“Every year from July to October, millions of wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, antelopes, and tens of millions of flamingos form a massive procession, coming from the Serengeti Reserve in Tanzania in the south.
Travel to Kenya's Masai Mara National Park.
They escaped from the giant crocodiles in the swamps and from the ferocious lions and leopards hidden deep in the grass. They rushed across rivers and borders and entered the new world in the north."
The commentary on the wildebeest migration that he had heard in the past seemed to be echoing in Yun Zheng's ears. That magnificent scene was so similar to the current behavior of the Liao people.
The front could no longer be defended. Just now, a group of Song troops who were trying to launch crossbows retreated a little late. Hundreds of people were completely overwhelmed by the surging crowd. They even delayed the enemy's footsteps as the last step.
Not even the basic tasks have been completed.
Some Liao people had already crossed the second ice wall. Although more Liao people were killed by crossbow arrows, their corpses rolled down the ice wall. Soon, those corpses formed a huge ice wall under the ice wall.
Due to the gentle slope, the Liao people behind were able to successfully cross the second ice wall by stepping on these corpses.
The surging crowd hit the ice wall like waves. After a short time, the ice wall finally collapsed and shattered. A huge gap appeared in front of the Liao people. As a result, the crowd behind them became even more crazy.
.
The war has progressed to this point, and there is no sense left. The Liao people ignore the Song people on both sides who are throwing weapons at them frantically. They only follow the front army with red eyes and rush forward.
The great courage generated by fear made the Song army terrified.
"For young wildebeests, the most dangerous enemy is hyenas. Hyenas will never be left behind. They follow the migration of wildebeest herds..."
The injured and thin Liao people were gradually squeezed out by the crowd. Only the strongest and most powerful Liao people could crowd around the center of the large team with peace of mind. As the crowd continued to break out, those outside
The Liao people could only fall under the crossbows of the Song people.
The infantry encircling the cavalry was a ridiculous sight, but this scene did appear at the gates of Xijing. The Liao people could no longer be called an army at this time. They were just a group of broken soldiers eager to escape.
Yun Zheng firmly believed that after the bloody courage of these hungry Liao people was exhausted, they would not be able to survive this cold winter even if the Song army did not pursue them.
Yun Zheng looked at the scene in front of him coldly as he crossed the military formation lined with spears of the Song Dynasty.
Wang Anshi fell down next to Yun Zheng, and the scene in front of him almost overturned all his understanding of the army.
He murmured to himself with trembling lips: "So this is a great rout!"
In contrast, Chen Lin's eyes were full of fanaticism, and her blood-red eyes were like the eyes of a hyena, staring at the fat prey running wildly under her feet.
When each wave of crossbow arrows rose, he would shout with joy, jump on his feet and throw out all the throwable objects around him, including the beautifully carved helmet he held.
His white hair was scattered randomly on his shoulders, flying up and down every time he jumped. At this moment, Chen Lin's heart was filled with the joy of harvest.
Yun Zheng knelt down and looked at Wang Anshi and said, "You said the Liao people fled because they were worried that I would trap their soldiers?"
After coming back to his senses, Wang Anshi stood up and said: "Xiao Dahu is dead!"
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "That makes sense."
"There is another cavalry group that has come out from the east gate and is attacking us!"
Wang Anshi again told what he saw and heard at the east gate.
"These should be Xiao Dahu's pro-army troops. They don't want to live anymore. They just want to avenge Xiao Dahu."
"The south and north must not be very stable now, right?"
"Yes, traces of the Liao people have also been found there, but the number is far less than here at Ximen. The main force of the Liao people is now here."
"The enemy troops in Changqing and Tiancheng counties also made movements, but they did not come to Xijing City, but went all the way east." Su Xun was still fulfilling his duty to join the army.
"It is inevitable that the trees will fall and the hozens will scatter. Perhaps they are the only army in the western part of the Liao Kingdom that has the chance to return to Xijing!"
Order Zhao Min to stop chasing and return to Xijing quickly. They should have more important tasks to complete at this time!"
After giving the military order, Yun Zheng sat on a chair covered with tiger skin and continued to look at the flow of people in front of him, which was not decreasing at all, with gloomy eyes.
The roar of the Liao people all day long could be heard in the distance. From the sound, it seemed that the last line of defense of the Song army was located there.
Yunzheng's military deployment is actually very problematic. Most of the troops are used to guard the first and second lines of defense. The following lines of defense are getting larger and larger. Without the retreat support of the defenders of the first and second lines of defense,
, simply not enough to defend such a huge range.
Now, their own defenses have finally been broken through, and this group of crazy people have accomplished what Xiao Dahu has always wanted to do.
Yun Zheng heard the cheers of the Liao army, and naturally the rest of the Liao army also heard it, so their footsteps became even faster. Everyone was desperately pushing their partners outwards, while he quickened his pace and charged forward.
