"The crossbows are equipped with gunpowder bombs! The catapults are equipped with fire oil tanks to kill the Liao dogs!"
The Song Junhou who was in charge of long-range support was furious and yelled at his subordinates to use the most powerful weapons at hand to fight back against the Liao people.
The gunpowder bomb was thrown into the Liao army formation. With the ear-piercing roar, the gunpowder bomb was like a stone thrown into the water. After the explosion, there was a ripple and then disappeared. In the dense crowd, the gunpowder bomb was thrown into the water.
The effect of gunpowder bombs is not very good. Most of the shrapnel is absorbed by the people standing in front of it, but it cannot cause large-scale destruction.
His army was not equipped with those new incendiary bombs, which made him unable to face this suicidal attack of the Liao people except for constantly throwing fierce fire oil into the Liao army's formation.
Some Liao people were blown to pieces by gunpowder bombs, and some were ignited by fierce fire oil. They howled and ran into the military formation, but were hacked to death by their superiors one by one. As a result, the riot that had just formed quickly resumed.
Return to peace.
The distance was getting closer and closer. Li Dongchu, who was extremely angry, gave an order. Three huge holes suddenly opened in the ice wall. Countless White Horse Army warriors poured out from the gaps. The strong physiques of the White Horse Army warriors were overwhelmed by the daily suffering.
The hard training came in handy at this time. Wearing heavy armor and holding weapons, they ran as briskly as antelopes and as swiftly as cheetahs. The Liao people's large long-range weapons only fired two rounds before stopping.
Come down, because the Song Army had already started a close combat with the Liao Army, the armor-piercing awl carried on the back of the White Horse Army was thrown out. The armor-piercing awl, which could penetrate heavy armor within twenty steps, immediately broke through the Liao people's armor.
Shield formation.
At this moment, horns sounded from Yunzheng's base camp in the distance and drums were beaten three times in a row at regular intervals. Upon hearing these signals, Liang Ji on the right wing and Han Niu on the left wing shouted at the same time and began to open the ice.
Qiang launched a charge against the Liao people.
Because it is a circle, there is no difference between the middle lane and the left and right lanes. Once Yun Zheng reaches there, it will be immediately considered the middle lane.
Now in the middle is Li Dongchu's White Horse Army. With the support of the Chinese Army's strong crossbow battalion, the White Horse Army faced the enemy's arrows and came up. The two armies were mixed together in an instant.
The spears extended by the Liao army behind the giant shield were separated by the huge shields of the Song warriors in the front row. Under their cover, the warriors in the back row holding warhammers took the opportunity to smash the giant shields that were still blocking the way.
A few minutes later, gaps were opened in the long shield array. Soldiers from both sides, holding swords, guns and shields, crowded into the gaps. You retreated and I advanced, fighting over and over again, leading to a melee.
In this kind of fight to the death, if you are not careful, your life will be in danger. In a fight between a dragon and a tiger, someone will die. The loser falls to the ground and is trampled repeatedly by those who come after him. The winner may also follow in his footsteps in the next moment.
In order to break through each other, tens of thousands of people fought close to each other. Tian Dahu was a brave general, nicknamed Tiger, and he lived up to his name. He was as menacing as a descending tiger on the battlefield and moved forward bravely. If you want to divide the generals in the White Horse Army into wise,
If there are two categories of bravery, then he can be ranked at the top of the list of brave generals.
"I am a fierce tiger! If you are not afraid of death, just come up!" Tian Dahu held a big sword and stepped on the backs of his men to cross the shield array. The Liao people's spears pierced the armor with streaks of fire. He didn't care and protected with his arm shield.
Facing the door, he screamed and bravely chopped down the Liao soldiers surrounding the gap.
He followed Li Dongchu to guard Yanmen Pass for many years, and led the army to the hinterland of Liao State many times to harvest grass and valleys. His reputation for bravery had been widely spread among the Liao people a few years ago.
Everyone was killed by him, so they fled one after another.
After a while, two of the Liao people were killed, and three of them broke away from the formation and fled back. Others followed them and fled. The morale of the defenders plummeted. Immediately, the shield formation collapsed and the soldiers fled in all directions. Tian Dahu's men took the opportunity to break down the first shield formation and march toward them.
The Liao army's trebuchets were advancing rapidly.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, the Liao army commander personally led the elite infantrymen holding red-handled guns and rushed out through the snow. They shouted in unison and rushed towards Tian Dahu. The trebuchet was the last resort for the Liao people to defeat the Song ice wall.
How can we not make any mistakes?
There are many people in the Liao Dynasty, and it is very difficult for Tian Dahu to take every step forward. The machete in his hand has been discarded, and now he is holding a mace that is discarded by an unknown person in his hand.
All the Liao troops suffered broken bones and tendons.
After arduously advancing a hundred steps, Tian Dahu found that there were fewer and fewer brothers around him, but there were more and more Liao people on the opposite side. After roaring, his subordinates immediately formed a circle like a snake whose tail was stepped on.
, always maintaining a head-on confrontation with the enemy, wearing strong armor, the two sides once again launched a fierce and desperate struggle.
