In my ears, I heard one of the surviving warriors cry out about their brief battle.
In his eyes, he looked at the strange defense line built with carts and wooden planks in front of him; and at the position tens to more than 200 steps in front of the defense line.
Dozens of his fallen men looked far away to stop the horse, as well as the corpses of their horses.
Da Bo, the leader of the Liao army's expedition to stop Zima, suddenly felt a huge flame rising in his heart, wanting to tear the Song people in front of him into pieces.
Although Da Bo was a Bohai native, Bohai nobles had always been highly valued in the Liao Kingdom.
Therefore, after their Bohai Kingdom was destroyed by the Liao people, Da Bo was still loyal to the Liao Kingdom.
In the previous time, he had been in a state of great excitement; everything was due to the leadership of Yelu Dashi. In the past few days, they not only defeated the forwards of the Song Dynasty's East Route Army and West Route Army.
.
These two people, after discovering the retreat of the main force of the Song Dynasty's Western Route Army,
Yelu Dashi, the commander-in-chief of the army, almost made a desperate move and sent all his elite cavalry to pursue the retreating Song troops.
It has to be said that Zhong Shidao, who was called Lao Zhong Xianggong by the Song Dynasty, led the elite Western Army in the end and was not bad in combat capability.
Relying on the large number of soldiers and sharp crossbows, once a strict battle formation was formed in the wild, they were forced to rush into the formation several times without being able to break in.
Fortunately, God is still protecting Daliao.
At the critical moment of the stalemate between the two sides, the north wind blew up, and later densely packed large hailstones fell. The formation of the Song people was immediately disrupted.
In the charge led by Yelu Dashi himself, the Song army was defeated in an instant.
Nowadays, in the great plains with a radius of dozens of miles, there are frightened Song soldiers everywhere. They run around like headless flies and are easily killed one by one by the Liao warriors.
However, Dabo, who led all the far-reaching expeditions in the army, did not participate in such a pursuit.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but he has a more important task.
Because Dashi Linya (Linya, a special official position in the Liao Kingdom, equivalent to a high-ranking official in the Song Dynasty) ordered him to bring a thousand fine cavalry as the vanguard of the army.
We must take advantage of the Song army's defeat to seize the gate of Xiongzhou City.
They held on until the army arrived and completely captured Xiongzhou City.
As long as they capture Xiongzhou, a big city on the border of the Song people, from now on they, the last army of the Liao Kingdom, will continue to attack the Song Dynasty.
It was better for the Song people to admit defeat and seek peace, so that they could turn around and deal with the Jurchens. They were taking the absolute initiative.
Even if they can't capture Xiongzhou, with their vanguard force quickly inserting behind enemy lines to intercept, dozens and hundreds of miles of Song deserters from Baigou River to Xiongzhou are still cattle to be slaughtered for them.
Just sheep.
So on this road, Dabo led thousands of fine cavalry, regardless of the Song army's defeated troops who could easily be killed on the roadside.
The group of people rushed on the road desperately in order to complete the order of Shilinya to seize Xiongzhou, which was in their hearts as if they were possessed by the God of War.
Half a quarter of an hour ago, Dabo was full of confidence in completing such an order.
Mainly the warriors of the Liao Dynasty. After successive victories against the Song people, the courage that had been defeated at the hands of the Jurchens recovered again.
He really looked up to the army of the Song Dynasty, and he was as heroic as a chicken or a dog. Even if he was riding alone, he would have the courage to chase and kill hundreds of Song people.
But I never thought that I would encounter such a situation not too far away from Xiongzhou City.
Immediately, this Bohai noble became furious.
But the biggest reason that made Dabo angry was just because of the casualties of dozens of distant expedition horses; you must know that since World War I, elites like Daliao have become increasingly rare, and every one who dies is one less.
And in the next battle, there will probably be another hundred casualties.
As for breaking through this strange car formation, he didn't think it was difficult at all.
