Chapter 923 The decisive battle between Song and Liao (4)

The outstanding surprise of the Western Army was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, especially for the Liao army in front, this was a completely fatal threat, which made them temporarily give up their fierce attack on the main force of the Western Army and make up their minds to intercept the 20,000 rushing cavalry at all costs.

But even so, their response was still much slower. Even if the light and heavy cavalry turned around, they could only sigh and watch the enemy go away and kill their empty camp, and they were extremely anxious.

The situation of the war seems to have undergone a decisive change at this moment? Has the balance of victory begun to tilt towards the Western Army?

Just when everyone thought that the Western Army was about to turn the Jedi, a flag suddenly waved quickly above the barracks where the cavalry was rushing, and finally pointed straight ahead like a giant sword piercing the sky, pointing to the location of the Western Army.

This flag is clear and decisive - don't care about the rear and attack the enemy with all your strength!

When he saw the flag verb, Yelu Chen was obviously stunned for a moment, then bit his teeth and ordered: "Let's turn around and attack the Song army! The two sides will only put us in a state of defeat!"

The sound of whimpering horns sounded again, commanding the Liao army to quickly stabilize the situation and start a head-on decisive battle with the Western army again. Even the cavalry that had already rushed back for a long journey turned around and resolutely rushed to the wings of the Song army, as if to completely vent their confusion and anger in front of them on the enemy in front of them.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is the final decision made by the Liao army commander after careful consideration. He will exchange his own sacrifice for a great victory against the Western Army. But is this really worth it? Once the commander dies, the Liao army will definitely be defeated in this battle. You must know that the Song army still has the main force.

Tong Guan was about to order an attack, but when he saw this, he quickly swallowed the order back. This should be the result he hoped to see most. The Liao army and the Western army both suffered losses, and finally he would clean up the mess and win the final victory! Many other generals also had similar thoughts, all of whom were excited, looking ready to celebrate.

But Sun Tu's face was extremely gloomy at this moment. Of course, this was not because of Tong Guan's capricious and sinister behavior, but also because he felt a little uneasy in his heart. The Liao army commander made such a decisive order, was it because he had decided to sacrifice himself or had other plans?

In fact, although Zhong Shidao's strategy was fierce, it was not completely without signs. After all, when the war started just now, the Western Army had already shown its own cavalry's power. Will the Liao Army be unprepared? What if he had expected and had a arrangement?

When Sun Tu had this idea, the Western cavalry had already advanced and rushed in a hundred steps ahead of the Liao army camp. In just a few more days, they could already enter the door. But what is strange is that even at this time, there were no soldiers and soldiers coming out to intercept them. Even without even shooting half of the arrows, it seemed that they had really given up on resisting.

"There is a fraud!" Sun Tu's eyebrows suddenly raised, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

"No, I'm trapped!" Further ahead, Zhong Shidao's two gray-white eyebrows were quickly squashed together, and his face suddenly changed. Even though the two armies in front of him were in a difficult situation at this time, his attention was always on the cavalry in the distance, because he knew very well that the key to the decision of this battle was only the 20,000 cavalry.

"Kill..." The army that led the army to rush to the front shouted loudly, raised its spear, and grabbed the horse's belly, and controlled the horse's horse to jump high, flying straight towards the Liao army camp gate like a dragon soaring into the air. He wanted to use this battle to make up for his previous mistakes and wash away his shame!

The Song army soldiers in the rear also shouted loudly, and 20,000 cavalry attacked the prey in front of them like 20,000 tigers and leopards. At this moment, their momentum had reached its peak, and it seemed to be able to tear the entire Liao army camp to pieces. Even if there was an enemy blocking the road ahead, they would inevitably be swallowed by them and stepped by!

"Kill!" Twenty thousand people roared in unison, and they rushed into fifty steps.

At this time, the mount of the Sutra had already landed on the ground. After all, the horse was not as good as his previous horse. As soon as it landed on the ground, it was obviously a mistaken pause, but the speed was slower, but dozens of riders behind him passed by, stepping ahead of the gate. Then—

"Boom--!" The ground suddenly collapsed, and a huge pit suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The dozens of cavalry who were ahead of him were unable to react at all, and then they screamed and plopped in a row, falling into the big pit that was about ten feet deep and dozens of feet in a circle, almost covering the front of the Liao camp! Not to mention a horse, even if a tiger fell into it, it would be difficult to get out.