The strength of the Song Army was demonstrated at this time. Under three times the enemy's attack, Tian Dahu did not panic or collapse. The various teams always maintained tacit cooperation, attacked and defended properly, and moved freely. In front of the Song Army's formation, corpses lay everywhere
countless.
"Only advance, no retreat!" a Liao soldier shouted loudly when he saw that his men were showing signs of collapse again.
"You are not allowed to take a step back. Anyone who escapes without authorization will be killed without mercy!" The Liao soldiers jumped forward, beheaded several soldiers who were retreating step by step, and shouted again.
When the Liao officer shouted for the first time, Tian Dahu noticed him, but saw that he was too far away and had no chance to kill him. At this time, the Liao officer was getting closer and closer to the Song army in order to kill the retreating soldiers.
Tian Dahu saw the right moment and charged towards him with his mace.
The circular formation instantly turned into a sharp arrow formation, with Tian Dahu as the sharp arrow. The dozen or so Liao soldiers who blocked Tian Dahu's path were all easily killed by Tian Dahu without any effort.
In the blink of an eye, Tian Dahu rushed in front of the Liao officer, and hit his helmet hard with the mace. In a hurry, he lacked strength, and the Liao officer also took advantage of the opportunity to dodge, although the club did not crack his head open.
, but the force of the force caused him to fall to the ground and fainted.
The Song army next to Tian Dahu cut off his head with a second knife. Then he stabbed the bloody head on his own sharp knife and proudly shouted: "Behead an enemy chief!"
Yun Zheng saw this scene very clearly from the high platform. Although he didn't know who made the contribution, he knew that his subordinates had gone crazy in this close combat.
Perhaps because they have never suffered a real defeat in these years, all members of the Jingxi Army have developed an arrogant attitude that makes them the best in the world.
It is this arrogance that gives them the belief that they must win when facing any enemy. Therefore, it is absolutely true to say that the fierce army is fed by the corpses of the enemy.
Chen Lin did not follow Yun Zheng's instructions and hide behind the fifth ice wall. Instead, she found another high ground to objectively observe the army she was in. He was not only the supervisor of the army, but also the leader of the army.
Observer, Wang Anshi is also doing the same thing.
Both Chen Lin and Wang Anshi had an objective and detailed understanding of the army they were in through these two battles. From this moment on, they finally agreed with Yun Zheng's original plan.
The army was really able to cross the grassland, and finally blocked the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom at Gubeikou outside Yanzhou, completely separating the Sixteenth State of Yanyun from the Liao Kingdom.
Chen Lin had already seen that the trumpeter behind the ice wall was ready to blow the trumpet. He also saw that the heavy cavalry, which looked like giant beasts from the wild, was ready to go behind the ice wall. As long as the infantry could destroy the Liao people's shield formation, the heavy cavalry would be cleared.
If there is a space for sprinting, this army will definitely cut the surging crowd of Liao people into several separate pieces as soon as possible.
Yun Zheng was waiting for the moment when the Liao army was tired. The Song army had a chance to rotate, but the Liao army, which was more numerous than the Song army, had no such opportunity. They were like a large group of frightened beasts and they only knew how to rush forward.
, No matter the front army or the rear army, they are all equally tired.
The blooming flower of the Liao Army finally withered a little. Yun Zheng stood on the carriage and could see clearly. Under the attack of the Song Army in black armor, the Liao people in khaki leather armor were already slowly attacking.
Retreat slowly.
Now, all that is missing is undoubtedly the final blow.
"Dududu..."
The horn finally sounded, and several gates on the ice wall were slowly opening. Tian Dahu, who was fighting hard, shivered for no reason. He turned around and saw that his gate was opened again, and the mace repelled two
The Liao army then ordered his men to leave this road that was very suitable for heavy cavalry charges.
Since the unsatisfactory performance of the heavy cavalry in the last battle was known to the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief transferred all the heavy cavalry from the army and asked the blacksmiths in the army to make thick iron chains to bind these heavy cavalry.
The thirty-man cavalry team was completely linked together, reducing some unnecessary equipment. In addition to the saber, more gunpowder bombs were also installed. These heavy cavalry now have another resounding name called the Iron Chain!
This kind of army is completely used to rush into the formation. Tian Dahu also knew that behind the iron chain, he followed the very unreliable light cavalry of the Song Dynasty. As long as the iron chain broke through the enemy's tight military formation, those on horseback
At least the infantry could take advantage of the speed of the horses to kill more Liao troops.
The Liao soldiers who had just been killed by Tian Dahu and abandoned their armor suddenly discovered that Tian Dahu was leading his men to run towards the hills on the left. They were about to pursue them when they suddenly heard a loud noise that shook the mountains.
A group of strange cavalry completely wrapped in iron armor rushed out from the Song Army camp opposite. The speed was not very fast at the beginning. Slowly, the speed of the cavalry became faster and faster. When the group of cavalry left,
Twenty feet behind the Song army's camp, another group of cavalry in the same uniform appeared.
The eyes of the Liao Army Marquis almost fell out of their sockets, because he saw that this group of cavalry was not afraid of crossbows. Even if one of the horses was shot through by a crossbow, he would still be dragged by the rest of the heavy cavalry.
They rushed towards their already riddled military formation like an overwhelming mountain. (To be continued)
