Chapter 1094 Desperate Liao Army(1/2)
Tens of thousands of cavalry were in awe of great momentum and were full of fighting spirit, but when the current side was full of corpses of their own people and horses, their morale was stagnant.
Thousands of people and horses were walking in front of them, one of which was not slaughtered at all, but it hurt the heart of the Liao army.
This is their method to trample the enemy to death with war horses.
But now this method has been used by the Song army, which is really painful!
"The Song army is advancing!"
The boundless and unobstructed Song army infantry was advancing, and the cavalry guarded on both wings.
“How many people?”
General Liao said with a relaxed expression: "We will defeat them."
"I can't see clearly!"
"You can't see the edge at a glance, and you can't judge the number of people!"
General Liao said coldly: "Then go and investigate and let the scout attack!"
Amid the sound of the horn, thousands of cavalry of the Liao army attacked and surrounded the two wings.
"The enemy's ranger, ignore it if you don't get close!"
Chen An ordered calmly.
This is the commander before the war, and Han Qi has no say.
The enemy cavalry quickly approached the Song army from both wings, which was a test and also a close reconnaissance.
"No need to pay attention!"
Thousands of cavalry were just little sheep for the Song army, and they were not enough to eat.
"Enemy troops approach!"
After all, the Liao army was still the Liao army, and their years of overlord career made them full of courage.
Just like the world police in later generations, a small amount of force dares to provoke powerful opponents.
"Bound arrow..."
The huge crossbow formation was divided into part and faced the enemy sideways.
The spears and knives and axe players on the periphery were on guard.
"put!"
The crossbow arrows took off, and the enemy troops who were accelerating were in trouble.
Countless people were caught off guard, and the war horses were neighing and then fell down.
Countless crossbows planted a 'forest' on the flanks
"Retreat! Retreat!"
The power of the crossbow formation has been tested, but the price is not small.
The Liao cavalry on both wings quickly evacuated and went back to report their discovery.
"The Song army had about 60,000 to 70,000 people, and the periphery was spearmen and axe driver, and the middle was full of crossbow formations... the crossbow formations on the edge were not visible. In the middle was a large convoy of supplies."
How to fight?
Everyone was watching Liao General.
"The Song people's reliance is the crossbow formation. Today, our army will defeat them with a bold impact."
In the era of cold weapons, when two armies deal with each other, they must make a difference if they want to break the deadlock.
The Song army has been advancing. If they don’t care, the situation will reverse when they arrive at the city of Baozhou.
There are strong cities to defend, and the food and supplies of the Liao army from afar are a big problem and can only retreat.
So an attack must be launched!
"attack!"
Ten thousand riders ran wildly, with a terrifying momentum.
"Stop..."
The Song army stopped, and the spearmen and swordsman in front lined up, and the huge crossbow formation in the middle began to prepare.
Han Qi stood in the carriage and felt a little excited.
This was the first time he had seen such a large-scale offensive and defensive battle. When he saw someone around him turned pale, he said, "What are you afraid of? I will go up and fight later..."
Well!
The people around him looked at Han Qi and whispered: "Han Xiang, there are no war horses..."
With your size, what kind of war horse can take you to kill the enemy? I am afraid that the war horse will collapse just halfway through the way.
"Cross the crossbow arrow... let it go!"
A sound of firing a crossbow machine was made from the huge crossbow formation, and then everyone couldn't help but look up and watch the huge dark clouds pounce forward.
The people in front of him suddenly fell on their backs, and countless people fell to the ground and were trampled to death by subsequent war horses.
"What a big crossbow formation..."
Behind the Liao army, the Liao generals and a group of people were having headaches.
"Everyone is careful and steady. A wave of crossbow arrows came down, and our army suffered heavy casualties. Is this kind of attack... not appropriate?"
The Liao general looked at the person who was talking and said coldly: "For the sake of raiding, our army came all the light cavalry, and there was not much food and grass. If we didn't attack, would we go back like this? Then Your Majesty will kill someone, and before that, someone will kill you first!"
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that the atmosphere was not very correct.
In the past, when facing the Song army, they always had psychological advantages and won the battle easily.
But today the atmosphere is a bit heavy.
"here we go again!"
The second wave of crossbow arrows came again. General Liao raised his head and lowered his head as the crossbow arrows landed. He looked at the countless people and horses in front of him and the howls were deafening.
“Is this hell?”
The third round of crossbow arrows appeared, and Liao General sighed: "Who made the divine power crossbow?"
"Say it's Chen An!"
The Liao general said angrily: "Tell the soldiers that they will kill the officials led by the Song army, and be promoted to five levels and be rewarded with one thousand stalemates!"
All the people who were promoted and made money were alive. When the news spread, the Liao army was motivated.
"I'm going to rush up!"
The Liao army in front withstood three rounds of crossbow arrows, leaving behind corpses of people and horses all over the ground, and finally assaulted to the front.
There is a piece of steel ahead.
The spearmen inserted their spears into the ground with their bodies leaning back...
The Liao army on the horse was shooting arrows, and the rain of arrows came.
The spearmen and the swordsman just lowered their heads slightly, listening to the crisp sound of arrows hitting the armor.
The war horses rushed to the formation.
The spear stabbed into the body of the horse, and with the help of the speed of the war horse, it stabbed in deeply.
Then the spear was bent by a huge impact force, and when it reached its limit, the sound of breaking was endless.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...
The spear broke, and the spearmen let go and fled.
He was so slow that he was knocked away by the war horse and fell in front of the subsequent swords and axe players.
The Liao army in the front row suffered heavy casualties, but the ones behind were still coming.
The Song army had no cavalry to fight.
From the beginning of the founding of the country, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty was treasure. Before it was absolutely necessary, they would not hedge against the enemy in the front.
In other words, from the beginning, the infantry used their flesh and blood to resist the impact of enemy cavalry and never retreated.
"Knife and Axeman!"
With swords and axes standing in front of him, the king raised the big sword made by Yunguan and shouted: "Tiger!"
Knife and axe slash.
The Liao army in front was stunned, and immediately the head of the war horse fell to the ground, and he fell off his horse.
The swordsman must be tall, because tallness is conducive to slashing. Otherwise, you will look up at the enemy on the horse’s back, how can you kill them?
The sword light flashed, and blood was shooting in front of him.
"Awesome!"
To be continued...
