The war came so suddenly and violently. The Song Army almost woke up from their sleep and was about to face the most brutal fighting. The Song Army, who had slept so softly that his muscles and bones were weak, was naked in a short period of time.
The fierce and shirtless Liao soldiers were defeated steadily.
Xilamulun shed tears and stabbed the long knife in his hand into the waist of a Song Jun. He did not pull the knife out directly because the knife could easily get caught in the ribs, so he started to circumcise and the knife cut off.
Song Jun's belt was freed from the fetters on the other side, and he saw that Song Jun's internal organs were bleeding all over the floor.
Such a victory did not make him more confident, but instead made him feel more fearful. He was lucky to survive at Yehukou, but Shili Muli died miserably. To this day, Xilam
Ren still remembers the scene when Seromisato's head was smashed with a flail.
It was the commander-in-chief's idea to raid the Song army from the tunnels. The commander-in-chief selected the bravest warriors from the entire army to take on this important task. He didn't understand why he was chosen.
There is not much food left in the city, and some of the thin war horses have been slaughtered. Xilamulun still remembers that he only ate a fist-sized piece of horse meat after he went on an expedition. This is already the best treatment in the army.
.
Now he understood that he needed to pay back the piece of horse meat he ate with his own life.
A bright light flashed before his eyes, and Xilamulun protected his upper body with his log shield. Soon a loud noise came over, and there were bursts of sharp pain in his thighs. It should be the fragments of gunpowder bullets that had penetrated into him.
thigh.
Xilamulun roared, his voice extremely sad and angry. The injury to his thigh meant that he could no longer run fast. He had no way to use his strong legs to escape from the battlefield like he did during the Yehukou battle.
He was pushed in the back, and he saw his general and commander-in-chief roaring at him with his mouth wide open, but Xilamulun's ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear anything.
Qihou Langjun is a real veteran of Liao Kingdom who has fought many battles. Only those who have served as guard of military tents for two terms can get this title, so Xilamulun is in awe of him.
When Xilamulun turned around, he was about to get closer so that he could hear clearly what the Lord was saying, but he found that a crossbow arrow had penetrated the throat of the Lord, and what came out of the big mouth was no longer a sound, but a sound.
It was a mouthful of blood.
Desperate Xilamulun saw a hole in the ice wall, and without saying a word, he got into the gap. His feet were slippery, he staggered, and then his body rolled down the gap.
Before he could come to his senses, two huge horse hooves passed over his forehead. The log shield hung on Xilamulun's arm saved him again. The horse's hind hooves hit the shield again.
Kick him far away once.
The war horse only ran two steps before a thick crossbow bolt penetrated the chest of the war horse, and then strung together the cavalry lying on the back of the war horse. Xilamulun could clearly see the front hooves of the war horse kneeling on the ground.
On the ground, he and the cavalry rolled on the ground twice and then began to twitch violently.
The dizzy Xilamulun saw that the ground was full of dead horses and cavalry. Some of the cavalry were not dead, but were crushed by the horses and shouted for help.
People were coming and going on the battlefield, and the cavalry charged towards the ice wall like a tide. The cavalry who came in front of the ice wall did not bother to attack the Song army lying on the ground attacking them, but used all available weapons to beat the ice wall.
Flail, hammer, mace, horse spear, sword, every blow can take away a piece of ice and snow. However, those Song troops hiding behind the ice wall continued to hurt those brave Daliao cavalry like poisonous snakes.
They used crossbows, gunpowder bombs, crossbow arrows, trebuchets, and spears. They would even throw an iron ball that could burn violently to form a wall of fire twenty steps away from the ice wall.
The cavalry in a military tent disappeared. This was Xilamulun's calculation, because he saw a triangular flag falling in front of him. One flag represented the five hundred cavalry in a military tent.
The corpse of the war horse finally pressed a passage through the wall of fire. In that narrow passage, another cavalryman holding a triangular flag fiercely crossed the corpse of the war horse and rushed in through the gap...
Xilamulun felt like an outsider. He did not dare to stand up, because doing so would attract crossbow arrows, gunpowder bombs, or other weapons. His only option was to buckle the family's log shield on his
He huddled under the shield as much as possible to avoid being trampled to pieces by the war horses. He even had time to take out a small wolf fang from the belt in his arms, hold it with one hand and pray to the gods.
Don't let yourself make the same mistakes as those cavalrymen.
A huge stone hit the open space where Xilamulun was, and the body of a war horse was broken by the waist. Immediately, more boulders continued to fall next to Xilamulun, and even a huge boulder directly bombarded the ice wall.
A large piece was knocked away, and the ice wall more than a foot long was covered with cracks like spider webs.
