Chapter 1300: Battle of Trapped Beasts

When Wuwei General Ma Ling led 60,000 reinforcements to the north to support Liu Zhen, six days after the attack on Wu Lie Army, the strangle of 200,000 people against 80,000 people was extremely fierce. Wu Lie Army still fought against beasts, and the "wolf pack" facing this hedgehog was also stabbed with blood.

The Khitans naturally had a bad time. The Song Dynasty had outstanding defensive tactics. China has understood one truth for thousands of years. Compared with the cavalry who ate beef and mutton on the grassland, the Han army suffered physical strength, but it did not prevent them from winning with wisdom.

The strong defense and step-by-step fighting spirit are the magic weapons of the Wu Lie Army, which allowed them to survive until now under the impact of the tide of Khitan troops.

But even so, although the army has not yet collapsed and the army still maintains its military formation, there are still many dead people. The Wu Lie Army, which is full of 80,000 people, was only less than 50,000 left in this battle, and there are also a large number of wounded people. They lay on the temporary wooden beds built in the army to isolate the moisture on the ground. In the early spring season, the land in the north has been frozen for a long time.

The Liao people suffered a lot, and they were the side of the attack. The Song Dynasty's series of defense measures such as crossbows, gullies, caltrops, tripping horse ropes, and traps of horse pits made them suffer. Some troops even suffered more than half of the losses. The extermination of the entire system made the Liao general feel very distressed.

Two hundred thousand besieging 80,000 people was a great chance of victory. The Liao Dynasty occupied the geographical advantage and could carry out large-scale maneuvers to launch attacks on the Song army from all directions. Behind the Song army was the Daluan River, which was indecisive!

But this battle with great chance of winning was stalemate for a whole six days, no matter how hard it was to fight against a difficult siege!

However, the Liao army still refused to give up, with nearly half of the 80,000 people losing 80,000 people losing 50,000. The gap between the two is obvious. Such a huge price has been paid, how could the Liao army give up? They would never be willing to destroy all the 80,000 people on the land of the Liao Dynasty!

The horn of the attack sounded again, Zhang Lingxing shook his sore arms and raised his sword again, Liu Zhen stretched out his bloody arm and pulled him: "Let's rest! If you die in a certain army, and you will not be drowned by the saliva of the civil officials in the court after returning to the court? How can you, a scholar, lead the way?"

Zhang Lingxing glanced at him and sneered, "Just? I'm dead in battle, can you go back alive? What are you thinking? Look at the Liao people's attitude, you will never give up until we eat. Please rest. If the general of the Central Army dies, I don't know how long our Wu Lie Army can last. Remember what you promised me, my mother at home will ask!"

Liu Zhen looked at Zhang Lingxing's resolute back and smiled bitterly and unconsciously: "This sour scholar is also a good man! But I don't know how many times I said this, but I didn't see that he was really dead. It must be protected by Wenqu."

"General, the Liao people are getting more and more jealous, and our soldiers are getting fewer and fewer. If we don't take the opportunity to retreat, we will......"

"What a fool you said!"

Liu Zhen looked at the personal soldiers who had been following him for many years and gritted his teeth, "I want to let the general abandon the army and live without regard for survival? It is impossible! Tens of thousands of soldiers defeated this battle and never retreat. Do you let me retreat? Even if you survive, what are the faces to see the emperor again? What are the faces to see the elders and fellow villagers of the Song Dynasty? How can I explain to their parents, wife and children?"

The personal soldiers were speechless. They were kind-hearted and did not want their master to die here, but they didn't know that for Liu Zhen, living was more uncomfortable than dying in battle...

The soldiers in Wu Lie's army were already ready to die here. After only six days, nearly half of their casualties were killed and half. There were still four days left to reach the time for the initial appointment to withdraw. They had no hope for the withdrawal.

Although their chances of victory were slim, they were not desperate. During this period, the Liao army they killed had enough money. How much they would kill next? The Sima of the march had already recorded the beheading as military merits and kept reporting to the court with flying pigeons. Each flying pigeon carries the numerous merits of the soldiers.

Amid the sound of the horn, the attacks of the Liao people came again like a storm. The knife-catching hands rushed back from the outside of the battlefield with agility. They either held a bunch of crossbow arrows or the dry food they searched for from the Liao people, and no one returned empty-handed.

This is the only thing that can be used as a supply for the army, and it is also the only supply that can be pulled out of the dead at risk of life.

Zhang Lingxing looked at the dried meat in front of him and swallowed. To be honest, he was disdainful of this thing in the past, but now he is reluctant to eat it. There is not much ration in the army, and dried meat is also an excellent thing at this time.

There was still a lot of grain stored in the original state, which was enough for the army to support it for ten days, but who knew that the damn Liao people had some luck, but they actually shot the tarpaulin that stored the military rations.

The tarpaulin is waterproof but not fireproof. At one point, the best food and grass officer under his command wrapped his body in the tarpaulin and rolled on the ground and was burned into charcoal, but at least half of the food and grass were saved by the army.

"Put into the pot and cook porridge. When the Liao dog is defeated, I will drink with the soldiers!"

While speaking, the Liao people rushed towards them, and the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground rumbling, trembling the earth and trembling people's hearts. The figures of the Liao people gradually became clear as the dust flew.

When Zhang Lingxing could see the enemy's tassels flying on his horse, he shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

The messenger on the side raised the red flag and shook it, buzzing... Countless sour sounds sounded, and a black dark cloud rose into the sky in the Song army's army formation, pounced towards the rolling enemy cavalry like locusts.

This is a crossbow arrow that can effectively kill enemies three hundred steps away. At the same time, accompanied by the huge winch sound, the Baniu Crossbow's one and three sword arrows also shot out flat. The huge crossbow arrow like a spear was like a bolt of lightning in the air, so fast that it was hard to see its ballistics.

When the Liao army heard the sound, it was almost about to fly into the formation and was shot through the body without having time to dodge. The huge force made the crossbow of Baniu Crossbow's crossbow take away one life after another after shooting through a person until it fell out of strength.

Some crossbow arrows form a large chain reaction after piercing the war horses. The fallen war horses trip over more cavalry. In this rolling iron stream, the cavalry on the horse was instantly stepped into meat paste.

The crossbow arrows in the sky fell like raindrops, but what they made was not the crackling sound of raindrops, but the deadly penetration sound, accompanied by the screams of the Liao army.

However, this time the Liao army had long experience and mostly blocked it with shields. Although it would be penetrated by crossbow arrows, it was at least not so fatal. The Immortals were already the last request of the Liao Dynasty to face the long-range strike of the Song Dynasty, and they could only do this...
