eyes, it was more earth-shattering than Shi Po's Divine Roaring Army. The Song army was burly, with a shield on the outside and a spear on the back, and although the Liao army attacked fiercely, it did not disperse the Song army. The Song army screamed loudly, full of anger, and the Liao soldiers scolded loudly, slashed with their swords, and made noise among the people. These tribal armies were requisitioned from various tribes in the Liao State, and they would be withdrawn as soon as the garrison period expired, and they were not as good as the Jingzhou army equipped with long and short weapons, and they used scimitars and bows and arrows that were good at cavalry cover. Although the Liao soldiers surrounded the Song army, the casualties exceeded those of the Song army in an instant. As soon as the patriarch gave the order, the whole army began to retreat. At this time, the Song army was left with less than 200 people, and the Liao soldiers suffered nearly 300 casualties. As soon as the Liao soldiers withdrew, the Song army drew their bows and shot more than 20 people and wounded more than 20 people, and the Liao soldiers also returned arrows and shot the Song army and wounded more than 40 people. The Song army was outnumbered, and the commander did not give the order to retreat. The patriarch suffered huge casualties, gritted his teeth with hatred, and immediately gathered an army to attack again. Suddenly, there was a loud sound in the distance, and Zhang Shaoying saw a black cloud rising in the sky. A rain of arrows fell from the sky, and more than half of the Liao soldiers of this clan were killed and wounded.
In the distance, 3,000 light cavalry came quickly, and there were 2,000 infantry troops behind, and these 300 Song troops were acting as the vanguard to drag the enemy. The vanguard commanded the current leader to rush forward to kill, and the Liao soldiers began to retreat when they saw that the situation was not good. The cavalry of the Song army outflanked on both flanks, and annihilated this tribe after dozens of zhang of pursuit. As soon as the battlefield ended, the horn of the Liao people sounded in the distance. The Song cavalry stood in front of the infantry and gave way to the infantry to look for the relatives of the families, and many of them wept and put the bodies of their relatives on the wagons. In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves of the Liao people began to be heard, and it was the Jingzhou army that came, and the black pressure was pressing, and the flag fluttered in a line quite spectacularly, with three thousand people. The cavalry of the Song army was equipped with crossbow arrows, spears, and waist knives, while the infantry troops were swords, spears, shields, and archers. The Jingzhou army of the Liao people was divided into spears, crossbow arrows, and scimitars, each performing its own duties. The Liao soldiers stopped more than 100 zhang away, and they did not dare to step forward when they saw that the Song cavalry was over. The Song army began to scold, most of these Jingzhou troops were Han Chinese who surrendered to the Liao people in the Yanyun area, and they also began to scold each other at the moment, and they did not attack. If a big battle like this of nearly 10,000 people really starts, the reinforcements from all over the country will only fight more and more, and finally turn into a big melee, and no one can afford to bear such a charge. There are no civilians in border areas like this for a long time, and the people who are stationed here are the families of the soldiers who are fighting for the food ban. With family members behind them, these Song soldiers had to work hard. All these civilians who were taken away by the grass valley often needed to be rescued, so as not to affect the morale of the army for a long time, but not to cause a major war.
Since then, the two sides have scolded each other, and the infantry army has stabbed the Liao soldiers who have not yet lost their breath to death in front of the battle, chopped off their hands and feet to vent their anger, and the heads have to be kept and taken back to the military camp in exchange for rewards. In order to prevent the Song army from surrendering and defecting, each forbidden soldier left a tattoo behind his ear. In recent years, many tribal troops were often beheaded by the Song army in exchange for rewards, and many tribal troops had to tattoo behind their ears to avoid it. So the Song army could only take people back to the barracks and behead them in public, and even cut off their hands and feet to reduce their weight. Most of the Jingzhou troops involved in the border were Han Chinese, and the Song Dynasty had very generous conditions for these people to surrender, and even directly sent troops to attack the garrison of the Jingzhou army to pick up the families of the surrendered Han people, and mutinies were common. In recent years, in order to control the Yanyun region for a long time, the Khitan lord Yelu Longxu has begun to formulate legal provisions to improve the status of the Han people, and added Liao people to the Jingzhou army, reducing the number of surrenders of the Han army.