As long as they could endure the damage caused by the powerful bows and crossbows of the Song troops during the charge; once they rushed into the car formation, these Song troops would be defeated again.
Next, they follow easily and kill them from behind easily.
It has to be said that there is not much problem with Da Bo's idea; because in several previous battles, the Song army they encountered behaved like this.
But what he didn't know was that the Song Jun in front of him was a little different.
*******
There is no process of sending a messenger to set out conditions before starting a war, asking Hu Biao and others to surrender immediately and get out of the way.
Not to mention that before the two armies started fighting, the leaders of both sides came to fight in a one-on-one duel.
Anyway, what Hu Biao could see was that after nearly a thousand elite Liao soldiers appeared in front of him, they only stayed briefly for five or six minutes and then immediately launched an attack.
There is no strategy, no fancy tactics, not even a battlefield reserve team.
It was nothing more than leaving dozens of people behind to take care of the extra war horses.
Inside and outside the forest on the right, there were actually two to three thousand Song troops defeated; these were useless snacks in their eyes, and they couldn't even take a second look at them.
Thousands of horsemen spread out to a width of more than 100 meters, and with the sound of horns, they slapped their horses together and rushed towards the car formation.
His intention to attack with the entire army and break through their defenses at all costs was written directly on his face.
Not to mention! When thousands of riders rushed over like this, it still put a huge pressure on everyone behind the formation.
But now, many netizens know in their hearts that they have no other choice but to stay here and not retreat...
Just like the brief battle ten minutes ago.
When the Jingqi in front of him entered the 300-meter shooting range, Hu Biao took the tin trumpet and shouted: "Double-bow crossbow, shoot~"
Immediately, Lang Qing and others swung their mallets and smashed the trigger.
The powerful crossbow arrows still had a very satisfying killing effect. In an instant, four war horses, as well as their owners on horseback, were all shot to the ground.
However, such a mere loss of four cavalrymen could not even be considered as a deterrent to the many Liao soldiers.
The remaining Liao soldiers still rushed forward with all their might.
Then, as these Liao soldiers and cavalry continued to rush over,
The vibration of thousands of horse hooves hitting the ground at the same time can be clearly transmitted through the soles of the feet to the whole bodies of everyone behind the defense line.
In addition to Hu Biao and other veterans who participated in thousands of horse racing competitions in the Western Regions, there were many new netizens who came here, and their little faces turned pale on the spot.
Hu Biao hesitated for a moment, but still did not use those 'Gatling fireworks'.
Immediately after, the orders "Archers, shoot~" and "Crossbowmen, shoot~" were issued one after another.
In the intensive rain of arrows, especially the firing of hundreds of yellow birch crossbows, they finally caused considerable damage to the Liao soldiers. There were more than thirty riders in total, who fell from their horses screaming.
Even if he didn't die at the time, he was soon trampled to death by the horses behind him.
However, facing such a scene, Da Bo, who was in the middle and rear position of the charging cavalry at that time, showed a relaxed smile on his face.
Because after the warriors under his command deliberately lay down on their horses, facing the rain of arrows from the Song army, the casualties were much lower than he originally expected.
The Song people's most threatening crossbow fired once, but they also had no time to reload before they rushed into the car formation.
It was precisely in this way that he clearly saw that the warriors under his command who were rushing at the front gradually closed the distance they had spread out after withstanding the Song people's crossbow arrows.
They prepared to rush in towards the gap between two large cars that could accommodate one person to pass through.
But at this moment, a faint shout came from the car formation, and sword and shield hands holding shields in their hands appeared one after another, and at the same time, spears were raised diagonally behind them.
In an instant, the strange car formation seemed to have turned into a jungle full of spears.
Although the expressions on the faces of those sword and shield fighters at the front were a little panicked, there was a firmness in their eyes that was very unfamiliar to Dabo and other Liao soldiers...