A Song army marquis roared and appeared at the gap in the ice wall. With a spear more than ten feet long, he stabbed a Liao cavalry who was wandering in the gap ready to rush in. His dark armor was covered with white arrows. He was alone.
It just blocked the gap, like a new ice wall.
A long arrow with white tail feathers came out of the dark night and landed accurately on the military commander's cheekbone. The hard arrow cluster penetrated his cheekbone and then came out from his left cheek. He unexpectedly
Instead of retreating, he advanced and threw the spear as a throwing spear...
The battle in front of the ice wall became intense. The cavalry rushed out from the thick smoke in a steady stream, hitting the wall like a tide, and after smashing into pieces, they were scattered in front of the ice wall.
The chest of a war horse had been bruised by gunpowder bombs, and the same was true for the cavalry on him. The war horse's eyes even drooped outside the eye sockets. He couldn't see clearly what was on the left, but he just rushed forward crazily with the cavalry.
The war horse hit the ice wall and broke its bones and tendons, but it was not just the war horse and cavalry that were smashed. The cracked ice wall finally shattered like a piece of beaten jade, and the ground was covered with crystal ice and snow.
Then countless incendiary bombs were thrown out from behind the gap with the screams of the military commander. After the loud noise, a large group of blazing flames appeared in the gap, and then seven or eight sledges were carried over.
, overturned and then blocked again on the ice wall...
Xilamulun quietly crawled a few steps to the side. There was no violent movement, and his body soon felt very cold. Finally, he found a small piece of earth, and he started to use his hands like a marmot.
Digging into that soft sand...
Countless boulders flew out of the darkness, and the ice wall quickly became torn apart.
The six eight-niu crossbows of the Song Army re-set their altitude, and the eighteen thick crossbow arrows shined with dazzling light. These crossbow arrows equipped with white phosphorus flew across the sky with a buzzing sound, forming eighteen arrows in the mid-air.
A beautiful arc, and then exploded in mid-air. The entire battlefield was illuminated by the exploded white phosphorus like daylight.
Although the light was only for a moment, the trebuchet hidden in the smoke flickered. After the short positioning, under the roar of the Liao general, countless gunpowder shells were thrown into the air by the crossbow, falling like raindrops.
Among the array of Liao trebuchets.
Explosions sounded intensively, and the flames flew randomly in the air along with the broken parts of the trebuchet, while the Liao cavalry continued to launch a new round of impact on the Song army under the light of gunpowder bombs.
Xijing City is like a huge beehive, with soldiers constantly pouring out of it. As soon as they leave the city gate, they will launch a new round of charge towards the ice wall held by the Song army.
The dense sound of horn horns almost covered up the explosion of gunpowder bombs. Every horn horn sounded means that a military tent has begun to move out.
The cavalry was followed closely by a large group of infantry. These soldiers, who originally belonged to the Han race, also had red eyes at this time. They carefully protected their bodies with their shields, and mixed in with the cavalry group, they quickly pushed towards the ice wall.
Lang Tan's voice has become hoarse, and the lights in the hands of the soldiers are constantly changing. They have just dealt with the extremely threatening trebuchet, and the outside of the ice wall is already densely covered with Liao soldiers.
Wave after wave of crossbow arrows flew high into the sky, and then fell again. The Eight Ox Crossbow opened up one gap after another in the crowd, which would soon be filled by the crowd. At this time, the Song Army only knew how to mechanically load the crossbow arrows.
, then pedaled with his feet to hang the crossbow string, and then shot the three crossbow arrows on the crossbow machine together.
The thick black smoke almost obscured the bright moonlight, and it seemed that even the moon couldn't bear to continue witnessing the tragic situation in front of her, and hurriedly descended from the top of the mountain.
The earth was dark.
Yun Zheng looked at the last Liao army that rushed towards the high ground where he had planned to command and fell under the crossbow. He sighed and said to the monkey: "Tell Lang Tan that he can launch incendiary bombs, and then blow up the ice house and evacuate the first place."
One ice wall, go back behind the second ice wall."
Seeing that the monkey had already sent the order, Su Xun couldn't help but opened his mouth and asked: "Commander, our first ice wall has not been lost!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Fighting in the dark is very disadvantageous for us. The Liao army is now jumping over the wall in a hurry. As long as we consume the Liao people's fighting spirit under these ice walls, they will soon be desperate."
.
What's more, the first ice wall is still under the attack of the Eight Bull Crossbows. Even if the Liao people occupy the first ice wall, they have no way to use it, let alone continue to move forward. During the day, they want to attack our army's crossbows.
I'm afraid it's not that easy to bargain with the ballista."
Su Xun frowned and said: "But once we retreat, the encirclement will become larger, which will make it easier for the Liao people to deploy their troops. If they continue to attack us tomorrow night, will we continue to retreat?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "The territory lost at night must be regained during the day!" (To be continued)