The Jingzhou army on the border has tundi, but many tribal armies do not, and can only be maintained by fighting grass valleys. In recent years, the defense of the Song army has become more and more tight, and the number of people who came to fight the grass valley was as few as 1,000 or as many as 10,000. The number of tribal troops like this clan is too small, and there are not a few who have been annihilated by the Song army, but they are still powerless to intercept the large-scale Song army in the grass valley. This scolding was very noisy, but I heard Liao pigs and Song dogs flying all over the sky. The Song army even abused the corpses of the tribal army in every way, and the commander of the infantry army even cut off two heads and kicked them around on the ground. The Jingzhou army was furious, and they did not dare to go out without the order of the commander. Seeing that the Jingzhou army was becoming more and more uncontrollable, the commander ordered a retreat. The Song army did not pursue, and led the horses that were not yet injured. The cavalry began to put the grass valley brought by the tribal army on their horses, and many of the infantry soldiers cut off the limbs of the tribal army, and some even put them directly on the carriage.
Zhang Shaoying looked at this scene, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his soul was scattered, and in less than a while, nearly 2,000 people were killed and wounded. A commander led the troops to the bottom of the hill and shouted: "Are you Song people?" Hua Fei smiled: "Of course you are Song people." "Now the commander sent the leader to go. Only the strong smell of blood and the stumps of the banner were left on the battlefield, which was unbearable. Zhang Shaoying was shocked, Ji Lingshuang stepped forward to hold his hand, and Liu Yan looked at the wound on Zhang Shaoying's back, although it was not deep, it was really scary. No one spoke, and they all returned to the tent in silence. Zhang Shaoying** was lying on the kang with her upper body, her expression was dazed, and the pain in her back was so severe that her body couldn't help twitching. Ji Lingshuang cleaned his wounds, and Liu Yan added spices and lit the incense burner. Looking at the wound on Zhang Shaoying's back, Liu Yan wiped her tears on the side, and Zhang Shaoying sighed deeply for a long time. Liu Yan asked softly, "Is it painful?" Liu Yan's voice always made Zhang Shaoying feel warm, and she unconsciously started crying, it was anger, or fear.
Ji Lingshuang is not suitable for taking care of people, which makes Zhang Shaoying frown. Liu Yan's distressed heart was crisp, and she sighed: "I'll come." Ji Lingshuang sighed: "I'm jealous of you again." "Get out of the way. After resting for a day, with the physique of Bodhi Flower, the wound is no longer serious, but he can't bend over. Concubine Hua came in and said with a smile: "You should be glad that if you die or can't walk, the purpose of our coming here will not have to continue." Zhang Shaoying said: "Will anyone trouble us?" Hua Fei said: "Yes." Zhang Shaoying said: "When?" Hua Fei smiled and sighed: "Let's go find him." Zhang Shaoying was stunned for a moment and said, "Who are you looking for?" Concubine Hua said: "Go to the military camp of the Liao army and take a look." Zhang Shaoying was stunned for a moment, he knew that this was not a joke. The prime minister of the southern court of Liao is in charge of the military and civil affairs of the Fanhan tribe in the Yanyun area, and is the accompanying capital of the Liao State.
Since Shi Jingjiao dedicated the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao State, the Liao State moved a large number of Liao people, stationed heavy troops, as the important town of Yanyun is built a lot, with a radius of more than 30 miles, and the city of Nanjing is firm and stable. Although it is not as prosperous and majestic as the Song capital Tokyo, it is the most populous and prosperous place in Yanyun. The Khitans occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the terrain was condescending, and every time they invaded the south, they drove straight in. There was no danger to defend on a plain, and the Song army was always passive, with more defeats and fewer victories. However, the Song army was good at attacking cities and villages, and the Khitans were good at cavalry charges, and the two armies had their own strengths and weaknesses. The houses are also Han Chinese, but the wide streets are mostly Khitans and Han Chinese. Zhang Shaoying looked at these Liao people with mink coats and was deeply disgusted, there were already two teams of Jingzhou troops behind him, but Mu Qiubai couldn't see it. Whenever they saw Mu Qiubai, everyone dodged aside, and everyone thought that this person was too terrifying.