.
In the dark night, I don’t know how many murders have been performed and are happening. Yun Zheng is like a hunting tiger, sitting quietly in the dark and watching their scenes unfold. At this time of human life,
Worthless.
When the morning star was gradually engulfed by daylight, the turbulent flow of people finally became sparse. Yun Zheng stood up, and the monkey immediately waved the big flag in his hand. The Song Army infantrymen and soldiers who had been prepared for a long time began to move toward the gap.
Surrounded everywhere, the six-foot-long horse-killing sword would bring out terrifying blood with every rotation of the soldier's body. The remaining Liao army became even more frightened, and they began to use their knives to slash at anyone who blocked their steps.
obstacle.
When the long knife falls on the infantry armor, it can only produce a few sparks. To deal with the infantry armor, known as the steel fortress, using spikes is much more effective than cutting with a knife. It is a pity that those long spears that are in the way are discarded by the Liao people.
The only weapon they had in their hands was a short sword close to their body. The weapon in the hands of the Liao army, which still had some fighting consciousness, was just a long sword.
Two black torrents cut off the fleeing crowd like iron gates. The Liao people who could not escape howled and had to flee to Xijing City in a hurry, but were shot dead by crossbow arrows one by one on the way back to the city.
When the sun rose ten feet high, the battle under Xijing City had gradually ended. There were only a few places on the entire battlefield with fireworks, and the corpses everywhere were smeared with a light golden color after being illuminated by the rising sun.
The lion-like fool went chasing his herd of wildebeest.
Li Dongchu, who is like a crocodile, also went chasing his herd of wildebeest.
The leopard-like Lang Tan was walking on the battlefield last night, walking among the layers of corpses, like a proud king of beasts.
"Drag Lang Tan back from the battlefield." Yun Zheng whispered to the monkey.
The monkey mounted his horse and entered the battlefield, dragging Lang Tan under Yun Zheng's carriage.
"Have you gotten carried away? How many people do you know who were killed by enemies hiding among the corpses while admiring their trophies?"
Yun Zheng just asked Lang Tan and did not blame him excessively. These people are now important generals and must be given the necessary face.
"Get ready to go to town!"
Seeing that Lang Tan already knew that he was wrong, Yun Zheng gave Lang Tan the honor of being the first to enter Xijing City. This guy still needs to be cultivated vigorously.
"No, I will be the first to enter the city!" Wang Anshi, who had not spoken for a long time, interrupted.
Yun Zheng's brows furrowed, and Lang Tan's vicious eyes immediately pierced Wang Anshi.
"I don't want to compete with the general for the credit of climbing the city, but I just want to fulfill my promise to my old friend. Now that the killing is over, we need comfort even more!"
Wang Anshi quickly apologized to Lang Tan.
Before Lang Tan could speak, Yun Zheng said: "I remember that your original idea was to clear out Xijing City and create a livable city for the later refugees of the Song Dynasty!"
"The killing was too brutal!" Wang Anshi raised his head and looked at Yun Zheng calmly.
"Too much is not enough!" he said again.
Yun Zheng looked at Xijing City in the distance, turned around and said to Lang Frankly: "The first achievement is still yours, but let him go first into the city!"
After Yun Zheng finished speaking, he led a group of staff downstairs from the carriage and began to issue military orders again. The entire army slowly moved from back to front, and the main formation slowly pushed towards Xijing City.
Xi Guxun sat on his knees on the cold snow, squinting his eyes to watch the rising sun. It was not until Wang Anshi came back that he cast an inquiring gaze on him.
"Shuai Yun promised me to be the first to enter the city!"
Xigu Xunren lowered his head and closed his eyes in pain and said: "So my army of 300,000 in Daliao has been wiped out?"
"No, a lot of people rushed out. Yun Shuai's fierce attack didn't even leave half of them behind. However, those people fought on empty stomachs for almost two hours. Many people would die if they stopped, and Yun Shuai's pursuit
The soldiers are already on their way."
Xigu Xunren clasped his hands and asked, "What should I do?"
Wang Anshi knelt down and helped Xigu Xunren up and said: "Tell everyone in Xijing City to put down their weapons and capture them without mercy!"
"You said that my daughter and children would be unharmed."
Wang Anshi smiled and said: "Brother Mingdao, I promise that your wife, concubines and children will not be harmed. I have already guaranteed it, so you can rest assured now."
Xigu Xunren stared at Wang Anshi and said: "The women and children in the city are either my wives or my children. They are all my family members, every one of them!"
"Can you take them away? I mean every woman and child in the city!"
"able!"
"In that case, let's go into the city now!"
Wang Anshi ordered someone to find a horse, and after helping the Xigu people onto the horse, he led his own soldiers to overcome the heavy siege of the Song army and walked towards Xijing City. (To be continued)