When the pit suddenly appeared, countless Western soldiers roared and wanted to slow down and dodge, but how could this be done? In order to enter the Liao camp as soon as possible, they raised the speed of the horse to the limit. Even though everyone had to push the reins with all their might, the horses were still neighing, but the people still fell down like dumplings. In an instant, hundreds of people in front of them were constantly falling.

Only because of a mistake just now, he avoided a disaster. However, as more cavalry behind him could not control the collision with people and horses, he was extremely dangerous and could only dodge with all his strength. In the end, he abandoned his horse and leaped. With the mounts of several cavalrymen on the side, he was able to escape the danger of falling into a trap.

At this time, there were screams in the trap. Not only was the trap deep enough, but it was also covered with sharp barbs below. Almost all of the first group of fallen cavalry were pierced by the spikes, and they were seriously injured even if they were not dead. Although the situation behind them was slightly better, they were also injured.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. What's more terrible is that as soon as the pit came out, the rush of 20,000 cavalry was completely interrupted, making them extremely panic and chaotic in front of the military camp, and they were in a dilemma.

In addition to panic, more people were full of doubts about this change. It was obvious that the Liao army rushed out of this camp before, but why did they pass through successfully, but their families encountered such a trap. No one could understand this problem for the time being, and the more they could not understand it, the more they became afraid of these soldiers, and even the vigilance they should have decreased.

When this scene happened, Zhong Shidao sighed again. Sure enough, he underestimated the Liao army and used troops in strategy. The Liao army commander was not inferior to him, and even this level had already come to his mind.

However, he was also a person who dared to face failure. Seeing this, he could only admit defeat and immediately shouted: "Let them come back. Since the Liao army has such a arrangement, there will be a subsequent move!" Preserving strength is the best strategy at the moment. As for the victory or defeat, it seems that there has been a conclusion at this moment.

Thinking of this, he also looked at the war in front of him. When the Liao army attacked with all its strength again, the little advantage that the Western Army had just won was lost again, and the battle situation was in danger. Even though he was as strong as the Western Army, he finally couldn't hold on in a head-on duel with the Liao army.

And even more terrifying things happened at this moment. Just when his subordinates waved the flags according to the instructions of Zhong Shidao and wanted to transfer the cavalry back, thousands of crossbowmen suddenly appeared densely on the high wall of the Liao camp in front. The arrows flew out like raindrops, killing the already panicked cavalry below off guard!

Amid the screams, countless cavalry were caught in the air and everyone was in chaos. The successive attacks had completely messed up the Western elite cavalry. Some people ran to the side and some turned around to retreat. However, with countless people crowded together, how could these cavalry easily turn around and leave? So, their random running made their own situation worse, and almost all 20,000 soldiers and horses were squeezed into a group, just like the living targets harvested by the enemy.

During this period, the sutra was still shouting with all their might, trying to control the situation. However, at this time, he had landed on the ground and deviated from the middle position, resulting in the sound of the neighing of the horses, his voice was completely covered up and his efforts were completely ignored. The morale of the army was in chaos, and it was not something he could save alone...

This was a one-sided massacre, because the Song army was within the best range of bows and arrows, and what was even more fatal was that these cavalry could not fight back with the same means at this time. The heavy rain that had been pouring on had lasted for most of the day, and the rain had already softened their bowstrings and was hard to use. However, the Liao army in the camp had prepared early, so these arrows were really shot fast and densely, almost comparable to the heavy rain that was connected to the sky.

After their crossbow power gradually dissipated, with the sound of drums, the side doors on both sides of the barracks opened, and tens of thousands of Liao troops actually came out again. They had arranged an ambush in the barracks!

This time, not only the soldiers of the Song army, but also Yelu Chen, who was always paying attention to the battle situation in the rear, were shocked. Where did these soldiers come from? As the deputy commander of the army, he didn't know that this arrangement was made, and even the big trap in front of his camp was kept in the dark. It was precisely because of this that when he saw the Song army cavalry bypassing the central army and raiding the military camp, he seemed a little panicked.

But then, Yelu Chen felt relieved again, because he remembered a little. Now there is still a momentary master of our Dali in the army. Obviously, all of this was from his work! After understanding this, he became more energetic and shouted loudly, ordering the entire army to attack fiercely. The formation of the Western Central Army was about to be broken.

In the Liao army camp, listening to the screams of murder from outside, Yelu Dashi showed a heart-pounding smile: "The Western Army of the Song Dynasty is indeed one of the few powerful enemies. The two elders of the Zhong family are even more admirable. But, it's a pity that this battle will no longer exist!"
